Background
After the installation and debugging of the existing mechanical equipment are completed, the footing of the equipment needs to be positioned by bolts and nuts to prevent the equipment from loosening, so that the precision of the equipment is ensured. However, after the mechanical equipment runs for a period of time, due to the change of load (such as frequent starting, overload operation, eccentricity and the like), the equipment vibrates to cause the nut to loosen, the conditions of heating and damage of the bearing, burning of the motor and the like can occur to influence production, the equipment needs to be aligned and debugged again, and the equipment is troublesome and cannot be easily ensured to be capable of recovering to the original installation precision. Therefore, in order to prevent the nut from loosening, the currently adopted methods include: adding an elastic washer below the nut; increasing the torque of the wrench; the principle of the method is to increase positive pressure by using methods of fastening double nuts and the like, so that the friction resistance of the loosening of the nuts is increased. However, even with the above method, the device may loosen again after a period of use, and then need to be aligned and debugged. The re-alignment and debugging not only occupy the production time, but also waste a large amount of manpower and material resources. Therefore, nut looseness prevention has been a subject of research in all countries around the world.

Detailed Description
Example 1
As can be seen from fig. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, the lock nut assembly of the present invention comprises a lock pad 3, a backstop nut 5, a disc spring 4, a disc spring positioning jackscrew 1 and a backstop taper pin 2; the central hole of the locking pad 3 is a stepped hole with a large upper part and a small lower part, the lower end surface of the locking pad is provided with a plurality of trapezoidal teeth, and the trapezoidal teeth are uniformly distributed along the circumference; the lower section of the retaining nut 5 is cylindrical, the upper section of the retaining nut is hexagonal, and the central hole of the retaining nut is a threaded hole; the lower section of the retaining nut 5 is matched with the large hole of the locking pad 3, the disc spring 4 is arranged between the upper end surface of the locking pad 3 and the hexagonal lower end surface of the retaining nut 5, the disc spring positioning jackscrew 1 is arranged in the radial small thread through hole of the locking pad 3, and the bottom end of the disc spring positioning jackscrew is tightly pressed on the retaining nut 5; the retaining taper pin 2 penetrates through the locking pad 3 and the retaining nut 5 along the radial direction, and pin holes in two positions on the locking pad 3 are waist-shaped holes. Wherein, the conicity of the stop taper pin 2 is 1: 50.
during assembly, firstly, a disc spring 4 is sleeved on the lower section of a retaining nut 5, then, the lower section of the retaining nut 5 is arranged in a large hole of a locking pad 3, the disc spring 4 is tightly pressed on the upper end surface of the locking pad 3, then, a disc spring positioning jackscrew 1 is arranged, and then, a round hole of a pin hole is drilled; at the moment, the locking pad 3, the retaining nut 5, the disc spring 4 and the disc spring positioning jackscrew 1 are disassembled, and finally two pin holes in the locking pad 3 are independently processed to form a waist-shaped hole by taking the round hole as the center. In the use process, the retaining taper pin 2 can ensure the relative position relation between the retaining nut 5 and the locking pad 3, thereby ensuring the locking reliability of the locking nut component. Meanwhile, when the whole locking nut assembly is required to be disassembled, the retaining taper pin 2 can be taken out.
When the locking nut assembly is used, the trapezoidal teeth are arranged on the end face of the locked nut corresponding to the locking pad, the locking pad and the locked nut are meshed to form a whole, and the rotation direction of the threaded hole in the retaining nut is opposite to that of the threaded hole in the locked nut, so that the locked nut can be effectively prevented from loosening.
Example 2
The lock nut assembly of the invention: the shape and the size of waist-shaped holes at two positions on the locking pad 3 are the same, and the diameter of the waist-shaped hole is equal to the diameter of the big end of the backstop taper pin 2.
Therefore, the small head of the retaining taper pin 2 can not contact with the waist-shaped hole and can not bear force, the retaining taper pin 2 is prevented from moving from the small diameter to the large diameter to be loosened, the locking pad 3 and the retaining nut are prevented from being loosened, and the locking reliability is guaranteed. Meanwhile, when the disc spring positioning jackscrew 1 is loosened, the locking pad 3 moves under the action of the disc spring 4, and the kidney-shaped hole ensures the movement of the locking pad 3. The retaining taper pin 2 is in clearance fit with the pin hole.
Example 3
The lock nut assembly of the invention: the tooth top of trapezoidal tooth is the plane in the locking pad 3, and the cross-sectional shape of trapezoidal tooth is right trapezoid: the left end of the tooth top straight line is connected with the end face through a vertical face, and the right end of the tooth top straight line is connected with the end face through an inclined face. Thus, one face of the tooth is a bevel and the other face is a straight face, and one face of the tooth slot is a bevel and the other face is a straight face. The trapezoidal surface is mainly beneficial to the end surface teeth to enter the tooth grooves, and the straight surface is mainly used for preventing the nut from loosening.
When 24 trapezoidal teeth are evenly distributed on the end surface of the locking pad 3: wherein, the included angle between the left and right root lines of each tooth is 10 degrees, and the line at the right end of the tooth top is positioned on the angular bisector; the included angle between the left and right lines of the tooth socket is 5 degrees.
The number of the trapezoidal grooves on the end surface is designed according to the torque and the adjacent groove tooth indexing: in view of strength, the more the teeth are divided, the narrower the tooth width is, and the more the teeth are broken, so if the torque of the end face trapezoidal groove nut is larger, the more the number of teeth which are difficult to be divided is, and the specific number is calculated by strength; the more teeth are indexed in terms of tightening, the better the tightening effect. Therefore, in the case where the torque is not large, the fastening effect is better as the number of teeth is larger, such as 72 teeth, 36 teeth, and the like.
Example 4
As can be seen from fig. 10, the nut lock device of the present invention includes a bolt 6, a to-be-locked nut 7, a lock nut assembly 8; the bolt 6 is provided with two sections of left-handed and right-handed threads, the nominal diameter M1 of the thread close to the hexagonal head of the bolt is larger than the nominal diameter M2 of the thread close to the bottom of the bolt, the turning direction of the thread M1 is the same as the turning direction of a threaded hole of the locked nut 7, and the turning direction of the thread M2 is the same as the turning direction of a threaded hole of the retaining nut 5; the locking nut 7 is screwed on the thread M1, and the locking nut component 8 is screwed on the thread M2; the locked nut 7 is connected with the locking nut component 8 through trapezoidal teeth; the locked nut 7 is firmly buckled at the hexagonal head of the bolt 6 by the end face teeth; the locking nut component 8 is assembled into a whole by the locking pad 3, the retaining nut 5, the disc spring 4, the disc spring positioning jackscrew 1 and the retaining taper pin 2.
The number of teeth of the trapezoidal teeth, the cross-sectional shape of the trapezoidal teeth and the shape of the tooth grooves on the end face of the locked nut 7 are the same as those of the trapezoidal teeth on the end face of the locking pad 3. That is, the locknut 7 and the locknut assembly 8 are engaged with each other integrally by the teeth on the end surfaces of the locknut 7 and the lock pad 3.
Specifically, the end face teeth of the nut are oblique edges along the fastening direction of the nut, and are straight edges along the loosening direction of the nut, so that when the fastened nut 7 and the retaining nut 5 (locking nut component 8) are rotated in opposite directions, the retaining nut 5 (locking nut component 8) is screwed up by pushing the oblique edges of tooth grooves of the fastened nut 7 through the oblique edges of the teeth to lock; if the locked nut 7 is loosened, the straight edge of the teeth of the locked nut is contacted with the straight edge of the tooth groove of the retaining nut 5 (the locking nut component 8), so that the retaining nut 5 (the locking nut component 8) is pushed to rotate towards the screwing direction, and the looseness can not be generated (namely, the looseness prevention purpose is achieved through the balance of the positive and negative two strands of torque).
Wherein, the height h' of the trapezoidal teeth of the locked nut 7 is slightly larger than the height h of the trapezoidal teeth of the locking pad 3.
For example, the following steps are carried out: for example, the height h' of the trapezoidal teeth of the locked nut 7 is 2.5mm, and the height h of the trapezoidal teeth of the locking pad 3 is 2 mm. The height of locking the trapezoidal tooth of nut is h '═ 2.5mm, the degree of depth that also expresses its tooth's socket is 2.5mm, and the height h of locking pad 3 trapezoidal tooth is 2mm, consequently, the trapezoidal tooth of locking pad 3 is embedded into when the tooth's socket by locking nut 7, the tooth root by locking nut can not be touchhed to the tooth top of locking pad, make the trapezoidal tooth of locking pad all in the tooth's socket by locking nut, guaranteed the locking pad and the reliability of being connected by the locking nut interlock, then guaranteed locking quality, prevent to become flexible better.
Wherein, the thread pitch p' of the screw thread of the locking nut 7 is larger than the thread pitch p of the screw thread of the retaining nut 5.
Like this, by locknut 7 and backstop nut 5 along axial distance the same, the number of turns of the closure of backstop nut 5 is more than by the lock nut's number of turns of the closure of turning, therefore backstop nut 5 can fully realize being locked by locknut 7.
Example 5
A nut locking method includes the steps of ①, firstly assembling a locking pad 3, a backstop nut 5, a disc spring 4, a disc spring positioning jackscrew 1 and a backstop taper pin 2 to form a locking nut component 8, ②, screwing a locked nut 7 on a thread M1 of a bolt 6 after the bolt 6 penetrates through a bottom foot of equipment 9, then screwing the locking nut component 8 on the bolt 6, wherein the backstop nut 5 is screwed with the thread M2 of the bolt 6, ③, screwing the disc spring positioning jackscrew 1 out when the tooth crest surface of the locking nut component 8 (the locking pad 3) is away from the tooth crest surface of the locked nut 7 by a certain distance L, enabling the disc spring 4 to bounce to enable the locking pad 3 to move downwards, enabling trapezoidal teeth on the lower end surface of the locking pad 3 to be tightly embedded into tooth grooves of the locked nut 7 to form a whole, ④, and then continuing screwing the locking nut component 8 until the disc spring 4 is compressed in place (at the moment, the locked nut 7 is tightly pressed on the bottom foot of the equipment 9).
Wherein "L" in step three is smaller than the compression amount of the disc spring 4. Thus, when the disc spring positioning jackscrew 1 is screwed out of the disc spring 4 to be bounced, the trapezoidal teeth on the locking pad 3 can be ensured to be tightly embedded into the tooth grooves of the locked nut 7, so that the locking pad and the locked nut are integrated.
When the locking nut component 8 is pressed on the bottom foot of the equipment by the locking nut 7, the locking nut component 8 (the locking pad 3) and the locked nut 7 form a whole body through the occlusion of the trapezoidal teeth, in addition, the thread turning directions of the locking nut 7 and the locking nut component 8 stopping the back nut 5 are opposite, the loosening direction of the locked nut 7 is just the locking direction of the back nut 5, and therefore, the locking nut component 8 can be effectively prevented from being loosened by the locking nut 7. Therefore, the locknut assembly 8 is equivalent to being rooted on the bolt 6, and the looseness of the locknut 7 can be effectively prevented.
When the equipment 9 needs to be moved or other situations need to detach the locking nut component 8, the anti-backing taper pin 2 in the locking nut component 8 is knocked out by a hand hammer.
The locking nut component and the nut locking device can effectively prevent the locked nut from rotating towards the loosening direction, thoroughly change the method for preventing the loosening of the conventional fastener, are a brand new fastener locking structure and enable the locking to be more effective. The invention has the value of popularization.
