Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of 3D printing equipment, and particularly relates to a filling machine used for 3D printing. Background Art

[0002] Before 3D printing, the 3D printing raw materials need to be weighed and canned through a filling machine, and then the ingredients are mixed.

[0003] The existing utility model patent application number 202220141906 discloses a photosensitive resin metering and filling machine, which can measure and weigh the filling amount of photosensitive resin with a metering cylinder. However, directly passing the photosensitive resin into the filling bottle through the feed valve at the bottom can easily cause the photosensitive resin to splash out, causing the photosensitive resin to solidify on the transmission mechanism or other positions of the filling machine, which can easily cause the machine to malfunction. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the present utility model is to solve the problem of raw materials easily splashing out when the current filling machine is canning as described in the above background technology. A new filling machine for 3D printing is proposed, which can prevent raw materials from splashing out.

[0005] The technical solution adopted to achieve the above-mentioned purpose is a filling machine for 3D printing, which includes:

[0006] A base, wherein a bracket is provided on the base;

[0007] A conveyor belt, wherein the conveyor belt is installed on the base;

[0008] A mixing unit, wherein the mixing unit is fixedly connected to the bracket;

[0009] The filling unit includes an installation box, an inner liquid injection tube, an outer liquid injection tube, a first motor, a driving gear, a first driven gear, a second driven gear, a third driven gear, a fourth driven gear, a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod. The installation box is connected to the mixing unit. The first motor is fixed inside the installation box. The output end of the first motor is fixedly connected to the driving gear. The first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are rotatably connected to the installation box. The first driven gear and the third driven gear are fixedly connected to the first connecting rod. The second driven gear and the fourth driven gear are fixedly connected to the second connecting rod. The driving gear is meshed with the first driven gear and the second driven gear. A first rack and a second rack are provided on the outside of the outer injection tube. The first rack is meshed with the third driven gear, and the second rack is meshed with the fourth driven gear. The outer liquid injection tube is partially sleeved on the outside of the inner liquid injection tube.

[0010] In the above technical solution, the filling bottles are transported by a conveyor belt, the raw materials are continuously stirred by a mixing unit and transported to the filling unit, and the raw materials are input into the filling bottles by the filling unit. The first motor can drive the driving gear to rotate, thereby linking other driven gears to control the up and down movement of the external liquid injection tube, and the external liquid injection tube is brought close to the filling bottle mouth or extended into it to prevent the raw materials from splashing out.

[0011] Furthermore, the mixing unit includes a mixing barrel, a second motor, a rotating rod and several stirring rods. The second motor is fixed to the top of the mixing barrel, the output end of the second motor passes through the top wall of the mixing barrel and is fixedly connected to the rotating rod, and the several stirring rods are fixedly connected to the peripheral side of the rotating rod.

[0012] Furthermore, a discharge port is provided at the bottom of the mixing cylinder, and an electric control valve is provided at the discharge port.

[0013] In the above technical solution, whether or not to add the raw materials and the amount of addition are controlled by an electric control valve.

[0014] Furthermore, the inner liquid injection tube is connected to the electric control valve.

[0015] Furthermore, the outer wall of the inner liquid injection tube is in contact with the inner wall of the outer liquid injection tube.

[0016] Furthermore, a scraper ring is provided at the bottom end of the inner liquid injection tube.

[0017] In the above technical solution, since the outer injection tube moves relative to the inner injection tube, it is easy for the raw materials to adhere to the inner wall of the outer injection tube. The scraper ring scrapes the raw materials off to prevent the raw materials from accumulating and clogging.

[0018] Furthermore, the filling unit also includes a flow guide cover, which is detachably connected to the bottom end of the external liquid injection tube.

[0019] In the above technical solution, a flow guide cover can be installed so that the flow guide cover contacts the filling bottle mouth to prevent the raw materials from splashing out.

[0020] Furthermore, the conveyor belt is provided with a magnetic positioning sticker.

[0021] In the above technical solution, the magnetic positioning sticker having magnetic force can cooperate with the corresponding filling bottle to fix and position the filling bottle.

[0022] Furthermore, the magnetic positioning stickers are evenly spaced.

[0023] Furthermore, the third driven gear and the fourth driven gear are half gears.

[0024] In the above technical solution, when the third driven gear contacts the first rack, the fourth driven gear does not contact the second rack, and vice versa, thereby realizing the up and down reciprocating motion of the external liquid injection tube.

[0025] The advantages of the present invention are:

[0026] 1. The utility model controls the up and down reciprocating motion of the external injection tube through the filling unit. When the injection material enters the filling bottle, the external injection tube can be close to or extended into the bottle mouth to prevent the material from splashing out.

[0027] 2. The utility model can fix the filling bottle by means of the magnetic positioning sticker, and can position the filling bottle by means of the interval position of the magnetic positioning sticker, thereby realizing fully automatic filling. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
