Abstract

A screw includes a head and a threaded rod connected to the head. An annular protrusion is provided on a surface of the head located on a threaded rod side. When two connecting members are connected by the screw, the annular protrusion of the screw abuts against one of the two connecting members to form a tightly abutting structure to achieve sealing.

Claims (29)

1 . A screw, comprising:

a head; and

a threaded rod connected to the head;

wherein an annular protrusion is provided on a surface of the head located on a threaded rod side.

2 . The screw according to claim 1 , wherein:

on a cross section at which a central axis of the annular protrusion is located, the annular protrusion has any one of a triangular cross section and an arc-shaped cross section.

3 . The screw according to claim 1 , wherein:

the head has a plum-shaped top and a cap edge extending radially more outward than the top, the annular protrusion being disposed on the cap edge.

4 . The screw according to claim 1 , wherein:

on the surface of the head located on the threaded rod side, the annular protrusion has an annular sealant application portion radially outward.

5 . The screw according to claim 4 , wherein the sealant application portion is coated with a sealant.

6 . The screw according to claim 1 , wherein:

the screw is a flow drill screw, and

an annular groove is provided radially inward of the annular protrusion.

7 . The screw according to claim 6 , wherein a sealant is applied in the annular groove.

8 . The screw according to claim 1 , wherein the annular protrusion surrounds the threaded rod, and the annular protrusion and the threaded rod are spaced apart.

9 . A connection structure, comprising:

a first connecting member;

a second connecting member; and

the screw according to claim 1 , connecting the first connecting member and the second connecting member.

10 . The connection structure according to claim 9 , wherein:

in a connected state, the annular protrusion of the screw abuts against one of the first connecting member and the second connecting member; and

on a surface at which one of the first connecting member and the second connecting member abuts against the annular protrusion, an annular indentation engaged with the annular protrusion is formed.

11 . The connection structure according to claim 10 , wherein:

in the connected state, radially outward of the annular protrusion, a sealant is present between the head and a surface of a head-contacting one of the first connecting member and the second connecting member.

12 . The connection structure according to claim 10 , wherein:

a sealant is provided in an annular groove radially inward of the annular protrusion.

13 . A battery, comprising the screw according to claim 1 .

14 . An electric apparatus, comprising the battery according to claim 13 .
