[0015] Figure 2 It is a plan view of the top plate of the utility model.

[0016] Figure numerals: 1. jack; 2. top plate; 3. movable bracket; 4. pull plate hook; 5. nut; 6. load-bearing wheel; 7. guide rod; 8. movable sleeve; 9. waist-shaped hole. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0018] See also Figure 1-Figure 2 A typical embodiment of the present application provides a manhole cover opener and closeer, including a jack 1, a top plate 2, a movable bracket 3 and a pair of pull plate hooks 4. The jack 1 is a jack 1 in the prior art, the top plate 2 and the movable bracket 3 are both made of stainless steel, and a load wheel 6 is connected to the bottom of the movable bracket 3. Specifically, the top plate 2 is connected to the top of the jack 1, the movable bracket 3 is connected to the bottom of the jack 1, the movable end of the jack 1 is connected to the top plate 2, and the fixed end thereof is connected to the movable bracket 3. When the jack 1 moves, the top plate 2 moves upward or downward relative to the movable bracket 3.

[0019] A circular through hole is provided on the top plate 2 and the movable bracket 3. The upper ends of a pair of pull plate hooks 4 are inserted through the circular through holes of the top plate 2 and fixed by nuts 5. The lower ends of the pull plate hooks 4 pass through the circular through holes of the movable bracket 3 so that the hooks are placed at the bottom of the movable bracket 3. The pull plate hooks 4 are steel rods, and the bottoms thereof are bent inwards 90° to form hook ends.

[0020] When in use, the staff installs the mobile bracket 3 on the manhole cover. As the jack 1 contracts, the plate hook 4 extends into the opening hole of the manhole cover, and then the plate hook 4 is rotated so that the hook end is rotated to buckle the manhole cover. After the installation is completed, the top plate 2 is extended by the movable end of the jack 1 to drive the plate hook 4 to move upward, thereby lifting the manhole cover, thereby achieving the purpose of lifting the manhole cover. After that, the load-bearing wheel 6 of the mobile bracket 3 moves the whole body together with the manhole cover, and the manhole cover can be moved out of the wellhead. When installing the manhole cover, just operate in reverse. The entire installation process is simple and easy to operate, and has good safety.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, in order to improve the stability of the movement of the pull plate hook 4, the opener and closer also includes a pair of guide rods 7 and a movable sleeve 8 adapted to the guide rods 7. The movable sleeve 8 is fixed to both sides of the top plate 2 by welding. The upper end of the guide rod 7 is passed through the movable sleeve 8 and can move relative to the movable sleeve 8. The lower end of the guide rod 7 is fixed to the top of the movable bracket 3.

[0022] In order to adjust the distance between a pair of pull plate hooks 4, a waist-shaped hole 9 is provided in the circular hole channel on the top plate 2, and the pull plate hook 4 is fixed in the waist-shaped hole 9 by a nut 5. The distance between a pair of pull plate hooks 4 can be adjusted according to the distance of the opening hole on the manhole cover to be moved, and the purpose of adjustment is achieved through the waist-shaped hole 9 and the nut 5, which increases its applicability.

[0023] On the whole, through the cooperation of the jack 1, the top plate 2, the plate hook 4 and the mobile bracket 3, the hook of the plate hook 4 is extended into the opening hole of the manhole cover. By using the working principle of the jack 1, the top plate 2 drives the plate hook 4 to pry up the manhole cover, which has the advantages of saving time and effort. The method of prying up the manhole cover by the manhole cover opener and closeer changes the working method of the pipeline network inspection, from the original two people prying up the manhole cover with a crowbar to the combination of the jack 1 and the special frame. The manhole cover can be opened and moved by operating the jack 1, which reduces the work intensity. In the case of inconvenience for personnel to stand, one person can also pry up and move the manhole cover well, improving the safety of the staff's operation.

[0024] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not a limitation of the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to the present embodiment as needed, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
