[0013] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2The utility model high-strength locking nut comprises a main nut 1, a plastic nut 2, and a gasket 3. A mounting groove 10 is provided at the bottom of the main nut 1, and a first threaded hole 15 is provided on the top wall of the mounting groove 10. The plastic nut 2 is embedded in the mounting groove 10. The plastic nut 2 is composed of a main body 21 and a tapered portion 22. The main body 21 is adapted to the mounting groove 10, and the main body 21 is embedded in the mounting groove 10. The tapered portion 22 is fixed to the bottom end of the main body 21. The outer surface of the tapered portion 22 is a truncated cone with a larger upper portion and a smaller lower portion. The lower end of the tapered portion 22 is located below the main nut 1. A second threaded hole 25 is provided inside the plastic nut 2. The second threaded hole 25 passes through the upper and lower ends of the plastic nut 2. The first threaded hole 15 and the second threaded hole 25 have the same inner diameter. The first threaded hole 15 and the second threaded hole 25 are provided with the same internal thread. The first threaded hole 15, the second threaded hole 25, and the tapered portion 22 are provided with the same internal thread. The conical portion 22 is located on the same vertical central axis, and a plurality of vertically arranged dividing grooves 23 are provided on the side wall of the conical portion 22, and the dividing grooves 23 penetrate the side wall of the conical portion 22, and the dividing grooves 23 are open at the bottom end of the conical portion 22, and the dividing grooves 23 evenly divide the conical portion 22 into a plurality of arc-shaped petals 24, and a pad 3 is provided under the main nut 1, and a conical hole 30 which is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom is provided on the top of the pad 3, and a vertically arranged through hole 35 is provided at the bottom end of the conical hole 30, and the through hole 35 penetrates to the lower end surface of the pad 3, and the inner diameter of the through hole 35 is equal to the inner diameter of the bottom of the conical hole 30, and the inner diameter of the through hole 35 is larger than the inner diameter of the first threaded hole 15, and when the top end of the pad 3 is close to the bottom end of the main nut 1 and the first threaded hole 15 and the through hole 35 are located on the same vertical axis, the inner wall of the conical hole 30 is close to the outer wall of the conical portion 22, and at this time, the inner diameter of the conical portion 22 is smaller than the initial inner diameter of the conical portion 22.

[0014] In order to avoid relative rotation between the main nut 1 and the plastic nut 2, the cross section of the mounting groove 10 is not circular, and the cross section of the mounting groove 10 can be triangular, quadrilateral or hexagonal.

[0015] In order to ensure that the plastic nut 2 does not move upward when the tapered portion 22 is pressed by the tapered hole 30 , the top end of the main body 21 is in close contact with the top wall of the mounting groove 10 .

[0016] In order to prevent the conical portion 22 from being stuck between the lower end surface of the main nut 1 and the upper end surface of the backing plate 3 , a portion of the conical portion 22 is located inside the mounting groove 10 .

[0017] Working process of this utility model:

[0018] During the working process of the high-strength locking nut of the utility model, taking the installation of the nut on the screw as an example, the backing plate 3 is firstly put on the screw, and then the combination of the main nut 1 and the plastic nut 2 is screwed on the screw until the main nut 1 is tightly pressed against the backing plate 3. As the combination of the main nut 1 and the plastic nut 2 is screwed, the tapered portion 22 on the plastic nut 2 will gradually penetrate into the tapered hole 30 of the backing plate 3. As the tapered hole 30 is in continuous contact with the tapered portion 22, the tapered hole 30 will apply an inward compressive force to the arcuate petals 24 constituting the tapered portion 22, so that the arcuate petals 2 are tilted inwardly. Once the arcuate petals are tilted inwardly, they will bite the screw, and the friction between the plastic nut 2 and the screw will increase sharply, so that the locking nut is not easy to loosen.

[0019] It is particularly important to point out that when disassembly is required, use a wrench or other tool to twist the main nut 1 in the direction of loosening it to disassemble the combination of the main nut 1 and the plastic nut 2. During the disassembly process, the internal thread inside the plastic nut 2 will be damaged, and the plastic nut 2 needs to be replaced if it is to be reinstalled.

[0020] The above embodiments are intended to illustrate the present invention, not to limit the present invention. Any solution that is a simple transformation of the present invention falls within the protection scope of the present invention.
