[0031] The following is a further detailed description of the thread anti-loosening structure and the features and performance of the workpiece of the present application in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a thread anti-loosening structure, which includes a screw 100 with a nut 110 at one end, a forward-rotating nut 120, a reverse-rotating nut 130 and a flat washer 170 sleeved on the screw 100. The middle outer wall of the screw 100 is connected to the forward-rotating nut 120 through a forward thread 140, and the end of the screw 100 away from the nut 110 shrinks inward to form a reducing section 150. The outer wall of the reducing section 150 is provided with a reverse thread 160 in the opposite direction of the forward thread 140. The reverse-rotating nut 130 is connected to the reverse thread 160 through a thread, and the end of the reverse-rotating nut 130 presses against the end of the forward-rotating nut 120, and the end of the flat washer 170 presses against the end of the forward-rotating nut 120 away from the reverse-rotating nut 130; in this embodiment, the nut 110 is a hexagonal nut, and the forward thread 140 and the reverse thread 160 are coarse threads.

[0034] The thread anti-loosening structure provided in the embodiment of the present application is achieved by connecting the forward-rotating nut 120 through a forward thread 140 on the outer wall in the middle of the screw 100, providing an inwardly contracted reducing section 150 at the end of the screw 100 away from the nut 110, and connecting the end of the reverse-rotating nut 130 that presses against the end of the forward-rotating nut 120 through a reverse thread 160 on the outer wall of the reducing section 150, so that the forward-rotating nut 120 and the reverse-rotating nut 130 whose ends press against each other are respectively connected on the outer wall of the screw 100 through the forward thread 140 and the reverse thread 160 with opposite thread directions, ensuring that when the screw 100 is vibrated, the forward-rotating nut 120 and the reverse-rotating nut 130 move toward each other to achieve the anti-loosening function.

[0035] Among them, the end of the screw 100 away from the nut 110 shrinks inward to form a reducing section 150, which can make the reverse rotation nut 130 loosen by vibration and move axially, and the step surface between the screw 100 and the reducing section 150 blocks and limits the reverse rotation nut 130, thereby ensuring the anti-loosening performance and connection stability of the reverse rotation nut 130; a flat washer 170 is sleeved on the screw 100, the end of which presses against the end of the forward rotation nut 120 away from the reverse rotation nut 130, and the flat washer 170 can be used to block, limit and protect the forward rotation nut 120.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] like Figure 3As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a threaded anti-loosening structure, which is roughly the same as the structure of the threaded anti-loosening structure provided in Example 1, except that, in this embodiment, it also includes a latch 180 and a bayonet 210, the flat washer 170 is provided with a first plug hole 190 that passes through its two end faces, the end face of the forward-spinning nut 120 away from the reverse-spinning nut 130 is provided with a second plug hole 200 corresponding to the first plug hole 190, the latch 180 is used to pass through the first plug hole 190 and then be clamped in the corresponding second plug hole 200, and the outer wall of the screw 100 is provided with The slot 220 is used to engage the pin 210, and the outer wall of the pin 210 is provided with a receiving slot 230 connected to its bottom. When the bottom of the pin 210 is inserted into the slot 220, the pin 180 is inserted away from the end of the forward-rotating nut 120 and moves along the receiving slot 230; a first elastic washer 270 is sleeved on the reducing section 150, and the first elastic washer 270 presses against the inner wall of the forward-rotating nut 120 and the end face of the reverse-rotating nut 130 respectively; the middle part of the screw 100 is also sleeved with a second elastic washer 280 with two ends respectively pressing against the flat washer 170 and the forward-rotating nut 120.

[0038] The thread anti-loosening structure provided in the embodiment of the present application is configured to have a pin 180 passing through the first hole 190 on the flat washer 170 and then inserted into the second hole 200 on the forward-spinning nut 120. The pin 180 can be used to connect the flat washer 170 and the forward-spinning nut 120 into a whole to limit the positions of the flat washer 170 and the forward-spinning nut 120. At the same time, the pin 210 is inserted into the slot 220 on the outer wall of the screw 100, and the end of the pin 180 away from the forward-spinning nut 120 is inserted into the receiving slot 230 on the outer wall of the pin 210, so that the axial position of the pin 180 is limited by the pin 210 connected to the screw 100, ensuring that the flat washer 170, the forward-spinning nut 120, the pin 180 and the pin 210 are stably fixed on the screw 100 after being connected into a whole, thereby effectively improving the overall anti-vibration and anti-loosening performance of the thread anti-loosening structure.

The first elastic washer 270 can be used to buffer the inner wall of the forward-rotating nut 120 and the reverse-rotating nut 130, thereby preventing the forward-rotating nut 120 and the reverse-rotating nut 130 from being worn and loosened after being used in a vibration environment for a long time; a second elastic washer 280 is also sleeved on the middle part of the screw 100, whose two ends press against the flat washer 170 and the forward-rotating nut 120 respectively. The second elastic washer 280 can be used to buffer the flat washer 170 and the forward-rotating nut 120, thereby preventing the forward-rotating nut 120 and the reverse-rotating nut 130 from being worn and loosened after being used in a vibration environment for a long time.

[0040] In other optional embodiments, the number of the latch 180, the first socket 190 and the corresponding second socket 200 may also be two or more.

[0041] In other optional embodiments, when the number of the latches 180 is more than two, the number of the latches 210 and the receiving slots 230 may also be two or more.

[0042] In other optional embodiments, the latch 210 and the receiving groove 230 may not be provided.

[0045] The thread anti-loosening structure provided in the embodiment of the present application is achieved by respectively providing a screw slot 250 and a nut slot 260 on the end face of the screw 100 with a reducing section 150 and the end face of the reverse-rotation nut 130 away from the forward-rotation nut 120, and respectively clamping the two ends of the ]-shaped double-headed pin 240 into the screw slot 250 and the nut slot 260, so that the double-headed pin 240 can be used to limit the axial position of the reverse-rotation nut 130, thereby preventing the reverse-rotation nut 130 from moving axially and loosening after being vibrated, thereby improving the stability of the thread anti-loosening structure when used in a vibration environment for a long time.

[0046] The present application also provides a workpiece, which includes the above-mentioned thread anti-loosening structure.
