Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fasteners, in particular to a bolt for cooperating with a wedge thread nut. BACKGROUND

[0002] The wedge thread self-locking nut is a kind of fastener with high locking performance, which is widely used in the fields of aviation, railway, bridge and automobile. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the wedge thread nut 1 has a 30° wedge inclined surface 11 at the root of its internal thread, and the thread tooth of the ordinary bolt 2 has a wedge inclined surface corresponding part corresponding to the wedge inclined surface 11, when the bolt nut is tightened, the wedge inclined surface corresponding part of the thread tooth top of the ordinary bolt is tightly pressed on the wedge inclined surface of the internal thread of the wedge thread nut, thereby generating a large locking force, due to the change of the angle of the tooth type, the normal force generated by the contact surface between the threads is 60° to the bolt axis, instead of 30° as in the ordinary thread, obviously, the radial centripetal force is much larger than the axial tightening pressure, therefore, the generated anti-loosening friction is necessarily greatly increased, the wedge thread nut directly cooperates with the external thread to achieve excellent self-locking performance, which greatly enhances the tightening force that cannot be compared with any standard thread fastener, and occupies an unshakable position in the similar industry.

[0003] For some equipment using wedge thread self-locking nuts, during the long-time operation, the wedge thread self-locking nut and the bolt need to be tightened and unscrewed many times, and due to the wedge thread of the wedge thread nut directly and rigidly cooperating with the ordinary external thread of the bolt, the contact friction is large, the friction generates metal chips, and the materials of the wedge thread nut and the bolt are usually similar, the friction generates heat and mutual melting, under the influence of product material properties, pressure and friction, the more metal chips are generated by the friction, the closer to the tail, and finally the metal chips accumulate, resulting in the easy occurrence of adhesion phenomenon at the threaded connection part, and even the serious occurrence of seizure and thread pull-out phenomenon, which affects the normal tightening and unscrewing, and affects the use of the wedge thread nut product. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a bolt for cooperating with a wedge thread nut, to solve the problem that the existing ordinary bolt is easy to cause adhesion and seizure phenomenon when cooperating with the wedge thread nut, thereby affecting the use of the product.

[0007] Beneficial effect: by setting common thread section and avoidance thread section on the bolt, and making the wedge inclined plane corresponding part of avoidance thread section lower than the wedge inclined plane corresponding part of common thread section, when the wedge thread nut is connected with the bolt, the wedge thread nut is screwed from avoidance thread section to common thread section, when the wedge thread nut passes through avoidance thread section, because the wedge inclined plane corresponding part of avoidance thread section is low in height, so that the tooth top of avoidance thread section and the wedge inclined plane of wedge thread nut have interval, can form avoidance to the wedge thread nut, avoid rigid contact friction, and after the wedge thread nut is screwed on common thread section, the wedge inclined plane corresponding part of common thread section can be pressed contact with the wedge inclined plane of wedge thread nut, so that under the condition of guaranteeing that the wedge thread nut is normally locked with the bolt, the effective friction length of threaded cooperation is reduced, the interval between the tooth top of avoidance thread section and the wedge inclined plane of wedge thread nut can resolve the accumulation of metal chips generated by friction, the bolt is not easy to stick and seize when cooperating with the wedge thread nut, which is beneficial to the normal tightening of the wedge thread nut and the bolt.

[0008] Further, the tooth top of the avoidance thread section is an inclined surface, with a reference surface being a surface passing through the bolt axis, the reference surface and the tooth top having an intersection line, the intersection line being disposed at an angle to the bolt axis, the tooth top of the avoidance thread section having a first portion and a second portion distributed along the axial direction of the bolt, the first portion being lower than the second portion, and the first portion being used to form the wedge inclined plane corresponding part of the avoidance thread section.

[0009] Beneficial effect: by making the tooth top of the avoidance thread section an inclined surface, the tooth top of the avoidance thread section has a low-height portion to form the wedge inclined plane corresponding part of the avoidance thread section, facilitating processing.

[0010] Further, the number of thread teeth on the avoidance thread section is two or more.

[0028] The application is further described in detail below in combination with embodiments.

[0029] Embodiment 1 of the bolt for cooperating with the wedge thread nut of the application:

[0030] As Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the bolt for cooperating with the wedge thread nut 1, i.e. the anti-blocking bolt 3, includes a bolt head and a bolt shank, the bolt shank includes an axially extending smooth shank portion and a screw portion, the bolt head is arranged at one end of the smooth shank portion, the screw portion is arranged at the other end of the smooth shank portion, the screw portion is provided with a threaded segment, the threaded segment includes an ordinary threaded segment and an avoidance threaded segment distributed along the axial direction, the ordinary threaded segment is used for locking cooperation with the wedge thread nut 1, and the avoidance threaded segment is used for avoiding the wedge inclined surface 11 of the wedge thread nut 1 when the wedge thread nut 1 is screwed, so as to reduce the friction.

[0031] The avoidance threaded segment of the anti-blocking bolt 3 is located at the end of the bolt shank away from the bolt head, i.e. the threaded tail of the anti-blocking bolt 3. The thread of the avoidance threaded segment has three flanks, i.e. the number of thread teeth on the avoidance threaded segment is three, each thread tooth has a tooth top, the tooth top of the avoidance threaded segment is an avoidance tooth top 31, the avoidance tooth top 31 is lower than the tooth top of the ordinary threaded segment, so that when the wedge thread nut 1 is threadedly connected on the avoidance threaded segment, the avoidance tooth top 31 does not contact the wedge inclined surface 11 of the wedge thread nut 1.

[0032] The avoidance tooth top 31 is an inclined surface, taking the surface intersecting the axis of the anti-blocking bolt 3 as a reference surface, the reference surface and the tooth top have an intersection line, the avoidance tooth top 31 is inclined to the reference surface, and the intersection line between the reference surface and the tooth top is a vertical intersection line, as shown in Figure 2 the up-down direction of the avoidance tooth top 31 is the vertical direction of the anti-blocking bolt 3, the reference surface in the vertical direction is a vertical reference surface, and the intersection line between the vertical reference surface and the tooth top is a vertical intersection line, as shown in Figure 3 the angle between the vertical intersection line and the axis of the anti-blocking bolt 3 is a.

[0033] The avoidance tooth top 31 has a first part and a second part distributed along the axial direction of the anti-blocking bolt 3, the first part is lower than the second part, and the first part is used to form a wedge inclined surface corresponding part of the avoidance threaded segment, the wedge inclined surface corresponding part of the avoidance threaded segment is used to be spaced apart from the wedge inclined surface 11 of the wedge thread nut 1, so that the tooth top of the avoidance threaded segment is spaced apart from the wedge inclined surface 11 of the wedge thread nut 1.

[0034] The tooth top of each thread tooth of the avoidance threaded segment is coplanar and on the same conical surface, and in the direction close to the ordinary threaded segment, the large diameter size of the avoidance threaded segment gradually increases, the tooth top height of the thread tooth on the avoidance threaded segment gradually increases, the height direction of the tooth top is the radial direction of the anti-blocking bolt 3, and the height of the tooth top refers to the height relative to the axis of the anti-blocking bolt 3. By setting the tooth top of the avoidance threaded segment as an inclined surface and making the tooth top of each thread tooth of the avoidance threaded segment coplanar, it is convenient to process by turning once, and a part of the thread tooth of the ordinary threaded tooth is removed to form the thread tooth of the avoidance threaded segment. At the same time, since the avoidance threaded segment becomes thick from thin in the direction close to the ordinary threaded segment, the wedge thread nut 1 can be guided when being screwed from the avoidance threaded segment to the ordinary threaded segment, and it is convenient to tighten and unscrew.

[0035] The thread of the common thread section is used to rigidly abut with the wedge-shaped inclined surface 11 of the wedge-shaped thread nut 1, and the common thread section is not subjected to the cutting treatment relative to the avoiding thread section. Since the thread of the anti-blocking bolt 3 is trapezoidal thread, the crest of the common thread section is flat, and the part of the crest of the common thread section used to contact the wedge-shaped inclined surface 11 of the wedge-shaped thread nut 1 constitutes the wedge-shaped inclined surface corresponding part of the common thread section. The wedge-shaped inclined surface corresponding part of the avoiding thread section is lower than the wedge-shaped inclined surface corresponding part of the common thread section.

[0036] In use, the wedge-shaped thread nut 1 is threadedly connected to the anti-blocking bolt 3, and is screwed from the avoiding thread section to the common thread section. When the wedge-shaped thread nut 1 passes through the avoiding thread section, the crest of the avoiding thread section is spaced from the wedge-shaped inclined surface 11 of the wedge-shaped thread nut 1 due to the lower height of the wedge-shaped inclined surface corresponding part of the avoiding thread section, so that the wedge-shaped thread nut 1 is avoided to be in rigid contact with the wedge-shaped inclined surface 11 of the wedge-shaped thread nut 1. After the wedge-shaped thread nut 1 is screwed to the common thread section, the wedge-shaped inclined surface corresponding part of the common thread section can be in contact with the wedge-shaped inclined surface 11 of the wedge-shaped thread nut 1, so as to ensure the locking of the wedge-shaped thread nut 1 and the anti-blocking bolt.

[0037] The avoiding thread section subjected to the cutting treatment is located at the tail region of the anti-blocking bolt 3, and the tail of the bolt is usually threaded out of the nut and is not threadedly connected with the nut. In normal use of the bolt and nut, the tail region of the bolt does not play a fastening role, but is a normal friction part when repeatedly tightened and threaded out. Therefore, the region is chamfered to form the avoiding thread section with a smaller diameter, which has no influence on the normal use and can form a larger gap between the bolt and the nut at the tail, so as to shorten the effective friction length of the bolt in the thread of the wedge-shaped thread nut. The larger gap at the tail can also alleviate the metal chips generated by the friction of the common thread section, so that the metal chips are not easily accumulated. The repeatedly tightening and threading out refers to repeatedly tightening and separating the bolt and the nut. In this way, the bolt is not easily subjected to thread adhesion and seizure due to extrusion deformation when cooperating with the wedge-shaped thread nut, and has the advantages of convenient use, frequent tightening and threading out, etc., which is beneficial to the use reliability of the wedge-shaped thread nut and the bolt.

[0038] Embodiment 2 of the bolt for cooperating with the wedge-shaped thread nut of the present application:

[0039] The difference between the present embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the crest of the avoiding thread section is lower than the crest of the common thread section in embodiment 1. In the present embodiment, the crest of the avoiding thread section comprises a flat part and an inclined part, the flat part is flush with the crest of the common thread section, and the inclined part is lower than the flat part. The inclined part constitutes the wedge-shaped inclined surface corresponding part of the avoiding thread section, and the inclined part of the crest of the avoiding thread section is formed by chamfering one side edge of the crest.

[0040] Embodiment 3 of the bolt for cooperating with the wedge thread nut of the present application:

[0041] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the tooth top of the thread avoidance section is a plane, and the tooth top of the thread avoidance section is parallel to the tooth top of the normal thread section.

[0042] Embodiment 4 of the bolt for cooperating with the wedge thread nut of the present application:

[0043] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the tooth top of the thread avoidance section is a plane, and the tooth top of the thread avoidance section is parallel to the tooth top of the normal thread section.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application, although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments without creative labor, or make equivalent replacement for part of the technical features.
