DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside" and the like indicate positions or positional relationships based on the positions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific position, be constructed and operated in a specific position, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. The following describes various embodiments of the present invention in detail in conjunction with the drawings.

[0017] Example 1 See also Figures 1 to 8 The present invention preferably provides a technical solution: a heating component of a print head, comprising: a bracket 1, a feed heating chamber component, a spherical heating chamber component 2 and a discharge pipe component 5 arranged on the bracket 1 and distributed in an upper, middle and lower manner, the spherical heating chamber component 2 placed in the middle can form a spherical heating chamber between the feed end and the discharge end of the print head; the spherical heating chamber component 2 is composed of a sphere 201, an outer cover shell placed on the outer periphery of the sphere 201, and a first annular heating tube 202 and a second annular heating tube 205, wherein the first annular heating tube 202 and the second annular heating tube 205 are respectively arranged on the opposite surfaces of the sphere 201 and the outer cover shell so that a heating chamber is formed between the sphere 201 and the outer cover shell, which is used for uniformly heating and melting the wire.

[0018] In this embodiment, the feed heating chamber assembly, the spherical heating chamber assembly 2 and the discharge pipe assembly 5 are arranged in the upper, middle and lower parts. Figure 1 , 4, 5, and the spherical heating chamber assembly 2 in the middle can form a spherical heating chamber between the feed end (feed heating chamber assembly) and the discharge end (discharge pipe assembly 5) of the print head, which is used for uniform heating and melting of the wire. The spherical heating chamber assembly 2 in the present application is composed of a sphere 201, an outer cover shell arranged on the outer periphery of the sphere 201, and a first annular heating tube 202 and a second annular heating tube 205, wherein the first annular heating tube 202 and the second annular heating tube 205 are respectively arranged on the opposite surfaces of the sphere 201 and the outer cover shell, thereby forming a heating chamber with heating effects both inside and outside between the sphere 201 and the outer cover shell. This design not only improves the uniformity of heating of the consumables, but also ensures the heating efficiency.

[0019] Furthermore, the outer cover shell includes an upper cover shell 203 fixed to the middle part of the bracket 1, and a lower cover component 204 adapted to engage with the upper cover shell 203, the lower cover component 204 includes an electric telescopic rod 2041 fixed to the bottom of the bracket 1, and a mounting frame 2042 fixed to the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 2041, and the mounting frame 2042 is connected to two pairs of rotatable mounting rings 2043 through mounting columns arranged at opposite ends thereof, and each pair of mounting rings 2043 is provided with two, the two mounting rings 2043 close to the inner side are fixed to one of the lower cover shells 2044, and the two mounting rings 2043 close to the outer side are fixed to the other lower cover shell 2044; it also includes an engaging drive assembly 6, when the electric telescopic rod 2041 is extended, The meshing drive assembly 6 can realize the process of the two lower cover shells 2044 being brought together and moved upward to dock with the upper cover shell 203. When the electric telescopic rod 2041 retracts, the two lower cover shells 2044 are separated from the upper cover shell 203 and the expansion process after separation is realized; further, the meshing drive assembly 6 includes a support rod 601, and long racks 605 respectively fixed at both ends of the support rod 601; it also includes arc-shaped racks 604 respectively arranged on the outer walls of the two lower cover shells 2044, wherein the arc-shaped racks 604 are meshed with their corresponding long racks 605; the support rod 601 is close to the connecting block 602 at the end of the bracket 1, which is slidably installed in the inside of the slide groove opened on the side wall of the bracket 1 and is longitudinally connected to the top of the slide groove by a first spring 603.

[0020] Here, the upper cover shell 203 and the lower cover component 204 are adapted to be combined to form the entire spherical cover shell on the outer periphery of the sphere 201. In the present application, the upper cover shell 203 and the lower cover component 204 have opening and closing characteristics to clean the residue of the melted wire inside the spherical heating cavity; Combination Figure 1 , 4, 5, 6, and 7, the mounting frame 2042 is fixed to the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 2041, and its opposite end is connected to two pairs of rotatable mounting rings 2043 through mounting columns, and each pair of mounting rings 2043 is provided with two, the two mounting rings 2043 near the inner side are fixed to one of the lower cover shells 2044, and the two mounting rings 2043 near the outer side are fixed to the other lower cover shell 2044, and the mounting rings 2043 near the outer side are fixed to the other lower cover shell 2044. Figure 6 As shown, the driving assembly provided here can enable the two lower covers 2044 to realize longitudinal movement and the process of closing or separating with the upper cover 203, and realize the process of merging and separating the two lower covers 2044; Specific, combined Figure 1 As shown in the figure, when the electric telescopic rod 2041 is extended, the electric telescopic rod 2041 drives the mounting frame 2042, the mounting ring 2043 and the lower cover 2044 at its end to move upward as a whole. Since the arc-shaped rack 604 on the outer wall of the lower cover 2044 is meshed with the long rack 605 that is fixed at this time, the two lower covers 2044 can be relatively deflected downward by the meshing characteristics of the arc-shaped rack 604 and the long rack 605, so that ... arc-shaped The combination forms a semicircle, and as the electric telescopic rod 2041 is further extended, since the two lower cover shells 2044 are combined, the long rack 605 and the arc-shaped rack 604 are equivalent to a buckle, and the two long racks 605 can move upward under the action of their corresponding arc-shaped racks 604, thereby causing the support rod 601 and the connecting block 602 to move upward and the connecting block 602 to be compressed until the two lower cover shells 2044 and the upper cover shell 203 are closed and form a full circle; When the electric telescopic rod 2041 is Figure 1 When the lower cover 2044 moves downward, the two lower cover shells 2044 can move downward, and the connecting block 602, the support rod 601 and the long rack 605 move downward with the lower cover shell 2044. The reason is that: the first spring 603 is Figure 1 It is in a compressed state. When it loses pressure, its restoring power can make the connecting block 602, the support rod 601 and the long rack 605 move downward with the lower cover shell 2044 until they move to the initial upward point of the connecting block 602, that is, the bottom of the slide groove. Then the electric telescopic rod 2041 moves further downward. At this time, the support rod 601, the connecting block 602 and the long rack 605 remain stationary, and the two lower cover shells 2044 can realize the deflection separation process in the separation direction under the mutual meshing action of the long rack 605 and the arc-shaped rack 604.

[0021] Example 2 As another embodiment of the present invention, the discharge pipe assembly 5 includes a branch pipe 501 fixed at the bottom of each lower cover shell 2044 and connected to the lower cover shell 2044, and a hose 502 arranged at the bottom ends of the two branch pipes 501; it also includes a connecting pipe 503 connected to the bottom end of the hose 502, and the support rod 601 is fixed on the connecting pipe 503.

[0022] Combination Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 4, it is known that the two lower covers 2044 have the functions of merging and separating. Here, the top of the hose 502 is connected to the two lower covers 2044 through two branch pipes 501, and the bottom is connected with a connecting pipe 503. Therefore, when the two lower covers 2044 are running, the hose 502 is deformed to adapt to the movement characteristics of the two lower covers 2044 while ensuring the discharge process.

[0023] Example 3 As other embodiments of the present invention, a feed heating chamber assembly is composed of a stirring chamber assembly 3 and a spiral conveying chamber assembly 4; wherein the spiral conveying chamber assembly 4 is placed between the stirring chamber assembly 3 and the spherical heating chamber assembly 2 and is used to connect the two; the stirring chamber assembly 3 includes a shell 302 fixed on the upper part of the bracket 1, and a feed chamber 301 rotatably connected to the top center of the shell 302, and the feed chamber 301 is composed of a conical cavity and a transmission cavity distributed inside and outside the shell 302; the conical cavity is a hollow structure, and a transmission rod 303 is fixed at its bottom; it also includes a column 304 annularly fixed on the upper wall of the transmission rod 303, and a heating coil 305 fixed at the outer end of each column 304, two second springs 306 and a steel ball 307 are arranged inside the column, and the steel ball 307 is arranged at the opposite ends of the two second springs 306, and the opposite ends of the two second springs 306 are connected to the opposite surfaces of the heating coil 305.

[0024] Combination Figure 3 , 4 As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the feed cavity 301 is rotatably mounted with the shell 302. The column 304, the heating coil 305, and the second spring 306 and the steel ball 307 arranged on the upper part of the transmission rod 303 fixed at the bottom thereof realize the stirring effect when the feed cavity 301 rotates. At the same time, the steel ball 307 further improves the melting and mixing effect of the wire material by vibration under the action of the second spring 306 on both sides thereof. Here, the heating coil 305 is used for pre-melting the wire material, and the feed cavity 301, as shown in Figures 7 and 8, Figure 6 , 7 8. The feed cavity 301 is composed of a conical cavity and a transmission cavity distributed inside and outside the shell 302; the conical cavity is a hollow structure. When feeding, the material enters from the top of the feed cavity 301 and converges to the conical cavity at the lower part of the feed cavity 301 and enters the shell 302 through the hollow part where the conical cavity is located. Furthermore, a cross 308 and a scraper 309 annularly fixed to the outer end of the cross 308 are fixed to the lower wall of the transmission rod 303 , and a plurality of scrapers 309 are in contact with the inner wall of the shell 302 .

[0025] Combination Figure 4 , 7As shown, the cross 308 is fixed at the lower part of the transmission rod 303, and the scraper 309 arranged on its periphery is in contact with the inner wall of the shell 302. Therefore, when the transmission rod 303 rotates, the cross 308 stirs the wire below the shell 302, and the scraper 309 further scrapes the inside of the shell 302, so as to improve the stirring effect and ensure the cleanliness of the inner wall of the shell 302.

[0026] Furthermore, a belt transmission assembly 7 is also provided at the top of the bracket 1. The belt transmission assembly 7 includes a motor 701 provided at the top of the bracket 1, a transmission wheel 702 fixed to the output end of the motor 701, and a transmission ring 703 fixed to the outer periphery of the feed cavity 301. A transmission belt 704 is sleeved between the transmission ring 703 and the transmission wheel 702. Figure 1 , 3 shown.

[0027] Furthermore, a rotary sealing plug 8 is provided at the connection between the feed cavity 301 and the shell 302. Figure 1 , to ensure the sealing of the connection between the feed cavity 301 and the shell 302.

[0028] Furthermore, the spiral conveying chamber assembly 4 includes a sleeve 401 fixed between the shell 302 and the upper cover shell 203 and used to connect the two, and a spiral conveying roller 402 fixed between the transmission rod 303 and the ball 201.

[0029] Here, the sleeve 401 and the spiral conveying roller 402 are respectively fixed between the shell 302 and the upper cover shell 203, and between the transmission rod 303 and the sphere 201, playing the role of feeding and supporting. Since the spiral conveying roller 402 is fixed between the transmission rod 303 and the sphere 201, the belt drive assembly 7 can drive the stirring chamber assembly 3, the spiral conveying chamber assembly 4, and the spherical heating chamber assembly 2 to operate synchronously, thereby driving the overall operation of the device in a low energy consumption manner and improving the energy-saving effect of the device.

[0030] Furthermore, a heating strip 403 is annularly embedded in the inner wall of the sleeve 401, which further realizes the heating effect of the spiral conveying chamber component 4 and realizes the heat consolidation process after the wire is preheated, while the spherical heating chamber component 2 below realizes thorough and uniform heating of the wire; The present application realizes a multi-stage heating process of the wire by sequentially arranging the stirring chamber assembly 3, the spiral conveying chamber assembly 4, and the spherical heating chamber assembly 2, thereby ensuring the heating efficiency and quality of the wire.
