[0028] This disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0029] like Figure 1-4As shown, an asphalt storage tank includes a tank body 101 and support legs 102. The support legs 102 are located at the bottom of the tank body 101. The tank body 101 is provided with a feed inlet 103 and a discharge outlet 109. A partition 108 is provided inside the tank body 101, and a cover plate divides the tank body 101 into a storage chamber and a heating chamber. The feed inlet 103 is located on the side wall of the storage chamber, and the discharge outlet 109 is located on the side wall of the heating chamber. A gap is left between the bottom of the partition 108 and the inner wall of the tank body 101, and multiple heating plates 110 are provided in the gap. A heating block is provided inside the heating chamber.

[0030] Asphalt enters the tank 101 through the inlet 103 and is stored in the storage chamber. Some asphalt enters the heating chamber through the gap at the bottom of the partition 108. When asphalt is needed, the heating block and heating plate 110 heat the asphalt until it reaches a specified stable temperature, at which point the asphalt flows out from the outlet 109. After the asphalt in the heating chamber is discharged, the asphalt in the storage chamber flows into the heating chamber to replenish it. The asphalt enters the heating chamber after passing through the heating plate 110, which prevents the asphalt entering the heating chamber from affecting the temperature of the original asphalt in the heating chamber and ensures that the asphalt flows out normally from the outlet 109.

[0031] Furthermore, there is a gap between the heating plate 110 and the inner wall of the tank 101, and the gaps on two adjacent heating plates 110 are staggered; when the asphalt flows through these staggered gaps, it will form a tortuous flow path, which prolongs the contact time between the asphalt and the heating plate 110, thereby making the heating more uniform and efficient.

[0032] Furthermore, a stirring device is installed inside the tank 101, and an opening corresponding to the stirring device is provided at the top of the tank 101. The stirring device includes a motor 112 and a stirring rod 113, with the stirring rod 113 mounted on the output shaft of the motor 112 and positioned inside the heating chamber. This stirring device can further improve the heating effect and uniformity of the asphalt. Inside the heating chamber, the stirring rod 113 rotates under the drive of the motor 112, continuously stirring the asphalt within the heating chamber. On one hand, stirring can prevent localized overheating or undercooling of the asphalt, making the heating more uniform and ensuring stable asphalt quality. On the other hand, stirring can also promote the flow of asphalt and accelerate the replenishment of asphalt from the storage chamber to the heating chamber.

[0033] Furthermore, the partition 108 is provided with an installation groove, and an installation block 111 is provided in the installation groove. The motor 112 is provided on the installation block 111. The installation block 111 is provided with a connecting rod, and a first cover plate 104 is provided on the connecting rod. A second cover plate 105 is provided on the first cover plate 104, and the second cover plate 105 corresponds to the opening. The first cover plate 104 and the second cover plate 105 respectively seal the installation groove and the opening to ensure the airtightness of the tank 101 and prevent impurities from falling into the asphalt in the heating chamber and contaminating the asphalt.

[0034] Furthermore, the connecting rod is provided with a first movable groove, and a first movable block 115 is provided in the first movable groove. The first movable block 115 is slidably connected in the first movable groove and cannot be moved out of the first movable groove. The first movable block 115 is provided with a groove. The first movable block 115 is provided with a through cavity, and a fixing bolt 116 passes through the through cavity.

[0035] The connecting rod is provided with a movable cavity, which is located below the first movable groove. A second movable block 118 is provided inside the movable cavity, and an extension rod 120 is provided on the second movable block 118. The extension rod 120 extends out of the movable cavity, and a stop block 121 is provided on the side wall of the mounting groove.

[0036] The bottom of the first movable block 115 is provided with a push rod 117, which passes through the movable cavity. The second movable block 118 is provided with an inclined groove and a spring 119, one end of which is fixed to the inner wall of the movable cavity.

[0037] When sealing the mounting slot and opening, the mounting block 111 is placed into the mounting slot, the first cover plate 104 is placed on the mounting slot, and the second cover plate 105 is placed on the opening. The first movable block 115 is pushed to the bottom of the first movable slot, and the push rod 117 moves together with the first movable block 115 to abut against the inclined groove of the second movable block 118, pushing the second movable block 118 to move in the movable cavity. The extension rod 120 moves with the second movable block 118 to below the stop block 121. The first cover plate 104, the second cover plate 105 and the mounting block 111 are fixed by the cooperation of the stop block 121 and the extension rod 120. Then, the fixing bolt 116 is inserted into the through cavity to fix the first movable block 115, thus completing the installation of the stirring device.

[0038] When disassembling the mixing device for maintenance, after removing the fixing bolt 116, the first movable block 115 is pushed upward by the groove, the push rod 117 disengages from the second movable block 118, the spring 119 pushes the second movable block 118 back to its original position, and the extension rod 120 is offset from the stop block 121, so that the mounting block 111 can be easily removed from the mounting groove, which is convenient for maintenance of the mixing device.

[0039] Preferably, a first sealing sheet 106 is provided on the first cover plate 104, and the first sealing sheet 106 is provided on both sides of the first cover plate 104. A second sealing sheet 107 is provided on the second cover plate 105, and the second sealing sheet 107 is provided on both sides of the second cover plate 105. The arrangement of the first sealing sheet 106 and the second sealing sheet 107 can effectively prevent heat loss and external impurities from entering the tank 101.

[0040] The above description is merely a selection of preferred embodiments of this disclosure and an explanation of the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the utility model involved in the embodiments of this disclosure is not limited to the technical solutions formed by specific combinations of the above-described technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by arbitrary combinations of the above-described technical features or their equivalents without departing from the above-described inventive concept.
