[0019] 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 in 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.

[0020] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution: a device for detecting the looseness of a nut, comprising a support frame 1, wherein the inner surface of the support frame 1 is provided with threads.

[0021] This technical solution utilizes the setting of the support frame 1. When the nut is tested for anti-loosening, the support frame 1 is placed on the screw rod, and then the support frame 1 is screwed, so that the support frame 1 drives the ring 4 and the fixing mechanism 6 to move downward at the same time. When the fixing mechanism 6 moves to align with the nut, the fixing mechanism 6 is used to fix the nut to complete the installation.

[0022] Embodiment 2: The technical content disclosed in this embodiment is an improvement made on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment 1. The existing detection device can only detect nuts of a specific type. When replacing nuts of different sizes, different types of devices are required, which increases the cost. At the same time, due to the limited contact area between the arc-shaped clamping plate and the outer wall of the nut, this fixing method is easily affected by external forces, causing the nut to loosen and affecting the detection results. The technical solution is as follows Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, a fixing mechanism 6 of a detection device is disclosed, wherein an open arc-shaped slide groove 2 is provided at the bottom end of the support frame 1, and a slider 3 is slidably connected in the slide groove 2, a collar 4 is fixedly connected at the bottom end of the slider 3, and a fixing mechanism 6 is fixedly connected at the bottom end of the collar 4, wherein the fixing mechanism 6 comprises: a fixing block 601, a threaded rod 602, a clamping plate 603 and a rubber pad 604, wherein the fixing block 601 is fixedly arranged on the collar 4, and the threaded rod 602 is threadedly connected in the collar 4, both left and right ends of the threaded rod 602 extend through the fixing block 601, and one end of the threaded rod 602 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the clamping plate 603, and one end of the clamping plate 603 away from the threaded rod 602 is fixedly connected to the rubber pad 604, a plurality of fixing blocks 601 are arranged in a circular array about the center point of the collar 4, and the clamping plate 603 is arranged in an arc-shaped structure.

[0023] In this technical solution, Figure 3 As shown, by utilizing the setting of the threaded rod 602, the rotating threaded rod 602 is threadedly engaged with the fixed block 601, driving the clamping plate 603 and the rubber pad 604 to move closer to or away from each other, thereby clamping nuts of different sizes and models. At the same time, the clamping plate 603 and the rubber pad 604 can fit tightly with one side of the nut to prevent the nut from loosening, thereby improving the accuracy of detection.

[0024] Its use is as Figure 1 According to the technical solution shown, first, when the fixing mechanism 6 moves to be aligned with the nut, the fixing block 601 will be aligned with the outer wall of the nut. Since the nut is usually arranged in a hexagonal structure, the fixing block 601 will be aligned with the edges of the nut one by one. Then, the threaded rod 602 is rotated, and the threaded rod 602 is threadedly engaged with the fixing block 601, thereby driving the clamping plate 603 to approach the nut. Then, the rubber pad 604 on the side of the clamping plate 603 will first fit with the outer wall of the nut. At this time, the threaded rod 602 is continued to be rotated, so that the clamping plate 603 squeezes the rubber pad 604 to deform, thereby clamping the nut.

[0025] Embodiment 3: The technical content disclosed in this embodiment is a further improvement made on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment 1 and embodiment 2. When looseness occurs, it can provide a visual reminder for the maintenance personnel, so that the maintenance personnel can perform the maintenance process more conveniently.

[0026] In this technical solution, Figure 2 As shown, by utilizing the arrangement of the stop block 5 and the matching block 12, when the nut becomes loose, the stop block 5 will rotate driven by the collar 4, thereby squeezing the matching block 12, causing the matching block 12 to move upward, and driving the push rod 11 to move through the matching block 12, turning on the switch connected to the alarm light 7, causing the alarm light 7 to sound an alarm. The structure is simple, the detection accuracy is high, and it is easy to carry and install.

[0027] Its use is as Figure 4 According to the technical solution shown, when the nut is loosened due to vibration, the nut will drive the fixed block 601 to rotate, and the fixed block 601 will drive the collar 4 to rotate, so that the slider 3 on the collar 4 slides along the slide groove 2, and then the collar 4 will drive the stop block 5 to rotate, so that the stop block 5 squeezes the matching block 12, and the matching block 12 squeezed will slide along the inclined surface of the upper end of the stop block 5, so that the push rod 11 is pushed upward in the groove 10 through the stop block 5, and the push rod 11 squeezes the switch in the groove 10, so that the alarm light 7 sounds an alarm;

[0028] After the nut is reset, the stop block 5 is reset, and the matching block 12 moves downward under the action of its own gravity, so that the push rod 11 is separated from the switch, and the warning light 7 stops flashing.
