Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of asphalt processing technology, and more specifically, to a modified asphalt premixing kettle. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid growth of highway construction in my country, road transport has become increasingly busy. Rutting, cracking, potholes, and other defects in asphalt pavements are severe. To comprehensively improve the performance of asphalt pavements, the use of modified asphalt is one effective measure. Currently, the most commonly used modified asphalts include SBR, PE, EVA, rubber powder, and SBS. SBS, due to its excellent bidirectional modification properties (i.e., the ability to simultaneously change the high-temperature and low-temperature properties of the base asphalt), has been widely used in recent years. SBS modified asphalt is prepared using styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer (SBS) as a modifier. Through a physical blending process, SBS adsorbs aromatic hydrocarbons and resins from the asphalt, undergoing swelling to form a new colloidal structure system, i.e., forming a network structure within the asphalt, thus comprehensively improving the performance of the asphalt.

[0003] Commercially available modified asphalt premixing kettles typically use a single stirring rod to mix the asphalt. When the asphalt is mixed with the ingredients, the asphalt inside the kettle is pulled by the stirring rod and tends to form a flow pattern that follows the rotation of the stirring rod. As a result, the mixing area is mainly concentrated around the stirring rod, while the asphalt in areas far from the stirring rod may not be fully mixed. Consequently, it takes a long time for the asphalt and ingredients to be fully mixed, especially in hard-to-reach areas such as the bottom and corners of the kettle, where ingredients may accumulate or the asphalt may not completely coat the ingredients. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a modified asphalt premixing kettle, which has the advantages of improving mixing efficiency and uniformity.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a modified asphalt premixing kettle, comprising a kettle body, an end cap threadedly connected to the top of the kettle body, a first motor fixedly installed at the middle part of the top of the end cap, a drive rod provided at the bottom of the first motor, an assembly plate fixedly installed at the bottom of the drive rod, a plurality of stirring rods fixedly installed at the bottom of the assembly plate, a second motor fixedly installed at the middle part of the bottom of the kettle body, a rotating shaft provided at the top of the second motor, and a spiral conveying plate fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating shaft.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a modified asphalt premixing kettle, including a kettle body 1. The top of the kettle body 1 is threadedly connected to an end cover 2. A first motor 3 is fixedly installed in the middle part of the top of the end cover 2. A drive rod 4 is provided at the bottom of the first motor 3. An assembly plate 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the drive rod 4. Several stirring rods 6 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the assembly plate 5. A second motor 7 is fixedly installed in the middle part of the bottom of the kettle body 1. A rotating shaft 8 is provided at the top of the second motor 7. A spiral conveying plate 9 is fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating shaft 8.

[0023] The system achieves multi-dimensional mixing through the cooperation of the first motor 3, drive rod 4, assembly plate 5, stirring rod 6, second motor 7, rotating shaft 8, and spiral conveyor plate 9. This generates shear force and convection on the rotating asphalt, ensuring that the asphalt and ingredients are more thoroughly mixed in the inner cavity of the reactor body 1. At the same time, the cooperation between the stirring rod 6 and the spiral agitator 9 creates a complementary mixing effect, making the mixing process more efficient.

[0024] A feed pipe 10 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the end cap 2, and a scraper 11 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the stirring rod 6.

[0025] The scraper 11 is used to clean the bottom inner wall of the vessel body 1, which can be used in conjunction with the spiral conveyor plate 9 to clean and discharge the asphalt at the bottom of the vessel body 1, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the bottom inner wall of the vessel body 1.

[0026] An L-tube 12 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the vessel body 1, a collection hopper 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the L-tube 12, and a discharge pipe 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the other side of the vessel body 1.

[0027] The L-pipe 12 and the collection hopper 13 facilitate the limiting and guidance of the asphalt, allowing it to enter the inner cavity of the reactor body 1 stably and preventing the filter asphalt from splashing into the surrounding environment during the transportation process.

[0028] A slot 15 is provided at the top of the discharge pipe 14, and a sealing plate 16 is movably installed inside the slot 15.

[0029] The slot 15 and sealing plate 16 facilitate the quick closure of the inner cavity of the reactor body 1, thereby ensuring temperature control of the inner cavity of the reactor body 1 during asphalt processing.

[0030] A base 17 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the vessel body 1, and a limiting plate 18 is fixedly installed at the top edge of the base 17. Several heating rods 19 are fixedly installed inside the limiting plate 18.

[0031] The base 17 and the limiting plate 18 facilitate the limiting of the reactor body 1, thereby ensuring the stability of the device during asphalt processing and increasing the safety of the device. The heating rod 19 facilitates the heating of the reactor body 1, thereby helping to accelerate the heating process of the mixture in the modified asphalt premix reactor.

[0032] A bearing 20 is provided on the top of the rotating shaft 8, and the bearing 20 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 5.

[0033] The bearing 20 provides stable support and limit for the rotating shaft 8, thereby ensuring the stability of the spiral conveyor plate 9 during rotation and ensuring that the asphalt can be effectively subjected to shear force and convection.

[0034] Several support legs 21 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the base 17, and positioning plates 22 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the support legs 21.

[0035] The support legs 21 and positioning plate 22 provide stable support for the base 17, preventing the device from shaking or shifting during use, thereby improving the overall stability of the device.

[0036] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When using this device, the asphalt is limited by the collection hopper 13, and the asphalt enters the inner cavity of the reactor body 1 through the L-pipe 12. The reactor body 1 is heated by the heating rod 19. The first motor 3 and the second motor 7 are started. The first motor 3 drives the assembly plate 5 to rotate through the drive rod 4. The assembly plate 5 drives the stirring rod 6 to stir the asphalt. The feed pipe 10 adds the ingredients, which enter the inner cavity of the reactor body 1 and come into contact with the asphalt. The stirring rod 6 mixes the asphalt with the ingredients. The second motor 7 drives the spiral conveyor plate 9 to rotate through the rotating shaft 8. The drive rod 4 and the rotating shaft 8 rotate in opposite directions. The spiral conveyor plate 9 generates a reverse rotational force on the asphalt, which causes a violent disturbance to the asphalt during rotation. At the same time, its spiral shape drives the asphalt at the bottom to flip upward, ensuring that the asphalt can come into contact with the ingredients. The mixed asphalt is released from the reactor body 1 through the discharge pipe 14. The spiral conveyor plate 9, in conjunction with the scraper 11, cleans the asphalt remaining on the inner wall of the bottom of the reactor body 1.
