Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bolts, in particular to an anti-loosening bolt assembly. Background Art

[0002] At present, bolts, as cylindrical threaded fasteners matched with nuts, are often used to fasten and connect two parts with through holes. Various mechanical equipment, bridges, railways, tools and instruments require a variety of bolts.

[0003] The bolt consists of two parts: the head and the screw, and needs to be used in conjunction with the nut. During the operation of mechanical equipment, especially when running at high speeds, the nut may gradually loosen along the grain. If not maintained in time, it may easily cause production and construction accidents.

[0004] In the related technology, nut structures such as friction anti-loosening or riveting anti-loosening are mostly used. Among them, friction anti-loosening is to increase the pressure and friction between the thread pairs to prevent relative rotation, which is convenient for the disassembly of the nut; riveting anti-loosening is to use punching, welding, bonding and other methods after tightening the anti-loosening nut to make the thread pair lose the characteristics of the kinematic pair and become an inseparable connection.

[0005] However, in the case of impact, vibration and variable load, the bolts of the friction anti-loosening structure will loosen, resulting in a decrease in preload. As the number of vibrations increases, the preload loss slowly increases, eventually causing the nut to loosen and the threaded connection to fail. The anti-loosening nut of the riveting anti-loosening structure can only be used once, and it is very difficult to disassemble. The anti-loosening nut bolt pair must be destroyed before it can be disassembled, resulting in the inability to achieve a detachable connection between the bolt and the nut. Utility Model Content

[0037] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0038] The embodiment of the present application provides an anti-loosening bolt assembly, which can solve the technical problem in the related art that the detachable connection of the bolt and the anti-loosening function of the nut cannot be satisfied at the same time.

[0039] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of the anti-loosening bolt assembly of this embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, the anti-loosening bolt assembly of this embodiment includes a bolt 1, a nut assembly and a magnetic limiting ring 4.

[0040] The bolt 1 comprises a screw rod 11 , and a guide anti-rotation groove 12 is provided on the screw rod 11 along the longitudinal direction.

[0041] The nut assembly comprises a nut body 2 and a magnetic washer 3. The nut body 2 is provided with a threaded hole adapted to the bolt 1 and is sleeved on the bolt 1 to adapt to the bolt 1. The magnetic washer 3 is fixed to one end of the nut body 2 and is located at the end of the nut body 2 away from the head of the bolt 1.

[0042] The magnetic limiting collar 4 is slidably mounted on the screw 11 and is provided with an anti-rotation key 40 that matches the guide anti-rotation groove 12. The magnetic limiting collar 4 is used to be mounted on the screw 11 and magnetically connected to the magnetic backing ring 3 when the nut body 2 is tightened.

[0043] In the anti-loosening bolt assembly of the present embodiment, when the nut body is tightened on the bolt, the magnetic limit collar can be sleeved on the above-mentioned screw rod, and the relative rotation between the magnetic limit collar and the bolt can be limited by the cooperation between the anti-rotation key of the magnetic limit collar and the guide anti-rotation groove of the screw rod. The magnetic limit collar and the magnetic gasket are magnetically connected to achieve a fixed connection between the magnetic limit collar and the nut body, thereby limiting the relative rotation between the nut body and the bolt and preventing the nut body from loosening. In addition, through the magnetic connection method, not only can the magnetic limit collar be prevented from detaching from the nut body in different bolt installation orientations without external force, but also the nut can be disassembled without damage under a certain external force, which satisfies the detachable connection of the bolt and realizes the function of completely preventing loosening.

[0044] In this embodiment, the bolt 1 further comprises a bolt head, and the guide anti-rotation groove 12 is located at an end of the screw rod 11 away from the bolt head and extends from the end surface of the screw rod 11 away from the bolt head toward the bolt head. The length of the guide anti-rotation groove 12 can be set as required.

[0045] Preferably, the nut body 2 and the magnetic backing ring 3 are integrally formed.

[0046] Optionally, the nut body 2 and the magnetic backing ring 3 are non-detachably fixedly connected.

[0047] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the end face of the magnetic washer 3 away from the nut body 2 is provided with a first ratchet ring 31, and the end face of the magnetic limiting ring 4 facing the magnetic washer 3 is provided with a second ratchet ring 421, and the second ratchet ring 421 can be meshed with the first ratchet ring 31 at any angle, so as to lock the nut at any angle.

[0048] In this embodiment, when the first ratchet ring 31 is meshed with the second ratchet ring 421 , the nut body 2 can be further restricted from rotating in a direction of disengaging from the bolt 1 .

[0049] Preferably, the magnetic limiting ring 4 is made of permanent magnetic material.

[0050] In this embodiment, the magnetic limiting collar 4 and the anti-rotation key 40 and the second ratchet ring 421 thereon are integrally made of permanent magnetic material.

[0051] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, in this embodiment, the magnetic limiting ring 4 includes a magnetic limiting ring 41 and an anti-loosening washer 42 .

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, the end surface of the magnetic stop ring 41 is provided with a plurality of accommodating grooves 411 along the circumferential direction, and each accommodating groove 411 is provided with a magnet 412. The magnetic stop ring 41 is also provided with a first through hole for the screw 11 to pass through, and the anti-rotation key 40 is provided on the inner wall of the first through hole.

[0053] When the magnetic limiting ring 41 is sleeved on the screw 11 , the anti-rotation key 40 on the inner wall of the first through hole is located in the guide anti-rotation groove 12 of the screw 11 to limit the relative rotation between the magnetic limiting ring 41 and the screw 11 .

[0054] The anti-loosening washer 42 is connected to the magnetic limiting ring 41 and fixedly connected to one end of the magnetic limiting ring 41 provided with a magnet 412. The anti-loosening washer 42 is provided with a second through hole, and the second through hole at least partially exposes each of the accommodating grooves 411. Therefore, the second through hole also needs to be passed through by the screw 11, and the aperture of the second through hole is larger than the aperture of the first through hole.

[0055] In this embodiment, by fixing the magnetic limiting ring 41 and the anti-loosening washer 42 to form a magnetic limiting collar, the relative rotation between the nut assembly and the screw rod 11 can be effectively avoided, thereby realizing the anti-loosening function of the nut assembly.

[0056] In this embodiment, the end surface of the anti-loosening washer 42 away from the magnetic limiting ring 41 is provided with the second ratchet ring 421 for engaging with the first ratchet ring 31 of the magnetic washer 3 .

[0057] Optionally, the first through hole and the second through hole are coaxially arranged.

[0058] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, in this embodiment, the anti-loosening washer 42 is detachably fixedly connected to the magnetic limiting ring 41 .

[0059] In this embodiment, the anti-loosening gasket 42 is detachably fixedly connected to the above-mentioned magnetic limiting ring 41. When the magnet 412 in the accommodating groove 411 needs to be replaced, the anti-loosening gasket 42 can be removed first, and then the anti-loosening gasket 42 can be fixedly connected to the magnetic limiting ring 41 after the replacement is completed.

[0060] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, in this embodiment, when there is no need to replace the magnet 412 , the anti-loosening washer 42 is non-detachably fixedly connected to the magnetic limiting ring 41 .

[0061] Furthermore, the accommodating groove 411 is a step through groove, which includes a large groove and a small groove that are interconnected, and the large groove of the step through groove is arranged close to the anti-loosening gasket 42 .

[0062] The magnet 412 is located in the large groove of the step through groove and abuts against the step surface of the step through groove.

[0063] In this embodiment, the accommodating groove 411 is set as a stepped groove, so that when the magnet 412 needs to be replaced or removed, a rod with an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the small groove of the stepped groove is extended from the small groove to push the magnet 412 out of the large groove of the stepped groove.

[0064] Optionally, the large groove and the small groove of the step through groove may be coaxially arranged or non-coaxially arranged.

[0065] In this embodiment, the magnet 412 is a cylindrical magnet, and its outer diameter is adapted to the large slot and is smaller than the small slot.

[0066] Preferably, the end surface of the magnetic limiting ring 41 facing the anti-loosening washer 42 is further provided with a boss 413, which is engaged with the anti-loosening washer 42. The boss 413 is provided with a plurality of avoidance gaps connected to the respective receiving grooves 411 along the circumferential direction. The plurality of avoidance gaps corresponds to the plurality of receiving grooves 411 one by one.

[0067] In this embodiment, the anti-loosening washer 42 is limited by the boss 413 to facilitate accurate positioning and connection between the anti-loosening washer 42 and the magnetic limiting ring 41 .

[0068] Optionally, the end surface of the magnetic limiting ring 41 facing the anti-loosening washer 42 is further provided with a plurality of plug-in grooves, and the end surface of the anti-loosening washer 42 is provided with a plurality of plug-in columns adapted to the plug-in grooves.

[0069] In this embodiment, the plurality of plug-in slots and the plurality of receiving slots 411 may be arranged at intervals.

[0070] In this embodiment, the anti-loosening washer 42 and the magnetic limiting ring 41 can also be accurately positioned and connected through the cooperation between the plug-in slot and the plug-in column.

[0071] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, in this embodiment, a groove notch 5 is formed on the surface of the anti-loosening washer 42 corresponding to the surface of the magnetic washer 3 .

[0072] In this embodiment, since the second ratchet ring 421 of the anti-loosening washer 42 is meshed with the first ratchet ring 31 of the magnetic washer 3, and the two are not easy to separate under the magnetic attraction force. By providing groove notches 5 corresponding to the opposite surfaces of the anti-loosening washer 42 and the magnetic washer 3, when the nut body 2 needs to be adjusted or disassembled, the magnetic anti-loosening washer 42 and the magnetic washer 3 are separated by external force at the groove notch 5, so as to realize the rapid disassembly of the bolt and nut.

[0073] In this embodiment, the first ratchet ring 31 of the magnetic washer 3 protrudes from the end face of the nut body 2, and the second ratchet ring 421 of the anti-loosening washer 42 protrudes from the end face of the boss 413 of the magnetic limiting ring 41 to avoid interference with the meshing of the first ratchet ring 31 and the second ratchet ring 421.

[0074] Preferably, the anti-loosening washer 42 is made of magnetic material, and the magnet 412 is a permanent magnet. The anti-loosening washer 42 and the magnetic limiting ring 41 are further tightly connected by the magnetic attraction force of the anti-loosening washer 42 and the magnetic limiting ring 41.

[0075] Optionally, the nut body 2 is a magnetic nut to achieve a further tight connection between the nut body 2 and the magnetic limiting ring.

[0076] When the anti-loosening bolt assembly of this embodiment is used, it specifically includes:

[0077] First, insert the bolt 1 into the desired connection part;

[0078] Then, according to normal operation, the nut assembly is inserted into the bolt 1 to the position where locking is required, and the magnetic washer 3 is located on the side of the nut body 2 away from the bolt head;

[0079] Finally, the magnetic limit collar 4 is sleeved on the screw 11 so that the anti-rotation key 40 is located in the guide anti-rotation groove 12, forming a non-rotatable plug-in fit between the magnetic limit collar 4 and the screw 11, and moving until the second ratchet ring 421 engages with the first ratchet ring 31, and the magnetic limit collar 4 is attracted to the nut assembly.

[0080] The anti-loosening bolt of this embodiment can prevent the bolt 1 from loosening due to external factors such as vibration, and can prevent the magnetic limit collar from being separated from the nut body even if the nut assembly is located below the required connecting component. Without changing the detachable effect of the bolt 1, it has important significance for production safety and production efficiency in various industries.
