[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5This utility model provides an embodiment: a municipal ductile iron manhole cover, including a cover 3, with a mounting position 1 at the bottom of the cover 3. The mounting position 1 includes a mounting groove 121 corresponding to the cover 3. The cover 3 is placed in the mounting groove 121 and does not protrude from the top surface of the mounting position 1. Warning sections are provided on both sides of the mounting position 1 along the length of the cover 3. The warning sections include a light strip 5 and an indicator block 31. The top of the indicator block 31 is an arc surface 311, which is painted with a warning color. Anti-fall sections are provided on both sides of the cover 3 along the height direction. The anti-fall sections include an anti-fall net 4 located at the top of the cover 3 and a water baffle 2 located below the cover 3. The water baffle 2 is elastically fitted to the bottom of the mounting position 1. Positioning posts 32 are provided on both sides of the top length of the sub-3. The positioning posts 32 can fix the position of the anti-fall net 4. The anti-fall net 4 is provided with positioning holes 41 corresponding to the positioning posts 32. The anti-fall net 4 reduces the probability of small parts such as keys falling into the well shaft by people playing in the municipal square. The water baffle 2 is in a normally closed state. When a small object passes through the anti-fall net 4 and falls into the well shaft, it can be blocked by the water baffle 2, reducing the economic loss caused by the loss of the object. The arc surface 311 of the schematic block 31 can allow bicycles and skateboards playing in the municipal square to pass smoothly. The warning color on the arc surface 311 can remind the players to pay attention to safety. The light strip 5 is powered and illuminated at night, which serves as a warning at night.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4In this embodiment, the mounting position 1 includes a rectangular frame structure. A retaining edge 13 is provided above the outer wall of the rectangular frame structure to prevent the mounting position 1 from falling into the well bottom. The center of the mounting position 1 also includes a drain outlet 12. The length of the drain outlet 12 is less than the length of the mounting groove 121; the width of the drain outlet 12 is less than the width of the mounting groove 121. The retaining edge 13 fixes the mounting position 1, preventing it from falling into the well. The mounting groove 121 prevents the cover 3 from falling into the well. The drain outlet 12 is used for drainage. The baffle plate 2 includes a moving hole 21 through which a bolt 61 can be inserted into the mounting position 1. The bolt 61 includes a stud, and a spring 62 can be fitted onto the stud. The baffle plate 2 is located at the top of the spring 62 and at the bottom of the mounting position 1. The spring 62 pushes the cover 3 towards the mounting position 1. Spring 62 presses the baffle 2 towards the installation position 1, keeping the baffle 2 in a normally closed state. This allows for the possibility of rescuing small objects that fall through the anti-fall net 4 and light strip 5. The anti-fall net 4 and cover 3 can be opened to retrieve the fallen items from the baffle 2. The addition of the anti-fall net 4 to the cover 3 reduces the inconvenience for citizens to find municipal staff to open the anti-fall net 4 and cover 3. After a certain amount of water accumulates on the baffle 2, spring 62 is pressed down to drain the water into the manhole. The cover 3 has two integrally cast indicator blocks 31 on both sides along its length. Each indicator block 31 includes a slot 312, with the slots 312 of the two indicator blocks 31 facing each other. The arc surface 311 on the top of the indicator block 31 is painted orange, making the location of the manhole cover more conspicuous. The slots 312 are used to insert the anti-fall net 4.

[0024] Please see Figure 2 - Figure 5 In this embodiment, the top of the mounting position 1 is provided with light grooves 11 on both sides of the mounting slot 121. A light strip 5 can be placed in the light groove 11. A raised block 52 is provided at the bottom of the light strip 5. The top surface of the light strip 5 is flush with the top surface of the mounting position 1. The top of the light strip 5 has a light-transmitting surface 51, from which orange light is emitted. The raised block 52 reduces the possibility of water entering the internal circuit components of the light strip 5. The interior of the light strip 5 is filled with sealant. The orange light source can warn people playing in the municipal park at night. A water-avoiding hole 111 is provided on the side of the light groove 11 facing the drain outlet 12 to prevent water ingress. Hole 111 is connected to mounting groove 121. The height of the shim 52 is higher than the height of the water-avoiding hole 111. By raising the height of the light strip 5 through the shim 52, water entering the light groove 11 can be quickly discharged from the water-avoiding hole 111, reducing the risk of the light strip 5 being soaked in water and damaged by water. The top of the cover 3 has a through cover hole 33, and the top of the anti-fall net 4 has a through anti-fall hole 42. The area of ​​the cover hole 33 is larger than the area of ​​the anti-fall hole 42. The anti-fall hole 42 is smaller than the cover hole 33, so that small items cannot pass through the anti-fall hole 42. The length of the anti-fall hole 42 is less than two centimeters, and the width of the anti-fall hole 42 is less than five millimeters.

[0025] When a citizen's key accidentally slips from their pocket and falls onto the manhole cover assembly during operation, the anti-fall net 4 will initially block the key, preventing it from falling through the hole 33. If the key passes through the anti-fall hole 42 with a low probability and then falls onto the top of the baffle plate 2 through the hole 33, the baffle plate 2 will only bear the weight of the key or other small object, and the spring 62 will not deform, lifting the baffle plate 2 to fit snugly against the mounting position 1. Citizens can then call municipal staff for assistance in retrieving the key. The municipal staff will first arch the middle of the anti-fall net 4, opening the positioning hole 41 from the fixed position... Remove the support post 32, then pull the two sides of the anti-fall net 4 from the slot 312 and remove the anti-fall net 4. Then, pull up the cover 3 through the cover hole 33 with your hand. This way, you can take the key from above the baffle plate 2. During the day, the orange paint on the arc surface 311 warns citizens of the location of the manhole cover to pay attention to safety. At night, the light strip 5 emits orange light to warn citizens of the location of the manhole cover to pay attention to safety. When it rains, rainwater passes through the anti-fall hole 42 and the cover hole 33 and falls above the baffle plate 2. After accumulating a certain amount of water, the spring 62 contracts, and the rainwater flows out from the gap between the baffle plate 2 and the installation position 1.

[0026] Through the above steps, the anti-fall net 4 reduces the probability of small items such as keys falling into the manhole while playing in the municipal square. The baffle 2 is normally closed, so when a small object passes through the anti-fall net 4 and falls into the manhole, it can be blocked by the baffle 2, reducing the economic loss caused by the loss of the object. The arc surface 311 of the schematic block 31 allows bicycles and skateboards playing in the municipal square to pass smoothly. The warning color on the arc surface 311 can remind players to pay attention to safety. The light strip 5 is powered and illuminated at night, which serves as a warning at night. This solves the problem in the existing technology where the manhole cover assembly only has filter holes in the filter bucket, and the manhole cover cannot filter. This makes it very inconvenient for people playing in the municipal park to retrieve small items such as keys after they fall in.
