Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of locking devices, and specifically relates to an expansion screw locking device. Background Technology
[0002] In the processing of steel blocks for most automotive hot pressing molds, expansion plugs for water channels in the steel blocks need to be designed for water sealing. However, current manual installation easily leads to uneven expansion of the plugs, poor sealing effect, insufficient reliability, and is extremely time-consuming. There is a lack of a simple and efficient fixture for installing expansion bolts on the market. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an expansion screw locking device, which has the advantage of being able to lock expansion screws efficiently.
[0004] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an expansion screw locking device, comprising an expansion screw tube, an expansion screw core disposed inside the expansion screw tube, a locking sleeve threadedly connected to the surface of the expansion screw core, a fixing sleeve slidably sleeved on the surface of the locking sleeve, a top block installed at the top of the locking sleeve, fixing blocks symmetrically welded to the surface of the fixing sleeve, a holding sleeve slidably sleeved on the surface of the fixing blocks, a buffer spring bolted between the other end of the fixing block and the holding sleeve via a spring fixing plate, and a damper installed between the other end of the fixing block and the holding sleeve.
[0005] The above technical solution can efficiently tighten the expansion screws, making installation efficient and convenient, ensuring that the plug expands to its limit, while also achieving good shock resistance and protection. It converts some kinetic energy into elastic potential energy and then releases it slowly, reducing the force directly transmitted to the hand, and is highly practical.
[0006] The present invention is further configured such that an internal hexagonal groove is provided on the top of the top block.
[0007] The above technical solution allows for easy rotation of the top block and locking sleeve by personnel using tools, facilitating the screwing of the locking sleeve into the surface of the expansion screw core or its removal.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the locking nut, the fixing cylinder and the top block are all made of stainless steel.
[0009] The above technical solution features high strength, low density, and excellent corrosion resistance in the locking nut, fixing sleeve, and top block.
[0010] The present invention is further provided that the surface of the expansion screw tube is integrally formed with a reinforcing strip.
[0011] The above technical solution enhances the stability of the expansion bolt locking into the steel block water channel plug by setting up a reinforcing strip.
[0012] The present invention is further provided that a nitrile rubber sleeve is fixedly fitted onto the surface of the gripping cylinder.
[0013] The above technical solution, through the installation of nitrile rubber sleeves, can play a role in shock absorption and slip prevention.
[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the buffer spring is made of carbon spring steel.
[0015] Using the above technical solution, the buffer spring has the characteristics of excellent mechanical properties, good anti-elasticity, low temperature resistance and corrosion resistance.
[0016] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. First, place the fixing sleeve onto the locking nut and pull it to the highest position. After the fixing sleeve is in place, screw the bottom end of the locking nut downwards into the inner core of the expansion screw. After the locking nut and the inner core of the expansion screw are connected, lock the expansion tube of the expansion screw into the thread of the steel block water pipe plug. Finally, hold the nitrile rubber sleeve by hand and pull it forcefully to pull the inner core of the expansion screw to a certain position until the expansion tube of the expansion screw expands to the optimal state. This can efficiently lock the expansion screw, making installation efficient and convenient, and ensuring that the plug expands to the limit.
[0018] 2. By forcefully pulling on the nitrile rubber sleeve, the top of the fixed cylinder will violently impact the top block. When the top of the fixed cylinder impacts the top block, the impact force will not only be transmitted downward to the fixed block, but it will also cause the person's hand and the nitrile rubber sleeve being held to move inward. When the nitrile rubber sleeve moves inward, it will compress the buffer spring and damper. When the buffer spring and damper are compressed, they will absorb and cancel the shock energy of the fixed block, which can achieve good shock resistance and protection. It converts some of the kinetic energy into elastic potential energy and then releases it slowly, reducing the force directly transmitted to the hand, and is highly practical.
