[0005] In a preferred embodiment, in the annular structure of the body 1, the length ratio of the inner ring diameter to the outer ring diameter is 2:3.
[0006] In a preferred embodiment, in the annular structure of the body 1, the ratio of the depth of the annular ring to the length of the outer ring diameter is 1:2.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the center line of the screw hole 2 is parallel to the center line of the annular body 1.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the screw holes 2 are symmetrically distributed on the annular wall of the body 1, and the number of screw holes 2 is 2-6.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the number of screw holes 2 is 2.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the line connecting the centers of the two screw holes 2 intersects the center line of the body 1 at the axis of the ring.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the ratio of the diameter of the screw hole 2 to the wall thickness of the annular wall of the body 1 is 1:1.5-2.5. More preferably, the ratio of the diameter of the screw hole 2 to the wall thickness of the annular wall of the body 1 is 1:2.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the grooves A3 are symmetrically distributed on the annular wall; the slots B4 are symmetrically distributed on the annular wall.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, there are two grooves A3 and two slots B4.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment, each groove A3 is provided with a screw hole 2; the screw hole 2 is located on the bottom surface of the groove A3 and is located at the center of the groove A3.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the depth of the groove A3 is the same as the depth of the slot B4, and the ratio of the depth of the groove A3 to the height of the annular wall of the body 1 is 1:3-5. More preferably, the ratio of the depth of the groove A3 to the height of the annular wall of the body 1 is 1:5.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the center line connecting the two slots B4 is perpendicular to the center line connecting the two grooves A3, and intersects on the annular axis of the annular structure body 1.
[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the body 1 has a continuous thread inside, and the screw hole 2 has a continuous thread inside.
[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the spacing between the threads inside the body 1 is equal to the width of the threads.
[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the thread inside the body 1 is a wedge-shaped thread, wherein the inwardly inclined surface of the wedge forms an angle of 30-60° with the thread axis, and more preferably, the inwardly inclined surface of the wedge forms an angle of 30° with the thread axis.

[0022] During the experiment, the applicant discovered that the nut involved in this invention has two different shaped grooves, and all the grooves are distributed at the four corners on the annular wall. In addition, a screw hole is added in groove A. Both the screw hole and the inside of the nut are designed with continuous threads. During use, the groove can fit tightly with the reinforcement, preventing the nut from loosening. The presence of the screw hole can match the screw rod, further increasing the stability of the nut.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the polymer resin is a blend of epoxy resin and acrylic resin.
[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the epoxy equivalent of the epoxy resin is 180-220 g / mol. More preferably, the epoxy equivalent of the epoxy resin is 180-190 g / mol.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the epoxy resin has a viscosity of 8000-10000 mPa·s at 25°C.
[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the epoxy resin is bisphenol A epoxy resin, purchased from Hubei Xinrunde Chemical Co., Ltd., with the brand name CYD-127.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the acrylic resin is selected from liquid thermosetting acrylic resins; more preferably, the liquid thermosetting acrylic resin has a viscosity of 20-200 mPa·s at 23°C.
[0032] In this application, the acrylic resin was purchased from BASF and is of the following type: 6312.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the weight ratio of the epoxy resin to the acrylic resin is 1:0.1-0.5. More preferably, the weight ratio of the epoxy resin to the acrylic resin is 1:0.3.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the organosilicon polymer material is selected from at least one of polyether-modified polysiloxane, fluorinated polysiloxane, epoxy-modified polysiloxane, amino-modified polysiloxane, phenyl-modified polysiloxane, and acrylic acid-modified polysiloxane.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the acrylic-modified polysiloxane is a polysiloxane with acrylate end groups. In this application, the acrylic-modified polysiloxane was purchased from Ayota Silicone Oil Co., Ltd., model number IOTA2205.
[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the organosilicon polymer material is a fluorinated polysiloxane.
[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the fluorinated polysiloxane has a hydroxyl value of 40-60 mg KOH / g and is purchased from Guangzhou Kanglunxi Chemical Technology Co., Ltd., model KX-501A.
[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the organosilicon polymer material is a combination of acrylic acid-modified polysiloxane and fluorinated polysiloxane, wherein the weight ratio of the acrylic acid-modified polysiloxane to the fluorinated polysiloxane is 8-15:1.
[0040] More preferably, the weight ratio of the acrylic acid-modified polysiloxane to the fluorinated polysiloxane is 10:1.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the inorganic non-metallic powder is aluminum nitride. More preferably, the aluminum nitride has a specific surface area of 42.0 m². 2 / g.
[0045] During the experiment, the applicant discovered that the coating prepared in this application, when applied to the surface of the nut described in this application, can improve the nut's waterproof ability, enhance its UV resistance, and extend its service life. The applicant speculates that this may be because using a 1:0.3 weight ratio of epoxy resin and acrylic resin as the coating matrix improves the adhesion between the coating and the nut surface. However, since the nuts used in this application are mainly used for external connection and fixing of trains and high-speed vehicles, their own temperature will continuously rise under long-term sunlight exposure, leading to easy aging of the coating on the nut surface. The applicant found that adding aluminum nitride to the coating raw materials can quickly dissipate heat, reduce ultraviolet radiation, slow down the aging rate of the coating, and reduce nut corrosion caused by coating aging, cracking, and peeling.
[0046] However, aluminum nitride has poor compatibility with polymer resins and tends to aggregate and settle in the system described in this application. The applicant discovered that adding acrylic-modified polysiloxanes and fluorinated polysiloxanes not only improves compatibility and dispersion but also imparts waterproof and anti-fouling properties to the coating. The applicant speculates that the possible reason is that introducing polysiloxane segments into the epoxy and acrylic resin crosslinking system not only improves the coating's high-temperature resistance but also promotes the migration of fluorine atoms from the polysiloxanes to the coating surface, reducing the surface energy of the coating and improving its waterproof and anti-fouling capabilities.
[0047] In a preferred embodiment, the functional additive includes at least one of an anti-ultraviolet agent, an antifoaming agent, a leveling agent, a dispersant, and a curing agent.
[0048] In a preferred embodiment, the functional additive is a curing agent, preferably a combination of an amine curing agent and a catalyst.
[0049] In a preferred embodiment, the amine curing agent is triethylenetetramine, and the catalyst is tin isooctanoate.
[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the weight ratio of triethylenetetramine to tin isooctanoate in the curing agent is 5.5:0.8.
[0051] In a preferred embodiment, the raw materials of the coating, by weight, include 90 parts of polymer resin, 12 parts of organosilicon polymer material, 15 parts of inorganic powder, and 22 parts of functional additives.
[0052] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0053] 1. The annular nut of the present invention has centrally symmetrical grooves and recesses designed on the annular wall of the nut, which allows the nut to fit tightly with the reinforcement. In addition, a threaded hole penetrating the annular wall is designed inside the groove for matching the screw, which improves the stability of the nut and avoids the thread wear and loosening of the nut due to continuous vibration when the nut is used in transportation vehicles such as trains and high-speed trains. This improves the structural stability and safety and reduces the number of maintenance times.
[0054] 2. The annular nut of this invention has a coating layer applied to the outer side of its annular wall. Epoxy resin and acrylic resin are used as the coating matrix, improving the adhesion between the coating and the nut surface. The addition of aluminum nitride, fluorinated polysiloxane, and epoxy-modified polysiloxane not only improves the compatibility of the raw materials in the coating, reduces ultraviolet radiation, slows down the coating aging rate, and reduces corrosion of the nut caused by coating aging cracking and peeling, but also imparts waterproof and anti-fouling properties to the coating, improving the waterproof and anti-fouling capabilities of the nut's outer layer and reducing the nut's erosion by rainwater and corrosive substances in the environment. This makes the nut of this invention more suitable for external connection and fixing in high-speed rail and trains. Attached Figure Description
