Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to hexagonal flange nut technical field, concretely is a hexagonal flange nut with locking structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of mechanical connection, the reliability and stability of the hexagonal flange nut, which is widely used as a standard part, directly affect the safety of equipment operation. The traditional hexagonal flange nut relies on the friction between the thread pair to achieve fastening. Under complex working conditions such as vibration and impact, the nut is prone to loosening, leading to connection failure, and in severe cases, even causing equipment failure or safety accidents. In scenarios such as automobile engine component connection and engineering machinery structure assembly, nut loosening problems are common.

[0003] After searching, patent publication No. CN221195692U discloses a locking nut with limiting structure, comprising a mounting shaft body, a locking nut body is threadedly connected at a predetermined position of the mounting shaft body, a reinforcing ring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the locking nut body, an installation groove is formed in the inner surface of the reinforcing ring, a power assembly is jointly installed between the installation groove and the reinforcing ring, an arc-shaped clamping plate is installed on one side of the power assembly, a wear-resistant layer is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the arc-shaped clamping plate away from the limiting plate, and an arc-shaped groove matching the arc-shaped clamping plate is formed on one side of the outer surface of the mounting shaft body. In the utility model, the arc-shaped groove, arc-shaped clamping plate, power assembly and reinforcing ring can reduce the impact of angle difference on the installation of the locking nut, ensure the positioning and locking performance of the locking nut, and the thicker arc-shaped clamping plate can avoid breaking, increasing the safety of the locking nut.

[0004] To solve the problem of nut loosening, the existing technology often uses nylon or other elastic materials embedded in the nut to increase the friction force. However, simply setting nylon inserts on the inner wall of the nut has limited anti-loosening effect and cannot meet the fastening needs under different working conditions. At the same time, some nuts use gaskets to achieve auxiliary anti-loosening, but traditional gaskets are relatively independent of the nut and cannot effectively cooperate with the nut to limit the axial loosening of the nut. Therefore, a hexagonal flange nut with locking structure is designed. Utility model content

[0005] In view of the defects or deficiencies of the hexagonal flange nut, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a hexagonal flange nut with locking structure. Through the synergistic effect of the double locking structure, the locking performance of the hexagonal nut body under complex working conditions such as vibration and impact is significantly improved.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned utility model purposes, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] The utility model provides a hexagonal flange nut with locking structure, including hexagonal nut main part, the outer wall below of hexagonal nut main part is provided with annular lug, the bottom of annular lug is provided with annular recess, the below of annular lug is provided with annular gasket, be provided with rectangular spring between annular gasket and annular lug, the top of annular gasket is provided with first annular protrusion and second annular protrusion, and second annular protrusion is located in the inside of first annular protrusion,

[0008] The circumferential inner wall of the hexagonal nut main body is provided with a threaded groove, and the threaded groove is located between the two annular mounting grooves.

[0009] As preferred, one end of the rectangular spring is located between the circumferential inner wall of the first annular protrusion and the circumferential outer wall of the second annular protrusion, and the other end of the rectangular spring is located in the annular recess.

[0010] As preferred, the circumferential inner wall of the hexagonal nut main body is provided with a threaded groove, and the threaded groove is located between the two annular mounting grooves.

[0011] As preferred, the inner ring part of the annular elastic nylon insert extends to the inside area of the hexagonal nut main body, forming the inner ring of the annular elastic nylon insert partially overlapping with the inside space of the hexagonal nut main body.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the above one or more technical solutions have the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. In the utility model, through the cooperation of a series of structures, the annular elastic nylon insert is arranged on both sides of the circumferential inner wall of the hexagonal nut main body. When the hexagonal nut main body is installed on the screw rod, the annular elastic nylon insert will be in close contact with the surface of the screw rod, not only generating a large friction force, but also being able to fill the small gap between the nut and the bolt due to the elasticity and plasticity of the annular elastic nylon insert, so that the connection between the hexagonal nut main body and the screw rod is more tight, reducing the loosening of the hexagonal nut main body on the screw rod caused by the gap, and also sealing the threaded connection between the hexagonal nut main body and the screw rod, avoiding rust and corrosion of the threaded connection between the hexagonal nut main body and the screw rod.

[0014] 2. In the utility model, through the cooperation of a series of structures, the annular gasket in the separated state at one end of the hexagonal nut main body cooperates with the rectangular spring. When the hexagonal nut main body is tightened, the rectangular spring will be compressed after the hexagonal nut main body is tightened, generating elastic deformation, so that a continuous axial force can be applied between the hexagonal nut main body and the connected part. This force makes the friction force between the hexagonal nut main body and the screw rod larger, so that the hexagonal nut main body can be prevented from loosening due to vibration, impact and other external forces.

[0015] Therefore, from the above, the utility model discloses a synergistic effect of double locking structure, significantly improve the locking performance of hexagon nut main body under the complex working conditions such as vibration, impact, and double locking structure significantly reduces the equipment maintenance, repair cost and potential production accident loss caused by hexagon nut loosening, has good economic benefit and market promotion value.

[0031] The hexagonal nut body 100 has annular mounting grooves 130 on both the upper and lower sides of its circumferential inner wall. Annular elastic nylon inserts 200 are installed in the annular mounting grooves 130. The elastic deformation of the annular elastic nylon inserts 200 generates additional friction, which effectively prevents the hexagonal nut body 100 from rotating circumferentially.
