This unique three-level step structure has the following advantages: The first step enables the screw head to pull the first locking member (such as: a seat, not shown in the figure) towards the second locking member (such as: a seat mounting base, not shown in the figure), and the screw head generates pressure on the first locking member. The second step enables the screw platform to disperse the screw fatigue, improve the mechanical strength and wear resistance, and further pull the first locking member towards the second locking member, and the screw platform generates pressure on the second locking member. The third step enables the thread to tightly lock the second locking member, and the screw tail post has the advantages of convenient installation and quick positioning (including quickly passing through the hole of the first locking member and quickly entering the hole of the second locking member), and improving the working efficiency of installing the screw. A loosening prevention mechanism is provided in the threaded area of the screw rod, effectively preventing the thread from loosening. The screw in this solution overcomes the problems that the mechanical strength, fatigue resistance, and wear resistance of common screws cannot withstand the tests of long time, long distance, bumpy roads, multiple sitting and rising of people on the seat, and swinging along with the vehicle, resulting in loosening, breakage, or damage to the seat. The mold in this solution adopts a structure in which a frustum-shaped sleeve piece wraps the mold core and the first wire piece, and the second wire piece is further wrapped in the first wire piece, forming a firm frustum-shaped female mold insert that has an interference fit with the frustum-shaped groove wall at the front end of the sleeve.
