[0008] In a possible implementation manner, the first pin hole has a first diameter d1, the second pin hole has a second diameter d2, and 0.9≤d1 / d2≤0.95.
[0009] In a possible implementation manner, the outer sleeve is provided with a first through hole along the axial direction of the slender portion, and the slender portion is connected to the fastening carrier after passing through the first through hole.
[0010] In a possible implementation, a third internal thread segment is disposed at the first through hole at the second end of the outer sleeve, and the third internal thread segment cooperates with the second external thread segment.
[0011] In a possible implementation, the first external thread segment has a first length L1, the third internal thread segment has a second length L2, and 0.2≤L2 / L1≤0.3.
[0012] In a possible implementation, the nominal diameter of the first external thread segment is d3, the diameter of the first through hole is d4, and 1 / 4≤d4 / d3≤1 / 3.
[0013] In a possible implementation manner, a third groove is provided at one end of the pin shaft away from the inner sleeve.
[0014] In a possible implementation, the fastener is provided with a second through hole for the second end of the outer sleeve to pass through, the fastening carrier is provided with a first internal thread segment matching with the first external thread segment, and the fastening carrier is provided with a second internal thread segment matching with the second external thread segment.
[0015] The above technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

Since the threads of the first external thread section and the second external thread section have opposite rotation directions, taking the example that the thread of the first external thread section is set as a right-hand thread and the thread of the second external thread section is set as a left-hand thread, if the outer sleeve is vibrated by external force and rotates counterclockwise or tends to rotate counterclockwise, the inner sleeve is tightened counterclockwise under the action of friction, and since the pin shaft connects the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve as a whole, the force between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve can prevent the outer sleeve from loosening counterclockwise; similarly, if the inner sleeve is vibrated by external force and rotates clockwise or tends to rotate clockwise, then the outer sleeve is tightened clockwise under the action of friction, and since the pin shaft connects the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve as a whole, the force between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve can prevent the inner sleeve from loosening clockwise, thereby improving the connection reliability.

[0033] In order to solve the technical problem that existing conventional fasteners are easily affected by external force vibration and become loose, resulting in low connection reliability, the present application provides a composite fastener that can prevent the inner set or the outer set from loosening and improve the connection reliability.
[0034] Figure 1A composite fastener 1 provided in an embodiment of the present application is used to install a fastener 2 to be fastened on a fastening carrier 3. The composite fastener 1 includes an outer set 11, an inner set 12 and a pin 13. The outer set 11 has a first end 111 and a second end 112 arranged opposite to each other. The second end 112 of the outer set 11 is provided with a first external thread section 112a. The second end 112 of the outer set 11 passes through the fastener 2 to be fastened and is connected to the fastening carrier 3. The inner set 12 can be coaxially arranged with the outer set 11. The inner sleeve 12 is provided with a slender portion 121, which is embedded in the outer sleeve 11, and an end of the slender portion 121 away from the first end 111 of the outer sleeve 11 is provided with a second external thread segment 121a, and the thread rotation directions of the first external thread segment 112a and the second external thread segment 121a are opposite, and one end of the slender portion 121 provided with the second external thread segment 121a passes through the outer sleeve 11 and is connected to the fastening carrier 3; one end of the pin shaft 13 is connected to both the outer sleeve 11 and the inner sleeve 12.
[0035] The fastener 2 can be a flange of a motor, a large plate of an equipment, etc., and the fastening carrier 3 can be a wall, a ground, a mounting plate, etc. For example, if the air conditioner needs to be installed on a wall, then the air conditioner is the fastener 2 in the embodiment of the present application, and the wall is the fastening carrier 3 in the embodiment of the present application. It should be noted that the thread of the first external thread segment 112a can be set as a right-handed thread, and the thread of the second external thread segment 121a is set as a left-handed thread; or, the thread of the first external thread segment 112a can be set as a left-handed thread, and the thread of the second external thread segment 121a is set as a right-handed thread. It can be understood that if Figure 2 As shown, during installation, the outer set 11 is first passed through the fastener 2 and screwed on the fastening carrier 3, so that the outer set 11 is fixedly connected to the fastening carrier 3; then the inner set 12 is passed through the outer set 11 and screwed on the fastening carrier 3, so that the inner set 12 is fixedly connected to the fastening carrier 3, and the pin 13 is simultaneously connected to the outer set 11 and the inner set 12, so that a hard connection is formed between the outer set 11 and the inner set 12, as shown in FIG. Figure 3As shown. Since the first external thread segment 112a and the second external thread segment 121a have opposite thread directions, the thread of the first external thread segment 112a is set as a right-hand thread, and the thread of the second external thread segment 121a is set as a left-hand thread. If the outer sleeve 11 rotates counterclockwise or tends to rotate counterclockwise due to external force vibration, the inner sleeve 12 is tightened counterclockwise under the action of friction. Since the pin 13 connects the inner sleeve 12 and the outer sleeve 11 as a whole, the force between the inner sleeve 12 and the outer sleeve 11 can prevent the outer sleeve 11 from loosening counterclockwise. Similarly, if the inner sleeve 12 rotates clockwise or tends to rotate clockwise due to external force vibration, the outer sleeve 11 is tightened clockwise under the action of friction. Since the pin 13 connects the inner sleeve 12 and the outer sleeve 11 as a whole, the force between the inner sleeve 12 and the outer sleeve 11 can prevent the inner sleeve 12 from loosening clockwise, thereby improving the connection reliability.
[0036] In some embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first end 111 of the outer sleeve 11 is provided with a first positioning portion 113, and the first positioning portion 113 is provided with a first pin hole 113a along the axial direction of the pin shaft 13 on the side away from the second end 112; the inner sleeve 12 has a second positioning portion 122 connected to the elongated portion 121, and the elongated portion 121 and the second positioning portion 122 are integrally provided, and the second positioning portion 122 is provided with a second pin hole 122a corresponding to the first pin hole 113a along the axial direction of the pin shaft 13, and one end of the pin shaft 13 passes through the second pin hole 122a and the first pin hole 113a in sequence. One end of the pin shaft 13 is inserted into the first pin hole 113a and the second pin hole 122a in sequence, so that the outer sleeve 11 and the inner sleeve 12 form a hard connection, and the pin shaft 13 can provide a fastening force to prevent the outer sleeve 11 or the inner sleeve 12 from being loosened relative to the fastening carrier 3 due to external force vibration, and further improve the connection reliability.
[0037] The first positioning portion 113 is provided with a first groove 113b on the side away from the second end 112, and the first groove 113b is preferably set to a regular hexagon so that it can be tightened with a common tool in the industry. The second positioning portion 122 is provided with a second groove 122b on the side away from the elongated portion 121, and the second groove 122b is preferably set to a regular hexagon so that it can be tightened with a common tool in the industry. After the inner kit 12 is connected to the fastening carrier 3, the side of the second positioning portion 122 facing the fastening carrier 3 is tightly fitted with the first groove 113b.
[0038] In some embodiments, Figure 4As shown, a plurality of first pin holes 113a are provided, and the plurality of first pin holes 113a are distributed in a ring shape with the elongated portion 121 of the inner sleeve 12 as the center. Specifically, the plurality of first pin holes 113a are evenly distributed in a ring shape with the elongated portion 121 of the inner sleeve 12 as the center. The plurality of first pin holes 113a are provided so that after the inner sleeve 12 is rotated and tightened, the second pin hole 122a is aligned with one of the first pin holes 113a, and the installation of the pin shaft 13 is more convenient.
[0039] like Figure 6 As shown, the first pin hole 113a has a first diameter d1, and the second pin hole 122a has a second diameter d2, 0.9≤d1 / d2≤0.95. Since the inner sleeve 12 needs to be rotated to align the second pin hole 122a with one of the first pin holes 113a, the second pin hole 122a is set to be slightly smaller than the first pin hole 113a, so that the pin shaft 13 can be inserted into the first pin hole 113a and the second pin hole 122a in sequence.
[0040] In some embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the outer sleeve 11 is provided with a first through hole 114 along the axial direction of the elongated portion 121, and the elongated portion 121 is connected to the fastening carrier 3 after passing through the first through hole 114. It should be noted that the cross section of the first through hole 114 can be set to a circular shape, a square shape, etc., which is not limited here. This embodiment shows that the cross section of the first through hole 114 is set to a circular shape, and the elongated portion 121 of the inner sleeve 12 is connected to the fastening carrier 3 after passing through the first through hole 114, and the first through hole 114 plays a role in positioning and guiding.
[0041] In some embodiments, the second end 112 of the outer sleeve 11 is provided with a third internal thread segment 112b at the first through hole 114, and the third internal thread segment 112b cooperates with the second external thread segment 121a. In some embodiments, the pin shaft 13 may not be installed, and only the thread cooperation between the third internal thread segment 112b and the second external thread segment 121a is used to achieve the purpose of preventing loosening by utilizing the friction between the inner sleeve 12 and the outer sleeve 11. Specifically, after the fastener 2 is installed on the fastening carrier 3 by the outer sleeve 11 and the inner sleeve 12 (without the pin shaft 13), if the outer sleeve 11 has a tendency to rotate counterclockwise due to external force vibration, the friction between the inner sleeve 12 and the outer sleeve 11 will apply a counterclockwise rotation force to the inner sleeve 12, thereby strengthening the locking of the inner sleeve 12, and the locking force of the inner sleeve 12 will prevent the outer sleeve 11 from loosening counterclockwise. Similarly, if the inner sleeve 12 is vibrated by external force and has a tendency to rotate clockwise, the friction force exerts a force on the outer sleeve 11 to rotate clockwise, thereby strengthening the locking of the outer sleeve 11. The locking force of the outer sleeve 11 will prevent the inner sleeve 12 from loosening clockwise, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing loosening. Therefore, by providing the third internal thread section 112b, the connection stability between the inner sleeve 12 and the outer sleeve 11 can be improved, and the anti-loosening performance of the composite fastener 1 can be further improved.
[0042] The length of the third internal thread segment 112b should not be too long, otherwise it will affect the normal connection between the inner sleeve 12 and the fastening carrier 3; the length of the third internal thread segment 112b should not be too short, otherwise the connection strength between the inner sleeve 12 and the outer sleeve 11 will be weak. Therefore, the first external thread segment 112a has a first length L1, and the third internal thread segment 112b has a second length L2, 0.2≤L2 / L1≤0.3, which can ensure sufficient connection strength between the inner sleeve 12 and the outer sleeve 11, and will not affect the normal connection between the inner sleeve 12 and the fastening carrier 3.
[0043] If the ratio between the nominal diameters of the first through hole 114 and the first external thread segment 112a is too large, the wall thickness of the second end 112 of the outer sleeve 11 will be too thin. Therefore, the nominal diameter of the first external thread segment 112a is d3, the diameter of the first through hole 114 is d4, and 1 / 4≤d4 / d3≤1 / 3, so that the second end 112 of the outer sleeve 11 has a suitable wall thickness, thereby ensuring that the outer sleeve 11 has sufficient structural strength.
[0044] In some embodiments, Figure 7As shown, a third groove 131 is provided on the circumferential side of the end of the pin shaft 13 away from the inner sleeve 12. The number of the third grooves 131 is not limited, and may include at least two third grooves 131 (as shown in the figure) or at least three third grooves 131 (not shown). The third grooves 131 may be the same or different. By providing the third grooves 131, it is convenient to clamp with tools, and it is also convenient to adjust the clamping force required for installing the pin shaft 13, so that the pin shaft 13 is easier to disassemble and assemble. The shape of the third groove 131 can be set to a square (not shown), a half-moon shape (as shown in the figure), etc., to facilitate manufacturing and processing.
[0045] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the fastener 2 is provided with a second through hole 21 for the second end 112 of the outer sleeve 11 to pass through, the fastening carrier 3 is provided with a first internal thread section 31 matched with the first external thread section 112a, and the fastening carrier 3 is provided with a second internal thread section 32 matched with the second external thread section 121a. During installation, firstly, the outer sleeve 11 is passed through the second through hole 21 of the fastener 2 and screwed on the fastening carrier 3, so that the outer sleeve 11 and the fastening carrier 3 are fixedly connected; then, the elongated portion 121 of the inner sleeve 12 is passed through the first through hole 114 of the outer sleeve 11 and screwed on the fastening carrier 3, so that the inner sleeve 12 and the fastening carrier 3 are fixedly connected, and the pin 13 is simultaneously plugged and connected to the outer sleeve 11 and the inner sleeve 12, so that a hard connection is formed between the outer sleeve 11 and the inner sleeve 12.

Those skilled in the art can enlarge or reduce the size according to the specific needs of use, or can enlarge or reduce one or several parts according to the proportion; and can also make appropriate changes to the shape of one or several parts under the premise of complying with the principle.
