Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of bolt loosening indicator devices, specifically to a bolt loosening indicator device. Background Technology
[0002] A bolt loosening indicator is a safety monitoring device used to monitor the status of bolt connections in real time. It indicates whether the bolts are loose through intuitive methods such as physical displacement and color changes. It is widely used in fields such as machinery, construction, transportation, and energy that require high-reliability connections, and helps prevent equipment failures, safety accidents, or structural failures caused by bolt loosening.
[0003] Currently, there are 25 specifications of connecting bolt caps, and bolts are usually encased inside equipment or hidden in structures, making it difficult to directly observe when they loosen. However, existing bolt loosening indicator devices do not have the function of manufacturing cylindrical bolt caps with scale indicators according to the nut size, and lack a structure to indicate the loosening and amount of bolt using scale size labels, resulting in poor loosening indication effect. Therefore, we propose a connecting bolt loosening indicator device. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides a bolt loosening indicator. This bolt loosening indicator with scale markings is manufactured according to the size of the nut and has a cylindrical structure, which facilitates direct observation of the loosened bolt by personnel. The scale markings can be used to indicate the loosening and the amount of loosening of the bolt, thereby effectively improving the loosening indication effect.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is a connecting bolt loosening indicator device, including an upper connecting plate, an indicator zero point A, a screw indicator needle A, a screw indicator needle B, an indicator zero point B and a transparent anti-fouling cover. The lower end of the upper connecting plate is provided with a lower connecting plate, and a bolt rod is provided between the upper connecting plate and the lower connecting plate. The upper end of the bolt rod passes through the upper connecting plate.
[0006] The top of the bolt rod is provided with a screw indicator needle A, and a bolt loosening indicator cap is sleeved around the top of the bolt rod.

A zero-point indicator B is fixed on the top of the lower connecting plate and on one side of the screw indicator needle B.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, this new type of bolt loosening indicator with scale markings is manufactured according to the size of the nut and has a cylindrical structure, which makes it easy for personnel to directly observe the loosened bolts. The scale markings can be used to indicate the loosening and the amount of loosening of the bolts, thereby effectively improving the loosening indication effect.
[0008] Specifically, the bolt loosening indicator cap is surrounded by a transparent anti-fouling cover, the upper end of the outer side of the bolt loosening indicator cap is provided with external threads, and the lower end of the inner side of the bolt loosening indicator cap is provided with internal threads.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, personnel can connect the transparent anti-fouling cover to the bolt loosening indicator cap by using the combination of external and internal threads. The transparent anti-fouling cover can prevent dust, oil or moisture from corroding the zero point A and the bolt indicator needle A located at the top of the bolt rod, thus extending their service life.
[0010] Specifically, the bolt loosening indicator cap has a threaded interface inside.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the threaded interface allows the bolt loosening indicator cap to be fitted onto the outside of the bolt shank in a threaded connection manner, facilitating disassembly.
[0012] Specifically, the upper connecting plate has through holes evenly distributed around its interior.
[0013] Specifically, a metal washer is provided between the top of the bolt rod and the bolt loosening indicator cap.
