Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of 3D printing equipment, and in particular to an AI voice-controlled food printer. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN103511232A discloses a bidirectional peristaltic pump, including a peristaltic part and a power part that drives the peristaltic part. The power part includes a motor and a power output shaft. The peristaltic part is provided with a protective cover for protecting the peristaltic part. The peristaltic part includes a peristaltic wheel and a peristaltic rod. The peristaltic rod is movably sleeved on the peristaltic wheel. This discloses a peristaltic pump with an existing structure. However, existing 3D printing equipment using peristaltic pumps requires changing the tubing for different printed products due to the requirements of printing materials and colors. Moreover, the existing peristaltic pump is complicated to disassemble and takes a long time. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, in response to the above problems, this utility model proposes an AI voice-controlled food printer, which solves the technical problems of complex and time-consuming disassembly of existing peristaltic pumps.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an AI voice-controlled food printer, comprising a frame, a support platform at the bottom of the frame, a movable plate above the support platform, a y-axis moving platform for driving the movable plate to move back and forth, a nozzle above the movable plate, a feeding mechanism above the nozzle, an x-axis moving platform for driving the nozzle to move laterally, and a z-axis moving platform for driving the x-axis moving platform to move longitudinally. The feeding mechanism includes a support frame connected to the x-axis moving platform, a delivery pump within the support frame, bottom blocks on both sides of the bottom of the delivery pump, an insert block fixed to the support frame and cooperating with the bottom block, a slot at the top of the insert block, a limiting block in the middle of the insert block, a latching component that slides with the slot of the insert block, and a slot at the bottom of the latching component for insertion.

[0005] Furthermore, the latching component includes a slider that is slidably connected to the insertion slot, a stop for limiting the slider from sliding out of the slot, two inverted fasteners located in the middle of the slider, and a spring located between the inverted fasteners and the slider.

[0006] Furthermore, the pump includes a pump casing, a central hole in the middle of the pump casing, a bracket rotatably disposed in the middle of the pump casing, a roller rotatably disposed in the bracket, a motor for driving the bracket to rotate, pipe holes disposed on both sides of the pump casing and connected to the central hole, a pump pipe for passing through the pipe holes and fitting with the roller, and a sealing plate detachably disposed on one side of the pump casing.

[0007] Furthermore, the pump casing has a square groove at the pipe hole, and a locking block is inserted into the square groove of the pump casing.

[0008] Furthermore, the side of the card block closest to the tube hole is arc-shaped.

[0009] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0010] When installing the delivery pump in this AI voice-controlled food printer, simply place the bottom block of the delivery pump above the insert block. As the inverted fasteners pass through the slots and move downwards under the force of gravity, the two inverted fasteners, influenced by the limiting block, will move laterally to both sides. The inverted fasteners are then locked inside the bottom block, and the delivery pump is quickly fixed in the support frame. Then, tighten the adjusting bolts in the stepped holes to complete the quick assembly and disassembly of the delivery pump, solving the problem of complex and time-consuming disassembly of existing peristaltic pumps.

[0021] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] refer to Figures 1 to 10This embodiment provides an AI voice-controlled food printer, including a frame, a support platform 1 at the bottom of the frame, a movable plate 2 above the support platform 1, a y-axis moving platform 3 for driving the movable plate 2 to move back and forth, a printhead 4 above the movable plate 2, a feeding mechanism 5 above the printhead 4, an x-axis moving platform 6 for driving the printhead 4 to move laterally, and a z-axis moving platform 7 for driving the x-axis moving platform 6 to move longitudinally. The feeding mechanism 5 includes a support frame 8 connected to the x-axis moving platform 6, a delivery pump 9 inside the support frame 8, bottom blocks 10 on both sides of the bottom of the delivery pump 9, an insert block 11 fixed to the support frame 8 and cooperating with the bottom block 10, a slot 111 on the top of the insert block 11, a limiting block 112 in the middle of the insert block 11, a latching member 12 that slides with the slot 111 of the insert block 11, and a slot 101 at the bottom of the latching member for insertion of the latching member 12.

[0023] The latching member 12 includes a slider 121 that is slidably connected to the slot 111 of the insert 11, a stop 122 for limiting the slider 121 from sliding out of the slot 111, two inverted fasteners 123 located in the middle of the slider 121, and a spring 124 located between the inverted fasteners 123 and the slider 121.

[0024] When the delivery pump 9 needs to be disassembled, loosen and unscrew the adjusting bolt in the stepped hole at the bottom of the delivery pump 9. After that, pull the delivery pump 9 upward. Since the slider 121 is slidably connected to the slot 111 inside the insert block 11, when the delivery pump 9 moves upward, it drives the bottom block 10 to move upward. The undercut 123 and the slider 121 that cooperate with the slot 101 at the bottom of the bottom block 10 will move upward. When the slider 121 moves to the top of the insert block 11, the stop block 122 contacts the inner wall of the insert block 11. The two undercut 123 move above the limit block 112. Under the action of the spring 124, the two undercut 123 move towards the center and stick together. The undercut 123 will not be in contact with the bottom block 112. When the bottom slot 101 contacts, the bottom block 10 will separate from the inverted fastener 123 and the insert block 11, allowing for quick disassembly of the delivery pump 9. This facilitates the replacement or maintenance of the pump pipe inside the delivery pump 9. When the delivery pump 9 needs to be installed, place the bottom block 10 of the delivery pump 9 above the insert block 11. As the inverted fastener 123 will pass through the slot 101 and move downwards under the force of gravity, the two inverted fasteners 123 will move laterally to the sides due to the influence of the limiting block 112. The inverted fasteners 123 will be locked in the bottom block 10, and the delivery pump 9 will be quickly fixed in the support frame 8. Then, tighten the adjusting bolt in the stepped hole to complete the quick fixing of the delivery pump 9.

[0025] The pump 9 includes a pump housing 901, a central hole 902 located in the middle of the pump housing 901, a bracket 903 rotatably located in the middle of the pump housing 901, a roller 904 rotatably located in the bracket 903, a motor 905 for driving the bracket 903 to rotate, pipe holes 906 located on both sides of the pump housing 901 and connected to the central hole 902, a pump pipe 907 for passing through the pipe hole 906 and fitting with the roller 904, and a sealing plate 908 detachably located on one side of the pump housing 901.

[0026] The pump housing 901 is provided with a square groove 909 at the pipe hole 906, and a locking block 910 is inserted into the square groove 909 of the pump housing 901.

[0027] In use, first pass the pump pipe through the pipe hole on one side of the pump casing, and then pass it out through the pipe hole on the other side. Press the pump pipe inside the pump casing toward the central hole. After that, press the bracket with rollers into the pump casing. The rollers on the outside of the bracket will squeeze and fit the pump pipe. Then pull the pump pipe to both sides and tighten it. At this time, insert the locking block into the square groove. One side of the locking block will lock into and fit the outside of the pump pipe. Then install the motor on the other side of the pump casing and install the sealing plate on one side of the pump casing to close it. The pump casing installation is now complete. This delivery pump is small in size and is easy to install in the support frame when used with the base block, insert block and fastener.

[0028] The locking block 910 has an arc shape on the side near the pipe hole 906. The locking block is conducive to clamping the pump pipe, and the arc shape on one side of the locking block is conducive to fitting the pump pipe. The pump housing has a stepped hole 911 in the middle, and the pump housing has an adjusting bolt 912 at the stepped hole for mates with the support frame. When the adjusting bolt is used in conjunction with the bottom block, insert block and buckle, the pump housing is installed more firmly, and disassembly and assembly only requires removing one bolt, making disassembly and assembly quicker and more convenient.

[0029] A terminal main control unit module and an audio input module can be added to the bottom of the frame. The terminal main control unit module is electrically connected to the mobile platform and the printhead, enabling voice control and printing of corresponding products. The principles of the terminal main control unit module and audio input module mentioned in this application have been disclosed in the authorized invention case "A 3D printer voice human-computer AI interaction method" (CN114691074A), so this application will not repeat them. Other existing technologies can also be used, which are all known technologies and will not be described again.
