Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of manhole covers, and more particularly to a manhole cover opening device. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the unprecedented development of urban construction and the continuous laying of lines such as telecommunications, electricity, water supply and drainage pipelines, the use of manholes has been increasing. In order to be firm and anti-theft, manhole covers are made with heavy quality and installed tightly. Due to the large self-weight of the manhole cover, when it is rolled over by heavy vehicles during temporary traffic, it fits tightly with the wellbore. When the pipeline needs to be maintained or an emergency occurs and the manhole cover needs to be opened, it is often impossible to open it immediately, and the work plan cannot be carried out on time, seriously affecting work efficiency, so an opening device is needed.

[0003] In order to facilitate the staff to open the manhole cover and prevent the influence of the raised surface of the manhole cover on pedestrians. An opening hole is provided on the surface of the existing manhole cover, and the opening hole penetrates through the manhole cover. When the staff needs to open the manhole cover, a pull rod or the like is used to extend into the wellbore from the opening hole to hook and lift the manhole cover. However, due to safety considerations, the diameter of the opening hole is relatively short, and the hook is not easy to insert. When the hook is inserted into the opening hole and hooks the manhole cover, since the hook cannot clamp the manhole cover, the hook is easily slipped out of the opening hole during the opening process of the manhole cover, resulting in the failure of opening the manhole cover, and it may also damage the manhole cover.

[0017] (III) Beneficial effects

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a manhole cover opening device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. By arranging a movable rod on the hook, a plurality of clamping rods and a second spring are arranged on the movable rod, each second spring is located in a vertical groove, and a limit block is arranged at the bottom end of the vertical groove. When the hook is inserted into the hole of the manhole cover, the clamping rod can be squeezed into the vertical groove by the wall of the manhole cover. After the hook is fully inserted into the hole of the manhole cover, the plurality of clamping rods are spread open by the elastic force of the second spring, so as to play a role of limiting, thereby preventing the hook from being separated from the manhole cover when the manhole cover is pulled up;

[0020] 2. By setting a component to push the hook out of the hole of the manhole cover, when the manhole cover is placed on the ground, the extrusion rod is squeezed and moves upward, the tooth plate moves up with the extrusion rod, and the tooth plate rotates with the gear, thereby causing multiple gear grooves to move downward, thereby causing the movable rod to move downward. Similarly, under the squeezing of the limit block, the clamping rod is again received into the vertical groove. Without the restriction of the clamping rod, the hook is squeezed out of the hole of the manhole cover, and the operator does not need to operate again, which is more convenient for the placement of the manhole cover;

[0021] 3. By setting a rotating bracket for adjusting the direction of the hook, the base rod can rotate in the placement slot through the action of the rotating slot and the rotating slider. After the manhole cover is pulled up, the lever is rotated horizontally to open the manhole cover from the pipe opening without the need for operators to move it, further reducing the workload of operators;

[0022] 4. Through the setting of the fixed structure, the lever can be fixed after the left and right lengths of the lever are adjusted. The setting of the first spring can press the rotating plate to rotate downward, thereby pressing the lock block into the lock groove. When the lever is rotated left and right, the lock groove can rotate left and right to push the lock block upward. Without the restriction of the lock block, the position of the lever can be adjusted back and forth so that the hook member can be adjusted above the manhole cover hole.

[0039] Embodiment 1:

[0040] Please combine Figures 1 to 9As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a manhole cover opening device. A manhole cover opening device includes a hook member 7. A plurality of vertical grooves 702 are formed in the hook member 7. A movable rod 701 is slidably connected to the hook member 7. A plurality of hinge members are provided on the movable rod 701. Clamping rods 703 are rotatably connected to the plurality of hinge members. A second spring 704 is installed on the side wall between the clamping rod 703 and the movable rod 701. Limit blocks 705 are fixedly connected to the bottom side walls of the plurality of vertical grooves 702. A receiving cavity 706 is formed in the hook member 7. One end of the movable rod 701 extends into the receiving cavity 706. A third rotating rod 708 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the receiving cavity 706. A gear 709 is fixedly connected to the third rotating rod 708. The gear 709 is meshed with a toothed plate 710. A pressing rod 711 is fixedly connected to the bottom side wall of the toothed plate 710. The pressing rod 711 slides up and down in the receiving cavity 706 through a sliding member. A plurality of gear grooves 707 are formed in the movable rod 701. The plurality of gear grooves 707 are arranged vertically and equidistantly. The plurality of gear grooves 707 are meshed with the gear 709. A connecting rope 6 is provided at the upper end of the hook member 7. One end of the connecting rope 6 is provided with a lever 5. A rotating bracket is provided on the lever 5;

[0041] When in use, the hook member 7 is directly inserted into the hole on the manhole cover. Under the extrusion of the inner wall of the hole, the unfolded clamping rods 703 will rotate inward simultaneously, and the second spring 704 is forced to compress. When the clamping rods 703 are completely inserted into the manhole cover hole, under the elastic force of the second spring 704, the plurality of clamping rods 703 will expand outward, and the clamping rods 703 abut against the side walls around the manhole cover hole, so as to play a limiting role and prevent the hook member 7 from separating from the manhole cover hole when opening the cover. Then, under the position limitation of the limit block 705, when the manhole cover is lifted, the gravity of the manhole cover will not press the clamping rod 703 to continue moving downward. When the manhole cover is placed on the ground, the pressing rod 711 contacts the ground first. The gravity of the manhole cover has a downward pressing force on the pressing rod 711, causing the pressing rod 711 to move upward. While the pressing rod 711 moves upward, it drives the toothed plate 710 to move, so that the gear 709 meshed with the toothed plate 710 rotates. Further, under the action of the gear groove 707, the movable rod 701 is driven to move downward. The downward movement of the movable rod 701 drives the clamping rod 703 to move together. The clamping rod 703 moves closer to the movable rod 701 under the extrusion of the side wall of the limit block 705, so that the clamping rod 703 is received into the vertical groove 702. Without the restriction of the clamping rod 703, the hook member 7 will move out of the manhole cover hole, and the manhole cover will directly fall off.

[0042] On the basis of Embodiment 1, the solution in Embodiment 1 is further refined and introduced in combination with the following specific working methods. For details, see the following description.

[0043] Embodiment 2:

[0044] The rotating bracket includes a fixed base 1, a base rod 2, two mounting plates 3 and a connecting sleeve 4. The fixed base 1 and the two mounting plates 3 are respectively located at both ends of the base rod 2. A first placement groove 101 is formed on the fixed base 1, and a rotating groove 102 is formed on the first placement groove 101. Two rotating sliders 103 are arranged in the rotating groove 102, and the two rotating sliders 103 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the base rod 2. The two mounting plates 3 are arranged in an L shape, and a first rotating rod 301 is rotatably connected to the side walls between the two mounting plates 3. The opposite side walls of the two first rotating rods 301 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting sleeve 4. The lever 5 is slidably arranged in the connecting sleeve 4, and a fixing structure is provided on the connecting sleeve 4;

[0045] The setting of the rotating bracket serves the function of using the rotating bracket as a rotation fulcrum for the lever 5 to open the manhole cover. By pressing down on the lever 5 at one end of the principle hook member 7, the manhole cover can be lifted with a very small force. Since the base rod 2 is rotatably connected to the fixed base 1 through the rotating sliders 103, after the manhole cover is lifted, the lever 5 can be rotated, so that the manhole cover can be rotated to one side of the pipeline, and there is no need to use manual handling anymore.

[0046] Embodiment Three:

[0047] The fixing structure includes a second placement groove 401 formed on the connecting sleeve 4. A second rotating rod 402 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the second placement groove 401. A rotating plate 403 is fixedly connected to the second rotating rod 402. A locking block 405 is fixedly connected to the bottom side wall of the rotating plate 403. A first spring 404 is fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the rotating plate 403. One end of the first spring 404 is fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the second placement groove 401. A plurality of locking grooves 501 are formed on the lever 5, and the plurality of locking grooves 501 are arranged horizontally and equidistantly. The left and right side walls of the locking block 405 are both inclined.

[0048] By rotating the lever 5 clockwise or counterclockwise, the side walls of the locking block 405 are subjected to the extrusion force of the side walls of the rotating locking grooves 501, so that the locking block 405 moves upward and moves out of the locking groove 501. At this time, the lever 5 can be moved back and forth to adjust the lengths of the levers 5 on both sides of the connecting sleeve 4, and further move the hook member 7 above the manhole cover hole. Moreover, such an adjustment method can also adjust the force used for opening the cover later. The longer the length of the lever 5 away from the hook member 7, the more labor-saving. When fixing the lever 5, rotate the locking groove 501 below the locking block 405. The first spring 404 can push the rotating plate 403 downward, so as to press the locking block 405 in the locking groove 501, thereby preventing the lever 5 from sliding back and forth;

[0049] A ball groove 104 is formed on the bottom side wall of the placement groove 101. The ball groove 104 is arranged in a ring shape. A plurality of balls 105 are arranged in the ball groove 104. The plurality of balls 105 are in contact with the bottom side wall of the base rod 2. Since the balls 105 perform rolling motion rather than sliding rotation in the ball groove 104, the frictional resistance is greatly reduced, making the rotation of the base rod 2 smoother.

[0050] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not impose any form of limitation on the present invention; any ordinary technician in the industry can smoothly implement the present invention according to the illustrations in the specification and the above description; however, any minor changes, modifications, and equivalent variations made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention by using the technical content disclosed above are all equivalent embodiments of the present invention; at the same time, any equivalent changes, modifications, and variations made to the above embodiments based on the essence of the present invention still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
