Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a hinged manhole cover. Background Technology
[0002] Manhole covers are facilities that cover the openings of underground pipeline inspection wells, protecting the entrances of underground pipelines (such as sewers, electricity, communications, gas, etc.) and facilitating maintenance, cleaning, and troubleshooting by personnel. A manhole cover generally consists of a base and a cover plate. The cover plate is foldably connected to the base, with the base buried underground and the cover plate exposed above ground. Currently, existing manhole covers can only rotate a maximum of 90 degrees because the ground obstructs the cover plate's position. This insufficient rotation angle causes the cover to obstruct the ground when opened, affecting maintenance personnel's overall observation and operation of the underground space. Furthermore, the limited 90-degree rotation causes stress concentration on the hinge between the cover plate and the base, easily accelerating hinge deformation and wear, and shortening service life. Improvements and optimizations are proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above problems, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a hinged manhole cover.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model of hinged manhole cover is characterized by comprising a manhole cover base, a manhole cover plate, a flip-adjusting component, and a connecting shaft assembly. The connecting shaft assembly includes a connecting shaft. One end of the manhole cover plate is provided with a flip-up protrusion, and the side of the flip-up protrusion is provided with a hinge hole. The manhole cover base includes a base receiving part, and a base through hole is provided inside the base receiving part. An inner perimeter of the base is provided at the base through hole. The inner wall of the inner perimeter of the base is provided with an inner stop for limiting the insertion of the manhole cover plate. A flip-connecting seat is provided outside the inner perimeter of the base receiving part. A main groove of the flip-connecting seat is provided in the middle of the flip-connecting seat and communicates with the base through hole. Adjusting grooves of the flip-connecting seat are provided on both sides of the main groove of the flip-connecting seat. The flip-adjusting component includes an adjusting component seat body placed inside the flip-connecting seat. The adjusting component seat is provided with an adjusting component seat limiting groove for limiting the flipping protrusion of the cover plate. The upper parts of both sides of the adjusting component seat are bent vertically in sequence to form an adjusting component stop covering the adjusting groove of the docking seat and an adjusting component fixing part placed in the adjusting groove of the docking seat. The two side walls of the adjusting component seat are provided with longitudinally arranged adjusting component seat waist-shaped holes. The cover plate hinge hole and the adjusting component seat waist-shaped hole are connected by the connecting shaft. The rear end of the adjusting component seat is provided with a flipping clearance opening for flipping the manhole cover plate 180 degrees. The adjusting component fixing part is provided with a fixing part waist-shaped hole corresponding to the adjusting component seat waist-shaped hole. The side wall of the flipping docking seat is provided with a docking seat connecting hole communicating with the fixing part waist-shaped hole. The fixing part waist-shaped hole and the docking seat connecting hole are connected by bolts.
[0005] The connecting shaft assembly also includes pins, and the connecting shaft passes through the hinge hole of the cover plate and the waist-shaped hole of the adjusting member seat, with both ends locked by the pins.
[0006] It also includes a height support member placed in the adjusting groove of the docking seat. The height support member includes a support member driving part that fits against the bottom of the adjusting member stop, a support member adjusting head provided above the support member driving part, and a support member screw provided below the support member driving part. The bottom of the adjusting groove of the docking seat is provided with a docking seat threaded hole that connects with the support member screw. The adjusting member stop is provided with an adjusting member clearance hole for the adjusting member adjusting head to make way when adjusting.
[0007] The support member has drive blocks at both ends for abutting against the bottom of the adjuster.
[0008] The base receiving part is provided with base mounting holes and base reinforcing ribs at intervals around the arc.
[0009] The advantages of this new type of hinged manhole cover are: the design of the flip-adjustment component allows the manhole cover to be completely detached from the ground obstruction, and the flip angle is increased from the traditional 90° to 180°. After the manhole cover is fully unfolded, it is parallel to the ground, providing unobstructed operating space for maintenance personnel; the hinges of the manhole cover and the manhole cover base are not subjected to force, are not easily damaged, and have a longer service life.

The manhole cover base 1 includes a base receiving part 7, and the base receiving part 7 is provided with a base through hole 8. The base receiving part 7 is provided with a base inner perimeter 9 at the base through hole 8. The inner wall of the base inner perimeter 9 is provided with a base for limiting the insertion of the manhole cover plate 2. The inner retaining edge 14, the base receiving part 7 is provided with a flip docking seat 15 outside the inner perimeter edge 9 of the base, the flip docking seat 15 is provided with a docking seat main groove 16 in the middle of the center, which communicates with the through hole 8 of the base, the flip docking seat 15 is provided with docking seat adjustment grooves 17 on both sides of the docking seat main groove 16, the flip adjustment component 3 includes an adjustment component seat body 20 placed in the flip docking seat 15, the adjustment component seat body 20 is provided with an adjustment component seat body limiting groove 21 for limiting the flip protrusion 10 of the cover plate, the upper parts of the two sides of the adjustment component seat body 20 are bent vertically in sequence to form a cover on the docking seat adjustment The adjusting component stop 23 is located above the groove 17, and the adjusting component fixing part 24 is placed in the adjusting groove 17 of the docking seat. The adjusting component seat 20 has longitudinally arranged adjusting component seat waist-shaped holes 22 on both side walls. The cover plate hinge hole 11 and the adjusting component seat waist-shaped holes 22 are connected by the connecting shaft 12. The rear end of the adjusting component seat 20 has a flip clearance opening 25 for flipping the manhole cover 2 by 180 degrees. The adjusting component fixing part 24 has a fixing part waist-shaped hole 26 corresponding to the adjusting component seat waist-shaped hole 22.

The manhole cover 2 has a connecting hole 27 that communicates with the waist-shaped hole 26 of the fixed part. The waist-shaped hole 26 of the fixed part and the connecting hole 27 of the connecting seat are connected by bolts. Prying the manhole cover 2 causes the flipping adjustment component 3 to move upward and move out of the ground. Then, the manhole cover 2 is flipped over so that the manhole cover 2 can be flipped 180 degrees smoothly without ground obstruction. The flipping angle is increased from the traditional 90° to 180°. After the manhole cover 2 is fully unfolded, it is parallel to the ground, providing unobstructed operating space for maintenance personnel.
