Detailed Implementation
[0023] This utility model provides a municipal manhole cover that is not easily lost.
[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The manhole cover includes a manhole cover body 1, a manhole cover seat 2, and a ring magnet 3. The top of the manhole cover seat 2 is provided with a placement groove 21 for placing the manhole cover body 1. A fixing block 24 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the manhole cover seat 2. A filter screen 23 is installed at the bottom of the manhole cover seat 2. The filter screen 23 is connected to the fixing block 24 by bolts. The manhole cover body 1 is placed inside the manhole cover seat 2 by the placement groove 21. The manhole cover body 1 is opened and the sewage flowing into the manhole cover body 1 is filtered by the filter screen 23. The filter screen 23 can be easily removed by removing the bolts on the fixing block 24. The top of the manhole cover body 1 is rotatably connected with a handle.
[0025] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The inner wall of the placement groove 21 is provided with an annular groove 22, and the outer surface of the manhole cover body 1 is provided with a side sliding groove 11. A sliding rod 4 is slidably connected inside the side sliding groove 11. One end of the sliding rod 4 is inserted into the annular groove 22. One end of the sliding rod 4 is arc-shaped, and the other end of the sliding rod 4 is fixedly connected to a first spring. When the manhole cover body 1 is placed into the placement groove 21, the top of the manhole cover seat 2 presses the arc end of the sliding rod 4 to make the sliding rod 4 slide into the side sliding groove 11. When the manhole cover body 1 is placed into the placement groove 21, the rebound of the first spring drives the sliding rod 4 to quickly slide back and insert into the annular groove 22 to restrict the removal of the manhole cover body 1.
[0026] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 An adjustment cavity 12 is provided at the center of the manhole cover body 1. Inside the adjustment cavity 12 is a winding mechanism that pulls the sliding rod 4 to slide. The winding mechanism includes a rotating cylinder 5 that rotates on the bottom wall of the adjustment cavity 12. A pull rope 7 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating cylinder 5. One end of the pull rope 7 extends into the inside of the side sliding groove 11. The other end of the sliding rod 4 is fixedly connected to the pull rope 7. By driving the rotating cylinder 5 to rotate, the sliding rod 4 is pulled out from the inside of the annular groove 22 by the connecting action of the pull rope 7.
[0027] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The top of the winding mechanism is telescopic and equipped with an iron block 53. The winding mechanism also includes a rectangular slider 51 that slides on the top of the rotating cylinder 5. A movable plate 52 is fixedly connected to the top of the rectangular slider 51. The iron blocks 53 are embedded at both ends of the movable plate 52. A second spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rectangular slider 51. The other end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the rotating cylinder 5. The distance between the two iron blocks 53 is controlled between the inner diameter and the outer diameter of the annular magnet 3. When the annular magnet 3 is placed at the center of the top of the manhole cover body 1, the iron block 53 is attracted by the annular magnet 3, which drives the movable plate 52 to rise. When the annular magnet 3 is removed, the movable plate 52 slides down by the rebound of the second spring. A strong magnetic annular magnet 3, such as a neodymium magnet, is used to drive the movable plate 52 to rotate as a whole by driving the annular magnet 3 to rotate.
[0028] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The top of the manhole cover body 1 is provided with a drive mechanism for driving the winding mechanism to rotate. The drive mechanism includes a drive rod 6 that rotates on the top wall of the adjustment cavity 12. The bottom of the drive rod 6 is fixedly connected to a drive plate 61. Both ends of the bottom of the drive plate 61 are fixedly connected to push plates 62. When the movable plate 52 slides up between the two push plates 62, the drive rod 6 is driven to rotate. The push plates 62 drive the movable plate 52 to rotate together, thereby driving the winding mechanism to wind up. The drive mechanism also includes a rotating knob 63 fixed on the top of the drive rod 6. The top of the manhole cover body 1 is provided with a through groove. The rotating knob 63 and the through groove facilitate the driving of the drive rod 6 to rotate. When the annular magnet 3 is not placed on the top of the manhole cover body 1, the drive knob 63 will only drive the drive plate 61 to rotate freely.
[0029] Working principle: Fix the manhole cover seat 2 in a suitable position, place the manhole cover body 1 inside the placement groove 21, and push the sliding rod 4 into the side sliding groove 11 by pressing the arc end of the sliding rod 4 through the top of the manhole cover seat 2. Then, the return of the first spring causes one end of the sliding rod 4 to be inserted into the annular groove 22 to restrict the removal of the manhole cover body 1. By placing the annular magnet 3 at the center of the manhole cover body 1, the annular magnet 3 attracts the iron block 53 and pulls the movable plate 52 to slide upward, so that the movable plate 52 rises between the two push plates 62. By driving the rotating knob 63 to rotate inside the through groove, the push plate 62 pushes the movable plate 52 to rotate, causing the rotating cylinder 5 to rotate inside the adjustment cavity 12. By pulling the rope 7, the sliding rod 4 is pulled into the side sliding groove 11, so that one end of the sliding rod 4 is pulled out from the annular groove 22, releasing the restriction on the manhole cover body 1 and making it easy to remove the manhole cover body 1 from the inside of the manhole cover seat 2.
