[0026] After being used for a long time at high temperature, the temperature control elements on the existing 3D printer nozzles are prone to slow response speed problems. As a result, the heating element continues to heat up after being heated to the required temperature, while the heat dissipation rate of the heat dissipation element on the nozzle remains unchanged, causing the heat dissipation element on the upper part of the nozzle to be unable to dissipate the temperature in time, causing the material in the nozzle that has not been delivered to the heating part to melt prematurely, thereby blocking the nozzle.

[0027] Embodiment 1: A 3D printer anti-clogging nozzle, such as Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, it includes a fixed frame 1, a fixed block 2 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the front side of the fixed frame 1, the fixed block 2 is fixedly connected to a discharge shell 3, the discharge shell 3 is composed of a feed shell located at the upper part and a discharge head at the lower part, the connection between the fixed block 2 and the discharge shell 3 is the discharge head, the fixed block 2 is fixedly connected to a heating rod 4 and a temperature control element 5, the heating rod 4 melts the material in the discharge head of the discharge shell 3 through the fixed block 2, a fixed cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the right side of the fixed block 2, the internal sealing sliding connection of the fixed cylinder 6 is connected to a piston shaft 7, and the two cooperate to form a first closed cavity, the first closed cavity is filled with thermal expansion gas, the heating rod 4 is connected to the first closed cavity through the fixed block 2 The gas in a closed cavity transfers heat to expand the gas in the first closed cavity. A first elastic push rod 8 is fixedly connected to the right side of the fixed frame 1. The fixed part of the first elastic push rod 8 is filled with hydraulic oil. The telescopic end of the first elastic push rod 8 is fixedly connected to the piston shaft 7, so that the gas in the first closed cavity pushes the piston shaft 7 to slide outward along the fixed cylinder 6, so that the piston shaft 7 drives the telescopic end of the first elastic push rod 8 to slide along its fixed part. A second elastic push rod 9 is fixedly connected to the left side of the fixed frame 1. The fixed part of the second elastic push rod 9 is filled with hydraulic oil. The fixed part of the first elastic push rod 8 is fixedly connected to the fixed part of the second elastic push rod 9. A first circulation pipe 10 is connected, and the first circulation pipe 10 is filled with hydraulic oil, so that the hydraulic oil in the fixed part of the first elastic push rod 8 enters the fixed part of the second elastic push rod 9 along the first circulation pipe 10. A first motor 11 is fixedly connected to the left side of the fixed frame 1, and a fan 12 is rotatably connected to the left side of the fixed frame 1. The output shaft of the first motor 11 is fixedly connected to a rotating table 13. The rotating table 13 is truncated, and the end with a small diameter is located on the right side. The fan 12 is splined to a rotating sleeve 14, and the rotating table 13 is fitted with the rotating sleeve 14. The output shaft of the first motor 11 drives the fan 12 to rotate through the rotating table 13 and the rotating sleeve 14, so that the fan The fan 12 forms an airflow to blow toward the discharge shell 3 to prevent the material inside the discharge shell 3 from melting in the upper feed shell in advance. The telescopic end of the second elastic push rod 9 is rotatably connected with the rotating sleeve 14. The fixed frame 1 is provided with a heat dissipation component for dissipating heat from the discharge shell 3. The present invention detects the temperature of the heating rod 4, adjusts the fitting position of the rotating sleeve 14 and the rotating table 13 according to the temperature change, changes the transmission ratio between the rotating table 13 and the rotating sleeve 14, accelerates the rotation speed of the fan 12, and improves the heat dissipation rate of the discharge shell 3, thereby preventing the material in the feed shell on the discharge shell 3 from melting due to high temperature, thereby blocking the transportation of the material.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the heat dissipation component includes a second motor 201, which is fixedly connected to the right side of the fixing frame 1, and the output shaft of the second motor 201 is fixedly connected to the first gear 202. The feed shell of the discharge shell 3 is rotatably connected to the heat exchange sleeve 203, and the outside of the heat exchange sleeve 203 is fixedly connected to a linear array of heat sinks for increasing the heat dissipation area of ​​the discharge shell 3. The cross-section of the heat sink outside the heat exchange sleeve 203 is in a horizontally placed L-shape, and the lower side is a plane for increasing the heat dissipation area of ​​the heat exchange sleeve 203. The top of the heat exchange sleeve 203 is fixedly connected to the second gear 204, and the first gear 202 is meshed with the second gear 204. The output shaft of the second motor 201 drives the heat exchange sleeve 203 to rotate through the first gear 202 and the second gear 204, so that the wind flow blown out by the fan 12 is evenly in contact with the heat sink outside the heat exchange sleeve 203, so that the heat dissipation of the discharge shell 3 is even, and a water injection component for accelerating the heat dissipation of the heat exchange sleeve 203 is provided in the fan 12.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the water injection component includes a water injection pipe 301, which is connected to an external water injection device. The water injection pipe 301 is rotatably connected to the left side of the rotating sleeve 14. A first channel 302 connected to the water injection pipe 301 is provided inside the rotating sleeve 14, and a second channel 303 connected to the first channel 302 is provided inside the fan 12. Water in the water injection pipe 301 enters the second channel 303 along the first channel 302. A circular array of water outlet holes 304 is provided on the right side of the fan 12. The water outlet holes 304 in the circular array are all connected to the second channel 303, so that the water in the second channel 303 is discharged to the right side of the fan 12 along the water outlet holes 304 in the circular array. The fan 12 blows the water to the outside of the heat exchange sleeve 203. At this time, the water vaporizes and absorbs the heat of the heat exchange sleeve 203. At the same time, the annular groove on the external heat sink of the heat exchange sleeve 203 can store part of the water and make full use of the water. A blocking component for blocking the second channel 303 is provided inside the fan 12.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, the blocking assembly includes a push rod 305, which is fixed to the right side of the rotating sleeve 14 through a connecting piece, and the push rod 305 is located inside the second channel 303. A blocking block 306 is slidably connected to the fan 12 through a connecting piece. The blocking block 306 is a truncated cone block, and the side with a smaller diameter of the blocking block 306 is on the left side. A first elastic element 307 is arranged between the blocking block 306 and the connecting piece of the fan 12. The first elastic element 307 is a spring, and the first elastic element 307 is used to drive the blocking block 306 to reset. The blocking block 306 is squeezed and matched with the push rod 305, and the blocking block 306 is sealed and matched with the second channel 303. The push rod 305 pushes the blocking block 306 to separate from the fan 12, so that the water in the second channel 303 continues to flow.

[0031] When the 3D printer starts printing, the heating rod 4 is turned on for heating, the heating rod 4 heats the fixed block 2, and the fixed block 2 starts to heat the discharge head of the discharge shell 3. When the temperature control element 5 detects that the temperature of the fixed block 2 reaches the required requirement, the heating temperature of the heating rod 4 stabilizes to the required temperature, and then the staff continues to convey the material into the discharge shell 3. The material enters the discharge head at the bottom along the feed shell at the upper part of the discharge shell 3 and begins to melt. The molten material is pushed by the subsequent conveying material to be discharged from the discharge head at the bottom of the discharge shell 3 and printed according to a specific trajectory. Since the high temperature of the discharge head at the bottom of the discharge shell 3 will be transmitted upward to the upper feed shell, the temperature of the feed shell at the upper part of the discharge shell 3 will increase, causing the material inside to melt and then block the material. When the heating rod 4 is turned on, the first motor 11 is turned on, so that the output shaft of the first motor 11 drives the rotating table 13 thereon to rotate synchronously, and the rotating table 13 drives the rotating sleeve 14 to rotate synchronously, and the rotating sleeve 14 drives the fan 12 to rotate and blow out airflow to the heat exchange sleeve 203, so that the airflow takes away the heat of the heat exchange sleeve 203. When the heating rod 4 is turned on, the second motor 201 is turned on, and the output shaft of the second motor 201 drives the first gear 202 thereon to rotate, and the first gear 202 drives the heat exchange sleeve 203 to rotate synchronously through the second gear 204, so that the airflow blown by the fan 12 is evenly in contact with the heat exchange sleeve 203, thereby making the heat exchange sleeve 203 dissipate heat evenly, and this is done until printing is completed.

[0032] When printing is completed, the material conveying is turned off, and then the heating rod 4, the first motor 11 and the second motor 201 are turned off. When printing is required again, the above steps are repeated.

[0033] After long-term use, the temperature control element 5 responds slowly due to aging and other reasons, and is unable to timely feedback the heating temperature of the heating rod 4 and make corresponding adjustments, causing the heating rod 4 to continue to heat up and heat the fixed block 2. At this time, the temperature of the fixed block 2 is too high, causing the temperature of the discharge head of the discharge shell 3 to be transferred to the upper feed shell, causing the temperature of the feed shell to be too high, causing the material to melt in the discharge shell 3, thereby blocking the discharge shell 3. When the temperature of the fixed block 2 is too high, the temperature of the fixed block 2 is transferred to the first closed cavity formed by the fixed cylinder 6 and the piston shaft 7, causing the gas temperature in the first closed cavity to begin to rise. The temperature of the first closed cavity rises and begins to expand. At this time, the gas pushes The piston shaft 7 slides to the right, and the piston shaft 7 drives the telescopic end of the first elastic push rod 8 to slide along its fixed part. At this time, the hydraulic oil in the fixed part of the first elastic push rod 8 flows along the first flow pipe 10 to the fixed part of the second elastic push rod 9. The hydraulic oil in the fixed part of the second elastic push rod 9 pushes its telescopic end to move to the right. The telescopic end of the second elastic push rod 9 drives the rotating sleeve 14 to slide along the adjacent fan 12, changing the fitting position of the rotating sleeve 14 and the rotating table 13, increasing the transmission ratio of the rotating table 13 to the rotating sleeve 14, and accelerating the rotation speed of the fan 12. The heat dissipation rate of the heat exchange sleeve 203 is improved, and the material in the discharge shell 3 and the feed shell is prevented from melting, thereby blocking the transported material.

[0034] Before starting printing, the staff turns on the external water injection device and injects water into the first channel 302 in the rotating sleeve 14 through the water injection pipe 301. Then the water enters the second channel 303 along the first channel 302. At this time, the second channel 303 is blocked by the blocking block 306 and cannot continue to flow. When the rotating sleeve 14 slides along the fan 12, the rotating sleeve 14 drives the push rod 305 inside it to move synchronously. The push rod 305 pushes the blocking block 306 to separate the blocking block 306 from the fan 12. At the same time, the first elastic element 307 is compressed. At this time, the water in the second channel 303 continues to flow and then enters the water outlet holes 304 of the annular array. At this time, the water is discharged to the outside along the water outlet holes 304 of the annular array, and then blown to the outside of the heat exchange sleeve 203 by the fan 12, so that the water adheres to the heat sink outside the heat exchange sleeve 203, absorbs the heat of the heat exchange sleeve 203 through the vapor of the water, and further improves the heat dissipation speed of the heat exchange sleeve 203.

[0035] This continues until the temperature control element 5 detects that the temperature of the fixed block 2 is higher than the required value, at which point the temperature control element 5 lowers the temperature of the heating rod 4 to the required value, and the gas temperature in the first closed cavity is synchronously reduced, causing the piston shaft 7 to reset and slide, and the piston shaft 7 drives the telescopic end of the first elastic push rod 8 to reset synchronously, and the hydraulic oil in the fixed part of the second elastic push rod 9 flows back to the fixed part of the first elastic push rod 8, causing the telescopic end of the second elastic push rod 9 to drive the rotating sleeve 14 to reset to its initial state, and when the temperature of the heating rod 4 rises again, the above steps are repeated.

[0036] After long-term use, the temperature control element is easily damaged by high temperature and aging, resulting in the inability of the temperature control element to feedback the temperature of the heating element, causing the heating element to continue to heat up, which in turn causes the material to melt prematurely in the nozzle, thereby blocking subsequent nozzles and making the nozzle unable to perform 3D printing.

[0037] Embodiment 2: Based on embodiment 1, Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes an alarm component for reminding the heating rod 4 that the temperature rises. The alarm component is arranged on the right side of the fixed frame 1. The alarm component includes a connecting frame 401. The connecting frame 401 is rotatably connected to a rotating disk 402. The rotating disk 402 is fixedly connected to a ring array of reeds 403. The connecting frame 401 is fixedly connected to a bell 404. The bell 404 is used to emit a prompt sound. The reeds 403 in the ring array are all matched with the bell 404 when knocked. The rotating disk 402 drives the reeds 403 in the ring array thereon to knock the bell 404, so that the bell 404 emits a warning sound to remind the staff of the damage of the temperature control element 5. A connecting component for driving its own rotation is arranged on the rotating disk 402 through a connecting piece.

[0038] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the connecting component includes a rotating ring 405, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating disk 402 through a connecting piece, and the outer side of the rotating ring 405 is sealingly rotatably connected to an outer ring 406, and the rotating ring 405 and the outer ring 406 cooperate to form a second closed cavity, and the second closed cavity is filled with hydraulic oil. A second flow pipe 407 is fixedly connected between the first flow pipe 10 and the outer ring 406, and the second flow pipe 407 is filled with hydraulic oil. The first flow pipe 10 is connected to the second closed cavity through the second flow pipe 407, and a limiting component is provided on the rotating ring 405 for docking itself with the first gear 202.

[0039] like Figure 6As shown, the limit assembly includes a sliding cylinder 408, the sliding cylinder 408 is fixed to the inside of the rotating ring 405, the sliding cylinder 408 is connected to the second closed cavity, the sliding cylinder 408 is sealed and slidably connected to the limit piston block 409, the hydraulic oil in the second closed cavity pushes the limit piston block 409 to slide along the sliding cylinder 408, and a second elastic element 410 is provided between the sliding cylinder 408 and the limit piston block 409, the second elastic element 410 is a spring, and the second elastic element 410 is used to drive the limit The piston block 409 is reset, and the elastic coefficient of the second elastic element 410 is greater than the elastic coefficient of the second elastic push rod 9, which is used to allow the hydraulic oil of the first circulation pipe 10 to preferentially enter the fixed part of the second elastic push rod 9. Four limit blocks 411 in an annular array are fixedly connected to the first gear 202, and the four limit blocks 411 in the annular array are all limitedly matched with the limit piston block 409, so that the limit piston block 409 is in contact with the limit block 411, and the rotating disk 402 is driven to rotate synchronously through the rotation of the first gear 202.

[0040] When the temperature control element is damaged, the heating rod 4 continues to heat up, and the gas in the first closed cavity continues to expand. The gas in the first closed cavity continues to push the piston shaft 7, so that the piston shaft 7 pushes the telescopic end of the first elastic push rod 8 to slide along its fixed part, and continuously pushes the hydraulic oil in the fixed part of the first elastic push rod 8 into the fixed part of the second elastic push rod 9, gradually increasing the heat dissipation rate of the heat exchange sleeve 203, until the telescopic end of the second elastic push rod 9 slides to the limit state, and then the gas in the first closed cavity continues to expand. At this time, the hydraulic oil in the fixed part of the first elastic push rod 8 enters the second circulation tube 407 along the first circulation tube 10, and then the hydraulic oil in the second circulation tube 407 enters the second closed cavity formed by the rotating ring 405 and the outer ring 406. At this time, the hydraulic oil in the second closed cavity enters the sliding cylinder 408, and the hydraulic oil in the sliding cylinder 408 The limiting piston block 409 is pushed out, and the second elastic element 410 is compressed. At this time, the first gear 202 rotates to drive the four limiting blocks 411 in the annular array thereon to rotate synchronously, so that the limiting blocks 411 contact the limiting piston block 409 and limit each other.
