Detailed Implementation
[0025] This invention provides a 3D printer. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and effects of this invention clearer and more explicit, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
[0026] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "middle," "inner side," "outer side," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship of this invention based on the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features.
[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 6This invention provides a 3D printer, including a heating chamber 1, a working chamber inside the heating chamber 1, a turntable heat shield 2 inside the working chamber, a heat insulation cavity 21 inside the turntable heat shield 21, a turntable drive assembly 3 inside the heat insulation cavity 21, a rotating platform 4 on the turntable heat shield 2, the rotating platform 4 being drivenly connected to the turntable drive assembly 3, a nozzle assembly 5 on the top of the working chamber, the nozzle assembly 5 being connected to the top of the heating chamber 1 via a three-axis movable seat 6, a parallel drive mechanism 7 outside the heating chamber 1 being drivenly connected to the three-axis movable seat 6, and a heating mechanism 8 communicating with the working chamber on the heating chamber 1; the turntable drive assembly 3 is used to drive the rotating platform 4 to perform three-axis motion.
[0028] In practical use, the design of the heating chamber 1 and the working cavity ensures temperature control during the 3D printing process. This is crucial for 3D printing technologies such as fused deposition modeling, ensuring that the material remains in a proper molten state during printing, thereby improving print quality. Secondly, the design of the turntable heat shield 2 and the heat shield cavity 21 effectively isolates heat, protecting the turntable drive assembly 3 from high temperatures, extending the equipment's lifespan, and ensuring the stability of the printing process. Furthermore, the turntable heat shield 2 has the advantage of compressing the heating space volume, significantly saving energy consumption for heating by reducing the volume of space requiring heating. Simultaneously, a smaller heating space means a shorter time for the cavity temperature to reach the required printing temperature, thus reducing waiting time and improving printing efficiency. The turntable drive assembly 3, in conjunction with the rotating platform 4, allows the printing platform to perform precise three-axis movements, which not only improves printing flexibility but also enables the printing of complex, high-precision 3D models. The three-axis movable seat 6 allows the nozzle to move freely in three-dimensional space, further improving printing flexibility and accuracy. The parallel drive mechanism 7 provides more stable and faster motion control for the three-axis movable seat 6, which is significant for improving printing speed and quality. Both the three-axis movable seat 6 and the parallel drive mechanism 7 are located outside the working chamber and are not affected by heat sources, effectively extending the equipment's lifespan. The heating mechanism 8 is connected to the working chamber, ensuring uniform temperature distribution throughout the chamber, which is particularly important for printing large or complex models.
[0029] It should be noted that the heating mechanism 8 can be a device with heating function, such as a hot air blower or an electric heating wire assembly.
[0030] It should be noted that the parallel drive mechanism 7 can be an existing parallel robot.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the three-axis movable seat 6 further includes a first movable platform 61 and a second movable platform 62. The first movable platform 61 is located inside the working cavity, and the second movable platform 62 is located outside the heating chamber 1. The first movable platform 61 and the second movable platform 62 are connected by at least three ball joint slider mechanisms 63. The ball joint slider mechanisms 63 are disposed on the heating chamber 1, and both ends of the ball joint slider mechanisms 63 are ball joint connected to the first movable platform 61 and the second movable platform 62, respectively. The nozzle assembly 5 includes a nozzle part 51 and a filament extrusion part 52. The filament extrusion part 52 communicates with the nozzle part 51. The nozzle part 51 is disposed on the first movable platform 61, and the filament extrusion part 52 and the parallel drive mechanism are respectively disposed on the second movable platform 62. Through the coordinated work of the first movable platform 61 and the second movable platform 62, a high-precision and flexible printing process is achieved. The first movable platform 61 is located inside the working chamber, ensuring a stable printing environment and temperature control. The second movable platform 62 is located outside the heating chamber 1, preventing high temperatures from affecting the extrusion section 52 and the parallel drive mechanism 7, thus extending the equipment's lifespan. The two platforms are connected by at least three ball-and-slider mechanisms 63. This structure not only improves the smoothness of movement but also enhances stability and accuracy during printing. The three ball-and-slider mechanisms 63 connect the first movable platform 61 and the second movable platform 62, forming a parallelogram structure, which stably transmits the three-axis motion of the second movable platform 62 to the first movable platform 61.
[0032] Furthermore, the nozzle assembly 5, positioned on the first movable platform 61, allows for more precise control of material deposition, while the parallel drive mechanism 7, located on the second movable platform 62, provides stronger power support and faster response. This design enables the 3D printer to maintain high speed and high precision when performing complex printing tasks, thereby significantly improving printing efficiency and product quality.
[0033] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the ball-joint slider mechanism 63 further includes a ball-joint base 631 and a slide rod 632. The ball-joint base 631 is disposed on the heating chamber 1, and a rotating groove 633 is provided inside the ball-joint base 631. A rotatable ball rotor 634 is disposed inside the rotating groove 633, and a through hole is provided on the ball rotor 634. The slide rod 632 is slidably connected to the through hole, and both ends of the slide rod 632 are respectively connected to the first movable platform 61 and the second movable platform 62 through a ball-joint chain assembly 635. The ball-joint slider mechanism 63 enables the 3D printer to achieve a precise layer-by-layer printing process, ensuring that each layer of material is accurately placed in a predetermined position. The combination of the ball-joint base 631 and the slide rod 632 allows the nozzle assembly 5 to move flexibly within the heating chamber 1, while the cooperation of the ball rotor 634 and the through hole ensures the smooth movement of the slide rod 632, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of printing. Furthermore, by connecting the slide bar 632 to the first movable platform 61 and the second movable platform 62 via the ball joint assembly 635, stable support and flexible adjustment of the movable platforms can be achieved, ensuring that the first movable platform 61 and the second movable platform 62 remain horizontal during movement, further improving the controllability of the printing process and the quality of the printed product.
[0034] It should be noted that the slide bar 632 is made of a material with low thermal conductivity, such as carbon fiber or ceramic.
[0035] In one embodiment, a grease layer is provided on the rotating groove 633, the through hole, and the ball hinge assembly 635; the grease layer not only serves to lubricate, but also to seal and insulate the installation gap.
[0036] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the turntable heat insulation cover 2 further includes a bellows box 22, the heat insulation cavity 21 is located inside the bellows box 22, a sealing plate assembly 23 is provided on the top of the bellows box 22, the rotating platform 4 is mounted on the sealing plate assembly 23, and the turntable drive assembly 3 is connected to the sealing plate assembly 23 and the rotating platform 4 respectively. By adopting the bellows box 22 structure, the structural stability and reliability of the turntable heat insulation cover 2 are significantly improved. This ensures the accuracy and stability of the rotating platform 4 during operation. Through the implementation of effective sealing design, external heat and dust are successfully isolated, thereby protecting the turntable drive device and extending its service life. In addition, the installation environment of the turntable drive assembly 3 is optimized, improving its operating efficiency and reliability, thereby enhancing the performance of the entire equipment. The bellows box 22 structure can adjust its shape according to the motion requirements when the rotating platform 4 performs dual-axis motion, ensuring that the sealing performance is not damaged during the motion and maintaining the overall sealing effect of the system. This design not only improves the thermal insulation performance of the equipment, but also ensures its reliability and stability during dynamic movement.
[0037] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the heating chamber 1 is further equipped with a cooling mechanism 9, which has an air inlet and an air outlet, both of which are connected to the heat insulation cavity 21. This mechanism relies primarily on the coordinated operation of the air inlet and outlet to effectively manage the heat generated by the turntable drive assembly 3. The design of the air inlet allows air from the outside space to smoothly enter the heat insulation cavity 21. This process requires consideration not only of airflow efficiency but also of air cleanliness to prevent dust and other particles from damaging the turntable drive assembly 3. The internal structural design of the heat insulation cavity 21 is also crucial, ensuring that air flows evenly through all parts of the turntable drive assembly 3 for comprehensive cooling. After heat is absorbed, the hot air is rapidly discharged through the air outlet to ensure efficient exhaust while minimizing impact on the surrounding environment. In this way, heat accumulation within the heat insulation cavity 21 is effectively controlled, preventing performance issues caused by overheating of the turntable drive assembly 3.
[0038] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the cooling mechanism 9 further includes a base 91, an air inlet assembly 92, and an air outlet assembly 93. The base 91 is disposed at the bottom of the heat insulation cavity 21. The air inlet assembly 92 and the air outlet assembly 93 are respectively disposed on the heating box 1. An air inlet slot 94 and an air outlet slot 95 are respectively disposed on both sides of the base 91. The air inlet assembly 92 is connected to the air inlet slot 94, and the air outlet assembly 93 is connected to the air outlet slot 95. The air inlet assembly 92, the air inlet slot 94, the air outlet slot 95, and the air outlet assembly 93 form an air flow channel. This air flow channel can accelerate the airflow speed in the heat insulation cavity 21, thereby effectively improving the heat dissipation effect of the overall heat dissipation system and ensuring that the heat inside the turntable drive assembly 3 can be quickly removed, thereby maintaining the turntable drive assembly 3 at the optimal operating temperature.
[0039] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, further, the air inlet pipe 921 assembly includes an air inlet pipe 921; the air outlet assembly 93 includes an air outlet pipe 931; a groove 11 is provided at the bottom of the heating chamber 1, at least a portion of the air inlet pipe 921 and the air outlet pipe 931 are located within the groove 11, one end of the air inlet pipe 921 is connected to the air inlet slot 94, and one end of the air outlet pipe 931 is connected to the air outlet slot 95. Fan assemblies are respectively installed within the air inlet pipe 921 and the air outlet pipe 931. The groove 11 allows for a more reasonable installation of the air inlet pipe 921 and the air outlet pipe 931, making the overall 3D printer design more compact. The fan assembly accelerates the airflow speed within the pipes, effectively improving the overall heat dissipation effect of the cooling system. Through the operation of the fan, air can be drawn in and expelled more quickly, ensuring that the heat inside the equipment is rapidly removed, thereby maintaining the equipment at its optimal operating temperature.
[0040] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the turntable drive assembly 3 further includes a first rotary joint assembly 31, on which a vertical rotating groove 32 is provided. A second rotary joint assembly 33, which is pulsatorically connected to the first rotary joint assembly 31, is disposed within the vertical rotating groove 32. The output end of the second rotary joint assembly 33 extends towards the sealing plate assembly 23, passes through the sealing plate assembly 23, and connects to the rotating platform 4. The first rotary joint assembly 31 drives the rotating platform 4 to rotate vertically; the second rotary joint assembly 33 drives the rotating platform 4 to rotate horizontally. Through the first rotary joint assembly 31 and the second rotary joint assembly 33, precise control of the rotating platform 4 in both vertical and horizontal directions can be achieved, enabling three-axis motion of the rotating platform 4. The first rotary joint assembly 31 is responsible for vertical rotation, ensuring that the rotating platform 4 can rotate along the vertical axis, thereby adapting to printing requirements at different angles. The second rotary joint assembly 33 is responsible for horizontal rotation, allowing the rotating platform 4 to flexibly adjust its angle to adapt to various operating positions. This dual-joint design not only improves the flexibility and adaptability of the equipment, but also ensures that operators can perform their work in the most convenient way in complex working environments, thereby improving overall work efficiency and operational accuracy.
[0041] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the sealing plate assembly 23 further includes a sealing plate 231, which is connected to the top opening of the bellows box 22 via a first sealing frame 232. The rotating platform 4 is mounted on the sealing plate 231, and the turntable drive assembly 3 is connected to the sealing plate 231 and the rotating platform 4 respectively. The bottom opening of the bellows box 22 is connected to the bottom of the working chamber via a second sealing frame 233. The first sealing frame 232 ensures the sealing of the gap between the sealing plate 231 and the bellows box 22, and the second sealing frame 233 ensures the sealing of the gap between the bellows box 22 and the working chamber, effectively improving the overall sealing effect of the bellows box 22 and preventing heat from entering the heat insulation cavity 21 through the installation gap.
[0042] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, further, a door opening communicating with the working chamber is provided on one side of the heating chamber 1. A door body 12 is provided outside the door opening, and an observation window 13 is provided on the door body 12. The door body 12 is used to open or close the door opening. The door opening is used to take out and put in items. The door body 12 ensures that the door opening can maintain good sealing performance when not in use, and can also effectively prevent outside air and pollutants from entering the interior of the heating chamber 1, thereby maintaining the stability of the internal environment of the heating chamber 1. In addition, the observation window 13 on the door body 12 allows the user to view the internal condition of the chamber without opening the door body 12, reducing unnecessary temperature fluctuations and energy consumption.
[0043] In summary, the heating chamber 1 and the working cavity ensure temperature control during the 3D printing process, which is crucial for 3D printing technologies such as fused deposition modeling. This ensures the material maintains a suitable molten state during printing, thereby improving print quality. Secondly, the design of the turntable heat shield 2 and the heat shield cavity 21 effectively isolates heat transfer, providing excellent protection for the turntable drive assembly 3, avoiding the effects of high temperatures, extending the equipment's lifespan, and ensuring the stability of the printing process. Furthermore, the turntable heat shield 2 has the advantage of compressing the heating space volume. By reducing the volume of space requiring heating, energy consumption for heating can be significantly saved. Simultaneously, a smaller heating space means a shorter time for the cavity temperature to reach the required printing temperature, thus reducing waiting time in the printing process and improving printing efficiency. The coordinated work of the turntable drive assembly 3 and the rotating platform 4 enables the printing platform to perform precise three-axis movements, which not only enhances printing flexibility but also makes it possible to print complex, high-precision 3D models. The design of the three-axis movable seat 6 allows the nozzle to move freely in three-dimensional space, further improving printing flexibility and accuracy. The use of the parallel drive mechanism 7 provides more stable and faster motion control for the three-axis movable seat 6, which is of great significance for improving printing speed and print quality. Both the three-axis movable seat 6 and the parallel drive mechanism 7 are located outside the working cavity, avoiding the influence of heat sources and thus effectively extending the service life of the equipment.
