2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a joint portion of a structure made of a metal plate material such as an automobile or a railroad vehicle is joined by spot welding, rivet fitting, bolt fastening or the like. But,
Dissimilar material welding between ferrous and non-ferrous metals such as steel plate and aluminum plate is very difficult and ordinary spot welding cannot be applied. In addition, the method of fitting rivets and fastening bolts requires pre-drilling, which not only increases extra process time, but also
When multi-point connection is performed, problems such as hole shift are likely to occur. Further, in the case of bolt fastening, the problem of nut loosening is likely to occur when used under high vibration. In order to save the labor of punching, a method of punching a metal plate with a nail-shaped rivet may be used, but in this case, a dimple-shaped extension occurs around the punched hole, and a plurality of holes are formed around the hole during penetration. Since radial cracks occur, the strength of the plate material cannot be reduced. In particular, when dissimilar metal plates are joined, a gap is created between the plate materials due to the difference in elongation of the metal materials, so that the strength is more likely to be reduced. Further, in order to punch out a metal plate, a nail-shaped rivet having a high material strength and hardness must be used, and there is a problem that a large pressing force is required at the time of caulking.
Moreover, if the caulking is not sufficient, the plate material may rotate around the rivet, which may cause wear or breakage of the rivet. On the other hand, as a joining method instead of rivet fitting or bolt fastening, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-141066.
No. 2000-61663, JP 2000-
Proposals have been made such as a method by friction stir welding disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 153374 and 2000-153375, a method by press-fitting welding disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-42512, and a joining method by an adhesive. ing. However, the friction diffusion welding method can be applied to joining aluminum or aluminum alloy plates that melt and soften at a relatively low temperature, but cannot apply to one or both of which are steel plates. Further, the method of press-fitting and joining enables dissimilar metal to be joined by press-fitting and joining an iron inner member into a hole of an outer member formed of an aluminum alloy. Not applicable to. Further, in the case of joining with an adhesive, there is a problem that the joining surface is easily peeled off due to the difference in stress strain and thermal strain of each metal material when a load is applied to the joining portion or a temperature change occurs. As described above, there has been no suitable method for simply and reliably fastening dissimilar metal plates without lowering the strength of the plate material or the fastening member or damaging the fastening members.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a spring plate nut that constitutes a thin metal plate fastening member according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a thin metal plate according to an embodiment of the present invention (claims 1, 2, and 5). It is sectional drawing which shows the state which fastened two thin metal plates by the plate fastening member. Reference numeral 1 in the drawing denotes a drilling tapping screw that constitutes a thin metal plate fastening member according to an embodiment of the present invention, and has a thread portion (pitch smaller than each thin metal plate thickness to be fastened to its shaft portion 1a). The threaded portion 1d) is formed. As will be described later, the thickness of each thin metal plate to be fastened is preferably 0.5 to 3 mm, and the screw pitch is preferably about 0.2 to 1.5 mm. Further, the drill portion 1 is provided at one end of the shaft portion 1a.
b, a head portion 1c having a diameter larger than the diameter of the shaft portion 1a is integrally formed at the other end portion. Since the pitch of the threads is smaller than the thickness of each thin metal plate, when the drilling tapping screw 1 penetrates each thin metal plate, one or more female threads are formed on each thin metal plate. There is an effect that the tapping screw 1 and each of the metal plates are securely fastened by screw connection. The drill portion 1b may be a pointed tip or a cutting edged tip, and can be appropriately selected depending on the material and plate thickness of the thin metal plate to be fastened. The outer diameter (screw diameter) of the shaft portion 1a is preferably about twice the plate thickness per sheet in consideration of the drilling performance of the drill portion 1b and the buckling resistance of the shaft portion 1a. Therefore, the plate thickness per sheet is 0.5 to 3
In the case of mm, a preferable range is about M1 to M6. If the drilling tapping screw 1 is made of a material having higher strength and hardness than the material of the thin metal plate to be fastened, it is technically possible to produce a screw having a diameter smaller than M1. It is possible, but if the screw diameter is reduced, the electric drill for screwing in the drilling tapping screw 1 needs to be rotated at higher speed and with higher performance, and a commercially available electric drill cannot be used as it is and a dedicated electric drill is required. Therefore, it is preferable to set M1 or more. The shape of the head 1c is not limited as long as it is larger than the diameter of the shaft 1a, and may be a square head, a hexagonal head, etc. in addition to the round head shown in FIG. You may use your head. Then, on the upper surface of the head 1c, as a rotating means of the drilling tapping screw 1, −-shaped groove, + -shaped groove,
Hexagonal holes and square holes must be formed. The material of the drilling tapping screw 1 is not particularly limited as long as the material strength and hardness are equal to or higher than those of the thin metal plate to be fastened, and for example, ordinary carbon steel can be used. When corrosion resistance is required, stainless steel, high-strength aluminum alloy, or the like may be used. The spring plate nut 2 shown in FIG. 1 is made of a material having rigidity such as carbon steel, stainless steel, and high-strength aluminum alloy into a dish shape having no screw hole, like the drilling tapping screw 1. If the thickness is too thin, there will be a problem in strength, and in the same manner as described above, in order to achieve reliable fastening, the thickness is such that an internal thread of 1 pitch or more is formed when the drilling tapping screw 1 penetrates. Then, a depression 2d is formed in advance in the center of the bottom of the concave surface 2a of the spring plate nut 2 by a punch or the like, so that the tapping position by the tip of the drill portion 1b of the drilling tapping screw 1 deviates from the center (so-called center deviation). It is also preferable to have a structure for preventing. Further, in order to prevent the spring plate nut 2 from rotating together when tapping with the drilling tapping screw 1, the surface of the edge portion 2c of the spring plate nut 2 that is in contact with the thin metal plate to be fastened is previously knurled, cuts, or uneven. It is preferable to apply anti-slip processing. When the drilling tapping screw 1 is tightened, the spring plate nut 2 is deformed and the bottom surface of the concave surface 2a comes into contact with the thin metal plate to be fastened. It is further preferable that the surface of the concave surface 2a is also subjected to the same anti-slip processing as described above so that the spring plate nut 2 does not easily loosen due to high vibration thereafter. The diameter of the spring plate nut 2 is preferably twice or more the screw diameter so that the spring plate nut 2 does not loosen even when used under high vibration. The thickness of each thin metal plate fastened by using the thin metal plate fastening member including the drilling tapping screw 1 and the spring plate nut 2 is preferably 0.5 to 3 mm. If it is less than 0.5 mm, it is difficult to form one or more female threads because the metal plate is too thin, and if it is more than 3 mm, when the drilling tapping screw 1 is screwed into the metal plate, the cutting edge of the drill part 1b becomes blunt and cannot penetrate. Because there is also. The number of thin metal plates to be fastened is not limited to the two shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, and may be three or more. In addition, the material of the thin metal plate to be fastened is not particularly limited, and not only fastening of different materials (for example, steel plate and aluminum alloy plate) but also of similar materials (for example, steel plate and steel plate, aluminum alloy plate). And an aluminum alloy plate). FIG. 3 shows a plurality (two in FIG. 3) of a thin metal plate fastening member including a drilling tapping screw 1 and a spring plate nut 2 according to the present invention (claims 1, 2, and 5). It is a figure explaining an example of the method of stacking and fastening thin metal plates. In FIG. 3, B is an electric drill, C is a work table for fastening, D is a plate fixing means, and E is a screw tip cutting means. As shown in FIG. 3, the fastening work table C is provided with a recess C2 for holding the spring plate nut 2 on its plate holding surface C1, and a hole C3 is further provided in the center of the bottom of the recess C2. When the tip of the drill portion 1b of the drilling tapping screw 1 penetrates the spring plate nut 2, it can be projected downward. Further, an electric drill B for screwing the drilling tapping screw 1 directly above the recess C2 is provided so as to be able to move up and down, and a plurality of stacked thin metal plates A are pressed against the plate holding surface C1 from above to fix the plate. The means D is configured to be movable up and down. As the plate fixing means D, for example, FIG.
A plurality of spring-loaded pressing members D1 are arranged around the space in which the electric drill B moves up and down, and the pressing members D1 are mechanically moved up and down in conjunction with the lifting of the electric drill B. Alternatively, the pressing member D1 may be made of ordinary steel, an electromagnet may be embedded in the plate holding surface C1 directly below the pressing member D1, and the pressing member D1 may be attached or detached depending on whether or not the electromagnet is energized. At the time of fastening, first, the spring plate nut 2 is fitted into the recess C2 with its concave surface side facing upward. It is desirable that the diameter of the recess C2 be made slightly larger than the diameter of the spring plate nut 2 so that the spring plate nut 2 can be fitted easily and the center position of the spring plate nut does not deviate too much after the fitting. Further, the depth of the recess C2 is set to be equal to or slightly shallower than the entire thickness of the spring plate nut 2, and when the plurality of thin metal plates A are pressed against the plate holding surface C1 by the plate fixing means D, the lowermost thin metal plate is pressed. It is desirable that the plate Ab and the spring plate nut 2 contact each other. That is, if the depth of the recess C2 is too deep, the spring plate nut 2 and the thin metal plate A at the bottom are
There is a gap between the drilling tapping screw 1 and the drilling tapping screw 1 and the drill 1b of the drilling tapping screw 1 turns around when the spring plate nut 2 is threaded. On the other hand, if the depth of the recess C2 is too shallow, This is because the spring plate nut 2 projects above the plate holding surface C1 and the thin metal plates A float above the plate holding surface C1 and the screwing operation of the drilling tapping screw 1 becomes unstable. Next, the plurality of stacked thin metal plates A are set on the plate holding surface C1 so that the position where the drilling tapping screw 1 is driven into the plurality of thin metal plates A is directly below the electric drill B. Then, the plate fixing means D is lowered to press and fix the plurality of thin metal plates A against the plate holding surface C1, and then the electric drill B is held by the drilling tapping screw 1 at its tip and lowered to make a plurality of screw tips. After contacting the upper surface A1 of the thin metal plate A, the drill B is rotated and the drilling tapping screw 1 is screwed into the plurality of thin metal plates A (At, Ab) by the drill portion 1b. A plurality of thin metal plates A (A
After passing through t, Ab), the spring plate nut 2 is further punched and penetrated. Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the shaft portion 1a of the drilling tapping screw 1 is threaded, but due to the structure of the screw processing tool used for thread formation, at least the incomplete screw portion 1e is provided immediately below the head portion 1c. There is always about 0.5 to 1 pitch, the drilling tapping screw 1 is screwed in, and the head 1c thereof is the upper surface A of the plurality of thin metal plates A.
After further contacting with No. 1 and further tightening this incomplete screw portion 1e, the head portion 1c of the drilling tapping screw 1 itself is constrained by the upper surface A1 and cannot move downward any more, while rotating at that position. , The threaded portion 1d of the drilling tapping screw 1 is screwed into the spring plate nut 2, and the spring plate nut 2 is constrained to the lower surface A2 of the plurality of thin metal plates A by its edge portion 2c, so that the concave surface 2a side is the lower surface A2 side. Then, the spring plate nut 2 is elastically deformed (may be partially plastically deformed), and the spring plate nut 2 is strongly pressed against the lower surface A2 via the edge portion 2c. From the above, a plurality of thin metal plates A (At, A
Since b) is screwed by the drilling tapping screw 1 and is strongly pressed by the elastically deformed spring plate nut 2, rotation of the plate material which is a problem in the rivet connection does not occur. Further, since burrs (adhered cuttings, end projections, etc.) formed when the lowermost thin metal plate Ab is drilled by the drilling tapping screw 1 are hidden by the spring plate nut 2, aesthetics of the fastening portion are important. Even in such a case, there is an advantage that no work such as deburring is required after the fastening work. When the tip portion of the drill portion 1b penetrating the spring plate nut 2 poses an aesthetic problem, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, the screw tip cutting-off means E configured such that the blade tip protrudes into the hole portion C3. Etc. should be provided. As another embodiment of the present invention (claims 1, 2, and 5), FIG.
A non-threaded portion 1f having no thread cut on the shaft portion 1a immediately below the head portion 1c, as shown in FIG.
The drilling tapping screw 1 which is equal to or slightly longer than the total thickness of Ab) may be used. In this case, this drilling tapping screw 1 is screwed in until its head 1c contacts the upper surface A1 of the plurality of thin metal plates A, and the screw portion 1d is completely passed through the total thickness of the plurality of thin metal plates A (At, Ab). And then drilling tapping screw 1
Continuing to rotate, multiple thin metal plates A (At, Ab)
Since the non-screwed portion 1f exists in the portion having the thickness of 1, the screw portion 1d is screwed into the spring plate nut 2, so that the concave surface 2a side of the spring plate nut 2 is elastic toward the lower surface A2 side of the thin metal plate A. It is drawn while deforming (partially plastically deforming), and finally the bottom of the concave surface 2a comes into contact with the lower surface A2. Therefore, in this case, unlike the case of FIG.
The plurality of thin metal plates A (At, Ab) and the drilling tapping screw 1 are not screwed together, but instead, the spring plate nut 2 is deformed more largely than in the case of FIG. 2 and pressed against the lower surface A2 with a stronger elastic force. At the same time, the contact area between the spring plate nut 2 and the lower surface A2 increases and a larger frictional force is generated, so that the problem of loosening does not occur even under high vibration. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which two thin metal plates are fastened by a thin metal plate fastening member according to an embodiment of the present invention (claims 3, 4, and 6). In FIG. 5, the drilling tapping screw 1 and the spring plate nut 2 are the same as those shown in FIG. In FIG. 5, reference numeral 3 is a disc spring washer, which is formed of a rigid material such as carbon steel, stainless steel, and high-strength aluminum alloy into a dish shape without screw holes, like the spring plate nut 2. And
If the thickness is too thin, it causes a problem in strength, and in order to achieve reliable fastening, the thickness is such that an internal thread of 1 pitch or more is formed when the drilling tapping screw 1 penetrates. Then, a depression (not shown) is formed in advance by a punch or the like in the center of the top of the convex surface 3b of the disc spring washer 3.
It is also preferable to have a structure that prevents the tapping position of the drilling tapping screw 1 by the tip of the drill portion 1b from deviating from the center (so-called center deviation). Furthermore, in order to prevent the spring plate nut 2 from rotating together when tapping with the drilling tapping screw 1, the disc spring washer 3
It is preferable that the surface of the edge portion 3c that contacts the fastened thin metal plate At be knurled, cut out, or have a non-slip process such as unevenness, and the disc spring washer 3 is deformed by tightening the drilling tapping screw 1. Let the concave surface 3
When the fastening is performed such that a contacts the thin metal plate to be fastened, the same anti-slip processing is applied to the surface of the concave surface 3a so that the disc spring washer 3 is unlikely to loosen due to high vibration after fastening. More preferably. Further, it is preferable that the diameter of the disc spring washer 3 is equal to or larger than twice the screw diameter so that the disc spring washer 3 does not loosen even when used under high vibration. As a method of fastening a plurality of thin metal plates using this fastening member,
Although not shown, a spring plate nut 2 and a plurality of thin metal plates A are set in this order using a device similar to that of FIG. 3, and further, the concave surface 3a side of the disc spring washer 3 faces downward, After abutting on the upper surface A1, the drilling tapping screw 1 may be screwed in from the convex surface 3b side of the disc spring washer 3. By using the disc spring washer 3 in combination in addition to the drilling tapping screw 1 and the spring plate nut 2, more reliable fastening can be realized.
