Asphalt pavement is widely used in modern transportation infrastructure due to its advantages of smoothness, comfort, and low noise. However, with the increase of traffic flow, erosion of natural environment and other factors, various diseases such as cracks and potholes will inevitably appear on asphalt pavement. Timely repair and daily maintenance of these diseases are crucial for ensuring the service life and driving safety of roads. As a professional road maintenance equipment, asphalt pavement repair vehicles play an indispensable role in the daily maintenance and repair work of asphalt pavement.
Common diseases and hazards of asphalt pavement
Common types of diseases
Cracks: Cracks are one of the most common diseases of asphalt pavement, which can be divided into transverse cracks, longitudinal cracks, and mesh cracks. Horizontal cracks are usually caused by shrinkage cracking due to temperature changes, longitudinal cracks may be due to uneven settlement of the roadbed or improper treatment of construction joints, and mesh cracks are often a manifestation of pavement aging and fatigue.
Pits: Pits are local depressions formed due to the looseness and peeling of road surface materials. Repeated rolling of vehicles, infiltration of rainwater, and quality issues with road materials can all lead to the formation of potholes.
Rutting: Rutting is a permanent deformation of the road surface caused by repeated vehicle loads, mainly manifested as longitudinal grooves on the road surface. Rutting not only affects driving comfort, but also causes the vehicle to deviate while driving, increasing driving safety hazards.
The harm of diseases
If these diseases are not dealt with in a timely manner, they will gradually worsen the degree of damage to the road surface. Cracks will further expand, causing rainwater to seep into the roadbed and reduce its bearing capacity; Pits and potholes can cause bumps and damage to the vehicle's tires and suspension system while driving, and can also easily lead to traffic accidents; Rutting can affect drainage and form water accumulation on rainy days, increasing the risk of vehicle slippage. Therefore, timely daily maintenance and repair of asphalt pavement are crucial.
Working principle and characteristics of asphalt pavement repair vehicle
Working principle
Asphalt pavement repair vehicles generally consist of heating systems, mixing systems, conveying systems, and compaction systems. The working process usually starts by heating the asphalt material with the heating system to reach the appropriate construction temperature. At the same time, the mixing system thoroughly mixes the heated asphalt and other additives to ensure the uniformity of the material. Then, the mixed asphalt material is transported to the location of the road surface that needs to be repaired through a conveying system, and finally the repaired area is compacted using a compaction system to tightly bond with the original road surface.
characteristic
Efficiency: Asphalt pavement repair vehicles can complete the repair work of pavement diseases in a short period of time, greatly reducing construction time and minimizing the impact on traffic. For example, for repairing a small pothole, traditional manual repair methods may take several hours, while using asphalt pavement repair vehicles can be completed in just over ten minutes.
Strong maneuverability: The repair vehicle can flexibly move to different locations of road surface defects for operation, suitable for maintenance and repair work on various road sections. Whether it is urban roads, highways, or rural roads, asphalt pavement repair vehicles can be conveniently used for construction.
High construction quality: The repair vehicle can ensure good bonding between the repair material and the original road surface through precise heating, mixing, and compaction control, improving the durability and strength of the repair area. At the same time, the repaired road surface has high smoothness, which can effectively improve driving comfort.
Environmental protection and energy conservation: Modern asphalt pavement repair vehicles adopt advanced heating technology and energy-saving equipment, which can reduce energy consumption and exhaust emissions. For example, some repair vehicles use microwave heating technology, which is more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly compared to traditional open flame heating methods.
Application of Asphalt Pavement Repair Vehicles in Daily Maintenance
preventative maintenance
Preventive maintenance is a maintenance measure taken before obvious road diseases appear, aimed at delaying the development of road diseases and extending the service life of the road surface. Asphalt pavement repair vehicles can be used for sealing treatment of road surfaces, such as micro surfacing and slurry sealing. By evenly spraying the mixed sealing material onto the road surface, it can effectively prevent erosion by rainwater, ultraviolet rays, etc., while improving the anti-skid performance of the road surface.
Disease repair
When cracks, potholes, and other defects appear on the road surface, asphalt pavement repair vehicles can quickly arrive at the site for repair. For cracks, the repair vehicle can first clean the cracks, then inject heated sealant to fill the cracks and prevent rainwater from seeping in. For potholes, the repair vehicle can fill the heated and mixed asphalt mixture into the pothole and compact it with a compaction system to quickly repair the pothole.
Maintenance and Management of Asphalt Pavement Repair Vehicles
Regular maintenance
In order to ensure the normal operation and service life of asphalt pavement repair vehicles, regular maintenance and upkeep are necessary. Regularly inspect the working status of key components such as the engine, hydraulic system, and heating system of the vehicle, and replace worn parts in a timely manner. At the same time, clean the mixing tank, conveying pipeline, etc. of the vehicle to prevent the residue and agglomeration of asphalt materials.
Operator training
The professional skills and operational level of operators directly affect the effectiveness and construction quality of asphalt pavement repair vehicles. Therefore, it is necessary to provide professional training for operators to familiarize them with the performance, operation methods, and safety precautions of vehicles. Operators should strictly follow the operating procedures to ensure the safety and quality of the construction process.
equipment management
Establish a comprehensive equipment management system and keep detailed records of the use, maintenance, and upkeep of asphalt pavement repair vehicles. Reasonably arrange the operation plan of vehicles and improve the utilization rate of equipment. At the same time, ensure proper storage and preservation of equipment to prevent damage and corrosion.
case analysis
Taking road maintenance in a certain city as an example, before the introduction of asphalt pavement repair vehicles, the repair of road diseases in the city mainly relied on manual methods, with low construction efficiency, difficult quality assurance, and significant impact on traffic. After the introduction of asphalt pavement repair vehicles, the repair speed of road diseases has significantly accelerated, and the construction quality has been significantly improved. For example, on a main road, the pit repair work that used to take a month to complete can now be completed in just one week using asphalt pavement repair vehicles, greatly reducing the impact on traffic. At the same time, the repaired road surface has greatly improved in terms of smoothness and durability, receiving widespread praise from citizens.
