[0024] The technical solution of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the present invention.

[0025] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, so once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings. At the same time, in the description of the present utility model, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The utility model provides a tower crane standard section connecting bolt anti-loosening device. In the prior art, in the standard section fixed connecting bolt, no flat washers are installed at the bolts and the nut 50. Some of them add a spring washer on the nut 50 side to prevent the nut 50 from loosening and other wrong methods. Some use spring washers, but the spring washers themselves cannot withstand strong pre-tightening forces, and will be directly crushed by long-term torque changes. Not only can they not play a role in preventing loosening, but they will cause high-strength bolts with insufficient pre-tightening forces to loosen, and will also bring safety hazards after connection failure. In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model sets a standard section connecting bolt anti-loosening device to prevent the bolts from loosening, thereby effectively ensuring the safe operation of the tower crane standard section connecting bolts under the nominal tightening torque.

[0027] This embodiment is explained by taking the application of the connecting bolt anti-loosening device on the connecting bolts of the standard section of a tower crane as an example. In addition to the above application scenarios, it can also be applied to other equipment that requires bolt anti-loosening, and is not limited to the scenarios listed in this embodiment.

[0028] The tower crane standard section connecting bolts are installed on the outer wall of the connecting body, and the outer wall of the connecting body can be the standard section main chord rod. The standard section connecting bolts are arranged on the outer side wall of the standard section main chord rod, such as Figure 5 As shown, a nut 50 is arranged on the top of the connecting bolt, and the nut 50 is selected as a hexagonal nut 50. The anti-loosening device mainly includes a load-bearing arm 10 and a hollow connecting ring 20. During use, the nut 50 is placed in the connecting ring 20, and a plurality of anti-retraction grooves 21 are arranged in the connecting ring 20. Some sharp corners of the nut 50 can be clamped in the anti-retraction grooves 21, so that the nut 50 cannot rotate arbitrarily in the connecting ring 20. In addition, the load-bearing arm 10 is arranged outside the connecting ring 20, and the side wall of the load-bearing arm 10 is horizontal and can fit with the outer side of the main chord, thereby increasing the contact area between the load-bearing arm 10 and the main chord of the standard section, reducing the pressure between the load-bearing arm 10 and the main chord, preventing the load-bearing point of the standard section bolt from being squeezed and deformed, and further preventing the nut 50 from being displaced and withdrawn, ensuring that the preload force is continuously effective, and through the joint action of the connecting ring 20 and the load-bearing arm 10, the nut 50 can be effectively prevented from loosening, thereby tightening the overall connection.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, the force arm 10 and the connecting ring 20 are integrally formed, and the force arm 10 extends outward along the tangent direction of both sides of the connecting ring 20 to form a water drop shape. During the processing, ordinary steel plates with a length of 80mm*80mm and a thickness of 20mm and above can be selected, and operations such as hole opening and cutting can be performed to form them, and then punching and tapping are performed to remove burrs, etc. The final product has a yield strength of 345Mpa, a tensile strength of 490-620Mpa, and can withstand a maximum torque of 250N.M, which fully meets the tightening torque requirements of the standard section bolts of the tower crane.

[0030] In order to make the device have a better anti-loosening effect, a plurality of anti-backoff protrusions 22 are arranged in the connecting ring 20. The anti-backoff protrusion 22 is semicircular, and an anti-loosening groove is formed between two adjacent anti-backoff protrusions 22. The sharp corner of the hexagonal nut 50 is arranged in the anti-loosening groove. The anti-backoff protrusion 22 is preferably semicircular. Its function is to form an anti-backoff groove 21 with a relatively small angle, so that the difficulty of rotational displacement of the nut 50 is further increased. In this embodiment, it is preferred that there are 18 anti-backoff protrusions 22, and the angle of the anti-backoff groove 21 formed is 20°. If the number of anti-backoff protrusions 22 is reduced, the angle of the corresponding anti-backoff groove 21 will become larger, which is not conducive to tightening. If the number of anti-backoff protrusions 22 is large, it is not conducive to use and installation. Therefore, 18 anti-backoff protrusions 22 are the optimal implementation scheme.

[0031] In order to reinforce the anti-loosening device, a through hole is also opened on the connecting ring 20, and a fastener 30 is arranged on the through hole. The fastener 30 can be a screw or other structure to further strengthen the anti-loosening effect.

[0032] In order to enable the structure of the device to be used in a more complex environment and to have the characteristics of corrosion resistance and rainwater erosion resistance, a protective cap 40 is also provided. A groove is provided inside the protective cap 40, and the protective cap 40 is provided on the top of the connecting ring 20, and the top of the bolt is placed in the groove. The protective cap 40 is used for overall protection and shielding, so as to achieve the purpose of increasing the service life.

[0033] The above is only a specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, which should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
