ON THE ANTI-LOOSENING PRINCIPLE AND TECHNO-ECONOMIC ADVANTAGES OF THE TAIJING NUT: A HIGH-RELIABILITY, LOW-COST STRUCTURAL ANTI-LOOSENING SOLUTION
Abstract: Loosening of threaded fasteners is a persistent challenge in the mechanical industry. Traditional anti-loosening methods, such as spring washers, double nuts, and thread-locking adhesives, often suffer from insufficient reliability or introduce additional cost and assembly complexity. The Taijing Nut proposes a fundamental solution. Based on the mechanical principle that "bolt pitch inevitably increases during tightening," it features an innovative design where its internal pitch gradually increases from the top downwards. This structure ensures even load distribution across all thread teeth during tightening, thereby eliminating the root causes of plastic deformation and microscopic slip, and achieving true structural anti-loosening.
