At present, bolts are widely applied to the power industry, especially under the condition that a single-aperture wiring lug is generally adopted at a cable terminal, the wiring lug needs to be connected with a wire outlet plate through a bolt fastener, and after long-term operation, the electrical connection part is easy to generate heat and even fuse, so that accidents such as power supply interruption or fire disasters are caused. The main reason for the above problem is that when the electrical equipment is in operation, the joints of the electrical equipment are loosened by mechanical shock or fatigue of the bolts themselves, so that the pressure on the contact surfaces of the joints is reduced, the contact area is reduced, the contact resistance is increased, and the joints generate heat. On the other hand, when the metal at the connection portion expands due to overheating, a gap is formed between the contact surfaces, oxidation of the contact surfaces is accelerated, contact resistance rapidly increases due to film resistance generated by the oxide film, heat generation is increased, and a vicious cycle is formed. In the prior art, the locking washer is mostly arranged to prevent looseness, but the mode cannot fundamentally solve the problem of heat generation at the electric connection part.

Therefore, it is necessary to provide a bolt that can solve the problem of heat generation at the electrical connection.
