Abstract
A socket structure includes a main body having an outer wall formed with a driving portion and an indication portion. The driving portion has a plurality of successively and longitudinally arranged teeth. The indication portion provides an indication and identification function, thereby facilitating a user identifying features of the socket structure. A method for manufacturing the socket structure includes the steps of: choosing material, forging, coarse grinding, broaching, turning, rolling, hardening, polishing, surface treatment, and forming the product.
Claims12
A socket structure, comprising a main body having an outer wall formed with a driving portion and an indication portion, wherein:
- the driving portion of the main body is formed with a plurality of successively and longitudinally arranged teeth;
- and
- the indication portion of the main body is arranged in an annular manner to provide an indication and identification function, thereby facilitating a user identifying features of the socket structure.
A method for manufacturing a socket structure, comprising the steps of:
- choosing material:
- choosing a hollow cylinder made of steel material;
- forging:
- forging the hollow cylinder into a blank;
- coarse grinding:
- coarse grinding the outer periphery of the blank;
- broaching:
- performing a broaching process on the outer periphery of the blank by a plurality of broaches to integrally form larger teeth and smaller teeth on the outer periphery of the blank;
- turning:
- performing a turning process on a mediate portion of the outer periphery of the blank to remove the larger teeth and the smaller teeth on the mediate portion of the outer periphery of the blank, thereby forming a smooth indication portion on the mediate portion of the outer periphery of the blank and forming two driving portions on the two ends of the outer periphery of the blank;
- rolling:
- performing a rolling process on the indication portion of the outer periphery of the blank to integrally form a plurality of indication bodies and a plurality of indication zones;
- hardening:
- performing a hardening heat treatment on the blank to increase the hardness of the blank;
- polishing:
- performing a polishing process on the surface of the blank;
- surface treatment:
- electroplating, dyeing and coating the surface of the blank;
- and
- product:
- forming the product of the socket structure.
