[0038] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0039] Embodiment 1;

[0040] The embodiment of the present invention discloses a tie-dye pattern generating device based on three-dimensional printing technology. Figure 1-7As shown, it includes a 3D printer housing 1, a driving unit 2 is arranged in the 3D printer housing 1, a fixing column 11 is fixedly connected to the 3D printer housing 1, a material discharge box 3 is arranged on the fixing column 11, a cover plate 4 is arranged on the material discharge box 3, a first track block 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the material discharge box 3, an acceleration unit 8 is arranged between the first track block 31 and the fixing column 11, and the acceleration unit 8 is used to control the movement of the first track block 31;

[0041] The acceleration unit 8 comprises:

[0042] A servo motor 81 is disposed at one end of the fixed column 11;

[0043] The threaded rod 82 is rotatably connected to the fixing column 11 , one end of the threaded rod 82 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 81 , and the threaded rod 82 is threadedly connected to the first track block 31 .

[0044] A wire outlet hole 33 is provided on the front of the discharge box 3, a connecting piece 63 is provided at the bottom of the discharge box 3, an adjusting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the connecting piece 63, a plug 61 is fixedly connected to the front of the adjusting plate 6, a protruding block 62 is fixedly connected to the back of the adjusting plate 6, and a card slot 621 is provided in the protruding block 62.

[0045] A fixed block 5 is fixedly connected to the back of the discharge box 3, and a limiting component 7 is arranged inside the fixed block 5. The limiting component 7 is used to limit the protruding block 62;

[0046] The limiting component 7 comprises:

[0047] A spring 71, one end of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing block 5;

[0048] The slider 72 is slidably connected to the fixed block 5, and the other end of the spring 71 is fixedly connected to the slider 72;

[0049] The clamping block 73 is slidably connected in the fixed block 5 , and one end of the sliding block 72 away from the spring 71 is fixedly connected to the clamping block 73 .

[0050] A first handle 43 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 4 , a second track plate 41 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cover plate 4 , and a rotating rod 42 is rotatably connected to one side of the second track plate 41 .

[0051] An extension plate 32 is fixedly connected to the material discharging box 3 , a second track body 321 is provided between the extension plate 32 and the material discharging box 3 , and the second track plate 41 is slidably connected in the second track body 321 .

[0052] A second handle 721 is fixedly connected to the back of the slider 72. Adjusting the second handle 721 facilitates driving the slider 72 to compress the spring 71, driving the clamping block 73 to move upward, and facilitates releasing the clamping connection between the clamping block 73 and the clamping groove 621, thereby releasing the limit of the protruding block 62 by the limit assembly 7.

[0053] The cover plate 4 is provided with a rotary plug 44 , which is convenient for sealing the material discharge box 3 when installed, and convenient for introducing dye into the material discharge box 3 when the rotary plug 44 is removed.

[0054] A first track body 111 is disposed in the fixing column 11 , and the first track block 31 is slidably connected in the first track body 111 .

[0055] A series of preparations need to be done before the 3D printer starts working. The first step is to put the material tray into the material discharge box 3, pull the first handle 43 to drive the cover plate 4 fixedly connected thereto to move upward, and the cover plate 4 drives the second track plate 41 fixedly connected thereto to move upward, and put the material tray on the rotating rod 42 rotatably connected to the second track plate 41. After releasing the first handle 43, the cover plate 4 falls by its own gravity, thereby achieving the effect of sealing the material discharge box 3.

[0056] The second step is to introduce the dye in the configured proportion into the discharge box 3, rotate the rotary plug 44 on the cover plate 4 clockwise, unscrew the rotary plug 44, introduce the dye into the discharge box 3, and then rotate the rotary plug 44 counterclockwise and install it on the cover plate 4.

[0057] In the third step, the acceleration unit 8 drives the material discharge box 3 to shake left and right to achieve the purpose of accelerating dyeing. The servo motor 81 drives the threaded rod 82 to rotate. The threaded rod 82 is threadedly connected to the first track block 31, driving the first track block 31 to slide in the first track body 111. The first track block 31 is fixedly connected to the material discharge box 3, thereby achieving the purpose of driving the material discharge box 3 to shake left and right. The amount of dye added, the left and right movement amplitude of the material discharge box 3 and the dyeing time are different, which can achieve different degrees of dyeing of the printing material, so that the color of the printed model has a unique tie-dye effect.

[0058] In the fourth step, when dyeing is completed, the limit of the protruding block 62 can be released by the limit assembly 7 to discharge the dye in the discharge box 3. First, pull the second handle 721 upwards. The second handle 721 is fixedly connected to the slider 72, driving the slider 72 to move upward. The slider 72 drives the clamping block 73 fixedly connected thereto to compress the spring 71, thereby releasing the clamping connection between the clamping block 73 and the clamping groove 621. After the limit of the protruding block 62 is released, the adjusting plate 6 fixedly connected thereto rotates with the connecting piece 63 as the rotation axis, and the plug 61 fixedly connected on the rear adjusting plate 6 falls off from the discharge box 3, which is convenient for the discharge of the dye in the discharge box 3. The rear acceleration unit 8 drives the discharge box 3 to shake left and right to accelerate the drying of the raw materials in the discharge box 3.

[0059] The tie-dye pattern generating device based on the 3D printing technology realizes a structure in which a material discharge box 3 is arranged on a housing 1 of the 3D printer, and a cover plate 4 can seal the material discharge box 3. After a material tray is placed in the sealed material discharge box 3, a dye configured in a good proportion is added to dye the printing material. The acceleration unit 8 can drive the material discharge box 3 to move left and right to achieve the purpose of accelerating dyeing. At the same time, the amount of dye added, the amplitude of the left and right movement of the material discharge box 3 and the dyeing time are different, so as to achieve the purpose of dyeing the printing material to different degrees. On the one hand, it is convenient to make the color of the printed model have a unique tie-dye effect, and on the other hand, it reduces the difficulty of coloring, so that non-professionals can also have a good experience, thereby increasing the playability of the 3D printer.
