Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nut technology, specifically an integrated self-locking nut. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of mechanical connections, nuts are widely used as important connecting parts. Traditional nuts are prone to loosening under conditions of high vibration or long-term stress, which affects the stability and reliability of the connection. To solve this problem, various self-locking nuts have emerged. However, existing self-locking nuts have some shortcomings in structural design and performance. The self-locking structure of some self-locking nuts is too complex, the manufacturing cost is high, and the anti-theft performance of self-locking nuts is poor. They are easy to disassemble and are easily damaged when subjected to large loads. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated self-locking nut, which has the advantages of high self-locking strength and anti-theft function.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an integrated self-locking nut, including a nut, a screw rod installed at the lower end of the nut, a nut sleeved on the surface of the screw rod, a fixing plate installed on the inner ring of the top of the nut, an elastic flap fixedly installed at the inner end of the fixing plate, the elastic flap being arranged in two symmetrical arc shapes, a locking thread installed on the outer side of the elastic flap, the locking thread engaging with the thread on the inner wall of the nut, an installation groove being provided in the inner cavity of the top of the nut, a locking block being installed inside the installation groove via a threaded line, and a cross groove being provided on the top of the locking block.
[0005] As a preferred embodiment, the screw has a vertically oriented receiving groove inside, and a reinforcing rod is threaded inside the receiving groove. The upper end of the reinforcing rod is connected to the bottom of the locking block.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment, the surface of the screw is provided with a through groove, and the surface of the reinforcing rod is provided with annularly distributed protrusions, the outer ends of which extend to the outside of the through groove and are staggered with the thread lines on the outside of the screw.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment, an anti-theft cover is installed above the nut, and the diameter of the anti-theft cover is the same as that of the mounting groove.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment, a washer is installed on the surface of the screw and above the nut, and a rubber pad is provided on the top of the washer.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the inner wall of the elastic flap is further provided with a number of protrusions, and the protrusions are arranged along the axial direction of the elastic flap.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0011] 1. This utility model, by setting an elastic flap and locking threads, allows the elastic flap to deform elastically when the nut is tightened onto the screw. The locking threads tightly engage with the inner thread of the nut, increasing the friction between the nut and the screw, thus achieving a self-locking function and preventing the nut from loosening. The reinforcing rod inside the screw is connected to the locking block, which not only enhances the strength of the screw but also prevents the nut from rotating to a certain extent, further improving the stability of the connection. The anti-theft cover on top of the nut prevents others from arbitrarily disassembling the locking block through the cross groove, thereby protecting the connection of the nut and improving the anti-theft performance.
[0012] 2. This utility model increases the friction between the nut and the connected parts by the presence of the gasket and rubber pad. The rubber pad has good elasticity and friction, and can effectively prevent the nut from rotating when subjected to external forces such as vibration and impact, prevent the nut from loosening, and ensure the stability of the connection. Even after long-term use or in harsh working environments, it can maintain a good tightness. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0020] Example 1:
[0021] Please see Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides an integrated self-locking nut, including a nut 1, a screw 2 installed at the lower end of the nut 1, a nut 3 sleeved on the surface of the screw 2, a fixing plate 4 installed on the inner ring of the top of the nut 3, an elastic flap 5 fixedly installed at the inner end of the fixing plate 4, the elastic flap 5 is arranged in two symmetrical arc shapes, a locking thread 6 is installed on the outside of the elastic flap 5, the locking thread 6 is engaged with the thread on the inner wall of the nut 3, an installation groove 9 is opened in the inner cavity of the top of the nut 1, a locking block 10 is installed in the inside of the installation groove 9 through the thread, and a cross groove 11 is opened on the top of the locking block 10.
[0022] This technical solution, by setting up an elastic flap 5 and a locking thread 6, allows the elastic flap 5 to elastically deform when the nut 3 is tightened onto the screw 2. The locking thread 6 tightly engages with the thread on the inner wall of the nut 3, increasing the friction between the nut 3 and the screw 2, thereby achieving a self-locking function and preventing the nut 3 from loosening. The reinforcing rod 7 inside the screw 2 is connected to the locking block 10, which not only enhances the strength of the screw 2 but also prevents the nut 3 from rotating to a certain extent, further improving the stability of the connection. The anti-theft cover 12 above the nut 1 can prevent others from arbitrarily disassembling the locking block 10 through the cross groove 11, thereby protecting the connection of the nut 3 and improving the anti-theft performance.
[0023] Example 2:
[0024] Based on Embodiment 1, this utility model is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the screw 2 has a vertically arranged receiving groove inside, and a reinforcing rod 7 is threaded inside the receiving groove. The upper end of the reinforcing rod 7 is connected to the bottom of the locking block 10.
[0025] Adopting such Figure 1 The technical solution shown has a reinforcing rod 7 installed in the receiving groove of the screw 2, which is equivalent to providing an additional support structure for the screw 2. When the nut 3 is subjected to external force, especially large tension or pressure, the reinforcing rod 7 can share the load borne by the screw 2, thereby effectively enhancing the overall strength and rigidity of the screw 2, reducing the possibility of the screw 2 deforming or breaking due to force, improving the reliability and safety of the nut 3 during use, and extending its service life.
[0026] Secondly, in the technical solution, a through groove is opened on the surface of the screw 2, and a ring-shaped protrusion 8 is installed on the surface of the reinforcing rod 7. The outer end of the protrusion 8 extends to the outside of the through groove and is staggered with the thread line on the outside of the screw 2. An anti-theft cover 12 is installed above the nut 1. The diameter of the anti-theft cover 12 is the same as that of the mounting groove 9.
[0027] Its adoption is as follows Figure 1 The technical solution shown indicates that when the nut 3 is screwed onto the screw 2, the protrusion 8 will interfere with the inner surface of the nut 3 connected to the other lower end. This interference can effectively prevent the nut 3 from rotating freely on the screw 2, further enhancing the self-locking performance of the nut 3 and preventing the nut 3 from loosening under conditions such as vibration and impact, thus ensuring the stability of the connection structure. This structure makes the connection between the reinforcing rod 7 and the screw 2 no longer just a threaded connection. The cooperation between the protrusion 8 and the through groove increases the mechanical connection strength between the two, making the reinforcing rod 7 and the screw 2 form a tighter whole, improving the load-bearing capacity and reliability of the entire nut 3 structure.
[0028] Example 3:
[0029] This utility model is as follows Figures 1-4 As shown, a washer 13 is installed on the surface of the screw 2 above the nut 3, and a rubber pad 14 is provided on the top of the washer 13; a number of protrusions are also provided on the inner wall of the elastic petal 5, and the protrusions are arranged along the axial direction of the elastic petal 5.
[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, the presence of gasket 13 and rubber pad 14 increases the friction between nut 3 and the connected parts. Rubber pad 14 has good elasticity and friction. When subjected to external forces such as vibration and impact, it can effectively prevent nut 3 from rotating, prevent nut 3 from loosening, and ensure the stability of the connection. Even after long-term use or in harsh working environments, it can maintain a good tightness.
[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: By setting the elastic flap 5 and the locking thread 6, when the nut 3 is tightened on the screw 2, the elastic flap 5 undergoes elastic deformation, and the locking thread 6 is tightly engaged with the thread on the inner wall of the nut 3, increasing the friction between the nut 3 and the screw 2, thereby achieving a self-locking function and preventing the nut 3 from loosening. The reinforcing rod 7 inside the screw 2 is connected to the locking block 10, which not only enhances the strength of the screw 2, but also prevents the rotation of the nut 3 to a certain extent, further improving the stability of the connection. The anti-theft cover 12 above the nut 1 can prevent others from arbitrarily disassembling the locking block 10 through the cross groove 11, thereby protecting the connection of the nut 3 and improving the anti-theft performance.
