Based on the implementation in this application, all other implementations obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application. The implementation of this application is described in detail below in combination with the drawings.
[0015] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the present application provides an anti-loosening fastener with a retained bolt lightening hole, comprising a clamp ring 1, a nut 2, a fastened part 3, and a bolt 4, wherein:
[0016] The clamping ring 1 has a first key tooth 5 and a second key tooth 6; the bolt 4 has a first key groove 8, and the nut 2 has a second key groove 7; the bolt 4 passes through the fastened part 3 and is threadedly connected with the nut 2, the first key tooth 5 of the clamping ring 1 cooperates with the first key groove 8 to stop, and the second key tooth 6 cooperates with the second key groove 7 to stop.
[0017] Preferably, the end faces of the collar 1 and the nut 2 are provided with screw holes, and the collar 1 and the nut 2 are fastened and connected through the screw holes.
[0018] Preferably, the first keyway 8 is located at the outer edge of the bolt 4, the second keyway 7 is located at the outer edge of the nut 2, the inner edge of the retaining ring 1 radially protrudes inward to form a first key tooth 5, and the outer edge of the retaining ring 1 radially protrudes outward to form a second key tooth 6. During installation, at least a portion of the first keyway 8 of the bolt 4 protrudes from the end face of the nut 2 to cooperate with the retaining ring 1.
[0019] Preferably, the first key teeth 5, the second key teeth 6, the first key grooves 8 and the second key grooves 7 are each composed of a plurality of circumferentially distributed ones.
[0020] Preferably, the bolt 4 has a central lightening hole at its center.
[0021] In another embodiment, not shown in the drawings, the first keyway 8 is located at the edge of the central lightening hole of the bolt 4 .
[0022] Preferably, the clamping ring 1 includes multiple models, and the angular positions of adjacent first key teeth 5 and second key teeth 6 of each model are different.
[0023] When installing the structure, first install the fastened parts 3 and the bolts 4 in place, then tighten the nut 2, and then install the clamping ring 1, and insert the first key teeth 5 and the second key teeth 6 on the clamping ring 1 into the first key groove 8 and the second key groove 7 on the nut 2 and the bolt 4 respectively, and finally connect and fix the clamping ring 1 and the nut 2 together with screws.
[0024] During use, when the bolt 4 or nut 2 tends to rotate relative to each other due to the friction of the parts, the torque is transmitted to the nut 2 or bolt 4 through the clamp ring 1 to ensure that the movement state of the two is consistent, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing loosening.
