3D printer continuous printing system with automatic discharging and replacing functions

Abstract

The invention discloses a 3D printer continuous printing system with the automatic discharging and replacing functions. The 3D printer continuous printing system comprises a printer, a replacing platform arranged on the left side of the printer, a mechanical arm arranged above the replacing platform and an automatic discharging and replacing device arranged below the printer. The automatic discharging and replacing device comprises horizontal polished shafts, a controller, a driver and a replacing plate. One end of each horizontal polished shaft is connected to the printer and the other end of each horizontal polished shaft is connected to the replacing platform. The replacing plate is installed on the horizontal polished shafts in a sliding manner. The driver drives the replacing plate to move along the horizontal polished shafts and is connected to the controller. The controller is connected to the printer. A blanking hole is formed in the replacing plate. The shape of the blanking hole is matched with that of the printing platform. Blanking devices are arranged on the periphery of the blanking hole in the replacing plate and connected to the controller. By the adoption of the printing system, the 3D printer can conduct automatic continuous production under the condition of unmanned observation, and benefits can be increased for an enterprise.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of 3D printing, in particular to a continuous printing system for a 3D printer with automatic unloading and refueling. Background technique [0002] 3D printer, also known as three-dimensional printer, is a kind of additive manufacturing technology, that is, a machine of rapid prototyping technology. It is based on a digital model file and uses special wax, powdered metal or plastic and other bondable materials. Three-dimensional objects are created by printing layers of adhesive materials. It is often used to make models in the fields of mold manufacturing and industrial design, and is gradually used in the direct manufacture of some products. There are already parts printed using this technology. The technology has applications in jewelry, footwear, industrial design, architecture, engineering and construction (AEC), automotive, aerospace, dental and medical industries, education, geographic information s...

Problems solved by technology

For example, each printing needs to be unpacked after printing, and the printer needs to be printed again. These operations need to be completed by personnel, and the degree of automation is low.

Since the working time of personnel is generally 8 hours during the day, the working time of a 3D printer is also 8 hours during the day. Once no one is operating and the printer finishes printing, the printer will be in an idle state.

This manual-led processing method greatly reduces the efficiency of the printer
