Abstract
A method and apparatus for controlling the mixing of asphalt aggregate with rejuvenating materials in an asphalt rejuvenating machine. According to the method, milled aggregate is discharged in a windrow of fixed width, and windrow height is compared to rejuvenating machine speed to determine a volume rate of material being processed. A processor controller calculates a required amount of rejuvenating fluid addition based on the volume rate being processed and a desired proportion of rejuvenating fluid to aggregate. The processor controller controls a sprayer which directs rejuvenating fluid at some point along a zone extending from a milling apparatus to a mixer.
Description
- This invention relates to apparatus for in situ rejuvenation of asphalt-pavement. More particularly this invention relates to a method and apparatus for controlling the mixing of milled aggregate and rejuvenating fluid in such rejuvenation.
- Asphalt pavement consists essentially of an aggregate and sand mixture held together with a petroleum based binder, such as tar. With continued exposure to sun, moisture, traffic, freezing and thawing, asphalt surfaces degrade. The degradation is principally in the binder, rather than the aggregate and sand mixture which makes up the bulk of the asphalt. Also, much of the degradation occurs within the top two or three inches of the surface.
- Traditionally, worn asphalt pavement was not restored but instead was torn up and replaced with new asphalt. This is a costly approach and creates a problem as to what to do with the torn up pavement. Accordingly, techniques and apparatus have been developed for restoring or rejuvenating the top few inches of an asphalt paved surface. A typical road resurfacing apparatus has a heater for heating and softening the asphalt surface as it passes along the asphalt surface. Following the heater is a “rake” or “scarifier” which breaks up or “scarifies” the softened pavement The scarified pavement is generally crushed or “milled”, blended with rejuvenating fluid and optionally additional sand or aggregate and redeposited. The redeposited material is spread out and rolled to create a rejuvenated surface comparable in quality to the original surface before degradation.
- In order to produce a rejuvenated surface of high quality, it is important to ensure that an appropriate amount of rejuvenation fluid is added. Generally, a core sample or several core samples are initially taken of the surface to be rejuvenated and a desired ratio of rejuvenation material to milled aggregate is analytically determined. Although the amount is relatively easy to determine, its control may prove difficult. Past asphalt rejuvenation machines have assumed a constant cutting or milling depth and a constant rate of machine travel in determining the rate of addition of rejuvenating fluid.
- In practice, the machine speed may vary and as well, the depth of cut will generally vary because of surface irregularities and sloped surfaces. Accordingly, adding rejuvenation fluid at a rate based on constant speed and depth assumptions has produced rejuvenated surfaces with inconsistent properties.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for more accurately controlling the mixing of asphalt aggregate with rejuvenating materials.
- A method for controlling the mixing of asphalt aggregate with rejuvenating materials in an asphalt rejuvenating machine, said method comprising the steps of:
- (i) dislodging a top layer of an asphalt paved surface;
- (ii) passing a milling apparatus over the dislodged layer from step (i) to strip said top layer and break up the top layer of the asphalt paved surface to form a milled aggregate;
- (iii) adding rejuvenating material to the milled aggregate;
- (iv) transferring the milled aggregate to a mixer and blending the milled aggregate with said rejuvenating material to form a blended aggregate.
- (v) discharging either the blended aggregate or the milled aggregate in a windrow of pre-determined width;
- (vi) measuring the height of the windrow;
- (vii) measuring a speed of travel of the asphalt rejuvenating machine;
- (viii) comparing the height of the windrow with said speed and determining a volume rate of discharge from said mixer;
- (ix) determining a desired rate of addition of the rejuvenating materials which corresponds to the volume rate of discharge and a pre-determined final composition; and,
- (x) adjusting a rate of addition of the rejuvenating material in step (iii) to correspond to said desired rate of addition from step (ix).
- An asphalt rejuvenating machine has a transport structure movable along an asphalt surface, a power plant mounted to the transport structure for providing motive force for the transport structure and a heater mounted to the transport structure for heating the asphalt surface. A rake mounted to the transport structure travels behind the heater for scarifying the asphalt surface to produce a scarified surface. A milling apparatus is mounted to the transport structure for milling the scarified surface to form a milled aggregate and to present the milled aggregate to a mixer. A rejuvenating fluid supply system is mounted to the transport structure for supplying rejuvenating fluid to the milled aggregate. The machine includes a mixer for blending the milled aggregate with the rejuvenating fluid and depositing a blended aggregate thus formed in a windrow of predetermined width. The machine further includes a speed sensor for measuring the speed of travel of the transport structure and a height measuring device for measuring the height of the windrow. The machine further includes a comparator for comparing the speed of travel with the height to determine a volume rate of discharge of the blended aggregate. A controller associated with the rejuvenating fluid supply system is provided to vary a volume rate at which the rejuvenating fluid is added, based on the volume rate of discharge and the pre-determined final composition.
- The rejuvenating fluid supply system may include a rejuvenating fluid tank, a sprayer for spraying the rejuvenating fluid on the milled aggregate, a pump fluidly communicating with the rejuvenating fluid tank and the sprayer for delivering the rejuvenating fluid from the tank to the sprayer, and a flow meter for determining a volume flow rate of the rejuvenating fluid.
- The speed sensor may be mounted on an axle of the transport structure.
- The mixer or the milling apparatus may have a discharge opening with a guide for determining the pre-determined width of the windrow, and a levelling device which rides along a top surface of the windrow.
- The comparator may be part of a central processor unit which receives input from the speed sensor, the height measuring device, an operator control panel and the fluid flow meter. The central processor unit may also act as the controller by sending an output to the pump.

- An asphalt rejuvenating apparatus is generally indicated by reference10 in FIG. 1. The rejuvenating machine 10 travels in a path of travel indicated by
arrow 12. The rejuvenating machine 10 has a transport structure 11 to which its various components are mounted. The transport structure 11 is basically a support frame having wheels ortracks 54. Apower plant 14 at the front of the transport structure 11 is provided to drive the apparatus and typically includes an engine and a hydraulic system. - Behind the
power plant 14 and also mounted on the transport structure 11 is aheater 16 which includes numerous burners and associated plumbing for heating anasphalt surface 18 upon which the rejuvenating apparatus 10 travels. A propane (or other combustible fuel)tank 20 and acombustion blower 22 would typically be provided. Theheater 16 directs heat at theasphalt surface 18 to cause softening of an upper part of theasphalt surface 18. - The softened
asphalt surface 18 is initially dislodged by a raking device, generally indicated byreference 30, mounted to the transport structure 11, and which follows theheater 16. Theraking device 30 has rakes which dislodge the heatedasphalt surface 18. The rakingdevice 30 may includemain rakes 32 and extension rakes 34, the extension rakes 34 performing a similar function to themain rakes 32, but to the outside edges. The main rakes 32 break up material around manholes where amain mill 36 behind the rakingdevice 30 cannot run. - The
main mill 36 which is mounted to the transport structure 11 behind the rakingdevice 30 grinds up the material dislodged by the rakes, levels the underlying surface and prepares the surface to a preset depth.Extension mills 38 ahead of themain mill 36 perform a similar function, but process outer material typically from 10 to 15 feet to each side of the rejuvenating apparatus 10 and move it to a central part of the rejuvenating apparatus 10 where it is subsequently processed by themain mill 36. - A
pug mill 40, also mounted to the transport structure 11, follows themain mill 36 and acts as a mixer for blending the processed material from themain mill 36 with rejuvenating fluid from atank 42. Blendedmaterial 46 from thepug mill 40 is picked up by a scalpingconveyor 44 which deposits the blendedmaterial 46 in aheated holding hopper 48. The holdinghopper 48 keeps the blendedmaterial 46 hot until it is needed. The holdinghopper 48 may be filled through its top with material for start ups or if additional material is needed. The holdinghopper 48 may also be dumped if required or at the end of a day's operation. - A
screed 50 follows the asphalt rejuvenating apparatus 10 and may be a unit such as typically found on an asphalt paver. Thescreed 50 lays, spreads and slightly compacts the blendedmaterial 46 for final rolling. - A
water system 52 may be provided to supply cooling water to the front and rear tires or tracks 54. - An
operator 56 operates a control andprocessing station 58. From initial core samples the amount of rejuvenating fluid, sand and aggregate required to bring theasphalt surface 18 up to a suitable specification can be determined. Theoperator 56 can input and monitor the amounts of rejuvenating fluid, sand and aggregate being added. - A sand/
aggregate bin 60 precedes the asphalt rejuvenating apparatus 10. The sand/aggregate bin 60 may be attached to the asphalt rejuvenating apparatus 10 or attached to a separate machine (not shown) running in front thereof. Sand/aggregate is metered at a specific rate which is a function of ground speed and specification requirements. - The rejuvenating fluid is supplied by a rejuvenating fluid supply system generally indicated by
reference 100 in FIG. 2. The rejuvenatingfluid supply system 100 includes the rejuvenatingfluid supply tank 42 and further includes asprayer 102, apump 104 for delivering rejuvenating fluid from thesupply tank 42 to thesprayer 102 and a flow meter 106 for measuring a volume flow rate of the rejuvenating fluid. - The
sprayer 102 may be located at themain mill 38, between themain mill 38 and thepug mill 40 or at thepug mill 40. Thesprayer 102 delivers rejuvenating fluid to the milled aggregate for final blending with the milled aggregate in thepug mill 40. - A
speed sensor 108 is mounted to anaxle 110, typically a drive axle of the transport structure 11 in FIG. 1. The speed sensor measures the speed of the transport structure 11 and sends a signal to acentral processing unit 112 which is part of the control andprocessing station 58. - In order to determine an accurate rate at which rejuvenating fluid should be added, the asphalt rejuvenating machine10 continually monitors the throughput of milled material. The volume throughput can be determined by multiplying the cross-sectional area of milled aggregate or blended aggregate emanating from the
main mill 38 orpug mill 40 by the speed of the transport structure 11. To facilitate the measuring of the cross-sectional area, themain mill 38 orpug mill 40 may be provided with adischarge opening 114 having guides 116 a pre-determined distance apart. Theguides 116 cause the milled or blended aggregate to be discharged in awindrow 120 of substantially constant width W. - If the width is a known constant, the only variable that needs to be measured to determine cross-sectional area of the
windrow 120 is its height H. Accordingly, aheight measuring device 122 is provided for measuring the height H of thewindrow 120. Variousheight measuring devices 122 may be used. FIGS. 3 through 6 show representative examples. - In the FIG. 3 variant a “shoe”124 substantially spans the breadth of the
discharge opening 114 and levels thewindrow 120 as it rides upon thewindrow 120. Theshoe 124 has a base 126 which inclines upwardly toward afront end 128 thereof. Aparallel bar linkage 130 mounts theshoe 124 to themain mill 38 orpug mill 40. Although this is likely the most convenient mounting location this should not be interpreted restrictively. For example, a separate mounting bracket might be used extending from the transport structure 11. - A
height transponder 132 is mounted to theparallel bar linkage 130 to send an electronic signal to thecentral processing unit 112 in response to vertical movement of theshoe 124 which is indicative of windrow height. Acounterweight 134 may also be provided to reduce the downward force exerted by theshoe 124. - FIGS. 4 through 6 illustrate alternate embodiments for a
height measuring device 122 which are similar in that they utilize aflap 136 extending across thedischarge opening 114 as a levelling device instead of theshoe 124. Theflaps 136 are mounted so as to be pivotable about anaxis 138 extending across thedischarge opening 114 in a direction transverse to the travel direction of the asphalt rejuvenating machine. - In the FIG. 4 embodiment, the height sensor is an
angular displacement transducer 140 which senses the angular position of theflap 136 and sends an electronic signal to thecentral processing unit 112 in FIG. 2 (not shown in FIGS. 3 through 6) indicative of windrow height H. - The FIG. 5 embodiment is very similar to the FIG. 4 embodiment except that it uses a
linear displacement transducer 142 rather than theangular displacement transducer 140 of the FIG. 4 embodiment. - The FIG. 6 embodiment also has a
flap 136 but utilizes an ultrasonic (ie., sound speed) or laser (ie., light speed)depth sensor 143 rather than a displacement sensor and targets thewindrow 120 itself rather than theflap 136 orshoe 124. Thedepth sensor 143 sends a signal to thecentral processing unit 112 indicative of windrow height H. - As will be apparent to persons skilled in apparatus for measuring depth or heights, various arrangements are possible and the above described embodiments should only be considered as a representative sample. For example, an ultrasonic or laser transducer could be mounted directly to the transport structure11 or used instead of the
transponder 132 in the FIG. 3 embodiment. - The
central processor unit 112 acts as a comparator which receives input from the height measuring device, anoperator control panel 144 and thefluid flow meter 104. Thecentral processor unit 112 also acts as a controller by sending an output to aflow regulator 146 which may be associated with the flow meter 106, to regulate the flow of rejuvenating fluid provided by thepump 104 to thesprayer 102. - It will be apparent to those skilled in flow regulation devices that various flow regulator arrangements could be used. For example, a pump may be used having a proportional motor or a valve or pressure regulator could be used in combination with a flow meter. Basically any combination of devices which pump rejuvenating fluid, measure fluid flow and provide feedback to control the flow are candidates.
- The
operator control panel 144 may be arranged as desired however it should preferably include a display for actual rejuvenatingfluid flow 146, a display for desired rejuvenatingfluid flow 148 and an operator input set point display andadjustment control 150. - The above description is intended in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense. Variations, examples of which are suggested above, may be apparent to persons skilled in such equipment and methods without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the claims set out below.
