DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] like Figure 1-5 A composite material manhole cover shown includes a manhole cover frame 100 and a manhole cover 200. The cross-section of the manhole cover frame 100 is C-shaped, and the cross-section of the manhole cover 200 is L-shaped. A pair of mounting seats 300 are installed on the manhole cover frame 100, and a pair of locking plates 400 are installed on the manhole cover 200. The mounting seats 300 and the locking plates 400 are connected via locking members 500.

[0023] Specifically, the hole cover frame 100 and the hole cover 200 are square structures as a whole, and are installed on the outside of the vertical surface of the hole cover frame 100 and extend outward, and cooperate with the locking plate 400 and the locking member 500 to complete the closed installation of the hole cover 200.

[0024] It should be noted that the C-shaped cross-section of the manhole cover frame 100 and the L-shaped manhole cover 200 ensure a larger contact area and space occupation between the two. Such a design can improve the sealing performance of the manhole cover 200.

[0025] Furthermore, the hole cover frame 100 and the hole cover 200 are made of composite materials.

[0026] Specifically, it is made of carbon fiber composite material and autoclave process.

[0027] It should be noted that by utilizing the advantages of carbon fiber composite materials such as high specific strength, large specific modulus, fatigue resistance and corrosion resistance, the composite products formed by autoclaves have good quality consistency, stable and reliable quality, and thus obtain products with superior performance; compared with metal manhole covers, they are lighter in weight and have better weather resistance.

[0028] Furthermore, the mounting seat 300 includes a pair of mounting plates 301 mounted on the inner side and the outer side of the hole cover frame 100 , and a pair of ear plates 302 are provided on the outer mounting plate 301 .

[0029] Specifically, the mounting plate 301 is made of metal material.

[0030] It should be noted that since the hole cover frame 100 is made of composite material, its own connection strength is relatively weak. Therefore, when installing the fastener 500, directly fixing the fastener 500 on the hole cover frame 100 will result in insufficient stability. Therefore, the installation of the fastener 500 is completed by designing a mounting seat 300. The mounting seat 300 is a pair of mounting plates 301, which are clamped on both sides of the hole cover frame 100. The fastener 500 is installed on the mounting plate 301 through the ear plate 302 to ensure the reliability of the fastener 500 during installation.

[0031] Furthermore, a notch 401 is processed at the outer end of the locking plate 400 .

[0032] Specifically, the locking plate 400 extends outward from the top of the hole cover 200 for a certain distance, and the notch 401 is formed on the extended locking plate 400 .

[0033] It should be noted that such a design, in combination with the ear plate 302 and the locking member 500, makes the operation more convenient.

[0034] Furthermore, one end of the locking member 500 is hinged to the ear plate 302 , and the other end can be inserted into the slot 401 .

[0035] It should be noted that such a design allows the locking member 500 to still be hung on the mounting seat 300 when unlocking, and to be inserted into the notch 401 when locking, making the operation more convenient.

[0036] Furthermore, the locking member 500 includes a mounting bolt 501 penetrating the ear plate 302 , a sleeve 502 is sleeved on the bolt of the ear plate 302 , a threaded rod 503 is connected to one side of the sleeve 502 , and a butterfly nut 504 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 503 .

[0037] When the hole cover 200 needs to be opened, unscrew the butterfly nut 504, pull the butterfly nut 504 outward, so that the threaded rod 503 rotates around the mounting bolt 501 and disengages from the slot 401, and the hole cover 200 can be removed at this time; when it needs to be closed, the operation is reversed, the threaded rod 503 is inserted into the slot 401, and the butterfly nut 504 is tightened to completely close the hole cover 200.

[0038] Furthermore, a support plate 600 cooperating with the locking plate 400 is provided at the bottom of the hole cover 200 .

[0039] It should be noted that, as mentioned above, since the hole cover 200 is made of composite material, its own connection strength is relatively weak. By designing the support plate 600 and the locking plate 400, which are clamped on the upper and lower sides of the hole cover 200, the reliability of the locking member 500 during installation is ensured.

[0040] Furthermore, a reinforcing member 700 is provided at the bottom of the hole cover 200 .

[0041] It should be noted that such a design can enhance the rigidity of the hole cover 200 .

[0042] Furthermore, the reinforcement member 700 includes a cross-shaped frame 701 , and a foam core 702 is disposed in the cross-shaped frame 701 .

[0043] In order to further reduce weight while ensuring strength.

[0044] The above embodiments are only used to help understand the method and core idea of ​​the utility model. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made to the utility model without departing from the principle of the utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the utility model.
