DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0016] like Figure 1 and Figure 2The above diagram shows a cotter pin for preventing the top end of a bolt from falling off for automobiles. The cotter pin for preventing the top end of a bolt from falling off for automobiles specifically comprises an upper clamping foot 1, a lower clamping foot 2, a cotter pin clamping portion 3 and a cotter pin head 4. One end of the cotter pin head 4 is fixed to one end of the upper clamping foot 1, and the other end of the cotter pin head 4 is connected to one end of the lower clamping foot 2. The cotter pin clamping portion 3 is a U-shaped structure. The cotter pin clamping portion 3 is connected to the lower clamping foot 2, and the U-shaped inner wall of the cotter pin clamping portion 3 abuts against the upper clamping foot 1 to form a cotter pin fixed position. The cotter pin head 4 is in the shape of a curled spring. A wear-resistant reinforcement net 5 is wrapped on the cotter pin clamping portion 3. The upper clamping foot 1 passes through the top end of the bolt for automobiles, and the lower clamping foot The foot 2 is opposite to the upper clamping foot 1, and they jointly clamp the bolt to form a lock; the lower clamping foot 2 does not penetrate the automobile bolt, but fits on the outer wall of the automobile bolt and is directly connected to the cotter pin head 4; the cotter pin clamping part 3 is a U-shaped structure, which is used to clamp and fix the upper clamping foot 1. The U shape can adapt to bolts of different sizes. The wrapped wear-resistant reinforcement net 5 improves its wear resistance and reduces the risk of wear due to long-term use; the cotter pin head 4 is connected to the upper clamping foot 1 and the lower clamping foot 2 to form a curled spring shape, which can provide a certain amount of deformation during installation, making it easy to stretch and separate the upper clamping foot 1 and the lower clamping foot 2, so that the upper clamping foot 1 penetrates the automobile bolt and the lower clamping foot 2 is clamped on the outer wall of the automobile bolt.

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, further, a vertical slot 6 is provided at the end of the upper clamping foot 1. When the bolt is clamped, the vertical slot 6 can provide more bite points, thereby enhancing the friction between the upper clamping foot 1 and the fixed component. The vertical slot 6 has elastic deformation ability and can be pried open with a tool to prevent slipping after installing the bolt that penetrates the car.

[0018] like Figure 3 As shown, further, a corrugated boss 7 is provided at the joint between the upper clamping foot 1 and the cotter pin clamping part 3, and an inner groove 8 connected to the corrugated boss 7 is provided inside the cotter pin clamping part 3; the corrugated boss 7 increases the contact area and forms a plurality of bite points, and the inner groove 8 cooperates with the corrugated boss 7 to prevent loosening caused by vibration or external force, thereby enhancing the friction between the two, and the corrugated boss 7 adapts to the size difference and deformation between the upper clamping foot 1 and the cotter pin clamping part 3.

[0019] like Figure 2 As shown, further, the wear-resistant reinforcement mesh 5 includes reinforcing fiber ribs 9 and metal wire ribs 10, which are interwoven and wrapped around the cotter pin clamping portion 3. The reinforcing fiber ribs 9 are made of carbon fiber to resist friction and scratching, and the metal wire ribs 10 provide strength and rigidity. The two are interwoven together to enhance the wear resistance of the cotter pin clamping portion 3 and its surrounding areas.

[0020] like Figure 1As shown, further, a reinforcement sleeve 11 is provided on the side where the upper clamping foot 1 is connected to the cotter pin head 4, and the reinforcement sleeve 11 is provided on the side where the upper clamping foot 2 is connected to the cotter pin head 4 to enhance the strength of the connection and prevent damage due to long-term use.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, further, a locking piece 12 is provided at the end of the cotter pin clamping portion 3, and the locking piece 12 is provided at the end of the cotter pin clamping portion 3 and is buckled at the connection between the cotter pin clamping portion 3 and the lower clamping foot 2. The locking piece 12 can ensure that the cotter pin will not be accidentally loosened during vibration.

[0022] In the specific working process of the novel anti-falling cotter pin at the top of the automobile bolt, the position of the automobile bolt is confirmed to ensure the opening of the cotter pin. Since the cotter pin head 4 is in the shape of a curled spring, the upper clamping leg 1 and the lower clamping leg 2 can be lightly opened manually or with a special tool to create enough space to accommodate the top of the automobile bolt. The end of the upper clamping leg 1 is aligned with the top of the automobile bolt and pushed in until the upper clamping leg 1 completely penetrates the bolt; when the upper clamping leg 1 penetrates the bolt, the lower clamping leg 2 naturally fits on the outer wall of the bolt; the U-shaped structure of the clamping part 3 of the cotter pin Clamp the upper clamping foot 1 and cooperate with the corrugated boss 7 and inner groove 8 of the upper clamping foot 1 to form a firm lock; the wear-resistant reinforcement mesh 5 is wrapped on the cotter pin clamping part 3, and the locking piece 12 at the end of the cotter pin clamping part 3 is buckled at the connection between the cotter pin clamping part 3 and the lower clamping foot 2 to form an additional lock, ensuring that the cotter pin will not accidentally loosen in a vibration environment. Through the above steps, the new type of anti-falling cotter pin at the top of the automobile bolt is successfully installed and fixed on the automobile bolt, effectively preventing the bolt from falling off and improving the safety and reliability of the automobile.
