[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this embodiment discloses an inverted culvert trash rack that is easy to open, including a frame 1 and a plurality of bars 2 arranged on the frame 1. The frame 1 is made of a channel steel with a width of 100 mm, and its overall width is 2800 mm and its height is 1780 mm. The bars 2 are made of a flat steel with a width of 50 mm, and the bars 2 are fixed to the waterfront side of the frame 1 by welding.

[0027] The length of a portion of the bars 2 is equal to the width of the frame 1. The length of a portion of the adjacent bars 2 near the top is 1548mm. After the left end is fixed to the left side of the frame 1, the right end cannot cover the right side of the frame 1, so a passage A is formed. A pin hole is provided at the right end of this shorter bar 2. A pivot hole is provided on the right side of the frame 1. A trash door 3 is installed at the passage A. The trash door 3 is made of flat steel with the same specifications as the bars 2, and its width is 1300mm. One end of the trash door 3 is rotatably installed in the pivot hole of the frame 1 through a pivot 10, and the other end is detachably connected to the pin hole through a pin shaft 15. By removing the pin shaft 15, the trash door 3 can be turned around the pivot shaft 10 to open, thereby allowing the passage A to pass through completely. After closing the trash door 3, insert the pin shaft 15 to lock it to prevent outsiders from passing through the passage A. As Figure 8 As shown, the position of the through port A should be determined according to the design water level, so that the trash door 3 will not be completely immersed in water at a normal water level, and can avoid being entangled by entanglements above the water surface.

[0028] Since the water contains a lot of strip-shaped dirt, such as water plants, branches, various bags or ropes, etc., they will be blocked when encountering the trash rack, but since these dirt itself is soft in texture, they will be entangled on the bars 2 under the continuous action of the water flow. If the bars on the trash door 3 and the bars on the fence frame 1 are entangled by such dirt, it will affect the opening of the trash door 3. For this reason, in order to be able to remove these entanglements underwater, as a preferred example, the present invention also includes an anti-entanglement device for entanglements that cut off the trash door 3 and the upper and lower bars 2. Specifically, the anti-entanglement device includes a tool holder 4 installed on the fence frame 1 through a screw mechanism, a handwheel 5 that drives the screw mechanism through a gear mechanism, and a cutter 6 installed on the tool holder 4; the tool holder 4 passes through the through port A in the vertical direction. The screw mechanism includes a pair of screws 7 installed on the fence frame 1 and four screw nuts 9 installed on both sides of the tool holder 4.

[0029] The gear mechanism is installed close to the top of the grille 1, so that most of the components are not immersed in water. The gear mechanism includes a first bevel gear mechanism 12, a spur gear mechanism 13 and a second bevel gear mechanism 14 connected in sequence. Two first bevel gear mechanisms 12 are provided and connected by a synchronous shaft 11, which respectively drive each lead screw 7 to rotate. The spur gear mechanism 13 connects the synchronous shaft 11 and the second bevel gear mechanism 14, and the handwheel 5 drives the second bevel gear mechanism 14. When the handwheel 5 is turned, the lead screw 7 can be driven to rotate synchronously through the gear mechanism, thereby driving the tool holder 4 to rise and fall. When the tool holder 4 passes through the through port A, the cutter 6 forms a shear with the bars on the dirt-blocking door 3, thereby cutting off the entanglement. The anti-entanglement device can achieve the purpose of cutting the entanglement completely manually under the condition that it is inconvenient to remove with the help of tools.

[0030] As a preferred example, the transmission ratios of the first bevel gear mechanism 12, the spur gear mechanism 13 and the second bevel gear mechanism 14 are not less than 2, so that the transmission ratio of the gear mechanism is not less than 8, with a larger output torque, making it easier to achieve pure manual cutting.

[0031] As a preferred example, the upper and lower edges of the cutter 6 are provided with blades, and the blades are provided with a plurality of equally spaced arc-shaped cutting edges 6.1. The upper and lower blades can repeatedly cut the windings during the lifting process to avoid the situation where the cutting is not complete at one time. The arc-shaped cutting edges 6.1 can prevent the hard objects from slipping and failing to cut properly when cutting.

[0032] The reason why the present invention is provided with an anti-entanglement device driven by a screw mechanism and a gear mechanism is that the trash rack is immersed in water for a long time, and the maintenance personnel are also in the same environment during maintenance. It is not convenient for the maintenance personnel to carry other tools not related to maintenance, and it is not as easy and convenient to use cutting tools as in the ground environment. Therefore, the anti-entanglement device can drive the cutter 6 to rise and fall by turning the hand wheel 5 to achieve the cutting purpose, and the operation is more convenient. It should be noted that the relevant components in the anti-entanglement device of the present invention are all anti-corrosion components and can adapt to the use in underwater environment.

[0033] It should be noted that the trash door 3 and the hand wheel 5 are both located on the waterfront side to facilitate maintenance personnel to operate, while the knife holder 4 is located on the backwater side to facilitate the cutter 6 to cut off the entanglement from the rear of the grid bar 2.
