Abstract

This utility model discloses a high-reliability anti-loosening fastening bolt connector for aero-engines, including a bolt head. The bolt head, the outer wall of the nut, and the inner wall of the hexagonal recess are all welded and fixedly connected with anti-slip textures. An installation slot is provided on the engine component, and the bolt shank is inserted into the installation slot. This high-reliability anti-loosening fastening bolt connector for aero-engines reduces thread wear by using the 60° triangular structure of the polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coated thread on the bolt shank to connect it to the nut. Simultaneously, its elastic deformation fills the thread gap, enhancing the anti-loosening effect. Furthermore, auxiliary bolts and threaded mounting grooves can be used to further fix the bolt head and nut, restricting circumferential rotation of the nut. Anti-loosening washers provide support for relaxation, and the anti-slip textures prevent wrench slippage. The anti-loosening washers can be stably installed and removed using threaded mounting rings and auxiliary threaded mounting grooves, resulting in more stable installation.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bolt connector technology, specifically a high-reliability anti-loosening fastening bolt connector for aero-engines. Background Technology

[0002] Aero engines operate in extremely harsh environments, enduring multiple loads including high-frequency vibration, high temperatures (up to 300-800℃), high pressure, and airflow impact. The reliability of the connections of their internal components directly affects the engine's operational safety. As a core fastening component, the bolt connector, if it loosens during operation, may lead to component displacement, friction, or even breakage, causing serious safety accidents.

[0003] The existing bolt connector structure CN201180049336.1 is made of a material with a lower elastic modulus as the bolts are positioned closer to the ends, in order to even out the load distributed on each bolt. Therefore, this load-sharing of the bolts can be averaged regardless of the shape of the joint between the joined parts. Thus, since no special processing is required for the joint, a bolt connector structure that does not conflict with design specifications can be achieved. However, it has shortcomings: the existing equipment has poor stability during tightening, poor anti-loosening and tightening effects, and poor gasket installation stability, which may cause loosening. Therefore, a highly reliable anti-loosening tightening bolt connector for aero-engines is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a highly reliable anti-loosening fastening bolt connector for aero-engines, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as poor stability of bolt connector structure during fastening operation, poor anti-loosening and fastening effects, and poor gasket installation stability, which may cause loosening.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-reliability anti-loosening fastening bolt connector for aero-engines, comprising a bolt head, a bolt shank vertically fixedly connected to the lower center of the bolt head, and an engine component fitted onto the outer wall of the bolt shank; an internal hexagonal groove is formed on the upper end of the inner wall of the bolt head; a nut is fitted onto the lower end of the outer wall of the bolt shank; a flange is fixedly connected to the nut and one edge of the bolt head; an auxiliary threaded mounting groove is formed on the inner side of one end of the flange; a threaded mounting ring is inserted into the inner wall of the auxiliary threaded mounting groove; an anti-loosening washer is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded mounting ring; an auxiliary bolt is inserted into the inner wall of the flange; anti-slip textures are welded and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bolt head, the nut, and the internal hexagonal groove; an mounting slot is formed on the engine component; and the bolt shank is inserted into the mounting slot.

[0006] Preferably, the outer wall of the bolt shank has a 60° triangular thread with a polytetrafluoroethylene coating, and the nut is screwed into the bolt shank.

[0007] Preferably, the heads of the nuts and bolts are fitted and supported to the engine components by means of anti-loosening washers.

[0008] Preferably, the flange is connected to the engine component by auxiliary bolts and threaded mounting grooves in a locking and pressing manner.

[0009] Preferably, the anti-slip texture is distributed in a covering position on the bolt head, nut, and inner and outer walls of the hexagonal groove, and the anti-slip texture is a raised mesh structure.

[0010] Preferably, the anti-loosening gasket is screwed into the flange via a threaded mounting ring and an auxiliary threaded mounting groove.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This high-reliability anti-loosening fastening bolt connector for aero-engines can reduce thread wear by using the 60° triangular structure of the polytetrafluoroethylene coating on the bolt shank to connect it to the nut. At the same time, its elastic deformation fills the thread gap, enhancing the anti-loosening effect. Furthermore, the bolt head and nut can be further fixed by auxiliary bolts and threaded mounting grooves, restricting the circumferential rotation of the nut. The anti-loosening washer can provide support for relaxation, and the anti-slip texture can prevent the wrench from slipping. Moreover, the anti-loosening washer can be stably installed and removed by threaded mounting rings and auxiliary threaded mounting grooves, making the installation more stable.
