Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of self - tapping screws, and particularly relates to a new type of self - tapping screw. Background Art
[0002] Self - tapping screws are generally pointed, coarse - threaded, and relatively hard wood screws. There are also those made of aluminum alloy and plastic. A special self - tapping screw used for threading metal holes is called a tap. Self - tapping screws are used for non - metals or softer metals without pre - drilling holes and tapping. Self - tapping screws are pointed so that they can "self - tap". Ordinary screws are flat - headed and of uniform thickness. Self - tapping screws mean that the drilled holes do not require tapping. The screws used are different from ordinary ones. The head is pointed and the thread pitch is relatively large, which is a bit like a non - chipping tap. It can be screwed in directly without tapping. Metals and plastics usually use this method. It can, on the material to be consolidated, rely on its own threads to "drill, squeeze, and press" corresponding threads on the object to be consolidated, so that they fit tightly with each other. However, when the currently used self - tapping screws are placed in the external environment for a long time, dirt is likely to accumulate inside the cross - slot. During the disassembly and assembly process, the screwdriver cannot be effectively clamped inside the cross - slot, resulting in a decrease in disassembly efficiency and an unappealing appearance.
