Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lock nut technology, specifically to a detachable split lock nut. Background Technology

[0002] In the early stages of LCD glass production, the No. 1 roller was primarily used to clamp the substrate glass during abnormal production, ensuring the motherboard could be smoothly pulled down by the No. 1 roller. During normal production, the No. 1 roller idled without contacting the glass substrate. Under normal conditions, the No. 1 roller's lifespan ranged from over 100 to over 500 days. Because the No. 1 roller was located inside the furnace, where the temperature reached 850℃ and the temperature outside was also over 100℃, the locking nut for securing the No. 1 roller, after long-term use, became difficult to disassemble when replacing the No. 1 roller. Due to the high temperature environment, limited working space, and the proximity of the working area to the furnace, operators were prone to burns from contact with hot components. It was necessary to use an angle grinder to cut the locking nut of the No. 1 roller bearing, which was difficult to operate. Due to space constraints, operators were prone to cutting the No. 1 roller drive shaft during the cutting process, causing damage to the roller core and increasing the replacement time of the No. 1 roller. Therefore, to further reduce the operational difficulty and improve work efficiency, improvements were made to the original locking nut.

[0003] The specification of a split-type locking nut for a conical motor in the prior art (publication number CN214742636U) mentions that "the locking nut has a threaded hole, and the locking nut has an opening groove along its axial direction and through it. The locking nut includes a first locking nut split body and a second locking nut split body. The first locking nut split body is in the shape of a hollow frustum. The inner conical surface of the pressure plate and the outer conical surface of the first locking nut split body are connected in a fit. The second locking nut split body and the clamping plate are both in the shape of hollow rings. The clamping plate is tightly fitted on the body of the second locking nut split body. The first locking nut split body and the second locking nut split body are integrally formed. The cross-section of the pressure plate is L-shaped." However, the locking nut in the prior art is difficult to disassemble under high temperature conditions, which affects the continued use of the installed equipment. Forcibly removing it will cause the mating part with the locking nut to be cut and damaged. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, a detachable split lock nut is provided to solve the problems in existing technologies where lock nuts are difficult to disassemble under high temperatures, affecting the continued use of the installed equipment, and that forcibly removing them would cause cutting damage to the mating parts with the lock nut.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, a detachable split lock nut is provided, comprising a lower lock nut and an upper lock nut. The lower lock nut has an external threaded hole on its inner side and an external fixing edge on its outer side. The upper lock nut has an outer sleeve opening on its lower outer side, and the lower lock nut is screwed onto the outer sleeve opening by threads. The upper lock nut has two sets of front positioning holes on its upper part, and the upper lock nut and the lower lock nut are detachably connected.

[0006] Furthermore, both the front and rear sides of the outer fixed edge are provided with rear positioning holes, and positioning bolts are installed in the rear positioning holes. The positioning bolts are detachable.

[0007] Furthermore, the lower part of the upper lock nut is provided with a toothed corner, which adopts a trapezoidal corner structure, and the upper inner side of the upper lock nut is provided with an internal threaded hole.

[0008] Furthermore, a positioning pin is installed in the front positioning hole, and the positioning pin is a detachable structure.

[0009] Furthermore, the lower lock nut is provided with a stepped countersunk hole, and the upper part of the stepped countersunk hole is a Φ9mm through hole, and the lower part is a threaded hole.

[0010] Furthermore, the upper lock nut is provided with a Φ9mm through hole, and the lower lock nut is configured to cooperate with the upper lock nut, and both the lower lock nut and the upper lock nut are made of GH4163 alloy material.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. This utility model locks the positioning screw. In order to prevent the positioning screw from being difficult to disassemble under high temperature conditions after long-term use, the split lock nut is designed with a cutting groove. This allows the operator to use a handheld cutting machine to accurately cut the positioning screw according to the direction of the cutting groove, splitting the split lock nut into two parts, making it easier to replace.

[0013] 2. This utility model consists of an upper lock nut and a lower lock nut. In order to ensure that the two lock nuts can be machined after assembly, and that the thread accuracy and tooth angle can be aligned during assembly, each of the upper and lower lock nuts is designed with a positioning hole. The front hole is engaged by a positioning pin, and the rear hole is engaged by a positioning screw. The positioning pin restricts the freedom of displacement in the planar direction, and the positioning screw restricts the vertical freedom after tightening. This ensures the accuracy requirements of the thread after the upper and lower lock nuts are combined into one. At the same time, the front and rear positioning pins and positioning screws are engaged to ensure that the thread accuracy remains unchanged after multiple combinations of the two lock nuts.

The lower lock nut 1 has an external screw hole 11 on its inner side and an external fixing edge 12 on its outer side. The upper lock nut 2 has an outer sleeve opening 22 on its lower outer side, and the lower lock nut 1 is screwed onto the outer sleeve opening 22 by threads. The upper lock nut 2 has two sets of front positioning holes 21 on its upper part, and the upper lock nut 2 and the lower lock nut 1 are detachably connected.

[0024] In this embodiment, rear positioning holes 10 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the outer fixed edge 12, and positioning bolts are installed in the rear positioning holes 10. The positioning bolts are detachable. The lower part of the upper lock nut 2 is provided with a tooth angle 23, which adopts a trapezoidal corner structure. The upper inner side of the upper lock nut 2 is provided with an internal thread hole 20. A positioning pin is installed in the front positioning hole 21. The positioning pin is detachable.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment, this utility model locks the positioning screw. In order to prevent the positioning screw from being difficult to disassemble after long-term use under high temperature conditions, the split lock nut is designed with a cutting groove, which makes it convenient for operators to use a handheld cutting machine to accurately cut the positioning screw according to the direction of the cutting groove, splitting the split lock nut into two parts, making it easier to replace flexibly.

[0026] In this embodiment, the lower lock nut 1 is provided with a stepped countersunk hole, and the upper part of the stepped countersunk hole is a Φ9mm through hole and the lower part is a threaded hole; the upper lock nut 2 is provided with a Φ9mm through hole, and the lower lock nut 1 and the upper lock nut 2 are fitted together, and both the lower lock nut 1 and the upper lock nut 2 are made of GH4163 alloy material.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment, this utility model consists of an upper lock nut and a lower lock nut. To ensure that the two lock nuts can be machined after assembly, and that the thread accuracy and tooth angle can be aligned during assembly, each of the upper and lower lock nuts is designed with four positioning holes. The front hole is engaged by a positioning pin, and the rear hole is engaged by a positioning screw. The positioning pin restricts the degree of freedom of displacement in the planar direction, and the positioning screw restricts the vertical degree of freedom after tightening. This ensures that the thread accuracy requirements are met after the upper and lower lock nuts are combined into one. At the same time, the front and rear positioning pins and positioning screws are engaged to ensure that the thread accuracy remains unchanged after multiple combinations of the two lock nuts.

[0028] This invention effectively solves the problem that lock nuts are difficult to disassemble under high temperatures, affecting the continued use of the installed equipment, and that forcibly removing them can cause damage to the mating parts.
