Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of manhole cover opening technology, specifically relating to a manhole opening device that can improve the efficiency of opening manhole covers. Background Technology
[0002] In current municipal maintenance, power line repair, and communication line laying operations, manhole cover hooks are widely used as the primary tool for opening, moving, or temporarily securing manhole covers. However, their technical limitations are becoming increasingly apparent. With the acceleration of urbanization and the increasing complexity of infrastructure, traditional manhole cover hooks have revealed the following significant problems when dealing with diverse and demanding operating environments:
[0003] 1. Safety issues: Traditional manhole cover hooks mainly rely on manual operation, which poses many safety hazards. On the one hand, the manhole cover may suddenly loosen due to rust, jamming, or other reasons during the opening process, causing the operator to fall or be injured. On the other hand, some hooks are designed with insufficient strength and cannot withstand the weight of oversized or severely rusted manhole covers, posing a risk of breakage and further exacerbating the danger of the operation.
[0004] 2. Limited adaptability: The lack of uniformity in manhole cover specifications is a key factor restricting the universality of traditional tools. Manhole covers of different regions and for different purposes differ in size and shape, making it difficult for traditional hooks to achieve "one tool for multiple uses". This increases the complexity of carrying and replacing tools and reduces work efficiency.
[0005] 3. Inefficiency: When using manual tools to open manhole covers, operators often need to apply considerable force, and the process is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Especially in emergency repairs or large-scale operations, this inefficient operation method seriously restricts the overall work progress and increases labor and time costs.
[0006] Therefore, this utility model proposes a well-opening device that can improve the efficiency of opening well covers. Utility Model Content

[0034] And a fixed plate 2 fixed to the bottom of the lever arm seat 11, a connecting rod seat 31 fixedly installed on the right side of the fixed plate 2, a movable rod 32 movably installed on the right end of the connecting rod seat 31, a support arm 33 fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable rod 32, two pulleys 35 rotatably installed on both sides of the support arm 33 via a rotating shaft, and a pedal 34 fixed to the right end of the support arm 33.
[0035] The handle 4 is fixed to the left side surface of the lever arm seat 11, the U-shaped pendant 5 is installed on the surface of the handle 4, the hanging chain 6 is connected to the bottom of the U-shaped pendant 5, and the pin hook 7 is connected to the bottom of the hanging chain 6.
[0036] In this embodiment, preferably, multiple adjustment holes 51 are provided through both ends of the U-shaped hanger 5, and multiple adjustment holes 41 corresponding to the adjustment holes 51 are provided through the surface of the handle 4. An adjustment bolt 52 is provided through the U-shaped hanger 5 and the handle 4. The adjustment bolt 52 passes through both the adjustment holes 41 and the adjustment holes 51 to achieve stable fixation of the U-shaped hanger 5 and the handle 4. At the same time, the adjustment bolt 52 can be passed through other adjustment holes 41 and adjustment holes 51 to adaptively adjust the position and height of the U-shaped hanger 5, so that the pin hook 7 below the hanging chain 6 can be adapted to the holes on the manhole covers of different specifications, increasing the versatility of the entire device.
[0037] In this embodiment, preferably, two triangular reinforcing plates are welded and fixed between the handle 4 and the lever arm seat 11, which can increase the fixing strength between the handle 4 and the lever arm seat 11 and play a role in reinforcing and supporting.
[0038] In this embodiment, preferably, the bottom end of the lever arm jack 12 is movably inserted into the inner side of the lever arm seat 11, and an adjustment component 13 is provided between the lever arm jack 12 and the lever arm seat 11.
[0039] In this embodiment, preferably, the adjusting component 13 includes a lever bolt 131, a wing nut 132, and bolt holes 133. Multiple bolt holes 133 corresponding to the lever bolt 131 are formed through the surface of the lever rod 12. The rear end of the lever bolt 131 is attached to the rear surface of the lever rod seat 11, and the front end of the lever bolt 131 passes through the lever rod seat 11 and through one of the bolt holes 133 to the front surface of the lever rod seat 11. The wing nut 132 is threaded onto the front end surface of the lever bolt 131 and is tightly fitted to the lever rod seat 11, achieving stable fixation of the lever rod 12 and the lever rod seat 11 during daily use. When the length of the entire lever rod assembly needs to be adjusted later, the wing nut is first... Unscrew nut 132, then pull out lever arm bolt 131 from the rear of lever arm seat 11 to release the limit on lever arm top rod 12. At this time, the lever arm top rod 12 can be slid up and down to adjust its height. After adjusting to the appropriate position, pass lever arm bolt 131 through lever arm seat 11 and lever arm top rod 12 from the rear of lever arm seat 11, so that lever arm bolt 131 can pass through bolt hole 133 in other positions. Then put wing nut 132 on the front end surface of lever arm bolt 131 and rotate to tighten it.

[0040] In this embodiment, preferably, the left end of the movable rod 32 is movably inserted into the inner side of the connecting rod seat 31, and a plug-in adjustment mechanism 36 is provided between the movable rod 32 and the connecting rod seat 31.
[0041] In this embodiment, preferably, the plug-in adjustment mechanism 36 includes a T-shaped plug 361, a cylindrical insertion hole 362, and a circular external insertion hole 363. The surface of the movable rod 32 is provided with a plurality of cylindrical insertion holes 362 corresponding to the T-shaped plug 361. The front and rear surfaces of the connecting rod seat 31 are provided with circular external insertion holes 363 for the T-shaped plug 361 to be inserted. The front end of the T-shaped plug 361 is attached to the front surface of the connecting rod seat 31, and the rear end of the T-shaped plug 361 extends through the circular external insertion hole 363 and one of the cylindrical insertion holes 362 to the rear surface of the connecting rod seat 31. At this time, the T-shaped plug 361 can complete the plug-in limit between the movable rod 32 and the connecting rod seat 31, ensuring the connection stability during daily use.
[0042] In this embodiment, preferably, an inner groove 364 is formed inside one side of the T-shaped insert 361. A spring 365 and a telescopic locking bead 366 are installed inside the inner groove 364. An annular groove 367 corresponding to the telescopic locking bead 366 is formed on the inner wall of the cylindrical insertion hole 362. When the T-shaped insert 361 penetrates the cylindrical insertion hole 362, the end of the telescopic locking bead 366 will be pushed into the annular groove 367 by the spring 365, thus achieving locking and limiting after the T-shaped insert 361 penetrates, ensuring that the T-shaped insert 361 will not fall off on its own. When subsequent telescopic adjustment of the movable rod 32 is required, simply pull the front end of the T-shaped insert 361 forward forcefully, causing the end of the telescopic locking bead 366 to...

After the extension and retraction adjustment of the movable rod 32 is completed, the T-shaped insert 361 is inserted into the circular outer insertion hole 363 again, so that the T-shaped insert 361 can pass through the cylindrical insertion hole 362 in other positions, and the end of the telescopic locking ball 366 is pushed into the annular locking groove 367 by the spring 365, thus completing the locking and limiting after the T-shaped insert 361 passes through, thereby quickly connecting and limiting the movable rod 32 and the connecting rod seat 31, which is highly convenient for adjustment.
[0043] In summary, when using this device, first place it above the manhole cover that needs to be opened and adjust its position so that the pin hook 7 can be hooked into the hole on the manhole cover and the connecting rod seat 31 is attached to the top surface of the manhole cover. Then, hold the lever handle 14 and press the lever rod 12 and lever rod seat 11 towards the connecting rod seat 31 so that the pulley 35 rolls into contact with the ground. At this time, continue to apply force and step on the pedal 34. The lever principle will apply an upward force to the pin hook 7 and directly lift the manhole cover. At the same time, the pin hook 7 can hook the lifted manhole cover, reducing the risk of direct manual operation of the manhole cover, reducing the injury caused by sudden loosening of the manhole cover or tool breakage, and significantly improving the overall opening efficiency and saving more effort.
