Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of precast manhole cover technology, and more specifically to an adjustable precast concrete manhole cover. Background Technology
[0002] In urban infrastructure construction, inspection wells are an important component of the urban underground pipe network system, used for inspecting and maintaining buried pipes and equipment. However, with frequent road renovations and expansions, the height difference between inspection wells and road surfaces has become increasingly prominent, posing a major challenge to urban traffic safety and the city's appearance.
[0003] Traditionally, manhole covers are mostly made of iron or cast iron. While these materials offer high strength and durability, they are also expensive and prone to theft, causing significant inconvenience for urban management and maintenance. Furthermore, due to potential height variations in each manhole and settlement issues caused by unstable foundations during road use, manhole covers often fail to maintain a level surface after installation, resulting in covers protruding or sinking into the road surface. This height difference not only affects the safety of pedestrians and vehicles but can also lead to traffic accidents such as tire blowouts and bumps, posing a safety hazard to urban traffic.
[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we will study and improve the existing structure and its shortcomings, and provide an adjustable precast concrete manhole cover in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Utility Model Content

The height of the manhole cover is adjustable, allowing for flexible adaptation to different road surface heights. This effectively solves the problem of height difference between the manhole and the road surface, greatly improving the safety of pedestrians and vehicles and reducing the risk of traffic accidents caused by uneven manhole covers. Secondly, the concrete-cast manhole cover body is more economical than traditional iron or cast iron materials, effectively reducing the risk of theft and alleviating the burden of urban management and maintenance. Furthermore, the manhole cover has a reasonable structural design and is easy to install. The height can be easily adjusted by rotating the handwheel, without the need for complicated construction tools or processes, thus improving installation efficiency and maintenance convenience.
[0007] Furthermore, at least one horizontally positioned support steel plate is embedded inside the manhole cover body to enhance the structural strength and stability of the manhole cover body.
[0008] Furthermore, the supporting steel plate is cross-shaped to improve the overall structural integrity and ease of the casting process.
[0009] Furthermore, the manhole cover body is made of steel fiber reinforced concrete to improve its crack resistance and durability.
[0010] Furthermore, during the concrete pouring process of the manhole cover body and the base, mold forming is used to ensure the dimensional accuracy and shape consistency of the manhole cover body and the base.

[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] Example 1: This example provides an adjustable-height precast concrete manhole cover, designed to adapt to different installation needs through a flexible adjustment mechanism, ensuring the stability and safety of the manhole cover. The specific structure is as follows:
[0024] Main structure: The main body 100 of the manhole cover consists of a base 110 and a manhole cover body 111, both of which are integrally cast using high-quality concrete to ensure the integrity and durability of the structure. The base 110 is designed in a ring shape, and its function is to support and stabilize the manhole cover body 111 to prevent the manhole cover from shifting or collapsing during use.
[0025] Adjustment mechanism design:
[0026] The boss and groove fit together: A groove 113 is designed at the bottom of the manhole cover body 111, and a threaded groove 114 is machined on the base 110 accordingly. The boss 112 is mounted on the top of the threaded rod 115 by a bearing. The shape of the boss 112 is perfectly matched with the groove 113, so that the manhole cover body 111 can be stably adjusted relative to the base 110 in the vertical direction.
[0027] Threaded adjustment system: The threaded rod 115 and the threaded groove 114 form a precise threaded connection. The handwheel 116 is fastened to the bottom of the threaded rod 115, which allows the operator to drive the threaded rod 115 up and down by rotating the handwheel 116, thereby adjusting the height of the boss 112 and the manhole cover body 111.
[0028] Operating principle: When the height of the manhole cover body 111 needs to be adjusted, the maintenance personnel only need to rotate the handwheel 116 clockwise or counterclockwise to raise or lower the manhole cover body 111 to adapt to different ground heights or maintenance needs, ensuring that the manhole cover remains flat with the surrounding road surface and reducing safety hazards.
[0029] Example 2:

This design not only enhances the structural strength and stability of the manhole cover body 111, but also optimizes the material flow during the casting process, simplifies the mold design, and improves production efficiency.
[0032] Material Upgrade: The 111 manhole cover body is made of steel fiber reinforced concrete. This material significantly improves the crack resistance and durability of concrete by adding short steel fibers, enabling the manhole cover to better resist long-term loads and environmental erosion.
[0033] Mold forming technology: Both the manhole cover body 111 and the base 110 are formed using high-precision molds during the concrete pouring process, ensuring the dimensional accuracy and shape consistency of each component, thereby improving the interchangeability and installation efficiency of the product.
[0034] Anti-slip surface treatment: The surface of the manhole cover body 111 is processed with anti-slip texture or coated with anti-slip coating. This design is intended to improve the safety of pedestrians and vehicles when walking or driving, and to avoid slipping or traffic accidents caused by wet road surfaces.
