[0002] The hydraulic nut is used for the bolt that needs to be frequently disassembled, the pre-tightening of the super large bolt, the locking of the large workpiece and the like occasions.
[0003] Due to the compact working condition and limited space of the nuclear power engineering, if the mechanical nut is used, the pre-tightening is difficult due to the need of large space for the disassembly and assembly of the nut, so it is more appropriate to use the hydraulic nut.
[0004] The hydraulic nut is mainly composed of three parts, including a hydraulic cylinder, a piston and a locking nut.
[0005] Step 1: the piston in the hydraulic cylinder is pushed by the super high pressure oil to directly apply an external force to the bolt, so that the bolt subjected to the force is stretched in the elastic deformation zone thereof;
[0006] Step 2: the locking nut is tightened after the bolt is stretched, so that the bolt is locked at the stretched position by the locking nut, and then the hydraulic cylinder is depressurized, and the hydraulic oil flows back to the pump station.
[0007] In the actual use process of the hydraulic nut, there is a gap between the threaded connection part of the locking nut and the piston.
[0008] In the above step 1, the bolt is stretched to a length that just meets the pre-tightening force, and after the hydraulic cylinder is depressurized, the stretched bolt will shrink due to the gap between the locking nut and the piston and the negative pressure state of the hydraulic cylinder, resulting in that the actual pre-tightening force is less than the preset pre-tightening force, the locking precision is reduced, and the locking is unreliable.
