Yangzhou University Students Invented Smart Manholes to Help Urban Emergency Drainage

Science and technology trends have Suzhou and Hangzhou under heaven, and Yangzhou is located on the edge of the Yangtze River in Jiangsu Province. As a typical southern city, Yangzhou City, like many southern cities, faces the turmoil of the rainy season every year. For a city, the continuous and rain showers bring the air to the entire city, and the city's water management is also a challenge for the city.

Last year, a few unexpected events in Hangzhou will result in the collapse of several drainage systems in Hangzhou City. Many cities are limited to stagnant water and urban traffic is rampant. Inspired by this, Wang Jie, a junior female student of the College of Water Energy of Yangzhou University, invented a new smart manhole cover, which is expected to improve the urban road drainage system.

Wang Jie believes that the first thing that citizens think of when they mention Shajing is the Tuojing well in the middle of the road. However, the hole of this type of well is very small and the drainage function is very limited. Truly excluding road surface rain is the well in the side of the road. She and the team invented the smart manhole cover. The smart thing about this new type of manhole cover is the addition of a smart device that automatically switches according to drainage conditions. The team member Cao Wenhan introduced us to the function of the device: when there is not much rain, the device is in a closed state; when there is a lot of rain, the road forms a large amount of accumulated water, the device is opened, and the smart manhole cover is “smartly transformed” and increased. Fast drainage speed reduces road area water. As for the core technology may be confidential for the time being, because this technology will apply for related patents.

Professor Yan Bin of Yang Da Water Power Institute is very supportive of students after learning about R&D. He said that while studying how to solve the problem of urban drainage, many people are focusing on drainage pipes, and students are concerned about manholes and manhole covers to find the maximum drainage method. From the preliminary design and preliminary experiments, under the same conditions, the drainage performance of the smart manhole cover can be fully maximized. Once this technology is mature, it has great promotion value.
