TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of hydraulic nut, especially to a kind of anti-retreating hydraulic nut. BACKGROUND
[0002] Hydraulic nut is used for the bolt that needs to be frequently disassembled;The pre-tightening of oversized bolt;Locking of large workpiece and other occasions.For example: nuclear power engineering.Its principle is to use ultra-high pressure oil to generate a thrust on the shaft and a tension on the shaft sleeve, so that the shaft and the shaft sleeve are evenly connected under stress.
[0003] Due to the compact working condition of nuclear power engineering, the space is limited, if mechanical nut is used, the disassembly and installation of nut will require a large space, which will lead to pre-tightening difficulty, so hydraulic nut is more suitable.Nuclear power engineering works in high temperature environment and generates vibration during work, so the nut used for connection is prone to looseness, and based on the particularity of nuclear power engineering, radiation often exists, therefore, nuclear power engineering cannot be frequently overhauled, which will affect the health of workers, so the hydraulic nut needs to have good thermal stability and good sealing to ensure that the hydraulic nut works for 50 years.
[0004] The hydraulic nut mainly consists of three parts, including hydraulic cylinder, piston and locking nut, the piston is located in the hydraulic cylinder and is in sliding connection with the hydraulic cylinder, the piston is provided with internal thread and external thread, the internal thread is connected with the bolt, and the external thread is connected with the locking nut.The operation steps of hydraulic nut are as follows:
[0005] Step 1: use ultra-high pressure oil to push the piston in the hydraulic cylinder to directly apply external force to the bolt, so that the bolt under the applied force is stretched in its elastic deformation zone;
[0006] Step 2: after the bolt is stretched, the locking nut is tightened, so that the bolt is locked in 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 hydraulic nut, there is a gap between the thread connection part of the locking nut and the piston.
[0008] In the above step 1, the bolt will be stretched to a length that just meets the pre-tightening force, when the hydraulic cylinder is depressurized, due to the negative pressure state of the hydraulic cylinder and the gap between the locking nut and the piston, the stretched bolt will shrink, 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. SUMMARY

Compared with the first thread surface forming a 3° angle with the rotation axis and the second thread surface forming a 30° angle with the rotation axis according to the national standard, the connection strength is better and the anti-back effect is better.
[0014] Further, the first thread surface provided on the locking nut is opposite to the first thread surface provided on the piston and abuts against each other when the hydraulic nut is depressurized. Further, the hydraulic cylinder is provided with an oil cavity and a linkage cavity, the oil cavity is in communication with the linkage cavity, the oil cavity is located above the linkage cavity, and the diameter of the oil cavity is larger than the diameter of the linkage cavity.
[0015] Further, the piston comprises an upper part and a lower part, the diameter of the upper part is larger than the diameter of the lower part, the outer side of the upper part is provided with a sliding member, the sliding member is in sliding connection with the inner wall of the oil cavity, the outer thread of the piston is provided on the outer side of the upper part, the outer thread of the piston is located above the sliding member, and the lower part is in sliding connection with the linkage cavity.
[0016] The middle part of the piston is provided with a connecting hole penetrating upward and downward, the inner thread is provided on the hole wall of the connecting hole, and the diameter of the connecting hole is equal to the diameter of the bolt.
[0017] The piston is provided with a groove, and the groove is in communication with the flow channel.

[0019] Further, the locking nut is provided with a plurality of connecting holes for connecting a screwing tool.
[0020] Further, the hydraulic nut is made of non-magnetic material, which can ensure the mechanical properties of the hydraulic nut.
[0021] The anti-back hydraulic nut has the advantages that the thread for connecting the locking nut and the piston is provided as a sawtooth thread, the sawtooth shape can generate friction with the surface of the cooperating piece during rotation, thereby increasing the firmness and sealing property of the thread, the sawtooth thread can prevent loosening or falling off, the service life and stability of the thread are improved, the thread tooth of the sawtooth thread is not prone to deformation, the gap between the inner and outer threads after meshing is smaller, the sawtooth thread has good anti-back effect during pressure relief of the hydraulic nut, and the pre-tightening effect is good.
