An automated 3D printer based on the Internet of Things

Abstract

The invention relates to an automatic 3D printer based on the Internet of Things. The automatic 3D printer comprises a pedestal, a pushing mechanism, a top board, a guiding mechanism, a material disk, a wire feeding pipe, a lifting mechanism, a heating unit, a print head and four supporting columns. The pushing mechanism comprises a push plate and two pushing units. The pushing unit comprises a second driving motor, a buffer block, a second driving shaft and a slip ring. The guiding mechanism comprises a first driving motor, a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod, a slide bar, a lantern ring, a guide tube and two fixed blocks. Two guide units are arranged inside the guide tube. The guide unit comprises a pressure sensor, a spring and a guide vane. According to the automatic 3D printer based on the Internet of Things, the guiding mechanism drives the guide tube to move and then the wire feeding pipe orderly and safely delivers wires to the heating unit, thus avoiding printing failure due to wire intertwining. Through the pushing mechanism, the push plate pushes a printing sample to leave the printing area so as to conveniently realize repeated batch printing of samples. According to the invention, practicality of the equipment is raised.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of 3D printing, in particular to an automatic 3D printer based on the Internet of Things. Background technique [0002] 3D printer, also known as three-dimensional printer, is a kind of accumulative manufacturing technology, that is, a machine of rapid prototyping technology. Layers of bonded material are used to create three-dimensional objects. At this stage, 3D printers are used to manufacture products. Objects are constructed by printing layer by layer, and data and raw materials are put into the 3D printer. The machine will manufacture products layer by layer according to the program. [0003] With the rise of 3D printers, the relative problems of 3D printing technology have gradually increased, especially the existing 3D printers have a low degree of automation, which is specifically manifested in the fact that after a 3D printer prints a sample, it needs to be taken away.

Problems solved by technology

[0003] With the rise of 3D printers, the relative problems of 3D printing technology have gradually increased, especially the existing 3D printers have a low degree of automation, which is specifically manifested in the fact that after a 3D printer prints a sample, it needs to be taken away. In order to continue the printing operation, it usually takes tens of minutes or even several hours for a 3D printer to print a sample. Therefore, the existing 3D printer cannot realize automatic batch printing. At the same time, during the printing process of the 3D printer, the material tray The filaments on the top are easily entangled with each other. In this case, the filaments cannot go down, which makes it impossible to transport printing materials into the heating device, resulting in interruption of the printing process.
