DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The following will be combined with the attached embodiment of the present utility model Figure 1-5 , 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 5 As shown, the utility model discloses a T-nut assembly, including a first nut 1 and a second nut 2, wherein the upper end surface of the first nut 1 is slidably connected to two limit plates 3, the two limit plates 3 are symmetrically arranged one on the left and the other on the right, a hexagonal groove 31 is commonly provided between the limit plates 3, a snap mechanism is provided on the end of the limit plate 3 that contacts the other limit plate 3, the second nut 2 is an external hexagonal nut, the outer contour of the second nut 2 is consistent with the cross-section of the internal hexagonal groove 31, and the thread directions of the first nut 1 and the second nut 2 are opposite.

[0028] The working principle of this structure is as follows: the snap-fit ​​mechanism is used to keep the two limit plates 3 in a retracted state. After the first nut 1 and the second nut 2 are both tightened on the threaded rod, according to the double-nut anti-loosening principle, the nut that is tightened first needs the nut that is tightened later to be loosened before it can be rotated and loosened. In this structure, as long as the limit plate 3 restricts the rotation of the second nut 2, since the first nut 1 and the second nut 2 are locked by the limit plate 3, no matter whether the first nut 1 or the second nut 2 is tightened first, the nut that is tightened later cannot be loosened, so the double-nut anti-loosening state can be maintained.

[0029] The specific setting scheme of the snap mechanism is: the snap mechanism includes a left snap block 41 and a right snap block 51, wherein the left snap block 41 and the right snap block 51 are arranged one left and one right with center symmetry, and the left end of the left snap block 41 and the right end of the right snap block 51 are both provided with a connecting plate 61. In this structure, the connecting plate 61 is used to connect with the limiting plate 3 on the same side thereof, a first inclined surface 42 is formed between the right end face and the lower end face of the left snap block 41, a second inclined surface 52 is formed between the left end face and the upper end face of the right snap block 51, the left end face of the left snap block 41 and the right end face of the right snap block 51 are vertical surfaces, the left snap block 41 and the right snap block 51 are both protruding from the limiting plate 3, and the left end face of the left snap block 41 is used to abut against the right end face of the right snap block 51.

[0030] Furthermore, a slide groove 62 is opened in the limit plate 3, and the connecting plate 61 is slidably arranged in the slide groove 62, and a first elastic pushing member 63 for pushing the connecting plate 61 along the up and down directions is provided in the slide groove 62. The first elastic pushing members 63 on the two limit plates 3 are respectively located above the left buckle block 41 and below the right buckle block 51.

[0031] Furthermore, the limiting plate 3 where the left buckle block 41 is located is provided with a first accommodating groove 43 below the slide groove 62, and the limiting plate 3 where the right buckle block 51 is located is provided with a second accommodating groove 53 above the slide groove 62. The first accommodating groove 43 and the second accommodating groove 53 are respectively used for inserting the right buckle block 51 and the left buckle block 41.

[0032] The working principle of this structure is as follows: in the process of the limit plates 3 approaching each other, when the left buckle block 41 and the right buckle block 51 first abut against each other, the first inclined surface 42 and the second inclined surface 52 can be used to push the right buckle block 51 and the left buckle block 41 to slide respectively, so that they move away from each other. When the right end face of the left buckle block 41 moves to the left side of the left end face of the right buckle block 51, the first elastic pushing member 63 makes the left buckle block 41 and the right buckle block 51 approach each other. At this time, the left end face of the left buckle block 41 will abut against the right end face of the right buckle block 51, so that the two limit plates 3 remain in a retracted state.

[0033] A fixing plate 64 is provided in the first accommodating groove 43 and the second accommodating groove 53 so as to slide up and down. A second elastic pushing member 65 is provided on the side of the fixing plate 64 away from the sliding groove 62. A chamfer 641 is provided on the end of the fixing plate 64 in the first accommodating groove 43 that faces the opening of the first accommodating groove 43. A chamfer 641 is also provided on the end of the fixing plate 64 in the second accommodating groove 53 that faces the opening of the second accommodating groove 53.

[0034] When the left buckle block 41 is about to enter the second accommodating groove 53, the chamfer 641 of the fixed plate 64 in the second accommodating groove 53 first abuts against the left buckle block 41. At this time, the left buckle block 41 can push the fixed plate 64 to slide upward and thereby enter the second accommodating groove 53. After the left buckle block 41 completely enters the second accommodating groove 53, the fixed plate 64 is pressed on the left buckle block 41 under the action of the second elastic pushing member 65, thereby further preventing the left buckle block 41 from leaving the second accommodating groove 53. The principle of the right buckle block 51 is similar to that of the left buckle block 41, so it is not repeated.

[0035] The first elastic pushing member 63 and the second elastic pushing member 65 are both springs, and the springs are fixedly connected to the limiting plate 3 .

[0036] 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.
