For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0029] like Figure 1As shown, as a specific embodiment of the utility model, a complete structural diagram of a manhole cover lifting device is disclosed, which can be used for the transfer and lifting of porous rectangular manhole covers in cities and community streets, including: a universal wheel 1, a trolley base 2, a column 3, a rotating arm 4, a roller 4-1, a rotating arm frame 4-2, a reciprocating electric cylinder 5, a reciprocating motor 5-1, a rotating arm connecting plate 5-2, a reciprocating electric cylinder body 5-3, a reciprocating electric cylinder shaft 5-4, a guide shaft connecting plate 5-5, a direct-connected electric cylinder 6, a direct-connected electric cylinder shaft 7, a connecting disc 8, indexing servo motor 9, mechanical gripper connecting plate 10, connecting plate main frame 10-1, cylindrical boss 10-2, armrest limit convex plate 10-3, shaft support 10-4, rotatable articulated frame 11, mechanical gripper 12, fixed claw 12-1, gripper main fixed seat 12-2, gripper servo motor 12-3, belt transmission structure 12-4, claw slide rail structure 12-5, screw structure 12-6, movable claw 12-7, variable pitch armrest 13, armrest support 13-1, armrest handle 13-2, pin hole 13-3, shaft 14.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the universal wheel 1 serves as the moving part of the device and the load-bearing part of the entire lifting equipment. The base 2 of the trolley is used to connect the universal wheel 1 and the column 3, thereby improving the stability and strength of the device. A hook for dragging the trolley is installed on the base 2. In actual work, it can be towed to any work site by an engineering vehicle. Rectangular holes are opened on the base 2 to reduce consumables and reduce the total weight of the entire device. Bolt holes are also opened on the base 2 for connecting with the column.

[0031] The column 3 is mainly used to support the reciprocating electric cylinder 5 and to give the mechanical gripper 12 an initial height position. The bottom of the column 3 is connected to the base 2 by bolts. The base 2 is designed to be circular, mainly to increase the contact area and reduce the stress concentration of the base 2. Ribs are provided at the junction of the circular base and the column 3 to reduce stress concentration.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 The middle roller 4-1 component can roll along the outer circle on the column, so that the rotating arm 4 can rotate. The 4-2 rotating arm frame structure cooperates with the roller to rotate, mainly playing the role of bearing and fixing the arm frame. The threaded hole on the arm frame is used to connect with the reciprocating electric cylinder 5.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the reciprocating electric cylinder 5 is mainly composed of a reciprocating motor 5-1, a swing arm connecting plate 5-2, a reciprocating electric cylinder body 5-3, a reciprocating electric cylinder shaft 5-4, and a guide shaft connecting plate 5-5. Driven by the motor, the direct-connected electric cylinder can be driven to telescopically move.

[0034] The direct-connected electric cylinder 6 has a simple and compact structure, mainly consisting of a motor, a cylinder body and a shaft. It can lift or lower the mechanical gripper 12 components. The square structure at the upper end is the motor, and the connecting disc 8 at the bottom is connected by bolts. The design of the disc makes the structure evenly stressed.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 It is a robot gripping connecting plate 10, which is mainly composed of four parts: a connecting plate main frame 10-1, a connecting plate boss 10-2, an armrest limit boss 10-3, and a rotating shaft support 10-4. The connecting plate main frame 10-1 is relatively small in overall size and has a relatively compact structure. The connecting plate boss 10-2 is connected to the retractable armrest, and the rotating shaft support 10-4 is used to fix the rotating shaft 14 driven by the servo motor 9.

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 The middle rotatable articulated frame 11 is T-shaped, and the top of the articulated frame and the connecting disc 8 cooperate with each other. Under the premise of ensuring the relative position between the two, the articulated frame can rotate in the vertical direction. The bottom of the articulated frame is connected to a cylindrical positionable shaft 14, which can rotate the shaft 14 in the horizontal direction relative to the articulated frame.

[0037] like Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 It is a variable-pitch handrail 13, which includes three parts: a handrail support 13-1, a handrail handle 13-2, and a pin hole 13-3. The handrail support 13-1 is H-shaped, which can improve the stability of the handrail and make the operation easier. The round hole design at the end point is mainly used to cooperate with the connecting plate boss 10-2 to achieve rotation, and rotate under the restriction of the handrail limit convex plate 10-3. The handrail handle 13-2 and the handrail support 13-1 are fixed and retracted through the cooperation of the pin hole 13-3 and the pin shaft. The handrail handle is H-shaped to balance the force and has a bend at the rear end to allow construction workers to operate.

[0038] like Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7The figure shows the complete structure of the mechanical gripper 12, which is divided into seven parts: a fixed gripper 12-1, a gripper main fixed seat 12-2, a gripper servo motor 12-3, a belt transmission structure 12-4, a gripper slide rail structure 12-5, a ball screw structure 12-6, and a movable gripper 12-7. The fixed gripper 12-1 is irregular in shape, with multiple round holes on the side to reduce weight, and is fixed on the base 2 and can move horizontally on the gripper main fixed seat. The front end of the gripper is curved so that the manhole cover can be stuck in the front. The main fixed seat 12-2 of the gripper is rectangular, and the gripper servo motor 12-3 and the belt drive structure 12-4 are fixed on the top. The movable gripper 12-7 can move horizontally on the gripper slide structure 12-5 through the rotation of the ball screw 12-6 under the drive of the belt drive. The belt drive structure 12-4 has large and small pulleys, and the movable gripper 12-7 moves by controlling the drive of the servo motor.

[0039] The working method of this embodiment is as follows: the mechanical gripper 12 is installed on the mechanical gripper connecting plate 10, and the gripper servo motor 12-3 drives the movable claw 12-7 to perform the gripping work. The staff operates the variable pitch handrail 13 to make the mechanical gripper 10 in the working position. Under the operation of the staff, the device can be rotated 270° around the direct-connected electric cylinder by the rotatable articulated frame 11, so that the staff can work in any suitable position. In addition, the direct-connected electric cylinder shaft 7 can be extended from the direct-connected electric cylinder body 6, and the reciprocating electric cylinder 5 can also be driven by the reciprocating motor 5-1 to make the reciprocating electric cylinder shaft 54 ​​and the guide shaft connecting plate 5-5 extend from the reciprocating electric cylinder body to adjust the relative position, and the rotating arm 4 can also be driven by the roller 4-1 through the rotating arm frame 4-2 to make the entire device rotate around the column 3, so that the mechanism can easily reach the predetermined working position. After reaching the predetermined position, the staff operates the switch on the retractable handrail to realize the remote control of the rotation of the indexing servo motor 9, and the mechanical gripper 12 retracts. After clamping the manhole cover, the cylinder shaft 7 of the direct-connected electric cylinder retracts into the rigid body 6 of the direct-connected electric cylinder, driving the mechanical gripper to rise to realize the manhole cover lifting process, and then the staff operates to place the manhole cover on the trolley base 2, completing the entire manhole cover clamping process, which is convenient for cleaning.
