[0002] Set screws are widely used in various machines and equipment, such as automobiles, aerospace, electronic equipment, construction engineering, etc. Their main function is to connect and fix parts to ensure the stable operation of machines and equipment.
[0003] At present, normal set screws are all drilled vertically, using the friction or yield force between the set screw and the bolt to achieve the anti-loosening effect. In this structure, the tightness of the nut is not affected by the set screw and maintains its original state. Therefore, under vibration, if the nut becomes loose, it will cause the set screw to move, and the anti-loosening effect cannot be achieved. Utility Model Content

[0011] The utility model provides a screw locking device, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] (1) The utility model changes the original straight hole into an oblique hole. When the female nut is tightened, the first set screw is tightened. The first set screw moves in the rotation direction of the female nut, thereby adding a force to the tightened female nut, thereby achieving a better locking effect.
[0013] (2) The utility model locks the concave nut and the convex nut by setting the second fixing screw, so that the concave nut is not easy to loosen from the convex nut, thereby improving the overall locking effect of the nut. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0018] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0019] The utility model provides a technical solution: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a set screw locking device includes a bolt 1, a convex nut 3 and a concave nut 2. The convex nut 3 and the concave nut 2 are both threadedly connected to the outer side of the bolt 1, and an inclined hole 4 is provided on the surface of the concave nut 2. The inclined hole 4 is connected to the middle hole of the concave nut 2, and the internal thread of the inclined hole 4 is connected to the first set screw 6. One end of the first set screw 6 contacts the outer surface of the bolt 1, and the convex nut 3 and the concave nut 2 are screwed on the outer side of the bolt 1 in turn. One end of the convex nut 3 will be stuck in the inner side of one end of the concave nut 2, and the edge position of the middle hole of the convex nut 3 will be slightly misaligned. Therefore, under the action of eccentric force, the convex nut 3 and the concave nut 2 will be locked. After the two are locked, the first set screw 6 is screwed into the inclined hole 4, one end of which will rest against the outer surface of the bolt 1, and the whole will move in the rotation direction of the concave nut 2, applying force to the concave nut 2 to improve the locking effect.
[0020] Two symmetrically arranged through holes 5 are formed on the outer surface of the female nut 2 , and the inner threads of the through holes 5 are connected to second fixing screws 7 .
[0021] One end of the first set screw 6 and the second set screw 7 is provided with a slotted slot, and the slotted slot allows the user to tighten the first set screw 6 and the second set screw 7 with a slotted screwdriver.
[0022] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, two symmetrically arranged connecting holes 8 are provided on the outer surface of the convex nut 3 , and when the concave nut 2 and the convex nut 3 are locked, the through hole 5 is connected to the adjacent connecting holes 8 .
[0023] A spring 9 is disposed inside the connecting hole 8 , and the other end of the spring 9 is disposed inside the adjacent through hole 5 .
[0024] One end of the second set screw 7 is threadedly connected to the inside of the connecting hole 8, and the second set screw 7 is arranged on the inner side of the spring 9. After the female nut 2 and the convex nut 3 are connected and locked, the through hole 5 and the adjacent connecting hole 8 will be connected. The spring 9 is inserted into the inside of the connecting hole 8 through the through hole 5, and then the second set screw 7 is screwed into the connecting hole 8 through the through hole 5. One end of the second set screw 7 is located in the connecting hole 8, and the other end is located in the through hole 5 to lock the female nut 2 and the convex nut 3. Secondly, the end of the second set screw 7 located in the connecting hole 8 will squeeze the spring 9, and the spring 9 will exert a force on the second set screw 7, so that the second set screw 7 is not easy to loosen.
[0025] The utility model provides a set screw locking device, the specific working principle is as follows: when installing, the convex nut 3 and the concave nut 2 are screwed on the outside of the bolt 1 in sequence, and one end of the convex nut 3 is stuck in the inner side of one end of the concave nut 2, wherein the edge position of the center hole of the convex nut 3 is slightly misaligned, so under the action of eccentric force, the convex nut 3 and the concave nut 2 are locked. After the two are locked, the first set screw 6 is screwed into the inclined hole 4, and one end of the set screw 6 is against the outer surface of the bolt 1, and the whole will rotate toward the concave nut 2. Move in the direction to apply force to the female nut 2 to improve the locking effect, then insert the spring 9 into the interior of the connecting hole 8 through the through hole 5, and then screw the second set screw 7 into the connecting hole 8 through the through hole 5. One end of the second set screw 7 is located in the connecting hole 8, and the other end is located in the through hole 5 to lock the female nut 2 and the convex nut 3. Secondly, the end of the second set screw 7 located in the connecting hole 8 will squeeze the spring 9, and the spring 9 will apply force to the second set screw 7, so that the second set screw 7 is not easy to loosen.
