AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, the color of the anti-loosening line is easily affected by fog and temperature, making the identification of loose bolts unreliable, especially in the installation of wind turbine units where it is difficult to accurately determine whether the bolts are loose.
Design an anti-loosening identification device that uses an annular sleeve and a semi-elliptical protrusion structure to determine whether the bolt is loose by using the tangent point of each pair of mutually referenced bolts. The annular sleeve is fitted around the outer circumference of the nut, and the annular tooth groove engages with the nut to ensure that the bolt forms a tangent point after tightening. The loosening is determined by observing the positional change of the protruding structure.
It enables rapid and reliable identification of loose bolts, reduces the probability of loose bolts, and improves the stability and maintenance efficiency of wind turbine units.

The anti-loose identification of the prior art is performed by setting an anti-loose line such as Figure 1 Once the position of the anti-loose line on the same vertical plane of the bolt, nut and flange surface changes, only the loosening of the bolt can be determined. However, in actual use, due to differences in geographical conditions, the anti-loose line will be affected by factors such as fog and temperature, and the color of the anti-loose line will gradually fade, and sometimes the anti-loose line cannot be seen.
