Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeder technology, specifically an intelligent temperature-controlled laser 3D printing material feeder. Background Technology
[0002] In the laser 3D printing process, the feeding device plays a crucial role. It is responsible for accurately and stably delivering the printing material to the printing area, providing the necessary material basis for laser cladding. Factors such as the uniformity, stability, and feeding speed of the material directly affect the quality, precision, and production efficiency of the printed parts. If the material is not uniform, it may lead to inconsistent density in different parts of the part, resulting in internal defects; unstable material feeding will interrupt the printing process and affect the forming quality of the part; and an inappropriate feeding speed will affect the printing efficiency and fail to meet the needs of large-scale production. Therefore, a high-quality feeding device is an important guarantee for achieving high-quality and high-efficiency laser 3D printing.
[0003] Many traditional feeding devices lack effective temperature control methods. Different 3D printing materials have specific temperature requirements. Metal powder materials are prone to oxidation at excessively high temperatures, affecting print quality. On the other hand, some polymer materials have poor flowability and are difficult to feed evenly if the temperature is too low. Traditional feeding devices cannot precisely control the temperature, causing changes in material properties during the feeding process, which in turn affects the quality of printed parts. Some traditional feeding devices require frequent manual intervention during operation, such as manually adding material and adjusting feeding parameters. This not only increases the labor intensity of operators but also easily leads to unstable feeding due to human factors, affecting the consistency of print quality. In large-scale production, manual operation is inefficient and cannot meet the needs of high-efficiency production. Therefore, we propose an intelligent temperature-controlled laser 3D printing material feeder to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0025] Furthermore, the feeding device includes a storage bin 16, which is disposed on the upper surface of the fixed block 2.
