[0032] 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.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides an embodiment of a waterproof screw with a sealing ring, including a nut 1, a screw rod 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of the nut 1, and the screw is fixed in the desired thread groove by rotating the nut 1 to drive the screw rod 4 to rotate. A sealing ring body 11 is provided on the outside of the screw rod 4 to improve the waterproofness of the screw. A reinforcing component is provided on the inside of the sealing ring body 11 to make the sealing performance of the sealing ring body 11 even better. A quick-release component is installed on the top of the nut 1 to improve the applicability of the screw. The quick-release component includes a cap 2, which is installed on the top of the nut 1 to protect the nut 1. A locking block 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cap 2. A locking groove 6 is opened on the top of the nut 1. The locking block 8 and the locking groove 6 are engaged with each other. The locking block 8 is engaged in the locking groove 6 to enhance the sealing performance.
[0034] Reference Figures 3-5The reinforcing components include a fixing layer 13, which is made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and is disposed inside the sealing ring body 11. PTFE ensures that the sealing ring will not fall off during long-term use, and its smooth surface reduces the adhesion of impurities. Its self-lubricating properties reduce wear between the sealing ring and the mating surface, especially under dry friction or insufficient lubrication conditions. The reinforcing components also include a transition layer 14, which is made of nitrile rubber and is disposed inside the fixing layer 13. Nitrile rubber has a moderate elastic modulus, effectively absorbing pressure fluctuations and preventing the sealing ring from tearing due to excessive external pressure. Its elastic buffering properties reduce stress concentration between the sealing ring and the mating surface. Finally, the reinforcing components include a compression layer 15, which is made of silicone rubber and is disposed inside the transition layer 14. Silicone rubber has a wide temperature range, making it suitable for long-term sealing in high-temperature environments and preventing seal failure due to thermal expansion and contraction. The sealing ring body 11 consists of a fixing layer 13, a transition layer 14, and a compression layer 15. The fixing layer 13 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), the transition layer 14 is made of nitrile rubber (NBR), and the compression layer 15 is made of silicone rubber. The fixing layer 13 is located inside the sealing ring body 11, the transition layer 14 is located inside the fixing layer 13, and the compression layer 15 is located inside the transition layer 14. A rod 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the sealing ring body 11. A hole 9 is provided at the bottom of the nut 1. The rod 12 is engaged with the hole 9. By inserting the rod 12 into the hole 9, the sealing ring body 11 can be more stably fixed in the groove 10. A groove 10 is provided at the bottom of the nut 1, and the sealing ring body 11 is located inside the groove 10. A pull rod 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the cap 2. The pull rod 3 makes it easier to remove the cap 2. A cross groove 7 is provided on the top of the nut 1. The cross groove 7 makes it easy to tighten the screw with other tools. A drainage groove 5 is provided on the outside of the screw rod 4. The drainage groove 5 can prevent liquid residue from remaining on the screw, which could cause the screw to rust and corrode.
[0035] Working principle: First, when the waterproof screw is needed, it can be tightened with a socket wrench. The drainage groove 5 on the outside of the screw 4 can drain the water away, preventing water from remaining inside the screw 4 and causing corrosion. At the same time, when a socket wrench is not available, the cap 2 can be pulled out by pulling the lever 3. The nut 1 has a cross groove 7 in the middle, which can be tightened with a screwdriver, thus improving the applicability of the waterproof screw.
[0036] Secondly, the sealing ring body 11 of this waterproof screw uses a three-layer composite material, which enhances the screw's waterproof performance. The side of the sealing ring body 11 closest to the nut 1 is a fixing layer 13, made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). PTFE has an extremely low coefficient of friction, reducing friction between the sealing ring and the mating surface, lowering energy consumption, and extending service life. The transition layer 14 is made of nitrile rubber, which has a moderate elastic modulus, effectively absorbing pressure fluctuations and preventing the sealing ring from tearing due to excessive external pressure. Its elastic buffering properties reduce stress concentration between the sealing ring and the mating surface. The compression layer 15 is made of silicone rubber, which has excellent elasticity and can fill tiny gaps in the mating surface through compression deformation, forming a preliminary seal.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
