Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an adjustable anti-settlement manhole cover. Background Technology
[0002] Urban construction involves numerous underground pipelines, such as sewers, underground gas pipelines, water supply pipelines, power pipelines, communication pipelines, and defense pipelines. These pipelines have an outlet to the surface at intervals; this section from the pipeline to the surface is called a manhole. The manhole opening is usually flush with the ground, thus requiring a cover, called a manhole cover. Traditional manhole covers directly transmit weight to the manhole body. Frequent pressure from the road or damage to the cement can easily cause the manhole cover to sink. The height difference between the manhole cover and the road surface causes vehicles to bump, potentially leading to tire blowouts, wheel rim damage, or even complete collapse, creating a "black hole" in the road, which could cause pedestrians or non-motorized vehicles to fall into the manhole and suffer injuries or fatalities, posing a safety hazard. Therefore, improvements and optimizations are needed to address this issue. Utility Model Content

[0019] like Figure 1-7As shown, the adjustable anti-settlement manhole cover of this utility model includes an upper manhole cover seat 1, a manhole cover plate 2, an anti-settlement lower seat 3, and an adjusting sleeve 4. The upper manhole cover seat 1 includes an upper seat receiving part 7, and an upper seat through hole 8 is provided in the upper seat receiving part 7. The upper manhole cover seat 1 has a square structure. The upper seat receiving part 7 has an upper seat inner perimeter 9 at the upper seat through hole 8. The inner wall of the upper seat inner perimeter 9 has an upper seat inner stop 11 for limiting the position when the manhole cover plate 2 is closed. The upper seat receiving part 7 has upper seat connecting blocks 10 at its four corners. The anti-settlement lower seat 3 includes a lower seat base plate 13, and a base plate through hole 14 communicating with the upper seat through hole 8 is provided in the lower seat base plate 13. The lower seat base plate 13 has corresponding upper seat connecting blocks 10 at its four corners. The lower support block 15 is provided with a support block stud 16. The adjusting sleeve 4 includes an adjusting sleeve guide part 18, an adjusting sleeve support part 19 abutting the bottom of the upper support part 7, and an adjusting sleeve adjusting part 20 for adjustment, arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The adjusting sleeve 4 is provided with an adjusting sleeve threaded hole 22 that is threadedly connected to the support block stud 16. The bottom of the upper support docking block 10 is provided with a docking block positioning hole 23 for positioning the adjusting sleeve guide part 18. The anti-settlement lower seat 3 plays a role in reinforcing the bottom support. By adjusting the adjusting sleeve 4, the vertical height of the manhole cover upper seat 1 can be finely adjusted, which can compensate for the height difference caused by cement settlement or road subsidence, keep the manhole cover flush with the road surface, reduce the safety risks to vehicles and personnel, and is flexible in operation and highly safe.
[0020] The lower support block 15 is provided with a stud protective guard 25 outside the support block stud 16.
