Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a securing device for producing a secured connection and in particular a secured screw connection.
  • the securing device comprises at least one securing component, which is designed in particular as a washer, a threaded nut, a threaded screw and/or as a securing unit.
  • the invention also relates to a method for manufacturing such a security device.
  • Safety devices should permanently secure screw connections against a loss of preload force and unintentional loosening.
  • Various backup devices for the production of secured screw connections have become known from the prior art.
  • Friction creates a non-positive connection between counter-positions, such as a component and a screw with a screw head or a nut.
  • the washer makes it possible to distribute the preload force applied by a screw head or a nut over a larger area, so that higher preload forces are possible without damaging the counter surface.
  • the disadvantage here is that even the slightest loads, such as vibrations, can cause the counter-layers to migrate relative to the washer over time. The screw or nut loosens due to the relative movement.
  • a simple washer with flat contact surfaces can therefore only insufficiently secure a screw connection.
  • Locktix discs flat washers have also become known, which have nubs protruding outwards in the manner of a pyramid and distributed over their entire lateral surface.
  • the functionality is satisfactory in itself.
  • the pyramid-shaped nubs can press into the surface of the counter surface over the course of the service life.
  • the preload of the screw connection can decrease considerably.
  • the surface or, for example, a layer of paint can also be damaged. Therefore, improved screw locks are desired.
  • a spring washer from DE 3042388 A1 has a disc-shaped body on which are trapezoidal elevations with scraping edges formed thereon, which project outwards in a pointed manner. The scraping edges dig into the surface of the workpiece or counter-surface during and after screwing. This wedges the spring ring.
  • the disadvantage is that the surface of the mating surface can be damaged.
  • the preload can be significantly reduced after tightening due to setting and creep processes. This reduces safety and, in addition, you may end up with damaged surfaces.
  • DE 202020 101 633 U1 discloses a screw lock washer with an annular washer body.
  • the spring force should be dimensioned in such a way that the resilient effect can compensate for the loss of prestressing force caused by the setting and/or creeping processes.
  • the disc body has a cording in the form of a cord that protrudes obliquely outwards Engaging or gearing structure with a jagged surface.
  • the ring is convex in cross-section. When tightening, the ring is deformed and jammed between the counter layers.
  • the serrated surface wedges itself in the counter surface and is intended to prevent a screw head from loosening.
  • the surface of the counter-layer can be damaged by the sharply protruding teeth and the prestress can be reduced considerably as the setting and creeping processes progress.
  • the relative movement can destroy paint or a surface coating on a component due to the prongs.
  • disc-shaped safety devices have become known which have flat contact surfaces with pointed elevations, such as are known from DE 29922315 U1 or GB 93688 A, for example.
  • the elevations dig into the surfaces of the mating layers and thus secure the screw connection.
  • the lock washers initially enable good form-fitting power transmission when tightened. High preload forces can cause the bumps to further indent over time. This reduces the preload force of the screw connection. In the event of additional alternating loads, such as vibrations, the screw connection can then come loose particularly easily.
  • wedge lock washers such as from CN 209278312 U or EP 3253 977 A1
  • Two matching lock washers are positioned between a screw head and a component.
  • radially outwardly extending ribs are formed, which can dig into the screw head or the component in a form-fitting manner.
  • the mutually facing sides of the wedge-lock washers have step-like wedges which engage one another.
  • the wedges have a greater pitch than the thread to be secured Screw connection, so that there is a high resistance to loosening the screw connection. When tightening, the discs can deform against each other.
  • the object of the present invention to provide a securing device for screw connections which is independent of a thread geometry and which, with simple means, ensures improved protection against a loss of preload force and loosening of the screw connection and in particular largely avoids damage to a surface of a counter bearing .
  • the safety device should be able to be produced more cost-effectively than safety devices of the same value as are available in the prior art.
  • a safety device is used to produce at least one, in particular permanently, secured connection and in particular a secured screw connection.
  • the security device comprises at least one security component, wherein the security component z. B. a washer, a Includes a threaded nut, a threaded screw and/or a securing unit or is designed as such.
  • the securing component comprises at least one contact body with at least two opposite outer sides, of which at least one is designed as a (substantially planar) contact side for contact with a counter-surface.
  • the securing component and in particular the contact body has a side surface on the contact side.
  • the securing component comprises at least one through opening connecting the two outer sides for carrying out, and in particular for receiving, e.g. B.
  • a threaded bolt and / or at least one of the contact side of the securing component (adjacent to the side surface) protruding threaded bolt On the contact side of the contact body, a planar contact surface is formed which is interrupted by a plurality of indentations and defines a contact plane. The contact plane delimits the contact body in the area of the side surface. The contact body does not protrude beyond (beyond the contact level) in the area of the side surface.
  • a surface area of the contact surface arranged in the contact plane on the side surface is preferably larger than a surface area of the depressions on the side surface.
  • the invention has many advantages.
  • An essential advantage of the invention is that the contact surface is formed in a common contact plane. As a result, a very large level surface area of the side surface is made available, which enables a particularly large-area support. At the same time, depressions are formed on the side surface to a smaller extent, which interrupt the flat contact surface. When tightening a screw connection with sufficient clamping force, the screw shank is elastically preloaded.
  • the effects of setting processes are minimized over the large contact area.
  • negative effects of creep processes are also eliminated by the large surface area of the flat contact surface is minimized.
  • the effects of creep processes are still used positively, since a certain elastic deformation of the surface of the counter layer results and some material of the counter layer deforms elastically and moves into the depressions.
  • a type of elastic form fit is achieved, which is canceled again when the connection is released and the prestress is thus released. Damage to the surface of the mating surface is thus avoided due to the majority of the surface area of the flat contact surface arranged in a common contact plane.
  • a screw connection can be reliably secured and damage can be avoided.
  • the invention allows an improved function with simple and inexpensive means. Essential for this is the high proportion of flat contact surface and a (considerably) small proportion of indentations in between, without having projections or prongs protruding beyond the contact surface. A certain degree of plastic deformation on the counter-surface is also possible.

  • the proportion of the area of the contact surface on the side surface can be approximately 70% and the proportion of the area of the depressions on the side surface can be approximately 30% (approximately +/-5% in each case).

  • the contact surfaces of the contact areas span the contact level. It is also conceivable that almost all of several surface areas are arranged in a common contact plane, while a surface area or individual surface areas are set back and are arranged outside of the common contact plane.

Un dispositif de fixation (1) permettant d'établir une liaison à vis fixée (2), comprenant au moins un élément de fixation (1a). L'élément de fixation (1a) est conçu sous la forme d'une rondelle (3), d'un écrou fileté (3a), d'une vis filetée (3b) et/ou d'une unité de fixation (3c). L'élément de fixation (1a) comprend un corps de contact (2a) pourvu de deux côtés extérieurs (2b, 2c) qui se trouvent en regard l'un de l'autre et dont au moins un est conçu en tant que côté de contact (4, 5) destiné à venir en contact avec un support (23, 24) et présente une surface de côté (40) sur le côté de contact (4, 5). L'élément de fixation (1a) présente une ouverture traversante (6) qui relie les deux côtés extérieurs (2b, 2c), pour permettre le passage, par exemple, d'un boulon fileté (3bb) et/ou d'un boulon fileté (3bb) qui fait saillie à partir du côté de contact (4, 5) de l'élément de fixation (1a). Une surface de contact (12) plane qui est interrompue par des dépressions (7) et définit un plan de contact (2d) est formée sur le côté de contact (4, 5) du corps de contact (2a), ladite surface de contact (12) délimitant le corps de contact (2a) dans la zone de la surface de côté (40), de sorte que le corps de contact (2a) ne fait pas saillie au-delà de la surface de côté (40) dans la région de cette dernière. Une proportion surfacique (40a) de la surface de contact (12) qui est disposée dans le plan de contact (2d) sur la surface de côté (40) est supérieure à une proportion surfacique (40b) des dépressions (7) sur la surface de côté (40).
