Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of 3D printers, in particular to a 3D printer capable of rapidly dissipating heat. Background Art
[0002] A printer is one of the output devices of a computer, used to print the results of computer processing on relevant media. Printers include 3D printers, three-dimensional printing, which is a machine of rapid prototyping technology. It is a technology that uses powdered metal or plastic and other bondable materials as the basis of a digital model file to construct objects by printing layer by layer. In the past, it was often used to make models in the fields of mold manufacturing, industrial design, etc., and is now gradually being used for the direct manufacturing of some products. In particular, some high-value applications (such as hip joints or teeth, or some aircraft parts) already have parts printed using this technology.
[0003] As one of the core components of a 3D printer, the nozzle of a 3D printer largely determines the quality of molding. The smoothness of the filament flowing out of the extruder and the temperature of the filament directly affect the accuracy of 3D printing. However, if the nozzle temperature is too high, other parts will be dissolved and burned, so the nozzle temperature needs to be controlled within a certain range. At present, a cooling fan is usually installed at the nozzle. During the printing process, the vibration generated by the operation of the cooling fan will affect the molding quality of the 3D printer. Summary of the invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a 3D printer that can quickly dissipate heat, which has the advantage of being able to quickly dissipate heat and reduce the temperature of the nozzle, thereby solving the problem of excessive nozzle temperature and poor molding quality of printed objects.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a 3D printer capable of rapid heat dissipation, comprising a protective shell, a working platform being arranged inside the protective shell, a driving device being fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the protective shell, a printing head being arranged at the bottom end of the driving device, a first heat dissipation fin and a second heat dissipation fin being fixedly connected to the surface of the printing head through a heat conducting plate, and a blowing device being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective shell.
[0006] The blowing device includes a rotating shaft and a motor, the surface of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected with a first fan blade and a second fan blade, the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected with a driving gear, the surface of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected with a driven gear, and the driving gear is meshed with the driven gear.
[0007] Preferably, the number of the first heat dissipation fins and the number of the second heat dissipation fins are both two, the two first heat dissipation fins are left-right symmetrical with the print head as the center, and the two second heat dissipation fins are front-back symmetrical with the print head as the center.
[0008] Preferably, the first heat dissipation fin is in a triangular shape, and the opening angle of the first heat dissipation fin is 120 degrees; the second heat dissipation fin is in an arc shape, and the second heat dissipation fin is located outside the first heat dissipation fin.
[0009] Preferably, the number of the blowing devices is two, and the two blowing devices are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the protective shell, and the blowing devices are directly opposite to the first heat dissipation fins.
[0010] Preferably, the diameter of the first fan blade is twice the diameter of the second fan blade, and the first fan blade is located outside the second fan blade.
[0011] Preferably, the diameter of the driving gear is twice the diameter of the driven gear.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] (1) The present invention provides a first heat dissipation fin and a second heat dissipation fin. When wind blows toward the first heat dissipation fin, it will take away the heat on the surface of the first heat dissipation fin. The airflow is diverted by the first heat dissipation fin and directed to the second heat dissipation fin, thereby forming an air reflux, which makes the heat dissipation efficiency higher.
[0014] (2) The present invention uses a first fan blade and a second fan blade. The first fan blade collects airflow and the second fan blade pressurizes the airflow. The heat dissipation speed is related to the air flow and wind pressure. Increasing the wind pressure can greatly improve the heat dissipation efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

There are two blowing devices 8, and the two blowing devices 8 are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the protective shell 1, and the blowing devices 8 are directly opposite to the first heat dissipation fin 6. The air is guided by the first heat dissipation fin 6, so that when the air flows through the first heat dissipation fin 6, it will be separated to both sides along the surface of the first heat dissipation fin 6, so that the air flow continues to flow to the second heat dissipation fin 7, so that the resistance to the air flow is reduced and maximized.
[0020] The blowing device 8 includes a rotating shaft 81 and a motor 84. The surface of the rotating shaft 81 is fixedly connected with a first fan blade 82 and a second fan blade 83. The diameter of the first fan blade 82 is twice the diameter of the second fan blade 83, and the first fan blade 82 is located on the outside of the second fan blade 83. The output shaft of the motor 84 is fixedly connected with a driving gear 85. The surface of the rotating shaft 81 is fixedly connected with a driven gear 86. The driving gear 85 is meshed with the driven gear 86. The diameter of the driving gear 85 is twice the diameter of the driven gear 86. Since the diameter of the driving gear 85 is larger, the driven gear 86 will rotate multiple times for every rotation of the driving gear 85, thereby increasing the rotation speed of the rotating shaft 81, making the air flow stronger and enhancing the heat dissipation effect.
[0021] When in use, the motor 84 operates to drive the first fan blade 82 and the second fan blade 83 to rotate. The airflow is collected by the first fan blade 82, and the airflow is pressurized by the second fan blade 83. The heat dissipation speed is related to the air flow and wind pressure. Increasing the wind pressure can greatly improve the heat dissipation efficiency. When the wind blows towards the first heat dissipation fin 6, it will take away the heat on the surface of the first heat dissipation fin 6, and the airflow is diverted by the first heat dissipation fin 6 and directed to the second heat dissipation fin 7, thereby forming an air reflux, which makes the heat dissipation efficiency higher.
[0022] In summary: (1) the present invention provides a first heat dissipation fin 6 and a second heat dissipation fin 7. When wind blows toward the first heat dissipation fin 6, it will take away the heat on the surface of the first heat dissipation fin 6, and the airflow will be diverted by the first heat dissipation fin 6 and directed to the second heat dissipation fin 7, thereby forming an air reflux, which makes the heat dissipation efficiency higher.
[0023] (2) The present invention uses the first fan blade 82 and the second fan blade 83. The first fan blade 82 collects the airflow and the second fan blade 83 pressurizes the airflow. The heat dissipation speed is related to the air flow and wind pressure. Increasing the wind pressure can greatly improve the heat dissipation efficiency.
