AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing nuts are prone to loosening when affected by vibration, and the deformation degree of the anti-slip sleeve is uncontrollable and cannot be actively dislocated to lock.

Method used

A locking nut is designed. One end of the nut body is equipped with a locking ring. Two cutting grooves are provided on the locking ring. The cutting groove is connected to the threaded hole, and the locking screws are threadedly connected to the threaded hole. By tightening the locking screw, the cutting groove and the thread structure are dislocated to form a locking state, and the opening angle of the cutting groove is controlled.

Benefits of technology

The nut is controlledly dislocated and locked after being tightened, which enhances the resistance to loosening and can effectively resist the loosening problems caused by vibration.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fasteners, in particular to a locking nut. Background Art

[0002] Nut is a common fastener with simple structure and easy use. It is widely used in fasteners. Currently, nuts are available in various forms. After being tightened, nuts are prone to loosening due to vibration.

[0003] In response to the above problems, the patent with patent authorization announcement number CN 213451277 U discloses a double-grooved nut with anti-loosening face teeth; the patent with patent authorization announcement number CN 209856195 U discloses a double-grooved nut with flange surface thread anti-loosening.

[0004] In the above-mentioned prior art, an annular anti-slip sleeve is added to the nut, and a groove is set on the anti-slip sleeve. After the nut is locked, the anti-slip sleeve will deform in the radial direction, so that the anti-slip sleeve and the threaded structure on the bolt are misaligned, forming an anti-slip locking structure to achieve the purpose of preventing loosening.

[0005] The existing nut with a slot structure has a limited and uncontrollable degree of deformation and cannot be actively deformed. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the problems pointed out in the background technology, the utility model proposes a locking nut to solve the above technical problems.

[0007] The technical solution of the utility model is achieved in this way:

[0008] A locking nut comprises a nut body, a locking ring is provided at one end of the nut body, a groove is provided on the locking ring, a threaded hole is provided on the end face of the locking ring, the threaded hole is arranged corresponding to the groove, the threaded hole is connected to the groove, and a locking screw is connected to the inner thread of the threaded hole.

[0009] The utility model is further configured that two cutting grooves are provided, the two cutting grooves are arranged at intervals in the axial direction of the locking ring, and the two cutting grooves are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the locking ring.

[0010] The utility model is further configured such that one cutting groove has at least one locking screw corresponding thereto.

[0011] The utility model is further configured that the locking ring is in a circular shape, and the locking ring is coaxially arranged with the nut body.

[0012] The utility model is further configured that the end of the locking screw is provided with a hexagonal operating hole.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0014] The locking nut provided by the utility model can operate the locking screw after the nut and the bolt are screwed together. As the locking screw is screwed, the locking screw abuts against the wall of the cutting groove, causing the cutting groove to gradually open and deform, causing the cutting groove and the thread structure on the bolt to be misaligned, thus forming a locking state. The opening angle of the cutting groove can be controllably adjusted by the locking screw. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
