[0044] In the related art, a product is usually formed by using a mold, pouring slurry into the mold, and after the slurry is pre-cured, the mold is removed to obtain the product.
[0045] The inventors of the present application have discovered through research that in conventional molding methods, if there are fine channels in the mold, it is difficult for the poured slurry to enter the fine channels, which in turn causes the problem that the fine structure is difficult to fill in the mold in conventional molding methods.
[0046] After in-depth research, the inventors of this application designed a molding device and a molding method. The molding device includes a silo and a fixing component for fixing the green body, the fixing component has a first channel connected to the second end of the flow channel, and the silo has a receiving tank for containing slurry and connected to the first end of the flow channel. The slurry in the receiving tank can be first transported to the flow channel of the green body under a preset pressure to fill the flow channel of the green body, and then the slurry filled in the flow channel can be pre-cured under preset conditions.
[0047] Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram of a forming device 10 in an embodiment of the present application is shown.
[0048] See also Figure 1 , and refer to Figure 2 A molding device 10 provided in an embodiment of the present application is used to mold a green body 20. The green body 20 is provided with a flow channel 211. The flow channel 211 has a first end 2111 and a second end 2112 that are arranged opposite to each other.
[0049] The molding device 10 includes a fixing component 110 and a silo 120. The fixing component 110 is used to fix the green body 20 and has a first channel 111 connected to the second end 2112 of the flow channel 211. The silo 120 has a receiving groove 121 for receiving slurry and connected to the first end 2111 of the flow channel 211. The green body 20 on the fixing component 110 extends into the receiving groove 121. The slurry in the receiving groove 121 is configured to be able to be pre-cured under preset conditions and can be transported to the flow channel 211 of the green body 20 under a preset pressure to fill the flow channel 211 of the green body 20.
[0050] When the molding device 10 is used, the green body 20 can be fixed on the fixing part 110, and the green body 20 on the fixing part 110 can be extended into the receiving groove 121, and the flow channel 211 of the green body 20 can be extended into the slurry in the receiving groove 121, so that the slurry in the receiving groove 121 can be transported to the flow channel 211 of the green body 20 under a preset pressure to fill the flow channel 211 of the green body 20, and the slurry filled in the flow channel 211 of the green body 20 is pre-cured under preset conditions. The molding device 10 can be used to transport the slurry to the flow channel 211 of the green body 20 under a preset pressure. It can be understood that the slurry can be transported to the flow channel 211 with a fine structure under a preset pressure to solve the problem that the fine structure is not easy to fill.
[0051] If the material of the slurry is different from that of the green body 20 , the molding device 10 of the present application can be used to implement multi-material molding, thereby achieving the purpose of enhancing the overall structural performance and functionalization.
[0052] It should be noted that the slurry can be a photocurable slurry, and the preset condition is ultraviolet light with a preset irradiation intensity (such as Figure 1 The slurry may also be a heat-cured slurry (such as Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 2 ), the preset condition is a condition that the slurry filled in the flow channel 211 is heated to a preset temperature. Of course, the slurry can also be a slurry that can be pre-cured under other conditions other than ultraviolet light and the condition that the slurry filled in the flow channel 211 is heated to a preset temperature, and no specific limitation is made here. Exemplarily, the slurry includes photosensitive resin, light-cured ceramic (metal) slurry, filler, etc.
[0053] The material of the green body 20 may be metal, ceramic, or other materials, which are not specifically limited herein, and the size of the green body 20 is not specifically limited either.
[0054] The above-mentioned “preliminary curing” means that the slurry filled in the flow channel 211 can be cured to a state where it cannot flow out of the flow channel 211 .
[0055] The above-mentioned “the slurry in the containing tank 121 is configured to be transported to the flow channel 211 of the green body 20 at a preset pressure to fill the flow channel 211 of the green body 20” may be that the slurry in the containing tank 121 is pumped into the flow channel 211 of the green body 20 at a preset positive pressure of a transport pump to fill the flow channel 211 of the green body 20, or the slurry in the containing tank 121 is pumped into the flow channel 211 of the green body 20 at a preset negative pressure of a vacuum pump to fill the flow channel 211 of the green body 20. The preset pressure may be a preset positive pressure or a preset negative pressure, which is not specifically limited here.
[0056] In some embodiments, see Figure 1The molding device 10 further includes a light source 130 corresponding to the slurry. The slurry is a light-curing slurry. The light source 130 can pre-cure the slurry in the flow channel 211 when turned on.
[0057] In this embodiment, the material bin 120 is a transparent material bin, and the light source 130 is disposed toward the material bin 120 and toward the flow channel 211 of the green body 20 so as to pre-cure the slurry in the flow channel 211 .
[0058] In some embodiments, the green body 20 is a photocurable material, and the light source 130 is placed directly below the silo 120. The light source 130 irradiates from bottom to top. The light source 130 can be used to cure the green body layer on the surface of the silo 120, and then the green body 20 is obtained by stacking layers.
[0059] In some embodiments, the light source 130 includes a DLP light source (ultraviolet projector), a SLA light source (ultraviolet laser), and an LCD light source.
[0060] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The molding device 10 further includes a negative pressure tube 140 , which is connected to the fixing component 110 and communicates with an end of the first channel 111 away from the flow channel 211 .
[0061] The negative pressure pipe 140 may be connected to a suction device so that the slurry in the containing tank 121 is pumped into the flow channel 211 of the green body 20 under a preset negative pressure to fill the flow channel 211 of the green body 20. In this way, it is possible to avoid defects such as bubbles in the process of filling the flow channel 211 of the green body 20 with slurry. Exemplarily, the suction device may be a vacuum pump.
[0062] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , and refer to Figure 3-5 The green body 20 includes a main body portion 21 and a surplus portion 22 connected to the main body portion 21, a flow channel 211 passes through the main body portion 21, the surplus portion 22 is connected to the fixing component 110, and the surplus portion 22 passes through a second channel 221 which is respectively connected to the second end 2112 of the flow channel 211 and the first channel 111.
[0063] When the molding device 10 is used, the green body 20 can be fixed on the fixing component 110, and the fixing component 110 is lifted to move the green body 20 out of the receiving tank 121, and gas (air) is introduced into the first channel 111 through the negative pressure pipe 140 to blow out the residual impurities in the flow channel 211 of the green body 20; then the green body 20 on the fixing component 110 is extended into the receiving tank 121, and the flow channel 211 of the green body 20 is extended into the slurry in the receiving tank 121, and the suction device uses the negative pressure pipe 140 to suck air outwards so that a preset negative pressure is formed in the flow channel 211 of the green body 20, so that the slurry in the receiving tank 121 can be transported to the flow channel 211 of the green body 20 under the preset pressure (preset negative pressure). In the channel 211, the flow channel 211 filled with the green body 20 is formed; then the slurry filled in the flow channel 211 of the green body 20 is pre-cured under the preset conditions; after the slurry filled in the flow channel 211 of the green body 20 is pre-cured, the excess part 22 of the green body 20 can be separated from the fixing part 110, and then the excess part 22 of the green body 20 is removed. The excess part 22 of the green body 20 can be removed by machining. For example, the excess part 22 of the green body 20 can be removed by cutting first and then grinding, or by grinding. Of course, other machining methods can also be used to remove the excess part 22 of the green body 20, which is not specifically limited here. The setting of the excess part 22 can provide a processing allowance, which is conducive to ensuring the integrity and processing accuracy of the main part 21 of the green body 20.
[0064] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The fixing component 110 also has a transition groove 112 connected between the first channel 111 and the negative pressure tube 140. The molding device 10 also includes a molding table 150 sealedly connected to the notch of the transition groove 112. The negative pressure tube 140 is arranged on the molding table 150. The molding table 150 is provided with a third channel 151 respectively connected to the negative pressure tube 140 and the transition groove 112.
[0065] A transition groove 112 is provided. When the slurry in the containing groove 121 is transported to the flow channel 211 of the green body 20 under a preset pressure (preset negative pressure), the slurry can overflow into the transition groove 112. The overflowing slurry is stored in the transition groove 112, so that the slurry can be prevented from flowing to the negative pressure pipe 140 under the preset pressure and blocking the negative pressure pipe 140.
[0066] Specifically, the forming table 150 blocks the notch of the transition groove 112 , and the side of the forming table 150 facing the notch of the transition groove 112 is bonded to the fixing component 110 , so that the forming table 150 is sealed and connected to the notch of the transition groove 112 .
[0067] The negative pressure pipe 140 is sealed and connected to one end of the third channel 151 away from the transition tank 112 to better ensure that the slurry in the containing tank 121 can be transported to the flow channel 211 of the green body 20 under a preset pressure (preset negative pressure) to fill the flow channel 211 of the green body 20.
[0068] In some embodiments, the volume of the transition groove 112 is greater than the volume of the flow channel 211 , and greater than the volume of the third channel 151 .
[0069] On the one hand, the transition groove 112 can be used to better prevent the slurry from flowing to the negative pressure pipe 140 under a preset pressure and blocking the negative pressure pipe 140. On the other hand, the volume of the transition groove 112 is greater than the volume of the third channel 151, which is conducive to sucking the slurry into the flow channel 211 of the green body 20 by means of the suction device and the negative pressure pipe 140 to fill the flow channel 211 of the green body 20.
[0070] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A plurality of green bodies 20 are arranged on the fixing part 110, and the excess part 22 of each green body 20 is connected to the fixing part 110. A plurality of first channels 111 corresponding to the green bodies 20 are arranged on the fixing part 110. The flow channels 211 of the plurality of green bodies 20 are all connected to the negative pressure pipe 140 through the corresponding first channels 111, transition grooves 112 and third channels 151.
[0071] It is equivalent to that a plurality of green compacts 20 share one transition groove 112. Thus, the slurry can be sucked into the flow channels 211 of the plurality of green compacts 20 by means of the suction device and the negative pressure tube 140 to fill the flow channel 211 of each green compact 20. Then, the slurry filling the flow channel 211 of each green compact 20 is pre-cured. Thus, the molding device 10 can be used to simultaneously realize the molding of a plurality of green compacts 20.
[0072] In some embodiments, the green body 20 and the fixing component 110 are integrally formed. The green body 20 and the fixing component 110 can be printed together by 3D printing technology. Other methods can also be used to integrally form the green body 20 and the fixing component 110. It should be noted that during the integral forming process, it is necessary to ensure that the excess portion 22 of the green body 20 is integrally formed with the fixing component 110, and the main body 21 of the green body 20 and the fixing component 110 do not contact each other.
[0073] In other embodiments, the excess portion 22 of the green body 20 is detachably connected to the fixing component 110. The excess portion 22 of the green body 20 may be bonded to the fixing component 110, or the excess portion 22 of the green body 20 may be snapped to the fixing component 110. Of course, other detachable methods may also be used to connect the excess portion 22 of the green body 20 to the fixing component 110.
[0074] Specific to Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the radial dimension of the excess portion 22 is smaller than the radial dimension of the main portion 21, and the excess portion 22 and the main portion 21 define a slot 23, the fixing component 110 is provided with a snap-fitting portion 113 adapted to the slot 23, and the green body 20 and the fixing component 110 are snap-fitted by means of the slot 23 and the snap-fitting portion 113.
[0075] In this way, during the forming process of the green body 20 , the green body 20 can be clamped to the fixing component 110 , and after the slurry in the flow channel 211 of the green body 20 is pre-cured, the green body 20 can be easily removed to further remove the excess portion 22 of the green body 20 .
[0076] In some embodiments, the silo 120 is provided with a heating mechanism, which can heat the silo 120 to heat the temperature of the slurry in the silo to 30-120°C.
[0077] In some embodiments, the molding device 10 of the present application may be applicable to slurries with different viscosities, and the viscosity of the slurry in the silo 120 may be 1-100000 mPa·s.
[0078] Figure 7 A schematic flow chart of a molding method according to an embodiment of the present application is shown.
[0079] See also Figure 7 , a molding method provided in one embodiment of the present application comprises the following steps:
[0080] S310 , providing a green body 20 , wherein the green body 20 is provided with a flow channel 211 .
[0081] S320, extending the flow channel 211 of the green body 20 into the slurry.
[0082] S330, delivering the slurry to the flow channel 211 of the green body 20 under a preset pressure to fill the flow channel 211 of the green body 20;
[0083] S340 , pre-curing the slurry filling the flow channel 211 of the green body 20 .
[0084] By using this molding method, multi-material molding can be realized, and the slurry can be conveyed to the flow channel 211 with a fine structure under a preset pressure to solve the problem that the fine structure is difficult to fill.
[0085] In some embodiments, before step S320 of extending the flow channel 211 of the green body 20 into the slurry, the molding method further includes:
[0086] S311 , the green body 20 is moved out of the containing tank 121 , and gas (air) is introduced into the first channel 111 through the negative pressure pipe 140 to blow out the residual impurities in the flow channel 211 of the green body 20 .
[0087] Avoid the residual impurities in the flow channel 211 of the green body 20 affecting the quality of the green body 20 after molding.
[0088] In some embodiments, step S310 of providing the green body 20 specifically includes:
[0089] The green body 20 with the flow channel 211 is generated by using the light-curing 3D printing technology.
[0090] The green body 20 with the flow channel 211 can be generated by using the light-curing 3D printing technology. The green body 20 has a high molding speed and the structure can be designed as needed to form a flow channel 211 with a fine structure (such as Figure 5 shown).
[0091] In some other embodiments, the step S310 of providing the green body 20 specifically includes:
[0092] The green body 20 having the flow channel 211 and the fixing component 110 connected to the excess part 22 of the green body 20 are generated by using the light-curing 3D printing technology.
[0093] In some embodiments, the step S330 of delivering the slurry to the flow channel 211 of the green body 20 at a preset pressure to fill the flow channel 211 of the green body 20 specifically includes:
[0094] The slurry is sucked into the flow channel 211 of the green body 20 under a preset negative pressure to fill the flow channel 211 of the green body 20 .
[0095] On the one hand, it can ensure that the slurry can be pumped into the flow channel 211 with fine structures under a preset negative pressure to solve the problem that the fine structures are difficult to fill. On the other hand, it is not easy to generate defects such as bubbles in the flow channel 211.
[0096] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 The molding method further comprises:
[0097] S350, separating the green body 20 from the fixing component 110, and removing the excess portion 22 of the green body 20. For example, the excess portion 22 of the green body 20 may be removed by machining such as grinding.
[0098] S360, placing the main body 21 of the green body 20 in an oven and keeping it warm for 0.2-5 hours at a temperature of 50-300°C.
[0099] This is conducive to further solidification of the slurry in the flow channel 211 of the green body 20, so that the solidification reaction is complete. At the same time, it can also make the small molecules in the main part 21 of the green body 20 react at high temperature to form polymers, so as to improve the overall structural strength of the green body 20 and the solidified slurry. In addition, it can also form a good interface bonding at the contact point between the slurry and the inner wall of the flow channel 211, and the solidified slurry is not easy to separate from the main part 21 of the green body 20 during the sintering process.
[0100] In some embodiments, at least one of the material of the main body 21 of the green body 20 and the material of the slurry includes at least one of metal and ceramic.
