[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.
