[0039] A manhole cover, including any one of the above-mentioned features, and an easy-to-open manhole cover lock.
[0040] Workflow: When opening the manhole cover 1, existing magnets are aligned with the upper parts of the movable column plates 43. The front movable column plate 43 moves upward using the magnetic attraction property of the magnets, while the rear movable column plate 43 moves downward using the magnetic repulsion property. The other movable column plates 43 adjust their magnetic poles according to the designed connection between the second air storage groove 36 and the second column groove 38. By setting different magnetic poles, it is possible to prevent unauthorized personnel from using magnets to move all the double column rods 41 into the column base 31 at once, thus improving the safety of the manhole cover from accidental opening. To reduce the difficulty of opening and improve the safety of manhole cover use, when the movable column plate 43 at the front end moves upward, it compresses the spring 45. The third rubber sealing ring 44 seals the space between the movable column plate 43 and the first air storage groove 32. Air at the top of the movable column plate 43 flows out from the vent 34. The filter plate 35 prevents impurities from entering the interior of the first air storage groove 32. Due to the sealing effect of the third rubber sealing ring 44, gas inside the first column groove 33 enters the interior of the first air storage groove 32, creating a negative pressure state inside the first air storage groove 32. Under the action of negative pressure... The double-column rod 41 retracts into the first column groove 33, and the second rubber sealing ring 42 seals the space between the double-column rod 41 and the first column groove 33. This allows the double-column rod 41 to move out of the front locking hole 25. The rear movable column plate 43 moves downwards under magnetic repulsion, sliding inside the second air storage groove 36. At this time, the movable column plate 43 pushes the gas inside the lower end of the second air storage groove 36 into the second column groove 38 through the connecting channel 37. Driven by the gas, the rear double-column rod 41 retracts into the second column groove 38. The first rubber sealing ring 42 seals the space between the double-column rod 41 and the first column groove 33. The sealing ring 39 prevents gas from escaping. At this time, the rear double-column rod 41 is retracted into the second column groove 38, and the rear double-column rod 41 moves out from the rear locking hole 25. The other double-column rods 41 are controlled in the same way as above, thereby achieving the effect of opening the manhole cover lock. Based on the above principles, the device uses magnetism to control the opening of the manhole cover lock, which improves the convenience of opening the manhole cover and reduces the pulling force. At the same time, the manhole cover lock is not exposed, which improves the safety of using the manhole cover lock. In addition, the locking structure of the device increases the difficulty of opening for non-workers, further improving the safety of using the manhole cover.
[0041] 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.
