Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of 3D printers, and in particular to a cooling device for a laser 3D printer. Background Art

[0002] SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) 3D printing technology is a type of digital laser sintering technology. It mainly uses two-dimensional laser scanning technology to sinter advanced powder materials accurately at the required position to form the required three-dimensional object shape.

[0003] The SLS printer first uses a laser to sinter the material into the first layer on the sintering platform. The high-energy heat generated by the laser source causes the powder material to fuse. Then the second layer of material is added and the laser irradiation completely fuses the second layer of material with the first layer. After repeated laser sintering and layer-by-layer stacking of materials, the desired three-dimensional object is finally obtained.

[0004] Most of the materials printed by laser sintering 3D printers are metal powder materials, so the laser beam power it emits is very high to ensure that the powder particles can be sintered together smoothly. In addition, in order to reduce thermal deformation during the printing process and facilitate the combination of each layer of powder, the workbench needs to preheat the powder layer and heat it to a temperature slightly lower than the melting point of the powder. Therefore, the internal molding temperature of the laser sintering 3D printer during the printing process generally reaches hundreds of degrees. Therefore, the cooling facilities used by the laser 3D printer are an important part of ensuring its stable operation and high-quality printing; and the existing cooling system on the laser 3D printer has certain defects.

The air cooling module 7 is an existing air cooling and heat dissipation device on the market. During the printing process, the heat transfer circulation part 5 and the air cooling module 7 are used to cool down the temperature by using the dual effect of the heat transfer circulation part 5 and the air cooling module 7 to ensure a better cooling effect; The heat transfer circulation part 5 and the reflux supply part 6 are connected to each other.

The cooling device for the laser 3D printer can absorb the heat generated by the laser head 3 in real time and quickly through the intermediate conduction mechanism 4 to complete the heat transfer, and then the heat transfer circulation part 5 will subsequently take away the heat on the intermediate conduction mechanism 4 to achieve indirect cooling of the laser head 3, while ensuring that the cooling effect is not affected and avoiding direct contact between the heat transfer circulation part 5 containing liquid and the laser head 3, effectively improving the safety performance, and the heat transfer circulation part 5 can realize the circulation and uniform circulation of the cooling liquid in the 3D printer body 1 and on the intermediate conduction mechanism 4, so as to timely absorb and take away the heat of the intermediate conduction mechanism 4, indirectly complete the cooling of the laser head 3, and then effectively reduce the heat rampant in the 3D printer body 1 at the source, and the heat can be taken away by the heat transfer circulation part 6. The used coolant flowing out of the flow section 5 is received and stored, and the coolant that absorbs the overheat can be caused to quickly dissipate heat in the reflux supply section 6, so that the temperature of the coolant is quickly reduced and then the coolant is replenished into the heat transfer circulation section 5 again, thereby ensuring that the temperature of the coolant circulating in the 3D printer body 1 will not be too high, so that the coolant always maintains a large temperature difference with the temperature in the 3D printer body 1, so as to maintain the good performance of the coolant for a long time. The cooling device of the laser 3D printer accurately and effectively cools the heat source in a long-term stable manner in an efficient heat dissipation manner, fundamentally reducing the spread of heat, and using the air cooling module 7 in conjunction with traditional air cooling to ensure that an excellent cooling effect is obtained under the joint action of the dual measures, effectively and effectively controlling the temperature in the 3D printer body 1 within a reasonable range, and ensuring the stable operation and high-quality printing of the 3D printer body 1.

The first water tank 53 is filled with cooling liquid. When printing is in progress, the heat continuously emitted by the laser head 3 is absorbed by the intermediate conduction mechanism 4 in time, completing the transfer of heat from the laser head 3 to the intermediate conduction mechanism 4. At the same time, the cooling liquid in the first water tank 53 is sequentially pumped under the pressure of the submersible pump 54. The cooling liquid flows in the inner delivery pipe 55 and the main pipe 56, and finally flows to the reflux supply part 6 through the return pipe 57, so as to realize the flow of the cooling liquid in the 3D printer body 1 and on the surface of the septum conduction mechanism 4, ensuring that the cooling liquid can complete the heat exchange with the surface of the septum conduction mechanism 4 through the continuous flow of the cooling liquid, absorb and take away the heat contained in it, and then complete the indirect cooling of the laser head 3, fundamentally controlling the laser head 3 as a heat source to continuously emit heat in the 3D printer body 1; the evenly distributed main pipe 56 ensures that the surface of the septum conduction mechanism 4 is covered as much as possible, so as to ensure that the heat transferred from the laser head 3 on the septum conduction mechanism 4 can be absorbed and taken away in a timely and efficient manner; in addition, the inner delivery pipe 55, the main pipe 56 and the return pipe 57 in the 3D printer body 1 can also take away the heat dissipated inside the 3D printer body 1 to a certain extent, and cooperate with the air cooling module 7 to obtain multiple heat dissipation and cooling effects, ensuring that the overall temperature of the 3D printer body 1 can be controlled within a reasonable range, providing a solid guarantee for its stable operation and high-quality printing.

At the same time, the fan 62 is started to blow upwards so that there is wind blowing around the second water tank 65, thereby further accelerating the cooling speed of the coolant in the second water tank 65, and quickly dissipating the heat absorbed by the coolant when flowing in the 3D printer body 1, thereby ensuring that the coolant always maintains a large temperature difference with the temperature in the 3D printer body 1 to prevent the performance of the coolant from being reduced, thereby ensuring that the coolant circulating in the heat transfer circulation part 5 can have a long-term excellent heat transfer cooling effect, and cool the 3D printer body 1 well; after the second water tank 65 stores the coolant for a period of time, the water pump 66 is started to pump the coolant in the second water tank 65 back to the first water tank 53 to prevent the coolant in the first water tank 53 from being exhausted, thereby ensuring the circulation of the coolant in the 3D printer body 1 and on the outer conductive cover 42 during printing.

[0023] Optionally, the reflux supply unit 6 further includes a pointed bump 69 installed at the bottom of the second water tank 65; The pointed protrusion 69 is close to the fan 62.

The lifting platform 2 will move up layer by layer as the printing progresses. The inner delivery pipe 55 and the return pipe 57 are relatively fixed by two sets of brackets 58 and two sleeves 59 to prevent the inner delivery pipe 55 and the return pipe 57 from swinging randomly and obstructing the movement of the lifting platform 2, so as to prevent accidents. A section of the inner delivery pipe 55 and the return pipe 57 close to the two sleeves 59 is winding, that is, under normal circumstances, a part of the inner delivery pipe 55 and the return pipe 57 is in a relaxed state, ensuring that the inner delivery pipe 55 and the return pipe 57 can be gradually stretched as the lifting platform 2 rises to prevent interruption of the delivery of the coolant.
