Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of 3D printer structures, and in particular to a flying printing device and a 3D printer. Background Art

[0002] 3D printing technology is the process of melting the layers of metal powder to obtain a formed part. After each layer is melted, the melting platform drops, and new powder is spread over this layer to repeat the above melting process. This process is repeated to obtain a formed part. 3D printing technology is divided into two types: SLS and SLM. SLS is used for sintering and molding polymer powder materials, such as nylon, TPU, PP, PEEK, etc. The metal material used is a mixed powder with low melting point metal or polymer material after treatment. During the processing, the low melting point material melts, but the high melting point metal powder does not melt. The melted material is used to achieve bonding molding, so the entity has pores and poor mechanical properties. If it is to be used, it must be remelted at high temperature. SLM is mainly used for melting and molding of metal powders, such as titanium alloy and stainless steel. SLS is selective laser sintering, and SLM is selective laser melting. As the name suggests, laser is used to completely melt the powder during the processing, and no binder is required. The molding accuracy and mechanical properties are better than SLS.

[0003] At present, the powder dropping structure of SLM 3D printing technology contains a large amount of printing powder and the corresponding powder delivery pipeline, which is not suitable for movement, and the laser components are also fixed. If you need to print a product with a larger format, you need more laser heads. The equipment is large and has many parts, complex structure, and high cost. At present, SLM 3D fixed printing is to first drop the powder from both sides of the powder dropping structure at one time, so that the powder that can print a layer is accumulated in the molding cavity, and then the accumulated powder is scraped flat by a scraper. Due to the heavy weight of the accumulated metal powder, the resistance to the scraper when spreading the powder is large, and the scraper is subjected to a large force, which affects the service life of the scraper. When the scraper scrapes the powder, the powder dropping structure stops spreading the powder. The three processes of spreading powder, scraping powder and melting powder can only be performed at the same time, and the overall printing efficiency is low. Summary of the invention

[0004] The first purpose of the utility model is to provide a flying printing device to solve the problem of low efficiency of current SLM 3D printing.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions.

The guide components are located on both sides of the printing substrate, the sliding component is slidably connected to the guide components, the laser printing component and the powder spreading component are both connected to the sliding component, and the powder spreading component is located on the side of the laser printing component.

[0007] The utility model adopts the above technical solution, by setting guide components on both sides of the printing substrate, and sliding components are slidably connected to the guide components, so that the sliding components can slide along the guide components, and then the laser printing component and the powder spreading component are both connected to the sliding component, so that powder spreading and printing can be carried out simultaneously when the sliding component slides, and the powder spreading components are respectively located on the sides of the laser printing component. When the sliding component moves, the powder spreading component spreads powder on the printing substrate during movement, and the laser printing component prints and melts the spread powder during movement, so that large-format printing can be achieved with fewer laser heads, the number of laser heads used is reduced, fewer parts, a simpler structure, and low overall cost.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the utility model, it also includes a base plate and two flat powder mounting brackets, the two flat powder mounting brackets are respectively connected to the two ends of the base plate, the slide rail is connected to the two sides of the base plate, the printing substrate is located in the mounting hole of the base plate, the flat powder component is connected to the top end of the flat powder mounting bracket, and the flat powder component is located above the slide rail.

The two powder spreading components are respectively located on both sides of the laser printing component, and when the slide moves, the powder spreading component located on the side of the slide moving direction spreads the powder on the printing substrate during movement, and the laser printing component melts the spread powder during movement, and the powder spreading and printing can be achieved simultaneously during the back and forth movement of the sliding component, so as to achieve two-way printing and further improve the printing efficiency.

[0012] As a preferred solution of the utility model, the powder spreading component further includes a scraper, and the scraper is connected to a side of the bottom of the powder box close to the laser printing component.

[0013] In this way, by connecting the scraper to the side of the bottom of the powder box close to the laser printing component, the powder falling from the powder outlet can be scraped flat by the scraper. Since the powder is spread flat during movement, the powder is basically spread evenly, and the scraper only needs to scrape flat a small amount of powder. Therefore, the scraper encounters little resistance when scraping powder and has a long service life.

[0014] As a preferred solution of the utility model, the powder spreading component also includes a recovery hole and a recovery box, the recovery box is connected to a side of the powder box close to the powder falling hole, and a plurality of recovery holes are formed on the side wall where the powder box and the recovery box are connected.

In addition, by setting the wind field component, it is convenient for the wind flow to enter through the wind field component and take out pollutants such as smoke and black fog generated when the molten powder is melted, so as to prevent the smoke and black fog from covering the optical path component and affecting the printing effect and quality.

[0019] In this way, the powder inlet pipe is connected to the top of the box body, so that the powder in the powder storage tank can enter the box body through the powder inlet pipe, and the entered powder is distributed along the length direction of the box body through the chain plate member, and a powder outlet portion extending along the length direction is formed at the bottom of the box body, so that the distributed powder can enter the powder box along the powder inlet of the powder box, so that the powder is distributed along the length direction of the powder box, ensuring that the powder can pass through the entire inner cavity of the powder outlet of the powder box, thereby ensuring the width of the powder when spreading the powder, avoiding powder accumulation on the printing substrate, and reducing the scraper resistance.

[0020] As a preferred solution of the utility model, it also includes a speed reduction mechanism and a rack, wherein the speed reduction mechanism is connected to the sliding member, the rack is connected to one side of the slide rail, and the output gear of the speed reduction mechanism is meshed with the rack.
