[0037] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0038] An embodiment of a theft - proof portable water meter well cover of the present invention is as Figures 1 to 9 shown, and includes a well cover body 1 and a locking device 2 provided at the bottom of the well cover body 1. The locking device 2 includes a lock fixedly arranged through the well cover body 1. The lock includes a lock housing 210 fixedly arranged through the well cover body 1. A lock core 207 is arranged inside the lock housing 210. The key insertion hole of the lock core 207 is located on one side of the top of the well cover body 1. The other end of the lock core 207 extends out of the bottom end face of the well cover body 1. Inserting and rotating the key into the lock core 207 can drive the lock core 207 to rotate. Other structures of the lock are prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0039] A gear 206 is arranged at the end of the lock core 207 on one side of the bottom of the well cover body 1. The gear 206 is circumferentially limited on the lock core 207. The rotation of the lock core 207 can drive the gear 206 to rotate. The rotation plane of the gear 206 is parallel to the well cover body 1. A waist - shaped hole is opened in the middle of the gear 206. The cross - sectional shape of the end of the lock core 207 matches the waist - shaped hole of the gear 206. When the lock core 207 rotates, it can drive the gear 206 to rotate.

[0040] A rack 205 is slidably arranged at the bottom of the well cover body 1. The sliding plane where the rack 205 is located is parallel to the bottom surface of the well cover body 1. The rack 205 meshes with the gear 206. When the gear 206 rotates counter - clockwise or clockwise, it drives the rack 205 to reciprocate linearly at the bottom of the well cover body 1.

[0041] One end of the rack 205 is detachably connected to the pin shaft 202. The movement of the rack 205 can drive the pin shaft 202 to reciprocate linearly. During the reciprocating linear movement, the other end of the pin shaft 202 can extend out of the circumferential edge of the well cover body 1 and retract to the bottom side of the well cover body 1. Cover the well cover on the wellbore, rotate the lock core 207 to make the pin shaft 202 extend out of the edge of the well cover and insert it into the pin hole on the inner wall of the wellbore, lock the well cover in the wellbore to prevent the well cover from being lost, thereby preventing children from falling into the wellbore and causing accidents, and protecting the water supply device of the water supply well. In other embodiments, the rack 205 can also be integrally provided with the pin shaft 202.

[0042] To ensure the stable operation of the gear 206 and the rack 205, a bottom plate 208 is provided on the bottom surface of the well cover body 1. In this embodiment, the bottom plate 208 is detachably provided on the well cover body 1 by screws. Limiting protrusions 209 are provided on the circumferential edge of the bottom surface of the bottom plate 208. The limiting protrusions 209 and the bottom plate 208 form a box-shaped body. The back of the rack 205 is slidably arranged on one side of the inner wall of the limiting protrusion 209 to prevent the rack 205 and the gear 206 from disengaging in the radial direction.

[0043] The movement range of the rack 205 is limited by the limiting protrusion 209. The limiting protrusion 209 has a blocking effect on the rack 205 to prevent the rack 205 from disengaging in the moving direction. A cover plate 201 is provided on the limiting protrusion 209. The cover plate 201 is installed on the limiting protrusion 209 by screws to prevent the rack 205 and the gear 206 from disengaging in the axial direction and prevent foreign objects from entering the box body and damaging the gear 206 and the rack 205.

[0044] A connecting structure 204 is provided at one end of the rack 205. A notch is formed on the limiting protrusion 209. The connecting structure 204 slidably passes through the notch. The outer end of the connecting structure 204 located outside the box body is detachably connected to the pin shaft 202. In this embodiment, an insertion hole is provided at the outer end of the connecting structure 204. The pin shaft 202 is integrally L-shaped. The bent part of the pin shaft 202 is inserted and passes through the insertion hole of the connecting structure 204, and is inserted into the pin hole at the end of the bent part of the pin shaft 202 extending out of the insertion hole by an opening pin to prevent the pin shaft 202 from disengaging from the connecting structure 204. In this embodiment, a plurality of insertion holes are distributed on the connecting structure 204 along the moving direction of the pin shaft 202, which is convenient to adjust the insertion position of the pin shaft 202 according to needs, so as to adjust the extending length of the pin shaft 202 to adapt to more specifications of wellbores. In other embodiments, threads can be provided at the end of the bent part of the pin shaft 202, and the pin shaft 202 is fixedly connected to the connecting structure 204 by a nut.

[0045] To prevent the pin shaft 202 from detaching from the connection structure 204, the pin shaft 202 can also be limited on the manhole cover body 1, so that the pin shaft 202 only moves radially along the bottom of the manhole cover body 1, thereby restricting the end of the pin shaft 202 within the insertion hole of the connection structure 204. Specifically: an installation platform 107 is provided at the bottom of the manhole cover body 1, and a semi-circular ring 203 is detachably arranged on the top of the installation platform 107. The pin shaft 202 is inserted into the limiting hole formed by the installation platform 107 and the semi-circular ring 203 to prevent the pin shaft 202 from moving in other directions except the moving direction. At this time, if the bent portion of the pin shaft 202 is inserted into the insertion hole of the connection structure 204, no nut or split pin is required to ensure reliable connection between the pin shaft 202 and the connection structure 204. Since the installation space between the pin shaft 202 and the manhole cover body 1 is small, by means of the installation ring 203, it is possible to avoid installing a nut or split pin between the pin shaft 202 and the manhole cover body 1, thus facilitating the assembly of the manhole cover. In this embodiment, in order to ensure the stable sliding of the pin shaft 202, a plurality of installation platforms 107 and semi-circular rings 203 are arranged in the sliding direction of the pin shaft 202 to provide multiple limiting points; both ends of the semi-circular ring 203 are installed on both sides of the top of the installation platform 107 by screws.

[0046] In this embodiment, in order to firmly limit the manhole cover in the wellbore, a rack 205 is engaged on both sides of the gear 206. When the gear 206 rotates, the two racks 205 move in opposite directions. The ends of the two racks 205 are both connected to the pin shaft 202, and the moving directions of the pin shaft 202 are opposite, so that the two pin shafts 202 are respectively inserted into the corresponding pin holes on the inner wall of the wellbore, strengthening the locking strength between the manhole cover and the wellbore. The rack 205, the pin shaft 202, their matching structures, and their matching structures with the manhole cover body 1 are symmetrically arranged and will not be elaborated here. To avoid reducing the overall strength of the manhole cover by setting the installation hole of the lock in the middle position of the manhole cover, the lock is offset on the manhole cover body 1. Therefore, when two pin shafts 202 are provided, the lengths of the two pin shafts 202 are different. In addition, the rack 205, the pin shaft 202, their matching structures, and their matching structures with the manhole cover body 1 are all the same and symmetric.

[0047] Anti-slip blocks are distributed on the top surface of the manhole cover body 1, and an avoidance groove 102 is provided. A handle 101 is arranged at the opening of the avoidance groove 102. The handle 101 straddles the opening of the avoidance groove 102, and the back of the handle is not higher than the avoidance groove 102 to ensure the overall flatness of the manhole cover. The inner side of the handle 101 is provided with a groove that is convenient for holding by hand and cooperating with the fingers.

[0048] A protective cover 103 is provided at the opening of the installation hole for installing a lock on the manhole cover body 1. The protective cover 103 is inserted and covered at the opening of the installation hole to prevent dust and other sundries from falling into the lock hole and causing damage to the lock. One end of the protective cover 103 is circular and matches the installation hole, and the other end is connected to the manhole cover body 1. After uncovering the protective cover 103, keep the anti-slip cover 103 connected to the manhole cover body 1, and then insert the key into the lock to lock or unlock it.

[0049] A marking area 104 for setting marks is provided on the manhole cover body 1.

[0050] Reinforcing ribs 105 are provided at the bottom of the manhole cover body 1, and a rope tying opening 106 is formed on the reinforcing ribs 105. A rope can be tied to the water pipe in the wellbore and the rope is tied to the rope tying opening 106. After removing the manhole cover, the rope can be lifted to facilitate the removal and use of the water pipe.

[0051] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
