The invention relates to the technical field of locking devices, and discloses a bolt following rotation preventing device which comprises a sliding plate, a mounting plate and two plate sleeves. The plate sleeves are provided with sleeved connection parts, sleeve holes are formed in the sleeved connection parts, mounting holes and sliding grooves are formed in the mounting plate, the sleeved connection parts are inserted into the mounting holes, fixing pieces are inserted into the sliding grooves, the fixing pieces can slide along the sliding grooves, the fixing pieces are connected with the plate sleeves and the sliding plate, a clamping groove is formed in the sliding plate, and a limiting hole is formed in the position, corresponding to the clamping groove, of the mounting plate. A rotating shaft sequentially penetrates through the clamping groove and the limiting hole, the two ends of the rotating shaft are connected with the sliding plate and the mounting plate correspondingly, the clamping groove is provided with a limiting part and an unloading part which communicate with each other, the unloading part communicate extends towards the two sides of the limiting part, the rotating shaft is provided with an abutting connection part connected with the limiting part, the abutting connection part and the limiting part can be disconnected or connected by driving the rotating shaft to rotate, and the abutting connection part is connected in the unloading part in a sliding manner. According to the technical scheme, the bolt following rotation preventing device can avoid bolt following rotation, and the potential safety hazards that hands are pinched and people are hurt are avoided.
