Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of asphalt tank technology, and in particular to an asphalt tank with an asphalt storage metering structure. Background Technology

[0002] Asphalt tanks are specialized equipment used for storing, heating, and transporting asphalt materials, and are widely used in road construction, bridge construction, and related municipal engineering projects. Because asphalt is highly viscous, semi-solid, or solid at room temperature and does not flow easily, asphalt tanks are typically equipped with heating systems, such as heat transfer oil heating, electric heating, or burner heating, to maintain the asphalt in a pumpable liquid state. Furthermore, asphalt tanks have excellent insulation properties, effectively reducing heat loss and improving operational efficiency.

[0003] In existing road construction and municipal engineering projects, asphalt tanks are mainly used for storing and insulating asphalt to meet the needs of mixture production and construction pouring. Currently, existing asphalt tanks lack internal level detection mechanisms for real-time monitoring of asphalt volume. The remaining asphalt level is often determined solely by manual observation or experience-based estimation, making it impossible to monitor and provide early warnings of the asphalt volume in real time. Furthermore, the asphalt stored in the tanks cannot be weighed for testing. Problems such as inaccurate measurements, information delays, and safety hazards are prevalent during use, significantly limiting the application of existing asphalt tanks.

[0004] Based on this, we propose an asphalt tank with an asphalt storage metering structure to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of the present invention, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents, and such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.

[0006] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an asphalt tank with an asphalt storage metering structure. This invention can solve the problems of existing asphalt tanks being unable to monitor asphalt capacity in real time and unable to perform weighing detection, which leads to inaccurate measurement, information lag and safety hazards.

[0007] To solve the above technical problems, this utility model provides an asphalt tank with an asphalt storage metering structure, which adopts the following technical solution: it includes a placement base, an asphalt storage component is installed on the top of the placement base, the asphalt storage component includes an anti-collision outer tank, an inner storage tank is provided on the top of the anti-collision outer tank, the placement base includes a support base, and a weighing device is connected to the top of the support base;

[0008] The top of the storage tank is equipped with a material extraction port. A first warning light is connected to the top side of the storage tank near the material extraction port. A second warning light is provided on the top side of the storage tank away from the first warning light. Several sets of first sliding grooves are arranged in a circular array on the outer side of the storage tank.

[0009] Optionally, the storage tank has a storage cavity inside, and a second groove is provided on one side of the inner wall of the storage cavity. A guide rod is connected to the side of the storage cavity near the second groove, and a liquid level detection component is provided in the middle of the guide rod.

[0010] Optionally, a first contact switch is installed on the top of one side of the storage cavity, and the first contact switch is electrically connected to the first warning light. A second contact switch is provided on the bottom of one side of the storage cavity, and the second contact switch is electrically connected to the second warning light.

[0011] Optionally, the bottom of the anti-collision outer tank is provided with a circular groove that matches the structure of the weighing device. The inner wall of the anti-collision outer tank is also provided with several sets of guide strips arranged in a circular array. The guide strips match the structure of the first slide groove, and the guide strips and the first slide groove are in sliding fit.

[0012] Optionally, the liquid level detection component includes a connecting box, a guide sliding hole is provided through the middle of the connecting box, a floating ball is connected to one side of the connecting box, and a guide block is installed on the side of the connecting box away from the floating ball.

[0013] Optionally, the guide hole and the guide rod are in a sliding fit, and the guide block and the second groove are in a sliding fit.

[0014] In summary, this utility model has at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The asphalt tank designed in this scheme, through the structure of setting up a liquid level detection component in conjunction with a warning light, can accurately monitor changes in the volume of the asphalt solution. When a large amount of asphalt solution is extracted, the liquid level drops, causing the floating ball to contact the second contact switch, which can trigger the second warning light to emit a low-volume warning light. Conversely, when a large amount of asphalt solution is injected, the liquid level rises, causing the floating ball to contact the first contact switch, which can trigger the first warning light to emit a high-volume warning light. This enables real-time monitoring and early warning of the asphalt solution volume, effectively avoiding risks such as construction interruptions and equipment damage caused by insufficient capacity or overload. It ensures the continuity and safety of the construction process, while also reducing the waste of manpower and resources caused by misjudgment of capacity, and improving overall construction efficiency and resource utilization.

[0016] 2. The asphalt tank designed in this scheme, by installing a weighing device on top of the support base and opening a circular groove at the bottom of the anti-collision outer tank that matches the structure of the weighing device, can limit the placement of the anti-collision outer tank on the support base. The weighing device is connected to the bottom support of the inner storage tank, enabling real-time weighing and detection of the inner storage tank and the asphalt solution inside. The weighing device, used in conjunction with the liquid level detection component, further improves the accuracy of asphalt solution capacity monitoring, achieving dual monitoring of asphalt solution capacity. The liquid level detection component allows for direct observation of liquid level changes, while the weighing device provides precise weight data, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of asphalt solution capacity information. This enhances the flexibility and practicality of the equipment in the field of asphalt tank technology, meeting the high-precision requirements for asphalt storage monitoring in different construction scenarios.

[0026] 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.

[0027] Example: Refer to Figures 1 to 7 This utility model provides an embodiment of an asphalt tank with an asphalt storage metering structure, comprising a placement base 1, an asphalt storage component 2 mounted on the top of the placement base 1, an outer anti-collision tank 3, an inner storage tank 4 mounted on the top of the outer anti-collision tank 3, a support base 5 on the placement base 1, a weighing device 6 connected to the top of the support base 5, an extraction port 7 mounted on the top of the inner storage tank 4, first warning lights 8 connected to the top side of the inner storage tank 4 near the extraction port 7, second warning lights 9 mounted on the top side of the inner storage tank 4 away from the first warning lights 8, and several sets of circumferentially arrayed first grooves 10 arranged on the outer side of the inner storage tank 4. By using the weighing device 6 in conjunction with the liquid level detection component 14, the volume of the asphalt solution can be monitored in real time, and an early warning can be given if the volume of the asphalt solution stored inside is too low or too high. The storage tank 4 has a storage cavity 11 inside, and a second slide groove 12 is provided on one side of the inner wall of the storage cavity 11. A guide slide rod 13 is connected to the side of the storage cavity 11 near the second slide groove 12. The liquid level detection component 14 is provided in the middle of the guide slide rod 13. By using the second slide groove 12 and the guide slide rod 13 on the inner wall of the storage cavity 11, the liquid level detection component 14 can be connected inside the storage cavity 11, and the liquid level detection component 14 can also be guided and limited if it floats or sinks.

[0028] A first contact switch 15 is installed on the top side of one side of the storage cavity 11, and is electrically connected to the first warning light 8. A second contact switch 16 is installed on the bottom side of one side of the storage cavity 11, and is electrically connected to the second warning light 9. By installing the first contact switch 15, which is electrically connected to the first warning light 8, on the top side of one side of the storage cavity 11, and the second contact switch 16, which is electrically connected to the second warning light 9, on the bottom side of one side of the storage cavity 11, the rising and falling motion of the floating ball 21 can trigger the corresponding contact switches, thereby controlling the on / off state of the warning lights. When the asphalt solution level rises to the position of the first contact switch 15, the first warning light 8 is triggered to issue a warning of overcapacity. When the level drops to the position of the second contact switch 16, the second warning light 9 is triggered to issue a warning of undercapacity. Real-time monitoring and precise early warning of the asphalt solution capacity in the asphalt tank effectively avoid risks such as construction interruption and equipment damage caused by insufficient asphalt capacity or overload. The bottom of the anti-collision outer tank 3 is provided with a circular groove 17, which matches the structure of the weighing device 6. The inner wall of the anti-collision outer tank 3 is also provided with several sets of circumferentially distributed guide strips 18, which match the structure of the first slide groove 10. The guide strips 18 and the first slide groove 10 are in sliding fit. Through the structural design of the sliding fit between the guide strips 18 and the first slide groove 10, the storage inner tank 4, which is installed inside the anti-collision outer tank 3, can be guided and limited around the perimeter. This can reduce the offset and swing of the storage inner tank 4 during the weighing process, thereby improving the accuracy of the weighing device 6 in real-time weighing and detection of the storage inner tank 4 and the asphalt solution inside.

[0029] The liquid level detection component 14 includes a connecting box 19, with a guide sliding hole 20 extending through the middle of the connecting box 19. A floating ball 21 is connected to one side of the connecting box 19, and a guide block 22 is installed on the side of the connecting box 19 away from the floating ball 21. By designing the liquid level detection component 14 to include the connecting box 19, with a guide sliding hole 20 extending through its middle, a floating ball 21 connected to one side, and a guide block 22 installed on the other side, the characteristic of the floating ball 21 rising and falling with the asphalt liquid level can be utilized to make the entire liquid level detection component 14 slide stably along the guide slide rod 13 and the second slide groove 12, thereby achieving accurate tracking of changes in the asphalt liquid level. With monitoring, timely and accurate acquisition of liquid level information can be ensured, providing a reliable basis for asphalt storage measurement and early warning. The guide slide hole 20 and the guide slide rod 13 are in sliding fit, and the guide block 22 and the second slide groove 12 are in sliding fit. Through the structural design of the sliding fit between the guide slide hole 20 and the guide slide rod 13, and the sliding fit between the guide block 22 and the second slide groove 12, the connecting box 19 and the floating ball 21 of the storage cavity 11 can play a sliding guiding role, so that the floating ball 21 of the lifting and floating can make accurate contact with the first contact switch 15 or the second contact switch 16.

[0030] Working Principle: The asphalt tank designed in this scheme mainly consists of a placement base 1 and an asphalt storage component 2. The asphalt storage component 2 includes an outer anti-collision tank 3 and an inner storage tank 4. The inner storage tank 4 works in conjunction with a first warning light 8, a second warning light 9, a storage cavity 11, and a liquid level detection component 14. When the asphalt solution is injected or extracted, the connecting box 19, through a floating ball 21 installed on one side, can rise and fall within the storage cavity 11 according to the volume of the asphalt solution. Because the guide sliding hole 20 and the guide sliding rod 13 are in sliding fit, and the guide block 22 and the second sliding groove 12 are in sliding fit, the connecting box 19 and the floating ball 21 can move and float within the storage cavity 11. The float 21 acts as a sliding guide. When a large amount of asphalt solution is extracted from the inner storage tank 4, the float 21 descends and contacts the second contact switch 16 installed at the bottom of one side of the storage cavity 11. Since the second contact switch 16 is electrically connected to the second warning light 9, it can trigger the second warning light 9 to emit a warning light indicating that the asphalt solution capacity is too low. When a large amount of asphalt solution is injected into the inner storage tank 4, the float 21 rises and contacts the first contact switch 15 installed at the top of one side of the storage cavity 11. Since the first contact switch 15 is electrically connected to the first warning light 8, it can trigger the first warning light 8 to emit a warning light indicating that the asphalt solution capacity is too high.

[0031] The asphalt tank designed in this scheme uses a weighing device 6 installed on the top of the support base 5 and a circular groove 17 that runs through the bottom of the anti-collision outer tank 3. Because the circular groove 17 matches the structure of the weighing device 6, the anti-collision outer tank 3, which contains the storage inner tank 4, can be placed on the top of the support base 5. The top of the weighing device 6 and the bottom of the storage inner tank 4 are connected by a support, which can play a role in real-time weighing and detection of the storage inner tank 4 and the asphalt solution stored inside.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
