[0022] To better understand the technical content of this utility model, specific embodiments are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Various aspects of this utility model are described in this disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate numerous illustrative embodiments. The embodiments of this disclosure are not necessarily defined to include all aspects of this utility model. It should be understood that the various concepts and embodiments described above, as well as those described in more detail below, can be implemented in any of many ways, because the concepts and embodiments disclosed in this utility model are not limited to any particular implementation. Furthermore, some aspects of this utility model can be used alone or in any suitable combination with other aspects disclosed in this utility model.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] like Figure 1-5 The first embodiment of this utility model is shown, which provides an alloy fastening screw for automotive interiors, including a head assembly 100, including an umbrella-shaped head 110, a cross groove 120 and a flat notch 130 for adapting to different installation tools, and a round hole 140 opened at the bottom of the umbrella-shaped head 110; a screw assembly 200, including a lead screw 210, a thread 220 located at the lower end of the lead screw 210, and a lubricating coating 230 located on the surface of the thread 220; the screw assembly 200 is made of an aluminum alloy substrate with a composite chromium plating layer and a nickel plating layer on the surface; and a gasket assembly 300, including an anti-slip pad 310 for increasing the contact area, a rubber pad 320 for buffering the contact pressure between the head assembly 100 and the anti-slip pad 310, a mounting groove 330 and a sleeve 340 for mounting the rubber pad 320, and an anti-slip texture 350 for improving friction; and the gasket assembly 300 is sleeved on the upper end of the surface of the lead screw 210.

[0025] like Figure 1-5As shown, the Phillips head recess 120 and flat notch 130 in the head assembly 100 are adaptable to different installation tools, ensuring that the screws can be tightened accurately and securely during installation. The Phillips head recess 120 is adapted to a Phillips head screwdriver, and the flat notch 130 is adapted to a wrench. The screw assembly 200 uses an aluminum alloy base with a composite chrome plating layer and a nickel plating layer on the surface. Aluminum alloy is lightweight and has high strength. The chrome plating layer and nickel plating layer not only improve the corrosion resistance of the screw and prevent the screw from being damaged by rust during long-term use, but also enhance the hardness and wear resistance of the screw. This allows the screw to better resist friction and wear when in contact with the metal frame and interior parts, reducing dimensional changes caused by friction and thus reducing the possibility of increased clearance. The lubricating coating 230 on the surface of the thread 220 is a disulfide-based spray coating. The lubricating coating 230 can reduce the resistance when screwing in, making installation easier. On the one hand, during long-term vehicle use, the anti-slip pad 310 can continuously lubricate, reduce the friction between the screws and interior trim parts and the metal frame, reduce frictional losses caused by vibration, and thus slow down the rate of gap increase. The anti-slip pad 310 can increase the contact area between the screws and interior trim parts, disperse pressure, and reduce wear caused by excessive local pressure. The anti-slip texture 350 on the surfaces of both the anti-slip pad 310 and the rubber pad 320 can improve friction, further prevent the screws from rotating or shifting during vibration, and effectively prevent the screws from loosening. The rubber pad 320 is installed in the mounting groove 330, and its function is to buffer the contact pressure between the head assembly 100 and the anti-slip pad 310. When the vehicle vibrates during driving, the rubber pad 320 can absorb some vibration energy, reduce the hard collision and friction between the screws and interior trim parts, and reduce the loosening of screws and abnormal noise caused by vibration.

[0026] Example 2

[0027] Reference Figure 1-4 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.

[0028] In this embodiment, a cross groove 120 is formed on the top of the umbrella-shaped head 110, and a planar notch 130 is formed around the surface of the umbrella-shaped head 110.

[0029] The thread 220 is formed at the lower end of the surface of the lead screw 210, and the lubricating coating 230 is a disulfide-based coating sprayed onto the surface of the thread 220.

[0030] The mounting groove 330 is formed on the top of the anti-slip pad 310. One end of the rod sleeve 340 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 330, and the other end of the rod sleeve 340 extends into the inner cavity of the round hole 140 and is movably connected to the inner cavity of the round hole 140.

[0031] The rubber pad 320 is fixed in the inner cavity of the mounting groove 330, and anti-slip textures 350 are formed on the surface of both the rubber pad 320 and the anti-slip pad 310.

[0032] One end of the lead screw 210 passes through the sleeve 340 and extends into the inner cavity of the round hole 140, and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the round hole 140.

[0033] The thickness of the composite chromium plating layer is 5-8 μm, and the thickness of the nickel plating layer is 3-5 μm.

[0034] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a cross-shaped groove 120 is formed on the top of the umbrella-shaped head 110, and a flat notch 130 is formed around the surface of the umbrella-shaped head 110. When installing screws, the appropriate tool can be selected based on the available tools. If a Phillips screwdriver is used, it can be inserted into the cross-shaped groove 120 for tightening. If a tool with a flat clamp is used, the screw can be rotated by clamping the flat notch 130. The screw assembly 200 has a thread 220 at the lower end of the lead screw 210. During installation, the head assembly 100 rotates, and the lead screw 210 rotates accordingly. The thread 220 engages with the threaded hole of the automotive interior mounting part to screw in the screw. The surface of the thread 220 is coated with a disulfide-based lubricating coating 230, which reduces the friction between the thread 220 and the threaded hole, making the screw screw in smoother and reducing wear on the thread 220, thus extending the screw's service life. The screw assembly 200 is made of aluminum alloy. The substrate has a composite chromium plating layer and a nickel plating layer on its surface. The thickness of the composite chromium plating layer is 5-8μm, and the thickness of the nickel plating layer is 3-5μm. The composite plating layer not only improves the corrosion resistance of the screw assembly 200 and prevents the screw from rusting and being damaged in the automotive interior environment, but also enhances its surface hardness, ensuring that the screw is not easily deformed during screwing and tightening. The washer assembly 300 is sleeved on the upper end of the surface of the lead screw 210. When the screw is screwed in to a certain extent, the bottom of the umbrella-shaped head 110 contacts the washer assembly 300. The rubber pad 320 acts as a buffer, which can reduce the contact pressure between the head assembly 100 and the anti-slip pad 310, and avoid damage to the automotive interior surface due to excessive pressure. The surfaces of the anti-slip pad 310 and the rubber pad 320 are both provided with anti-slip textures 350, which increases the friction between the washer assembly 300 and the automotive interior surface and the bottom of the umbrella-shaped head 110, preventing the screw from loosening due to vibration or other reasons during use, and ensuring the stability of the screw tightening.

[0035] In use, the cross groove 120 is formed on the top of the umbrella-shaped head 110, and the flat notch 130 is formed around the surface of the umbrella-shaped head 110. When installing screws, the appropriate tool can be selected based on the available installation tools. When rotational force is applied through the head assembly 100, the lead screw 210 rotates accordingly. The thread 220 at the lower end of the lead screw 210 engages with the threaded hole of the component being installed. Through the helical transmission principle of the thread 220, the screw is gradually screwed into the component being installed, achieving a fastening effect. During the screw screwing process, the lubricating coating 230 reduces the friction between the thread 220 and the threaded hole of the component being installed, making the screw screwing in smoother, reducing resistance during installation, and also reducing wear on the thread 220, extending the screw life. To extend the lifespan of the screw, the gasket assembly 300 is fitted onto the upper end of the screw rod 210. The anti-slip pad 310 increases the contact area with the surface of the component being installed. Both the anti-slip pad 310 and the rubber pad 320 have anti-slip textures 350 on their surfaces. These textures improve friction and prevent the screw from loosening due to vibration during use, thus enhancing the screw's tightening effect. The mounting groove 330 is located on top of the anti-slip pad 310, and the rubber pad 320 is fixed within the inner cavity of the mounting groove 330. When the screw is tightened, the rubber pad 320 can buffer the contact pressure between the flat notch 130 and the anti-slip pad 310, preventing damage to the surface of the component being installed due to excessive pressure. It also further enhances the anti-slip performance of the gasket assembly 300.
