Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fasteners, in particular to a spring clamping type fastening assembly and a spring fastening method. BACKGROUND

[0002] A general term for a kind of mechanical parts used when two or more components are fastened and connected into a whole is fastener. Fasteners are widely used, and the most common fastener is fastened using threads, which ensures the required clamping force of the connected parts by controlling the fastening axial force (clamping force) of the threads. This fastening method will lose clamping force and cause fastening failure after a long period of installation, or due to vibration, temperature change, etc. At the same time, when fastening with threads, a tightening tool is required, and the actual tightening torque (clamping force) will vary within a certain range according to the accuracy of the tightening tool. For larger tightening torque and critical positions, a higher cost and higher accuracy tightening tool is usually used for tightening.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to solve the problem of easy loosening and failure of existing fasteners during use, and to maximize the conversion of the force applied by the fastener into clamping force. SUMMARY

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0016] Further, the diameter of the second mounting hole is the same as the diameter of the first rod body, and the second mounting hole is provided with a key groove with the same shape as the boss.

[0017] The height of the key groove is smaller than the depth of the second mounting hole, the bottom of the key groove is provided with a ring groove along the inner wall of the second mounting hole, one end of the ring groove is provided with an upward key groove, and the key groove has the same shape as the boss.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present application are as follows:

[0032] The application provides a fastener which is reliable, not easy to loosen and fail, and precise in clamping force, and does not need to use high-cost tools for installation, and has wide application range. When the fastener is installed on a connected part, the elastic force generated by spring compression is converted into clamping force on the connected part. By selecting springs of different specifications and controlling the spring compression amount, different clamping forces on the connected part can be achieved. The elastic force generated by spring compression can be accurately controlled, so that the clamping force on the connected part can be accurately controlled.

[0033] When a threaded fastener (including a bolt) is tightened, the tightening torque mainly overcomes the friction force of the threaded pair and the abutting end face, and only about 10% of the tightening torque is actually converted into clamping force. However, in the present application, the elastic force generated by spring compression can be fully converted into clamping force on the connected part after the fastener is installed in place.

[0034] During the use of a threaded fastener, failure may occur due to vibration, deformation of the connected part, etc., and the connected part must be fastened again by manually applying external force after failure. However, in the present application, the clamping force will not disappear under various conditions such as vibration, temperature change, deformation of the connected part, etc., as long as the fastener body parts are not broken and the spring is not failed (the elastic force disappears after spring compression). The breakage of the fastener and the failure of the spring can be effectively avoided by material selection, structure design, heat treatment, surface treatment, etc. of the fastener parts and the spring. After the fastener is installed on the connected part, it can be removed only by a specific step to stop fastening the connected part, and the random vibration of the connected part cannot cause the fastener body to loosen.

[0035] After a threaded fastener is tightened, it is subjected to various forces such as clamping force and radial shear force, and is easily broken by additional impact force. However, in the present application, the fastener is only subjected to axial clamping force after being installed on the connected part, and can withstand greater radial impact force and other additional external forces.

Furthermore, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0069] Example 1:

[0070] like Figure 1 The elastic clamping fastening assembly shown includes a first connected member 1, a second connected member 2, and as shown in the figure. Figure 2 The fastener body 3 shown is used to fasten the first connected component 1 and the second connected component 2. The fastener body 3 includes four rods (31, 32, 33, 34), a spring 37, an upper stop block 35, and a lower stop block 36. The first rods 31 to 34 are connected coaxially end-to-end in sequence. The spring 37, upper stop block 35, and lower stop block 36 are all mounted on the rods. The spring 37 passes through the fastener rod and is installed between the upper stop block 35 and the lower stop block 36. The two end faces of the spring 37 contact the end faces of the upper stop block 35 and the lower stop block 36, respectively, and the spring is limited by the upper stop block 35 and the lower stop block 36. When assembled and not subjected to any other additional external force, the spring 37 is in a compressed state.

[0071] For example Figures 3-7As shown, the outer wall of the rod bodies 31-34 is smooth without thread, the cross-sectional shapes of the four rod bodies are different, and the four rod bodies are integrally formed and have synchronous movement state. Among them, the cross section of the first rod body 31 is circular; the cross section of the second rod body 32 is a playground type composed of a rectangle and two arcs arranged on two opposite sides of the rectangle, specifically, the two arcs have the same center and the same radius, are symmetrical along the axis, and the two straight lines are parallel and equal along the axis; the cross section of the third rod body 33 is a square with rounded corners; and the cross section of the fourth rod body 34 is circular. The radius of the arc of the second rod body 32 is smaller than the radius of the first rod body 31, the distance between the two straight lines of the second rod body 32 is equal to the distance between two opposite sides of the square of the third rod body 33, and the distance between two opposite sides of the square of the third rod body 33 is equal to the diameter of the fourth rod body 34. The rod bodies are an integral whole, only the cross sections of the rod bodies are different, in order to more clearly describe the scheme and principle, the rod bodies are divided into several parts according to the different cross-sectional shapes of the rod bodies, which does not mean that the rod bodies are spliced by multiple segments.

[0072] Further as shown in the drawings Figure 8 and 9 As shown, the upper stop block 35 is a circular stop block sleeved on the rod body and is movable, and a through hole is formed in the upper stop block 35, and the shape of the through hole is exactly the same as the cross-sectional shape of the second rod body 32.

[0073] One side of the upper stop block 35 is provided with a boss 351, and the size of the boss 351 is the same as the size of the first key groove 111 of the first mounting hole 11 and the size of the second key groove 211 and the third key groove 213 of the second mounting hole 21. After the upper stop block 35 is installed on the rod body, when the cross section of the second rod body 32 coincides with the through hole of the upper stop block 35, the upper stop block 35 can move on the second rod body 32 along the axis direction of the rod body. When the symmetrical side of the through hole of the upper stop block 35 is attached to the symmetrical side of the third rod body 33, the upper stop block 35 cannot rotate alone along the axis of the rod body on the third rod body 33.

[0074] Further as shown in the drawings Figure 10 and 11 As shown, the lower stop block 36 is a circular stop block installed on and fixedly connected with the fourth rod body 34, and the two do not have relative displacement. The inner hole diameter of the lower stop block 36 is the same as the diameter of the fourth rod body 34, the outer diameter of the lower stop block 36 is the same as the diameter of the second mounting hole 21 of the second connected member 2, and the lower stop block 36 has a recess 361, and when the fastener is assembled, one end of the spring 37 extends into the recess 361 of the lower stop block 36, which can limit and guide the spring 37.

[0075] Further as shown in the drawings Figure 12 and 13As shown, the first connected component 1 has a first mounting hole 11 for mounting the fastener body 3. The diameter of the first mounting hole 11 is the same as the diameter of the first rod 31 of the fastener body. The first mounting hole 11 has a through first keyway 111. The shape and dimensions of the first keyway 111 are the same as the shape and dimensions of the boss 351 of the upper stop block 35. For example... Figure 14 and 15 As shown, the second connected member 2 has a second mounting hole 21 with the same diameter as the first rod 31. The second mounting hole 21 also has a second keyway 211 with the same size as the boss 351 of the upper stop block 35. The height of the second keyway 211 is less than the height of the second mounting hole 21. A certain length of annular groove 212 is formed at the bottom of the second keyway 211 along the inner wall of the second mounting hole 21. A third keyway 213 with an upward orientation is formed at the end of the annular groove 212. The shape and length and width of the third keyway 213 are the same as the shape and length and width of the boss 351 of the upper stop block 35. The height of the annular groove 212 is greater than the height of the boss 351 of the upper stop block 35 (the boss 351 of the upper stop block 35 can move within the annular groove 212).

[0076] Of course, two or more connected parts can be used to further enhance the connection tightness.

[0077] Example 2:

[0078] A spring-loaded fastening method, including a spring-loaded clamping fastening assembly as described in Example 1, comprises the following steps:

[0079] S1. When the first connected component 1 and the second connected component 2 need to be fastened, the first connected component 1 should be positioned above the second connected component 2. The fastener body 3 needs to be assembled before fastening the first connected component 1 and the second connected component 2.

[0080] The assembly steps for fastener body 3 are as follows:

[0081] 1. For example Figures 16-18 As shown, the upper stop block 35 is inserted from one end of the fourth rod 34 until its upper surface contacts the lower surface of the second rod 32. The cross-section of the third rod 33 coincides with the through hole of the upper stop block 35, while the cross-section of the second rod 32 does not match the through hole of the upper stop block 35. Therefore, the upper stop block 35 cannot pass the second rod 32 after passing the third rod 33. At this point, the lower surface of the second rod 32 is in contact with the upper surface of the upper stop block 35, blocking it from moving further towards the rod flange face.

[0082] 2. Insert the spring 37 into the rod body, with the upper end of the spring 37 attached to the lower plane of the upper stop block 35.

[0083] 3. The lower block 36 is installed in the rod body, the lower block 36 is fixed on the fourth rod body 34 and close to the bottom end of the fourth rod body 34, the lower block 36 and the fourth rod body 34 can be fixed and connected by welding, installing a snap ring, installing a check ring and the like. At this time, the lower end of the spring 37 is attached to the groove 361 of the lower block 36, the spring 37 is limited between the upper block 35 and the lower block 36, and since the distance between the upper block 35 and the lower block 36 is less than the length of the spring 37 without external force, the spring 37 is in a compressed state at this time.

[0084] The elastic force generated by the compression of the spring 37 acts upward on the upper block 35, forming an upward jacking force F1 on the upper block 35. The elastic force generated by the compression of the spring 37 acts downward on the lower block 36, forming a downward pressure F2 on the lower block 36, the lower block 36 and the fourth rod body 34 are fixedly connected, and the downward pressure F2 is simultaneously transmitted to the rod body.

[0085] S2. After the fastener body 3 is assembled, the first mounting hole 11 of the first connected piece 1 and the second mounting hole 21 of the second connected piece 2 are aligned, the first key groove 111 is aligned with the second key groove 211, and then the fastener body 3 is installed on the first connected piece 1 and the second connected piece 2.

[0086] S3. The fastener body 3 is placed into the first mounting hole 11 and the second mounting hole 21, the boss of the upper block 35 extends into the first key groove 111 of the first mounting hole 11 and the second key groove 211 of the second mounting hole 21, until the boss 351 of the upper block 35 of the fastener contacts the bottom of the second key groove 211 of the second mounting hole 21, and the upper block 35 cannot continue to move downward. At this time, the cross section of the second rod body 32 does not match the through hole of the upper block 35, and the rod body is blocked by the upper block 35 and cannot continue to move downward. At this time, the flange surface of the rod body is still a certain distance away from the surface of the first connected piece 1.

[0087] At this time, the upper surface of the upper block 35 is attached to the bottom surface of the second rod body 32, the through hole of the upper block 35 extends into the third rod body 33, and the two symmetrical planes of the third rod body 33 are attached to the symmetrical parallel planes of the through hole of the upper block 35. When the rod body rotates, the third rod body 33 will drive the upper block 35 to rotate at the same time.

[0088] S4. A rotating external force is applied to the fastener body 3, the third rod body 33 of the fastener drives the upper block 35 to rotate at the same time, the boss 351 of the upper block 35 rotates in the ring groove 212 of the second mounting hole 21, and the rotating external force is stopped after the boss 351 of the upper block 35 rotates to the end of the ring groove 212. At this time, the boss 351 of the upper block 35 cannot continue to rotate, the upper block 35 also cannot continue to rotate, and the third rod body 33 and the entire rod body also cannot continue to rotate.

[0089] As Figure 19As shown, the upward external force is applied to the fastener body 3, the rod body moves upward as a whole, the upper stopper 35 also moves upward under the upward lifting force F1 formed by the elastic force of the compression spring 37, the boss 351 of the upper stopper 35 enters the third key groove 213 at the end of the ring groove 212, and the boss 351 of the upper stopper 35 moves upward until the upper surface of the boss 351 is in contact with the top of the third key groove 213, so that the boss 351 cannot continue to move upward, and the upper stopper 35 also cannot continue to move upward, but the rod body can continue to move upward.

[0090] S5. The upward external force is continuously applied to the rod body, and the rod body continues to move upward as a whole until the third rod body 33 is no longer at the same height as the upper stopper 35, and the upward lifting force F1 formed by the elastic force of the compression spring 37 is transmitted to the second connected member 2 through the upper stopper 35 after the through hole of the upper stopper 35 is in the region of the fourth rod body 34, thereby forming upward lifting of the second connected member 2. The boss of the upper stopper 35 moves upward to the top of the key groove 213 of the second mounting hole, and the upper stopper 35 cannot continue to move upward.

[0091] S6. The upward movement of the rod body is stopped, and the through hole of the upper stopper 35 is in contact with the fourth rod body 34 at this time. Since the cross section of the fourth rod body 34 is circular, and the diameter of the fourth rod body 34 is equal to the distance between the two parallel surfaces of the through hole of the upper stopper 35, the fourth rod body 34 will not rotate when it rotates (at the same time, the boss 351 of the upper stopper 35 is in the third key groove 213, which limits the rotational movement of the upper stopper 35). A rotating external force is applied to the rod body to rotate the rod body as a whole until the cross section of the second rod body 32 coincides with the through hole of the upper stopper 35 (during the rotation of the rod body, the position of the upper stopper 35 does not change).

[0092] S7. The external force applied to the rod body is stopped, and the rod body moves downward as a whole under the downward pressure F2 formed by the spring 37, until the flange surface of the rod body contacts the surface of the first connected member 1 (the outer diameter of the flange surface of the rod body is larger than the diameter of the first mounting hole 11, so the flange surface of the rod body cannot enter the first mounting hole 11), and the rod body as a whole cannot continue to move downward. At this time, the spring 37 is still in a compressed state, and the downward pressure F2 formed by the elastic force of the spring 37 acts on the lower stopper 36 and is transmitted to the rod body, and then is transmitted to the first connected member 1 through the flange surface of the fastener body 3.

[0093] At this time, the installation of the fastening assembly is completed, and the fastener body 3 is installed on the connected members as Figure 19As shown, after the fastener body 3 is installed, the upper block 35 through hole is in the second rod body 32 area, the upper block 35 boss 351 is in the third key groove 213, the spring 37 compression generates the upward lifting force F1 acting on the upper block 35, which is transmitted to the second connected component 2 through the upper block 35, forming the upward lifting of the second connected component 2; the spring 37 compression generates the downward pressure F2 acting on the lower block 36, which is transmitted to the rod body and the fastener flange surface, and then the downward pressure F2 is transmitted to the first connected component 1 through the fastener body 3 flange surface, forming the downward pressure on the first connected component 1. Through the downward pressure F2 on the first connected component 1 and the upward lifting force F1 on the second connected component 2, the purpose of fastening the first connected component 1 and the second connected component 2 is achieved. At the same time, the first rod body 31 diameter is the same as the first installation hole 11 diameter of the first connected component 1, which can prevent the first connected component 1 from moving along the radial direction of the first installation hole 11 after fastening. If the length of the first rod body 31 is greater than the height of the first installation hole 11 of the first connected component 1, the first rod body 31 partially extends into the second installation hole 21 of the second connected component 2, and the diameter of the first rod body 31 is also the same as the diameter of the second installation hole 21 of the second connected component 2, which can also prevent the second connected component 2 from moving along the radial direction of the second installation hole 21 after fastening. If the length of the first rod body 31 is less than the height of the first installation hole 11 of the first connected component 1, the first rod body 31 does not extend into the second installation hole 21 of the second connected component 2, and at this time the outer diameter of the lower block 36 is the same as the diameter of the second installation hole 21 of the second connected component 2, which can prevent the second connected component 2 from moving along the radial direction of the second installation hole 21 after fastening through the lower block 36. If multiple fastener bodies 3 simultaneously fasten the first connected component 1 and the second connected component 2, it has better effect on preventing the first connected component 1 and the second connected component 2 from moving along the radial direction of the installation hole.

[0094] If the fastener body 3 installed on the connected component needs to be removed, the steps are as follows:

[0095] 1. Apply upward force to the rod body to move the rod body upward as a whole until the through hole of the upper block 35 is in the fourth rod body 34 area.

[0096] 2. Apply a rotating force to the rod body to rotate the rod body as a whole until the through hole of the upper block 35 does not coincide with the second rod body 32 cross section, and the third rod body 33 cross section is in the through hole of the upper block 35.

[0097] 3. Stop applying external force to the rod body, and under the action of the compression spring 37, the rod body moves downward as a whole until the lower surface of the second rod body 32 is in contact with the upper surface of the upper block 35. At this time, the boss 351 of the upper block 35 is still in the third key groove 213 of the second connected component 2 and cannot rotate.

[0098] 4、When the second rod body 32 lower surface is attached to the upper surface of the upper stop block 35, downward force is applied to the rod body, and the rod body as a whole moves downward. At this time, the second rod body 32 drives the upper stop block 35 to move downward at the same time, until the lower surface of the boss 351 of the upper stop block 35 is attached to the lower surface of the ring groove 212 of the second connected component 2. The upper stop block 35 cannot continue to move downward, and the rod body as a whole cannot continue to move downward, so the downward force applied to the rod body is stopped.

[0099] 5、At this time, the through hole of the upper stop block 35 is in the third rod body 33 area, and the symmetrical parallel side surface of the third rod body 33 is attached to the symmetrical plane side surface of the through hole of the upper stop block 35, so that the rod body can drive the upper stop block 35 to rotate. The rod body is driven by the upper stop block 35 to rotate at the same time, until the boss 351 of the upper stop block 35 rotates to the second key groove 211 of the second connected component 2. The upper stop block 35 and the rod body as a whole cannot continue to rotate, so the rotation of the external force is stopped.

[0100] 6、The rod body is applied with upward external force, the boss 351 of the upper stop block 35 is in the second key groove 211 of the second connected component 2, and the upper stop block 35 and the rod body as a whole can move upward until the fastener body 3 is completely taken out.

[0101] In this embodiment, only one kind of elastic clamping type fastening assembly and its assembly and installation method are listed. According to the structure, size, required clamping force and other needs of the connected component, the structure and assembly and installation method of the fastener body 3 can be changed. For example, when the connected component with a small installation hole height and a through hole is fastened, the total length of the fastener body 3 needs to be shortened as much as possible, and the structure shown in the figure can be used, and the assembly and installation method is similar to the above, which will not be described.
