Asphalt concrete mixing equipment generally uses conveyor belt conveyors to transport cold materials. Its main advantages are large conveying capacity, continuous operation, simple equipment structure and automatic control. However, belt deviation is a common fault, which directly affects the drying operation of the drying drum and also affects the production efficiency of the mixing equipment. Therefore, it is very important for the asphalt mixing station to solve the belt deviation problem at the operation site of the asphalt concrete mixing equipment.
1. Belt deviation condition
The belt of the conveyor belt conveyor is a ring-shaped closed structure. During normal operation, the conveyor belt runs in a circular turnover, and the center lines of the upward and downward belts are parallel to each other or in the same plane. The operation is stable without jumping, and the deviation along the width of the belt does not exceed 5% of the width of the belt; the tensile stress of the belt along its width is equal. During the operation of the conveyor belt conveyor, when the deviation of the belt exceeds 5% of its width, it is called belt deviation. At this time, the center lines of the upward and downward belts are not parallel or in the same plane, and the tensile stress of the belt along its width direction changes, and the tensile stress of the belt on the deviation side increases.
2. Reasons for deviation
When the conveyor belt is running, the belt contacts the roller. The interaction force between the belt and the roller is related to the contact degree and friction coefficient of the belt and the roller in the direction of the belt width. If the contact degree of the belt and the roller at each point along the width direction of the belt is different, then the interaction force at each point is also not equal. When the force on the roller is applied, the roller will be subjected to the action of the torque M, causing the roller to rotate clockwise along the center line of the belt. However, because the roller is fixed on the frame of the belt conveyor, this kind of movement is not allowed, so the belt will move to the left to balance the movement trend of the roller, so that the belt will deviate. There are many factors that cause the belt to deviate.
The main reasons are:
① The installation position of the cold aggregate grading machine hopper or the inclined belt conveyor hopper is incorrect, resulting in the belt being overloaded.
② The manufacturing and installation quality of the conveyor frame and rollers is not high, resulting in uneven forces between the belt and the rollers along the width of the belt.
③ The bonding quality of the conveyor belt is not high, resulting in uneven joints and a bell-mouth phenomenon.
④ The belt itself has poor performance and poor troughing, resulting in overload.
⑤ The belt is partially damaged. The above factors will cause the tension of the belt along the width direction to change, and eventually cause the belt to move to the side with greater tension, causing the belt to deviate.
3. Correction measures
(1) Correction principle
When the belt deviates to the left, the left side of the roller will tilt forward at an angle along the running direction of the belt, and the belt will be affected by the friction of the roller. N can be decomposed into two components, namely, the component Nx along the width direction of the belt and the tangential component Nt that causes the roller to rotate. The force Nx is the correcting force that causes the belt to move to the right, thus achieving the correction.
(2) Correction measures
① Tilt the flat roller forward at an angle of 2°-4° along the running direction of the belt on the side where the belt is deviating.
② Set two sets of self-aligning grooved rollers with reversible rotating frames along the length direction of the belt to automatically correct the deviation of the belt.
③ Install a certain number of anti-deviation vertical rollers on both sides of the belt on the frame of the conveyor belt conveyor to forcibly prevent the belt from deviating.
④ Perform surface treatment on some rollers, apply rubber coating on the outer surface of the rollers, and use the rubber surface to enhance the belt’s ability to resist lateral displacement.
⑤ Use an automatic deviation correction system, that is, use photoelectric technology to monitor the running status of the conveyor belt. When the belt deviates to a certain position, the photoelectric switch receives and sends a signal to control the deviation correction device to automatically correct the belt. There are currently two main types of this deviation correction device: mechanical and hydraulic.

    For road construction machinery, the following is mainly about the asphalt mixer in road construction machinery equipment. Because it is the key product of Wuxi road construction machinery manufacturers, it is necessary to carry out comprehensive training and mastery, so as to ensure meticulousness and practicality, and not ignore any knowledge points.
    1. In road construction machinery, is there any difference between asphalt mixing equipment and asphalt concrete mixing equipment?
    The answer given by Sinoroader Group manufacturer to this question is no, that is, there is no difference between asphalt mixing equipment and asphalt concrete mixing equipment. They refer to the same type of equipment, but they are different in name. It can be said that they are two names for the same type of equipment, and there is no difference in essence.
    2. During the operation of the asphalt mixer, there is a sound in the mixing pot. What’s the matter?
    In the view of Sinoroader Group, there are two answers to this question. One is that the mixer arm on the asphalt mixer is not good or damaged. The second is that the wear-resistant lining in the mixer is damaged, which leads to this problem.
    3. What are the dust removal devices in the asphalt mixing equipment?
    In the asphalt mixing equipment, for its dust removal device, Sinoroader Group believes that the key is to use the dry ash removal method, because it can facilitate the collection of raw materials. In terms of its dust removal equipment type, there are filter dust removal equipment, centrifugal fan dust removal equipment and force dust removal equipment, etc., which can all be used well.
    For the asphalt mixer and asphalt mixing equipment in road construction machinery, I believe that through the practical discussion of the above relevant content, everyone can master it well and master it, so that in practice, they can have new gains and benefit a lot from it.

    The materials used in asphalt mixtures contain a lot of dust. When the equipment is operating, if the dust enters the atmosphere, it will cause pollution. Therefore, dust removal equipment must be installed, and now bag dust removal is the main method. Safety is a common sense issue. There are well-established standard safety rules.
    Do not clean, oil or adjust any mechanical equipment that is not specifically explained during operation; turn off the power and lock it before inspection or repair activities to prepare for accidents. Because each situation has its own particularity. Therefore, be vigilant about safety damage issues, incorrect operation issues and other deficiencies. All of them may lead to accidents, personal injuries, reduced production efficiency, and more importantly, loss of life. Careful and early prevention is the best way to avoid accidents.
    Careful and correct maintenance can make the equipment work more efficiently and control it within a certain level of pollution; the maintenance of each component should be carried out according to its operating standards; maintenance plans and safe operation procedures should be formulated according to the inspection and repair conditions that must be carried out.
    Take out a work log to record all inspection and repair conditions, list the analysis of each inspection of each component and the description of the repair content or the date of the repair; the second step is to give the inspection cycle for each component, which should be determined according to the service life and wear condition of each component.

    Asphalt mixing stations, also known as asphalt concrete mixing stations, can produce asphalt mixtures, modified asphalt mixtures, and colored asphalt mixtures, which fully meet the needs of building highways, grade roads, municipal roads, airports, ports, etc. Changmeng Electric Power introduces the safety operating procedures of asphalt mixing plants below:
    1. During the operation of the mixing equipment, in addition to ensuring that the equipment is in good condition, it should also be equipped with a mineral moisture content detector and a finished material tester, and the relevant data should be frequently tested for the operator to adjust the operation in time to keep the equipment in good condition.
    2. In addition to affecting production capacity, the moisture content of mineral materials is also the main factor determining fuel consumption. Additional material sheds should be added.
    3. Before operation, all working parts and devices of the mixing equipment should be fully checked to see if they are intact and normal. If there are any problems, they must be properly handled before operation, and it is forbidden to operate with illness.
    4. The operation must be carried out strictly in accordance with the procedures and precautions specified in the instruction manual. After normal ignition, the dust collector should be monitored to ensure that the drying drum burns under negative pressure; after production starts, the hot material elevator and agitator should be monitored to see if they are working normally to coordinate the operation of other parts.

    The actual operation steps of drying drum of asphalt mixing equipment: 1. Pay attention to routine inspection; 2. Proper operation steps; 3. Effective maintenance.
    Drying drum is a cylindrical device specially used for heating and drying stones in asphalt mixing equipment. Proper application and maintenance of drying drum can maximize the performance of drying drum, increase its service life and reduce application cost. Let’s take a look at the actual operation steps below.
    1. Pay attention to routine inspections
    The asphalt mixing equipment drying drum has been tested and inspected before leaving the factory, but it will be subjected to vibration and vibration during transportation to the construction site. A comprehensive inspection should be carried out before use: check whether all anchor bolts are tightened; whether all key pins are properly driven; whether all drive devices are adjusted according to the manufacturer’s instructions; whether all pipe connections are appropriate and whether the three-way joints are reliable; whether the entire equipment is fully lubricated; start the motor and check whether all parts can rotate steadily in the correct rotation direction; whether the pressure gauge can work normally and whether the valve is adjusted to the correct working pressure; whether the burner ignition mechanism is available and whether the gate valve is open.
    2. Correct operation steps
    After the equipment is started, it is recommended to control the machine manually at the beginning, and then switch to the automatic control mode after achieving the required production volume and pouring temperature. The stone should be dried and have a stable moisture content as much as possible so that the stone can maintain a stable final temperature when passing through the drying drum. If the stones delivered to the drying drum change frequently and the moisture content changes each time, the burner should be adjusted frequently to compensate for these changes.
    The stones directly from the crushed stone have a relatively constant moisture content, while the stones from the outdoor storage yard have a higher moisture content, and the moisture content of different piles varies greatly. Therefore, it is best for the stones to come from the same source.
