Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of manhole covers, and in particular to a manhole cover with an inner cover. Background Art
[0002] As an essential component of urban infrastructure, manhole covers are widely used in fields such as tap water, telecommunications, electricity, gas, heat, fire protection, and sanitation. With economic development, the upgrading of infrastructure construction has also driven the development of manhole cover technology. To improve safety, some manhole covers that frequently need to be opened for observation or maintenance, such as power manhole covers, will have an internal anti-fall device installed. Anti-fall devices are generally divided into two types: one is a fully enclosed sealing plate structure used to prevent small foreign objects from falling into the well, and the other is a bracket structure with a mesh that can support people or animals while allowing personnel to observe the conditions inside the well.
[0003] While fully enclosed seals effectively prevent small foreign objects from entering the well, they must be removed entirely to observe the well interior, a cumbersome and time-consuming process. Mesh-perforated brackets, while convenient for observing the well interior, cannot completely prevent small foreign objects from entering due to the presence of the mesh, posing a potential safety hazard. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to solve the technical problem that the anti-fall device in the prior art cannot take into account both observation and blocking the entry of small foreign objects, the present application provides a manhole cover with an inner cover.

The state conversion of the sealing plate can be achieved by rotating a short distance, which is simple and quick to operate.
[0014] Optionally, the size of the sealing plate is equal to the size of the first observation hole.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first observation hole is closed, the handle contacts the shaft sleeve and the sealing plate is embedded in the first observation hole. When the first observation hole is to be opened, the sealing plate is driven by the handle to slide along the fixed axis until the sealing plate is disengaged from the first observation hole, and then the sealing plate is rotated to open the first observation hole.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0034] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 This application is described in further detail.
[0035] Example 1:
[0036] Example 1 of the present application discloses a manhole cover with an inner cover. Figure 1 , including a well seat 1, a drive mechanism 2, a bearing bracket 3 and a sealing plate 4. The direction of gravity is set to the downward direction. The bearing bracket 3 is fixedly installed on the well seat 1 and is located below the well seat 1. The bearing bracket 3 includes a support plate 31. The support plate 31 is a circular plate. The support plate 31 is provided with a plurality of first observation holes 32 evenly distributed along the circumference. The minimum spacing between adjacent first observation holes 32 is greater than the cross-sectional width of the first observation hole 32. A bearing boss 25 is protruding from the center of the support plate 31. A connecting through hole is formed on the support plate 31 and the bearing boss 25. The drive mechanism 2 is installed in the through hole. The bearing bracket 3 is used to support people or objects to prevent them from falling into the well.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 The drive mechanism 2 includes a bearing 21 and a rotating shaft 22. The bearing 21 is press-fitted into the through-hole of the bearing boss 25, securing the outer ring of the bearing 21 to the support plate 31. The rotating shaft 22 is press-fitted into the bearing 21, securing the inner ring of the bearing 21 to the bearing 21. The rotating shaft 22 is rotatable relative to the support plate 31. The rotating shaft 22 passes through the support plate 31 and extends in both the vertical and horizontal directions. A handle 23 is fixed to the rotating shaft 22 and is located above the support plate 31. The handle 23 is made of stainless steel with an anti-slip surface treatment.
[0038] Reference Figure 1 The sealing plate 4 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 22 and is located below the support plate 31. That is, the operator stands on the support plate 31 and turns the handle 23, which drives the sealing plate 4 to rotate. The sealing plate 4 has the same dimensions as the support plate 31 and is provided with a plurality of second observation holes 41. The number, size, and distribution of the second observation holes 41 are the same as those of the first observation holes 32.
[0039] The operating principle of the manhole cover with an inner cover in Example 1 of the present application is as follows: when an operator needs to observe the situation inside the manhole, the operator rotates the handle 23, thereby rotating the sealing plate 4, so that the second observation hole 41 is aligned with the first observation hole 32, and the first observation hole 32 is in an open state, allowing the operator to observe the situation inside the manhole through the observation hole. When it is necessary to prevent small foreign objects from entering the manhole, the operator rotates the handle 23, thereby rotating the sealing plate 4, so that the second observation hole 41 is offset from the first observation hole 32, and the first observation hole 32 is in a closed state.
[0040] Example 2:
[0041] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3Unlike Example 1, in this embodiment, only a first observation hole 32 is provided on the support plate 31, and the size of the sealing plate 4 is equal to that of the first observation hole 32. The drive mechanism 2 includes a handle 5 and a fixed shaft 24. The fixed shaft 24 is fixedly mounted at the center of the support plate 31 and extends in the vertical direction. A sleeve 26 is provided on the sliding sleeve of the fixed shaft 24. The handle 5 and the sealing plate 4 are integrally formed on the sleeve 26 and are located above the support plate 31, allowing the sleeve 26 to rotate around the fixed shaft 24 and move up and down along the fixed shaft 24.
[0042] The implementation principle of the manhole cover with an inner cover in Example 2 of the present application is as follows: when the operator wants to observe the situation in the well, he lifts the handle 5, so that the sleeve 26 moves up a distance along the fixed shaft 24 until the sealing plate 4 is completely separated from the first observation hole 32, and then the handle 5 is rotated to make the sealing plate 4 avoid the first observation hole 32; when it is necessary to prevent small foreign objects from entering the well, the operator rotates the handle 5 until the sealing plate 4 is aligned with the first observation hole 32, and moves the handle 5 downward until the sleeve 26 contacts the upper end surface of the support plate 31, and then the sealing plate 4 is just embedded in the first observation hole 32.
[0043] Example 3:
[0044] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 , different from Example 1, in this embodiment, only one first observation hole 32 is provided on the support plate 31, and the size of the sealing plate 4 is slightly larger than the size of the first observation hole 32. The driving mechanism 2 includes a push plate 6 fixedly mounted on the sealing plate 4. A guide rail 7 is fixedly connected to the support plate 31, and two guide rails 7 are provided. The guide rail 7 is L-shaped, and the sealing plate 4 is slidably mounted between the two guide rails 7. The L-shaped guide rail 7 and the upper end surface of the support plate 31 clamp the sealing plate 4 in the middle to limit the upward movement of the sealing plate 4. A locking ring 42 is fixedly mounted on the upper end surface of the sealing plate 4, and a locking hook 8 is movably mounted on the support plate 31. The two guide rails 7 are connected at one end close to the locking hook 8, which is used to limit the movement stroke of the sealing plate 4 toward the locking hook 8.
[0045] The implementation principle of the manhole cover with an inner cover in Example 3 of the present application is: when the operator wants to observe the situation inside the well, the lock hook 8 and the lock ring 42 are unlocked, and the push plate 6 is pushed to move the sealing plate 4 in the direction away from the lock hook 8 until the sealing plate 4 avoids the first observation hole 32; when it is necessary to prevent small foreign objects from entering the well, the operator pushes the push plate 6 to move the sealing plate 4 in the direction close to the lock hook 8 until the sealing plate 4 is aligned with the first observation hole 32.
[0046] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
