Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of 3D printing, especially to the field of silicone vat manufacturing, in particular to a silicone vat rapid manufacturing device and method. BACKGROUND

[0002] In a 3D printing device, the vat is a key component for containing liquid or solid printing materials, and its performance directly affects the printing effect and product quality. Silicone material is widely used in the processing and manufacturing of vat of 3D printer due to its good elasticity and sealing property, as well as good compatibility with various printing materials.

[0003] However, due to the technical characteristics of 3D printing device, high quality requirements are put forward for silicone vat. For example, when performing ceramic 3D printing, due to the small solidification thickness of dark ceramic and the weak strength of the embryo, the model is prone to damage or falling off when the model is separated from the release film. In order to reduce the release force as much as possible when the model is separated from the release film, the ceramic 3D printer must ensure the uniformity of the material laying during material laying. The existing 3D printer mostly adopts two ways of material laying, i.e. vat fixed and scraper moving or vat moving and scraper fixed. The way of vat moving and scraper fixed has the advantages of fast material laying speed and material saving. When the way of vat moving and scraper fixed is adopted, if the surface of the silicone vat is uneven or the parallelism between the upper and lower planes of the silicone vat is poor, the angle between the surface of the silicone vat and the scraper will change during the movement of the silicone vat, which causes the thickness of the printing material laid on the silicone vat to be uneven, and further increases the release force when the model is separated from the release film, which increases the possibility of model damage or falling off.

[0004] In addition, the raw material for manufacturing the silicone vat is usually liquid. During the manufacturing of the silicone vat, it needs to be dried and cured and the curing degree needs to be detected to ensure complete curing. In the prior art, the curing degree of the silicone vat is usually detected by surface contact pressing and manual observation of surface color. This detection method is highly subjective and has poor accuracy, and cannot accurately determine the curing degree of the silicone vat and whether the upper and lower planes of the silicone vat are parallel, which further cannot guarantee the quality of the finished silicone vat. At the same time, the detection efficiency is low, which reduces the manufacturing efficiency of the silicone vat. In addition, the operator is prone to be scalded by high temperature during manual detection, which is dangerous. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application provides a silicone vat rapid manufacturing device that can improve the quality of the silicone vat, increase the manufacturing efficiency of the silicone vat and reduce the danger.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the application has the beneficial effects that: the self-leveling property of the first silica gel layer is utilized, the levelness and flatness of the upper surface of the first silica gel layer can be ensured after the first silica gel layer is solidified, the levelness of the bottom surface of the second silica gel layer can be ensured because the second material disc is arranged on the top of the first silica gel layer, the self-leveling property of the second silica gel layer is utilized, the levelness and flatness of the upper surface of the second silica gel layer can be ensured after the second silica gel layer is solidified, and the flatness of the surface of the silica gel tank and the parallelism between the upper and lower planes of the silica gel tank can be ensured because the groove arranged on the second material disc is the same in shape and size with the silica gel tank;

[0008] The detection mechanism can not only detect the hardness of the first silica gel layer and the second silica gel layer to determine whether the first silica gel layer and the second silica gel layer are completely solidified, but also detect the levelness of the first silica gel layer and the second silica gel layer after being solidified, so that the flatness of the surface of the silica gel tank and the parallelism between the upper and lower planes of the silica gel tank can be further ensured, the problem of strong subjectivity, low detection quality and slow detection efficiency in manual detection can be avoided, the manufacturing efficiency of the silica gel tank is improved, the detection mechanism can be moved between the inside and outside of the drying mechanism through the first linear guide rail, the detection mechanism can be moved to the outside of the drying mechanism when the first silica gel tank and the second silica gel tank are dried and solidified, so that the detection mechanism does not need to be in a high-temperature environment for a long time, the possibility that the detection mechanism is affected by high temperature and fails is reduced, the danger of high-temperature scalding of the operator during manual detection is avoided, and the danger of the operator is reduced.

[0009] Preferably, the drying mechanism is provided with a first box door, a second box door and a slide.

[0010] As preferred, the slide is connected with a first rack, the second cabinet door is connected with a first power device, the first power device is connected with a first gear, and the first gear is engaged with the first rack.

[0011] The above-mentioned preferred technical scheme has the beneficial effects that: through the first power device, the first gear and the first rack, the second cabinet door can be driven to move up and down along the slide, thereby being automatically opened when the detection mechanism needs to enter the inside of the drying mechanism and being automatically closed when the first silica gel layer and the second silica gel layer are dried and solidified, which not only avoids temperature loss when the drying mechanism works, but also prevents high temperature from affecting people and objects around the drying mechanism, and improves the automation degree of the silica gel tank manufacturing process and the manufacturing efficiency of the silica gel tank.

[0012] As preferred, the drying mechanism comprises an oven, the first tray is located inside the oven, the oven is connected with a heating component and a uniform temperature plate, the uniform temperature plate is provided with a plurality of uniformly distributed mesh holes, the heating component is located above the first tray, the uniform temperature plate is located between the heating component and the first tray, and the oven is connected with a first detection component.

[0013] The above-mentioned preferred technical scheme has the beneficial effects that: when the heating component works, the heating component can be prevented from directly drying and heating the first silica gel layer or the second silica gel layer through the uniform temperature plate, thereby avoiding the problem of uneven solidification of the first silica gel layer or the second silica gel layer due to different distances from the heating component, so that the heating component can uniformly dry and solidify the first silica gel component or the second silica gel component, and the temperature inside the oven can be detected in real time through the first detection component, thereby automatically controlling the heating component to be turned on or off, so that the temperature inside the oven is maintained within a set range, and adverse effects of too low or too high temperature on the solidification of the first silica gel layer and the second silica gel layer are avoided.

[0014] As preferred, the detection mechanism comprises a first mounting component, a second mounting component and a third mounting component, the first mounting component is slidably connected with the first linear guide rail, the second mounting component is slidably connected with the first mounting component through a first sliding component, the third mounting component is connected with the second mounting component, the second mounting component is connected with a first positioning component, and the third mounting component is connected with a second detection component, a third detection component and a fourth detection component.

[0015] As preferred, the mounting platform is connected with a second rack, the first mounting component is connected with a second power device, the second power device is engaged with the second rack through a second gear, the second mounting component is horizontally connected with a second linear guide rail and a third rack, the third mounting component is slidably connected with the second linear guide rail, the third mounting component is connected with a third power device, and the third power device is engaged with the third rack through a third gear.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the above preferred technical solutions are that the second power device can drive the detection mechanism to move between the inside and outside of the drying mechanism along the first linear guide rail, and the second, third and fourth detection components can be moved to different detection positions of the first and second silica gel layers as needed in cooperation with the third power device.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the above preferred technical solutions are that since the first and second traction components are made of soft material, when the fourth power device rotates forward and the third detection component descends, the third detection component can be ensured to be attached to the surface of the first or second silica gel layer.

[0020] When the third detection component is completely suspended below the second detection component, the value detected by the second detection component is within the set range, and when the third detection component falls onto the surface of the first or second silica gel layer and gradually attaches to the surface of the first or second silica gel layer, the value detected by the second detection component gradually decreases until it exceeds the set range. Therefore, the second detection component can detect whether the third detection component is completely attached to the surface of the first or second silica gel layer, and the second detection component can send a signal to the fourth power device to stop the forward rotation of the fourth power device, thereby preventing the first traction component from loosening due to the continuous forward rotation of the fourth power device after the third detection component attaches to the surface of the first or second silica gel layer.

[0021] As preferred, the third mounting component is connected with a first telescopic device, and the fourth detection component is connected with the first telescopic device.

[0024] The application further provides a rapid manufacturing method of a silica gel tank, which comprises the following steps:

[0025] Step one, initially leveling the installation platform;

[0026] Step two, opening the first box door, and pouring the first silica gel layer into the first tray;

[0028] Step four, the first silica gel layer is statically placed according to the set static time, so that the PDMS silica gel of the first silica gel layer is fully self-leveling and self-defoaming, after the static time of the first silica gel layer ends, the heating component is automatically started, and the first silica gel layer is dried and solidified according to the set heating temperature and heating time, during the drying and solidification of the first silica gel layer, the first detection component detects the temperature in the oven in real time, and when the temperature in the oven exceeds the limited range, an alarm signal is sent and the heating component is automatically turned off;

[0029] Step five, when the set heating time of the first silica gel layer is reached, the second box door is automatically opened, the detection mechanism enters the inside of the oven, and the position of the first silica gel layer in the oven is positioned by the first positioning component;

[0030] Step six, according to the position coordinates of the first silica gel layer, the first telescopic device moves to the set detection position of the first silica gel layer, the first telescopic device drives the fourth detection component to detect the hardness of the first silica gel layer, if multiple detection positions are set, the detection is sequentially performed, if the detected value is within the set hardness value range, the next step is automatically performed, if the detected value is outside the set hardness value range, an alarm signal is sent and standby is waited for manual processing;

[0031] Step seven, according to the position coordinates of the first silica gel layer, the third detection component moves to the detection position of the first silica gel layer, the fourth power device slowly rotates forward, and the second detection component and the third detection component are lowered until the third detection component completely matches the surface of the first silica gel layer. When the value detected by the second detection component is outside the set range, the fourth power device stops rotating forward, the third detection component detects the level of the first silica gel layer, and if the detected value meets the set level value range, a qualified signal is sent. After that, the fourth power device reverses to lift the second detection component and the third detection component to the initial state, and then the detection mechanism completely exits the drying mechanism and enters the standby state. If the detected value is outside the set level value range, an alarm signal is sent and the standby state is entered, waiting for manual processing;

[0032] Step eight, when the temperature in the oven cools to room temperature, open the first door, place the second tray on the first silica gel layer and slide it back and forth to ensure that the bottom surface of the second tray completely matches the first silica gel layer, and pour the second silica gel layer into the second tray;

[0033] Step nine, close the first door, the detection mechanism automatically enters the oven, and the first positioning component positions the second tray and the second silica gel layer in the oven;

During the drying and curing of the second silica gel layer, the first detection component detects the temperature in the oven in real time, and when the temperature in the oven exceeds the limited range, an alarm signal is sent and the heating component is automatically turned off.

[0035] Step eleven, when reaching the set heating time of the second silica gel layer, the second box door is automatically opened, according to the position coordinates of the second silica gel layer, the third detection component moves to the detection position of the set second silica gel layer, the fourth power device slowly rotates forward, so that the second detection component and the third detection component descend until the third detection component completely matches the surface of the second silica gel layer, when the value detected by the second detection component falls out of the set range, the fourth power device stops rotating forward, the third detection component detects the levelness of the second silica gel layer, if the detection value meets the set levelness value range, a qualified signal is sent, then the fourth power device reverses, so that the second detection component and the third detection component rise to the initial state, then the detection mechanism completely exits the drying mechanism and enters the standby state, if the detection quality is out of the set levelness value range, a warning signal is sent and standby is waited for manual processing;

[0036] Step twelve, when the temperature in the oven cools to room temperature, the first box door is opened, the second tray is taken out, and the second silica gel layer in the second tray is taken out, at this time the second silica gel layer is the finished silica gel tank;

The third detection component 322 detects the levelness of the second silica gel layer 7. If the detected value meets the set levelness value range, the electric control system sends a qualified signal. Then the electric control system first controls the fourth power device 308 to reverse, so that the second detection component 321 and the third detection component 322 rise to the initial state, and then drives the detection mechanism 3 to completely exit the drying mechanism 2 through the second power device 306, and enters the standby state.
