Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of screw technology, specifically a cut-off self-tapping screw. Background Technology

[0002] Self-tapping screws are fasteners that do not require pre-drilling and can directly tap the material to form threads. The threads of self-tapping screws are sharp and have a wide pitch, which can cut internal threads when drilling into the material, achieving self-tapping and self-tightening.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN 201037494 Y discloses an anti-loosening self-tapping screw that can prevent itself from reversing and loosening. It includes a screw head, a screw shank, and a tail tip. An anti-loosening structure is provided on the bottom surface of the screw head at the root of the screw shank. This anti-loosening structure consists of stepped protrusions radiating outwards from the screw shank, or it can be a rack-like protrusion. The anti-loosening structure of a flanged self-tapping screw is provided on the bottom surface of the flange at the root of the screw shank. After the self-tapping screws are tightened, the anti-loosening structure increases the frictional resistance between the screws and the target object, preventing the screws from loosening. However, when applied to the installation of automotive parts, especially when installing and fixing components such as the center console, interior trim panels, and seat accessories, the required screw length varies due to differences in the interior structure and thickness of modified parts in different car models. Since the length of the self-tapping screws is fixed, they can only be used with automotive parts that match the length of the screws, thus limiting their applicability. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cut-off self-tapping screw, in which both the external and internal screws are designed to be cut off, allowing for the cutting of external and internal screws to the appropriate length according to different specifications of automotive parts, thereby solving the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

The end of the inner rod 21 away from the nut 3 is integrally provided with a connecting cap 23, and the middle of the side of the connecting cap 23 away from the inner rod 21 is provided with an internal hexagonal groove 25.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting cut-off structures for both the outer screw 1 and the inner screw 2, the corresponding lengths of the outer screw 1 and the inner screw 2 can be flexibly cut according to the needs of different specifications of automotive parts. When installing automotive center console panels, interior trim panels, seat accessories and other components, the screw length can be easily adjusted according to the differences in the interior structure and thickness of modified parts of different models, which greatly improves the applicability of self-tapping screws. The design of the outer cut-off groove 13 and the inner cut-off groove 22 makes the cutting operation easier and more precise, ensuring that the cut screw can still maintain good connection performance.

[0026] In this embodiment, all of the aforementioned outer cut-off grooves 13 are annular, and all of the outer cut-off grooves 13 are coaxially arranged with the outer rod 11; the inner diameter of the multiple outer cut-off grooves 13 is larger than the diameter of the through hole 16. The mounting groove 15 has the same shape as the nut 3, and the nut 3 has a threaded hole in the middle for threaded connection with thread 24.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the anti-slip texture 17 increases the friction between the connecting cap 14 and the surface of the automotive parts, thereby preventing the outer screw 1 from loosening. At the same time, the inner rod 21 is located in the through hole 16 and the diameter of the through hole 16 is larger than the diameter of the inner rod 21, ensuring the flexibility and stability of the inner screw 2 during installation and use, so that the entire self-tapping screw can play a good fastening role in different scenarios.

[0028] In this embodiment, the length of the inner rod 21 is the same as the sum of the lengths of the outer rod 11 and the connecting cap 14. The inner rod 21 is located in the through hole 16, and the diameter of the through hole 16 is larger than the diameter of the inner rod 21. The connecting cap 14 is provided with a plurality of anti-slip textures 17 evenly distributed on the side near the outer cut-off groove 13, covering the side of the connecting cap 14. All of the aforementioned inner cut-off grooves 22 are annular in shape, and all of the inner cut-off grooves 22 are coaxially arranged with the inner rod 21.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, after the inner rod 21 is threadedly connected to the nut 3 through the second thread 24, the second connecting cap 23 and the first connecting cap 14 can clamp the automotive parts that need to be fixed, which can improve the stability of the automotive parts after installation. In addition, the tightened inner rod 21 can further improve the adhesion between the first connecting cap 14 and the surface of the automotive parts, thereby improving the stability of the outer screw 1 and preventing the outer screw 1 from loosening. Moreover, the mounting groove 15 has the same shape as the nut 3, so that the first connecting cap 14 can prevent the nut 3 from loosening, thereby preventing the inner screw 2 from loosening.

[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: By setting a cut-off structure for both the outer screw 1 and the inner screw 2, the corresponding length of the outer screw 1 and the inner screw 2 can be flexibly cut according to the needs of different specifications of automotive parts. When installing automotive center console panels, interior trim panels, seat accessories and other parts, the screw length can be easily adjusted according to the thickness differences of the interior structure and modified parts of different models, which greatly improves the applicability of self-tapping screws; the design of the outer cut-off groove 13 and the inner cut-off groove 22 makes the cutting operation easier and more precise, ensuring that the cut screw can still maintain good connection performance. The anti-slip texture 17 increases the friction between the connecting cap 14 and the surface of the automotive parts, thereby preventing the outer screw 1 from loosening. At the same time, the inner rod 21 is located in the through hole 16 and the diameter of the through hole 16 is larger than the diameter of the inner rod 21, ensuring the flexibility and stability of the inner screw 2 during installation and use, so that the entire self-tapping screw can play a good fastening role in different scenarios. After the inner rod 21 is threaded to the nut 3 via the second thread 24, the second connecting nut 23 and the first connecting nut 14 can clamp the automotive parts that need to be fixed, which can improve the stability of the automotive parts after installation. In addition, the tightened inner rod 21 can further improve the adhesion between the first connecting nut 14 and the surface of the automotive parts, thereby improving the stability of the outer screw 1 and preventing the outer screw 1 from loosening. Moreover, the mounting groove 15 has the same shape as the nut 3, so the first connecting nut 14 can prevent the nut 3 from loosening, thereby preventing the inner screw 2 from loosening.
