Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a pre-embedded nut, and more particularly to a self-tightening pre-embedded nut with a hole, belonging to the field of nut technology. Background Technology
[0002] Self-tightening pre-embedded nuts are pre-embedded internal thread fasteners designed specifically for thin plates / sheet metal. They mechanically lock themselves into the holes of the sheet metal through axial pressure, forming a permanent, high-strength threaded connection point without the need for welding, tapping, or additional anti-loosening components.
[0003] The existing self-tightening pre-embedded nuts with holes have a problem during use: because the surface of the nut is smooth, it is not convenient to perform a self-tightening operation during the pre-embedding process.
[0004] To overcome the problem that "the self-tightening pre-embedded nuts in the existing technology are not easy to self-tighten during the pre-embedding process due to their smooth surface", a self-tightening pre-embedded nut with holes is needed for optimization and improvement. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The main objective of this invention is to overcome the problem that "in the prior art, the self-tightening pre-embedded nut with a hole is not easy to self-tighten during the pre-embedding process due to its smooth surface," and to provide a self-tightening pre-embedded nut with a hole that achieves the following functions:
[0006] First, the nut is pre-embedded and fixed inside the pre-set hole by screwing it in. After the nut is installed in place, the structural component to be fixed is attached to the outer end face of the nut so that the two fit tightly together.
[0007] Then, insert the connector into the nut and tighten it by interlocking the connecting thread one on the connector with the connecting thread two on the inside of the nut.
[0008] During the tightening and clamping process, when the connector moves to the bottom of the nut, it will simultaneously drive the nut to rotate further, so that the nut and the wall or base form a tighter fit and engagement, thereby achieving the function of self-tightening reinforcement and effectively improving the overall connection's firmness and stability.
[0009] The objective of this invention can be achieved by adopting the following technical solution:
[0010] A self-tightening pre-embedded nut with a hole includes a nut body for connection, the nut body being inserted into a nut.
[0011] The outer side of the nut is wound with a self-tightening thread, and a screw is installed at one end of the nut body. An elastic expansion plate is provided in the lower half of the nut. The inner diameter of the elastic expansion plate in the lower half is smaller than the outer diameter of the screw, and the inner surface of the elastic expansion plate is provided with long serrations. The upper half of the elastic expansion plate is embedded in the nut. The upper half of the elastic expansion plate has a regular hexagonal cross-section and its inner diameter is larger than the outer diameter of the screw.
[0012] Preferably, the screw and the nut are respectively provided with connecting thread one and connecting thread two coiled inside.
[0013] Preferably, the nut body is rotatably connected by a screw, a first connecting thread, and a second connecting thread.
[0014] Preferably, the connecting thread and the self-tightening thread are of opposite rotational structure.
[0015] Preferably, the rotation of the nut body causes the self-tightening thread to rotate and tighten itself.
[0016] Preferably, the self-tightening thread on the nut has an outward convex structure.
[0017] Beneficial technical effects of the present invention:
[0018] The present invention provides a self-tightening hole pre-embedded nut. First, the nut is pre-embedded and fixed inside the preset hole by screwing. After the nut is installed in place, the structural component to be fixed is attached to the outer end face of the nut so that the two are tightly attached.
[0019] Then, insert the connector into the nut and tighten it by interlocking the connecting thread one on the connector with the connecting thread two on the inside of the nut.
[0020] During the tightening and clamping process, when the connector moves to the bottom of the nut, it will simultaneously drive the nut to rotate further, making the nut fit and engage more tightly with the wall or base. At the same time, the screw will cause the elastic expansion plate to spring open, and the elastic expansion plate will press the long serrations onto the surface of the screw to prevent the screw from loosening, thereby achieving the function of self-tightening and reinforcement, effectively improving the overall strength and stability of the connection.

For those skilled in the art to which this application pertains, the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a self-tightening hole-embedded nut, including a nut body 1 for connection, wherein the nut body 1 is inserted into a nut 2;
[0037] The outer side of the nut 2 is wound with a self-tightening thread 201. A screw 101 is installed at one end of the nut body 1. An elastic expansion piece 3 is provided in the lower half of the nut 2. The inner diameter of the spring piece 301 in the lower half of the elastic expansion piece 3 is smaller than the outer diameter of the screw 101, and the inner surface of the spring piece 301 is provided with long serrations 302. The upper half of the elastic expansion piece 3 is embedded in the nut 2. The upper half of the elastic expansion piece 3 has a regular hexagonal cross-section and an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the screw 101. The upper half of the elastic expansion piece 3 achieves an interference fit by pressing it in through a hexagonal hole of the same size opened in the nut 2. Multiple spring pieces 301 are arranged in a circle around the upper half of the elastic expansion piece 3, typically more than 10. There are gaps between the spring pieces 301. Each spring piece 301 is a long strip extending along the axis of the nut 2, with its center bent inwards so that its inner diameter is smaller than the diameter of the screw. When the screw is screwed in, it comes into contact with the spring piece 301, which presses against the screw surface. Because the inner surface of the spring piece 301 has long serrations 302, these serrations press against the screw surface. These serrations have a triangular cross-section, and their length also extends along the axis of the nut 2. Thus, the apex of the triangular serration 302 presses against the screw surface. After the screw is tightened, the triangular apex presses against the screw surface for a prolonged period, creating a pit and greatly increasing friction, making the screw less prone to loosening.
[0038] The screw 101 and the nut 2 are respectively provided with connecting thread 102 and connecting thread 202.
[0039] The nut body 1 is rotatably connected by a screw 101, a first connecting thread 102, and a second connecting thread 202.
[0040] The connecting thread 102 and the self-tightening thread 201 are reverse-rotating structures.
[0041] The rotation of the nut body 1 causes the self-tightening thread 201 to rotate and tighten itself.
[0042] The self-tightening thread 201 on the nut 2 has an outward convex structure.
[0043] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, first, the nut 2 is pre-embedded and fixed inside the preset hole by screwing. After the nut 2 is installed in place, the structural component to be fixed is attached to the outer end face of the nut 2 so that the two fit tightly together.
[0044] Then, insert the connector 1 into the nut 2, and tighten it by interlocking the connecting thread 102 on the connector 1 with the connecting thread 202 on the inside of the nut 2.
[0045] During the tightening and clamping process, when the connector 1 moves to the bottom of the nut 2, it will simultaneously drive the nut 2 to generate a further rotational tendency, so that the nut 2 and the wall or base form a tighter fit and engagement, thereby achieving the function of self-tightening reinforcement and effectively improving the overall connection's firmness and stability.
[0046] The above description is merely a further embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and concept of the present invention, shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
