The word comprising and the like does not necessarily mean that all the following listed elements must be included. The word "a" or "an" preceding an element does not exclude the presence of more than one of the element. Further, the description given above largely describes only the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and is not intended to represent the only forms in which the present disclosure can be constructed or utilized. The following aspects of the present disclosure can be used separately or in any combination.

[0024] Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and the present disclosure, and will not be interpreted in an overly literal or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.

[0025] The nut is a common mechanical fastener, which is a metal fitting with internal threads, used to cooperate with a bolt to achieve the connection and fixation between two parts. The existing nut is mostly hexagonal in shape, and the side surface of the nut is a vertical surface. When the sleeve is tightened, the axes of the two need to coincide to achieve tightening. However, when fixed in a small space, it is difficult to use the sleeve vertically to achieve coaxial cooperation with the nut for locking. Moreover, the fastening method is single. Due to space limitations, artificial knocking and hollow hydraulic wrench are mainly used as fastening methods, which not only consumes time and effort, but also has low operation efficiency.

[0026] A nut is disclosed in the utility model, please refer to Figs. 1 to 4In some embodiments, the nut comprises a nut body 1 and an abutting section 2, the nut body 1 comprises a central threaded hole 10 and a plurality of continuous and intersecting outer arc surfaces 11 on the outer periphery. The outer sleeve can be clamped at any angle on the outer arc surface 11, and can drive the nut body 1 to rotate, realizing the tightening and fixing of the nut. Specifically, the clamping angle of the sleeve and the outer arc surface 11 can be 25 degrees, 30 degrees, 35 degrees, 40 degrees, etc. When the nut is in a narrow space, the sleeve is clamped on the nut body 1 at a certain angle, and the nut can still be rotated by rotating the sleeve to fix the nut on the working surface. The abutting section 2 is connected to the nut body 1 at one end and abuts the working surface at the other end. By increasing the abutting section 2, the contact area between the nut body 1 and the working surface is increased, which on the one hand improves the friction between the working surface and the nut and the shock resistance of the entire nut, thereby increasing the stability of the connection between the nut and the working surface; on the other hand, it reduces the acting pressure intensity of the nut body 1 directly on the working surface, thereby improving the carrying capacity of the nut.

[0027] Further, in order to avoid the sleeve being clamped on the outer arc surface 11 of the nut body 1 and interfering with the working surface, causing the sleeve to be unable to drive the nut to rotate due to position limitation, in some embodiments, the nut further comprises a transition section 3, which is arranged between the nut body 1 and the abutting section 2, and is used to provide a certain transition space between the nut body 1 and the sleeve and between the abutting surface and the working surface, so as to avoid the top of the sleeve abutting the abutting section 2 when the sleeve is clamped on the outer arc surface 11, affecting the rotation of the sleeve, and further affecting the tightening and fixing of the nut.

[0028] It can be understood that in some embodiments, the nut body 1, the transition section 3 and the abutting section 2 are coaxially arranged to ensure that when the sleeve is used to tighten or loosen the nut, the sleeve is clamped on the nut body 1 to drive the transition section 3 and the abutting section 2 to rotate together, so that the nut can rotate under the action of the sleeve regardless of the direction of the force acting on the nut, thereby completing the tightening and loosening of the nut.

[0029] In some embodiments, the diameter of the nut body 1 is greater than the diameter of the transition section 3 and less than or equal to the diameter of the abutting section 2. In order to ensure that the transition section 3 does not jam in the sleeve when the nut body 1 is tightened or loosened by the sleeve, the diameter of the transition section 3 is smaller than the diameter of the nut body 1 and the diameter of the abutting section 2, so as to avoid the sleeve being clamped on the transition section 3. In addition, the diameter of the nut body 1 is less than or equal to the diameter of the abutting section 2, so that when the abutting section 2 abuts the working surface, the contact area between the nut and the working surface is enlarged compared to when the nut body 1 abuts the working surface, thereby reducing the acting pressure intensity of the nut on the working surface when the sleeve is tightened, and reducing the vibration generated on the working surface due to impact, thereby ensuring the stability and service life of the connection between the nut and the working surface.

[0030] In order to ensure the rigidity of the nut as a whole and avoid damage to the nut when being tightened, in some embodiments, the nut body 1, the transition section 3 and the abutting section 2 are integrally formed, which can avoid the nut body 1 from being broken under the action of torsional force and causing the nut to fail and affect the fixation between the nut and the working surface when the sleeve is sleeved on the nut body 1 and the nut is tightened by rotating the sleeve.

[0031] In some embodiments, the nut is a cap-shaped nut, and the threaded hole 10 penetrates through the transition section 3 and the abutting section 2, so that the bolt or screw does not pass through the nut body 1, thereby protecting the tail of the bolt or screw from being damaged under the influence of external force and affecting subsequent disassembly, and achieving the purpose of prolonging the service life of the nut and the bolt to be fixed.

[0032] In other embodiments, the threaded hole 10 penetrates through the nut body 1, the transition section 3 and the abutting section 2, so that the bolt or screw passes through the nut body 1 to be tightened on the working surface under the action of the sleeve, thereby ensuring the effectiveness of the connection between the working surface and the connected structure by the nut. At this time, the bolt cooperating with the nut can also be connected to other structural members to achieve the connection of multiple structures by a single bolt. In addition, when the bolt passes through the surface of other structural members, the nut of the present application can also be used for fastening.

[0033] Further, in actual application, the threaded hole 10 can be a forward threaded hole or a reverse threaded hole according to actual conditions or different connection structures, and when the nut is used to fasten and connect the working surface and the connected structure, the sleeve is used and the rotation direction is rotated according to the actual conditions to make the operation more convenient, so as to achieve the tightening or loosening of the nut.

[0034] In some embodiments, the cross section of the nut body is a regular hexagon, that is, the central angle of the outer arc surface is 60 degrees, and the six sides of the nut body 1 are composed of a specific circular arc curve. The sleeve can be fastened within a 30-degree angle along the center line of the nut body 1, so that the sleeve can realize different angle transmission and conversion between the sleeve axis and the nut body 1 axis, greatly improving the flexibility and adaptability during fastening.

[0035] It is obvious for those skilled in the art that the present application is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present application. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and therefore all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be included in the present application. Any reference signs in the claims should not be regarded as limiting the claims involved.
