[0031] The present application will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present application and implement it. The embodiments are not intended to limit the present application.

[0032] Referring to Figures 1-3 The embodiment of the present application provides a device for flushing the inner channel of the pipe wall of a 3D printed part, comprising:

[0033] The round ring clamping piece 100 is formed by butt joint of two half round rings 110; the two sides of the half round ring 110 are provided with sealing grooves 120; the round ring clamping piece 100 is made of 304 stainless steel material.

[0034] Two sealing pieces 200 are respectively installed in the sealing grooves 120; the sealing piece 200 is an O-ring. In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the sealing piece 200 is 5-10mm smaller than the outer diameter of the 3D printed part 300, so that the sealing piece 200 can be tightly fixed on the 3D printed part 300 and will not be loose.

[0035] The joint 400 is arranged on the round ring clamping piece 100, and the joint 400 penetrates the wall thickness of the round ring clamping piece 100;

[0036] The half round ring 110 is sleeved on the outer wall of the 3D printed part 300, and the two half round rings 110 are detachably connected; the inner wall of the half round ring 110 and the outer wall of the 3D printed part 300 form a closed channel 500 through the sealing piece 200; the joint 400, the closed channel 500 and the inner channel 310 of the pipe wall of the 3D printed part 300 are communicated.

[0037] Specifically, two half-rings 110 are sleeved on the 3D printed part 300, and then the two half-rings 110 are fixed, so that the inner wall of the half-ring 110 sleeve and the outer wall of the 3D printed part 300 form a sealed channel 500 through the sealing member 200. In this way, after the joint 400 is connected to the high-pressure water flow device, the high-pressure water flow enters the channel from the joint 400 and the sealed channel 500, and supplies high-pressure water flow to the pipe wall inner channel 310 of the 3D printed part 300, so as to be able to flush the pipe wall inner channel 310, so that the excess in the pipe wall inner channel 310 flows out with the water flow. Due to the arrangement of the sealed channel 500, the pressure of the flushing process can be ensured, and the flushing effect and efficiency are further improved.

[0038] Further, the outer wall of the two ends of the half-ring 110 is provided with a connecting portion 130, and the connecting hole is arranged on the connecting portion 130; the connecting holes of the two half-rings 110 are detachably connected through the bolt 140. Specifically, the present embodiment facilitates the quick installation and disassembly of the ring clamping member 100 and the 3D printed part 300, and improves the flushing efficiency.

[0039] Further, the two half-rings 110 are connected, the end surfaces of the two half-rings 110 are in contact, and the connecting portions 130 of the two half-rings 110 have a gap 150. In some embodiments, the gap 150 is 0.8mm. For example, 0.4mm is milled on the end surface where the two connecting portions 130 are connected to each other. In this way, when the end surfaces of the two half-rings 110 are in contact to realize the connection, the connecting portions 130 of the two half-rings 110 have a predetermined gap 150. Thus, on the one hand, it can ensure that the two half-rings 110 are in close contact to form a sealed channel 500, and on the other hand, it can prevent repeated tightening from deforming the ring clamping member 100, resulting in inconsistent diameters of the ring clamping member 100.

[0040] Further, the joint 400 is a plurality of joints, and the plurality of joints 400 are arranged on the ring clamping member 100 at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. In some embodiments, one pipe wall inner channel 310 corresponds to one joint 400, and the joint 400 is arranged close to the pipe wall inner channel 310. Specifically, because the pipe wall inner channel 310 of the 3D printed part 300 is a plurality of pipe wall inner channels 310, the plurality of pipe wall inner channels 310 are uniformly distributed. Therefore, the present embodiment adaptively arranges a plurality of joints 400, so as to be able to more evenly and quickly flush water into the pipe wall inner channel 310 (avoiding that the high-pressure water flow flows in the sealed channel 500 and then enters the pipe wall inner channel 310), thereby ensuring the pressure of the flushing, and improving the flushing effect and efficiency.

[0041] Further, the application also comprises a sewage collector (not shown in the figure); the inlet 311 of the pipe wall channel 310 is communicated with the closed channel 500, and the outlet 312 of the pipe wall channel 310 is communicated with the sewage collector. Specifically, in the flushing process, the sewage mixed with metal powder is uniformly flowed into the sewage collector for centralized collection and centralized treatment.

[0042] Further, the outlet 312 of the pipe wall channel 310 is wrapped with a white cloth (not shown in the figure). Specifically, the white cloth is arranged at the outlet 312 of the pipe wall channel 310, so that the flushing quality can be checked through the white cloth (if there is residual metal powder on the white cloth, it is considered that the flushing is not clean; if there is no powder residue on the white cloth, it is considered that the flushing is clean).

[0043] Further, the two sides of the semi-circular ring 110 are provided with limiting edges 111 extending to the inside and protruding from the inner wall thereof, and the side wall of the 3D printed part 300 is arranged at the limiting edge 111. Specifically, the limiting edge 111 of the embodiment can limit the 3D printed part 300, so as to avoid the displacement of the 3D printed part 300 in the axial direction in the circular ring clamping piece 100 during the flushing process, thereby further ensuring the efficiency and effect of the flushing. In some embodiments, the limiting edge 111 protrudes 2mm from the inner wall of the semi-circular ring 110.

[0044] Further, the two sides of the circular ring clamping piece 100 are respectively provided with a plurality of profiled grooves 112, and the plurality of profiled grooves 112 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the circular ring clamping piece 100. In some embodiments, the profiled groove 112 is arranged on the limiting edge. Specifically, some components of the 3D printed part 300 are clamped in the profiled groove 112, which can limit the 3D printed part 300, so as to avoid the movement of the 3D printed part 300 relative to the circular ring clamping piece 100 in the circumferential direction during the flushing process; on the other hand, the 3D printed part 300 can be avoided.

[0045] Further, the edges in contact with the 3D printed part 300 in the circular ring clamping piece 100 are all chamfered. Specifically, the chamfering processing method is adopted in the embodiment, which can avoid the bruising of the 3D printed part 300.

[0046] The process of flushing the 3D printed part 300 by using the present application is as follows: first, put two sealing members 200 on the appropriate position of the 3D printed part 300 (ensure that the sealing member 200 completely enters the sealing groove 120), then install two half-rings 110 on the 3D printed part 300, and fix the two half-rings 110 by using the bolts 140, so as to form a closed channel 500 (make the joint of the two half-rings completely fit to achieve the sealing effect. If water leaks at the joint position of the two half-rings 110, prepare two rubber pads to plug into the joint position of the two half-rings 110). Then connect the high-pressure water flow with the connector 400, and then the high-pressure water flow enters the pipe wall inner channel 310, and by continuously adjusting the pressure to control the different water flow, so as to better carry out the excess (set different pressures and times to repeatedly flush). Judge whether the flushing is qualified by the white cloth at the outlet 312 of the 3D printed part 300. After the flushing is completed, the device is disassembled with the 3D printed part 300, the water in the pipe wall inner channel 310 is blown dry by using clean compressed air, then the part is placed in the oven for drying, to prevent rust. The present application can meet the needs of removing the excess in the channel of the 3D printed part 300.

[0047] Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples for clearly illustrating, and are not limited to the embodiments. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or variations can be made on the basis of the above description. Here, all the embodiments are not required to be exhausted, and the obvious changes or variations derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present application.
