Screw

The present invention relates to a lock, and more particularly to a screw.

Referring to Figure 1, a prior art screw includes a screw body 3 and a sleeve 4. The screw body 3 includes a screw head 31 extending axially along a central axis, and a screw body 32 extending axially along the central axis by the screw head 31. The screw body 32 includes a threaded section 321 and a thread. A ring segment 322 between the screw head 31 and the thread segment 321 and annularly projecting radially, and a connecting portion 323 connected between the screw head 31 and the ring segment 322. The sleeve 4 is sleeved on the screw body 32 and includes a surrounding wall 41 surrounding the screw body 32, and four limits extending radially inwardly from the surrounding wall 41 and surrounding the periphery of the connecting portion 323. The wall 42 defines a limiting hole 43 having a smaller aperture than the screw head 31 and the ring segment 322.

Referring to FIG. 2, at the time of manufacture, a blank is first forged and the screw body 3 is formed. Next, a metal piece 4' is punched out from a metal plate, and the limit walls 42 spaced apart from each other are formed on the side of the metal piece 4'. Then, the metal sheet 4' is stamped and wrapped around the outer periphery of the screw body 32 by using a stamping die to form the sleeve 4. At this time, the limiting wall 42 will surround the circumference of the connecting portion 323 and surround the outlet. The aperture is smaller than the limiting hole 43 of the screw head 31 and the ring segment 322, so that the limiting wall 42 is limited between the screw head 31 and the ring clamping portion 322, thereby enabling the casing 4 limit sleeves are set on the screw body 32.

However, the existing screws do not have suitable automatic equipment during the manufacturing process, and the process of stamping the metal sheet 4' into the periphery of the screw body 32 can be automatically completed. Therefore, in the manufacture, only the process must utilize manpower. Manipulating the stamping die not only slows overall production efficiency, but also labor costs.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a screw that can be quickly produced using automated equipment.

Thus, the novel screw comprises: a screw body and a sleeve. The screw body includes a screw head extending axially along a central axis, and a screw body extending axially along the central axis, the screw body having a threaded section and a threaded portion a pinion section between the thread segments, and a connecting section connected between the screw head and the pinion section, the pinion section being formed with a plurality of teeth spaced around the central axis. The sleeve is sleeved on the screw body, and includes a surrounding wall surrounding the screw body, and at least one limiting wall extending radially inwardly from the surrounding wall and surrounding the periphery of the connecting portion, the limiting wall A limiting hole having a smaller aperture than the screw head and the pinion segment is defined.

Automated manufacturing.

Before the present invention is described in detail, it should be noted that in the following description, similar elements are denoted by the same reference numerals.

Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the first embodiment of the present invention comprises a screw body 1 and a sleeve 2 which is sleeved on the screw body 1.

The screw body 1 includes a screw head 11 extending axially along a central axis L, and a screw body 12 extending axially along the central axis L by the screw head 11. The screw body 12 includes a threaded section 13, a pinion section 14 interposed between the screw head 11 and the threaded section 13, and a connecting section 15 connected between the screw head 11 and the pinion section 14. . The surface of the threaded section 13 has a thread extending helically about the central axis L, and the diameter of the threaded section 13 and the connecting section 15 is smaller than the cylindrical diameter of the toothed section 14.

Referring to Figures 4 and 5, the pinion section 14 is formed with a plurality of teeth 141 spaced around the central axis L. The gear teeth 141 each protrude radially from the surface and extend longitudinally along the central axis L. Each of the teeth 141 has a tooth peak 142 at a radially protruding apex and an outer chamfer 143 facing away from the screw head 11. Each of the two adjacent teeth 141 defines a slot 144, each slot 144 having a valley 145 having a radially concave apex, defining a addendum circle C1 tangential to the peaks 142, and a phase The root circle C2 of the tooth valleys 145 is cut. In the present embodiment, each of the gear teeth 141 has another outer chamfer 143 facing the screw head 11 to facilitate disassembly of the sleeve 2 in the future, but the outer chamfer 143 facing the screw head 11 may be omitted during implementation. It is not limited to this embodiment.

Referring to Figures 4, 5 and 6, the sleeve 2 includes a surrounding wall 21 that surrounds the screw body 12, and a surrounding wall 21 extends radially inwardly from one end of the screw head 11 and surrounds the connecting portion. 15 peripheral limit wall 22. The surrounding wall 21 defines a through hole 23 extending coaxially with the limiting hole 24 and having a larger diameter than the addendum circle C1. The limiting wall 22 encloses and defines a limiting hole 24 having an aperture between the root circle C2 and the addendum circle C1, and the limiting wall 22 has a direction toward the screw 11 and surrounds the limit The inner chamfer 221 of the hole 24.

Referring to Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, the following describes the manufacturing method of the novel screw: the method for manufacturing the screw is applied through an automatic device (not shown), and a first blank (not shown) and a second The blank (not shown) is processed into a screw, and the method of manufacturing the screw includes the following steps:

Step 91: Forging to form the screw body 1. The first blank is forged to form the screw body 1 such that the screw body 1 forms the screw head 11 and the screw body 12, and the screw body 12 forms the pinion segment 14 having the gear teeth 141, and has The threaded section 13 of the thread forms the outer chamfer 143 on each of the teeth 141 facing away from one side of the screw head 11 and facing one side of the screw head 11.

The gear teeth 141 of the pinion section 14 can be forged by a toothed die, and are extruded through the tooth die to form the concave slots 144 and the protruding teeth 141, which are relatively simple and fast. It should be noted that the design of the forging die must allow the gear teeth 141 to protrude radially from the threaded section 13 and the connecting section 15, even if the diameter of the addendum circle C1 can be larger than the threaded section 13 and The diameter of the connecting section 15 is not limited to the above. The threading method of the thread segment 13 is a known technique and is not the focus of the present invention, and therefore will not be described in detail herein.

Step 92: Forging to form the sleeve 2. The sleeve 2 is forged to form the sleeve 2 such that the sleeve 2 forms the limiting hole 24 and a through hole 23 coaxially communicating with the limiting hole 24. The aperture of the limiting hole 24 is smaller than the diameter of the addendum circle C1 and larger than the diameter of the root circle C2. The inner chamfer 221 surrounding the limiting hole 24 is formed on the side of the limiting wall 22 toward the screw head 11.

Step 93: Stamping butt. Firstly, the screw body 1 is aligned with the one end of the screw head 11 to the limiting hole 24, and the screw body 1 is punched and butted together with the sleeve 2, since each two adjacent gear teeth 141 are formed between A tooth groove 144, when the teeth 141 are radially pressed, can obtain a large elastic deformation space through the slots 144, so that the pinion section 14 passes through the aperture during the punching process. The limiting hole 24 can be smoothly squeezed through the preferred radial compression elasticity, and the inner chamfer 221 of the limiting hole 24 and the outer chamfer 143 of the teeth 141 are also The pinion segment 14 can be more smoothly passed through, and then the pinion segment 14 moves into the through hole 23 after passing through the limiting hole 24, since the addendum circle C1 is larger than the limiting hole 24, The teeth 141 are caught against the limiting wall 22 and cannot be disengaged from the limiting hole 24 through the normal pulling force to achieve the function of limiting the sleeve 2 to the screw body 1.

Since the above-mentioned stamping and docking process is simple and the automatic punching equipment for docking is quite common, the design of the sleeve shaft 14 and the sleeve 2 allows the present invention to be directly used for the automatic stamping equipment for docking. Manufacturing production to increase production efficiency.

In summary, the new type of screw, by the structural design of the pinion section 14 and the sleeve 2, can be assembled by stamping and docking during the manufacturing process to facilitate the common use of the screw body 1 and the sleeve 2 Automated stamping equipment for rapid and automated production to improve the efficiency of overall manufacturing and reduce labor costs, so it can achieve the purpose of this new type.

Referring to Figures 9 and 10, the second embodiment of the present invention differs from the first embodiment in that the sleeve 2 includes four equally spaced spacers around the periphery of the connecting section 15. The wall 22, each of the limiting walls 22 extends radially inwardly from one end of the surrounding wall 21 adjacent the screw head 11. Each of the limiting walls 22 has an inner chamfer 221 formed on the inner edge and facing one side of the screw head 11. The limiting walls 22 define the limiting apertures 24 . Through the limiting walls 22, the function of stopping the limit can also be achieved to limit the sleeve 2 to the screw body 1. In practice, the number of the limiting walls 22 may be two, three or more, as long as the function of stopping the limit can be achieved, and is not limited to the embodiment.

However, the above is only the embodiment of the present invention, and when it is not possible to limit the scope of the present invention, all the simple equivalent changes and modifications according to the scope of the patent application and the contents of the patent specification are still This new patent covers the scope.
