Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of tower bolt anti-loosening, and specifically to a non-detachable anti-loosening component for tower bolts. Background Art

[0002] The angle steel connection bolts, as key fasteners in the tower structure, are mainly used to support and fix each structural unit of the tower to ensure the stability and load-bearing capacity of the overall structure. During long-term use, due to the influence of various factors such as wind alternating loads, vibrations, temperature changes, and material creep on the bolts of the angle steel connection, the bolts gradually loosen, thereby affecting the safety and service life of the tower structure. Currently, traditional bolt anti-loosening methods mainly include spring washers, double-nut locking, nylon locking nuts, and wedge-shaped anti-loosening washers, etc. However, these methods still have the risk of failure under complex working conditions such as high vibration and high wind loads. For example, the spring washer is prone to plastic deformation due to long-term stress, resulting in a reduced anti-loosening effect; the double-nut locking method may spin loose in a high-vibration environment; although the wedge-shaped anti-loosening washer can increase friction, it may also become loose after improper installation or long-term use. Therefore, the existing anti-loosening technologies are still difficult to meet the requirements of the long-term stable operation of the tower structure under certain extreme working conditions. In addition, for the existing bolt anti-loosening by adding anti-loosening devices, the nut needs to be disassembled to add components, which greatly increases the operation and maintenance costs and construction difficulties. Especially when working at high altitudes or in harsh environments, the traditional anti-loosening methods are difficult to ensure the long-term stability of the bolt connection. Therefore, a non-detachable anti-loosening component that does not require bolt disassembly, is easy to install, and can effectively prevent bolt loosening for a long time is needed to improve the safety and durability of the tower structure.

[0003] Based on the above problems, the present invention provides a non-detachable anti-loosening component for preventing the loosening of angle steel bolt connections, which includes two asymmetric anti-loosening stop washers and two auxiliary axial anti-disengagement washers. The asymmetric anti-loosening stop washer of the present invention adopts an asymmetric structure with respect to the position of the central hole, and the distances from each side to the central hole are different. The distance between the asymmetric anti-loosening stop washer and the vertical plane of the bottom side of the angle steel can be flexibly adjusted according to the bolt specifications and the spacing of the angle steels, so that it is applicable to the connections of different specifications of angle steels. The anti-loosening washer prevents the nut from loosening and rotating by restricting the rotation of the outer edge of the asymmetric anti-loosening stop washer sleeved on the nut through the vertical plane of the bottom side of the angle steel, and effectively prevents the nut from loosening under long-term vibration or load. In addition, an auxiliary axial anti-disengagement washer is added below the asymmetric anti-loosening washer to prevent the asymmetric anti-loosening stop washer from disengaging along the axial direction of the bolt, making the connection of the anti-loosening component more stable. The above components cooperate with each other, and the anti-loosening component can be added without disassembling the nut during application, with simple and fast installation, reducing the need for manual tightening and maintenance, and is particularly suitable for steel structure projects such as iron towers that are affected by external factors such as long-term wind loads and vibrations. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a non-detachable anti-loosening component that can enhance the anti-loosening effect, adapt to different bolt sizes and angle steel spacings, and reduce the risk of loosening of angle steel connection bolts. This component does not require disassembling the bolts and nuts, is convenient to install, and is applicable to environments affected by long-term vibration and wind loads.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A non-detachable component for preventing the loosening of tower bolts, comprising a front asymmetric anti-loosening stop washer (1), a rear asymmetric anti-loosening stop washer (2), a front auxiliary axial anti-disengagement washer (3), and a rear auxiliary axial anti-disengagement washer (4). It is characterized in that a hexagonal through-hole with the same cross-section as the hexagonal bolt nut is opened inside the front asymmetric anti-loosening stop washer (1), which is sleeved at the position of the bolt hexagonal head. The parallel side support surface on one side of the washer forms a parallel relationship with the bottom surface of the angle steel (this parallel side can be a polygon) to prevent the bolt from rotating. A through-hole with the same cross-section as the hexagonal nut is opened inside the rear asymmetric anti-loosening stop washer (2), which is sleeved at the position of the nut hexagonal head. The parallel side support surface on one side of the washer forms a parallel relationship with the bottom surface of the angle steel (this parallel side can be a polygon) to prevent the nut from rotating. Through the front and rear asymmetric anti-loosening stop washers, both the rotation of the bolt and the rotation of the nut are restricted, achieving the purpose of anti-loosening. The distances between the central holes of the front and rear asymmetric anti-loosening stop washers (1) and (2) and their respective shaped sides adopt an asymmetric polygon structure. Different support sides can be selected according to the vertical distance between the bolt and the angle steel. When there are N kinds of distances between the angle steel model and the bolt central hole, an N-sided polygon can be set to ensure that the support side of each type of angle steel can prevent the bolt from rotating through the vertical surface of the bottom-side angle steel, improving the applicability. The open side of the front auxiliary axial spring anti-disengagement washer (3) is inserted into the gap between the nut and the angle steel below, and the other side of the washer passes through the hexagonal hole of the front asymmetric anti-loosening stop washer (1) during installation and is bent to prevent the front asymmetric anti-loosening stop washer from moving along the screw direction and prevent the washer from loosening. The open side of the rear auxiliary axial anti-disengagement washer (4) is inserted between the hexagonal bolt and the angle steel, and the other side of the washer passes through the inner hexagonal hole of the rear asymmetric anti-loosening stop washer (2) during installation and is bent to prevent the rear asymmetric anti-loosening stop washer from moving along the screw direction and prevent the washer from loosening.

[0007] The beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0008] The present invention provides a non-detachable anti-loosening component for angle steel connecting bolts, which includes bolts, two asymmetric anti-loosening washers, two auxiliary anti-loosening washers, and angle steel. The asymmetric anti-loosening washer of the present invention adopts a special asymmetric polygon structure, with a hexagonal structure identical to that of the nut opened inside and a polygon structure opened outside. The lengths of the sides of the polygon from the center hole of the bolt are different. The supporting surface of the asymmetric anti-loosening washer is flexibly selected according to the distance between the bolt hole of different specifications of angle steel and the vertical plane at the bottom side of the angle steel, so that it is applicable to the connection of different specifications of angle steel. The anti-loosening washer forms a parallel structure through the outer supporting surface of the asymmetric anti-loosening washer and the vertical plane at the bottom side of the angle steel to achieve a stopping effect, effectively preventing the nut from loosening under long-term vibration or load. In addition, a spring anti-detachment washer is sleeved at the opening of the asymmetric anti-loosening washer to prevent the asymmetric anti-loosening washer from axially falling off, making the bolt connection more stable. The above components cooperate with each other, enabling the present invention to maintain the bolt fastening state during long-term use, without frequent manual maintenance, improving the installation convenience, and adapting to different bolt specifications and angle steel spacings. The present invention has the advantages of good anti-loosening effect, wide application range, long service life, and simple installation, and is particularly suitable for steel structure projects such as iron towers that are affected by external factors such as long-term wind loads and vibrations, solving the problems of limited application range of existing anti-loosening technologies, high maintenance costs, and easy failure in complex environments.
