Screw Jack Self-Locking Behavior

Description

A square-threaded screw jack can hold a heavy load because of its self-locking behavior. This feature makes the device more reliable when it is used to lift large weights or apply a strong force. If the screw keeps its position after the turning moment is removed, the jack is self-locking.

考虑一个承受载荷的方牙螺纹千斤顶。如果在去除转矩后螺纹仍能保持其位置不变,则称为自锁。

当摩擦力方向反转且反作用力作用于螺纹法线的另一侧时,就会发生这种情况。

此处,静摩擦角可以大于或等于导程角。

要使自锁螺钉向下旋转,必须对螺钉施加一个相反方向的力矩。通过应用力的平衡方程,可以确定该力矩的大小。

如果两个角度相等,反作用力将垂直作用,使载荷达到平衡,此时螺钉处于即将向下旋动的临界状态。

如果摩擦角小于导程角,则螺杆不具备自锁性,需施加反向力矩以阻止螺杆向下旋动。

这一力矩产生一个水平方向的力,可防止螺纹在斜面上滑动。根据受力分析图,可确定该力矩的大小。
