Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of 3D printer technology, and specifically to a 3D printer with a consumables guiding function. Background Technology

[0002] A 3D printer is a device that can create three-dimensional solid objects by stacking materials layer by layer based on three-dimensional model data. It integrates technologies from disciplines such as mechanics, electronics, materials, and computers, and is widely used in many fields. During printing, printing materials are fed to the print head, which heats and melts them, and then ejects them through nozzles to form the shape.

[0003] According to the search, for example, a 3D printer with a filament guiding function is proposed in the announcement number CN222116063U. The printer winds the printing filament onto a filament tray, and connects the other end to the print head through rollers on the frame. The frame can move back and forth and be adjusted, and the filament tray moves left and right on the drive screw, so that the printing filament and the print head can move synchronously.

[0004] However, since one end of the printing filament is inclined upwards through the frame and then vertically into the print head, if the frame moves closer to the filament tray, the printing filament is prone to loosening instead of tightening. As a result, the printing filament is prone to knotting or piling up during the process of moving to the print head, which leads to poor subsequent printing results. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention proposes a 3D printer with a filament guiding function, which solves the problem in the prior art where the printing filament is loose and not tight when the frame moves close to the filament tray, which easily causes the printing filament to tangle or pile up when moving the printing filament.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

The translational assembly is disposed on the moving frame. The filament feeding assembly is disposed on the translational assembly and is used to feed printing filament into the print head. The translational assembly is used to drive the filament feeding assembly to move. The filament feeding assembly is located directly above the print head. The lifting assembly is disposed on the moving frame and is used to drive the print head to move up and down. The mounting plate is disposed on the lifting assembly and the print head is mounted on the mounting plate.

[0013] The working principle and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. In this utility model, during printing, the print head can be moved back and forth and up and down by the guide component and the lifting component, and the printing consumables can be transported into the print head by the material feeding component. By the translation component, the consumable tray can be moved when the printing consumables leave the consumable tray, so that the printing consumables fall vertically above the print head to avoid accumulation.

[0015] 2. In this utility model, if the printing consumables accumulate, the printing consumables can be clamped by the material feeding assembly, then wound in the reverse direction to straighten them, and then continued to be fed into the print head;

Furthermore, it can straighten the printing consumables when they are loose, thereby preventing them from piling up and tangling during subsequent descent. Attached Figure Description

[0028] In this embodiment, reference Figure 3 The translation component includes a slide rail 201, a slider 202, a connecting plate 203, a drive screw 204, a second motor 205, and a connecting block 206.

There are two connecting plates 203, both of which are fixedly mounted on the side of the slide rail 201. The drive screw 204 is rotatably mounted between the two connecting plates 203.

The connecting block 206 is threadedly connected to the drive screw 204, and the side of the connecting block 206 is fixedly connected to the side of the slider 202.

[0029] In this embodiment, reference Figure 4 The feeding assembly includes a connecting rod 301, a fixing plate 302, a consumable tray 303, and a motor 304. There are two connecting rods 301, which are fixedly installed on both sides of the slider 202. There are two fixing plates 302, which are fixedly installed on the two connecting rods 301.

The motor 304 is installed on the side of the fixing plate 302, and the output end of the motor 304 is fixedly connected to the side of the consumable tray 303.

[0030] In this embodiment, reference Figure 4 The lifting assembly includes a support plate 401 and a cylinder 402. There are two support plates 401, both of which are fixedly installed on the side of the movable frame 3. There are two cylinders 402, which are respectively installed on the two support plates 401, and the mounting plate 4 is fixedly connected to the output end of the two cylinders 402.

[0031] In this embodiment, reference Figure 5The material feeding assembly includes a mounting rod 501, a stop block 502, a second cylinder 503, and a top block 504.

[0032] It should be added that the side of the stop 502 has a wire groove, and the vertically moving printing consumable slides down along the wire groove of the stop 502. The stop 502 and the top block 504 are at the same horizontal position, and the mounting plate 4 has a sliding groove, in which the top block 504 is slidably installed.

[0033] Working principle: When printing, the printer first winds the printing filament onto the filament tray 303, then passes one end through the slot in the mounting plate 4 and into the print head 2. The print head 2 is then activated, melting the printing filament and ejecting it onto the base plate 1 for printing. During printing, motor 104 is activated, its output driving the reciprocating screw 103 to rotate. This causes the moving frame 3 to move back and forth on the reciprocating screw 103 and the slide rod 102, thereby moving the print head 2 back and forth. Simultaneously, motor 304 is activated, its output driving the filament tray 303 to move between two fixed... The plates 302 rotate, thereby conveying the printing consumables downwards and continuously feeding them into the print head 2. During this conveying process, as the printing consumables wrapped around the consumable tray 303 gradually decrease and move downwards, the second motor 205 can be activated. The output end of the second motor 205 drives the drive screw to rotate between the two connecting plates 203, causing the connecting block 206 to move on the drive screw 204, thereby causing the slider 202 to move left and right on the slide rail 201, which in turn causes the connecting rod 301 and the consumable tray 303 to move, thus ensuring that the downward-moving printing consumables are always vertically positioned directly above the print head 2, preventing the printing consumables from becoming loose or knotted.

[0034] If the printing filament gets tangled during the downward movement, cylinder 2 503 can be activated. Cylinder 2 503 drives the top block 504 to approach the stop block 502, thereby fixing the two sides of the printing filament. Then, motor 304 is activated. The output end of motor 304 reverses, unwinding the loose or excess printing filament onto the filament tray 303 to tighten it, and then it is conveyed again.

[0035] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
