Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of 3D printing technology, and in particular to a 3D printing precision feeding device with multiple anti-breaking functions. Background Art

[0002] 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing technology, is a technology that manufactures physical parts by adding materials layer by layer based on three-dimensional CAD data.

[0003] The patent with publication number CN115972583A discloses a 3D printer feeding device that prevents material shortages. The device includes a material preparation box, a material box, a positioning component, a micro water pump, and a transmission tube. Two transmission tubes are provided, and the two transmission tubes are fixedly connected to the input end and output end of the micro water pump, respectively. The micro water pump is connected to the material preparation box and the material box through the two transmission tubes. The positioning component is electrically connected to the micro water pump. The micro water pump receives the real-time water level height signal of the positioning component and transfers the liquid consumables in the material preparation box to the material box to prevent material shortages. The micro water pump starts and emits a warning sound. In the above invention, when the liquid photocurable resin in the material box is almost exhausted, the micro water pump transfers the liquid photocurable resin in the material preparation box to the material box. After the transfer is completed, the user adds liquid photocurable resin to the inside of the material preparation box, so that the liquid photocurable resin in the material box is always within the preset safety threshold to achieve the purpose of preventing material shortages.

[0004] The current mainstream solutions generally have only one anti-material-breakage setting. When a single positioning component fails, the anti-material-breakage mechanism fails, and 3D printing will produce empty materials, which directly affects the 3D printing effect. In addition, the float is driven up and down by magnetic attraction to indicate the liquid level. This magnetic attraction method is not strong and can easily detach due to misalignment, causing the float to slip and affecting subsequent warning work.

[0005] In view of this, we propose a 3D printing precision feeding device with multiple anti-breaking functions. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to overcome the defects in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a 3D printing precision feeding device with multiple anti-breaking functions. The floating ring in the positioning component fluctuates up and down with the liquid level, triggering the position of the hammer block in the scale cylinder to display the liquid level in the feeding bin. When the liquid level reaches the specified position, the warning light of the warning part lights up to give a warning. In addition, when the liquid in the anti-breaking component stops flowing, the fan wheel stops rotating, the second spring pushes the second rack to slide, and the pressing arm triggers the control button to shut down the 3D printer, forming a multiple anti-breaking mechanism to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a 3D printing precision feeding device with multiple anti-breaking functions, comprising a feeding hopper for storing printer liquid raw materials, a stirring assembly for stirring the liquid raw materials, a positioning assembly for measuring the liquid level in the feeding hopper, and an anti-breaking assembly for preventing material breaking. The stirring assembly is installed inside the feeding hopper to stir the raw materials to prevent them from solidifying, the positioning assembly is installed on the side wall of the feeding hopper, and the anti-breaking assembly is installed at the outlet pipe opening provided at the bottom of the feeding hopper;

[0008] The positioning assembly includes a floating ring slidably connected to the upper material bin, a graduated cylinder fixed to the side wall of the upper material bin, a hammer block slidably sleeved inside the graduated cylinder, a connecting line passing around the top of the graduated cylinder and connected to the floating ring and the hammer block, and an adjustable warning member provided on the outer wall of the graduated cylinder. The warning member includes a fixing frame clamped to the outer wall of the graduated cylinder, a warning light mounted on the outer wall of the fixing frame, and a cam rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixing frame.

[0009] In this setting, the floating ring moves up and down with the liquid level in the upper hopper, and the hammer slides up and down in the graduated cylinder accordingly to display the liquid level in the upper hopper. By fixing the warning piece on the graduated cylinder, when the liquid level drops, the hammer moves up and contacts the warning piece, and the first rack drives the cam to rotate. The cam triggers the warning light button, and the warning light lights up to warn that raw materials need to be added to the upper hopper to avoid material shortage.

[0010] The anti-breakage component includes a fan wheel rotatably connected to the discharge pipe, a ratchet member coaxially sleeved on the top of the fan wheel, a second rack engaged with one side of the ratchet member, a pressing arm welded and fixed to the top surface of the second rack, and a second spring arranged at one end of the second rack; a control button is installed above the outlet of the discharge pipe, and the pressing arm moves toward and contacts the control button to turn on and off the 3D printer.

[0011] In this setting, when the liquid raw material flows, it drives the fan wheel to rotate, and the ratchet wheel rotates accordingly, driving the second rack to slide, squeezing the second spring, so that the second spring is always in a compressed energy storage state. When the liquid raw material is exhausted, the fan wheel stops rotating, and the second spring pushes the second rack to slide, pushing the pressing arm to squeeze the control button, turning off the 3D printer.

[0012] As a further improvement of the present technical solution, the stirring assembly includes a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the loading hopper, a plurality of stirring rods welded and fixed to the side walls of the rotating shaft, and a spiral blade welded and fixed to the bottom end of the outer wall of the rotating shaft. A motor is installed at the center of the top surface of the loading hopper, and the output shaft of the motor is coaxially connected to the rotating shaft.

[0013] This setting starts the motor, drives the rotating shaft to rotate, rotates the stirring rod, stirs the raw materials to prevent solidification, and at the same time the spiral blade drives the liquid raw materials into the discharge pipe.

[0014] As a further improvement of this technical solution, a scraper ring is provided on the outer wall of the floating ring, the outer wall of the scraper ring is in contact with the inner wall of the loading bin, and the loading bin and the top surface of the scale cylinder are welded with a fixed pulley for guiding the connecting line.

[0015] In this setting, the scraper ring moves up and down with the floating ring to scrape off the material attached to the inner wall of the upper hopper, and the fixed pulley guides the connecting line to connect the hammer block.

[0016] As a further improvement of the technical solution, a first rack is welded and fixed to the side wall of the hammer block, a long hole matching the size of the first rack is opened on the side wall of the scale cylinder, and a liquid level scale line is provided on the side wall of the scale cylinder.

[0017] As a further improvement of the present technical solution, a convex tooth adapted to the first rack is provided on the base circle side surface of the cam, and when the protruding portion of the cam is in a horizontal state, it presses the switch button of the warning light.

[0018] The first rack of these two settings moves up and down with the hammer block, driving the cam to rotate, turning on the warning light, and the liquid level scale line conveniently and intuitively displays the liquid level in the loading bin.

[0019] As a further improvement of the technical solution, fastening bolts for fixing are threadedly connected to two opposite side walls of the fixing frame, and a fixing ring for installing a warning light is provided on one side of the fixing frame.

[0020] This setup uses fastening bolts to fix the fixing bracket to the scale cylinder, and the fixing ring facilitates the installation of the warning light.

[0021] As a further improvement of the present technical solution, a central shaft is provided in the middle of the impeller, and the central shaft extends out of the side wall of the discharge pipe and is coaxially connected to the ratchet member.

[0022] This setting rotates the fan wheel, which drives the ratchet wheel to rotate through the central shaft.

[0023] As a further improvement of the present technical solution, the ratchet member includes a center block, an outer tooth ring rotatably connected to the outside of the center block, and a pawl hinged to the center block, the outer tooth ring is engaged with the second rack, the inner side wall of the outer tooth ring is provided with internal teeth adapted to the pawl, and a first spring is provided on the side of the pawl away from the hinged end.

[0024] In this setting, when the center block rotates, the pawl enters the groove of the inner teeth under the action of centrifugal force, thereby driving the outer gear ring to rotate. When the center block stops rotating, the pawl disengages the groove of the inner teeth under the action of the first spring.

[0025] As a further improvement of the present technical solution, a feed port is provided on the top surface of the loading bin, and a top block is adhered and fixed to the end of the pressing arm. When the impeller rotates, the second rack is at the end away from the control button, and the second spring is in a compressed state. When the impeller stops rotating, the second rack is at the end close to the control button, and the top block squeezes the control button.

[0026] This setting ensures that when the liquid raw material in the loading bin is used up, the arm squeeze control button is pressed to shut down the 3D printer, preventing the 3D printer from running with empty material.

[0027] As a further improvement of the present technical solution, the motor and the warning light are both connected to an external power source via wires, the control button is connected to a 3D printer via a signal line, and the discharge pipe is connected to the 3D printer.

[0028] This setting provides power for the motor and warning light to operate, and the control button can control the 3D printer.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0030] 1. This 3D printing precision feeding device with multiple anti-breaking functions starts the motor to drive the rotating shaft to rotate, so that the stirring rod stirs the liquid raw material to prevent it from solidifying, and the spiral blade smoothly guides the raw material into the discharge pipe, forming a feeding state from the raw material output source.

[0031] 2. This 3D printing precision feeding device has multiple anti-material-break functions. The floating ring moves up and down with the liquid level in the feeding bin, and the hammer block slides up and down in the graduated cylinder accordingly, indicating the raw material level in the feeding bin. By fixing the warning piece on the graduated cylinder, when the liquid level drops, the hammer block moves up and connects with the warning piece. The first rack drives the cam to rotate, and the cam triggers the warning light button. The warning light lights up and issues a warning, reminding the staff to deal with it in time to avoid material breakage due to lack of liquid, thus forming an early warning and material refilling state during the working process.

[0032] 3. This 3D printing precision feeding device with multiple anti-material-breaking functions, when the liquid raw material flows in the discharge pipe, drives the fan wheel to rotate, and the ratchet wheel rotates accordingly, drives the rack to slide, and squeezes the second spring, so that the second spring is always in a compressed energy storage state. When the liquid raw material is exhausted, the fan wheel stops rotating, and the second spring pushes the second rack to slide, pushing the pressing arm to squeeze the control button, shutting down the 3D printer to avoid running with empty material.
