[0002] Screws are known as the "rice of industry" due to their wide applicability in various fields such as construction, machinery, and chemicals. Furthermore, there are many types of screws, such as ordinary screws and self-tapping screws. These screws are prone to repeated removal and need to be re-secured during use: 1) The material of the fastener is soft, and the gripping force between the screw and the fastener is weak, making it easy for the screw to come loose entirely; 2) Multiple drilling during installation causes the fastener to loosen internally, and the screw gradually comes loose under external force after installation.

[0003] When a screw is removed from a screw hole and then re-secured, it can easily damage the threads inside the fastener, affecting the securing effect between the screw and the fastener. In severe cases, it can cause the threads to strip, preventing the screw from securing the fastener. Therefore, existing fastening screws still have certain shortcomings in use.

[0004] In conclusion, it is necessary to invent an expansion screw with internal and external threads. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides an internal and external thread expansion screw to solve the problem that when a screw is removed from the threaded hole and then re-fixed, it is easy to damage the threads inside the fastener, which affects the fixing effect between the screw and the fastener. In severe cases, it can cause the threaded hole to strip, resulting in the screw being unable to fix the fastener.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0023] See attached document Figures 1-5 This utility model provides an expansion screw with internal and external threads, including an external screw 100. The inner wall of the external screw 100 has a mounting hole for installing a pin 400 inside. A hexagonal collet 200 is integrally fixed to the top of the outer wall of the external screw 100. The top of the outer wall of the hexagonal collet 200 has a groove, the bottom of which communicates with the top of the mounting hole. The hexagonal collet 200 is designed to facilitate tightening of the external screw 100 by means of a wrench or other tools. The inner wall of the mounting hole has the pin 400, and the upper end of the outer wall of the pin 400 has an external thread layer 41. 0. The inner wall of the mounting hole and the position corresponding to the external thread layer 410 are provided with internal threads for connection. The pin 400 is fixed to the inner wall of the mounting hole through the external thread layer 410 and the internal threads. The top of the outer wall of the pin 400 is integrally fixed with an inner head 420. The outer wall of the inner head 420 contacts the inner wall of the groove. The top of the outer wall of the inner head 420 is provided with a cross groove. The pin 400 is provided to cooperate with the self-tapping head 300 to strengthen the fixing effect between the external screw 100 and the threaded hole on the fastener. The inner head 420 and the cross groove are provided to facilitate the personnel to fix the pin 400 in the mounting hole.

[0024] A self-tapping head 300 is integrally fixed to the bottom of the outer wall of the external screw 100. A tightening component is provided at the top of the outer wall of the self-tapping head 300 and at the bottom of the inner wall of the mounting hole. The tightening component includes a bearing block 430, which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting hole and located below the pin 400. The bearing block 430 can support the bottom of the outer wall of the pin 400. A fixing block 440 is provided below the bearing block 430 and on the inner wall of the mounting hole. A locking tooth is integrally fixed to the top of the outer wall of the self-tapping head 300. Multiple locking teeth are evenly arranged in a ring array. The strength of the locking teeth needs to be greater than the strength of the fastener. The locking teeth are arranged in a way that is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. This is mainly to ensure that when the bearing block 430 moves downward, the reinforcing block 310 can lock it in place. The outer edge of the teeth expands outward to improve the fixing effect between the outer screw 100 and the inner wall of the mounting hole. The upper end of the inner wall of the locking teeth is fixed with a reinforcing block 310. The other end of the reinforcing block 310 passes through the inner wall of the mounting hole and is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing block 440. The bottom end of the outer wall of the outer screw 100 and the position corresponding to the reinforcing block 310 are provided with a relief groove. The outer wall of the reinforcing block 310 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the relief groove. The reinforcing block 310 is designed to press down on the connecting end of the locking teeth when the pressure block 430 drives the fixing block 440 to move downward, so that it can bend outward and abut against the inner wall of the mounting hole. The locking teeth are normally smaller than the diameter of the thread end of the outer screw 100.

[0025] A wedge-shaped post 431 is fixed to the bottom of the outer wall of the pressure block 430. The bottom end of the wedge-shaped post 431 is fixed to the top of the outer surface of the fixing block 440. The pressure block 430 is designed to be wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. A wedge-shaped clamping plate 450 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting hole and the outer side of the wedge-shaped post 431 through an insertion hole. One end of the wedge-shaped clamping plate 450 with the mounting hole is slidably connected to the outer wall of the wedge-shaped post 431, and the insertion end of the wedge-shaped clamping plate 450 is connected to the wedge-shaped post 431. The outer wall side abuts against the wedge. When the wedge post 431 moves downward, the wedge plate 450 can extend outward, so that the outer wall of the wedge plate 450 abuts against the inner wall of the threaded hole. During normal use, the wedge plate 450 can be fixed to the inner wall of the insertion hole through the thermoplastic point. When the insertion pin 400 is not installed, the wedge plate 450 can be retracted into the insertion hole and is smaller than the diameter of the threaded end, so as to avoid the wedge plate 450 affecting the rotation of the outer screw 100 by the personnel.

[0026] The usage process of this utility model is as follows: Those skilled in the art can assemble the device according to the above description. Then, the personnel can use tools such as wrenches to rotate the outer screw 100 and the self-tapping head 300 into the through hole opened in the fastener. When the self-tapping head 300 is rotated, it can open the internal thread on the inner wall of the through hole, so that the outer wall of the outer screw 100 can be threadedly connected with the threaded hole.

[0027] After the external screw 100 is initially fixed to the threaded hole, the operator can remove the insert pin 400 and insert it into the mounting hole inside the external screw 100. The insert pin 400 is then rotated using a screwdriver and an inner head 420, causing the external thread layer 410 to be threadedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting hole. The insert pin 400 moves downward in the mounting hole and presses against the bearing block 430 from the top, causing it to press the wedge-shaped column 431 and the fixing block 440 downward. When the fixing block 440 moves downward, the reinforcing abutment 310 presses against the upper end of the clamping tooth, causing it to bend and extend outward. This allows the outer wall of the clamping tooth to abut against the inner wall of the threaded hole. The operator must ensure that the structural strength of the reinforcing abutment 310 is greater than the structural strength of the clamping tooth.

[0028] At the same time, when the wedge post 431 moves, it will press outward against the wedge plate 450, causing the thermoplastic point of the fixed wedge plate 450 to break, and pressing the wedge plate 450 against the inner wall of the threaded hole, thereby strengthening the fixing effect of the external screw 100 and the threaded hole.

[0029] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art may modify this utility model or modify it into an equivalent technical solution using the technical solutions described above. Therefore, any simple modifications or equivalent substitutions made based on the technical solutions of this utility model are within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
