[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a manhole cover locking device, including a support frame 10, a locking tongue assembly 20, and a limiting assembly 30. The support frame 10 is disposed at the bottom of the manhole cover 40. The locking tongue assembly 20 passes through the support frame 10 and is elastically connected to the support frame 10, with a locking tongue 21 at one end, which extends out of the support frame 10 and can reciprocate. The limiting assembly 30 is disposed above the locking tongue assembly 20 and is elastically connected to the support frame 10, allowing the limiting assembly 30 to reciprocate. The limiting assembly 30 is movably connected to the locking tongue assembly 20, and the bottom of the limiting assembly 30 can engage with different positions of the locking tongue assembly 20, allowing the locking tongue 21 to pass through or exit the manhole seat 50. When the locking tongue 21 passes through the manhole seat 50, it can be locked using a lock body. By opening the lock body and pressing the locking tongue 21, the locking tongue 21 can be disengaged from the manhole seat 50, thereby opening the manhole cover 40. In this embodiment, as... Figure 3 As shown, the support frame 10 is a quadrilateral frame structure, consisting of four side walls fixedly connected together. The tops of the four side walls are fixedly connected to the bottom of the manhole cover 40. The locking tongue assembly 20 passes through two opposite side walls, and the restraining assembly 30 passes through the other two opposite side walls. The side walls are made of Q235B steel plate with a thickness of 3mm, and adjacent side walls are fixed by welding.
[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the latch assembly 20 includes a constraint block 23 and a first connecting rod 26. A latch 21 is provided on one side of the constraint block 23, passing through the side wall of the support frame 10. The other side of the constraint block 23 is elastically connected to the support frame 10, allowing the bottom of the restraining assembly 30 to engage with the constraint block 23 at different positions. The first connecting rod 26 is located on the side of the constraint block 23 away from the latch 21, with one end of the first connecting rod 26 passing through the side wall of the support frame 10. In this embodiment, the constraint block 23 is a horizontally placed quadrilateral block, with the latch 21 fixed on one side. The latch 21 is made of Q235B steel plate with a thickness of 3mm. A hanging hole 22 is provided at the end of the latch 21 away from the constraint block 23 for padlocking. A first through hole 11 is provided on the side wall of the support frame 10 at a position opposite to the latch 21, with the latch 21 passing through the first through hole 11 in a clearance fit. One end of the first connecting rod 26 is fixedly connected to the side of the constraint block 23 away from the locking tongue 21, and the other end passes through the side wall of the support frame 10. A second through hole 12 is provided on the side wall of the support frame 10 at a position opposite to the first connecting rod 26. The first connecting rod 26 passes through the second through hole 12 and is clearance-fitted with the second through hole 12. The side of the constraint block 23 away from the locking tongue 21 is elastically connected to the side of the support frame 10 through which the first connecting rod 26 passes.
[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a path groove 24 is provided at the top of the constraint block 23, and the bottom of the limiting component 30 can engage with different positions of the path groove 24. To prevent the limiting component 30 from disengaging from the path groove 24, the path groove 24 has a certain depth. In this embodiment, the depth of the path groove 24 is set to 15mm, and the width is set to 12mm.
[0042] In this embodiment, the path slot 24 is configured as an eccentric structure, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, under no external force, the bottom of the limiting component 30 engages with the end of the eccentric structure away from the locking tongue 21, and the locking tongue 21 protrudes from the well seat 50. Pressing the locking tongue 21 engages the bottom of the limiting component 30 with the end of the eccentric structure near the locking tongue 21, and the locking tongue 21 retracts from the well seat 50. A protrusion 25 is provided on the groove wall of the path groove 24 near the locking tongue 21. (The text abruptly ends here.) Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, when the latch 21 is pressed, the constraint block 23 moves toward the side where the first connecting rod 26 is located. The bottom of the limiting component 30 slides along the path groove 24 to the protrusion 25 and engages with the protrusion 25. At this time, the latch 21 exits the well seat 50 and disengages from the well seat 50, allowing the well cover 40 to open. Pressing the latch 21 causes the constraint block 23 to continue moving toward the side where the first connecting rod 26 is located. The bottom of the limiting component 30 passes over the protrusion 25. Without the engagement of the protrusion 25, the constraint block 23 springs back to its original position, causing the bottom of the limiting component 30 to slide to the center axis position of the end of the path groove 24 away from the latch 21. At this time, the latch 21 extends out of the base and can be locked with a padlock.
[0043] Specifically, a first positioning block 27 is provided at the end of the first connecting rod 26 away from the constraint block 23, and the first positioning block 27 is located outside the support frame 10. By providing the first positioning block 27, the first connecting rod 26 can be prevented from detaching from the support frame 10. In this embodiment, the end of the first connecting rod 26 away from the constraint block 23 is provided with a thread, and the first positioning block 27 is configured as a nut that is threadedly connected to the first connecting rod 26.
[0044] Specifically, a first spring 28 is mounted on the first connecting rod 26. One end of the first spring 28 is connected to the constraint block 23, and the other end is connected to the side wall of the support frame 10. By setting the first spring 28, the constraint block 23 is elastically connected to the support frame 10. When the latch 21 is pressed, the first spring 28 contracts, and the bottom of the limiting component 30 slides along the path groove 24 to the protrusion 25 and engages with the protrusion 25. At this time, the latch 21 exits the well seat 50. Pressing the latch 21 further compresses the first spring 28, causing the bottom of the limiting component 30 to pass over the protrusion 25. After the bottom of the limiting component 30 passes over the protrusion 25, the first spring 28 rebounds, causing the constraint block 23 to move toward the side where the latch 21 is located. When the bottom of the limiting component 30 slides along the path groove 24 to the center axis position of the end of the path groove 24 away from the latch 21, the latch 21 extends out of the well seat 50 and can be padlocked.
[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 9As shown, the limiting component 30 includes a second connecting rod 31 and a limiting rod 32. The second connecting rod 31 passes through the support frame 10, and its two ends are elastically connected to the support frame 10. The limiting rod 32 is disposed on the second connecting rod 31, and its bottom is movably connected to the latch assembly 20, and can be engaged at different positions of the latch assembly 20. In this embodiment, a third through hole 13 is provided opposite to each other on the two side walls of the support frame 10 that are not connected to the latch assembly 20. The second connecting rod 31 passes through the third through hole 13 and is clearance-fitted with the third through hole 13. The second connecting rod 31 is elastically connected to the two side walls, so that the second connecting rod 31 can reciprocate perpendicularly to the first connecting rod 26. The limiting rod 32 is vertically disposed, its top is fixedly connected to the middle of the second connecting rod 31, and its bottom is slidably connected to the path groove 24 of the latch assembly 20. When the constraint block 23 reciprocates, the bottom of the limiting rod 32 slides along the path groove 24 and engages with the path groove 24, limiting the path groove 24.
[0046] Specifically, the second connecting rod 31 has second positioning blocks 33 at both ends, and the second positioning blocks 33 are disposed outside the support frame 10. By setting the second positioning blocks 33, the second connecting rod 31 can be prevented from detaching from the support frame 10. In this embodiment, the second connecting rod 31 has threads at both ends, and the second positioning blocks 33 are set as nuts and are threadedly connected to the second connecting rod 31.
[0047] Specifically, a second spring 34 is provided between the second positioning block 33 and the support frame 10. The second spring 34 passes through the second connecting rod 31, with one end connected to the second positioning block 33 and the other end connected to the outside of the side wall of the support frame 10. The second spring 34 is symmetrically arranged at both ends of the second connecting rod 31. When the bottom of the limiting rod 32 passes the protrusion 25, the first spring 28 rebounds, causing the constraint block 23 to move towards the side where the locking tongue 21 is located. Under the action of the second spring 34, the bottom of the limiting rod 32 slides along the path groove 24 to the central axis position of the end of the path groove 24 away from the locking tongue 21.
[0048] A method of using a manhole cover locking device as described above includes the following steps:
[0049] After the entire device is assembled, the support frame 10 is placed at the bottom of the manhole cover 40, and the top of the side wall of the support frame 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the manhole cover 40 by welding or riveting. Press the locking tongue 21, so that the bottom of the limiting rod 32 slides along the path groove 24 to the protrusion 25 and engages with the protrusion 25. At this time, the first spring 28 and the locking tongue 21 are in the retracted state, covering the manhole cover 40 on the manhole seat 50.
[0050] like Figure 4As shown, when the locking tongue 21 is pressed, the limiting rod 32 passes over the protrusion 25 of the path groove 24. Under the rebound action of the first spring 28, the constraint block 23 moves toward the side where the locking tongue 21 is located. When the bottom of the limiting rod 32 slides along the path groove 24 to the center axis position of the end of the path groove 24 away from the locking tongue 21, i.e., the first position, it engages with the path groove 24. At this time, the locking tongue 21 extends outward and passes through the well seat 50. The well cover 40 can be locked by using a padlock.
[0051] like Figure 6 As shown, when it is necessary to open the manhole cover 40, remove the lock body, press the lock tongue 21, and the bottom of the limiting rod 32 slides along the path groove 24 to the protrusion 25, i.e., the second position, and engages with the protrusion 25. At this time, the lock tongue 21 is disengaged from the manhole seat 50, and the manhole cover 40 can be opened.
[0052] The advantages and positive effects of this invention are:
[0053] The locking tongue can be extended and retracted by pressing, which can lock the manhole cover and the manhole seat, prevent the manhole cover from shifting, avoid accidentally opening the manhole cover, reduce safety hazards, and has a simple structure and is easy to operate.
