Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of positioning pin technology, and in particular to a self-tapping positioning pin. Background Technology
[0002] Locating pins, using workpiece holes as positioning references, are parts that restrict the degrees of freedom of an object, controlling its linear motion in the X, Y, and Z axes and its rotational motion around the X, Y, and Z axes (six degrees of freedom). In molds composed of two or more parts, they are designed to accurately position adjacent parts. When a machine body is composed of multiple connected parts, and each part needs to maintain precise position during machining and assembly, locating pins should be used. For example, in a split housing consisting of a cover and a base, the machining of bearing holes requires high precision; therefore, two locating pins spaced far apart should be placed on the split surface to ensure machining and assembly accuracy. In the electronics and electrical appliance industries, the limiting connections of multi-layer circuit boards, and the positioning connections of multi-layer sheet metal in the sheet metal industry, precision positioning connections are required. A self-tapping locating pin is needed to accurately position and improve assembly efficiency, solving the aforementioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
