Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of 3D printing, and relates to a wood-plastic composite material 3D printing device, in particular to a nozzle-buried 3D printing device for thermosetting wood-plastic composite materials. BACKGROUND

[0002] The existing wood-plastic composite material 3D printing device mainly includes three types: a fused deposition device, a selective laser sintering device and a binder jetting device. When the fused deposition device works, processes such as heating the nozzle to melt the material and keeping the printing bed temperature to promote the adhesion of the material are included, which reduces the printing speed. And the model slicing data of this kind of device contains a lot of filling information and support structure data, which seriously reduces the printing efficiency. The selective laser sintering device uses a powder laying device to lay powder material on the workbench, and then uses the heat of the laser beam to sinter and melt the powder in the target area, layer by layer bonding and stacking, without support structure, which improves the printing efficiency to a certain extent. However, the high manufacturing and maintenance costs of the device are caused by the high precision of the parts, and the wood-plastic composite material has high requirements for the temperature and laser power control of the device. The binder jetting device does not require a laser system, reducing the manufacturing and maintenance costs of the device. However, in the process of high-speed and large-flux printing, the impact of droplets on the powder bed causes the powder to splash, which easily leaves gaps inside the powder bed, further increasing the porosity of the printed parts, and the irregular flow of liquid in the powder bed gaps makes it difficult to achieve high-precision and complex structure printing.

[0003] Therefore, in order to solve the problems of low printing efficiency, low printing precision and high manufacturing and maintenance costs of the existing printing device, a nozzle-buried 3D printing device suitable for wood-plastic composite powder (granules) is designed based on the principle of in-situ impregnation, which reduces the phenomenon of powder splashing, reduces the number of high-cost components, realizes the rapid printing forming of thermosetting wood-plastic composite materials with large flux, and has the ability to realize the whole process from material stacking to forming, promoting the sustainable development and industrial application of wood-plastic composite material 3D printing technology. SUMMARY

[0004] In order to overcome the problems of the existing wood-plastic composite material 3D printing device, such as low printing efficiency, low printing precision, high manufacturing and maintenance costs of the device, etc. The present application designs a nozzle-buried 3D printing device, in which the nozzle is buried in the powder bed mechanism filled with wood-plastic composite material, moves according to the designed path and injects the binder, and the binder penetrates into the pores inside the printed part to make the wood-plastic composite material adhere, realizing the preliminary solidification and forming of the material at room temperature, and completing the 3D printing of the wood-plastic composite material.
