Description
COMPOSITE SCREW AND METHOD OF PRODUCING THE SAME
The disclosure relates to a screw and a method of producing the screw, and more particularly to a composite 5 screw and a method of producing the composite screw.
As shown in Figure 1, an existing screw 1 includes a screw head 11 and a threaded shaft 12 extending downwardly from the screw head 11. The threaded shaft 12 has a fixing portion 122 proximate to the screw head 10 11, and a tapping portion 121 extending from the fixing portion 122 oppositely to the screw head 11. In order to endure stresses induced upon tapping, the existing screw 1 is entirely made from an expensive high strength steel material. However, because only the tapping 15 portion 122, which carries out the tapping operation, requires the high strength material and such a high strength material is not essential for the remaining part of the existing screw, making the existing screw 1 entirely from the high strength material not only 20 results in unnecessary material costs, but also wastes the high strength steel material.
Therefore, one object of the disclosure is to provide a composite screw that is partially made from a high stiffness and strength material and that is sufficiently 25 strong to endure tapping stresses.
According to one aspect of the disclosure, a composite screw includes a screw body, at least one reception
2018201127 16 Feb 2018 recess, and at least one composite unit.
The screwbodyhas a tapping end portion that includes a circular bottom surface, a peripheral surface and a main thread. The circular bottom surface has a circle 5 center. The peripheral surface extends upwardly from a circumference of the circular bottom surface. The main thread is formed around the peripheral surface.
The at least one reception recess is indented upwardly from the circular bottom surface and inwardly from the 10 peripheral surface and has a height from the circular bottom surface as high as the tapping portion.
The at least one composite unit includes a weld material and a rigid body of high strength and stiffness material .
The weld material is filled in the at least one reception recess and secured to the screw body.
The rigid body is disposed in the at least one reception recess and fixed to the weld material. The rigid body and the weld material cooperatively and 20 entirely fill the at least one reception recess. The rigid body has an outer surface and an auxiliary thread. The outer surface is exposed from the at least one reception recess . The main thread has a discontinuation where the at least one reception recess opens at the 25 peripheral surface. The auxiliary thread is formed on the outer surface and connected to the main thread to fill the discontinuation.
2018201127 16 Feb 2018
Another object of the disclosure is to provide a method for producing a composite screw.
According to another aspect of the disclosure, a method for producing a composite screw includes:
providing a screw body having a tapping end portion that includes a circular bottom surface, a peripheral surface and a main thread, the circular bottom surface having a circle center, the peripheral surface extending upwardly from a circumference of said circular bottom 10 surface, the main thread formed around said peripheral surfacerprocessing the screw body to form at least one reception recess that is indented upwardly from the circular bottom surface and inwardly from the peripheral 15 surface and having a height from the circular bottom surface as high as the tapping end portion;
providing at least one composite unit, the at least one composite unit including a weld material to be filled in the at least one reception recess, and a rigid body 20 of high strength and stiffness material to be disposed in the at least one reception recess, the rigid body having an outer surface to be exposed from the at least one reception recess, and an auxiliary thread formed on the outer surface to be connected to the main thread;
disposing the weld material in the at least one reception recess and subsequently inserting and moving the rigid body into the at least one reception recess
2018201127 16 Feb 2018 to press the weld material against the screw body; and melting the weld material to secure the rigid body to the screw body by using a welding machine to apply an electric current to the weld material.

Before the disclosure is described in greater detail,
2018201127 16 Feb 2018 it should be noted that where considered appropriate, reference numerals or terminal portions of reference numerals have been repeated among the figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements, which may 5 optionally have similar characteristics.
Referring to Figure 2, a method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is illustrated, which includes consecutive steps SI to S6 to produce a first embodiment of a composite screw.
Referring to Figure 3, in step SI, a screw body 2 is provided. The screw body 2 has a tapping end portion that includes a circular bottom surface 21, a peripheral surface 22 and a main thread 23 . The circular bottom surface 21 has a circle center 211 . The peripheral 15 surface 22 extends upwardly from a circumference of the circular bottom surface 21 . The main thread 23 is formed around the peripheral surface 22.
Referring to Figures 4 and 5, in step S2, the screw body 2 is processed to form two reception recesses 3, 20 each of which is indented upwardly from the circular bottom surface 21 and inwardly from the peripheral surface 22 and has a height from the circular bottom surface 21 as high as the tapping end portion 20. The two reception recesses 3 meet at the circle center 211 25 of the circular bottom surf ace 2 1 . The reception recesses subtend an angle of 180 degrees at the circle center
211. In this embodiment, the main thread 23 has
2018201127 16 Feb 2018 discontinuations (G) (see Figure 4) where the reception recesses 3 opens at the peripheral surface 22.
Referring to Figures 6 and 7, in step S3, a composite unit 4 is provided. The composite unit 4 includes a weld 5 material 41 to be filled in the reception recesses 3, and a single piece rigid body 42 of high strength and stiffness material to be disposed in the reception recesses 3. The rigid body 42 has two outer surfaces 429 to be exposed from the respective reception recesses 10 3, and auxiliary threads 421 formed on the respective outer surfaces 429 to be connected to the main thread 23 for respectively filling the discontinuations (G).
In this embodiment, the rigid body 42 is made from tungsten carbide suitable for tapping.
Referring to Figure 8, in combination with Figure
6, in step S4, the weld material 41 is disposed in the reception recesses 3, and the rigid body 42 is subsequently inserted and moved into the reception recesses 3 to press the weld material 41 against the 20 screw body 2.
As shown in Figure 8, in step S5, the weld material is melted to secure the rigid body 42 to the tapping end portion 20 by using a welding machine (not shown)to apply an electric current to the weld material 41.
In step S6, to eliminate irregularities caused by tolerable positional error, the auxiliary thread 421 of the composite unit 4 and the main thread 23 of the
2018201127 16 Feb 2018 screw body 2 are trimmed using a grinder (not shown) after the weld material 41 secures the rigid body 42 to the tapping end portion 20 or the screw body 2 so that the connection of the main thread 23 with the auxiliary threads 421 becomes smooth and neat, or even perfect.
By virtue of the rigid body 42 secured to the tapping end portion 20 through the weld material 41, not only can an efficient tapping be feasible due to the high 10 strength and stiffness of the rigid body 42, but also the fabrication cost can be saved because the screw body 2 can be made from a relatively low cost material.
Referring back to Figure 8, in addition to the composite screw according to the first embodiment of 15 the present disclosure, the method illustrated in Figure 2 may also produce other composite screws according to other embodiments of the present disclosure.
Referring to Figures 9 and 10, composite screws according to second and third embodiments of the present 20 disclosure, which are generally similar to that of the first embodiment, are illustrated. However, the second embodiment includes three reception recesses 3 meeting or intersecting each other at the circle center 211. Every two adjacent ones of the reception recesses 3 25 subtend an angle of 120 degrees at the circle center 211. The third embodiment includes four reception recesses 3 which meet each other at the circle center
2018201127 16 Feb 2018
211. Every two adjacent ones of the reception recesses subtend an angle of 90 degrees at the circle center
211. Because the reception recesses 3 in the second and third embodiments extend in different directions, the rigid bodies 42 of the second and third embodiments are unable to slide out of the reception recesses 3 from the peripheral surface 22 and can be effectively
| positioned to the screw body 2. | |||
| Figures | 11 | and 12 illustrate a composite screw | |
| 10 | according | to | a fourth embodiment of the present |
disclosure. Figure 13 illustrates a composite screw according to a fifth embodiment of the present disclosure.
Figure 14 illustrates a composite screw according to a sixth embodiment of the present disclosure. A 15 configuration of the composite screws of the fourth, fifth, and sixth embodiments is generally similar to that of the first embodiment. However, in the fourth embodiment, the composite screw includes two reception recesses 3 and two rigid bodies 42 . The reception 20 recesses 3 are spaced apart from each other and do not meet the circle center 211. In the fifth embodiment, the composite screw includes three spaced apart reception recesses 3 and three rigid bodies 42. In the sixth embodiment, the composite screw includes four 25 spaced apart reception recesses 3 and four rigid bodies
42. In order to achieve uniform tapping stresses, the reception recesses 3 of the fourth to sixth embodiments
2018201127 16 Feb 2018
0 are angularly spaced apart from each other in an equiangular manner, and every two adjacent ones of the reception recesses 3 subtend an equal angle at the circle center 211 of the circular bottom surface 21 . In addition, the reception recesses 3 do not extend to the circle center 211 . The reception recesses 3 as such canbe formed in a relatively easy manner.
Figures 15, 16, and 17 illustrate composite screws according to seventh, eighth, and ninth embodiments of the present disclosure. The composite screws of the seventh to ninth embodiments have a configuration generally similar to that of the fourth embodiment. However, each reception recess 3 has two opposite bounding walls 31 meeting the circular bottom surface 21 and the peripheral surface 22. The opposite bounding walls 31 confront with each other and convergingly extend to the peripheral surface 22 from an inside of the screw body 2 . When the rigid body 42 is disposed in the reception recess 3, the rigid body 42 can be effectively prevented from sliding out of the peripheral surface 22.
It is worth mentioning that the composite screws of the fourth to sixth embodiments (see figures 11-14) can be produced by modifying the method illustrated in Figure
2. Specifically, in steps S2 and S3, the number of the rigid bodies 42 is arranged to be equal to that of the reception recesses 3. In addition, the reception recesses 3 are arranged not to meet the circle center

2018201127 16 Feb 2018
211, thereby facilitating processing of the screw body
2. In the second to third embodiments (see Figures 9 and 10) , the single piece rigid body 42 is provided with at least three branching parts that branch in at least three different directions so that the rigid body 42 can be limited efficiently from sliding outward from the peripheral surface 22. In seventh to ninth embodiments ( see Figures 15 to 17 ) , eachreceptionrecess has two opposite bounding walls 31 that converge to 10 the peripheral surface 22 so as to limit outward movements of the rigid body 42.
In the description above, for the purposes of explanation, numerous specific details have been set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of 15 the embodiments. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art, that one or more other embodiments may be practiced without some of these specific details.
It should also be appreciated that reference throughout this specification to one embodiment, an 20 embodiment, an embodiment with an indication of an ordinal number and so forth means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic may be included in the practice of the disclosure. It should be further appreciated that in the description, various features 25 are sometimes grouped together in a single embodiment, figure, or description thereof for the purpose of streamlining the disclosure and aiding in the
