Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of asphalt testing technology, and more specifically, to a processing device for asphalt chemical testing samples. Background Technology
[0002] During transportation or storage, asphalt may be mixed with impurities such as sand and fibers. These particles can significantly affect viscosity test results. For example, unfiltered asphalt samples may cause rotor jamming or data fluctuations in a rotational viscometer, with errors reaching 10% to 15% (refer to ASTM D4402-23). Filtration can ensure sample homogeneity, which is especially critical for modified asphalt (such as SBS modified asphalt) because its polymer components are prone to forming gel clumps.
[0003] The common practice in the laboratory is to use a 0.6 mm (30 mesh) metal sieve for filtration. This specification balances the impurity removal rate with the retention rate of effective asphalt components. If the particulate matter content in the sample exceeds 0.1% (by mass), filtration is necessary; otherwise, it may violate the requirements of the "Test Procedures for Asphalt and Asphalt Mixtures in Highway Engineering" (JTG E20-2011).
[0004] Currently, most asphalt chemical testing sample filtration methods employ constant-temperature filtration devices. These devices heat the asphalt to a fluid state and then filter it through a metal screen within the device. However, existing constant-temperature filtration devices have the following problems: when the fluid asphalt falls onto the metal screen, it generally clumps together, requiring inertia for sieving. This results in a longer filtration time, affecting the filtration speed and reducing the processing efficiency of asphalt chemical testing samples. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a processing device for asphalt chemical testing samples, which can uniformly distribute asphalt on a metal screen, thereby accelerating the filtration speed of asphalt and improving the processing effect of asphalt.

[0016] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the relevant utility model and not intended to limit the scope of the utility model. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0017] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0018] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides the following technical solution: Specifically, it refers to a processing device for asphalt chemical testing samples, including a constant temperature shell 1, a top cover 2 covering the top of the constant temperature shell 1, a conical bottom of the constant temperature shell 1, a discharge pipe 3 communicating with the interior of the constant temperature shell 1, and a valve on the discharge pipe 3, a feed pipe penetrating the lower surface of the top cover 2, and a valve on the feed pipe, a ring 5 inside the constant temperature shell 1, the outer surface of the ring 5 fitting against the inner wall of the constant temperature shell 1 and sliding along the inner wall of the constant temperature shell 1, and a metal screen 6 on the inner ring of the ring 5.
[0019] During use, the heated asphalt is fed into the constant temperature shell 1 through the feed pipe on the top cover 2. The heated asphalt falls onto the metal screen 6 due to inertia. Since the heated asphalt is in a flowing state, it can drip down along the mesh of the metal screen 6. At the same time, impurities such as sand and fiber mixed in the asphalt are blocked by the metal screen 6, thus achieving the purpose of filtering the asphalt and minimizing the impact of these particles on the asphalt viscosity test results.
[0020] In practical applications, when filtering ordinary asphalt, a 0.6mm sieve (compliant with ASTM standards) is used. For high-viscosity modified asphalt, the filtration width can be increased to 1.18mm (16 mesh) to prevent excessive shearing from damaging the polymer structure.
[0021] Meanwhile, after filtration, the asphalt needs to be left to stand for 2 minutes to defoam, so as to avoid bubbles interfering with the viscometer reading.
[0022] The outer surfaces of the constant temperature housing 1 and the top cover 2 are provided with heat insulation material. The inner wall of the constant temperature housing 1 is provided with a heating element 4 and a temperature sensor. The constant temperature housing 1 is provided with a controller, which is electrically connected to the temperature sensor and the heating element 4. The controller sets the operating temperature inside the constant temperature housing 1. The temperature sensor detects the temperature change inside the constant temperature housing 1 in real time. When the temperature drops, the controller controls the heating element 4 to start. The heating element 4 generates heat to raise the temperature of the constant temperature housing 1 to the set temperature, thus avoiding the asphalt from solidifying during the filtration process and affecting the asphalt filtration effect.
[0023] An annular base 7 is located directly below the ring 5 on the inner wall of the thermostatic housing 1. An annular groove 9 is formed on the upper surface of the annular base 7. An annular slider 8 is provided on the lower surface of the ring 5. The lower side of the annular slider 8 extends into the annular groove 9 and slides along the inner wall of the annular groove 9. A toothed ring 11 is provided on the lower surface of the ring 5. The toothed ring 11 is located outside the annular slider 8. A gear 14 is meshed on the lower side of the toothed ring 11. A drive shaft 13 is provided on the right side surface of the gear 14. A motor 12 is provided on the outer surface of the thermostatic housing 1. One end of the output shaft of the motor 12 rotates through the thermostatic housing 1 and is connected to the drive shaft 13. A toggle assembly that can move asphalt is provided on the metal screen 6.
[0024] When in use, the motor 12 starts, and the output shaft of the motor 12 synchronously drives the transmission shaft 13 and the gear 14 to rotate, so that the gear 14 can mesh with the transmission gear ring 11, causing the ring 5 to slide circumferentially on the annular base 7.
[0025] The lower surface of the annular slider 8 is provided with multiple pulleys 10 that slide on the bottom wall of the annular groove 9. Therefore, the pulleys 10 can provide support for the annular slider 8, reduce the friction between the annular slider 8 and the annular groove 9, and minimize the problem of mechanical jamming caused by excessive friction in the annular groove 9.
[0026] The actuating assembly includes a mounting plate 15, which is located on the upper side of the metal screen 6 and connected to the inner wall of the constant temperature housing 1. A bottom groove 16 is formed on the lower surface of the mounting plate 15 near the metal screen 6. A movable rod 17 is disposed within the bottom groove 16, and multiple actuating plates 18 are sleeved on the movable rod 17. The lower side of each actuating plate 18 extends out of the bottom groove 16 and contacts the asphalt on the metal screen 6. A control cavity 19 is formed inside the mounting plate 15 near the annular ring 5. One end of the movable rod 17 near the control cavity 19 slides through the control cavity 19, and the movable rod 17 is located within the control cavity 19. A sleeve plate 20 is fitted on the outer surface of the ring 15. A spring 21 is movably fitted on the outer surface of the movable rod 17 between the sleeve plate 20 and the inner wall of the control cavity 19. A contact rod 22 is provided inside the control cavity 19. The lower end of the contact rod 22 slides through the lower surface of the mounting plate 15 and slides in contact with the upper surface of the ring 5. A rotating plate 23 is hinged between the upper end of the contact rod 22 and the end of the movable rod 17 located in the control cavity 19. A plurality of protrusions 24 arranged in a circumferential array are provided on the upper surface of the ring 5. The lower end of the contact rod 22 contacts the outer arc surface of the protrusions 24 and slides.
[0027] In use, when the ring 5 rotates, multiple protrusions 24 rotate synchronously with the ring 5. When the lower end of the contact rod 22 contacts the protrusion 24, the protrusion 24 will exert a pushing force on the contact rod 22, causing the contact rod 22 to move upward. At this time, the rotating plate 23 will exert a pushing force on the movable rod 17, causing the movable rod 17 to move to one side in the bottom groove 16. The spring 21 is stressed and contracts, and the actuating plate 18 moves synchronously. When the contact rod 22 is not in contact with the protrusion 24, the spring 21 releases the pushing force, and the spring 21 pulls the movable rod 17 to move closer to the control cavity 19. The actuating plate 18 moves synchronously, thereby controlling the back-and-forth movement of the actuating plate 18. Through the above structure, the asphalt on the metal screen 6 can be agitated during the asphalt process, so that the asphalt can be distributed on the metal screen 6, thereby accelerating the filtration speed of the asphalt and improving the asphalt treatment effect.
