壓路機

壓路機

約翰‧迪爾的壓路機，此機用以在鋪水尼前將路面壓實。

壓路機 (road roller) 是用來壓平柏油路面的工程車輛，前後輪有著巨大的滾輪。

型態

壓路機有著接地面積的大形車輪。且有五個不同型態的壓路機。分別是二滾輪式・馬達式・三輪式・迷你式・重機式。這五種的大小都不同、且使用方面也有差異。

自路輾到大規模範圍取决于它的重量effectiveness , self-powered vehicles replaced horse-drawn rollers from the mid 1800s. The first such vehicles were steam rollers. Double-cylinder designs were preferred. Single-cylinder steam rollers were uncommon and unpopular, as the power impulses from the steam engine would produce slight waves in the road. Some road companies in the United States used steamrollers through the 1950s, and in the UK, some remained in commercial service until the early 1970s.

As internal combustion engine technology improved during the 20th century, kerosene-, gasoline- (petrol), and diesel-powered rollers gradually replaced their steam-powered counterparts. The first internal-combustion powered road rollers were very similar to the steam rollers they replaced. They used similar mechanisms to transmit power from the engine to the wheels, typically large, exposed spur gears. Some companies did not like them in their infancy, as the engines of the era were typically difficult to start, particularly the kerosene-powered ones.

Virtually all road rollers in commercial use now use diesel power.

用途

壓路機利用機體的重量壓實表面。基版的初始壓實是藉由有著兩個橫列的氣胎的氣胎壓路機完成的，with a certain amount of vertical movement of the wheels, enables the roller to operate effectively on uneven ground. The finish is done using metal-drum rollers to ensure a smooth, even result.

壓路機亦用於垃圾掩埋場垃圾的壓實。這些壓路機的輪胎通常有著具有瘤狀的突起，且不用於製造光滑的路面。這些瘤狀突起因其與地面的接觸面積小而有助於壓實路面。

變種與特性

• 在一些機具中，滾輪會充水以達到理想的重量，當沒充水時，較輕的機具較容易在工作地點間運送且運費較便宜。
• 額外的壓實工作可能會藉由振動滾輪來完成，這使得較輕較小的機具亦能像較重的機具般表現。Vibration is typically caused by a free-spinning hydrostatic motor inside the drum to whose shaft eccentric weights have been attached.
• Water lubrication may be provided to the drum surface to avoid hot asphalt (for example) sticking to the drum
• Hydraulic transmission permits greater design flexibility — early examples were direct mechanical drive — and reduces the number of moving parts exposed to contamination.
• 人力壓路機可能只有一個滾筒。
• 自力壓路機(Self-propelled rollers)可能有兩個滾筒，其中一個在另一個的前方；它也可能只有一個滾筒，其中後面的滾筒被氣動胎所取代。

大眾文化中的壓路機

做為角色

Roley is one of the main vehicle characters in the children's books and TV series, Bob the Builder. He is a green roller with a cab, enclosed power unit and no chimney, and so is obviously diesel-powered — nevertheless, his official title is Roley the Steamroller. This is an example of the persistence of "steam roller" to describe a large modern road roller in layman's English.

On film — as a weapon

Film-makers seem to like the finality of a roller of some kind squashing a human. In most cases, however, the roller is not actually steam-powered, even though it is usually referred to as such. In all of the following examples, the rollers cited are diesel-powered.

• In The Naked Gun, the villain is run over first by a bus, then a steam roller and finally a marching band.
• In Who Framed Roger Rabbit the true identity of the villain is revealed after he is run over by a steam roller.
• At the end of A Fish Called Wanda, Ken (Michael Palin) gets his revenge on Otto (Kevin Kline) at Heathrow Airport, in a scene involving a small diesel roller and some wet concrete.
• In Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, a security guard is run over (in extremely slow motion) by a road roller.
• In Maximum Overdrive, a Little League player is killed by a "rebelling" steam roller (actually a 1979 Rex 700 diesel roller).
