Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical 3D printers, and more specifically to a temperature control device for a medical 3D printer with condensate collection function. Background Technology

[0002] In the medical field, 3D printing technology is gradually demonstrating its enormous application potential, bringing innovative solutions to the healthcare industry. Medical 3D printers can precisely manufacture various complex medical models, implants, and medical devices according to patients' individual needs, playing an important role in surgical planning, customized rehabilitation aids, and drug development.

[0003] However, medical 3D printing faces numerous technical challenges, with temperature control and condensation issues being particularly prominent. 3D printing typically employs sintering or fused deposition modeling techniques, constructing three-dimensional objects by printing layers of bondable materials. Temperature control is crucial in this process. Excessive temperature or large temperature fluctuations during printing can alter the physical and chemical properties of the printing materials, leading to deformation, dimensional deviations, and internal structural defects, severely impacting print quality and product applicability. For example, in printing complex human skeletal models, improper temperature control can cause deformation of critical structures, failing to provide accurate surgical guidance.

[0004] Meanwhile, condensation generated during printing is also a significant issue. Cooling operations for precise temperature control inevitably produce condensation. If this condensation is not collected and treated effectively and promptly, it will accumulate inside the printer, potentially dripping onto the object being printed, affecting its surface quality and structural integrity. It may also seep into the printer's electronic components and mechanical parts, causing short circuits, corrosion, and other malfunctions, shortening the printer's lifespan and increasing maintenance costs. For example, condensation entering the printer's transmission components can cause rust, affecting transmission accuracy and consequently printing accuracy.

[0005] Existing 3D printer temperature control technologies, such as the device disclosed in CN206493601U, while achieving temperature control to a certain extent, lack effective means for handling condensate. When faced with the stringent requirements of high precision and high stability in medical 3D printing, existing technologies struggle to meet practical needs, thus limiting the further development and application of medical 3D printing technology.

[0006] In conclusion, the development of a temperature control device for medical 3D printers with condensate collection capabilities is urgently needed. This device can effectively solve the challenges of temperature control and condensate treatment during medical 3D printing, improve print quality and equipment stability, promote the widespread application of medical 3D printing technology in clinical applications and medical product manufacturing, and provide strong support for the development of the medical industry. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows: A constant temperature control device for a medical 3D printer with condensate collection function, comprising: a printer body, a light-transmitting plate fixedly connected to its front side, power sources symmetrically arranged at both ends of the printer body and fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the power sources at both ends of the printer body, a cooling component fixedly connected to the bottom of the power sources, a movable plate arranged inside the printer body and fixedly connected to the top of the movable plate on the inner wall of the printer body, and a transmission component, the top of which is located on the side of the printer body where the cooling component is located, and a collection component fixedly connected to the bottom of the transmission component;

[0008] The cooling component includes a heat insulation frame. This frame controls the internal temperature of the printer body, ensuring it remains within a suitable range during printing and preventing deformation of the printed object. A transfer tube is installed inside the heat insulation frame, with its inner wall fixedly connected to the top of the transfer tube. Contact components inside the cooling component conduct heat, allowing for efficient heat transfer within the printer body. A vent pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the transfer tube. The combination of the transfer component and the bottom-connected collection component allows for the removal of condensate from the cooling component. Water is collected and transported to prevent it from accumulating inside the printer body, which could reduce printing quality. The outer surface of the air duct is evenly equipped with diversion pipes, and the outer surface of the air duct is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the diversion pipes. A contact component is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the diversion pipes. A transmission pipe inside the cooling component can conduct the cold air generated by the power source to the contact component, thus preventing the contact component from experiencing reduced heat conduction efficiency due to its own high temperature. A diversion pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the contact component. An insulation board is fixedly connected to the back of the insulation frame. There are two insulation frames, and their outer surfaces are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the printer body.

[0009] Preferably, the collecting component includes a collecting frame. By setting the collecting component, condensate generated by the contact components during operation can be collected, thereby preventing condensate from gradually dripping into the printer body due to prolonged stagnation, which would cause a large accumulation of condensate inside the printer body. A pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the collecting frame. The collecting frame inside the collecting component can conduct and collect condensate from the upper and lower contact components, and then enter the pipe through the collecting frame. A turning pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the guiding pipe. Due to gravity, the condensate is conducted into the turning pipe and then enters the collecting box through the turning pipe. The collecting box is fixedly connected to the bottom of the turning pipe, and a bonding plate is fixedly connected to the top of the collecting box. There are fourteen collecting frames. The bonding plate on the top of the collecting component can fix the collecting component to the bottom of the printer body, so that the condensate generated inside the printer body can be transferred to the outside of the printer body, thereby preventing the water generated by cooling and condensation from affecting the inside of the printer body. The top of the collecting frame is in contact with the bottom of the transmission component.

[0010] Preferably, the transmission component includes a conductive component. By providing the transmission component, condensate generated on the contact component can be conducted, thereby preventing condensate from accumulating inside the printer body. A collection plate is fixedly connected to the top of the conductive component. A sponge plate inside the transmission component can absorb the condensate. When condensate is generated on the contact component, it will accumulate on the heat-conducting plate on the contact component. A limiting frame is fixedly connected to the top of the collection plate. After accumulating for a period of time, the condensate begins to flow down in streams and enters the sponge plate inside the limiting frame, where it is absorbed. The limiting frame... A pressing spring is symmetrically arranged on the outer surface, and the outer surface of the limiting frame is fixedly connected to the right end of the pressing spring. A pressing plate is fixedly connected to the left end of the pressing spring, and a telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the right end of the pressing plate. A sponge board is fixedly connected to the right end of the telescopic rod. When the water inside the sponge board reaches its maximum capacity or when the pressing plate is manually controlled to press the telescopic rod against the sponge board, the condensate accumulated inside the transmission component will flow into the collection component through the conduction component, thereby completing the collection and transfer of condensate. The limiting frame is located directly above the conduction component, and both ends of the limiting frame are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the insulation frame.

[0011] Preferably, the contact component includes an outer frame. By providing the contact component, heat inside the printer body can be conducted. Heat dissipation copper fins are evenly distributed inside the outer frame. The contact component connects to a distribution pipe, allowing cool air to enter the outer frame and cool the heat dissipation copper fins. This keeps the heat-conducting plate, which is in contact with the heat dissipation copper fins, at a low temperature, thus enabling the contact component to conduct and cool the heat inside the printer body. Furthermore, the inner wall of the outer frame is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the heat dissipation copper fins, and a heat-conducting plate is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the heat dissipation copper fins. The heat-conducting plate can then be used to cool the printer body. Moisture inside the printer body condenses and adheres to the heat-conducting plate. The condensate is then collected and slid down through slots in the heat-conducting plate, entering the conductive components and finally the collection components. This process extracts and transfers the condensate inside the printer body. Symmetrical locking rods are arranged inside the heat-dissipating copper fins. The outer surface of each locking rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heat-dissipating copper fin. The locking rods and heat-conducting plate inside the contact components allow heat to be conducted between adjacent heat-dissipating copper fins, ensuring that their temperatures remain similar. A heat-conducting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of each locking rod.

[0012] Preferably, the conductive component includes a cylinder. By setting the conductive component, condensate can be transferred, and it avoids excessive impact force during the transfer of condensate due to the distance between the top contact component and the conductive component, which could cause splashing when the condensate falls, resulting in some condensate splashing onto the inner wall of the printer body and affecting the printing effect. A filter plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cylinder. The delay cylinder set inside the conductive component can reduce the conduction time of condensate and reduce the kinetic potential energy of the condensate, thereby preventing splashing when the condensate drips. A guide cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the filter plate, and a guide ring is fixedly connected to the top of the guide cylinder. When water from inside the conductive component enters the cylinder, it first accumulates in the space formed between the bottom of the delay cylinder and the inner wall of the cylinder. When there is too much condensate, it will fall from the through hole at the top of the delay cylinder, thereby delaying the conduction of condensate. The cylinder body is equipped with delay cylinders evenly arranged inside. By setting up the cylinder body, the condensate accumulated inside the upper and lower contact components can be conducted to the top of the collecting component. The inner wall of the cylinder body is fixedly connected to the bottom of the delay cylinder. The delay cylinders inside the cylinder body can slowly transfer the condensate to the bottom delay cylinder. When a large amount of condensate accumulates in the bottom delay cylinder, the condensate begins to enter the guide ring, and then enters the top of the guide cylinder from the guide ring. After that, it enters the filter plate along the gap of the guide cylinder. There are three delay cylinders. They enter the collection frame on the collecting component through the through holes opened on the filter plate, completing the collection, conduction and transfer of condensate. The outer diameter of the bottom of the delay cylinder is consistent with the inner diameter of the cylinder body. The conduction component can dissipate the kinetic potential energy of the condensate as it moves inside the cylinder body, thereby preventing the condensate from splashing when dripping.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0014] 1. This invention, by incorporating a cooling component, can control the internal temperature of the printer body, thereby ensuring that the internal temperature is controlled within a suitable range during printing and preventing deformation of the printed object. Furthermore, the contact components within the cooling component can conduct heat, allowing the cooling component to effectively transfer heat from the printer body. The transmission component on the cooling component, in conjunction with the collection component connected to the bottom, can collect and transfer condensed water from the cooling component, preventing water accumulation inside the printer body and thus reducing printing quality. Additionally, the transmission pipe within the cooling component can conduct cold air generated by the power source to the contact components, preventing the contact components from becoming too hot during heat conduction and thus reducing conduction efficiency.

[0015] 2. This invention, by incorporating a collection component, can collect the condensate generated by the contact components during operation, thereby preventing the condensate from gradually dripping into the printer body due to prolonged stagnation and accumulating a large amount of condensate inside the printer body. Furthermore, the collection frame inside the collection component can conduct and collect the condensate from the upper and lower contact components, allowing it to enter the pipe. Due to gravity, the condensate is conducted to the turning pipe and then into the collection box. The mounting plate on the top of the collection component can fix the collection component to the bottom of the printer body, thus allowing the condensate generated inside the printer body to be transported to the outside, preventing the water from condensing during cooling from affecting the inside of the printer body.

[0016] 3. This invention, by setting up a transmission component, can conduct condensate generated on the contact component, thereby preventing condensate from accumulating inside the printer body. The sponge plate inside the transmission component can absorb the condensate. When condensate is generated on the contact component, it will accumulate on the heat-conducting plate on the contact component. After accumulating for a period of time, the condensate will begin to flow down in streams and enter the sponge plate inside the limiting frame, where it will be absorbed. When the water source inside the sponge plate reaches its maximum capacity or when the press plate is manually controlled to press the telescopic rod against the sponge plate, the condensate accumulated inside the transmission component will flow into the collection component through the conduction component, thereby completing the collection and transfer of condensate.

[0017] 4. This invention, by setting a contact component, can conduct heat inside the printer body. The contact component is connected to a distribution pipe, allowing cool air to enter the outer frame and cool the heat sink copper fins. This keeps the heat-conducting plate, which is in contact with the heat sink copper fins, at a low temperature. The contact component can conduct and cool the heat inside the printer body. Furthermore, the heat-conducting plate allows moisture inside the printer body to condense and adhere to it. The slots on the heat-conducting plate allow the condensate to collect and slide down, entering the conduction component and finally the collection component, thus completing the extraction and transfer of condensate inside the printer body. The snap-fit ​​rod and heat-conducting plate inside the contact component can conduct heat between adjacent heat sink copper fins, ensuring that the temperatures of adjacent heat sink copper fins remain at similar levels.

[0018] 5. This invention, by setting up a conductive component, can transmit condensate water and avoid excessive impact force during transmission caused by the top contact component being too far from the transmission component, which would cause splashing when the condensate water falls and thus some of the condensate water splashes onto the inner wall of the printer body, affecting the printing effect. Furthermore, the delay cylinder set inside the conductive component can reduce the conduction time of the condensate water and reduce the kinetic potential energy of the condensate water itself, thereby preventing splashing when the condensate water drips. When the water source inside the transmission component enters the cylinder, it will first accumulate in the space formed between the bottom of the delay cylinder and the inner wall of the cylinder. When there is too much condensate water, it will fall from the through hole at the top of the delay cylinder, thus slowing down the transmission of condensate water.

[0019] 6. By setting up a cylindrical body, the present invention can conduct the condensate accumulated inside the upper and lower contact components to the top of the collecting component. The delay cylinder set inside the cylindrical body can slowly transfer the condensate to the bottom delay cylinder. When a large amount of condensate accumulates in the bottom delay cylinder, the condensate begins to enter the guide ring, and then enters the top of the guide cylinder from the guide ring. After that, it enters the filter plate along the gap of the guide cylinder, and enters the collection frame on the collecting component through the through holes opened on the filter plate. This completes the collection, conduction and transfer of condensate. In addition, the conduction component can consume its own kinetic energy when the condensate moves inside the cylindrical body, thereby avoiding splashing when the condensate drips.

[0029] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described to better illustrate the principles and practical application of the invention, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose. Example

[0030] use Figures 1-8 The following describes a temperature control device for a medical 3D printer with condensate collection function according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0031] like Figures 1-8As shown, the present invention provides a medical 3D printer constant temperature control device with condensate collection function, comprising: a printer body, a light-transmitting plate fixedly connected to its front side, power sources symmetrically arranged at both ends of the printer body, and the two ends of the printer body fixedly connected to the outer surface of the power sources, a cooling component fixedly connected to the bottom of the power sources, a movable plate arranged inside the printer body, and the inner wall of the printer body fixedly connected to the top of the movable plate; and a transmission component, the top of which is located on the side where the cooling component is located inside the printer body, and a collection component fixedly connected to the bottom of the transmission component.

[0032] The cooling component includes a heat insulation frame. This frame controls the internal temperature of the printer body, ensuring it remains within a suitable range during printing and preventing deformation of the printed product. A transfer tube is installed inside the heat insulation frame, with its inner wall fixedly connected to the top of the tube. Contact components within the cooling component conduct heat, allowing for efficient heat transfer from the printer body. A vent pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the transfer tube. The combination of the transfer component and the bottom-connected collection component allows for the removal of condensate from the cooling component. The system collects and transmits raw water to prevent it from accumulating inside the printer body and causing reduced printing quality. The outer surface of the air duct is evenly equipped with distribution pipes, and the outer surface of the air duct is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the distribution pipes. A contact component is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the distribution pipes. A transmission pipe inside the cooling component can conduct the cold air generated by the power source to the contact component, thus preventing the contact component from experiencing reduced heat conduction efficiency due to its own high temperature. A guide pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the contact component, and an insulation board is fixedly connected to the back of the insulation frame. There are two insulation frames, and their outer surfaces are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the printer body.

[0033] The collection component includes a collection frame. By setting up the collection component, condensate generated by the contact components during operation can be collected, thus preventing condensate from dripping into the printer body due to prolonged stagnation and causing a large accumulation of condensate inside the printer body. A pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the collection frame. The collection frame inside the collection component can conduct and collect condensate from the upper and lower contact components, and then enter the pipe through the collection frame. A bend pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the guide pipe. Due to gravity, the condensate is conducted into the bend pipe and then enters the collection box through the bend pipe. The collection box is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bend pipe, and a bonding plate is fixedly connected to the top of the collection box. There are fourteen collection frames. The bonding plate on the top of the collection component can fix the collection component to the bottom of the printer body, so that the condensate generated inside the printer body can be transferred to the outside of the printer body, thus preventing the water generated by cooling and condensation from affecting the inside of the printer body. The top of the collection frame is in contact with the bottom of the transmission component.

[0034] The transmission component includes a conductive component. By setting up the transmission component, condensate generated on the contact component can be conducted, thereby preventing condensate from accumulating inside the printer body. A collection plate is fixedly connected to the top of the conductive component. A sponge plate inside the transmission component can absorb the condensate. When condensate is generated on the contact component, it will accumulate on the heat-conducting plate on the contact component. A limit frame is fixedly connected to the top of the collection plate. After accumulating for a period of time, the condensate begins to flow down in streams and enters the sponge plate inside the limit frame, where it is absorbed. The outer surface of the limit frame... A pressing spring is symmetrically arranged, and the outer surface of the limiting frame is fixedly connected to the right end of the pressing spring. A pressing plate is fixedly connected to the left end of the pressing spring, and a telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the right end of the pressing plate. A sponge plate is fixedly connected to the right end of the telescopic rod. When the water inside the sponge plate reaches its maximum capacity or when the pressing plate is manually controlled to press the telescopic rod against the sponge plate, the condensate accumulated inside the transmission component will flow into the collection component through the conduction component, thereby completing the collection and transfer of condensate. The limiting frame is located directly above the conduction component, and both ends of the limiting frame are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the insulation frame.

[0035] The contact component includes an outer frame. By incorporating the contact component, heat can be conducted into the printer body. The interior of the outer frame is evenly equipped with heat dissipation copper fins. The contact component connects to a distribution pipe, allowing cool air to enter the outer frame and cool the heat dissipation copper fins. This keeps the heat-conducting plate, which is in contact with the heat dissipation copper fins, at a low temperature, enabling the contact component to conduct and cool the printer body. Furthermore, the inner wall of the outer frame is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the heat dissipation copper fins, and a heat-conducting plate is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the heat dissipation copper fins. The heat-conducting plate then cools the heat inside the printer body. Moisture adheres to the heat-conducting plate through condensation. The condensate is then collected and slid down through slots in the heat-conducting plate, entering the conductive components and finally the collection components. This completes the extraction and transfer of condensate inside the printer body. Symmetrical locking rods are arranged inside the heat-dissipating copper fins. The outer surface of the locking rods is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heat-dissipating copper fins. The locking rods and heat-conducting plates inside the contact components can conduct heat between adjacent heat-dissipating copper fins, ensuring that the temperatures of the two adjacent heat-dissipating copper fins remain at similar levels. A heat-conducting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the locking rods.

[0036] The conductive component includes a cylinder. By incorporating this component, condensate can be transferred, preventing excessive impact and splashing during transfer due to the distance between the top contact component and the conductive component. This prevents some condensate from splashing onto the printer's internal wall, affecting print quality. A filter plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cylinder. A delay cylinder within the conductive component reduces the condensate's conduction time and kinetic energy, further preventing splashing. A guide cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the filter plate, and a guide ring is fixedly connected to the top of the guide cylinder. When water from inside the conductive component enters the cylinder, it first accumulates in the space between the bottom of the delay cylinder and the inner wall of the cylinder. When there is excessive condensate, it falls through the through-hole at the top of the delay cylinder, thus slowing down the condensate's transfer. The interior is uniformly equipped with delay cylinders. By setting up the cylinders, the condensate accumulated inside the upper and lower contact components can be conducted to the top of the collecting component. The inner wall of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of the delay cylinder. The delay cylinders inside the cylinder can slowly transfer the condensate to the bottom delay cylinder. When a large amount of condensate accumulates in the bottom delay cylinder, the condensate begins to enter the guide ring, and then enters the top of the guide cylinder from the guide ring. After that, it enters the filter plate along the gap of the guide cylinder. There are three delay cylinders. The condensate enters the collection frame on the collecting component through the through holes opened on the filter plate, completing the collection, conduction and transfer of condensate. The outer diameter of the bottom of the delay cylinder is consistent with the inner diameter of the cylinder. The conduction component can dissipate the kinetic energy of the condensate as it moves inside the cylinder, thus preventing the condensate from splashing when dripping.

[0037] The specific workflow is as follows:

[0038] During operation, the temperature control device of this medical 3D printer uses power sources symmetrically arranged at both ends of the printer body to provide cold air to the cooling components. The cold air is then conducted through a transmission pipe inside the cooling components, and then through a distribution pipe to the interior of the contact components. This cools the evenly distributed heat dissipation copper fins inside the contact components, thus maintaining the temperature of the heat-conducting plate itself at a relatively low level. Furthermore, the heat-conducting fins inside the contact components allow heat to be transferred between the copper fins, ensuring the cooling effect of the copper fins on the heat dissipation plate. After prolonged operation, a large amount of condensation will accumulate on the heat-conducting plate, causing the condensation to flow down and be absorbed by a sponge plate inside the transmission components. When the concentration reaches its maximum or when the sponge board is squeezed by the extension rod using the pressing plate, the condensate will be squeezed out of the sponge board and enter the collection plate, and then into the conduction component. The evenly arranged delay cylinders inside the conduction component can slow down the transmission rate of the condensate. When the condensate enters the cylinder of the conduction component, it will stay in the space formed by the bottom of the delay cylinder and the inner wall of the cylinder. After the condensate accumulates inside the conduction component for a period of time, it will drip from the through hole at the top of the delay cylinder, and circulate back into the guide ring. Then, it will be transferred to the filter plate along the edge of the guide cylinder, and then enter the top of the collection component through the filter plate. The collection frame set on the top of the collection component will then enter the collection box, completing the transfer and collection of the condensate.
