Therefore, using the pipelines of the underground drainage system for telecommunication laying has become an economical means. It can be seen that the management of pipelines is one of the current focuses in the field of urban security. The main problems caused by pipelines are: first, pipeline resources are illegally occupied, and the cables and facilities in the pipelines are often stolen and damaged; second, the manhole covers are stolen or removed without being discovered in time, resulting in people and vehicles falling into the wells, causing casualties, etc. Traditional manhole cover management usually adopts manual inspection, but this method requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and is inefficient, and it is difficult to meet the management of massive manhole covers in the city. With the development of information technology, replacing manual inspections with automated devices has become a development trend. Summary of the invention

The abnormal movement detection unit for the manhole cover includes a second spring 7, the upper end of the second spring 7 is connected to the lower end of the horizontal portion 5, and the lower end of the second spring 7 is connected to the housing 1. By arranging the second spring 7, the force transmission component in the abnormal movement detection unit can be quickly reset after the force on the manhole cover is removed.

[0024] During the movement of the mechanical pressure rod in the housing 1, due to the uncertainty of the force direction, the mechanical pressure rod may tilt and get stuck in the housing 1 and cannot be used any more. Therefore, in order to avoid the above situation, a limit seat 8 with a limit groove is provided in the housing 1, and the mechanical pressure rod is provided in the limit groove of the limit seat 8, and the limit groove extends in the vertical direction.

The spring rubber sleeve 9 can play a role in dustproof and waterproof, and protect the internal structure of the abnormal movement detection unit. The housing 1 is provided with a first step and a first threaded portion, and the positioning ring 10 is provided with a flange that is buckled with the first step. The lower part of the spring rubber sleeve 9 extends horizontally to form a fixing portion, and the fixing portion is arranged between the first step and the flange. The positioning ring 10 is arranged on the outside of the housing 1 through the first threaded portion and makes the flange buckle the first step. The connection structure is simple, and fixing the spring rubber sleeve 9 is convenient and effective.

[0026] See also Figure 1 As shown, the spring rubber sleeve 9 forms a convex body 12 extending outward at the end abutting against the lower side of the manhole cover, and the contact surface between the convex body 12 and the manhole cover is larger than the diameter of the first spring 3, thereby increasing its force-bearing area.
