Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of road manhole covers, and in particular to a side-sealed manhole cover and an opening tool thereof. Background Art
[0002] Manhole covers are the top closures of deep wells on roads or in homes, used to prevent people or objects from falling and as entrances and exits to underground facilities. Manhole covers are an important part of infrastructure, and they are required wherever public facilities such as tap water, telecommunications, electricity, gas, heat, fire protection, and sanitation are installed. With the development of the economy, the upgrading of infrastructure construction has also driven the development of manhole cover technology.
[0003] The existing manhole cover usually includes a manhole seat and a cover body, wherein the manhole seat is fixed to the ground or a supporting structure, and the cover body is movably covered at the wellhead on the manhole seat. When the cover body is to be opened, a T-shaped handle is usually used to hook the operating hole on the cover body, and then the cover body is directly lifted manually to open the cover body.
[0004] However, the manhole covers used in gas stations are usually heavy because they must have a strong load-bearing capacity. Gas stations not only serve small private cars, but also large trucks. In order to ensure safety and prevent the manhole covers from collapsing under heavy pressure, the manhole covers of gas stations are usually designed to be thicker and stronger. This design ensures that even when heavy vehicles frequently pass by, the manhole covers can stably withstand pressure, thus avoiding accidents.
[0005] The heavy manhole cover makes it difficult for the staff to open it easily, especially the manhole cover with a sealing structure. The friction resistance between the edge of the cover and the well seat is relatively large. It is difficult for an ordinary adult male to directly open the cover with the above-mentioned handle, which is very inconvenient. Utility Model Content
[0006] In order to solve the problem that the manhole cover is inconvenient to open due to the deadweight of the cover body and the sealing structure, the present application provides a side-sealed manhole cover and an opening tool thereof.

[0038] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 This application is described in further detail.
[0039] The present application embodiment discloses a side sealing manhole cover. Figure 1 The side sealing manhole cover includes a circular manhole seat 1 and a cover body 2. The manhole seat 1 is pre-buried in the ground for fixation, and the cover body 2 is placed flat at the wellhead of the manhole seat 1 to achieve a stable covering effect through its own weight.
[0040] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2When the cover body 2 is closed on the well seat 1, a circle of annular make way groove 11 is left between the side wall of the cover body 2 and the inner wall of the well seat 1, and a circle of rubber sealing ring 21 is arranged in the make way groove 11. The sealing ring 21 can be fixed around the side wall of the cover body 2, and can also be fixed on the inner wall of the well head of the well seat 1. In this embodiment, the sealing ring 21 is fixed around the cover body 2; the outer cross-section of the sealing surface of the sealing ring 21 facing outward is in the shape of a vertically extending tooth, and the thickness of the sealing ring 21 is greater than the width of the make way groove 11, so that when the cover body 2 is closed on the well seat 1, the sealing ring 21 is squeezed and deformed by force, and filled in the make way groove 11, so as to achieve a sealing effect and prevent rainwater or other foreign matter from entering the well cover.
[0041] Reference Figure 2 Two operating holes 22 are symmetrically arranged on the cover body 2. The operating hole 22 is long and points to the center of the cover body 2. A cylindrical operating cavity 23 is formed on the cover body 2 inside the operating hole 22. The diameter of the operating cavity 23 is greater than the length of the operating hole 22.
[0042] The present application also discloses an opening tool for the above-mentioned side sealing manhole cover. Figure 1 , Figure 2 The opening tool includes a lifting rod 3 and a prying plate 4. The upper end of the lifting rod 3 is fixedly connected with a handle 31 for easy lifting and gripping, and the lower end is welded with an extension column 32. A prying block 33 is welded at the bottom of the extension column 32. The prying block 33 extends toward both sides along the radial direction of the extension column 32, and the width between the two ends of the prying block 33 is less than the length of the operating hole 22 and greater than the width of the operating hole 22. When the prying block 33 enters the long strip operating hole 22 on the manhole cover along the extension column 32, the lifting rod 3 is rotated so that the extension column 32 drives the prying block 33 to rotate 90 degrees in the operating cavity 23, and the prying block 33 can be limited in the operating hole 22. The lifting rod 3 is lifted upward to apply an upward pulling force to the cover body 2, thereby lifting the cover body 2 to open the manhole cover.
[0043] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 The front end of the pry plate 4 is hinged to the lower end of the lifting rod 3, and the hinge position is close to the top of the extension column 32; the extension lines of the handle 31, the extension column 32 and the pry plate 4 are located in the same plane. The middle lower end of the pry plate 4 is fixedly connected to the support block 41, and the end of the pry plate 4 away from the hinge of the lifting rod 3 is provided with a pedal 62. When the pry block 33 enters the operating hole 22 and is limited, the pry plate 4 is lowered to make the support block 41 abut against the upper end of the well seat 1. At this time, the opening tool forms a lever with the support block 41 as the fulcrum. By stepping on this end of the pedal 62, the manhole cover body 2 can be pried up through the pry block 33, which is labor-saving and convenient.
[0044] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4The support block 41 is hollow inside and has an opening 411 on one side facing the pry block 33. A card block 5 is slidably connected to the bottom of the inner side of the support block 41 through a guide structure. The card block 5 is usually hidden in the support block 41 and can slide one end to the outside of the support block 41 in the direction of the opening 411.
[0045] The interior of the pry plate 4 is also hollow, and the inner cavity of the support block 41 is upwardly connected to the pry plate 4. A push plate 61 is arranged in the inner cavity of the pry plate 4. The push plate 61 is L-shaped. The vertical section 611 of the push plate 61 goes downward into the support block 41 and is fixedly connected to the end of the clamping block 5 away from the opening 411. The horizontal section 612 of the push plate 61 is slidably connected to the pry plate 4 along the length direction of the pry plate 4; the end of the horizontal section 612 of the push plate 61 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pedal 62, and the pedal 62 is also slidably connected to the top of the pry plate 4 along the length direction of the pry plate 4. The push plate 61 and the pedal 62 together constitute a driving mechanism 6 for driving the clamping block 5 to move. When the operator steps on the pedal 62 at the end of the pry plate 4 to lift the cover body 2, the clamping block 5 can be extended and enter the gap between the cover body 2 and the well seat 1 by moving the foot that steps on the pedal 62, thereby clamping the cover body 2.
[0046] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 A limit baffle 621 that protrudes upward in an arc shape is welded at the front end of the pedal 62. The limit baffle 621 is used to limit the front end of the operator's foot stepping on the pedal 62, so that the operator's foot can accurately step on the correct position on the pedal 62 and help the foot push the pedal 62 forward.
[0047] A reset spring 7 is also provided in the inner cavity of the pry plate 4, one end of the reset spring 7 is connected to the end of the pry plate 4 away from the pry block 33, and the other end is connected to the lower front end of the pedal 62. The reset spring 7 is used to automatically reset the pedal 62 after being pushed forward, so that the clamping block 5 automatically retracts to the inner side of the support block 41. The upper and lower end surfaces of the clamping block 5 are both glued and fixed with anti-skid adhesive layers. As long as the reset force of the reset spring 7 on the clamping block 5 is smaller than the resistance of the cover body 2 when pressing the clamping block 5 by its own gravity, the clamping block 5 can be kept clamped to the cover body 2 to make it tilted.
[0048] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 The two sides of the end surface of the pry plate 4 facing the lifting rod 3 are integrally formed with guard plates 42. When the lifting rod 3 is rotated to fit with the pry plate 4, the lifting rod 3 is located between the two side guard plates 42, and the two side guard plates 42 are used to limit and protect the closed lifting rod 3. A circular circlip 43 is fixedly connected between the two side guard plates 42 at the upper end of the pry plate 4. The bayonet of the circular circlip 43 faces one side of the lifting rod 3, and the bayonet width is smaller than the diameter of the lifting rod 3. The circular circlip 43 is used to fix the lifting rod 3 on the pry plate 4 for limiting, and it is also effortless to open the lifting rod 3, which further increases the convenience of storage and carrying.
[0049] The implementation principle of the side sealing manhole cover and its opening tool in the embodiment of the present application is:
[0050] When the opening tool is not in use, the lifting rod 3 and the pry plate 4 can be rotated and closed, which is convenient for handholding and carrying; when using the opening tool to open the manhole cover, the pry block 33 at the end of the lifting rod 3 is first inserted into the operating hole 22 and rotated to complete the locking, and then the pry plate 4 is lowered to make the support block 41 abut against the manhole seat 1, and the end of the pry plate 4 away from the manhole cover will be tilted to form a lever. At this time, stepping on this end can lift the side of the cover body 2 close to the opening tool through the pry block 33, and a gap will appear between the lifted end of the cover body 2 and the manhole seat 1; then push the pedal 62 forward by foot, so that the front end of the block 5 is pushed out and enters the gap, so that the operator's foot can release the pry plate 4 and the cover body 2 can keep the tilted state, which is convenient for the operator to lift or transfer the cover body 2 through the lifting rod 3 in a more labor-saving posture.
[0051] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
