Online monitor of operating state of 3D (three-dimensional) printer

Abstract

The invention provides an online monitor of operating state of a 3D (three-dimensional) printer. The online monitor comprises a data collecting and processing module and a power module. The data collecting and processing module comprises a microprocessor, a camera, a temperature-humidity sensor module, an acceleration sensor, a communication module, a sound-light alarm, a circuit break protector, a liquid crystal display and a key input module. The camera collects a picture of a nozzle and a workpiece when the 3D printer runs; the temperature-humidity sensor module collects nozzle information, temperature of a bottom plate and ambient temperature-humidity information; the acceleration sensor module measures acceleration of the bottom plate in real time; the microprocessor processes all of the information and transmits the information to an computer and the liquid crystal display for displaying. When temperature-humidity parameters or an acceleration parameter exceed a set range, the online monitor powers off the 3D printer through the circuit break protector to allow emergency protection.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an online monitoring device for the working state of a 3D printer, specifically a device with real-time detection and display of the working state such as motion parameters and working environment. Background technique [0002] As an emerging processing equipment, 3D printers have increasingly broad application prospects and market potential. At present, most 3D printers on the market are based on the principle of FDM, that is, the principle of fused deposition manufacturing. The raw materials of this type of 3D printer are generally thermoplastic materials, such as wax, ABS, nylon, etc. [0003] During the processing, the operator needs to pay attention to the processing status of the workpiece and the operation of the equipment, but the 3D printers currently on the market do not provide the operator with corresponding convenient functions. The raw materials of FDM 3D printers will produce unpleasant smell in the molten stat...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] During the processing, the operator needs to pay attention to the processing status of the workpiece and the operation of the equipment, but the 3D printers currently on the market do not provide the corresponding convenient functions for the operator

The raw materials of FDM 3D printers will produce unpleasant smell in the melting state, and prolonged inhalation will affect human health

Moreover, due to the presence of heating components, operators are prone to accidents such as burns when observing the workpiece

[0004] In addition, the existing 3D printers do not have the function of real-time monitoring and display of key processing parameters such as motion parameters and heating component temperature, and cannot provide intuitive and accurate feedback information for operators, which brings inconvenience to the operation
