Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of asphalt tanks, and in particular to an anti-solidification circulating agitator for asphalt tanks. Background Technology

[0002] Asphalt tanks are specialized equipment used for storing, transporting, and heating asphalt. They are widely used in road construction, repair, and paving projects. Asphalt, as an important building and engineering material, usually needs to maintain its fluidity at high temperatures to ensure its workability. However, asphalt becomes viscous or even solidifies at low temperatures, affecting its transportation and use. Therefore, the design and technical requirements of asphalt tanks must ensure that they can effectively maintain the high-temperature state of asphalt and guarantee its quality and fluidity during transportation, storage, and construction.

[0003] Existing technologies, such as the utility model patent with publication number CN210797178U, disclose an asphalt tank. This patent includes an outer tank and an inner tank disposed within the outer tank, with an insulating interlayer formed between the outer and inner tanks. An oil inlet pipe, spirally coiled around the upper half of the circumferential outer wall of the inner tank, and an oil outlet pipe, also spirally coiled around the lower half of the circumferential outer wall of the inner tank, are disposed within the insulating interlayer. A hot oil pipe is disposed within the inner tank, with one end extending upwards through the inner tank and connecting to the oil outlet of the oil inlet pipe, and the other end extending downwards through the inner tank and connecting to the oil inlet of the oil outlet pipe. This utility model achieves the purpose of insulating the asphalt by heating the asphalt on the inner tank wall through the oil inlet and outlet pipes and by heating the asphalt inside the inner tank through the heating pipe.

[0004] In daily use, it has been found that after the asphalt in the asphalt tank is mixed with a mixer, the temperature of the asphalt inside the tank will gradually decrease during long-term storage because there are no effective heat insulation measures on the outside of the asphalt tank. This temperature drop can easily cause the asphalt to solidify or clump, affecting its fluidity and performance.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new anti-solidification circulating agitator for asphalt tanks to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies where, after stirring the asphalt in an asphalt tank with a mixer, the temperature of the asphalt inside the tank gradually decreases over a long period of time due to the lack of effective insulation measures on the outside of the asphalt tank.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0033] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0036] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7The auxiliary structure 7 includes two fixed frames 71, which are fixedly connected to the thermometer 607. Insert plates 72 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the fixed frames 71. A single transparent protective plate 73 is fixedly connected to one side of each insert plate 72.

The bellows 78 can protect the spring 76 and prevent foreign objects from getting stuck in the spring 76.

[0037] The working principle of the anti-solidification circulating agitator for asphalt tanks provided by this utility model is as follows: By setting the adjustment structure 6, the insulation cotton 604 is moved first, driving the connecting plate 603 to move, so that the connecting plate 603 drives the positioning rod 602 to insert into the interior of the adjustment plate 601. Since the insulation cotton 604 is lightweight, it can be moved by personnel. When the insulation cotton 604 moves, it will drive the heat-conducting plate 605 to move until the insulation cotton 604 and the heat-conducting plate 605 are in contact with the asphalt tank body 2. Then, the positioning plate 612 is rotated with the help of the auxiliary hole 617, so that the positioning plate 612 drives the screw 611 to rotate inside the auxiliary seat 610 until the positioning plate 612 drives the fixing rod 613 to insert into the fixing hole 609 of the limiting block 608. Then, the connecting plate 614 is rotated with the help of the anti-slip texture 615. The rod 611 moves, fixing the connecting plate 614 to the auxiliary seat 610. At this time, the insulation cotton 604 is fixed. The temperature of the heat-conducting plate 605 is transmitted to the temperature gauge 607 through the connecting rod 606. The operator observes the temperature of the asphalt through the temperature gauge 607. Then, the agitator body 5 on the fixed plate 4 is started to rotate, so that the agitator body 5 rotates inside the asphalt tank body 2 on the support rod 1 to agitate the asphalt inside. After the asphalt is agitated, it is discharged through the discharge pipe 3. The soft pad 616 can prevent the connecting plate 614 from directly contacting the auxiliary seat 610, preventing the auxiliary seat 610 from being worn. The anti-slip texture 615 can increase the friction of the connecting plate 614, preventing the operator's hands from slipping when rotating the connecting plate 614.

[0038] By setting the auxiliary structure 7, the pull block 75 is first moved to drive the auxiliary rod 74 to move inside the fixed frame 71. When the pull block 75 moves, it will drive the spring 76 to stretch. Then, the transparent protective plate 73 is moved to drive the insert plate 72 to insert into the fixed frame 71. At this time, the pull block 75 is released. Then, the spring 76 will drive the pull block 75 to move. When the pull block 75 moves, it will drive the auxiliary rod 74 to move, so that the auxiliary rod 74 moves inside the fixed frame 71 and inserts into the insert plate 72. At this time, the fixing of the transparent protective plate 73 is completed. The connecting rod 77 can position the transparent protective plate 73, so that the transparent protective plate 73 is fixed more stably. The corrugated pipe 78 can protect the spring 76 and prevent the spring 76 from getting stuck with foreign objects.

[0039] The circuits and controls involved in this utility model are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0040] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
