Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of urban drainage equipment technology, specifically to an adjustable vertical grate water collection well. Background Technology
[0002] During urban road construction, drainage wells are installed at the edges of fast or slow lanes to facilitate centralized drainage. Currently, most drainage wells are flat-type wells made of cast iron, with the well cover laid flat on top, and are installed at the edges of fast or slow lanes.
[0003] Cast iron single-grate manhole covers, as an important component of urban drainage systems, should achieve a harmonious balance between functionality and aesthetics. However, in actual construction, the unevenness and visual abruptness at the junction of the manhole cover and the sidewalk have become persistent problems hindering the refined management of modern cities. These seemingly minor defects not only affect the overall aesthetics of the urban fabric but also expose systemic issues in infrastructure construction that urgently need to be addressed. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, the embodiments of this utility model provide an adjustable vertical grate water collection well, which solves the technical problem that the horizontal setting of the existing vertical grate well cover does not have a slope and has poor integration with the sidewalk.
[0005] According to one aspect, at least one embodiment of the present invention provides an adjustable vertical grate drainage well, including a well frame, an adjusting frame, and a well cover. The adjusting frame is connected to the upper part of the well frame and is used for being fitted into a sidewalk. The well cover is swayed and disposed on the adjusting frame. When the well cover is configured to be fastened to the adjusting frame, its top surface is set at an angle to the horizontal plane, the angle being 1°-3°. The top surface of the well cover can be connected to the top surface of the sidewalk.
[0006] As a further technical solution, the well frame includes a vertical plate and a longitudinal beam connected to the top of the vertical plate, and the adjusting frame has extension arms located on both sides of the vertical plate, with the extension arms located below the longitudinal beam.
[0007] As a further technical solution, the bottom of the longitudinal beam has an inclined surface that slopes upward toward the middle of the adjustment frame, and the extension arm has a positioning surface that contacts the inclined surface. The positioning surface is used to position the relative position of the adjustment frame and the well frame so that when the well cover is fastened to the adjustment frame, the top surface of the well cover forms the included angle with the horizontal plane.
[0008] As a further technical solution, the inner periphery of the adjustment frame has a limiting strip extending to the inner side of the adjustment frame. The limiting strip is used to support the bottom of the manhole cover to limit the angle of the top surface of the manhole cover.
[0009] As a further technical solution, the upright plate has a vertically extending grille, the extension arm has a limiting groove facing the grille, and the grille is configured to be engaged in the limiting groove on both sides.
[0010] As a further technical solution, the top of the longitudinal beam has a second inclined surface that slopes upward toward the middle of the adjustment frame. The second inclined surface has the same inclination angle as the first inclined surface, so that the second inclined surface is coplanar with and connected to the top surface of the manhole cover.
[0011] As a further technical solution, the manhole cover has a pull-out hole for tools to be inserted.
[0012] As a further technical solution, the adjustment frame has a horizontal through-hole mounting hole, and the adjustment frame is connected to the upright plate through a connector that passes through the mounting hole.
[0013] As a further technical solution, the top of the adjustment frame has a sloping surface three that is coplanar with the top surface of the manhole cover.
[0014] As a further technical solution, the inner side of the extension arm has an upward-opening mounting groove, the manhole cover has a shaft, the end of the shaft is rotatably disposed in the mounting groove, and the longitudinal beam covers the mounting groove.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention solves the problems of existing horizontal grate manhole covers lacking slope and poor integration with sidewalks by tilting the top surface of the manhole cover. The fixed connection between the adjusting frame and the manhole frame provides stable support for the tilt of the manhole cover, and the swinging of the manhole cover does not affect the maintenance of its tilt angle, making the connection between the drainage well and the edge of the sidewalk tighter and improving the overall structural coordination.

[0018] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit its scope.

[0023] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0024] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an adjustable vertical grate drainage well according to one embodiment of this utility model includes a well frame 1, an adjusting frame 2, and a well cover 3. The adjusting frame 2 is fixedly connected to the well frame 1, and the well cover 3 is swaying and set on the adjusting frame 2. When the well cover 3 is fastened to the adjusting frame 2, its top surface forms an angle of 1°-3° with the horizontal plane. Actual investigation revealed that the sidewalks around the vertical grate generally have a slope of 1°-3°, while the well cover 3 of the vertical grate is usually horizontal. This makes it difficult to integrate well into the surrounding sidewalks, posing a safety hazard by easily tripping pedestrians, and is also aesthetically unappealing.
[0025] The design principle is to adjust the top surface of the manhole cover 3 to form a specific tilt angle through the matching structure of the adjusting frame 2 and the manhole cover 3. The working process is that the manhole cover 3 is fastened to the adjusting frame 2, and the connection between the two keeps the top surface of the manhole cover 3 in a preset tilt state, so as to adapt to the slope of the sidewalk.
[0026] The adjustable vertical grate drainage well provided in this embodiment solves the problems of existing horizontal grate well covers 3 lacking slope and poor integration with sidewalks by tilting the top surface of the well cover 3. The fixed connection between the adjusting frame 2 and the well frame 1 provides stable support for the tilt of the well cover 3, and the swinging setting of the well cover 3 does not affect the maintenance of its tilt angle, making the connection between the drainage well and the edge of the sidewalk tighter and improving the overall structural coordination.
[0027] like Figures 1-2 As shown, in one embodiment, the tilt angle of the top surface of the manhole cover 3 is indirectly determined by adjusting the contact relationship between the adjusting frame 2 and the inclined surface 121 at the bottom of the longitudinal beam 12. The workflow is as follows: during installation, the positioning surface of the extension arm 26 contacts the inclined surface 121 of the longitudinal beam 12, causing the adjusting frame 2 and the manhole cover 3 to tilt upwards at a certain angle, thereby forming a corresponding tilt angle on the top surface of the manhole cover 3.
[0028] The inclined surface 121 of the longitudinal beam 12 provides an inclination reference for the adjusting frame 2. The contact between the adjusting frame 2 and the inclined surface 121 ensures the accuracy of the inclination angle of the manhole cover 3. The structure of the upright plate 11 and the longitudinal beam 12 of the manhole frame 1 provides a stable frame for the entire water collection well. Together with the adjusting frame 2 and the manhole cover 3, it stabilizes the inclination angle of the manhole cover 3, enhances the connection between the water collection well and the sidewalk, and avoids connection problems caused by angle deviation.
[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, in another embodiment, the inner wall of the adjusting frame 2 has an inclined limiting strip 21. The limiting strip 21 abuts against the bottom of the manhole cover 3, so that the top surface of the manhole cover 3 forms an angle of 1°-3° with the horizontal plane. The design principle is that the inclined angle of the limiting strip 21 directly acts on the bottom of the manhole cover 3, limiting the inclined state of the top surface of the manhole cover 3. The working process is that when the manhole cover 3 is fastened to the adjusting frame 2, its bottom contacts the limiting strip 21. Under the action of the limiting strip 21, the top surface of the manhole cover 3 presents a preset inclined angle.
[0030] The limiting strip 21 directly supports and limits the bottom of the manhole cover 3, ensuring the stability of the tilt angle of the top surface of the manhole cover 3. The integrated structure of the adjusting frame 2 and the limiting strip 21, together with the swing setting of the manhole cover 3, ensures the tilt angle of the manhole cover 3 without affecting its normal use, thus improving the compatibility of the drainage well with the sidewalk.
[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the upright plate 11 has a vertically extending grid 111, and the adjusting frame 2 has a limiting groove 22, which is engaged with the grid 111 located at the end. The design principle is to use the engagement relationship between the grid 111 and the limiting groove 22 to position the adjusting frame 2 on the well frame 1. The working process is to align the limiting groove 22 of the adjusting frame 2 with the grid 111 at the end of the upright plate 11 and engage it, then use fasteners to lock it in place, thus fixing the adjusting frame 2 on the well frame 1 and providing stable support for the well cover 3.
[0032] The cooperation between the grille 111 and the limiting groove 22 enables the positioning of the adjusting frame 2 and the well frame 1, which is simple and quick to operate. The grille 111 structure of the vertical plate 11 does not affect the drainage function of the water collection well, thus balancing structural stability and functionality.
[0033] like Figures 1-3As shown, in this embodiment, the top of the longitudinal beam 12 has a second inclined surface 23 that slopes upwards towards the center of the adjustment frame 2. The second inclined surface 23 has the same inclination angle as the first inclined surface 121, so that the second inclined surface 23 and the top surface of the manhole cover 3 are located on the same inclined surface. The design principle is to set the second inclined surface 23 with the same angle as the first inclined surface 121 so that the top of the longitudinal beam 12 and the top surface of the manhole cover 3 form a unified inclined surface. The working process is that the second inclined surface 23 of the longitudinal beam 12 and the top surface of the manhole cover 3 cooperate to form a continuous inclined surface, which is adapted to the slope of the sidewalk.
[0034] The inclined plane 23 and the top surface of the manhole cover 3 are located on the same inclined plane, which makes the connection between the longitudinal beam 12 and the manhole cover 3 smoother, avoids the height difference between the two, and enhances the overall coordination between the water collection well and the sidewalk.
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown in this embodiment, the lifting hole 31 on the manhole cover 3 is used to pry open the manhole cover 3, making the operation simpler.
[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the limiting slot 22 has mounting holes 221. The design principle is to use fasteners through the mounting holes 221 to further fix the adjusting frame 2 onto the grille 111. The workflow is as follows: after the limiting slot 22 of the adjusting frame 2 is engaged with the grille 111, fasteners are installed using the mounting holes 221 to make the adjusting frame 2 more firmly fixed to the grille 111.
[0037] The mounting hole 221 enhances the connection strength between the adjusting frame 2 and the grid 111, avoiding the loosening problem that may occur if only snap-fitting is used. Combined with the snap-fit function of the limiting groove 22, the fixing of the adjusting frame 2 on the well frame 1 is more reliable, ensuring the stable tilt of the well cover 3 and improving the stability of the overall structure.
[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the top of the adjusting frame 2 has a sloping surface 3 24 that is on the same inclined plane as the top surface of the manhole cover 3. The design principle is to enhance the continuity of the structure by forming a unified inclined plane with the top surface of the manhole cover 3 through the sloping surface 3 24. The working process is that after the adjusting frame 2 is installed and fixed, the sloping surface 3 24 at its top and the top surface of the snap-fit manhole cover 3 form a continuous inclined plane, which is adapted to the slope of the sidewalk.
[0039] The inclined surface 24 and the top surface of the manhole cover 3 are on the same inclined surface, making the connection between the top of the adjusting frame 2 and the manhole cover 3 smoother, eliminating the visual abruptness between the two and improving the overall aesthetics of the water collection well. At the same time, the uniform inclined surface is also conducive to guiding water flow, and together with the lifting hole 31 of the manhole cover 3, it improves the drainage effect.
[0040] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the adjusting frame 2 has a mounting groove 25, and the manhole cover 3 has a shaft 13, which is oscillatingly positioned within the mounting groove 25. The design principle is to achieve the oscillating function of the manhole cover 3 by oscillating the shaft 13 within the mounting groove 25. The working process is that the manhole cover 3 oscillates within the mounting groove 25 of the adjusting frame 2 via the shaft 13 to open and close, and when closed, it is fastened to the adjusting frame 2 to maintain an inclined angle.
[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the longitudinal beam 12 covers the mounting groove 25. The design principle is that the longitudinal beam 12 provides shielding protection for the mounting groove 25 and also limits the movement of the shaft 13.
[0042] Furthermore, in existing technologies, the adjusting frame 2 typically has reinforcing ribs in multiple locations, preventing it from directly contacting and fitting with the sidewalk bricks, leaving gaps. These gaps are usually filled and sealed with cement, but this not only affects aesthetics but also makes them prone to cracking. Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the reinforcing ribs on the adjustment frame 2 are removed, so that the adjustment frame 2 can directly abut and fit with the surrounding sidewalk, without the need to pour cement to fill the gaps, which is more aesthetically pleasing and the adjustment frame 2 has better integration with the surrounding sidewalk. It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
