Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automation technology in the mechanical industry, and in particular to a processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] A cutting machine is a device that cuts with a blade. In addition to cutting, the blade can also be replaced with various types of pens to achieve the function of automatically writing on the surface of consumables. Currently, when processing equipment is working, the selected processing method is prone to mismatch with the device performing the processing method. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a processing device capable of identifying the device type of the connector.

[0004] This application provides a processing device, which includes:

[0005] Processing platform;

[0006] The connector is used to connect the cutter assembly or pen holder. The connector slides through the guide and is configured to move relative to the processing platform.

[0007] Magnets are provided on both the cutter assembly and the pen holder; the magnetism of the magnet in the cutter assembly is different from that of the magnet in the pen holder.

[0008] The sensor, located near the magnet, is used to detect whether there is a magnet on the connector to determine whether the connector is connected to a cutter assembly or pen holder.

[0009] In some feasible implementations, the magnets of the cutter assembly and the pen holder have different magnetic properties; the sensor is also used to determine whether the connector is connected to the cutter assembly or the pen holder by identifying the magnetism of the magnets.

[0010] In some feasible implementations, the position of the sensor and the connector is relatively fixed, and the die-cutting head or pen holder is movably connected to the connector. The sensor is used to detect the magnetic field strength of the magnet to determine the position of the cutter assembly or pen holder.

[0011] In some feasible implementations, the connector has a through hole through which the cutter assembly or pen holder passes, and a magnet is provided at one end of the cutter assembly or pen holder that extends into the connector.

[0012] In some feasible implementations, the connector also has a cavity, within which a floating seat is disposed that slides in contact with the inner wall of the cavity, and the floating seat is detachably connected to the cutter assembly or pen holder.

[0013] In some feasible implementations, an elastic element is provided inside the cavity; in the axial direction of the through hole, the floating seat is connected to the elastic element.

[0014] In some feasible implementations, the processing equipment also includes a motherboard, to which the sensors are electrically connected.

[0015] In some feasible implementations, both the cutter assembly and the pen holder are cylindrical.

[0016] In some feasible implementations, the magnet is ring-shaped and is fitted onto one end of the cutter assembly or pen holder.

[0017] In some feasible implementations, the processing equipment also includes a 3D printing head with sensors, which is detachably connected to a connector.

[0018] In this application, a connector connects to a cutter assembly or pen holder equipped with a magnet. A sensor is positioned near the connector to detect the magnetism of the magnet on the cutter assembly or pen holder connected to the connector, thus identifying whether the connector is connected to either the cutter assembly or the pen holder. For example, when the sensor detects that the magnet facing the sensor has a north pole (N pole), it is determined that the connector is connected to the cutter assembly; when the sensor detects that the magnet facing the sensor has a south pole (S pole), it is determined that the connector is connected to the pen holder; if the sensor does not detect a magnetic pole, the connector is not connected to either the cutter assembly or the pen holder. This application allows the cutter assembly and pen holder to be installed at the same location on the connector, and the sensor can simultaneously detect the magnet on both the cutter assembly and the pen holder connected to the connector, eliminating the need for other sensors and simplifying the mechanical structure.

The first support rib is connected to a first protrusion rib, and the second support rib is connected to a second protrusion rib. The connecting part includes a boss disposed on the surface of the second device body facing the first device, and the first support rib and the second support rib jointly support the boss.

[0031] In some feasible implementations, the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove are arranged along the depth direction of the first device, and both the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove extend along the height direction of the first device.

[0032] In some feasible implementations, an elastic element is connected between the second snap-fit ​​portion and the second device body portion. The locking element includes a fixing bolt and a cam wrench. The fixing bolt passes through the second snap-fit ​​portion and is fixedly connected to the second device body portion.

[0036] The positioning and alignment component includes the lower surface of the connector, which is aligned with the upper edge of the first cooling fan on the side away from the processing platform.

[0037] In some feasible implementations, the 3D printing head includes sensors, and the mount has magnets. The sensors are used to detect the presence or absence of the mount.

[0038] In some feasible implementations, the 3D printing head includes a magnetic cutting device for cutting the printing material;

[0039] The sensor is located near the cutting device and is also used to detect the position of the cutting device.

[0040] In some feasible implementations, the magnetism of the laser head and the magnet on the connector head are opposite.

[0041] In some feasible implementations, the first device is provided with a first socket and a second socket. The first socket is used to connect to a power supply or control module via a first cable; the second socket is used to connect to the second device via a second cable.

The emission direction of the line laser forms an angle with the optical axis of the second camera, and the optical axis of the second camera is parallel to the height direction of the laser head. A line laser head is set on one side of the laser head, emitting an oblique line laser. The focal point of the oblique line laser falls within the field of view of the second camera, which, in conjunction with the second camera, measures the height of the 3D printing head and the processing platform. The focal length of the line laser is at the same height as the focal point of the engraving laser, so that after the height measurement between the 3D printing head and the processing platform is completed, the engraving laser quickly moves to the desired engraving height without requiring the laser head to prepare again. This improves the working efficiency of the processing equipment and avoids repeated raising and lowering of the laser head or processing platform.

[0048] In some feasible implementations, the focal points of the line laser and the engraving laser are at the same height. "At the same height" means that the focal points of the line laser and the engraving laser are at the same height on the Z-axis.

Detailed Implementation

[0067] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0068] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a processing device, including a first component 100, a second component 200, a guide component 300, and a processing platform 400. In some feasible embodiments, the processing device is a gantry structure (e.g., Figure 1 As shown, the guide 300 is supported by two vertical columns along the Z-axis. The guide 300 can move up and down along the Z-axis, and the first device 100 can move along the guide 300 in the Y-axis direction and along the machining platform 400 in the X-axis direction. Optionally, the machining equipment can be a corexy structure, with the guide supported by a frame on the machining equipment. The first device can move along the guide in the XY plane under the drive of a belt. The machining platform is connected to a Z-axis lead screw to achieve movement in the Z-axis direction. For example, the guide can be at least one of a Y-axis linear guide, a carbon rod, and an X-axis optical axis. Optionally, the machining equipment can also be a cantilever structure, with the guide supported by one Z-axis column. The guide can move up and down along the Z-axis, and the first device can move along the guide in the Y-axis direction and along the machining platform in the X-axis direction.

[0069] It should be understood Figure 1 This is merely an illustration and does not limit the structural type of the processing equipment. In this application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixed," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixed" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly defined. "Connection" includes detachable and non-detachable connections. For example, a fixed connection can include detachable fixed connections and non-detachable fixed connections, a rotating connection can include detachable rotating connections and non-detachable rotating connections, and a sliding connection can include detachable sliding connections and non-detachable sliding connections. A connection can also be a direct connection or an indirect connection through a component. For example, a detachable fixed connection refers to a connection where the positional relationship between at least two connected objects can be fixed in the installed state; similar examples include rotating connections and sliding connections.

[0070] In some feasible embodiments, the processing platform 400 is used to support the guide member 300 and to provide a platform for the production and processing of the first device 100 and the second device 200. The guide member 300 supports the first device 100 and the second device 200. The first device 100 is slidably connected to the guide member 300, and during processing, the first device 100 can slide linearly along the Y-axis direction of the extension of the guide member 300 or slide in the XY plane via a belt. The guide member 300 is movably connected to the frame of the processing platform 400, and the guide member 300 can move relative to the frame of the processing platform 400 along the X-axis direction and also along the Z-axis direction. This allows the first device 100 to move along the X-axis direction relative to the guide member 300 relative to the frame of the processing platform 400, and also allows the first device 100 to move up and down along the Z-axis direction relative to the guide member 300 relative to the frame of the processing platform 400. The sliding of the first device 100 along the Y-axis direction of the guide 300, the movement of the first device 100 along the X-axis direction following the guide 300, and the up-and-down movement of the first device 100 along the Z-axis direction following the guide 300 can be coordinated by a stepper motor and a transmission system. This allows the stepper motor to drive the first device 100 to move precisely in three-dimensional space via a lead screw, ensuring that the material processed by the first device 100 is shaped according to the designed trajectory.

[0071] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first device 100 is provided with a mounting part 115, and the second device 200 is provided with a connecting part 215. The first device 100 and the second device 200 are connected by the cooperation of the mounting part 115 and the connecting part 215. There are various ways in which the mounting part 115 and the connecting part 215 are cooperated. For example, the mounting part 115 and the connecting part 215 can be cooperated by a snap-fit ​​part and a limiting groove. The limiting groove is provided in the mounting part 115, and the snap-fit ​​part is provided in the connecting part 215. The snap-fit ​​part extends into the limiting groove, so that the connecting part 215 clamps the mounting part 115, thereby connecting the first device 100 and the second device 200. For example, the connecting portion 215 is provided with a corresponding protrusion as a snap-fit ​​portion. The second device 200 can be installed onto the first device 100 from top to bottom. The snap-fit ​​portion on the connecting portion 215 of the second device 200 extends into the limiting groove provided on the mounting portion 115 of the first device 100, thus snapping the connecting portion 215 of the second device 200 onto the mounting portion 115 of the first device 100, thereby connecting the second device 200 and the first device 100. This facilitates the installation and removal of the first device 100 and the second device 200, improving the installation efficiency of the first device 100 and the second device 200. Optionally, the second device 200 can be installed onto the first device 100 by snap-fit ​​clamping; or the second device 200 can be hung on the first device 100 by magnetic attraction.

[0072] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The mounting portion 115 is provided with a first limiting groove 120 and a second limiting groove 130 spaced apart. The mounting portion 115 is provided with a first protruding rib 122 and a second protruding rib 132 spaced apart. The first protruding rib 122 and the second protruding rib 132 are provided on the surface of the main body of the first device 100 facing the second device 200. A first inclined surface 124 is formed on the side of the first protruding rib 122 facing away from the second protruding rib 132, and a second inclined surface 134 is formed on the side of the second protruding rib 132 facing away from the first protruding rib 122. The first inclined surface 124 and the surface of the main body of the first device 100 facing the second device 200 form the first limiting groove 120, and the second inclined surface 134 and the surface of the main body of the first device 100 facing the second device 200 form the second limiting groove 130. The connecting portion 215 is provided with a first latching portion 220 and a second latching portion 230, which are spaced apart from the first latching portion 220. The side of the first latching portion 220 facing the second latching portion 230 has a third inclined surface 224, which contacts the first inclined surface 124. The side of the second latching portion 230 facing the first latching portion 220 has a fourth inclined surface 234, which contacts the second inclined surface 134. The first latching portion 220 is used to extend into the first limiting groove 120; the second latching portion 230 is used to extend into the second limiting groove 130. After the first latching portion 220 and the second latching portion 230 extend into the first limiting groove 120 and the second limiting groove 130 respectively, the connecting portion 215 is fastened onto the mounting portion 115, thereby connecting the second device 200 and the first device 100. The first latching portion 220 and the first limiting groove 120 are in contact through the third inclined surface 224 and the first inclined surface 124, ensuring the precise positioning of the first latching portion 220 and the first limiting groove 120. The second latching portion 230 and the second limiting groove 130 are in contact through the fourth inclined surface 234 and the second inclined surface 134, ensuring the precise positioning of the second latching portion 230 and the second limiting groove 130, thereby ensuring the precise positioning of the second device 200 and the first device 100.

[0073] The mounting portion 115 has a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 126 on the side of the first rib 122 facing away from the first inclined surface 124, and a plurality of second reinforcing ribs 132 on the side of the second rib facing away from the second inclined surface 134. The plurality of first reinforcing ribs 126 are disposed on the surface of the first device 100 facing the second device 200, and one end of each first reinforcing rib 126 perpendicular to the surface of the first device 100 facing the second device 200 is connected to the side of the first rib 122 facing away from the first inclined surface 124. The first reinforcing ribs 126 and the second reinforcing ribs 136 strengthen the connection between the first rib 122 and the surface of the first device 100, dispersing the stress on the first rib 122 when it bears an object, and improving the strength and rigidity of the first rib 122 without increasing the overall wall thickness. Multiple second reinforcing ribs 136 are disposed on the surface of the first device 100 facing the second device 200. One end of each second reinforcing rib 136, perpendicular to the surface of the first device 100 facing the second device 200, is connected to the side of the second rib 132 facing away from the first inclined surface 124. The multiple second reinforcing ribs 136 strengthen the connection between the second rib 132 and the surface of the first device 100, dispersing the stress experienced by the second rib 132 when bearing an object, and improving the strength and rigidity of the second rib 132 without increasing the overall wall thickness. The support of the first reinforcing ribs 126 and the second reinforcing ribs 136 increases the load-bearing capacity of the mounting portion 115, enabling the mounting portion 115 to better resist deformation and reducing the risk of the first device 100 and the second device 200 detaching during processing and production.

[0074] The first limiting groove 120 and the second limiting groove 130 are arranged along the depth direction of the first device 100, and both the first limiting groove 120 and the second limiting groove 130 extend along the height direction of the first device 100. The depth direction of the first device 100 is the Y-axis direction, and the height direction of the first device is the Z-axis direction. The first limiting groove 120 and the second limiting groove 130 are arranged along the height direction of the first device 100, so that when the second device 200 is connected to the first device 100, the connecting part 215 slides into the mounting part 115 from top to bottom by the gravity of the second device 200, so that the first locking part 220 and the second locking part 230 slide smoothly into the first limiting groove 120 and the second limiting groove 130. The operation is simple and convenient, and the installation efficiency is improved.

[0075] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6The mounting portion 115 further includes a first support rib 121 and a second support rib 131 disposed on the surface of the main body of the first device 100 facing the second device 200. The first support rib 121 is connected to the first protruding rib 122, and the second support rib 131 is connected to the second protruding rib 132. The connecting portion 215 includes a boss 262 disposed on the surface of the main body of the second device 200 facing the first device 100. The first support rib 121 and the second support rib 131 jointly support the boss 262. For example, the first support rib 121 may be a reinforcing rib of the first reinforcing rib 126 that contacts the boss 262, and the second support rib 131 may be a reinforcing rib of the second reinforcing rib 136 that contacts the boss 262. The first support rib 121 and the second support rib 131 jointly support the boss 262. The first support rib 121 is disposed at the end of the first protruding rib 122 facing the top surface of the first device 100, and the second support rib 131 is disposed at the end of the second protruding rib 132 facing the top surface of the first device 100. After the first snap-fit ​​portion 220 and the second snap-fit ​​portion 230 of the connecting portion 215 extend into the first limiting groove 120 and the second limiting groove 130, the boss 262 of the connecting portion 215 rests on the first support rib 121 and the second support rib 131. At this time, the second snap-fit ​​portion 230 and the first snap-fit ​​portion 220 no longer extend into the second limiting groove 130 and the first limiting groove 120. The mounting portion 115 supports the connecting portion 215 through the first support rib 121, the second support rib 131, the first protruding rib 122 and the second protruding rib 132, the first reinforcing rib 126 and the second reinforcing rib 136, and positions the connecting portion 215 by supporting the connecting portion 215 through the first support rib 121 and the second support rib 131. The mounting portion 115 of the first device 100 and the connecting portion 215 of the second device 200 are connected by extending into the first limiting groove 120 and the second limiting groove 130 through the first snap-fit ​​portion 220 and the second snap-fit ​​portion 230. The boss 262 of the connecting portion 215 is supported by the first support rib 121 and the second support rib 131 of the mounting portion 115, thereby realizing the snap-fit ​​connection between the first device 100 and the second device 200, reducing the risk of the first device 100 and the second device 200 falling off during processing and production on the processing equipment, and improving the installation and positioning efficiency between the first device 100 and the second device 200.

[0076] Please see Figure 6The connecting portion 215 also includes a locking member 250. The locking member 250, together with the first latching portion 220 and the second latching portion 230, is used to clamp the mounting portion 115 of the first device 100, so that the second device 200 is connected to the first device 100. The first latching portion 220 and the second latching portion 230 are spaced apart on the surface of the second device 200 facing the first device 100. The first latching portion 220 is fixedly connected to the main body of the second device 200, and the second latching portion 230 is movably connected to the main body of the second device 200. The first latching portion 220 and the second latching portion 230 are located at the two side edges of the second device 200, facilitating the insertion of the first latching portion 220 into the first limiting groove 120 and the second latching portion 230 into the second limiting groove 130. The second latching portion 230 is movably connected to the main body of the second device 200, allowing the second latching portion 230 to be detached from the main body of the second device 200. When removing the second device 200 from the first device 100, you can either slide out the first latching part 220 and the second latching part 230, or you can remove the second latching part 230 and then remove the second device 200. Alternatively, you can loosen the locking member 250 on the connecting part 215 to increase the distance between the first latching part 220 and the second latching part 230, thereby removing the second device from the first device. The first latching portion 220 and the second latching portion 230 extend into the first limiting groove 120 and the second limiting groove 130, respectively. The boss 262 of the connecting portion 215 rests on the first support rib 121 and the second support rib 131 of the mounting portion 115. The locking member 250 on the connecting portion 215 locks / presses the second latching portion 230. By reducing the distance between the first latching portion 220 and the second latching portion 230, the stress between the first latching portion 220 and the first limiting groove 120 and the second latching portion 230 and the second limiting groove 130 is increased. This further secures the connecting portion 215 of the second device 200 onto the mounting portion 115 of the first device 100, reducing the risk of the first device 100 and the second device 200 falling off during processing and production on the processing equipment.

[0077] A connecting portion 215 is disposed at a first segment 260 and a second segment 261 that are fixedly connected to the main body of the second device 200. The first segment 260 and the second segment 261 are spaced apart and both extend into the second limiting groove 130. A second snap-fit ​​portion 230 is located between the first segment 260 and the second segment 261. The first segment 260 and the second segment 261 are fixedly connected to the main body of the second device 200. The side of the first segment 260 and the second segment 261 facing the first snap-fit ​​portion 220 also has a fourth inclined surface 234, which contacts the second inclined surface 134. The first segment 260 and the second segment 261 are disposed at both ends of the second snap-fit ​​portion 230. When the second device 200 is connected to the first device 100, the first segment 260 and the second segment 261, together with the second snap-fit ​​portion 230, extend into the second limiting groove 130. When the second snap-fit ​​part 230 is disassembled at the connecting part 215, the first segment 260 and the second segment 261 extend into the second limiting groove 130, preventing the second device 200 from falling off the first device 100 and ensuring the safety of the installation work. In addition, the second segment 261 ensures that when the first device 100 and the second device 200 are connected, there is a partial overlap between the second snap-fit ​​part 230 and the second protrusion 132, preventing the second snap-fit ​​part 230 from getting stuck in the second protrusion 132 / second limiting groove 130 when it is released, which would cause the second device 200 to get stuck when disassembling from the first device 100.

[0078] The locking member 250 is fixedly connected to the main body of the second device 200. The locking member 250 is used to press against the second latching part 230 so that the second latching part 230 and the first latching part 220 clamp the mounting part 115. After the first latching part 220 and the second latching part 230 extend into the first limiting groove 120 and the second limiting groove 130 for clamping, the locking member 250 presses against the second latching part 230, reducing the gap between the second latching part 230 and the second limiting groove 130, and between the first latching part 220 and the first limiting groove 120. This increases the force between the second latching part 230 and the second limiting groove 130, and between the first latching part 220 and the first limiting groove 120, making the clamping of the mounting part 115 by the first latching part 220 and the second latching part 230 more secure, reducing the risk of falling off during production and processing, and improving the safety factor of the processing equipment.

[0079] Please see Figure 7An elastic element 253 connects the second latching portion 230 and the main body of the second device 200. The locking element 250 includes a fixing bolt 251 and a cam wrench 252. The fixing bolt 251 passes through the second latching portion 230 and is fixedly connected to the main body of the second device 200. The cam wrench 252 is hinged to the fixing bolt 251 and presses against the surface of the second latching portion 230 facing away from the elastic element 253. The elastic element 253 between the second latching portion 230 and the second device 200 cooperates with the locking element 250 to clamp the second latching portion 230 and the first latching portion 220 with the second limiting groove 130 and the first limiting groove 120. When the cam wrench 252 is lifted, the elastic element 253 is in a relaxed state, and the elastic element 253 between the locking element 250 and the second device 200 does not generate clamping force at this time. After the cam wrench 252 is pressed down, it positions and fixes the fixing bolt 251. The fixing bolt 251 of the locking member 250 presses against the elastic member 253 between the second locking part 230 and the second device 200. The elastic member 253 is in a compressed state, which makes the second locking part 230 and the second limiting groove 130 pressed together. This increases the stress between the first locking part 220 and the first limiting groove 120, and between the second locking part 230 and the second limiting groove 130. As a result, the locking member 250, together with the first locking part 220 and the second locking part 230, clamps the hanging part 115. This makes the clamping of the first locking part 220 and the second locking part 230 on the hanging part 115 more secure, reduces the risk of falling off during production and processing, and improves the safety factor of the processing equipment.

[0080] The surface of the cam wrench 252 facing away from the second latching portion 230 is marked. The processing equipment is also equipped with a first camera for photographing the mark. The first camera photographs the mark, which can be a graphic shape, such as multiple circular icons, square icons, triangular icons, or even a QR code shape. This application does not limit the specific implementation of the mark. By analyzing the mark, the raised and lowered states of the cam wrench 252 of the locking member 250 are determined to determine whether the locking member 250 is locked. The mark can improve the accuracy of identification. When the locking member 250 is not locked before processing or when the locking member 250 is not locked during processing, an alarm is triggered. In this application, the first camera is set on the first device 100 or the second device 200, or the first camera is set on the chassis / frame of the processing equipment. During or after the processing equipment begins processing, a first camera takes a picture of the cam wrench 252. A processor within the processing equipment analyzes the image captured by the first camera. After taking a picture of the cam wrench 252, the first camera transmits the image to the processor. The processor identifies the markings on the cam wrench 252 captured by the first camera. When the cam wrench 252 is detected as being in a depressed state, it determines that the locking member 250 is engaged with the second latching part 230. The processor then transmits a motion command to the first device 100 via the first cable 111. The first device 100 transmits the motion command to the second device 200, and both devices begin operation. When the cam wrench 252 is detected as being in a raised state, it determines that the locking member 250 is not engaged with the second latching part 230. The processor then issues an alarm to remind the operator to engage the locking member 250. By using the markings on the cam wrench 252 captured by the first camera to determine the engagement status of the locking member 250, the safety of the processing equipment during production is improved.

[0081] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6The first device 100 includes a reference positioning element, and the second device 200 includes a positioning alignment element. When the second device 200 is connected to the first device 100, the reference positioning element and the positioning alignment element have a preset positional relationship. The reference positioning element on the first device 100 and the positioning alignment element on the second device 200 are used to help position the mounting portion 115 of the first device 100 and the connecting portion 215 of the second device 200. The preset positional relationship between the reference positioning element and the positioning alignment element is used to determine the position when the mounting portion 115 of the first device 100 is connected to the connecting portion 215 of the second device 200, thereby determining whether the second device 200 is installed in place. When the first device 100 and the second device 200 are connected, the reference positioning element and the positioning alignment element are aligned, improving the alignment accuracy of the mounting portion 115 and the connecting portion 215, thereby improving the installation accuracy of the first device 100 and the second device 200. For example, in this application, the reference positioning member includes a positioning recess 117 disposed on the surface of the first device 100 facing the second device 200, and the positioning alignment member includes a positioning protrusion 217 on the surface of the second device 200 facing the first device 100. When the first device 100 is connected to the second device 200, the first engaging portion 220 and the second engaging portion 230 of the connecting portion 215 extend into the first limiting groove 120 and the second limiting groove 130, and the positioning protrusion 217 on the second device 200 engages with the positioning recess 117 on the first device 100, ensuring the preset relationship between the reference positioning member and the positioning alignment member. The positions of the positioning protrusion 217 and the positioning recess 117 can be adjusted according to the actual state. For example, the positioning protrusion 217 can be disposed between the first engaging portion 220 and the second engaging portion 230, and the positioning recess 117 can be disposed between the first limiting groove 120 and the second limiting groove 130. After the positioning protrusion 217 and the positioning recess 117 are aligned, the first device 100 and the second device 200 can be installed, which improves the installation accuracy of the first device 100 and the second device 200, facilitates the installation of the first device 100 and the second device 200, and improves production efficiency.

[0082] For some feasible implementation methods, please refer to Figure 5 The reference positioning element of the first device 100 may include a first cooling fan 103, which is used to blow air onto the 3D print head. For example, the hot end of the 3D print head includes a nozzle and heat sink fins. The first cooling fan 103 blows air onto the heat sink fins to help dissipate heat from the hot end. The first cooling fan 103 is mounted on one side of the nozzle 140. During the 3D printing process, the printing material is heated and melted by the hot end, and then extruded through the nozzle 140 for printing. The first cooling fan 103 of the reference positioning element blows air onto the heat sink fins to help dissipate heat from the hot end.

[0083] After the printing material is extruded from the nozzle 140 onto the processing platform 400, it can be cooled rapidly to prevent the material from deforming before curing. The printed product cools rapidly to prevent the material from sagging or deforming, thus improving the printing quality.

[0084] Please see Figure 6 The positioning and alignment component of the second device 200 also includes the lower surface 203 of the connecting portion 215, which is aligned with the upper edge of the first cooling fan 103 on the side away from the processing platform 400. When the second device 200 is connected to the first device 100, the first latching portion 220 and the second latching portion 230 of the connecting portion 215 extend into the first limiting groove 120 and the second limiting groove 130, and the lower surface 203 of the connecting portion 215 is aligned with the upper edge of the first cooling fan 103 on the side away from the processing plane, thus aligning the first device 100 and the second device 200. By identifying whether the lower surface 203 of the connecting portion 215 is aligned with the upper edge of the first cooling fan 103 on the side away from the processing plane, it is determined whether the second device 200 is installed in place.

[0085] One of the first device 100 and the second device 200 is a 3D printing head, and the other is a mounting component. The 3D printing head includes a hot end for heating the printing material, and the mounting component includes a connector or a laser head with an output laser. The connector is used to connect a cutter assembly or a pen holder, and the pen holder is used to connect a drawing pen. When the first device 100 is a 3D printing head, the second device 200 is a mounting component. When the second device 200 is a 3D printing head, the first device 100 is a mounting component. When the first device 100 is a 3D printing head and the second device 200 is a mounting component, a laser head can be connected to the 3D printing head, and a connector can also be connected to the 3D printing head. The connector is used to connect the cutter assembly and the pen holder, and the pen holder is used to connect a drawing pen. The type of mounting component on the 3D printing head can be switched. For example, when a laser head is already connected to the 3D printing head, the laser head can be detached and replaced with a connector that can connect to a cutter assembly or a pen holder. When the 3D printing head is already connected to a connector for attaching a cutter assembly or pen holder, this connector can be detached and replaced with a laser head. The hot end of the 3D printing head, used to heat the printing material, extrudes the material through a nozzle. The printing material can be a heat- and melt-friendly plastic filament, such as polylactic acid or acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer. The nozzle diameter can be 0.2mm, 0.4mm, or 0.8mm, etc. The printing material contained within the 3D printing head can be of multiple colors and with different properties, not just one type.

[0086] In some feasible implementations, when the 3D printing head is connected to the laser head, after the 3D printing head has finished printing the product or during the printing process, the laser head performs laser engraving on the 3D printed product / part of the product. The high energy density of the laser beam causes the material surface to heat up rapidly, melt, or vaporize, thereby forming the desired pattern or text. This reduces the steps of first installing the 3D printing head, then disassembling it, and then installing the laser head, improving production efficiency. Alternatively, the processing consumables for the laser head, such as acrylic sheets, wood, metal, glass, stainless steel, and rock, can be placed on the processing platform, allowing the laser head to process products other than 3D printed products. The processing equipment of this application can achieve 3D printing independently, laser engraving / cutting independently, or both simultaneously. By sharing the same set of motion devices, such as guide rods / processing platforms, between the laser head and the 3D printing head, various processing methods can be achieved, such as printing, engraving / cutting, printing while engraving / cutting, or printing first and then engraving / cutting, providing multiple possibilities for complex product manufacturing, further improving production efficiency, and reducing costs.

[0087] Sculpting refers to the process of altering the appearance of a material without completely penetrating it. It involves removing portions of a material through carving, engraving, or other methods to create a desired shape, pattern, or design. Examples include carving fine lines and patterns on a material's surface using a carving knife, or engraving text or images on a material's surface using a laser beam.

[0088] Cutting refers to altering the appearance, properties, and / or state of a material by means of mechanical force, heat, water, or chemical methods, separating the material into two or more parts. Cutting can include, for example, through-cutting, bleaching, curing, burning, etc. Examples include mechanical cutting, thermal cutting, water cutting, or chemical cutting.

[0089] When the 3D printing head is connected to the connector, and the connector is connected to the cutter assembly, the cutter assembly is used to cut the 3D printed product / part of the product after printing or during the printing process, removing excess parts of the 3D printed product. Alternatively, the cutter assembly can perform secondary processing on the 3D printed product, cutting it into the required shape. The cutter assembly can be made of high-hardness materials, such as tool steel and hard alloys. The cutter head in the cutter assembly is detachable and can be of various types, such as disc cutter type, pointed cutter type, etc., providing a variety of different cutting methods. Alternatively, the processing consumables of the cutter assembly, such as wood, paper, plastic, leather, metal sheets such as foil, fabric, etc., can be placed on the processing platform, and the cutter assembly can process products other than 3D printed products. The processing equipment of this application can realize 3D printing alone, cutting alone, or both. Cutting can cut some flammable materials such as paper and plastic, compared to laser cutting.

[0090] When the 3D printing head connects to a connector, and the connector connects to a pen holder, the pen can be used for drawing and design on the 3D printed product / part of the product. The pen has an adjustable tip and ink to achieve different drawing effects and precision. The pen is detachably connected to the pen holder, allowing for multi-colored drawing by changing different colored pens, and different pen effects by changing different types of pens. In this application, the connector is compatible with the connection of the cutter assembly and the pen holder. By sharing the same motion device, such as the guide rod / processing platform, with the 3D printing head, various processing methods can be achieved. Furthermore, the connector can connect to cutter assemblies with different cutter types and to pens of different colors / types, allowing for a wide variety of processing methods and greatly enriching the processing forms and efficiency of the processing equipment.

[0091] Optionally, after the 3D print head finishes printing, the product can be further processed using a mounting device. For example, a laser head can perform laser engraving on the product, a cutting assembly can cut it, or a pen can draw patterns on it. This avoids the repeated installation and removal of the 3D print head, laser head, cutting assembly, and pen holder, thus improving the production efficiency of the processing equipment.

[0092] When the second device 200 is a laser head 201, the exit of the 3D printing head nozzle 140 is lower than the lower surface of the laser head 201. When the 3D printing head is printing, the printing material is heated and melted by the hot end, then extruded through the nozzle 140. The lower exit of the nozzle 140 ensures that the 3D printing head will not be obstructed even with the laser head 201 installed, avoiding motion interference from the laser head 201. The exit of the nozzle 140 is 1mm-2mm lower than the lower surface of the laser head 201. In this application, the exit of the 3D printing head nozzle 140 is 1.6mm lower than the lower surface of the laser head 201, allowing the processing equipment to perform laser engraving simultaneously with 3D printing, meeting the scenario of simultaneous printing and engraving. Simultaneously, the laser head 201 does not obstruct the 3D printing head, avoiding motion interference from the laser head 201.

[0093] Please see Figure 2The first device 100 has a first socket 112 and a second socket 110. The first socket 112 is used to connect to a power supply or control module via a first cable 111 to supply power to the first device 100 or to transmit motion commands to the first device 100. The second socket 110 is used to connect to a second device 200 via a second cable 210 to supply power to the second device 200 and to transmit motion commands. The first socket 112 and the second socket 110 are spaced apart. The first cable 111 can be a power cable, connecting the first device 100 and the power supply, with the power supply providing power to the first device 100 through the first cable 111. The second cable 210 can also be a power cable, connecting the first device 100 and the second device 200, enabling the first device 100 to supply power to the second device 200 or the second device 200 to draw power from the power supply through the first device 100. The second cable 210 can also be a communication line. The second device 200 can communicate with the first device 100 or, through the first device 100, with the processor of the processing equipment to transmit the status of the second device 200 to the first device 100 / processor of the processing equipment, receive information / instructions from the first device 100, or receive information / instructions from the processor of the processing equipment. For example, the first device 100 transmits motion instructions from an external controller to the second device 200 to control the movement of the connector on the second device 200. For instance, when the second device 200 is a mount connected to a connector or laser head, it controls the cutting motion of the cutter assembly, the drawing motion of the pen, and the laser engraving motion of the laser head. Both the first cable 111 and the second cable 210 are provided with protective sleeves of a certain rigidity to support the first cable 111 and the second cable 210, so that there is a sufficient gap between the first cable 111 and the second cable 210 and the top surface of the first device 100 and the second device 200. This avoids the first cable 111 and the second cable 210 from directly contacting the top surface of the first device 100 and the second device 200 and causing overheating, and also avoids the first cable 111 and the second cable 210 from falling on the first device 100 and the second device 200 and interfering with the movement of the first device 100 and the second device 200.

[0094] For some feasible implementation methods, please refer to Figure 2A cable protection drag chain is provided around the first cable 111, and the cable protection drag chain bends the first cable 111 towards the first device 100 to connect to the first socket 112. This bending connection of the first cable 111 ensures that the first device 100 has sufficient travel in the xy plane. The second socket 110 is located on the other side of the first device 100, and the socket 218 in the second device 200 that connects to the second cable is located on the same side as the second socket 110. For example, socket 218 and the second socket 110 are located on the same side of the first socket 112. When the second cable 210 is located at the bend of the first cable 111 facing the other side of the second device 200, during the process of the first device 100 driving the second device 200, the first cable 111 is dragged and moves together with the first device 100. The first cable 111 is always located to the right of the second cable 210. That is, when the second device 200 is mounted on the first device 100, the second cable 210 connecting the second device 200 and the first device 100 does not cross the first cable 111 that needs to draw power from the power source / communicate with the control module. The connection of the second cable 210 does not interfere with the movement of the first cable 111 and the first device, which can simultaneously ensure the smooth movement and communication of the first device 100 and the second device 200. There is also a certain gap between the first cable 111 and the second cable 210. During the process of the first device 100 driving the second device 200, the first cable 111 and the second cable 210 will not cross or entangle, avoiding interference between the first cable 111 and the second cable 210 during the processing and printing process of the processing equipment. The cable protection cable chain is made of metal materials, such as stainless steel and aluminum alloy. The cable protection cable chain is installed around the first cable 111 to prevent the first device 100 from wearing and twisting the first cable 111 during processing, thereby extending the service life of the first cable 111.

[0095] One of the components in the first part is the 3D printing head, and the other is the connector. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 8 When the second device is a connector 500, the connector 500 connects to a cutting assembly or a pen holder for connecting a pen. The cutting head of the cutting assembly or the pen tip of the pen is lower than the nozzle 140 of the 3D printing head. When processing the product, the cutting head of the cutting assembly or the pen tip of the pen must directly contact the product for processing. The cutting head of the cutting assembly or the pen tip of the pen must be lower than the nozzle 140 of the 3D printing head to ensure that the processing equipment can perform cutting or drawing. At the same time, the 3D printing head will not obstruct the operation of the cutting head of the cutting assembly or the pen tip of the pen, avoiding motion interference between the 3D printing head and the cutting head / pen tip. In some feasible embodiments, the cutting head / pen tip can be retracted in the working device of the 3D printing head to avoid interference between the cutting head / pen tip and the movement of the 3D printing head. When cutting / drawing is required, the cutting head / pen tip is exposed for processing, and the processing equipment can still achieve 3D printing and cutting / drawing.

[0096] Please see Figure 9 The connector 500 has a through hole 509 through which the cutter assembly 502 or the pen holder 503 passes. A magnet 504 is provided at one end of the cutter assembly 502 or the pen holder 503 extending into the connector 500. The connector 500 also has a cavity 507, within which a floating seat 505 is disposed, slidingly contacting the inner wall of the cavity 507. The floating seat 505 is detachably connected to the cutter assembly 502 or the pen holder 503. A floating elastic element 506 is disposed within the cavity 507, and the floating seat 505 is connected to the floating elastic element 506 in the axial direction of the through hole 509. The floating seat 505 allows the cutter assembly 502 or the pen holder 503 to move up and down along the Z-axis. For example, during 3D printing, the cutter assembly 502 or the pen holder 503 can move upwards along the Z-axis without interfering with the operation of the 3D printing head. When the cutter assembly 502 or the pen holder 503 is connected to the pen, the floating seat 505 ensures that the cutter head or pen head and the object to be processed are non-rigidly connected when the cutter head or pen head of the cutter assembly 502 or the pen head of the pen contact the object to be processed.

[0097] A floating elastic element 506 is provided inside the cavity 507. A floating seat 505 is connected to the floating elastic element 506 in the axial direction of the through hole 509. A sensor 114 on the connector is located near the cutter assembly magnet 504 or the pen holder magnet 512 to detect whether the connector 500 is connected to the cutter assembly 502 or the pen holder 503. The floating seat 505 is fixedly connected to the cutter assembly 502 or the pen holder 503. The floating seat 505 is connected to the floating elastic element 506 in the cavity in the axial direction of the through hole 509, allowing the cutter assembly 502 or the pen holder 503 to move up and down relative to the connector 500 along the Z-axis.

[0098] Sensor 114 is mounted on motherboard 508, which is installed near magnet 504 on cutter assembly 502 or magnet 512 on pen holder 503. In this application, sensor 114 is a Hall sensor or eddy current coil capable of identifying magnet 504 on cutter assembly 502 or magnet 512 on pen holder 503. The Hall sensor or eddy current coil can detect the magnetic polarity of magnet 504 on cutter assembly 502 or magnet 512 on pen holder 503 to determine whether connector 500 is connected to cutter assembly 502 or pen holder 503. The Hall sensor or eddy current coil can detect the magnetic field strength of magnet 504 on cutter assembly 502 or magnet 512 on pen holder 503. This magnetic field strength is positively correlated with the distance between magnet 504 on cutter assembly 502 or magnet 512 on pen holder 503 and the Hall sensor or eddy current coil. The Hall sensor or eddy current coil can determine whether cutter assembly 502 or pen holder 503 is properly installed based on the magnetic field strength. Optionally, a Hall sensor or eddy current coil can also determine the movement trajectory of the cutter assembly 502 or the pen holder 503, thereby determining whether the cutter assembly 502 or the pen holder 503 moves along a specified trajectory. The sensor 114 is mounted on the main board 508, reducing the need for a separate mounting plate for the sensor 114, simplifying the mechanical structure, and lowering installation space and production costs.

[0099] Please see Figure 10 The cutting assembly 502 includes a blade head 511 and a blade holder 510, with a pen holder 503 for attaching a pen. A magnet 504 is provided on the blade holder 510 of the cutting assembly 502. The blade head 511 and blade holder 510 of the cutting assembly 502 can be an integral structure, or they can be separate structures. When the blade holder 510 and blade head 511 are separate structures, the blade head 511 is first inserted into the blade holder 510, and then the blade holder 510 is connected to the connector 500. The blade head 511 is detachably connected to the blade holder 510, and various different cutting methods can be achieved by replacing the blade head 511.

[0100] By implementing this application, a sensor can be used to determine whether a cutter assembly or a pen holder is installed at the same installation location of the connector. This is simple, effective, requires relatively little space, and has a simple and compact mechanical structure.

[0101] Please see Figure 11A magnet 512 is provided at one end of the pen holder 503. The magnet 512 on the pen holder 503 and the magnet 504 on the cutter assembly 502 have opposite magnetic properties. The sensor 114 determines whether the connector 500 is connected to the cutter assembly 502 or the pen holder 503 by identifying the magnetic properties of the magnet 504 on the cutter assembly 502 or the magnet 512 on the pen holder 503. For example, the magnetic pole of the magnet 504 on the cutter assembly 502 facing the sensor 114 is the N pole, and the magnetic pole of the magnet 512 on the pen holder 503 facing the sensor 114 is the S pole. When the sensor 114 detects the N pole, it determines that the connector 500 is connected to the cutter assembly 502; when the sensor 114 detects the S pole, it determines that the connector 500 is connected to the pen holder 503. Sensor 114 determines whether the 3D printing head is equipped with a cutter assembly 502 or a connected pen holder 503 by sensing the magnetic polarity of the magnet 504 on the cutter assembly 502 or the magnet 512 on the pen holder 503. This makes the processing movement between the 3D printing head and the cutter assembly 502 or pen holder 503 more matched, and avoids damage to the product caused by the 3D printing head and the cutter assembly 502 or pen holder 503.

[0102] When the first device 100 is a 3D printing head and the second device 200 is a connector 500, the magnetic polarities of the magnet 504 on the cutter assembly 502 or the magnet 512 on the pen holder 503 connected to the connector 500 are different. The sensor 114 determines whether the connector 500 is connected to the cutter assembly 502 or the pen holder 503 by sensing the magnetic polarity of the magnet 504 on the cutter assembly 502 or the magnet 512 on the pen holder 503, so that the movement of the 3D printing head and the connector 500 are matched, thus improving the matching degree between the 3D printing head and the connector 500 during processing and production. In this application, the structure and position of the sensor 114 and the magnet 504 on the connector 500 are relatively simple. The sensor 114 is set on the main board 508, saving installation space and reducing production costs.

[0103] When the 3D printing head is connected to the connector 500, and the connector 500 is connected to the cutter assembly 502, the cutter assembly 502 is used to cut the 3D printed product / part of the product after the 3D printing head has finished printing or during the printing process. The cutter assembly 502 removes the excess parts of the 3D printed product. Alternatively, the cutter assembly 502 can perform secondary processing on the 3D printed product, cutting it into the required shape. The cutter assembly 502 can be made of high-hardness materials, such as tool steel and hard alloys. The cutter head in the cutter assembly 502 is detachable and can have various types, such as disc cutter type, pointed cutter type, etc., providing a variety of different cutting methods. Alternatively, the processing consumables of the cutter assembly 502, such as wood, paper, plastic, leather, metal sheets such as foil, fabric, etc., can be placed on the processing platform, and the cutter assembly 502 can process products other than 3D printed products. The processing equipment of this application can realize 3D printing alone, 3D cutting alone, or both. Compared to laser cutting, blade cutting can cut some flammable materials such as paper and plastic.

[0104] When the 3D printing head is connected to the connector 500, and the connector 500 is connected to the pen holder 503, the pen can be used for drawing and design on the 3D printed product / part of the product. The pen has an adjustable tip and ink to achieve different drawing effects and precision. The pen is detachably connected to the pen holder 503, allowing for multi-colored drawing by changing different colored pens, and different pen effects by changing different types of pens. In this application, the connector 500 is compatible with the connection of the cutter assembly 502 and the pen holder 503. By sharing the same motion device, such as the guide rod / processing platform, with the 3D printing head, the connector 500 can achieve various processing methods. Furthermore, the connector 500 can also connect to the cutter assembly 502 with different cutter types and to pens of different colors / types, allowing for a wide variety of processing methods and greatly enriching the processing forms and efficiency of the processing equipment.

[0105] The sensor 114 is fixed relative to the connector 500, while the cutter assembly 502 or the pen holder 503 is movably mounted on the connector 500. The sensor 114 also detects the magnetic field strength of the magnet 504 on the cutter assembly 502 or the magnet 512 on the pen holder 503 to determine the position of the cutter assembly 502 or the pen holder 503. When processing a product, the magnetic field strength of the magnet 504 on the cutter assembly 502 changes with the movement of the cutter assembly 502, and the magnetic field strength of the magnet 512 on the pen holder 503 changes with the movement of the pen. Sensor 114 detects and records the magnetic field strength of magnet 504 on cutter assembly 502 or magnet 512 on pen holder 503. Based on the change in magnetic field strength of magnet 504 on cutter assembly 502 or magnet 512 on pen holder 503, it determines the position change of cutter assembly 502 or pen holder 503, and thus determines the movement trajectory of cutter assembly 502 or pen.

[0106] In this application, both the cutter assembly 502 and the pen holder 503 are cylindrical, which facilitates their insertion into the connector 500, shortens the installation time, and improves work efficiency. The magnet 504 on the cutter assembly 502 or the magnet 512 on the pen holder 503 can be annular and positioned at one end. When the cutter assembly 502 or the pen holder 503 is connected to the connector 500, the sensor 114 can detect the magnet 504 on the cutter assembly 502 or the magnet 512 on the pen holder 503 without needing to adjust its position, facilitating the sensor 114's identification of the magnet 504 on the cutter assembly 502 or the magnet 512 on the pen holder 503.

[0107] Please see Figure 5 Sensor 114 can be installed in the 3D print head. The 3D print head detects whether the mount is attached to the 3D print head by sensing the magnet on the mount through sensor 114. When sensor 114 detects the magnet, it means that the 3D print head is equipped with the mount. At this time, the processing equipment can perform 3D printing operations and also process the 3D printed product. The action commands required by the mount can be transmitted to the mount through the 3D print head to control the processing of the mount. When sensor 114 does not detect the magnet, it means that the 3D print head is not equipped with the mount. At this time, the processing equipment can only perform 3D printing operations.

[0108] The 3D printing head also includes a cutting device 127 for cutting the material used in 3D printing. The cutting device 127 includes a magnetic cutter head. A sensor 114 can be located near the cutting device 127 and is also used to detect the position of the cutting device 127. The cutter head of the cutting device 127 is equipped with a magnet. When the cutting device 127 performs a cutting action, the magnet moves with the movement of the cutter head. The sensor 114 determines whether the cutter head of the cutting device 127 has successfully reset by detecting the position change of the magnet. When the sensor 114 detects that the cutter head of the cutting device 127 has not reset, it will issue a prompt. For example, when the sensor 114 detects that the cutter head of the cutting device 127 has not reset, a corresponding prompt will pop up on the control panel screen of the processing equipment to inform the operator that the cutter head of the cutting device 127 has not reset. Alternatively, when the first device 100 receives a motion command to perform processing, the sensor 114 detects whether the cutting head of the cutting device 127 is processing according to a predetermined trajectory. When the motion trajectory of the cutting head of the cutting device 127 detected by the sensor 114 does not match the motion trajectory required by the actual motion command, the control panel screen of the processing equipment will pop up a corresponding prompt to inform the operator that the motion trajectory of the cutting head of the cutting device 127 is incorrect.

[0109] Sensor 114 can be located near the cutting device 127 and is also used to detect the position of the cutting device 127. The cutting device 127 includes a magnetic cutter head. When the cutting device 127 performs a cutting action, sensor 114 determines the state of the cutting device by detecting the position of the cutter head, such as detecting the position of the cutter head to determine whether the cutting is successful, or to determine whether the cutting device 127 has successfully reset. When sensor 114 detects that the cutting device 127 has not reset, it will issue a prompt. For example, when sensor 114 detects that the cutting device 127 has not reset, the control panel screen of the processing equipment will display a corresponding prompt to inform the operator that the cutting device 127 has not reset. Alternatively, when the first device 100 receives a motion command to perform processing, sensor 114 detects whether the position of the cutting device 127 is processing according to a predetermined trajectory. When the motion trajectory of the cutting device 127 detected by sensor 114 does not match the motion trajectory required by the actual motion command, the control panel screen of the processing equipment will display a corresponding prompt to inform the operator that the motion trajectory of the cutting device 127 is incorrect.

[0110] In some feasible implementations, the magnets on the laser head and the connector have opposite magnetic properties. The mount can be either a laser head or a connector. The magnetic poles of the magnet facing the sensing surface of the laser head and the magnet facing the sensing surface of the connector have opposite magnetic properties, allowing the sensor 114 of the 3D printing head to distinguish between the laser head and the connector. For example, when the magnetic pole of the magnet facing the sensing surface of the laser head is the N pole, the magnetic pole of the magnet facing the sensing surface of the connector is the S pole. When the sensor 114 detects that the magnetic pole of the magnet facing the sensing surface is the N pole, it indicates that the mount connected to the 3D printing head is the laser head; when the sensor 114 detects that the magnetic pole of the magnet facing the sensing surface is the S pole, the mount connected to the 3D printing head is the connector.
