[0034] The technical solution of the present utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0035] The anti-loosening threaded fastening assembly of the present invention connects and fixes the connecting plate 3 and the connected plate 4 by means of a fastener 2 passing through a washer 1. The front side of the washer 1 is provided with one or more elastic ramps 101 evenly distributed along the center hole, and the back side of the washer 1 is provided with one or more protrusions 102 located outside the circumference of the ramps, and notches 103 are distributed around the protrusions 102 and pass through the thickness direction of the washer; the fastener 2 is provided with one or more rigid ramps 201 evenly distributed along the center hole, and the rigid ramps 201 correspond to the elastic ramps 101 and are the same in number.
[0036] like Figure 1-4; Based on the ordinary flat washer, the following features are added: 1. On the front of the washer 1, there are one or more groups of elastic ramps 101 evenly distributed along the center hole, with a height of H1; 2. On the back of the washer 1, there are one or more protrusions 102 located outside the circumference of the ramp, with a circumscribed circle diameter of ΦD1 and a distance from its center to the center hole of R; 3. Slots 103 are distributed around the protrusions 102 and penetrate the thickness direction of the washer 1.
[0037] The fastener 2 includes three structures. Based on the common fastener, the additional features are: on the plane that cooperates with the washer 1, one or more rigid ramps 201 are evenly distributed along the center hole. The height is H2. The number of rigid ramps 201 is the same as the elastic ramps 101 of the washer 1:
[0038] like Figure 5-7 Structure 1: The fastener 2 is a bolt structure, and the bottom of the bolt nut is provided with a rigid ramp 201. The screw portion of the bolt passes through the connecting plate 3 and the connected plate 4, and the rigid ramp 201 at the bottom of the nut corresponds to the elastic ramp 101 on the front of the washer 1.
[0039] like Figure 8-10 Structure 2: The fastener 2 is a screw structure, and the bottom of the screw nut is provided with a rigid ramp 201. The screw portion of the screw passes through the connecting plate 3 and the connected plate 4, and the rigid ramp 201 at the bottom of the screw corresponds to the elastic ramp 101 on the front of the washer 1.
[0040] like Figure 11-13 Structure 3: The fastener 2 is a nut structure with a rigid ramp 201 at the bottom of the nut. The nut is connected to the welded stud plate 5. The welded stud plate 5 passes through the connecting plate 3 and the connected plate 4 and is connected to the nut. The rigid ramp 201 at the bottom of the nut corresponds to the elastic ramp 101 on the front of the washer 1.
[0041] like Figure 14-18 Schematic diagram for preventing looseness:
[0042] like Figure 14 Schematic diagram of the fastener structure before tightening. In addition to the fastener holes, connecting plate 3 must be machined with blind holes or through holes with a center distance R between the holes. The diameter is ΦD2 (ΦD2 is slightly larger than ΦD1). The number and distribution of these holes should match those of protrusions 102 on washer 1. Place protrusions 102 on washer 1 into the corresponding holes on connecting plate 3. Initially, screw fastener 2 into the threaded hole on connected plate 4. The height H1 of elastic ramp 101 should be less than the height H2 of protrusion 201.
[0043] like Figure 15-16 , a schematic diagram of the structure of the fastener being tightened, at which time the rigid ramp 201 of the fastener 2 gradually flattens the elastic ramp 101 of the washer 1. That is, the height of the rigid ramp 201 remains at H2, while the height of the elastic ramp 101 decreases from H1 to H3.
[0044] like Figure 17-18 , a schematic diagram of the structure of the fastener after tightening, at this time, the plane of the fastener 2 is in contact with the plane of the washer 1, the rigid ramp 201 is separated from the elastic ramp 101, and the height of the elastic ramp 101 is restored to H1. Since the protrusion 102 of the washer 1 is fitted with the connector 3, the washer 1 and the connector 3 cannot rotate relative to each other; and since H1 is less than H2, the fastener 2 cannot rotate in the direction of loosening the thread. Therefore, a reliable mechanical anti-loosening effect is achieved. To release the anti-loosening effect, use a tool such as a chisel or a flathead screwdriver to pry the notch 103 of the washer 1 to remove the protrusion 102 from the connector 3 before loosening the fastener 2.
[0045] Example 1:
[0046] like Figure 19 The fastener 2 is a screw structure. After the fastener 2 (screw) is tightened, the washer 1 and the connecting plate 3 cannot rotate relative to each other. The rigid ramp 201 of the fastener 2 (screw) conflicts with the elastic ramp 101 of the washer 1, so that the thread cannot be loosened, achieving a mechanical anti-loosening state.
[0047] Example 2:
[0048] like Figure 20 The fastener 2 is a nut structure and is provided with a welded stud plate 5. After the upper end thread of the welded stud of the welded stud plate 5 is tightened with the fastener 2 (nut), the washer 1 and the connecting plate 3 cannot rotate relative to each other. The rigid ramp 201 of the fastener 2 (nut) conflicts with the elastic ramp 101 of the washer 1, so that the thread cannot be loosened, achieving a mechanical anti-loosening state.
