Forming cylinder taking-out device and forming cylinder taking-out type 3D metal printing equipment

Abstract

The invention relates to a forming cylinder taking-out device and forming cylinder taking-out type 3D metal printing equipment, the forming cylinder taking-out device comprises a cylinder body moving module, a linear guide rail, a cylinder body driving module, a cylinder body positioning module and a cylinder body clamping module, and the cylinder body moving module is located above the linear guide rail and connected with a sliding block of the linear guide rail; the cylinder body driving module is connected with the cylinder body moving module and used for driving the cylinder body moving module to move between the cylinder body printing station and the cylinder body taking station along the linear guide rail. The cylinder body positioning module is mounted on the cylinder body moving module and is used for positioning the formed cylinder body; the cylinder body clamping modules are located on the two sides of the cylinder body printing station and used for clamping and fixing the formed cylinder body. Manual intervention is not needed in the process operation of installing and taking out the forming cylinder, the automation degree is high, batch production can be achieved, personnel participation is reduced, harm of powder to people is reduced, the labor cost is saved, and the working efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of selective melting equipment, and in particular relates to a forming cylinder extraction device and a forming cylinder extraction type 3D metal printing equipment. Background technique [0002] Since the printing depth of the 3D metal printing equipment is higher than the height space inside the forming chamber, and because the formed parts of the large equipment are too heavy, and taking the parts in the forming chamber will cause pollution of the optical lens, the forming cylinder needs to be transferred when the parts are taken out Or move the forming cabin to realize the removal of formed parts. However, the existing cylinder block removal and reloading mechanism adopts the cylinder body to be moved in place and the cylinder body is lifted and suspended by the lifting module, and reaches the top positioning module to realize the positioning of the cylinder body. Its lifting structure is complicated, a...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Its lifting structure is complicated, and it must be ensured that it is in the same plane after lifting. The positioning requirements are high, and there are many steps in the logic of cylinder extraction. It is easy to cause failures and interruptions during automatic installation.

[0003] In addition, the current integrated equipment for pick-up and printing cannot perform powder cleaning during printing, and printing operation cannot be performed during powder cleaning, resulting in low equipment efficiency, and the high integration of equipment increases the failure rate, and the efficiency of mass production is low. The equipment cannot work continuously, and the labor cost will also rise accordingly
