[0002] 3D printing technology is a new type of additive manufacturing technology that is currently popular. The consumables of 3D printers are mainly divided into wires and powders. In the existing technology, when the consumables are wires, the wires need to be rolled into wire coils for easy transportation and storage. When in use, the end of the wire is connected to the print head of the 3D printer for use by the printer. During the 3D printing process, a wire consumable box is needed to fix the wire reel and transport the wire.

[0003] The prior art discloses a 3D printer consumables box with patent announcement number CN219968856U. The above patent provides a dry storage environment for consumables by cooperating with a fixing rod, a storage cylinder, a mounting block and a roller. The roller can effectively reduce the friction resistance of the consumables tray, thereby avoiding the consumables tray from getting stuck in the box body. The desiccant is placed in the center of the consumables tray, which saves the internal space of the box body while having a good moisture absorption effect. The present application has a simple structure, convenient disassembly and assembly, and high practicality. However, in actual use, the following deficiencies still exist: the consumables box is not easy to install reels of different sizes, and the wire is easily stuck in the consumables box when the wire is pulled out. Moreover, it is not easy to monitor the amount of wire used in the consumables box when the consumables box is in use, and it is easy to lack wire during printing, affecting printing efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, a 3D printing wire consumable box is needed to solve the problems in the prior art that it is difficult to install reels of different sizes and it is difficult to monitor the usage of the wire. Utility Model Content

[0007] The clamping mechanism includes two symmetrically distributed moving frames, and the two moving frames are slidably connected to the inner wall of the box body. The outer wall of the moving frame on one side close to the support rod is fixedly connected to two symmetrically distributed mounting plates through a connecting rod. Two parallel sliding columns are slidably inserted on the side of the mounting plate away from the moving frame. The outer wall of one side of the sliding column penetrates the mounting plate and is coaxially fixedly connected to the limiting plate.

[0008] It should be noted in the scheme that the monitoring component includes a transparent observation shell, an outer wall of one side of the transparent observation shell is fixedly connected to an outer wall of one side of the box body, an inner wall of the transparent observation shell is slidably connected to a sliding rod, an outer wall of one side of the sliding rod slides through one side of the box body and the movable frame and extends to the inside of the box body, an outer wall of one side of the sliding rod located inside the box body is fixedly connected to a second U-shaped seat, a second spring is sleeved on the outer surface of the sliding rod, one side of the second spring is fixedly connected to an outer wall of one side of the movable frame, the other side of the second spring is fixedly connected to an outer wall of one side of the second U-shaped seat, and rollers are rotatably connected between the inner walls at both ends of the second U-shaped seat through a rotating shaft.

[0009] It is further worth explaining that, the outer wall at one end of the box body is fixedly connected to two parallel fixed plates, one of the outer wall of one side of the fixed plates is fixedly connected to a stepper motor, the output end of the stepper motor is coaxially fixedly connected to a bidirectional threaded rod, one side of the bidirectional threaded rod rotates through a fixed plate and is rotatably connected to an outer wall of one side of the other fixed plate, the outer surface of the bidirectional threaded rod is threadedly connected to two parallel threaded sleeves, the outer wall at one end of the box body is provided with two parallel through holes, and the outer walls of one end of the two threaded sleeves respectively pass through the two through holes and are fixedly connected to the outer walls of one end of the two movable frames.

[0010] It should be further explained that an outlet pipe is fixedly connected to an outer wall of one side of the box body, and a box cover is rotatably connected to one end of the box body through a hinge.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the diameter of the roller is smaller than the diameter of the rolling wheel, and the top surface and the bottom surface of the threaded sleeve fit with the top surface and the bottom surface of the through hole.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the 3D printing wire consumables box provided by the utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0014] (1) Through the cooperation of the stepper motor and the clamping mechanism, the stepper motor drives the bidirectional threaded rod to rotate, so that the two threaded sleeves drive the two moving frames to approach each other, thereby causing the roller to collide with the wire reel to achieve the clamping of the wire reel. The operation is simple and effectively avoids the problem that the consumable box is difficult to install reels of different sizes.

[0015] (2) Through the adjustment of the monitoring component, when the roller contacts the wire body, the second spring is compressed. As the wire is used, the pressure on the second spring gradually decreases. The second spring pushes the second U-shaped seat to drive the slide bar to move toward the support rod. The consumption of the wire can be known through the transparent observation shell and the scale line, which effectively avoids the problem that it is difficult to monitor the usage of the wire in the consumable box.

[0025] Further as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, it is worth specifically explaining that, two parallel fixed plates 7 are fixedly connected to the outer wall at one end of the box body 1, one side outer wall of one of the fixed plates 7 is fixedly connected to a stepper motor 8, and the output end of the stepper motor 8 is coaxially fixedly connected to a bidirectional threaded rod 9, one side of the bidirectional threaded rod 9 rotates through one fixed plate 7 and is rotatably connected to the outer wall of one side of the other fixed plate 7, and the outer surface of the bidirectional threaded rod 9 is threadedly connected to two parallel threaded sleeves 10, and two parallel through holes 11 are provided on the outer wall at one end of the box body 1, and the outer walls of one end of the two threaded sleeves 10 respectively pass through the two through holes 11 and are fixedly connected to the outer walls of one end of the two moving frames 51.

[0026] Further as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, it is worth explaining in detail that an outlet pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the box body 1, and a box cover 13 is rotatably connected to one end of the box body 1 through a hinge.

[0027] Further as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it is worth explaining in detail that the mounting plate 52 is arranged in an inclined shape to improve the clamping effect of the wire reel, and a scale line is arranged on the outer wall of one end of the transparent observation shell 61 to facilitate observation of the position of the slide rod 62.

[0028] Further Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, it is worth specifically explaining that the diameter of the roller 57 is smaller than the diameter of the roller 65, which facilitates the roller 65 to act on the wire body in the wire reel, and the top and bottom surfaces of the threaded sleeve 10 are in contact with the top and bottom surfaces of the through hole 11, thereby improving the movement effect of the movable frame 51 inside the box body 1.

The second U-shaped seat 63 drives the slide bar 62 to move while moving. The position of one side of the slide bar 62 can be observed through the transparent observation shell 61, and the scale line on the outer wall of one end of the transparent observation shell 61 can be used to know the consumption of the wire, and the wire reel can be replaced in time to avoid lack of wire during printing, thereby affecting the printing efficiency, and effectively avoiding the problem that the consumable box is not easy to monitor the wire usage.

[0031] The stepper motor 8 can be purchased on the market. The stepper motor 8 is equipped with a power supply, which is a mature technology in this field and has been fully disclosed, so it will not be repeated in the specification.
