Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of leak-sealing box technology, specifically to a quick-release nut for a leak-sealing box. Background Technology

[0002] The leak-sealing box is mainly used for emergency pipe sealing when the ship's hull is breached and flooded. Therefore, it must be fast, accurate, and reliable. Existing leak-sealing methods take about 19 seconds or more, and most of the time is spent tightening the nuts, which is not conducive to fast leak sealing.

[0003] Currently, the metal leak-sealing box fastening nuts require installation on the screw rod during actual use. The nut must be initially rotated from the end of the screw rod to a position where it contacts the leak-sealing box. The fixed length of the screw rod results in a long installation time, low efficiency, and inconvenience in confined spaces when the nut is installed on a long screw rod. Furthermore, when the nut is initially engaged with the screw rod, the swaying of the hull on the water makes it difficult to align the nut and screw rod, hindering efficient damage control in a timely manner. Therefore, we propose a quick-release nut for the leak-sealing box. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing leak-sealing box fastening nuts, this utility model provides a quick-release nut for the leak-sealing box. This nut improves the ease of positioning the first and second nut bodies with the screw during installation by opening and sleeve them onto the screw rod. It also reduces the time required for spiral installation from the end to the front of the leak-sealing box, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a quick-release nut for a leak-stopping box, comprising a first nut body, a second nut body mounted on the side of the first nut body via a hinge, a mounting base fixedly connected to the middle of the side of both the first and second nut bodies, an mounting groove provided inside the mounting base, an mounting sleeve sleeved on the outside of the mounting base, a limit buckle fixedly connected inside the mounting sleeve, a rotating handle fixedly connected to the side of the mounting sleeve, and a locking mechanism mounted on the other end of the first and second nut bodies.

[0006] Preferably, the locking mechanism includes an upper housing and a lower housing, the upper housing being fixedly connected to one end of the first nut body, and the lower housing being fixedly connected to one end of the second nut body.

[0007] Preferably, a sliding groove is provided on the side of the upper housing, a locking tongue is fixedly connected inside the upper housing, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the upper end of the locking tongue, and the connecting rod is movably sleeved inside the sliding groove.

[0008] Preferably, a sealing cap is installed at the upper end of the connecting rod via a spring, and the sealing cap is threaded onto the outside of the upper end of the upper housing.

[0009] Preferably, the lower end of the locking tongue has an inclined surface, and the lower end of the locking tongue is movably sleeved inside the upper end of the lower housing.

[0010] Preferably, the limiting buckle is movably sleeved inside the mounting groove, and the mounting groove is installed on both sides inside the mounting base, with the inner side of the limiting buckle being arc-shaped.

[0011] Preferably, the first nut body and the second nut body are assembled into a circle, and the first nut body and the second nut body are threadedly connected to the screw installed on the outside of the sealing box.

[0012] Compared with existing leak-sealing box fastening nuts, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0013] 1. The quick-release nut of this leak-sealing box can be closed and opened through the first nut body and the second nut body. That is, when the nut is installed, the first nut body and the second nut body can extend to the end of the screw and close the first nut body and the second nut body, driving the locking mechanism to close and fix it. That is, it can be locked again by rotating the first nut body and the second nut body, which improves the convenience of installing the nut on the screw.

[0014] 2. The quick-release nut of this leak-sealing box is installed inside the upper housing via a locking tongue. The locking tongue can be pushed and engaged inside the lower housing by the elastic action of a spring. That is, when the first nut body and the second nut body are closed, the locking tongue can be engaged inside the lower housing with the lower end forming an inclined surface, which improves the stability of the upper and lower housings when they are joined together. By pulling the connecting rod to the rear end, the connecting rod drives the locking tongue to disengage from the lower housing, which improves the convenience of nut removal.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The quick-release nut for the leak-sealing box includes a first nut body 1. A second nut body 3 is mounted on the side of the first nut body 1 via a hinge 2. The first nut body 1 and the second nut body 3 can be opened and closed. A mounting base 4 is fixedly connected to the middle of the side of both the first nut body 1 and the second nut body 3. The mounting base 4 has an internal mounting groove 5. A mounting sleeve 6 is sleeved on the outside of the mounting base 4. A limit buckle 7 is fixedly connected inside the mounting sleeve 6. The limit buckle 7 is engaged inside the mounting groove 5 by the mounting sleeve 6, which improves the ease of connection between the mounting base 4 and the mounting sleeve 6. A rotating handle 8 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting sleeve 6. Rotating the rotating handle 8 causes the first nut body 1 and the second nut body 3 to rotate. A locking mechanism 9 is installed at the other end of the first nut body 1 and the second nut body 3.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 The locking mechanism 9 includes an upper housing 10 and a lower housing 11. The upper housing 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the first nut body 1, and the lower housing 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the second nut body 3. By installing the upper housing 10 and the lower housing 11 on the outside of the first nut body 1 and the second nut body 3, the first nut body 1 and the second nut body 3 are closed, which drives the upper housing 10 and the lower housing 11 to be aligned and installed. At the same time, the limiting device installed inside the lower housing 11 can limit the position between the first nut body 1 and the second nut body 3, ensuring that the first nut body 1 and the second nut body 3 are convenient to install on the outside of the leak-sealing box.

[0024] Please see Figure 5The upper housing 10 has a sliding groove 12 on its side. A locking tongue 13 is fixedly connected inside the upper housing 10. A connecting rod 14 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the locking tongue 13. The connecting rod 14 is movably sleeved inside the sliding groove 12. The locking tongue 13 is installed inside the upper housing 10 by the connecting rod 14. The sliding groove 12 limits the movement trajectory of the connecting rod 14. Pulling the connecting rod 14 upward will cause the locking tongue 13 to disengage from the lower housing 11.

[0025] Please see Figure 5 A sealing cover 16 is installed on the upper end of the connecting rod 14 via a spring 15. The sealing cover 16 is threaded onto the outside of the upper end of the upper housing 10. The sealing cover 16 is installed on the upper part of the connecting rod 14 via the spring 15. After the sealing cover 16 is installed on the upper end of the upper housing 10, it drives the spring 15 to limit the position. At the same time, the spring 15 pushes the connecting rod 14 downward. When the locking tongue 13 slides into the interior of the lower housing 11, it prevents the locking tongue 13 from sliding out of the interior of the lower housing 11 when the equipment is in use.

[0026] Please see Figure 5 The lower end of the locking tongue 13 has a beveled surface. The lower end of the locking tongue 13 is movably sleeved inside the upper end of the lower housing 11. Because the lower end of the locking tongue 13 is beveled, when the first nut body 1 and the hinge 2 are closed, the upper housing 10 drives the locking tongue 13 to move to the upper part of the upper housing 10. At the same time, the beveled surface of the lower end of the locking tongue 13 contacts the upper part of the lower housing 11, and the lower housing 11 pushes the locking tongue 13 open, controlling the locking tongue 13 to be sleeved inside the lower housing 11.

[0027] Please see Figure 4 The limiting buckle 7 is movably sleeved inside the mounting groove 5. The mounting groove 5 is installed on both sides inside the mounting base 4. The inner side of the limiting buckle 7 is arc-shaped. The mounting base 4 is installed through the side of the first nut body 1. The mounting base 4 has a mounting groove 5 inside. The control mounting sleeve 6 is installed from the upper end of the first nut body 1. The mounting sleeve 6 drives the limiting buckle 7 to engage inside the mounting groove 5. That is, the position between the mounting base 4 and the mounting sleeve 6 is mutually sleeved and limited. Take the rotating handle 8 and rotate the first nut body 1. That is, the first nut body 1 and the second nut body 3 are threadedly sleeved on the outside of the screw, which saves time when tightening the first nut body 1.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 The first nut body 1 and the second nut body 3 are assembled into a circle. At the same time, the first nut body 1 and the second nut body 3 are threadedly connected to the screw installed on the outside of the leak-sealing box. After the first nut body 1 and the second nut body 3 are assembled into a whole, the first nut body 1 and the second nut body 3 can extend to the top of the screw. Rotating the first nut body 1 will fix the outside of the leak-sealing box, thereby improving the convenience of the leak-sealing box installation.

[0029] Working principle: In use, when the first nut body 1 and the second nut body 3 are installed outside the leak-sealing box, by opening the first nut body 1 and the second nut body 3, the first nut body 1 and the second nut body 3 are moved to the screw near the leak-sealing box. The handle 8 is turned to close the first nut body 1 and the second nut body 3, causing the upper housing 10 and the lower housing 11 to contact each other. At the same time, the locking tongue 13 contacts the lower housing 11. Under the elastic action of the spring 15, the locking tongue 13 extends into the interior of the lower housing 11, that is, the position between the upper housing 10 and the lower housing 11 can be limited. At the same time, rotating the handle 8 causes the first nut body 1 and the second nut body 3 to be threaded onto the outside of the screw, improving the convenience of installing the first nut body 1 outside the screw. It also provides an outward pulling link 14 to drive the locking tongue 13 out of the lower housing 11, that is, the first nut body 1 and the second nut body 3 can be separated and opened, improving the convenience of nut installation.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
