Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of municipal road construction technology, and in particular to a liftable and levelable manhole cover. Background Technology

[0002] With economic development and the improvement of people's living standards, there are more and more manholes on the road for various paving facilities. The manhole cover area is often lower than the road surface, forming a pit. With the increasing number of motor vehicles, vehicles will experience bumps when driving over such roads with manhole covers, which seriously affects people's driving experience and may even cause vehicle damage. The main reason is that the position and height of the manhole cover are not scientifically adjusted during installation, resulting in a height difference. When vehicles drive over this point, they impact the manhole cover, thereby damaging the surrounding road surface.

[0003] Chinese patent CN115522571A discloses an adjustable manhole cover assembly, including a manhole base and a manhole cover. The manhole base includes a first manhole base and a second manhole base. A sunken annular support platform is provided at the center of the first manhole base, and the second manhole base is installed on the annular support platform. The manhole cover is overlapped and installed on the second manhole base. A lifting and adjusting locking mechanism is provided between the second manhole base and the annular support platform. The above patent adjusts the lifting and adjusting locking mechanism to make the manhole cover level with the road surface, but the problem of leveling the first manhole base with the road surface still exists. When the road surface has a slope, adjusting the lifting and adjusting locking mechanism alone to make the manhole cover level with the road surface will cause jamming and height difference between the manhole cover and the first manhole base. Therefore, this application proposes an adjustable manhole cover with an overall height that can be adjusted. Utility Model Content

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5The illustrated adjustable manhole cover includes a top support component 1, which is fitted onto the outside of a manhole cover base 2 and supported below its flange outer edge. This component is used to level the manhole cover base 2 with the surrounding road surface to prevent potholes. The top support component 1 includes a lifting adjustment assembly 11 and a positioning ring 12. Multiple lifting adjustment assemblies 11 are arranged in a circumferential array and fixedly mounted on the positioning ring 12. The positioning ring 12 is fitted onto the outside of the manhole cover base 2. The lifting adjustment assemblies 11 are supported below the flange outer edge of the manhole cover base 2, allowing for vertical adjustment of the height of the manhole cover base 2. The lifting adjustment assembly 11 includes a fixed seat 11-1, an adjusting sleeve 11-2, and a lifting screw 11-3, coaxially arranged from the outside to the inside. The adjusting sleeve 11-2 is fixedly connected to the fixed seat 11-1 via a fixing pin 11-4. The lifting screw 11-3 can move up and down along its axis within the adjusting sleeve 11-2. In this embodiment, the positioning ring 12 is a ring-shaped steel plate with a thickness greater than 5mm and a ring width greater than 50mm. At least four lifting adjustment assemblies 11 are arranged around the circumference.

[0026] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the fixed base 11-1 has a central hole 11-1-1 extending to both end faces, and multiple fixing holes 11-1-2 extending to the central hole 11-1-1 are provided on its outer periphery. The adjusting sleeve 11-2 is disposed in the central hole 11-1-1. The multiple fixing holes 11-1-2 are arranged in a spaced array along the axis on the fixed base 11-1. The adjusting sleeve 11-2 and the fixed base 11-1 are positioned and fixedly connected by a fixing pin 11-4 through one of the fixing holes 11-1-2. The adjusting sleeve 11-2 can slide up and down. After reaching the appropriate height, rotate to select the appropriate fixing hole 11-1-2 for positioning. The fixing pin 11-4 can be set on any fixing hole 11-1-2. The remaining fixing holes 11-1-2 are used as grouting holes during construction. The filler enters the center hole and fixing holes of the fixing seat, solidifying the fixing seat 11-1 and the adjusting sleeve 11-2 together within the filler. After grouting, the fixing seat 11-1 is firmly connected to the surrounding filler, making it less prone to cracking. It is more pressure-resistant and impact-resistant during use, and has a longer service life. The fixing seat 11-1 can be cylindrical or prismatic, such as a square prism, hexagonal prism, or octagonal prism. Prismatic shapes are less prone to rotation during initial positioning during construction and are easy to observe for displacement or rotation.

[0027] The adjusting sleeve 11-2 has a threaded blind hole 11-2-1 at its center to prevent the filler material from damaging the threads during grouting. The outer circumference of the adjusting sleeve 11-2 has a connecting hole that matches the fixing pin 11-4. The connecting hole is not connected to the threaded blind hole 11-2-1. The lifting screw 11-3 is set inside the threaded blind hole 11-2-1. The fixing pin 11-4 is set through the connecting hole and the corresponding fixing hole 11-1-2. After the fixing pin 11-4 fixes the adjusting sleeve 11-2 and the fixing seat 11-1, the lifting screw 11-3 can be rotated to initially adjust the height of the manhole cover base 2. The lifting screw 11-3 is a double-ended stud, with one end threaded onto the adjusting sleeve 11-2 and the other end threadedly fixed to a support pad 11-5. The support pad 11-5 includes a connecting block and a self-lubricating gasket. The connecting block is fixed to the lifting screw 11-3, and the self-lubricating gasket is located at the center of the connecting block and can rotate around an axis. After the lifting screw 11-3 abuts against the flange of the manhole cover base 2, the self-lubricating gasket fits against the flange, and the double-ended stud and the support pad 11-5 rotate around the axis, raising or lowering the flange. In this embodiment, the lifting screw 11-3 is selected with a specification larger than M8.

[0028] Workflow: Place the top support component onto the outside of the manhole cover base cylinder, ensuring the lifting screw of the adjusting assembly rests against the flange of the manhole cover base. Place the manhole cover base and top support component together on the manhole opening. The fixed seat and the cylinder of the manhole cover base support the manhole opening. If the difference between the manhole cover and the surrounding road surface is large, pull the adjusting sleeve upwards to make the lifting screw rest against the flange of the manhole cover base. Then, fix the adjusting sleeve to the fixed seat with the fixing pin. If the difference between the manhole cover and the surrounding road surface is small, the height of the adjusting sleeve does not need to be adjusted. After completing the initial positioning of the top support component and the manhole cover base, measure the horizontal height difference between the manhole cover base and the surrounding road surface. Based on the measurement results, adjust the lifting screw of the adjusting assembly sequentially until the manhole cover is level with the road surface. Finally, use the pouring filler to cast the top support component and the outside of the manhole cover base into one piece.

The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. However, these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
