Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] The working principle of the nut is to use the friction between the nut and the bolt for self-locking. However, the reliability of this self-locking will be reduced due to the influence of vibration. In some important occasions, we will take some anti-loosening measures to ensure the reliability of the nut locking. Locking nuts are one of the anti-loosening measures.

[0003] In the prior art, it is common to add some auxiliary accessories to the nut to assist the nut in achieving a better locking function. For example, the locking nut disclosed in the patent authorization announcement number CN 218151962 U is provided with a locking spring sheet and a support column to assist the nut in locking. This structure is complex and the manufacturing cost is high. Utility Model Content

[0010] The utility model is further configured such that the first nut and the second nut are separately configured.

[0011] The utility model is further configured such that the first nut and the second nut are integrally configured, and the other end face of the first nut is fixedly connected to the second nut.

[0012] The utility model is further configured that the second nut is a hexagonal nut, and the outer diameter of the second nut is greater than the outer diameter of the first nut.

[0013] The utility model is further configured such that the width of the deformation groove in the axial direction of the first nut gradually decreases from the middle to both ends.

[0014] The utility model is further configured that protruding extrusion parts are provided on the two end surfaces of the first nut.

[0015] The utility model is further configured such that the width of the deformation groove in the axial direction of the first nut gradually decreases from the middle to both ends.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0017] The step nut with a locking structure provided by the utility model has a first nut whose extrusion portion is squeezed and deformed into the deformation groove after being tightened, so that the thread teeth of the first nut and the bolt tend to be misaligned, thereby forming a locking force and improving the locking ability of the nut. The structure is simple and the manufacturing cost is low. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to 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 the embodiments. 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.

[0025] For reference Figure 1-4 The utility model is described as follows:

[0026] Embodiment 1: A step nut with a locking structure comprises a nut body, the nut body comprising a first nut 1 and a second nut 2, the first nut 1 is a circular ring, the second nut 2 is a hexagonal nut, the outer diameter of the second nut 2 is larger than the outer diameter of the first nut 1, the inner diameter of the first nut 1 is the same as the inner diameter of the second nut 2, the inner side walls of the first nut 1 and the second nut 2 are both provided with internal threads, and the first nut 1 and the second nut 2 are integrally arranged.

[0027] A deformation groove 3 is provided on the outer side of the first nut 1. The deformation groove 3 is in a semicircular shape and is connected to the interior of the first nut 1. The axial width of the deformation groove 3 gradually decreases from the middle to both ends of the first nut 1.

[0028] A protruding extrusion portion 4 is provided on one end face of the first nut 1, and the other end face of the first nut 1 is fixedly connected to the second nut 2. The extrusion portion 4 is provided corresponding to the deformation groove 3, and the extrusion portion 4 is a semicircular ring. The thickness of the extrusion portion 4 is smaller than the axial width of the deformation groove 3 in the first nut 1, and the thickness of the extrusion portion 4 gradually decreases from the middle to both ends.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the nut body is connected to the bolt, and the second nut 2 is tightened using a wrench tool. As the nut is tightened, the extrusion portion 4 on the first nut 1 is squeezed against the fixed part, and the position of the extrusion portion 4 on the first nut 1 is deformed toward the deformation groove 3. In this way, the thread tooth structure of the first nut 1 and the bolt tends to be misaligned, thereby forming a locking force.
