They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting the invention.

[0024] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a push-pull manhole cover, including a manhole frame 200 and a manhole cover 100, both of which are rectangular frames; the manhole cover 100 can be completely contained within or slide out of the manhole frame 200; the manhole frame 200 has two tracks extending in the front-to-back direction inside; the bottom of the manhole cover 100 has two support rods 107, which are inclined in the vertical direction; each support rod 107 has a roller 103 rotatably mounted at its bottom, the roller 103 being located in the track and capable of rolling back and forth along the track; the bottom of the manhole frame 200 has a rectangular base plate 202. 02 has an inner flange located inside the manhole frame 200. The manhole frame 200 has two bending plates 201 on the left and right sides inside. The vertical cross-section of the bending plate 201 is inverted L-shaped, and the L-shaped opening faces the left or right side wall of the manhole frame 200. The bending plate 201 is fixedly installed on the inner flange. Each track is formed by the inner flange, the bending plate 201 and the corresponding side wall of the manhole frame 200. The bending plate 201 has a support plate located above the roller 103. The support plate extends in the horizontal direction. There is a gap between the support plate and the side wall of the manhole frame 200. When the roller 103 rolls back and forth along the track, the support rod 107 slides along the gap, and the bottom of the manhole cover 100 slides along the support plate.

[0026] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the rollers 103 are in a suspended state when the push-pull manhole cover is in the closed state and the fully open state. As shown in Figure 4 , the rollers 103 roll on the rectangular bottom plate 202 when the push-pull manhole cover is in the opening state.

[0027] In this way, the manhole cover 100 can smoothly slide along the track when the push-pull manhole cover is in the opening state, and when the push-pull manhole cover is in the closed state or the fully open state, if there is a vehicle or pedestrian passing above the manhole cover 100, the gravity above the manhole cover 100 acts on the support plate of the bent plate 201 due to the suspended state of the rollers 103, thereby avoiding the rollers 103 bearing a large pressure above the manhole cover 100, and prolonging the service life of the push-pull manhole cover.

[0028] The rectangular bottom plate 202 also has an outwardly turned edge located outside the well frame 200. In use, the outwardly turned edge is placed on the ground, and concrete is poured on the outwardly turned edge and around the well frame 200, so that the well frame 200 can be stably fixed to the ground.

[0029] As shown in Figure 7 , the inside of the well frame 200 is also provided with an inclined plate 204, which corresponds to the left and right tracks at the same time, and the inclined plate 204 is inclined in the up-down direction. The rollers 103 can roll upwards along the inclined plate 204 after being separated from the track, and the lower end surface of the manhole cover 100 is provided with an inclined surface 106 which is in sliding cooperation with the inclined plate 204.

[0030] This arrangement facilitates the upward movement of the manhole cover 100 relative to the well frame 200, thereby achieving the opening of the manhole cover 100. Moreover, since the bottom of the manhole cover 100 is provided with only two rollers 103, compared with the prior art in which the bottom of the manhole cover is provided with four rollers, when the rollers 103 move onto the inclined plate 204, the manhole cover 100 is not easy to slide in the reverse direction.

[0031] The well frame 200 is also provided with two left and right limit plates 300, which correspond one-to-one to the bent plates 201 and are hinged to the respective corresponding bent plates 201, and the limit plates 300 can rotate around the front and rear axes, thereby achieving the limiting or unlocking of the support rods 107.

[0032] As shown in Figure 8 , the limit plate 300 is in the unlocked state. At this time, the manhole cover 100 can smoothly slide. As shown in Figure 9 , the limit plate 300 is in the locked state. At this time, the support rods 107 at the bottom of the manhole cover 100 are limited, so that the manhole cover 100 cannot slide.

[0033] As shown in Figure 7As shown, the side of the bent plate 201 close to the inclined plate 204 is only provided with a vertical plate, and the limiting plate 300 is located on the vertical plate of the side of the bent plate 201 close to the inclined plate 204. The limiting plate 300 is L-shaped. Since the roller 103 moves to the inclined plate 204 and then the manhole cover 100 is easily reversely slid under the action of gravity, the sliding of the support rod 107 is limited by the limiting plate 300, so that the reversely sliding of the manhole cover 100 can be avoided.

[0034] The limiting plate 300 is L-shaped, which is beneficial to better block the support rod 107.

[0035] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the manhole cover 100 is also provided with a handle 101 which is slidably arranged on the manhole cover 100 and used for pulling the manhole cover 100 to slide. The manhole cover 100 is provided with a hidden groove 105, and the handle 101 can be hidden in the hidden groove 105. By inserting a finger into the hidden groove 105, the handle 101 can be touched and pulled out.

[0036] As shown in Figure 12 , the handle 101 has two sliding rods 1011, and the inside of the manhole cover 100 is provided with a mounting hole extending in the up-down direction. The sliding rods 1011 can slide up and down along the mounting hole, and the mounting hole cannot pass the blocking rod 1012 on the sliding rod 1011, so that the handle 101 can be prevented from being separated from the manhole cover 100.

[0037] As shown in Figure 2 , the upper end surface of the manhole cover 100 is provided with a placing groove 102 which is used for placing a cement brick. In this way, after the manhole cover 100 is opened, the cement brick can be placed in the placing groove 102 to press down the manhole cover 100, so that the manhole cover 100 cannot slide and the safety of inspection can be ensured.

[0038] The bottom of the inclined plate 204 is provided with reinforcing ribs 203 which are distributed in the left-right direction. The reinforcing ribs 203 can strengthen the rigidity of the inclined plate 204, so that the well frame 200 is not easy to deform.

[0039] As shown in Figure 11 , the bottom of the manhole cover 100 is provided with a reinforcing plate 104 which is located between the left and right two tracks. The reinforcing plate 104 can strengthen the rigidity of the manhole cover 100, so that the manhole cover 100 is not easy to deform.

[0040] Preferably, the manhole cover 100 and the well frame 200 are both square-shaped, which is beneficial to processing.

[0041] In combination with the above embodiment, the use principle and working process of the embodiment of the application are as follows: In the initial state, as shown inFigure 3 As shown, the push-pull manhole cover is in a closed state, and the manhole cover 100 is completely accommodated in the well frame 200, and the roller 103 is in a suspended state.

[0042] Then, a mounting groove is dug on the ground, the push-pull manhole cover is horizontally placed in the mounting groove, the upper surface of the push-pull manhole cover is flush with the ground, and concrete is poured on the outer flange of the rectangular bottom plate 202 and the position around the well frame 200, so that the well frame 200 is stably fixed on the ground.

[0043] When the manhole cover 100 needs to be opened, the manhole cover 100 is pulled by the handle 101. As shown, the angle between the manhole cover 100 and the well frame 200 is first made to be 30°, and then the manhole cover 100 is pulled to make the roller 103 roll on the rectangular bottom plate 202. After the roller 103 slides out of the track, it rolls upward along the inclined plate 204, so that the manhole cover 100 is separated from the well frame 200. Then, the manhole cover 100 is rotated to a horizontal state, as shown, at this time, the bottom of the manhole cover 100 can be horizontally supported on the ground, and the roller 103 is in a suspended state again. Figure 4 Figure 5

[0044] Finally, the limiting plate 300 is rotated, so that the limiting plate 300 is rotated from the state of Figure 8 to the state of Figure 9 , so that the limiting plate 300 can limit the manhole cover 100, and avoid reverse sliding of the manhole cover 100.

[0045] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily, in order to make the description simple, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are not described, however, as long as the combinations of the technical features do not exist contradictory, it should be considered that it is within the scope of the present application.

[0046] The above-described embodiments only express several embodiments of the present application, the description is more specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as a limitation on the scope of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which are within the scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the appended claims.​​
