The other two sides of the bottom of the top cover 31 near the cavity are provided with a first slide 313. A hole 314 is provided on the top of the top cover 31. The two movable plates 32 slide with the first slide 313. The movable plates 32 are dynamically connected, and a first spring 341 is connected between the non-opposite side of the two movable plates 32 and the two ends of the first slideway 313. The top of the top plate 33 is arranged at the bottom of the nut 1 cavity, and a second spring 342 is connected between the top of the top plate 33 near the two ends and the top cover 31. A top block 331 is arranged at the top of the top plate 33, and a bottom block 332 is arranged at the bottom of the top plate 33 near the two ends. The top plate 33, the top block 331 and the bottom block 332 are an integrated structure. The inner wall of the hole 314 is aligned with the outer wall of the top block 331. Through grooves are provided at both ends of the nut 1 cavity near the bottom of the inner wall, and the inner wall of the through groove corresponds to the outer wall of the bottom block 332.

[0027] Based on the above structure, Figure 3-4 As shown, the early warning of the bolt includes the following states:

[0028] Initial state: the top cover 31 is fixed to the top of the nut 1, the top plate 33 slides toward the bottom of the cavity of the nut 1 under the pressure of the first spring 341, the bottom block 332 extends through the through slot to the bottom of the nut 1, the two movable plates 32 are pressed by the second spring 342, the two movable plates fit on opposite sides, and the two movable plates can only be observed through the hole 314;

[0029] Tightened state: the bottom block 332 slides toward the top cover 31 through the slot under the reverse thrust of the cross section of the fixed object, the first spring 341 is compressed by the force of the top plate 33, the bottom end of the nut 1 fits with the cross section of the fixed object, the bottom end of the bottom block 332 fits with the cross section of the fixed object, the two movable plates 32 move toward the two limit blocks 312 along the first slideway respectively under the force of the top block 332, the second spring 342 is compressed by the force of the movable plate 32, the top end of the top block 331 is embedded in the hole 314, and the top block 331 can only be observed through the hole 314;

[0030] Warning status: the bolts and the fixture are loose, the bottom end of the nut 1 is separated from the cross-section of the fixture, the top plate 33 slides along the inner wall of the nut 1 cavity toward the bottom end of the nut 1 cavity under the force of the first spring 341, the bottom block 332 slides through the inner wall of the through groove toward the cross-section of the fixture, the top block 332 slides toward the bottom end of the nut 1 along the top plate 33, and the two movable plates 32 slide under the pressure of the second spring 342. The two movable plates and the top block 331 can be observed through the hole 314.

[0031] Furthermore, in order to better identify the status of the warning device 3, the two movable panels 32 are red.

[0032] Furthermore, in order to better identify the status of the warning device 3, the top block 331 is green.

[0033] Further, such as Figure 3-4 As shown, in order to separate the opposite sides of the two movable plates 32 after being subjected to the force of the top block 331, grooves are provided on the opposite sides of the two movable plates 32, and the opposite sides of the two movable plates 32 near the top are arranged to be in an arc shape, and the top of the top block 331 near the outer wall is a cone, so that the apex of the cone can be more easily pushed into between the opposite sides of the two movable plates 32 near the top, and the arc outer wall can slide more easily along the outer wall of the cone.

[0034] Further, such as Figure 5 As shown, the distance from the top of the top block 331 to the top of the top plate 33 is the same as the distance from the bottom of the bottom block 332 to the bottom of the top plate 33, and the distance from the bottom of the first slideway 313 to the bottom of the nut 1 is the same as the distance from the bottom of the top plate 33 to the bottom of the bottom block 332. When the bolt and the fixture are fully tightened, the outer wall of the top block 331 fits the inner wall of the hole 314, and the bottom end of the bottom block 332 is aligned parallel to the bottom end of the nut 1, thereby rationally utilizing the cavity space of the nut 1.

[0035] Embodiment 2:

[0036] like Figure 3-5 As shown, based on the first embodiment, the bottom block 332 further includes a gasket 4, which is detachably connected to the bottom end of the bottom block 332, and the gasket 4 is made of rubber.

[0037] Furthermore, as shown in FIG6 , protrusions are evenly distributed on the bottom end of the gasket 4 .

[0038] Based on the above structure, Figure 5 and 6 As shown, when the bolt is loosened, the top plate 33 moves downward due to the rebound force of the first spring 341, and the gasket 4 is compressed due to the rebound force, so that the bottom end of the gasket 4 fits more closely with the fixed object. At the same time, the evenly distributed protrusions on the bottom end of the gasket 4 increase the friction between the gasket 4 and the cross-section of the fixed object when the bolt is loosened and rotated, thereby playing a role in preventing loosening.

[0039] Embodiment three:

[0040] like Figure 4 and 5As shown, based on the second embodiment, a groove 22 is provided at the bottom end of the screw 2, and a fastening rod 21 is slidably provided in the groove 22. An extension portion is provided at the top of the fastening rod 21, and the middle portion of the extension portion can be bent outward. The bolt is provided with a second slideway 23 that passes through both ends of the screw 2 and the bottom end of the groove 22. When the bolt is fastened to the fixed object, the fastening rod 21 is affected by the reaction force of the bottom end of the threaded hole and slides upward along the inner wall of the groove. The extension portion of the fastening rod 21 is folded toward the outer wall of the bolt along the second slideway 23 due to the sliding of the fastening rod 21. When the bolt is completely fastened to the fixed object, the folded portion of the extension portion of the fastening rod 21 is affected by the force and is clamped with the outer wall of the threaded hole. The folded portion of the extension portion of the fastening rod 21 applies pressure to the inner wall of the threaded hole, thereby achieving a better anti-loosening effect.

[0041] In summary, compared with the prior art, in order to provide an obvious prompt when the bolt is loose, the present invention is provided with a cavity with an opening upward, and an early warning device 3 is provided in the cavity of the nut 1. In order to separate the two movable plates 32 on opposite sides after being subjected to the force of the top block 331, the two movable plates 32 are provided with an arc shape on opposite sides near the top, and the top of the top block 331 near the outer wall is a cone. In order to prevent loosening, the bottom block 332 also includes a gasket 4, and protrusions are evenly distributed on the bottom end of the gasket 4. In order to better prevent loosening, the screw 2 includes a fastening rod 21, a groove 22 and a second slide 23.
