TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to mechanical manufacturing technical field, and specifically relates to a flat washer with locking function. BACKGROUND
[0002] In many mechanical connection and assembly applications, bolt connection is a common way. However, the bolt is easy to appear loose phenomenon when being influenced by factors such as vibration, impact, temperature change. The traditional flat washer mainly plays the role of dispersing the axial pressure of the bolt, protecting the connection surface. It is usually a simple circular sheet, and the friction between it and the bolt and the connection surface is limited. When facing vibration and impact, this friction is often insufficient to prevent the loosening of the bolt. With the continuous development of industrial technology, the reliability requirement of mechanical connection is higher and higher. In the field of aerospace, the plane will experience complex airflow changes and strong vibration during flight, and the fastening requirement of bolt connection is extremely high. Any loosening of a bolt can cause serious safety accidents.
[0003] The flat washer with locking function has the defects that the flat washer itself is usually rigid and has no elasticity like the spring washer. When subjected to dynamic loads such as vibration and impact, the flat washer cannot provide a sustained elastic restoring force to offset the external force that loosens the connection. The surface of the flat washer is relatively smooth, and the friction generated when it is in contact with the nut, bolt or connected component is limited. In the long-term use process, especially in the environment with vibration or temperature change, this limited friction is easy to be overcome. The flat washer has no elastic deformation ability to compensate for the gap between the connected components or the displacement caused by various factors. In the assembly process, if there is a small gap between the components or a gap is generated due to wear, deformation and other reasons during use, the flat washer cannot deform itself to fill the gap and maintain a tight connection like the elastic washer.
