[0020] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0021] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 - attached Figure 6 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a fastening bolt assembly, including a screw rod 1, a lock washer 2 is arranged at one end of the screw rod 1, the lock washer 2 is arranged between the screw rod 1 and the connected part, a nut 3 is arranged at the other end of the screw rod 1, a locking ring 4 is arranged at the tail end of the screw rod 1, the locking ring 4 is arranged at the bottom end of the nut 3, a fastening hole 5 is opened inside the locking ring 4, a fastening hole 5 is opened inside the locking ring 4, an isolation ring 6 is fixedly connected inside the locking ring 4, the isolation ring 6 is fixedly connected inside the fastening hole 5, and a fastening assembly 7 is arranged inside the locking ring 4. The fastening assembly 7 includes a spring 71, both ends of the spring 71 are fixedly connected inside the locking ring 4, a sliding shaft 72 is slidably connected inside the locking ring 4, a retaining ring 73 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding shaft 72, the outer wall of the retaining ring 73 is arranged on the outer wall of the isolation ring 6, a handle 74 is rotatably connected to the other end of the sliding shaft 72, and the outer wall of the handle 74 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the locking ring 4. The sliding shaft 72 is slidably connected inside the locking ring 4 through the fastening hole 5, and the inner wall of the spring 71 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding shaft 72.

[0022] Specifically, place the anti-loosening washer 2 on the connected part, then pass the screw 1 through the hole in the connected part, and then screw the nut 3 onto the screw 1 until it is tightened. Then, put the locking ring 4 on the end of the screw 1, and then turn the handle 74. When the outer wall of the handle 74 rotates on the outer wall of the locking ring 4, it will drive the sliding shaft 72 to slide. When the sliding shaft 72 slides, the spring 71 will be compressed. At the same time, the isolation ring 6 plays a limiting role to prevent the retaining ring 73 from sliding out of the inside of the locking ring 4. When the handle 74 drives the sliding shaft 72 to slide, the locking ring 4 will be tightened to clamp the screw 1. When disassembly is required, reverse the handle 74 by hand to release the locking state of the locking ring 4 on the screw 1, then reverse-rotate the nut 3 and remove the screw 1 and the anti-loosening washer 2 to complete the entire disassembly process; The locking ring 4 is automatically locked by the elastic snap structure of the fastening component 7 after the screw 1 is tightened, preventing the bolt from loosening due to vibration or external force during use, thus ensuring the long-term stability of the bolt fastening. And the design of the locking ring 4 allows for manual unlocking, simplifying the disassembly process without the need for additional tools, facilitating quick disassembly and reinstallation, and improving the maintenance efficiency.

[0023] The diameter range of the screw 1 is M10 - M20, and the length range is 50mm - 200mm.

[0024] Specifically, it ensures that the screw 1 can be applicable to fastening applications of different specifications and sizes. By adjusting the size of the screw 1, a suitable screw 1 can be selected according to different engineering requirements to adapt to different loads and working conditions.

[0025] According to the actual usage requirements, screws 1 of different diameters and lengths can be selected. The screw 1 with a larger diameter has stronger load-bearing capacity and tensile strength and is suitable for heavy-load applications; while the screw 1 with a smaller diameter is suitable for precision fastening and provides higher installation flexibility.

[0026] The thickness of the anti-loosening washer 2 is 1mm - 2mm, and the inner diameter of the anti-loosening washer 2 matches the outer diameter of the screw 1.

[0027] Specifically, the thickness range of the anti-loosening washer 2 is 1mm - 2mm, and the inner diameter matches the outer diameter of the screw 1, ensuring close contact between the anti-loosening washer 2 and the bolt body, and being able to provide appropriate pre-tightening force during the tightening process of the nut 3, thus effectively preventing the nut 3 from loosening. The reasonable thickness can ensure that the washer has sufficient elasticity to form a stable anti-loosening mechanism in an environment with high vibration or temperature changes.

[0028] The precise fit of the anti-loosening washer 2 and the screw 1 (matching of inner diameter and outer diameter) can prevent the anti-loosening washer 2 from sliding or shifting, ensuring the stability of the entire fastening system. This fit can also effectively avoid wear and damage caused by mismatch between the bolt body and the anti-loosening washer 2.

[0029] Please refer to the attached Figure 7 , a processing technology for a fastening bolt assembly, comprising the following steps: S1. Forge the screw 1, using high-strength alloy steel material, and forge the material into a preliminary shape through hot forging or cold forging process; S2. Turn the forged screw 1, and use a lathe to precisely machine the outer diameter of the bolt; S3. Roll the thread part of the screw 1, and use a thread rolling machine to process the thread; S4. Heat-treat the screw 1, including quenching and tempering processes; S5. Galvanize or phosphatize the surface of the screw 1; S6. Stamping and forming the lock washer 2, and use a stamping machine to process the shape of the lock washer 2; S7. Heat-treat the lock washer 2, and carry out tempering treatment; S8. Finish the surface of the lock washer 2, remove burrs and ensure the surface is smooth; S9. Laser cut the locking ring 4 into a shape that meets the design requirements; S10. Bend the locking ring 4 to adjust the angle and elasticity of the fastening assembly 7 part; S11. Polish and deburr the surface of the locking ring 4; S12. Surface-treat the locking ring 4, and carry out treatment by spraying, electroplating or coating process; S13. Assemble the lock washer 2, the screw 1 and the locking ring 4 in sequence.

[0030] Specifically, through precise turning, rolling and heat-treatment processes, it is possible to ensure that the outer diameter, thread accuracy and strength of the bolt body meet high requirements, and it is applicable to high-load and high-precision application scenarios.

[0031] The multi-step processes such as forging, turning and heat-treatment enhance the strength, hardness and toughness of the bolt, ensuring that it is not easily deformed or fatigued during long-term operation.

[0032] Through galvanizing or phosphatizing treatment, the corrosion resistance of the bolt is improved, especially suitable for use under harsh environmental conditions, and the service life is extended.

[0033] Through precise stamping and laser cutting technologies, the accuracy of the lock washer and the locking ring is ensured, the fit of the fastener is optimized, and the anti-loosening and anti-corrosion effects are improved.

[0034] The forging temperature of the screw 1 is controlled between 900°C - 1200°C. The outer diameter precision after turning is ±0.05mm, the thread rolling precision is 6H. The heat treatment temperature of the screw 1 is 950°C - 1000°C, and the tempering temperature is 500°C - 550°C.

[0035] Specifically, controlling the forging temperature between 900°C - 1200°C helps to improve the metal structure of the bolt body, making it stronger. And the outer diameter precision and thread precision are controlled through precision turning and rolling processes.

[0036] The heat treatment process (quenching and tempering) can significantly increase the hardness and strength of the bolt, enhancing the durability of the bolt, especially its performance under high load and high temperature conditions.

[0037] The precise thread rolling process ensures that the threads of the bolt meet the standards, reducing the loosening problems caused by unqualified threads and improving the reliability of the overall fastening.

[0038] During the stamping process of the lock washer 2, a precision die is used to match the inner diameter of the lock washer 2 with the outer diameter of the screw 1. The tempering treatment temperature is 350°C - 450°C.

[0039] Specifically, using a precision die during the stamping process can ensure the fitting precision between the lock washer and the bolt body, improving the stability of the bolt assembly. The precise inner diameter fit reduces failures caused by fitting looseness or deviation.

[0040] The tempering treatment enhances the elasticity of the lock washer, enabling it to better adapt to deformation under high temperature and high load environments, forming a more effective pre-tightening force, thus increasing the functionality of the lock washer.

[0041] The long-term elastic retention and high temperature resistance of the lock washer reduce the maintenance requirements caused by loosening and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0042] The laser cutting precision of the locking ring 4 is ±0.05mm, the bending angle precision is ±1°, the surface roughness after polishing does not exceed Ra0.4μm, and the surface treatment uses a galvanizing process with a coating thickness of 10μm - 20μm.

[0043] Specifically, the laser cutting and bending processing technologies can ensure that the buckle part of the locking ring has high precision, enabling it to precisely fit the bolt body and effectively lock to prevent loosening.

[0044] The bending processing and surface polishing processes ensure the stability and durability of the buckle structure, avoiding damage caused by friction and operation.

[0045] The surface galvanizing process improves the corrosion resistance of the locking ring, making it particularly suitable for use in humid or highly corrosive environments, and increasing the durability and rust prevention performance of the locking ring.

[0046] Please refer to the attached Figure 8 , a method for using a fastening bolt assembly, comprising the following steps: S1. Prepare the required tools, including a wrench and a screwdriver; S2. Place the lock washer 2 on the connected part; S3. Pass the screw rod 1 through the hole in the connected part; S4. Screw on the nut 3 until it is tightened; S5. Slip the locking ring 4 onto the end of the screw rod 1, and then turn the handle 74. When the handle 74 rotates on the outer wall of the locking ring 4, it drives the sliding shaft 72 to slide. The sliding of the sliding shaft 72 compresses the spring 71. At the same time, the spacer 6 is used to block the retaining ring 73 to prevent the sliding shaft 72 from sliding out of the inside of the locking ring 4. When the handle 74 drives the sliding shaft 72 to slide, it will tighten the locking ring 4 so that it catches the screw rod 1; S6. During disassembly, reverse the handle 74 by hand to release the locked state; S7. Reverse-rotate the nut 3 and remove the screw rod 1; S8. Remove the lock washer 2 to complete the entire disassembly process.

[0047] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention.
