Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of 3D printing, in particular to an industrial 3D printer nozzle assembly. Background Art

[0002] In the application scenarios of industrial-grade 3D printing technology, nozzle clogging has always been a key bottleneck affecting production continuity and printing quality. Nozzle clogging occurs frequently. Traditional treatment methods often use rigid tools such as metal needles and wires for mechanical dredging. Although such methods can clear the blockage to a certain extent, they are very likely to scratch the inner wall of the nozzle during operation, resulting in aperture size deviation, which in turn affects subsequent printing accuracy and material extrusion uniformity, and even shortens the nozzle life, significantly increasing equipment maintenance costs.

[0003] Some current improvement plans attempt to prevent blockages by increasing printing temperatures or optimizing the feed structure. However, there is still a lack of effective means to deal with solidified material blockages. Some equipment uses high-pressure gas purging to clear blockages. However, this method cannot completely remove strongly adherent blockages and may blow debris into other components inside the nozzle, causing secondary failures. Simple and crude high-temperature burning treatments not only accelerate the fatigue aging of the nozzle metal material, but may also produce harmful gases, endangering operator health and environmental safety.

[0004] As the requirements for the precision and surface quality of 3D printed parts in high-end manufacturing fields such as aerospace and medical equipment continue to rise, the limitations of traditional nozzle blockage treatment technology have become increasingly prominent. How to efficiently remove blockages while protecting the integrity of the internal structure of the nozzle to the greatest extent has become a core problem that industrial-grade 3D printing technology urgently needs to break through. Developing a non-destructive and intelligent nozzle blockage treatment solution is of great significance to improving equipment reliability and production efficiency.

[0005] Chinese patent (publication number CN108927997A) discloses a 3D printing nozzle assembly, including a vertical tube, the top of the vertical tube is a closed end, a feed pipe arranged upwardly and fixedly connected to one side of the top of the vertical tube, an inner tube is fixedly installed at the bottom of the interior of the vertical tube, a vertically arranged movable tube is inserted at the bottom of the interior of the vertical tube, the outer part of the movable tube is provided with a sleeve arranged concentrically with the movable tube, the bottom end of the sleeve is fixedly connected to the movable tube through a tapered transition tube, the sleeve is sleeved on the outside of the vertical tube and threadedly connected with the vertical tube, the bottom ends of the inner tube and the movable tube are both provided with tapered ends, and a stirring mechanism is provided inside the vertical tube. The invention has the advantages of reasonable design and easy operation, the structure of the nozzle assembly is relatively flexible, convenient for corresponding adjustment, and convenient for practical use.

[0006] According to the above scheme, when the above scheme is used, the movable tube and the vertical tube are only detachably connected to facilitate cleaning or replacement of the movable tube. Two flexibly adjustable heating blocks are set on the outside of the vertical tube to promote material discharge. However, when the nozzle is clogged, it is impossible to automatically clean and unclog the nozzle in a timely manner. For this reason, we propose an industrial 3D printer nozzle assembly.

[0011] As a further feature of this solution, the trigger mechanism includes a heating tube, which is fixedly connected to the inside of the rectangular heating block. The bottom of the heating tube is fixedly connected to a connecting tube, the upper end of the heating tube is fixedly connected to the material guide tube, and the top of the inner wall of the heating tube is fixedly connected to a first folded corrugated sleeve with a reset function.

[0013] As a further feature of this solution, each of the second connecting strips is slidably connected to a triangular abutment block with a reset function, and each of the second connecting strips is slidably connected to a push block at one end close to the trigger circular plate, and the push block and the triangular abutment block are fixedly connected by a second steel wire rope.

[0014] As a further feature of this solution, the suction mechanism includes two arc-shaped heating blocks with a reset function, each of the arc-shaped heating blocks is slidably connected to the inside of the rectangular heating block, and multiple sliding rods are slidably connected to the inside of the rectangular heating block, each of the sliding rods is fixedly connected to the upper end of the corresponding arc-shaped heating block, and a movable ring is fixedly connected between all the sliding rods, and the bottom of the movable ring abuts against the upper end of each triangular abutting block.

[0015] As a further feature of this solution, the outer wall of the rectangular heating block is fixedly connected to a plurality of suction tubes, and the interior of each suction tube is slidably connected to a movable circular plate. Each movable circular plate is fixedly connected to the movable ring through a first steel wire rope, and the movable circular plate is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the suction tube through a third spring.

[0016] As a further feature of this solution, a heating ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the suction tube, each suction tube is fixedly connected to the heating tube through a matching tube, and the upper end of the rectangular heating block is fixedly connected to a first electric retracting arm.

[0017] As a further feature of this solution, the collection mechanism includes a recovery pipe, the inner wall of the recovery pipe is also fixedly connected to a heating ring, and the bottom of the rectangular heating block is fixedly connected to a contraction air tube.

[0018] As a further feature of this solution, the output end of the contraction air pipe is fixedly connected to a movable plate, and a connecting port and a connecting groove are provided on the outer wall of the movable plate. The connecting groove is connected to the recovery pipe through a ceramic fiber hose.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. When the present invention is used, when the nozzle is clogged, the material in the heating tube accumulates and increases. The first folded corrugated sleeve is squeezed and drives the connecting round rod upward, thereby pushing the trigger circular plate upward. The trigger circular plate abuts and lifts the push block. The push block pulls the triangular abutting block through the wire rope to break away from the abutment with the moving ring. The spring drives the moving ring downward, and the sliding rod drives the curved arc heating block to descend and fit the outer wall of the nozzle. The curved arc heating block is activated to melt the hardened material in the nozzle. At the same time, the moving ring descends to release the wire rope. Under the action of the spring, the suction pipe forms a negative pressure on the heating tube and the inside of the nozzle through the matching pipe, sucking out the melted waste material. The blockage is removed by suction, avoiding direct damage to the inner wall of the nozzle by means of a steel needle or the like.

[0022] 2. When the present invention is used, after the waste enters the suction pipe, the first electric retraction arm is started to lift the moving ring. The moving ring pulls the moving circular plate through the first steel wire rope, so that the waste in the suction pipe enters the heating pipe through the matching pipe. At the same time, the moving ring moves upward to pull the third folded corrugated sleeve to suck the contraction air pipe. Because the openings of the second and first pressure relief valves are small, the third folded corrugated sleeve resets slowly, and the suction of the contraction air pipe is continuously maintained to maintain it in a contracted state. The contraction of the contraction air pipe drives the connecting groove to connect with the connecting pipe, and then the waste in the heating pipe enters the recovery pipe through the connecting pipe and the connecting groove in turn, thereby realizing waste recovery.

[0048] See also Figures 5 to 11As shown, specifically, when the recycled waste enters the recycling pipe 12, melted materials will remain inside the ceramic fiber hose and the matching pipe 35, and the second electric retraction arm 31 is started to retract quickly. The gas inside the second folding corrugated sleeve 37 will quickly enter the matching pipe 35, and then enter the heating pipe 11 from the matching pipe 35. Note that at this time, since it is in the link of recycling waste, the connecting groove 6 is connected to the connecting pipe 27, and the gas inside the heating pipe 11 will enter the connecting groove 6 from the connecting pipe 27, and then enter the ceramic fiber hose from the connecting groove 6. The high-speed gas will blow all the remaining materials into the recycling pipe 12 for recycling.

[0049] The working principle of the present invention is:

[0050] When the present invention is used, the free end of the printing wire is passed through the guide tube 14 so that the free end of the printing wire is located inside the heating tube 11. At this time, the rectangular heating block 9 is started to heat the heating tube 11. At this time, the printing wire will melt inside the heating tube 11. The melted material inside the heating tube 11 will pass through the connecting tube 27, through the communication port 46 and the inside of the nozzle 10, and be discharged from the nozzle 10. The cooling fan 3 can cool the portion of the printing wire located between all the heat sinks 7 to prevent the melting of the printing wire from sticking to the inner wall of the guide tube 14.

[0051] When the nozzle 10 is clogged, the material inside the heating tube 11 gradually increases, the first folded corrugated sleeve 20 will be compressed, the first folded corrugated sleeve 20 will drive all the connecting rods 26 to move upward, the connecting rods 26 drive the trigger circular plate 25 to move upward, when the trigger circular plate 25 moves upward and abuts against the bottom of the push block 32 and lifts it upward, the push block 32 will pull the triangular abutment block 30 through the second steel wire rope 28, when all the triangular abutment blocks 30 are out of contact with the bottom of the moving ring 16, the second spring 18 will drive the moving ring 16 to move downward, and when the moving ring 16 moves downward, it will pass through the sliding rod 17 The two arc-bending heating blocks 15 are driven to move downward. At this time, the outer wall of the nozzle 10 abuts against the two arc-bending heating blocks 15. The arc-bending heating blocks 15 are started, and the arc-bending heating blocks 15 heat the nozzle 10. The hardened material inside the nozzle 10 is gradually heated and melted. As the moving ring 16 descends, the first steel wire rope 22 is released, and the third spring 24 pulls the moving circular plate 21 and the second folded corrugated sleeve 37. At this time, the inside of the suction pipe 34 performs a suction working motion on the inside of the heating pipe 11 through the matching pipe 35, so that the inside of the heating pipe 11 and the nozzle 10 generates a negative pressure state, and the melted waste is sucked out;

[0052] At the same time, when the movable ring 16 descends, it compresses the third folded bellows 43. At this time, the gas inside the third folded bellows 43 will enter the contraction air pipe 44. Since the space inside the contraction air pipe 44 is very small, the excess gas will be discharged through the second pressure relief valve 42 and the first pressure relief valve.

[0053] When the movable circular plate 21 is reset under the action of the third spring 24, the melted waste material will enter the interior of the heating tube 11 from the nozzle 10 through the communication port 46 and the connecting tube 27, and then enter the interior of the suction tube 34 from the heating tube 11 through the matching tube 35. Since there is a space between the movable circular plate 21 and the bottom end of the inner wall of the suction tube 34, the material is prevented from splashing onto the bottom of the movable circular plate 21 when entering the suction tube 34.

[0054] When the waste has entered the suction pipe 34, the first electric retraction arm 19 is started to lift the moving ring 16, and the moving ring 16 pulls the moving circular plate 21 downward through the first steel wire rope 22. At this time, the waste inside the suction pipe 34 will enter the heating pipe 11 through the matching tube 35. While the moving ring 16 moves upward, it will also pull the third folded corrugated sleeve 43. At this time, the third folded corrugated sleeve 43 will suck the inside of the contraction air pipe 44. Since the internal space of the contraction air pipe 44 is small, the contraction air pipe 44 will shrink rapidly. At this time, since the openings of the second pressure relief valve 42 and the first pressure relief valve are small, the third folded corrugated sleeve 43 resets slowly, and the contraction air pipe 44 is always in a suction state, and the contraction air pipe 44 can also be always in a contracted state. The contraction of the contraction air pipe 44 will also drive the connecting groove 6 to connect with the connecting pipe 27. In this way, based on the above, when the waste enters the heating tube 11, it will also enter the connecting groove 6 through the connecting tube 27, and then enter the recovery tube 12 from the connecting groove 6. When the waste completely enters the recovery tube 12, the first electric retraction arm 19 is started to drive the movable ring 16 to continue to move upward, and the movable ring 16 drives the third folded corrugated sleeve 43 to extend, so that the interior of the second pressure relief valve 42 abuts against the bottom of the abutment rod 40, increasing the air intake of the third folded corrugated sleeve 43, and the third folded corrugated sleeve 43 will quickly reset. When the movable ring 16 moves upward, it will also abut against the outer wall of the triangular abutment block 30. When the outer wall of the movable ring 16 disengages from the abutment with the outer wall of the triangular abutment block 30, the second spring 18 will drive the movable ring 16 to tightly abut against the upper end of the triangular abutment block 30, and the first electric retraction arm 19 resets and contracts to complete the discharge of the blockage.

[0055] The above are only preferred specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with this technical field, within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solutions and inventive concepts of the present invention, should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
