AI Technical Summary
In existing asphalt mixture production, material stratification leads to low mixing efficiency, especially in fine aggregate or fiber-reinforced asphalt mixtures, where gravity settling and segregation are prominent problems. Existing equipment requires extended mixing time to compensate for stratification defects, resulting in reduced production efficiency and deterioration of material properties.
The system employs a zoned mixing device, which divides the mixing tank into independent spaces by setting baffles. The mixing rods and feeding pipes are used to achieve synchronous mixing of materials in different zones. Combined with the exhaust assembly, the system discharges gas, preventing material stratification and improving uniformity and efficiency.
By using zoned mixing, mixing time is shortened, material uniformity is improved, mixing power consumption is reduced, stratification and segregation are avoided, and production efficiency and material performance are enhanced.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to pitch processing sets, especially a pitch stirring device. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the production of asphalt mixture, the uniform mixing of aggregate, powder and pitch is the core link to determine the performance of pavement. The traditional stirring process usually puts each component into a single stirring tank in sequence, and then performs overall stirring. However, due to the significant difference in density and viscosity between aggregate and pitch, the unzoned stirring process is easy to cause material stratification - pitch is easy to gather at the bottom of the tank or adhere to the surface of aggregate, forming the phenomenon of local uneven cementation. Especially in fine aggregate or fiber reinforced asphalt mixture, gravity settling and segregation problem is more prominent. The existing device needs to prolong the stirring time to make up for the stratification defect, which not only reduces the production efficiency, but also may cause material performance degradation due to excessive stirring. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a pitch stirring device that can realize zoned synchronous stirring, shorten the mixing time and improve uniformity. SUMMARY
[0003] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a pitch stirring device, which solves the problem of material stratification caused by sequential feeding of materials in the prior art, which affects the stirring efficiency.

[0005] The technical principle of the utility model is that when the material is fed into the stirring tank, the stirring rod rotates at the same time, and the material is fed into the independent space divided in the tank body, and the material is stirred in a smaller space to improve the efficiency.
[0006] As preferred, the first valve includes a through hole located at the position of the baffle close to the side wall of the stirring tank, a valve plate for plugging the through hole is slidably arranged inside the baffle, and one end of the valve plate extends horizontally to the outside of the stirring tank;The second valve and the third valve are knife gate valves.
[0007] Preferably, a support beam is fixedly provided at the bottom of the mixing tank; the support beam has a grid-shaped structure.
[0008] Preferably, the stirring rod includes a main shaft and several crossbars arranged coaxially. The top end of the main shaft is fixedly connected to the motor output shaft. The crossbars are equidistantly distributed along the axial direction of the main shaft and arranged radially. The bottommost crossbar in each independent space is close to the upper surface of the corresponding partition.
[0009] Preferably, the exhaust assembly includes an exhaust pipe and an air pump. The exhaust pipe is vertically arranged and fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mixing tank. The top of the exhaust pipe extends to the outside of the mixing tank and communicates with the air pump. The exhaust pipe is provided with an exhaust hole at the top of each independent space.

[0013] Compared to existing technologies, this invention offers the following advantages: In existing technologies, different materials are sequentially added to the mixing tank, resulting in different positions within the tank. To ensure thorough mixing, the top and bottom layers of material need to move a considerable distance, increasing mixing time and energy consumption. This invention, with its partition, reduces the mixing space, allowing different materials to enter a smaller area. This smaller space restricts material flow, reducing power consumption during mixing and minimizing stratification caused by gravity differences in aggregates. This is particularly effective for fine aggregates or fiber-reinforced asphalt mixtures. Furthermore, the feed pipe surrounding the mixing tank can simultaneously fill different materials, resulting in higher mixing efficiency and preventing material stratification.
