Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of manhole cover technology, and more particularly to a manhole cover with a filling port. Background Technology
[0002] Mobile pressure vessels typically have two connection ports on the cylinder: a manhole and a filling port.
[0003] For example, on March 1, 2017, a document with publication number CN2644368Y was disclosed, entitled "Manhole Cover with At Least Two Built-in Breathing Valves on Filling Cap." The document includes a manhole cover plate with a filling port. The filling port is fitted with a filling cap with emergency ventilation function. Below the filling cap are at least two built-in breathing valves that integrate breathing, tilting, overflow prevention, and flame arrestor functions. Above the filling cap with the breathing valves are an upper pressure plate and a lower pressure plate. One end of the upper and lower pressure plates is hinged to the manhole cover plate. The filling cap and the lower pressure plate are connected by bolts 7 and supported by springs. The upper and lower pressure plates are locked together. However, during manual opening of the filling cap, when the operator opens the locking device of the upper and lower pressure plates, the spring force between the lower pressure plate and the filling cap causes the lower and upper pressure plates to rapidly flip upwards, potentially causing injury to the operator. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a manhole cover with a filling port to solve the problem of easy injury to workers.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a manhole cover with a filling port, comprising a manhole cover body, a filling port eccentrically located on the manhole cover body, a filling cover movably connected to the filling port, a handle on the filling cover, a mating groove on the side wall of the filling cover, and a fastener on the manhole cover body that mates with the mating groove. The filling cover is fixedly locked by the engagement of the fastener and the mating groove.

[0017] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a manhole cover with a filling port includes a manhole cover body 1, a filling port 2 eccentrically located on the manhole cover body 1, a filling cover 3 movably connected to the filling port 2, a handle 9 on the filling cover 3, a mating groove 8 on the side wall of the filling cover 3, and a fastener 5 on the manhole cover body 1 that mates with the mating groove 8. The fastener 5 and the mating groove 8 work together to securely lock the filling cover 3, ensuring a reliable seal during filling. The handle 9 has a through opening in its center, and a rotating annular latch 10 hinged to the manhole cover body 1 on one side of the handle 9. The end of the buckle arm 10 is provided with a through hole 11. The manhole cover body 1 is provided with a vertical hole. A through rod 15 that cooperates with the through hole 11 is provided in the vertical hole. A movable plate 12 is provided inside the manhole cover body 1. A movable component is connected to one end of the movable plate 12. An inclined strip 13 is provided on the side wall of the movable plate 12. An inclined groove 14 that cooperates with the inclined strip 13 is provided on the through rod 15. The movable component is used to control the horizontal left and right movement of the movable plate 12. Through the cooperation of the inclined strip 13 and the inclined groove 14, the through rod 15 is driven to move upward to enter or downward to move out of the through hole 11, so that the rotating annular buckle arm 10 is locked or loosened in cooperation with the vertical hole.
[0018] The filling cap 3 is rotated to cover the filling port 2. When it is necessary to lock the filling cap 3, the filling cap 3 can be fixed and locked by the cooperation of the fastener 5 and the mating groove 8, ensuring reliable sealing during the filling process. In addition, at this time, the vertical hole is located in the through hole of the handle 9. The moving part is used to control the moving plate 12 to move horizontally to the left. The cooperation of the inclined strip 13 and the inclined slide groove 14 drives the through rod 15 to move upward and pass into the through hole 11, so that the rotating ring buckle arm 10 cooperates with the vertical hole to lock, thereby realizing the fixed locking of the filling cap 3. During this process, the filling cap 3 will not suddenly lift up. While realizing the fixed locking of the filling cap 3, the safety performance of the staff is improved, and it is convenient for the staff to safely open the filling cap 3 later.
[0019] The movable component can move the cylinder. The movable cylinder can be driven by electric, pneumatic or hydraulic means. The extension and retraction of the movable cylinder is used to control the horizontal left and right movement of the movable plate 12.
[0020] The filling cover 3 is provided with rotating shafts 16 on both sides of the manhole cover body 1. Each rotating shaft 16 is connected to a rotating pressure plate 17. The lower end face of the rotating pressure plate 17 away from the rotating shaft 16 is provided with a protrusion 18 for pressing the filling cover 3. Rotating the rotating pressure plate 17 to the upper end face of the filling cover 3 can further press the filling cover 3, reducing the risk of the filling cover 3 being opened.
[0021] The upper surface of the filling cap 3 is provided with a fixed limiting block 19 that cooperates with one side of the protrusion 18. The filling cap 3 is slidably provided with a movable limiting block 20 that cooperates with the other side of the protrusion 18. The filling cap 3 is provided with a slide rail 21 for sliding the movable limiting block 20. The protrusion 18 and the fixed limiting block 19 are cooperated with each other. The rotating pressure plate 17 is arranged parallel to the slide rail 21. The movable limiting block 20 cooperates with the protrusion 18. The movable limiting block 20 is provided with a screw. The slide rail 21 is provided with multiple screw holes that cooperate with the screw to lock the rotating pressure plate 17. Rotating the rotating pressure plate 17 to the upper surface of the filling cap 3 can further press the filling cap 3, reducing the risk of the filling cap 3 being opened.
[0022] The slide rail 21 is equipped with two movable limiting blocks 20 that are respectively engaged with two protrusions 18. The filling cover 3 is equipped with a control component, which includes a control motor. The output end of the control motor is connected to a rotating shaft. Two threaded sections with opposite thread directions are respectively provided on both sides of the rotating shaft. The two threaded sections are respectively sleeved with the two movable limiting blocks 20. When the two rotating pressure plates 17 rotate to the upper end of the filling cover 3 and both protrusions 18 are engaged with the fixed limiting block 19, the two movable limiting blocks 20 are controlled to move in opposite directions by the control component until the movable limiting blocks 20 are engaged with one side of the protrusions 18. This restricts the rotation of the rotating pressure plates 17 and reduces the risk of the filling cover 3 being accidentally opened.
[0023] The fastener 5 includes a fastening shaft 6 disposed on the manhole cover body 1. A fastening cam 7 is disposed on the fastening shaft 6. The protrusion of the fastening cam 7 is engaged with the mating groove 8. A driving component is disposed on the fastening shaft 6. The driving component controls the rotation of the fastening shaft 6, so that the protrusion of the fastening cam 7 is screwed into the mating groove 8, thereby fixing and locking the filling cover 3. The driving component can be a fastening motor disposed on the manhole cover body 1.
[0024] The lower end face of the filling cap 3 is provided with a cap ring 4, and the manhole cap body 1 is provided with an annular groove that cooperates with the cap ring 4. The cap ring 4 is provided with a sealing ring, which facilitates the improvement of the sealing performance at the filling port 2 and reduces the possibility of medium leakage.
[0025] The filling cap 3 is installed on the manhole cover body 1 by fasteners 5, combining the manhole and filling hole into one, reducing the number of openings on the container, while also ensuring the container's usage requirements.
