[0019] As Figures 1 to 4As shown, a double-nut structure for preventing bolt loosening includes a bolt 3, a fastening nut 1, and a locking nut 2; the bolt 3 has a first threaded section 31, and one end of the first threaded section 31 is provided with a second threaded section 32 coaxially connected to it as an integral structure. The first threaded section 31 and the second threaded section 32 have external threads with opposite helix directions, and the outer diameter of the second threaded section 32 is smaller than the outer diameter of the first threaded section 31; the inner side of the fastening nut 1 has an internal threaded hole matching the first threaded section 31, and the fastening nut 1 is threadedly assembled on the outside of the first threaded section 31; the inner side of the locking nut 2 has an internal threaded hole matching the second threaded section 32, and the locking nut 2 is threadedly assembled on the outside of the second threaded section 32; a groove 11 coaxial with the first threaded section 31 is formed on one side of the fastening nut 1 close to the locking nut 2, and a convex ring 21 corresponding to the groove 11 is fixedly arranged on one side of the locking nut 2 close to the fastening nut 1, and the outside of the convex ring 21 is threadedly connected to the inside of the groove 11; at least two groups of locking parts for locking or releasing between the locking nut 2 and the fastening nut 1 are arranged in a circumferential array on the locking nut 2; in this embodiment, taking the direction of screwing the fastening nut 1 onto the first threaded section 31 as the forward screwing direction, during installation, first pass the bolt 3 through the component to be fixed, and then install the fastening nut 1 on the first threaded section 31 along the forward screwing direction to achieve fastening; subsequently, install the locking nut 2 on the second threaded section 32 along the reverse screwing direction. When screwing the locking nut 2 in the reverse direction, the convex ring 21 is threadedly assembled into the inside of the groove 11, and then the locking nut 2 and the fastening nut 1 are locked through the locking parts; at this time, the opposite thread trends of the fastening nut 1 and the locking nut 2 will cancel each other out, preventing the fastening nut 1 and the locking nut 2 from loosening on the bolt 3.

[0020] In some embodiments, as a specific implementation manner of the anti-loosening member, the anti-loosening member has a through hole 22 formed in the anti-loosening nut 2, and a fixing rod 4 is assembled inside the through hole 22; a positioning groove 12 corresponding to the through hole 22 is formed in the fastening nut 1, and a spring 6 is arranged inside the positioning groove 12. One end of the spring 6 is fixedly connected to the inside of the positioning groove 12; one end of the fixing rod 4 is inserted into the inside of the positioning groove 12, and the end of the fixing rod 4 abuts against the spring 6; a locking screw 5 is arranged on the anti-loosening nut 2 for locking or releasing the connection between the anti-loosening nut 2 and the fixing rod 4; the fixing rod 4 passes through the through hole 22 of the anti-loosening nut 2, and the end of the fixing rod 4 is inserted into the inside of the positioning groove 12. Then, the fixing rod 4 is locked with the anti-loosening nut 2 through the locking screw 5, so that the fixing rod 4 remains in the state of being inserted into the positioning groove 12. The fixing rod 4 is inserted into the positioning groove 12 to connect the fastening nut 1 and the anti-loosening nut 2 together. Thus, the opposite thread trends of the fastening nut 1 and the anti-loosening nut 2 will cancel each other out, preventing the fastening nut 1 and the anti-loosening nut 2 from loosening on the bolt 3; at the same time, the end of the fixing rod 4 compresses the spring 6, and the spring 6 provides opposite acting forces along the axial direction of the bolt 3 to the fastening nut 1 and the anti-loosening nut 2 respectively, further improving the stability of the whole structure and enhancing the anti-loosening effect.

[0021] In some embodiments, a locking hole 23 matching the locking screw 5 is formed in one side of the anti-loosening nut 2 along the radial direction of the through hole 22; a locking threaded hole 41 matching the locking screw 5 is formed in one side of the fixing rod 4; after the fixing rod 4 is inserted into the positioning groove 12, the locking threaded hole 41 is adjusted to correspond to the locking hole 23, and then the locking screw 5 is installed into the locking hole 23, and the fixing rod 4 is locked with the anti-loosening nut 2 through the locking screw 5.

[0022] In some embodiments, the locking hole 23 is a hole channel formed on the side surface of the anti-loosening nut and communicating with the through hole 22, and the diameter of the locking hole 23 is equal to the diameter of the locking screw 5. Thus, the locking screw 5 can slide axially along the locking hole 23 and be inserted into it, and the locking screw 5 is screwed to be in threaded connection with the locking threaded hole 41.

[0023] In some embodiments, the positioning groove 6 is a blind hole formed in the fastening nut, and the diameter of the positioning groove 6 is equal to the diameter of the fixing rod 4.
