Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of asphalt ductility testing technology, specifically to a device for testing the self-healing ability of polyurethane modified asphalt. Background Technology
[0002] During their service life, bridge pavement layers and asphalt pavements are prone to fatigue cracking under the combined effects of repeated traffic loads, sunlight, air, and water. These cracks not only affect driving comfort but also the durability and service life of the bridge. Fatigue cracks in asphalt pavements can shrink or even disappear after a period of inactivity as temperatures rise, demonstrating the self-healing properties of asphalt materials. Adding polyurethane to asphalt can form an elastic network structure, promoting the asphalt's self-healing ability and improving road durability and service life. Furthermore, polyurethane-modified asphalt has higher consistency, strength, low-temperature toughness, and resistance to permanent deformation, thus showing broad application prospects in sustainable pavement development.
[0003] Despite the numerous advantages of polyurethane-modified asphalt, its self-healing ability needs to be tested because the damage and healing mechanisms of asphalt are not yet fully understood. Existing testing methods for polyurethane-modified asphalt suffer from a problem: there is no dedicated testing device for its self-healing ability. Furthermore, during tensile testing, the asphalt may fracture, and fragments fall to the bottom of the ductility meter. Existing devices struggle to effectively clean up this debris, leading to contamination of the instrument's bottom and affecting subsequent use and testing accuracy. Therefore, this proposed device for testing the self-healing ability of polyurethane-modified asphalt is presented. Utility Model Content

[0018] 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.
[0019] Example 1: A constant temperature water tank 2 is provided on the top of the main body 1 of the device. A support plate 3 is welded inside the constant temperature water tank 2. A support slide rod 10 is fixed on each side of the inside of the constant temperature water tank 2. A slider 4 is welded on each side of the scraper 6. The two sliders 4 are slidably sleeved on the outside of the support slide rod 10. The bottom of the scraper 6 is in contact with the top of the support plate 3. A control rod 9 is welded to the top of the scraper 6. An installation groove 11 is fixed on one side of the top of the main body 1 of the device. A threaded rod 13 is installed inside the installation groove 11 through a bearing. A drive assembly 12 is sleeved on the outside of the threaded rod 13 through thread engagement. An asphalt clamp 15 is installed on the top of the support plate 3. A control host 14 is installed on one side of the main body 1 of the device.
[0020] Multiple limiting piles 16 are welded at equal intervals on one side of the top of the support plate 3, and there are two asphalt clamps 15. A limiting hole block 1501 is welded to one side of each of the two asphalt clamps 15, and the limiting hole block 1501 is installed with the limiting piles 16 for limiting.
[0021] A speed reducer 8 is installed on one side of the mounting slot 11, and the output end of the speed reducer 8 extends into the mounting slot 11 and is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod 13. A motor 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the speed reducer 8 by bolts, and the output end of the motor 7 extends into the speed reducer 8 and is fixedly connected to the output end of the speed reducer 8.
[0022] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, during use, asphalt is poured into the interior of two asphalt clamps 15 and then allowed to cool and solidify. After the asphalt has solidified, the limiting hole blocks 1501 fixed at one end of the two asphalt clamps 15 are respectively fixed to the bottom of the limiting pile 16 and the drive assembly 12. Then, by controlling the drive assembly 12 to move along the installation direction of the threaded rod 13, the asphalt clamped between the two asphalt clamps 15 is stretched, thereby observing the ductility of the asphalt. When the asphalt breaks during the stretching process, it will fall above the support plate 3. The operator can control the scraper 6 to slide along the installation direction of the support slide rod 10 by holding the control lever 9. The scraper 6 is attached to the bottom of the support plate 3. Therefore, the asphalt that has fallen on the support plate 3 can be scraped off by the sliding of the scraper 6. This makes it convenient for operators to deal with the asphalt adhering to the support plate 3, ensuring the cleanliness of the equipment during use and improving efficiency. The rotation of the output end of the motor 7 can drive the output end of the reducer 8 to rotate. The rotation of the output end of the reducer 8 can drive the threaded rod 13 to rotate. Since the drive assembly 12 and the threaded rod 13 are connected by threaded engagement, the rotation of the threaded rod 13 can drive the drive assembly 12 to slide along the installation direction of the threaded rod 13.
[0023] Example 2: A drain pipe 5 is installed on one side of the main body 1 of the device, and the drain pipe 5 is connected to the interior of the constant temperature water tank 2. The drive component 12 includes a threaded slide plate 1201, and the threaded slide plate 1201 and the threaded rod 13 are sleeved together by threaded engagement. A support rod 1206 is welded to one end of the threaded slide plate 1201, and the bottom end of the support rod 1206 extends into the interior of the constant temperature water tank 2. A movable plate 1202 is welded to one side of the support rod 1206. Multiple lead screws 1203 are connected at equal intervals inside the movable plate 1202 by threaded engagement. A limit baffle 1205 is welded to the bottom of the movable plate 1202, and an insertion rod 1204 is welded to the bottom of the limit baffle 1205.
[0024] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, since a drain pipe 5 is installed on one side of the main body 1 of the device, the water stored in the constant temperature water tank 2 can be discharged through the drain pipe 5. The constant temperature water tank 2 can ensure that the asphalt is not contaminated during the stretching process and improve the accuracy of the test results. By rotating the lead screw 1203, the insertion rod 1204 can be moved downward, so that the insertion rod 1204 is inserted into the limiting hole block 1501 opened on one side of an asphalt clamp 15. The limiting baffle 1205 can prevent the lead screw 1203 from falling out of the movable plate 1202.
[0025] Working principle: During use, ductility specimens of base asphalt and polyurethane-modified asphalt with different admixtures are cut with cracks of different depths using a clean cold scraper. The cutting depths are 5mm and complete fracture, respectively. The completely fractured asphalt specimens are rejoined in a mold. After heating, the two types of asphalt are poured into the interiors of two asphalt clamps 15, and then allowed to cool and solidify. After the asphalt has solidified, the limiting hole blocks 1501 fixed at one end of the two asphalt clamps 15 are fixed to the bottom of the limiting pile 16 and the driving component 12, respectively. During fixing, the limiting hole block 1501 fixed on one side of one asphalt clamp 15 is placed on the outside of the limiting pile 16. By rotating the screw 1203, the insertion rod 1204 can be moved downward, thereby inserting the insertion rod 1204 into the limiting hole block 1501 on one side of one asphalt clamp 15. The rotation of the output end of the motor 7 can drive the... The output end of the reducer 8 rotates, which in turn drives the threaded rod 13 to rotate. Since the drive assembly 12 and the threaded rod 13 are connected by a threaded engagement, the rotation of the threaded rod 13 drives the drive assembly 12 to slide along the installation direction of the threaded rod 13, thereby stretching the asphalt clamped between the two asphalt clamps 15 to observe the ductility of the asphalt and thus determine its healing ability. If the asphalt breaks during the stretching process, it will fall onto the support plate 3. The operator can control the scraper 6 to slide along the installation direction of the support slide rod 10 by holding the control lever 9. Since the bottom of the scraper 6 is in contact with the top of the support plate 3, the sliding of the scraper 6 can scrape off the asphalt that has fallen onto the support plate 3, making it convenient for the operator to treat the asphalt adhering to the support plate 3.
[0026] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
