Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of fasteners, and particularly relates to a self-locking nut. Background Art

[0002] Common fasteners include bolts, studs, screws, nuts, washers, pins, etc. Among them, the nut is a polygonal column with a central threaded hole. The inner wall of the central threaded hole is provided with internal threads, which are screwed tightly with the external threads on the stud.

[0003] An existing anti-loosening fastening nut, with the publication number CN220551362U, includes: a fastening cover. A first through hole is opened at the top end of the fastening cover. A fastener is inserted into the interior of the first through hole. A plug board is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fastener. Positioning plugs are respectively fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom end of the fastening cover. The convex blocks at the bottom ends of the positioning plugs are clamped inside the positioning slots, and the positioning slots are opened on the side wall of the fixed nut. By inserting and fixing the fastening cover and the fixed nut together through the fastener, the movement space of the screw is restricted, thereby preventing the screw from loosening during vibration and preventing the fastening cover from falling due to vibration by inserting the positioning plug into the side wall of the fixed nut, further tightening the clamping connection method between the fastening cover and the fixed nut.

[0004] For the above nut structure, although it can solve the problem of the fastening cover falling due to vibration, for the nut in embedded installation, it is also required that the nut be clamped in the embedded component after embedded installation and not fall out of the embedded component; after the above nut structure is embedded and installed, there is no corresponding connection structure to prevent the nut from falling off between the nut and the embedded component. Therefore, the nut is likely to fall off due to external factors such as vibration. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a self-locking nut.

[0026] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, this embodiment discloses a self-locking nut, which includes a nut body 1, a fastening ring 2, and at least two locking rings 3. The outer side of the nut body 1 includes a first connection section 11 for mating connection with the fastening ring 2 and a second connection section 12 for mating connection with the locking ring 3. The first connection section 11 is connected to one end of the second connection section 12, and a limiting flange 13 is provided at the other end of the second connection section 12; the locking ring 3 is sleeved on the second connection section 12, and a separating ring 4 is provided between adjacent locking rings 3, and the separating ring 4 is also sleeved on the second connection section 12. The locking rings 3 near both ends of the second connection section 12 respectively abut against the fastening ring 2 and the limiting flange 13; a plurality of outwardly protruding locking pieces 31 are provided on the outer side of the locking ring 3, and the locking pieces 31 extend obliquely from the limiting flange 13 to the side of the fastening ring 2 from the inside to the outside, and the plurality of locking pieces 31 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the locking ring 3; a threaded hole 14 penetrating axially is provided inside the nut body 1. The self-locking nut of this embodiment circumferentially arranges a plurality of locking pieces 31 on the outer side of the locking ring 3, and the locking pieces 31 extend obliquely, so that when the nut is embedded and installed, it can be embedded into the installation part along the inclination direction of the locking pieces 31. Under the action of the locking pieces 31, it can not only prevent the nut from rotating in the installation part, but also prevent the nut from falling off the installation part. The nut can achieve the self-locking function in the installation part, and the tightness of the nut embedded in the installation part is relatively high.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment, the number of the locking rings 3 can be configured according to the length of the second connection section 12. When the length of the second connection section 12 is longer, the number of the locking rings 3 is more, and a separating ring 4 is arranged between adjacent locking rings 3 to separate adjacent two locking rings 3.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment, the separating ring 4 extends obliquely from the limiting flange 13 to one side of the fastening ring 2 from the inside to the outside, the inclination angle of the separating ring 4 is equal to the inclination angle of the locking ring 3, and the locking piece 31 protrudes from the outer side edge of the separating ring 4. Thereby, the contact between the locking ring 3 and the separating ring 4 is better, greatly improving the self-locking performance of the nut. And after the contact area between the locking ring 3 and the separating ring 4 increases, the structural strength of the locking piece 31 can be improved, avoiding problems such as fracture of the locking piece 31 during use.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment, the outer side walls of the locking pieces 31 are all arc surfaces centered on the central axis of the nut body 1.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment, the first connecting section 11 includes a sleeved section 111 and a clamping flange 112. An axially extending sleeved hole 21 and a clamping hole 22 are formed inside the fastening ring 2. The sleeved hole 21 is in fit connection with the sleeved section 111, and the clamping hole 22 is in fit connection with the clamping flange 112.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment, the outer diameter of the second connecting section 12 > the outer diameter of the clamping flange 112 > the outer diameter of the sleeved section 111, so that the locking ring 3 and the separating ring 4 can be sleeved through the first connecting section 11. Further, in order to facilitate the sleeved installation between the fastening ring 2 and the first connecting section 11, a tapered hole 23 is provided at one end of the sleeved hole 21 far from the clamping hole 22, and the aperture of the tapered hole 23 gradually increases from the end connecting the sleeved hole 21 to the end connecting the end face of the fastening ring 2; the aperture of the small end of the tapered hole 23 is equivalent to the aperture of the sleeved hole 21; the nut body 1 has a certain elasticity. When the fastening ring 2 is in fit with the first connecting section 11, the clamping flange 112 of the first connecting section 11 enters from one end of the tapered hole 23. Under the guiding action of the tapered hole 23, the clamping flange 112 deforms and contracts and gradually enters the sleeved hole 21. Until after passing through the sleeved hole 21, the clamping flange 112 elastically resets and cooperates with the clamping hole 22, the sleeved section 111 cooperates with the sleeved hole 21, and the fastening ring 2 and the first connecting section 11 are relatively fixedly connected.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment, the outer side of the fastening ring 2 includes an abutting section 24 and a hole-sealing section 25. One end of the abutting section 24 is connected to one end of the hole-sealing section 25, the other end of the abutting section 24 abuts against the locking ring 3, the other end of the hole-sealing section 25 is flush with the end face of the first connecting section 11 far from the second connecting section 12, and the outer diameter of the hole-sealing section 25 is greater than the outer diameter of the abutting section 24. When the nut is embedded and installed, the aperture of the embedding hole is equivalent to the outer diameter of the hole-sealing section 25. When the nut completely enters the embedding hole, the hole-sealing section 25 closes the entrance of the embedding hole, so that the connection between the nut and the installation component is tight, the stability is high, the overall structure is airtight, and the aesthetics after the nut is embedded and installed is also better.

[0033] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and all technical solutions that achieve the purpose of the present utility model by substantially the same means fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
