Field of Invention

Technical field

The present invention relates to an integrated paving system.

State of the art

In paving technology, productivity is a function of the volume of the mixture that can be delivered to the building site and the overall speed of the paving and compaction process. The compaction process is typically the most limiting process at the work site, while mix throughput is usually less of a problem in terms of productivity at the work site. Accordingly, the required number of rollers and the available time to seal the coating have the greatest impact on performance. Safety and cost are a big problem with modern technology, which typically requires a large number of personnel to perform paving works due to the fact that each machine is driven separately.

Paving operations usually require multiple materials transport vehicles (MTVs) that deliver the mixture to the work site. However, during transportation, heat losses and mechanical segregation can occur, which in turn adversely affects the quality of the road surface. Currently, the problems of heat loss and mechanical segregation are solved primarily in two ways. Firstly, heat losses can be minimized by thermal insulation of the walls of the body of the vehicle transporting the material using foam material or wood paneling. Additionally, the open car body can be covered with a simple canvas. Secondly, the effect of thermally modified and mechanically segregated mixtures can be corrected by using additional expensive machines for essentially re-mixing the mixture either in front of the pavement stacker (material handling machines / roll pickers) or in the receiving hopper of the pavement stacker (push-in stirring device).

US 5,580,211 proposes the use of a double-walled insulated container for transporting hot asphalt mix and preventing heat loss. The container effectively works as a closed swap body of a car, which is transported from an asphalt plant to the site of paving works on the first transport vehicle. At the site of work, the container is unloaded from the first transport vehicle and loaded onto a transport vehicle serving the site of work, which delivers the container to the pavement stacker and empties the contents of the container into the hopper of the pavement stacker, like a regular vehicle for transporting materials, such as a dump truck.

The present invention relates to an improved integrated system for paving, which can provide an improvement in relation to at least one of the following indicators: the possibility of changing the volume, storage of the mixture, segregation of particles, thermal losses, speed / productivity at the place of work, safety, cost or the number of personnel required for paving.

The implementation of the invention

Figures 1-6 and 8 show a pavement stacker 10 according to one embodiment of the invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the pavement stacker 10 is configured to stack a road mix, including, for example, but without limitation, asphalt and concrete.

According to one aspect of the implementation, the pavement stacker 10 includes at least one drive device that is used to move the pavement stacker 10. According to another aspect, the pavement stacker can be made both for independent movement on roads with speeds set for the highway, for example, at a speed of at least 72 kilometers per hour (45 miles per hour), and for movement during paving operations asphalt, that is, at a speed of less than or equal to 16 kilometers per hour (10 miles per hour). According to yet another distinguishing feature, the pavement stacker may be equipped with two independent drive devices 15 and 20.

As shown in figures 1-6 and 8, the first drive device may include running wheels 15 for independent movement on roads with established speeds for the highway. As shown in figures 1-6 and 8, the second drive device may include a caterpillar mover 20 to move at the place of work, when the paver 10 pavement paves the pavement.

As shown in figures 2A-2B, the caterpillar mover 20 can be pulled in a vertical direction and raised above the soil surface during independent movement on roads with speeds set for the highway. After transporting the pavement stacker 10 to the work site, the track mover 20 can be extended and lowered to bring the track mover 20 into contact with the soil surface. In one embodiment, both the caterpillar mover 20 and the casing stacker body 11, including the tamper 13 and the auger 12, can be lowered by a common mechanism to bring the caterpillar 20 into contact with the soil surface and position the tamper 13 and the auger 12 on suitable for paving height. In another embodiment, the caterpillar mover 20 can be lowered independently of the housing, tamper beam 13 and / or auger. In such a construction, the tamper 13 and the screw 12 can be lowered independently or can be mounted at a height suitable for laying asphalt after the caterpillar mover comes into contact with the soil and the running wheels 15 are raised above the soil.

In figures 2A-2B it is also shown that the running wheels 15 are in contact with the soil during independent movement on the road. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that lowering the track mover 20 to move at the work site can also cause the running wheels 15 to rise above the soil while moving at the work site. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the running wheels 15 and the caterpillar mover can simultaneously remain in contact with the soil surface while moving at the work site. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that a variety of means can be used to retract and extend the caterpillar mover, including, but not limited to, an electric drive, a worm drive, a stepper motor, pneumatic and hydraulic mechanisms.

According to another aspect of an embodiment, an operator control interface 25, which may be located in a closed or partially enclosed cabin, may have a first and second position 25a, 25b depending on whether the pavement stacker 10 is in a road-moving state with a highway installed speeds or movements at the work site during the paving process. As shown in FIG. 1, in the driving mode, the operator control interface 25 may be in the first position 25a, possibly in the front or towards the front of the pavement stacker 10. As shown in FIGS. 2A-2B, when the pavement stacker 10 is at the pavement laying site while performing the pavement laying operation, the control interface may be in the second position 25b, possibly at the rear of the pavement stacker 10 or closer to the rear of the stacker 10 road surface than the first position 25A. As can be seen when comparing figure 1 with figures 2A-2B, the operator control interface on either the left or right side of the pavement stacker 10. In addition to the first and second positions 25a, 25b shown, any number of additional positions with different heights and points of view is possible, and any number of structures can be used to move the control interface 25 between the positions. By way of example, but not limitation, the control interface 25 may be mounted on a guardrail or some other mechanism, and an electric actuator, pneumatic, or hydraulic mechanism may be used to adjust the position.

As shown in figures 2A-4, the pavement stacker 10 is equipped with a conveyor section 30 for loading the container, a section 40 for unloading the mixture, and a conveyor section 50 for unloading the container. As shown, the mixture discharge section 40 is located between the conveyor section 30 for loading the container and the conveyor section 50 for unloading the container. It is also shown that the conveyor section 30 for loading the container is located in the front of the stacker 10 of the pavement, and the conveyor section 50 for unloading the container is located in the rear of the stacker 10 of the pavement.

According to one aspect of the implementation, the conveyor section 30 for loading the container may have a stowed position 30a and an unfolded position 30b. According to an embodiment, the conveyor section 50 for unloading the container may have a stowed position 50a and an unfolded position 50b. Referring to Figures 2A-2B, they show the traveling positions 30a, 50a of the conveyor section 30 for loading the container and the conveyor section 50 for unloading the container, respectively. Referring to figure 4, it shows the expanded positions 30b, 50b, respectively, of the conveyor section 30 for loading the container and the conveyor section 50 for unloading the container.

As shown in figures 3 and 4, when the conveyor section 30 for loading the container and the conveyor section 50 for unloading the container from the traveling positions 30a, 50a to the deployed positions 30b, 50b, the conveyor section 30 for loading the container and the conveyor section 50 for unloading the container are deployed outward in opposite directions from section 40 for unloading the mixture. As shown in figure 3, the support 31 of the conveyor section for loading the container, which supports the conveyor section 30 for loading the container in the unfolded position, can also be extended horizontally from the stacker 10 of the pavement while changing the position of the section. The tamper 13 can also act as a support for the conveyor section 50 for unloading the container.

As shown in figures 2A-2B and 3, when the conveyor section 30 for loading the container and the conveyor section 50 for unloading the container move to the traveling positions 30a, 50a from the deployed positions 30b, 50b, the conveyor section 30 for loading the container and the conveyor section 50 for unloading the container fold inward, and they, as an example, but not limitation, are located above section 40 for unloading the mixture, as a result of which the pavement stacker 10 becomes compact and the total length of the pavement stacker 10 is reduced compared to expanded positions 30b, 50b. Preferably, while driving on roads with speeds set for the highway, the conveyor section 30 for loading the container and the conveyor section 50 for unloading the container can be folded into the stowed positions 30a, 50a to facilitate driving on roads with speeds set for the highway. Also, while moving to the place of work when laying the pavement, the conveyor section 30 for loading the container and the conveyor section 50 for unloading the container can be unfolded in the deployed position 30b, 50b to facilitate the loading and unloading of mobile containers for the road mixture, as described below. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that a large number of hydraulic or pneumatic systems can be used for translating between traveling and deployed positions.

According to one aspect of the implementation, the pavement stacker 10 is configured to receive a mobile container for a road mixture, such as, for example, but not limited to, a mobile container 100 for a road mixture, shown in figures 5-8. According to another aspect of the implementation, the conveyor section 30 for loading the container is configured to receive a mobile container for the road mixture during loading onto the pavement stacker 10.

The process of loading a mobile container for a road mixture onto a conveyor section for loading a container can take various forms. In one configuration, a vehicle, such as, for example, a forklift truck or a mini crane, can load a mobile mix container 100 directly onto a conveyor section 30 to load a container. In another configuration, the pavement stacker 10 may independently load a mobile mix container. As an example, a pavement stacker may be equipped with a mini crane or a lift.

As shown in figure 4, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, the conveyor section 30 for loading the container is made for self-loading the container for the road mixture on the paver. As shown in figures 4 and 10, when the conveyor section 30 for loading the container is deployed, it is preferably made inclined so that it is inclined upward from the surface of the soil. As shown in figures 4-6, the conveyor section 30 for loading the container may have a belt or chain drive 32, which independently loads the mobile container for the road mixture on the stacker 10 of the road surface. As shown in FIG. 6, the belt or chain drive 32 may have several protrusions or recesses 33 that engage with corresponding protrusions or recesses 133 at the bottom 100a of the road transport container 100 for self-loading. It is also shown that the bottom 100a of the mobile road container 100 may have a beveled edge 131, which facilitates self-loading.

Preferably, during self-loading, the conveyor section 30 for loading the container can be retracted or placed under the beveled edge 131 and under the bottom 100a of the mobile container 100 for the road mixture until the recesses or protrusions 33 on the belt or chain drive engage with the recesses or protrusions 33 at the bottom 100a of a mobile container for a road mixture. After that, the belt or chain drive 32 can tighten the mobile container 100 for the road mixture up the inclined conveyor section 30 to load the container and onto the paver. Similarly, the conveyor section 30 for loading the container can move the mobile container 100 for the road mixture to section 40 for unloading the road mixture of the paver 10 pavement.

According to one aspect of the implementation, the pavement stacker 10 is configured to discharge the mixture from the mobile container of the road mixture. According to another aspect of the implementation, the pavement stacker 10 is configured to discharge the mixture from the mobile container of the road mass into the section 40 for unloading the mixture. The process of unloading the road mixture from the mobile container for the road mixture can take various forms. As an example, but not limitation, the mobile container for the road mixture for unloading the mixture in section 40 for unloading the mixture can be tilted or tipped over.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, in which a mobile mix container 100 is used, the mixed mix stacker 10 opens at least one hatch 135, and preferably the first or second hatch 135, located on the bottom 100a of the mobile mix container 100 for dispensing the mix . It will be apparent to those skilled in the art using various mechanisms for opening hatches 135. As an example, but not limitation, Figure 7 shows a possible mechanism 41 for opening a manhole that can be mounted above section 40 to discharge the mixture. As shown in figures 7 and 14-15, the hatch opening mechanism 41 applies a torque to the hatch control mechanism 137 connected to the hatches 135 to open the hatches 135 by sliding and release the road mixture. After the release of the road mixture, the road mixture conveyor 42 in the conveyor section 40 for unloading the road mixture can move the road mixture to the auger 12 and the tamper 13.

According to another aspect of the implementation, the section 40 for unloading the mixture is made to move the mobile container for the road mixture to the conveyor section 50 for unloading the container. As shown in figure 4, the section for unloading the mixture preferably includes a container conveyor 43 for moving the container to the conveyor section 50 for unloading the container. As shown, the container conveyor 43 may be a belt or chain drive similar to a belt or chain drive 32 mounted on a conveyor section 30 for loading the container and, if desired, may have protrusions or recesses similar to the recesses or protrusions 33 on the conveyor section 30 for loading the container . It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the container conveyor 43 can also assist in positioning the container relative to the hatch opening mechanism 41 and the road conveyor 42 while unloading the road mixture from the mobile road mixture container. While the present embodiment is shown with a belt or chain drive moving the container conveyor 43, in an alternative embodiment of the invention, loading the next mobile mix container 100 can push the unloaded mobile mix container from the section 40 to discharge the mixture towards the conveyor section 50 for unloading the container.

According to another aspect of the implementation, the section 40 for unloading the mixture is made to fold the mobile container for the road mixture. While the present invention contemplates the use of a large number of collapsible container designs, in this preferred embodiment of the invention, the pavement stacker 10 is configured to fold the transportable container 100 for the road mix. As shown in figures 8A and 8B, the mobile container 100 for the road mixture has two end caps 102, 103 and the Central section 104, which are telescopically connected / As shown in figure 9, for the purpose of folding the mobile container for the road mixture container conveyor 43 may be equipped the first section 43a and the second section 43b. For specialists, it is obvious that when the front first section 43a is operating at a speed greater than the speed of the second second section 43b following it, the mobile container 100 for the road mixture can transition from the extended state, as shown in FIG. 8A, to the folded state, as shown in figure 8B. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 9, a raised stop 45 may be provided at the rear end of the mixture discharging section 40. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the stop 45 may be coupled to an actuator that raises the stop when it is desired to fold the mobile container 100 to the road mixture, and which lowers the stop when it is desired to allow the folded mobile road container 100 to be moved to the conveyor section 50 to unload the container.

According to one aspect of the implementation, the pavement stacker 10 is configured such that the mobile paving container 100 can be unloaded from the pavement stacker 10. The process of unloading a mobile container for a road mixture can take various forms. In one configuration, a vehicle, such as, for example, a forklift truck or a mini crane, can unload the mobile road mix container 100 from the road stacker 10 after the mixture has been unloaded. In another configuration, the pavement stacker 10 can independently unload the mobile mix containers. As an example, a pavement stacker may be equipped with a mini crane or hoist.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the conveyor section 50 for unloading the container is made for self-unloading mobile containers for the road mixture from the paver. As shown in figures 4 and 10, when the conveyor section 50 for unloading containers is deployed, it is preferably made inclined so that it is inclined down to the surface of the soil. Like the conveyor section 30 for loading the container, the conveyor section 50 for unloading the container may also have a belt or chain drive 32, which independently unloads the mobile container for the road mixture from the paver 10. Moreover, the belt or chain drive 32 may optionally have several protrusions or recesses, similar to protrusions or recesses 33, which fit into corresponding protrusions or recesses 133 at the bottom 100a of the road transport container 100 for self-unloading. Preferably, after the mobile containers 100 for the road mixture are unloaded, they can be picked up by the vehicle, returned to the factory for the production of the road mixture, returned to the unfolded state shown in Figure 8A, and reused as the mobile container 100 for the road mixture.

Turning to figures 8A, 8B, 13-18, you can see the mobile container 100 for the road mixture. Although one embodiment of the mobile mix container 100 is described in this embodiment, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that other types are within the scope of the invention.

As shown, the mobile road container 100 has 6 walls 100a-100f, including lower 100a, upper 100b, front 100c, rear 100d and side walls 100e and 100f. As shown, the mobile container for the road mixture preferably has a generally rectangular box shape. Preferably, the mobile road container 100 is thermally insulated to reduce heat loss. As an example, a mobile container for a road mixture can be made using a material with high heat-insulating properties. In addition, as shown in FIG. 18, the mobile mortar container 100 may have double walls.

According to one aspect of the implementation of the mobile container 100 for the road mixture is made folding. As shown in figures 8A and 8B, the mobile container 100 for the road mixture has two end caps 102, 103 and the Central part 104, which are telescopically connected, so that the mobile container 100 for the road mixture can have an expanded position, as shown in figure 8A, and the folded position, as shown in figure 8B. In this example, the central part 104 is made as an inside hollow rectangular pipe that forms sections of the walls 100a, 100b, 100c, 100f, and the two outer end caps 102, 103 form parts of the lower 100a, the upper 100b, the side walls 100e and 100f, as well as the front and back walls 100c, 100d. As shown, the central portion 104 is an inner pipe that extends into the caps 102, 103, which are slidably mounted relative to the inner pipe. In the folded or shortened position shown in figure 8B, the two covers are mutually in contact.

According to one aspect of the implementation of the mobile container 100 for the road mixture has at least one hatch 135, preferably located on the bottom 100A. As shown, the mobile container 100 for the road mixture preferably has first and second hatches 135. The hatches 135 are shown preferably located on the end caps 102, 103 of the mobile container 100 for the road mixture, however, in an alternative embodiment of the invention, one or more hatches may be located in the central part 104. As already discussed, the mortar stacker 10 preferably opens hatches 135 for unloading or discharging the mortar into section 40 for unloading the mixture. As shown in figures 7 and 14-15, the mobile container 100 for the road mixture preferably has a sunroof control mechanism 137 connected to the hatches 135, which when rotated by applying a torque causes the hatches 135 to slide open and the road mixture is released from the mobile container 100 for road mixture. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present embodiment describes one example of the hatches and that other designs may be used, including structures where the hatches open as a result of rotation rather than sliding, as shown, and structures where the hatches open separately.

As shown in FIG. 18, the interior of the traveling road container 100 preferably has a road guidance element 150 that directs the road material to the hatches 135. As shown, the road guidance element 150 may be located in the center 104 of the road container 100 for the road mixture and located between the hatches 135. As shown, the guide member 150 preferably has inclined walls 151 that extend down to the hatches 135.

According to another aspect of the implementation of the mobile container 100 for the road mixture is made for self-loading paver 10 pavement. To facilitate loading of the mobile road container 100, as shown in FIG. 12, the bottom 100a of the mobile road container 100 may have a beveled edge 131 located along the bottom 100e and the rear wall 100d of the mobile road container 100. The chamfered edge 131 assists in self-loading the transportable container for the road mixture 100 onto the conveyor section 30 for loading the container, which can be pushed in or placed under the chamfered edge 131 and then the bottom 100a of the transportable container for the road mixture.

As shown in figures 8A, 8B and 17, the bottom 100e of the mobile container for the road mixture may also have several protrusions or recesses 133, which are joined with the corresponding protrusions or recesses 33 on the belt or chain drive 32 of the conveyor section 30 for loading the container during self-loading . As shown, several protrusions or recesses 133 may be linearly aligned along opposite edges of the bottom 100a and, in the case of protrusions, support a foldable, mobile container for the road mixture. In a preferred arrangement, several protrusions 133 are recessed or flush with the bottom surface of the central portion 104, which can act as a primary abutment surface to evenly distribute the weight of the road transport container 100 and its contents. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that in embodiments where the protrusions 133 are flush, the protrusions 133 can also function as partial support for the mobile container 100 for the road mixture and its contents.

Turning to FIG. 13, it can be seen that the outer surface of the mobile road container 100 may have signals 155 for controlling movement. As shown, the motion control signals 155 are preferably located on the rear side of the traveling mix container 100. The motion control signals 155 are preferably in the form of a programmable electronic display, as shown, but may also be within the scope of the present invention any kind of graphic signal, including magnetically attached or otherwise temporarily attached to the traveling mix container 100.

As shown in FIG. 18, the mobile road container 100 may include a radio frequency identification chip 160 and / or a GPS device 170 for tracking location in order to facilitate accurate location determination and to monitor location and condition, for example, is filled with road mixture, freed from the road mixture, the folded position, the extended position of the mobile container 100 for the road mixture.

Preferably, the expedient construction of the road mixture container 100 has the advantage of a space-saving folding design and an integrated motion control system that reduces the need for additional expensive equipment. Additionally, radio frequency tags (RFIDs) integrated in each mobile mortar container 100 facilitate the correct positioning of the filled mobile mortar containers 100 and enable tracking of the entire paving process. The mixture inside the preferred transportable container 100 for the road mixture is thus “enclosed in six walls” and is thus thermally insulated so that only slight heat loss occurs during transport and preparation operations before use. Additionally, and in cases where heat loss is not a problem, the unit is very valuable due to its ability to prevent mechanical segregation during transportation and delivery of the mixture to the pavement stacker 10. The bottom 100a has discharge hatches 135 that open when the preferred transportable road container 100 is placed on the loading hopper / conveyor 43 of the section 40 for unloading the mixture. The lower 1000a, the upper 100b and the side walls 100e and 100f of the preferred movable mortar container are telescopically extendable to receive the full mix and fold after emptying to facilitate return.

During the paving process, the pavement stacker 10 is configured with tilted conveyor sections 30, 50 in the unfolded positions 30b, 50b and caterpillar tracks 20 released. The loaded mobile containers for the road mixture 100 are delivered to the paving site and lined up for selection stacker 10 pavement. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the mobile containers 100 for the road mixture can be delivered and arranged in accordance with a GPS-coordinated placement strategy, which will allow the styling process to be carried out non-stop, so that there will be no need to worry about coating defects resulting from lowering the tamper when simple. Preferably, a large number of mobile mix containers 100 can be placed on the surface to be coated at predetermined intervals, the interval sizes being set in accordance with the amount of road surface formed from the mix in the mobile mix containers 100. In a preferred arrangement, the size of the intervals can be set to exactly match the amount of pavement formed from the road mixture in the mobile containers 100 for the road mixture.

After the mobile road mix containers 100 are placed along the surface to be coated, the road surface stacker picks up and loads the mobile road mix container 100 onto the front inclined conveyor section 30 and moves it to the container conveyor 43 of the mixture discharge section 40, where the mixture is unloaded from the mobile container 100 of the road mixture. Hatches 135 can be opened at the same time or the main discharge door 135 can be opened first and then, when the mobile container 100 for the road mixture is completely moved to the container conveyor 43, the second door 135 can be opened.

After the unloading from the mobile container 100 for the road mixture is completed, the pavement stacker 10 compresses the mobile containers 100 to the folded position shown in FIG. 8B. At the same time, another transportable container for the road mixture 100 can be picked up by the front conveyor section 30 and moved to the section 40 for unloading the mixture on which the road mixture is unloaded.

When the first mobile road mix container 100 becomes empty and the road stacker 10 completes the folding / compressing operation, the conveyor section 43 moves the folded mobile road mix container 100 to the rear inclined conveyor section 50 for unloading from the stacker for return and reuse. While the second movable road container 100 for loading the mixture continues to unload its contents on the loading hopper / conveyor 43 and folds, the third can be picked up by the front inclined conveyor section 30 and moved to the position for unloading the batch of the mixture.

The ability to continuously unload the mixture from the mobile container 100 of the road mixture in combination with the large capacity of the conveyor / hopper 43 may, in a preferred embodiment, facilitate a non-stop or continuous paving operation. A wide deck conveyor 43 can transport the road mixture from the funnel to the screw chamber. Then the screw 12 can be equipped with radial turns with variable pitch and speed for distributing the mixture to the sides up to the selected coating width immediately in front of the high density tamper 13, which can also be adjusted in width.

The operator can monitor and regulate all paving functions from the control interface 25. The pavement stacker 10 may collect information from all operating systems for real-time local or remote process control. The pavement stacker 10 can use this information for real-time communication with the road mix production plant and any 100 container-delivering vehicles that transport containers from the factory to the work site. The control interface 25 may include a windshield display that shows operating parameters, including translational speed, coating width, coating thickness, and others.

Referring to FIG. 19, one can see a feedback loop 200 according to one embodiment of the invention. As shown, pavement density values can be monitored by a suitable sensor 201. These stiffness indicators or density values can be obtained using a large number of measurement methods, including, but not limited to, accelerometers, radioisotope density meters and / or non-radioisotope resistance meters. This data can be obtained over the entire width of the coating 300. The data can be displayed, stored, transmitted and used as part of the feedback loop 200 to make real-time changes to the operation of the tamper with variable compaction force, that is, to control the pressure or the impact force of the tamper 13 on the pavement 300 to achieve the desired density of the pavement. As an example, but not limitation, one or more electronic devices 202 can be used that receive output signals from sensors 201 and which automatically control the force 205 of the impact of the tamper 13 on the pavement 300. Alternatively or additionally, density data can be output to display 203 and the operator can make manual adjustments.

In addition to the sliding screws 12 for even distribution in front of the high density tamper 13, as shown in Figures 20A and 20B, the tamper 13 can have several parts, including a central main tamper 13a with primary and secondary extensions 13b and 13c on the left and right side of the main tamper 13a. The main part of the tamper and all four extensions are rammers 15 high density in their front parts, and also have high-frequency vibrators 16 in the rear. The action of the tampers is to effectively remove air voids in the deep parts of the laid sections of the road surface, the vibrators are adapted to effectively remove voids near the surface of the road surface, and also help to achieve maximum smoothness characteristics. The main tamper 13a can be adjusted to create negative or positive protrusions on the surface of the pavement 300 and can be adjusted without limitation with respect to the angle of attack. Each extension 13b, 13c can be independently adjusted with respect to the slope as well as the angle of attack. One or more electronic devices 202 or an operator can adjust the course of the tampers 15 and the frequency of the vibrators 16 in accordance with the measurements of the rigidity of the pavement 300 recorded under the main tamper 13a and under each individual extension 13b, 13c.

In addition to the stiffness and / or density sensors 201, additional sensors 211, including but not limited to infrared and microwave sensors, can continuously monitor the surface of the pavement 300 and the temperature at the core of the pavement 300, this information can be stored in one or more electronic devices 202 along with stiffness and / or density information for documenting the paving process. The accuracy of determining the location of the data is achieved at the level of centimeters and can be monitored using the receiver of the global positioning system installed on the machine, which is connected to another GPS receiver located near the place of work. The operation of the pavement stacker 10 may be semi-automatic after the initial setup. One or more electronic devices 202 adjust the control system of the pavement stacker, its level and slope, the ramming stroke and the frequency of the vibrators located inside the main ramming beam 13 and any extension cords in such a way that manual intervention may not be required, and it will not be necessary to achieve proper compaction subsequent finishing with rollers.

Preferred aspects of the pavement stacker 10 maximize the amount of work performed without sacrificing quality, and greatly improve safety at the work site. Through the use of this methodology, the work area is significantly reduced in size, reducing traffic obstruction and increasing safety. The road transport container 100 may be equipped with signals 155 for controlling traffic on the rear walls 100c, 100d, which may include a system of illuminated arrows to indicate a safe detour for next traffic and hazard warning signs.

Since the system is fully suitable for driving on roads, it is no longer necessary to obtain permission to move bulky / heavy equipment. The use of continuous receipt, processing and unloading contributes to the continuous operation and, thereby, the elimination of coating defects caused by lowering the tamper and “truck bumps” onto it. With the preferred design option for the pavement stacker 10, the stacker and the process can be controlled by one person, unlike existing methods that require several operators, ranging from the operator of the pavement stacker, tamper, unloading operators, material transport vehicle (MTV) drivers, car operators for transportation of equipment, etc.

Moreover, while within the scope of the present embodiment, the pavement stacker 10 must be powered by a conventional diesel or gasoline engine, the pavement stacker 10 may include many “green” technologies. As an example, energy can be generated by integrated fuel cells or using hybrid electrical technology. The use of fuel cells can eliminate noise and smoke during the entire paving process. Additionally, the mixture may be quick set and contain an organic binder. In addition, the use of reusable folding mobile containers 100 for road mix also allows the reuse of raw materials on a large scale.
