Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of asphalt production technology, and in particular to a device for preparing and taking trace asphalt samples. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of my country's economy and the continuous increase in infrastructure construction, significant progress has been made in the construction of expressways and first-class highways, with asphalt pavement as a key component. Asphalt, a complex blackish-brown mixture composed of hydrocarbons of different molecular weights and their non-metallic derivatives, is a high-viscosity organic liquid, existing in a liquid or semi-solid state, with a black surface, and is soluble in carbon disulfide. Scientific testing and research on asphalt typically involve specific tests such as three major indicators, aging, infrared analysis, and modifier dosage. Before testing, asphalt sample preparation often requires simultaneous stirring and heating to achieve simultaneous heat preservation and processing.

[0003] Conventional asphalt mixing and heating devices are usually separate, making simultaneous mixing and heating impossible. This not only reduces ease of use but also affects the uniformity and quality of asphalt samples. Traditional mixing rods are mostly of fixed length, making it impossible to adjust the mixing position according to the real-time accumulation height of the asphalt mixture. When the asphalt material decreases in height due to melting or other reasons, the mixing blades remain confined to the initial fixed position, failing to cover the actual distribution area of ​​the material, resulting in uneven mixing and affecting the mixing effect. Furthermore, existing heating devices typically have uniformly fixed heating pipes. When used with a fixed-length mixing rod, if the material height decreases, the distance between some heating pipes and the material increases significantly, leading to a decrease in heat transfer efficiency. Simultaneously, fixed-position mixing cannot effectively disperse material from high-temperature areas to low-temperature areas, further exacerbating the problem of uneven heating. Based on the above situations, and considering the small amount of asphalt used in the experimental study, there is an urgent need for a device for preparing and taking small asphalt samples. Utility Model Content

[0023] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the inventor of this case, through long-term research and extensive practice, has come up with the technical solution of this utility model. The following will further explain the technical solution, its implementation process, and its principles.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 A device for preparing and taking trace amounts of asphalt samples includes a mixing tank 1, a heating rod 6, two stirring blades 7, a motor 5, and a lifting mechanism.

[0025] In this design, two stirring blades 7 are fitted onto the heating rod 6, and the two stirring blades 7 are evenly spaced and parallel to each other, extending into the mixing tank 1 along one end of the heating rod 6. The heating rod 6 can be an electrothermal heating rod, which can efficiently generate heat. The two stirring blades 7 and the heating rod 6 are thermally conductively integrated, and the whole can rotate around the axis of the heating rod 6 itself to achieve efficient mixing and heating.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 2 Each stirring blade 7 includes a central body and multiple stirring blades. The central body has a sleeve hole for mounting the heating rod 6. The multiple stirring blades are arranged on the central body at equal angular intervals along the circumference of the central body, ensuring the uniformity of stirring and thus improving the mixing efficiency.

[0027] In this design, the lifting mechanism includes a guide rod 2, a sliding block 3, and a moving block 4. The sliding block 3 is connected to the guide rod 2 and can slide along the length of the guide rod 2. The sliding block 3 and the moving block 4 are connected by a telescopic transmission rod 12. One end of the motor 5 is fixedly connected to the moving block 4, and the other end is fixedly connected to the heating rod 6. When the sliding block 3 slides along the length of the guide rod 2, it will drive the telescopic transmission rod 12, the moving block 4, and the motor 5 to move together, thereby controlling the heating rod 6 to extend into or out of the mixing tank 1. At the same time, the telescopic transmission rod 12 itself can also control the movement of the heating rod 6 within the mixing tank 1, achieving precise heating and stirring control. In actual operation, when the height of the asphalt material decreases due to melting, the heating rod 6 can be adjusted downwards by the telescopic transmission rod 12 to ensure that the heating rod 6 is always submerged in the material; if local accumulation of material occurs, the heating agitator can be rotated by the telescopic transmission rod 12 to change the cutting angle of the stirring blades 7, breaking up the accumulation layer and ensuring uniform stirring and heating.

[0028] In addition, a heating plate 14 is provided on the inner wall of the mixing tank 1 to provide more uniform heat. A handle 10 is provided on the outer wall of the mixing tank 1 for easy movement and operation by the operator. A discharge port is provided at the bottom of the mixing tank 1, connected to a discharge pipe 9. A flow valve 8 is provided on the discharge pipe 9 for accurately measuring the flow rate of liquid asphalt, which is particularly suitable for the detection of trace asphalt samples. The trace asphalt sample preparation device also includes a base 11 and a support frame 13 fixedly connected to the base. The support frame 13 is mainly used to support the mixing tank 1. A container for holding asphalt samples can be placed at the bottom of the mixing tank 1, greatly facilitating sampling operations.

[0029] The specific heating and stirring process is as follows:

[0030] Guided by the guide rod 2, the sliding block 3 moves upward along the preset track. During this process, with the help of the telescopic transmission rod 12 and the effective driving action of the moving block 4, the heating rod 6 and the stirring blade 7 are moved from the inside of the mixing tank 1 to the outside, creating the necessary space for the subsequent smooth pouring of asphalt and various admixtures into the mixing tank 1. Subsequently, the operator controls the sliding block 3 again via the guide rod 2 to move it downward in the opposite direction, thereby moving the previously moved heating rod 6 and stirring blade 7 back into the mixing tank 1, officially starting the asphalt preparation process. At this time, the motor 5 is started, and the motor 5 drives the stirring blade 7 to perform efficient stirring at a set speed and in a set manner, ensuring that the asphalt is mixed evenly. At the same time, the heating rod 6 and the heating plate 14 are simultaneously started to uniformly heat and keep the asphalt in the mixing tank 1, effectively preventing the liquid asphalt in the tank from aging due to temperature drop, thereby ensuring that the final asphalt sample maintains excellent quality characteristics. When liquid asphalt needs to be sampled for analysis, the operator opens the flow valve 8 and controls the flow rate through the valve located at the bottom of the discharge pipe 9, thereby enabling the liquid asphalt sample to be taken out quantitatively as needed, ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of the sampling process.

[0031] In summary, the micro-asphalt sample preparation and collection device proposed in this application is simple and rapid, enabling multiple sample preparations and precise quantitative sampling as needed, thus improving sampling efficiency and detection accuracy. Furthermore, the combination of the stirring blade 7, heating rod 6, and heating plate 14 allows for simultaneous stirring and heating, enhancing the uniformity and efficiency of mixing, ensuring sample homogeneity and representativeness, and providing reliable data support for asphalt quality assessment.

[0032] It should be understood that the above embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
