Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filament storage technology for 3D printing, and in particular to a filament drying container. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of 3D printing, filaments used in 3D printing are generally wound in filament rolls, and the quality of the filaments plays a crucial role in the printing effect. However, filaments are susceptible to moisture during storage. Once they become damp, their physical and chemical properties change, leading to a series of problems during the printing process, such as filament breakage, rough surface of printed parts, and reduced strength, which seriously affect the quality and yield of 3D printing.

[0003] To prevent wires from getting damp, various wire drying devices have emerged on the market. However, most existing drying devices have a significant drawback: they require a power source to operate.

[0022] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a wire drying container of the present invention includes a base 1 and a top cover 2. The base 1 is provided with a receiving groove 11 for placing wire rolls. Rollers 12 are provided at both ends of the receiving groove 11, and both sides of the wire rolls abut against the rollers 12.

[0024] The receiving tank 11 is provided with a drying chamber 13, which is connected to the receiving tank 11. The drying chamber 13 is provided with a drawer 14 for placing desiccant.

[0025] The top cover 2 is set on the upper part of the base 1 and seals the receiving groove 11.

[0026] Specifically, the wire coil is housed in the receiving groove 11, and rollers 12 are positioned at both ends of the receiving groove 11, so that the sides of the wire coil abut against the rollers 12. When the wire is retrieved, the wire coil can rotate on the rollers 12, converting the sliding friction between the wire coil and the base 1 into rolling friction. This reduces friction and pulling during the retrieval process, lowers the risk of surface wear and breakage of the wire, effectively protects the wire, ensures wire quality, and ultimately improves printing results.

[0027] The top cover 2 and the base 1 fit tightly together to form a sealed structure, effectively blocking outside air. In particular, it prevents humid air from entering the receiving tank 11, maintaining a relatively dry environment inside the receiving tank 11, avoiding interference from external moisture, and providing stable and dry storage conditions for the wires.

[0028] The desiccant has hygroscopic properties. When placed in drawer 14 of the drying chamber 13, the desiccant can come into contact with the air in the storage tank 11 by utilizing the structure that connects the drying chamber 13 to the storage tank 11. This allows the desiccant to absorb moisture in the storage tank 11, reduce the humidity in the storage tank 11, keep the wire storage environment dry, and prevent the wire from deteriorating due to moisture.

[0029] In use, place the wire coil into the receiving slot 11, and cover it with the top cover 2, which is placed on top of the base 1 and seals the receiving slot 11, thus isolating it from external moisture and preventing interference from external moisture. Pull out the drawer 14 and place the desiccant inside. The desiccant absorbs the moisture inside the drying chamber 13 and the receiving slot 11, maintaining a relatively dry environment inside the receiving slot 11.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the receiving tank 11 is provided with a vent hole 15 through the side near the drying chamber 13.

[0031] Specifically, the vent 15 creates a gas flow channel between the receiving tank 11 and the drying chamber 13. The desiccant is placed inside the drying chamber 13, and its hygroscopic properties create a low-humidity environment. Due to the pressure and humidity differences, the humid air in the receiving tank 11 naturally flows into the drying chamber 13 through the vent 15. This accelerates the removal of moisture from the receiving tank 11, improves the desiccant's absorption efficiency of moisture in the receiving tank 11, rapidly reduces the humidity in the receiving tank 11, and more efficiently maintains the dryness of the wire storage environment, effectively preventing the wire from becoming damp and deteriorating, and ensuring the quality of the wire.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the top of the receiving groove 11 in this embodiment is provided with a plurality of support rods 111, and the roller 12 is rotatably connected between two corresponding support rods 111.

[0033] Specifically, the support rod 111 provides a stable support point for the roller 12, allowing the roller 12 to be fixed at a specific position above the receiving groove 11. The roller 12 is rotatably connected to the support rod 111. When the two sides of the wire roll abut against the roller 12, the rotation of the wire roll drives the roller 12 to rotate synchronously, achieving rolling friction. This ensures the roller 12 is securely installed and that its position remains stable during the rotation of the wire roll, preventing the roller 12 from shaking and affecting the smoothness of wire handling. The rolling friction reduces the friction between the wire and the device, lowering the risk of wire wear and breakage, effectively protecting the wire, and improving wire quality and printing results.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the support rod 111 in this embodiment is provided with a fixing hole 112, and a bearing 113 is provided in the fixing hole 112. The roller 12 is rotatably connected to the support rod 111 through the bearing 113.

[0035] Specifically, the fixed hole 112 positions the bearing 113. The bearing 113 uses rolling friction instead of sliding friction, and the roller 12 rotates relative to the support rod 111 through the inner ring of the bearing 113. The bearing 113 provides stable positioning, the roller 12 rotates smoothly, frictional resistance is reduced, the wire is protected from wear, and the printing quality is maintained.

[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the base 1 in this embodiment has a sealing edge 16 at its lower part, and the bottom of the top cover 2 abuts against the sealing edge 16.

[0037] Specifically, the sealing edge 16 forms a blocking structure, and the bottom of the top cover 2 abuts against the sealing edge 16 to form a closed interface, preventing external gas and moisture from entering. This enhances the sealing performance between the base 1 and the top cover 2, better isolates external interference, maintains a dry internal environment, and protects the quality of the cable.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the base 1 in this embodiment is provided with a support foot 17 at its bottom. Specifically, the support foot 17 raises the base 1, creating a space between the base 1 and the placement surface. This reduces the impact of moisture from the placement surface on the internal wiring of the base 1, prevents moisture, and keeps the area around the base 1 clean.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, a cut surface 21 is provided on one side of the top cover 2 in this embodiment, and a wire nozzle 22 is provided on the cut surface 21. The wire wrapped around the wire coil extends out of the top cover 2 through the wire nozzle 22.

[0040] Specifically, the cut surface 21 provides an installation position for the filament nozzle 22, which forms a fixed channel to guide the filament along a preset path from the filament roll in the receiving groove 11 to the outside of the top cover 2. This standardizes the filament exit direction, prevents filament from becoming scattered or tangled, ensures smooth retrieval, and improves the stability and efficiency of 3D printing material supply.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, the wire nozzle 22 in this embodiment is provided with a sealing ring 23, which is fixed to the wire nozzle 22. The sealing ring 23 is provided with a wire outlet hole 24 for the wire to extend out of the top cover 2. The wire outlet hole 24 is in frictional connection with the outer wall of the wire.

[0042] Specifically, the sealing ring 23 fills the gap between the nozzle 22 and the wire, and the outlet hole 24 constrains the wire through friction, maintaining the wire's stable position. This enhances the sealing performance of the nozzle 22, preventing external impurities and moisture from entering; it also fixes the wire's outlet direction, preventing shaking and tangling, and ensuring stable material supply.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation method and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
