Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of manhole cover technology, specifically a manhole cover designed to prevent settlement. Background Technology
[0002] Manholes are drainage facilities used on city streets, roads, and sidewalks, while manhole covers are used to cover manholes or sewer inlets in underground drainage systems. Because manhole covers are frequently run over by passing vehicles, and the cover base has a small stress area, the pressure on the adjacent road surface is high, which can cause settlement and result in noticeable depressions in the manhole cover area. Sunken manhole covers pose safety hazards to pedestrians and vehicles and also affect the aesthetics of the road surface.
[0003] To address the above issues, utility model patent CN219547873U discloses a municipal anti-settlement manhole cover. This device supports the manhole base via a support unit. When the manhole base sinks, the lower support bolts can be adjusted to bring the manhole base back to a predetermined height. However, the support unit of this device has limited supporting force, and the force of the support bolts alone cannot maintain the manhole base at the required height for a long period, resulting in only a moderate anti-settlement effect. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a manhole cover that prevents settlement, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A settlement-prevention manhole cover includes a manhole base assembly and a manhole seal assembly. The manhole base assembly is located on top of a manhole casing, and the manhole seal assembly is located on top of the manhole base assembly. The manhole casing is embedded inside a geological layer. A cement layer is provided around the top of the manhole casing, and an asphalt layer is provided around the manhole base assembly. The manhole base assembly includes an upper ring, a middle ring, and a lower ring with decreasing inner diameters from top to bottom. A positioning ring is provided at the bottom of the lower ring, and the positioning ring is located inside the manhole casing and fits tightly against the inner wall of the manhole casing. Several bearing plates are provided on the outer walls of the upper, middle, and lower rings. Several extending ribs are fixedly connected to both sides of the bearing plates. The manhole seal assembly includes a manhole cover plate and several positioning blocks arranged circumferentially around it. A locking block is provided around the bottom of the manhole cover plate.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the inner sidewalls of the upper ring, middle ring and lower ring are sequentially stepped, and the outer sidewalls are sequentially inclined inward from top to bottom.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the upper ring, middle ring, lower ring and positioning ring are integrally cast.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: the top of the upper ring is provided with several positioning grooves around its perimeter, and the top wall of the lower ring is provided with a locking groove.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: the positioning block matches the positioning groove on the top of the upper ring, and the engaging block matches the engaging groove on the top wall of the lower ring.
[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model: several support blocks are circumferentially installed at the bottom of the lower ring of the well base assembly, and compression springs are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support blocks.
[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model: a number of support grooves are provided circumferentially at the top of the well shaft, and the support block and compression spring are located inside the support grooves.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. By inserting the bearing plate and extension ribs of the manhole cover assembly into the asphalt layer, making it part of the asphalt layer, the tightness of the connection between the manhole cover assembly and the asphalt layer is increased. This allows the load transferred from the manhole cover plate to the manhole cover assembly to be directly distributed to the asphalt layer through the bearing plate and extension ribs, reducing fatigue damage to the manhole cover assembly and manhole seal assembly caused by impact, protecting the asphalt pavement on the surface of the asphalt layer around the manhole cover plate, and improving the anti-settlement effect of the manhole cover.
[0015] 2. The manhole cover assembly is supported by support blocks and compression springs. When a vehicle drives over the road, the compression springs are squeezed to buffer the load, further reducing the load on the manhole cover assembly and the manhole seal assembly, and improving the anti-settlement effect of the manhole cover.

[0025] Example 1
[0026] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment of the present invention, a manhole cover for preventing settlement includes a manhole base assembly 1 and a manhole seal assembly 2. The manhole base assembly 1 is disposed on top of a manhole casing 3, and the manhole seal assembly 2 is disposed on top of the manhole base assembly 1. The manhole casing 3 is embedded inside a geological layer 4, and a cement layer 5 is provided around the top of the manhole casing 3. An asphalt layer 6 is provided around the manhole base assembly 1.
[0027] The well base assembly 1 includes an upper ring 11, a middle ring 12, and a lower ring 13, with their inner diameters decreasing sequentially from top to bottom. The inner sidewalls of the upper ring 11, middle ring 12, and lower ring 13 are sequentially stepped, and their outer sidewalls are sequentially inclined inward from top to bottom. The bottom of the lower ring 13 is provided with a positioning ring 14, which is located inside the well barrel 3 and fits tightly against the inner wall of the well barrel 3. The upper ring 11, middle ring 12, lower ring 13, and positioning ring 14 are integrally cast. The top of the upper ring 11 is provided with several positioning grooves 15 circumferentially, and the top wall of the lower ring 13 is provided with a locking groove 16. Several bearing plates 17 are provided extending outward from the outer sidewalls of the upper ring 11, middle ring 12, and lower ring 13, and multiple extending ribs 18 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bearing plates 17.
[0028] The well sealing assembly 2 includes a well cover plate 21 and a plurality of positioning blocks 22 arranged circumferentially around it. The positioning blocks 22 match the positioning grooves 15 on the top of the upper ring 11. The well cover plate 21 has locking blocks 23 around its bottom, which match the locking grooves 16 on the top wall of the lower ring 13. The well cover plate 21 can be locked onto the top of the well seat assembly 1 by means of the positioning blocks 22 and the locking blocks 23.
[0029] In a specific implementation of this utility model, a cement layer 5 is first poured on the outer side of the well shaft 3 along the geological layer 4, so that the top surface of the cement layer 5 is flush with the top end face of the well shaft 3. Then, the well seat assembly 1 is placed on top of the well shaft 3 using the positioning ring 14. After placement, an asphalt layer 6 is poured on the outer side of the well seat assembly 1, so that the asphalt layer 6 covers the well seat assembly 1. After the asphalt layer 6 is compacted and cooled, it is flush with the top surface of the well seat assembly 1. At this time, the bearing plate 17 and the extension ribs 18 of the well seat assembly 1 are inserted into the asphalt layer 6, making it into asphalt. As part of layer 6, the tightness of the connection between the upper ring 11, the middle ring 12 and the lower ring 13 and the asphalt layer 6 is increased. Finally, the well seal assembly 2 is installed on top of the well seat assembly 1, so that the load transmitted from the well cover plate 21 to the well seat assembly 1 can be directly distributed to the asphalt layer 6 through the bearing plate 17 and the extension ribs 18, reducing the fatigue damage caused by impact to the well seat assembly 1 and the well seal assembly 2, protecting the asphalt pavement on the surface of the asphalt layer 6 around the well cover plate 21, and improving the anti-settlement effect of the well cover.
