[0020] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the various embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, but it should be noted that these embodiments are not limitations of the present invention, and any equivalent transformations or substitutions in functions, methods or structures made by ordinary technicians in the field based on these embodiments are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms

[0022] "Installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection, or it can be the internal connection between two components. It can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meaning of the terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the power-assisted quick-opening manhole device described in the utility model comprises: a fixing ring 1, a manhole cover 2 and a power-assisted hinge assembly 3. The fixing ring 1 is connected to the manhole cover 2 through the power-assisted hinge assembly 3 and drives the manhole cover 2 to approach or move away from the fixing ring 1. The power-assisted hinge assembly 3 limits the opening and closing angle of the manhole cover 2. The power-assisted hinge assembly 3 comprises: a mounting portion 4, a power-assisted portion 5 and a hinge portion 6. The hinge portion 6 is arranged in the middle of the mounting portion 4. The power-assisted portion 5 is arranged on the hinge portion 6. One end of the mounting portion 4 is connected to the fixing ring 1, and the other end of the mounting portion 4 is connected to the manhole cover 2. The power-assisted portion 5 connects the fixing ring 1 and the manhole cover 2 and drives the manhole cover 2 away from the fixing ring 1. The fixing ring 1 and the manhole cover 2 are connected by the mounting portion 4, and the opening and closing of the manhole cover 2 is facilitated by the hinge, and the labor-saving opening and closing of the manhole cover 2 is facilitated by the power-assisted portion 5.

[0024] A plurality of fixing holes 11 are provided on the fixing ring 1. The fixing holes 11 and bolts are used to facilitate the manhole cover 2 to be tightly fixed to the fixing ring 1.

[0025] A handle 21 is provided on the manhole cover 2, and an observation port 22 is provided at the center of the manhole cover 2. The handle 21 is used to open the manhole cover 2 for maintenance, and the observation port 22 is used to observe the internal state of the equipment during normal use.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the mounting portion 4 includes: a first fixing block 41, a second fixing block 42 and a third fixing block 43, the hinge portion 6 passes through the first fixing block 41, the second fixing block 42 is installed at one end of the hinge portion 6, and the third fixing block 43 is installed at the other end of the hinge portion 6, the first fixing block 41 is fixedly connected to the fixing ring 1, and the second fixing block 42 and the third fixing block 43 are directly or indirectly fixedly connected to the manhole cover 2. The opening and closing of the manhole cover 2 is achieved by the cooperation of the first fixing block 41, the second fixing block 42 and the third fixing block 43 with the hinge portion 6.

[0027] The first fixing block 41 includes: a first support 44, a second support 45 and a connecting plate 46. The first support 44 and the second support 45 are symmetrically fixed at both ends of the connecting plate 46. The first support 44 is provided with a first mounting hole 47, and the top of the first support 44 has a first limiting surface 48. The second support 45 is provided with a second mounting hole 49, and the top of the second support 45 has a second limiting surface 410. The first mounting hole 47 and the second mounting hole 49 are symmetrically arranged, and the hinge 6 is inserted into the first mounting hole 47 and the second mounting hole 49. The first support 44 and the second support 45 facilitate the installation of the hinge 6, and the connecting plate 46 facilitates the support of the hinge 6 to enhance the overall structural strength.

[0028] A first limiting block 421 is provided on a side of the second fixing block 42 away from the third fixing block 43, and the end of the first limiting block 421 abuts against the first limiting surface 48 to limit the opening and closing angle of the manhole cover 2. A second limiting block 431 is provided on a side of the third fixing block 43 away from the second fixing block 42, and the end of the second limiting block 431 abuts against the second limiting surface 410 to limit the opening and closing angle of the manhole cover 2. The first limiting surface 48 abuts against the first limiting block 421 and the second limiting surface 410 abuts against the second limiting block 431 to ensure the opening and closing angle of the manhole cover 2 and prevent the weight or excessive tension of the manhole cover 2 from causing deformation of the equipment.

[0029] Since it needs to be used on equipment with a height of more than 900 mm, the manhole cover 2 is relatively heavy, and it is laborious to pull it. Therefore, the opening angle after pulling is difficult to control, which may cause deformation of the fixing ring 1 and the equipment.

[0030] The opening angle of the manhole cover 2 is adjusted by setting the shapes of the first limiting surface 48 and the first limiting block 421 and the shapes of the second limiting surface 410 and the second limiting block 431 .

[0031] The hinge part 6 includes: a connecting frame 61 and a rotating shaft 62. The connecting frame 61 is provided with a third mounting hole 63. The connecting frame 61 is sleeved in the middle of the rotating shaft 62 through the third mounting hole 63. The connecting frame 61 is fixed to the connecting plate 46. One end of the rotating shaft 62 is arranged in the first mounting hole 47, and the other end of the rotating shaft 62 is arranged in the second mounting hole 49. The connecting frame 61 provides support for the middle of the rotating shaft 62.

[0032] The power assisting part 5 includes: a first clip 51 and a second clip 52. The first clip 51 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 62 and is limited between the connecting frame 61 and the second fixing block 42. One end of the first clip 51 abuts against the connecting frame 61 and the other end abuts against the second fixing block 42. The second clip 52 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 62 and is limited between the connecting frame 61 and the third fixing block 43. One end of the second clip 52 abuts against the connecting frame 61 and the other end abuts against the third fixing block 43. The first clip 51 and the second clip 52 provide power assist for opening the manhole cover 2 after compression, so that the opening of the manhole cover 2 is more labor-saving.

[0033] In the specific implementation process, the first limit block 421 is fixed to the outside of the second fixing block 42 by bolts, and the bolts extend out of the inside of the second fixing block 42 to limit the position of one end of the first clamping spring 51; similarly, the second limit block 431 is fixed to the outside of the third fixing block 43 by bolts, and the bolts extend out of the inside of the third fixing block 43 to limit the position of one end of the second clamping spring 52. Such a setting does not require additional setting of the fixing position of the clamping spring, and kills two birds with one stone.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the fixing ring 1 and the manhole cover 2 are in a closed state; Figure 4 As shown, the manhole cover 2 is in a fully open state. Since the first limiting surface 48 abuts against the first limiting block 421 and the second limiting surface 410 abuts against the second limiting block 431, the angle between the manhole cover 2 and the fixing ring 1 is 105°-115°. When the manhole cover 2 is set, the angle between it and the fixing ring 1 must be greater than 90° to prevent the manhole cover 2 from closing when technicians enter for maintenance, causing safety hazards to personnel. At the same time, if the angle is too large, the gravity of the manhole cover 2 may cause the fixing ring 1 and the equipment to deform.

[0035] Similarly, since the elastic force of the first clip spring 51 and the second clip spring 52 is used to assist in pulling open the manhole cover 2, the first clip spring 51 and the second clip spring 52 are in a compressed state when the fixing ring 1 and the manhole cover 2 are in a closed state.

[0036] The above are only some embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, other modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the creative concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
