Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Hot melt self-tapping screw: A type of threaded self-tapping screw that, with a certain force and speed, can melt and penetrate two or more layers of board material and form threads by self-tapping under special installation equipment. As the self-tapping screw body is screwed in, an effective connection between the boards can be formed.

[0003] In the existing technology, the head of the thermoplastic self-tapping screw is usually round, which has a low efficiency in generating heat during rotation, resulting in a relatively slow melting of the board material; in addition, the existing threads are generally normal round threads, which have the disadvantage that the connection formed after the self-tapping screw is drilled into the board material is not strong enough and is prone to loosening after vibration. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model proposes a thermoplastic self-tapping screw.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, the present invention adopts the following solution: A thermoplastic self-tapping screw includes a shank, a head connected to one end of the shank, a head connected to the other end of the shank, and threads on the shank. The head gradually tapers to a pointed end away from the nail rod, and the outer contour of the head around its circumference is polygonal. The outer contour of the nail bar around its circumference is a polygonal shape corresponding to the head. The outer contour of the thread is a polygonal shape corresponding to the head.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the polygonal outline of the head, push rod, and thread is one of a triangle, a quadrilateral, a pentagon, or a hexagon.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the head includes a straight portion connected to the nail rod and a pointed portion connected to the other end of the straight portion. The outer contour dimension of the straight portion remains unchanged, while the outer contour dimension of the pointed portion gradually decreases. The outer contour of the portion of the nail rod near the head gradually decreases until it matches the straight portion.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the polygon is an equilateral polygon.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the end of the nail head that connects to the nail rod is recessed with a groove, and the nail rod extends into the groove to connect with the nail head.

[0010] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects are: 1. The cross-section of the head is set as a polygon. This structure can quickly heat up when connected to the plate under high-speed rotation, causing the plate to melt quickly and quickly penetrate the plate. 2. The thread is set as a polygon, which makes the thread and the plate form a very tight connection, which can effectively resist bolt loosening caused by vibration. Attached Figure Description

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0016] A thermoplastic self-tapping screw includes a shank 20, a head 10 connected to one end of the shank 20, a head 40 connected to the other end of the shank 20, and a thread 30 on the shank 20; the head 10, shank 20, thread 30, and head 40 are usually integrally formed, which is the prior art.

[0017] The head 40 gradually tapers to a pointed end away from the shank 20, and the outer contour of the head 40 around its circumference is polygonal; the outer contour of the shank 20 around its circumference is polygonal corresponding to the head 40; the outer contour of the thread 30 is polygonal corresponding to the head 40.

[0018] The polygonal design creates multiple edges on the surface of the head 40. During self-tapping, these edges scrape against the board, increasing friction between the head 40 and the board. High-speed rotation and connection with the board generate rapid heat, melting the board quickly and allowing for rapid penetration, thus improving self-tapping efficiency. Similarly, the polygonal design of the shank 20 also creates multiple edges on its surface. Even after the shank 20 penetrates the board, it continues to scrape against the board, ensuring efficient penetration of the self-tapping screw throughout the process. Furthermore, the polygonal design of the thread 30 creates a very tight connection between the thread 30 and the board, effectively resisting bolt loosening caused by vibration.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the polygonal outline of the head 40, the push rod, and the thread 30 is one of a triangle, a quadrilateral, a pentagon, or a hexagon.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, the head 40 includes a straight portion 401 connected to the nail rod 20 and a pointed portion 402 connected to the other end of the straight portion 401. The outer contour dimension of the straight portion 401 remains unchanged, while the outer contour dimension of the pointed portion 402 gradually decreases. The outer contour of the portion of the nail rod 20 near the head 40 gradually decreases until it matches the straight portion 401.

[0021] In the prior art, the outer contour dimension of the nail rod 20 gradually decreases to the tip, while in this utility model, a straight part 401 with an unchanged outer contour is provided. Thus, when the self-tapping screw is running at high speed, compared with a direct inclined surface to the bottom, it can generate potential energy during operation and have an impact force, which is more conducive to the self-tapping screw penetrating the board.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the polygon is an equilateral polygon.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the end of the nail head 10 connected to the nail rod 20 is recessed with a groove 101, and the nail rod 20 extends into the groove 101 to connect with the nail head 10.

[0024] The groove 101 can accommodate the material that flows out after the sheet melts and is squeezed by the self-tapping screw.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the utility model product is in use, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly understood by those skilled in the art. They are only used to facilitate the description of this utility model and simplify the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0026] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.
