[0029] Example 1
[0030] As shown in the figure, a tightening device for the nut of a bridge erecting machine boom includes a nut retaining ring 1, a connecting rod 2, a tightening connecting ring 3, a connecting base 4, a first connecting plate 5, and a second connecting plate 6. The nut retaining ring 1 and the tightening connecting ring 3 are arranged parallel to each other, and the connecting rod 2 is positioned between the nut retaining ring 1 and the tightening connecting ring 3. The second connecting plate 6 is arranged on the outer ring of the nut retaining ring 1. The first connecting plate 5 is arranged on the outer ring of the tightening connecting ring 3. One end of the connecting rod 2 is connected to the first connecting plate 5, and the other end is connected to the second connecting plate 6. The connecting base 4 is installed in the middle of the inner ring of the tightening connecting ring 3.
[0031] Next, the working principle of this embodiment will be described in detail to enable those skilled in the art to better understand this utility model: In use, firstly, the nut retaining ring 1 is placed on the outside of the bridge erecting machine rod nut to fix the nut and prevent it from rotating or moving randomly during the tightening process. Next, the connecting base 4 is installed in the middle of the tightening connecting ring 3 for subsequent connection of the output end of the electric screwdriver. Then, the output end of the electric screwdriver is connected to the connecting base 4. After starting the electric screwdriver, the output end of the electric screwdriver rotates, and the generated power is transmitted to the tightening connecting ring through the connecting base 4. Since the connecting rod 2 is connected to the first connecting plate 5 on the tightening connecting ring 3 and the second connecting plate 6 on the nut retaining ring 1 respectively, when the tightening connecting ring 3 rotates, it will drive the nut retaining ring 1 to rotate together through the connecting rod 2, thereby causing the bridge erecting machine rod nut, which is fixed by the nut retaining ring 1, to rotate accordingly, thus achieving the purpose of tightening the bridge erecting machine rod nut.
[0032] Example 2
[0033] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the connecting base 4 includes a connecting groove 14, a fixing block 15, and a locking block 16; a base mounting plate 13 is installed in the middle of the inner ring of the screw-on connecting ring 3, and a connecting hole 8 is opened in the middle of the base mounting plate 13; a connecting groove is opened at one end of the fixing block 15, and a locking block 16 is provided at the other end; the fixing block 15 is located on the side away from the nut fixing ring 1, and the locking block 16 is locked in the connecting groove.
[0034] A base mounting plate 13 is installed in the center of the inner ring of the tightening connecting ring 3, with a connecting hole 8 for easy installation and fixation of the connecting base 4. One end of the fixing block 15 has a connecting groove, and the other end has a locking block 16 that can engage with the connecting hole 8, allowing the fixing block 15 to be installed on the side away from the nut fixing ring 1. The connecting groove 14 is used to connect with the output end of an electric screwdriver. The connecting groove 14 can be in the shape of a slotted thread or a hexagonal nut, matching the shape of the output end of the electric screwdriver. The output end of the electric screwdriver extends into the connecting groove 14, and starting the electric screwdriver will drive the fixing block 15 and the tightening connecting ring 3 to rotate. During use, when the electric screwdriver drives the tightening connecting ring 3 to rotate, the connecting base 4 transmits power to the nut fixing ring 1 and the bridge erecting machine rod nut, ensuring that the bridge erecting machine rod nut is tightened evenly and firmly. This effectively avoids problems such as insufficient tightening or loosening caused by the instability of the connecting base 4, improving the reliability and working efficiency of the tightening device.
[0035] Example 3
[0036] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 2 is that it also includes a threaded fixing hole 7 and a stud 17; the nut fixing ring 1 has a threaded fixing hole 7 on its ring body, and the stud 17 is connected to the threaded fixing hole 7.
[0037] The nut retaining ring 1 has a threaded fixing hole 7 on its ring body, to which the stud 17 is connected, which can further enhance the fixing effect between the nut retaining ring 1 and the nut of the bridge erecting machine boom. In actual operation, after the nut retaining ring 1 is fitted onto the outside of the nut of the bridge erecting machine boom, the stud 17 is screwed into the threaded fixing hole 7, so that the nut retaining ring 1 abuts against the outside of the nut of the bridge erecting machine, preventing relative slippage or displacement during tightening, allowing the nut retaining ring 1 to more firmly grip the nut, and in conjunction with the power transmission of the electric screwdriver, improving the stability and reliability of the entire tightening device.
[0038] Example 4
[0039] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 3 is that the connecting rod 2 includes a threaded connection hole 9, a first straight rod 10, an inclined rod 11, and a second straight rod 12; the first straight rod 10 and the second straight rod 12 are respectively arranged horizontally; one end of the first straight rod 10 is connected to one end of the inclined rod 11, and the other end is provided with a threaded connection hole 9 and connected to the first connecting plate 5; one end of the second straight rod 12 is connected to the other end of the inclined rod 11, and the other end is provided with a threaded connection hole 9 and connected to the second connecting plate 6.
[0040] The connecting rod 2 consists of a first straight rod 10, a diagonal rod 11, and a second straight rod 12. The first straight rod 10 and the second straight rod 12 are respectively set horizontally. One end of the first straight rod 10 is connected to one end of the diagonal rod 11, and the other end is provided with a threaded connection hole 9 and connected to the first connecting plate 5. One end of the second straight rod 12 is connected to the other end of the diagonal rod 11, and the other end is provided with a threaded connection hole 9 and connected to the second connecting plate 6. This makes the overall structure of the connecting rod 2 more stable. The two ends of the connecting rod 2 can be vertically connected to the nut fixing ring 1 and the tightening connecting ring 3 respectively, which can better withstand the various forces generated during the tightening process.
[0041] Example 5
[0042] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 4 is that the first connecting plate 5 and the second connecting plate 6 are arranged in pairs, and one end of the connecting rod 2 is placed between the two first connecting plates 5 or the second connecting plate 6.
[0043] This paired connection plate arrangement provides a more stable support and connection foundation for the connecting rod 2. During operation, the connecting rod 2 is placed between the two first connecting plates 5 or the second connecting plates 6, which effectively prevents the connecting rod 2 from shifting or shaking during the stress process, ensuring a more secure connection between the connecting rod 2 and the first connecting plate 5 or the second connecting plate 6, thereby guaranteeing the stability and accuracy of power transmission.
[0044] Example 6
[0045] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 5 is that the outer ring of the nut fixing ring 1 is evenly provided with 3 pairs of second connecting plates 6, and the outer ring of the screw-on connecting ring 3 is evenly provided with 3 pairs of first connecting plates 5.
[0046] By using multiple pairs of evenly distributed connecting plates, the force distribution of the entire tightening device is further optimized. During operation, multiple connection points can more evenly bear the power transmitted from the electric screwdriver, making the rotation of the nut retaining ring 1 and the tightening connecting ring 3 more stable.
[0047] Example 7
[0048] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 6 is that the diameter of the nut retaining ring 1 is larger than the diameter of the tightening connecting ring 3. This design allows the nut retaining ring 1 to provide a larger contact area and a more stable fixing effect when it fits onto the nut of the bridge erecting machine's boom. Simultaneously, the relatively smaller tightening connecting ring 3 can swing along with the output end of the electric screwdriver as it rotates, transmitting power more flexibly, reducing the likelihood of jamming, and driving the nut retaining ring 1 and the bridge erecting machine's nut to rotate.
[0049] Example 8
[0050] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 7 is that the connecting hole 8 is square. During operation, after the locking block 16 is inserted into the square connecting hole 8, it will not slip when transmitting torque and the force will be more even, reducing the possibility of the locking block 16 slipping or loosening in the connecting hole 8.
[0051] Example 9
[0052] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 8 is that the stud 17 is a single-ended hexagonal stud. The single-ended hexagonal stud is easy to tighten and provides good fastening performance when connected to the threaded fixing hole 7.
[0053] The working principle of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 1.
[0054] In summary, this utility model, by incorporating a nut-fixing ring and a tightening connecting ring, utilizes an electric screwdriver to provide power, thus overcoming the inefficient method of manually tightening nuts. This significantly improves tightening efficiency, reduces the labor intensity of construction workers, and helps accelerate bridge construction progress. The nut-fixing ring stably secures the nut on the bridge erecting machine's boom, and, in conjunction with the tightening connecting ring and connecting rod, ensures uniform force distribution and rotation of the nut. This guarantees consistent and reliable tightening, effectively preventing loose nut connections caused by uneven manual tightening torque, and ensuring the safety and stability of bridge erection.
