[0002] 3D printing is a rapid prototyping technology. During the use of a 3D printer, it is necessary to dissipate heat from the printing extrusion head in a timely manner to prevent overheating at the printing extrusion head, which may cause deformation or even damage, thereby affecting the printing accuracy and the quality of the filament output. In the prior art, the Chinese patent with the publication number CN218054009U discloses an extrusion mechanism and a 3D printer. When the position or length dimension of the nozzle changes and it is necessary to adjust the air outlet direction of the fan to better dissipate heat from the nozzle, at this time, the mounting member is rotated relative to the extrusion nozzle to change the air outlet direction of the fan, so that the air outlet direction of the fan can blow more precisely towards the nozzle.

A detachable heat dissipation unit is provided on the rotating shaft 15; Through the design of the rotating member, the annular protective shell 5 is rotatably connected relative to the support ring 3. When the printing extrusion head 4 performs extrusion work, the driving member drives the second gear 14 to rotate, so that the second gear 14 rolls on the gear ring 6, and then the annular protective shell 5 rotates relative to the support ring 3, changing the position of the detachable heat dissipation unit. When the annular protective shell 5 rotates relative to the support ring 3, the first gear 8 rolls on the gear ring 6. The first gear 8 drives the first connecting shaft 9 and the first friction disk 10 to rotate. The first friction disk 10 drives the second connecting shaft 12 to rotate through the second friction disk 11. The second connecting shaft 12 drives the rotating shaft 15 to periodically rotate forward and backward through the swinging meshing structure, so that the rotating shaft 15 drives the detachable heat dissipation unit to swing, changing the inclination angle of the detachable heat dissipation unit. While the detachable heat dissipation unit rotates around the printing extrusion head 4, the inclination angle of the printing extrusion head 4 can be changed, so that the detachable heat dissipation unit dissipates heat from different positions on the printing extrusion head 4. At the same time, the detachable heat dissipation unit can cool the model printed by the printing extrusion head 4, improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0032] In some optional specific embodiments, such as Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in Figure 7 , the swing engagement structure includes a turntable 16 fixedly installed at the bottom end of the second connecting shaft 12. A fixed column 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the turntable 16. A third gear 21 is fixedly sleeved outside the rotating shaft 15.

One end of the first movable plate 13 is fixedly connected to the movable ring 27. The movable ring 27 and the top inner wall of the annular protective shell 5 are connected through a second hydraulic telescopic rod 28. When the second connecting shaft 12 rotates, the second connecting shaft 12 drives the turntable 16 and the fixed column 17 to rotate. The fixed column 17 slides in the chute 19, so that the second movable plate 18 reciprocates horizontally. The second movable plate 18 drives the third gear 21 to periodically rotate forward and backward through the first toothed plate 20. The third gear 21 drives the detachable heat dissipation unit to swing through the rotating shaft 15. Through the design of the side plate 25 and the guiding columns 26, the second movable plate 18 slides smoothly relative to the annular protective shell 5. The second hydraulic telescopic rod 28 drives the movable ring 27 to move vertically. The first movable plate 13 drives the second connecting shaft 12 and the second friction disc 11 to move vertically, so that the second friction disc 11 and the first friction disc 10 are in close contact, and the force of the second friction disc 11 pressing on the first friction disc 10 can be controlled, thereby adjusting the friction force between the first friction disc 10 and the second friction disc 11. When it is necessary for the detachable heat dissipation unit to maintain a fixed inclination angle, the first hydraulic telescopic rod 24 drives the first supporting portion 23 and the second toothed plate 22 to move. The second toothed plate 22 meshes with the third gear 21. As the second toothed plate 22 continuously moves, the second toothed plate 22 drives the third gear 21 and the rotating shaft 15 to rotate, so that the detachable heat dissipation unit maintains a fixed preset inclination angle. When the first connecting shaft 9 and the first friction disc 10 rotate, the second friction disc 11 and the second connecting shaft 12 remain stationary, and the inclination angle of the detachable heat dissipation unit can be individually controlled according to actual needs.

[0033] In some optional specific embodiments, such as Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 9As shown, the rotating member includes a fixed ring 31 disposed below the support ring 3. A rotating ring 29 is sleeved outside the fixed ring 31. The fixed ring 31 and the rotating ring 29 are connected by a bearing. The rotating ring 29 and the annular protective shell 5 are connected by a connecting column 30. The fixed ring 31 and the support ring 3 are connected by a second connecting plate 32. Both ends of the rotating shaft 15 are respectively sleeved with a second support portion 51. A bearing is provided at the connection between the rotating shaft 15 and the second support portion 51. One end of the second support portion 51 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the annular protective shell 5. Through the design of the second support portion 51 and the bearing, the rotating shaft 15 and the annular protective shell 5 are rotationally connected; the driving member includes a mounting plate 47 disposed inside the annular protective shell 5. The mounting plate 47 and the annular protective shell 5 are connected by bolts 48. A motor 44 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 47. The output end of the motor 44 is fixedly connected to a fixed disk 45. A card slot 46 is formed in the fixed disk 45. A prism 43 is provided in the card slot 46. The top end of the prism 43 is fixedly connected to a third connecting shaft 42. The third connecting shaft 42 penetrates through the second gear 14 and is fixedly connected to the second gear 14. The top end of the third connecting shaft 42 is connected to the annular protective shell 5 by a bearing; through the design of the rotating ring 29, the connecting column 30, the fixed ring 31, the second connecting plate 32 and the bearing, the annular protective shell 5 and the rotating ring 29 are rotationally connected relative to the support ring 3. By driving the fixed disk 45 to rotate by the motor 44, the fixed disk 45 drives the second gear 14 to rotate through the prism 43 and the third connecting shaft 42. The staff drives the bolt 48 to rotate so that the bolt 48 disengages from the mounting plate 47 and the annular protective shell 5, releasing the fixed relationship between the mounting plate 47 and the annular protective shell 5. The staff drives the mounting plate 47 and the motor 44 to move downward so that the prism 43 disengages from the card slot 46, and the removal of the motor 44 can be completed.

[0034] In some alternative specific embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown in the figure, the dismountable heat dissipation unit includes a fixed block 33 disposed below the rotating shaft 15. The fixed block 33 and the rotating shaft 15 are connected by a third connecting plate 34. A turbo fan 35 is provided at the bottom of the fixed block 33. The blowing port of the turbo fan 35 faces downward. The turbo fan 35 and the fixed block 33 are connected by a dismounting member. The dismounting member includes a plug 36 fixedly installed on the top of the turbo fan 35. A slot 37 is opened at the bottom of the fixed block 33. The plug 36 is located in the slot 37. A limiting hole 38 is opened on one inner wall of the slot 37. A groove 40 is opened on the plug 36. A limiting block 39 is arranged in the groove 40. One end of the limiting block 39 is connected to one inner wall of the groove 40 through a compression spring 41. The other end of the limiting block 39 is located in the limiting hole 38. A heat dissipation fan 49 is fixedly connected to the support ring 3. Two flow guide plates 50 are fixedly connected to one side of the heat dissipation fan 49, and the two flow guide plates 50 are respectively located on both sides of the printing extrusion head 4. When the rotating shaft 15 rotates, the rotating shaft 15 drives the fixed block 33 and the turbo fan 35 to rotate through the third connecting plate 34, changing the inclination angle of the turbo fan 35, thereby adjusting the blowing direction of the turbo fan 35. The staff drives the limiting block 39 to move so that the limiting block 39 disengages from the limiting hole 38, and the compression spring 41 is in a compressed state, releasing the fixed relationship between the plug 36 and the fixed block 33. The staff drives the turbo fan 35 to move downward so that the plug 36 disengages from the slot 37, and the removal of the turbo fan 35 can be completed. The heat dissipation fan 49 is turned on, and the air blown out by the heat dissipation fan 49 is guided by the flow guide plates 50 so that the air blows towards the printing extrusion head 4 to further dissipate heat from the printing extrusion head 4.

[0035] Working principle: Through the design of the rotating part, the annular protective shell 5 is rotatably connected to the support ring 3. When the printing extrusion head 4 performs the extrusion work, the driving part drives the second gear 14 to rotate, so that the second gear 14 rolls on the toothed ring 6, and then the annular protective shell 5 rotates relative to the support ring 3, changing the position of the detachable heat dissipation unit. When the annular protective shell 5 rotates relative to the support ring 3, the first gear 8 rolls on the toothed ring 6, and the first gear 8 drives the first connecting shaft 9 and the first friction disk 10 to rotate. The first friction disk 10 drives the second connecting shaft 12 to rotate through the second friction disk 11. The second connecting shaft 12 drives the rotating shaft 15 to periodically rotate forward and backward through the swing engagement structure, so that the rotating shaft 15 drives the detachable heat dissipation unit to swing, changing the inclination angle of the detachable heat dissipation unit. While the detachable heat dissipation unit rotates around the printing extrusion head 4, the inclination angle of the printing extrusion head 4 can be changed, so that the detachable heat dissipation unit dissipates heat at different positions on the printing extrusion head 4. At the same time, the detachable heat dissipation unit can cool the model printed by the printing extrusion head 4, improving the heat dissipation efficiency; When the second connecting shaft 12 rotates, the second connecting shaft 12 drives the turntable 16 and the fixed column 17 to rotate. The fixed column 17 slides in the chute 19, so that the second movable plate 18 moves reciprocally in the horizontal direction. The second movable plate 18 drives the third gear 21 to periodically rotate forward and backward through the first toothed plate 20. The third gear 21 drives the detachable heat dissipation unit to swing through the rotating shaft 15. Through the design of the side plate 25 and the guide post 26, the second movable plate 18 slides smoothly relative to the annular protective shell 5. The second hydraulic telescopic rod 28 drives the movable ring 27 to move in the vertical direction, and the first movable plate 13 drives the second connecting shaft 12 and the second friction disk 11 to move in the vertical direction, so that the second friction disk 11 and the first friction disk 10 are in close contact, and the force of the second friction disk 11 pressing the first friction disk 10 can be controlled, thereby adjusting the friction force between the first friction disk 10 and the second friction disk 11. When it is necessary for the detachable heat dissipation unit to maintain a fixed inclination angle, the first hydraulic telescopic rod 24 drives the first support part 23 and the second toothed plate 22 to move. The second toothed plate 22 meshes with the third gear 21. As the second toothed plate 22 continues to move, the second toothed plate 22 drives the third gear 21 and the rotating shaft 15 to rotate, so that the detachable heat dissipation unit maintains a fixed preset inclination angle. When the first connecting shaft 9 and the first friction disk 10 rotate, the second friction disk 11 and the second connecting shaft 12 remain stationary, and the inclination angle of the detachable heat dissipation unit can be controlled individually according to actual needs;Through the design of the rotating ring 29, connecting column 30, fixed ring 31, second connecting plate 32 and bearing, the annular protective shell 5 and the rotating ring 29 are rotationally connected relative to the support ring 3. The fixed disk 45 is driven to rotate by the motor 44. The fixed disk 45 drives the second gear 14 to rotate through the prism 43 and the third connecting shaft 42. The staff drives the bolt 48 to rotate so that the bolt 48 disengages from the mounting plate 47 and the annular protective shell 5, and the fixing relationship between the mounting plate 47 and the annular protective shell 5 is released. The staff drives the mounting plate 47 and the motor 44 to move downward so that the prism 43 disengages from the card slot 46, and the removal of the motor 44 can be completed. When the rotating shaft 15 rotates, the rotating shaft 15 drives the fixed block 33 and the turbine fan 35 to rotate through the third connecting plate 34, changing the inclination angle of the turbine fan 35, and thus adjusting the blowing direction of the turbine fan 35. The staff drives the limiting block 39 to move so that the limiting block 39 disengages from the limiting hole 38, and the compression spring 41 is in a compressed state, releasing the fixing relationship between the insertion block 36 and the fixed block 33. The staff drives the turbine fan 35 to move downward so that the insertion block 36 disengages from the insertion slot 37, and the removal of the turbine fan 35 can be completed. The cooling fan 49 is turned on, and the air blown out by the cooling fan 49 is guided by the guide plate 50 so that the air blows towards the printing extruder head 4 to further dissipate heat from the printing extruder head 4.;
