TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bolt anti-loosening and fracture detection, and particularly relates to a bolt mechanical anti-loosening and fracture detection device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Bolt connection is a commonly used mechanical connection method, and is usually composed of a bolt, a nut and a washer, wherein the bolt is a main component for connection and is also a main force bearing component. The bolt connection has advantages of simple structure, high reliability and convenient disassembly, etc. However, the bolt is easily subjected to external loads such as vibration, impact, material high-temperature creep, etc. and environmental loads such as rusting and hydrogen absorption in actual work, and is easily caused to relatively rotate in a loosening direction to cause bolt loosening, thereby greatly shortening the fatigue life of the bolt connection or even causing serious safety hazards or directly causing a major accident due to fracture.
[0003] Bolt anti-loosening technology is an important content of mechanical engineering, and mainly prevents the bolt from loosening due to vibration, load change or other external factors during use. Bolt loosening can cause equipment failure, structure damage or even safety accidents, so the anti-loosening technology has wide application in the fields of machinery, aerospace, automobile, building, etc. Common bolt anti-loosening methods include mechanical anti-loosening and adhesive anti-loosening. The mechanical anti-loosening method such as partial bolt, spring washer double nut, stop washer and lock wire anti-loosening, etc. increases resistance through the interaction of mechanical structures to prevent loosening. The adhesive anti-loosening fills the space between threads with adhesive materials (such as silicone) to increase friction. In special environments, self-locking bolts or locking glue can be used to improve the anti-loosening performance. The selection of the anti-loosening scheme needs to consider the environment, cost and maintenance requirements to ensure the reliability of the bolt during use.
[0004] Bolt fracture detection technology usually refers to detecting the bolt in use to avoid accidents caused by bolt failure. The simplest method is to check by marking, which is relatively simple and direct, but is not suitable for bolts hidden in the structure inside and difficult working sites. In addition, there are anti-loosening lock wire detection based on ai vision recognition, pre-tightening force detection based on time reversal, pre-tightening force detection method based on piezoelectric sensing technology, etc. This kind of way is complex in operation and high in cost.

After the device is installed, the copper ring contact is compressed back, the spring stores elastic potential energy, and the copper ring is disconnected from the bolt cap. When the bolt cap and the screw head are pushed away after the bolt is broken, the spring pushes the copper ring contact, the copper ring contacts the bolt cap, the buzzer circuit is connected, and the buzzer realizes alarm.

When the bolt 10 is fractured (such as hydrogen embrittlement fracture), the head of the bolt 10 is disconnected from the shank, the head is lifted by the spring 5, the copper ring 62 contacts the bolt cap 7 at this time, the fracture detection circuit is closed, the battery 2 circuit is closed, the battery 2 is discharged, the buzzer 3 buzzes, and the fracture alarm function is achieved. In the case where space is allowed, the battery 2 can be powered by nearby power supply, unified power supply, electromagnetic induction power supply or other ways to prolong the service life.

The mushroom-shaped non-metallic support rod passes through the copper ring (62) and engages with the support leg receiving cavity (722a). The diameter of the copper ring (62) is smaller than the inner diameter of the support leg receiving cavity (721a). When the bolt cap (7) is in the correct position... When the bolt (10) is normally installed and working, the copper ring contact (6) is squeezed back, the spring (5) stores elastic potential energy, and the copper ring (62) is disconnected from the bolt cap (7). When the bolt (10) breaks, the head of the bolt (10) is disconnected from the stud, and the head and the bolt cap (7) are lifted by the spring (5). The spring (5) pushes the copper ring contact (6), and the copper ring (62) contacts the bolt cap (7). The buzzer (3) circuit is connected, and the buzzer (3) realizes the alarm.
3. The bolt mechanical loosening and fracture detection device according to claim 1, characterized in that, The bolt mechanical anti-loosening and fracture detection device also includes a top cover (1), which is welded to the top of the bolt cap (7) to protect the bolt cap (7).
4. The bolt mechanical anti-loosening and fracture detection device according to claim 3, characterized in that, The bolt mechanical anti-loosening and fracture detection device includes multiple set screws (9), which are spaced apart around the periphery of the bolt cap (7) to achieve a fixed connection between the bolt cap (7) and the head of the bolt (10).
5. The bolt mechanical loosening and fracture detection device according to claim 4, characterized in that, The bolt cap (7) includes multiple legs (722), which are spaced apart along the periphery of the sleeve (71). The multiple legs (722) are inserted into the corresponding grooves of the connected base (11) to prevent relative rotation between the bolt cap (7) and the connected base (11).
6. The bolt mechanical loosening and fracture detection device according to claim 1, characterized in that, The insulating contact (61) and the copper ring (62) are fixedly connected by bonding or interference fit.
