DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0024] See Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention provides a self-locking tensioner. The self-locking tensioner includes a rotating assembly 1, two screws 2, and two self-locking structures 3 for locking a tensioning object 6. The two screws 2 have opposite thread directions, one end of each screw 2 is threadedly connected to the two ends of the rotating assembly 1, and the other ends of each screw 2 are connected to the two self-locking structures 3. The self-locking structures 3 have a clamping space 4 for clamping a tensioning object 6 (such as a rope, steel cable, wire rope, etc.). By rotating the rotating assembly 1, the two screws 2 can be driven to move toward or away from each other, thereby driving the two self-locking structures 3 to move toward or away from each other, thereby locking or loosening the tensioning object 6 placed in the clamping space 4.

[0025] As an embodiment, the self-locking structure 3 includes a lock housing 31, a return torsion spring 32, and a locking block 33. The lock housing 31 is connected to the screw rod 2. Specifically, a semicircular chain ring 31020 is provided on one side of the lock housing 31. The end of the screw rod 2 away from the rotating assembly 1 is provided with a circular chain ring 20. The semicircular chain ring 31020 and the circular chain ring 20 are interlocked. The lock housing 31 has a first end 311 and a second end 312 that are arranged opposite to each other. The first end 311 is rotatably connected to one end of the locking block 33, and the return torsion spring 32 is connected between the first end 311 and the locking block 33. The locking block 33 rotates toward the second end 312 under the torsion of the return torsion spring 32, so that a clamping space 4 is formed between the locking block 33 and the second end 312. Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the first end 311 is bent downward at the upper end of the lock shell 31, and the second end 312 is bent upward at the lower end of the lock shell 31, so that a accommodating space 5 for accommodating the locking block 33 is formed on the lock shell 31, and the first end 311 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the locking block 33 through a pin shaft, the pin shaft passes through the center of the return torsion spring 32, and the two ends of the return spring are respectively connected to the first end 311 and the locking block 33, and the locking block 33 is rotated into the accommodating space 5 under the torsion force of the return torsion spring 32, and the lower end of the locking block 33 can be arranged relative to the second end 312, so that the above-mentioned clamping space 4 is formed between the lower end of the locking block 33 and the second end 312.

[0026] As an implementation method, see Figure 3 、 Figure 4 as well as Figure 5As shown, the locking block 33 has a third end 331 and a fourth end 332 disposed opposite each other. The third end 331 is connected to the first end 311. The fourth end 332, under the torsional force of the return torsion spring 32, approaches the second end 312 and can rotate to a position opposite the second end 312 and stop. The rotational travel of the locking block 33 can be limited by a limiter provided in the lock housing 31 or by utilizing the torsional force of the return torsion spring 32 itself to limit the rotational travel of the locking block 33. This limits the rotation of the fourth end 332 to a position opposite the second end 312 and stops thereafter. This allows the clamping space 4 formed between the fourth end 332 and the second end 312 to clamp and secure the tensioning object 6. The fourth end 332 is provided with a plurality of anti-slip teeth 333 for clamping the tensioning object 6. In the direction of rotation of the locking block 33 under the torsion of the return torsion spring 32, the distance between the apex of each anti-slip tooth 333 and the rotation axis of the locking block 33 gradually decreases. As the locking block 33 rotates toward the second end 321 in the torsion direction of the return torsion spring 32, the left anti-slip tooth 333 on the fourth end 332 moves closer to the lower inner bottom wall of the lock housing 31, thereby increasing the depth of the anti-slip tooth 333's engagement with the tensioning object 6, thereby improving the locking effect on the tensioning object 6. In this embodiment, the locking block 33 has a triangular structure, and a rotating wrench 34 is provided on the left side of the locking block 33 to facilitate rotation against the torsion of the return torsion spring 32. The rotating wrench 34 has a side length on one side that is longer than the other side. The end of the third end 331 is arcuate, and the anti-slip tooth 333 is provided on the arcuate end of the third end 331.

[0027] As an embodiment, anti-slip grooves are provided on the inner wall of the second end 312 , so that the friction between the tensioned object 6 and the lock housing 31 can be increased after the tensioned object 6 is placed in the clamping space 4 .

[0028] As an implementation method, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the aforementioned rotating assembly 1 includes a handle 11 and a sleeve 12. The handle 11 is in driving connection with the sleeve 12, and the two ends of the sleeve 12 are respectively threadedly connected to the two screws 2. Specifically, a ratchet 13 is provided in the middle of the sleeve 12, and the ratchet 13 is welded to the outer wall of the sleeve 12. One end of the handle 11 is provided with an annular structure, which is rotatably sleeved on the sleeve 12. A pawl 14 is connected to the inner side of the handle 11 via a pin. The pawl 14 is in driving connection with the ratchet 13. Through the transmission mechanism between the ratchet 13 and the pawl 14, the ratchet 13 can be driven to rotate by the pawl 14, thereby driving the sleeve 12 to rotate.

[0029] In summary, when the self-locking tensioner provided by the present invention is used, the locking block 33 is rotated by rotating the wrench 34 to overcome the torsion force of the reset torsion spring 32, so that the locking block 33 is away from the lock housing 31 (such as Figure 4As shown), the end of the object to be tightened 6 is passed through the clamping space 4 and placed in the two lock shells 31. The wrench 34 is loosened and turned. The locking block 33 is reset and locked under the torsion of the reset torsion spring 32. The end of the tensioning object 6 is clamped in the clamping space 4 by the anti-slip teeth 333. The handle 11 is turned, and the ratchet 13 is driven to rotate by the action of the pawl 14, thereby driving the sleeve 12 to rotate. The reverse thread arrangement of the inner wall at both ends of the sleeve 12 causes the two screws 2 to move inward toward each other, driving the two self-locking structures 3 to move inward. At this time, the tensioning object 6 has a tendency to move outward relative to the self-locking structure 3. Under the joint force of the anti-slip teeth 333 and the anti-slip grooves on the tensioning object 6, the tensioning object 6 will drive the locking block 33 to move outward. Due to the arcuate edge and the anti-slip teeth 333 design on the locking block 33, after the locking block 33 moves outward, the anti-slip teeth 333 further squeeze the tensioning object 6, which will further lock the tensioning object 6 (as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown), the greater the force, the tighter the lock, which can prevent the tensioning object 6 from slipping. The tensioning object 6 is driven inward by the self-locking structure 3 to achieve a tightening effect, and its operation is convenient.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
