[0029] Embodiment

[0030] See Figures 1-4 as shown:

[0031] The present utility model provides an easy-to-carry and retractable single-person manhole cover opening tool, including: a lifting boom 10, a pressing rod 20, a traction part 30, a connecting part 40, a base 50 and a hoisting tool 60.

[0032] One end of the lifting boom 10 is connected to the connecting part 40, one end of the pressing rod 20 is hinged to the connecting part 40, and the connecting part 40 is installed on the base 50. One end of the traction part 30 is connected to the lifting boom 10, and the other end is connected to the pressing rod 20, and the length of the traction part 30 is adjustable. One end of the hoisting tool 60 is connected to the lifting boom 10, and the other end is engaged with the through hole of the manhole cover to be opened.

[0033] During specific implementation, the operator clamps the lifting tool 60 onto the through hole of the manhole cover to be opened, and then adjusts the length of the traction part 30 according to the weight of the manhole cover to be opened, so as to adjust the moment between the lifting rod 10 and the pressure rod 20. Then, the operator bends the pressure rod 20 backward, and the traction part 30 pulls the lifting rod 10. The lifting rod 10 drives the lifting tool 60 upward, thereby lifting the manhole cover to be opened and completing the operation of opening the manhole cover. Such a design is not only simple in structure and easy to operate, but also utilizes the lever principle, enabling an operator to easily complete the operation of opening the manhole cover.

[0034] The pressure rod 20 can be composed of a sleeve rod 21, an extension rod 22, and a T-shaped rod 23. One end of the sleeve rod 21 is connected to the connecting part 40. One end of the extension rod 22 is inserted into the sleeve rod 21; the T-shaped rod 23 is connected to the other end of the extension rod 22. Thus, the pressure rod 20 is set as a telescopic rod with adjustable length, which is convenient for the operator to adjust the moment according to the on-site use requirements, and is also convenient for storage and carrying.

[0035] The traction part 30 can be set as a rope or an iron chain 31. When it is set as the iron chain 31, a clip is provided on the pressure rod 20. When hoisting manhole covers of different weights, different parts of the iron chain 31 are clamped with the clip to complete the adjustment of the angle and distance between the pressure rod 20 and the lifting rod 10.

[0036] The lifting rod 10 is mainly composed of a first load-bearing rod 11, a second movable rod 12, a first connecting sleeve 65, and a second connecting sleeve 64. The lifting tool 60 includes a hook 63.

[0037] One end of the first load-bearing rod 11 is connected to the connecting part 40; the first connecting sleeve 65 is sleeved on the other end of the first load-bearing rod 11 and forms a sliding connection therewith, and the first connecting sleeve 65 is provided with a locking bolt 66 for restricting the first connecting sleeve 65 from sliding along the first load-bearing rod 11.

[0038] The second connecting sleeve 64 is sleeved on the second movable rod 12, and the second connecting sleeve 64 forms a rotational connection with the first connecting sleeve 65; there are two hooks 63, and they form a sliding connection with the second movable rod 12.

[0039] The hook 63 includes a connecting sleeve and an L-shaped hook; the connecting sleeve is sleeved on the second movable rod 12 and can slide along the length direction of the second movable rod 12, and the connecting sleeve is provided with a tightening bolt for restricting the connecting sleeve from sliding along the rod body of the second movable rod 12; the top of the L-shaped hook forms a rotational connection with the bottom of the connecting sleeve.

[0040] With such a setting, during specific implementation, when an operator performs an opening operation on manhole covers to be opened of the same type, first adjust the distance of the first connecting sleeve 65 on the first bearing rod 11 according to the weight of the manhole cover, so as to complete the adjustment of the torque, and then adjust the distance between the two hooks 63 according to the distance between the two through holes on the manhole cover to be opened. When in use, just insert the L-shaped hook into the two through holes on the manhole cover to be opened, rotate the L-shaped hook, and then move the pressing rod 20. Then the opening operation can be quickly carried out, which is simple, convenient and efficient.

[0041] The base 50 includes a connecting rod 51 and two moving wheels 52; both ends of the connecting rod 51 are respectively connected to the central axes of the two moving wheels 52, so that the base 50 is set to be movable, which is convenient for the operator to move the tool and the manhole cover to be opened, saving effort and being convenient.

[0042] The connecting part 40 can be set as a hinge chain 41; the hinge chain 41 is respectively connected to the ends of the lifting rod 10 and the pressing rod 20; the pressing rod 20 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the connecting rod 51, so that the connection part between the pressing rod 20 and the connecting rod 51 forms the fulcrum of the lever force. With such a setting, the manufacturing cost of the tool is reduced, the precision of the tool is ensured, and the durability of the tool in use is also improved.

[0043] In order to simplify the tool structure, the connecting part 40 can also be set as two U-shaped joints 42. The two U-shaped joints 42 are respectively connected to the ends of the lifting rod 10 and the pressing rod 20, and through holes are provided on the U-shaped joints 42. The middle part of the connecting rod 51 forms a plug-in fit with the through holes. With such a setting, the connecting rod 51 forms a hinge shaft, and the ends of the lifting rod 10 and the pressing rod 20 form a hinge around the connecting rod 51, thus simplifying the structure of the whole tool. This is beneficial to reducing the manufacturing cost of the tool, and at the same time such a tool meets the working requirements of opening relatively light manhole covers.

[0044] When the weight of the manhole cover to be lifted is relatively heavy. The base 50 can be set as a support platform 53 and rollers 54. The connecting part 40 includes a horizontal rod 43, a vertical rod 44 and a vertical sleeve 45.

[0045] One ends of the lifting rod 10 and the pressing rod 20 are both rotatably connected to the horizontal rod 43, so that the lifting rod 10 and the pressing rod 20 form a hinge around the horizontal rod 43, and the top end of the vertical rod 44 is perpendicularly connected to the horizontal rod 43, and the bottom end is inserted into the vertical sleeve 45 and forms a rotatable connection. The vertical sleeve 45 is perpendicularly connected to the top of the support platform 53; the rollers 54 are installed at the bottom of the support platform 53, and a locking structure for restricting the movement of the rollers 54 is provided on the rollers 54.

[0046] After the lifting rod 10 lifts the manhole cover, deflecting the pressing rod 20 to one side can make the tool drive the manhole cover to rotate, which is suitable for transferring a relatively heavy manhole cover to one side of the wellhead.

[0047] The roller 54 and the bottom of the support platform 53 form a detachable connection. The roller 54 is a universal wheel, which facilitates the operator to transfer the manhole cover according to the space near the wellhead.

[0048] It should be noted that if there are directional indications such as up, down, left, right, front, back... in the embodiments of the present invention, the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship and movement conditions between components in a specific posture as shown in the drawings. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.
