Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of additive manufacturing technology, specifically relating to an extrusion rotary platform 3D printer. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, 3D printing technology is continuously developing due to increasing demands in fields such as industrial manufacturing, biomedicine, and aerospace, leading to the emergence of various structural types of 3D printers, such as rotary arm 3D printers, desktop FDM-3D printers, and multi-nozzle 3D printers. This rapid development of 3D printing technology is also driving research institutions, enterprises, and universities to continuously invest in its research and development, striving for further breakthroughs in printing accuracy, efficiency, stability, and application areas.
[0003] When printing tubular and rotating structures, current 3D printing technology requires the addition of internal support structures to ensure stability during the printing process. However, these supports are difficult to remove after printing, and accuracy is hard to guarantee. The steps required to add and remove internal support structures increase printing time, leading to reduced printing efficiency. Existing 3D printers mainly rely on a fixed platform and XYZ axis movement for printing. The Y-axis is generally a mechanism for independent platform movement, which increases the platform's inertia and limits its forward and backward movement speed, making high-efficiency printing impossible. Over time, this can cause a decrease in overall machine rigidity, resulting in reduced printing accuracy. Traditional XYZ fixed-platform 3D printers have limitations in terms of overall machine rigidity, space utilization, printing speed, and material selection, making them unsuitable for printing precision parts. Traditional single-nozzle 3D printers require reciprocating motion to build up material layer by layer during printing, and also require internal support structures to ensure the stability of the printed part. When printing large and complex models, frequent nozzle movements are required, which greatly reduces printing efficiency. Furthermore, single-nozzle printers can only print with one material at a time, and cannot print multiple materials simultaneously, limiting printing speed and flexibility.
[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art are dedicated to developing extrusion-type rotary platform 3D printers that avoid the problems of needing to add additional internal support structures, low stability, and frequent nozzle movement when printing tubular and rotating models in the medical and industrial manufacturing fields. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned shortcomings in existing technologies, this invention provides an extrusion-type rotary platform 3D printer, which solves the problems of existing 3D printers requiring additional internal support structures, low stability, and frequent nozzle movement when printing tubular and rotating models in the medical and industrial manufacturing fields.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: an extrusion-type rotary platform 3D printer, including a support assembly, a moving assembly, an extrusion assembly, and a rotating assembly; the support assembly includes a lower shell, an upper shell, and support columns, with multiple support columns installed above the lower shell, and the upper shell installed above the support columns, the upper shell being fixedly connected to the lower shell through the support columns; the moving assembly includes a lead screw, a first motor, and a moving support plate, the lead screw being installed above the first motor, the lead screw passing through the moving support plate and meshing with the moving support plate; the extrusion assembly includes an extruder body, a feed inlet, a heated extrusion device, and an extrusion port, the feed inlet being installed at the top of the extruder body, the heated extrusion device being installed below the extruder body, and an extrusion port being provided below the heated extrusion device; the rotating assembly includes a rotating disk, a rotating disk mounting shaft, and a driven large gear, the rotating disk being installed above the rotating disk mounting shaft, and a driven large gear being provided on the outer side of the rotating disk mounting shaft.

When the lead screw rotates, the moving support plate will move up and down, precisely controlling the height of the extrusion component, so that the extrusion component can accurately carry out layer-by-layer printing. After each layer is printed, the extrusion component will move up or down. The extrusion assembly moves to complete the next layer of printing, ensuring that it maintains a precise relative position throughout the printing process, while also guaranteeing printing accuracy and the stability of the material extrusion effect. The extrusion assembly can stably execute the feeding program, and the extruder body can transport the printing substrate. The printing substrate enters the extruder body through the feed port, and then is heated by the heating extrusion device, allowing it to be smoothly extruded from the extrusion port below the extruder body. The rotating assembly, through the rotation of the rotary disk, can reduce the moving distance and frequency of the extrusion assembly during the printing of tubular and rotating models, ensuring printing stability and efficiency. The rotary disk mounting shaft ensures that the rotary disk can rotate smoothly.

A Y-direction moving rail is provided below the Y-direction belt, and both ends of the Y-direction moving rail are fixed to support columns. A Y-direction slider is provided on the Y-direction moving rail, and the Y-direction slider is slidably connected to the Y-direction moving rail. A third motor support frame is provided on the Y-direction slider, and a Y-belt locking member is provided at the top of the third motor support frame. The component is installed on the Y-axis belt, and the Y-axis belt clamp is fixedly connected to the Y-axis belt.

An X-axis belt is provided on the third rotating shaft. An X-axis moving rail is provided between the mirror-mounted third motor support frames on the left and right sides. The X-axis moving rail is located directly above the X-axis belt. An X-axis slider is provided on the X-axis moving rail and is slidably connected to the X-axis moving rail. The X-axis belt clamp is installed on the X-axis belt and is fixedly connected to the X-axis belt.
[0014] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are as follows: the second rotating shaft can drive the Y-axis belt to rotate under the drive of the second motor, and the third motor support frame is installed on the Y-axis belt through the Y-axis belt clamp. When the Y-axis belt rotates, the third motor support frame will move along the Y-axis moving rail, realizing the Y-axis movement of the extrusion assembly. The third motor support frame provides the installation position for the third motor. The third rotating shaft can drive the X-axis belt to rotate under the drive of the third motor. The extrusion assembly is installed on the X-axis belt through the X-axis belt clamp. When the X-axis belt rotates, the extrusion assembly will move along the X-axis moving rail, realizing the X-axis movement of the extrusion assembly. The second motor and the third motor cooperate with each other to ensure the smoothness of the linear motion of the extrusion assembly in the X-axis and Y-axis and the high precision of repeatability positioning.
[0015] Furthermore, the moving component also includes a lead screw fixing device, the lead screw is fixed to the inner side of the upper housing by the lead screw fixing device, the lead screw is rotatably connected to the upper housing, and the first motor is installed on the inner side of the lower housing.
[0016] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: through the lead screw fixing device, the lead screw is rotatably connected to the upper housing, and the lead screw is made of high-strength stainless steel, which has high strength and is also rust-proof.
[0017] Furthermore, a bottom support plate is provided above the lower housing, the rotating disk mounting shaft is installed above the center of the bottom support plate, multiple driving pinions are provided on the outside of the driven large gear, the driving pinions mesh with the driven large gear, a small wheel mounting shaft is provided on the inside of the driving pinion, a fourth motor mounting bracket is provided below the lower housing, a fourth motor is provided on the fourth motor mounting bracket, and the fourth motor is fixedly connected to the small wheel mounting shaft.
[0018] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are as follows: multiple active pinions, driven by multiple fourth motors, run along a specific trajectory at the same speed. The active pinions mesh with the driven large gear, which enables the driven large gear to rotate at an angle under the drive of the active pinions. To ensure the accuracy of the rotating platform, this design uses a high-precision gear system, which makes the rotation of the rotating disk smooth and accurate, thereby further improving the stability and accuracy of the overall printing process.
[0019] Furthermore, an avoidance groove is provided on the inner side of the lower housing.
[0020] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the avoidance groove reserves movement space for the third motor. When the extrusion component descends to a lower height, the third motor will also descend to a lower height. The avoidance groove can prevent the third motor from colliding with the bottom support plate.
[0021] Furthermore, a cooling device is provided on the side of the extruder body, and a cold air outlet is provided below the cooling device, with the cold air outlet aligned with the extrusion port.
[0022] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: the cooling device can simultaneously cool the extruder body and the printing substrate, and the cold air outlet is aligned with the extrusion port. Therefore, the printing substrate extruded from the extrusion port in the molten state can be cooled and solidified by the cold air blown out of the cold air outlet by the cooling device, which further improves the stability of the printed parts during the printing process. It eliminates the need to add an extra internal support structure when printing tubular and rotating models, and the integrity of the printed product is also guaranteed.
[0023] Furthermore, the extruder body is provided with ventilation holes.
[0024] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the heat emitted by the extruder body is dissipated through the vent holes, thus ensuring a safe working environment for the extruder body.
[0025] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0026] The extrusion rotary platform 3D printer is a new type of additive manufacturing equipment based on fused deposition modeling technology. The innovation of this design lies in the use of a rotary platform design, which achieves continuous molding by means of a rotating worktable. This improves the limitations of the reciprocating motion of traditional Cartesian coordinate system 3D printers. It also changes the situation of traditional fixed platform 3D printers, which are prone to collapse, have low precision and low efficiency when printing tubes and rotating parts, and require the addition of internal support.
[0027] By coordinating the movement of the moving and rotating components, the printing path exhibits continuous rotation characteristics, making it particularly suitable for high-speed prototyping of axisymmetric models. It also boasts high motion continuity, as the unidirectional uniform rotation of the rotating platform replaces the reciprocating motion of the traditional XY plane, reducing idle running time.
[0028] By optimizing the symmetry of the 3D printer structure and utilizing the inertia of rotation to achieve uniform material accumulation, stress concentration between layers is avoided, the mechanical properties of cylindrical parts are improved, the support structure is simplified, and rotating parts can be formed without internal support, saving material consumption and reducing the complexity of post-processing. Through multiple experiments, it has been proven that the extrusion-type rotary platform 3D printer of this invention improves the printing efficiency by an average of 23.18% compared with traditional 3D printers when printing tubular and rotating models, and the model integrity reaches 100%.

[0042] Example:
[0043] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the extrusion rotary platform 3D printer includes a support assembly 1, a moving assembly 2, an extrusion assembly 3, and a rotating assembly 4;
[0044] Support assembly 1 includes a lower housing 101, an upper housing 104, and support columns 105. Multiple support columns 105 are installed above the lower housing 101, and the upper housing 104 is installed above the support columns 105. The upper housing 104 is fixedly connected to the lower housing 101 through the support columns 105.
[0045] The moving component 2 includes a lead screw 201, a first motor 202, and a moving support plate 203. The lead screw 201 is mounted above the first motor 202 and passes through the moving support plate 203 and engages with the moving support plate 203.
[0046] The extrusion assembly 3 includes an extruder body 301, a feed inlet 302, a heated extrusion device 303, and an extrusion port 304. The feed inlet 302 is installed on the top of the extruder body 301, the heated extrusion device 303 is installed below the extruder body 301, and the extrusion port 304 is provided below the heated extrusion device 303.
[0047] The rotating assembly 4 includes a rotating disk 401, a rotating disk mounting shaft 402, and a driven gear 403. The rotating disk 401 is mounted above the rotating disk mounting shaft 402, and the driven gear 403 is provided on the outer side of the rotating disk mounting shaft 402.
[0048] In this invention, the moving component 2 can control the extrusion component 3 to move in the X, Y, and Z axis directions, while the rotating component 4 can control the printed part to rotate in a circle. This makes printing tubular and rotating models simpler and faster, avoids unnecessary movement, improves the flexibility, speed and accuracy of printing, and avoids the problems of print body collapse and shrinkage that occur when printing tubular and rotating models in the medical and industrial manufacturing fields.
[0049] Support component 1 provides mounting positions for other components, providing support for the overall structure and serving as the foundation for connecting other components. The lower housing 101 and upper housing 104 protect the internal wiring, preventing damage to the overall function caused by external impacts to delicate components such as circuits. Support column 105 connects the lower housing 101 and upper housing 104, making them a unified whole. Moving component 2 controls the movement of extrusion component 3. The first motor 202 drives the lead screw 201 to rotate, which meshes with the moving support plate 203. When the lead screw 201 rotates, the moving support plate 203 moves up and down, precisely controlling the height of extrusion component 3. This allows extrusion component 3 to accurately perform layer-by-layer printing. After each layer is printed, extrusion component 3 moves up or down to complete the next layer's printing operation. This ensures that extrusion component 3 maintains an accurate relative position throughout the printing process, guaranteeing printing accuracy and the stability of the material extrusion effect. The moving support plate 203 is made of 316 stainless steel, providing wear resistance and corrosion resistance. The first motor 202 is model 20HM20-1004S. This model of motor has many advantages, such as stable output power, high torque, and low operating noise, which can meet the working requirements of the moving support plate 203 under different working conditions. Based on today's working conditions and through calculations, the lead screw 201 is model SFK1002. This model of lead screw has the characteristics of high precision, high rigidity, and low friction coefficient, which can effectively improve the transmission accuracy and operational stability of the moving support plate 203. The extrusion assembly 3 can stably execute the feeding program. The extruder body 301 can transport the printing substrate. The printing substrate enters the extruder body 301 through the feed port 302, and then the printing substrate is heated by the heating extrusion device 303, so that the printing substrate can be smoothly extruded from the extrusion port 304 below the extruder body 301. The rotating component 4, through the rotation of the rotating disk 401, can reduce the moving distance and frequency of the extrusion component 3 during the printing of tubular and rotating body models, ensuring printing stability and printing efficiency. The rotating disk mounting shaft 402 can ensure that the rotating disk 401 can rotate smoothly.
[0050] Multiple experiments have demonstrated that the extrusion-type rotary platform 3D printer of this invention improves the printing efficiency by an average of 23.18% compared to traditional 3D printers when printing tubular and rotating models, and achieves 100% model integrity.

[0054] Specifically, the support guide groove 1051 and the support plate limiting protrusion 2031 slide together, so that the movable support plate 203 can be locked inside the support column 105. The movable support plate 203 is slidably connected to the movable guide column 204 through the guide sleeve 205. The support plate limiting protrusion 2031 and the movable guide column 204 can simultaneously limit the movable support plate 203, so that it can always move along the Z-axis direction without regional tilting, further ensuring the stability of the extrusion component 3 during the printing process, and allowing the extrusion component 3 to move smoothly on the Z-axis.

[0056] Specifically, the second rotating shaft 208, driven by the second motor 207, can drive the Y-axis belt 209 to rotate. The third motor support frame 212 is mounted on the Y-axis belt 209 via the Y-axis belt clip 2121. When the Y-axis belt 209 rotates, the third motor support frame 212 moves along the Y-axis moving rail 210, realizing the Y-axis movement of the extrusion assembly 3.

The extrusion assembly 3 is mounted on the X-axis belt 215 via the X-axis belt clip 3011. When the X-axis belt 215 rotates, the extrusion assembly 3 moves along the X-axis moving rail 216. The movement of the extrusion assembly 3 along the X-axis is achieved by the second motor 207 and the third motor 213 working together to ensure the smoothness of the linear motion of the extrusion assembly 3 along the X and Y axes and the high precision of repeatability positioning. The second motor 207 and the third motor 213 are both SGM7G-75EA6C models. Through calculations including power determination, V-belt selection, pulley diameter and belt speed calculation, reference length and center distance determination, wrap angle verification, and torque verification, it can be proven that the SGM7G-75EA6C motor can meet all constraints. Furthermore, the overall structure of the moving assembly 2 is simple, the operation is stable, and the noise is low, effectively improving the printing speed and dynamic response performance, and providing a reliable guarantee for high-quality printing.
[0057] The moving component 2 also includes a lead screw fixing device 2011, which fixes the lead screw 201 to the inside of the upper housing 104. The lead screw 201 is rotatably connected to the upper housing 104, and the first motor 202 is installed inside the lower housing 101.
[0058] Specifically, the lead screw 201 is rotatably connected to the upper housing 104 via the lead screw fixing device 2011. The lead screw 201 is made of 304L stainless steel, specifically model SFK1002, which has high strength and is also rust-proof.

A fourth motor 406 is provided on the fourth motor mounting bracket 407. The fourth motor 406 is fixedly connected to the small wheel mounting shaft 405.
[0060] Specifically, multiple driving pinions 404, driven by multiple fourth motors 406, run along a specific trajectory at the same speed. The driving pinions 404 mesh with the driven large gear 403, which in turn drives the rotating disk 401 above the driven large gear 403 to rotate at an angle. To ensure the accuracy of the rotating platform, this design uses a high-precision gear system, which makes the rotation of the rotating disk 401 smooth and accurate, thereby further improving the stability and accuracy of the overall printing process. After experimental calculations, the fourth motor 406 is selected as a heavy-duty worm gear micro DC geared motor. After checking the moment of inertia and torque, it is confirmed that it meets the stability and accuracy requirements of the rotating platform. The driven large gear 403 and the driving pinion 404 are made of 40Cr and 45 steel respectively to ensure strength and durability. The rationality of the design is verified by calculating the transmission ratio, tooth profile parameters and bending strength.
[0061] The lower housing 101 has an avoidance groove 108 on its inner side.
[0062] Specifically, the avoidance groove 108 provides movement space for the third motor 213. When the extrusion assembly 3 descends to a lower height, the third motor 213 will also descend to an even lower height. The avoidance groove 108 can prevent the third motor 213 from colliding with the bottom support plate 107.
[0063] A cooling device 305 is provided on the side of the extruder body 301, and a cold air outlet 306 is provided below the cooling device 305, which is aligned with the extrusion port 304.
[0064] Specifically, the cooling device 305 can simultaneously cool the extruder body 301 and the printing substrate. The cold air outlet 306 is aligned with the extrusion port 304. Therefore, the printing substrate extruded from the extrusion port 304 in the molten state can be cooled and solidified by the cold air blown out of the cold air outlet 306 by the cooling device 305, which further improves the stability of the printed parts during the printing process. This eliminates the need to add an extra internal support structure when printing tubular and rotating models, and also ensures the integrity of the printed product.
[0065] The extruder body 301 is provided with a vent hole 3012.
[0066] Specifically, the heat emitted by the extruder body 301 is dissipated through the vent 3012, ensuring a safe working environment for the extruder body 301.
