[0003] 3D printing technology uses high temperatures to melt materials, which are then stacked and dried to form objects. However, during the printing process, the internal air temperature of the equipment gradually increases, which slows down the drying speed of the materials and eventually leads to problems with the material's formation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems and shortcomings by proposing an accelerated molding device for 3D printed vehicle interior parts: the delivery pipe sends gas back into the 3D printing equipment, and during the gas flow, a temperature sensor on the partition plate monitors the temperature of the airflow, facilitating temperature monitoring, reducing the temperature of the delivered airflow, facilitating printing, avoiding the impact of high temperature on material molding, and solving the problem of temperature affecting material molding.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Example:

[0024] Reference Figure 1-5 As shown, an accelerated prototyping device for 3D printed vehicle interior parts includes a housing 1. A filter chamber 2 is located on the top of one side of the housing 1. Two disassembly grooves 3 are located at the bottom of the outer wall of one side of the housing 1. An installation groove 4 is located at the bottom of the outer wall of the other side of the housing 1. A partition plate 5 is installed on the inner wall of the housing 1 at one end of the filter chamber 2. A filter cylinder 18 is threaded into the disassembly groove 3. A fan 10 is installed on the bottom inner wall of the installation groove 4. A processing plate 14 is installed on the inner wall of the other end of the filter chamber 2. The outer wall of the housing 1 is located at one end of the filter chamber. Both the 2nd and the 4th mounting slots are equipped with sealing plates 26. The outer wall of the sealing plate 26 is equipped with a controller 27. Both ends of the partition plate 5 are equipped with connecting pipes 6. One end of each connecting pipe 6 is equipped with a solenoid valve 7. After the fan 10 starts, it drives the airflow from the delivery pipe 13 into the inlet pipe 11 on the box 1. The hot flow enters the filter chamber 2 of the box 1. Then the airflow passes through the treatment plate 14 and enters a filter cylinder 18 through the air inlet pipe 16, the air inlet slot 15 and the filter hole 21. The filter material in the filter cylinder 18 performs filtration.

[0025] The top of one side of the outer wall of the housing 1, located at the top of the partition plate 5, is connected to the output end of the fan 10 via an inlet pipe 11. A valve 12 is installed at the other end of the inlet pipe 11, and a delivery pipe 13 is connected to the other end of the valve 12.

[0026] An air inlet 8 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the housing 1 at the bottom of the partition plate 5, and a plug-in mesh 9 is inserted into the air inlet 8 on the outer wall of the housing 1. A temperature sensor 25 is installed on the outer wall of the partition plate 5 at the processing plate 14. When the solenoid valve 7 on the connecting pipe 6 at the bottom of the partition plate 5 is activated, the filter chamber 2 of the housing 1 is connected to the outside. The outside gas passes through the plug-in mesh 9 and the air inlet 8 and mixes with the heat flow, which facilitates the filtration of the gas.

[0027] Both ends of the processing plate 14 have inlet holes, and the partition plate 5 is rotatably connected to the center of the processing plate 14 with a stirring shaft 22. An impeller 23 is installed on the outer wall of the stirring shaft 22, and a motor 24 is installed on the outer wall of the housing 1. The output shaft of the motor 24 is connected to one end of the stirring shaft 22. When the motor 24 starts, it drives the stirring shaft 22 to drive the impeller 23 to rotate. The rotation of the impeller 23 accelerates the mixing of the heat flow with the outside gas, neutralizes and cools the heat flow, so that the temperature of the gas delivered to the equipment by the fan 10 is not high, which facilitates the solidification of the material and ensures the stability of the printing process.

[0028] An air inlet slot 15 is provided at one end of the top of a disassembly slot 3, and an air inlet pipe 16 is connected to the top of the air inlet slot 15. The other end of the air inlet pipe 16 is located inside the filter chamber 2 at the top of the box body 1, and a connecting slot 17 is provided at the bottom of the box body 1 at the disassembly slot 3.

[0029] A sealing cap 19 is installed on the outer wall of one end of the filter cylinder 18, and a valve 20 is installed at the center of one end of the sealing cap 19. Filter holes 21 are opened at the top and bottom ends of the filter cylinder 18, respectively located at the air inlet groove 15 and the connecting groove 17. Filter media is provided on the inner wall of the filter cylinder 18. The air enters into one filter cylinder 18 through the air inlet pipe 16, the air inlet groove 15 and the filter hole 21. The filter media in the filter cylinder 18 performs filtration. Then the gas enters into another filter cylinder 18 through the connecting groove 17 and the filter hole 21, and the filter media continues to filter.

[0030] The input end of the blower 10 is connected to one end of the valve 20 at one end of a filter cartridge 18, and the other end of the filter cartridge 18 is welded with a handle. Rotate to remove the filter cartridge 18 from the disassembly slot 3. After the sealing cover 19 is removed, the internal filter material can be replaced.

[0031] The fan 10, solenoid valve 7 and motor 24 are connected to the controller 27 by wires, and the controller 27 is connected to the power supply by wires. The temperature sensor 25 on the partition plate 5 monitors the temperature of the airflow.

[0032] Working principle: During use, the other end of the delivery pipe 13 on valve 12 at one end of the inlet pipe 11 at the output end of the housing 1 and the fan 10 is connected to the inside of the 3D printing equipment. The input end of the fan 10 is connected to valve 20 at one end of a filter cartridge 18. After the fan 10 is started, it drives the airflow from the delivery pipe 13 into the inlet pipe 11 on the housing 1. The hot air enters the filter chamber 2 of the housing 1. The connecting pipe 6 on the partition plate 5 and the solenoid valve 7 are opened, allowing the hot air to enter the processing plate 14 of the filter chamber 2. Then the airflow passes through the processing plate 14 and enters a filter cartridge 18 through the air inlet pipe 16, the air inlet groove 15 and the filter hole 21. The filter material in the filter cartridge 18 performs filtration. Then the gas passes through the connecting groove 17 and the filter hole 2. The gas enters another filter cartridge 18, where it continues to be filtered. After further filtration, the gas is drawn into the delivery pipe 13 by the input end of the blower 10. The delivery pipe 13 then sends the gas to the 3D printing equipment. During the gas flow, the temperature sensor 25 on the partition plate 5 monitors the temperature of the airflow. When the airflow temperature rises, the solenoid valve 7 on the connecting pipe 6 at the bottom of the partition plate 5 is activated, allowing the filter chamber 2 of the housing 1 to connect with the outside. The outside gas passes through the plug-in mesh 9 and the air inlet 8 and mixes with the hot flow. The motor 24 starts, driving the stirring shaft 22 to rotate the impeller 23. The rotation of the impeller 23 accelerates the mixing of the hot flow with the outside gas, neutralizing and cooling the hot flow. This ensures that the temperature of the gas delivered to the equipment by the blower 10 is not high, facilitating material solidification and ensuring the stability of the printing process.
