【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、マンホール用蓋のような地下構造物用蓋に関し、特に、蓋裏側に鍵挿入部を閉塞する弁体が揺動可能に取り付けられている地下構造物用蓋に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
地下構造物用蓋としては外周部に切欠き状等の鍵挿入部(バール孔)を形成したものが広く使用されていて、この地下構造物用蓋を用いている場合には、地下構造物の開口部にはめ込まれている蓋の鍵挿入部に鉤棒(バール)の先端を挿入して蓋裏面に引っかけ、この蓋を持ち上げて開けることにより地下構造物の開口部を開放することができる。そして、蓋が簡単に開けられるのを防ぐために、また土砂等が地下構造物内に大量に流れ込まないように、弁蓋を有する弁体を用い、弁蓋が鍵挿入部を塞ぐようにこの弁体を地下構造物用蓋の裏面側に取り付けたものが多く採用されている。この場合には、弁体を地下構造物用蓋の裏側に揺動可能に取り付けるとともに、弁蓋が鍵挿入部を塞ぐように弁体を付勢しておき、通常時には弁蓋が鍵挿入部を閉塞するような揺動状態となるように構成しておく必要がある。付勢は弁体にウェイトを設けることのみにより行う場合もあるが、より確実に鍵挿入部を塞ぐために、地下構造物用蓋の裏側及び弁体間にバネ手段等の弾性体を配置し、弁体に鍵挿入部閉塞方向の弾性力を作用させる場合が多い。鍵挿入部を閉塞している弁蓋を鉤棒の先端で押して付勢力に抗して弁蓋を押し下げることにより鍵挿入部は開放され、鍵挿入部内に鉤棒の先端を挿入することができる。弁体にはまた、地下構造物用蓋が地下構造物内の圧力の異常上昇などにより大きく浮き上がらないようにロック手段が形成されることが多く、このロック手段は、弁体が閉塞状態のときに地下構造物用蓋の受枠(地下構造物)に形成された係止部と係合状態となるように弁体の下側に設けられた鉤状突起であるのが普通であって、この鉤状突起は弁蓋の押し下げにより後方に回転移動して係止部に対し係合解除状態となる。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、土砂などの流れ込み等を十分に防止するためには、弁蓋が鍵挿入部を完全に又はほぼ完全に閉塞するように構成するのが好ましい。しかしながら、地下構造物用蓋の蓋受枠に対する閉塞構造は、蓋受枠の上側内周面を下方内側へのテーパ面として形成し、蓋の外周面を蓋受枠の上側内周面に隙間なくはまり込むように下方内側へのテーパ面として形成して構成されるのが普通である。したがって、例えば鍵挿入部が蓋の外周部に形成された切欠き状の鍵孔である場合に、弁蓋が鍵挿入部を全面的に又はほぼ全面的に閉塞するように、すなわち、閉塞時に弁蓋の先端(あるいは外端)が蓋受枠の上側内周面と接近するように構成しておくと、押し下げ時に弁蓋の先端が蓋受枠の上側内周面と接触あるいは衝突してそれ以上弁蓋を押し下げることができなくなってしまう。鍵挿入部が切欠き状ではなく、穿孔状の鍵孔である場合にも、この鍵孔を全面的に又はほぼ全面的に閉塞するように構成すると、押し下げ時に弁蓋の先端が鍵孔の内周面の外側部又は外側壁と接触あるいは衝突することがある。このような事情があるために、弁体を有する地下構造物用蓋は、例えば鍵挿入部が切欠き状の鍵孔である場合には、閉塞時に弁蓋の先端と蓋受枠の上側内周面との間に比較的大きい隙間が形成されるように構成されているので、土砂等の流入を十分に防止できる構造とはなっていない。
【0004】
また、蓋受枠に形成された係止部と係合する鉤状突起などのロック手段を弁体の下側に設ける場合には、地下構造物用蓋を開けて閉めるときにロック手段の先端部下面(先端に向かって上昇するように、あるいは外側上方に傾斜するように形成されるのが普通である)が蓋受枠の上縁部と当接し蓋が閉まらなくなるおそれがある。蓋が閉まらなくなった場合には、蓋を多少持ち上げてロック手段を内側に、すなわち開放方向あるいは解除方向に回転させ、再び蓋を閉めるという煩雑な作業が必要となる。
【0005】
そこで、本発明は弁蓋が鍵挿入部を全面的に又はほぼ全面的に閉塞するように構成しても、鍵挿入部の開放作業に支障が生じることがないような、あるいは弁体にロック手段を構成しても地下構造物の開口部閉塞作業が煩わしいものとはならないような地下構造物用蓋を提供することを目的とする。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
この目的を達成するための本発明の地下構造物用蓋は、外周部(外側部)に鍵挿入部が形成され、蓋裏側にこの鍵挿入部を塞ぐように付勢された弁体が揺動可能に取り付けられていると共に、前記弁体の下側には地下構造物の内面に形成された係止部に係合するロック手段が形成されている地下構造物用蓋であって、前記弁体は弾性体の弾性力に抗して水平方向後方に移動できるように取り付けられていると共に前記弾性体によって閉塞方向及び水平方向前方へ付勢されていることを特徴とするものである。鍵挿入部を開放するために弁体の弁蓋上面を押して弁体を揺動させると、弁体は揺動にしたがって水平方向後方へ移動するので、弁蓋が鍵挿入部を完全に又はほぼ完全に閉塞するように構成しても、弁蓋の先端と蓋受枠の内周面などとが当接して鍵挿入部の開放に支障が生じるといった事態は発生しない。また、本発明では、弁体を開放方向に揺動させると弁蓋の先端が蓋受枠の内周面などに当接するが、弁蓋を押し続ければ、蓋受枠の内周面などに押されて弁体が水平方向後方に移動し、同時に開放方向に回転又は揺動するというように構成することもできる。弁体はウェイト又は/及び弾性体により鍵挿入部を閉塞する方向に付勢されるが、水平方向後方に移動させてから押し下げ力を解除すればもとの位置に前進するように、あるいはもとの位置まで外側に移動するように、少なくとも後方移動時には弾性体によって水平方向前方に付勢されていることが必要である。弁体を閉塞方向に付勢するのに弾性体を用いる場合であっても、水平方向前方又は外側への付勢にこの弾性体とは別の弾性体を用いることも可能ではあるが、弁体取付構造を簡単なものとするために、同一の弾性体によって閉塞方向及び水平方向前方への付勢を行うように構成するのが効果的である。
【0007】
本発明における弁体の取付構造はより具体的には、弁体に左右一対の支持ピンを設け、この支持ピンを弁体の揺動中心となるように、蓋裏側に設けられた左右一対のブラケットに回転可能にはめ込み、さらに、支持ピンが弾性体の弾性力に抗して水平方向後方にスライドできるように構成する。このような取付構造は簡単な構造であり、かつ弁体の安定した作動を確保する。支持ピンを簡単な構造で水平方向後方へスライドできるようにするためには、ブラケットに後方に延びる(具体的には水平方向後方に、あるいは直線的に後方に延びる)溝(凹部)又は孔あるいはガイドを設けておき、支持ピンがこの溝又は孔あるいはガイドに沿って回転可能な状態で移動(具体的には水平方向に移動、あるいは水平方向に直線的に移動)できるように構成する。例えば、支持ピンを左右一対のブラケットにより構成された水平方向後方に延びる支持溝に回転可能にはめ込む。支持溝の高さは、例えば、支持ピンの径とほぼ等しく設定される。また、例えば、弾性体を、一端部及び他端部の間に一対のコイル部を有するダブルトーションスプリングとし、一対のコイル部をそれぞれ、支持ピンの外周に嵌めるとともに、一端部を蓋裏側に取り付け、他端部を弁体に取り付ける。そして、弁体が、ダブルトーションスプリングの他端部により閉塞方向に回転するように付勢され、ダブルトーションスプリングの一端部とコイル部との間の部分の変形により水平方向前方に付勢されるように構成する。
【0008】
また、本発明では、弁体に鉤状突起などのロック手段が設けられるが、ロック手段が蓋受枠の上縁部と当接しても、弁体は後方に移動してロック手段と蓋受枠の上縁部との係合状態が自動的に解除されるか、または地下構造物用蓋を踏みつけることにより弁体を後方に移動させて係合状態を簡単に解除できる。なお、本発明における弁体の取付構造は、ロック手段が蓋受枠と当接することによる不都合を解消することのみ、あるいはその他の課題を解決することのみを目的として構成される場合もある。
【0009】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態を図面を参照して説明する。
【0010】
図1は本発明が適用されたマンホール用蓋をマンホール構造物に取り付けた状態を示す断面図、図2はマンホール用蓋の弁体取付部分の拡大図である。
【0011】
マンホール用蓋1(地下構造物用蓋)の蓋本体3は、外周に下方に延びる短いほぼ筒状の縁枠5及び裏面側に補強リブ7が一体的に形成された薄肉の円盤体に構成されている。蓋本体3の縁枠5の外周面は下方内側に傾斜するテーパ面として形成されていて、蓋本体3は、蓋受枠9(マンホール構造物:地下構造物)の下方に向かって内側に傾斜するテーパ面として形成されている上側内周面に囲まれた開口部にはめ込まれている。蓋本体3の裏面側外周部(外側部)には蝶番11が取り付けられていて、この蝶番11は蓋受枠9の内周面に設けられた蝶番受け13の挿入孔15内に差し込まれている。蝶番11は上端部両側に支持用ピン17を有していて、この支持用ピン17が蓋本体3の裏面に設けられたブラケット19に回転又は回動可能に支えられることにより蝶番11は蓋本体3に揺動可能に取り付けられている。蓋本体3の外周部(外側部)には、蝶番11と反対側に切欠き状の鍵孔21(鍵挿入部)が形成されていて、蓋本体3の裏面側にはこの鍵孔21を下側から塞ぐ弁体23が揺動可能に取り付けられている。弁体23は鍵孔21を開閉する弁蓋25と、この弁蓋25の下側に設けられた支持部27と、蓋受枠9に設けられた係止部29に係合してマンホール用蓋1の浮き上がりを防止する鉤状突起31とから構成されていて、支持部27の両側には支持ピン33が形成され、この支持ピン33が蓋本体3の裏面に一体的に形成されたブラケット35により構成されている支持溝又は支持凹部37(横溝)に回転又は回動可能にはまり込んで支えられている(図3も参照:図3は支持ピン33の支持溝37へのはまり込み状態を示す図)。弁蓋25はほぼ完全に、すなわち弁蓋25と蓋受枠9の上側内周面との間、及び弁蓋25と鍵孔21の後壁(内側壁又は後側内面)との間にそれぞれ僅かな隙間が設けられる状態で鍵孔21を閉塞している。
【0012】
弁体23と蓋本体3との間にはダブルトーションスプリング39(弾性体)が配置され、このダブルトーションスプリング39のスプリング力(弾性力)により弁体23は弁蓋25が鍵孔21を塞ぐ方向に常に付勢されている(矢印A参照)。ダブルトーションスプリング39の連続側一端部41は、蓋本体3の裏面に一体的に設けられた取付部43の外側面(鍵孔21側の面)に形成されているはめ込み細溝又ははめ込み小凹部45内にはめ込まれて取り付けられていて、取付部43を貫通するボルト47の頭部と取付部43の外側面との間に挟まれたワッシャ49が連続側一端部41のはめ込み細溝45からの脱落を防止している。ダブルトーションスプリング39の両コイル部51はそれぞれ、支持ピン33の外側にはめられ、一対の他端部53はそれぞれ、弁蓋25と支持部27との間に形成されている左右両側のはめ込み細溝55内にはめ込まれて取り付けられている。ダブルトーションスプリング39のコイル部51と連続側一端部41との間の連結部57は、支持ピン33の後方への移動に対して適度なバネ力を作用させることができるように長く形成されている。なお、図1中59は蝶番11の中間部に形成され、蝶番受け13と係合して蓋本体3の浮き上がりを防止する鉤状突起、61は蝶番11の下端部に形成された抜け止め突起であり、この抜け止め突起61が蝶番受け13に係合することにより、蓋開放時の蓋本体3と蓋受枠9との連結が保持される。
【0013】
図4は弁蓋25を開けた状態を示す図である。
【0014】
マンホール用蓋1を開けて蓋受枠9の開口部を開放するには、鍵孔21に鍵棒63の先端部を挿入して弁蓋25を押し下げ、鍵棒63を適当に回転させて引っかけ部65を鍵孔21の裏面側周辺両側部に引っかけ、蝶番11側を中心としてマンホール用蓋1を上方に回転させる。弁蓋25を押し下げると、弁蓋25の先端が蓋受枠9の上側内周面と接触するが、引き続き弁蓋25に押し下げ力を加えると、支持ピン33はダブルトーションスプリング39のスプリング力に抗してブラケット35により構成される支持溝37に沿って後方にスライドするので(矢印B参照)、弁蓋25が鍵孔21を十分開放するまで弁体23を揺動させることができる。なお、弁蓋25を押し下げると、蓋受枠9の上側内周面と接触しなくても、弁体23はダブルトーションスプリング39のスプリング力に抗して後方に多少スライドするので、弁蓋25の先端が蓋受枠9の上側内周面と適当な間隔を開けた状態で下降するように構成することができる。支持溝37の高さ、すなわち、支持ピン33が摺動する支持溝37の下面69(水平方向に延びている)と支持溝37の上面71(蓋本体3の裏面)との間隔は、支持ピン33の径とほぼ等しく形成され、支持ピン33と支持溝37の上面71との間には僅かな隙間しかないので、弁体23はほぼ水平方向に移動することとなり、弁体23の前後方向の移動は円滑に行われることとなる。そして、鍵棒63を鍵孔21から引き抜くと、ダブルトーションスプリング39のスプリング力によって弁体23は閉塞方向に揺動することとなるが、支持ピン33もダブルトーションスプリング39のスプリング力によってブラケット35により構成されている支持溝37に沿って溝の先端壁67(図3参照)に当接するまで前方にスライドするので、弁蓋25は鍵孔21をほぼ完全に閉塞する位置に復帰する。
【0015】
図5はマンホール用蓋1による閉塞過程を説明する図である。
【0016】
マンホール用蓋1を手で支えて蝶番11側を中心として回転させ、蓋受枠9の開口部を閉塞する場合には、鉤状突起31の先端部下面が蓋受枠9の上縁部又は上側内周面と当接してマンホール用蓋1が閉まらない状態となることがある。この場合に、マンホール用蓋1の上面を足で踏みつけると、支持ピン33がダブルトーションスプリング39のスプリング力に抗して後方に移動し(矢印B参照)、したがって鉤状突起31は蓋受枠9の上端縁、上側内周面を擦りながら後方に移動するので、マンホール用蓋1は蓋受枠9の開口部内にはまり込み、開口部を閉塞することとなる(図1の状態)。
【0017】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本発明によれば、鍵挿入部のスムーズな開放作業を損なうことがなく、しかも鍵挿入部を弁体で全面的又はほぼ全面的に閉塞しておくことができる地下構造物用蓋を提供できる。
【0018】
また、本発明によれば、地下構造物の開口部閉塞時に蓋受枠の上縁部と当接するようなロック手段を設けても、閉塞作業が煩わしいものとはならない地下構造物用蓋を提供できる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an underground structure lid such as a manhole cover, and more particularly to an underground structure lid in which a valve body for closing a key insertion portion is swingably attached to the back side of the lid.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As the lid for underground structures, those with a notch-like key insertion part (bar hole) formed on the outer periphery are widely used. When this underground structure lid is used, The opening of the underground structure can be opened by inserting the tip of a bar into the key insertion part of the lid fitted in the opening of the lid, hooking it on the back of the lid, and lifting and opening the lid. . In order to prevent the lid from being opened easily, and to prevent earth and sand from flowing into the underground structure in large quantities, a valve body having a valve lid is used, and this valve is closed so that the valve lid closes the key insertion portion. Many are used with the body attached to the back of the lid for underground structures. In this case, the valve body is swingably attached to the back side of the lid for the underground structure, and the valve body is urged so that the valve lid closes the key insertion portion. It is necessary to configure so as to be in a swinging state so as to block. The biasing may be performed only by providing a weight on the valve body, but in order to block the key insertion portion more securely, an elastic body such as a spring means is disposed between the back side of the lid for the underground structure and the valve body, In many cases, an elastic force in the direction of closing the key insertion portion is applied to the valve body. The key insertion part is opened by pushing the valve lid that closes the key insertion part with the tip of the club pin and depressing the valve cover against the biasing force, and the tip of the club can be inserted into the key insertion part. . The valve body is often formed with locking means so that the underground structure lid does not rise significantly due to an abnormal increase in pressure in the underground structure, and this locking means is used when the valve body is in a closed state. It is usually a hook-shaped protrusion provided on the lower side of the valve body so as to be engaged with a locking portion formed on the receiving frame (underground structure) of the lid for the underground structure. The hook-shaped protrusion rotates backward by the depression of the valve lid and is disengaged from the engaging portion.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, in order to sufficiently prevent inflow of earth and sand or the like, it is preferable that the valve lid is configured to completely or almost completely close the key insertion portion. However, the closed structure of the lid for the underground structure lid with respect to the lid receiving frame is formed such that the upper inner circumferential surface of the lid receiving frame is a taper surface to the lower inner side, and the outer circumferential surface of the lid fits into the upper inner circumferential surface of the lid receiving frame without gaps. In general, it is formed and formed as a taper surface inwardly downward. Therefore, for example, when the key insertion portion is a notch-shaped key hole formed in the outer peripheral portion of the lid, the valve lid may completely or substantially completely block the key insertion portion, that is, at the time of closing. If the tip (or outer end) of the valve lid is configured to approach the upper inner peripheral surface of the lid receiving frame, the tip of the valve lid will contact or collide with the upper inner peripheral surface of the lid receiving frame when pushed down. The valve lid cannot be pushed down. Even when the key insertion portion is not a notch shape but a perforated key hole, if the key hole is configured to be completely or almost completely blocked, the tip of the valve lid will be It may contact or collide with the outer part or outer wall of the inner peripheral surface. Due to such circumstances, the lid for an underground structure having a valve body, for example, when the key insertion portion is a notch-shaped key hole, the top end of the valve lid and the upper inner periphery of the lid receiving frame when closed. Since it is configured such that a relatively large gap is formed between the surface and the surface, the structure cannot sufficiently prevent inflow of earth and sand.
[0004]
In addition, when a locking means such as a hook-shaped projection that engages with a locking portion formed on the lid receiving frame is provided on the lower side of the valve body, the tip of the locking means when opening and closing the underground structure lid There is a possibility that the lower surface (usually formed so as to rise toward the front end or to be inclined upward and outward) abuts on the upper edge of the lid receiving frame and the lid cannot be closed. When the lid cannot be closed, a complicated operation is required in which the lid is lifted up slightly, the lock means is rotated inward, that is, in the opening direction or the releasing direction, and the lid is closed again.
[0005]
Therefore, the present invention does not hinder the opening operation of the key insertion portion even when the valve lid is configured to completely or almost completely block the key insertion portion, or is locked to the valve body. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cover for an underground structure that does not bother the operation of closing the opening of the underground structure even if the means is configured.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve this object, the lid for an underground structure according to the present invention has a key insertion portion formed on the outer peripheral portion (outside portion), and a valve body biased so as to close the key insertion portion on the back side of the lid swings. A lid for an underground structure that is movably attached and has a locking means that engages with a locking portion formed on an inner surface of the underground structure on the lower side of the valve body , the valve body is characterized in that it is urged closed and horizontally forward by the elastic body with mounted such that it can be moved horizontally backward against the elastic force of the elastic body . When the valve body is swung by pushing the upper surface of the valve lid of the valve body to release the key insertion part, the valve body moves rearward in the horizontal direction according to the rocking, so that the valve cover completely or almost completely closes the key insertion part. Even if it is configured to be completely closed, there will be no situation in which the tip of the valve lid and the inner peripheral surface of the lid receiving frame come into contact with each other to hinder the opening of the key insertion portion. Further, in the present invention, when the valve body is swung in the opening direction, the tip of the valve lid comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the lid receiving frame. However, if the valve lid is kept pressed, it is pushed by the inner peripheral surface of the lid receiving frame. The valve body can also be configured to move rearward in the horizontal direction and simultaneously rotate or swing in the opening direction. The valve body is urged in a direction to close the key insertion portion by a weight or / and an elastic body, but if it is moved backward in the horizontal direction and then the pressing force is released, it will advance to the original position, or It is necessary to be urged forward in the horizontal direction by the elastic body at least during backward movement so as to move outward to the position. Even when an elastic body is used to urge the valve body in the closing direction, it is possible to use an elastic body other than this elastic body for urging forward or outward in the horizontal direction. In order to simplify the body mounting structure, it is effective that the same elastic body is used to urge forward in the closing direction and in the horizontal direction .
[0007]
More specifically, the valve body mounting structure in the present invention is provided with a pair of left and right support pins on the valve body, and a pair of left and right provided on the back side of the lid so that the support pins serve as the pivot center of the valve body. The bracket is rotatably fitted, and the support pin is configured to be slidable in the horizontal direction against the elastic force of the elastic body. Such a mounting structure is a simple structure and ensures stable operation of the valve body. In order to allow the support pin to slide in the horizontal rear direction with a simple structure, a groove (concave portion) or hole extending rearward ( specifically extending rearward in the horizontal direction or rearward linearly) to the bracket or A guide is provided, and the support pin is configured to be movable ( specifically , moved in the horizontal direction or linearly moved in the horizontal direction) while being rotatable along the groove, hole, or guide. For example, the support pin is rotatably fitted in a support groove extending rearward in the horizontal direction formed by a pair of left and right brackets. The height of the support groove is set to be approximately equal to the diameter of the support pin, for example. Also, for example, the elastic body is a double torsion spring having a pair of coil portions between one end and the other end, and the pair of coil portions are fitted on the outer periphery of the support pin, respectively, and one end is attached to the back side of the lid The other end is attached to the valve body. The valve body is urged to rotate in the closing direction by the other end portion of the double torsion spring, and is urged forward in the horizontal direction by deformation of a portion between one end portion of the double torsion spring and the coil portion. Configure as follows.
[0008]
Further, in the present invention, the valve body is provided with a locking means such as a hook-shaped protrusion. However, even if the locking means abuts on the upper edge of the lid receiving frame, the valve body moves rearward and the locking means and the lid receiving frame The engaged state with the upper edge portion is automatically released, or the engaging state can be easily released by moving the valve body rearward by stepping on the cover for the underground structure. In addition, the attachment structure of the valve body in this invention may be comprised only for the purpose of only eliminating the inconvenience by a locking means contacting a cover receiving frame, or solving another subject.
[0009]

The connecting portion 57 between the coil portion 51 of the double torsion spring 39 and the one end portion 41 on the continuous side is formed long so that an appropriate spring force can be applied to the rearward movement of the support pin 33. Yes. In FIG. 1, 59 is formed at an intermediate portion of the hinge 11 and engages with the hinge receiver 13 to prevent the lid body 3 from being lifted. 61 is a retaining protrusion formed at the lower end of the hinge 11. Since the retaining protrusion 61 is engaged with the hinge receiver 13, the connection between the lid body 3 and the lid receiving frame 9 when the lid is opened is maintained.
[0013]
FIG. 4 is a view showing a state in which the valve lid 25 is opened.
[0014]
In order to open the manhole cover 1 and open the opening of the cover receiving frame 9, the tip of the key rod 63 is inserted into the key hole 21, the valve lid 25 is pushed down, and the key rod 63 is appropriately rotated to engage the hook portion. 65 is hooked on both sides around the back side of the keyhole 21, and the manhole cover 1 is rotated upward about the hinge 11 side. When the valve lid 25 is pushed down, the tip of the valve lid 25 comes into contact with the upper inner peripheral surface of the lid receiving frame 9, but when a pushing force is continuously applied to the valve lid 25, the support pin 33 resists the spring force of the double torsion spring 39. Then, since it slides rearward along the support groove 37 constituted by the bracket 35 (see arrow B), the valve body 23 can be swung until the valve lid 25 sufficiently opens the key hole 21. When the valve lid 25 is pushed down, the valve body 23 slides slightly against the spring force of the double torsion spring 39 without contacting the upper inner peripheral surface of the lid receiving frame 9. The tip can be configured to descend with an appropriate distance from the upper inner peripheral surface of the lid receiving frame 9. The height of the support groove 37, that is, the distance between the lower surface 69 (extending in the horizontal direction) of the support groove 37 on which the support pin 33 slides and the upper surface 71 (back surface of the lid body 3) of the support groove 37 is Since the diameter of the pin 33 is substantially the same, and there is only a slight gap between the support pin 33 and the upper surface 71 of the support groove 37, the valve body 23 moves in a substantially horizontal direction. The movement of the direction is performed smoothly. When the key bar 63 is pulled out from the key hole 21, the valve body 23 swings in the closing direction by the spring force of the double torsion spring 39, but the support pin 33 is also moved to the bracket 35 by the spring force of the double torsion spring 39. The valve lid 25 returns to the position where the key hole 21 is almost completely closed, because it slides forward along the support groove 37 constituted by the above until it comes into contact with the tip wall 67 (see FIG. 3) of the groove.
[0015]
FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining a closing process by the manhole cover 1.
[0016]
When the manhole cover 1 is supported by hand and rotated around the hinge 11 side to close the opening of the cover receiving frame 9, the lower surface of the tip of the hook-shaped protrusion 31 is located on the upper edge or upper side of the cover receiving frame 9. The manhole cover 1 may be in a state where it does not close due to contact with the peripheral surface. In this case, when the upper surface of the manhole cover 1 is stepped on with a foot, the support pin 33 moves backward against the spring force of the double torsion spring 39 (see arrow B). Therefore, the manhole cover 1 fits into the opening of the cover receiving frame 9 and closes the opening (state shown in FIG. 1).
[0017]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, the underground structure that does not impair the smooth opening operation of the key insertion portion, and can block the key insertion portion entirely or almost entirely with the valve body. An object lid can be provided.
[0018]
In addition, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a lid for an underground structure that does not bother the closing operation even if a locking means is provided so as to contact the upper edge of the lid receiving frame when the opening of the underground structure is closed. .
