Alternatively, as shown in fig. 1, the outer side wall of the pulling and expanding portion 13 is provided with a groove 132, and the groove 132 is provided extending in the axial direction of the second through hole 131 and extends from one end to the other end of the pulling and expanding portion 13.
In the present alternative embodiment, the recess 132 may be disposed longitudinally, i.e., extending in the axial direction of the second through hole 131, or may be disposed obliquely with respect to the axial direction of the second through hole 131, which is not particularly limited herein. In this way, the groove 132 is formed in the outer side wall of the stretching portion 13, so that the local thickness of the stretching portion 13 is reduced, the stretching portion 13 is convenient to expand, the contact area between the stretching portion 13 and the hole wall of the mounting hole 31 can be increased after the stretching portion 13 expands, and the contact area between the stretching portion 13 and the plate workpiece 30 is further increased, so that the connection between the nut structure 10 and the plate workpiece 30 is more stable.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the orthographic projection of the stopper portion 12 on the setting plane, which is a plane perpendicular to the axis of the screw hole 111, covers the orthographic projection of the pull-up portion 13 on the setting plane.
Specifically, the orthographic projection of the limiting portion 12 on the setting plane covers the orthographic projection of the expanding portion 13 on the setting plane, which is to be understood that the orthographic projection of the expanding portion 13 may be located within the orthographic projection range of the limiting portion 12 or may coincide with the orthographic projection of the limiting portion 12, that is, the orthographic projection area of the limiting portion 12 on the setting plane is greater than or equal to the orthographic projection area of the expanding portion 13 on the setting plane.
In this alternative embodiment, the size and shape of the limiting hole 21 on the limiting plate 20 are generally matched to the size and shape of the limiting portion 12 of the nut structure 10, and since the limiting portion 12 is located at the middle position of the nut structure 10, when inserting the limiting portion 12 of the nut structure 10 into the limiting hole 21 of the limiting plate 20, the pulling portion 13 of the nut structure 10 needs to be inserted through the limiting hole 21 first. Based on this, in this embodiment, the front projection of the limiting portion 12 on the setting plane is set to cover the front projection of the expanding portion 13 on the setting plane, so that the outer contour of the expanding portion 13 is smaller than or equal to the outer contour of the limiting portion 12, so as to ensure that the expanding portion 13 of the nut structure 10 can pass through the limiting hole 21, and further ensure that the limiting portion 12 of the nut structure 10 can form a plug-in fit with the limiting hole 21 of the limiting plate 20.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 3, the outer contour of the orthographic projection of the expanding portion 13 on the setting plane is an inscribed circle of the outer contour of the orthographic projection of the limiting portion 12 on the setting plane.
In this alternative embodiment, the orthographic projection of the stretching portion 13 on the setting plane is in a circular ring structure, the orthographic projection of the limiting portion 12 on the setting plane is in a structure with a regular polygon outer contour and a circular inner contour, and the orthographic projection outer contour of the stretching portion 13 is an inscribed circle of the orthographic projection outer contour of the limiting portion 12. Thus, the volume of the limiting part 12 can be reduced as much as possible under the condition that the limiting part 12 can play a limiting role, so that the material consumption of the nut structure 10 is reduced, and the production cost is further reduced.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 1 and 3, the nut structure 10 further includes a flange portion 14, where the nut body portion 11, the flange portion 14, the limiting portion 12, and the tensioning portion 13 are sequentially connected along an axial direction of the threaded hole 111, and an orthographic projection of the limiting portion 12 on a set plane is located in an orthographic projection of the flange portion 14 on the set plane.
In this alternative embodiment, the nut structure 10 is additionally provided with a flange portion 14, and the flange portion 14 is located between the nut body portion 11 and the limiting portion 12. The flange 14 is generally cylindrical, and may be prismatic or cylindrical, and in practice, it is generally preferable that the flange 14 be cylindrical. The central axis of the flange portion 14 is generally aligned with the axis of the threaded bore 111 for ease of manufacturing. The orthographic projection of the limiting portion 12 on the setting plane is located within the orthographic projection of the flange portion 14 on the setting plane, that is, the orthographic projection area of the limiting portion 12 is smaller than the orthographic projection area of the flange portion 14.
In this way, the arrangement of the flange portion 14 can increase the stress area between the nut structure 10 and the limiting plate 20, so as to improve the limiting effect between the nut structure 10 and the limiting plate 20, and the orthographic projection of the limiting portion 12 on the setting plane is arranged to be positioned in the orthographic projection of the flange portion 14 on the setting plane, so that the limiting plate 20 is limited by the flange portion 14 in the axial direction of the threaded hole 111, and the limiting plate 20 is prevented from being separated from the limiting portion 12 of the nut structure 10.
Referring to fig. 4 to 8, a combined workpiece provided by the embodiment of the utility model includes a plate workpiece 30, a limiting plate 20 and a nut structure 10 as described above, wherein the limiting plate 20 is provided with a limiting hole 21, a limiting portion 12 of the nut structure 10 is used for being in plug-in fit with the limiting hole 21, the plate workpiece 30 is provided with a mounting hole 31, and a pulling and expanding portion 13 of the nut structure 10 is inserted into the mounting hole 31 and is used for being in butt fit with a hole wall of the mounting hole 31 through expansion deformation.
In this embodiment, the size and shape of the limiting hole 21 are generally adapted to the size and shape of the limiting portion 12, and the mounting hole 31 may be a cylindrical hole structure or a conical hole structure, which is not particularly limited herein. During assembly, the stretching portion 13 of the nut structure 10 is usually inserted through the limiting plate 20 and into the mounting hole 31 of the plate workpiece 30, meanwhile, the limiting portion 12 of the nut structure 10 is inserted into the limiting hole 21 of the limiting plate 20, and then the stretching portion 13 of the nut structure 10 is fixed at the mounting hole 31 of the plate workpiece 30 by using a stretching tool. In this way, the nut structure 10 can be fixed on the plate workpiece 30 in a clamping rather than welding manner, so that the nut structure 10 can be embedded on the plate workpiece 30 made of different metal materials under the condition of ensuring the corrosion resistance of the plate workpiece 30, so that the plate workpiece 30 is connected with other structures, and when the nut structure 10 is clamped on the plate workpiece 30, the setting of the limiting plate 20 can enlarge the contact area with the plate workpiece 30, further enlarge the stress area, and effectively prevent the part, provided with the mounting hole 31, of the plate workpiece 30 from being compressed and damaged when the nut structure 10 is connected with the plate workpiece 30.
Alternatively, as shown in conjunction with fig. 7 and 8, the end of the pulling-up portion 13 remote from the limiting portion 12 is flush with the side of the sheet material work piece 30 remote from the limiting plate 20.
In this embodiment, when the plate workpiece 30 is in a profile structure, the side surface of the plate workpiece 30 away from the side of the limiting plate 20 refers to the outer side surface of the side plate provided with the mounting hole 31 in the profile structure, that is, the side surface of the side plate located outside the cavity 32. In this way, by setting the end of the pull-up portion 13 away from the limiting portion 12 flush with the side surface of the side of the plate workpiece 30 away from the limiting plate 20, the connection between the pull-up portion 13 and the plate workpiece 30 can achieve approximately the same effect as welding, and the axial load and the torsional load that can be borne by the nut structure 10 can be further improved.
Alternatively, as shown in connection with fig. 8, the plate work piece 30 is a profile structure provided with a cavity 32, the nut structure 10 and the limiting plate 20 are disposed in the cavity 32, and the cavity wall of the cavity 32 is used to limit the rotation of the limiting plate 20 relative to the plate work piece 30.
Thus, when the nut structure 10 is applied to the plate workpiece 30 of the profile structure, the limiting plate 20 can cooperate with the cavity wall of the cavity 32 of the profile structure to limit the nut structure 10, so that when the plate workpiece 30 with the nut structure 10 is connected with other structures through bolts, the nut structure 10 is prevented from rotating relative to the plate workpiece 30, and the connection between the plate workpiece 30 of the profile structure and the other structures is ensured to be reliable and firm.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, the mounting hole 31 includes a cylindrical section 311 and a conical section 312 which are mutually communicated and coaxially arranged, the conical section 312 is located on a side of the cylindrical section 311 away from the limiting plate 20, and the aperture of the conical section 312 is gradually increased from one end of the conical section 312 toward the cylindrical section 311 to one end of the conical section 312 away from the cylindrical section 311. That is, the mounting hole 31 is formed by combining a circular hole and a tapered hole. In this way, the conical section 312 can increase the contact area between the expanding portion 13 and the wall of the mounting hole 31 when the expanding portion 13 of the nut structure 10 expands, so that the expanding portion 13 and the wall of the mounting hole 31 are more tightly attached and clamped firmly.
Although the utility model is disclosed above, the scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Various changes and modifications may be made by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, and these changes and modifications will fall within the scope of the utility model.
