A slot is provided on the rectangular frame 622, and a pressing rod 623 is slidably connected in the slot. A sliding block 624 is connected to the outside of the pressing rod 623 by bolts. The outside of the sliding block 624 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rectangular frame 622. A spring 625 is surrounded by the outside of the pressing rod 623.

[0019] Specifically, when it is necessary to open the closing cover 1 2 and the closing cover 2 3, the pressing piece 626 is pressed, and the pressing piece 626 drives the sliding block 624 on the pressing rod 623 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 1 625 and slide downward, so that the sliding block 624 pulls the connecting rod 3 621 so that the short rod 620 connected to the connecting rod 3 621 drives the slider 619 to slide on the slide rail 618, so that the transmission rod 617 can pull the connecting rod 2 615 to overcome the torsion of the coil spring 616 and rotate with the central axis 614 as the axis, and the rotating connecting rod 2 615 pulls the connecting rod 1 612 so that the short axis 611 connected to the connecting rod 1 612 can drive the disk 608 to rotate with the shaft 604 as the axis, and after the disk 608 rotates 90 degrees, the pressing piece 626 is released, and the coil spring 616 and the spring 604 are pressed. Driven by connecting rod 1 625, short shaft 611 continues to rotate upward with disc 608 and finally stops on stop member 609. During the rotation of disc 608, shaft rod 604 connected to disc 608 drives closing cover 1 2 and closing cover 2 3 connected to connecting member 603 to rotate 180 degrees, so that closing cover 1 2 and closing cover 2 3 are opened, so that the silo box body 1 can be filled with materials. After filling, pressing piece 626 is pressed again. According to the above steps, connecting rod 1 612 will drive short shaft 611 to rotate 180 degrees again, so that closing cover 1 2 and closing cover 2 3 are closed, and short shaft 611 is stuck in arc groove 610, so that upper sealing gasket 606 and lower sealing gasket 605 on closing cover 1 2 and closing cover 2 3 are pressed and fitted against each other.

[0020] In specific application scenarios, the closing and locking module 6 is mainly suitable for the closing and locking link in the closing and locking process, that is, the closing and locking module 6 uses the disc 608 and the short shaft 611 to make the device more convenient in the process of opening the closing cover 1 2 and the closing cover 2 3. When the disc 608 is rotated to ninety degrees, the device can automatically complete the opening and closing operations of the closing cover 1 2 and the closing cover 2 3 with the help of the coil spring 616 and the spring 1 625, making the operation more labor-saving.

[0021] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 In a preferred embodiment, the observation and feeding module 7 includes a circular ring 701, the outer part of the circular ring 701 is connected to the inner wall of the hole on the closed part 3 by bolts, the upper side of the circular ring 701 is connected to a circular frame 702 by bolts, the upper side of the circular frame 702 is provided with a circular notch 703, the bottom inner wall of the circular notch 703 is provided with a circular cutout 704, an observation cover 705 is slidably connected in the circular cutout 704, the side of the observation cover 705 away from the circular ring 701 is connected to the bottom inner wall of the circular notch 703 by a hinge, and the bottom inner wall of the circular cutout 704 is provided with a concave hole; a pushing block 706 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the concave hole, the upper side of the pushing block 706 is in contact with the bottom of the observation cover 705, the bottom of the pushing block 706 is connected to a spring 707 by bolts, and the spring 707 is away from the pushing block 7 One end of 06 is connected to the bottom inner wall of the concave hole by bolts, and the bottom inner wall of the circular groove opening 703 is provided with two symmetrical rectangular openings 708, and moving blocks 709 are slidably connected in the rectangular openings 708, and the side of the moving block 709 opposite to the inner wall of the rectangular opening 708 is connected with a spring three 710 by bolts; the upper side of the moving block 709 is rotatably connected with a follower sleeve 711 through a bearing, and the same thin rod 712 is slidably connected in the two follower sleeves 711, and the outside of the thin rod 712 is connected with a locking piece 713 by bolts, and the outside of the locking piece 713 is clamped with the outside of the observation cover 705, and the locking piece 713 is located between the two follower sleeves 711, and the bottom inner wall of the circular groove opening 703 is provided with a receiving groove 714, and the inner wall of the receiving groove 714 is slidably connected to the bottom of the locking piece 713.

[0022] Specifically, when the external environment of the printing device is relatively bad, the material inventory in the silo box body 1 is observed through the transparent acrylic observation cover 705. When the material inventory in the silo box body 1 is about to run out, the locking piece 713 is pulled outward, and the thin rod 712 on the locking piece 713 pushes the follower sleeve 711 and enables the follower sleeve 711 to drive the moving block 709 to overcome the elastic force of the spring three 710 and move away from the observation cover 705. As the moving block 709 moves obliquely in the rectangular opening 708, under the restraint of the follower sleeve 711, the follower sleeve 711 rotates on the moving block 709 at an angle, so that the locking piece on the follower sleeve 711 713 can continue to move on the accommodating groove 714. After the locking piece 713 is completely removed from the observation cover 705, under the elastic force of the spring two 707, the spring two 707 pushes the pushing block 706 to push the observation cover 705 away from the circular cutout 704, thereby opening the observation cover 705 and quickly injecting the material into the silo box body 1 through the hole opened by the observation cover 705. After the filling is completed, the observation cover 705 is rotated so that the observation cover 705 pushes the locking piece 713 away and presses down the pushing block 706. After the observation cover 705 is completely entered into the circular cutout 704, the locking piece 713 locks the observation cover 705 again under the push of the spring three 710.

[0023] In specific application scenarios, the observation and filling module 7 is mainly suitable for the observation and filling links in the observation and filling process, that is, the observation and filling module 7 uses the locking piece 713 and the observation cover 705 to enable the device to add materials in harsh environments without fully opening the silo box 1 to achieve the filling operation, which greatly reduces the risk of material contamination by hand-held environmental impurities. The observation cover 705 made of transparent material can also help the operator quickly determine the material inventory in the silo box 1.

[0024] Working principle: when it is necessary to open the closing cover 1 2 and the closing cover 2 3, the pressing piece 626 is pressed, and the pressing piece 626 drives the sliding block 624 on the pressing rod 623 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 1 625 and slide downward, so that the sliding block 624 pulls the connecting rod 3 621 so that the short rod 620 connected to the connecting rod 3 621 drives the slider 619 to slide on the slide rail 618, so that the transmission rod 617 can pull the connecting rod 2 615 to overcome the torsion of the coil spring 616 and rotate with the central axis 614 as the axis, and the rotating connecting rod 2 615 pulls the connecting rod 1 612 so that the short axis 611 connected to the connecting rod 1 612 can drive the disc 608 to rotate with the shaft 604 as the axis, and after the disc 608 rotates ninety degrees, the release The pressing piece 626 is opened. Under the push of the coil spring 616 and the spring 1 625, the short shaft 611 continues to rotate upward with the disc 608 and finally stops on the stopper 609. During the rotation of the disc 608, the shaft 604 connected to the disc 608 drives the closing cover 1 2 and the closing cover 2 3 connected to the connecting piece 603 to rotate 180 degrees, so that the closing cover 1 2 and the closing cover 2 3 are opened, so that the silo box body 1 can be filled with materials. After the filling is completed, the pressing piece 626 is pressed again. According to the above steps, the connecting rod 1 612 will drive the short shaft 611 to rotate 180 degrees again, so that the closing cover 1 2 and the closing cover 2 3 are closed and closed, and the short shaft 611 is stuck in the arc groove 610, so that the closing cover 1 2 and the closing cover 2 3 are closed and closed. The upper sealing gasket 606 and the lower sealing gasket 605 on the cover 1 2 and the closing 2 3 are pressed and fitted against each other. When the external environment of the printing device is relatively bad, the material inventory in the silo box body 1 is observed through the transparent acrylic observation cover 705. When the material inventory in the silo box body 1 is about to run out, the locking member 713 is pulled outward, and the thin rod 712 on the locking member 713 pushes the follower sleeve 711 and enables the follower sleeve 711 to drive the moving block 709 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 3 710 and move in the direction away from the observation cover 705. As the moving block 709 moves obliquely in the rectangular opening 708, under the restraint of the follower sleeve 711, the follower sleeve 711 rotates on the moving block 709 to a certain angle. , so that the locking piece 713 on the follower sleeve 711 can continue to move on the accommodating groove 714. After the locking piece 713 is completely removed from the observation cover 705, under the elastic force of the second spring 707, the second spring 707 pushes the pushing block 706 to push the observation cover 705 away from the circular cutout 704, thereby opening the observation cover 705 and quickly injecting the material into the silo box body 1 through the hole opened by the observation cover 705. After the filling is completed, the observation cover 705 is rotated so that the observation cover 705 pushes the locking piece 713 away and presses down the pushing block 706. After the observation cover 705 is completely entered into the circular cutout 704, the locking piece 713 locks the observation cover 705 again under the push of the third spring 710.
