[0019] Grid components have the advantages of being lightweight, cost-saving, saving raw materials, and having strong load-bearing capacity. Therefore, they are widely used in the industry.

[0020] Since 3D printing devices can easily manufacture mesh components with complex structures, 3D printing devices are widely used in manufacturing mesh components.

[0021] In order to print out mesh components, existing 3D printing devices usually use multiple independent print heads to feed wires simultaneously, where different print heads are responsible for printing different parts of the mesh components. However, such 3D printing devices need to be equipped with corresponding feeding devices and feeding parts for the multiple print heads, resulting in a relatively complex structure and control method of such 3D printing devices.

[0022] In addition, for some print heads with complex structures, printing grid components is more challenging. For example, the print head can use an extrusion port that can support one-time surface forming (i.e., an extrusion port whose length can change with the change of the cross-sectional contour line of the part to be printed, and the relevant description can be found in WO2018 / 205149 A1, WO2020 / 087359 A1, etc.). This print head extrusion port has a one-dimensional strip feature, that is, the length of the extrusion port in one dimension is much greater than its length in another dimension, and the extrusion port can change its length in the one-dimensional direction as the cross-sectional contour of the part to be printed changes, thereby forming a variable-length narrow slot extrusion port, so that the material filling of the entire cross section can be completed on the current forming layer through a unidirectional movement along the cross-sectional contour of the current forming layer. The 3D printing method with this extrusion port feature is generally referred to as "fused sheet deposition 3D printing" (FSD for short). Therefore, for FSD, it is usually possible to achieve material filling of the entire cross section as a whole, and it is difficult to print grid components.

[0023] In view of the above problems, the present application provides a 3D printing device with a simple structure. The structure of the 3D printing device is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the 3D printing device 10 includes a feeding device 105 and a material input part 103 .

[0025] The feeding device 105 can be used to convey flowable materials (or molten materials). The type of the feeding device 105 can be selected according to actual needs, for example, it can be a screw feeding device or a hydraulic feeding device.

[0026] The material feeding part 103 may be connected (fluidically connected) to the feeding device 105 . The material feeding part 103 includes an inlet 107 and an outlet 108 for the material. The material feeding part 103 may be used to transport the material provided by the feeding device 105 to the discharge part 101 .

[0027] The discharge portion 101 of the 3D printing device 10 may include a first row of extrusion holes 102 (see Figure 1 ) and a second row of extrusion holes 106 (see Figure 2 ). The material conveyed by the feeding part 103 can be extruded outward through the first row of extrusion holes 102 or the second row of extrusion holes 106 of the discharge part 101, such as being extruded onto a printing platform (not shown in the figure). The first row of extrusion holes 102 and the second row of extrusion holes 106 can be respectively connected to the outlet 108 of the feeding part 103 under different working conditions.

[0028] The material outlet 108 may be a groove. The embodiment of the present application does not impose any particular limitation on the cross-sectional shape of the groove, for example, it may be a narrow and long rectangular groove, or a trapezoid or other shapes.

[0029] The present embodiment does not specifically limit the structure of the discharge portion 101 and the positions of the first row of extrusion holes 102 and the second row of extrusion holes 106 on the discharge portion 101. Figure 3 As shown, the material discharging portion 101 may be a shielding plate, which is arranged outside the material feeding portion 103. The first row of extrusion holes 102 and the second row of extrusion holes 106 may be arranged at different positions of the shielding plate, respectively.

[0030] For example, Figure 4 As shown, the feeding part 103 can be a cylindrical inner cylinder, and the discharging part 101 is a sleeve arranged outside the inner cylinder. The first row of extrusion holes 102 and the second row of extrusion holes 106 can be arranged at different positions of the circumference of the sleeve, and the first row of extrusion holes 102 and the second row of extrusion holes 106 can be arranged along the axis of the sleeve.

[0031] The hole spacing of the first row of extrusion holes 102 is different from the hole spacing of the second row of extrusion holes 106. For example, the hole spacing of the first row of extrusion holes 102 is smaller than the hole spacing of the second row of extrusion holes 106. In other words, the arrangement of the extrusion holes in the first row of extrusion holes 102 is relatively dense, and the arrangement of the extrusion holes in the second row of extrusion holes 106 is relatively sparse. The different densities of the first row of extrusion holes 102 and the second row of extrusion holes 106 enable the two to be used for printing different forms of mesh components.

[0032] The 3D printing device 10 further includes a control unit 104. The control unit 104 can be used to control the first row of extrusion holes 102 or the second row of extrusion holes 106 to be in fluid communication with the outlet 108 of the feeding unit 103, so as to extrude a row of filamentary materials at the same time. Figure 8 (b) When the grid structure has a high density, the first row of extrusion holes 102 with a small hole spacing can be controlled to be fluidically connected to the outlet 108, and the first row of extrusion holes 102 can be used to perform layer-by-layer 3D printing; when printing as shown in FIG. Figure 8 In the case of a grid component with a relatively low density as shown in (a), the second row of extrusion holes 106 with a relatively large hole spacing can be controlled to be fluidically connected to the outlet 108, and the second row of extrusion holes 106 can be used to perform layer-by-layer 3D printing.

[0033] The control part 104 can be controlled in various ways. For example, when the structure of the discharge part 101 is as follows Figure 3 When the shielding plate is provided, the control part 104 can control the shielding plate-shaped material discharging part 101 and the material feeding part 103 to slide relative to each other, so as to select a row of extrusion holes in fluid communication with the outlet 108 of the material feeding part 103 from the first row of extrusion holes 102 and the second row of extrusion holes 106. For another example, when the structure of the material discharging part 101 is as follows Figure 4 When the sleeve is shown, the control part 104 can control the relative rotation of the sleeve-shaped discharge part 101 and the cylindrical feeding part 103 to select a row of extrusion holes from the first row of extrusion holes 102 and the second row of extrusion holes 106 that are fluidically connected to the outlet 108 of the feeding part.

[0034] The extrusion holes in the 3D printing device 10 share the same feeding device and feeding part, so the structure and control method of the 3D printing device 10 can be simplified. In addition, since the 3D printing device 10 can switch between multiple rows of extrusion holes with different hole spacings, grid components with different densities can be easily printed.

[0035] The control part 104 can also be used to control the discharge part 101 and the feed part 103 to move in a first direction (the first direction can be the arrangement direction of the first row of extrusion holes 102 or the length direction of the outlet 108 of the feed part 103, i.e., Figure 1 and Figure 2The relative movement between the discharge portion 101 and the feed portion 103 along the first direction will cause some of the extrusion holes in the first row of extrusion holes 102 that were originally connected to the feed portion outlet 108 to move outside the area where the feed portion outlet 108 is located, thereby being in a blocked state. Therefore, the above control method of the control portion 104 can change the number of extrusion holes in the first row of extrusion holes 102 that are fluidically connected to the feed portion outlet 108. In this way, the 3D printing device 10 can adjust the number of extrusion holes according to the specific structure of the grid component to be printed, thereby improving the flexibility of the 3D printing device 10.

[0036] During the 3D printing process, it is often necessary to pause the printing process. For example, when printing to the edge of the contour of the section, it is necessary to pause the printing process, move the 3D printing device to a new printing starting point, and then continue the subsequent printing process. Since the materials used in 3D printing technology (such as polymer materials) are usually viscoelastic, when the feeding device stops conveying the material, the flow of the material usually does not stop suddenly. At this time, the material will continue to accumulate outside the contour edge of the section to be printed, destroying the contour shape of the printed section and reducing the geometric accuracy of the printed part.

[0037] In order to solve the above problem, in some embodiments, when the first row of extrusion holes 102 is fluidically connected to the outlet 108 of the feed part 103, the control part 104 can control the relative movement of the feed part 103 and the discharge part 101, so that all the extrusion holes in the first row of extrusion holes 102 and the feed part outlet 108 are simultaneously misaligned.

[0038] For example, in Figure 3 In the embodiment shown, the control part 104 can control the shielding plate-shaped discharging part 101 to move from Figure 3 Slide to the position shown in (a) Figure 3 The position shown in (b) causes all the extrusion holes in the first row of extrusion holes 102 and the outlet 108 of the feed portion to be simultaneously misaligned.

[0039] For example, in Figure 4 In the embodiment shown, the control part 104 can control the inner cylindrical feeding part 103 and the sleeve-shaped discharging part 101 to move from Figure 4 (a) is rotated to Figure 4 (b) makes all the extrusion holes of the first row of extrusion holes 102 and the outlet 108 of the feeding part 103 misaligned at the same time.

[0040] like Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, a third row of extrusion holes 109 may be provided in the outlet 108 of the feeding portion 103. The material in the feeding portion 103 may be extruded to the outside of the feeding portion 103 through the third row of extrusion holes 109. In order to make the third row of extrusion holes 109 better cooperate with both the first row of extrusion holes 102 and the second row of extrusion holes 106, the hole spacing of the third row of extrusion holes 109 may be designed to be less than or equal to the smaller of the hole spacings of the first row of extrusion holes 102 and the second row of extrusion holes 106.

[0041] When the material is extruded through the extrusion hole, the resistance may be very large, and a very high extrusion pressure is required to extrude the material from the extrusion hole at the required rate, which leads to a large structural size and energy consumption of the entire system, reducing the economic efficiency of the 3D printing device. Since the resistance of the material passing through the extrusion hole is proportional to the depth of the extrusion hole, the resistance of the extruded material can be reduced by reducing the depth of the extrusion hole.

[0042] For example, Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, a groove 110 can be dug above the third row of extrusion holes 109, so that the channel depth is reduced by a groove depth from the original wall thickness of the feeding part 103, and the depth of the extrusion hole is equal to the distance from the bottom of the groove 110 to the outer surface of the feeding part 103, thereby reducing the depth of the extrusion hole. The present application does not specifically limit the shape and depth of the groove 110, and a selection can be made according to specific circumstances. For example, the groove 110 can be designed as an arc groove.

[0043] For example, Figure 7 As shown, in other embodiments, the thickness of the sleeve-shaped discharge portion 101 at the position corresponding to the extrusion hole can be thinned to reduce the depth of the extrusion hole. Specifically, the cylinder wall at the position of the extrusion hole can be thinned in a certain arc.

[0044] The shape of the sleeve-shaped discharge portion 101 does not have to be cylindrical, and can also be any other shape. Figure 7 The upper portion of the sleeve-shaped discharge portion 101 may be designed as a thick structure to facilitate installation of the heater 111 therein.

[0045] The mesh structure has different shapes for different appearance or structural requirements. This can be achieved by changing the movement of the 3D printing device. Optionally, when printing different layers, the 3D printing device can be deflected at a certain angle. There is no specific limit on the setting of the deflection angle, and it can be any deflection angle. For example, Figure 8 The printing of the grid structure shown is achieved by deflecting the movement direction of the 3D printing device by 90° when printing between layers. Fig. 9The printing of the grid structure shown in (a) is achieved by deflecting the movement direction of the 3D printing device by 45° when printing between layers.

[0046] In addition, in some embodiments, different relative motion modes may be used between the 3D printing device and the printing platform. Fig. 9 (a) shows the structure, the relative motion mode between the 3D printing device and the printing platform is a linear motion mode; Fig. 9 (b) shows the structure, the relative motion mode between the 3D printing device and the printing platform is a linear motion mode combined with a curved motion mode; Fig. 9 In the structure shown in (c), the relative motion mode between the 3D printing device and the printing platform is a pure curve motion mode. The embodiment of the present application has no specific restrictions on the relative motion mode between the 3D printing device and the printing platform, and different motion modes can be freely combined to form a grid component with diverse structures.

[0047] The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the shape of the extrusion hole, which can be a square hole or a round hole. The thickness of the printed layer formed by a row of materials will be different if the aperture of the extrusion hole is different. Therefore, the thickness of a single layer of printing can be changed by changing the aperture of the extrusion hole. The embodiment of the present application has different limitations on the specific size of the aperture, which can be set according to actual needs. For example, for precision printing, an aperture of 0.1mm or less can be used to form an ultra-thin printed layer with a single-layer printing thickness of less than 0.1mm; for another example, for high-efficiency printing, an aperture of 1mm or more can be used to form an ultra-thick printed layer with a single-layer printing thickness of more than 1mm.

[0048] The 3D printing device provided in the embodiment of the present application may refer to a 3D printing head or the entire 3D printing system. The control part of the 3D printing device may be implemented by software, hardware or a combination of software and hardware, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.
