[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of the power industry, and in particular to a cover plate that facilitates the opening and closing of cable trenches. Background Technology
[0002] To reduce the volume and render waste harmless, waste-to-energy plants will be built, and multiple cable trenches will be dug within these plants to lay cables underground.
[0003] After the cables are centrally organized in the cable trench, the trench is sealed with a cover plate. When the cables in the trench need maintenance, the cover plate needs to be removed. Currently, the cable trench is opened by prying open the cover plate with a pry bar. However, this method has the following drawbacks: During the process of prying the cover plate, it is difficult to control the point of force precisely, which may result in operator injury due to the pry bar rebounding or the cover plate suddenly loosening. The process of prying and lifting the cover plate is slow, especially for heavier cover plates or cover plates without a point of force, which may require damage to the power trench cover plate and sealing edge, and may take several minutes or even longer to complete the opening operation, further affecting the efficiency of cable maintenance in the cable trench. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problem of inconvenience in opening the cover plate in the prior art, and to propose a cover plate that facilitates the opening and closing of cable trenches.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0025] Reference Figures 1-4 A cover plate for easy opening and closing of cable trenches includes a plate body 1 located on the cable trench, an expansion bolt body 2 installed inside the plate body 1, a screw post 5 extending into the expansion bolt body 2 installed on the plate body 1, and a lifting ring 6 provided on the screw post 5; in some embodiments, the plate body 1 weighs less than 15kg, which can be easily lifted by one worker, and a heavier plate body 1 can be lifted using a simple cart, which can be connected to the lifting ring 6.
[0026] The lifting ring 6 and the screw post 5 extend to the upper part of the plate 1. The inner wall of the expansion bolt 2 is provided with a spiral groove that matches the screw post 5. There are four expansion bolts 2. The lifting ring 6 can be removed without opening the power cable trench, achieving a hidden effect and not affecting the aesthetics of the plate 1.
[0027] In some embodiments, the lifting ring (6) and the screw post (5) extend to the front end of the plate (1), and the inner wall of the expansion bolt (2) is provided with a spiral groove that cooperates with the screw post (5). There are four expansion bolts (2), and the four expansion bolts (2) are arranged side by side on the front end of the plate (1).
[0028] The expansion bolt body 2 consists of a fixed port 201 and a movable port 202. A movable block 9, corresponding to the screw post 5 and pressing against the movable port 202, is slidably sleeved inside the expansion bolt body 2. A thin rod 7 is fixedly installed inside the expansion bolt body 2, and a baffle 8 is fixedly installed on the thin rod 7. A spring 10 is welded between the baffle 8 and the movable block 9. There are two movable ports 202. The thin rod 7 is vertically set between the two movable ports 202. The spring 10 is vertically welded. The spring 10 not only resets the movable block 9, but also ensures that the movable block 9 will not cause a violent impact on the movable port 202 when it moves.
[0029] The plate 1 has a positioning groove 3 for placing the expansion bolt 2. The plate 1 also has an oblique through hole 4 that communicates with the positioning groove 3 and compresses the movable port 202. The movable port 202 has an inclined surface 11 that moves against the moving block 9. The moving block 9 is a frustum structure. By the correspondence between the moving block 9 and the inclined surface 11 on the movable port 202, the movable port 202 is continuously subjected to force and expands outward into the oblique through hole 4, thus connecting the expansion bolt 2 to the plate 1. This prevents the plate 1 from damaging the surrounding encapsulation and cable when it is raised. It also avoids the drawbacks of traditional perforated plate 1, such as handle corrosion, blockage, and falling debris. In emergency repair situations, the plate 1 can be quickly opened to shorten the fault handling time, reduce the impact of power outages on users, and thus improve the reliability and stability of the power system.
[0030] The functional principle of this utility model can be explained through the following operation methods:
[0031] When it is necessary to hoist plate 1;
[0032] Install four expansion bolts 2 in the positioning grooves 3 in the plate 1, and pull the lifting ring 6 so that the lifting ring 6 drives the screw post 5 to extend into the expansion bolt 2;
[0033] The traction ring 6 rotates, causing the ring 6 to drive the screw post 5 to correspond with the spiral groove, so that the screw post 5 rotates and moves downward within the fixed port 201. As the screw post 5 continues to move downward, it will squeeze the moving block 9. The spring 10 is stressed, so that the frustum surface of the moving block 9 gradually comes into contact with and squeezes the inclined surface 11 on the movable port 202. The movable port 202 will expand under continuous stress, so that the movable port 202 on the expansion bolt 2 extends into the inclined through hole 4, thereby achieving a clamp connection between the expansion bolt 2 and the plate 1, and connecting the screw post 5 on the ring 6 with the fixed port 201.
[0034] If the weight of plate 1 is relatively light, the operator can lift plate 1 directly using lifting ring 6. If the weight of plate 1 is relatively heavy, the output end of the simple cart extends to the lifting ring 6, and plate 1 is lifted using the simple cart, so that the operator can check the power status of the cable trench.
[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
