[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of manhole covers, and in particular to a double semicircular opening and closing manhole cover with a latch. Background Art
[0002] Manhole covers are widely used in various urban infrastructure projects and pipe network intersection construction, such as water supply, drainage, septic tank, electricity, communications, gas, heat, etc. The pipes in these projects must have an outlet to the ground, and these outlets are often closed in the form of manhole covers, which plays a very important role in providing various basic services for the city. Manhole covers are usually made of reinforced cement, metal, reinforced plastic and other materials, and are mainly round and square in shape.
[0003] However, these manhole covers are relatively heavy, and it is extremely inconvenient for operators to open and close the manhole covers during use. When a corner of the manhole cover is crushed and damaged, the entire manhole cover must be replaced, resulting in a waste of personnel and resources and reducing construction efficiency. In addition, manhole covers are easily stolen or used for other purposes during use. When the manhole cover is separated from the manhole seat, it will cause a lot of trouble and inconvenience to pedestrians and vehicles on the road, causing injuries and harm to people. In serious cases, it will also cause traffic accidents such as injuries to people and vehicles, affecting social security and traffic order.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0026] Example 1
[0027] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a double semicircular opening and closing manhole cover with a latch includes a circular manhole cover and a manhole seat 4. The manhole cover is formed by two semicircular covers being relatively spliced together. The outer ends of the semicircular covers and the contact surfaces with the manhole seat 4 are respectively provided with corresponding matching one-piece hinges 3. The semicircular covers can freely rotate along the one-piece hinges 3 on the recessed hidden surface of the manhole seat 4, which can effectively prevent the manhole cover from being dismantled or stolen. The negative surfaces of the semicircular covers are relatively provided with splicing connectors 8. The splicing connectors 8 generate a holding force through a latch device to splice and fix the two semicircular covers. When in use, when one of the manhole covers is crushed and damaged, the operator only needs to replace the damaged half of the manhole cover, and does not need to replace all of them, saving manufacturing costs. At the same time, the double semicircular cover opening and closing design can effectively reduce the difficulty of the operator in opening and closing the manhole cover, avoiding the damage of the entire manhole cover due to being moved, facilitating inspection and maintenance, saving manpower and material resources, and improving construction efficiency.
[0028] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the latch device includes a lock hole 11, a closing latch rod 5, an unlocking latch rod 6 and a return spring 9. The spliced connecting piece 8 has aligned lock holes 11 formed therein. The two semicircular covers are respectively a half-closed cover 1 and a half-open cover 2. The negative side of the half-closed cover 1 is provided with a limit lock buckle 10 corresponding to the lock hole 11 and the closing latch rod 5 passes through the limit lock buckle 10 and is inserted into the aligned lock hole 11. The two semicircular covers can be spliced together and closed. A limit plate 7 is sleeved on one end of the closing latch rod 5 close to the lock hole 11, and the other end is bent downward at an angle of 135 degrees. The outer diameter of the limit plate 7 is larger than the inner diameter of the limit lock buckle 10, which can prevent the closing latch rod 5 from falling into the limit lock buckle 10. The negative side of the half-open cover 2 is provided with an unlocking latch rod 6 and two limiting lock buckles 10 corresponding to the lock holes 11. The unlocking latch rod 6 passes through the limiting lock buckle 10 and is inserted into the aligned lock holes 11 and completely pushes out the closing latch rod 5. The diameter of the unlocking latch rod is larger than the diameter of the closing latch rod, ensuring that the force of the unlocking latch rod completely covers the top of the closing latch rod and better pushes the closing latch rod. The unlocking latch rod 6 is sleeved with a return spring 9 between two limiting lock buckles 10. One end of the return spring 9 is fixed to the limiting lock buckle 10 close to the lock hole 11, and the other end is fixed to the unlocking latch rod 6. The outer diameter of the return spring 9 is larger than the inner diameter of the limiting lock buckle 10. The unlocking latch rod 6 automatically pops out of the lock hole 11 under the action of the return spring 9. The two semicircular covers can be separated and opened. The unlocking latch rod 6 is fixed to the return spring 9 through the limiting plate 7. The end of the unlocking latch rod 6 away from the lock hole 11 is bent downward at an angle of 135 degrees. The outer diameter of the limiting plate 7 is larger than the inner diameter of the limiting lock buckle 10, which can prevent the closing latch rod 5 from falling into the limiting lock buckle 10. The semicircular covers are respectively provided with lifting holes 12 corresponding to the positions of the closing latch rod 5 and the unlocking latch rod 6. Any rod can move the closing latch rod 5 and the unlocking latch rod 6 laterally through the lifting hole 12. The outer diameter of the rod is smaller than the inner diameter of the lifting hole 12. Figure 1As shown, the positive side of the half-closed cover 1 is affixed with a hole mark 13, and the positive side of the half-opened cover 2 is affixed with an opening mark 14, and the hole mark 13 and the opening mark 14 are respectively close to the corresponding lifting holes 12. The negative side of the manhole cover is provided with a latch device with high mechanical strength, so that thieves cannot detect the device and cannot steal the manhole cover, reducing the occurrence of pedestrian and vehicle accidents, improving the safety of urban traffic, and protecting personal safety and national property losses.
[0029] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the splicing connector 8 is divided into two layers, the upper layer is spliced in straight line, and the lower layer is spliced in bite splicing. The lower layer of the splicing connector 8 of the half-closed cover 1 is an arc-shaped bite splicing protrusion, and the lower layer of the splicing connector 8 of the half-open cover 2 is an arc-shaped bite splicing recess. The arc-shaped bite splicing protrusions and the arc-shaped bite splicing recesses of the two semicircular covers bite each other and are staggered and spliced, which increases the contact area of the splicing surfaces and enhances the bearing capacity of the manhole cover splicing. It is not easy to be overturned by vehicles and can effectively resist the crushing damage of overweight trucks.
[0030] Working principle:
[0031] When closing the manhole cover, the semicircular cover is rotated downward on the manhole seat 4 along the integrated hinge 3, and the two semicircular covers are relatively spliced together. The rod is used to vertically move through the lifting hole 12 on the half-closed cover 1, triggering the closing latch rod 5 to move horizontally toward the lock hole 11. The closing latch rod 5 is inserted into the aligned lock hole 11, and the latch device generates a supporting force to lock the manhole cover splicing.
[0032] When it is necessary to open the manhole cover for inspection, a rod is used to vertically move through the lifting hole 12 on the half-open cover 2, triggering the unlocking latch rod 6 to move horizontally toward the lock hole 11, the unlocking latch rod 6 is inserted into the aligned lock hole 11 and completely pushes out the closing latch rod 5, and then the rod is pulled out. The unlocking latch rod 6 automatically pops out of the lock hole 11 under the action of the return spring 9, the two semicircular covers are unlocked, and the semicircular covers are rotated upward along the integrated hinge 3 to the manhole seat 4, and the manhole cover can be opened.
[0033] Based on the above background, a double semicircular opening and closing manhole cover with a latch is now invented. It is not limited to circular manhole covers, but can also be used for irregular shapes such as square manhole covers and triangular manhole covers. In various urban infrastructure projects and various pipe network intersection constructions, the present invention has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, safety and reliability, effectively improves practicality and operability, and is easy to promote and use.
