Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fasteners, and particularly relates to a locking structure for tire bolts and nuts. Background Art

[0002] At present, the existing tire bolts are usually composed of a bolt body, a washer sleeved on the bolt body, and a locking nut, and the washer and the locking nut are in flat contact connection.

[0003] As the prior art, Chinese Patent CN220850317U proposes a nut locking structure for tire bolts, which sets a reinforcing rod to prevent the nut from loosening. However, in this technical solution, the end of the reinforcing rod is fixed in the groove at the end of the bolt by an embedding method. However, the tire will have a certain vibration during the vehicle driving process, and the reinforcing rod may come out of the groove, and the connection is not firm enough, and it is still easy to cause the nut to loosen. Moreover, the reinforcing rod has no reinforcing structure, and it may also be deformed or broken under a large external force, which is also easy to cause the nut to loosen. Therefore, there is still room for improvement. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a locking structure for tire bolts and nuts to solve the problems raised in the above background art.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: A locking structure for tire bolts and nuts includes a bolt, a nut, and a reinforcing rod. The nut is threadedly connected to the bolt. A perforation is provided on the nut. The reinforcing rod includes a rod portion and a bent portion formed by bending one end of the rod portion. The outer wall of the end of the bolt is axially provided with a groove. An active block that can slide axially is provided in the groove. A spring is fixed at the inner bottom of the groove, and the end of the spring is connected to the active block. The width of the groove is greater than the diameter of the bent portion. A clamping groove is provided on the side wall of the bolt in the groove.

[0006] With the above technical scheme, during installation, the nut is threadedly connected to the bolt. After the nut is screwed to the tensioning position, the nut is rotated in a small angle in the reverse direction. Then, the rod portion of the reinforcing rod is inserted into the perforation. Then, the bent portion is extended into the opening of the groove and slides axially, thereby pushing the active block to slide. The active block slides and compresses the spring. When the bent portion moves to align with the clamping groove, the nut is rotated forward to make the nut re-tighten. At the same time, the reinforcing rod is also rotated in a small angle, so that the bent portion enters the clamping groove, and the bent portion is separated from the active block. The spring resets and elongates, thereby pushing the active block to slide in the reverse direction. After the active block slides, it aligns with the clamping groove, thereby firmly locking the bent portion in the clamping groove. When the tire vibrates during the vehicle driving process, the bent portion will not come out, and the connection is firm and stable, thereby avoiding the nut from loosening.

[0007] As a further optimization of the present utility model, an anti-slip sleeve is sleeved on the bent portion. The surface of the anti-slip sleeve is provided with a plurality of protruding anti-slip blocks, and the outer diameter of the anti-slip sleeve is adapted to the inner diameter of the card slot.

[0008] With the above technical solutions, the anti-slip sleeve is provided to increase the anti-slip performance of the surface of the bent portion, reduce the occurrence of slipping, protect the bent portion, reduce its wear, and thus extend the service life.

[0009] As a further optimization of the present utility model, a protective shell is sleeved at the connection between the rod portion and the bent portion, and the protective shell is made of alloy material.

[0010] With the above technical solutions, the protective shell can increase the structural strength of the connection between the rod portion and the bent portion and prevent the angle between the rod portion and the bent portion from deforming.

[0011] As a further optimization of the present utility model, a plurality of reinforcing ribs are provided on the surface of the rod portion.

[0012] With the above technical solutions, the reinforcing ribs increase the structural strength of the rod portion and reduce the situations of the rod portion being deformed and broken by external forces.

[0013] As a further optimization of the present utility model, a sliding groove is axially provided on the inner wall of the groove, and the movable block is provided with a sliding block and is slidably connected to the sliding groove.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: During installation, the nut is threadedly connected to the bolt. After the nut is screwed to the tensioning position, the nut is rotated in a small angle in the reverse direction. Then, the rod portion of the reinforcing rod is inserted into the through hole, and then the bent portion is extended into the opening of the groove and slid axially, thereby pushing the movable block to slide. The movable block slides and compresses the spring. When the bent portion moves to align with the card slot, the nut is rotated forward to re-tension the nut. At the same time, the reinforcing rod also rotates in a small angle, so that the bent portion enters the card slot. The bent portion is separated from the movable block, and the spring resets and elongates, thereby pushing the movable block to slide in the reverse direction. After the movable block slides, it aligns with the card slot, thereby firmly locking the bent portion in the card slot. When the tire vibrates during the driving of the vehicle, the bent portion will not come out, and the connection is firm and stable, thereby avoiding the loosening of the nut.
