[0018] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model is a detachable asphalt development tank, including a development tank body 1 with openings at the top and bottom. The lower part of the development tank body 1 is movably inserted into the inner cavity of a base 12. A support ring 13 is provided in the inner cavity of the base 12, and an annular sealing groove 14 is provided on the support ring 13. The bottom of the development tank body 1 is inserted into the annular sealing groove 14. A top cover 18 is connected to the top of the development tank body 1. A stirring mechanism is installed below the top cover 18. A connecting ring 22 is provided at the bottom of the top cover 18. The connecting ring 22 is snapped into the top opening of the development tank body 1 and fixed by a fastening bolt 23. Threaded holes are provided on the side wall of the development tank body 1 corresponding to the connecting ring 22. A connecting block 24 is provided on the top of the top cover 18. The top of the connecting block 24 is connected to a lifting plate 26 through a pull rod 25. The end of the lifting plate 26 is connected to a linear drive mechanism through a transmission plate 27.

[0019] The support ring 13 supports the development tank body 1. Specifically, a rubber sealing gasket is installed in the annular sealing groove 14, which is inserted into the bottom of the development tank body 1 to enhance the sealing of the connection and prevent asphalt leakage. The connecting ring 22 is snapped into the top opening of the development tank body 1 and fixed by the fastening bolt 23, which ensures the stability of the connection between the top cover 18 and the body 1, and can be separated by removing the fastening bolt 23. The top cover 18 is connected to the lifting plate 26 through the connecting block 24 and the pull rod 25, and then cooperates with the linear drive mechanism through the transmission plate 27 to realize the lifting and lowering of the top cover 18 and the development tank body 1. Corresponding beneficial effects: the insertion and cooperation between the development tank body 1 and the base 12, the snapping and bolt fixing with the top cover 18 realize the detachable connection, which solves the problem of complicated disassembly of traditional equipment; the cooperation between the sealing groove and the bottom solves the leakage problem; the linear drive mechanism can drive the top cover and the body to lift and lower, which is convenient for subsequent separation from the base, easy to operate, and conducive to cleaning and maintenance.

[0020] In the above scheme, a feeding port 11 is provided on the side of the development tank body 1, and an openable plug is provided inside the feeding port 11. The feeding port 11 is used to feed asphalt raw materials and additives into the development tank body 1. The plug is closed after feeding is completed to prevent material from splashing out or external impurities from entering during the development process. Through the cooperation of the feeding port 11 and the plug, convenient feeding is achieved, while avoiding material leakage and pollution, solving the problems of inconvenient feeding or poor sealing in traditional equipment.

[0021] In the above scheme, an inclined guide plate 15 is provided inside the base 12, and a discharge pipe 16 is provided at the side opening of the base 12, with a valve installed on the discharge pipe 16. The developed asphalt material can flow from the bottom of the development tank body 1 into the base 12. The inclined guide plate 15 guides the material to converge towards the discharge pipe 16, and the valve controls the start and stop of the discharge. Through the inclined structure of the guide plate 15 and its cooperation with the discharge pipe 16, complete material discharge is achieved, solving the problem of excessive material residue in traditional equipment. The valve allows for flexible control of the discharge process, improving operational convenience.

[0022] In the above scheme, a spiral temperature control tube 17 is wound around the outer side of the development tank body 1, and the end of the spiral temperature control tube 17 is connected to the insulation medium container. Hot water, hot oil, or other insulation media can be introduced into the spiral temperature control tube 17. Through heat exchange with the outer wall of the development tank body 1, the temperature of the asphalt inside the tank is regulated. The spiral winding design ensures uniform heating of the tank. Through the cooperation of the spiral temperature control tube 17 and the insulation medium container, precise control of the asphalt development temperature is achieved, solving the problems of uneven temperature control and impact on asphalt quality caused by traditional equipment.

[0023] In the above scheme, the stirring mechanism includes a rotating shaft 2, with multiple stirring paddles 21 mounted on its side. A drive motor is connected to the top of the rotating shaft 2, and the drive motor is installed in a drive box 19 below the top cover 18. When the drive motor is working, it drives the rotating shaft 2 to rotate, thereby causing the stirring paddles 21 to rotate and stir the asphalt material in the development tank body 1. The drive box 19 is used to protect the drive motor. Through the cooperation of the drive motor, the rotating shaft 2, and the stirring paddles 21, continuous stirring of the material is achieved, solving the problems of uneven material mixing and poor development effect in traditional equipment.

[0024] In the above scheme, the linear drive mechanism includes a lead screw 28 and a guide rod 29 arranged parallel to the development tank body 1, and the two are correspondingly connected to the threaded hole and guide hole opened on the transmission plate 27. The top end of the lead screw 28 is connected to a linear drive motor 31. When the linear drive motor 31 drives the lead screw 28 to rotate, the transmission plate 27 moves vertically under the thread action of the lead screw 28 and the guiding action of the guide rod 29, thereby driving the lifting plate 26 to rise and fall. Through the cooperation of the linear drive motor 31, the lead screw 28, the guide rod 29 and the transmission plate 27, the stable lifting and lowering of the top cover 18 and the development tank body 1 is realized, solving the problems of high labor intensity and low efficiency of manual lifting and lowering of the top cover in traditional equipment.

[0025] In the above scheme, the linear drive motor 31 is mounted on the frame 3 and is connected to the power supply and switch via wires. The end of the guide rod 29 is fixed inside the frame 3, which provides stable support for the linear drive motor 31, ensuring its structural stability during operation. The power supply provides power to the motor, and the switch controls the motor's start and stop. The support provided by the frame 3 ensures the stability of the linear drive mechanism and solves the problem of operational deviation caused by unstable fixing of the drive components. Switch control improves the safety and convenience of operation.

[0026] Working principle:

[0027] This detachable asphalt development tank allows for easy loading and unloading. The asphalt raw materials and necessary additives are fed into the tank through the inlet 11 by opening the cap on the side of the tank body 1. After loading, the cap is closed. The drive motor in the drive box 19 below the top cover 18 is then activated. The drive motor rotates the shaft 2, and the stirring paddle 21 on the side of the shaft 2 rotates accordingly, continuously stirring the materials inside the tank to ensure uniform mixing. Simultaneously, a heat-insulating medium (such as hot water or hot oil) is introduced to the outside of the tank body 1 through the spiral temperature control pipe 17. The spirally wound temperature control pipe exchanges heat with the tank body to maintain the temperature required for asphalt development. Once asphalt development is complete, the valve on the discharge pipe 16 on the side of the base 12 is opened. The materials inside the tank flow into the base 12 under gravity, are guided by the inclined guide plate 15, and collect in the discharge pipe 16, finally being discharged from the discharge pipe 16. If cleaning or maintenance of the equipment is required, start the linear drive motor 31 on the frame 3. The linear drive motor 31 drives the lead screw 28 to rotate. The transmission plate 27 moves upward under the action of the lead screw 28 and the guide rod 29. Through the lifting plate 26, the pull rod 25, and the connecting block 24, the top cover 18 and the development tank body 1 rise synchronously, so that the bottom of the development tank body 1 separates from the annular sealing groove 14 of the base 12, realizing the disassembly of the body 1 and the base 12. If it is necessary to further separate the body 1 and the top cover 18, rotate the fastening bolt 23 to make it come out of the threaded hole of the connecting ring 22 and the body 1, so as to release the fixation and separate the body 1 from the top cover 18. Clean or maintain each component separately. After maintenance is completed, reassemble in reverse order.
