Description
A type of water collection manhole Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of municipal construction, and more specifically, it relates to a water collection manhole. Background Technology
[0002] Water collection manholes are an important part of urban water supply and drainage systems. A water collection manhole typically consists of a manhole cover and a manhole chamber for collecting water. The manhole cover is usually made of cast iron and usually has pry holes for easy opening. Water collection manholes are generally located in relatively enclosed spaces such as underground garages, and are mainly used to collect and store rainwater that flows into enclosed spaces such as underground garages during rainy days.
[0003] In water collection manholes, water level lines are usually marked on the side walls of the manhole. When the collected water exceeds the highest water level line, in order to prevent subsequent water from flowing in and causing flooding of enclosed spaces such as underground garages, people need to open the manhole cover and then use a water pump to pump out the water from the water collection manhole.
[0004] In drier seasons, high water levels in manholes are less likely to occur. However, just in case, people still need to open the manhole cover frequently to check the water level and determine whether a water pump needs to be used to remove the water from the manhole. Because the manhole cover is heavy, it takes a lot of effort to open it when checking the water level, which is very inconvenient.
[0005] Therefore, a new solution is needed to address this problem. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a water collection manhole.
[0007] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a water collection manhole, including a manhole cover and a manhole channel, wherein the manhole cover is rotatably connected to the side wall of the manhole channel, the manhole cover has a circular observation opening with a diameter between 15 cm and 20 cm, the side wall of the manhole channel has a scale line, a light is fixedly connected to the side of the manhole cover facing the manhole channel, the light is positioned facing the scale line, and a flip cover for covering the observation opening is rotatably connected to the manhole cover.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the flap cover used to cover the observation port is smaller in size than the manhole cover, thus making the flap cover lighter. When people need to check the water level in the collection manhole, they only need to open the flap cover, which saves people's physical strength. Then, people can check the water level in the manhole through the observation port. By setting up a light and scale, the light can effectively illuminate the water level and the position of the scale when people check the water level through the observation port, so that people can intuitively understand the water volume in the manhole and determine whether a water pump is needed to pump water from the collection manhole.
[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: a cavity is provided inside the flip cover, and a weight-reducing layer is provided inside the cavity.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the weight-reducing layer effectively reduces the weight of the flip cover, making it easier for people to flip it open.
[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: the weight-reducing layer is made of PET, and the flip cover has an injection hole communicating with the cavity.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, PET has a lower density than cast iron, which can effectively reduce the mass of the weight-reducing layer. At the same time, PET has high strength, which can provide some support to the side wall of the cavity when heavy objects are placed on the flip cover, thus effectively preventing deformation of the cavity side wall. The opening of the injection hole makes the manufacturing process of the weight-reducing layer relatively simple.
[0013] The present invention is further provided that: a rubber strip is fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the flip cover.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when people need to open the manhole cover for maintenance and repair, the rubber strip has a large coefficient of friction, which makes the flip cover and the manhole cover have a large static friction force, thus ensuring that the flip cover is not easy to flip open on its own under the action of gravity.
[0015] The present invention is further configured such that the scale lines are formed by spraying reflective paint.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the scale line is illuminated by the lamp, the light from the lamp can be reflected better, so that the scale line can be clearly displayed in the well, and people can intuitively understand the distance between the water level and the scale line.
[0017] The present invention is further configured such that the observation port is located near the wellbore sidewall with scale lines.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, people can find the position of the scale line without moving much after opening the flip cover, making it more efficient to observe the water level.
[0019] The present invention is further configured such that a switch for controlling the lighting is fixedly connected to the side of the flip cover facing the well.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, after people open the flip cover, they can control the operation of the lamp through the switch on the flip cover, making it more convenient for people to control the lamp.
[0021] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: When people need to observe the water level in the collection manhole, they first open the flip cover. The small size of the flip cover and the weight-reducing layer set in the flip cover make the flip cover lighter, allowing people to open the flip cover with less effort. Then, they check the water level through the observation port. Next, people use the switch to turn on the light. The switch set on the flip cover allows people to easily control the light to turn on. The light, which is oriented towards the scale line, can illuminate the scale line well. The scale line, made with reflective paint, can be clearly displayed in the well channel, allowing people to intuitively see the relative position of the water level line and the scale line, and thus determine whether the water in the collection manhole needs to be pumped out. The rubber strip can fix the flip cover well to the well cover. After the well cover is opened, the flip cover is not easy to open by itself under the action of gravity. At the same time, the rubber strip can also effectively prevent odors in the well channel from passing through the gap between the flip cover and the observation port. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0027] A water collection manhole, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, includes a manhole cover 1 and a manhole 2. The manhole cover 1 has a pry hole, and the end of the manhole cover 1 away from the pry hole is rotatably connected to the side wall of the manhole 2. The manhole cover 1 has a circular observation port 3 with a diameter between 15 cm and 20 cm. In this embodiment, the diameter of the observation port 3 is 16 cm. The side wall of the manhole 2 is sprayed with scale lines 4. A light lamp 5 is fixed to the side of the manhole cover 1 facing the manhole 2 by bolts. The light lamp 5 is positioned facing the scale lines 4. A flip cover 6 for covering the observation port 3 is rotatably connected to the manhole cover 1.
[0028] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the manhole cover 1 has an annular groove, which is coaxial with the observation port 3. The groove wall abuts against the bottom surface of the flip cover 6. The manhole cover 1 also has a rectangular rotating groove, which is connected to the groove. The two opposite side walls of the rotating groove have round holes. One end of the flip cover 6 has an integrally formed rotating shaft, and the two ends of the rotating shaft are respectively inserted into the two round holes. A rubber strip 10 is attached to the outer peripheral wall of the flip cover 6. The rubber strip 10 is used to abut against the side wall of the groove. A cavity 7 is provided inside the flip cover 6. A weight-reducing layer 8 is provided inside the cavity 7. The weight-reducing layer 8 is made of PET. The bottom surface of the flip cover 6 has an injection hole 9 that communicates with the cavity 7. A through hole is provided on the flip cover 6.
[0029] As shown in Figure 1, the scale line 4 is made of reflective paint. The observation port 3 is located near the side wall of the well 2 where the scale line 4 is located. The flip cover 6 is fixedly connected to the side of the well 2 facing the well 2 with a switch 11 for controlling the lamp 5. The lamp 5 has a power supply inside. The switch 11 and the lamp 5 are connected by a power line.
[0030] Working process: When people need to observe the water level in the manhole, they insert their fingers into the through hole and then flip up the cover 6 through the through hole. The through hole provides a good point of force to flip up the cover 6. The diameter of the observation port 3 is 15cm to 20cm. While ensuring that people can easily observe the water level through the observation port 3, it also makes the volume of the cover 6 covering the observation port 3 small, so that the cover 6 has a lighter weight relative to the manhole cover 1. At the same time, a cavity 7 is opened inside the cover 6, and a weight-reducing layer 8 is set in the cavity 7. The weight-reducing layer 8, made of PET, has a lower density than the material of the manhole cover 1, which can further reduce the weight of the flip cover 6. At the same time, PET has good strength, so the weight-reducing layer 8 can provide some support to the side wall of the cavity 7 while reducing the weight of the flip cover 6. When a heavy object is placed on the flip cover 6, the weight-reducing layer 8 can effectively prevent the side wall of the cavity 7 from deforming. The above settings make the weight of the flip cover 6 smaller, and people can turn the flip cover 6 with less effort. Then people can check the water level through the observation port 3.
[0031] After the flip cover 6 is fully opened, the switch 11 on the flip cover 6 can be pressed by hand. At this time, the circuit of switch 11, power cord and lamp 5 is closed, and lamp 5 is turned on. The power supply set inside lamp 5 can protect the power supply well. Fixing switch 11 on the flip cover 6 allows people to easily control the lamp 5 to turn on and off. After observing the water level, lamp 5 can be turned off and set up so that lamp 5 can illuminate the water level and the position of scale line 4. The scale line 4 is sprayed with reflective material so that when the scale line 4 is illuminated by lamp 5, it can reflect the light of lamp 5 well, so that scale line 4 can be clearly displayed in well 2. People can intuitively understand the distance between water level and scale line 4. The observation port 3 is set close to scale line 4 so that people can find the position of scale line 4 without moving a lot, thus completing the comparison between scale line 4 and water level, making people observe water level more efficiently.
[0032] After people have observed the water level, the flip cover 6 can be placed back over the observation port 3. The connecting rubber strip 10 is attached to the outer wall of the flip cover 6 so that the flip cover 6 can be well embedded in the groove and can well cover the observation port 3. In addition, when people need to open the manhole cover 1 to maintain and repair the manhole 2, the rubber strip 10 abuts against the side wall of the observation port 3, so that the flip cover 6 is not easy to open on its own under the action of gravity, so that the flip cover 6 can be well fixed on the manhole cover 1 and the flip cover 6 will not affect people's subsequent production work. The opening of the injection hole 9 makes the manufacturing process of the weight reduction layer 8 simpler.

All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
