[0002] Screws mainly refer to cylinders with helical grooves cut on their outer surfaces or cones with conical helical grooves cut on their outer surfaces. The former, cylindrical screws, are currently the most commonly used and closest to everyday life screw types.
[0003] However, these types of screws have a relatively short service life, generally around 11 months, and need to be replaced frequently, increasing the number of maintenance operations and thus raising maintenance costs.

[0049] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0050] In this embodiment
[0051] Please refer to the following: Figures 1-3In the first embodiment of the present invention, the fully hardened screw includes: a screw 1, which includes a shank 101, a feed section 102, a compression section 103, and a discharge section 104. The entire shank 101, feed section 102, compression section 103, and discharge section 104 are made of WR650 material, a thermoplastic composite material that can withstand various high-temperature and corrosive environments, exhibiting strong overall performance. Furthermore, according to actual production needs, the screw 1 can be manufactured in gradient, general-purpose, and abrupt shapes. The feed section 102 is fixedly installed at one end of the shank 101, and this section represents a general proportional dimension in the screw 1. The compression section 103 is fixedly installed at one end of the feed section 102, and the discharge section 104 is fixedly installed at the other end of the compression section 103. The diameter of the discharge section 104 is larger than the diameter of the feed section 102, thus enabling… The portion of the screw 1 furthest from the shank 101 is thickened, reducing the impact of deflection on the entire screw 1 and thus improving its service life. Furthermore, the diameter of the end face of the compression section 103 that contacts the feed section 102 is the same as the diameter of the feed section 102, and the diameter of the end face of the compression section 103 that contacts the discharge section 104 is the same as the diameter of the discharge section 104. This makes the compression section 103 a frustum-shaped cone with a gradual transition, thereby progressively reducing the extrusion stress on the screw 1 during rotation, further improving the wear resistance and service life of the screw 1. Moreover, the maximum outer diameter of the threads on the feed section 102, compression section 103, and discharge section 104 is the same; only the inner diameter of the threads varies with the different sections. This ensures that the screw 1 can be smoothly screwed into the corresponding threaded hole.
[0052] In order to connect the screw 1 to the external object, a countersunk hole 2 is provided at one end of the discharge section 104, and a threaded groove 3 is provided in the countersunk hole 2, which is used to screw the screw 1 to the external object.
[0053] The working principle of the fully hardened screw provided by this invention is as follows:
[0054] In actual use, the discharge section 104 on the screw 1 first enters the threaded hole, and then with continuous rotation, the compression section 103 begins to enter the threaded hole, eventually causing the feed section 102 to also be screwed into the threaded hole. During the back-and-forth rotation of the screw 1, the size advantage of the compression section 103 and the discharge section 104 increases the service life of the screw 1.
[0055] Compared with related technologies, the fully hardened screw provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0056] By utilizing the conical shape of the compression section 103 and the larger diameter of the discharge section 104, the overall service life of the screw 1 is increased from 11 months to 16 months.
