Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below.

[0021] Example: In order to solve the problem of rainwater well covers being forcibly opened and stolen, this utility model provides an anti-theft device for rainwater well covers.

[0022] Specific examples Figure 1 As shown, a storm drain cover includes a cover 2 and a base 1. The base 1 is buried under the road surface, making it difficult to remove and steal. Therefore, the main focus of storm drain cover theft prevention is preventing the cover 2 from being stolen. A hinge 4 is typically provided between the cover 2 and the base 1 to connect them. The cover 2 can be flipped open around the hinge 4. A lifting hole 3 is provided on the side of the cover 2 opposite the hinge 4, allowing workers to use a pry bar or similar tool to pry the cover 2 open through the lifting hole 3.

[0023] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the anti-theft component 5 provided by this utility model is installed below the manhole cover 2. The anti-theft component 5 includes a shaft seat 501, a turntable 502, a push-pull rod 503, a locking rod 504, a guide seat 505, a drive rod 506, and a limiting structure. The shaft seat 501 is fixed to the lower side of the manhole cover 2, and the turntable 502 can rotate around the shaft seat 501. The shaft seat 501 is composed of two symmetrical right-angle plates. The horizontal section of the right-angle plate is fixed to the lower side of the manhole cover 2. The right-angle plate is usually fixed to the manhole cover 2 by welding. The lower end of the vertical section of the right-angle plate is provided with a shaft hole. The center of the turntable 502 is provided with a horizontal shaft. The shafts on both sides of the turntable 502 are respectively inserted into the corresponding shaft holes.

[0024] A push-pull rod 503 is located at an eccentric position on the turntable 502. A locking rod 504 is hinged to the outer end of the push-pull rod 503. A guide seat 505 is also fixed on the lower side of the manhole cover 2. The locking rod 504 passes laterally through the guide seat 505. When the turntable 502 rotates, it drives the push-pull rod 503 at the eccentric position to rotate, and the push-pull rod 503 drives the locking rod 504 to slide laterally in the guide seat 505. The turntable 502, the push-pull rod 503, and the locking rod 504 are all hinged, thus forming a structure in which the horizontal extension and retraction of the locking rod 504 is driven by the rotation of the turntable 502.

[0025] The turntable 502 is made of a circular steel plate with two symmetrically eccentric holes at its eccentric position. The push-pull rod 503 is made of L-shaped round steel, with one end inserted into the eccentric hole and fixed by a cotter pin, and the other end hinged to the locking rod 504 (made of round steel). The guide seat 505 is made of steel plates welded into a rectangular frame and fixed to the lower side of the manhole cover 2. The locking rod 504 passes through the guide hole of the guide seat 505 and can slide horizontally.

[0026] A locking hole 101 is provided on the side wall of the base 1 corresponding to the outer end of the locking rod 504. When the turntable 502 rotates and pushes the locking rod 504 outward, the locking rod 504 can be inserted into the locking hole 101. When the turntable 502 rotates and pulls back the locking rod 504, the locking rod 504 can be pulled out of the locking hole 101. In order to make the manhole cover 2 more securely and stably locked, two sets of push-pull rods 503 and locking rods 504 are used in a symmetrical structure. The push-pull rods 503 and locking rods 504 are symmetrical about the turntable 502, and symmetrical locking holes 101 are provided on the base 1. When the turntable 502 rotates, it simultaneously pushes the locking rods 504 on both sides to extend or retract outward or inward, thereby achieving symmetrical locking and making the locking of the manhole cover 2 more stable and secure.

[0027] The turntable 502 is also equipped with a drive rod 506, and a protruding shaft is provided at the eccentric position of the turntable 502. The drive rod 506 has a shaft hole in the middle. The drive rod 506 is rotatably mounted on the protruding shaft through the shaft hole. A pull ring 561 is provided at the upper end of the drive rod 506, and a counterweight ball 563 is provided at the lower end of the drive rod 506.

[0028] The drive rod 506 includes a rod body 562, a pull ring 561, and a counterweight hollow ball. The rod body 562 has a shaft hole, the pull ring 561 is located at the upper end of the rod body 562, and the counterweight ball 563 is fixed at the lower end of the rod body 562. The rod body 562 is fitted onto an L-shaped rod inserted into the eccentric hole of the turntable 502 through the shaft hole. The rod body 562 of the drive rod 506 can be machined from round steel, with a shaft hole in the middle, and is fitted onto the protruding shaft of the turntable 502. The upper end of the rod body 562 is welded with a circular pull ring 561, and the lower end is welded with a metal counterweight ball 563 as a counterweight. The weight of the counterweight ball 563 is preferably sufficient to reliably lock the locking rod 504.

[0029] The lifting hole 3 on the manhole cover 2 extends downwards to form a limiting tube 201. The upper end of the drive rod 506 is located within the limiting tube 201, meaning the pull ring 561 of the drive rod 506 is also located within the limiting tube 201. When the manhole cover 2 is locked, the pull ring 561 is located below the manhole cover 2 and will not protrude from the lifting hole 3. When locked, the depth of the lifting hole 3 below the manhole cover 2 should be such that it cannot be reached by hand, preventing unauthorized personnel from pulling down the pull ring 561 and engaging the locked state of the manhole cover 2 without tools.

[0030] The purpose of the limiting tube 201 is to limit the upper end of the drive rod 506, thereby preventing the drive rod 506 from rotating and thus preventing the turntable 502 from rotating, which would affect the unlocking of the manhole cover 2.

[0031] The turntable 502 is also provided with a limiting block 507, which limits the rotation direction and rotation angle of the turntable 502. The limiting block 507 is a metal block welded to the edge of the turntable 502. When the turntable 502 rotates, the metal block can block the side of the bearing seat 501, thereby limiting the rotation angle and direction of the turntable 502. Figure 4 As shown, in the locked state, the counterweight ball 563 pulls the drive rod 506 downward, causing the push rod and locking rod 504 to rotate to the same horizontal line. At this time, the locking rod 504 extends to its maximum distance, and its outer end penetrates into the lock hole 101 of the base 1 to achieve anti-theft locking of the manhole cover 2. In this state, the limit block 507 is fixed outside the shaft seat 501 to prevent the turntable 502 from rotating further and causing the locking rod 504 to be pulled back.

[0032] Furthermore, the counterweight ball 563 is a hollow metal ball, welded to the lower end of the drive rod 506. The hollow metal ball has sufficient weight to pull the turntable 502 to rotate, thus locking the manhole cover 2. Simultaneously, when urban flooding occurs due to heavy rain, storm drains need to be quickly cleared and drained. When a storm drain is clogged, rainwater can cause it to overflow. The hollow metal ball, buoyed by the water, floats upwards, causing the drive rod 506 to move upwards, which in turn drives the turntable 502 to rotate counterclockwise, allowing the locking rod 504 to be pulled out of the locking hole 101, thus unlocking the manhole cover 2. At this point, both workers and non-workers can easily and quickly open the manhole cover 2 for drainage and clearing.

[0033] The specific work process is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, in the locked state: when the manhole cover 2 is engaged, the pull ring 561 of the drive rod 506 is released. Under the action of gravity, the counterweight ball 563 pulls down the drive rod 506, causing the drive rod 506 to rotate around the protruding shaft and drive the turntable 502 to rotate clockwise (limited by the limiting block 507). During the rotation of the turntable 502, the push-pull rod 503 at the eccentric position rotates synchronously, pushing the locking rod 504 to slide outward along the guide seat 505 until the locking rod 504 is inserted into the locking hole 101 of the base 1, thereby locking the manhole cover 2 to the base 1.

[0034] Unlocking and Opening: When the manhole cover 2 needs to be opened, use a hook tool to reach into the lifting hole 3, hook the pull ring 561, and pull upwards. The drive rod 506 moves upwards against the gravity of the counterweight ball 563, causing the turntable 502 to rotate counterclockwise. The push-pull rod 503 rotates with the turntable 502, pulling back the locking rod 504, causing the locking rod 504 to be pulled out of the locking hole 101. After the locking rod 504 is completely disengaged from the locking hole 101, the manhole cover 2 can be lifted through the lifting hole 3 and flipped open around the hinge part 4.

[0035] Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
