[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. In this utility model, the cooperation between components such as the upper and lower teeth forms a core self-locking force while increasing the frictional resistance between the equipment, the connecting parts and the nut, achieving double anti-loosening, preventing bolts from loosening and improving connection stability.

[0016] 2. In this utility model, the stainless steel substrate ensures the strength and rigidity of the gasket, the composite coating improves wear resistance and friction coefficient, and increases the stability and durability of the gasket's self-locking performance.

[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-4 One embodiment of this utility model is a self-locking stainless steel washer, including an upper washer 1 and a lower washer 2. The upper washer 1 and the lower washer 2 are provided with upper teeth 3 on the side close to each other, and the other side of the lower washer 2 is provided with lower teeth 4. The upper washer 1 is provided with anti-slip grooves 5 and protrusions 6 on one side of its surface.

[0026] Specifically, the core self-locking force is formed by the mechanical engagement of the upper washer 1 and the lower washer 2 through the upper teeth 3 and the lower teeth 4, which can restrict the relative rotation of the bolt. At the same time, the corresponding surfaces of the upper washer 1 and the lower washer 2 are provided with evenly distributed anti-slip grooves 5 and protrusions 6. The anti-slip grooves 5 and protrusions 6 are staggered to form a rough contact surface, which increases the frictional resistance between the upper washer 1 and the lower washer 2 and the nut and the connecting parts, thereby improving the anti-loosening effect, enhancing the self-locking stability of the equipment, preventing the bolt from loosening under complex working conditions such as vibration and high load, ensuring the long-term stability of the connection, and is suitable for various mechanical connection scenarios with high requirements for anti-loosening.

[0027] Reference Figure 5 The inner wall center of both the upper washer 1 and the lower washer 2 is provided with a stainless steel substrate 7, and each stainless steel substrate 7 is provided with a composite coating 8 on both sides.

[0028] Specifically, the upper washer 1 and the lower washer 2 use a stainless steel substrate 7 as the core support structure, which provides strength and rigidity to the whole, ensuring that they are not easily deformed or broken when subjected to pressure during bolt tightening. At the same time, it maintains the overall shape stability of the upper washer 1 and the lower washer 2, avoiding the impact of structural instability on the self-locking effect. The composite coating 8 improves the wear resistance of the surface of the upper washer 1 and the lower washer 2, reduces frictional wear with bolts and connectors during long-term use, extends the service life of the upper washer 1 and the lower washer 2, and can also increase the surface friction coefficient, thereby further enhancing the contact resistance with bolts and connectors, assisting in strengthening the self-locking performance, preventing slippage of the contact surface and loosening, and adapting to the use needs of various complex working conditions.

[0029] Reference Figure 5 The composite coating 8 on the inner wall of the lower gasket 2 has a sealing groove, and a sealing ring 9 is provided on the inner wall of the sealing groove.

[0030] Specifically, an annular sealing groove is provided on the composite coating 8 on the inner wall of the lower washer 2. The sealing ring 9 is installed in close contact with the sealing groove. The sealing ring 9 can fill the tiny gaps between the lower washer 2 and the bolt and connector through its own deformation, so as to achieve a reliable seal. It can also prevent leakage of liquid, gas and dust media, avoid the intrusion of media that may cause bolt corrosion or affect the connection stability, improve the sealing performance and overall durability of the connection, and is suitable for working conditions with sealing requirements.

[0031] Reference Figure 4 Anti-slip groove 5 and protrusion 6 are provided on one side surface of the lower washer 2.

[0032] Specifically, the anti-slip grooves 5 and protrusions 6 are evenly and interwoven in a ring on one side of the lower washer 2, forming a rough contact surface. This increases the frictional resistance between the lower washer 2 and the connector, prevents relative sliding between them when the bolt vibrates, ensures that the lower washer 2 and the connector are in contact with a balanced force, and avoids the reduction of anti-loosening performance caused by local wear.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The tip of the upper tooth 3 engages with the tip of the lower tooth 4.

[0034] Specifically, the teeth of the upper tooth 3 and the lower tooth 4 engage together to form a tight mechanical mesh, which can directly restrict the relative sliding between the upper washer 1 and the lower washer 2, blocking the power transmission for bolt loosening from the root, so that the equipment can maintain stable meshing even under high vibration and complex working conditions, avoiding tooth end disengagement leading to self-locking failure, improving the self-locking firmness of the upper washer 1 and the lower washer 2, and ensuring the long-term stability of the bolt connection.

[0035] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 A rubber sealing gasket 10 is provided on one side of the sealing ring 9; the rubber sealing gasket 10 is provided on the surface of the composite coating 8 on one side of the lower gasket 2.

[0036] Specifically, the rubber sealing gasket 10 is tightly attached to the surface of the composite coating 8, and the sealing ring 9 cooperates with the rubber sealing gasket 10 to form a double sealing structure. The rubber sealing gasket 10 can fill the tiny gaps between the sealing ring 9 and the surrounding components through elastic deformation, further improving the sealing performance. While ensuring the anti-loosening effect, it also strengthens the sealing performance, making it suitable for connection scenarios with sealing requirements.

[0037] Referring to the figure, anti-slip grooves 5 and bumps 6 are provided on the surface of the composite coating 8.

[0038] Specifically, the anti-slip grooves 5 and protrusions 6 are evenly and alternately distributed on the surface of the composite coating 8, which can improve the surface roughness and friction coefficient of the coating. Combined with the wear-resistant properties of the composite coating 8 itself, it can increase the friction with the connector to achieve the anti-loosening effect, and reduce the surface wear caused by long-term friction, extend the service life of the component, ensure the balanced contact force, and further guarantee the connection stability.

[0039] Working principle: When this utility model is used, the upper washer 1 and the lower washer 2 are engaged with each other by the upper teeth 3 and the lower teeth 4. The mechanical interlocking between the upper teeth 3 and the lower teeth 4 forms the core self-locking force. At the same time, the anti-slip grooves 5 and protrusions 6 on the surface of the lower washer 2 can increase the frictional resistance with the connecting parts and improve the anti-loosening effect. The upper washer 1 also increases the friction with the nut through the anti-slip grooves 5 and protrusions 6 on its surface, thereby further achieving the purpose of anti-loosening.

[0040] Both the upper washer 1 and the lower washer 2 use a stainless steel substrate 7 as their structural core to ensure overall strength and rigidity. The composite coating 8 on both sides of the stainless steel substrate 7 can improve the surface wear resistance and friction coefficient, ensuring stable self-locking performance and resistance to wear during long-term use. In addition, the composite coating 8 on the inner wall of the lower washer 2 has a sealing groove with a sealing ring 9 inside. Together with the rubber sealing gasket 10 embedded in the inner wall of the composite coating 8, it can achieve self-locking while filling gaps through elastic deformation to achieve a sealing effect. It can prevent leakage of liquid and gas media, thereby achieving stable self-locking, preventing bolt loosening, and achieving a sealing function. This results in multiple effects of self-locking stability, wear resistance and durability, sealing, and structural stability, making it suitable for connection scenarios where both anti-loosening and sealing are required.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
