Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of preprocessing technology, and specifically to a rock slab 3D printing preprocessing device and a preprocessing method. Background Art
[0002] In the fields of construction and decoration, rock slabs are widely used due to their high strength and weather resistance. In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for directly constructing complex textures or functional structures on the surface of rock slabs through 3D printing. Before printing, the rock slabs need to be pre-treated. However, the following problems exist in the pre-treatment of rock slabs:
[0003] (1) Insufficient surface cleaning: Dust or oil easily remains on the surface of the slab, resulting in poor adhesion of the printed layer;
[0004] (2) Roughness is uncontrollable: Traditional grinding processes rely on manual operation, have poor uniformity, and are difficult to adapt to different printing materials (such as metal / polymer-based slurries);
[0005] (3) Low pretreatment efficiency: Multiple processes need to be completed step by step, with a low degree of automation, which makes it difficult to meet mass production needs. Summary of the invention

A second cavity is arranged in the third lifting plate. A paint inlet pipe is connected to the second cavity. The paint inlet pipe is connected to the metering pump through a second hose. The metering pump, the ultrasonic atomizer and the liquid storage tank are connected in sequence through pipelines.
[0009] Preferably, the positioning mechanism includes a positioning frame, with rotating shafts connected on both sides of the positioning frame, and the two rotating shafts are rotatably connected to both sides of the roller conveyor. A plurality of fifth cylinders are installed on the outer walls at both ends of the positioning frame, and the telescopic end of the fifth cylinder is connected to a U-shaped plate, the U-shaped plate is located in the positioning frame, and sixth cylinders are installed on the upper and lower ends of the U-shaped plate, and the telescopic ends of the two sixth cylinders are connected to pressure plates.
[0010] The above technical solution places the rock slab in the positioning frame through a multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator, and then controls the fifth cylinder to extend to drive the U-shaped plate to move toward the rock slab, so that the upper and lower pressure plates are located on the upper and lower sides of the rock slab, and then controls the sixth cylinder to extend to drive the pressure plate to move, and the edges of the rock slab are pressed tightly by the upper and lower pressure plates, thereby keeping the rock slab stable.

[0012] In the above technical solution, when processing the rock plate, the seventh cylinder is in an extended state so that the positioning plate can be pressed tightly against the positioning frame, thereby keeping the positioning frame stable. When one side of the rock plate is processed, the seventh cylinder is controlled to retract so that the positioning plate leaves the positioning frame, and then the first motor is started to drive the positioning frame to rotate through the cooperation of the driving wheel, the transmission belt and the driven wheel, thereby turning the rock plate over to process the other side of the rock plate.

[0016] The above technical solution can drive the grinding mechanism to move forward and backward and left and right through the horizontal displacement mechanism and the front and back displacement mechanism, thereby achieving comprehensive grinding of the rock plate.

[0021] The present invention also provides a pretreatment method for 3D printing of rock slabs, comprising the following steps:
[0022] (1) Place the rock slab on a roller conveyor, and transport it to the first processing room through the roller conveyor. Place the rock slab on a positioning mechanism in the processing room through a multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator, fix the rock slab through the positioning mechanism, and grind one side of the rock slab through the grinding unit. Flip the positioning mechanism through the flipping mechanism, and then grind the other side of the rock slab through the grinding unit. After grinding, remove the rock slab from the positioning mechanism through the multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator, place it on the roller conveyor, and continue to transport it to the second processing room through the roller conveyor;
[0023] (2) When the rock slab arrives in the second processing room, the multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator places the rock slab on the positioning mechanism in the processing room, and then the plasma generator works to generate low-temperature plasma containing electrons, ions and active free radicals. The plasma is then sent to the plasma spray gun array through an air compressor, and the surface of the rock slab is bombarded with high-energy plasma. After both sides of the rock slab are bombarded by the plasma, the multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator removes the rock slab from the positioning mechanism and places it on a roller conveyor, which is then transported to the third processing room.
[0024] (3) When the rock slab arrives in the third processing room, the multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator places the rock slab on the positioning mechanism in the processing room. The laser controller starts to work and emits laser to the rock slab through the laser emission unit. The laser pulse causes the surface of the rock slab to partially melt or vaporize, forming periodic pits. The surface morphology is collected through the scanning system and fed back to the laser controller to dynamically adjust the power and frequency. After the laser micro-structuring is completed on both sides of the rock slab, the multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator removes the rock slab from the positioning mechanism and places it on the roller conveyor, which then continues to transport it to the fourth processing room.
[0025] (4) When the slab of rock arrives in the fourth processing room, it is placed on a positioning mechanism in the processing room by a multi-degree-of-freedom robot. The silane coupling agent solution in the liquid storage tank is atomized by an ultrasonic atomizer to form micron-sized droplets, which are sprayed onto the slab of rock through a nozzle and spread to form a film on the surface of the slab of rock. After the solvent evaporates, the silane is hydrolyzed to form Si-OH, which condenses with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of the slab of rock to form covalent bonds Si-O-Si. After both sides of the slab of rock are sprayed, the slab of rock is removed from the positioning mechanism by a multi-degree-of-freedom robot and placed on a roller conveyor, and is continuously output through the roller conveyor, thereby completing the pre-processing before 3D printing.
[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0027] (1) Process integration: The modular design enables full automation of the “grinding-cleaning-roughening-coating” process, shortening the processing time to 30% of the traditional process.
[0028] (2) High-energy plasma bombards the surface of the rock slab to directly remove attached physical pollutants such as dust and oil. Plasma cleaning replaces chemical cleaning agents, reducing wastewater discharge by 90%.
[0029] (3) Short-pulse lasers are used to ablate periodic micro-pits on the surface to form controllable roughness. The micro-texture increases the actual contact area by 3-5 times and enhances the mechanical interlocking effect.
[0030] (4) By spraying the silane coupling agent, the Si-OH generated by hydrolysis condenses with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of the rock plate to form a covalent bond, which significantly improves the interfacial bonding strength. The nano coating acts as a flexible transition layer to alleviate the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the 3D printing material and the rock plate.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0041] Example 1
[0042] See also Figure 1-Figure 8A 3D printing pretreatment device for rock slabs comprises a roller conveyor 1, four processing rooms 2 arranged in sequence along the roller conveyor 1, and a grinding section 3, a plasma cleaning section 4, a laser microtexturing section 5 and a coating deposition section 6 are arranged in sequence in the four processing rooms 2. An installation port is provided on the roller conveyor 1 inside each processing room 2, and a positioning mechanism 7 for fixing the rock slab is provided in each installation port. A flipping mechanism 8 for driving the positioning mechanism to flip is installed on the roller conveyor 1. A multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator 9 is also provided on one side of the roller conveyor in each processing room 2, and a gripping plate 901 is connected to the output end of the multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator 9, a vacuum generator 902 is installed on the top of the gripping plate 901, and a plurality of vacuum suction cups 903 are connected to the bottom of the gripping plate 901, and the vacuum suction cups 903 are connected to the vacuum generator 902 through a pipeline. The multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator 9 has multi-directional and multi-height operability. The multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator 9 drives the grabbing plate 901 to move, the vacuum generator 902 generates vacuum negative pressure, and adsorbs the rock plate through the vacuum suction cup 903, thereby grabbing the rock plate and placing the grabbed rock plate on the positioning mechanism 7.
[0043] Specifically, the positioning mechanism 7 includes a positioning frame 701, and the two sides of the positioning frame 701 are connected with rotating shafts 702. The two rotating shafts 702 are rotatably connected to the two sides of the roller conveyor 1. A plurality of fifth cylinders 703 are installed on the outer walls at both ends of the positioning frame 701. The telescopic end of the fifth cylinder 703 is connected with a U-shaped plate 704. The U-shaped plate 704 is located in the positioning frame 701. The upper and lower ends of the U-shaped plate 704 are installed with sixth cylinders 705, and the telescopic ends of the two sixth cylinders 705 are connected with pressure plates 706. The flipping mechanism 8 includes a first motor 801 installed on one side of the roller conveyor, a first transmission shaft connected to the first motor through a coupling, a driving wheel 802 connected to the first transmission shaft, and a driven wheel 803 connected to one of the rotating shafts. The driving wheel 802 and the driven wheel 803 are connected through a transmission belt. The flipping mechanism 8 also includes a seventh cylinder 804 installed on both sides of the roller conveyor and a positioning plate 805 connected to the telescopic end of the seventh cylinder. The seventh cylinder 804 extends to drive the positioning plate 805 to move toward the positioning frame 701 to clamp the positioning frame 701.
[0044] The rock slab is transported by roller conveyor 1, and position sensors are provided at both ends of each positioning frame 701 for sensing the distance between the rock slab and the positioning frame 701. When the rock slab is close to the positioning frame 701, the position sensor transmits a signal to the overall control system and controls the roller conveyor 1 to stop working. At this time, the rock slab is grabbed by the multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator 9 and placed in the positioning frame 701. In order to align the rock slab with the U-shaped plate 704, a photoelectric sensor can be set in the U-shaped plate 704.

When processing the rock slab, the seventh cylinder 804 is in an extended state, and the positioning plate 805 is pressed tightly against the positioning frame 701, so that the positioning frame 701 can remain stable. When one side of the rock slab is processed, the seventh cylinder 804 is controlled to retract, so that the positioning plate 805 leaves the positioning frame 701, and then the first motor 801 is started, and the positioning frame is driven to rotate 360 degrees through the cooperation of the driving wheel 802, the transmission belt and the driven wheel 803, so as to flip the rock slab to process the other side of the rock slab.
[0045] The grinding part 3 comprises a horizontal displacement mechanism 301 installed in the first processing room, a first slide 302 connected to the horizontal displacement mechanism, a first cylinder 303 installed on the first slide, a first lifting plate 304 connected to the telescopic end of the first cylinder, a front-rear displacement mechanism 305 installed on the first lifting plate, a second slide 306 connected to the front-rear displacement mechanism, and a grinding mechanism installed on the bottom surface of the second slide. The horizontal displacement mechanism and the front-rear displacement mechanism can both adopt a screw transmission mechanism. The grinding mechanism includes a cover 307 installed on the bottom surface of the second slide, a second motor installed in the cover, a second transmission shaft connected to the second motor through a coupling, and a grinding wheel 308 connected to the second transmission shaft. The bottom of the cover 307 is open, and the bottom surface of the grinding wheel 308 extends from the opening to the bottom of the cover 307. The grinding mechanism also includes a dust suction pipe 309 installed on the first lifting plate, a suction nozzle 310 connected to the lower end of the dust suction pipe, a third hose 311 connected to the upper end of the dust suction pipe, and a dust outlet pipe 312 connected to the first processing room, and the third hose 311 is connected to the dust outlet pipe 312.

[0046] The plasma cleaning unit 4 includes a plasma generator 401 and an air compressor 402 installed in the second processing room, a second cylinder 403 installed on the processing room, a second lifting plate 404 connected to the telescopic end of the second cylinder, and a plasma spray gun array 405 connected to the bottom surface of the second lifting plate.

The plasma generator 401 adopts a high-frequency AC power supply (frequency 40kHz, power adjustable range 1-5kW), matching impedance transformer, to ensure stable discharge. The electrode material is a corrosion-resistant tungsten copper alloy, the spacing is 3-5mm, and the surface is covered with a ceramic dielectric layer (thickness 0.5mm) to form a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) structure. The spray guns are arranged linearly, each group is 300mm long, covering the width of the rock plate. The spray gun outlet is designed as a slit type (width 1mm) to form a wide plasma flow. The high-voltage electric field ionizes the gas molecules to produce electrons, ions and active free radicals (such as O·, OH·, N2 + ) uses low-temperature plasma (temperature <60°C) to directly remove attached physical pollutants such as dust and oil, and achieve chemical decomposition. For example, active free radicals (such as O·, OH·) react with organic pollutants (grease, resin) to undergo oxidation reactions and convert into volatile substances such as CO2 and H2O. Plasma treatment generates polar groups such as hydroxyl (-OH) and carboxyl (-COOH) on the surface of the rock plate, significantly increasing the surface energy. The contact angle is reduced from hydrophobic (>90°) to super hydrophilic (<20°), providing good wetting conditions for subsequent coatings or 3D printing materials.

A fiber laser (wavelength 1064nm, maximum power 500W, pulse frequency 10-100kHz, pulse width 10-100ns) is used to emit laser pulses through the laser emitting unit 503. The laser pulses (energy density 5-20J / cm 2 ) causes local melting / vaporization of the rock surface to form periodic pits (depth 10-50μm, spacing 50-200μm). A high-resolution CCD camera (5 million pixels) with coaxial illumination, sampling frequency 30fps, and built-in image processing algorithm (based on OpenCV) identifies surface defects and generates compensation paths.

The infrared spectrometer 608 is installed on the bottom surface of the third lifting plate 605 and is staggered with the nozzle 606; an exhaust pipe 609 is also installed on the fourth processing room 2. Ultrasonic atomizer 602 (frequency 1.7MHz, atomized particle size 1-5μm), nozzle 606 covers the entire surface of the rock plate, ultrasonic vibration breaks the liquid precursor into micron-sized droplets, spreads on the surface of the rock plate to form a film, and the Si-OH generated by the hydrolysis of the silane coupling agent (such as KH-550) condenses with the hydroxyl group on the surface of the rock plate to form a covalent bond (Si-O-Si), which significantly improves the interface bonding strength.

[0049] Example 2
[0050] A pretreatment method for 3D printing of rock slabs, comprising the following steps:
[0051] (1) Place the rock slab on a roller conveyor, and transport it to the first processing room through the roller conveyor. Place the rock slab on a positioning mechanism in the processing room through a multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator, fix the rock slab through the positioning mechanism, and grind one side of the rock slab through the grinding unit. Flip the positioning mechanism through the flipping mechanism, and then grind the other side of the rock slab through the grinding unit. After grinding, remove the rock slab from the positioning mechanism through the multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator, place it on the roller conveyor, and continue to transport it to the second processing room through the roller conveyor;
[0052] (2) When the rock slab arrives in the second processing room, the multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator places the rock slab on the positioning mechanism in the processing room, and then the plasma generator works to generate low-temperature plasma containing electrons, ions and active free radicals. The plasma is then sent to the plasma spray gun array through an air compressor, and the surface of the rock slab is bombarded with high-energy plasma. After both sides of the rock slab are bombarded by the plasma, the multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator removes the rock slab from the positioning mechanism and places it on a roller conveyor, which is then transported to the third processing room.
[0053] (3) When the rock slab arrives in the third processing room, the multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator places the rock slab on the positioning mechanism in the processing room. The laser controller starts to work and emits laser to the rock slab through the laser emission unit. The laser pulse causes the surface of the rock slab to partially melt or vaporize, forming periodic pits. The surface morphology is collected through the scanning system and fed back to the laser controller to dynamically adjust the power and frequency. After the laser micro-structuring is completed on both sides of the rock slab, the multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator removes the rock slab from the positioning mechanism and places it on the roller conveyor, which then continues to transport it to the fourth processing room.
[0054] (4) When the slab of rock arrives in the fourth processing room, it is placed on a positioning mechanism in the processing room by a multi-degree-of-freedom robot. The silane coupling agent solution in the liquid storage tank is atomized by an ultrasonic atomizer to form micron-sized droplets, which are sprayed onto the slab of rock through a nozzle and spread to form a film on the surface of the slab of rock. After the solvent evaporates, the silane is hydrolyzed to form Si-OH, which condenses with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of the slab of rock to form covalent bonds Si-O-Si. After both sides of the slab of rock are sprayed, the slab of rock is removed from the positioning mechanism by a multi-degree-of-freedom robot and placed on a roller conveyor, and is continuously output through the roller conveyor, thereby completing the pre-processing before 3D printing.

8. A pretreatment method for 3D printing pretreatment of rock slabs according to claim 7, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: (1) Place the rock slab on a roller conveyor, and transport it to the first processing room through the roller conveyor. Place the rock slab on a positioning mechanism in the processing room through a multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator, fix the rock slab through the positioning mechanism, and grind one side of the rock slab through the grinding unit. Flip the positioning mechanism through the flipping mechanism, and then grind the other side of the rock slab through the grinding unit. After grinding, remove the rock slab from the positioning mechanism through the multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator, place it on the roller conveyor, and continue to transport it to the second processing room through the roller conveyor; (2) When the rock slab arrives in the second processing room, the multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator places the rock slab on the positioning mechanism in the processing room, and then the plasma generator works to generate low-temperature plasma containing electrons, ions and active free radicals. The plasma is then sent to the plasma spray gun array through an air compressor, and the surface of the rock slab is bombarded with high-energy plasma. After both sides of the rock slab are bombarded by the plasma, the multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator removes the rock slab from the positioning mechanism and places it on a roller conveyor, which is then transported to the third processing room. (3) When the rock slab arrives in the third processing room, the multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator places the rock slab on the positioning mechanism in the processing room. The laser controller starts to work and emits laser to the rock slab through the laser emission unit. The laser pulse causes the surface of the rock slab to partially melt or vaporize, forming periodic pits. The surface morphology is collected through the scanning system and fed back to the laser controller to dynamically adjust the power and frequency. After the laser micro-structuring is completed on both sides of the rock slab, the multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator removes the rock slab from the positioning mechanism and places it on the roller conveyor, which then continues to transport it to the fourth processing room. (4) When the slab of rock arrives in the fourth processing room, it is placed on a positioning mechanism in the processing room by a multi-degree-of-freedom robot. The silane coupling agent solution in the liquid storage tank is atomized by an ultrasonic atomizer to form micron-sized droplets, which are sprayed onto the slab of rock through a nozzle and spread to form a film on the surface of the slab of rock. After the solvent evaporates, the silane is hydrolyzed to form Si-OH, which condenses with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of the slab of rock to form covalent bonds Si-O-Si. After both sides of the slab of rock are sprayed, the slab of rock is removed from the positioning mechanism by a multi-degree-of-freedom robot and placed on a roller conveyor, and is continuously output through the roller conveyor, thereby completing the pre-processing before 3D printing.
