Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fasteners, in particular to a bolt assembly with anti-theft and anti-loosening functions. Background Art

[0002] Bolts are a common fastener that is mainly used to fasten two or more parts together. They are used in conjunction with nuts to achieve a fastened connection. Bolts usually have threads on one end and a head (such as a hexagonal head, a cross-slot head, etc.) on the other end, which is easy to turn with a wrench or screwdriver. Bolts are indispensable connecting elements in the fields of automobiles, construction, machinery, etc.

[0003] In order to prevent the screw from loosening, some existing bolts use slotted nuts in conjunction with screws with holes at the tail and cotter pins to prevent the screw and nut from rotating relative to each other. After the nut is tightened, the cotter pin is inserted into the nut slot and the hole at the tail of the screw, and the tail of the cotter pin is pulled apart to prevent the nut and the screw from rotating relative to each other. The bolts of this structure have excellent anti-loosening performance, but since the cotter pin is easy to be manually pulled out from the nut slot and the hole at the tail of the screw, after pulling out the cotter pin, the user can use a wrench to make the nut and the screw rotate relative to each other, so it does not have an anti-theft effect. However, in many usage scenarios, this type of bolt is required to have a certain anti-theft effect. In view of this, the present application makes improvements. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The following will be combined with the attached embodiment of the utility model Figure 1-7 , clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0026] Example:

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the utility model discloses a bolt assembly with anti-theft and anti-loosening functions, including a screw rod 1, a nut 2 and a cotter pin 3, wherein the screw rod 1 includes a head 11 and a threaded column 12, and the nut 2 is threadedly fitted on the threaded column 12, and the nut 2 is integrally formed with a latch tooth 21 at one end away from the head 11, and a plurality of latch teeth 21 are provided and are equidistantly distributed on the nut 2 at a circumference, and a nut groove 22 is provided between each adjacent latch tooth 21, and a screw tail hole 121 is radially penetrated on the threaded column 12, and the cotter pin 3 is used to insert the nut groove 22 and the screw tail hole 121. Specifically, the cotter pin 3 includes a first pin rod 31 and a second pin rod 32 connected to each other, and the first pin rod 31 and the second pin rod 32 are symmetrically arranged, and a positioning protrusion 33 bent and protruding toward the outside is provided on the first pin rod 31 and the second pin rod 32, and positioning recesses 122 for the positioning protrusion 33 to be inserted into are provided on both sides of the screw tail hole 121.

[0028] Among them, the specific way of connecting the first pin rod 31 and the second pin rod 32 is: a connecting rod 34 is fixedly connected between the middle parts of the first pin rod 31 and the second pin rod 32, and the ends of the first pin rod 31 and the second pin rod 32 are both open. Generally, only one end of a traditional cotter pin is open, so the end that is not open can easily be hooked by objects such as wire and then pulled out, which is not conducive to anti-theft. Therefore, both ends of the cotter pin 3 of the utility model are open, and it can only be pulled out by clamping it with tools such as pliers and requiring great force. This structure is also conducive to improving the anti-theft effect.

[0029] Furthermore, two positioning protrusions 33 on the first pin rod 31 and the second pin rod 32 of the utility model are provided on both sides of the connecting rod 34, which can further make it difficult to pull out the cotter pin 3 after being inserted into the tail hole 121 of the screw, thereby improving the anti-theft effect.

[0030] Furthermore, the positioning protrusion 33 includes an outer arched surface 331 that arches outward and fits in the positioning recess 122, and a recessed surface 332 located on the inner side. The threaded column 12 is provided with a socket 123 at the end away from the head 11, which penetrates to the two recessed surfaces 332 corresponding to the first pin rod 31 and the second pin rod 32. An insertion rod 4 is inserted into the insertion hole 123 with interference fit, and the end of the insertion rod 4 is abutted between the two recessed surfaces 332 corresponding to the first pin rod 31 and the second pin rod 32. In this way, it is difficult to pull out the cotter pin 3, thereby achieving a good anti-theft effect.

[0031] Among them, an easy-insertion chamfer 41 is provided at the end of the insertion rod 4, which is convenient for being inserted between the two recessed surfaces 332 corresponding to the first pin rod 31 and the second pin rod 32. Because the first pin rod 31 and the second pin rod 32 are inserted into the screw tail hole 121, although the cotter pin 3 has a certain deformation reset ability, the positioning protrusion 33 may also be deformed. However, as the insertion rod 4 is inserted through the easy-insertion chamfer 41, the positioning protrusion 33 can be stretched open, so that the positioning protrusion 33 is pressed by the insertion rod 4 in the positioning recess 122.

[0032] In the present invention, the head 11 of the screw 1 is provided with a hexagonal star-shaped special-shaped hole 111, and a protrusion 112 is also provided in the middle of the special-shaped hole 111. Therefore, a special tool is required to enable the wrench to rotate the screw 1. The special tool is as follows: Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the anti-theft effect of the utility model can be further improved.

[0033] When the present invention is in use, after the nut 2 is tightened on the threaded column 12 of the screw rod 1, the cotter pin 3 is inserted into the nut groove 22 and the screw tail hole 121, and the two ends of the first pin rod 31 and the second pin rod 32 in the cotter pin 3 are opened outward to prevent the nut 2 and the screw rod 1 from rotating relative to each other, thereby achieving a good anti-loosening effect. Because the first pin rod 31 and the second pin rod 32 in the cotter pin 3 of the present invention are both provided with a positioning protrusion 33 bent and protruding toward the outside, and the two sides of the screw tail hole 121 are provided with a positioning recess 122 for the positioning protrusion 33 to be inserted into, after the cotter pin 3 is inserted into the screw tail hole 121, it is difficult to be pulled out. Then, the insertion rod 4 is inserted through the insertion hole 123 between the two recessed surfaces 332 corresponding to the first pin rod 31 and the second pin rod 32, so that it is difficult to pull out the cotter pin 3, thereby achieving a good anti-theft effect.

[0034] It should also be pointed out that the terms used in the present invention, such as "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only used to facilitate the description of the present invention and simplify the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction.
