Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fasteners, and more specifically, it relates to a novel non-detachable screw structure. Background Technology

[0002] Lockout screws are a common type of fastener used in assembly work. Common lockout screws often employ wedge-shaped locking washers, placed between the bolt head and the workpiece. The washer's engagement angle is greater than the screw's thread helix angle. When the workpiece vibrates and the bolt tends to rotate out of the threaded hole, the washer's lift is greater than the bolt's lift, causing the bolt to tend to tighten back into the threaded hole. However, this method is only suitable for connecting thin plates to thick workpieces, and not for connecting two thin plates using a bolt and nut. Alternatively, a spring structure can be used to supplement the normal pressure on the nut, providing greater friction between the nut and the workpiece, thus preventing relative rotation of the nut relative to the bolt. However, if the workpiece vibrates severely, the normal pressure provided by the spring will be significantly reduced, and the nut may still tend to loosen from the bolt after prolonged use. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a novel non-detachable screw structure to address the issue that the positive pressure provided by the nut to the non-detachable screw when connecting two thin plates gradually decreases with workpiece vibration, and the screw still tends to loosen after long-term service.

[0004] This utility model is based on a pressure ulcer prevention and assistive turning device for bedridden patients, and is achieved through the following specific technical means:

[0005] A novel non-detachable screw structure includes a bolt; the bolt includes a head and a shank, wherein the head is cylindrical and the shank has a fully threaded cylindrical surface; a nut is screwed onto the shank of the bolt and mates therewith; a sliding support hole is axially formed inside the shank of the bolt, and a rotating support hole is formed at the upper and lower ends of the sliding support hole inside the shank; a tightening member is slidably connected to the sliding support hole, the tightening member includes a movable sleeve and tightening protrusions fixedly connected to both sides of the movable sleeve, wherein the tightening protrusions extend outside the sides of the sliding support hole, and a threaded hole is formed inside the movable sleeve, in which a lead screw is inserted; the lead screw is along the bolt axis and includes a threaded rod, the cylindrical surface of which is threaded in the sliding support hole, a limiting protrusion is provided at the upper end of the threaded rod and rotatably connected in the upper rotating support hole, and a nut is provided at the lower end and rotatably connected in the lower rotating support hole.

[0006] Furthermore, the top surface of the bolt head is provided with an internal hexagonal hole, and the cylindrical surface is engraved with anti-slip texture.

[0007] Furthermore, during installation, the clamping protrusion of the clamping member abuts against the nut on the side away from the two connected workpieces.

[0008] Furthermore, a slot with a straight line is provided at the bottom of the screw cap. A limiting component is inserted into the limiting slot. The limiting component is planar and includes a limiting plate and a support plate. The limiting plate is inserted into the limiting slot of the screw, and the support plate has locking teeth on both sides.

[0009] Furthermore, the bolt has an internal toothed ring hole at the bottom along the axial direction, and the retaining teeth on both sides of the limiting member support plate engage with the inner wall of the internal toothed ring hole.

[0010] Furthermore, four insertion holes are provided on the shank of the bolt at the location where the internal toothed ring hole is opened, perpendicularly intersecting each other in the radial direction. Iron wires are inserted into two sets of opposite insertion holes, with the iron wires abutting against the bottom of the limiting member and both ends of the iron wires being bent.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. This utility model, by setting a clamping component and a lead screw, allows the screw to be turned with a flathead screwdriver during installation, so that the clamping component holds the nut in place. This prevents the nut from rotating relative to the bolt and falling off due to vibrations generated during the connection of the workpiece during service, thus playing a role in preventing loosening. Moreover, the clamping force of the clamping component on the nut is fixed and does not change with the thickness of the workpiece, resulting in a good anti-loosening effect.

[0013] 2. This utility model, by setting a limiting component and an iron wire, inserts the limiting plate of the limiting component into the limiting slot of the lead screw. The teeth on both sides of the limiting component support plate are engaged with the inner wall of the inner tooth ring hole of the bolt body, and the iron wire is inserted to hold the limiting component in place. This can prevent the lead screw from rotating relative to the bolt if the connected workpiece vibrates violently during service after installation, and the tightening component cannot hold the nut and loosens. This is the second layer of protection against loosening. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0031] Example:

[0032] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown:

[0033] This utility model provides a novel non-detachable screw structure, including a bolt 1; the bolt 1 includes a head 101 and a shank 102, wherein the head 101 is cylindrical, and the cylindrical surface of the shank 102 is tapped with a full thread; a nut 2 that mates with the shank 1 is screwed onto the shank 102; a sliding support hole 1021 is axially formed inside the shank 102, and a rotating support hole 1022 is formed at the upper and lower ends of the sliding support hole 1021; a tightening member 3 is slidably connected to the sliding support hole 1021, the tightening member 3 including a movable sleeve 301 and a movable sleeve 30 1. A top-tightening protrusion 302 is fixedly connected on both sides, wherein the top-tightening protrusion 302 extends out of the outside of both sides of the sliding support hole 1021. A threaded hole is opened inside the movable sleeve 301, and a lead screw 4 is inserted into the threaded hole. The lead screw 4 is along the axis of the bolt 1. The lead screw 4 includes a screw 401. The cylindrical surface of the screw 401 is threaded in the sliding support hole 1021. A limiting protrusion 402 is provided at the upper end of the screw 401. The limiting protrusion 402 is rotatably connected in the upper rotating support hole 1022. A nut 403 is provided at the lower end. The nut 403 is rotatably connected in the lower rotating support hole 1022.

[0034] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the top surface of the bolt head 101 is provided with an internal hexagonal hole 1011, and the cylindrical surface is engraved with anti-slip texture 1012. During installation, if the through holes of the two connected workpieces are threaded holes, after aligning the threaded holes of the two workpieces, the cylindrical surface of the bolt head 101 can be held and rotated first to pre-tighten the bolt 1 in the threaded hole of the workpiece, and then the bolt 1 can be completely tightened in the threaded hole of the workpiece by inserting the internal hexagonal hole 1011 through the internal hexagonal hole.

[0035] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, during installation, the tightening protrusion 302 of the tightening member 3 abuts against the nut 2 on the side away from the two connected workpieces; during installation, by rotating the lead screw 4, the tightening member 3 presses against the nut 2, preventing the nut 2 from rotating relative to the bolt 1 and falling off due to vibration generated by the connected workpieces during service, thereby playing the role of preventing loosening.

[0036] Among them, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the bottom of the screw nut 403 of the lead screw 4 has a slot 4031 with a flat surface. A limiting member 5 is inserted into the slot 4031. The limiting member 5 is planar and includes a limiting plate 501 and a support plate 502. The limiting plate 501 is inserted into the limiting slot 4031 of the lead screw 4, and the support plate 502 has retaining teeth 5021 on both sides. The shaft 102 of the bolt 1 has an internal toothed ring hole 1023 axially formed at its bottom. The retaining teeth 5021 on both sides of the support plate 502 of the limiting member 5 engage with the inner wall of the internal toothed ring hole 1023. The flathead screw... Insert the screwdriver into the limiting slot 4031 of the screw nut 403 and rotate it. Adjust the position of the clamping member 3 on the screw 4 so that it holds the nut 2. Then pull out the screwdriver and insert the limiting plate 501 of the limiting member 5 into the limiting slot 4031 of the screw 4. Make the teeth 5021 on both sides of the limiting member 5 support plate 502 engage with the inner wall of the inner tooth ring hole 1023 of the bolt 1 rod body 102. This can prevent the screw 4 from rotating relative to the bolt 1 due to severe vibration of the connected workpiece during service after installation, and prevent the clamping member 3 from being unable to hold the nut 2 and becoming loose.

[0037] Among them, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, four insertion holes 1024 are perpendicularly intersecting each other in the radial direction at the location where the internal toothed ring hole 1023 is opened on the shank 102 of the bolt 1. Among them, iron wire 6 is inserted into the two sets of opposite insertion holes 1024. The iron wire 6 abuts against the bottom of the limiting member 5, and both ends of the iron wire 6 are bent. The iron wire 6 abuts against the limiting member 5 and makes a large intersection angle between the two, which can prevent the limiting plate 501 of the limiting member 5 from coming out of the limiting slot 4031 of the lead screw 4 during service. The limiting member 5 maintains the angular limitation of the lead screw 4 relative to the shank 102 of the bolt 1. The limiting member 5 always presses against the nut 2 to prevent it from loosening.

[0038] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0039] In this utility model, firstly, the two workpieces are pressed tightly together and the connecting holes are aligned; a bolt 1 is inserted into the connecting hole, and the head 101 of the bolt 1 is pressed against one side of the workpiece; a nut 2 is tightened on the shank 102 of the bolt 1, and the nut 2 is pressed against the other side of the workpiece; a flathead screwdriver is inserted into the limiting slot 4031 of the screw 4's screw cap 403 and rotated; the position of the clamping member 3 on the screw 4 is adjusted so that it presses against the nut 2; then the screwdriver is pulled out, and the limiting plate 501 of the limiting member 5 is inserted into the limiting slot 4031 of the screw 4, and the teeth 5021 on both sides of the limiting member 5's support plate 502 are engaged in the inner wall of the inner toothed ring hole 1023 of the bolt 1's shank 102. This can prevent the screw 4 from rotating relative to the bolt 1 due to severe vibration of the connected workpieces during service after installation, and prevent the clamping member 3 from being unable to hold the nut 2 and becoming loose.

[0040] Any aspects of this utility model not described in detail are well-known technologies to those skilled in the art.
