Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fastener technology, specifically to a fastener for preventing detachment. Background Technology

[0002] In the complex landscape of industrial manufacturing and engineering construction, the reliability and durability of fasteners are often the unseen cornerstones for ensuring structural safety, extending equipment lifespan, and maintaining operational efficiency. However, the loosening and corrosion problems exposed by traditional bolt-nut fasteners under harsh conditions such as vibration, dynamic loads, temperature fluctuations, or corrosive media have long been a pain point in the engineering field. Loosening leads to the loss of preload, which can cause minor issues like abnormal equipment noise and misalignment, or more serious issues like connection failure and component detachment, resulting in safety hazards and production stoppages. At the same time, environmental corrosion directly erodes the fastener itself, weakening its mechanical strength and accelerating the deterioration process.

[0003] Existing fasteners typically consist of a bolt, a nut, and a washer. During use, the nut is tightened to bring the washer into contact with the surface of the part being fastened, thus achieving the fastening process. However, after prolonged use, the friction between the threads of the nut and the bolt gradually decreases, and the initial preload also decreases. This causes the washer to be unable to effectively distribute pressure or protect the surface, resulting in a poorer fastening effect. In severe cases, it may even fall off, affecting the safety of equipment use. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, this utility model provides a fastener to prevent detachment. It solves the problem that existing fasteners in the prior art usually consist of a bolt, a nut, and a washer. In use, the nut is tightened to make the washer fit against the surface of the fixed part, thereby achieving the fastening process. However, after long-term use, the friction between the threaded meshing pair of the nut and the bolt will gradually decrease, and the initial preload will also decrease. This will cause the washer to be unable to effectively distribute pressure or protect the surface, resulting in a poor fastening effect. In severe cases, it may even fall off directly, affecting the safety of equipment use.

[0031] like Figures 1-5 As shown, it illustrates a fastener for preventing detachment in one embodiment of the present invention, comprising:

[0032] Bolt fastener 1 includes bolt body 101, the bolt body 101 is provided with teeth 102 on the outside, and limit grooves 103 are respectively opened in the inside of the bolt body 101, and internal thread grooves 104 are opened in the limit grooves 103.

[0033] Nut fastener 2 is provided on the outside of tooth 102. Nut fastener 2 includes nut body 201 which is threadedly connected to tooth 102. Limiting ring 202 is fixedly connected to the side of nut body 201. Nut body 201 and limiting ring 202 are integral structures. Several sets of slots are provided on the outer side of limiting ring 202.

[0034] The anti-loosening structure includes a reinforcing component 3 and an auxiliary fixing bolt 4. The anti-loosening structure is set in the limiting groove 103 and is used to limit the nut fastener 2 to prevent the nut fastener 2 from loosening.

[0035] The reinforcing component 3 includes a reinforcing connector 301 disposed in the limiting groove 103. The top and bottom of the reinforcing connector 301 are provided with limiting protrusions 304. The limiting protrusions 304 and the limiting groove 103 fit together in shape, and the reinforcing connector 301 slides in the limiting groove 103.

[0036] A through groove 302 is provided at the center of the reinforcing connector 301, and a fixing part 303 is provided on both sides of the reinforcing connector 301. The side of the fixing part 303 fits against the limiting ring 202.

[0037] The reinforcing connector 301 has a sliding groove 305 inside, and a piston rod 306 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 305. A spring 309 is provided on the outside of the piston rod 306.

[0038] One end of the spring 309 is fixedly connected to the piston rod 306, and the other end of the spring 309 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 305. A damping rod is provided inside the spring 309.

[0039] A lever 307 is fixedly connected to the side of the piston rod 306. A plug rod 308 is fixedly connected to the side of the lever 307 by welding. The plug rod 308 is inserted into the slot on the outside of the limiting ring 202.

[0040] The nut of the auxiliary fixing bolt 4 is inserted into the through groove 302, and the screw of the auxiliary fixing bolt 4 is threaded into the internal thread groove 104.

[0041] The nut of the auxiliary fixing bolt 4 has a cross groove 5 on its side, and the auxiliary fixing bolt 4 is set in multiple sets.

[0042] In this embodiment, during use, the operator first passes the bolt body 101 through the part to be fixed, and then tightens the nut body 201 outside the teeth 102 of the bolt body 101. After the basic tightening operation is completed, the reinforcing connector 301 is inserted from one side of the limiting groove 103 of the bolt body 101 into the limiting groove 103, and the auxiliary fixing bolt 4 is inserted along the through groove 302. Then, the operator uses a Phillips screwdriver to insert into the Phillips groove 5 on the nut of the auxiliary fixing bolt 4 and rotates the screwdriver, thereby driving the auxiliary fixing bolt 4 and the reinforcing component 3 to move along the limiting groove 103 toward the side of the nut body 201.

[0043] During this process, the auxiliary fixing bolt 4 gradually screws into the internal thread groove 104 provided in the bolt body 101. The limiting protrusions 304 provided at the top and bottom of the reinforcing connector 301 ensure stable movement of the reinforcing component 3 during movement and during the screwing in of the auxiliary fixing bolt 4, preventing skewing or jamming and significantly improving operational convenience. Multiple sets of auxiliary fixing bolts 4 with different lengths are provided. When selecting the auxiliary fixing bolt 4, the operator must choose an auxiliary fixing bolt 4 that matches the distance range between the starting position of the internal thread groove 104 and the side slot of the limiting ring 202, thereby ensuring that the auxiliary fixing bolt 4 can be screwed into the internal thread groove 104 and achieve effective connection.

[0044] Subsequently, to ensure that the overall structure formed by the reinforcing connector 301 and the fixing part 303 can fit snugly against the side of the limiting ring 202, the operator needs to move the levers 307 on both sides of the reinforcing connector 301 respectively, so that the insert rod 308 fixedly connected to the side of the lever 307 retracts into the fixing part 303. Then, the auxiliary fixing bolt 4 is screwed into the internal thread groove 104 until the overall structure formed by the reinforcing connector 301 and the fixing part 303 fits tightly against the side of the limiting ring 202. At this time, the overall structure formed by the reinforcing connector 301 and the fixing part 303 can apply a strong axial support force to the limiting ring 202 when the fastener is working. This achieves mechanical limiting of the nut fastener 2 in the axial direction, effectively preventing the nut fastener 2 from loosening along the axial direction of the bolt body 101 during use.

[0045] Finally, the levers 307 on both sides are released. At this time, the compressed return spring 309 quickly returns to its original position under the action of the elastic force. During the return process of the spring 309, the spring 309 drives the piston rods 306 and levers 307 on both sides to move to the middle position, thereby driving the insertion rod 308 to extend out from the fixed part 303 and insert into the slot opened on the outside of the limiting ring 202. The number of slots is even and the slots are closely arranged. This process can realize the circumferential locking between the reinforcing component 3 and the nut fastener 2, and can effectively prevent the nut fastener 2 from loosening due to the circumferential rotation of the bolt fastener 1 and the nut fastener 2.

[0046] This device locks the position of the nut fastener 2 in both axial and circumferential directions, providing a stable and non-detachable support for the connection position of the nut fastener 2. It can effectively prevent the nut from loosening or falling off after long-term use, thereby significantly improving the stability and safety of the entire fastener connection node.

[0047] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
