DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0008] A mechanical press locking nut anti-loosening mechanism, the anti-loosening structure comprises a cylinder and a pre-tightening tooling, The cylinder comprises a piston rod 01, a locking nut 02, a support block 03, a limiting spacer 04, a pressure plate 05, a tension bolt 06, a nut 07, an upper cylinder cover 08, a self-lubricating copper sleeve 09, a piston 10, an upper cylinder body 11, a spacer 12, a middle cylinder cover 13, a copper sleeve 14, a middle cylinder body 15, a lower cylinder body 16, and a lower cylinder bottom 17; The pre-tightening tooling includes a pre-tightening bolt 18, a pre-tightening piston 19, a pre-tightening cylinder 20, a pre-tightening cylinder seat 21, a pre-tightening lever 22, and an air cushion crown fixing plate 23; One end of the pre-tightening bolt 18 is connected to the piston rod 01, the pre-tightening cylinder seat 21 is arranged on the air cushion crown fixing plate 23, the pre-tightening cylinder body 20 is arranged on the pre-tightening cylinder seat 21, the pre-tightening piston 19 is connected to the other end of the pre-tightening bolt 18 and is arranged in the pre-tightening cylinder body 20, the piston rod 01 passes through the locking nut 02 and the air cushion crown fixing plate 23 in sequence, the locking nut 02 is arranged on the air cushion crown fixing plate 23, one end of the pre-tightening lever 22 is arranged in the locking nut 02, and the spacer sleeve 12 is arranged outside the piston rod 01.

[0009] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: first, the cylinder is installed into the air cushion crown, and the locking nut 02 is used for preliminary tightening, then one end of the pre-tightening bolt 18 is screwed into the piston rod 01, and then the pre-tightening cylinder seat 21 and the pre-tightening cylinder body 20 are placed on the air cushion crown fixing plate 23 in sequence, and then the pre-tightening piston 19 is connected to the other end of the pre-tightening bolt 18 and installed into the pre-tightening cylinder body, and finally high-pressure oil is injected into the pre-tightening cylinder body 20, and the movement of the pre-tightening piston 19 causes the piston rod 01 to be stretched and the spacer 12 to be compressed, so that the locking nut 02 and the air cushion A gap is generated between the top crown fixing plate 23. At this time, the locking nut 02 is rotated by the pre-tightening lever 22 to eliminate the gap. After the locking nut 02 is rotated into place, the oil pressure is released. At this time, the piston rod 01 is still in an extended state, and the spacer sleeve 12 is still in a compressed state. The elastic deformation of the two generates a pre-tightening force, which makes the nut not easy to loosen. Finally, in order to prevent the pre-tightening force from disappearing with the passage of time, two M10 saddle screws are installed at a 90° offset between the thread gap of the locking nut 02 and the piston rod 01 for secondary anti-loosening protection.
