[0016] Beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. By setting the self-locking mechanism, the effect of automatically locking the connected screw is achieved. When the lower nut column moves down to contact the nut column, the first extrusion block will preferentially contact the workpiece, thereby pushing the extrusion block to move upward relative to the lower nut column, thereby pushing the locking block to move inward, so that the locking block compresses the screw, thereby locking the screw to achieve the effect of self-locking. Effectively avoid the loosening of the device due to external interference, and enhance the stability of the device;

[0018] 2. By setting the tapered boss and tapered cavity, the effect of further automatically locking the connected screw is achieved. Because the tapered boss is slightly larger than the tapered cavity, when the upper nut column and the lower nut column are integrated, the tapered cavity will generate an inward extrusion force on the tapered boss, thereby causing the threaded hole in the middle of the tapered boss to press the connected screw, thereby increasing the friction between the threaded hole and the screw.

[0019] 3. By setting the straight teeth and inclined teeth, the effect of facilitating the application of torque to the device is achieved. Only when it is slightly tightened, the inclined teeth can avoid slipping during tightening by rotating the nut column by hand, and the inclined direction of the inclined teeth of the upper nut column and the lower nut column is opposite, facilitating the application of torque in different directions to the upper nut column and the lower nut column, thereby facilitating the separation of the upper nut column and the lower nut column. When the device needs to be tightened firmly, a common tool such as a vise can be used to tighten the straight teeth, thereby applying greater torque to the device, thereby tightening the device.

[0020] 4. As described above, the nut column with inclined teeth can automatically lock the connected screw and facilitate the application of torque to the device by setting the self-locking mechanism, tapered boss, tapered cavity, straight teeth and inclined teeth. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
