Split Threaded Nut Mechanism for Quick Screw-Rod Installation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional nuts require a long time to lock and are inconvenient for quick installation and disassembly, especially in applications like installing a faucet on a basin, where fast and efficient assembly is necessary.
Innovation Solution
A quick-release and quick-installation nut design featuring a nut body with a first and second threaded block, connected via elastic claw and hook portions, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly by engaging and disengaging with a screw rod through a combination of rotating and pulling mechanisms.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a conventional nut is rotated from the end of a screw rod to the locking position, then the nut can be securely fastened, but the locking process takes a long time and cannot achieve quick installation
Solution Approach 1:
The nut body is divided into a first threaded block and a second threaded block that can be detached from each other. This segmentation allows the blocks to be separated and moved independently along the screw rod, enabling quick positioning without rotational movement, thus resolving the contradiction between secure fastening and quick installation.
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting member incorporates elastic claw portions that can dynamically change state between engaged and disengaged positions. This dynamic mechanism allows the nut blocks to be quickly locked or unlocked by simple pulling or pushing motions, achieving fast installation while maintaining secure fastening when engaged.
2Reliability
If a conventional nut is used for installing a faucet on a basin, then the connection is secure, but the installation process is inconvenient and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the nut into detachable threaded blocks connected by a connecting member, the design enables simple pulling or pushing motions for installation and removal, greatly improving installation convenience while maintaining secure connection when the blocks are engaged on the screw rod.
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting member acts as an intermediary that facilitates easy manipulation. Its elastic claw portions engage with the threaded blocks to provide secure connection, while its structure allows simple pulling or pushing actions to achieve both secure fastening and quick installation/removal.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables rapid and convenient installation and disassembly of the nut body with the screw rod, facilitating quicker installation processes and reducing installation time, particularly beneficial for applications like faucet installation.
Implementation Method 1
Two ends of the first connecting member are provided with a first elastic claw portion a second elastic claw portion, respectively. The first elastic claw portion is configured to clasp the first connecting portion. The second elastic claw portion is configured to clasp the second connecting portion.

AI summary
A quick-release and quick-installation nut includes a nut body. The nut body includes a first threaded block and a second threaded block. An inner wall of the first threaded block and an inner wall of the second threaded block are formed with inner threaded surfaces for cooperating with an outer threaded surface of a screw rod. A right end of the first threaded block is detachably connected to a right end of the second threaded block. A left end of the first threaded block is hingedly or detachably connected to a left end of the second threaded block. The nut can realize quick disassembly and installation with the screw rod.
