Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of fastener technology, and more specifically to an anti-loosening bolt for power fittings. Background Technology

[0002] In power systems, power fittings are crucial components for connecting and securing various electrical equipment, and their reliability directly impacts the safe and stable operation of the power system. Bolts, commonly used fasteners in power fittings, are prone to loosening during long-term operation due to external forces such as vibration and impact, leading to connection failures and potential safety accidents.

[0003] Currently, some common anti-loosening bolts on the market have poor anti-loosening effects and cannot meet the requirements of long-term stable operation of power systems; others have complex structures, high manufacturing costs, and are inconvenient to install and maintain. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an anti-loosening bolt for power fittings that has a simple structure, good anti-loosening effect, and low cost. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, this application provides an anti-loosening bolt for power fittings. Through a unique structural design, it effectively improves the anti-loosening performance of the bolt, ensures the reliability of power fitting connections, and at the same time reduces manufacturing costs and facilitates installation and maintenance.

[0005] According to one aspect of this application, one embodiment provides an anti-loosening bolt for power fittings, comprising a bolt, a positive thread nut, and a negative thread nut. The bolt is a single unit, and from the large end to the screw end, it consists of a bolt head, a screw rod, a positive thread rod, and a negative thread rod. The diameter of the negative thread rod is smaller than that of the positive thread rod. The negative thread rod is eccentrically disposed from the positive thread rod. The positive thread nut has a conical boss, and the negative thread nut has a conical groove. The positive thread nut engages with the positive thread rod, and the negative thread nut engages with the negative thread rod. The conical boss of the positive thread nut can be inserted into the conical groove of the negative thread nut.

[0006] In some embodiments, the length of the positive thread rod is 0.8-1.2 times the thickness of the positive thread nut with the wedge-shaped boss.

[0007] In some embodiments, the eccentricity between the reverse threaded rod and the forward threaded rod is 0.3-2.0 mm.

[0008] In some embodiments, the bolts, positive thread nuts, and negative thread nuts are made of carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, titanium, or titanium alloy.

[0009] In some embodiments, the bolts, positive thread nuts, and negative thread nuts, after being made of carbon steel or alloy steel, require galvanizing or zinc-diffusion anti-corrosion treatment.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] 1. The anti-loosening bolt for power fittings of this utility model, through the mutual cooperation of the conical boss of the positive thread nut and the conical groove of the negative thread nut, and the eccentric setting of the positive thread rod and the negative thread rod, so that when subjected to external force, the positive thread nut and the negative thread nut will generate mutually restraining torque, effectively preventing the nut from loosening and greatly improving the anti-loosening performance.

[0012] 2. The anti-loosening bolt for power fittings of this utility model has a clever and simple structure design compared to some complex anti-loosening structures. It is easy to manufacture and process, thus reducing production costs.

[0013] 3. The present invention relates to an anti-loosening bolt for power fittings.

The distance between the axis LC1 of the normal thread rod and the axis CL2 of the reverse thread rod is 2.0 mm. The length of the normal thread rod is 1.2 times the thickness of the wedge-shaped boss inside the normal thread nut.

[0038] Since stainless steel itself has good corrosion resistance, no additional anti-corrosion treatment is required.
