[0027] The stabilizing block 23 is preferably an obtuse isosceles triangle, and the second angle 32 is equal to the third angle 33 .

[0028] Preferably, the outer surface of the stabilizing block 23 is an inwardly concave arc surface 34 .

[0029] The connection between the arc surface 34 of the plurality of stabilizing blocks 23 and the manhole cover is made more stable and less prone to shaking, thereby preventing the manhole cover from falling and being damaged.

[0030] Among them, the arc surface between the first corner 31 and the second corner 32 and the corresponding rounded corner can contact the upper end surface of the accommodating groove 25, and when the lifting rod 24 moves downward, it can push the stabilizing block 23 to rotate outward and expand; the arc surface between the second corner 32 and the third corner 33 and the corresponding rounded corner can contact the lower end surface of the accommodating groove 25, and when the lifting rod 24 moves upward, it can push the stabilizing block 23 to rotate inward and retract.

[0031] Preferably, an adjusting knob 26 is rotatably provided at the upper end of the connecting tube 22 , an internal thread is provided on the adjusting knob 26 , and an external thread is correspondingly provided at the top of the lifting rod 24 .

[0032] The outer surface of the adjusting knob 26 is provided with anti-slip grooves.

[0033] Preferably, a connecting frame 27 is fixed to the end of the rod body 10 , and a connecting cylinder 22 is rotatably arranged inside the connecting frame 27 .

[0034] Among them, reinforcing ribs are provided at the fixing points between the end of the rod body 10 and the connecting frame 27 to enhance the connection stability between the two.

[0035] Preferably, see Figure 1 , 4 A slide groove 41 is provided in the middle of the rod body 10 along its length direction, and an adjustment frame 42 is slidably provided in the slide groove 41. The bottom of the adjustment frame 42 is fixed to the upper end of the support rod 21, and the lower end of the support rod 21 can contact the ground to adjust the distance between the support rod 21 and the connecting tube 22, that is, the degree of effort when the device is used can be adjusted according to actual use.

[0036] The connection frame 27 is provided with a sliding hole, and the rod body 10 is sleeved in the sliding hole and slides relatively therein.

[0037] Wherein, reinforcing ribs are provided at the fixing positions of the connection frame 27 and the upper ends of the support rods 21 to enhance the connection stability between the two.

[0038] Preferably, an adjustment slot 43 is provided in the slide slot 41, and a plurality of adjustment slots 43 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the rod body 10;

[0039] The adjusting frame 42 is provided with a telescopic slot 44 , in which a bayonet 46 is installed via a compression spring 45 . The end of the bayonet 46 slides along the slide slot 41 and can be engaged with the adjusting slot 43 .

[0040] Among them, two slide grooves 41 are symmetrically arranged about the vertical center plane of the rod body 10. Of course, two groups of adjustment grooves 43, telescopic grooves 44, compression springs 45, and latches 46 are also correspondingly arranged to enhance the connection stability between the adjustment frame 42 and the rod body 10.

[0041] Among them, the transverse cross-section of the pin 46 is square, the end of the pin 46 is provided with a rounded corner, and the bottom of the adjustment groove 43 is correspondingly provided with a rounded corner. Those skilled in the art can change the depth of the adjustment groove 43 according to actual applications to achieve that when the end of the pin 46 slides along the slide groove 41, it can switch to engage with different adjustment grooves 43, that is, it can slide out from one adjustment groove 43 and slide into another adjustment groove 43.

[0042] Preferably, the support rod 21 is tilted from top to bottom and from away from the connecting tube 22 to close to the connecting tube 22 to achieve more labor-saving opening of the manhole cover.

[0043] Preferably, the lower end cross bar 28 of the support rod 21 is fixed vertically, and the cross bar 28 can contact the ground to increase the contact area between the support rod 21 and the ground and enhance the stability when opening the manhole cover.

[0044] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:

[0045] When the manhole cover needs to be opened, first align the connecting tube 22 and insert it into the hole on the manhole cover, move the adjustment frame 42 to make it slide along the slide groove 41, and lock the distance between the support rod 21 and the connecting tube 22 through the adjustment groove 43 and the bayonet 46, so that the cross bar 28 is in contact with the ground as a support;

[0046] By turning the adjusting knob 26, the lifting rod 24 is driven to slide downward through the threaded fit. Since the upper end surface of the receiving groove 25 at the bottom of the lifting rod 24 contacts the arc surface between the first corner 31 and the second corner 32 of the stabilizing block 23, the stabilizing block 23 is pushed to rotate outward and expand, so that the arc surface 34 between the first corner 31 and the third corner 33 of the stabilizing block 23 contacts the lower surface of the manhole cover. The connection between the arc surfaces 34 of the multiple stabilizing blocks 23 and the manhole cover is more stable and not easy to shake, thereby preventing the manhole cover from falling and being damaged. Compared with the traditional Latin hook method, it is not easy to damage the manhole cover, especially the manhole cover with material aging caused by long-term use; then press downward the end of the rod body 10 away from the connecting tube 22 to realize more labor-saving opening of the manhole cover, save manpower, and improve work efficiency;

[0047] After opening and placing the manhole cover, rotate the adjusting knob 26 in the opposite direction to slide the lifting rod 24 upward. Since the lower end surface of the receiving groove 25 at the bottom of the lifting rod 24 contacts the arc surface between the second corner 32 and the third corner 33 of the stabilizing block 23, the stabilizing block 23 is pushed to rotate inward and retract, so as to separate the device from the manhole cover.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the utility model.
