[0035] Please see Figure 1-8 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a grounding bolt assembly for ultra-thin steel plates in automobiles, including a screw 7, a nut pair 6 threadedly installed in the middle of the screw 7, a bolt head 4 fixedly installed at the lower end of the screw 7, a nut 1 threadedly installed at the upper end of the screw 7, and a terminal 5 provided between the nut 1 and the nut pair 6;
[0036] The first expanding block 10 is fixedly installed on one side of the nut pair 6. The screw 7 is threadedly connected to the first expanding block 10. Multiple evenly distributed first ribs 11 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the first expanding block 10.
[0037] Wax injection groove 13, two wax injection grooves 13 are respectively opened on the opposite side of the nut pair 6 and the bolt head 4, and the inner wall of the two wax injection grooves 13 is fitted with a second rubber ring 9;
[0038] A protective component is installed at the other end of the nut assembly 6 to protect the entire nut assembly 6.
[0039] A hole enlarging assembly is installed at the bottom of the nut 1 and is used to enlarge the opening on the connector 5.
[0040] In this process, by rotating the nut assembly 6, the nut assembly 6 moves closer to the car body steel plate 3 along the screw 7. When the first expanding block 10 on the nut assembly 6 is aligned with the reserved hole on the car body steel plate 3 and continues to be rotated and inserted, the first rib 11 scrapes off the plating layer inside the reserved hole. At the same time, since the outer diameter of the first expanding block 10 gradually increases, the inner hole of the car body steel plate 3 expands under the action of extrusion force, so that the inner side of the reserved hole of the car body steel plate 3 is tightly attached to the first expanding block 10. Meanwhile, the plating layer on the surface of the first expanding block 10 is scraped off by the car body steel plate 3 to ensure good conductivity. By continuing to tighten the nut assembly 6, the two second rubber rings 9 are completely squeezed into the wax injection groove 13, and the sealing wax in the wax injection groove 13 is squeezed out, thereby sealing both sides of the second rubber rings 9, so that the connection between the bolt head 4, the car body steel plate 3 and the nut assembly 6 is isolated from the outer diameter. Example

In addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it also has the following technical features: the protective assembly includes a protective cover 2, which is installed between the nut 1 and the nut pair 6, and a first rubber ring 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the protective cover 2.
[0042] By tightening the nut 1, the protective cover 2 and the car body steel plate 3 will compress the first rubber ring 8, thereby sealing the connection between the protective cover 2 and the car body steel plate 3, and thus achieving further sealing protection for the nut assembly 6. Example
[0043] This embodiment provides a grounding bolt assembly for ultra-thin steel plates in automobiles. In addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it also has the following technical features: the hole-expanding assembly includes a second hole-expanding block 16, the second hole-expanding block 16 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the nut 1, and the second hole-expanding block 16 is threadedly connected to the screw 7. A plurality of evenly distributed second ribs 17 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the second hole-expanding block 16.
[0044] In this process, by tightening the nut 1, the second expanding block 16 is inserted into the opening on the connector 5. Under the squeezing and rotation of the second rib 17 and the second expanding block 16, the oxide layer at the opening of the connector 5 is scraped off, and the connector 5 and the second expanding block 16 can fit tightly together to maintain good conductivity. Example

[0046] The second rubber ring 9 has multiple evenly distributed strip grooves on its outer side wall, so that when the second rubber ring 9 is squeezed, the sealing wax at the bottom of the wax injection groove 13 will be evenly squeezed out along the strip grooves to the connection between the second rubber ring 9 and the steel plate of the car body, thereby achieving a seal. Example
[0047] This embodiment provides a grounding bolt assembly for ultra-thin steel plates in automobiles. In addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it also has the following technical features: an automobile body steel plate 3 is provided between the nut pair 6 and the bolt head 4.
[0048] The inner diameter of the reserved hole on the car body steel plate 3 is smaller than the outer diameter of the first enlarged hole block 10, so that the two can be interference-fitted to ensure good contact. Example
[0049] This embodiment provides a grounding bolt assembly for ultra-thin steel plates in automobiles. In addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it also has the following technical features: the bolt head 4 has an adapter groove 12 on the side near the nut assembly 6, and the adapter groove 12 is sleeved with the first enlarged hole block 10.
[0050] The fitting groove 12 and the first enlarged hole block 10 are connected to allow the bolt head 4 to fit closer to the nut assembly 6. Example
[0051] This embodiment provides a grounding bolt assembly for ultra-thin steel plates in automobiles. In addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it also has the following technical features: the top of the nut assembly 6 is provided with an installation groove 14, the opening end of the connector 5 passes through the protective cover 2 and is installed in the installation groove 14, and the upper end of the threaded hole of the nut assembly 6 is provided with a chamfer 15, which is sleeved with the second enlarged hole block 16.
[0052] The chamfer 15 is connected to the second enlarged hole block 16, so that the nut assembly 6 can fit closer to the nut 1, thereby clamping the connector 5.
[0053] Working principle: When it is necessary to connect the connector 5 to the car body steel plate 3, first insert one end of the screw 7 into the reserved hole in the car body steel plate 3, then press the bolt head 4 against one side of the car body steel plate 3 and use a wrench to restrict the rotation of the bolt head 4, then assemble the nut assembly 6 with the screw 7, and by rotating the nut assembly 6, make the nut assembly 6 move closer to the car body steel plate 3 along the screw 7. When the first enlarging block 10 on the nut assembly 6 is aligned with the reserved hole on the car body steel plate 3 and the rotation continues, the first... The rib 11 scrapes off the plating inside the pre-drilled hole. Simultaneously, because the outer diameter of the first expanding block 10 gradually increases, the inner hole of the car body steel plate 3 expands under the extrusion pressure, causing the inner side of the pre-drilled hole of the car body steel plate 3 to tightly adhere to the first expanding block 10. At the same time, the plating on the surface of the first expanding block 10 is scraped off by the car body steel plate 3, ensuring good conductivity. The portion of the first expanding block 10 that passes through the car body steel plate 3 is inserted into the adapter groove 12. When both second rubber rings 9 are in contact with the car body steel plate 3... By continuing to tighten the nut assembly 6, the two second rubber rings 9 are completely squeezed into the wax injection groove 13, and the sealing wax in the wax injection groove 13 is squeezed out, thereby sealing both sides of the second rubber rings 9, isolating the connection between the bolt head 4, the car body steel plate 3 and the nut assembly 6 from the outer diameter. Then, the open end of the connector 5 is inserted into the protective cover 2, and then the protective cover 2 is passed through the upper end of the screw 7, with the screw 7 passing through the open end of the connector 5. The tightening stops when the open end of the connector 5 is fully engaged with the mounting groove 14. Finally, the... The nut 1 is screwed in from the top of the screw 7. During the tightening process, the second enlarging block 16 and the second rib 17 on the nut 1 will scrape off the oxide layer and enlarge the hole at the opening of the connector 5 in the same way. By setting the chamfer 15, a space is reserved for the second enlarging block 16 to be inserted. During this process, under the pressure of the nut 1, the protective cover 2 and the car body steel plate 3 will squeeze the first rubber ring 8, so that the connection between the protective cover 2 and the car body steel plate 3 is sealed, thereby achieving further sealing protection for the nut assembly 6.
