DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0035] The following will be combined with 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.
[0036] Example 1
[0037] Combination Figure 1-6 As shown, an anti-theft passive manhole cover comprises a cover body 1, a fixing ring 2 and a key 4, wherein the fixing ring 2 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the manhole, a locking mechanism is arranged on the lower side of the cover body 1, a control assembly is installed on the lower side surface of the cover body 1, the control assembly comprises a third installation box 14, a control module 24 and a first plug 25, the third installation box 14 is installed on the lower side surface of the cover body 1, the control module 24 is installed in the third installation box 14, two first plugs 25 are arranged on the top of the control module 24, two first jacks 6 are opened on the bottom of the key 4, a battery is arranged inside the key 4, the control module 24 is electrically connected to the locking mechanism, and a protective partition 11 is arranged on the top of the third installation box 14;
[0038] The anti-theft passive manhole cover does not contain a power supply and does not require an external power supply line.
[0039] The protective partition 11 is in a horizontally closed state. When the key 4 is inserted, the protective partition 11 opens. A through unlocking hole is provided on the cover body 1, and the top of the protective partition 11 is opposite to the unlocking hole. When the manhole cover needs to be opened, the key 4 can be inserted from the unlocking hole.
[0040] Two side panels 20 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the top of the third installation box 14, and the first installation box 10 is fixedly connected between the two side panels 20. Two elastic members 22 are installed in the first installation box 10. A trapezoidal plate 23 is slidably arranged in the first installation box 10, and one side of the trapezoidal plate 23 is inclined upward, and one end of the inclined surface protrudes from the opening of the first installation box 10. The trapezoidal plate 23 connects the two elastic members 22, and the protective partition 11 is rotatably installed on the first installation box 10 through a torsion spring shaft. A connecting plate 21 is fixedly connected to the third installation box 14, and the connecting plate 21 contacts the protective partition 11.
[0041] The lower side surface of the protective partition 11 contacts the upper plane of the trapezoidal plate 23. The width of the trapezoidal plate 23 is greater than the width of the protective partition 11. Two insertion slits 28 are formed on both sides of the protective partition 11 that are shorter than the trapezoidal plate 23. Two insert pieces 5 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the key 4. The lower end edge of the insert piece 5 is a bevel, and the bevel as a whole is an oblique arc protruding downward.
[0042] When the manhole cover is in the closed state, since the lower surface of the protective partition 11 fits the upper plane of the trapezoidal plate 23, when the protective partition 11 rotates downward, it will be blocked by the upper plane of the trapezoidal plate 23 and the protective partition 11 cannot be opened downward. Therefore, the protective partition 11 forms an effective protection for the interior in the keyless state, and the protective partition 11 can only be opened by inserting the key 4, thereby further improving safety.
[0043] When the manhole cover needs to be opened, the handheld key 4 is inserted downward into the unlocking hole, and first the two insert pieces 5 are inserted downward from the insertion slots 28 on both sides;
[0044] Then, the lower arc-shaped oblique edges of the two plugs 5 will abut against the inclined surface of the trapezoidal plate 23, and then as the plug 5 continues to move downward, the plug 5 will abut against the trapezoidal plate 23, and the trapezoidal plate 23 will be subjected to pressure from the plug 5. During the descent of the protruding arc-shaped oblique surface of the plug 5, the trapezoidal plate 23 will be pushed toward one side of the elastic member 22, thereby compressing the elastic member 22, and the trapezoidal plate 23 slides in the first installation box 10, and then the protruding part of the trapezoidal plate 23 shrinks into the first installation box 10, that is, the trapezoidal plate 23 leaves from under the protective partition 11, and the protective partition 11 can be rotated downward, thereby, as the key 4 is further pressed downward, the protective partition 11 will be pressed downward, and then the protective partition 11 will be rotated downward to open, and the key 4 is inserted into the third installation box 14, and then the first plug 25 and the second plug 26 are respectively inserted into the first jack 6 and the second jack 7.
[0045] Further, the first plug 25 is inserted into the first jack 6 to form an electrical connection.
[0046] Two second jacks 7 are provided at the bottom of the key 4 , and two second plugs 26 are provided on the control module 24 . The second plugs 26 are inserted into the second jacks 7 to transfer the unlocking key and the unlocking authorization information.
[0047] The processor in the control module 24 receives the power provided by the battery of the key 4 and starts running, and then receives the unlocking key and unlocking authorization information through the second plug 26. After the information is verified correctly, the control module 24 can send an electrical signal to the locking mechanism, the locking mechanism opens, and then the manhole cover can be opened, completing the high-security unlocking of the passive manhole cover.
[0048] The contact surface between the connecting plate 21 and the protective partition 11 is an inclined surface to improve the sealing performance.
[0049] The key 4 can be charged regularly. Every time the manhole cover needs to be opened, the computer will input the timed unlocking authorization information into the key 4. Even if the key 4 is lost, the authorization will automatically expire and the manhole cover cannot be opened.
[0050] In addition, the protective partition 11 closes the lock hole, so that thieves cannot damage the core components of the locking mechanism and cannot open the manhole cover without power supply and authorization.
[0051] Passive manhole covers activate the smart lock mechanism through external power supply, eliminating the risk of failure caused by aging or damage of the built-in battery, reducing maintenance costs and frequency, and improving the stability and reliability of the system.
[0052] Security is further enhanced to prevent illegal opening, and since there are no internal power supply wearing parts, the system can maintain good durability in harsh environments such as moisture and corrosion.
[0053] Example 2
[0054] Combination Figure 1-12 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that: the locking mechanism includes a second mounting box 13, the second mounting box 13 is mounted on the lower side of the cover body 1, a torsion motor 15 is mounted in the second mounting box 13, the output shaft of the torsion motor 15 is fixedly connected to a triangular connecting piece 16, the three branches of the triangular connecting piece 16 are respectively hinged to three connecting rods 17, the ends of the three connecting rods 17 away from the triangular connecting piece 16 are respectively hinged to three locking rods 18, the lower side of the cover body 1 is fixedly connected to three limit plates 19, the three locking rods 18 are respectively inserted into the circular holes of the three sliding limit plates 19, and the locking rods 18 are located on the lower side of the fixing ring 2.
[0055] In the locked state, the locking rod 18 is located at the lower side of the fixing ring 2. At this time, the locking rod is pressed against the lower side by the fixing ring 2, thereby effectively fixing and locking the manhole cover so that the manhole cover cannot be opened upward.
[0056] In this embodiment, the control module 24 sends an electrical signal to the locking mechanism to unlock, wherein the torsion motor 15 drives the triangular connecting piece 16 to rotate, and then the triangular connecting piece 16 drives the three connecting rods 17 to move, and the connecting rod 17 pulls the locking rod 18 toward the center of the circle, and then the locking rod 18 leaves from the bottom of the fixed ring 2, releasing the locked state, and then the manhole cover can be opened upwards.
[0057] A mounting ring 12 is installed at the lower part of the cover body 1. The locking mechanism and the control components are located on the inner side of the mounting ring 12. The locking rod 18 extends out from the ring of the mounting ring 12. The mounting ring 12 protects the components inside.
[0058] Two handles 3 are symmetrically mounted on the cover body 1, and the manhole cover can be directly lifted upward to open.
[0059] It also includes a sealing cover 8 and a fixing bolt 9. A sealing ring 27 is provided on the upper edge of the lock hole. One end of the sealing cover 8 is hinged to the cover body 1. The sealing cover 8 covers the upper side of the sealing ring 27. The sealing cover 8 is fixed to the cover body 1 by the fixing bolt 9.
[0060] In the normal closed state, the sealing cover 8 is in a closed state, and the fixing bolts 9 are tightened. In the case of theft of the manhole cover, the fixing bolts 9 are broken and opened, and then the lock hole is protected by a protective partition 11, which makes it impossible to open the lock, and it is also impossible to insert a crowbar or other lock-picking objects;
[0061] Furthermore, the thief does not have a corresponding matching power supply and cannot power the manhole cover, and the thief does not have the secret key and authorization information. Therefore, the multiple protections effectively avoid the phenomenon of manhole cover theft.
[0062] The authorization information is time-sensitive and can also prevent the loss of the authorization card or other factors from causing the manhole cover to be lost or illegally opened. It can better reduce the risk of improper activation and theft of the manhole cover and better protect the property underground.
[0063] The authorization center can plan in advance all the manhole covers that need to be authorized and the authorization time. The staff only needs to bring the authorization card to the work site to open all the manhole covers that need maintenance, reducing the tedious work steps of repeated authorization.
[0064] The above-mentioned embodiments are described in a relatively detailed and specific manner, expressing the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are only used to illustrate the technical ideas and features of the present invention. The purpose is to enable technicians in this field to understand the contents of the present invention and implement them accordingly, but are not limited to the present invention. The patent scope of the present invention cannot be limited only by this embodiment, that is, any equivalent changes or modifications made to the spirit disclosed by the present invention, for researchers or technicians in this field, without departing from the structure of the present invention, local improvements within the system and changes and conversions between subsystems, etc., are still within the patent scope of the present invention.
