Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of well valve technology, and in particular, it is a multifunctional tooling for opening well valves. Background Technology

[0002] When operating outdoor valve wells, external network operators often need to carry a ground well valve key to open the well cover. However, existing ground well valve keys have the following drawbacks:

[0003] Currently, all well valve keys are self-made T-type valves, operated using these keys. Before opening the well valve, operators need to prepare a well cover opening hook and carry various models of self-made welded T-type keys. During valve opening, due to different valve sizes and specifications, the valve opening bolts also vary. Operators must repeatedly try and find the appropriate gap for the valve bolt to open the valve smoothly, resulting in low operating efficiency and excessively long opening times, which is not conducive to timely handling of pipeline media outages. Utility Model Content

[0006] A T-shaped bar is formed by connecting horizontal and vertical bars to create a T-shaped structure.

[0007] The manhole cover hook has one end hinged to the vertical rod;

[0008] A valve bolt engaging device includes an end post, an adjusting component, and a bonding plate. The end post is installed at the end of the vertical rod away from the horizontal rod, and the end post is a hollow structure with an open bottom. A threaded hole is provided on the end post, and one end of the adjusting component is threaded through and installed in the threaded hole and connected to the bonding plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the vertical rod includes a first long rod, a second long rod, and a length adjustment component. The first long rod and the second long rod are connected by the length adjustment component, and the length of the vertical rod can be changed by the length adjustment component.

[0011] Furthermore, the T-shaped rod also includes an extension rod, which is symmetrically arranged at both ends of the crossbar and is connected to the crossbar by a threaded connection.

[0012] Furthermore, the manhole cover hook is hinged to the first long rod.

[0013] Furthermore, the end post is shaped like a frustum.

[0014] Furthermore, the adjusting component is a bolt, and there are two adjusting components, which are threadedly installed on both sides of the end post.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a magnetic warning light, which is attached to the crossbar by magnetic attraction.

[0016] Furthermore, it also includes a rotating plate, which is mounted on the other end of the adjusting member.

[0017] The advantages and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
