[0031] In order to facilitate those skilled in the art to better understand the essence of the present invention, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Reference Figure 7 As shown, a locking nut connection structure includes a motor 1, a processing tool 2, a locking nut 3 and a stop cover 4. The processing tool 2 is sleeved on the output shaft 1-1 of the motor 1, the locking nut 3 is screwed on the output shaft 1-1 and presses and fixes the processing tool 2, and the stop cover 4 is connected to the output shaft 1-1 and presses on the outside of the locking nut 3.

[0033] In this embodiment, the processing tool 2 is preferably a saw blade, with a fixed plate 5 and a pressure plate 6 disposed on the inner and outer sides of the saw blade, respectively, for coupling with the motor output shaft. The specific assembly structure of the fixed plate 5, pressure plate 6, and saw blade is common knowledge known to those skilled in the art and will not be further described here. Of course, the processing tool is not limited to the saw blades exemplified above; it may also be other processing tools such as a grinding disc, and is not limited to this embodiment. Obviously, the output shaft 1-1 may be another threaded shaft, and is not limited to this embodiment.

[0034] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a notch ring is provided on the inner side of the anti-loosening nut 3, the lower part of the notch ring constitutes abutment 3-1, and a screw hole 3-2 is provided on the upper part of the notch ring. A anti-loosening bolt is screwed on the screw hole and abuts against the abutment 3-1 and applies an outward turning force to the upper side of the notch ring, thereby causing the screw thread on the upper side of the notch ring to have an outward turning deformation; the purpose of preventing loosening is achieved by the outward turning deformation of the screw thread.

[0035] In this embodiment, the locknut 3 is preferably a metal nut. This provides a high degree of rigidity to the thread, and its outward deformation can generate a strong anti-loosening force, achieving excellent anti-loosening effects, meeting the requirements for preventing loosening in high-speed motors running at speeds of 10,000 rpm and above. Actual testing has shown that the use of the medium locknut in this utility model will not cause loosening even when the locking force is increased by five times, achieving excellent anti-loosening and anti-vibration effects.

[0036] In this embodiment, the locknut 3 has an outer diameter of 51 mm and an inner diameter of 30 mm. The recessed depth of the notched ring is 7.5 mm (the wall thickness of the locknut at the location of the notched ring is 3 mm) to facilitate deformation. The thickness of the upper portion of the notched ring is preferably not less than 5 mm to ensure sufficient deformed threads to prevent loosening. Preferably, there are six screw holes 3-2, evenly distributed on the annular surface of the locknut 3. Preferably, the locknut 3 is provided with slots 3-3 extending through the sidewall, with six slots 3-3 separating adjacent screw holes 3-2. This allows for better deformation of the threads when a deforming force is applied by the lockbolt. In some embodiments, the number of screw holes 3-2 can be two, three, four, or any other number, as appropriate for those skilled in the art based on practical needs. In some embodiments, the slots 3-3 can also be omitted, not limited to this embodiment.

[0037] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the locknut 3 is preferably further provided with an indentation 3-4 corresponding to the location of the screw hole 3-2. The indentation 3-4 is located on the lower side of the gap ring. The provision of the indentation 3-4 makes the upper side of the gap ring more susceptible to deformation by the lockbolt. One to three indentations 3-4 may be provided for each screw hole 3-2, and the indentations 3-4 corresponding to the same screw hole 3-2 are parallel to each other.

[0038] In this embodiment, the indentations 3-4 preferably have a triangular cross-section, an opening angle of 60°, and a depth of 1 mm. Obviously, those skilled in the art may adjust the opening angle and depth of the indentations as needed, such as selecting an opening angle between 40° and 70° and a depth between 0.5 and 3 mm.

[0039] It should be noted that the locknut 3 has two types: a positive thread locknut and a negative thread locknut. The corresponding locknut is selected according to the rotation direction of the motor.

[0040] Combine Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, the stop cover 4 includes a cover portion 4-1 and a shaft end portion 4-2, the cover portion 4-1 is used to tighten the anti-loosening nut 3, and the shaft end portion 4-2 is connected and fixed to the output shaft 1-1; a threaded hole consistent with its axis is provided on the output shaft 1-1, and a through hole 4-3 passing through the shaft end portion 4-2 and corresponding to the threaded hole is provided on the stop cover 4, and a locking screw passes through the through hole 4-3 to tighten the stop cover 4 on the output shaft 1-1, thereby achieving the purpose of tightening the anti-loosening nut 3.

[0041] The advantage of the above-mentioned stop cover connection method is that it is convenient to set up a mutually cooperating anti-rotation structure between the shaft end 4-2 and the output shaft 1-1, such as setting the shaft end 4-2 into a polygonal prism shape, and providing a groove on the output shaft 1-1 that fits with the polygonal prism-shaped shaft end. In this way, relative rotation between the stop cover 4 and the output shaft 1-1 is avoided, ensuring the anti-loosening effect.

[0042] In some embodiments, anti-rotation may also be achieved by providing a polygonal prism-shaped groove on the shaft end 4 - 2 and a polygonal prism provided on the output shaft 1 - 1 , which is not limited to this embodiment.

[0043] Obviously, the installation method of the stop cover 4 is not limited to the above examples. In some embodiments, the stop cover 4 and the output shaft 1-1 are connected by mutually matching threaded columns and threaded holes. During assembly, the stop cover 4 is directly screwed onto the output shaft 1-1 through the shaft end 4-2; it is not limited to this embodiment.

[0044] It should be noted that, in the description of this specification, the description with reference to the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "example", "specific example", or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present utility model. In this specification, the schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner. In addition, those skilled in the art can combine and combine different embodiments or examples described in this specification and the features of different embodiments or examples, unless they are contradictory.

[0045] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it can be understood that the above embodiments are illustrative and cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention. Ordinary technicians in this field can change, modify, replace and modify the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
