Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of self-tapping screws, in particular to a thin plate self-tapping screw. Background Art
[0002] A self-tapping screw is a threaded fastener that self-drills a matching female thread into a pre-drilled hole in a metal or non-metallic material. Self-tapping screws are characterized by high tensile strength, a single piece, and a single-sided assembly. They are primarily used to connect thin metal sheets (steel, sawn plate, etc.). To connect, a threaded hole is first drilled into the connected parts, and then the self-tapping screw is screwed into the threaded hole. Because the threaded surface of the self-tapping screw has a high hardness (≥45HRC), it can tap the internal thread in the threaded hole of the connected parts, thus forming a connection. Currently, self-tapping screws are widely used in the machinery industry and related industries for a long time. Traditional self-tapping screws consist of a nut, a shank, and a head. Before driving the self-tapping screw, a positioning piece is usually required to locate the desired position. Then, the self-tapping screw is aligned with the positioning piece. Both the self-tapping screw and the positioning piece are required for operation. Although a few self-tapping screws have a positioning post on the head, the post is prone to breakage, affecting work efficiency.
[0003] To this end, a self-tapping screw with the announcement number "CN220622412U" includes a screw body, a nut connected to the top of the screw body, a screw head arranged below the screw body; a positioning head, arranged below the screw head, used to position the self-tapping screw; a magnet, arranged inside the nut, used to attract and position the screwdriver; an external thread, arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the screw body; and a positioning head arranged at the bottom of the screw head. The self-tapping screw aligns the top of the ridge-shaped positioning head with the center of the part to be driven into. When the screwdriver controls the positioning head and the external thread used for drilling to rotate, the positioning head first drills into the center of the part to be driven into through the cut surface to prevent the screw from being driven off-center. The external thread then enters the workpiece through the thread, allowing the positioning function to be achieved using only the screw. In addition, a magnet is embedded in the nut, which can attract the screwdriver and prevent it from slipping out of the cross slot, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0004] However, for the above-mentioned self-tapping screws, although the positioning head first drills into the center of the turning part through the cut surface when the screwdriver controls the positioning head and the external thread for drilling to rotate, thereby preventing the screw from being deflected, the following relatively obvious defects still exist during use: the above-mentioned self-tapping screws can only be screwed by using a cross and flat-head screwdriver, and cannot be screwed and fixed using a adjustable spanner, a hexagonal spanner, or a commonly used spanner. As a result, the tools used for screwing the self-tapping screws are relatively single and the scope of application of the tools is limited. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a thin plate self-tapping screw to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0015] The anti-slip teeth on the outside of the self-tapping nut are provided so that after the wrench is clamped on the self-tapping nut, the anti-slip teeth can be used to make the wrench more firmly and stably clamped when tightening the self-tapping screw, and the wrench will not be separated from the self-tapping nut, so that the self-tapping screw can be tightened on the thin plate at one time. The anti-loosening metal sheet on the bottom of the self-tapping nut drives the anti-loosening tooth surface, so that the self-tapping screw can contact with the surface of the thin plate after being screwed on it to tighten it, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of the screw falling off caused by vibration of the thin plate, and thus making the self-tapping screw locked on the thin plate more firmly and stably.
