[0013] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0014] Please refer to Figures 1-4The utility model provides a technical scheme: A self-locking blind hole nut, including nut body 1, the bottom position of the center in nut body 1 is provided with pressure block 4, the bottom fixedly connected with first spring 5 of pressure block 4, the bottom position of both sides in nut body 1 is fixedly connected with second hinged frame 8, the opposite side of two second hinged frames 8 is all hinged with pry lever 6, the both sides of pressure block 4 bottom are all fixedly connected with first hinged frame 7, the opposite end of two pry levers 6 is all provided with locking block 9, the top side fixedly connected with sliding block 12 of locking block 9, the upper end of the inner wall of nut body 1 is all provided with slide groove 11 with two sliding blocks 12 respectively, the inner wall of slide groove 11 is fixedly connected with second spring 13 on one side.

[0015] The upper end of nut body 1 is fixedly connected with nut head 2, and the inner wall of nut body 1 is provided with screw groove 3, and the whole blind hole nut is formed.

[0016] The number of first spring 5 is four, and the bottom of four first springs 5 is fixedly connected with the inner bottom of nut body 1, provides upward elastic force, so that pressure block 4 can restore to the initial position when not being subjected to external force, provides power for the reset of pry lever 6 and locking block 9.

[0017] One end of two pry levers 6 is hinged with the opposite side of two first hinged frames 7 respectively, so that pressure block 4 can drive pry lever 6 to rotate when being pressed down, to move locking block 9.

[0018] Two locking blocks 9 are symmetrically arranged, and locking groove 10 is formed in the opposite side of two locking blocks 9, the thread of bolt is clamped through locking groove 10, and the automatic locking function of blind hole nut is realized.

[0019] The upper end of sliding block 12 extends to the inside of slide groove 11 and is slidably connected with the inner wall of slide groove 11, one end of second spring 13 is fixedly connected with one side of sliding block 12, and the action is to provide reset elastic force, so that locking block 9 can restore to the initial position when not being subjected to external force, the opening state of locking groove 10 is kept, and the rotation of bolt is facilitated.

[0020] Working principle: when the bolt is screwed into the screw groove 3 of the nut body 1, the bottom of the bolt first contacts the pressing block 4, and as the bolt continues to screw in, the pressing block 4 is subjected to downward pressure and compresses the four first springs 5 at the bottom of the pressing block 4. The elastic force of the four springs will make the pressing block 4 return to the initial position when it is not subjected to external force, but at this moment, they are compressed and store energy. The downward movement of the pressing block 4 simultaneously drives the first hinged frame 7 on both sides of its bottom. Since the first hinged frame 7 is hingedly connected to one end of the prying rod 6, the downward movement of the pressing block 4 will make the prying rod 6 rotate around the second hinged frame 8. This rotation in turn pushes the locking block 9 to move inward along the sliding groove 11. The movement of the locking block 9 is achieved by the sliding of the sliding block 12 in the sliding groove 11. One side of the sliding block 12 is fixedly connected with the second spring 13. When the locking block 9 is pushed by the prying rod 6, they will compress the second spring 13 and move inward until the locking slot 10 contacts and clamps the threads of the bolt. Once the locking slot 10 clamps the threads of the bolt, the locking block 9 will tightly clamp the bolt due to the restoring force of the second spring 13 and the elastic force of the first spring 5, realizing the automatic locking function of the blind hole nut. This design ensures that the nut can maintain stable connection with the bolt even in harsh environments such as vibration or impact.

[0021] In summary: the self-locking blind hole nut, through the design of the pressing block 4, the first spring 5, the prying rod 6, the first hinged frame 7, the second hinged frame 8, the locking block 9, the sliding groove 11, the sliding block 12 and the second spring 13, when the bolt is screwed into the nut body 1, the bottom of the bolt will press the pressing block 4 to move downward, which in turn triggers the pressing block 4 to press the two prying rods 6 to move relatively through the first hinged frame 7. The movement of the prying rod 6 further pushes the two locking blocks 9 to move relatively along the sliding groove 11, making the locking slots 10 on the two locking blocks 9 tightly clamp the threads on the bolt, not only realizing the automatic locking of the blind hole nut on the bolt, but also significantly improving the stability and safety of the connection. Even in harsh environments such as vibration or impact, the stability of the connection can be maintained.
