[0028] The present application will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] In the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this application, the same or similar reference numerals correspond to the same or similar components. In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "top", "bottom", "left", "right", "front", "rear", "inner", "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, they are only for the convenience of describing this application, and do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the terms used to describe positional relationships in the drawings are only for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as limiting this patent. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-5 This application provides a quick-opening manhole wing nut sleeve according to one embodiment. The wing nut includes a nut portion and two wing portions respectively disposed on both sides of the nut portion. The sleeve includes a sleeve body 1. The lower side of the sleeve body 1 is provided with a receiving groove 101 that matches the shape of the wing nut. The receiving groove 101 has two symmetrically arranged baffles 2. The upper side of the sleeve body 1 is fixedly and vertically provided with a protrusion 3. The baffles 2 can block the outer side of the wing nut. The receiving groove 101 matches the wing nut to ensure that the wing nut is subjected to uniform force during loading and unloading. The protrusion 3 makes it easier for the operator to rotate the wing nut, making loading and unloading more convenient, improving work efficiency and enhancing safety.

[0031] like Figures 1-5As shown, the inner contour surface of the baffle 2 includes a central arc surface 201 that matches the shape of the nut part, a first broken line surface 202 and a second broken line surface 203 symmetrically connected to the two ends of the central arc surface 201, a first straight line surface 204 connected to one end of the first broken line surface 202, and a second straight line surface 205 connected to the second broken line surface 203. The first straight line surface 204 and the second straight line surface 205 are symmetrically arranged. The first broken line surface 202, the second broken line surface 203, the first straight line surface 204 and the second straight line surface 205 match the shape of the butterfly wing part. After the first broken line surface 202, the second broken line surface 203, the first straight line surface 204 and the second straight line surface 205 are completely matched with the shape of the butterfly wing part, the force is more even and the butterfly nut is prevented from being damaged.

[0032] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the lower contour surface of the baffle 2 includes a bottom plane 206 and bottom folded surfaces 207 symmetrically connected to both ends of the bottom plane 206. The bottom folded surfaces 207 are inclined upwards, the butterfly wing portion is inclined upwards, and the bottom folded surfaces 207 are inclined upwards to match the butterfly wing portion.

[0033] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the upper inner wall of the receiving groove 101 is provided with a circular clearance groove 102. The wing nut is generally installed on the bolt or screw. The clearance groove 102 can avoid the bolt or screw and prevent interference.

[0034] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the protrusion 3 is provided with a connecting hole 301 that passes through it along the axial direction for connecting tools. The connecting hole 301 can be connected to a torque wrench or power tool for loading and unloading, further improving work efficiency and reducing labor intensity.

[0035] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the protrusion 3 is waist-shaped, which makes it easier for a wrench to grip and rotate it, making the operation more convenient.

[0036] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the protrusion 3 is symmetrically provided with two fastening holes 302 that penetrate the wall of the connecting hole 301 in a radial direction. When a tool is inserted into the connecting hole 301, a fastening pin or fastening bolt can be inserted into the fastening hole 302 to fix the tool. This improves stability during operation and makes it less likely for the tool to come out of the connecting hole 301.

[0037] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the sleeve body 1 is provided with skirts 103 at both ends. The skirts 103 are connected to the baffle 2 to form an integral structure with high overall strength. When encountering a butterfly nut with a relatively long wing, the skirts 103 provide better force.

[0038] like Figures 1-5As shown, the first broken surface 202 and the first straight surface 204 are connected by a first inner transition arc surface 208, the second broken surface 203 and the second straight surface 205 are connected by a second inner transition arc surface 209, and the bottom plane 206 and the bottom broken surface 207 are connected by a bottom transition arc surface 210. This improves the stress structure, makes the baffle 2 less prone to breakage, and extends its service life.

[0039] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the connecting hole 301 is a rectangular hole or a circular threaded hole, which is set according to different tools.
