Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fastener technology and relates to a threaded locking assembly. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of mechanical equipment, threaded connections are widely used due to their simple structure, ease of disassembly, and reusability. However, when the connection force is insufficient, threaded connections are prone to loosening, especially when facing special environmental challenges such as large temperature variations and high-frequency vibrations, where conventional threaded connection methods cannot meet the requirements. These special environments often lead to the loosening of fasteners, thereby affecting the stability and safety of mechanical equipment.

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, existing technologies have proposed several solutions. For example, patent CN212177631U discloses an anti-loosening nut and an anti-loosening connector. In this patent, the anti-loosening section of the anti-loosening nut has a relief groove that is inserted into a standard nut, creating a squeezing effect on the threads of the standard nut. Under this squeezing effect, the standard nut locks into the bolt. However, this patent has requirements on material strength and thread size, and the resulting deformation is easily recoverable, resulting in low usage frequency.

[0004] Patent CN204828246U discloses an anti-loosening internal thread component and a screw-connection device. This device works by tightening a second external thread component, causing deformation of a portion of the sidewall of the first threaded hole. This deformation, in turn, presses against the first external thread component, thus locking it in place. However, in practical applications, the two nuts are prone to compression deformation, or even jamming, making disassembly impossible and affecting its reliability and durability.

[0005] Therefore, a threaded locking assembly is needed to solve the above problems, which is of great significance. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems existing in the prior art and to provide a threaded locking assembly.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A threaded locking assembly includes an outer fixing member, an inner locking member, a disc spring, and a fixing base;

[0009] The external fastener is a hollow cylinder, and the bottom of the external fastener is sealed by the fixed base. The two are detachably connected.

[0010] The internal locking component is provided with a threaded through hole a. The internal locking component is surrounded by two C-shaped grooves with opposite openings, which are referred to as C-shaped groove a and C-shaped groove b respectively.

[0011] The inner locking component is located inside the hollow cylinder. The outer walls of C-groove a and C-groove b are slidably connected to the hollow cylinder, and the sliding direction is the axial direction of the threaded through hole a.

[0012] The disc spring is located inside the hollow cylinder and between the inner locking part and the fixed base. The C-shaped groove a is clamped between the disc spring and the top wall of the outer fixing part, and there is a gap between the C-shaped groove b and the top wall of the outer fixing part.

[0013] The top wall of the external fastener is provided with a through hole for the bolt to pass through the threaded through hole a.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution:

[0015] As described above, the external fixing component of the threaded locking assembly is a cylindrical tube.

[0016] As described above, the inner locking component is an internally threaded tube composed of C-shaped groove a and C-shaped groove b.

[0017] As described above, in a threaded locking assembly, the outer walls of C-shaped grooves a and b are respectively provided with slide grooves a and b along the axial direction of the threaded through hole a. The inner wall of the outer fixing member is provided with sliders a and b respectively cooperating with slide grooves a and b along the axial direction of the threaded through hole a. The lengths of sliders a and b are smaller than the length of the outer fixing member, so that a certain space can be left for the deformation of the disc spring.

[0018] The threaded locking assembly described above also includes a bolt a, a threaded through hole b at the bottom of the side wall of the outer fastener, and a circular through hole on the fixed base;

[0019] The fixed base is connected to the external fastener through the cooperation of bolt a, a circular through hole and a threaded through hole b.

[0020] Beneficial effects:

[0021] (1) The threaded locking assembly of this utility model causes the disc spring to deform by tightening the bolt. The force generated by the deformation of the disc spring acts on the C-groove a and C-groove b. Due to the height difference between the two, the forces on both sides of the bolt are unbalanced. This unbalanced state causes the bolt and the threaded locking assembly to form an eccentric lock nut structure, so that the bolt and the threaded locking assembly reach the meshing state and prevent the bolt from turning back, thereby achieving the effect of preventing loosening.

[0022] (2) The threaded locking assembly of this utility model can be easily removed from the locked bolt by simply removing the fixed base 5. There will be no jamming, and the disassembly is convenient.

[0023] (3) The threaded locking assembly of this utility model uses the reverse force generated by the deformation of the disc spring to make the thread fit tightly, which is not easy to loosen and can adapt to different temperature environments. Attached Figure Description
