DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0019] like Figure 1As shown, the present invention is a 3D printing powder spreading device capable of automatically adjusting the powder scraping area, comprising a powder spreading mechanism, a powder spreading guide mechanism 7, a working area 12 and a feeding area 13, wherein the working area 12 and the feeding area 13 are arranged adjacent to each other, and the powder spreading mechanism moves above the working area 12 and the feeding area 13 through the powder spreading guide mechanism 7. The feeding area 13 is provided with a feeding bin 6 and a collecting bin 9, wherein the feeding bin 6 is used to store raw materials in the 3D printing process to ensure the stable supply of the required raw materials; a powder scraping mechanism 8 is provided above the feeding area 13 to collect unused or excess raw materials into the collecting bin 9 to improve the utilization rate of the raw materials and make the overall printing process more economical; a waste bin 10 and a forming substrate 11 are provided in the working area 12, wherein the forming substrate 11 is arranged on a side close to the feeding area 13, and the waste bin 10 is arranged on a side away from the feeding area 13.

A support plate reinforcing rib 103 is provided between the vertical mounting plate 101 and the horizontal support plate 102. The design of the support plate reinforcing rib 103 can ensure the rigidity of the L-shaped support component 1 and prevent the L-shaped support component 1 from being deformed after long-term use, resulting in problems such as uneven material laying, thereby affecting the printing accuracy.

[0022] The adjusting guide rail mechanism 3 is fixed on the horizontal support plate 102. Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, the adjusting rail mechanism 3 includes an adjusting rail stopper 301, an adjusting rail stopper fixing bolt 302, a slider fixing bolt 303, an adjusting rail 305, an adjusting slider 304 and an adjusting rail fixing screw 306.

The rectangular spur rack 401 is fixed to the movable end cover 411 of the lifting device 4 by the rectangular spur rack fixing bolt 410; the spur gear 402 is set at the fixed shaft 404 and meshes with the rectangular spur rack 401, the hexagonal bolt 403 is set below the spur gear 402, and the bottom thread of the hexagonal bolt 403 meshes with the spur gear 402 to ensure that when the hexagonal bolt 403 is rotated, the spur gear 402 will be driven to rotate, and the spur gear 402 will mesh with the rectangular spur rack 401, and the spur gear 402 will drive the rectangular spur rack 401 to complete the process of rising or falling. The bottom fixing bolt 405 of the lifting device connects the bottom of the lifting device with the slider assembly 304, the support plate 406 is fixedly connected with the sleeve device 409, and a sleeve reinforcement rib 408 is also set between the two to ensure the rigidity of the component. The two ends of the support plate 406 are fixed to the two sides of the shell of the lifting device 4 by support plate fixing screws 407. The sleeve device 409 is set to limit the rectangular spur rack 401 so that the rectangular spur rack 401 can achieve up and down movement according to different directions of thread rotation.

[0024] The scraper device support plate 5 is fixed to the top of the lifting device 4 by a support plate bolt 501. The two sides of the scraper device support plate 5 extend in the same direction to form an extension 503. Two telescopic support rods 502 are arranged between the extension 503 and the horizontal support plate 102 to enhance the stability and bearing capacity of the overall structure of the device and avoid deformation caused by long-term use, which affects the accuracy. The scraper device 2 is connected below the extension 503, and the scraper device 2 is located above the feed bin 6.

[0025] like Figure 6 As shown, the scraper device 2 includes a spur gear 201, a planetary shaft 202, a scraper blade 203, a center wheel 204, a planetary wheel 205, a connecting rod fixing bolt 206, a rotating knob 207, a connecting rod 209, an intermediate shaft 210 and a fixed plate 212. The four planetary wheels 205 in the planetary gear set are respectively meshed with the center wheel 204 and the spur gear 201, the center wheels 204 on both sides are connected through the intermediate shaft 210, and the four planetary wheels 205 on both sides are connected through the planetary shaft 202, so that the planetary gear sets on both sides keep rotating synchronously. Scraper blades 203 of different lengths are respectively arranged on the four planetary shafts 202, and the scraper blades 203 are fixed to the fixed plate 212 through scraper bolts 208, and the fixed plate 212 is connected to the planetary shaft 202. The end of the planetary shaft 202 passing through the planetary gear 205 is connected to the rotating knob 207 via a connecting rod 209, and the planetary shaft 202 and the connecting rod 209 are fixed via a connecting rod fixing bolt 206. The length of the scraper blade 203 to be used needs to be determined according to the size of the printed object. The scraper blades 203 to be used can be detachable, and a suitable scraper blade can be selected or replaced according to the use requirements. The rotating knob 207 makes the required scraper blade 203 reach the lowest end to complete the printing work; in addition, scraper blades of different sizes and dimensions can be selected for operation according to different requirements.

[0026] In addition, a first sensor 211 is installed on the scraper blade 203. Using the molten pool monitoring technology to monitor the 3D printing process, abnormal changes in the molten pool can be monitored in real time, which may cause printing defects such as pores, inclusions or cracks; monitoring the temperature distribution of the molten pool helps to ensure that the material is evenly heated during the printing process to avoid quality problems caused by local overheating or uneven cooling; using real-time monitoring data, the impact of different process parameters on the molten pool state can be analyzed, and then the printing speed, laser power, layer thickness and other parameters can be optimized to achieve the best manufacturing effect. By timely monitoring and adjusting the printing process parameters, the scrap rate caused by defects can be reduced, thereby improving material utilization and overall production efficiency. Compared with traditional post-detection methods, the molten pool monitoring technology provides a faster feedback mechanism, so that problems can be dealt with as soon as they occur.

[0027] like Figure 8As shown, the feed bin 6 includes a servo motor 601, a connecting rod 602, a baffle 603, an electromagnet 604, a powder supply substrate 605, a substrate connecting rod 606, a servo motor 607, an electromagnetic valve 608 and a second sensor 609.

The second sensor 609 arranged at the opening of the feed bin 6 is used to sense whether the scraper blade 203 passes through, so as to better cooperate with the opening and closing of the feed bin 6. The powder supply substrate 605, substrate connecting rod 606 and servo motor 607 are arranged at the bottom of the supply bin 6. The servo motor 607 controls the extension and retraction of the substrate connecting rod 606 to realize the vertical rise and fall of the powder supply substrate 605 in the bin body of the supply bin 6.

[0028] like Figure 2 and Fig. 9 As shown, the vertical mounting plate 101 is connected to the powder spreading mechanism bearing slider 704 on the powder spreading guide rail mechanism 7 through the powder spreading mechanism fixing bolt 104 to realize a sturdy fixed structure. The powder spreading mechanism bearing slider 704 can slide on the powder spreading guide rail 701, and the powder spreading guide rail 701 is perpendicular to the adjustment guide rail 305 in the horizontal direction. Powder spreading guide rail limiters 703 are set at both ends of the powder spreading guide rail 701 to limit the sliding stroke of the powder spreading mechanism bearing slider 704. The powder spreading guide rail limiter 703 is fixed by the powder spreading guide rail limiter fixing bolt 702.

[0029] like Fig.10 As shown, a powder scraping mechanism 8 is provided above the feeding bin 6 and the collecting bin 9, and the powder scraping mechanism 8 includes a powder scraping guide rail 801, a simple scraper 802, an L-shaped angle iron 803, a simple scraper bolt 804, a powder scraping guide rail stopper 805 and a simple scraper bearing slider 806.

The simple scraper bearing slider 806 can slide on the powder scraping guide rail 801, and the powder scraping guide rail 801 is parallel to the adjustment guide rail 305. Powder scraping guide rail stoppers 805 are provided at both ends of the powder scraping guide rail 801 to limit the stroke of the simple scraper bearing slider 806. The powder scraping mechanism 8 can effectively collect unused printing powder into a dedicated collecting bin 9, thereby improving the utilization rate of printing powder and reducing material waste.

[0030] The working process of this device is as follows: Before the scraper device 2 operates, the upper surface of the forming substrate 11 is first adjusted to be flush with the opening of the waste bin 10, and then a suitable scraper blade 203 is selected according to the size of the printed object. According to the different layer thicknesses of the print, the lifting device 4 is adjusted to make the scraper blade 203 in a suitable position; the powder spreading mechanism reciprocates on the powder spreading guide mechanism 7, and when the scraper device 2 is above the second sensor 609 at the opening of the feed bin 6, the baffle 603 of the feed bin 6 is opened, and the powder supply substrate 605 moves upward a fixed distance. After the scraper device 2 passes through the feed bin 6, the simple scraper 802 moves on the powder scraping guide 801 to collect the unused printing powder into the collection bin 9, and returns to the initial position after completing a powder scraping operation; when the scraper device 2 completes a powder scraping operation and returns to the initial position and passes the second sensor 609 again, the baffle 603 of the feed bin 6 is closed, and the above operation is repeated until the print is completed, and the waste powder is cleaned into the waste bin 10 to complete the printing work.
