[0020] In order to further explain the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined purpose of the utility model, the specific implementation method, structure, characteristics and effects of the present invention are described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0021] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the purpose of this embodiment is to provide a quick-installed automotive riding bolt, including a U-shaped bolt 1, the U-shaped bolt 1 includes a steel plate 11 and bolts 12 arranged on both sides of the steel plate 11, the bolts 12 are welded and installed on the outer wall of the steel plate 11, the steel plate 11 is a U-shaped structure, and the steel plate 11 is a bendable design, and also includes:

[0022] The bolt pressing plate 2 is installed on the U-shaped bolt 1 through the nylon locking nut 4 and is used to fix the workpiece. The U-shaped structure and bendable design of the steel plate 11 enable the U-shaped bolt to flexibly adapt to various installation environments and workpiece shapes.

[0023] Through holes are opened at both ends of the bolt pressure plate 2, and a mounting hole is opened at one end of the through hole, and the inner diameter of the mounting hole is larger than the through hole. The design of the inner diameter of the mounting hole being larger than the through hole allows the nylon locking nut 4 or other types of locking nuts to be more easily screwed in during the installation process, and due to the larger space, the locking nut can fit more closely on the bolt, thereby providing a stronger locking force and a more stable connection.

[0024] Both ends of the bolt 12 pass through the through hole, and the nylon locking nut 4 is installed in the mounting hole. A flat gasket 3 is provided on the top of the nylon locking nut 4. The bolt 12 has been welded to the steel plate 11. When installing, just pass the bolt through the through hole, then install the nylon locking nut 4 in the mounting hole and tighten it.

[0025] The bolt 12 is threadedly connected to the nylon locking nut 4. The nylon locking nut 4 can provide additional locking force after tightening due to its unique locking mechanism. This locking force helps prevent the nut from loosening under vibration or load, thereby improving the anti-loosening performance of the connection.

[0026] The steel plate 11 is made of alloy steel. When subjected to external force, the high-toughness alloy steel material can absorb more energy and deform, and is not prone to sudden breakage. This characteristic enables the steel plate to maintain good integrity and stability during the folding process, reducing the risk of breakage due to material brittleness. High-strength alloy steel materials usually have high fatigue resistance and can maintain good mechanical properties and stability during repeated folding.

[0027] The fasteners used for installing the U-bolt 1 are nuts of any locking type, which can be adapted to nuts of various locking types and used in various occasions and environments. Whether it is an industrial scene that requires high-strength locking, a chemical environment that requires corrosion resistance, or mechanical equipment that requires easy disassembly and maintenance, you can find a suitable nut for installation.

[0028] Working principle:

[0029] According to the shape of the specific workpiece and the requirements of the installation space, the steel plate 11 is placed at the predetermined position. If the installation surface is uneven or requires a special angle, the bendability of the steel plate 11 is used to gently adjust its shape to adapt to the installation surface to ensure stability. The bolt pressure plate 2 is placed above the steel plate 11 and aligned with the position of the workpiece to be fixed. Ensure that the through holes at both ends of the bolt pressure plate 2 correspond to the positions of the bolts 12 on both sides of the steel plate 11. The bolts 12 are inserted from the outer wall of the steel plate 11 through the through holes of the bolt pressure plate 2. Since the inner diameter of the installation hole is larger than the through hole, this provides space for the subsequent installation of the nylon locking nut 4. First, install the flat gasket 3 on the threaded part of the bolt 12 to increase the contact area and disperse the pressure. Screw the nylon locking nut 4 into the threaded part of the bolt 12 and gradually tighten it. The special material and design of the nylon locking nut 4 can provide a strong locking force during the tightening process to ensure the stability of the connection.

[0030] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention in any form. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any technical personnel in this field can make some changes or modify the technical contents disclosed above into equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any brief modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
