Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of hoisting machinery, in particular to a U-shaped ring screw anti-backlash device. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the high frequency of hoisting operations, the dynamic swing of the hoisted objects in the air, the operators' careless inspection, the lack of experience of the crane operators and other reasons have caused the U-shaped ring to buckle and slip, resulting in high labor intensity, low work efficiency and great safety risks. According to statistics, personal injury incidents and attempted incidents in hoisting operations have increased in recent years. The occurrence of these incidents has to consider the research and application of equipment technology.

[0003] In order to reduce safety risks and labor intensity and improve work efficiency, a device and method for using a U-shaped ring screw to prevent back-off is provided. Simply put, when the operator uses a U-shaped ring to connect the hoisting parts, the existing U-shaped ring anti-back-off is an external cotter pin or spring pin. During the operation, since the cotter pin is fixed on the screw, and the swing of the hoisted object during displacement in the air will be transmitted to the nut, the nut forms a local rotation activity and the nut cannot achieve the initial pre-tightening force to prevent back-off. The reason is that there is an active area of about 3mm between the cotter pin hole and the nut, and the pre-tightening force cannot be effectively achieved. The newly developed anti-back-off device can effectively achieve constant pre-tightening force. Secondly, the existing spring pin rotates after the rope is loaded or momentarily unloaded during use, and the spring pin is bounced off. The safety risk is extremely high and it is very easy to cause incidents and accidents. It is urgent to develop a new anti-back-off device to achieve safety and efficiency. In this way, safety risks can be reduced, the continuity of enterprise production can be guaranteed, and personal injury and equipment damage can be reduced. Utility Model Content

[0026] Refer to Figures 1-4, the U-shaped ring screw anti-loosening device provided by the utility model: includes a U-shaped ring body 1, and an anti-loosening mechanism 2 is installed at the bottom of the U-shaped ring body 1, which can prevent the screw installed inside from retreating due to vibration or other reasons. The anti-loosening mechanism 2 includes a housing 201, the outer surface of the housing 201 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the U-shaped ring body 1, a cavity 202 is opened inside the housing 201, an anti-loosening ring 203 is installed inside the cavity 202, and the anti-loosening ring 203 can move inside the cavity 202. A plurality of limiting grooves 204 are opened on the outer ring of the anti-loosening ring 203, and the limiting grooves 204 are triangular structures, one angle is a front inclination angle of 70° and the other angle is a braking angle of 90°. The hypotenuse of the front inclination angle is 2 mm and the vertical side length is 2 mm. The tooth circumference of the screw 3 is evenly distributed and locking is achieved every 2 mm, greatly improving the long-term maintenance of the pre-tightening force. A through hole 207 is opened on the side wall of the housing 201, and a connecting pin 208 is installed inside the through hole 207. The connecting pin 208 can move back and forth inside the through hole 207. One end of the connecting pin 208 is installed with a connecting block 205, and the connecting block 205 is installed inside the limiting groove 204. When the connecting block 205 is installed inside the limiting groove 204, the screw 3 can rotate in one direction inside the anti-loosening ring 203 and cannot rotate in the reverse direction. A spring 211 is arranged on the outer surface of the connecting pin 208, and the spring 211 is located between the connecting block 205 and the housing 201. Under the action of the spring 211, a stable torque can be formed between the anti-loosening ring 203 and the screw 3, facilitating the rotation and installation of the screw 3 into the anti-loosening ring 203 for use. A screw 3 is installed inside the anti-loosening mechanism 2, and the outer surface of the screw 3 is threadedly connected to the inner ring of the anti-loosening ring 203, and the bottom of the U-shaped ring body 1 is connected through the screw 3.

During use, the connecting block 205 can be installed into the limiting groove 204 first, and then the connecting pin 208 can be passed through the through hole 207 and then connected to the connecting block 205, facilitating the assembly and use of the U-shaped ring screw anti-loosening device.

[0028] A partition 209 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting pin 208, and the partition 209 is located outside the housing 201. The partition 209 can prevent the connecting pin 208 from completely entering the housing 201. A fixing pin 210 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the partition 209, and anti-slip patterns are arranged on the outer surface of the fixing pin 210. When the user pulls the fixing pin 210 outwards, the connecting block 205 can be taken out from the limiting groove 204.

[0029] A fixing plate 212 is installed on the side wall of the outer shell 201. The inner diameter of the fixing plate 212 is equal to the inner diameter of the anti-retreat ring 203.
