Connectivity components and 3D printers
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202520107380.2, filed on January 15, 2025, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] This application relates to the field of 3D printing technology, and in particular to a connection component and a 3D printer. Background Technology
[0003] 3D printing technology, also known as additive manufacturing, is a technology that uses digital model files as a basis and employs adhesive materials to construct objects layer by layer. 3D printing is typically achieved using 3D printing equipment. 3D printing equipment, also called three-dimensional printers or stereoprinters, is a type of rapid prototyping equipment.
[0004] A 3D printer includes a heated bed, a heated bed connector, and a heated bed lifting assembly, which is connected to the heated bed via the heated bed connector. The heated bed lifting assembly can drive the heated bed to move along the height direction of the 3D printer. During this movement, the heated bed lifting assembly and the heated bed connector may shift, which can affect the parallelism of the heated bed.
[0005] Existing heated bed lifting components and heated bed connectors can be decoupled using structures such as double sliders or double thrust bearings. However, double sliders result in higher friction, greater resistance, and poor decoupling effectiveness, while also introducing gaps. Double thrust bearings cannot effectively limit the transmission of rotational torque. Summary of the Invention

[0040] The specific embodiments of this application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate representative embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application.
[0041] As shown in Figure 1, this application provides a connecting component 100 for use in a 3D printer. The 3D printer utilizes FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) technology for printing. The 3D printer includes a tool head and a heated bed, and the tool head is movable. When the tool head moves to a preset position, it heats and melts a filament of thermoplastic material, which is then extruded through the nozzle of the tool head and stacked layer by layer on the heated bed from bottom to top to build an object. In this embodiment, "bottom" refers to the direction towards the bottom of the 3D printer, and "top" refers to the direction towards the top of the 3D printer. The tool head includes an extrusion assembly and a hot end. The extrusion assembly conveys the printing material supplied to the 3D printer by the feeding device to the hot end. The hot end has a heating function, heating the printing material to a molten state and extruding the molten printing material onto the heated bed.
[0042] For example, the hot end includes heat sink fins, a nozzle, and a throat located between the heat sink fins and the nozzle. The printing material passes sequentially through the heat sink fins, the throat, and the nozzle. Specifically, the printing material is heated to a molten state at the nozzle, and the nozzle extrudes the molten printing material onto the heated bed.
[0043] The 3D printer also includes a heated bed lifting assembly and a heated bed connector 201. The heated bed lifting assembly is connected to the heated bed via the heated bed connector 201. The heated bed lifting assembly adjusts the position of the heated bed along the height direction of the 3D printer. The height direction of the heated bed lifting assembly is parallel to the height direction of the 3D printer. The tool head can move along the height direction of the heated bed lifting assembly to achieve material stacking. During the movement along the printing path, the nozzle extrudes molten printing material layer by layer at different locations on the heated bed, thereby printing a three-dimensional object.
[0044] The heated bed lifting assembly drives the heated bed to move along the height direction of the 3D printer. The heated bed lifting assembly includes a lead screw 202 for driving the heated bed movement. The assembly also includes an optical axis, which is arranged parallel to the lead screw 202. The 3D printer also includes a pulley connected to the lead screw 202. Rotation of the pulley drives the lead screw 202 to rotate. A retaining pin is located at the bottom end of the lead screw 202. The retaining pin can be connected to the axis of the pulley. The cross-sectional shape of the retaining pin can be constructed as the letter "3D". Rotation of the pulley drives the retaining pin to rotate, thereby driving the lead screw 202 to rotate. The pulley can be connected to the connecting assembly 100 to prevent it from detaching. A tool head is movably connected to the lead screw 202, and the optical axis guides the movement of the tool head. The optical axis is connected to the connecting assembly 100. The bottom end of the optical axis is connected to the connecting assembly 100.
[0045] The 3D printer also includes a chamber in which a tool head and a heated bed are disposed. One end of the heated bed connector 201 is connected to the heated bed lifting assembly. Preferably, the heated bed connector 201 is located below the heated bed. The heated bed connector 201 is located below the heated bed along the height direction of the 3D printer. The other end of the heated bed connector 201 is connected to the heated bed. In this embodiment, "bottom surface of the heated bed" refers to the surface of the heated bed facing the bottom of the 3D printer.
[0046] As shown in Figure 2, the lead screw 202 is equipped with a lead screw nut 203, which is connected to the heated bed connector 201. The lead screw nut 203 can move along the height direction of the lead screw 202, thereby driving the heated bed connector 201 to move along the height direction of the lead screw 202. The optical shaft is equipped with a linear bearing, which is connected to the heated bed connector 201. The linear bearing guides the heated bed connector 201 as it moves along the height direction of the lead screw 202.
[0047] The connecting assembly 100 connects the heated bed connector 201 and the heated bed lifting assembly. The connecting assembly 100 decouples the heated bed connector 201 and the heated bed lifting assembly. In this embodiment, "decoupling" means that the connecting assembly 100 can dissolve the constraint forces in different directions experienced during movement. Specifically, the connecting assembly 100 absorbs the constraint forces in different directions experienced by the heated bed during movement. The lead screw 202 passes through the connecting assembly 100. The connecting assembly 100 is sleeved around the lead screw 202.
[0048] Specifically, the connecting assembly 100 includes a first connecting member 110, a second connecting member 130, and a moving member 150, with the moving member 150 located between the first connecting member 110 and the second connecting member 130. The stacking direction of the first connecting member 110, the moving member 150, and the second connecting member 130 of the connecting assembly 100 is parallel to the height direction of the 3D printer.
[0049] The first connecting member 110 is constructed as a plate. The thickness direction of the first connecting member 110 is parallel to the height direction of the 3D printer. The second connecting member 130 is constructed as a plate. The thickness direction of the second connecting member 130 is parallel to the height direction of the 3D printer. The moving member 150 is constructed as a plate. The thickness direction of the moving member 150 is parallel to the height direction of the 3D printer.
[0050] The first connecting member 110 is positioned above the moving member 150 along the height direction of the heated bed lifting assembly. The second connecting member 130 is positioned below the moving member 150 along the height direction of the heated bed lifting assembly. This facilitates support of the heated bed. The moving member 150 is movable between the first connecting member 110 and the second connecting member 130. The moving member 150 is movable relative to the first connecting member 110 along a first plane. The first plane is perpendicular to the height direction of the 3D printer. The moving member 150 is also movable relative to the second connecting member 130 along the first plane. The direction of movement of the moving member 150 relative to the first connecting member 110 is perpendicular to the direction of movement of the moving member 150 relative to the second connecting member 130. The moving member 150 is movable between the first connecting member 110 and the second connecting member 130 in a direction perpendicular to the stacking direction. The stacking direction is parallel to the height direction of the 3D printer. The moving member 150 is movable in different directions. This allows the moving member 150 to absorb constraint forces from different directions.
[0051] The first connecting member 110 is connected to the heated bed connector 201. The first connecting member 110 and the heated bed connector 201 are fixed together. The heated bed connector 201 and the first connecting member 110 move together. The first connecting member 110 can effectively transmit rotational torque. For ease of installation, the connecting assembly 100 also includes a first connector 173, which is used to fix the first connecting member 110 and the heated bed connector 201. The first connector 173 can be constructed as a bolt. The first connecting member 110 is provided with a heated bed connection hole 112, which passes through the first connecting member 110. The axial direction of the heated bed connection hole 112 is parallel to the axial direction of the lead screw 202. The axial direction of the heated bed connection hole 112 is parallel to the height direction of the 3D printer.
[0052] The first connecting member 110 connects to the heated bed connection hole 112. The heated bed connector 201 includes a receiving hole corresponding to the heated bed connection hole 112. The axial direction of the receiving hole is parallel to the axial direction of the heated bed connection hole 112. The first connecting member 173 connects to the receiving hole. The first connecting member 173 connects the heated bed connection hole 112 and the receiving hole. As an optional embodiment, the first connecting member 110, the heated bed connector 201, and the first connecting member 173 are connected together by a threaded connection. The first connecting member 173 is provided with an external thread, the heated bed connection hole 112 is provided with an internal thread, and the receiving hole is provided with an internal thread. The external thread of the first connecting member 173, the internal thread of the heated bed connection hole 112, and the internal thread of the receiving hole are connected together.
[0053] The second connecting member 130 is connected to the heated bed lifting assembly. The second connecting member 130 is fixed to the heated bed lifting assembly. The heated bed lifting assembly and the second connecting member 130 move together. The second connecting member 130 can effectively transmit rotational torque. For ease of installation, the connecting assembly 100 also includes a second connector 174 for fixing the second connecting member 130 and the heated bed lifting assembly. The second connector 174 can be constructed as a bolt. The second connecting member 130 is provided with a lifting connection hole that extends through the second connecting member 130. The axial direction of the lifting connection hole is parallel to the axial direction of the lead screw 202. The axial direction of the lifting connection hole is parallel to the height direction of the 3D printer. The second connecting member 130 connects to the lifting connection hole.
[0054] The heated bed lifting assembly includes a lead screw nut 203 connected to a lead screw. Rotation of the lead screw drives the lead screw nut 203 to move axially along the lead screw 202. Specifically, the lead screw nut 203 can move linearly along the height direction of the 3D printer. A second connecting member 174 can also fix the second connecting member 130 and the lead screw nut 203. As shown in Figure 3, the lead screw nut 203 is provided with a nut connecting hole 204, which corresponds to the lifting connecting hole. The axial direction of the nut connecting hole 204 is parallel to the axial direction of the lifting connecting hole.
[0055] The second connector 174 connects to the nut connecting hole 204. The second connector 174 connects the lifting connecting hole and the nut connecting hole 204. In an optional embodiment, the second connector 174, the heated bed lifting assembly, and the second connector 174 are connected together by a threaded connection. The second connector 174 has an external thread, the lifting connecting hole has an internal thread, and the nut connecting hole 204 has an internal thread. The external thread of the second connector 174, the internal thread of the lifting connecting hole, and the internal thread of the nut connecting hole 204 are connected together.
[0056] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the moving member 150 and the first connecting member 110 can move relative to each other along a first direction D1. The first direction D1 is parallel to a first plane. The moving member 150 can move relative to the first connecting member 110 along the first direction D1. The first connecting member 110 can move relative to the moving member 150 along the first direction D1. The first direction D1 is perpendicular to the height direction of the 3D printer. The first direction D1 can be parallel to the first radial direction of the lead screw 202. The first direction D1 can be parallel to the width direction of the 3D printer. The width direction of the 3D printer is perpendicular to the height direction of the 3D printer. The first direction D1 can be parallel to the X-axis direction of the 3D printer. In this way, the moving member 150 can absorb the constraint forces from different directions experienced by the heated bed during movement, ensuring uniform force on the lead screw at any position in the circumferential direction of rotation. This improves the rotational positioning accuracy, ensuring that the heated bed connector 201 can move linearly with high precision along the axial direction of the lead screw 202, reducing layer patterns and printing errors during the 3D printing process.
[0057] The moving member 150 and the second connecting member 130 are movable relative to each other along a second direction D2. The second direction D2 is perpendicular to the first direction D1. The second direction D2 is parallel to the first plane. The moving member 150 is movable relative to the second connecting member 130 along the second direction D2. The second connecting member 130 is movable relative to the moving member 150 along the second direction D2. The second direction D2 is perpendicular to the height direction of the 3D printer. The second direction D2 can be parallel to the second radial direction of the lead screw 202. The second direction D2 can be parallel to the depth direction of the 3D printer. The depth direction of the 3D printer is perpendicular to the height direction of the 3D printer. The second direction D2 can be parallel to the Y-axis direction of the 3D printer. In this way, the moving member 150 can absorb the constraint forces from different directions experienced by the heated bed during movement, ensuring uniform force on the lead screw at any position in the circumferential direction of rotation. This improves the rotational positioning accuracy, ensuring that the heated bed connector 201 can move linearly with high precision along the axial direction of the lead screw 202, reducing layer texture and printing errors during the 3D printing process.
[0058] When the lead screw nut 203 experiences fluctuations due to the lead screw 202 not being straight or other manufacturing tolerances, its movement in the first direction D1 will not affect the heated bed connector 201, thus achieving decoupling. The moving member 150 and the first connecting member 110 move relative to each other along the first direction D1, enabling movement in the first direction D1. When the lead screw nut 203 experiences fluctuations due to the lead screw 202 not being straight or other manufacturing tolerances, its movement in the second direction D2 will not affect the heated bed connector 201, thus achieving decoupling. The moving member 150 and the second connecting member 130 move relative to each other along the second direction D2, enabling movement in the second direction D2. The moving member 150 and the first connecting member 110 move relative to each other along the first direction D1, and the moving member 150 and the second connecting member 130 move relative to each other along the second direction D2, enabling movement in both directions D1 and D2, thus combining to achieve movement in both directions and forming a complete planar motion.
[0059] The first connecting member 110 and the heated bed connector 201 do not rotate relative to each other, thus effectively transmitting torque. The moving member 150 and the first connecting member 110 do not rotate relative to each other, thus effectively transmitting torque. The second connecting member 130 and the heated bed lifting assembly do not rotate relative to each other, thus effectively transmitting torque.
[0060] According to the present application, the connection component 100 is used for a 3D printer. The 3D printer also includes a heated bed, a heated bed connector 201, and a heated bed lifting assembly. The heated bed lifting assembly is connected to the heated bed through the heated bed connector 201. The heated bed lifting assembly can drive the heated bed to move along the height direction of the 3D printer. The connection component 100 includes a first connecting member 110, a second connecting member 130, and a moving member 150. The first connecting member 110 is connected to the heated bed connector 201, the second connecting member 130 is connected to the heated bed lifting assembly, and the moving member 150 is located between the first connecting member 110 and the second connecting member 130. The moving member 150 is movable relative to the first connecting member 110 and the second connecting member 130 along a first plane, which is perpendicular to the height direction. In this way, the connecting component 100 is easy to manufacture, the connecting component 100 can stably transmit the power transmission of the heated bed lifting component, the connecting component 100 can stably transmit the power transmission of the heated bed lifting component to the heated bed connector 201, the moving component 150 can effectively transmit torque, and can also realize movement along the first plane perpendicular to the height direction. While ensuring stable transmission of height direction movement, the movement along the first plane perpendicular to the height direction eliminates tolerances and fluctuations, making the movement more precise.
[0061] Further, as shown in Figure 4, the movable member 150 includes a first surface 151 facing the first connecting member 110. The first surface 151 faces the first connecting member 110 along the axial direction of the lead screw 202. The first surface 151 is provided with a first guide structure, which faces the first connecting member 110. The connecting assembly 100 also includes a first rolling member 171, which is connected to the first guide structure. The first rolling member 171 is capable of rolling relative to the movable member 150 along a first direction D1.
[0062] As an optional implementation, the first guide structure includes a first groove 153 facing the first connecting member 110. The first groove 153 is recessed from the first surface 151. The first groove 153 is recessed from the first surface 151 in a direction away from the first connecting member 110 along the axial direction of the lead screw 202. The opening direction of the first groove 153 faces the first connecting member 110. The extending direction of the first groove 153 is parallel to the first direction D1. Of course, the first guide structure may also include other structures, such as a slide rail or other structures that can guide the movement of the first rolling member; this application does not limit this to any particular structure.
[0063] The first rolling member 171 is located in the first groove 153. The moving member 150 is in close contact with the first connecting member 110 via the first rolling member 171. The moving member 150 can effectively transmit rotational torque. The first rolling member 171 can roll in the first groove 153. As an alternative embodiment, the first groove 153 includes a V-shaped groove or an arc-shaped groove, and the first rolling member 171 is constructed as a steel ball. The V-shaped groove or arc-shaped groove of the first groove 153 can absorb tolerances in the height direction and can be stably positioned. The first rolling member 171 can roll in the first groove 153 along the extension direction of the first groove 153. The first rolling member 171 can roll relative to the moving member 150. The first rolling member 171 can roll relative to the moving member 150 along a first direction D1. Thus, planar tolerances can be stably absorbed, and rolling friction reduces transmission resistance, making it easy to manufacture.

Furthermore, a certain gap exists between the lead screw nut 203 and the heated bed connector 201, smaller than the space required in the height direction for the second rolling member 172 to disengage from the third groove 154 and the fourth groove 131. This ensures that even without gravity constraints, the connecting assembly 100 cannot separate as the heated bed connector 201 moves along the height direction of the 3D printer, while also preventing manufacturing errors from causing assembly failures.
[0080] The constraint force may include a second force, the direction of which is parallel to the second direction D2.

[0086] When the connecting assembly 100 is assembled to the 3D printer, the first connecting member 110, the second connecting member 130, and the moving member 150 need to be fixed together first to facilitate assembly. Referring to Figure 2, the first connecting member 110, the second connecting member 130, and the moving member 150 are all detachably connected to the pre-assembly 206. The pre-assembly 206 is locked during the assembly of the first connecting member 110, the second connecting member 130, and the moving member 150, ensuring that the first connecting member 110, the second connecting member 130, and the moving member 150 are concentric and will not move, thus completing the assembly and preventing movement from obstructing the decoupled motion clearance. After assembly, the pre-assembly 206 is separated from the first connecting member 110, the second connecting member 130, and the moving member 150 and can be reused.
[0087] The first connecting member 110 includes a first pre-installation hole 175, in which the pre-installed component 206 passes. The second connecting member 130 includes a second pre-installation hole 177, in which the pre-installed component 206 passes. The first pre-installation hole 175 and the second pre-installation hole 177 correspond to each other. The first pre-installation hole 175 and the second pre-installation hole 177 correspond to each other along the axial direction of the lead screw 202.

Pre-installed component 206 passes sequentially through the first pre-installed hole 175, the movable pre-installed hole 176, and the second pre-installed hole 177 along the axial direction of the lead screw 202. Pre-installed component 206 first fixes the first connecting member 110, the second connecting member 130, and the movable member 150 together, thereby facilitating assembly into the connecting assembly 100. When the connecting assembly 100 is in normal use, pre-installed component 206 is detached from the first connecting member 110, the second connecting member 130, and the movable member 150, and gravity causes the first connecting member 110 to press against the second connecting member 130 to achieve connection.

While ensuring stable transmission of height direction movement, the movement along the first plane perpendicular to the height direction eliminates tolerances and fluctuations, making the movement more precise.
[0091] 3D printers utilize FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) technology for printing. A 3D printer consists of a tool head and a heated bed. The tool head is movable. When the tool head moves to a preset position, it heats and melts a filament of thermoplastic material, extruding it through the nozzles of the tool head and stacking it layer by layer from bottom to top on the heated bed to build the object. The tool head includes an extrusion assembly and a hot end. The extrusion assembly delivers the printing material supplied to the 3D printer by the feeding device to the hot end, which heats the printing material to a molten state and extrudes the molten material onto the heated bed.
[0092] For example, the hot end includes heat sink fins, a nozzle, and a throat located between the heat sink fins and the nozzle. The printing material passes sequentially through the heat sink fins, the throat, and the nozzle. Specifically, the printing material is heated to a molten state at the nozzle, and the nozzle extrudes the molten printing material onto the heated bed.
[0093] The 3D printer also includes a heated bed lifting assembly and a heated bed connector 201. The heated bed lifting assembly is connected to the heated bed via the heated bed connector 201.

The height direction of the heated bed lifting assembly is parallel to the height direction of the 3D printer. The tool head can move along the height direction of the heated bed lifting assembly to achieve material stacking. During the movement along the printing path, the nozzle extrudes molten printing material layer by layer at different locations on the heated bed, thereby printing a three-dimensional object.
[0094] As shown in Figure 1, the heated bed lifting assembly can drive the heated bed to move along the height direction of the 3D printer. The heated bed lifting assembly includes a lead screw 202, which drives the heated bed to move. The assembly also includes an optical axis, which is arranged parallel to the lead screw 202. The 3D printer also includes a pulley connected to the lead screw 202. Rotation of the pulley drives the lead screw 202 to rotate. A retaining pin is provided at the bottom end of the lead screw 202. The retaining pin can be connected to the axis of the pulley. The cross-sectional shape of the retaining pin can be constructed as the letter "3D". Rotation of the pulley drives the retaining pin to rotate, thereby driving the lead screw 202 to rotate. The pulley can be connected to the connecting assembly 100 to prevent it from falling off. The tool head is movably connected to the lead screw 202, and the optical axis guides the movement of the tool head. The optical axis is connected to the connecting assembly 100. The bottom end of the optical axis is connected to the connecting assembly 100.

[0096] The lead screw 202 is equipped with a lead screw nut 203, which is connected to the heated bed connector 201. The lead screw nut 203 can move along the height direction of the lead screw 202, thereby driving the heated bed connector 201 to move along the height direction of the lead screw 202. The optical shaft is equipped with a linear bearing, which is connected to the heated bed connector 201. The linear bearing guides the heated bed connector 201 as it moves along the height direction of the lead screw 202. The connecting assembly 100 connects the heated bed connector 201 and the heated bed lifting assembly. The connecting assembly 100 can absorb the constraint forces in different directions experienced by the heated bed during movement.
