Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of 3D printing consumables drying, and in particular to a control method and system for a 3D printing consumables drying machine. Background Art

[0002] Currently, there are two common drying modes for 3D printing consumables dryers on the market. One is the heating mode, which heats the 3D printing consumables at a set temperature and a set time. The other is the heating combined with humidity control mode, which heats the 3D printing consumables at a set temperature and a set time. After heating, it is determined whether the real-time humidity detected by the dryer's hygrometer is greater than the set humidity. If so, heating is automatically turned on. When the actual humidity drops to the set humidity value, heating is stopped.

[0003] Of these two modes, the heating mode is the simplest and most energy-saving, but it is not conducive to storing 3D printing consumables in the dryer cavity, because the 3D printing consumables in the dryer cavity are not in a completely sealed environment, and there will always be water molecules entering from the outside air, causing the 3D printing consumables to absorb water again. Heating combined with humidity control mode, first enter the heating mode, and the dryer will stop heating when the heating mode ends. Since the dryer cavity is not airtight, moisture from the outside air will enter the dryer cavity. Then, when the dryer's hygrometer detects that the actual humidity inside the dryer cavity is higher than the set humidity, the heating program will automatically start. After heating for a period of time, the humidity will automatically drop. When the actual humidity value drops to the set humidity, the heating program will be turned off. In this way, the cycle of heating first, and then controlling whether to continue or stop heating through humidity detection, the 3D printing consumables in the dryer cavity will always be in an environment below the set humidity, which is conducive to storing the 3D printing consumables in the dryer cavity after the heating mode ends. Although it is beneficial to store the 3D printing consumables in the dryer cavity after the heating mode ends, the power consumption is relatively large due to the repeated turning on and off of the heating. In addition, the long-term repeated turning on and off of the heating gives the 3D printing consumables in the dryer cavity an unstable storage temperature environment, which will shorten the service life of the 3D printing consumables and reduce the stability of the material molecules inside the 3D printing consumables. Especially for consumables that are not easy to 3D print, such as ABS, PA and PC, it is easy to cause warping during the printing process, thereby causing printing failure. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the above defects, the present invention proposes a control method and system for a 3D printing consumables dryer, aiming to solve the problem that the consumables drying modes of the existing 3D printing consumables dryer are divided into a heating mode and a heating combined with humidity control mode. The heating mode is not conducive to storing the 3D printing consumables in the dryer cavity. The heating combined with humidity control mode has the problem of repeatedly turning on and off the heating, which not only consumes a lot of electricity, but also provides the 3D printing consumables in the dryer cavity with an unstable storage temperature environment, thereby shortening the service life of the 3D printing consumables.

[0052] A control method for a 3D printing consumables drying machine comprises the following steps:

[0053] Step S1: setting a consumable drying mode of the 3D printing consumable drying machine, wherein the consumable drying mode includes a first stage heating mode, a second stage heating mode, and a heating combined with humidity control mode;

[0054] The first stage heating mode refers to heating the 3D printing consumables;

[0055] The second stage heating mode refers to constant temperature heating of the 3D printing consumables;

[0056] The heating combined with humidity control mode refers to performing a primary heating treatment on the 3D printing consumables, and detecting the actual humidity in the dryer cavity after the primary heating is completed, and determining whether it is greater than the set humidity. If so, the 3D printing consumables are subjected to secondary heating until the actual humidity is equal to the set humidity. If not, the 3D printing consumables are not heated;

[0059] Step S4: determining whether the heating and humidity control mode of the 3D printing consumables dryer is turned on; if so, entering the heating and humidity control mode; if not, shutting down the 3D printing consumables dryer.

[0060] A consumable drying control method of a 3D printing consumable drying machine in this solution, such as Figure 1As shown, the first step is to set the consumable drying mode of the 3D printing consumable dryer, wherein the consumable drying mode includes a first-stage heating mode, a second-stage heating mode, and a heating combined with humidity control mode; the first-stage heating mode refers to heating the 3D printing consumables; the second-stage heating mode refers to constant temperature heating of the 3D printing consumables; the heating combined with humidity control mode refers to the initial heating of the 3D printing consumables, and after the initial heating is completed, the actual humidity in the dryer cavity is detected, and it is determined whether it is greater than the set humidity. If so, the 3D printing consumables are heated for a second time until the actual humidity is equal to the set humidity. If not, the 3D printing consumables are not heated. In this embodiment, the set humidity is set to 20%. By setting the first-stage heating mode, the second-stage heating mode, and the heating combined with humidity control mode, it is convenient to select different consumable drying modes according to different situations in the future. The second step is to start the first stage heating mode of the 3D printing consumables dryer, and execute step S3 after the first stage heating mode ends. In this embodiment, when the 3D printing consumables dryer is powered on, the first stage heating mode of the 3D printing consumables dryer will be automatically turned on, so that the drying process of the 3D printing consumables can be started quickly, reducing waiting time and improving work efficiency. The third step is to determine whether the 3D printing consumables need to be stored for a long time. If so, the second stage heating mode of the 3D printing consumables dryer is turned on, and step S4 is executed after the second stage heating mode ends; if not, the 3D printing consumables dryer is shut down. In this embodiment, after the first stage heating mode ends, in order to store the 3D printing consumables in the dryer cavity for a long time after the first stage heating mode ends, the second stage heating mode is introduced so that the 3D printing consumables in the dryer cavity are always in a constant temperature dry environment. The fourth step is to determine whether to start the heating and humidity control mode of the 3D printing consumables dryer. If so, enter the heating and humidity control mode. If not, shut down the 3D printing consumables dryer. In this embodiment, after the second stage heating mode ends, for printing tasks with special requirements on humidity, the heating and humidity control mode can continue to be started to accurately adjust the humidity state of the 3D printing consumables to ensure that the 3D printing consumables are in the best humidity state before printing, thereby reducing printing failures caused by improper humidity and improving the printing success rate.

[0061] In this solution, a second-stage heating mode is set. In the second-stage heating mode, the 3D printing consumables in the dryer cavity can be kept in a dry environment with a constant temperature after the first-stage heating mode ends. Compared with the traditional heating mode, it is conducive to long-term storage of the 3D printing consumables in the dryer cavity. Compared with the traditional heating combined with humidity control mode, a stable storage temperature environment can be provided for the 3D printing consumables in the dryer cavity after the first-stage heating mode ends. Not only does it not need to repeatedly turn on and off the heating for a long time, saving energy consumption, but it can also effectively protect the 3D printing consumables, thereby increasing the service life of the 3D printing consumables.

By setting the second set heating temperature and the second set heating time, the heating conditions of the 3D printing consumables in the second stage heating mode can be precisely controlled, providing a stable storage temperature environment for the 3D printing consumables, which helps to prevent the 3D printing consumables from getting damp or deteriorating during storage and maintain their optimal use state. By setting the set heating temperature and the set heating time for the initial heating and the secondary heating, the temperature conditions of the 3D printing consumables in the heating combined with humidity control mode can be precisely controlled, which helps to ensure that the 3D printing consumables reach the required degree of dryness while avoiding performance degradation caused by excessive heating.
