Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of color mixing of printing consumables, and in particular to a consumable color mixing device for 3D printing. Background Art

[0002] 3D printing is a rapid prototyping material technology. 3D printing is a process that uses digital model files as the basis, uses powdered materials and other adhesive materials, and then constructs objects by printing layer by layer. 3D printing technology is often used in fields such as mold manufacturing and industrial design. During the 3D printing process, the printing consumables need to be stirred and mixed so that the requirements for the use of the consumables can be met during the mixing process.

[0003] When the existing printing consumables are mixed, it is usually necessary to put the prepared materials into the mixing barrel, and then mix the colors. After mixing, the consumables are poured out. During this process, manpower is used, and the stirring device is in a stopped state when pouring out, which cannot increase the output and is inconvenient to use.

[0004] Therefore, we make improvements on this and propose a color mixing device for 3D printing consumables. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to solve the problem that the color mixing barrel is transported manually during the existing color mixing, and the stirring device is in a stopped state when pouring out, which cannot increase the output and is inconvenient to use.

[0006] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A color mixing device for consumables for 3D printing comprises a base, a support column is fixedly connected to the base, a guide rail is fixedly connected to one end of the support column away from the base, a reduction motor is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the guide rail, a rotating rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the reduction motor, an end of the rotating rod away from the reduction motor is rotatably connected to a conveying plate through a rotating shaft, a placing table is fixedly installed on the conveying plate, a lifting mechanism is arranged on the base, a gantry is fixedly installed on one end of the lifting mechanism, a color mixing mechanism is arranged on the gantry, and a control mechanism is also arranged on the base.

[0008] Furthermore, the color mixing mechanism includes a driving motor fixedly mounted on the top of the gantry, a rotating column is fixedly mounted on the output end of the driving motor, a mounting rod is evenly fixedly mounted on the rotating column, and a stirring blade is evenly fixedly mounted on the mounting rod.

[0009] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a hydraulic cylinder fixedly mounted on the base, and an output end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the gantry.

[0010] Furthermore, arc grooves are evenly arranged on the guide rail.

[0011] Furthermore, a mixing barrel is placed on the placement table, and an arc plate is fixedly installed on the bottom of the mixing barrel.

[0012] Furthermore, the arc-shaped plate is compatible with the arc-shaped groove and the placement table.

[0013] Furthermore, the control mechanism includes a switch group arranged on the base.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following technical effects:

[0015] The output end of the reduction motor is driven by the rotating rod to rotate, the rotating rod drives the conveying plate, and the conveying plate drives the placing table. The rotating rod is rotated one circle to convey the mixing barrel forward, so that the mixing barrel to be mixed can be automatically conveyed to the bottom of the mixing mechanism for mixing. This solves the problem that the prepared materials need to be loaded into the mixing barrel, and then the colors are mixed, and the consumables are poured out after mixing. During this period, manpower is used, and the stirring device is in a stopped state when pouring out, which cannot increase the output and is inconvenient to use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
