Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mechanical connection fasteners, and specifically refers to a lock - preventing bolt - nut assembly. Background Art

[0002] The existing bolt - nut assembly is composed of a bolt with external threads and a nut with internal threads. It is easy to install and disassemble, but its functions of preventing loosening, detachment and shock absorption are poor.

[0003] In various equipment and devices such as mechanical devices, bridge piers, iron towers, ships, automobiles, aircraft, etc., fasteners are often used to combine two or more components. The bolt - nut assembly is a commonly used fastener. At present, most bolt - nut assemblies adopt the connection and fastening method of ordinary bolts and nuts, that is, an ordinary bolt pair. When using a bolt pair for connection and fastening, if vibration or impact is continuously applied to the joint from the outside in the state where the bolt and the nut are combined, the phenomenon that the bolt and the nut gradually loosen along the opposite direction of the thread combination may occur. The loosening problem of the ordinary bolt pair is very serious and often causes major accidents. If it is not discovered and repaired in time, it will lead to insecure connection or the bolt and nut falling off, resulting in major safety accidents and incalculable losses. To solve this problem, generally, anti - loosening helical teeth are provided on the bolt and nut at present, or an anti - loosening gasket is sleeved between the bolt and nut. Although this can play a certain role in preventing loosening, loosening still occurs when receiving vibration or impact for a long time. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the above - mentioned technical defects and provide a lock - preventing bolt - nut assembly.

[0005] To solve the above - mentioned technical problem, the technical solution provided by the present invention is a lock - preventing bolt - nut assembly: including a bolt and a main nut. The bolt includes a bolt head, a main screw rod fixedly connected to the bolt head, and an anti - loosening screw rod fixedly connected to the main screw rod. The thread directions of the main screw rod and the anti - loosening screw rod are opposite. The main nut is thread - connected to the main screw rod, and an anti - loosening nut is thread - connected to the anti - loosening screw rod. Anti - loosening helical teeth that cooperate with each other are provided at the lower end of the main nut and the upper end of the anti - loosening nut.

[0006] Furthermore, the diameter of the main screw rod is greater than that of the anti - loosening screw rod. A threaded hole that matches the thread on the anti - loosening screw rod is provided at the lower part of the anti - loosening nut, and a through - hole that penetrates through the threaded hole is provided at the upper part of the anti - loosening nut. The diameter of the through - hole is greater than the outer diameter of the main screw rod to meet different thickness requirements.

[0007] The advantages of the present invention compared with the prior art are as follows: By designing the opposite thread directions of the main screw and the anti-loosening screw, and the anti-loosening inclined teeth on the relatively close surfaces of the main nut and the anti-loosening nut, the main nut can achieve the anti-loosening effect, and the anti-loosening nut can also achieve anti-loosening at the same time. Furthermore, it can ensure that the main nut will not loosen for a long time, with stable and reliable operation, good anti-loosening effect, convenient use, and can be manufactured, having very good practicability.

[0015] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Usually, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and illustrated herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0016] Embodiment 1, in combination with the attached Figures 1-5, A lock - preventing bolt - nut assembly, comprising a bolt and a main nut 4. The bolt includes a bolt head 1, a main screw rod 2 fixedly connected to the bolt head 1, and a lock - preventing screw rod 3 fixedly connected to the main screw rod 2. The thread directions of the main screw rod 2 and the lock - preventing screw rod 3 are opposite. The main nut 4 is threadedly connected to the main screw rod 2, and a lock - preventing nut 5 is threadedly connected to the lock - preventing screw rod 3. Anti - loosening inclined teeth 6 that cooperate with each other are provided at the lower end of the main nut 4 and the upper end of the lock - preventing nut 5. During use, the length of the main screw rod 2 is designed as required, and the bolt is passed through the connection holes of two workpieces to be connected. First, the main screw rod 2 is screwed onto the main screw rod 2 and tightened. At this time, the lower end of the main screw rod 2 does not extend out of the main nut 4. Then, the lock - preventing nut 5 is screwed onto the lock - preventing screw rod 3 and tightened so that the anti - loosening inclined teeth 6 on the lock - preventing nut 5 engage with the anti - loosening inclined teeth 6 on the main nut 4. At this time, when the main nut 4 has a tendency to loosen, it will drive the lock - preventing nut 5 to move through the anti - loosening inclined teeth 6 on it. Because the rotation directions of the main nut 4 and the lock - preventing nut 5 are opposite when they loosen, the lock - preventing nut 5 will prevent the main nut 4 from loosening, achieving the purpose of preventing loosening. At the same time, when the lock - preventing nut 5 has a tendency to loosen, the main nut 4 will also prevent the lock - preventing nut 5 from loosening, so that a good anti - loosening effect can be achieved.

[0017] The main screw rod 2 and the lock - preventing screw rod 3 are coaxial, which is convenient for use. At the same time, the bolt is evenly stressed and not easily broken.

[0018] The diameter of the main screw rod 2 is larger than that of the lock - preventing screw rod 3, so as to ensure that the main nut 4 can easily pass through the lock - preventing screw rod 3 and then be connected to the main screw rod 2. A threaded hole that matches the thread on the lock - preventing screw rod 3 is provided at the lower part of the lock - preventing nut 5, and a through - hole 7 that penetrates the threaded hole is provided at the upper part of the lock - preventing nut 5. The diameter of the through - hole 7 is larger than the outer diameter of the main screw rod 2. When screwing the lock - preventing nut 5, the part of the lock - preventing nut 5 with the through - hole 7 at the upper part can be sleeved on the main screw rod 2. Thus, even if the main screw rod 2 extends a small length from the main nut 4 when the main nut 4 is tightened, the anti - loosening inclined teeth 6 on the lock - preventing nut 5 can still engage with the anti - loosening inclined teeth 6 on the main nut 4 when the lock - preventing nut 5 is screwed, meeting the connection requirements of workpieces with different thicknesses and having stronger applicability.

[0019] The main screw rod 2 uses a right - hand thread, and the lock - preventing screw rod 3 uses a left - hand thread.
