Abstract:

In order to strictly control the grading accuracy of the continuous mixing equipment supply system, an online aggregate grading detection method based on image processing has been developed. By setting up an aggregate particle collection platform at the belt of the cold storage bin, part of the aggregate is sampled during the fall of the aggregate and the gradation situation at this time is analyzed. A watershed + Harris method is used to divide it and combine the results of 200 pictures to obtain the final synthetic gradation of the asphalt mixture. When the proportion of aggregate sampling is basically the same, the optimal sampling distance that the dividing plate should be adjusted to under different belt speeds is obtained by using EDEM software simulation. By comparing the results of the screening test and the image detection method,the correlation coefficient between the image method and the screening method detection result reached 0.998,which has a good detection effect.

Key words: road engineering, continuous mixing plant, image processing, aggregate grading, EDEM simulation
