Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of fasteners, in particular to an inner collar clamping type lock nut. BACKGROUND

[0002] Common fasteners include bolt-nut assemblies, stud-nut assemblies, screws, studs, etc. Among them, the nut is a polygonal column with a central threaded hole, and an inner thread is arranged on the inner ring wall of the central threaded hole. The inner thread is matched with the outer thread on the stud to be screwed tightly. The stud is a screw rod with a bolt head, and an outer thread is arranged on the screw rod for fastening and connecting two or more fastened parts with through holes.

[0003] After the nut is screwed on the screw rod, the fastening of the nut and the bolt is generally stable. However, if the fastened parts are in vibration for a long time, the vibration frequency difference between the connecting parts will exist, which will cause the connecting structure to have a reverse loosening tendency between the connecting parts, resulting in loosening or even falling off of the connection between the nut and the stud. Therefore, nylon lock nuts are widely used in current applications to avoid reverse loosening.

[0004] The existing nylon lock nut includes a nut body, an annular groove wall, a nylon sleeve ring, and a ring disc top wall. The nut body is provided with an inner threaded hole at the center. The annular groove wall and the ring disc top wall are respectively arranged at one end of the nut body and are integrally formed with the nut body. The nylon sleeve ring is arranged in the annular groove wall. Since nylon is relatively soft, the nylon sleeve ring in the annular groove wall is not easy to be compressed tightly, and even easy to produce rotation. The nylon sleeve ring is easy to be brittle and damaged after being used for a period of time, which reduces or even eliminates the locking function of the nylon lock nut, and the loosening and falling off phenomenon is easy to occur. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application aims to solve the above-mentioned defects by providing an inner collar clamping type lock nut, which is clamped tightly with each other and cannot be loosened, thereby improving the anti-loosening effect of the lock nut and prolonging the service life.

An upper groove along for accommodating the lower part of the lower collar, i.e. the inner collar, is arranged on the upper part to the upper end surface of the inner ring wall of the lower nut body. A lower groove along for accommodating the upper part of the upper collar, i.e. the inner collar, is arranged on the lower part to the lower end surface of the inner ring wall of the upper nut body. The upper groove along on the lower nut and the lower groove along on the upper nut are different from each other, and the specific arrangements are as follows.

[0008] The upper groove in the lower nut comprises a ring bottom wall and an upper groove ring side wall, and the upper groove ring side wall is provided with an anti-rotation clamping groove for preventing the inner ring from rotating.

[0009] The lower groove in the upper nut comprises a ring top wall and a lower groove ring side wall, and the lower groove ring side wall is a conical frustum ring side wall, wherein the inner diameter at the position of the ring top wall is smaller than the inner diameter at the position of the lower end surface.

[0011] In this paper, slightly larger means 0.1%-10% larger than the target, and slightly smaller means 0.1%-10% smaller than the target.

[0012] In this paper, the outer diameter or inner diameter of the inner ring or the upper ring or the lower ring refers to the outer diameter or inner diameter of the notched ring made of elastic steel in the natural state without being compressed.

When the inner wall surface of the ring-lacking clamping ring is a smooth surface, the inner diameter of the ring-lacking clamping ring is equal to or slightly larger than the root diameter of the internal thread of the upper nut in the natural anti-loosening state, so that the ring-lacking clamping ring can freely pass through the fastened screw in the natural anti-loosening state. The second is a smooth surface with vertical clamping strips. When the inner wall surface of the ring-lacking clamping ring is a smooth surface with vertical clamping strips, the inner diameter of the ring-lacking clamping ring is equal to or slightly larger than the root diameter of the upper nut in the natural anti-loosening state, so that the ring-lacking clamping ring can be screwed into and fastened on the screw in the natural anti-loosening state.

[0017] Further, the upper groove ring side wall of the upper groove of the lower nut is provided with a retreat-preventing groove position, the groove wall on one side of the tightening direction is an inclined groove wall, and the groove wall on one side of the loosening direction is a vertical groove wall; the lower groove ring side wall of the upper nut is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed retreat-preventing clamping grooves, the groove wall on one side of the tightening direction is an inclined groove wall, and the groove wall on one side of the loosening direction is a vertical groove wall; the outwardly inclined end head of the missing end head on one side of the tightening direction of the ring missing clamping ring is outwardly inclined to form an outwardly inclined end head; in use, first, the lower clamping ring of the ring missing clamping ring is placed in the upper groove of the lower nut, the anti-rotation clamping convex is inserted into the anti-rotation clamping groove, and the outwardly inclined end head on one side of the lower clamping ring is placed in the retreat-preventing groove position, then the upper groove of the lower nut is rotated in the direction opposite to the screw rod, the lower nut is tightened on the screw rod together with the ring missing clamping ring, the lower groove of the upper nut is rotated in the direction of the screw rod, the upper nut is tightened on the screw rod, and the upper clamping ring of the ring missing clamping ring is tightly clamped in the lower groove; in this process, because the inner diameter of the lower groove is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the upper clamping ring, the lower groove will gradually tighten the ring missing clamping ring, so that the ring missing clamping ring is tightened and tightly clamped on the screw rod, and the outwardly inclined end head of the ring missing clamping ring is clamped in one of the plurality of retreat-preventing clamping grooves, so that the upper nut cannot be rotated in the opposite direction, and the upper and lower nuts cannot be loosened as a whole.

[0018] Further, the upper groove ring side wall of the upper groove of the lower nut is provided with a retreat-preventing groove position, the groove wall on one side of the tightening direction is an inclined groove wall, and the groove wall on one side of the loosening direction is a vertical groove wall; the lower groove ring side wall of the upper nut is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed retreat-preventing clamping grooves, the groove wall on one side of the tightening direction is an inclined groove wall, and the groove wall on one side of the loosening direction is a vertical groove wall; the outwardly inclined end head of the missing end head on one side of the tightening direction of the ring missing clamping ring is outwardly inclined to form an outwardly inclined end head; in use, first, the lower clamping ring of the ring missing clamping ring is placed in the upper groove of the lower nut, the anti-rotation clamping convex is inserted into the anti-rotation clamping groove, and the outwardly inclined end head on one side of the lower clamping ring is placed in the retreat-preventing groove position, then the upper groove of the lower nut is rotated in the direction opposite to the screw rod, the lower nut is tightened on the screw rod together with the ring missing clamping ring, the lower groove of the upper nut is rotated in the direction of the screw rod, the upper nut is tightened on the screw rod, and the upper clamping ring of the ring missing clamping ring is tightly clamped in the lower groove; in this process, because the inner diameter of the lower groove is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the upper clamping ring, the lower groove will gradually tighten the ring missing clamping ring, so that the ring missing clamping ring is tightened and tightly clamped on the screw rod, and the outwardly inclined end head of the ring missing clamping ring is clamped in one of the plurality of retreat-preventing clamping grooves, so that the upper nut cannot be rotated in the opposite direction, and the upper and lower nuts cannot be loosened as a whole.

[0019] ①: Use two wrenches or other tools to clamp the upper nut and the lower nut respectively.

[0020] ②: Keep the lower nut stable, and slightly twist the upper nut in the loosening direction with force, so that the pressure surface can press the outwardly inclined end head, and the outwardly inclined end head can be separated from the retreat-preventing groove position and the retreat-preventing clamping groove.

[0021] ③: Then twist the two wrenches to the loosening direction slightly, and twist the nut as a whole in the reverse direction to loosen it.

[0043] The lower groove along 5 comprises a ring top wall 9 and a lower groove ring side wall 10, which is a conical frustum ring side wall, the inner diameter of which at the position of the ring top wall is smaller than the inner diameter at the position of the lower end surface.

[0044] The inner ring 3 is a ring with a notch 11 made of elastic steel material, which is divided into a lower ring 12 and an upper ring 13 connected directly, the inner ring wall of the lower ring 12 and the upper ring 13 is of a uniform structure, the inner diameter of which is equal to or slightly larger than the bottom diameter of the lower nut 1 or the upper nut 2, and the inner ring can freely pass through the fastened screw when it is in a natural anti-loose state; the outer ring wall of the lower ring 12 and the upper ring 13 has different structures, wherein the outer ring wall of the lower ring 12 directly generates an anti-rotation lug 14, which can be arranged at any position of the outer ring wall of the lower ring 12, and in the embodiment, it is arranged at the position opposite to the notch 11, the length of the lower ring 12 is equal to the depth of the upper groove along 4 on the lower nut 1, and the outer shape of the lower ring 12 is cylindrical, when the outer shape of the lower ring 12 is cylindrical, the upper groove along 4 on the lower nut 1 also has a cylindrical upper groove ring side wall 7, the inner diameter of which is equal to the outer diameter of the lower ring, that is, the inner diameter of the cylindrical upper groove ring side wall 7 of the upper groove along 4 on the lower nut is equal to the outer diameter of the lower ring 12, so that the lower ring 12 can be stably inserted into the upper groove along 4 on the lower nut 1; the length of the upper ring 13 is equal to the depth of the lower groove along 5 on the upper nut 2, and the outer shape of the upper ring 13 is conical frustum, the lower end outer diameter of the upper ring 13 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the lower groove ring side wall 10 of the lower groove along 5 on the lower nut 2 at the position of the lower end surface, the upper end outer diameter of the upper ring 13 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the lower groove ring side wall 10 of the lower groove along 5 on the lower nut 2 at the position of the ring top wall 9, and the conical inclination of the conical frustum of the upper ring 13 is equal to the conical inclination of the conical lower groove ring side wall 10 in the lower groove along 5 on the upper nut 2.

[0045] In the above, the minimum width of the notch 11 on the inner ring 3 is at least capable of making the inner diameter of the notch-free circular ring formed by folding the notch 11 on the inner ring 3 smaller than the top diameter of the internal thread of the lower nut 1 or the upper nut 2, so that the inner ring 3 can tightly hold the screw after being clamped by the upper nut 2.

[0046] In the above, the inner wall surface of the inner collar 3 can be provided with four different structures, one of which is a smooth surface. When the inner wall surface of the inner collar 3 is a smooth surface, in the natural anti-loosening state, the inner diameter of the inner collar 3 is equal to or slightly larger than the root diameter of the upper nut 2, so that the inner collar 3 can freely pass through the fastened screw in the natural anti-loosening state. The second structure is a smooth surface with vertical clamping strips. When the inner wall surface of the inner collar 3 is a smooth surface with vertical clamping strips, in the natural anti-loosening state, the inner circle formed by the top ends of the vertical clamping strips is equal to or slightly larger than the root diameter of the upper nut 2, so that the inner collar 3 is screwed into and fastened on the screw in the natural anti-loosening state. The third structure is an inner threaded surface. When the inner wall surface of the inner collar 3 is an inner threaded surface, in the natural anti-loosening state, the inner thread specification of the inner collar 3 is the same as that of the upper nut 2, so that the inner collar 3 is screwed into and fastened on the screw in the natural anti-loosening state. The fourth structure is an inner threaded surface provided with vertical grooves 21. When the inner wall surface of the inner collar 3 is an inner threaded surface provided with vertical grooves, in the natural anti-loosening state, the inner thread specification of the inner collar 3 is the same as that of the upper nut 2, so that the inner collar 3 is screwed into and fastened on the screw in the natural anti-loosening state.

[0047] In use, first, the lower collar 12 of the inner collar 3 is placed in the upper groove guide 4 of the lower nut 1, and the anti-rotation clamping protrusion 14 is inserted into the anti-rotation clamping groove 8, then the upper groove guide 4 of the lower nut 1 is moved in the direction opposite to the screw, and the lower nut 1 is screwed onto the screw together with the inner collar 3, then the lower groove guide 5 of the upper nut 2 is moved towards the inside of the screw, and the upper nut 2 is screwed onto the screw and the upper collar 13 of the inner collar 3 is tightly clamped in the lower groove guide 5. In this process, since the inner diameter of the lower groove guide 5 is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the upper collar 13, the lower groove guide 5 gradually tightens the inner collar 3, so that the inner collar 3 is tightly clamped on the screw, and the nut cannot be loosened as a whole.

[0048] Example 2.

[0049] Further, as Figure 5 , 6, 7, on the basis of example 1, the upper groove of the lower nut 1 is provided with a retreat-preventing groove position 15 on the upper groove ring side wall 7 of the upper groove 4, the groove wall on the side of the tightening direction is an inclined groove wall, and the groove wall on the side of the loosening direction is a vertical groove wall; the lower groove of the upper nut 1 is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed retreat-preventing clamping grooves 16 on the lower groove ring side wall 10 of the lower groove 5, the groove wall on the side of the tightening direction is an inclined groove wall, and the groove wall on the side of the loosening direction is a vertical groove wall; the end of the notch position on the side of the tightening direction of the inner clamping ring 3 is outwardly inclined to form an outwardly inclined end 17; in use, the lower clamping ring 12 of the inner clamping ring 3 is first placed in the upper groove 4 of the lower nut 1, the anti-rotation clamping protrusion 14 is inserted into the anti-rotation clamping groove 8, and the outwardly inclined end 17 on the side of the lower clamping ring is inserted into the retreat-preventing groove position 15, then the upper groove 4 on the lower nut 1 is rotated in the direction opposite to the screw, the lower nut 1 is tightened on the screw together with the inner clamping ring 3, the lower groove 5 on the upper nut 2 is rotated in the direction of the screw, the upper nut 2 is tightened on the screw, and the upper clamping ring 13 of the inner clamping ring 3 is tightly clamped in the lower groove 5, in this process, because the inner diameter of the lower groove 5 is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the upper clamping ring 13, the lower groove 5 will gradually tighten the inner clamping ring 3, so that the inner clamping ring 3 is tightened and tightly clamped on the screw, and the outwardly inclined end 17 on the inner clamping ring 3 is clamped into one of the plurality of retreat-preventing clamping grooves 16, so that the upper nut 2 cannot be rotated in the opposite direction, and the upper and lower nuts cannot be loosened as a whole.

[0050] Further, the upper groove ring side wall 7 of the upper groove 4 of the lower nut 1 is preferably provided with a slightly inwardly recessed locking groove 19 at a position close to the outer end face, and the outer ring wall of the lower clamping ring 12 is preferably provided with a slightly outwardly protruding locking ring 20 at a position close to the upper clamping ring 13, in use, the inner clamping ring 3 is slightly clamped to insert the lower clamping ring 12 into the upper groove 4 of the lower nut 1, and the locking ring 20 is clamped in the locking groove 19, so that the inner clamping ring 3 is not easy to be pulled out of the upper groove 4, this operation needs force, therefore the company completes this operation when the product is shipped; the locking groove 19 and the locking ring 20 can be interchanged on the upper groove ring side wall 7 and the lower clamping ring 12.

[0051] Further, the lower groove ring side wall 10 of the lower groove 5 on the upper nut 2 is provided with a round corner transition surface 21 at the corner position of the lower end face of the upper nut 2, the upper groove ring side wall 7 of the upper groove 4 of the lower nut 1 is provided with a round corner transition surface at the corner position of the upper end face of the lower nut 1, and the upper and lower end faces and the side faces of the inner clamping ring 3 are all provided with round corner transition surfaces 21, to facilitate installation.

[0052] Example 3.

[0053] Further, the convex surface between the two adjacent stop-retaining grooves 16 on the lower groove ring side wall 10 of the upper nut 2 is provided with a slightly inwardly concave and outwardly inclined pressing curved surface 18, and the outer bias end head 17 at the position of the upper retaining ring 13 is also provided with a slightly inwardly inclined bias angle outer bias end head 23. In this way, under the action of a large external force, the pressing curved surface 18 can make the outer bias end head 17 as a whole separate from the stop-retaining groove 15 on the lower nut 1 and the stop-retaining groove 16 on the upper nut 2 when it presses the bias angle outer bias end head 23. When it is necessary to unscrew the nut, only the following steps need to be followed to complete the operation.

[0054] ①: Two wrenches or other tools are used to clamp the upper nut 2 and the lower nut 1 respectively.

[0055] ②: The lower nut 1 is kept stable, and the upper nut 2 is slightly twisted in the loosening direction, so that the pressing curved surface 18 presses the bias angle outer bias end head 23, and the outer bias end head 17 as a whole separates from the stop-retaining groove 15 and the stop-retaining groove 16.

[0056] ③: Then twist the two wrenches in the loosening direction at the same time, and twist the nut as a whole in the reverse direction to unscrew it.

[0057] Since this unscrewing method requires two wrenches, the wrench clamping the upper nut 2 needs to be loosened first, and then the two wrenches clamping the upper nut 2 and the lower nut 1 are loosened at the same time to unscrew the nut. Therefore, it is not possible to unscrew the nut as a whole under natural vibration conditions.
