[0020] The sleeve 41 and the fixing seat 44 are respectively provided with mutually connected grooves 47 on the surfaces thereof, and a magnet 48 is provided in the groove 47, and the magnet 48 can move along the axial direction of the groove 47, and the two ends of the magnet 48 have a south pole and a north pole. A first magnetic component 49 or an elastic component is provided in the groove 47 of the fixing seat 44 to eject the magnet 48 toward the sleeve 41. After ejection, the magnet 48 is located at the sleeve joint of the sleeve 41 and the fixing seat 44. The first magnetic component 49 ejects the magnet 48 by the principle of repulsion of like-charged magnets, thereby causing the sleeve 41 and the fixing seat 44 to be engaged. 4 cannot rotate relative to each other. When the sleeve 41 needs to rotate, a second magnetic component that repels the magnet 48 is inserted into the sleeve 41. Since the repulsive force between the second magnetic component and the magnet 48 is greater than the repulsive force of the first magnetic component 49, the magnet 48 completely falls into the groove 47 located in the fixing seat 44, so that the sleeve 41 can rotate and the lock of the sleeve 41 is released. A spring 421 is provided between the first gear 42 and the top of the box body 5. The first gear 42 is provided with an annular groove 422 for facilitating the positioning of the spring 421.

The latch assembly 34 is unlocked or locked by rotating the rotating plate 33. The latch assembly 34 includes a guide seat 341 fixedly connected to the manhole cover 1, an insertion rod 342, and a connecting plate 343.

The limiting column 35 and the convex edge are provided to prevent the rotation angle of the rotating plate 33 from being too large, causing the insertion rod 342 to fall out of the guide seat 341.

[0022] The driving mechanism 2 includes a motor 21 installed in the box body 5, a worm 22 installed at the transmission end of the motor 21, and a gear set 23 installed in the box body 5 and meshing with each other. The input end of the gear set 23 is transmitted by cooperating with the worm 22, and its output end is meshed with the first gear 42. In this solution, the first gear 42 can be disengaged from the gear set 23 after being raised to a higher height by the lifting surface 45, and the first gear 42 remains meshed with the second gear 31. In this solution, even if the gear set 23 is damaged and cannot rotate, the lock of the sleeve 41 on the rotation of the magnet 48 is released by inserting a second magnetic component into the sleeve 41, so that the sleeve 41 is rotated to manually unlock or lock it, which can effectively avoid the removal of the manhole cover 1 by forced demolition and reduce maintenance costs.
