Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to an outer sleeve nut-claw assembly applied to a self-locking joint, relates to the technical field of connection assemblies, and in particular to an outer sleeve nut-claw assembly applied to a self-locking joint in an aviation hydraulic pipeline system. Background Art
[0002] In the aviation hydraulic piping system, the pipelines are connected and sealed by threaded pairs. After the threads are tightened, the traditional thread locking method is to use a safety wire to pass through the threading hole of the threaded connection pair and screw the safety wire in a specific way to prevent the threads from loosening. At present, the safety wire anti-loosening method is rarely used abroad. Since the 1970s, foreign countries have begun to study the integration of claw locking plates (hereinafter referred to as "claws") into the outer nut, and the anti-loosening function is achieved by the engagement of the claw protrusion with the flat nozzle tooth ring. After the claw is installed in the outer nut, it is necessary to punch a hole at the end of the outer nut (material TC6). Punching the hole causes local permanent deformation of the outer nut, thereby limiting the claw in the outer nut. This solution has disadvantages. Since the outer nut is anodized, its surface is very brittle and hard. Cracks are likely to occur at the punched part during punching, and it is difficult to achieve technical consistency in the punching position, depth, size, etc.
[0003] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, it is very necessary to research and design a new type of outer nut-claw assembly used in a self-locking joint, so as to overcome the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In response to the technical issues raised in the prior art, such as the brittle surface of the outer nut after extreme oxidation, the tendency for cracks to form at the punching site, and the difficulty in achieving consistent punching position, depth, and size, a outer nut-claw assembly for self-locking joints is provided. This utility model primarily replaces the punching process on the outer nut by adjusting the claw head and utilizing the elastic deformation of the metal to embed the claw into the outer nut. This ensures that the claw can move freely within a certain range within the outer nut, improving product reliability and reducing the difficulty of the product's processing. The technical means employed in this utility model are as follows:
[0005] A jacket nut-claw assembly for a self-locking joint comprises: a jacket nut and a claw;
[0006] Furthermore, the lower part of the outer sleeve nut is processed with a lower square hole for inserting the claw, and the upper part is processed with an upper square hole for clamping the claw;
[0007] Furthermore, the claw is inserted into the lower square hole, and the upper claw head is clamped in the upper square hole, so that it is limited and installed in the outer sleeve nut; the claw gripping part protrudes from the flat pipe nozzle tooth ring to bite and realize the anti-loosening function.
[0008] Furthermore, the upper square hole and the lower square hole are provided at the upper part and the lower part of the non-threaded end of the outer sleeve nut.
[0009] Furthermore, the claw head is a thin locking plate structure, and the outer two sides of the top end are buckle-type structures;
[0010] Furthermore, a V-shaped groove is processed at the middle position of the top end of the claw head.
[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the V-shaped groove at the top end of the claw head is a circular transition.
[0012] Furthermore, the wide ends of the buckle-type structures on both sides of the top of the claw head are larger than the length of the upper square hole. With the elasticity of the V-shaped groove, the claw head is clamped on the upper surface of the upper square hole, realizing the up and down and front and back limiting of the claw.
[0013] The usage of this utility model is:
[0014] When installing the claw to the outer nut, first pass the claw through the lower square hole of the outer nut. After the claw is completely inserted into the outer nut, the head of the claw contacts the bottom of the upper square hole of the non-threaded end of the outer nut. Since the two sides of the claw head are "snap-type" structures, external force is required to press the head of the claw into the upper square hole of the non-threaded end of the outer nut. During the pressing process, the head of the claw undergoes elastic deformation. After the pressing is completed, the elastic deformation of the head of the claw disappears, and the snaps on both sides of the claw head are stuck on the upper surface of the upper square hole of the non-threaded end of the outer nut.
[0015] When in use, the claws are installed on the non-threaded side of the outer nut to achieve up and down and front and back limiting.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:
[0017] 1. The outer sleeve nut-claw assembly for a self-locking joint provided by the utility model realizes the assembly and positioning of the claw and the outer sleeve nut by providing an elastic V-groove structure on the claw head.
[0018] 2. The outer nut-claw assembly for the self-locking joint provided by the utility model has a V-groove structure whose bottom is processed into a circular transition, thereby increasing the elasticity of the claw head.
[0019] In summary, the technical solution of the present invention solves the problems in the prior art that the surface of the outer nut becomes very brittle and hard after being extremely oxidized, cracks are easily generated at the punching position during punching, and the punching position, depth, size, etc. are difficult to achieve consistent technical conditions.
