The screw threaded fastening component comprises: a stud bolt having an external thread; a first connecting part into which a first screw threaded hole adaptive to the stud bolt is formed; a second connecting part into which a second screw threaded hole adaptive to the stud bolt is formed, and a threaded direction of the second screw threaded hole is against the threaded direction of the first screw threaded hole; the first connecting part and the second connecting part being assembled on two ends of the stud bolt through the first screw threaded hole and the second screw threaded hole, respectively, and the first connecting part being engaged against the second connecting part when the stud bolt is rotated in a direction; the stud bolt being contained in the first screw threaded hole and the second screw threaded hole when the first connecting part and the second connecting part are engaged completely. By setting screw threads having opposite direction on the two connecting parts, the two connecting parts engaged against each other from two terminals of the stud bolt, and finally the stud bolt is hidden in the screw threaded holes of the two connecting parts, such that the space is saved and the affection on the appearance of the product caused by the exposed screw head can be prevented.


The present invention is further described below by embodiments combining with the attached drawings.


Embodiment 1

Refer to FIGS. 1-4, the screw threaded fastening component provided by the present embodiment comprises the stud bolt 1, which has an external screw thread 101, and a hex socket 102 is set in the middle of the stud bolt 1 (the hex socket 102 is directly through the surfaces of the two terminals in the present embodiment, but, in other embodiments, the hex socket 102 could be only set on the surface of one terminal of the stud bolt 1 or could be set on the surfaces of the two terminals while being not through the surfaces). The screw threaded fastening component further comprises a first connecting part 2 and a third connecting part 3, wherein a first screw threaded hole 201 and the second screw threaded hole 301 being adaptive to the stud bolt 1 are set on the first connecting part 2 and the second connecting part 3, respectively, and the directions of the screw thread of the first screw threaded hole 201 and the second screw threaded hole 301 are opposite.


As shown in FIG. 3, the first connecting part 2 and the second connecting part 3 are assembled on two terminals of the stud bolt 1 through the first screw threaded hole 201 and the second screw threaded hole 301, respectively. When the stud bolt 1 is rotated in a direction by a hex driver 4 through the hex socket 102, the first connecting part 2 moves against the second connecting part 3, and finally they are engaged together. As shown in FIG. 4, when the first connecting part 2 is completely engaged against the second connecting part 3, the stud bolt is contained in the first screw threaded hole 201 and the second screw threaded hole 301, i.e., the stud bolt 1 does not extrude beyond the surfaces of the first connecting part 2 and the second connecting part 3 such that the stud bolt is hidden in the screw threaded holes of the two connecting parts. The screw head designed in an ordinary screw threaded connection is omitted, such that the space is saved and the affection on the appearance of the product caused by the exposed screw head can be prevented.


Embodiment 2

It is different from the Embodiment 1 that, as shown in FIG. 5, a third screw threaded hole 103 is set in the middle of the stud bolt 1 in the screw threaded fastening component provided in the present embodiment (the third screw threaded hole 103 is directly through the surfaces of the two terminals in the present embodiment, but, in other embodiments, the third screw threaded hole 103 could be only set on the surface of one terminal of the stud bolt 1 or could be set on the surfaces of the two terminals while being not through the surfaces).


In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, when the fastening component is assembled, the first connecting part 2 and the second connecting part 3 are assembled to the two terminals of the stud bolt 1 respectively through the first screw threaded hole 201 and the second screw threaded hole 301 first, and then the screw 5 is assembled into the third screw threaded hole 103 to lock the screw 5 and the stud bolt 1; the screw 5 is further rotated to drive the stud bolt 1 to rotate such that the first connecting part 2 and the second connecting part 3 are moved close to each other and, finally, engaged together. As shown in FIG. 4, when the first connecting part 2 and the second connecting part 3 are completely engaged, the screw 5 is rotated out from the third screw threaded hole 103. Finally, the stud bolt 1 is contained in the first screw threaded hole 201 and the second screw threaded hole 301, and it is achieved that the stud bolt is hidden in the screw threaded holes of the two connecting parts.


Embodiment 3

It is different from the Embodiment 1 that, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, guiding grooves 202 and 302 for respectively connecting to the first screw threaded hole 201 and the second screw threaded hole 301 are set on the first connecting part 2 and the second connecting part 3, and an aperture of the guiding grooves 202 and 302 is greater than the aperture of the first screw threaded hole 201 and the second screw threaded hole 301 in the present embodiment. Wherein, the cross-section of the guiding groove can be designed as a circular or a rectangular. When assembly is proceeded, the stud bolt 1 is inserted into the first connecting part 2 and the second connecting part 3 for a distance through the guiding grooves 202 and 302, and then the stud bolt 1 is rotated to engage the first connecting part 2 and the second connecting part 3 in order to prevent the first connecting part 2 and the second connecting part 3 from shifting.


Embodiment 4

It is different from the Embodiment 1 that, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, a plurality of corresponded aligning holes 203 and 303 set on the first connecting part 2 and the second connecting part 3, respectively, in the present embodiment. When the fastening component is assembled, a lock assisting jig 6 having a plurality of aligning pins 601 is used to pass through the aligning holes 203 and 303 on the first connecting part 2 and the second connecting part 3 for aligning the first connecting part 2 and the second connecting part 3 to ensure that the first connecting part 2 can be vertically engaged with the second connecting part 3 to be prevented from shifting.


In the present embodiment, there are four aligning holes 203 and 303 set on the first connecting part 2 and the second connecting part 3, respectively, and the four aligning holes 203 and 303 are symmetrically distributed around the first screw threaded hole 201 and the second screw threaded hole 301.
