Method for producing a securing arrangement and securing arrangement
A method of producing fastening assembly ( 10 ) including a series of layers ( 12, 14, 16 ) and a screw ( 18 ), the screw ( 18 ) having a screw head ( 20 ), a shaft ( 24 ), a thread ( 26 ) extending into a displacement tip ( 22 ) and an unthreaded shaft portion ( 28 ). The method includes screwing the screw ( 18 ) into the series of layers ( 12, 14, 16 ), the layer ( 14 ) in the series of layers ( 12, 14, 16 ) that is furthest from the screw head ( 20 ) being deformed in the screw-in direction, so that a thickness D p of the series of layers ( 12, 14, 16 ) is increased in a region around the screw ( 18 ), and continuing to screw in the screw ( 18 ) until the screw head ( 20 ) strikes the series of layers, a maximum thickness D p, max of the series of layers being reached at this moment and the length L F of the unthreaded shaft portion ( 28 ) being up to 10% less than and up to 30% greater than the maximum thickness D p, max of the series of layers.
1. A method for producing a fastening assembly ( 10 ) comprising a series of solid layers ( 12 , 14 , 16 ) that are in contact with one another and a screw ( 18 ), the screw ( 18 ) comprising a screw head ( 20 ) equipped with a driving point, a shaft ( 24 ) extending into a displacement tip ( 22 ), a thread ( 26 ) extending into the displacement tip and an unthreaded shaft portion ( 28 ) arranged between the thread ( 26 ) and the screw head ( 20 ), the method comprising the following steps:
screwing the screw ( 18 ) into the series of solid layers ( 12 , 14 , 16 ), at least one of the layers ( 14 ) in the series of layers ( 12 , 14 , 16 ) that is furthest from the screw head ( 20 ) being deformed in a screw-in direction, so that a thickness D p of the series of solid layers ( 12 , 14 , 16 ) is increased in a region directly around the screw ( 18 ) due to the deformation,
continuing to screw in the screw ( 18 ) until the screw head ( 20 ) contacts and is supported on a flat surface of a first of the series of solid layers, a maximum thickness D p, max of the series of solid layers being reached at this moment and a length L F of the unthreaded shaft portion ( 28 ) is up to 10% less than or up to 30% greater than the maximum thickness D p, max of the series of solid layers.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the length L F of the unthreaded shaft portion ( 28 ) is up to 5% less than or up to 20% greater than the maximum thickness D p, max of the series of solid layers.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the length L F of the unthreaded shaft portion ( 28 ) is up to 3% less than or up to 10% greater than the maximum thickness D p, max of the series of solid layers.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the length L F of the unthreaded shaft portion ( 28 ) is equal to the maximum thickness D p, max of the series of solid layers, so that the screw stops being screwed in when the screw head ( 20 ) strikes the series of solid layers.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the length L F of the unthreaded shaft portion ( 28 ) is less than the maximum thickness D p, max of the series of solid layers, and by continuing to turn the screw, the thickness of the series of solid layers is reduced to a final thickness D p, end of the series of solid layers, the length L F of the unthreaded shaft portion ( 28 ) being equal to the final thickness D p, end of the series of solid layers.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein at least part of the unthreaded shaft portion ( 28 ) has a diameter which is greater than a core diameter of the thread ( 26 ) and less than an outer diameter of the thread.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein at least part of the unthreaded shaft portion ( 28 ) has a diameter which is less than or equal to a core diameter of the thread ( 26 ).
8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the unthreaded shaft portion ( 28 ) has, adjacent to the screw head, a shoulder ( 32 ) having a shaft diameter that is greater than a core diameter of the thread.
9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the thread ( 26 ) comprises, adjacent to the unthreaded shaft portion ( 28 ), a plurality of support points for the series of layers ( 12 , 14 , 16 ) which are an equal distance from the screw head ( 20 ), the support points delimiting the unthreaded shaft portion ( 28 ).
10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the plurality of support points are formed by the thread ( 26 ) extending into a planar, radially extending plane adjacent to the unthreaded shaft portion ( 28 ).
11. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the plurality of support points are formed via a double thread or multiple threads.
12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the unthreaded shaft portion directly adjoins the tip.
13. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising using a screw having a thread diameter of greater than 5.8 mm.
14. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising using a screw having a thread diameter of greater than 6.5 mm.
15. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the layer ( 14 ) that is furthest from the screw head ( 20 ) has a maximum thickness of 1 mm.
16. A fastening assembly ( 10 ), produced in accordance with a method according to claim 1 .
