Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of manholes for steel box girder bridges, and particularly relates to a temporary manhole cover plate used in the welding of steel box girder bridges. Background Technology

[0002] Steel box girder bridges are usually part of the bridge structure. During construction, manholes are provided on the steel box girder bridges to allow workers to enter the interior for welding operations. During the welding process, the manholes of the steel box girder bridges are usually not completely sealed and need to be kept ventilated.

[0003] Most manhole cover structures adopt an integral structure. When the cover is closed, it will isolate the interior of the steel box girder bridge from the outside world. After the manhole is closed, the working environment of the operators deteriorates. However, keeping it open during welding will pose a safety hazard to people passing by. It is also necessary to shield it to reduce safety hazards. Existing technical structures cannot meet the diversified shielding needs of manholes during construction. Utility Model Content

The sliding rod slides in the sliding groove formed by the content receiving groove and the sliding hole. The lock is disposed inside the outer fixed seat, and the lock tongue extends into the sliding hole.

[0010] Preferably, the sliding rod portion extends into a sliding groove, and the portion of the sliding rod extending into the sliding groove prevents the hinge rod from rotating.

[0011] Preferably, the outer fixing seat is further provided with a locking tongue groove, which is connected to the sliding hole. The locking tongue of the lock is located in the locking tongue groove, and when the locking tongue rotates, it extends from the locking tongue groove into the sliding hole.

[0012] Preferably, the sliding rod is provided with two sets of limiting units, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the sliding rod. The limiting unit includes a limiting ring and a locking groove. When the locking tongue rotates, it extends from the locking tongue groove into the sliding hole and engages with the locking groove.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs; the terminology used herein in the specification of the application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application; the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and foregoing drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, or foregoing drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order.

[0027] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0028] This utility model embodiment provides a temporary manhole cover plate for welding steel box girder bridges, applied to the outside of the manhole 110 of the steel box girder bridge 10, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, the temporary manhole cover plate used for welding steel box girder bridges includes:

[0029] The protective component 210 and the grille protective component 220 are stacked to form a protective unit. The protective component 210 includes a panel 211 and a hinge rod 212 disposed on one side of the panel 211. The grille protective component 220 includes a grille mesh 221 and connecting rods 222 disposed on the grille mesh 221. The panel 211 adopts an integral structure and mainly undertakes the function of complete sealing, while the grille mesh 221 constitutes an air vent communicating with the outside air.

[0030] The rotating seat 300 consists of two sets, namely a first rotating seat 301 and a second rotating seat 302. The first rotating seat 301 and the second rotating seat 302 are arranged opposite to each other. The protective member 210 and the grid protective member 220 are simultaneously hinged to the first rotating seat 301 and the second rotating seat 302. Therefore, both the protective member 210 and the grid protective member 220 can rotate around the first rotating seat 301 and the second rotating seat 302. The first rotating seat 301 and the second rotating seat 302 have the same structure.

[0031] The first rotating seat 301 includes a connecting seat 310 fixedly connected to the steel box bridge 10 and a rotating shaft 320 passing through the connecting seat 310; the connecting rod 222 and the hinge rod 212 are respectively hinged to the portions of the rotating shaft 320 located on both sides of the connecting seat 310; both ends of the rotating shaft 320 extend out of the connecting seat 310, and the connecting rod 222 and the hinge rod 212 are respectively hinged to both sides of the connecting seat 310; the purpose here is to set a limiting member to restrict the rotation of the protective member 210. The limiting member is set on the first rotating seat 301, and the limiting member and the hinge rod 212 are located on the same side of the connecting seat 310. In this way, the limiting member can only interfere with the rotation of the hinge rod 212, and the connecting rod 222 can still rotate because its rotation area is not located on the same side as the hinge rod 212;

[0032] The limiting component includes an outer fixing base 314, a sliding rod 330 sliding on the outer fixing base 314, an inner receiving groove 312 disposed inside the first rotating seat 301, and a lock 340; the sliding rod 330 slides through a sliding hole 311 with a different diameter structure.

[0033] The content receiving groove 312 is connected to the sliding hole 311 provided on the outer fixing base 314. The sliding rod 330 slides in the sliding groove formed by the content receiving groove 312 and the sliding hole 311. A portion of the sliding rod 330 extends out of the sliding groove, and the portion of the sliding rod 330 extending out of the sliding groove blocks the rotation of the hinge rod 212.

[0034] The lock 340 is disposed inside the outer fixing seat 314. The lock tongue of the lock 340 can extend into the sliding hole 311 through the lock tongue groove 313 provided inside the outer fixing seat 314. The lock tongue can restrict the sliding rod 330 from sliding in the sliding groove. For example, when it is necessary to restrict the sliding rod 330 from sliding, the lock tongue can lock the sliding rod 330, so that the sliding rod 330 can block the hinge rod 212 from rotating.

[0035] In practical applications, the grille protective component 220 is deflected and covers the manhole 110, while the protective component 210 is on the side away from the manhole 110. The sliding rod 330 blocks the rotation path of the hinge rod 212. At this time, the grille protective component 220 provides temporary support to prevent personnel from falling into the manhole and ensures airflow during welding inside the manhole. This prevents the structure of the protective component 210 from affecting airflow. Since the grille protective component 220 can be opened at this time without hindrance, operators can freely enter and exit. After welding is completed, the protective component 210 is also placed over the grille protective component 220, and the limiting component is locked again. Because the protective component 210 cannot return to the side away from the manhole 110, the grille protective component 220 cannot be opened. This prevents unauthorized personnel from accidentally entering the manhole 110 or opening the protective components 210 and 220, which could lead to accidental falls. When the protective components 210 and 220 are closed, it reduces the entry of external debris into the steel box girder bridge structure.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, the sliding rod 330 is provided with two sets of limiting units, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the sliding rod 330. The limiting unit includes a limiting ring 331 and a locking groove 332. When the locking tongue rotates, it extends from the locking tongue groove 313 into the sliding hole 311 and engages in the locking groove 332.

[0037] In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the content receiving groove 312 is larger than the outer diameter of the limiting ring 331, and the inner diameter of the sliding hole 311 is smaller than the outer diameter of the limiting ring 331. When one end of the sliding rod 330 is inserted into the content receiving groove 312 and contacts the end of the content receiving groove 312, the sliding rod 330 will release the interference to the rotation path of the hinge rod 212. When the sliding rod 330 is pulled outward, the sliding rod 330 will interfere with the rotation path of the hinge rod 212.

[0038] The distance between the two sets of limiting rings 331 is greater than the depth of the sliding hole 311, which satisfies the back-and-forth movement limit and helps the locking groove 332 reach the lock tongue groove 313, so that the locking of the lock 340 can accurately enter the locking groove 332. The lock 340 adopts the existing lock structure.

However, those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the described order of actions, as some steps may be performed in other orders or simultaneously according to the present invention.
