[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be apparently and completely described in combination with the drawings of the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-4 The opening and closing device suitable for the outdoor well lid in the embodiment increases the convenience of opening the well lid.

[0022] Specifically, the opening and closing device suitable for the outdoor well lid comprises a first pry bar 1, a sleeve 2, a support rod 3, a sliding sleeve 4, a connecting rod 5 and a second pry bar 6. The sleeve 2 is rotationally connected to the outside of the first pry bar 1, a handle is installed at the top end of the first pry bar 1, the support rod 3 is hingedly connected to the outside of the sleeve 2 through a hinge shaft, the sliding sleeve 4 is movably sleeved on the outside of the support rod 3, the connecting rod 5 is hingedly connected with the sliding sleeve 4 through a hinge shaft, and the second pry bar 6 is rotationally connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod 5. A crossbar 7 is transversely installed at the bottom end of the first pry bar 1 and the second pry bar 6.

[0023] When opening the well lid at one side, for example, Figure 3As shown, first, the first crowbar 1 is inserted into the opening hole on the manhole cover, then the first crowbar 1 is rotated so that the crossbar 7 at the bottom end of the second crowbar 6 is in a cross state with the opening hole, then one end of the supporting rod 3 is in contact with the ground, by pressing the top end of the first crowbar 1, the side of the manhole cover is lifted, at this time, the supporting rod 3 acts as a reaction force fulcrum, and the crossbar 7 of the first crowbar 1 forms a lever system, the operator only needs to press the handle at the top end of the first crowbar 1 downward, and the manhole cover can be easily lifted by the lever principle.

[0024] In addition, by movably arranging the sliding sleeve 4 outside the supporting rod 3, the distance between the first crowbar 1 and the second crowbar 6 can be adjusted, so that it is suitable for manhole covers of different sizes.

[0025] It should be noted that the length of the first crowbar 1 is greater than the length of the second crowbar 6, and the force arm is longer, so that the force applied by the operator can be amplified several times.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 4 In order to easily lift the manhole cover, the two crossbars 7 in the embodiment are located on the same horizontal line, in actual use, the bottom end of the first crowbar 1 and the second crowbar 6 are inserted into the inside of the two opening holes, at this time, the first crowbar 1 and the second crowbar 6 are in a parallel state, and the first crowbar 1 and the second crowbar 6 are perpendicular to the supporting rod 3, by rotating the first crowbar 1 and the second crowbar 6, the crossbar 7 at the bottom end of the first crowbar 1 and the second crowbar 6 is respectively in a cross state with the two opening holes, then two people on the supporting rod 3 can lift the manhole cover out of the inside of the sewer opening.

[0027] Further, in order to facilitate the fixation of the second crowbar 6, a resilient buckle 8 is installed on the outside of the supporting rod 3 corresponding to the second crowbar 6, and the shape of the resilient buckle 8 is C-shaped.

[0028] In actual use, when only one side of the manhole cover needs to be pried, the second crowbar 6 is embedded in the inside of the resilient buckle 8, and the second crowbar 6 is fixed by the resilient buckle 8.

[0029] It is worth noting that the material selection of the opening and closing device is also quite exquisite, all key components are made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials, to ensure that it can still maintain good mechanical properties and durability in outdoor harsh environments.
