Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to a self-locking U-bolt. Background Technology

[0002] U-bolts are a common type of fastener, typically used to secure pipes, cables, and mechanical components. They are shaped like the letter "U" and have threads at both ends, allowing them to be tightened with nuts. The size of a U-bolt is usually determined by parameters such as its diameter, bending radius, and thread length.

[0003] Traditional U-bolts are prone to loosening under vibration or dynamic load conditions, leading to connection failure. Over time, the preload of the bolts may gradually weaken, further exacerbating the loosening problem. To prevent loosening, traditional U-bolts usually require the use of auxiliary parts such as spring washers, lock nuts, and thread sealant, which increases the complexity and cost of installation. Using auxiliary parts not only increases the number of installation steps but may also result in unsatisfactory locking effects due to improper installation. Because traditional U-bolts are prone to loosening, they need to be inspected and retightened regularly, increasing maintenance costs and workload. Under vibration or high load conditions, traditional U-bolts wear and fail more quickly, potentially requiring frequent replacement.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a self-locking U-bolt to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0031] In this embodiment, the locking assembly 2 is installed by clamping two sets of clamping plates 21 on the upper and lower sides of the front end of the U-shaped stud 1, ensuring that the clamping grooves 22 on the clamping plates 21 are tightly fitted with the two sides of the U-shaped stud 1. The locking bolts 24 are passed through the locking holes 23 on both sides of the clamping plates 21, and the locking nuts 25 are installed at the bottom of the lower clamping plate 21. By tightening the locking nuts 25, the clamping plates 21 and the U-shaped stud 1 are tightly fixed to prevent loosening.

[0032] In this embodiment, the installation of the reinforcing component 3 involves installing the adjusting cylinder 31 on the outer wall of one side of the U-shaped stud 1, ensuring that the internal thread of the adjusting cylinder 31 matches the thread at the front end of the U-shaped stud 1. A movable ring 32 is installed on the outer wall of the adjusting cylinder 31, and an adjusting reinforcing plate 33 is installed on the outer wall of the movable ring 32.
