Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automobile fasteners, and more specifically, particularly relates to a pressure rivet nut. Background Art
[0002] In the automotive field, fasteners usually play an auxiliary role in the connection of other parts and are used in conjunction with bolts, such as the connection between the splash pad and the car body, the connection between the rear floor cover and the floor frame, and the connection between the bracket and the car body. Fasteners are widely used in the automotive field, and a large number of fasteners are used in the rear floor area, side area, front cabin area, etc. In addition, fasteners are also used to fix components such as automobile engines and transmissions.
[0003] However, traditional fasteners such as nuts and bolts have some problems during use. For example, in automobiles, fastener connections often need to withstand various external excitations and impacts, such as vibration, impact, temperature changes, etc. These factors may cause the bolt connection to loosen, break or fail, thereby affecting the reliability and safety of the machinery or equipment. In particular, when the fastener is subjected to axial impact, it may directly cause damage to the fastening part and the component to be installed. Utility Model Content

[0026] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.
[0027] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or indirectly on the other element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or indirectly connected to the other element.
[0028] It should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.
[0029] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a self-clinching nut provided in an embodiment of the present application includes:
[0031] Head 1;
[0032] The fastening part 2 is integrally formed and connected to the lower part of the head 1 ; a plurality of vertically arranged threads 21 are provided at the upper end of the fastening part 2 ; a buffer component 22 is also provided at the upper end of the fastening part 2 .
[0033] The utility model provides a self-clinching nut. Compared with the prior art, the utility model is provided with a buffer component 22, which can effectively absorb axial impact and protect the fastening part 2 and the component to be installed 3 from damage.
[0034] In another embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 As shown, the fastening portion 2 is provided with a through hole 23 penetrating into the fastening portion 2 .
[0035] In another embodiment of the present application, Figure 1As shown, the buffer assembly 22 includes a plurality of circumferential buffer members 221 , and all buffer members 221 are circumferentially arranged at equal intervals at the junction of the upper end of the fastening portion 2 and the head 1 .
[0036] In another embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, each buffer member 221 includes a fixing portion 221a for fixing the fastening portion 2, a supporting portion 221b and a fitting portion 221c for fitting to the hole wall of the to-be-installed hole (ie, the hole opened on the to-be-installed component 3).
[0037] In another embodiment of the present application, the fixing portion 221a is a frame-shaped structure, an arc-shaped panel structure or a strip-shaped structure. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the fixing portion 221a is an arc-shaped panel structure, and the arc-shaped panel structure makes the arc surface of the fixing portion 221a face the fitting portion 221c, so that the force from the fitting portion 221c avoids affecting the supporting portion 221b. Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the fixing part 221a is a frame-type structure, which can achieve the purpose of fixing on the fastening part 2 by reducing the material while having a certain bearing capacity and buffering axial energy.
[0038] In another embodiment of the present application, the support portion 221b is a columnar, plate-shaped or grid plate structure. Figure 2 As shown in , only the support portion 221b is disclosed to be a columnar structure, and the user can change the support portion 221b into any conventional structure such as a plate shape or a grid plate structure according to actual needs.
[0039] In another embodiment of the present application, the fitting portion 221c is a conical panel structure. The design of the conical panel structure can ensure that the two surfaces can be in close contact during the fitting process, reduce air gaps, and improve fitting accuracy. Preferably, the conical panel is provided with grid-shaped hollow holes, which can achieve the purpose of fitting and supporting the component 3 to be installed while reducing the weight of the fitting portion 221c.
[0040] In another embodiment of the present application, Figure 5 As shown, the bottom of the through hole 23 is provided with an internal thread 231. By providing the internal thread 231 in the through hole 23, the user allows the mounting member 4 (such as a special riveting tool, etc.) to rotate the internal thread 231, thereby deforming a part of the fastening portion 2 to form a deformation zone 2a that fits the inner wall of the component 3 to be installed. In addition, since a sealant is applied between each two buffer members 221, when the fastening portion 2 and the component 3 to be installed are fixed, the sealant will be formed and solidified, further playing a sealing role, and preventing the leakage of gas, liquid or other substances.
[0041] In another embodiment of the present application, Figure 3As shown, the fastening portion 2 is provided with a marking line 2b of the deformation zone 2a on the internal thread 231 .
[0042] In another embodiment of the present application, a plurality of step portions for matching with the mounting parts are provided in the through hole 23 .
[0043] It is understood that the present invention is described by some embodiments, and those skilled in the art are aware that various changes or equivalent substitutions may be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. In addition, under the teachings of the present invention, these features and embodiments may be modified to adapt to specific circumstances and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
