[0087] It is to be explained that the “fixed connection” can be understood as the driving member 101 and the cutting member 102 are configured to have no relative movement but can have synchronous movement, and the “hinge connection” can be understood as the driving member 101 and the cutting member 102 are configured to have relative movement and synchronous movement.

[0088] It can be understood that the cutting member 102 and the driving member 101 in the fixed connection or the hinge connection can have substantially synchronous movement, and one of the driving member 101 and the cutting member 102 can be driven by driving the other one. By driving the driving member 101 to move, the driving member 101 can further drive the cutting member 102 to move. For example, the driving member 101 and the cutting member 102 can be driven by connecting the driving member 101 with a driving unit (e.g., a motor, not shown in the figure) or by colliding the driving member 101.

[0089] Further in combination with FIG. 5, in an embodiment, the driving member 101 is configured to be arranged on a bracket 21, and the transmission channel 11 is movably arranged relative to the bracket 21.

[0090] In the embodiment, as shown in part (a) of FIG. 5, the driving member 101 is fixedly connected with the bracket 21, or as shown in part (b) of FIG. 5, the driving member 101 is hingedly connected with the bracket 21, where the hinging can be achieved through a second hinge portion 1032.

[0091] It can be understood that the driving member 101 is fixedly connected or hingedly connected with the bracket 21, the driving member 101 can be kept relatively fixed with the bracket 21, the transmission channel 11 can follow the nozzle module 1 to have relative displacement relative to the bracket 21, and the cutting member 102 is directly connected with the driving member 101 or in a cooperative relationship and is configured to be able to enter the transmission channel 11, thereby controlling the cutting member 102 to shear the consumable.

[0092] Further in combination with FIG. 6, in an embodiment, the driving member 101 is configured to be able to move linearly.

[0093] In the embodiment, the driving member 101 moves linearly along the first direction X, and the driving member 101 is further able to drive the cutting member 102 to move linearly along the first direction X to enter the transmission channel 11, thereby achieving the shearing of the consumable.

[0094] Further in combination with Fig. 7, in an embodiment, the driving member 101 is configured to be rotatable.

[0095] In the present embodiment, the driving member 101 is configured to be rotatable in a plane formed by the first direction X and the second direction Y, so as to avoid the interference of the components in the third direction Z, and make the spatial layout of the material breaking assembly 10 more reasonable. Alternatively, the driving member 101 is configured to be rotatable in a plane formed by the first direction X and the third direction Z, so as to avoid the interference of the components in the second direction Y, and make the spatial layout of the material breaking assembly 10 more reasonable.

[0096] In other embodiments, the driving member 101 can also be a composite motion capable of linear movement and rotation, for example, a composite motion capable of movement and rotation in a plane formed by the first direction X and the second direction Y, or for example, a composite motion capable of movement and rotation in a plane formed by the first direction X and the third direction Z. By using the composite motion formed by movement and rotation, the movement trajectory of the driving member 101 in space can be more finely controlled, so as to avoid the interference of other components, and help to arrange the material breaking assembly 10 in a small space, so that the overall structure is more compact.

[0097] Further in combination with Figs. 8 to 13, in an embodiment, the material breaking assembly 10 further comprises a sensor member 13, which is used to sense the motion state and / or position of the driving member 101.

[0098] It can be understood that the sensor member 13 can be various sensor members 13 with different working principles and different working modes, including but not limited to angle sensors, infrared sensors, Hall sensors, displacement sensors, photoelectric sensors, and electromagnetic sensors.

[0099] Further in combination with Fig. 8, in an embodiment, the sensor member 13 comprises a first angle sensor 1311.

[0100] In an embodiment, the first angle sensor 1311 is arranged on the driving member 101, and the first angle sensor 1311 is configured to follow the movement of the driving member 101. In other embodiments, the first angle sensor 1311 can not be arranged on the driving member 101 but connected to the driving member 101 to follow the movement through other ways.

[0101] It can be understood that the first angle sensor 1311 is a device capable of measuring and monitoring the angular change of an object or system, which can be divided into various types according to different working principles and designs, including resistance type, rotary type, optical type, magnetic type, and capacitive type encoders, etc., which can convert physical angular change into electrical signals or digital signals for measurement and control.

[0102] In an embodiment, the driving member 101 is arranged to rotate, and the first angle sensor 1311 is configured to detect a rotation angle of the driving member 101.

[0103] In an embodiment, the rotation angle of the driving member 101 corresponds to a first angle interval threshold, the first angle interval threshold has a first angle upper limit value and a first angle lower limit value, when the rotation angle of the driving member 101 is within the first angle interval threshold, and / or greater than the first angle upper limit value, and / or less than the first angle lower limit value, it is determined that the driving member 101 is rotated to a position, and according to the driving member 101 being rotated to the position, it can be indirectly considered that the material breaking member 102 is also moved to a position, at this time, it is considered that the consumable in the transmission channel 11 can be cut off.

[0104] It can be understood that, according to different relative positions between the driving member 101, the material breaking member 102 and the transmission channel 11, the rotation angle of the driving member 101 for driving the material breaking member 102 to enter and / or exit the transmission channel 11 will be different. In some embodiments, when the rotation angle of the driving member 101 is within the first angle interval threshold, the driving member 101 is rotated to a position, which can drive the material breaking member 102 to enter the transmission channel 11 and achieve shearing of the consumable, for example, 5° to 20°, for example, 10° to 30°; in other embodiments, according to the specific position relationship between the driving member 101, the material breaking member 102 and the transmission channel 11, when the rotation angle of the driving member 101 is greater than the first angle upper limit value and / or less than the first angle lower limit value, the driving member 101 is rotated to a position, which can drive the material breaking member 102 to enter the transmission channel 11 and achieve shearing of the consumable, for example, less than 10° or greater than 30°.

[0105] Further in combination with FIG. 9, in an embodiment, the sensor member 13 includes a first infrared sensor 1321. The driving member 101 is arranged to move relative to the first infrared sensor 1321, and the first infrared sensor 1321 is arranged on a movement path of the driving member 101.

[0106] It can be understood that the first infrared sensor 1321 is a kind of sensor based on infrared radiation and absorption characteristics, which can detect, measure and control the infrared radiation of an object, and can detect the reflection or transmission of infrared radiation to obtain information about the object to work.

[0107] In the present embodiment, FIG. 9 shows that the driving member 101 blocks the first infrared sensor 1321 after rotating; in other embodiments, the driving member 101 can also block the first infrared sensor 1321 after moving along a straight line or performing a composite motion of straight line motion and rotation.

[0108] In one embodiment, the first infrared sensor 1321 can be configured to be blocked by the driving member 101 and generate a corresponding first infrared blocking signal to detect the position of the driving member 101.

[0109] In one embodiment, when the range of the first infrared sensor 1321 being blocked is greater than or less than or equal to a first infrared blocking range threshold, it is determined that the driving member 101 moves to the position. According to the rotation of the driving member 101 to the position, it can be indirectly considered that the material breaking member 102 also moves to the position. At this time, it is considered that the consumable in the transmission channel 11 can be cut off.

[0110] In the present embodiment, the first infrared blocking range threshold can be, for example, a blocking area. For example, when the first infrared sensor 1321 is completely blocked, it can be determined that the driving member 101 moves to the position. According to the rotation of the driving member 101 to the position, it can be indirectly considered that the material breaking member 102 also moves to the position. At this time, it is considered that the consumable in the transmission channel 11 can be cut off. It can be understood that when the first infrared sensor 1321 is partially blocked, it can also be considered that the driving member 101 moves to the position. According to the rotation of the driving member 101 to the position, it can be indirectly considered that the material breaking member 102 also moves to the position. At this time, it is considered that the consumable in the transmission channel 11 can be cut off. In a specific embodiment, when the area of the first infrared sensor 1321 being blocked is greater than half of the total area of the first infrared sensor 1321 emitting infrared signals, it can be considered that the driving member 101 moves to the position. According to the rotation of the driving member 101 to the position, it can be indirectly considered that the material breaking member 102 also moves to the position. At this time, it is considered that the consumable in the transmission channel 11 can be cut off. By reserving some error or acceptable margin, the error in the process of processing, installation and assembly can be eliminated, which helps to improve the adaptability of the material breaking assembly 10.

[0111] In other embodiments, when the time of the first infrared sensor 1321 being blocked is greater than or less than or equal to a second infrared blocking range threshold, it is determined that the driving member 101 moves to the position. According to the rotation of the driving member 101 to the position, it can be indirectly considered that the material breaking member 102 also moves to the position. At this time, it is considered that the consumable in the transmission channel 11 can be cut off. For example, when the time of the first infrared sensor 1321 being blocked is greater than 0.5 seconds, it is determined that the driving member 101 moves to the position.

[0112] It can be understood that by judging whether the driving member 101 passes through or does not pass through the corresponding position of the first infrared sensor 1321 during movement, or the time of passing through the corresponding position of the first infrared sensor 1321, whether the driving member 101 moves to the position can be determined. According to the rotation of the driving member 101 to the position, it can be indirectly considered that the material breaking member 102 also moves to the position. At this time, it is considered that the consumable in the transmission channel 11 can be cut off.

[0113] Further in combination with FIG. 10, in an embodiment, the sensing member 13 comprises a first Hall sensor 1331. The driving member 101 is movably arranged relative to the first Hall sensor 1331, and the first Hall sensor 1331 can be configured to be blocked by the driving member 101 and generate a corresponding first Hall blocking signal to detect the position of the driving member 101.

[0114] It can be understood that the first Hall sensor 1331 is a sensor based on the Hall effect, which refers to the phenomenon that when a conductor or semiconductor material is placed in a magnetic field perpendicular to the direction of the current, a voltage difference will be generated on both sides perpendicular to the magnetic field and the current direction. This phenomenon is caused by the deflection of charge carriers under the action of the Lorentz force. Its working principle includes applying current, charge separation, forming Hall potential, signal processing, etc. It can sense and convert magnetic field changes into potential difference, and / or amplify the Hall potential and convert it into a usable current or voltage signal.

[0115] In the present embodiment, the first Hall sensor 1331 can be arranged between the driving member 101 and the nozzle assembly 12 of the nozzle module 1. Specifically, the first Hall sensor 1331 can be arranged on the frame 125 of the nozzle module 1, and the cutting member 10 and the nozzle assembly 12 are arranged at intervals and connected to the frame 125, respectively. During the movement of the driving member 101, the distance and position relative to the nozzle assembly 12 change, and thus the distance and position relative to the first Hall sensor 1331 change, thereby causing the first Hall sensor 1331 to generate a corresponding electromagnetic signal.

[0116] In an embodiment, when the range of the first Hall sensor 1331 being blocked is greater than or less than or equal to a first Hall blocking interval threshold, it is determined that the driving member 101 is moved into position. According to the rotation of the driving member 101 into position, it can be indirectly considered that the cutting member 102 is also moved into position. At this time, it is considered that the consumable in the transmission channel 11 can be cut off.

[0117] In an embodiment, the first Hall blocking interval threshold is a blocking area. For example, when the first Hall sensor 1331 is fully blocked, it can be determined that the driving member 101 is moved to the position, and according to the driving member 101 being rotated to the position, it can be indirectly considered that the material breaking member 102 is also moved to the position, at this time, it is considered that the consumable in the transmission channel 11 can be cut off. It can be understood that when the first Hall sensor 1331 is partially blocked, it can also be considered that the driving member 101 is moved to the position, and according to the driving member 101 being rotated to the position, it can be indirectly considered that the material breaking member 102 is also moved to the position, at this time, it is considered that the consumable in the transmission channel 11 can be cut off. In a specific embodiment, when the area of the first Hall sensor 1331 blocked is greater than half of the total area of the first Hall sensor 1331 generating a Hall signal, it can be considered that the driving member 101 is moved to the position, and according to the driving member 101 being rotated to the position, it can be indirectly considered that the material breaking member 102 is also moved to the position, at this time, it is considered that the consumable in the transmission channel 11 can be cut off. By reserving some error or acceptable margin, errors in the process of processing, installation and assembly can be eliminated, which helps to improve the adaptability of the material breaking assembly 10.

[0118] Alternatively, when the time of the first Hall sensor 1331 being blocked is greater than, less than or equal to a second Hall blocking interval threshold, it is determined that the driving member 101 is moved to the position, and according to the driving member 101 being rotated to the position, it can be indirectly considered that the material breaking member 102 is also moved to the position, at this time, it is considered that the consumable in the transmission channel 11 can be cut off. For example, when the time of the first Hall sensor 1331 being blocked is greater than 0.5 seconds, it is determined that the driving member 101 is moved to the position.

[0119] It can be understood that by judging whether the driving member 101 passes through or does not pass through the corresponding position of the first Hall sensor 1331 during movement, or the time of passing through the corresponding position of the first Hall sensor 1331, whether the driving member 101 is moved to the position is determined, and according to the driving member 101 being rotated to the position, it can be indirectly considered that the material breaking member 102 is also moved to the position, at this time, it is considered that the consumable in the transmission channel 11 can be cut off.

[0120] Further in combination with FIG. 11, in an embodiment, the sensor member 13 includes a first displacement sensor 1341 for sensing the displacement of the driving member 101.

[0121] It can be understood that the first displacement sensor 1341 is a device for detecting the position or displacement change of an object, which can convert these physical quantities into electrical signals output, so as to realize real-time monitoring and feedback of the position, speed and other information of the object, and its working principle depends on different physical effects, such as inductance effect, capacitance effect, piezoelectric effect, etc.

[0122] In an embodiment, the first displacement sensor 1341 is arranged on the driving member 101.

[0123] Alternatively, the driving member 101 is movably disposed relative to the first displacement sensor 1341, and the first displacement sensor 1341 is disposed on a movement path of the driving member 101.

[0124] In an embodiment, the first displacement sensor 1341 is configured to detect a movement distance of the driving member 101, and the movement distance of the driving member 101 corresponds to a first distance interval threshold, the first distance interval threshold has a first distance upper limit value and a first distance lower limit value. When the movement distance of the driving member 101 is within the first distance interval threshold, and / or greater than the first distance upper limit value, and / or less than the first distance lower limit value, it is determined that the driving member 101 is rotated to a position. According to the driving member 101 being rotated to the position, it can be indirectly considered that the cutting member 102 is also moved to a position. At this time, it is considered that the consumable in the transmission channel 11 can be cut off.

[0125] It can be understood that, according to different relative positions between the driving member 101, the cutting member 102 and the transmission channel 11, the movement distance of the driving member 101 for driving the cutting member 102 to enter and / or exit the transmission channel 11 will be different. In some embodiments, when the movement distance of the driving member 101 is within the first distance interval threshold, the driving member 101 is moved to a position to drive the cutting member 102 to enter the transmission channel 11 and achieve shearing of the consumable. In other embodiments, according to the specific positional relationship between the driving member 101, the cutting member 102 and the transmission channel 11, when the movement distance of the driving member 101 is greater than the first distance upper limit value and / or less than the first distance lower limit value, the driving member 101 is moved to a position to drive the cutting member 102 to enter the transmission channel 11 and achieve shearing of the consumable.

[0126] Further in combination with FIG. 12, in an embodiment, the sensor device 13 includes a first photoelectric sensor 1351. The first photoelectric sensor 1351 is configured to be disposed on the nozzle module 1, and the driving member 101 is movably disposed relative to the first photoelectric sensor 1351.

[0127] It can be understood that the first photoelectric sensor 1351 is a device for converting optical signals into electrical signals, and its working principle is based on the photoelectric effect, that is, when photons interact with matter, electrons are produced. When light shines on a photoelectric element, photons collide with electrons in the photoelectric element, making them gain energy and be excited, thereby generating a change in current or voltage, realizing the conversion of optical signals to electrical signals.

[0128] In an embodiment, the first photoelectric sensor 1351 can be configured to be blocked by the driving member 101 and generate a corresponding first photoelectric blocking signal to detect the position of the driving member 101.

[0129] In one embodiment, when the area blocked by the first photoelectric sensor 1351 is greater than, less than or equal to the threshold of the first photoelectric blocking interval, it is determined that the driving member 101 has moved into position. Based on the fact that the driving member 101 has rotated into position, it can be indirectly assumed that the material cutting member 102 has also moved into position. At this time, it is considered that the consumable in the transmission channel 11 can be cut off.

[0130] In this embodiment, the threshold value of the first photoelectric blocking interval is the blocking area.

[0131] In one embodiment, when the time the first photoelectric sensor 1351 is blocked is greater than, less than, or equal to the threshold of the second photoelectric blocking interval, it is determined that the driving member 101 has moved to the correct position. Based on the driving member 101 rotating to the correct position, it can be indirectly assumed that the material cutting member 102 has also moved to the correct position. At this time, it is considered that the consumable material in the transmission channel 11 can be cut off. It is understood that when the first photoelectric sensor 1351 is partially blocked, it can also be considered that the driving member 101 has moved to the correct position. Based on the driving member 101 rotating to the correct position, it can be indirectly assumed that the material cutting member 102 has also moved to the correct position. At this time, it is considered that the consumable material in the transmission channel 11 can be cut off. In a specific embodiment, when the area of ​​the first photoelectric sensor 1351 that is blocked is greater than half of the total area of ​​the first photoelectric sensor 1351 that generates the photoelectric signal, it can be considered that the driving member 101 has moved to the correct position. Based on the driving member 101 rotating to the correct position, it can be indirectly assumed that the material cutting member 102 has also moved to the correct position. At this time, it is considered that the consumable material in the transmission channel 11 can be cut off. By reserving some error or an acceptable margin, errors in the processing, installation and assembly processes can be eliminated, which helps to improve the adaptability of the material breakage assembly 10.

[0132] It is understandable that by judging whether the driving component 101 passes through or does not pass through the corresponding position of the first photoelectric sensor 1351 during the movement, or the time it takes to pass through the corresponding position of the first photoelectric sensor 1351, it can be determined whether the driving component 101 has moved to the correct position. Based on the fact that the driving component 101 has rotated to the correct position, it can be indirectly assumed that the material cutting component 102 has also moved to the correct position. At this time, it is assumed that the consumable in the transmission channel 11 can be cut off.

[0133] In one embodiment, the first photoelectric sensor 1351 is a grating-type photoelectric sensor, and / or the first photoelectric sensor 1351 is a capacitive photoelectric sensor.

[0134] In other embodiments, the first photoelectric sensor 1351 may also be other types of photoelectric sensors.

[0135] Referring further to Figure 13, in one embodiment, the sensor 13 includes a first electromagnetic sensor 1361. The drive member 101 is movably disposed relative to the first electromagnetic sensor 1361, and the first electromagnetic sensor 1361 is disposed on the movement path of the drive member 101.

[0136] It can be understood that the first electromagnetic sensor 1361 is a sensor for converting a measured physical quantity into an induced electromotive force, which mainly utilizes the principle of electromagnetic induction to achieve the purpose of speed measurement. When the measured object approaches or moves away from the first electromagnetic sensor 1361, the magnetic field distribution around the first electromagnetic sensor 1361 will change, thereby causing the change of the magnetic flux in the coil. According to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, the change of the magnetic flux will generate an induced electromotive force in the coil, thereby realizing the non-contact measurement of the measured object.

[0137] In an embodiment, the driving member 101 is configured to cause the magnetic field of the first electromagnetic sensor 1361 to change, so that the first electromagnetic sensor 1361 generates a first electromagnetic signal through magnetic field detection.

[0138] In an embodiment, the driving member 101 is configured to cause the induced current of the first electromagnetic sensor 1361 to change, so that the first electromagnetic sensor 1361 generates a second electromagnetic signal through induced current detection.

[0139] It can be understood that, according to the relative position between the driving member 101, the material breaking member 102 and the transmission channel 11, the position of the driving member 101 during the process of driving the material breaking member 102 to enter and / or exit the transmission channel 11 will be different. The first electromagnetic sensor 1361 can sense the change of the distance between the driving member 101 and the first electromagnetic sensor 1361, and generate a corresponding electrical signal to realize the in-place detection of the driving member 101.

[0140] Further in combination with FIGS. 14-16, in an embodiment, the material breaking assembly 10 further comprises a first reset member 14. The first reset member 14 is used to drive the driving member 101 to reset after movement, so that the material breaking member 102 exits the transmission channel 11.

[0141] It can be understood that the first reset member 14 and the driving member 101 have a force acting relationship, so that the first reset member 14 can apply a force to the driving member 101, so that the driving member 101 can be driven to move or have a tendency to move; the first reset member 14 is a reset structure that can be reset by elastic force, and / or a reset structure that can be reset by magnetic force.

[0142] Further in combination with FIG. 14, in an embodiment, the first reset member 14 comprises a first spring reset structure 141, and the first spring reset structure 141 is connected with and / or abuts against the driving member 101.

[0143] In an embodiment, the first spring reset structure 141 is arranged to be compressed and / or stretched along an elastic force direction, and at least one end of the first spring reset structure 141 along the elastic force direction is connected with the driving member 101 or abuts against the driving member 101.

[0144] For example, the first spring return structure 141 can be arranged on the side of the driving member 101 facing the transmission passage 11, and the first spring return structure 141 is compressed during the movement of the driving member 101 along the elastic direction towards the transmission passage 11. When the external force applied to the cutting assembly 10 is removed, the first spring return structure 141 can expand along the elastic direction under the action of its own elastic force and push the cutting assembly 10 to reset. It can be understood that the characteristics of the first spring return structure 141 that can store elastic force due to deformation and release the elastic force to return to its original state can help push the cutting assembly 10 to reset and improve the working efficiency of the cutting assembly 10.

[0145] In other embodiments, at least part of the first spring return structure 141 along the vertical elastic direction is guided and limited in position, so that when the first spring return structure 141 is compressed or stretched along the elastic direction, it will not deviate or dislocate due to its own deformation, so as to smoothly achieve its compression and expansion. It can be understood that appropriate limiting of the first spring return structure 141 can improve the accuracy of the cutting assembly 10.

[0146] Further in combination with FIG. 15, in an embodiment, the first reset member 14 includes a first torsion spring return structure 142, and the first torsion spring return structure 142 is connected with the driving member 101.

[0147] In an embodiment, the first torsion spring return structure 142 is connected with the rotating end of the driving member 101, and the first torsion spring return structure 142 is compressed or stretched following the rotation of the driving member 101.

[0148] It can be understood that when the driving member 101 drives the cutting member 102 to enter the transmission passage 11, the first torsion spring return structure 142 is compressed or stretched to store elastic force. When the external force applied to the driving member 101 is removed, the first torsion spring return structure 142 releases the elastic force and pushes the driving member 101 to reset and further drives the cutting member 102 to exit the transmission passage 11. The characteristics of the first torsion spring return structure 142 that can store elastic force due to deformation and release the elastic force to return to its original state can help push the cutting assembly 10 to reset and improve the working efficiency of the cutting assembly 10.

[0149] In an embodiment, the first torsion spring return structure 142 can be sleeved on the rotating shaft (not shown in the figure) of the driving member 101, and / or the end of the first torsion spring return structure 142 is clamped and limited by the housing (not shown in the figure) of the driving member 101 and the nozzle assembly 12, so as to achieve compression or stretching of the first torsion spring return structure 142. It can be understood that appropriate limiting of the first torsion spring return structure 142 can improve the accuracy of the cutting assembly 10.

[0150] Further in combination with Fig. 16, in an embodiment, the first reset member 14 comprises a first magnetic reset structure 143, which pushes the driving member 101 to reset by magnetic force.

[0151] In an embodiment, the first magnetic reset structure 143 comprises a first magnetic member 1431 and a second magnetic member 1432, the first magnetic member 1431 is connected with the driving member 101, and the second magnetic member 1432 is arranged in a spaced manner with the first magnetic member 1431.

[0152] In an embodiment, as shown in (a) of Fig. 16, the first magnetic member 1431 and the second magnetic member 1432 are arranged in a staggered manner along the direction from the driving member 101 to the transmission channel 11, and have the same magnetic pole arrangement. Alternatively, as shown in (b) of Fig. 16, the first magnetic member 1431 and the second magnetic member 1432 are arranged in a same row along the direction from the driving member 101 to the transmission channel 11, and have opposite magnetic pole arrangements.

[0153] It can be understood that, therefore, when the driving member 101 drives the material breaking member 102 to enter the transmission channel 11, there is a mutual repulsion trend between the first magnetic member 1431 and the second magnetic member 1432 to drive the material breaking assembly 10 to reset after the external force is removed.

[0154] In an embodiment, the first magnetic member 1431 and / or the second magnetic member 1432 is configured to be fixedly arranged to drive the material breaking assembly 10.

[0155] It can be understood that the first magnetic reset structure 143 can realize contact or non-contact reset by magnetic force, which is more flexible in spatial arrangement, thereby avoiding interference from other components, helping to arrange the material breaking assembly 10 in a small space, and making the overall structure more compact.

[0156] Further in combination with Fig. 17, in an embodiment, the material breaking member 102 is arranged in a sliding connection with the nozzle assembly 12 in the nozzle module 1. It can be understood that the nozzle assembly 12 can be provided with a sliding groove (not shown in the figure) which substantially matches the external contour of the material breaking member 102, and the material breaking member 102 is arranged in sliding connection through the sliding groove, realizing sliding cutting and retraction.

[0157] Further in combination with Fig. 18, in an embodiment, the material breaking member 102 is arranged in a rotary connection with the nozzle assembly 12 in the nozzle module 1. It can be understood that the material breaking member 102 can be movably connected with the nozzle assembly 12 through a rotary connection structure (not shown in the figure) such as a rotating shaft, so that the material breaking member 102 can be driven to rotate relative to the transmission channel 11 by external force, realizing cutting and retraction.

[0158] Further in combination with FIG. 4, in an embodiment, the cutting member 102 is configured to be arranged on the bracket 21 by the driving member 101, and the transmission channel 11 is movably arranged relative to the bracket 21. In other embodiments, the cutting member 102 can also be directly arranged on the bracket 21, and the connection mode can be fixed connection or hinged connection.

[0159] Further in combination with FIG. 17, in an embodiment, the cutting member 102 is configured to be capable of linear movement.

[0160] In the embodiment, the cutting member 102 moves linearly along the first direction X to enter the transmission channel 11, and realizes cutting of the consumable. In other embodiments, the cutting member 102 can also move linearly along the second direction Y or the third direction Z.

[0161] Further in combination with FIG. 18, in an embodiment, the cutting member 102 is configured to be capable of rotation.

[0162] In the embodiment, the cutting member 102 is configured to be capable of rotation in the plane formed by the first direction X and the second direction Y, so as to avoid interference of components in the third direction Z, and make the spatial layout of the cutting assembly 10 more reasonable. In other embodiments, the cutting member 102 can also be capable of rotation in the plane formed by the second direction Y and the third direction Z, or in the plane formed by the first direction X and the third direction Z, so as to avoid interference of components in the second direction Y, and make the spatial layout of the cutting assembly 10 more reasonable.

[0163] In other embodiments, the cutting member 102 can also be capable of linear movement and rotation, for example, capable of combined movement of linear movement and rotation in the plane formed by the first direction X and the second direction Y. By using the combined movement of linear movement and rotation, the movement trajectory of the cutting member 102 in space can be more finely controlled, so as to avoid interference of other components, and help to arrange the cutting assembly 10 in a small space, and make the overall structure more compact.

[0164] Further in combination with FIGS. 19 to 24, in an embodiment, the cutting assembly 10 further comprises a sensor 13, which is used to sense the movement state and / or position of the cutting member 102.

[0165] It can be understood that the sensor 13 can be various sensors 13 with different working principles and different working modes, which include but are not limited to angle sensors, infrared sensors, Hall sensors, displacement sensors, photoelectric sensors, and electromagnetic sensors.

[0166] It needs to be explained that the sensor 13 used to detect the driving member 101 and the sensor 13 used to detect the cutting member 102 can be the same or different, and no limitation is made to this.

[0167] Further in combination with FIG. 19, in an embodiment, the sensing device 13 comprises a second angle sensor 1312.

[0168] It can be understood that the second angle sensor 1312 is a device capable of measuring and monitoring the angular change of an object or system, which can be divided into various types according to different working principles and designs, including resistance type, rotary type, optical type, magnetic type, and capacitive type encoders, etc., which can convert physical angular change into electrical or digital signals for measurement and control. The second angle sensor 1312 can be the same as or different from the first angle sensor 1311, and can be the same sensor or a different sensor.

[0169] In an embodiment, the second angle sensor 1312 is arranged on the cutting member 102 for detecting the rotation angle of the cutting member 102. In this embodiment, the second angle sensor 1312 is configured to follow the movement of the cutting member 102. In other embodiments, the second angle sensor 1312 can also not be arranged on the cutting member 102 but connected to the cutting member 102 for following movement through other means.

[0170] In an embodiment, the rotation angle of the cutting member 102 corresponds to a second angle interval threshold, and the second angle interval threshold has a second angle upper limit value and a second angle lower limit value. When the rotation angle of the cutting member 102 is within the second angle interval threshold, and / or greater than the second angle upper limit value, and / or less than the second angle lower limit value, it is determined that the cutting member 102 is rotated to the position.

[0171] It can be understood that, according to the relative positions between the driving member 101, the cutting member 102 and the transmission channel 11, the rotation angle of the cutting member 102 entering and / or exiting the transmission channel 11 will be different. In some embodiments, when the rotation angle of the cutting member 102 is within the first angle interval threshold, the cutting member 102 enters the transmission channel 11 and realizes the shearing of the consumable, for example, 5° to 20°, for example, 10° to 30°; in other embodiments, according to the specific positional relationship between the driving member 101, the cutting member 102 and the transmission channel 11, when the rotation angle of the cutting member 102 is greater than the first angle upper limit value and / or less than the first angle lower limit value, the cutting member 102 enters the transmission channel 11 and realizes the shearing of the consumable, for example, less than 10° or greater than 30°.

[0172] Further in combination with FIG. 20, in an embodiment, the sensing device 13 comprises a second infrared sensor 1322. The cutting member 102 is movably arranged relative to the second infrared sensor 1322, and the second infrared sensor 1322 is arranged on the movement track of the cutting member 102.

[0173] It can be understood that the second infrared sensor 1322 is a sensor based on infrared radiation and absorption characteristics, which can detect, measure and control the infrared radiation of an object, and can detect the reflection or transmission of infrared radiation to obtain information about the object to work. The second infrared sensor 1322 can be the same as or different from the first infrared sensor 1321, and can be the same sensor or a different sensor.

[0174] In an embodiment, the second infrared sensor 1322 can be configured to be blocked by the cutting material 102 and generate a corresponding second infrared blocking signal to detect the position of the cutting material 102.

[0175] In an embodiment, when the range of the second infrared sensor 1322 being blocked is greater than or less than or equal to a third infrared blocking interval threshold, it is determined that the cutting material 102 is moved to the position, and at this time, it is considered that the cutting material 102 can cut off the consumables in the transmission channel 11.

[0176] In the embodiment, the third infrared blocking interval threshold is the blocking area. For example, when the second infrared sensor 1322 is completely blocked, it can be determined that the cutting material 102 is moved to the position, and at this time, it is considered that the cutting material 102 can cut off the consumables in the transmission channel 11. It can be understood that when the second infrared sensor 1322 is partially blocked, it can also be considered that the cutting material 102 is moved to the position, and at this time, it is considered that the cutting material 102 can cut off the consumables in the transmission channel 11. In a specific embodiment, when the area of the second infrared sensor 1322 being blocked is greater than half of the total area of the infrared signal emitted by the second infrared sensor 1322, it can be considered that the cutting material 102 is moved to the position, and at this time, it is considered that the cutting material 102 can cut off the consumables in the transmission channel 11. By reserving some error or acceptable margin, the error in the process, installation and assembly process can be eliminated, which helps to improve the adaptability of the cutting assembly 10.

[0177] In other embodiments, when the time of the second infrared sensor 1322 being blocked is greater than or less than or equal to a fourth infrared blocking interval threshold, it is determined that the cutting material 102 is moved to the position, and at this time, it is considered that the cutting material 102 can cut off the consumables in the transmission channel 11. For example, when the time of the second infrared sensor 1322 being blocked is greater than 0.5 seconds, it is determined that the cutting material 102 is moved to the position.

[0178] It can be understood that by judging whether the cutting material 102 passes through or does not pass through the corresponding position of the second infrared sensor 1322 during the movement process, or the time of passing through the corresponding position of the second infrared sensor 1322, whether the cutting material 102 is moved to the position can be determined, and at this time, it is considered that the cutting material 102 can cut off the consumables in the transmission channel 11.

[0179] Further in combination with FIG. 21, in an embodiment, the sensor assembly 13 includes a second Hall sensor 1332. The cutting member 102 is movably disposed relative to the second Hall sensor 1332, which can be configured to be blocked by the cutting member 102 and generate a corresponding second Hall blocking signal to detect the position of the cutting member 102.

[0180] It can be appreciated that the second Hall sensor 1332 is a Hall effect sensor, which is a transducer that converts a magnetic field into an electric voltage using the Hall effect. The Hall effect is the production of a voltage difference across an electrical conductor, transverse to an electric current in the conductor resulting from a change to the magnetic field. The Hall effect is a consequence of the Lorentz force, which dominates the motion of charged particles in a magnetic field. The Hall effect includes the application of current, charge separation, Hall potential formation, signal processing, etc. The second Hall sensor 1332 can be the same as or different from the first Hall sensor 1331, and can be the same sensor or a different sensor.

[0181] In an embodiment, when the second Hall sensor 1332 is blocked for a time greater than or less than or equal to a third Hall blocking interval threshold, it is determined that the cutting member 102 is moved into position, at which time it is considered that the cutting member 102 can cut the consumable in the transmission channel 11.

[0182] In an embodiment, the third Hall blocking interval threshold is a blocking area. For example, when the second Hall sensor 1332 is completely blocked, it can be determined that the cutting member 102 is moved into position, at which time it is considered that the cutting member 102 can cut the consumable in the transmission channel 11. It can be appreciated that when the second Hall sensor 1332 is partially blocked, it can also be considered that the cutting member 102 is moved into position, at which time it is considered that the cutting member 102 can cut the consumable in the transmission channel 11. In a specific embodiment, when the second Hall sensor 1332 is blocked for an area greater than half of the total area of the second Hall sensor 1332 generating a Hall signal, it can be considered that the cutting member 102 is moved into position, at which time it is considered that the cutting member 102 can cut the consumable in the transmission channel 11. By reserving some error or acceptable margin, errors in the process of machining, installation and assembly can be eliminated, which helps to improve the adaptability of the cutting assembly 10.

[0183] In an embodiment, when the second Hall sensor 1332 is blocked for a time greater than or less than or equal to a fourth Hall blocking interval threshold, it is determined that the cutting member 102 is moved into position, at which time it is considered that the cutting member 102 can cut the consumable in the transmission channel 11. For example, when the second Hall sensor 1332 is blocked for a time greater than 0.5 seconds, it is determined that the cutting member 102 is moved into position.

[0184] It can be understood that, by judging whether the cutting piece 102 passes through the corresponding position of the second Hall sensor 1332 or not during the movement, or the time when the cutting piece 102 passes through the corresponding position of the second Hall sensor 1332, it is determined whether the cutting piece 102 is moved to the position, at which time it is considered that the cutting piece 102 can cut off the consumable in the transmission channel 11.

[0185] Further in combination with FIG. 22, in an embodiment, the sensing device 13 includes a second displacement sensor 1342 for sensing the displacement of the cutting piece 102.

[0186] It can be understood that the second displacement sensor 1342 is a device for detecting the position or displacement change of an object, which can convert these physical quantities into electrical signals output, so as to realize the real-time monitoring and feedback of the position, speed and other information of the object. The working principle of the second displacement sensor 1342 depends on different physical effects, such as inductance effect, capacitance effect, piezoelectric effect, etc. The second displacement sensor 1342 can be the same as or different from the first displacement sensor 1341, and can be the same sensor or different sensors.

[0187] In an embodiment, the second displacement sensor 1342 is arranged on the cutting piece 102.

[0188] Alternatively, the cutting piece 102 is movably arranged relative to the second displacement sensor 1342, and the second displacement sensor 1342 is arranged on the movement path of the cutting piece 102.

[0189] In an embodiment, the second displacement sensor 1342 is used to detect the movement distance of the cutting piece 102, and the range of the movement distance of the cutting piece 102 corresponds to a second distance interval threshold value, the second distance interval threshold value has a second distance upper limit value and a second distance lower limit value. When the movement distance of the cutting piece 102 is within the second distance interval threshold value, and / or greater than the second distance upper limit value, and / or less than the second distance lower limit value, it is determined that the cutting piece 102 is rotated to the position, at which time it is considered that the cutting piece 102 can cut off the consumable in the transmission channel 11.

[0190] It can be understood that, according to the relative positions between the driving piece 101, the cutting piece 102 and the transmission channel 11, the movement distance of the cutting piece 102 entering and / or exiting the transmission channel 11 will be different. In some embodiments, when the movement distance of the cutting piece 102 is within a third distance interval threshold value, the cutting piece 102 enters the transmission channel 11 and realizes the shearing of the consumable; in other embodiments, according to the specific positional relationship between the driving piece 101, the cutting piece 102 and the transmission channel 11, when the movement distance of the cutting piece 102 is greater than the first distance upper limit value and / or less than the first distance lower limit value, the cutting piece 102 enters the transmission channel 11 and realizes the shearing of the consumable.

[0191] Further in combination with FIG. 23, in an embodiment, the sensing device 13 includes a second photoelectric sensor 1352. The second photoelectric sensor 1352 is configured to be disposed on the nozzle module 1, and the cutting device 102 is movably disposed relative to the second photoelectric sensor 1352.

[0192] It can be understood that the second photoelectric sensor 1352 is a device for converting a light signal into an electrical signal, and its working principle is based on the photoelectric effect, that is, when photons interact with matter, electrons are generated. When light shines on a photoelectric element, photons collide with electrons in the photoelectric element, making them gain energy and be excited, thereby generating a change in current or voltage, realizing the conversion of a light signal into an electrical signal. The second photoelectric sensor 1352 can be the same as or different from the first photoelectric sensor 1351, and can be the same sensor or a different sensor.

[0193] In an embodiment, the second photoelectric sensor 1352 can be configured to be blocked by the cutting device 102 and generate a corresponding second photoelectric blocking signal to detect the position of the cutting device 102.

[0194] In an embodiment, when the range of the second photoelectric sensor 1352 being blocked is greater than or less than or equal to a third photoelectric blocking interval threshold, it is determined that the cutting device 102 is moved to a position, and at this time, it is considered that the cutting device 102 can cut the consumable in the transmission channel 11.

[0195] In the present embodiment, the third photoelectric blocking interval threshold is a blocking area.

[0196] In an embodiment, when the time of the second photoelectric sensor 1352 being blocked is greater than or less than or equal to a fourth photoelectric blocking interval threshold, it is determined that the cutting device 102 is moved to a position, and at this time, it is considered that the cutting device 102 can cut the consumable in the transmission channel 11. It can be understood that when the second photoelectric sensor 1352 is partially blocked, it can also be considered that the cutting device 102 is moved to a position, and at this time, it is considered that the cutting device 102 can cut the consumable in the transmission channel 11. In a specific embodiment, when the area of the second photoelectric sensor 1352 being blocked is greater than half of the total area of the second photoelectric sensor 1352 generating a photoelectric signal, it can be considered that the cutting device 102 is moved to a position, and at this time, it is considered that the cutting device 102 can cut the consumable in the transmission channel 11. By reserving some error or acceptable margin, errors in the process of machining, installation and assembly can be eliminated, which helps to improve the adaptability of the cutting assembly 10.

[0197] It can be understood that by judging whether the cutting piece 102 passes through or does not pass through the corresponding position of the second photoelectric sensor 1352 during movement, or the time of passing through the corresponding position of the second photoelectric sensor 1352, it is judged whether the cutting piece 102 moves to the position, at which time it is considered that the cutting piece 102 can cut off the consumable in the transmission channel 11.

[0198] In an embodiment, the second photoelectric sensor 1352 is a grating photoelectric sensor, and / or the second photoelectric sensor 1352 is a capacitive photoelectric sensor.

[0199] In other embodiments, the second photoelectric sensor 1352 can also be other types of photoelectric sensors.

[0200] Further in combination with FIG. 24, in an embodiment, the sensor device 13 includes a second electromagnetic sensor 1362. The cutting piece 102 is movably arranged relative to the second electromagnetic sensor 1362, and the second electromagnetic sensor 1362 is arranged on the movement path of the cutting piece 102.

[0201] It can be understood that the second electromagnetic sensor 1362 is a sensor that converts the measured physical quantity into an induced electromotive force, which mainly uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to achieve the purpose of speed measurement. When the measured object approaches or moves away from the second electromagnetic sensor 1362, it will change the magnetic field distribution around the second electromagnetic sensor 1362, thereby causing the change of magnetic flux in the coil. According to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, such a change in magnetic flux will produce an induced electromotive force in the coil, thereby realizing non-contact measurement of the measured object. The second electromagnetic sensor 1362 and the first electromagnetic sensor 1361 can be the same or different, and can be the same sensor or different sensors.

[0202] In an embodiment, the cutting piece 102 is configured to cause a change in the magnetic field of the second electromagnetic sensor 1362, so that the second electromagnetic sensor 1362 generates a third electromagnetic signal through magnetic field detection.

[0203] In an embodiment, the cutting piece 102 is configured to cause a change in the induced current of the second electromagnetic sensor 1362, so that the second electromagnetic sensor 1362 generates a fourth electromagnetic signal through induced current detection.

[0204] It can be understood that according to different relative positions between the cutting piece 102 and the transmission channel 11, the position of the cutting piece 102 during the process of entering and / or exiting the transmission channel 11 will be different. The second electromagnetic sensor 1362 can sense the change in the distance of the cutting piece 102 from it, and generate a corresponding electrical signal to realize the detection of the cutting piece 102 to the position.

[0205] Further in combination with the illustrations of FIGS. 25-27, in an embodiment, the material breaking assembly 10 further comprises a second reset member 15, the second reset member 15 is configured to drive the material breaking member 102 to reset after the movement, so that the material breaking member 102 exits the transmission channel 11.

[0206] It can be understood that the second reset member 15 and the material breaking member 102 have a force acting relationship, so that the second reset member 15 can apply force to the material breaking member 102, so that the material breaking member 102 can be driven to move or have a tendency to move; the second reset member 15 is a reset structure that can be reset by elastic force, and / or is a reset structure that can be reset by magnetic force.

[0207] Further in combination with the illustration of FIG. 25, in an embodiment, the second reset member 15 comprises a second spring reset structure 151, the second spring reset structure 151 is connected with and / or abuts against the material breaking member 102.

[0208] In an embodiment, the second spring reset structure 151 is arranged to be compressed and / or stretched along the elastic force direction, and at least one end of the second spring reset structure 151 along the elastic force direction is connected with or abuts against the material breaking member 102.

[0209] For example, the second spring reset structure 151 can be arranged on the side of the material breaking member 102 facing the transmission channel 11, the second spring reset structure 151 is compressed in the process of the material breaking member 102 moving along the elastic force direction towards the transmission channel 11, and when the external force applied to the material breaking assembly 10 is removed, the second spring reset structure 151 can expand along the elastic force direction under the action of its own elastic force and push the material breaking assembly 10 to reset. It can be understood that the characteristics of the second spring reset structure 151 being able to store elastic force due to deformation and being able to release the elastic force to return to its original state help to push the material breaking assembly 10 to reset and improve the working efficiency of the material breaking assembly 10.

[0210] In an embodiment, the second reset member 15 comprises a second spring reset structure 151, the second spring reset structure 151 is arranged to be compressed and / or stretched along the elastic force direction, and at least part of the second spring reset structure 151 along the vertical elastic force direction is guided and limited. It can be understood that appropriate limiting of the second spring reset structure 151 can improve the accuracy of the material breaking assembly 10.

[0211] Further in combination with the illustration of FIG. 26, in an embodiment, the second reset member 15 comprises a second torsion spring reset structure 152, the second torsion spring reset structure 152 is connected with the material breaking member 102, and the second torsion spring reset structure 152 is compressed or stretched following the movement of the material breaking member 102.

[0212] It can be understood that when the cutting piece 102 enters the transmission channel 11, the second torsion spring reset structure 152 is compressed or stretched to store elastic force, and when the external force applied to the driving piece 101 and / or the cutting piece 102 is removed, the second torsion spring reset structure 152 releases the elastic force and pushes the cutting piece 102 out of the transmission channel 11. The characteristics of the second torsion spring reset structure 152 that can store elastic force due to deformation and can release the elastic force to return to its original state help to reset the cutting assembly 10 and improve the working efficiency of the cutting assembly 10.

[0213] In an embodiment, the second torsion spring reset structure 152 can be sleeved on the rotating shaft of the cutting piece 102, and / or the ends of the second torsion spring reset structure 152 are clamped and limited by the cutting piece 102 and the shell of the nozzle assembly 12 to achieve compression or stretching of the second torsion spring reset structure 152. It can be understood that appropriate limiting of the second torsion spring reset structure 152 can improve the precision of the cutting assembly 10.

[0214] Further in combination with FIG. 27, in an embodiment, the second reset piece 15 includes a second magnetic reset structure 153, which pushes the cutting piece 102 to reset by magnetic force.

[0215] In an embodiment, the second magnetic reset structure 153 includes a third magnetic piece 1531 and a fourth magnetic piece 1532, the second magnetic piece 1432 is connected with the cutting piece 102, and the third magnetic piece 1531 and the fourth magnetic piece 1532 are arranged in a staggered manner along the direction from the cutting piece 102 to the transmission channel 11 and have the same magnetic pole arrangement. Alternatively, as shown in (b) of FIG. 27, the third magnetic piece 1531 and the fourth magnetic piece 1532 are arranged in the same row along the direction from the cutting piece 102 to the transmission channel 11 and have opposite magnetic pole arrangements.

[0216] In an embodiment, as shown in (a) of FIG. 27, the third magnetic piece 1531 and the fourth magnetic piece 1532 are arranged in a staggered manner along the direction from the cutting piece 102 to the transmission channel 11 and have the same magnetic pole arrangement. Alternatively, as shown in (b) of FIG. 27, the third magnetic piece 1531 and the fourth magnetic piece 1532 are arranged in the same row along the direction from the cutting piece 102 to the transmission channel 11 and have opposite magnetic pole arrangements.

[0217] It can be understood that therefore when the cutting piece 102 enters the transmission channel 11, there is a mutual repulsion trend between the third magnetic piece 1531 and the fourth magnetic piece 1532 to drive the cutting assembly 10 to reset after the external force is removed.

[0218] In an embodiment, the third magnetic piece 1531 and / or the fourth magnetic piece 1532 are configured to be fixedly arranged to drive the cutting assembly 10.

[0219] It can be understood that the second magnetic reset structure 153 can achieve contact or non-contact reset by magnetic force, which is more flexible in spatial arrangement, thereby avoiding interference from other components, helping to arrange the cutting assembly 10 in a small space, and making the overall structure more compact.

[0220] As shown in FIGS. 28-29, the present application provides a nozzle module 1 having a transmission channel 11 for transmitting a consumable (not shown), the nozzle module 1 further comprising a first support 31, a cutting assembly 32, a feeding assembly 33, and a hot end 34.

The driving member 321 is configured to move the first moving member 322 between a first position and a second position, and when moving from the first position to the second position, the first moving member 322 drives the cutting mechanism 325 to enter the transmission channel 11 from a tool feeding direction T, the feeding direction H intersects the tool feeding direction T, and the first reset mechanism 323 provides a reset force to return the first moving member 322 to the first position by magnetic force and / or elastic force.

[0223] The first position is a position where the first moving member 322 is away from the transmission channel 11 and the cutting mechanism 325 is located outside the transmission channel 11, and the second position is a position where the first moving member 322 is close to the transmission channel 11 and the cutting mechanism 325 can be located in the transmission channel 11.

[0224] It can be understood that in the nozzle module 1 of the present application, the driving member 321 is rotationally connected to the first support 31, so that the driving member 321 can be driven to rotate relative to the first support 31; the first moving member 322 is connected to the cutting mechanism 325 and is arranged closer to the transmission channel 11 than the driving member 321, the first moving member 322 can be driven by the driving member 321 to push the cutting mechanism 325 to intrude into the transmission channel 11 to cut the consumable; the first reset mechanism 323 connects the first moving member 322 and the first support 31, and the first reset mechanism 323 drives the first moving member 322 to drive the cutting mechanism 325 to exit the transmission channel 11 by magnetic force and / or elastic force, so that the first moving member 322 and the cutting mechanism 325 are reset, facilitating subsequent processing.

It can be understood that the specific structure of the heat dissipation part 341, the heating part 342 and the nozzle part 343 can be a known and feasible scheme, which will not be described here.

[0229] Further in combination with FIGS. 29-31, in an embodiment, the driving member 321 includes a first end portion 3211, a second end portion 3212, and a force applying portion 3213 arranged in sequence. The first end portion 3211 is rotationally connected to the first support 31 via a rotation shaft 3214, and the second end portion 3212 is configured to be driven to rotate the driving member 321 along the rotation shaft 3214. The force applying portion 3213 is located between the first end portion 3211 and the second end portion 3212, and is located on a side of the driving member 321 facing the first moving member 322 and the transmission channel 11. The force applying portion 3213 is in contact with the first moving member 322, and is configured to push the first moving member 322.

[0230] In the present embodiment, the side surface 3225 of the first support 31 has an opening structure 313, and the length direction of the opening structure 313 is substantially along the feeding direction H of the transmission channel 11. The driving member 321 is arranged substantially along the feeding direction H of the transmission channel 11, and is matchedly arranged at the opening structure 313. The first end portion 3211 has a substantially arc-shaped outer surface, and is accommodated in an arc-shaped groove of the first support 31. The rotation shaft 3214 penetrates the first support 31 and the first end portion 3211, so that the first end portion 3211 can rotate relative to the first support 31. The second end portion 3212 is arranged at one end of the driving member 321, and the force applying portion 3213 can be a structure protruding towards the side where the first moving member 322 is located.

[0231] It can be understood that the second end portion 3212 can move to collide with other units (e.g., the Z-axis support of the 3D printing device 2) along with the nozzle module 1. After being collided, the second end portion 3212 is driven to move towards the side where the transmission channel 11 is located. The driving member 321 rotates around the connection part of the first end portion 3211 and the rotation shaft 3214 towards the side where the transmission channel 11 is located, and then the force applying portion 3213 located between the first end portion 3211 and the second end portion 3212 moves towards the side where the transmission channel 11 is located, so as to push the first moving member 322 and the material breaking mechanism 325 to move towards the transmission channel 11.

[0232] In an embodiment, the nozzle module 1 further includes a second reset mechanism 324, which is a torsion spring. The second reset mechanism 324 is sleeved on the rotation shaft 3214 and arranged between the rotation shaft 3214 and the first end portion 3211. The second reset mechanism 324 is configured to be in a compressed state when the material breaking mechanism 325 intrudes into the transmission channel 11.

[0233] It can be understood that the first end portion 3211 can be a hollow structure (not shown in the figure), so that the shaft 3214 and the shell of the first end portion 3211 have a gap (not shown in the figure) capable of accommodating the torsion spring. The torsion spring is arranged in the gap, and the posture of the torsion spring is adjusted so that the torsion spring is in a compressed state when the cutting mechanism 325 invades the transmission channel 11. Therefore, when the force applied to the driving member 321 to deflect it towards the side where the transmission channel 11 is located disappears, the driving member 321 can be reset under the elastic driving of the second reset mechanism 324, thereby improving the driving accuracy of the driving member 321 and improving the cutting accuracy of the consumables.

[0234] In an embodiment, the first support 31 has a bottom end 312, and the first moving member 322 is arranged on the bottom end 312. The first moving member 322 is provided with a guide hole 3226 penetrating in the feeding direction H of the transmission channel 11, and a guide column 3227 is arranged to penetrate the guide hole 3226 and fixedly connected to the first support 31 through the bottom end 312. The first moving member 322 is configured to move along the feed direction T, and the guide column 3227 is configured to be accommodated in the guide hole 3226 when the first moving member 322 moves along the feed direction T.

[0235] In an embodiment, the first moving member 322 includes a force receiving end 3221 and a connecting end 3222 arranged at intervals along the feed direction T.

[0236] In the embodiment, the cutting mechanism 325 is a blade, one end of the cutting mechanism 325 is inserted into the connecting end 3222 and fixedly connected to the first moving member 322, one end of the cutting mechanism 325 is a blade head 3251 for invading the transmission channel 11 to cut the consumables, and the blade head 3251 of the cutting mechanism 325 is designed to be relatively wide and flat along the feed direction T. Specifically, the blade angle of the blade head 3251 can be 15° to 60°, and further can be 20°, 25°, 30°, 35°, 40°, 45°, 50°, or 55°. It can be understood that within the range, the smaller the blade angle, the smaller the cross-sectional area of the blade head 3251, the greater the corresponding shearing force, and the easier it is to cut the consumables; at the same time, within the range, the greater the blade angle, the higher the strength of the blade head 3251, and the better the durability.

[0237] In an embodiment, the first moving piece 322 comprises a top surface 3223, a bottom surface 3224, and two side surfaces 3225. The top surface 3223 and the bottom surface 3224 are arranged at opposite sides of the first moving piece 322, and the two side surfaces 3225 are arranged at opposite sides of the first moving piece 322. The top surface 3223, the bottom surface 3224, and the two side surfaces 3225 are arranged between the force receiving end 3221 and the connecting end 3222. The bottom surface 3224 is in contact with the bottom end 312 and is slidable relative to the bottom end 312, and the two side surfaces 3225 are slidable relative to the first support 31. A guide hole 3226 penetrates the top surface 3223 and the bottom surface 3224 along the feeding direction H of the transmission channel 11. The guide hole 3226 has a first accommodating cavity 32261 and a second accommodating cavity 32262 that are in communication. The first accommodating cavity 32261 has a smaller hole diameter than the second accommodating cavity 32262, and the second accommodating cavity 32262 is arranged closer to the top surface 3223 than the first accommodating cavity 32261. A guide column 3227 is in the shape of a bolt, comprising a screw rod 32271 and a nut 32272. The nut 32272 has an outer diameter larger than that of the screw rod 32271. The screw rod 32271 is fixedly connected to the bottom end 312 through the first accommodating cavity 32261, and the nut 32272 is accommodated in the second accommodating cavity 32262. The length of the first accommodating cavity 32261 along the feeding direction T is greater than the outer diameter of the screw rod 32271, and the length of the second accommodating cavity 32262 along the feeding direction T is greater than the outer diameter of the nut 32272.

[0238] It can be understood that, through cooperation of the guide column 3227, the guide hole 3226, and the bottom end 312, the first moving piece 322 is movably connected to the first support 31, and the first moving piece 322 can be guided and reciprocated along the feeding direction T. Specifically, the force applying end 3213 moves toward the side where the transmission channel 11 is located, the force applying end 3213 is in contact with the force receiving end 3221 and pushes the first moving piece 322. The first moving piece 322 moves along the feeding direction T toward the side where the transmission channel 11 is located under cooperation of the guide column 3227, the guide hole 3226, and the bottom end 312, and further drives the cutter head 3251 of the cutting mechanism 325 to intrude into the transmission channel 11 to cut the consumable.

[0239] In the present embodiment, the driving piece 321 and the first moving piece 322 are arranged separately, and the force applying end 3213 and the force receiving end 3221 are in separable contact. In other embodiments, the driving piece 321 and the first moving piece 322 can also be arranged integrally, and the force applying end 3213 and the force receiving end 3221 are connected.

[0240] Further in combination with FIGS. 32-34, in an embodiment, the first reset mechanism 323 drives the first moving piece 322 to reset by magnetic force. The first reset mechanism 323 comprises a first magnetic mechanism 3231 and a second magnetic mechanism 3232, the first magnetic mechanism 3231 is connected with the first moving piece 322, the second magnetic mechanism 3232 is connected with the first support 31, the first magnetic mechanism 3231 and the second magnetic mechanism 3232 are movably arranged with each other, and the first magnetic mechanism 3231 and the second magnetic mechanism 3232 are configured such that when the cutting-off mechanism 325 intrudes into the transmission channel 11, the repulsive force between the first magnetic mechanism 3231 and the second magnetic mechanism 3232 is greater than the attractive force between the first magnetic mechanism 3231 and the second magnetic mechanism 3232.

[0241] It can be understood that the first magnetic mechanism 3231 is connected with the first moving piece 322 and can act as a force receiving whole, the second magnetic mechanism 3232 is connected with the first support 31 and can act as a force receiving whole, the first magnetic mechanism 3231 and the second magnetic mechanism 3232 are movably arranged with each other, so that the first moving piece 322 can be driven by the first reset mechanism 323 to move relatively to the first support 31. When the cutting-off mechanism 325 intrudes into the transmission channel 11, the repulsive force between the first magnetic mechanism 3231 and the second magnetic mechanism 3232 is greater than the attractive force between the first magnetic mechanism 3231 and the second magnetic mechanism 3232, so that when the external force applied to the first moving piece 322 by the driving piece 321 is removed or reduced, the first moving piece 322 moves away from the transmission channel 11 under the action of the repulsive force between the first magnetic mechanism 3231 and the second magnetic mechanism 3232, so as to make the cutting-off mechanism 325 exit the transmission channel 11.

[0242] In an embodiment, the first moving piece 322 is configured to move in the feed direction T to drive the cutting-off mechanism 325 to intrude or exit the transmission channel 11. The first magnetic mechanism 3231 and the second magnetic mechanism 3232 are arranged side by side along the feed direction T, the first magnetic mechanism 3231 comprises a first magnetic pole 32311 and a second magnetic pole 32312, the first magnetic pole 32311 is arranged closer to the transmission channel 11 than the second magnetic pole 32312 along the feed direction T, the second magnetic mechanism 3232 comprises a third magnetic pole 32321 and a fourth magnetic pole 32322, the third magnetic pole 32321 is arranged closer to the transmission channel 11 than the fourth magnetic pole 32322 along the feed direction T. The first magnetic pole 32311 and the third magnetic pole 32321 are same magnetic poles, and the second magnetic pole 32312 and the fourth magnetic pole 32322 are same magnetic poles.

[0243] In the embodiment, the first magnetic mechanism 3231 and the second magnetic mechanism 3232 are bar-shaped permanent magnets with substantially equal lengths, the length directions of the first magnetic mechanism 3231 and the second magnetic mechanism 3232 are substantially parallel to the feed direction T, and the second magnetic mechanism 3232 is closer to the transmission channel 11 than the first magnetic mechanism 3231 along the feed direction T. That is, the third magnetic pole 32321 is closer to the transmission channel 11 than the first magnetic pole 32311 along the feed direction T, and the fourth magnetic pole 32322 is closer to the transmission channel 11 than the second magnetic pole 32312 along the feed direction T.

[0244] It can be understood that, when the material breaking mechanism 325 invades the transmission channel 11, the first magnetic pole 32311 and the third magnetic pole 32321 are substantially corresponding in position, the first magnetic pole 32311 and the third magnetic pole 32321 are same-name magnetic poles, and the first magnetic pole 32311 and the third magnetic pole 32321 are close to each other, so that a larger repulsive force exists between the first magnetic pole 32311 and the third magnetic pole 32321; at the same time, the second magnetic pole 32312 and the fourth magnetic pole 32322 are substantially corresponding in position, the second magnetic pole 32312 and the fourth magnetic pole 32322 are same-name magnetic poles, and the second magnetic pole 32312 and the fourth magnetic pole 32322 are close to each other, so that a larger repulsive force exists between the second magnetic pole 32312 and the fourth magnetic pole 32322. That is, a larger repulsive force exists between the first magnetic mechanism 3231 and the second magnetic mechanism 3232, and the second magnetic mechanism 3232 is closer to the transmission channel 11 than the first magnetic mechanism 3231, so that the first moving piece 322 connected with the first magnetic mechanism 3231 has a tendency to move away from the transmission channel 11 due to the repulsive force.

[0245] In an embodiment, the first reset mechanism 323 is arranged between the driving piece 321 and the material breaking mechanism 325, the first magnetic pole 32311 and the second magnetic pole 32312 are different-name magnetic poles, and the third magnetic pole 32321 and the fourth magnetic pole 32322 are different-name magnetic poles. The first magnetic mechanism 3231 and the second magnetic mechanism 3232 are configured such that, when the material breaking mechanism 325 invades the transmission channel 11, the first magnetic pole 32311 and the third magnetic pole 32321 are arranged side by side along the feed direction T, and / or the second magnetic pole 32312 and the fourth magnetic pole 32322 are arranged side by side along the feed direction T.

[0246] It can be understood that when the external force applied by the driving member 321 to the first moving member 322 is removed or reduced, the first moving member 322 moves away from the side where the transmission channel 11 is located under the repulsive force between the first magnetic mechanism 3231 and the second magnetic mechanism 3232, so that the material breaking mechanism 325 exits the transmission channel 11 until the first magnetic pole 32311 and the third magnetic pole 32321 are misaligned, and / or the second magnetic pole 32312 and the fourth magnetic pole 32322 are misaligned, and the positions of the first magnetic pole 32311 and the fourth magnetic pole 32322 correspond. Since the first magnetic pole 32311 and the fourth magnetic pole 32322 are opposite poles, there is a magnetic attraction between the first magnetic pole 32311 and the fourth magnetic pole 32322, and the first magnetic mechanism 3231 and the second magnetic mechanism 3232 tend to be in a position where the first magnetic pole 32311 and the fourth magnetic pole 32322 are close to each other, so that the first moving member 322 connected to the first magnetic mechanism 3231 has a substantially determined reset position, thereby improving the accuracy of each reset.

[0247] In an embodiment, the first support 31 has an inner side end 311 which is arranged to be spaced apart from the transmission channel 11. The first moving member 322 includes a first accommodating hole 3220 which is arranged on the side of the first moving member 322 facing the inner side end 311.

The sizes of the first accommodating hole 3220 and the second accommodating hole 3110 are matched with the sizes of the first magnetic mechanism 3231 and the second magnetic mechanism 3232 respectively, so as to avoid the first magnetic mechanism 3231 and the second magnetic mechanism 3232 from sliding in the first accommodating hole 3220 and the second accommodating hole 3110. The first magnetic pole 32311 and the second magnetic pole 32312 are one of N pole and S pole respectively, and the third magnetic pole 32321 and the fourth magnetic pole 32322 are also one of N pole and S pole respectively.

[0249] It can be understood that "same name magnetic poles" refer to two magnetic poles being N poles or S poles, and same name magnetic poles repel each other; "opposite name magnetic poles" refer to one of the two magnetic poles being an N pole and the other being an S pole, and opposite name magnetic poles attract each other.

[0250] Further in combination with FIGS. 35-37, in an embodiment, the first reset mechanism 323 drives the first moving piece 322 to reset by elastic force, and the first reset mechanism 323 comprises a first elastic piece 3233.

It can be understood that the first elastic piece 3233 is arranged between the first moving piece 322 and the first support 31, and the first elastic piece 3233 is in a compressed state when the cutting mechanism 325 intrudes into the transmission channel 11. When the external force applied by the driving piece 321 to the first moving piece 322 is removed or reduced, the first moving piece 322 moves away from the side where the transmission channel 11 is located under the action of the elastic force generated by the first elastic piece 3233, so that the cutting mechanism 325 exits the transmission channel 11.

[0252] In an embodiment, the first support 31 further comprises a guide portion 3121 protruding from the bottom end 312, and the transmission channel 11 is arranged through the guide portion 3121 along the feeding direction H. The first moving piece 322 is provided with a guide groove 3228 located between the cutting mechanism 325 and the bottom end 312, one end of the first elastic piece 3233 is accommodated in the guide groove 3228, and the other end of the first elastic piece 3233 extends out of the guide groove 3228 and abuts against the guide portion 3121.

[0253] In the embodiment, the guide groove 3228 can be recessed from the bottom surface 3224 to the top surface 3223 of the first moving piece 322, and the guide groove 3228 has a window 32281 on the side corresponding to the connecting end 3222 to expose the inside of the guide groove 3228. The first elastic piece 3233 is arranged in the guide groove 3228 and can extend out of the guide groove 3228 from the window 32281. The guide portion 3121 protrudes from the bottom end 312, and cooperates with the bottom end 312 and the inner side end 311 to accommodate and guide the first moving piece 322. The end of the first elastic piece 3233 extending out of the guide groove 3228 abuts against the side wall of the guide portion 3121, and the guide groove 3228 cooperates with the guide portion 3121 to guide the first elastic piece 3233, so that the first elastic piece 3233 can be stretched or compressed along the feeding direction T, and the reset accuracy of the first moving piece 322 is improved.

[0254] In an embodiment, the guide portion 3121 is provided with a feed slot 31210 in the feed direction T, the feed slot 31210 is communicated with the transmission channel 11, and the end of the cutting mechanism 325 away from the first moving member 322 is configured to intrude into the transmission channel 11 through the feed slot 31210.

[0255] In the embodiment, the shape of the feed slot 31210 matches the shape of the cutter head 3251 of the cutting mechanism 325, and the cutter head 3251 can extend into the transmission channel 11 through the feed slot 31210, further improving the feed accuracy.
