Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of 3D printing technology, and more specifically to a metal powder vibrating sieving device for metal 3D printing. Background Technology

[0002] In metal 3D printing, the quality and particle size distribution of the metal powder are crucial to the performance and quality of the printed parts. Inappropriate powder quality and particle size distribution can lead to defects and inhomogeneities in the printed parts. Therefore, to obtain high-quality printing results, the metal powder needs to be sieved to remove unsuitable particles and impurities. Vibrating screen technology is a commonly used method, which uses a combination of vibration and a screen to sieve the metal powder. Specifically, the vibration force generated by the vibrating mechanism places the metal powder on the screen, and the powder is separated according to the size of the screen's aperture. Smaller particles can pass through the screen's aperture, while larger particles and impurities are retained above the screen. Currently, commercially available vibrating screen devices are not well compatible with automated metal 3D printing processes.

[0056] The following section will first combine the appendix. Figure 1-8 The metal powder vibrating sieving device of the present invention is described in detail in the embodiments thereof.

[0057] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a metal powder vibrating sieving device for metal 3D printing includes a sheet metal frame 1, a vibrating screen body 2, an upper powder storage box 3, a lower powder storage box 4, an exhaust gas filtration device 5, and a powder feeding device 6.

[0058] The front end of the sheet metal frame 1 is equipped with a touch screen 7, and multiple upper brackets 8 are installed around the top. The sheet metal frame 1 contains a circuit module (not shown) and a pneumatic module.

[0059] The vibrating screen body 2 is formed in a hemispherical shape and fixed to the upper end of the sheet metal frame 1 for screening metal powder;

[0060] The upper powder storage box 3 is detachably installed above the upper support 8 and has a powder storage box air inlet quick connector 10 at the top. The upper powder storage box 3 is connected above the vibrating screen body 2 and is used to store unscreened metal powder.

[0061] The lower powder storage box 4 is located at the lower end of the sheet metal frame 1 and connected to the lower part of the vibrating screen body 2. The bottom of the lower powder storage box 4 is equipped with a quick-connect 11 for air outlet of the powder storage box. Multiple lower supports 9 are detachably connected to the outside of the lower powder storage box 4. The lower powder storage box 4 is used to store the metal powder that has been screened.

[0062] The exhaust gas filtration device 5 is installed at the bottom of the sheet metal frame 1 and connected to the vibrating screen body 2, and is used to filter and discharge the generated exhaust gas.

[0063] The powder application device 6 is located at the lower end of the sheet metal frame and is connected to the lower powder storage box 4 at one end, and can be connected to the metal 3D printing equipment at the other end.

[0064] Specifically, the operator assigns parameters on the touchscreen 7, such as powder feeding time, sieving time, sieving amount, vibration frequency, and time settings. At this time, the metal powder in the upper powder storage box 3 enters the vibrating screen body 2 for vibration sieving. The sieved metal powder then enters the lower powder storage box 4 for storage. When 3D printing is required, the metal powder in the lower powder storage box 4 is fed into the metal 3D printing equipment via the powder feeding device 6 for the relevant printing operations. This enables automated metal powder screening and 3D printing to be performed in tandem, improving the automation level of the vibrating screening process. Simultaneously, throughout the process, inert gas enters the upper powder storage box 3 through the powder storage box inlet quick connector 10, and the exhaust gas filter 5 discharges the exhaust gas carrying powder impurities generated during vibration sieving. The remaining inert gas is discharged through the powder storage box outlet quick connector 11, thereby improving the safety and cleanliness of the vibration screening process.

[0065] Furthermore, the vibrating screen body 2 includes a base 12, a lower housing 13, an upper housing 14, and a waste outlet pipe 15.

[0066] The base 12 has an opening in the middle. The lower housing 13 of the vibrating screen is hemispherical, and a discharge pipe 16 is connected to the bottom through the opening. The upper housing 14 of the vibrating screen is hemispherical and connected to the upper housing 13 of the lower housing via a quick-release buckle 22. A vibrating motor 17, a quick-connect air inlet 18, and a quick-connect air outlet 19 are connected to the sides. A metal hose 20 is provided at the top, and a pneumatic butterfly valve 21 is installed on the metal hose 20 and connected to the powder storage box 3. One end of the waste outlet pipe 15 is connected to the upper housing 14 of the vibrating screen.

[0067] After the pneumatic butterfly valve 21 is opened under control, the metal powder in the upper powder storage box 3 enters the vibrating screen body 2 through the metal hose 20. The vibrating motor 17 provides power for the vibrating screening. The inert gas enters the vibrating screen body 2 through the vibrating screen inlet quick connector 18 and is discharged through the vibrating screen outlet quick connector 19. The metal powder waste generated by the vibrating screening is discharged through the waste outlet pipe 15, ensuring safety and cleanliness throughout the vibrating screening process.

[0068] Furthermore, the main body 2 of the vibrating screen also includes a vibrating screen observation window 23, an oxygen sensor 24, a fixing plate 25, and multiple buffer springs 26.

[0069] The observation window 23 of the vibrating screen is set on the upper shell 14 of the vibrating screen, which facilitates the operator's observation.

[0070] The oxygen sensor 24 is installed inside the upper housing 14 of the vibrating screen, which can display the oxygen content index inside the vibrating screen body 2 in real time, thus improving safety.

[0071] The fixing plate 25 is connected to the outside of the lower housing 13 of the vibrating screen. Multiple buffer springs 26 are connected at one end to the base 12 and at the other end to the fixing plate 25, providing damping for the vibrating screening process and reducing the probability of damage to the vibrating screen body 2.

[0072] Furthermore, the upper powder storage box 3 and the lower powder storage box 4 have the same structure. The upper powder storage box 3 includes a powder storage box body 27 and a powder storage box support 28.

[0073] The main body 27 of the powder storage box is fixed with a forklift anchor welding block 29 on the side, which facilitates forklift transportation; the bottom end forms an inverted trapezoidal discharge port 30, which is connected to one end of the discharge vacuum quick-connect manual butterfly valve 31, and a powder storage box air outlet quick connector 11 is set next to the inverted trapezoidal discharge port 30; the top end is respectively equipped with a capacitive sensor 32, a powder storage box air inlet quick connector 10, a powder storage box observation window 33, and a feed port, and a feed vacuum quick-connect manual butterfly valve 34 is connected to the feed port.

[0074] The powder storage box bracket 28 is located on the outside of the powder storage box body 27 and is connected to the powder storage box body 27 through the bracket fixing block 35.

[0075] Specifically, regarding the upper powder storage box 3, after opening the feed vacuum quick-connect manual butterfly valve 34, the metal powder is poured into the upper powder storage box 3 for storage. When the vibrating screen operation is started, the metal powder enters the vibrating screen body 2 through the inverted trapezoidal discharge port 30, the discharge vacuum quick-connect manual butterfly valve 31, and the metal hose 20.

[0076] Regarding the lower powder storage box 4, the sieved metal powder enters the lower powder storage box 4 through the inlet via the discharge pipe 16 for storage. When 3D printing is required, the sieved metal powder enters the powder feeding device 6 through the inverted trapezoidal discharge port 30.

[0077] Furthermore, the exhaust gas filtration device 5 includes an exhaust gas filter housing 36, an adjustable pressure relief valve 37, and a housing fixing plate 38.

[0078] The exhaust gas filter housing 36 is formed into a cylinder, with a quick-connect fitting 39 for the housing inlet and a quick-connect fitting 40 for the housing outlet connected to the top and bottom ends respectively. The quick-connect fitting 39 for the housing inlet is connected to the other end of the waste outlet pipe 15.

[0079] The adjustable pressure relief valve 37 is fixedly installed on the side of the exhaust gas filter housing 36, which increases safety.

[0080] The housing fixing plate 38 is installed on the upper end of the exhaust gas filter housing 36 to connect to the bottom end of the sheet metal frame 1.

[0081] Specifically, the waste gas and waste materials generated by the vibrating screen enter the waste gas filter housing 36 through the waste material outlet pipe 15 for filtration, which greatly improves the cleanliness and ensures environmental protection.

[0082] Furthermore, the powder feeding device 6 includes a screw shaft cylinder 41, a feed reducing tee 42, a discharge reducing tee 43, a screw shaft 44, and a servo motor 45.

[0083] The helical shaft cylinder 41 is formed into a cylindrical shape.

[0084] One end of the feed reducing tee pipe 42 is open and connected to one end of the screw shaft cylinder 41. The side end of the feed reducing tee pipe 42 forms a powder feeding port 50. The powder feeding port 50 is connected to the lower powder storage box 4 through the discharge vacuum quick-connect manual butterfly valve 31.

[0085] One end of the discharge reducing tee 43 is open and connected to the other end of the spiral shaft cylinder 41, and the side end of the discharge reducing tee 43 forms a powder discharge port 51, which can be connected to a 3D printing device.

[0086] The spiral shaft 44 is integrally formed inside the spiral shaft cylinder 41 and has multiple spiral blades 46 connected to its surface.

[0087] The servo motor 45 is located at the other end of the discharge reducing tee pipe 43 and is connected to one end of the screw shaft 44 to drive the screw shaft 44 to rotate.

[0088] Specifically, during the printing process, after the servo motor 45 starts, it drives the spiral shaft 44 to start rotating. The metal powder in the lower powder storage box 4 enters the spiral shaft cylinder 41 through the powder feeding port 50. The spiral blades 46 generate friction with the metal powder, thereby driving the metal powder to move to the powder discharge port 51 and finally enter the 3D printing equipment, thus completing the 3D printing powder supply operation.

[0089] Furthermore, the bottom of the lower support 9 is equipped with multiple casters 47, which increases the ease of movement.

[0090] Furthermore, the gas path module includes a gas path mounting plate 48, which is installed inside the sheet metal frame 1. The gas path mounting plate is equipped with an airflow regulating valve 49 to control the flow rate of inert gas. Initially, the inert gas is set to a high airflow mode via the touch screen 7. When the oxygen content drops below 100ppm, it is adjusted to a low airflow mode, thereby reducing the use of inert gas and lowering costs.

[0091] Furthermore, the sheet metal frame 1, upper bracket 8, and lower bracket 9 are all made of stainless steel.

[0092] Furthermore, the quick-connect fittings 10 and 11 for the powder storage box air inlet, 18 and 19 for the vibrating screen air inlet, 39 and 40 for the shell air inlet, and 40 for the shell are all KF vacuum fittings.
