Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a locking nut and a processing method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Nuts are commonly used components in mechanical connections. However, under vibration conditions, ordinary nuts often loosen on their own, causing the connection to fail.
[0003] To solve the above technical problems, a Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN111649048B has been published. It is a kind of anti-loosening nut kit, which includes a nut, a base, a nut bevel, and a base bevel. During the installation process, the nut bevel and the base bevel are opposite and fit together. The two are screwed together with a tool, so that the nut bevel and the base bevel are squeezed against each other and deviate from the screw axis in the opposite direction, thereby holding the screw tightly and preventing it from loosening. However, the following defects exist:
[0004] 1. Improving the anti-loosening effect by only tightening the threads can extend the time it takes for the nut to loosen, but it still cannot completely prevent the nut from loosening;
[0005] 2. It is necessary to process slots, cross-sectional gaps, nut bevels, base bevels and grooves on the nut, which makes the processing difficult and the manufacturing cost high. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0071] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0072] The terms "first," "second," and the like in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or precedence. It should be understood that the terms used in this manner are interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of this application can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein, and that the objects distinguished by "first," "second," and the like are generally of the same type, and do not limit the number of objects; for example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, the term "and / or" in the specification and claims refers to at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects connected are in an "or" relationship.
[0073] The server provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through specific embodiments and application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0074] Example 1:
[0075] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a locking nut, including a main nut 101, which has an internal threaded hole 102 and an external threaded sleeve 103 fixedly installed on the top; a secondary nut 104, which is installed on the external threaded sleeve 103 through a thread; and a plurality of limiting rods 105, which can be movably inserted into the side wall of the external threaded sleeve 103 through corresponding sliding holes 106. When the secondary nut 104 approaches the main nut 101, pressure is applied to the outer end of each limiting rod 105.
[0076] Furthermore, it also includes a plurality of sliding holes 107, which are arranged on the secondary nut 104 at intervals along the circumferential direction, and the outer ends of each are sealed with steel balls; a plurality of sliding rods 108, which can be slidably installed in the corresponding sliding holes 107 through corresponding preload springs 109, and each preload spring 109 is respectively arranged between the corresponding steel ball and the sliding rod 108, and the inner end of each sliding rod 108 can be inserted into the corresponding sliding hole 106.
[0077] Furthermore, it includes a plurality of inclined grooves 110 , which are respectively arranged at the top of the outer end of each limiting rod 105 , and the inner end of each sliding rod 108 is inclined to be adapted to the corresponding inclined groove 110 .
[0078] In this embodiment of the present application, due to the adoption of the above-mentioned structure, during installation, a tool is used to clamp the main nut 101 and the auxiliary nut 104 at the same time, so that after the main nut 101 is tightened, the auxiliary nut 104 is clamped separately, and the auxiliary nut 104 is tightened. During this process, the auxiliary nut 104 descends outside the outer screw sleeve 103 and contacts the inclined groove 110 at the outer end of each limiting rod 105. During the descending process, each limiting rod 105 is pushed toward the direction of the internal thread, and each limiting rod 105 is tightened. The inner end of each rod 108 is inserted into the inner screw hole 102 and inserted into the thread that matches the inner screw hole 102, and is engaged with the thread. As the secondary nut 104 descends to the bottom surface and abuts the top surface of the main nut 101, the sliding holes 107 move to the corresponding positions of the sliding holes 106. Under the action of the preload spring 109, the outer ends of each sliding rod 108 are respectively inserted into the sliding grooves and fit into the inclined grooves 110. At this time, the lower part of the outer end of each limiting rod 105 is still abutting the inner ring of the secondary nut 104.
[0079] When the inner ends of the slide bars 108 are inserted into the corresponding sliding grooves, the corresponding preload springs 109 still exert sufficient thrust on the slide bars 108 to prevent the slide bars 108 from being affected by vibration and falling out of the corresponding sliding grooves.
[0080] Example 2:
[0081] like Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, in addition to the structural features of the aforementioned embodiments, a tapping device is also disclosed, including a machine table 201, which has an equipment cavity 202 inside and a tapping device 3 on one side; a rotating table 203, which is driven by a rotating actuator 204 and can be rotatably installed on the top surface of the machine table 201; a plurality of fixed toolings 4, which are installed on the rotating table 203 and are used to fix the main nut 101, and the tapping device 3 has a liftable tapping drill bit 301 and a tapping sleeve 302, which can correspond to two fixed toolings 4 respectively.
[0082] Furthermore, it also includes a slot 205, which is arranged on the side wall of the machine 201 and connected to the equipment cavity 202; a conveyor belt 206, one end of which is installed in the equipment cavity 202, and the other end passes through the slot 205 and extends out of the machine 201; a blanking port 207, which is arranged on the top surface of the machine 201, aligned with the conveyor belt 206, and away from the tapping equipment.
[0083] Furthermore, the tapping device 3 includes a vertical plate 303, which is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the machine platform 201 and has its top extending upward; a horizontal plate 304, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the vertical plate 303 and extends above the rotary table 203; a lifting plate 305, which is driven by a linear actuator 307 and can be lifted and lowered below the horizontal plate 304; a pair of tapping motors 306, which are symmetrically fixedly mounted at both ends of the lifting plate 305, and are respectively used to drive the tapping drill 301 and the tapping sleeve 302 to rotate.
[0084] Furthermore, the rotary actuator 204 includes a circular groove 2041, a rotating sleeve 2042, a ring gear 2043, a gear 2044, and an actuating motor 2045. The circular groove 2041 is set at the center of the machine platform 201. The rotating sleeve 2042 is rotatably mounted in the circular groove 2041 and fixedly connected to the bottom center of the rotating platform 203. The ring gear 2043 is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the outer peripheral wall of the rotating sleeve 2042. The gear 2044 is mounted on the output shaft of the actuating motor 2045 and meshes with the ring gear 2043 for transmission.
[0085] The linear actuator 307 is a pneumatic cylinder, an oil cylinder or an electric push rod.
[0086] Also disclosed is a method for processing a locking nut suitable for the aforementioned tapping equipment, comprising the following steps:
[0087] S1, turning to obtain a rough blank of the main nut 101 and the auxiliary nut 104 with an untapped external screw sleeve 103;
[0088] S2. Drill the main nut 101 and the auxiliary nut 104 to obtain a rough blank of the main nut 101 having a center hole and a plurality of sliding holes 106, and a rough blank of the auxiliary nut 104 having a center hole and a plurality of sliding holes 107;
[0089] S3, tapping the center hole of the secondary nut 104;
[0090] S4. Punch a number of steel balls into the outer ends of the slide holes 107, and install the preload spring 109 and the slide rod 108 into each slide hole 107 in sequence;
[0091] S5. The main nut 101 blank is loaded into the fixed fixture 4 and fixed. The rotary actuator 204 drives the rotary table 203 to rotate. The main nut 101 blank is moved below the tapping device 3. The center hole of the main nut 101 and the outer wall of the outer screw sleeve 103 are tapped to obtain the finished main nut 101.
[0092] S6, the fixing tool 4 releases the fixing of the finished main nut 101 after tapping, and the finished main nut 101 falls from the drop port 207 onto the conveyor belt 206 and is sent out by the conveyor belt 206;
[0093] S7, assembling the secondary nut 104 onto the outside of the outer threaded sleeve 103 to obtain a finished anti-loosening nut.
[0094] In this embodiment of the present application, due to the adoption of the above-mentioned structure and method, when tapping the main nut 101 rough blank, the main nut 101 rough blank is placed in one of the fixed fixtures 4, and the rotary table 203 is rotated under the drive of the rotary actuator 204, so that the fixed fixture 4 loaded with the main nut 101 rough blank is moved to under the tapping drill bit 301. At this time, the worker places the next main nut 101 rough blank in the next fixed fixture 4, and the straight-moving actuator 307 is actuated to lower the lifting plate 305, and a pair of tapping motors 306 rotate accordingly, and the tapping drill bit 301 and the tapping sleeve 302 tap the corresponding main nut 101 rough blank. After the tapping is completed, the straight-moving actuator 307 is actuated to lower the lifting plate 305 and the pair of tapping motors 306. The machine 306, the tapping drill bit 301 and the tapping sleeve 302 rise and move away from the main nut 101 rough blank. Then, the rotary table 203 continues to rotate under the drive of the corresponding rotary actuator 204, so that the main nut 101 rough blank that has not been tapped moves to under the tapping drill bit 301. The main nut 101 rough blank with the center hole tapped moves to under the tapping sleeve 302. The main nut 101 rough blank with all tappings moves to above the blanking port 207 (under the action of gravity, the main nut 101 rough blank with the tapping completed falls from the blanking port 207 onto the conveyor belt 206 and is sent out by the conveyor belt 206. The fixed tool 4 that completes unloading moves to between the tapping drill bit 301 and the blanking port 207, and the worker places the main nut 101 rough blank that has not been tapped;
[0095] Only through turning, drilling, tapping and assembly can a complete anti-loosening nut with strong anti-loosening effect be obtained. The steps and structure are simple and easy to produce.
[0096] Example 3:
[0097] like Figures 3 to 6As shown, in this embodiment, in addition to the structural features of the aforementioned embodiments, the fixed tooling 4 includes a fixed table 401, which is fixedly mounted on the rotating table 203; a receiving groove 402, which is arranged in the fixed table 401 and passes through from top to bottom; a plurality of transverse holes 403, which are arranged at intervals on the peripheral wall of the fixed table 401 and are connected to the receiving groove 402; a plurality of limiting rods 404, which can be slidably inserted in the corresponding transverse holes 403, and the outer ends are all provided with lower inclined surfaces; a clamping device 5, which is used to push each limiting rod 404 toward the receiving groove 402 when the fixed table 401 moves to correspond to the tapping device 3.
[0098] Furthermore, the clamping device 5 includes a floating ring 501, which can be raised and lowered and sleeved on the outside of the fixed table 401; a pair of rotary grooves 502, which are arranged at intervals on the top surface of the machine table 201 and are concentric with the rotating table 203, and both include a deep section 5021 and a shallow section 5022; a pair of support rods 503, which are symmetrically fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotary grooves 502, and the lower ends can slide through the rotating table 203, extend into the corresponding rotary grooves 502, and abut against the bottom ends of the corresponding rotary grooves 502; a pair of convex rings 504, which are fixedly installed at the lower ends of each support rod 503; a pair of pressure springs 505, which are respectively sleeved on the outside of each support rod 503, with the upper ends abutting against the bottom surface of the turntable and the lower ends abutting against the corresponding convex rings 504, and the shallow section 5022 corresponds to the tapping device 3.
[0099] Preferably, the plurality of clamping devices 5 share a pair of rotary grooves 502 .
[0100] In this embodiment of the present application, due to the adoption of the above-mentioned structure, the main nut 101 blank is placed in the receiving groove 402. When the fixing platform 401 moves to the bottom of the tapping device 3, the lower ends of the pair of support rods 503 slide from the deep section 5021 of the corresponding rotary groove 502 to the shallow section 5022, pushing the floating ring 501 upward. The inner peripheral wall of the floating ring 501 cooperates with the lower inclined surface of the outer end of each limiting rod 404, pushing each limiting rod 404 to slide toward the receiving groove 402, so that the inner end of each limiting rod 105 abuts against the outer wall of the main nut 101 blank, thereby fixing the main nut 101 blank. At this time, each pressure spring 505 is compressed and shortened, storing elastic potential energy.
[0101] When the fixed platform 401 is separated from the tapping device 3, the lower ends of a pair of support rods 503 slide from the shallow section 5022 of the corresponding rotary groove 502 to the deep section 5021, and each pressure spring 505 releases elastic potential energy, pushing each convex ring 504 and the corresponding support rod 503 to descend, causing the floating ring 501 to descend, and its inner ring is disengaged from the outer end of each limiting rod 404. The contact exerts pressure on each limiting rod 404, so that the inner end of each limiting rod 404 releases the fixation on the rough main nut 101.
[0102] It should be noted that, in this article, the terms "comprise", "include" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, an element defined by the statement "comprises a ..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device comprising the element.
