Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of manhole covers, and in particular to a safety manhole cover that prevents falling off. Background Technology
[0002] Urban construction involves the design of numerous pipelines, including drainage pipes and cable conduits, along with corresponding drainage outlets and inspection ports, necessitating the installation of manhole covers for concealment. These covers are often removed from manholes for maintenance, emergency drainage, or theft. If the city's drainage network is poorly designed or during heavy rains, drainage difficulties can lead to water accumulation. Current solutions typically involve removing the manhole cover entirely, exposing the manhole completely. This creates a safety hazard, prompting the installation of fall-prevention nets. However, this still cannot prevent pedestrians or vehicles from falling into the manhole. Therefore, a fall-prevention safety manhole cover is urgently needed to address these issues.

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 4A safety manhole cover designed to prevent falling off, installed at the manhole opening, includes a base 10, a cover body 20, and an elastic support assembly 30.
[0027] The inner wall of the base 10 is provided with a support ring 11 and a first limiting step and a second limiting step, and the inner side of the support ring 11 forms a first drain outlet 12.
[0028] The cover 20 is mounted on the support ring 11 and has a switchable closed position and a drain position. The side wall of the cover 20 is provided with a number of second drain ports 21 that communicate with the first drain port 12.
[0029] The elastic support assembly 30 is disposed between the cover 20 and the base 10 to provide an upward thrust to the cover 20;
[0030] The cover 20 can rotate relative to the base 10 in a first direction to switch the cover 20 to a closed position, wherein the second drain outlet 21 can be lower than the upper surface of the base 10 when the cover 20 is in the closed position; or the cover 20 can rotate relative to the base 10 in a second direction to switch the cover 20 to a drain position, wherein the second drain outlet 21 can be at least partially higher than the upper surface of the base 10 when the cover 20 is in the drain position.
[0031] In this invention, when there is no water accumulation, the cover 20 can be operably rotated relative to the base 10 in a first direction, switching the cover 20 to a closed position. At this time, the second drain outlet 21 on the cover 20 is lower than the upper surface of the base 10, meaning the second drain outlet 21 is not connected to the outside. When heavy rain causes water accumulation on the road, the cover 20 can be operably rotated relative to the base 10 in a second direction, switching the cover 20 to a drainage position. At this time, the second drain outlet 21 on the cover 20 is at least partially higher than the upper surface of the base 10, meaning the second drain outlet 21 is connected to the outside. This allows the accumulated water from the outside to flow into the manhole through the second drain outlet 21 and the first drain outlet 12, greatly increasing the area of connection between the outside and the manhole, thereby improving drainage efficiency. At the same time, since the cover 20 is not removed from the manhole, the problem of falling is fundamentally solved.
[0032] Reference Figures 2-4In some embodiments, an L-shaped limiting groove 40 is provided on the inner wall of the base 10. The L-shaped limiting groove 40 includes a horizontal section 41 and a vertical section 42 communicating with the horizontal section 41. The inner top wall of the horizontal section 41 forms a first limiting step. The upper end of the vertical section 42 communicates with the upper end face of the base 10. A limiting block 22 extending into the L-shaped limiting groove 40 is provided on the side wall of the cover 20. It also includes a cover plate 50 connected to the base 10 and closing the vertical section 42. The lower end face of the cover plate 50 forms a second limiting step. Specifically, the cover 20... Taking the switching from the closed position to the drainage position as an example, when the cover 20 is in the closed position, the limiting block 22 on the cover 20 is located inside the horizontal section 41 and abuts against the inner top wall of the horizontal section 41, thereby maintaining the closed position; when the cover 20 rotates relative to the base 10 in the second direction, the limiting block 22 will move from the horizontal section 41 to the vertical section 42, and under the action of the thrust provided by the elastic support component 30, it will move upward along the vertical section 42 until it reaches the end of the vertical section 42 (cover plate 50), at which point the cover 20 switches to the drainage position.
[0033] Reference Figures 1-3 In some embodiments, the cover plate 50 is connected to the base 10 via a detachable structure 60. Preferably, the detachable structure 60 is a bolted connection structure.
[0034] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments, the elastic support assembly 30 includes a plurality of springs 31 evenly distributed between the cover 20 and the base 10; in a further embodiment, the cover 20 is provided with a sleeve 70 sleeved on the springs 31, and the sleeve 70 serves to limit the movement of the springs 31.
[0035] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments, a central plate 81 is provided on the inner side of the supporting ring 11, and a plurality of support plates 82 are provided at intervals around the central plate 81, which are respectively connected to the central plate 81 and the supporting ring 11. One end of the spring 31 abuts against the cover 20, and the other end abuts against the central plate 81 and / or the support plate 82. It should be noted that the width of the part of the support plate 82 that is released from the spring 31 is at least twice the width of the limiting block 21, so as to ensure that the spring 31 will not detach from the support plate 82 during the rotation of the cover 20.
[0036] Reference Figures 1-4 In some embodiments, the upper surface of the cover 20 is provided with a plurality of third drain outlets 23 that communicate with the first drain outlet 12. The third drain outlets 23 can meet the daily drainage function under normal conditions.
[0037] The advantages of this utility model are: the above structure allows the cover to be switched to the drainage position when water accumulates, so that the water can flow into the well through the second drainage outlet and the first drainage outlet, improving drainage efficiency. At the same time, it does not require the cover to be removed, thus improving safety.
[0038] Of course, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model. All such equivalent modifications and substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
