Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of road construction technology, and in particular to a road surface drainage device during the construction period of a highway reconstruction and expansion project. Background Technology
[0002] With the advancement of science and technology and the rapid development of the economy and society, people's living standards are constantly improving, and high-speed travel is becoming more and more frequent, necessitating the expansion of road capacity to meet people's travel needs. Expanding existing highway lanes not only saves costs but also tests technology. Due to the low rapid drainage capacity of highways, heavy rainfall during construction can cause large amounts of water to accumulate on the highway surface. If this water cannot be drained in time, it will greatly affect the construction progress.
[0003] When existing roads are being drained, the water flow causes garbage or debris to fall into the drainage pipes. If there is too much garbage, it will cause blockage of the drainage pipes, resulting in water accumulation, which is very inconvenient for pedestrians or vehicles. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a road surface drainage device for highway reconstruction and expansion projects.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

The end of the locking rod extending out of the slot is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the opening.
[0009] Preferably, a movable groove is formed on the inner wall of the sliding hole away from the storage groove. A movable block is slidably installed in the movable groove. A first rotating shaft is rotatably installed at one end of the movable block. A connecting rod is rotatably installed at one end of the first rotating shaft. A second rotating shaft is rotatably installed at the other end of the connecting rod. The second rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the telescopic rod.

One end of the pull rod extends into the movable groove, and the other end extends out of the movable groove. The end of the pull rod extending into the movable groove is fixedly connected to the top of the movable block. A second spring is fixedly installed at the top of the movable block. The other end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the movable groove.
[0010] Preferably, the first sliding block and the second sliding block are provided with grooves on their respective sides, and the filter plate is provided with fixing grooves on both sides. A fixing rod is slidably installed in the fixing groove, one end of the fixing rod extends into the fixing groove, and the other end of the fixing rod extends into the groove. A third rotating shaft is rotatably installed on the bottom inner wall of the groove, and a rotating rod is rotatably installed on the third rotating shaft. The end of the fixing rod extending into the groove is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating rod.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0015] In this invention, a road surface drainage device for highway reconstruction and expansion projects, when blockage needs to be addressed, firstly, the pull rod is pulled upwards, causing the moving block to move upwards. The moving block then causes the first rotating shaft to rotate and move upwards. The first rotating shaft causes the connecting rod to rotate, which in turn causes the second rotating shaft to rotate and move horizontally. The second rotating shaft causes the telescopic rod to move horizontally, which in turn causes the opening and locking rod to move horizontally. The locking rod then disengages from the locking groove. Next, the sliding rod is moved upwards, causing the second sliding block to move upwards. The second sliding block causes the stop block to move upwards, which in turn causes the filter plate to move upwards. Then, the pressure rod is moved downwards, causing the thick rod to move downwards. The thick rod causes the thin rod to move downwards, which in turn causes the sixth rotating shaft to rotate and move downwards. The sixth rotating shaft causes the lever to rotate, which in turn causes the fourth rotating shaft to rotate. The fourth rotating shaft causes the short rod to rotate, which in turn causes the rotating rod to rotate. The rotating rod causes the fixed rod to rotate, disengaging from the fixing groove. The filter plate can then be removed, thus achieving the purpose of clearing the blockage.
[0016] This invention features a removable filter plate inside the drainage pipe. When a blockage occurs, the entire filter plate can be removed to clean the debris and impurities on it, greatly reducing the risk of drainage pipe blockage. Attached Figure Description
