Description

Anti-rust set of fasteners and how to use them

The present invention relates to a set for protecting fasteners and a method of using the same. More specifically, it relates to an anti-rust set provided on a fastener and a method of using the same.

The atmosphere is rich in oxygen and water. Oxygen will dissociate water into hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions. Contact between hydroxide ions and metals will induce metal dissociation and release electrons. Therefore, the hydroxide formed after the free metal and hydroxide ions combine with each other is the beginning of rust. Since the volume is only nanometer-scale and invisible to the naked eye, when we think that the metal surface is still gray and high-gloss without rust, in fact, the surface Already covered with nano-rust. The rod-shaped structure of hydroxide nanorust is full of holes, which will absorb moisture from the air due to capillary phenomenon. At this time, the metal surface not only has water from the air, but also has the prepared kettle filled. . Electrons continue to dissociate water, and then induce continued dissociation of metal, and rust will eventually grow to visible rust.

In our daily environment, bolts are the most widely used components for fixing and providing physical combinations on many items, and the yield of the bolts will affect the use condition and service life of the items. Common bases, shells, street lamp stands, junction boxes, etc. are all fixed with bolts. Currently, a common fixing method is to drill corresponding screw holes on the base and the items that need to be connected and fixed to the base, and then use bolts to drill the screw holes to connect the base and the items.

However, the above fixation method will expose the threads at the end of the nut or bolt. This exposed part will be exposed to the air for a long time, which will cause the exposed threads to be affected by moisture and cause the bolt to rust. The detailed mechanism is as mentioned above. , as a result, the nut is stuck on the threaded part of the bolt, making the base and the object unable to be disassembled.

On the other hand, FIG. 3 shows a schematic diagram of a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, which mainly shows a cross-sectional view when the anti-rust set of fasteners is applied to a screw fastened to a base plate. Please refer to Figures 2 and 3 for the following description. First, step (A) of the method 100 is performed: the nut portion 71 and the thread portion 73 of the screw 7 are exposed on both sides of the base plate 9 for cleaning and drying. Among them, in this specific embodiment, the fasteners are screws and the base plate is a single-layer steel plate. However, in other specific embodiments, the fasteners can be any kind of components used to fix the basic components, and the basic components can also be multiple metals. Laminates of materials, so fasteners are used to lock laminates or components of multiple metal materials together. Next, step (B) is performed: fill the first cavity 17 in the first cover 1 with the colloid 5 , and cover the first cover 1 with the screw 7 exposed to the nut portion on one side of the base plate 9 71. In another specific embodiment, the user only needs to fill the second area 173 of the first cavity 17 in the first cover 1 with the colloid 5, and then cover the first cover 1 filled with the colloid 5 with screws. 7 is exposed on the nut portion 71 on one side of the base plate 9 to save the usage of the colloid 5 .

Next, perform step (C): apply pressure on the upper end of the first body 11 to discharge the excess part of the colloid 5 . More specifically, after the first cover 1 filled with colloid 5 is covered with the exposed nut portion 71 of the screw 7, since the nut portion 71 also occupies part of the volume of the first cavity 17, the colloid will It will overflow and cause the first cover 1 not to fit the surface of the substrate 9; or when the first cover 1 filled with the colloid 5 is covered with the exposed nut portion 71 of the screw 7, due to the Due to the viscous nature, part of the air remains in the first cavity 17 . Therefore, the user can apply pressure on the closed end 111 of the first body 11. As mentioned above, since the first adsorption ring 13 is made of elastic material, the base plate 9 and the first cover The volume of the first cavity 17 formed by the body 1 will be compressed so that the pressure in the first cavity 17 is greater than the atmospheric pressure, so that excess colloid 5 or residual air is discharged. Furthermore, when the pressure applied to the closed end 111 of the first body 11 is removed, the volume of the first cavity 17 formed by the base plate 9 and the first cover 1 recovers, causing the volume in the first cavity 17 to The pressure is lower than the atmospheric pressure anyway, so that the first cover 1 is more closely attached to the substrate 9, and the colloid 5 in the first cavity 17 completely covers the nut portion 71 to form an insulating layer.

Next, step (D) is performed: fill the second cavity 37 in the second cover 3 with the colloid 5, and cover the second cover 3 with the screw 7 exposed on the other side of the base plate 9. Teeth part 73. In another specific embodiment, the user only needs to fill the second area 373 and the third area 377 of the second cavity 37 in the second cover 3 with the colloid 5, and then fill the second cover with the colloid 5. The body 3 is covered with screws 7 exposed on the threaded portion 73 on one side of the base plate 9 to save the usage of the colloid 5 .

Next, perform step (E): apply pressure on the upper end of the second body 31 to discharge the excess part of the colloid 5 . More specifically, after the second cover 3 filled with colloid 5 is covered with the exposed thread portion 73 of the screw 7, since the thread portion 73 also occupies part of the volume of the second cavity 37, the colloid will It will overflow and cause the second cover 3 not to fit the surface of the substrate 9; or when the second cover 3 filled with the colloid 5 is covered with the exposed thread portion 73 of the screw 7, due to the Due to the viscous nature, part of the air remains in the second cavity 37 . Therefore, the user can apply pressure on the closed end 311 of the second body 31. As mentioned above, since the second adsorption ring 33 is made of elastic material, the second cavity is formed by the base plate 9 and the second cover 3. The volume of 37 will be compressed so that the pressure in the second cavity 37 is greater than the atmospheric pressure, so that excess colloid 5 or residual air will be discharged. Furthermore, when the pressure applied to the closed end 311 of the second body 31 is removed, the volume of the second cavity 37 formed by the base plate 9 and the second cover 3 recovers, causing the volume in the second cavity 37 to be restored. The pressure is lower than atmospheric pressure anyway, so that the second cover 3 can fit more closely. on the base plate 9 , and the colloid 5 in the second cavity 37 completely covers the screw thread portion 73 to form an insulating layer.

FIG. 4 shows a schematic diagram of another specific embodiment of the present disclosure, which mainly shows a cross-sectional view of another application of the anti-rust set of fasteners. More specifically, FIG. 4 reveals that the fasteners fastened to the base plate 9 include screws 7 , nuts 6 , and washers 8 . In some situations, in order to prevent the screws 7 from being directly locked to the base plate 9 and directly damaging the base plate 9 , most users will use spacers 8 to separate the screws 7 , and a nut 6 will be added below the base plate 9 to increase the number of screws. 7 solid effects. As shown in the figure, the nut portion 71 of the screw 7 and the gasket 8 above the base plate 9 will be just accommodated in the second area 173 and the first area 171 of the first cavity 17 in the first cover 1 respectively. On the other hand, the thread portion 73 of the screw 7 is exposed to the lower limb of the base plate 9, the nut 6, and the gasket 8 are respectively accommodated in the third area 377 of the second cavity 37 in the second cover 3. , second area 373, first area 371. Through the method described in Figure 3, the final colloid can completely cover all the components accommodated in the first cavity 17 of the first cover 1 and all the components accommodated in the second cavity 37 of the second cover 3. The components have been completely rust-proof and protected.

The anti-rust set of fasteners disclosed in the present disclosure can effectively achieve the anti-rust effect because the first cover body 1 and the second cover body 3 are made of materials that do not react with water and air. Furthermore, this material can withstand rain and other weak acids. As mentioned above, most locks that are prone to rust and damage are exposed to various environmental factors because they are installed outdoors. Therefore, this lock set is used to prevent rust. It can effectively isolate environmental factors, and the colloid can also fully cover the fastener to achieve an isolation layer. In addition, the first cover 1 , the second cover 3 , and the solidified colloid 5 are all elastic. Therefore, when the fastener is accidentally subjected to external force, the elastic first cover 1 , the second cover 3 , The solidified colloid 5 covers and reduces the probability of deformation or damage and provides effective physical protection.

The most important thing is that even if the fastener is still rusted and it is necessary to replace it, since the first cover 1, the second cover 3, and the cured colloid 5 are translucent, they are easy to observe and can be replaced early. Compared with Compared with other traditional protection methods, it is not easy to directly observe whether the screw is rusted. Moreover, the first cover 1, the second cover 3, and the cured colloid 5 are also easy to disassemble and remove, making it convenient for the user to replace the fastener with a new one and cover it again.
