The moving mechanism 4 includes a reduction motor 41, a transmission gear 42, a moving gear ring 43, a connecting column 44, a limiting shaft 45, and an annular slide groove 46. The transmission gear 42 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the reduction motor 41, the moving gear ring 43 is rotatably connected to the inside of the mounting shell 3, and the connecting column 44 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the moving gear ring 43. The wireless sensor body 1 is equipped with an acceleration sensor, a displacement sensor, a temperature sensor and a wireless communication module for real-time monitoring of key parameters such as vibration, displacement, and temperature of the manhole cover.
