Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of 3D printer technology, and in particular to a filament management mechanism for 3D printing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] A 3D printer is a rapid prototyping device that creates three-dimensional objects by layering together adhesive materials (such as plastics, metal powders, etc.) based on digital model files. Its core technology is cumulative manufacturing technology, and it is widely used in industrial design, medical, aerospace and other fields.

[0003] Existing 3D printers require a power cord for operation, but the power cord is quite long, which can cause excess wire to tangle and become knotted. To address this issue, we propose a wire management mechanism for 3D printing equipment. Utility Model Content

[0006] Preferably, the winding mechanism includes a winding column, the inner wall of the storage compartment is fixedly connected to the winding column, and the surface of the winding column is covered with a cushioning rubber sleeve, the surface of which is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0007] Preferably, there are two winding columns fixed in the storage compartment, and a fixing stud is fixedly connected above the two winding columns, and a limiting nut is sleeved on the surface of the fixing stud.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting baffle has a through hole adapted to the fixing stud, and the limiting baffle is installed between the winding post and the limiting nut.

[0009] Preferably, the shielding mechanism includes a shielding plate, which covers the upper part of the storage compartment, and positioning posts are fixedly connected to the four lower corners of the shielding plate, and guide blocks are fixedly connected to the four corners of the inner wall of the storage compartment.

[0010] Preferably, the positioning post is cylindrical, and the guide block has a through hole that matches the positioning post.

[0011] Preferably, the insertion mechanism includes an insertion plate, both sides of the shield are fixedly connected to the insertion plate, and the outer side of the end of the insertion plate is fixedly connected to a limit block, and both sides of the storage compartment are fixedly connected to a snap-fit ​​frame.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This device allows the power cord to be placed in the storage compartment and easily wound up using a winding post. A buffer sleeve provides cushioning and protection, while a limiting baffle is fitted onto the surface of the fixing stud, allowing the limiting nut to limit the baffle and effectively control the winding of the power cord, thus organizing excess power cord length.

[0013] 2. This device covers the storage compartment with a baffle plate, allowing the positioning pin to be inserted into the guide block for positioning the baffle plate. The plug-in plate drives the limiting block to be inserted into the snap-fit ​​frame, which allows the limiting block and the snap-fit ​​frame to engage easily. This keeps the baffle plate above the storage compartment, protecting the power cord being wound up inside. Attached Figure Description

[0016] 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.

[0017] Reference Figure 1-4 A cable management mechanism for 3D printing equipment includes a 3D printer body 1, a power cord 2 inserted into the outside of the 3D printer body 1, and the power cord 2 stored in a storage compartment 3. A winding mechanism 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage compartment 3. A limiting baffle 5 is installed above the winding mechanism 4, which can conveniently limit the winding of the power cord 2. A blocking mechanism 6 is engaged above the storage compartment 3, and plug-in mechanisms 7 are fixedly connected to both sides of the blocking mechanism 6.

[0018] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be seen that the winding mechanism 4 includes a winding column 41, the inner wall of the storage compartment 3 is fixedly connected to the winding column 41, and the surface of the winding column 41 is covered with a buffer rubber sleeve 42. The surface of the buffer rubber sleeve 42 is provided with anti-slip texture. The buffer rubber sleeve 42 covering the surface of the winding column 41 can play an anti-slip protection role when the power cord 2 is wound up.

[0019] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 It can be seen that there are two winding posts 41 fixed in the storage compartment 3. The two winding posts 41 can be fixed to facilitate the winding of the power cord 2. The two winding posts 41 are fixedly connected to the top of the two winding posts 41, and the surface of the fixed post 43 is fitted with a limiting nut 44. The limiting nut 44 can facilitate the installation of the limiting baffle 5.

[0020] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 It can be seen that the limiting baffle 5 has a through hole that matches the fixing stud 43. The limiting baffle 5 is installed between the winding post 41 and the limiting nut 44. By installing the limiting baffle 5 above the two winding posts 41, the winding power line 2 can be limited.

[0021] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be seen that the shielding mechanism 6 includes a shielding plate 61, which covers the top of the storage compartment 3. The shielding plate 61 is fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the shielding plate 61, and the four corners of the inner wall of the storage compartment 3 are fixedly connected to the guide blocks 63. The shielding plate 61 drives the positioning pins 62 to insert into the guide blocks 63, which can facilitate the positioning and installation of the shielding plate 61 and make it convenient for the shielding plate 61 to cover and shield the top of the storage compartment 3.

[0022] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be seen that the positioning post 62 is cylindrical, and the guide block 63 has a through hole that matches the positioning post 62. By making the positioning post 62 cylindrical, the wear between it and the guide block 63 can be reduced.

[0023] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be seen that the insertion mechanism 7 includes an insertion plate 71. The two sides of the shield 61 are fixedly connected to the insertion plate 71, and the outer side of the end of the insertion plate 71 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 72. The two sides of the storage compartment 3 are fixedly connected to the snap-fit ​​frame 73. The insertion plate 71 drives the limiting block 72 to be inserted into the snap-fit ​​frame 73, which can facilitate the limiting installation of the shield 61. At the same time, the limiting block 72 has a downward slope on its surface, which can facilitate the insertion of the insertion plate 71 and the snap-fit ​​frame 73.

[0024] Working principle: When this utility model is in use, when the power cord 2 is being wound up, according to the attached... Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 Appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 By placing the power cord 2 into the storage compartment 3, the power cord 2 can be wound up on the surface of the two sets of winding posts 41. At this time, the limiting baffle 5 is sleeved on the surface of the fixing stud 43, and the limiting nut 44 is sleeved on the surface of the fixing stud 43, which can facilitate the function of the limiting baffle 5. At this time, the winding power cord 2 can be limited by the limiting baffle 5. The baffle 61 drives the positioning post 62 to insert into the guide block 63, which can make the plug plate 71 drive the limiting block 72 to insert into the snap frame 73, which facilitates the function of the limiting baffle 61 and protects the winding power cord 2 in the storage compartment 3. When the power cord 2 needs to be removed, pressing the limiting block 72 can cause the plug plate 71 to undergo elastic deformation, making it easy for the plug plate 71 to drive the limiting block 72 to be removed from the snap-fit ​​frame 73. At this time, the baffle plate 61 can be removed from the storage compartment 3, and the limiting nut 44 can be removed from the fixing stud 43, so that the limiting baffle 5 can be disassembled and the power cord 2 can be removed from the surface of the winding post 41. The above is the complete working principle of this utility model.
