Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of landscape architecture and urban facilities technology, specifically to a manhole cover for flower beds and its installation structure. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, manholes in garden landscape areas are usually covered with traditional hollow or embedded manhole covers. These manhole cover designs prioritize practicality but neglect harmony with the surrounding environment, thus affecting the overall landscape effect.

[0003] Traditional manhole covers are generally made of metal or composite materials, and their designs are relatively simple, making them difficult to integrate well into garden landscapes such as flower beds. They are obviously lacking in aesthetics, and are prone to rusting or damage after long-term use, which not only affects the landscape but may also pose safety hazards to pedestrians. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a manhole cover for flower beds and its installation structure, which can integrate with the flower bed landscape in appearance, enhance the overall aesthetics, and has high stability and safety. It also has the advantages of being easy to disassemble, inspect, and maintain, thus solving the problems of traditional manhole covers in terms of aesthetics, safety, and practicality.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a manhole cover for flower beds and its installation structure, comprising an installation frame, a hinge fixedly connected inside the installation frame, a manhole cover body inside the installation frame, an installation groove inside the manhole cover body, the manhole cover body being slidably connected to the outer surface of the hinge through the installation groove, two positioning plates being slidably inserted inside the hinge, two positioning grooves being opened inside the manhole cover body, a spring arranged at equal intervals being fixedly connected to the outer surface of each positioning plate, the other end of the spring being fixedly connected to the inside of the hinge, a reinforcing rib being fixedly connected inside the manhole cover body, and a warning light being fixedly connected to the upper surface of the manhole cover body.

[0006] The above solution addresses the shortcomings of traditional manhole covers in terms of aesthetics, safety, and practicality. By using simulated stone or polymer composite materials to create the manhole cover body and incorporating natural textures, the cover can blend seamlessly with the flowerbed landscape, enhancing its overall aesthetics and making it less prone to rust. Reinforcing ribs and warning lights enhance the safety performance of the manhole cover. The inclusion of positioning plates, springs, ramps, and positioning grooves facilitates the disassembly and installation of the cover body, simplifying the inspection and maintenance of the manhole.

[0007] Furthermore, the outer surface of the manhole cover body is provided with two inclined slopes, which are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the mounting groove, and the positions of the inclined slopes and the positioning plate correspond respectively.

[0008] With the above solution, when the manhole cover body and the hinge are installed, the positioning plate can be squeezed by the inclined slope, causing the positioning plate to move automatically into the hinge, thereby automatically completing the connection and fixing operation.

[0009] Furthermore, the manhole cover body is made of simulated stone or polymer composite material, the upper surface of the manhole cover body is provided with simulated natural texture, and the mounting frame is made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy.

[0010] Through the above solutions, the manhole cover body made of simulated stone or polymer composite material is not easy to rust, and the stainless steel or aluminum alloy material can improve the corrosion resistance of the installation frame, thereby improving the overall durability and safety of the manhole cover. The natural texture on the manhole cover body can make the manhole cover blend with the flower bed landscape in appearance, enhancing the overall aesthetics.

[0011] Furthermore, two limiting blocks are fixedly connected to the outer surface of each positioning plate, and the outer surface of each limiting block is slidably connected to the hinge through a slot opened inside the hinge.

[0012] The above solution restricts the positioning plate, preventing it from easily slipping out of the hinge and improving its stability.

[0013] Furthermore, each of the positioning plates has a paddle fixedly connected to its upper surface, and the outer surface of the paddle is slidably connected to the hinge through a slot opened inside the hinge.

[0014] The above solution allows for the simultaneous movement of two positioning plates inwards using a lever, causing the positioning plates to move out of the positioning grooves, thus removing the positioning restriction on the manhole cover body and facilitating its disassembly.

[0015] Furthermore, the mounting frame has a notch inside, and the manhole cover body has a groove inside.

[0016] The above solution allows the manhole cover to be opened and closed via notches and grooves, providing convenience for workers.

[0017] Furthermore, the mounting frame is provided with a sealing gasket inside, and the upper surface of the sealing gasket is in contact with the bottom surface of the manhole cover body.

[0018] The above measures ensure the airtightness of the manhole cover when it is closed, preventing rainwater from seeping in.

[0019] Furthermore, a limiting plate is fixedly connected inside the mounting frame, the upper surface of the limiting plate is inclined, and the limiting plate is located on the back of the hinge.

[0020] The above solution allows the limiting plate to support and restrict the hinge, preventing the manhole cover from opening excessively.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] This manhole cover and its installation structure for the flower bed utilize simulated stone or high-polymer composite materials to create the cover body, with natural textures added to integrate with the flower bed landscape, enhancing its overall aesthetics and making it less prone to rust. Reinforcing ribs and warning lights enhance the safety performance of the manhole cover. The inclusion of positioning plates, springs, ramps, and positioning grooves facilitates disassembly and installation, simplifying inspection and maintenance of the manhole. This design addresses the shortcomings of traditional manhole covers in terms of aesthetics, safety, and practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 This embodiment of a manhole cover for flower beds and its installation structure includes an installation frame 1, a hinge 2 fixedly connected inside the installation frame 1, a manhole cover body 3 inside the installation frame 1, an installation groove 4 inside the manhole cover body 3, the manhole cover body 3 being slidably connected to the outer surface of the hinge 2 through the installation groove 4, two positioning plates 5 being slidably inserted inside the hinge 2, two positioning grooves 6 being opened inside the manhole cover body 3, springs 7 arranged at equal intervals being fixedly connected to the outer surface of each positioning plate 5, the other end of the springs 7 being fixedly connected to the inside of the hinge 2, reinforcing ribs 9 being fixedly connected inside the manhole cover body 3, and a warning light 10 being fixedly connected to the upper surface of the manhole cover body 3.

[0033] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 6 The outer surface of the manhole cover body 3 is provided with two inclined slopes 8, which are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the mounting groove 4. The positions of the inclined slopes 8 and the positioning plate 5 are respectively corresponding. When the manhole cover body 3 and the hinge 2 are installed, the positioning plate 5 can be squeezed under the action of the inclined slopes 8, causing the positioning plate 5 to move automatically into the hinge 2, thereby automatically completing the connection and fixing operation.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The manhole cover body 3 is made of simulated stone or polymer composite material. The upper surface of the manhole cover body 3 is set with simulated natural texture. The mounting frame 1 is made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy. The manhole cover body 3 made of simulated stone or polymer composite material is not easy to rust. The stainless steel or aluminum alloy material can improve the corrosion resistance of the mounting frame 1, thereby improving the overall durability and safety of the manhole cover. The simulated natural texture on the manhole cover body 3 can make the manhole cover blend with the flower bed landscape in appearance, enhancing the overall aesthetics.

[0035] Please see Figure 5 Two limiting blocks 11 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of each positioning plate 5. The outer surface of each limiting block 11 is slidably connected to the hinge 2 through a slot opened inside the hinge 2 to restrict the positioning plate 5, prevent the positioning plate 5 from easily slipping out of the hinge 2, and improve the stability of the positioning plate 5.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 Each positioning plate 5 has a fixedly connected paddle 12 on its upper surface. The outer surface of the paddle 12 is slidably connected to the hinge 2 through the slots opened inside the hinge 2. The two positioning plates 5 can be moved inward by the paddle 12 at the same time, causing the positioning plates 5 to move out of the positioning slots 6, thereby releasing the positioning restriction on the manhole cover body 3 and facilitating the disassembly of the manhole cover body 3.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 The installation frame 1 has a notch 13 inside, and the manhole cover body 3 has a groove 14 inside. The manhole cover body 3 can be opened and closed through the notch 13 and the groove 14, providing convenience for the staff.

[0038] Please see Figure 2 The mounting frame 1 has a sealing gasket 15 inside. The upper surface of the sealing gasket 15 contacts the bottom surface of the manhole cover body 3 to ensure the sealing of the manhole cover when it is closed and prevent rainwater from seeping in.

[0039] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The internal fixed connection of the mounting frame 1 is a limiting plate 16. The upper surface of the limiting plate 16 is inclined. The limiting plate 16 is located on the back of the hinge 2. The limiting plate 16 can support and restrict the hinge 2 to prevent the manhole cover body 3 from being opened excessively.

[0040] This embodiment describes a manhole cover for flower beds and its installation structure. The manhole cover body 3 is made of simulated stone or polymer composite material, and natural textures are set on the manhole cover body 3 to make the manhole cover blend with the flower bed landscape in appearance, improving the overall aesthetics and making it less prone to rust. The safety performance of the manhole cover is enhanced by setting reinforcing ribs 9 and warning lights 10. The manhole cover body 3 is easy to disassemble and install by setting positioning plates 5, springs 7, inclined slopes 8 and positioning grooves 6, which facilitates the inspection and maintenance of manholes and solves the problems of traditional manhole covers in terms of aesthetics, safety and practicality.

[0041] It should be noted that the notch 13 and the groove 14 are located at the end opposite to the hinge 2, which facilitates the opening and closing of the manhole cover body 3 through the notch 13 and the groove 14.

[0042] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0043] The manhole cover body 3, made of simulated stone or polymer composite material, is not prone to rust. Stainless steel or aluminum alloy materials improve the corrosion resistance of the mounting frame 1, thereby enhancing the overall durability and safety of the manhole cover. The natural texture on the manhole cover body 3 allows it to blend seamlessly with the flower bed landscape, improving its overall aesthetics. The reinforcing ribs 9 enhance the load-bearing capacity and impact resistance of the manhole cover body 3. The warning light 10 illuminates at night to alert pedestrians. The manhole cover body 3 can be opened and closed by rotating via the hinge 2. When the growth of plants in the flower bed obstructs the opening and closing of the manhole cover body 3, the two positioning plates 5 can be simultaneously moved inwards by the lever 12, causing the positioning plates 5 to move from their positions. The manhole cover body 3 is removed from the hinge 2 after the groove 6 is moved out, thus releasing the positioning restriction on the manhole cover body 3. Then, the manhole cover body 3 is removed from the hinge 2 for inspection or maintenance of the manhole, improving the flexibility and practicality of the manhole cover. When the maintenance work is completed and the manhole cover body 3 and the hinge 2 need to be connected and installed, the manhole cover body 3 is put on the hinge 2 from top to bottom through the installation groove 4. During the connection, the manhole cover body 3 is pressed against the positioning plate 5 by the inclined slope 8, causing the positioning plate 5 to move automatically into the hinge 2 and press the spring 7. When the manhole cover body 3 is completely put on the hinge 2, the spring 7 pushes the positioning plate 5 to move back automatically by its own elasticity. Then, the positioning plate 5 is inserted into the positioning groove 6, and the connection and fixation between the manhole cover body 3 and the hinge 2 is completed.
