[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 A manhole cover warning device for municipal road maintenance includes a railing 1, a warning sign 2 fixedly installed on the surface of the railing 1, the warning sign 2 marked with words such as "manhole cover maintenance" and "slow down and avoid"; a crossbar 3 is movably installed at the bottom of the railing 1, and support legs 4 are fixedly installed at both ends of the crossbar 3. At this time, the crossbar 3 and the support legs 4 are set perpendicular to the railing 1 in a cross shape, so that the railing 1 can be used standing up.

[0025] A nut 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the crossbar 3. A screw rod 6 is connected to the internal thread of the nut 5. A deep hole corresponding to the screw rod 6 is opened inside the crossbar 3. An auxiliary leg 7 is movably installed at the bottom of the screw rod 6. When the screw rod 6 is rotated, the auxiliary leg 7 will also contact the ground. Conventional railings are only supported by two legs of the support leg 4, resulting in a small contact area with the ground (two legs). This application sets an auxiliary leg 7 in the middle of the support leg 4, which increases the contact area with the ground (three legs), thereby ensuring the stable placement of the entire railing 1.

[0026] A rotating shaft 8 is fixedly installed at the top of the crossbar 3. Two symmetrically arranged limiting rings 9 are fixedly installed on the outer side of the rotating shaft 8, and a fixing sleeve 10 is provided between the two limiting rings 9. The fixing sleeve 10 is movably connected to the outer side of the rotating shaft 8. A second nut 17 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the railing 1. A bolt 18 is connected to the internal thread of the second nut 17. The outer wall of the fixing sleeve 10 has a threaded groove 19 corresponding to the bolt 18. The fixing sleeve 10 is detachably installed to the railing 1 through the second nut 17, the bolt 18, and the threaded groove 19. By tightening the drive bolt 18, the bolt 18 is inserted into the threaded groove 19, and the entire fixing sleeve 10 is fixedly installed in the tube wall of the railing 1.

[0027] Both sides of the rotating shaft 8 are provided with mounting grooves 11. A spring 12 is installed inside the mounting groove 11. A limit plate 13 is provided at one end of the spring 12. A clamp 14 is fixedly installed on the side of the limit plate 13. The spring 12 can push the clamp 14 to extend outward. The clamp 14 is inserted into the limit ring 15. The limit ring 15 is fixedly installed at the opening of the mounting groove 11. The inner wall of the fixing sleeve 10 is provided with a groove 16 corresponding to the clamp 14. There are four grooves 16, which are arranged in a ring with equal spacing. The grooves 16 will form a vertical position and a horizontal position relative to the railing 1. The end of the clamp 14 inserted into the groove 16 is hemispherical. The rotating shaft 8 is engaged with the fixing sleeve 10 through the clamp 14 and the groove 16.

[0028] The outer side of railing 1 has reflective strips to enhance its warning effect. Warning tape 20, a prior art technique, is interwoven with the vertical bars of railing 1. When two or more railings 1 surround a manhole cover, the warning tape 20 can be pulled out and hung on adjacent railings 1, thus ensuring that gaps between multiple railings 1 prevent pedestrians from passing through. Reflective strips are also affixed to the manhole cover or its base to further enhance its warning effect.

[0029] Working principle: When in use, by applying force to rotate the support leg 4, the crossbar 3, the rotating shaft 8 and the limiting ring 9 rotate synchronously. The rotating shaft 8 drives the locking head 14 to rotate, and the locking head 14 separates from the locking groove 16 in the vertical position.

[0030] When the support leg 4 is parallel to the railing 1, the spring 12 will push the locking head 14 into the horizontal locking slot 16, and then lock the rotating shaft 8 again. During this process, the direction of the support leg 4 and the railing 1 is adjusted to ensure that the railing 1 occupies little space when placed and will not be affected by the protrusion of the support leg 4.

[0031] By loosening bolt 18, bolt 18 separates from threaded groove 19, allowing the fixing sleeve 10 to be disassembled, and the entire support leg 4 to be removed; by rotating screw 6, the auxiliary leg 7 also moves down, increasing the balance of the entire railing 1.

[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
