PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE 10 Fasteners are mechanical components used to hold different parts together. Widely used in many industrial sectors, particularly in the automotive and construction industries. They are used. The connecting element is necessary for tightening during the assembly of the parts. The appropriate kit, socket, or external or internal key parts located in the head shape can be selected. Axial rotation is achieved by applying torque with the help of special drive devices. This is being carried out. The contact of the crimping devices used for the external and internal key forms. Opening, tightening and loosening operations resulting from tolerances between surfaces 20 compared to the main contact area of torque transmission during axial rotation, the contact This causes it to occur through smaller areas on their surfaces. Non-contacting areas on the surfaces have no other functionality and are not for squeezing. and remains idle under relaxation conditions. 25 located in these aforementioned regions. the material causes the fastener to weigh more than necessary In the area where it is used, an additional weight increase occurs due to the fastening element. The fastener... In weight reduction efforts in components, it is often the non-functional parts that are targeted. New designs are created by extracting and connecting the discarded material. Studies are being conducted to derive the element from the head shape. This situation is design 30 It has limitations in this regard, with a weight reduction rate of around 25%. It restricts. In weight reduction studies, the head shape changes due to the torque applied by the clamping device. Damage that causes it to deform and lose its original geometry, head shape 35 It is also possible for situations to occur where its rigidity and strength are lost. In addition, In special design studies conducted for the use of special drive apparatus, in the form of a head 2 Although the weight gain rates achieved are increased, the tightening and loosening operations are only Because this can only be done with the aforementioned special drive apparatus, the supply processes are prolonged, and Additional costs arise. That is, the weight that can be driven with standard clamping devices. Weight can be reduced with reduced fasteners and special drive devices. Even suitable fasteners can lead to different problems. 5 PCT application number WO8302983 concerns externally curved, clamping and loosening surfaces. the regions where they meet are on a circle concentric with the axis of the connecting element Head forms are available for fasteners based on the principle of being. The invention refers to... In the forms, the interior angle between two adjacent surfaces applying rotational force is alternately 10° as being smaller and larger than 180°, so that the connection points between them It proposes designs that alternately lie on an outer and an inner tangential circle. These fasteners require the use of special clamps with the same geometry as the head shape. It requires. Additionally, in the assembly conditions of the fasteners, for the purpose of tightening and loosening. Axial rotational forces generated depending on the applied torque, insufficient wrench Local plastic deformation in the parts in contact with the drive apparatus as a result of contact surfaces. A stripping problem is encountered, which causes the problem. The occurrence of a stripping problem... In this case, the axial rotation required to tighten and loosen the fastener is 20°. The force cannot be transmitted to the fastener by the drive device, and the desired locking mechanism cannot be established. The load cannot be supplied. Consequently, the assembly process cannot be carried out as required. It cannot be delivered. In the known state of the technique, to avoid the problem of stripping, the head shape is usually 25 for the fastener, providing the same form but a higher percentage of key contact surface. specialized drive devices are used, or as another solution, sufficient switches are available. The head height is increased to provide more contact area. However, this also requires extra space. This leads to increased material usage. In weight reduction efforts, the inward shaping of the central part of the head is often emphasized. correctly, in familiar shapes such as cylindrical, spherical, or fastener head The outer edges of the form are hollowed out inwards while maintaining a certain wall thickness. Weight reduction is achieved through this process. Additionally, the interior is designed in the shape of a head. Performing the tightening and loosening operation of the key parts and the fastener and 35 Although weight reduction has been achieved in the head shape, the dimensions of the wrenches to be used and 3 The weight reduction achieved due to tolerance ranges is at a lower level. It remains. In conclusion, all the problems mentioned above necessitate an innovation in the relevant technical field. It has made it mandatory. 5 A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention aims to eliminate the aforementioned disadvantages and contribute to the relevant technical field.

Thus, the head The form is rigid, and the relief is made in the center of the head, which is a conventional relief. In contrast to their forms, the characteristic main boundaries of the head form are taken as a reference. This has been accomplished. Accordingly, in the form of a head containing a rectangular cavity, much more A connecting element that achieves high weight savings is presented. 5 Another purpose of the invention is to improve the shaping production applied within the scope of the cold forging process.

Thus, the weight can be increased without reducing the strength of the head. This has been reduced. The characteristic of a possible construction of the invention is that the first curve, the second curve, the third curve 5 and at least one of the fourth curves must be a concave arc. Thus, the strength remains unchanged. Space can be created and weight reduced. Also, the amount of material used is decreased. As prices decrease, costs also decrease. A characteristic feature of a possible configuration of the invention is that it includes at least one flange. Thus, in assembly, 10 The strength of the connection is increased by preventing slipping and loosening. A feature of a possible configuration of the invention is that the flange connects the first curve with the second curve. The contact areas it connects are respectively a linear transition surface and a curved transition surface. a surface and a second linear transition surface; 15 where the third curve and the fourth curve meet. It contains a linear transition surface between the contact regions. Thus, the strength Weight can be reduced by removing material from the flange while maintaining its shape. A characteristic feature of a possible design of the invention is that the connecting element is a bolt and a shaft. It should include and have a shaft with helical teeth, preferably running along its outer surface. 20 Thus, assembly can be accomplished using female fasteners. A characteristic feature of the possible construction of the invention is that the cavity is rectangular in shape. Thus A symmetrical form is obtained, and as a result, production is carried out by cold forming. It is becoming easier and also, without loss of strength, the weight is significantly reduced by 25.

It is explained with examples that do not create any limiting effect on understanding. Figures 1-6 show the representative isometric views of the connecting element (1) that is the subject of the invention. The present invention overcomes the aforementioned disadvantages in the prior art. Lightweight and high-strength connectors, which overcome challenges and are one of the industrial trends. The new head (10) form has been developed as an alternative to the elements (1). The generation is related to a connecting element (1). Connecting element (1) has 10 heads (10) in question. It can be a male or female connector. The connecting element (1) contains at least one groove (17) on the head (10). The groove (17) is the contact It is in the form of a quadrilateral between regions (11). The cavity in the form of a quadrilateral is shown in Figure 7. The visible top and bottom corners, that is, the intersection points of the top and bottom edges, 15 It is located on the central axis (M). In the preferred configuration, the cavity (17) Only one pair of opposite sides are equal to each other. However, in the alternative construction, all of them... It can also be a rhombus with opposite sides of equal length. In this case, the hollow (17) is based on the central axis (M) passing through the center of the head (10), as can be seen in Figure 7. It has become symmetrical. The cavity (17) is essentially a 20 with a certain depth on the head (10). It is a gap. Thanks to the gap (17), the head forms of traditional hexagonal connecting elements The weight has been significantly reduced according to their weight. The hollow (17) has a radius at its corners. It may involve transitions. If the fastener is a male fastener, preferably a bolt, the slot is 25. (17), in the form of a quadrilateral on the head as described above, extending towards the flange (20). It is a channel with a specific depth. This structure is shown in the cross-sectional view in Figure 8. It is shown that in this case the connecting element (1) also contains at least one shaft (30). Shaft (30) has a helical gear running along its entire outer surface. If the connecting element (1) is a female connecting element, preferably a nut, then The recess (17) is a hole passing through the center of the connecting element (1). In other words As can be seen in Figures 13 and 14, it is a circular hole with open ends. The wall thickness of the hole is determined in a way that does not compromise mechanical performance. In addition, the hole makes it possible to connect male fasteners such as bolts to the nut. 35 It is preferably internally threaded so that it will work. 8 The connecting element (1) has at least one flange (20) as can be seen in Figure 3 and Figure 18. It may contain. The flange (20) is located under the head (10) and the flange (20) The circumference of the head (10) is similar to traditional hexagonal flanged fittings (1). It has a larger diameter than its form. In addition, the head with respect to the aforementioned flange (20) The flange angle in the region above (10) is between 3° and 10°. Preferably the flange angle is between 5° and 7° 5 It is between them. In addition, the flange angle in the area on the flange (20) and the head (10) is conventional six. The flange aspect of the angled flanged connection elements (1) is lower. This allows for cold In order to facilitate production in the shaping process, the height of the head (10) The optimum flange angle (20) value was obtained for easy adjustment. The head (10) enables a drive apparatus (40) to apply force to the connecting element (1) of a drive apparatus (40). It contains at least two contact zones (11). In the preferred configuration, the contact zone (11) there are four. Contact areas (11) from the axial rotation force formed. It is designed so that it will not be deformed. Drive apparatus (40), contact By applying rotational force from the (11) regions to the head (10) part, the connecting element (1) 15 It enables rotation in the tightening direction (I) or the loosening direction (II). Drive device (40) can be a standard key. The contact areas (11) are subjected to the torque applied in the tightening direction (I) via the drive apparatus (40). 20 the drive apparatus (40) used, namely the substandard corner boring machine, which contacts the surfaces It contains at least one squeezing contact surface (111). In the preferred configuration, the squeezing contact There are four surfaces (111) located in each contact region (11). The dimensional dimensions of the clamping contact surfaces (111) are in accordance with the main standard for fasteners, 25 “ISO 898-1 - Mechanical properties of fasteners made of carbon steel and alloy steel Part 1: Bolts, screws and studs with specified property classes — Coarse thread and fine pitch The highest fastener strength class defined within the "thread" category is 12.9. corresponding to the strength values and “ISO 898-7 - Mechanical properties of fasteners Part 7: Torsional testing and minimum torques for bolts and screws with nominal 30 Minimum fracture torques given within the scope of the "diameters 1 mm to 10 mm" standard. It is determined according to the sufficient key contact areas that will provide. The most important factors affecting the performance of fasteners under assembly conditions (1) To reach the locking load, which is one of the parameters, 35 is applied during the tightening process. The magnitude of the axial rotational force generated in the contact regions with the torque (11) is important. The contact areas (11) located in the head (10) during tightening the connecting element (1) 9 Axial shift occurring at the highest torque values that causes it to lose functionality Even when rotational force is applied, there is no abrasion in the aforementioned contact areas (11). It is optimized to provide durability. The axial torque created by the torque applied in the disassembly direction (II) in the contact area (11) is 5 Standard used to ensure that the rotational force is transmitted to the connecting element (1). At least one disassembly contact surface in contact with the surfaces of the hexagonal boring machine (112) The disassembly contact surface (112) is located in each contact area (11). There are four of them. The connecting element (1) contains at least one drain (16) on the head (10). Drain (16), when looking at the cross-section view of the head (10) taken from above as in Figures 11 and 12, with the wrench (10) on the head so as not to affect the assembly performance of the fastener (1). These are the parts where material is reduced in the non-contact areas. These discharges (16) are two contact areas. The gaps between region (11) are bounded by concave springs and the drive apparatus 15 is happening. The height of the discharges (16) is the height of the connecting element (1) in the present invention. It has the same height as the wrench holding height. In other words, for tightening and loosening. The contact surfaces (112) are at the same height. The mentioned discharge (16) is shown in Figures 11 and 12. As can be seen, after the drive apparatus (40) is attached to the head (10), the drive is connected to the head (10). It is formed between the apparatus (40). To make it more understandable, the gap (16), connection causing the rigidity and strength of the form of the element (1) head (10) to be lost It is created by reducing the material in such a way that it will not be possible and the connecting element (1) head (10) It helps to reduce its weight. 25 As a result of the discharge (16) created, the head (10) has a first curve (12), a second curve (13), a It includes a third curve (14) and a fourth curve (15). So there are four contact zones. (11) the first arc (12), the second arc (13), the third arc (14) which are mentioned in turn and are connected by the fourth curve (15). Therefore, the mentioned curves 30 (The curves mentioned are the first curve (12), the second curve (13), the third curve (14) and The fourth curve (15) is located between the two contact zones (11). The curves mentioned are in the form of concave arcs and have a radius value. Four Since there are four curves, there are four drainage holes (16). The curve is concave. This means that the head (10) curves inwards towards the center. 35 As a result, the contact areas (11) are not a straight line as in the current technique, but curves. They are connected to each other. In order to reduce the use of material in the head (10). In order to create the mentioned curves, material was removed from the head (10) as described above. discharges (16) occur. In other words, discharges (16) occur side by side. The directions of the clamping and loosening contact surfaces (112) of the two contact areas are 5 Boundary lines obtained by continuing an imaginary straight line, another In other words, the imaginary head corresponding to the standard six-sided head form taken as the basis for the head (10). The boundary lines of the hexagon, and the concave curved surface extending between these contact regions (11). These are the areas between which there is no material. The radius values of the first curve (12) and the second curve (13) are equal. Again The radius values of the third curve (14) and the fourth curve (15) are also equal. As a result As can be seen in Figure 7, the central axis passes through the center of the connecting element (1). A symmetrical structure is obtained according to (M). Therefore, an equal number of clamping contact surfaces. (111) and disassembly contact surface (112) are present. As a result, a smoother 15 Consistency in results obtained in different metrics of torque distribution and fastening element (1) It has been ensured that the central axis (M) is located in two mutually contact regions (11). from the points where the area clamping contact surface (111) and the disassembly contact surface (112) intersect It is the passing axis. Considering the outline of the discharge (16) form, by means of concave springs Sharp edges were avoided by making transitions. In addition, the aforementioned discharges (16) between the hollow (17) and the inner and outer limits of the head (10) geometry The amount of material can cause stripping problems during the tightening and loosening process. It has been optimized to prevent this. The depth of discharge (16) and cavity (17), head (10) 25 in a way that maximizes material savings from weight, for the intended use The metric is determined according to the connecting element (1). The dimensions of the head (10) form correspond to the key width measurement preferred for different metrics. It can be revised in terms of design. The usability of the connecting element (1) is 30 In order to increase each geometric feature and dimensions in the form of the head (10), the key It is ratioed according to a specific coefficient based on the width measurement. The aforementioned link element (1) flange diameter (20), desired head (10) bearing surface It is determined according to the area it will have. Thus, the risk of loosening of the connecting element (1) By reducing the number of connections, connection security is increased. 35 11 The characteristic form of the head (10) is the main production in the production of fasteners (1). suitable for shaping techniques applied within the scope of cold forging process. It has been determined in such a way that there is no need for weight-reduced fasteners (1). It can be produced quickly and easily in high volumes at the points where it is needed. In an alternative configuration of the invention shown in Figures 18–20, the flange (20) and the first curve (12) between the contact regions (11) which are joined by the second curve (13), respectively a linear transition The surface comprises a curved transition surface followed by a second linear transition surface. Between the contact zones (11) that connect the third curve (14) and the fourth curve (15) The flange (20) contains only a linear transition surface. 10 In this configuration, the circumferential contour of the flange (20) is related to the relevant, as can be seen in Figure 20. to the clamping contact surfaces (111) and the desoldering contact surfaces in the contact areas (11) (112) are connected to the contact areas (11) in a tangential manner. Thus, the flange (20) The weight can be further reduced by removing unnecessary materials around it. Another 15 In other words, the outer diameter of the flange (20) defines the outer boundary of the head (10) and the contact areas (11) the imaginary circle passing through the outer endpoints of the tightening and loosening contact surfaces (112) It can be determined in such a way that it is essentially the same as the diameter. In light of all that has been said, the invention works as follows: The connecting element (1), standard 20 with the hexagonal drive apparatus (40), through the contact areas (11) located in its head (10). being grasped (See Figure 9 and Figure 10) and an equal number of squeezes in these contact areas (11) by rotating via the contact surfaces (111) and the disassembly contact surfaces (112) It can be assembled and disassembled. In addition, durability will not be reduced. The head (10) in the parts connecting the contact areas (11), four discharge (16) 25 It includes these discharges (16) respectively the first curve (12), the second curve (13), the third It forms the first curve (14) and the fourth curve (15). Due to the discharges (16), the material The weight can be reduced and decreased. Finally, if the connecting element (1) is a bolt, 30 from the center of the head (10). The hollow in the form of a quadrilateral symmetrical with respect to the passing central axis (M) (17) (essentially a (other gaps) allow for material reduction while maintaining rigidity and strength. It recognizes it. During assembly, the drive device (40) is rotated in the tightening direction (I). Tightening and loosening by applying force to the clamping contact surfaces (111) shown in Figure 11. By rotating in the direction (II), force 35 is applied to the disassembly contact surfaces (112) as seen in Figure 12. Removal can be accomplished by applying this method. 12 If the connecting element (1) is a nut, then the recess (17) is a male connection nut. It has a hole to allow connection to the element. This configuration is without a flange. The flanged version can be seen in Figures 13-14 and Figures 15-17 respectively. Therefore, the connecting element (1), the recess (17) on the head (10), the discharges (16) and 5 Thanks to four contact zones (11), compared to traditional hexagonal connectors This allows for sufficient torque transmission by using less material in the head region, and It allows for the preservation of mechanical strength. Four contact zones (11) Thanks to the four clamping and loosening contact surfaces (112) on it, clamping and loosening The distribution of torque applied during the process is ensured to be more homogeneous, and 10 especially during repeated assembly-disassembly operations for maintenance purposes, the head (10) part appears The risk of resulting abrasion and local deformation is reduced. In this way, the head (10) is used By eliminating unnecessary material, the total weight of the fastener (1) is significantly reduced. a reduction is achieved and costs are lowered through the use of less raw materials. contributions are being made. 15 In addition, tightening and loosening operations are performed over the same number of contact areas (11). to be realized and the head (10) form will be balanced around the drive axis during the design, scaling of the connecting element (1) to different metric dimensions 20 This facilitates and creates more homogeneous stress on the mold during cold forming production. It helps to ensure their distribution. In conclusion, it can be mounted with substandard corner drive fittings without compromising strength. A connecting element (1) with significantly reduced weight was developed without giving any weight. 25 The scope of protection of the invention is specified in the claims attached hereto, and these details are strictly adhered to. The explanation cannot be limited to those given for illustrative purposes. Because a technically skilled person... the person, without deviating from the main theme of the invention, in light of what has been described above, similar It is clear that these structures can emerge. 30 13 REFERENCE NUMBERS GIVEN IN THE FIGURE 1 Fastener Head 11 Contact Zone 5 111 Squeezing Contact Surface 112 Removal Contact Surface 12 First Arc 13 Second Arc 14 Third Arc 10 Fourth Arc 16 Unloading 17 Holes Flange Shaft 15 40 Drive Devices (I) Clamping Direction (II) Direction of Removal (M) Central Axis
