Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of additive manufacturing technology, and particularly to an integrated control system for additive manufacturing. Background Art
[0002] Additive manufacturing technology is a technology that constructs objects by layer-by-layer stacking and accumulation using powdered materials or wire materials based on digital model files.
[0003] Wire materials are more commonly used in 3D printers. The working principle of existing 3D printers is to wind the raw materials on a material tray, directly draw the raw materials from the material tray and introduce them into the nozzle, then heat the raw materials in a molten state and stack them layer by layer according to the program to convert the digital model file into an object. When printing more complex products, different components are generally printed on multiple printers respectively, and after printing, they are assembled and joined together.
[0004] In view of the above related technologies, during the printing process of existing additive manufacturing, once the nozzle accumulates materials, printing needs to be stopped, and the nozzle and the unfinished defective products on the operation panel need to be manually cleaned before printing can continue. This results in a large gap in the progress of multiple printers, making it difficult to achieve multi-stage collaborative operation of multiple printers and affecting the overall printing progress of the product. Summary of the Invention

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the control component preprocesses the received data, generates a G-code instruction sequence, and sends it to the transmission component. The transmission component sends the received G-code instruction sequence to the execution component. The discharge nozzle in the execution component moves in the box to stack the sprayed materials on the first working board.

[0059] The implementation principle of an additive manufacturing integrated control system according to an embodiment of the present application is as follows: When the material discharge nozzle is blocked, the materials stacked on the first working plate 41 need to be removed. After removal, the first working plate 41 is reinstalled into the box body 1 again. The first working plate 41 and the second working plate 42 can move, so that the working panel with the product stack remains close to the opening of the box body 1. The first working plate 41 or the second working plate 42 close to the opening of the box body 1 is removed, the materials stacked on the first working plate 41 or the second working plate 42 are removed, and the first working plate 41 or the second working plate 42 after removal is reinstalled into the box. The material stacking is continuously carried out, which reduces the large progress gap between multiple printers caused by the accumulation of the material discharge nozzle, and at the same time facilitates the replacement of the working panel. The rotation drive 9133 is started, the rotation drive 9133 drives the second gear 9132 to rotate, the second gear 9132 drives the first gear 9131 to rotate, the first gear 9131 drives the adjusting rod 912 to rotate, and the adjusting rod 912 drives the adjusting column 911 to rise or fall in the placement cavity 73.
