[0020] The Daxing Airport oil depot has added more than 30 invisible manhole covers. Workers open and inspect each manhole cover twice a year. However, compared with the old manhole covers, the invisible manhole covers are laid with nearly ten walkway bricks, which rapidly increases the weight of the manhole covers and makes lifting difficult. It requires 3-4 workers to work together to lift the manhole cover.
[0021] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 1-7 As shown:
[0022] An invisible manhole cover lifting device comprises: a lever arm 1, a bracket 2, and an adjustable fulcrum 3;
[0023] The lever arm 1 comprises a hoisting end 11 and a driving end 12 for suspending the invisible manhole cover, the lever arm 1 and the adjustable fulcrum 3 can slide relative to each other, and the adjustable fulcrum 3 is close to the hoisting end 11;
[0024] The adjustable fulcrum 3 includes an adjusting mechanism 31, and the adjustable fulcrum 3 is rotatably connected to the bracket 2;
[0025] The adjusting mechanism 31 is detachably connected to the lever arm 1 .
[0026] In these embodiments:
[0027] The main body of the lever arm 1 is a hard rod, which can be made of aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, nickel-based alloy, stainless steel, etc. It can be a hollow rod or a solid rod; the shape can be a round rod, a polygonal rod, a hollow rod, a sleeve rod, or one or more combinations of the above shapes.
[0028] The support 2 is used to support the lever 1 and the adjustable fulcrum 3 away from the ground. The support 2 can be set as a foot, a geometric platform, and a moving mechanism can be added, such as wheels, track wheels, etc.; a steering mechanism to assist the fulcrum to turn in the horizontal plane, such as installing a rotatable platform between the support and the adjustable fulcrum;
[0029] The adjustable fulcrum 3 is movable relative to the lever arm 1. The lever arm 1 can move axially within the adjustable fulcrum 3, and the adjustable fulcrum 3 can release or lock the lever arm 1. The adjustable fulcrum 3 includes at least one hollow tube with an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the lever arm 1. The lever arm 1 can pass through the hollow tube and move relative to it. The inner wall of the hollow tube can be circular or polygonal, and correspondingly, the outer wall of the lever arm 1 can be cylindrical or polygonal prism-shaped.
[0030] The adjustable fulcrum 3 is generally located at a position on the lever arm 1 close to the hoisting end, and the distance from this position to the hoisting end is less than or equal to one-third of the total length of the lever arm, which is convenient for workers to hoist the invisible manhole cover.
[0031] When the support is in place, or when it is necessary to adjust the positions of the driving end and the hoisting end and the lever arm ratio during the hoisting process, the adjustable fulcrum releases the lever arm 1 so that the lever arm can move axially within the adjustable fulcrum 3. When it is not necessary to change the lever arm 1, the adjustable fulcrum locks the lever arm 1 to prevent accidental sliding. Sometimes the invisible manhole cover is set at the edge of the road or building, and the placement position of the support may be limited. The movable lever arm 1 can provide a larger operating space. By moving the lever arm 1 axially towards the driving end, the torque at the driving end increases, making it easier to lift the manhole cover. It is also possible to flexibly adjust the position of the lever arm and the manhole cover without moving the support.
[0032] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figures 1-7 shown, the difference from the above embodiments is that:
[0033] The support 2 includes a traveling mechanism 21 and a support rod 22;
[0034] The traveling mechanism 21 includes at least one wheel 211 and a wheel clamp 212. The wheel 211 is rotatably installed at the bottom end of the support 2, and the opening of the wheel clamp 212 is detachably connected to the wheel 211. The wheel clamp 212 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support rod 22.
[0035] In these embodiments:
[0036] The traveling mechanism 21 assists the movement of the support 2. In this embodiment, the traveling mechanism includes a wheel 211 and a wheel clamp 212. The wheel can be a hollow tire or a solid tire; the shape can be a spherical tire or a circular tire; other structures such as a universal wheel or a McMullen wheel can also be used;
[0037] When it is not necessary to move the support, the wheel clamp 212 locks the wheel or the axle, fixing the overall position of the support 2, facilitating operation, reducing the risk of accidental movement, and improving the safety of the operation.
[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figures 1-7 shown, the difference from the above embodiments is that:
[0039] The bracket 2 includes a support mechanism 23, and the support mechanism 23 includes a plurality of feet that can contact the ground.
[0040] In these embodiments:
[0041] The support mechanism 23 is used to support and stabilize the position of the bracket. The feet form a tripod structure to provide stable support for the bracket, fix the overall position of the bracket 2, facilitate operation, reduce the risk of accidental movement, and improve the safety of operation.
[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figures 1-7 shown, the difference from the above embodiments is that:
[0043] The lever arm 1 includes a handle 13, and the handle 13 is fixedly connected to the driving end 12.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figures 1-7 shown, the difference from the above embodiments is that:
[0047] The lever arm 1 includes a control mechanism 14, and the control mechanism 14 includes a first switch 141 and a second switch 142.
[0048] The first switch 141, the second switch 142, and the adjustable fulcrum 3 are electrically connected in sequence.
[0049] In these embodiments:
[0050] The first switch 141 and the second switch 142 are series switches. When both the first switch 141 and the second switch 142 are pressed, the lever arm 1 can slide in the adjustable fulcrum 3. The adjustable fulcrum includes a limit groove, and the lever arm includes a protrusion. The protrusion and the limit groove can limit the overall axial movement of the lever arm along the lever arm axis and prevent circumferential rotation in the adjustable fulcrum.
[0051] When loaded or unloaded, the device itself has a certain weight. Using a double-switch start can prevent accidental touch and cause the lever arm to slide under unexpected conditions, improving control safety.
[0052] When the first switch 141 and the second switch 142 are released, the adjustable fulcrum 3 and the lever arm 1 are automatically relatively fixed, preventing the lever arm from sliding under unexpected conditions due to untimely reset and improving control safety.
[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, asFigures 1-7 As shown, the difference from the above embodiments lies in that:
[0054] The adjustable fulcrum 3 includes an adjustment mechanism 31 and a movable clamping component 32. The movable clamping component 32 is clamped with the force arm 1, and the adjustment mechanism 31 is movably connected to the movable clamping component 32.

[0058] The slider sleeve shaft 321 is fixedly connected to the slide table 313, and the slider sleeve shaft 321 is clamped with the clamping hole 15 of the force arm 1.
[0059] In these embodiments:
[0060] The adjustment mechanism 31 drives the movable clamping component 32 to be clamped with the force arm 1; a plurality of clamping holes are provided on the force arm 1, and their shapes can be circular or polygonal; the slider sleeve shaft 321 in the corresponding movable clamping component 32 can be a cylinder or a prism; the controllable motor 311 drives the lead screw slider 312 to slide on the slide table 313, thereby driving the slider sleeve shaft 321 to move in the clamping hole 15, playing a role in releasing and locking the force arm.
[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 1-7 As shown, the difference from the above embodiments lies in that:
[0062] The adjustment mechanism 31 further includes a power supply 314, a control module 315, and a pulse generator 316;
[0063] The controllable motor 311, the control module 315, and the pulse generator 316 are all electrically connected to the power supply 314;
[0064] The controllable motor 311 and the pulse generator 316 are both electrically connected to the control module 315.
[0065] In these embodiments:
[0066] The controllable motor 311 can be a stepper motor, which requires a pulse generator for control. The control module receives the release signals sent by the first switch 141 and the second switch 142, controls the pulse generator to send pulses, and the controllable motor 311 drives the slider sleeve shaft 321 to withdraw from the clamping hole 15, and the lever arm is released from the adjustable fulcrum;
[0067] 28 Micro screw rod slide table, such as HGX28.
[0068] If either the first switch 141 or the second switch 142 is not triggered, or returns to its original state after being triggered, the control module controls the pulse generator to send pulses, and the controllable motor 311 drives the slider sleeve shaft 321 to be clamped into the clamping hole 15, and the lever arm is locked in the adjustable fulcrum.
[0069] According to the comprehensive design of the controllable motor 311, the control module 315, and the pulse generator 316 in the adjustment mechanism 31, the automatic locking function improves the safety of the equipment. At the same time, it realizes the flexible release and automatic locking of the adjustable fulcrum and the lever arm, improving the operation convenience.

[0077] The lifting cable 112 can be a high-strength flexible cable such as a steel cable, nylon rope, metal chain, etc.; a rigid boom can also be selected;
[0078] The lifting hook 113 can be a rigid hook member such as a magnetic suction hook or an iron hook, and is fixedly connected to the lifting cable 112.
[0079] The lifting cable 112 can provide a certain range of movement for the lifting hook 113, facilitating the connection of the lifting hook 113 with the hidden manhole cover and lifting the manhole cover.
[0080] The technical effects of the present utility model are multi-faceted.
[0081] The dual switches avoid accidental touch during operation, eliminate potential safety hazards, and improve safety. At the same time, they control the release and locking of the adjustable fulcrum and the lever arm, improving the operation convenience of the device. The movable lever arm 1 can provide a larger operating space. Moving the lever arm 1 axially towards the driving end increases the torque at the driving end, making it easier to lift the manhole cover. It is also possible to flexibly adjust the position of the lever arm and the manhole cover without moving the bracket.
[0082] Although the present utility model has been described in detail above with general descriptions, specific embodiments and tests, based on the present utility model, some modifications or improvements can be made, which are obvious to those skilled in the art.
