[0002] During the operation of 3D printing equipment, it is usually necessary to extrude various raw materials into shape through the nozzle. During this process, due to the internal pressure of the nozzle, when the extrusion stops, the nozzle will still have raw materials overflowing, causing wire drawing and accumulation of materials on the printed embryo, affecting the appearance of the printed sample. At the same time, raw materials will accumulate at the nozzle, affecting the thickness and speed of the output material.

[0003] A Chinese patent with patent number CN219405450U discloses a 3D printing extrusion nozzle, which can timely suck and separate the raw materials in the inner cavity of the nozzle by using a negative pressure tank suction method to avoid overflow from the discharge nozzle, causing raw material drawing or accumulation, and affecting the printing quality.

[0004] However, although the raw materials in the nozzle can be sucked away to a certain extent by suction alone, the raw materials attached to the inner wall of the nozzle are difficult to be sucked away, especially the raw materials on the inner bottom wall, which easily leads to the situation that the raw materials remain in the cavity, thereby affecting the discharge of the raw materials in the next printing. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The utility model is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods:

[0022] Reference Figure 1-3 A high-precision nozzle for 3D printing includes a nozzle barrel 1, a mounting plate 7, a guide rod 8, a blowing assembly and a heating block 20.

[0023] A mounting hole 2 is provided on the nozzle barrel 1, and a nozzle 3 is installed in the mounting hole 2. The nozzle 3 is installed in a detachable manner, and the nozzle 3 can be conveniently disassembled, replaced, and cleaned. A threaded tube 5 is inlaid on the nozzle barrel 1, and a cleaning block 10 is arranged in the nozzle barrel 1. The bottom end of the cleaning block 10 matches the inner bottom wall of the nozzle barrel 1 to ensure the cleaning effect of the nozzle barrel 1 after the cleaning block 10 is lowered.

[0024] The mounting plate 7 is arranged above the nozzle barrel 1, and a bidirectional motor 6 is mounted on the mounting plate 7. A screw rod 16 is mounted on the output shaft of the bidirectional motor 6, and the bottom end of the screw rod 16 passes through the threaded tube 5 and is fixedly connected to the cleaning block 10. The screw rod 16 is threadedly connected to the threaded tube 5. When the output shaft of the bidirectional motor 6 drives the screw rod 16 to rotate, the threaded tube 5 can be used to lift and move the bidirectional motor 6, thereby causing the screw rod 16 to drive the cleaning block 10 to lift and rotate.

[0025] The guide rod 8 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 7, the bottom end of the guide rod 8 is fixedly connected to the nozzle barrel 1, and a limit plate 9 is fixedly connected to the guide rod 8, and the limit plate 9 is located above the mounting plate 7. The guide rod 8 is used to guide the movement of the mounting plate 7 to improve the stability of the movement of the mounting plate 7, and the limit plate 9 can limit the rising position of the mounting plate 7.

[0026] The blowing assembly is arranged on the nozzle barrel 1, and is used to move the mounting plate 7 downward to blow air to clean the nozzle barrel 1. The blowing assembly includes an air cylinder 11 fixedly connected to the nozzle barrel 1, and a through hole 12 is opened on the air cylinder 11. A linkage rod 13 is arranged in the through hole 12. One end of the linkage rod 13 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 7, and the other end of the linkage rod 13 is fixedly connected to a piston 14, and a rubber bowl 15 is installed on the piston 14.

[0027] When the mounting plate 7 drives the piston 14 on the linkage rod 13 and the rubber bowl 15 to move upward in the air cylinder 11, external air can enter to the bottom of the rubber bowl 15 through the perforation 12 and the gap between the rubber bowl 15 and the air cylinder 11. When the mounting plate 7 drives the piston 14 on the linkage rod 13 and the rubber bowl 15 to move downward in the air cylinder 11, the rubber bowl 15 can pressurize the air below it.

[0028] An air pipe 17 is fixedly connected to the air cylinder 11, and one end of the air pipe 17 away from the air cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to the nozzle cylinder 1. A one-way valve 18 is installed on the air pipe 17. The air pipe 17 is used to transport the pressurized air on the air cylinder 11 to the nozzle cylinder 1, and the inner wall of the nozzle cylinder 1 is cleaned by blowing.

[0029] A connecting hole 22 is provided on the heating block 20, and a throat 21 and a connecting pipe 19 are installed in the connecting hole 22. A connecting seat 4 is fixedly connected to the nozzle barrel 1, and one end of the connecting seat 4 away from the nozzle barrel 1 is installed on the connecting pipe 19. The connecting hole 22 is used to transport the raw material through the throat 21 to the connecting pipe 19, and the heating block 20 can heat the raw material entering the connecting pipe 19 through the heating rod.

[0030] Working principle: when the connecting tube 19 stops discharging, the nozzle barrel 1 is moved to the discharging position, and then the bidirectional motor 6 is started so that the output shaft of the bidirectional motor 6 drives the screw 16 to rotate. Under the action of the threaded tube 5, the screw 16 can drive the cleaning block 10 to rotate and move downward. Subsequently, the bidirectional motor 6 will drive the mounting plate 7 to move downward on the guide rod 8. Then, the cleaning block 10 scrapes and cleans the inner wall of the nozzle barrel 1 and pushes the cleaned raw materials to the nozzle pipe 3. At the same time, the mounting plate 7 will drive the piston 14 and the rubber bowl 15 on the linkage rod 13 to move downward, so that the rubber bowl 15 can pressurize the air below it, and transport the pressurized air on the air cylinder 11 to the nozzle barrel 1 through the air pipe 17, and clean the inner wall of the nozzle barrel 1 by blowing. Finally, the waste material will be discharged from the nozzle barrel 1 through the nozzle pipe 3.
