Title: Screw capable of easily drilling holes and dregs removing

Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention relates to screws, and in particular to a screw capable of easily drilling of holes and with the function of dregs removing. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Screws have different features based on the objects to be drilled. These features are aimed at to have preferred drilling speed, high dregs removing rate, and easiness in drilling operation. However, the dregs generated in drilling will be left in the drilling hole, but this residue left in the hole is possible to cause that the object to be drilled cracks. The main reason of such a defect is that the dregs left in the hole will further expand the hole to have a larger size, as a result the object to be drilled cracks. A further reason is that the outer diameter of the screw head is larger than an inner diameter of the hole. Then the screw head is embedded into the hole, it is possible that the hole will crack. It is desired to cut, expand and smooth the hole before embedding the screw head so that the larger screw head can be flatly embedded into the hole with an easy and comfortable operation. Furthermore, no cracking forms and the edge of the hole is smooth. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The object of the present invention is to provide a screw capable of drilling holes easily and removing dregs effectively, which has the advantages of providing a screw by which the screw head can be easily embedded into the drilling hole with a crack-proof effect; proving a screw by which the drilling hole can be cut and expanded before embedding the screw head for dregs removing so that the screw head can be embedding to the drilling hole smoothly; providing a screw by which the edge of the drilling hole will not expose out. 
     To achieve above object, the present invention provides a screw capable of easily drilling holes and dregs removing, comprising: a head and a stem extending from a lower portion of the head; the head and the stem being formed integrally; the head being formed by an upper portion and a lower portion; the upper portion being a round disk with flat upper surface; and the lower portion being an expanding from a lower side of the round disk and being connected to the stem; a lower surface of the round disk disconnected to the lower portion is formed as an annular ring; wherein the annular ring of the round disk of the head is formed with a plurality of inclined protrusion; the recesses between the protrusions extend from an inner edge of the round ring to an outer edge of the round ring and are arranged along un-radial paths; and a periphery of the lower portion of the head is formed with at least one knife sheet which extends from the annular ring of the round disk of the head to the stem with a predetermined distance; and the direction of the knife sheet is inclined to an axis of the lower portion of the head.
