Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to nut technical field especially relates to a locking nut. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the mine and tunnel concrete spraying operation, the stable operation of equipment is related to the engineering progress and construction safety, the oil cylinder piston rod is as a key component, and the stability of the connecting part is very important, and the connecting locking nut used on the oil cylinder piston rod is one of the core elements guaranteeing the normal operation of the whole equipment. Because the mine and tunnel operation environment is complex, the equipment will bear strong vibration, impact and various complex stress in the running process, which puts forward very high requirements on the performance of the locking nut, and it is an urgent need to develop a locking nut that can adapt to harsh working conditions and ensure firm and reliable connection to promote the technical progress of the mine and tunnel concrete spraying equipment.

[0003] The traditional nut used for connecting the oil cylinder piston rod mostly adopts ordinary thread fastening mode, and the structure is simple, that is, the threaded part of the piston rod is directly screwed into a standard nut, and the fastening is realized through the friction force between the nut and the thread. The technical principle of this connection mode is based on simple thread engagement, and it can play a certain role in the relatively stable and less vibrating environment. However, in the complex and harsh working environment of mine and tunnel, its limitations gradually become apparent.

[0004] In the actual operation of the mine and tunnel concrete spraying equipment, the traditional nut has the problem of easy loosening. Due to the strong and continuous vibration in the working environment and the repeated action of complex external force, the friction force generated by ordinary thread connection is difficult to maintain the fastening state of the nut for a long time. With the passage of time, the nut will gradually loosen, resulting in a gap in the connecting part of the oil cylinder piston rod, which not only affects the stability of the equipment operation, reduces the accuracy and efficiency of concrete spraying, but also causes more serious safety hazards. Therefore, a locking nut is proposed to solve the above problems. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0033] Specifically, in the use of the locking nut, first, the worker aligns the center hole of the locking sleeve 4 with the threaded rod 2, and then puts the locking sleeve 4 on the outer wall of the threaded rod 2. Then, the worker uses a tool to clamp the outer wall of the locking sleeve 4 and rotates the locking sleeve 4. Since the inner wall of the locking sleeve 4 is threaded with the threads on the outer wall of the threaded rod 2, during the rotation, the locking sleeve 4 is displaced along the axial direction of the threaded rod 2 from one end of the threaded rod 2 to the appropriate position. After the locking sleeve 4 is rotated and displaced to the appropriate position that meets the installation requirements, the worker picks up the connecting plate 3, aligns the center hole of the connecting plate 3 with the threaded rod 2, and then puts the connecting plate 3 on the outer wall of the threaded rod 2. The worker manually pushes the connecting plate 3 to make it slide along the axial direction of the threaded rod 2 from one end of the threaded rod 2 to the outer wall of the sleeve column 5 of the side wall of the locking sleeve 4 until the connecting plate 3 is tightly attached to the outer wall of the sleeve column 5. Then, the worker aligns the center hole of the locking nut 6 with the threaded rod 2, and then puts the locking nut 6 on the outer wall of the threaded rod 2. Then, the worker uses a tool to clamp the outer wall of the locking nut 6 and rotates the locking nut 6 to displace from one end of the threaded rod 2 to the outer wall of the sleeve column 5. As the rotation continues, the locking nut 6 gradually approaches the sleeve column 5 until the outer wall of the sleeve column 5 is embedded in the inner wall of the locking nut 6. At this time, the tapered slope 8 of the inner wall of the locking nut 6 begins to contact and interact with the tapered groove 7 of the outer wall of the sleeve column 5. As the locking nut 6 continues to rotate, the tapered slope 8 exerts a squeezing force on the tapered groove 7. Under the action of this squeezing force, the tapered groove 7 of the outer wall of the sleeve column 5 is deformed. This deformation increases the radial dimension of the sleeve column 5, generates a bulging force, and the bulging force of the sleeve column 5 acts between the locking nut 6 and the oil cylinder piston rod 1, increasing the friction between the locking nut 6 and the oil cylinder piston rod 1. This achieves the effect of preventing the locking sleeve 4 and the locking nut 6 from being easily loosened on the oil cylinder piston rod 1, ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire connecting structure during use.

[0034] Working principle: when using the locking nut, first, the staff will be locked in the nut 4 in the cylinder piston rod 1 front end of the threaded rod 2 outer wall, and use the tool to rotate the locking nut 4, the locking nut 4 is rotated to the appropriate position under the action of the thread on the inner wall of the locking nut 4 and the thread of the threaded rod 2, at this time, the staff will be connected to the plate 3 in the threaded rod 2 outer wall, and slide to the outside of the sleeve column 5 of the locking nut 4 side wall, then the locking nut 6 is sleeved on the threaded rod 2 outer wall, and the locking nut 6 is rotated under the action of the thread on the inner wall of the locking nut 6 and the thread of the threaded rod 2 outer wall, the locking nut 6 is displaced to the outside of the sleeve column 5, so that the sleeve column 5 outside wall is embedded in the inner wall of the locking nut 6, at this time, under the extrusion of the taper slope 8 on the inner wall of the locking nut 6, the taper groove 7 on the outer wall of the sleeve column 5 is deformed, so that the radial expansion of the sleeve column 5 generates the expansion force, so that the friction between the locking nut 6 and the cylinder piston rod 1 increases, so as to prevent the locking nut 4 and the locking nut 6 from being loose on the cylinder piston rod 1.

[0035] Finally, it should be pointed out that: the above only for the preferred embodiments of the utility model, and not for limiting the utility model, although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for the skilled in the art, it still can modify the technical scheme recorded in the foregoing each embodiment, or make equivalent replacement to part of the technical features, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the utility model, should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
