Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fasteners, in particular to a quick-install flow drill screw. Background Art

[0002] Flow drill screws are quick-install self-tapping screws made of steel with galvanized and passivated surface. They are mostly used to connect thin metal plates. When connecting, first make a bottom hole for the workpiece to be connected, and then screw the self-tapping screw into the threaded bottom hole of the connected part. The threaded part of the self-tapping screw acts as a tap to cut out the thread connected to itself.

[0003] Among them, patent No. CN2024204545711 discloses a new type of flow drill screw, including a screw body, on which a nut part, a threaded part, a positioning part and a pointed cone part are sequentially distributed from top to bottom. However, in the actual installation process, when the bottom hole diameter is slightly smaller than the positioning part, the pointed cone part is required to expand the hole. Since the pointed cone part is a traditional cone shape, when expanding the hole, the contact area between the side of the pointed cone part and the bottom hole is large, and the nut part needs to be knocked hard, which is more laborious during installation and seriously affects the installation efficiency of the workpiece. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the background technology, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is a quick-install flow drill screw, including a screw body, and the screw body is provided with a nut portion, a threaded portion, a positioning portion, a pyramid portion and a centering portion in sequence from top to bottom along the axial direction of the screw body. The cross-section of the positioning portion is approximately an arc triangle, and the cross-section of the pyramid portion is a similar figure to the cross-section of the positioning portion. The pyramid portion is provided with side edges distributed in a circular pattern, and a first conical surface and a second conical surface are distributed at intervals through the side edges. In the same cross-section of the pyramid portion, the maximum distance from the first conical surface to the axis is less than the maximum distance from the second conical surface to the axis.

[0005] By adopting the above technical scheme, the utility model is mainly used for installing aluminum workpieces. The screw head of the screw body adopts a pyramidal part with a cross section that is approximately an arc triangle, thereby replacing the traditional conical head. During the installation process, the screw body is inserted into the bottom hole of the workpiece through the pyramidal part. When the nut part is struck and the hole is expanded, only the second conical surface abuts against the hole wall of the bottom hole, thereby reducing the contact area during expansion and reducing the resistance during expansion. The pneumatic / electric screwdriver is rotated in the bottom hole through the positioning part to complete the expansion, and the threaded part self-taps the thread until it is locked, thereby achieving quick installation and saving more effort during installation.

[0006] The utility model is further configured that the pyramid portion is provided with six groups of side edges, and three groups of the first conical surfaces and the second conical surfaces are distributed at intervals through the side edges, the side edges are inclined to the axis, and the angle a between the side edges and the axis is 10° to 15°, preferably 12.1°.

[0007] Furthermore, the first conical surface is provided with arc a and arc b at the upper and lower ends of the side edge line respectively, the arc length of arc a is greater than the arc length of arc b, the second conical surface is provided with arc c and arc d tangently connected to arc a and arc b, the arc length of arc c is greater than the arc length of arc d, and the cross-section of the positioning portion is an approximate arc triangle composed of arc a and arc c.

[0008] The above technical solution is adopted, in which the maximum distances between arcs a and b and the axis are 2.21 mm and 0.39 mm respectively, and the maximum distances between arcs c and d and the axis are 2.27 mm and 0.40 mm respectively, so that in the same cross-section of the pyramid part, the maximum distance from the first conical surface to the axis is always smaller than the maximum distance from the second conical surface to the axis, so that during the installation of the screw body, the second conical surface contacts the bottom hole of the workpiece preferentially.

[0009] The utility model is further configured that the positioning portion is provided with a thread groove matching the threaded portion.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, a transition structure similar to the top of a tap is adopted between the thread groove and the threaded portion to improve the tapping efficiency.

[0011] The utility model is further configured that a support ring is provided at the bottom of the nut portion, and a receiving groove is formed between the threaded portion and the support ring.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, during the installation process of the screw body, the bottom hole surface of the workpiece will be deformed and a bump will be formed. The receiving groove of the nut part is used to accommodate the bump, so that the support ring can abut against the surface of the workpiece, with a strong locking effect.

[0013] The utility model is further configured that the nut portion is provided with a hexagonal head for an externally connected spanner.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the nut part has an anti-theft effect through the hexagonal head, and the top surface of the hexagonal head is flat, which is used to knock the nut part when positioning the screw body. The overall structural design is reasonable and easy to process and produce.

[0015] The utility model is further configured such that the centering portion is in a cone shape as a whole.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the centering portion is in a stable conical shape, and can be used to drill a hole before drilling a bottom hole in a workpiece before installing the screw body.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0018] When striking the nut and expanding the hole, only the second conical surface abuts against the hole wall of the bottom hole, reducing the contact area and resistance during hole expansion. The pneumatic / electric screwdriver rotates in the bottom hole through the positioning part to complete the hole expansion, and the threaded part self-taps the threads until they are locked, thereby achieving quick installation and saving effort during installation.
