[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] See also Figures 1 to 4The utility model provides a technical solution: a 3D printing nozzle feeding device, including a shell 1, a first guide tube 2 is slidably connected to the top of the shell 1, a second guide tube 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the shell 1, two movable plates 4 are slidably connected to the inner wall of one side of the shell 1, the outer side of the first guide tube 2 is fixedly connected to two support plates 12, the top of the support plate 12 is rotatably connected to the second connecting rod 13, the two second connecting rods 13 are rotatably connected to the two movable plates 4 at one end away from the support plate 12, and the side of the movable plate 4 is rotatably connected to the feeding shaft 5, one of the tops of the movable plates 4 is fixedly connected to the motor 14, the outer side of the first guide tube 2 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 17, the top of the shell 1 is fixedly connected to the positioning plate 19, the interior of the positioning plate 19 is slidably connected to the sliding rod 20, the interior of the limiting block 17 is provided with a plurality of limiting grooves 18, and one end of the sliding rod 20 is fixed A limit frame 21 is fixedly connected to the limit groove 18, and a cam 22 is rotatably connected to the top of the limit frame 21. A knob 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the cam 22. Through the arrangement of the first guide tube 2, the second guide tube 3, the movable plate 4, the support plate 12, the second connecting rod 13, the cam 22, the knob 23, the slide bar 20, the positioning plate 19, the limit frame 21, the limit block 17 and the limit groove 18, the device only needs to rotate the knob 23 when conveying the wire, and then press the first guide tube 2 to make the first guide tube 2 and the second guide tube 3 dock, so that the wire can enter the inside of the hose and be conveyed. This effectively solves the problem that when the feeding mechanism of most 3D printers clamps the material, due to the soft wire, the user is more time-consuming and difficult to operate to pass the wire through the feeding mechanism so that the wire enters the inside of the hose and then enters the nozzle for printing.

[0030] When in use, press the first guide tube 2 to dock the first guide tube 2 and the second guide tube 3. When the first guide tube 2 moves, the second connecting rod 13 pushes the movable plate 4 to move, thereby increasing the distance between the two feeding shafts 5. Then the wire can be passed through the first guide tube 2 and the second guide tube 3 into the interior of the hose, and then the first guide tube 2 is pulled out to make the feeding shaft 5 contact with the wire, and then the knob 23 is rotated to rotate the cam 22. After the cam 22 rotates, it contacts the positioning plate 19 and pushes the limit frame 21 to move. After moving, the limit frame 21 enters the interior of the limit groove 18 to limit the first guide tube 2. This effectively solves the problem that when the feeding mechanism of most 3D printers clamps the material, due to the soft wire, it takes a lot of time and is difficult for the user to pass the wire through the feeding mechanism so that the wire enters the interior of the hose and then enters the nozzle for printing.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] See also Figures 5 and 6The utility model provides a technical solution: a 3D printing nozzle feeding device, a support rod 7 is fixedly connected between the inner walls of both sides of the shell 1, and a moving block 8 is slidably connected to the outer side of the support rod 7. The side of the moving block 8 is fixedly connected to a fixed plate 9, and both ends of the fixed plate 9 are rotatably connected to the second gear 10. The end of the feeding shaft 5 away from the moving plate 4 is rotatably connected to the first gear 6, and the two second gears 10 are meshed with each other. The two second gears 10 are respectively meshed with the two first gears 6. The top of the first gear 6 is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 11, and the ends of the two first connecting rods 11 away from the first gear 6 are respectively rotatably connected to the two second gears 10. The output of the motor 14 The output shaft and the top of one of the first gears 6 are fixedly connected with a synchronous pulley 15, and a transmission belt 16 is connected between the two synchronous pulleys 15. Through the arrangement of the support rod 7, the moving block 8, the fixed plate 9, the first gear 6, the second gear 10, the first connecting rod 11, the moving plate 4 and the second connecting rod 13, the device can adjust the size of the parts between the feeding mechanism only when the wire is put in when adjusting the feeding according to the size of the wire. It effectively solves the problem that when conveying wires of different thicknesses, it takes a lot of time to adjust the position between the internal parts of the feeding mechanism so that it can contact and convey wires of different thicknesses.

[0033] During use, when the first guide tube 2 is raised, the rising amplitude of the first guide tube 2 is adjusted according to the size of the wire. When the first guide tube 2 is raised, the movable plate 4 can be pulled to move by the second connecting rod 13, so that the feeding shaft 5 contacts the wire. After the wire contact is completed, the first guide tube 2 can be fixed. When the feeding shaft 5 moves, the distance between the two first gears 6 changes, and the first connecting rod 11 pushes the two second gears 10 to move, so that the fixed plate 9 drives the movable block 8 to move. At this time, due to the fixed plate 9, the two second gears 10 are always engaged with each other. Therefore, when the distance between the two feeding shafts 5 is different, the two first gears 6 always rotate in opposite directions through the second gear 10, thereby conveying the wire. After that, the first gear 6 can drive the feeding shaft 5 to rotate through the motor 14 and the synchronous pulley 15, which effectively solves the problem that it takes a lot of time to adjust the position between the internal parts of the feeding mechanism when conveying wires of different thicknesses in order to contact and convey them.

[0034] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
