Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to impeller nut technical field more specifically, the utility model relates to a kind of impeller nut that can prevent loosening. BACKGROUND

[0002] The rotating speed of impeller can be as high as hundreds of thousands of revolutions per minute, and the working environment temperature changes dramatically. Under such working conditions, in order to ensure that the equipment can run safely and efficiently under complex working conditions, a nut structure is used which can effectively prevent loosening and accurately control the connection position.

[0003] After searching, the existing patent (publication number: CN215634295U) discloses a self-locking impeller nut, which comprises a pump shaft, a pump impeller, a screw and an impeller nut. The pump impeller is installed on the pump shaft through key connection. The impeller nut is detachably installed on the end of the pump shaft in the axial direction of the pump shaft. The bottom of the impeller nut completely covers the fitting gap between the pump shaft and the pump impeller. The end face of the pump impeller is provided with four screw holes, which are distributed in a right-angled cross shape. The bottom edge of the impeller nut is provided with a plurality of notches, and the size of the notches is the same as that of the screw holes. The screw is installed in the screw hole through the notch. Through the cooperation of the screw and the notch, it is ensured that the impeller nut and the pump impeller will not rotate relative to each other, preventing the impeller nut from loosening. The inventor found that the existing technology has the following problems in the process of implementing the utility model:

[0004] The existing impeller nut will cause a small displacement of the short pin in the hole when subjected to axial tension or repeated vibration, resulting in loose connection. The contact area between the short pin and the hole is relatively small, and the local stress is easily concentrated when subjected to a large force, reducing the overall stability of the connection. Over time, this can cause the impeller nut to loosen. When the impeller nut and other connecting components loosen, the installation position of the impeller may shift slightly, causing the impeller to rotate eccentrically. Eccentricity can cause unbalanced forces during rotation of the impeller, leading to abnormal vibration. Once an abnormality occurs, due to the high-speed operation of the impeller, it is extremely easy to cause a safety accident.

[0005] Therefore, in view of the above problems, an impeller nut that can prevent loosening is proposed. Utility model content

Embodiment

[0026] Based on the embodiment 1, the scheme in embodiment 1 is further refined and introduced in detail in combination with the specific working mode as follows: Figures 1 to 4 as shown in the following description:

[0027] As a preferred embodiment, the diameter of the primary stud 4 is greater than that of the secondary stud 5, and the primary stud 4 and the secondary stud 5 are arranged in a stepped manner from small to large. The outer surface of the primary stud 4 is meshed and connected with the inner surface of the limiting lock nut 6. Further, the stepped design of the primary stud 4 with a larger diameter than the secondary stud 5 provides a more stable installation basis for the limiting lock nut 6, which facilitates the limiting lock nut 6 to pass through the primary stud 4 without being blocked by the threads.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment, the diameter of the primary thread groove 71 is greater than that of the secondary thread groove 72, and the primary thread groove 71 and the secondary thread groove 72 are arranged in a stepped manner. Further, the primary thread groove 71 with a larger diameter than the secondary thread groove 72 can accommodate the limiting lock nut 6, so that the outer surface of the limiting lock nut 6 can be smoothly meshed with the inner cavity of the secondary thread groove 72. The stepped design does not affect the meshing of the threads.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment, the secondary screw post 5 and the limiting lock nut 6 are sequentially sleeved into the impeller nut 7 and are connected with the secondary thread groove 72 and the primary thread groove 71 respectively; further, when the secondary screw post 5 and the secondary thread groove 72 and the limiting lock nut 6 and the primary thread groove 71 are connected respectively, a multi-level close connection structure is formed, and the connection mode makes the components intermesh and tightly fit and be constrained, thereby greatly enhancing the close connection.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment, the threads between the primary screw post 4 and the secondary screw post 5 are arranged in opposite directions, and the threads between the primary screw post 4, the primary thread groove 71 and the secondary thread groove 72 are arranged in the same direction; further, the bidirectional thread structure of the intermeshing components effectively prevents the nut from loosening and generates a counterforce, thereby greatly improving the stability of the connection and reducing the risk of equipment failure caused by nut loosening.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment, the closure cover 10 is connected with the mounting groove 8 through the bolt 11, and the inner surface of the mounting groove 8 and the outer surface of the vibration sensor 9 abut each other; further, the closure cover 10 is firmly connected with the mounting groove 8 through the bolt 11, and the mounting groove 8 forms a relatively closed space to wrap the vibration sensor 9.

[0032] The working process of the utility model is as follows: firstly, the outer surface of the primary screw post 4 is provided with threads, and the inner surface of the limiting lock nut 6 is also provided with matching threads, and the output shaft 3 side of the impeller shaft body 1 is combined, the driving shaft 2 transmits the output power of the transmission system to the impeller shaft body 1, because the diameter of the primary screw post 4 is larger than that of the secondary screw post 5 and is distributed in a stepped manner, and the limiting lock nut 6 is specially installed on the outer surface of the primary screw post 4, during installation, the limiting lock nut 6 is moved and rotated along the axial direction of the primary screw post 4, so that the inner threads of the limiting lock nut 6 and the outer threads of the primary screw post 4 gradually intermesh and are screwed, with the rotation operation, the limiting lock nut 6 will gradually move to the appropriate position along the threads of the primary screw post 4, and finally realize the close intermeshing connection, the outer surface of the secondary screw post 5 is provided with threads, and the hole diameter of the secondary thread groove 72 is matched with the size of the secondary screw post 5, when installing, the impeller nut 7 is sleeved from one end of the secondary screw post 5, so that the secondary screw post 5 gradually enters the inner cavity of the impeller nut 7, with the movement of the impeller nut 7, the outer threads of the secondary screw post 5 will contact and intermesh with the secondary thread groove 72 of the impeller nut 7, by rotating the impeller nut 7, the secondary screw post 5 will gradually screw and penetrate along the threads of the secondary thread groove 72, until the installation position required by the design is reached, thereby realizing the close intermeshing connection of the two;

[0033] The inner cavity of the impeller nut 7 is provided with a primary thread groove 71, which has a larger hole diameter than the secondary thread groove 72 and is distributed in a stepped manner. On the basis of having been engaged with the primary stud 4, the outer surface of the limiting lock nut 6 gradually contacts the inner surface of the primary thread groove 71 of the impeller nut 7 during the operation of sleeving the impeller nut 7 into the secondary stud 5 and the limiting lock nut 6. Since the primary thread groove 71 and the secondary thread groove 72 are distributed in a stepped manner, and the hole diameter of the primary thread groove 71 is larger, the outer surface of the limiting lock nut 6 can be accommodated. Similarly, by rotating the impeller nut 7, the outer surface thread of the limiting lock nut 6 is engaged and screwed with the inner thread of the primary thread groove 71 of the impeller nut 7, and finally the engagement and connection of the two are realized. The bidirectional thread structure generates a counteracting force, so that the impeller nut 7, the limiting lock nut 6 and the secondary stud 5 form a whole that is mutually restricted and tightly fitted, and the impeller is limited on one side of the output shaft 3. When the impeller nut 7 is working normally, the vibration of the components is within a certain range, which is determined by pre-test or design parameters of the equipment. The vibration sensor 9 monitors the frequency and amplitude of the vibration signal in real time in the inner cavity of the mounting groove 8. The closed cover 10 is fixed to one side of the mounting groove 8 by four bolts 11, and the vibration sensor 9 is packaged. When the impeller nut 7 and other parts have abnormal conditions such as loosening, imbalance, wear, etc., the frequency and amplitude of the vibration will change. After the vibration sensor 9 detects abnormal vibration, it will send the signal to the control terminal through wireless communication. The above is the working principle of the impeller nut that can prevent loosening.
