Figure 2 As shown, the wire feeding mechanism 100 includes a wire feeding motor 01, a back plate 02, a transmission assembly 08, an extrusion roller 03, and an adjustment assembly 05. The wire feeding motor 01 is fixed to the back plate 02 by bolts, and a drive gear 011 is sleeved on its output shaft to provide power to the wire feeding mechanism. The back plate 02 and the front cover plate 07 are locked together by bolts, providing fixed support for the installation position and rotation of the transmission assembly 08 and the extrusion roller 03.
[0033] The transmission assembly 08 includes a first transmission shaft 081, a second transmission shaft 082, and a driven gear (084) sleeved on the first transmission shaft 081.

[0034] Each of the first drive shaft 081 and the second drive shaft 082 is equipped with an extrusion roller 03 and a driven wheel 083.

[0037] As shown in Figure 3 The wire cutting mechanism 200 includes a wire cutting steering engine 09, a knife holder, a push knife holder 12, a moving blade 11, and a fixed blade 21. The knife holder includes an upper knife holder 10 and a lower knife holder 13, the upper knife holder 10 is installed on the lower knife holder 13 through a rotating shaft pin, the lower knife holder 13 is made of 6061 aluminum alloy and is the main body of the entire wire cutting mechanism, and is locked with the upper knife holder 10 through a screw to ensure the rigidity of the entire mechanism. The upper knife holder 10 is provided with a fixing hole 101, the mounting bracket 07 is provided with a quick release groove 071 and a locking threaded hole 072 for installing the knife holder, and a screw is installed in the fixing hole 101 and the locking threaded hole 072 to install the upper knife holder 10 and the lower knife holder 13 in the quick release groove 071. The middle part of the upper knife holder 10 and the lower knife holder 13 is provided with an opening 102 for the pre-preg wire to pass through.
[0038] The fixed blade 21 is installed in the lower knife holder 13, the moving blade 11 is installed on the push knife holder 12, and the push knife holder 12 is slidingly installed on the lower knife holder 13. The wire cutting steering engine 09 is fixedly installed on the mounting bracket 07, one end of the push knife holder 12 is connected with the wire cutting driving device 09 through a rocker arm 14 to form a crank slider mechanism to convert the rotary motion of the steering engine into linear motion. As shown in Figure 6 The blade 11 is provided with a center-symmetric single-face circular-arc-shaped cutting edge 111, the circular-arc-shaped cutting edge has a gathering effect during wire cutting, has a converging effect on the broken part, and can effectively reduce the difficulty of re-feeding the wire. The blade is also provided with a screw fixing hole 112 and a fixing groove 113, the lower knife holder 13 and the push knife holder 12 are both provided with a positioning key 131 for positioning the blade, and the blade position is fixed through the cooperation of the positioning key 131 and the fixing groove 113, or the blade position is fixed through a screw. The moving blade 11 cooperates with the fixed blade 21 to cut the wire by pushing the push knife holder 12 through the wire cutting steering engine 09.
[0039] As shown in Figure 4As shown, the hot end assembly 300 includes the throat assembly 19, the heat sink 15, the heat sink fan 16, the multi-stage heating block 17, and the nozzle 18. The throat assembly 19 is located at the bottom of the mounting frame 07, and the inside of the throat assembly 19 is hollow, with the top end communicating with the opening 102 of the filament cutting mechanism for the pre-impregnated filament to pass through. The mounting frame 07 is provided with a bayonet 073, and the heat sink 15 is fixed to the bayonet 073 through the hot end clamp block 20. The throat assembly 19 is fixed to the heat sink 15 through a set screw. The clamping block and the buckle are installed in a cooperative manner to ensure the installation strength of the hot end assembly, and can be quickly disassembled and assembled for easy maintenance. The heat sink 15 surrounds the outer wall of the upper section of the throat assembly 19, and the heat sink 15 is also provided with a fan mounting bracket, and the heat sink fan 16 is installed on both sides of the heat sink 15. The heat sink plays a role in dissipating heat for the throat assembly 19 to avoid overheating of the throat assembly 19 and its internal parts, and also prevents the heat of the heating block from spreading to the filament cutting mechanism and the filament feeding mechanism above to cause damage to the structure. The heat sink fan can accelerate the air convection speed of the heat sink fins to accelerate heat dissipation.
[0040] The multi-stage heating block 17 surrounds the outer wall of the lower section of the throat assembly 19, and the multi-stage heating block 17 includes a plurality of heating blocks, each of which has a thermocouple and a heating rod. The temperature of each heating block can be accurately controlled to ensure the temperature stability of each heating zone and the heating effect of the pre-impregnated material. In addition, the heating blocks have a gradient temperature difference when heating, which not only extends the heating zone and improves the heating efficiency, but also avoids the premature melting of the resin matrix and the sticking of the resin matrix in the throat assembly, causing a blockage. The nozzle 18 is installed at the bottom of the throat assembly 19 to provide a downward pressure for the heated pre-impregnated material to ensure that it can be bonded to the already printed substrate. The throat assembly 19 can be made of Teflon tube, which provides a low-friction channel for the pre-impregnated material to heat evenly in the heating zone, improving the printing quality and reducing the probability of blockage.
[0041] The working principle of the printing head of the present application is as follows: the pre-impregnated filament passes through the opening 074 at the top of the mounting frame 7, passes between the two extrusion rollers 03, and then enters the inside of the throat assembly 19 through the opening 102 of the filament cutting mechanism, and finally is sprayed out from the nozzle 18. The two extrusion rollers 03 are driven by the filament feeding motor 01 to move towards each other and press each other, which brings out the pre-impregnated filament in the middle and completes the filament feeding. According to the different filaments used, the distance and clamping force between the extrusion rollers 03 can be adjusted through the adjusting assembly 05 to adapt to various printing requirements. After the filament is fed into the hot end assembly, it first passes through the heat sink part and then passes through the throat assembly. In the throat assembly, the multi-stage heating block heats the pre-impregnated filament, causing the resin matrix on the pre-impregnated filament to melt and reach a printable state. When cutting the filament is needed, the cutting arm is driven by the cutting steering engine, the cutting arm pushes the cutter holder and the cutter fixed thereto to complete the cutting action of the filament. After cutting the filament, each mechanism returns to its original position to prepare for the next filament feeding and cutting.
[0042] The high-speed printing head of the application realizes the adjustment of the distance and clamping force between the extrusion rollers by setting the adjusting assembly, so that the wire feeding mechanism can feed wire materials of different specifications, and is widely applicable; the structure of the extrusion rollers is optimized, and the rubber material on the surface causes less damage to the wire material; the wire cutting mechanism has a simple structure and can realize quick fixing and replacement of the blades; the shape of the wire cutting blades is optimized, the convergence of the single-edged blade on the two sides of the circular arc is good, the wire cutting effect is good, each blade can be used twice, the production cost is reduced, and the resource utilization rate is improved; the structure of the heating area of the hot end assembly is optimized, the heating temperature zone is prolonged by gradient multi-stage heating, the melting speed of the base resin is improved, the risk of plugging is reduced, and the printing speed of the continuous fibers can be greatly improved.
