DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0070] For the purpose of promoting the understanding and facilitating appreciation of the application, the application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The preferred embodiments of the application are shown in the drawings for the purpose of illustration. It should be noted, however, that the application can be practiced in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, the embodiments are provided as examples of the disclosure of the application.

[0071] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or intervening elements can also be present. When an element is referred to as being "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or intervening elements can also be present.

[0072] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in the description of the application herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0073] Reference will now be made to Figures 1 to 5The nozzle structure of the embodiment of the present application comprises a heat dissipation assembly 1, a heating assembly 2, a nozzle assembly 3 and a fixing assembly 4. The heating assembly 2 is arranged in the first direction and spaced apart from the heat dissipation assembly 1. The nozzle assembly 3 is sequentially arranged in the first direction and passes through the heating assembly 2 and the heat dissipation assembly 1. The fixing assembly 4 is threadedly connected to the heat dissipation assembly 1. The fixing assembly 4 can be screwed in the second direction relative to the heat dissipation assembly 1 to abut against the nozzle assembly 3. The fixing assembly 4 can be screwed out in the second direction relative to the heat dissipation assembly 1 to release the nozzle assembly 3. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present application, the nozzle assembly 3 has an opposite feeding end 3a and discharging end 3b. The heating assembly 2 is used to heat the part of the nozzle assembly 3 close to the discharging end 3b, so as to melt the consumables in the part, so that the discharging end 3b of the nozzle assembly 3 can extrude the consumables in the molten state. The heat dissipation assembly 1 is used to dissipate heat to the part of the nozzle assembly 3 close to the feeding end 3a, so that the consumables in the part are not melted and can be smoothly fed towards the discharging end 3b.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present application, the heating assembly 2 is arranged in the first direction and spaced apart from the heat dissipation assembly 1. The nozzle assembly 3 is sequentially arranged in the first direction and passes through the heating assembly 2 and the heat dissipation assembly 1. The fixing assembly 4 is screwed in the second direction to fix the nozzle assembly 3 and the heat dissipation assembly 1, so as to fix the nozzle assembly 3 in the heat dissipation assembly 1 and the heating assembly 2, so as to realize fast installation, convenient use, simple installation process, improved installation efficiency, firm fixation and stable nozzle structure in high-speed movement. The fixing assembly 4 is screwed out in the second direction to release the nozzle assembly 3, so that the nozzle assembly 3 is separated from the heat dissipation assembly 1 and the heating assembly 2 in the first direction, so as to quickly separate the nozzle assembly 3 from other assemblies of the nozzle structure, realize fast disassembly, simplify the fast disassembly steps, improve the disassembly efficiency, solve the problem of complicated fast disassembly operation in the related art, realize one-torque fast disassembly and convenient user use.

[0076] In some preferred embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The fixing assembly 4 can include a guide 41, an abutting member 42 and a fastener 43. The guide 41 is connected to the heat dissipation assembly 1 and extends along the second direction. The abutting member 42 is limited on the guide 41, specifically, the abutting member 42 is threaded on the guide 41 along the second direction and cannot be separated from the guide 41, the abutting member 42 can only move along the second direction on the guide 41 relative to the guide 41 and cannot rotate relative to the guide 41 around the second direction. The fastener 43 is screwed to the heat dissipation assembly 1 and extends along the second direction, one end of the fastener 43 abuts against the abutting member 42. The fastener 43 can be screwed in along the second direction relative to the heat dissipation assembly 1 to apply a pushing force along the second direction to the abutting member 42 until the abutting member 42 abuts the nozzle assembly 3 between the abutting member 42 and the heat dissipation assembly 1. The fastener 43 can also be screwed out along the second direction relative to the heat dissipation assembly 1 to cancel the pushing force so that the abutting member 42 no longer abuts against the nozzle assembly 3, thereby releasing the nozzle assembly 3.

[0077] In the embodiment, the abutting member 42 can only move along the second direction, thereby avoiding the abutting member 42 from rotating with the fastener 43 when the fastener 43 is screwed in or out, which causes the abutting member 42 to fail to effectively fix the nozzle assembly 3.

[0078] As an optional embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The fixing assembly 4 can include two guides 41, the two guides 41 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the abutting member 42, and the abutting member 42 is sleeved on one guide 41 at each end, so that the abutting member 42 can move more stably and effectively along the second direction, and the abutting member 42 can be further prevented from rotating, thereby further improving the abutting effect.

[0079] As an optional embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 The central axis of the abutting member 42 and the central axis of the fastener 43 can be located on the same straight line L, so that the abutting member 42 is more uniformly stressed and can more stably abut against the nozzle assembly 3 or more effectively release the nozzle assembly 3.

[0080] As an example, the guide 41 can be screwed to the heat dissipation assembly 1, which is more convenient for installing and dismounting the guide 41.

[0081] In some preferred embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The fastener 43 comprises a threaded connecting portion 431 and a handle portion 432 which are fixedly integrated along the second direction. The threaded connecting portion 431 is threadedly connected to the heat dissipation assembly 1 and can abut against the abutting member 42, and the handle portion 432 is exposed to the heat dissipation assembly 1. By rotating the handle portion 432, the threaded connecting portion 431 can be screwed in or out along the second direction, so that the abutting member 42 can be tightly abutted against or loosened from the nozzle assembly 3.

[0082] In some more preferred embodiments, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 8 , the fixing assembly 4 can further comprise a first elastic member 44 which is arranged on the side of the handle portion 432 facing the heat dissipation assembly 1. When the abutting member 42 tightly abuts against the nozzle assembly 3, the first elastic member 44 is compressed between the handle portion 432 and the heat dissipation assembly 1 along the second direction. The first elastic member 44 compressed along the second direction can apply a pushing force to the fastener 43 away from the heat dissipation assembly 1. That is, the elastic restoring force of the first elastic member 44 keeps the fastener 43 in a tensioned state, thereby reducing the thread gap between the threaded connecting portion 431 and the heat dissipation assembly 1, preventing the fastener 43 from rotating relative to the heat dissipation assembly 1 during high-speed operation of the nozzle structure, further improving the stability of the nozzle structure, and thereby solving the problem of deflection of the fastener 43 after long-term use, without changing the performance of the nozzle structure even after long-term use.

[0083] As an optional embodiment, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 8 , the first elastic member 44 can be a wear-resistant nitrile O-ring. The wear-resistant nitrile O-ring has the characteristic of elastic restoring force after being extruded, so that the thread gap between the threaded connecting portion 431 and the heat dissipation assembly 1 is smaller, preventing the fastener 43 from rotating relative to the heat dissipation assembly 1 during high-speed operation of the nozzle structure, and further improving the stability of the nozzle structure.

[0084] As an exemplary embodiment, referring to Figure 5 , a fourth matching groove 4321 is formed on the side of the handle portion 432 facing the heat dissipation assembly 1. The first elastic member 44 is interference-fitted with the fourth matching groove 4321, thereby avoiding the first elastic member 44 from falling out of the fourth matching groove 4321, and making the installation more reliable. Specifically, part of the first elastic member 44 is embedded in the fourth matching groove 4321, and another part of the first elastic member 44 is exposed to the fourth matching groove 4321, making the installation convenient and facilitating replacement of the first elastic member 44. When the fastener 43 is screwed in place, the first elastic member 44 is extruded between the handle portion 432 and the heat dissipation assembly 1, and the elastic restoring force of the first elastic member 44 acts as a pushing force on the fastener 43, which can prevent the fastener 43 from rotating relative to the heat dissipation assembly 1.

[0085] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the first elastic member 44 can also be of other materials or other elastic structures, which will not be repeated here.

[0086] In some preferred embodiments, referring to Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the fixing assembly 4 can further include a second elastic member 45. The second elastic member 45 is sleeved on the guide member 41, and one end of the second elastic member 45 close to the nozzle assembly 3 abuts against the heat dissipation assembly 1, and the other end of the second elastic member 45 away from the nozzle assembly 3 abuts against the abutting member 42. In the case that the fastener 43 makes the abutting member 42 abut against the nozzle assembly 3, the second elastic member 45 is compressed between the abutting member 42 and the heat dissipation assembly 1 in the second direction, and the first elastic member 44 compressed in the second direction can apply a pushing force to the fastener 43 away from the heat dissipation assembly 1, thereby further reducing the thread gap between the threaded connection part 431 and the heat dissipation assembly 1, and further solving the problem that the fastener 43 is deflected after long-term use, that is, the performance of the nozzle structure will not change even after long-term use. And when the nozzle assembly 3 needs to be disassembled, as long as the fastener 43 is screwed out in the second direction, due to the compression of the second elastic member 45 between the abutting member 42 and the heat dissipation assembly 1 in the second direction, under the action of the elastic force of the second elastic member 45, the abutting member 42 can quickly loosen the nozzle assembly 3, effectively avoiding the situation that the abutting member 42 is stuck on the guide member 41, causing the abutting member 42 to be unable to loosen the nozzle assembly 3.

[0087] As an optional embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the second elastic member 45 can be a compression spring, which is easy to install, and when the second elastic member 45 fails, it is also convenient to replace the second elastic member 45.

[0088] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the second elastic member 45 can also be of other elastic structures, which will not be repeated here.

[0089] It can be understood that when the fixing assembly 4 includes a plurality of guide members 41, a second elastic member 45 is correspondingly sleeved on each guide member 41, so that the fastener 43 and the abutting member 42 are more uniformly stressed.

[0090] In some examples, referring to Figures 1 to 6The heat dissipation assembly 1 comprises a heat dissipation fin 11, and the heat dissipation fin 11 is provided with a first assembly hole 111 and an assembly cavity 112. The first assembly hole 111 extends through the heat dissipation fin 11 along a first direction, and the assembly cavity 112 is communicated with one side of the first assembly hole 111. The nozzle assembly 3 is arranged in the first assembly hole 111, and part of the outer surface of the nozzle assembly 3 is exposed to the assembly cavity 112. The guide piece 41, the abutting piece 42 and the second elastic piece 45 are arranged in the assembly cavity 112, so as to protect the guide piece 41, the abutting piece 42 and the second elastic piece 45 and improve the service life of the fixing assembly 4. Correspondingly, one end of the second elastic piece 45 close to the nozzle assembly 3 is abutted to the cavity wall of the assembly cavity 112. The heat dissipation fin 11 is further provided with a fifth assembly hole 113, a sixth assembly hole 114 and a seventh assembly hole 115 which are communicated with the assembly cavity 112. The fifth assembly hole 113 is a threaded hole which is screwed with the threaded connection part 431. Specifically, the fifth assembly hole 113 is a through hole and is arranged on the side of the assembly cavity 112 away from the first assembly hole 111. The sixth assembly hole 114 and the seventh assembly hole 115 are arranged corresponding to the guide piece 41. Specifically, the sixth assembly hole 114 is a through hole and is arranged on the side of the assembly cavity 112 away from the first assembly hole 111. The seventh assembly hole 115 is arranged on the first side of the assembly cavity 112 close to the first assembly hole 111, and the seventh assembly hole 115 can be a threaded hole. One end of the guide piece 41 is provided with an external thread matched with the seventh assembly hole 115. The end of the guide piece 41 provided with the external thread can be inserted into the sixth assembly hole 114 along a second direction and then extended into the assembly cavity 112, and then the abutting piece 42 and the second elastic piece 45 are sequentially sleeved on the end of the guide piece 41 extended into the assembly cavity 112, and then the guide piece 41 is screwed into the seventh assembly hole 115, so as to limit the abutting piece 42 and the second elastic piece 45 on the guide piece 41. This not only facilitates installation, but also effectively protects the guide piece 41, the abutting piece 42 and the second elastic piece 45.

[0091] In some preferred embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The side of the abutting piece 42 facing the nozzle assembly 3 can be provided with a first matching groove 421. In the case that the abutting piece 42 abuts against the nozzle assembly 3, the nozzle assembly 3 abuts against the groove wall 4211 of the first matching groove 421.

[0092] In some more preferred embodiments, please refer to Figure 8The first matching groove 421 has two groove walls 4211 arranged at an included angle, and the two groove walls 4211 are symmetrically arranged about the center axis of the nozzle assembly 3 and symmetrically abut the nozzle assembly 3, so that the nozzle assembly 3 is more uniformly stressed and has a larger stress area, reducing damage to the nozzle assembly 3, thereby solving the problem of damage to the nozzle assembly 3 after long-term use, so that the nozzle assembly 3 is not prone to rust.

[0093] As an example, the cross-sectional shape of the first matching groove 421 can be V-shaped, as shown in Figure 8 When the abutting member 42 abuts against the nozzle assembly 3, the two groove walls 4211 are in line contact with the outer wall of the nozzle assembly 3. Compared with point contact, the two groove walls 4211 of the first matching groove 421 are in line contact with the outer wall of the nozzle assembly 3, so that the nozzle assembly 3 is more dispersedly and uniformly stressed and has a larger stress area, thereby reducing damage to the nozzle assembly 3, thereby solving the problem of damage to the nozzle assembly 3 after long-term use, so that the nozzle assembly 3 is not prone to rust. Moreover, even if the nozzle assembly 3 has a machining error, the two groove walls 4211 of the first matching groove 421 can be in line contact with the outer wall of the nozzle assembly 3, ensuring the stability of the nozzle structure and avoiding shaking of the nozzle assembly 3 during high-speed operation of the nozzle structure.

[0094] As an example, the cross-sectional shape of the first matching groove 421 can also be U-shaped, and the two groove walls 4211 are smoothly connected as a whole. When the abutting member 42 abuts against the nozzle assembly 3, the two groove walls 4211 are in surface contact with the outer wall of the nozzle assembly 3, so that the stress area is larger, thereby reducing damage to the nozzle assembly 3, thereby solving the problem of damage to the nozzle assembly 3 after long-term use, so that the nozzle assembly 3 is not prone to rust.

[0095] In some preferred embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7The nozzle assembly 3 comprises a first pipe 31 and a second pipe 32, which are fixedly connected along the first direction, wherein the first pipe 31 is arranged in the heating assembly 2, and the second pipe 32 is arranged in the heat dissipation assembly 1.

The outer radial dimension of the first pipe 31 gradually decreases along the direction close to the second pipe 32, and correspondingly, the hole diameter of the second assembly hole 211 gradually decreases along the direction close to the second pipe 32, which not only prevents the first pipe 31 arranged in the heating assembly 2 from moving upward along the first direction relative to the heating assembly 2, but also realizes the rapid limiting of the nozzle assembly 3 in the heating assembly 2, and improves the stability of the nozzle structure. Moreover, the present embodiment also facilitates the separation of the nozzle assembly 3 from the heating assembly 2. When the nozzle assembly 3 needs to be disassembled, the fastener 43 can be screwed to make the nozzle assembly 3 automatically fall off under the action of gravity, and the gradual decrease of the outer radial dimension of the first pipe 31 along the direction close to the second pipe 32 facilitates the rapid disassembly of the nozzle assembly 3. In addition, the present embodiment can also increase the heat transfer area.

When the first pipe 31 is inserted into the heating assembly 2 along the first direction, the limiting part 312 can be inserted into the second matching groove 212 along the first direction, so as to prevent the nozzle assembly 3 inserted into the heating assembly 2 from rotating relative to the heating assembly 2, so that the nozzle structure is more reliable and stable.
