Example Embodiment
[0030] Example one:
[0031] This embodiment provides a powder dispensing device, such as figure 1 As shown, it includes a powder spreading platform 11, a hopper 12, a scraper 13, a flat plate 14 and a vibrator 15, in which:
[0032] The powder spreading platform 11 is used as a carrier for powder laying, and is horizontally arranged. There are powder material placement places (not shown in the figure) on both sides of the powder spreading platform 11 for placing powder materials to be laid.
[0033] The hopper 12 is arranged above the two sides of the powder spreading platform 11, and powder materials are placed in the powder material. The hopper 12 is opened at the bottom of the hopper 12 for conveying the powder material therein. In this embodiment, preferably, the above-mentioned two hoppers 12 are arranged symmetrically.
[0034] A flat plate 14 is fixed under the hopper 12, one end of the flat plate 14 is connected with a vibrator 15, and the vibrator 15 is connected to a contro...
Example Embodiment
[0052] Embodiment two:
[0053] In this embodiment, a detection device 3 is added to the additive manufacturing device of the first embodiment. Specifically, such as Picture 8 As shown, the detection device 3 is arranged in the forming chamber 1 and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the forming cylinder 2. In this embodiment, the powder spreading platform 11 is provided with a number of through holes 111 on both sides of the forming cylinder 2. When the scraper 13 is spreading powder materials, part of the powder material will fall into the through holes 111, and the detection device 3 will fall into The amount of powder material in the through hole 111 is detected, and the amount of powder material to be transported next time is adjusted according to the detected result, so as to avoid waste of powder material.
[0054] Specifically, the detection device 3 includes a pipe 31 with one end connected to the through hole 111, a recovery box 32 at the other end of the pipe 31, a...
Example Embodiment
[0057] Example three:
[0058] The difference between this embodiment and the second embodiment lies in the structure of the detection device 3. For details, please refer to Picture 9 The detection device 3 of this embodiment includes a pipe 31 with one end connected to the through hole 111, a recovery box 32 located at the other end of the pipe 31, and a proximity switch 33a located on the pipe 31. In this embodiment, the proximity switch 33a is used to detect the amount of powder material. Specifically, when the powder material passes through the pipe 31, the proximity switch 33a will be blocked, and the proximity switch 33a will generate a pulse signal and the amount of powder material falling into the through hole 111 The larger the value, the longer the time to flow through the pipe 31, the longer the time to block the proximity switch 33a, and the larger the pulse width.
[0059] The detection process of the detection device 3 in this embodiment is as follows:
[0060] In a s...
