Intelligent 3D printer with excess material monitoring function

Abstract

The invention relates to an intelligent 3D printer with an excess material monitoring function. The printer comprises a first outer shell, a feeding mechanism, a movable mechanism, a tray, a cleaning mechanism, a base and a center control mechanism. The feeding mechanism comprises a material wire, a material disc, a first supporting frame and a counting mechanism body, the counting mechanism body comprises two counters, and each counter comprises a limiting block, a spring, a first triggering point, a second triggering point and a second outer shell. The cleaning mechanism comprises a second supporting frame, a brush and two driving assemblies, and each driving assembly comprises a driving gear, a driving shaft, a first gear and a first motor. In the intelligent 3D printer with the excess material monitoring function, through the counting mechanism, monitoring of the remaining quantity of the material wire of the 3D printer is achieved, the idle load of the 3D printer under the condition that the material wire is insufficient is avoided, damage caused to the 3D printer by the idle load is reduced, and the service life of the 3D printer is prolonged; and through the cleaning mechanism, cleaning over the surface of the tray is achieved, accumulation of waste of the surface of the tray is reduced, and thus the quality of a finished product of the 3D printer is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of 3D printing equipment, in particular to an intelligent 3D printer with the function of monitoring residual materials. 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] Generally, 3D printers cannot monitor the remaining amount of filament, so after the filament is used up, the 3D printer continues to work, causing damage to the 3D printer and shortening the service life of the 3D printer. Not only that, the internal space of a general 3D printer is small, ...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Generally, 3D printers cannot monitor the remaining amount of filament, so after the filament is used up, the 3D printer continues to work, causing damage to the 3D printer and shortening the service life of the 3D printer. Not only that, the internal space of a general 3D printer is small, It makes it difficult to clean the tray, and the quality of the finished product of the 3D printer is reduced due to the excessive accumulation of material on the surface of the tray.
