Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hardware fastener technology, specifically to a mounting nut plate. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industry and various mechanical assembly fields, nut plates play a crucial role as a key connecting component. A traditional nut plate typically consists of a plate body, a nut fixed to the plate body, and mounting holes on the plate body corresponding coaxially to the nut. These mounting holes allow for secure installation onto other components, providing them with a nut-like structure that can be fitted with bolts. Nut plates are widely used in the assembly of numerous pieces of equipment.

[0003] However, with technological advancements and the increasing trend towards product miniaturization and refinement, the drawbacks of conventional nut plates have gradually become apparent. On one hand, to ensure stable nut placement and reliable connection with other components, the plate is often designed with a large area. In practical applications, this places higher demands on other components, requiring a sufficiently spacious mounting surface to accommodate the nut plate. However, in reality, many devices have compact structures, and the area available for nut plate installation may be extremely limited, especially for precision instruments and small electronic product housings, where the mounting surface is relatively small. In such cases, traditional large-area nut plates are difficult to install smoothly, greatly limiting their applicability and necessitating improvements to meet diverse assembly needs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the problems pointed out in the background art, this utility model proposes an installation nut plate to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] A mounting plate for mounting nuts includes a plate body on which a nut is fixedly mounted. The plate body includes a first plate body and a second plate body that are perpendicular to each other. The nut is fixedly mounted on the second plate body. The width of the second plate body is equal to the outer diameter of the nut. Fixing holes are provided on the first plate body and the second plate body respectively.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that one side of the plate in the width direction and one side of the plate in the width direction are hinged to each other.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the second plate is provided with a plug-in block, the plug-in block extends along the length direction of the second plate, and the plug-in block and the nut are respectively located on both sides of the second plate in the thickness direction.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that plate one is hinged to both sides of plate two in the width direction.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that there are two plates, and the two plates are respectively located on both sides of the width direction of the plate.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the fixing holes on the second plate are misaligned with the plug-in blocks.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the second plate has a protruding hinge portion, the first plate has a hinge groove corresponding to the hinge portion, and also includes a hinge hole penetrating the hinge portion and the first plate, with a hinge shaft connected inside the hinge hole.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] The nut plate of this application has two plates, which can be fixedly installed on two sides of the mounting component respectively, thus solving the problem of difficult installation due to narrow mounting surfaces.

[0015] By using two or even three plates to fix and connect to multiple surfaces of the mounting component, the structural strength of the connection between the nut plate and the mounting component is enhanced.

[0016] The angle between plate one and plate two can be adjusted by rotation, thus adapting to the fixed installation of two mounting surfaces with different included angles and improving the product's adaptability.

[0017] The second plate is equipped with a plug-in block, which allows for the creation of corresponding plug-in slots on the mounting components, thereby improving the tightness of the connection between the product and the mounting components and enhancing the structural strength.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] For reference as follows Figures 1-4 The present invention will be described as follows:

[0026] Example: A mounting plate for mounting nuts includes a plate body, on which a nut 1 is fixedly mounted. The plate body includes a first plate body 2 and a second plate body 3 that are perpendicular to each other, and the nut 1 is fixedly mounted on the second plate body 3.

[0027] The width of plate 2 (3) is equal to the outer diameter of nut 1. This design allows for a more compact and rational layout of nut 1 on plate 2 (3), avoiding space waste caused by an excessively wide plate. Especially in narrow installation environments, the compact structure can more accurately adapt to limited space. When the nut plate is used with other components, this width design reduces the risk of unnecessary interference, ensuring a smooth and unobstructed installation process.

[0028] Fixing holes 4 are provided on plate 1 (2) and plate 2 (3). In actual installation, by inserting suitable connectors, such as bolts or pins, into the fixing holes 4, plate 1 (2) and plate 2 (3) can be tightly fitted and fixed to the corresponding surfaces of the mounting components.

[0029] Traditional nut plates are mostly single-plate designs with a large surface area. When faced with narrow mounting surfaces for components, their large size often prevents proper installation. The nut plate of this application innovatively employs a two-plate structure: plate 2 and plate 3, which can be fixed to two different surfaces of the component. For example, in the assembly of casings for small electronic devices, the internal area available for nut plate installation is extremely limited, consisting only of a narrow frame area. In this case, plate 2 of the nut plate can fit against the side of the frame, and plate 3 against the bottom surface, fully utilizing two surfaces with different orientations to complete the installation. This cleverly avoids the installation difficulties caused by narrow mounting surfaces and greatly expands the applicability of the nut plate.

[0030] One side of plate 2 in the width direction and one side of plate 3 in the width direction are hinged together. Since the angle between plate 2 and plate 3 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, when facing two mounting surfaces with different included angles, the operator only needs to manually or with the help of simple tools gently rotate plate 2 or plate 3 to accurately adjust their relative angles, so that plate 2 fits tightly against one mounting surface and plate 3 fits tightly against the other mounting surface at the same time. This ensures that the nut plate can be firmly installed on mounting surfaces with complex included angles, greatly expanding the applicable scenarios of the nut plate and reducing the obstacles to assembly work caused by irregular mounting surfaces.

[0031] The hinge between plate 2 and plate 3 is achieved by a protruding hinge part 6 on plate 3, corresponding to a hinge groove 7 on plate 2. The shape and size of the hinge groove 7 are precisely matched with the hinge part 6, forming a tight nesting relationship. A hinge hole penetrating both the hinge part 6 and plate 2 is also provided. The machining precision of the hinge hole is extremely high; its diameter, cylindricity, and other parameters must meet strict tolerance standards to ensure that the hinge shaft 8 can be smoothly inserted without any wobbling.

[0032] The second plate 3 is equipped with a plug-in block 5, which extends along the length of the second plate 3. The plug-in block 5 and the nut 1 are located on opposite sides of the second plate 3 along its thickness. On one hand, the nut 1 on one side serves the crucial function of fastening the bolt; on the other hand, the plug-in block 5 on the other side provides a path for deep integration with the mounting components. Both perform their respective functions while cooperating with each other, avoiding conflicts and overlaps in functional areas, thus making the structural design of the second plate 3 more rational and efficient.

[0033] When this nut plate is applied to actual installation scenarios, corresponding insertion slots adapted to the insertion block 5 are made on the mounting components, forming a tight fit similar to a mortise and tenon joint. Taking the installation of equipment frames in mechanical manufacturing as an example, precise insertion slots are machined on the side plates of the frame, and the insertion block 5 of the nut plate is inserted into them. Because the insertion block 5 extends along its length, it can fit against the inner wall of the insertion slot over a large area. Compared to the traditional method of connecting solely with fixing holes, this greatly reduces the generation of gaps, effectively preventing the intrusion of dust, moisture, and other impurities, ensuring the sealing of the connection, and making the nut plate and the mounting components appear as a single, seamless unit. In some applications with high structural strength requirements, such as heavy machinery in industrial production lines and steel structure connectors in large buildings, a robust nut plate connection is crucial. This nut plate, through the cooperation of the insertion block 5 and the insertion slot, significantly enhances the overall structural strength. When subjected to external forces, such as mechanical vibration or heavy pulling, the plug block 5 can evenly distribute part of the external force along its own length to the entire plug slot area, avoiding stress concentration at individual fixed points. It is like putting a "protective armor" on the connection between the nut plate and the mounting component, which greatly enhances the ability to resist deformation and damage, and ensures the safe and stable operation of equipment or building structures under complex working conditions.

[0034] refer to Figure 3 As shown:

[0035] Implementation Structure 1: Plate 2 is hinged to both sides of Plate 2 3 in the width direction.

[0036] Implementation Structure Two: There are two plates 1 2, which are located on both sides of the width direction of plate 2 3 respectively. Plate 1 2 is perpendicular to plate 2 3 and fixedly connected.

[0037] When nut plates are used in applications requiring extremely high connection stability, such as critical connection parts in industrial machinery and load-bearing structural connections in large equipment, relying solely on fixing to one side often fails to meet the high-strength connection requirements. This invention uses two or even three plates to fix and connect to multiple sides of the mounting component, constructing a more robust connection system. Taking a three-plate structure as an example, assuming the three plates are tightly fixed to three adjacent sides of the mounting component, the connectors pass through the fixing holes 4 on each plate, applying constraint forces from three different directions. Compared to the traditional single-side fixing method, this effectively disperses the force, greatly enhancing the connection reliability between the nut plate and the mounting component, reducing the risk of equipment failure due to loose connections, and providing a solid guarantee for the safe and stable operation of the equipment.

[0038] The fixing holes 4 on plate 2 3 are misaligned with the plug-in block 5 to prevent the bolts connected in the fixing holes from being drilled into the plug-in grooves on the mounting components.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
