Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of manhole cover technology, specifically to a manhole cover with a combined detection component. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the mechanical structure of traditional manhole covers is quite mature. However, IoT sensor technology has now penetrated into all walks of life, including the transportation of hazardous chemicals. During transportation, people need to monitor tank trucks and valves in real time and accurately, and need to know various information in the tank, including the pressure and liquid level of each tank. Therefore, liquid level sensors and pressure sensors are usually installed to obtain information.
[0003] However, in existing technologies, individual holes are typically created on the manhole cover to install each sensor. Too many connection points not only complicate the assembly process and reduce efficiency, but also increase the risk of leakage and raise manufacturing costs. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design and develop a manhole cover with a modular detection assembly. Utility Model Content

[0027] It should be noted that all uses of "first" and "second" in the embodiments of this utility model are for the purpose of distinguishing two entities or parameters with the same name but different names. It is clear that "first" and "second" are only for the convenience of expression and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of this utility model. Subsequent embodiments will not explain this in detail.
[0028] The directional and positional terms used in this utility model, such as "up," "down," "front," "back," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," "top," "bottom," and "side," are merely for reference to the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional and positional terms used are for the purpose of explaining and understanding this utility model, and not for limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 8As shown in the figure, in an embodiment of this utility model, a manhole cover with a combined detection component includes a manhole cover base 1 connected to the tank flange.
[0030] A connecting seat 12 is provided on the manhole cover base 1. The connecting seat 12 has a first connecting hole 121 that passes through the center axially. A mounting base 2 that is adapted to the shape of the first connecting hole 121 and whose lower end passes through the first connecting hole 121 and is located inside the tank is installed on the connecting seat 12. A protective cover 3 is installed on the upper end of the mounting base 2.
[0031] The mounting base 2 has a central through hole 21, and a mounting horizontal part 22 is connected inside the central through hole 21. The upper end of the mounting horizontal part 22 is provided with a first mounting groove 221 that is axially arranged and does not penetrate through the lower end of the mounting horizontal part 22. The side wall of the mounting base 2 is provided with a first connecting groove 23 that connects the lower end of the first mounting groove 221 to the inside of the tank. A pressure sensor 4 with a detection end corresponding to the first connecting groove 23 is connected inside the first mounting groove 221.
[0032] A liquid level sensor 5 is sealed to the lower end of the mounting base 2.
[0033] This design integrates the pressure sensor and level sensor into the mounting base. During assembly, the pressure sensor and level sensor are first connected to the mounting base, then one end of the mounting base is passed through the first connecting hole. Finally, the mounting base is connected to the protective cover. This eliminates the need for multiple sensor mounting holes on the manhole cover base, resulting in high assembly efficiency, low leakage risk, low processing cost, and high safety. In this embodiment, a radar millimeter-wave level sensor is specifically used.
[0034] The first connecting hole 121 has a first threaded connecting section 1211 on the inner periphery below the mounting horizontal part 22. The liquid level sensor 5 has a liquid level detection end 51 at its lower end and a connecting end 52 at its upper end. The outer periphery of the connecting end 52 is provided with a second threaded connecting section 53 adapted to the first threaded connecting section 1211 and threadedly connected to the first connecting hole 121.
[0035] This setup increases the flexibility of liquid level sensor assembly.
[0036] The liquid level sensor 5 has an abutting ring 54 on the outer periphery below the connecting end 52, which abuts against the lower end face of the mounting base 2. The lower end face of the mounting base 2 is provided with a sealing groove 24, and a sealing element 25 is connected in the sealing groove 24 to form a seal between the lower end face of the mounting base 2 and the upper end face of the abutting ring 54.
[0037] With this setting, the abutment ring marks the position of the liquid level sensor. When the liquid level sensor is rotated until the abutment ring abuts the bottom of the mounting base, it is in place. At the same time, when the liquid level sensor is in place, it completes a sealed connection with the mounting base, making installation convenient and highly flexible.
[0038] The mounting horizontal section 22 has a wire harness through groove 222 that runs through it axially.
[0039] With this setup, the wiring harness of the liquid level sensor can be routed through the wiring harness slot.
[0040] The upper end of the mounting horizontal part 22 is also provided with a second mounting groove 223 that is axially arranged and does not penetrate the lower end of the mounting horizontal part 22. The side wall of the mounting horizontal part 2 is provided with a second connecting groove 26 that connects the lower end of the second mounting groove 223 to the inside of the tank. A temperature sensor 7 with a detection end corresponding to the second connecting groove 26 is connected in the second mounting groove 223.
[0041] This setting further enhances the functionality of this combined detection component.
[0042] The outer periphery of the mounting base 2 and the outer periphery of the protective cover 3 are respectively connected to the first connecting ring 27 and the second connecting ring 31. The two are fixedly connected to the connecting seat 12 by threaded parts that pass through the protective cover 3 and the mounting base 2 in sequence.
[0043] This design further enhances the ease of assembling the applicant's manhole cover.
[0044] The mounting base 2 has a plurality of abutting protrusions 28 arranged along its circumferential direction on the inner circumference of its upper end. The upper end face of each abutting protrusion forms a mounting groove 29 with the inner circumference of the mounting base 2. A PCB board 6 adapted to its shape is connected in the mounting groove 29. The PCB board 6 is electrically connected to each sensor.
[0045] In this embodiment, the abutting protrusion and the PCB board are also provided with mounting screw holes, and the two are connected and fixed by threaded parts.
[0046] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent variations made in accordance with the claims of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
