[0016] A method for 3D printing jewelry, using a jewelry 3D printer, includes the following steps:

[0017] S1: The filament supply system supplies filament to the printhead system;

[0018] S2: The printhead lifting system drives the printhead system to rise and fall;

[0019] S3: The printhead lateral movement system drives the printhead system to move laterally;

[0020] S4: The platform longitudinal movement system drives the substrate to move;

[0021] S5: The filament extrusion device pulls the filament downward, the wiring system automatically connects the wires, the print head system is used to melt the material, and the powder supply system is turned on to dye the molten material;

[0022] S6: The blower system rapidly cools the molten material to prevent the freshly printed material from collapsing and deforming.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0024] Both filament feeding systems are mounted on the printer frame for filament feeding. A filament extrusion device is located above the printhead system, which feeds the filament downwards. The two filament feeding systems alternately to ensure a continuous supply of material. The wiring system is slidably mounted on the filament extrusion device. Because the wiring system is slidable, it slides downwards with the filament as the extrusion device pulls it, ensuring that the wiring system can perform wiring operations during filament transport without stopping the filament feed. The printhead system and the blower system are both mounted on the printhead traverse system, thus achieving the blower system... The system continuously blows airflow towards the end of the printhead system to help the material cool and solidify quickly after extrusion. The printhead traverse system drives the printhead system to move laterally. The toner supply system is installed at the output end of the printhead system to supply toner, thereby enabling the material to form textures during printing. The platform longitudinal movement system is installed on the printer frame to achieve longitudinal movement of the workpiece.

An extrusion cylinder is integrally installed in the middle of the mixing tube and is connected to the output end of the printhead system. The extrusion cylinder has a powder inlet hole. A blowing motor that drives the blowing fan to rotate is installed on the mixing tube. The blowing fan drives the color powder to be sprayed from the powder inlet hole onto the molten material. The mixing tube is pre-pressurized to prevent the molten material from overflowing from the powder inlet hole into the mixing tube, thus realizing the dyeing extrusion of the molten material. When the powder is used up, the sealing plug is opened to replenish it. Since the powder in the mixing tube is only one color, this technical solution can only print single-color workpieces. However, by controlling the speed and start / stop of the blowing motor, the amount of powder can be controlled, and the color depth of different areas of the workpiece can be varied.

[0050] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0051] like Figure 1 — Figure 8As shown, this embodiment provides a jewelry 3D printer, including a printer frame 1, two filament feeding systems 2, a wiring system 9, a print head system 3, a print head transverse movement system 4, a platform longitudinal movement system 5, a powder supply system 6, a blower system 7, and a print head lifting system 8. Both filament feeding systems 2 are mounted on the printer frame 1 for feeding filament. A filament extrusion device 32 is provided on the upper side of the print head system 3, which conveys the filament downwards. The two filament feeding systems 2 are used to alternately feed filament, ensuring a continuous supply of material. The wiring system 9 is slidably mounted on the filament extrusion device 32. Because the wiring system 9 is slidable, when the filament extrusion device 32 pulls the filament, the wiring system 9 slides downwards with the filament, ensuring that the wiring system 9 can achieve wiring during filament transportation. The printhead system 3 and the blower system 7 are both mounted on the printhead traverse system 4, so that the blower system 7 always blows airflow to the end of the printhead system 3, which helps the material cool and solidify quickly after extrusion. The printhead traverse system 4 drives the printhead system 3 to move laterally. The powder supply system 6 is installed on the output end of the printhead system 3 to supply toner, so that the material forms texture during printing. The platform longitudinal movement system 5 is installed on the printer frame 1 to realize the longitudinal movement of the workpiece. The platform longitudinal movement system 5 is located on the lower side of the printhead system 3. The movement directions of the printhead traverse system 4 and the platform longitudinal movement system 5 are perpendicular to each other. The printhead traverse system 4 is mounted on the printhead lifting system 8, so as to realize the lifting of the printhead system 3.

[0052] The powder supply system 6 includes a blowing fan 62 and a mixing tube 61. The mixing tube 61 is installed at the output end of the printhead system 3, and a sealing plug 64 is installed at the end of the mixing tube 61. The blowing fan 62 is rotatably installed inside the mixing tube 61. An extrusion cylinder 63 is integrally provided in the middle of the mixing tube 61. The extrusion cylinder 63 is connected to the output end of the printhead system 3. The extrusion cylinder 63 is provided with a powder inlet hole 6311. A blowing motor that drives the blowing fan 62 to rotate is installed on the mixing tube 61. The blowing fan 62 drives the toner from the powder inlet hole. 6311 is sprayed onto the molten material. The mixing tube 61 is pre-pressurized to prevent the molten material from overflowing from the powder inlet 6311 into the mixing tube 61, thus achieving the dyeing and extrusion of the molten material. After the powder is used up, the sealing plug 64 is opened to replenish it. It is worth noting that since the powder in the mixing tube 61 is only one color, this technical solution can only print monochrome workpieces. However, by controlling the speed and start / stop of the blowing motor, the amount of powder can be controlled, and the color depth of different areas of the workpiece can be varied.

[0053] For ease of description, the previous thread is defined as old material, and the next thread is defined as new material.

[0054] The wiring system 9 includes a wiring action slider 91, a new material pushing device 92, a new material fixing device 93, a used material fixing device 94, and a welding device 95. The wiring action slider 91 has a parallel cavity 911, a discharge cavity 912, and a cooling air passage 913. The new material pushing device 92 and the new material fixing device 93 are installed opposite each other at the bottom of the parallel cavity 911, with the pushing direction of the new material pushing device 92 pointing towards the new material fixing device 93. The cooling air passage 913 is located below the parallel cavity 911, and the welding device 95 is installed inside the cooling air passage 913. The used material fixing device 94 is installed inside the wiring action slider 91, and the used material fixing device 94 moves towards... During normal printing, the old material is extruded in the direction of the discharge chamber 912. The old material passes through the parallel chamber 911 and the discharge chamber 912 sequentially, while the head of the new material is manually pulled into the parallel chamber 911 to wait until the old material is extracted from the parallel chamber 911. Due to the lack of old material, the new material pushing device 92 pushes the new material to fit against the new material fixing device 93. At the same time, the old material fixing device 94 clamps the old material, and the downward pulling force of the old material is transmitted to the wiring action slider 91 through the old material fixing device 94, causing the wiring action slider 91 to descend with the old material. The welding device 95 extrudes molten material into the gap between the new material and the old material. Because the wiring action slider 91 descends with the old material, Nitrogen gas is introduced into the cooling air passage 913 to rapidly cool and melt the material, so that the old material and the new material are welded. Then, the new material pushing device 92, the new material fixing device 93 and the old material fixing device 94 retract and detach from the combination of the old material and the new material. The wiring action slider 91 rises again to reset. A reset spring 96 is provided on the lower side of the wiring action slider 91 to push the wiring action slider 91 to reset.

[0055] To ensure that the old material is always located on the side of the parallel cavity 911 near the new material fixing device 93 and the old material fixing device 94, the print head system 3 is provided with a limiting ring 33 with a preset opening. The limiting ring 33 pulls the new material to always be located on the side of the parallel cavity 911 near the new material fixing device 93 and the old material fixing device 94. This makes it easier for the next thread to be pushed towards the new material fixing device 93 by the new material pushing device 92, ensuring the continuous operation of the equipment.

[0056] The new material pushing device 92 includes a new material pushing reference electromagnet 921 and a new material pushing slider 922. The new material pushing reference electromagnet 921 is mounted on the wiring action slider 91, and the new material pushing slider 922 is slidably mounted on the wiring action slider 91. The new material pushing reference electromagnet 921 pushes the new material pushing slider 922 to slide, realizing the lateral pushing of the new material, and the reset of the new material pushing slider 922 itself after receiving the material. The new material fixing device 93 includes a new material fixing reference electromagnet 931 and a new material fixing slider 932. The new material fixing reference electromagnet 931 is mounted on the wiring action slider 91, and the new material fixing slider 932 is slidably mounted on the wiring action slider 91. The new material fixing reference electromagnet 931 pushes the new material fixing slider 932 to slide, thereby fixing the new material and resetting the new material fixing slider 932 itself. The old material fixing device 94 includes an old material fixing reference electromagnet 941 and an old material fixing slider 942. The old material fixing reference electromagnet 941 is mounted on the wiring action slider 91, and the old material fixing slider 942 is slidably mounted on the wiring action slider 91. The old material fixing reference electromagnet 941 pushes the old material fixing slider 942 to slide, thereby pushing the old material laterally and resetting the old material fixing slider 942 itself after receiving the material. Both the new material fixing slider 932 and the old material fixing slider 942 are provided with serrations for fixing the wire.

[0057] It is worth noting that the new material pushing slider 922 is equipped with a permanent magnet. After the new material pushing reference electromagnet 921 changes the magnetic field, the permanent magnet changes its own direction of movement. The new material fixing slider 932 is equipped with a permanent magnet. After the new material fixing reference electromagnet 931 changes the magnetic field, the permanent magnet changes its own direction of movement. The old material fixing slider 942 is equipped with a permanent magnet. After the old material fixing reference electromagnet 941 changes the magnetic field, the permanent magnet changes its own direction of movement. The new material pushing slider 922, the old material fixing slider 942, and the new material fixing slider 932 all slide through a slide rail slider.

[0058] The welding apparatus 95 includes a solder injection tube with an electric heating wire wound around its outer circumference to maintain the solder injection temperature.

[0059] Because it takes time for the new material to push the slider 922 towards the old material fixed slider 942, a gap naturally forms between the old and new materials when the old material is continuously conveyed, which facilitates the injection of molten material into the solder injection pipe and makes welding easier.

The support frame 11 is mounted on the support base 12, and the two ends of the diagonal brace 13 are mounted on the support frame 11 and the support base 12 respectively, thereby ensuring the stability of the support frame 11.
