Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of 3D printing, and more specifically to a fog guiding shell. Background Technology

[0002] Existing 3D printers for biomaterials (photopolymerization) typically fill the placement shell with printing material, resulting in significant material waste after printing. To address this limitation, our company employs a small-droplet printing method, where the placement shell is not completely filled with material; only a small amount is added to the center of the shell to meet printing requirements. However, in practical applications, heating the placement shell necessitates maintaining the humidity of the printing material at its center. Therefore, this invention was designed. Consequently, there is a need for a convenient, well-designed, and simple mist-guiding shell that ensures consistent printing material humidity. Summary of the Invention

The bottoms of the two housing assemblies are placed inside the placement shell and spaced a predetermined distance apart. The housing assemblies are configured to allow the addition of liquid. Each housing assembly includes a first housing, the top of which has a second cavity with an opening. External liquid is placed in the second cavity. The cover plate is disposed on the top of the two first housings to close the second cavity. The housing assemblies are configured to allow the addition of liquid, meaning that when the heating platform of an external 3D printer is operating, the liquid inside the housing assembly evaporates due to heat. The evaporated water vapor is guided to small droplets of printing material located at the center of the placement shell, thereby ensuring the humidity of the printing material.

[0005] Another objective of this application is to provide a mist guide housing, wherein the mist guide housing has a simple structure, is easy to operate, does not involve complex manufacturing processes and expensive materials, has high economic efficiency, and is easy to promote and use.

[0026] Schematic fog guide housing

[0027] refer to Figures 1 to 4 According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the structure of the mist guide housing is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it is placed on the heating platform of an external 3D printer. It is specifically used in the field of biomaterial printing and in the case of small droplets, in order to maintain the humidity of the printing material. This utility model was designed accordingly.

[0028] Specifically, the mist guiding housing includes two housing assemblies 10, which are disposed on the heating platform of an external 3D printer, wherein printing material is dripped onto... Figure 1 The heating platform of the external 3D printer is shown in the center of the placement shell 200. Specifically, the placement shell 200 has a first cavity 2001 with an opening. The bottoms of the two shell assemblies 10 are placed inside the placement shell 200 and spaced apart by a predetermined distance. It should also be noted that the shell assembly 10 is designed to allow the addition of liquid. When the heating platform of the external 3D printer is operating, the liquid inside the shell assembly 10 evaporates due to heat. The evaporated water vapor is directed to small droplets of printing material located at the center of the placement shell 200, thereby ensuring the humidity of the printing material and thus ensuring the printing effect.

[0029] Specifically, each of the housing components 10 includes a first housing 11, the top of which has a second cavity 1101 with an opening, wherein external liquid is placed within the second cavity 1101. It is worth noting that one side of the first housing 11 is an arc surface 111, and the other side is a straight surface 112. That is, the arc surface 111 of the first housing 11 contacts the sidewall forming the first cavity 2001, thereby facilitating the placement of the first housing 11, while the straight surface 112 of the first housing 11 faces the center of the placement shell 200.

[0030] Furthermore, the second cavity 1101 has a notch 1102 on the side facing the straight surface 112. The two sides of the notch 1102 are connected to the second cavity 1101 and the first cavity 2001 respectively, that is, the vaporized water vapor is discharged from the notch 1102.

[0031] Furthermore, the straight surface 112 of the first housing 11 also has two protrusions 113, which are arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart by a predetermined distance. The height of the protrusions 113 is the same as the height of the first housing 11, and the first housing 11 and the two protrusions 113 are integrally formed.

[0032] Furthermore, the housing assembly 10 also includes a partition 12, one side of which contacts the two protrusions 113, and the bottom of which contacts the bottom wall forming the first cavity 2001. It is worth noting that the partition 12 is spaced a predetermined distance from the straight surface 112 of the first housing 11. Additionally, the partition 12 has multiple evenly distributed through slots 1201, all of which penetrate the partition 12. Specifically, moisture passing through the notch 1102 is guided to the through slots 1201 and then to the printing material placed at the center of the placement shell 200. It should be noted that the partition 12 and the two protrusions 113 can be connected by adhesive bonding.

[0033] It should also be noted that the length of the partition 12 is greater than the length of the first housing 11, that is, the two ends of the partition 12 are located on the side where the two protrusions 113 are opposite to each other, and the mist guide housing also includes a cover plate 20, which is disposed on the top of the two first housings 11 to close the second cavity 1101 of the two first housings 11.

[0034] Specifically, the bottom of the cover plate 20 has two oppositely arranged first connecting portions 21 and two oppositely arranged second connecting portions 22. Each of the two first connecting portions 21 has a first insertion groove 2101, and each of the two second connecting portions 22 has a second insertion groove 2201. Each of the two first insertion grooves 2101 cooperates with the two sides of the top of one of the partition plates 12, and each of the two second insertion grooves 2201 cooperates with the two sides of the top of the other partition plate 12, thereby defining the position of the cover plate 20.

[0035] Furthermore, the cover plate 20 also has a third insertion groove 201, which extends through the cover plate 20 and is rectangular. The third insertion groove 201 is located before the two first connecting portions 21 and the two second connecting portions 22. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the print head of the external 3D printer passes through the third insertion groove 201 and is directly opposite the material located at the center of the first cavity 2001.

[0036] Additionally, it should be noted that the outer wall of the cover plate 20 also has two opposing positioning grooves 202. The positioning grooves 202 are located on both sides of the third insertion groove 201, and the positioning grooves 202 are also located between the two partition plates 12. Specifically, the heating platform of the external 3D printer also includes two positioning devices. The two positioning devices are configured to cooperate with the two positioning grooves 202 respectively, thereby further defining the position of the cover plate 20.

[0037] In summary, the fog guiding housing described in the embodiments of this application is explained, which provides advantages such as ease of use, ability to ensure the humidity of printing materials, reasonable layout, and simple structure.
