Embodiment 1

[0020] Embodiment one, such as figure 1 As shown, the present embodiment is a kind of equipment for recycling 3D printing consumables, including a pulverizer 1, a new material feeder 2, an extruder 3, an extrusion die 4 arranged at the discharge end of the extruder 3, a set At the cooling box 5 of the discharge side of the extrusion die 4 and the coiler 6 arranged at the discharge side of the cooling box 5, the discharge port of the pulverizer 1 and the new material feeder 2 passes through the feed pipe 7 and extrudes The feeding port of machine 3 is connected. In this embodiment, the extruder 3 is a screw extruder, which can continuously extrude materials.

[0021] When working, the equipment used in this embodiment to recycle and regenerate 3D printing consumables is to crush the reclaimed 3D printing consumables and add them to the extruder 3 together with new materials. The materials are heated and melted in the extruder 3 and then extruded. The material is then cooled b...

Embodiment 2

[0023] Embodiment 2, the method for recycling 3D printing consumables in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0024] (1) Send the recovered 3D printing materials into the pulverizer 1 for crushing, and use the feeder to send the crushed material to the extruder 3 through the feeding pipe 7, and at the same time add the new material to the new material feeder 2, and use the feeder Send the new material into the extruder 3 through the feed pipe 7; the feeder can be a screw feeder or other forms of feeder;

[0025] (2), control the extruder 3 to extrude the material from the extrusion die 4;

[0026] (3), the regenerated material that comes out from extrusion die 4 is cooled by cooling box 5;

[0027] (4), control the winder 6 to wind up the recycled material coming out from the cooling box 5 .

[0028] This embodiment is used to recycle the method of 3D printing consumables, which uses a feeder to transport broken materials and new materials, so that the materials c...

Abstract

The invention discloses a device and method for recycling regenerative 3D (Three-Dimensional) printing consumables. The device comprises a crushing machine, a new material feeder, an extruder, an extrusion die head, a cooling box and a winder arranged at the discharge side of the cooling box, wherein the crushing machine and the new material feeder are connected with the feeding opening of the extruder by virtue of a feeding pipe; a first spiral feeding machine is arranged at the discharge opening of the crushing machine; a second spiral feeding machine is arranged at the discharge opening of the new material feeder. According to the device and the method, the recycled 3D printing consumables are crushed and are added into the extruder together with new materials; the recycled 3D printing consumables and the new materials are treated by virtue of the extruder, the cooling box and the winder so as to regenerate a 3D printing material, so as to realize regeneration of waste materials; meanwhile, the feeding machines are used for conveying crushed materials and the new materials, so that the materials can smoothly enter the extruder along the feeding pipe under aerospace microgravity and the problem that the materials wander and are hard to convey under microgravity is solved; meanwhile, the problem of material leakage can also be avoided by conveying the material through the feeding pipe and no surrounding environment pollution is caused.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a material regeneration device, in particular to a regeneration device for 3D printing consumables. Background technique [0002] Rapid additive manufacturing technology, also known as "3D printing technology", is a new manufacturing technology that is currently receiving high attention. Together with robotics and artificial intelligence, it is called the key technology to promote the third industrial revolution. [0003] If you put a 3D printer in space, and then print the materials directly into the required space structures or vehicles as needed, you will no longer need to build things on earth and then transport them to space, which will greatly reduce the launch. costs, and revolutionize space exploration and commercialization. [0004] The fused deposition method is a widely used 3D printing technology. It heats and melts the filamentary hot-melt material, and at the same time, the 3D printing nozzle selectively coats th...
