[0022] The principles and features of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The following description, in conjunction with... Figure 1-2 The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below: like Figure 1-2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a bolt-fixed hatch opening / closing status display device, comprising: Telescopic assembly, which is disposed on the bulkhead 4 below the hatch cover plate 1; Limit switch 9, which is located below the telescopic assembly, is used to send out the mechanical switching state transmitted by the telescopic assembly through a signal; When the hatch cover 1 is closed, the top of the telescopic assembly abuts against the bottom surface of the hatch cover 1, and its bottom end drives the contact rod of the limit switch 9 to move down to the neutral position. The limit switch 9 is not triggered by a signal, indicating that the hatch cover 1 is closed. When the hatch cover 1 is opened, the top of the telescopic component disengages from the hatch cover 1, its bottom moves upward, the contact rod of the limit switch 9 moves upward to the trigger position, the limit switch 9 triggers a signal, indicating that the hatch cover 1 is open.

[0023] In one embodiment, the telescopic component includes, A sleeve 6 is fixedly installed on the inner side plate of the bulkhead 4, used to install the top rod 8 and limit the direction and range of movement of the top rod 8; A push rod 8 is inserted inside the sleeve 6. Its top end extends through the top surface of the sleeve 6 and the bulkhead 4 to the top of the bulkhead 4, and its bottom end extends through the bottom surface of the sleeve 6 to the bottom of the sleeve 6 and abuts against the contact rod of the limit switch 9. The push rod 8 is used to mechanically transmit the opening and closing state of the manhole cover. A spring 7 is used to press and reset the push rod 8. The spring 7 is sleeved on the push rod 8 and located inside the sleeve 6. When the hatch cover 1 is closed, the push rod 8 moves downward, the spring 7 is compressed, and the bottom end of the push rod 8 drives the contact rod of the limit switch 9 to move down to the neutral position. The limit switch 9 has no signal trigger, indicating that the hatch cover 1 is closed. When the hatch cover 1 is opened, the push rod 8 moves upward under the action of the spring 7, the contact rod of the limit switch 9 moves up to the trigger position, the limit switch 9 triggers a signal, indicating that the hatch cover 1 is open.

[0024] In one embodiment, the top rod 8 is disposed on the outline of the bolt 10 between the two hatch cover plates 3. When the hatch cover plate 1 is closed, the top end of the top rod 8 is completely retracted into the groove between the two hatch cover plates 3. Thus, the hatch cover sealing ring 2 at the top of the hatch cover plate 3 can meet the watertight requirements of the hatch cover plate 1. In one embodiment, the sleeve 6 includes a cylinder body 601 and a cylinder cover 602. The cylinder body 601 and the cylinder cover 602 are provided with matching bolts, and the two are assembled into a whole by screw connection. By designing the sleeve 6 as two threaded parts, the assembly difficulty of installing the push rod 8 and the spring 7 in the sleeve 6 can be reduced, and the overall length of the sleeve 6 can be adjusted within a certain range, thereby adjusting the initial position and sensitivity of the push rod 8.

[0025] In one embodiment, a fixed support 5 is fixedly provided at the top end of the sleeve 6. The fixed support 5 is welded and fixed to the bulkhead 4. By adding the fixed support 5, a transition structure can be added between the sleeve 6 and the bulkhead 4, which reduces the welding difficulty between the two, ensures the welding quality, and can also reduce welding damage to the base material. Moreover, the sleeve 6 and the fixed support 5 can be welded into a whole in advance during the processing stage to reduce the amount of welding work during on-site installation.

[0026] In one embodiment, the push rod 8 includes a rod body 801, and a limiting ring 802 is fixedly provided in the middle of the rod body 801. The top and bottom ends of the spring 7 abut against the bottom end face of the limiting ring 802 and the inner side of the bottom end of the sleeve 6, respectively. The outer diameter of the limiting ring 802 is larger than the opening diameter of the top and bottom ends of the sleeve 6, which can provide a contact position for the spring 7 and prevent the push rod 8 from coming out of the sleeve 6.

[0027] In one embodiment, a contact plate 803 is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the rod 801. The diameter of the contact plate 803 is larger than the diameter of the rod 801. By adding a larger contact plate 803, the contact stability between the rod 801 and the limit switch 9 contact rod can be ensured, and the stable display of the opening and closing state of the hatch cover 1 can be ensured.

[0028] In one embodiment, the top of the rod 801 is an arc-shaped end face that is high in the middle and low on the periphery. By setting the arc-shaped end face, on the one hand, the sensitivity of the rod 801 can be increased, and on the other hand, it can be ensured that the rod 801 will not cause collision damage to the operator when it is in the extended state.

[0029] In one embodiment, the telescopic component is located on the opposite side of the hinge 11. By placing the telescopic component at the far end of the hinge 11, the accuracy of the opening and closing status display of the hatch cover 1 can be ensured. That is, the limit switch 9 will only be triggered when the hatch cover 1 is completely closed.

[0030] In one embodiment, the telescopic assembly can be provided in two sets, with the two sets of telescopic assemblies complementing each other to ensure the correctness of the opening and closing state of the hatch cover 1.

[0031] The main function of this invention is to use the push rod 8 to mechanically transmit the opening and closing state of the bolt-fixed hatch cover plate 1 and the hatch cover seat plate 3. If the push rod 8 pops up, it means that the hatch cover plate 1 and the hatch cover seat plate 3 are separated and the hatch is in the open state; if the push rod 8 is compressed and does not protrude from the hatch cover seat plate 3, it means that the hatch cover plate 1 and the hatch cover seat plate 3 are attached and the hatch is in the closed state.

[0032] The contact rod of limit switch 9 is mechanically engaged with the push rod 8. When the push rod 8 moves upward, the contact rod of limit switch 9 moves upward, and limit switch 9 will trigger a signal to indicate that it is open. If the push rod 8 moves downward and presses the contact rod of limit switch 9 to its limit position, the contact rod of limit switch 9 is in a neutral position and there is no signal to trigger it, indicating that it is closed.

[0033] The function of spring 7 is to mechanically fix or push the push rod 8 to move up and down.

[0034] The function of limit switch 9 is to transmit open and close signals.

[0035] The above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present invention within its spirit and scope of protection, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions should also be considered to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
