[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0020] Reference Figure 1-4 A U-shaped anti-loosening bolt for connecting a vehicle axle includes a U-shaped screw 1 and a vehicle axle pressure plate 2. Both ends of the U-shaped screw 1 slide through the vehicle axle pressure plate 2 and are threadedly connected to a first nut 3. A second nut 4 is provided below each of the two first nuts 3 and is threadedly connected to the U-shaped screw 1. A clamping block 5 is provided on the upper surface of each of the two first nuts 3. A first anti-rotation device is provided between each of the two clamping blocks 5 and the vehicle axle pressure plate 2. A second anti-rotation device is provided at the lower end of each of the two U-shaped screws 1.
[0021] The first anti-rotation device includes a mounting block 6, with a first slide rod 7 slidably connected inside the mounting block 6. A base 8 is provided at one end of the first slide rod 7 near the abutment block 5. A snap-fit block 9 is provided on the side surface of the base 8 near the abutment block 5. A second slide rod 10 is provided on the side surface of the snap-fit block 9 near the mounting block 6 and slidably connected to the mounting block 6. A first mounting cap 11 is provided at one end of the first slide rod 7 away from the abutment block 5. A spring 12 is provided between the mounting block 6 and the first mounting cap 11. The spring 12 is sleeved on the first slide rod 7. A second mounting cap 13 is provided at one end of the second slide rod 10 away from the abutment block 5. A locking nut 14 is threadedly connected to the surface of the second slide rod 10. The locking nut 14 is located between the mounting block 6 and the base 8. A plurality of snap-fit grooves 15 are evenly provided in a ring on the surface of the abutment block 5. One end of the snap-fit block 9 extends into the snap-fit groove 15.
[0022] The second anti-rotation device includes a first mounting through hole 16, which is opened on the lower surface of the U-shaped screw 1. A third slide rod 17 is slidably connected inside the first mounting through hole 16. A limit block 18 is provided at one end of the third slide rod 17, and a second mounting through hole 19 is opened at the other end of the third slide rod 17. An elastic snap-fit component 20 is snapped inside the second mounting through hole 19.
[0023] The upper surface of the axle pressure plate 2 is provided with multiple anti-slip grooves 21. The multiple anti-slip grooves 21 make it less likely for the axle pressure plate 2 to slip with the axle.
[0024] An elastic washer 22 is provided between the first nut 3 and the second nut 4, and the elastic washer 22 is sleeved on the U-shaped screw 1. Through the elastic action of the elastic washer 22, the first nut 3 and the second nut 4 are pressed together to prevent the first nut 3 and the second nut 4 from becoming loose.
[0025] The axle pressure plate 2 and the mounting block 6 are provided with connecting blocks 23 on their side surfaces, and protective covers 24 are threaded onto the surface of the connecting blocks 23. The protective covers 24 serve to block dust and water, extending the service life of the first anti-rotation device.
[0026] Working principle: During installation, after tightening the first nut 3 and the second nut 4, the first anti-rotation device, by tightening the locking nut 14, moves the base 8 and the locking block 9 towards the locking groove 15. The locking block 9 extends into the locking groove 15 to lock the abutment block 5, preventing the abutment block 5 from loosening due to vibration. The second anti-rotation device, by passing the third slide rod 17 through the first mounting through hole 16 and then the elastic locking member 20 through the second mounting through hole 19, prevents the second nut 4 from slipping out of the U-shaped screw 1 even if it becomes loose due to vibration. The end center of the U-shaped screw 1 of this anti-loosening bolt does not have an inner mounting hole, thus avoiding a reduction in the strength of the U-shaped screw 1 and preventing the risk of breakage.
[0027] When it is necessary for the locking block 9 to disengage from the locking groove 15, the locking nut 14 is turned in the opposite direction. Under the compression force of the spring 12, the locking block 9 is moved away from the locking groove 15, thus disengaging the locking block 9 from the locking groove 15. When it is necessary to remove the third slide rod 17, the elastic locking member 20 is pried open and removed from the second mounting through hole 19. Then the third slide rod 17 can be removed from the first mounting through hole 16.
[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
