Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to public facility appliances, in particular to a manhole cover with an anti-theft lock and a matching manhole seat. Background Art
[0002] Manhole covers are an indispensable part of urban infrastructure. They cover the entrances of underground facilities such as sewers and cable ducts to ensure the safety of pedestrians and vehicles. However, traditional metal manhole covers face a series of problems that are not only related to the city's image, but also to public safety.
[0003] First, metal manhole covers have poor anti-theft performance. Since metal materials have a certain economic value, they have become the target of thieves. Although special tools are designed to safely open manhole covers, these tools are not high-tech and can be easily counterfeited. Thieves use these counterfeit tools to easily open manhole covers and steal them, exposing underground facilities and posing safety hazards to pedestrians and vehicles. This situation is common in cities and poses a great challenge to urban management.
[0004] Faced with this problem, relevant departments began to explore the use of non-metallic materials to replace metal manhole covers. Non-metallic materials such as concrete and plastic can theoretically reduce the possibility of theft because they do not have the recycling value of metal. However, these non-metallic materials have also exposed new problems in practical applications. The main problem is insufficient strength. Non-metallic manhole covers are prone to cracking or damage when subjected to the heavy pressure of vehicles and pedestrians. This damage not only affects the service life of the manhole cover, but is also likely to cause serious safety accidents, such as pedestrians falling or vehicles getting stuck, causing casualties.
[0005] In addition, non-metallic manhole covers also have problems with durability. Metal manhole covers can usually withstand long-term wind, sun and vehicle rolling due to their material characteristics, while some non-metallic materials are easily affected by environmental factors such as corrosion and aging, which shortens the service life of manhole covers and increases the cost of maintenance and replacement.
[0006] In summary, although traditional metal manhole covers have anti-theft problems, their strength and durability are their advantages. Although non-metal manhole covers have improved in anti-theft, their strength and durability issues cannot be ignored. Therefore, finding a new manhole cover material that is both anti-theft and has sufficient strength and durability has become an urgent problem for urban managers and material scientists. Summary of the invention
[0007] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a manhole cover with an anti-theft lock and a matching manhole seat.
[0008] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: a manhole cover with an anti-theft lock and a matching manhole seat, including a manhole seat ring, a manhole cover, a lock head, and a cover opening tool: characterized in that: the manhole seat ring is fixed on the manhole seat, and a convex ring is provided on the inner wall of the manhole seat ring;
[0009] The manhole cover is provided with a circular through hole, and a strip through hole is provided on the side of the circular through hole; a limit groove is provided on the side of the circular through hole on the bottom surface of the manhole cover; a stopper and a rotating shaft are also provided on the bottom surface of the manhole cover; a circular platform and a rotating shaft bottom plate are provided at the lower end of the rotating shaft; the diameter of the manhole cover is 3 mm smaller than the inner diameter of the manhole seat ring formed by the inner wall, and at least 16 mm larger than the inner diameter of the convex ring;
[0010] The lock head is provided with a rotating shaft through hole, the lock head is rotatably connected with the rotating shaft, a shift block is provided at the upper end of the lock head, a lock head is provided at the lower end of the lock head, and a lock head cutting edge is provided on the lock head facing the outside of the manhole cover, with the lock head cutting edge on the upper side;
[0011] The spring ring is sleeved on the outer wall of the circular platform, one spring end is arranged on the back of the lock head, and the other spring end is inserted into the limiting hole on the outer wall of the circular platform for fixing;
[0012] Under the action of the spring coil, the lock head always pushes the shift block until it is blocked by the stop block and cannot move when there is no external force pushing it;
[0013] The vertical distance from the extended surface of the top surface of the lock head to the lock head cutting edge is 1.5 mm greater than the height of the convex ring;
[0014] The upper end of the cover opening tool is provided with a handle frame, and a handle is provided on the handle frame; the lower end of the cover opening tool is inclined to form a tool plug; the middle section of the cover opening tool is provided with a round cover and a convex head, and a spring sheet is provided under the round cover;
[0015] The diameter of the cover opening tool is smaller than the inner diameter of the circular through hole;
[0016] After the cover opening tool is inserted into the circular through hole and pressed downward and rotated 50 degrees clockwise, the convex head on the cover opening tool will fall into the limiting groove; in the absence of external force pressing downward, the cover opening tool is restricted by the limiting groove and cannot rotate left and right.
[0017] The manhole cover is in the shape of a perfect circle, and the thickness of the manhole cover is greater than or equal to the dimension from the top surface of the convex ring to the top surface of the manhole seat ring.
[0018] Place the manhole cover in the manhole seat ring. Under the action of the inclined surface below the locking edge, when the convex ring contacts the locking head, the weight of the manhole cover can force the locking head to rotate toward the middle of the manhole seat ring, and the locking head will not hinder the bottom surface of the manhole cover from being placed on the top surface of the convex ring. When the bottom surface of the manhole cover is placed on the top surface of the convex ring, the convex ring will lose its constraint on the locking head, and the locking head will reset and rotate to the bottom surface of the convex ring under the action of the spring ring, so that the manhole cover cannot be lifted directly upwards.
[0019] The tool plug under the cover opening tool can only be inserted through the gap left by the shift block under the circular through hole. After the tool plug is inserted into the circular through hole, the inclined surface under the cutting edge of the lock head will force the shift block to rotate in the direction approaching the convex ring, and the lock head will rotate in the direction away from the convex ring, and the lock head will be freed from the constraint of the convex ring.
[0020] The manhole cover and the components thereunder are made of rust-proof metal materials.
[0021] When opening the manhole cover from the manhole seat ring, two opening tools are needed to be inserted into any two circular through holes, and after pressing down and rotating clockwise so that the convex head is under the bottom surface of the manhole cover, the manhole cover can be lifted up.
[0022] The cover opening tool is inserted into the circular through hole, pressed down and rotated clockwise so that the convex head is under the bottom surface of the manhole cover. When the convex head is rotated counterclockwise until it contacts the lock head, the convex head will enter the strip through hole under the action of the spring sheet, and the cover opening tool can be pulled out from the circular through hole.
[0023] The technical solution of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0024] 1. Enhanced anti-theft performance:
[0025] This design includes a lock and a special cover opening tool, which means that the manhole cover can only be opened with the correct tool, greatly increasing the difficulty for thieves to steal the manhole cover.
[0026] The coordinated use of the lock and the pull block, as well as the automatic resetting function of the spring coil, makes the manhole cover impossible to open without special tools, effectively preventing illegal opening and theft.
[0027] 2. Improved security:
[0028] The diameter of the manhole cover is designed to be 3mm smaller than the inner diameter of the manhole seat ring and at least 16mm larger than the inner diameter of the convex ring. This size design ensures the correct fit between the manhole cover and the manhole seat ring and prevents the manhole cover from accidentally falling off.
[0029] The thickness of the manhole cover is designed to be greater than or equal to the dimension from the top surface of the convex ring to the top surface of the manhole seat ring, which increases the load-bearing capacity of the manhole cover and reduces the risk of damage due to heavy pressure from vehicles or pedestrians.
[0030] 3. Convenience of operation:
[0031] Once the manhole cover is closed in any position, it can be automatically locked to complete the closure of the manhole, which simplifies the operating procedures of the staff and improves work efficiency.
[0032] The design of the cover opening tool makes the operation easier and quicker when the manhole cover needs to be opened, thus reducing the labor intensity of the staff.
[0033] 4. Durability:
[0034] The manhole cover and its related components are made of rust-proof metal materials, which enhances the corrosion resistance and durability of the manhole cover, extends the service life of the product and reduces maintenance costs.
[0035] 5. Prevent accidental slippage:
[0036] The design of the cover opening tool ensures that there is no risk of slipping during use, thus improving the safety of the operation.
[0037] 6. Special tool design:
[0038] The special cover opening tool has a unique structure and size, and two of them are required to open the manhole cover. This not only improves the anti-theft effect, but also ensures that only authorized personnel can open and maintain the manhole cover.
[0039] 7. Prevent damage from traditional tools:
[0040] Traditional opening tools cannot be inserted into the through holes of this new type of manhole cover, thereby preventing the components under the manhole cover from being damaged.
[0041] In summary, the design of this anti-theft manhole ring and manhole cover has significantly improved anti-theft, safety, ease of operation, durability, etc., providing an effective solution for the maintenance and management of urban infrastructure. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
