Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of road construction, specifically to a multi-sampling tube gas sampling device for measuring carbon emissions from asphalt mixtures. Background Technology
[0002] Greenhouse gas emissions contribute to the greenhouse effect, causing global warming. Therefore, there is increasing emphasis on carbon emissions, with efforts aimed at minimizing them across various sectors. Asphalt mixtures are a common material in road construction, and they contribute to carbon emissions at every stage. These include raw material production (asphalt: petroleum refining generates significant CO2; aggregates: mining and processing aggregates consumes energy, indirectly generating carbon emissions), mixture production (heating: heating asphalt and aggregates to high temperatures consumes significant energy, primarily from fossil fuel combustion; mixing: mixing consumes electricity, indirectly generating carbon emissions), and construction (transportation: transporting the mixture to the construction site consumes fuel, generating CO2; paving and compaction: using machinery consumes fuel or electricity, indirectly generating carbon emissions). Furthermore, the amount of carbon emissions can vary at different times within each process. Existing testing equipment sometimes suffers from improper sampling procedures and requires considerable manual intervention. Utility Model Content
[0003] Purpose of this utility model: This application aims to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a multi-sampling tube gas sampling device for measuring carbon emissions from asphalt mixtures.
[0004] Technical Solution: A gas sampling device includes a control unit, a frame unit, a drive unit, and multiple sampling units. Each sampling unit includes a sampling tube, an inlet pipe connected to the sampling tube, a valve unit installed in the inlet pipe and controlled by the control unit, a piston section located inside the sampling tube, a first lead screw connected to the piston section, two guide rods connected to the piston section, a connecting plate connected to the two guide rods, and a driven wheel installed at the first lead screw. The driven wheel has a first threaded hole that mates with the first lead screw, and the connecting plate has a first through hole through which the first lead screw passes. The frame unit includes a first support plate, a second support plate, and a third support plate. Both the first and second support plates are passed through by all the sampling tubes and are connected to the first lead screw. All sampling tubes are fixedly connected; the third support plate has multiple guide holes through which guide rods pass and multiple second through holes through which first lead screws pass; multiple limiting brackets for limiting the passive wheel are fixedly connected to the third support plate; a slide rail and two end blocks are fixed to the top of the third support plate; a slide seat is installed on the slide rail; a first motor is installed on one of the two end blocks, and a bearing is installed on the other; a second lead screw is connected between the first motor and the bearing; the slide seat has a sliding groove that connects to the slide rail and a second threaded hole that mates with the second lead screw; a lifting seat is connected to the slide seat via an electric lifting rod; a second motor is installed on the lifting seat; and a driving wheel capable of abutting against the passive wheel is installed on the second motor.
[0005] Furthermore, the circumferential surface of the driving wheel has a plurality of first strip-shaped protrusions, and the circumferential surface of the driven wheel has a plurality of second strip-shaped protrusions.
[0006] This makes the engagement and driving of the driving and driven wheels more stable.
[0007] Furthermore, the first and second perforations do not contact the first lead screw.
[0008] Furthermore, the control unit is mounted at the rack unit.
[0009] Furthermore, the frame unit also includes a base plate and multiple support legs connected to the base plate, wherein the first support plate, the second support plate and the third support plate are all fixedly connected to the base plate.
[0010] Furthermore, the slide includes a first horizontal plate and a first vertical plate connected to the first horizontal plate, and the lifting seat includes a second horizontal plate and a second vertical plate connected to the second horizontal plate. The first vertical plate has a limiting groove, and the second vertical plate has a limiting rail that cooperates with the limiting groove. The second motor is installed on the second vertical plate.
[0011] Furthermore, each passive wheel corresponds to two limiting frames, each limiting frame including a limiting plate and two connecting blocks connecting the third support plate and the limiting plate.
[0012] Thus, the two limit frames, together with the third support plate, ensure that the passive wheel can only rotate and cannot move horizontally.
[0013] Furthermore, the passive wheel has an annular groove, and the limiting plate has an arc-shaped slider that cooperates with the annular groove.
[0014] Furthermore, the passive wheel abuts against the third support plate and is capable of rotating relative to the third support plate.
[0015] Therefore, the limit bracket can better limit the driven wheel and make the rotation of the driven wheel more stable.
[0016] In some embodiments, both sides of the passive wheel have annular grooves, and both the limiting plate and the third support plate have arc-shaped sliders that cooperate with the annular grooves.
[0017] This allows the passive wheel to achieve better positioning and more stable rotation.
[0018] Furthermore, the first motor, the second motor, the electric lifting rod, and multiple valve units are all controlled by the control unit.
[0019] Furthermore, the number of sampling tubes is greater than or equal to four, and they are arranged in a row with equal spacing.
[0020] Furthermore, the sampling tube includes an end plate and an annular cylindrical tube, the air inlet tube is connected to the end plate, and the outer circumferential surface of the annular cylindrical tube has a first groove and a second groove, the first groove having a first plane and the second groove having a second plane.
[0021] Therefore, when needed, carbon emissions can be measured using optical measuring devices by utilizing the first and second planes.
[0022] Beneficial effects: The sampling device of this application can use multiple sampling tubes to achieve sampling, thereby providing richer sampling results.
[0023] The sampling device of this application can achieve automated sampling and sequential sampling. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The frame unit further includes a base plate 1 and multiple support legs 1.4 connected to the base plate. A first support plate 1.1, a second support plate 1.2, and a third support plate 1.3 are all fixedly connected to the base plate 1.

[0033] The sampling device of this application includes a drive unit that, driven by a first motor, drives the active wheel to translate, while the electric lifting rod enables the active and passive wheels to engage and disengage. This allows the drive mechanism to individually drive the passive wheels at each sampling tube, thereby rotating the first lead screw and driving the piston to translate (at which point the valve unit opens), increasing the internal space of the sampling tube and facilitating sampling. Furthermore, the drive unit can experimentally sample multiple sampling tubes sequentially, for example, by setting multiple time periods and using one sampling tube for each time period. This allows for the collection of samples from different time periods, facilitating subsequent carbon emission measurement using the gas from the sampling tubes. The gas from the sampling tubes can be discharged into a measuring device for carbon emission determination.
