Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of powder dropping devices, specifically relating to a powder dropping device based on controlling the rotational speed and gap of the rollers. Background Technology
[0002] The existing powder spreading devices mainly include the following types:
[0003] Downward-pushing powder: The powder hopper and the printing hopper are placed side by side. The powder hopper is lifted up, and then a scraper or roller is used to push the powder in the upper part of the powder hopper to the upper surface of the printing hopper. This structure has high requirements for the type and physical properties of the powder and has high limitations.
[0004] Toner dispensing: The powder hopper is positioned above the printing chamber, and toner is dispensed via ultrasonic or linear vibration devices. Different powders require different screen sizes and vibration frequencies need to be adjusted. The screen condition must be monitored regularly, and clogged screens should be replaced or cleaned promptly. Simultaneously, during printing, as the powder in the hopper decreases and the vibration device affects the process, uncontrollable toner dispensing and segregation can easily occur. Ultimately, this leads to uneven powder bed density, affecting the quality of the finished product. Utility Model Content

Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature.
[0029] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-5 The powder-discharging device shown includes a control roller speed and gap.
[0030] Mounting bracket 2 is a sheet metal part configured as a mounting carrier. It has a slot on it, into which two vertical structural components are placed. These structural components are box-shaped structures with openings at the top and bottom. Figure 5 As shown, the two ends of the structural component are bolted to the mounting bracket 2, and there are openings at the top and bottom. The hopper 1 is fixed to the structural component by bolts, and the V-shaped discharge port of the hopper 1 is located at the upper opening. The two discharge plates 13 are also bolted to the structural component and are installed symmetrically to form a V-shaped discharge port, which is located at the lower opening. The discharge roller 11 is mounted to the structural component by bearings. Three discharge grooves 12 are equidistantly opened on the discharge roller 11 along the axial direction, and the uppermost discharge groove 12 is located at the discharge port of the hopper 1.
[0031] The fixed roller 5 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 2 via bearings.
[0032] The moving roller 4 is mounted on the mounting frame 2 via a sliding assembly. It is configured such that the discharge port is located between the moving roller 4 and the fixed roller 5. The sliding assembly drives the moving roller 4 away from / closer to the fixed roller 5, thereby adjusting the distance between the moving roller 4 and the fixed roller 5. One end of the fixed roller 5 and the discharge roller 11 is equipped with a driven wheel 10. The motor drives the two driven wheels 10 via a belt, thereby driving the fixed roller 5 and the discharge roller 11 to rotate.
[0033] The light roller 6 is mounted on the mounting frame 2, and one end is connected to the motor, which drives it to rotate.
[0034] The moving roller 4 is connected to the motor, which drives it to rotate.
[0035] The sliding assembly includes a movable plate 7, a slider 8, and a slide rail 9. The slide rail 9 is fixed to the mounting bracket 2 by bolts. The slider 8 is limited on the slide rail 9 and slides along the slide rail 9. The movable plate 7 is fixed to the slider 8 by bolts. The movable roller 4 is rotatably mounted on the movable plate 7 through a bearing.
[0036] It also includes an adjustment component 3, configured to drive the sliding component to move, including a rotating block 31, a fixed block 32 and a top block 33. The fixed block 32 is fixed to the mounting bracket 2 by bolts and has a hole with threads on the inner wall of the hole. The outer surface of the rotating block 31 has threads and is rotatably connected to the fixed block 32 by the threads. One end of the top block 33 is fixed to the rotating block 31 and the other end is fixed to the movable plate 7.
[0037] During use, the powder-feeding device, which controls the rotation speed and gap of the rollers, involves adding powder into the hopper 1. Under normal conditions, the powder flows into the discharge trough 12 on the discharge roller 11. As the discharge roller 11 rotates, the powder in the discharge trough 12 falls down and reaches above the moving roller 4 and the fixed roller 5. The moving roller 4 and the fixed roller 5 rotate, and the powder discharged by the discharge roller 11 passes through the gap between the moving roller 4 and the fixed roller 5, completing the powder-feeding action. Finally, the powder-feeding device moves horizontally, while the smooth roller 6 rotates to flatten the fallen powder, completing the entire powder-spreading action. When it is necessary to adjust the size of the gap between the moving roller 4 and the fixed roller 5, the rotating block 31 is rotated to drive the movable plate 7 to move along the slide rail 9. Since the moving roller 4 is mounted on the movable plate 7, the moving roller 4 is moved, thereby adjusting the distance between the moving roller 4 and the fixed roller 5.
[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
