Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to additive manufacturing equipment, in particular to a high-speed multi-nozzle FDM printer and a printing process thereof. Background Art
[0002] 3D printing is a type of rapid prototyping technology, also known as additive manufacturing. It is a technology that uses 3D model files as the basis and uses adhesive materials such as powdered metal or plastic to construct objects by printing layer by layer. Among them, the fused deposition 3D printer is a more common type, which completes printing by melting the wire raw material and squeezing it out of the nozzle.
[0003] At present, a Chinese patent with announcement number CN104772907A discloses a multi-color 3D printer, including a movable mounting plate, a plurality of nozzle assemblies, a first transmission assembly, a second transmission assembly and a third transmission assembly. The purpose of multi-color printing is achieved by setting a plurality of nozzle assemblies and making the nozzle assemblies spray materials of different colors.
[0004] The above patent still has shortcomings. The above patent increases the spraying color by adding nozzles. When more spraying colors are required, adding more nozzles and transmission components will greatly increase the manufacturing cost of the equipment. When a single nozzle is working, other nozzles need to be moved to the edge of the transmission component to make processing space for the working nozzle. When the number of nozzles increases, more nozzles stacked at the edge will reduce the movable stroke of the nozzle during work, resulting in an increase in the volume of the equipment itself and a decrease in the maximum volume of the products produced, resulting in poor space utilization. Therefore, existing multi-color 3D printers are usually only provided with one nozzle and one transmission component, and multiple pipes for conveying raw materials are connected to the nozzle. However, when changing colors, the original color raw materials need to be cut off and the residual raw materials in the nozzle need to be sprayed out before printing can continue. When the color conversion is more frequent, a lot of time and raw materials need to be wasted in this process, resulting in low printing efficiency and high printing cost. Summary of the invention

[0028] The nozzle assembly 5 includes a mounting frame 7 fixedly arranged at the output end of the XZ axis moving assembly 3 and a nozzle body 8 detachably arranged on the mounting frame 7. Four input holes 9 for wires to pass through are provided at the upper end of the mounting frame 7. Wires of four different colors enter the mounting frame 7 from the input holes 9. A mounting groove 10 is provided at the bottom of the mounting frame 7. A fixing part 11, a cutting part 12 and a driving part 13 are also provided at the side end of the mounting frame 7. The fixing part 11 is used to fix the nozzle body 8 in the mounting groove 10. The mounting groove 10 and the nozzle body 8 are clearance-matched to ensure the accuracy when changing the nozzle. The cutting part 12 is used to cut the wire. The driving part 13 13 is used to drive the wire to move toward the nozzle body 8. A nozzle replacement assembly 14 is also provided on the processing platform 6. Four nozzle bodies 8 are provided on the nozzle replacement assembly 14. Different nozzle bodies 8 correspond to wires of different colors. When the wire needs to be changed in color, the nozzle body 8 installed in the installation groove 10 is placed back into the nozzle replacement assembly 14, and the corresponding nozzle body 8 is reinstalled in the installation groove 10, so that there is no need to squeeze out the melted wire in the nozzle body 8, and the steps of squeezing out excess material in the nozzle body 8 and cutting off excess material are omitted, thereby increasing printing efficiency and reducing material waste.
[0029] The nozzle replacement assembly 14 includes a turntable 15, and a motor for driving the turntable 15 to rotate is provided at the bottom of the turntable 15. Four storage holes 16 are opened on the turntable 15, and the four nozzle bodies 8 are respectively arranged in the storage holes 16.

At this time, the annular cutter 23 cuts off the unmelted wire material to separate the unmelted wire material from the nozzle body 8. At this time, the nozzle body 8 will not pull the unmelted wire material after it is detached from the installation slot 18. The electric cylinder 19 drives the slot push plate 20 to fix the other nozzle body 8 while returning the annular cutter 23 to its original position.
[0031] The driving member 13 includes a servo motor 26, a driving roller 27 and four driven rollers 28. The driving roller 27 and the driven roller 28 are arranged at the lower end of the input hole 9. There is a gap between the driving roller 27 and the driven roller 28. The wire hangs down and passes through the gap between the driving roller 27 and the driven roller 28. The driving roller 27 is fixed to the output end of the servo motor 26. Four roller ring grooves 29 are opened on the driving roller 27. A center rod 30 is also arranged in the mounting frame 7. The center rod 30 is square. The middle of the driven roller 28 is evenly spaced. A square groove 31 is provided, and the square groove 31 and the center rod 30 are slidably matched. A spring 32 is also provided between the square groove 31 and the center rod 30. An outer roller ring 33 is also provided on the outside of the driven roller 28. A self-lubricating ring 34 is provided between the outer roller ring 33 and the driven roller 28. The outer roller ring 33 rotates around the driven roller 28. A pressure roller assembly 35 is also provided on the side of the driven roller 28 away from the active roller 27. The pressure roller assembly 35 is used to push a certain driven roller 28 toward the active roller 27 and make the outer roller ring 33 fit the active roller 27.
[0032] like Figure 4 , Figure 7 As shown, the pressure roller assembly 35 includes a supporting shell 36 and a plurality of push rods 37. The supporting shell 36 is arranged on the outside of the mounting frame 7. A push roller 38 is arranged at one end of the push rod 37. The push roller 38 is rotatably arranged at its end. A slider 42 is fixedly arranged at the side end of the push rod 37. A cavity 40 is opened in the supporting shell 36. The push roller 38 is arranged in the cavity 40. A sliding hole 41 is opened at the side end of the cavity 40. The push rod 37 passes through the sliding hole 41. A limiting groove 39 cooperating with the slider 42 is arranged at the side wall of the sliding hole 41. The slider 42 and the limiting groove 39 are both square and are used to limit the rotation of the push rod 37. A threaded hole 43 is also arranged at the bottom of the sliding hole 41. A push plate 44 is arranged in the threaded hole 43. The push plate 44 is threadedly connected with the threaded hole 43 and abuts against the push rod 37. An adjusting component 45 for driving the push plate 44 to rotate is also arranged at the nozzle replacement component 14.
[0033] When a wire of a certain color needs to move toward the nozzle body 8, the adjustment component 45 drives the corresponding push rod 37 to move toward the driven roller 28, so that the push roller 38 presses against the corresponding driven roller 28, and the driven roller 28 moves toward the active roller 27. At this time, the square groove 31 inside the driven roller 28 compresses the spring 32, and the outer roller ring 33 outside the driven roller 28 presses the wire in the roller ring groove 29. When the active roller 27 rotates, the outer roller ring 33 is driven to rotate by friction and the wire is fed into the nozzle body 8. When it is necessary to replace the wire of another color, the adjustment component 45 drives the push plate 44 originally moving toward the driven roller 28 to move back. At this time, the elastic energy stored in the spring 32 between the square groove 31 and the center rod 30 is released, pushing the driven roller 28 and the push rod 37 back, and then pushing the driven roller 28 corresponding to the required color wire to move.
[0034] The adjustment component 45 includes a mounting platform 49 and four servo motors 46 arranged on the mounting platform 49. The output ends of the servo motors 46 are all provided with hexagonal heads 47. The push plate 44 is provided with a hexagonal slot 48. When the color of the wire needs to be changed, the XZ axis moving component 3 and the Y axis moving component 4 drive the mounting frame 7 to move to the adjustment component 45. The turntable 15 rotates the required nozzle body 8 to the replacement station in advance. The hexagonal head 47 is arranged above the replacement station. When the nozzle body 8 is replaced, the XZ axis moving component 3 and the Y axis moving component 4 drive the mounting frame 7 to move to the adjustment component 45. The dynamic support shell 36 moves to the corresponding position of the hexagonal head 47, the center distance between the output ends of the four servo motors 46 is consistent with the center distance between the threaded holes 43 opened on the support shell 36, the XZ-axis moving assembly 3 drives the support housing to move toward the hexagonal head 47 and pushes the hexagonal head 47 into the hexagonal groove 48, and the servo motor 46 drives the hexagonal head to rotate to complete the adjustment of the corresponding driven roller 28. Four servo motors are used to make the angle between the hexagonal head and its corresponding hexagonal groove 48 consistent to prevent equipment damage caused by the different angles between the hexagonal head and the hexagonal groove 48.
[0035] Embodiment 2:
