Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a spool attachment apparatus for a three-dimensional printer, and more particularly, to a spool attachment apparatus for supplying a filament, which is a raw material for producing output of a three- To facilitate the replacement of the spool attachment device.
Techniques for forming a 3D structure include a method in which a thermoplastic plastic is extruded and laminated, a laser beam is projected in a water tank (Vat) containing a liquid photocurable resin, and a molding in a water tank is made in a layer The water tank is lowered by the layer thickness every time and the laser is injected again to form a three-dimensional structure, and the resin is layered while projecting the light in the form of liquid to the liquid photo-curable resin A method of forming a three-dimensional structure by solidification, a method of forming a three-dimensional structure by extruding a liquid color ink and a curing material (binder) from a nozzle of a print head into a powder raw material by using an ink jet printer principle.
Among them, a method of extruding and laminating thermoplastic plastics is to laminate one identical liquefying raw material (plastic, wax, metal, etc.) in a designated (target) range to complete a three-dimensional structure. In this technique called FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) or FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling), the thermoplastic raw material in the filament state is supplied to the nozzle by the rotation of the roller, and the raw material is melted and extruded by the nozzle heating portion.
However, since the raw material of the filament state is a consumable item, it needs to be replaced frequently, so that not only a space for mounting the spool for supplying filaments but also a separate structure for replacing the spool is required.
As a conventional method for solving such a problem, there is a method of using a cartridge which is a structure for containing a spool. In this method, a separate cartridge casing is required, and the size of the cartridge is larger than the size of the spool Which is disadvantageous when the spool is replaced.
Next, there is a method of using a structure in which the spool is hooked to the outside of the three-dimensional printer. This method has a disadvantage in that the filament is loosened easily and twisting phenomenon occurs and a lot of dust accumulates.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a three-dimensional printer which is capable of accommodating a spool for supplying filaments, Dimensional printer which is formed on the outer side of the spool attachment device and facilitates the replacement.
The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus and method for controlling the same.
According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a spool mounting apparatus for a three-dimensional printer, the apparatus comprising: a case having an inlet formed in a case of the three-dimensional printer and the spool being mounted in the three- A spool receiving part formed at the center of the main body and having a receiving bar matched with a center hole of the spool; And a spool fixing unit coupled to one side of the inlet and releasing the fixing of the spool in a released state and fixing the spool to the spool receiving unit in a locked state.
In this case, the spool fixing portion includes a plate-shaped cover portion having a size that covers a portion of the inlet of the spool storage portion and has an inner side adjacent to the spool in the locked state; A grip portion that is formed on an outer side of the lid portion so that the user can grip the lid and determines the locked state or the unlocked state according to a user's operation; And a hinge portion that engages the cover portion with one side of the inlet of the spool storage portion and provides an elastic force to open the cover portion when the handle portion is switched to the loosened state.
The grip portion may include a cork portion formed on an outer side of the lid portion so that the grip portion can be held by a user; Wherein the cover portion is coupled to the cork portion through a hole formed in the cover portion and is switched to the locked state or the unfastened state according to an operation of the user applied to the cork portion, A hook portion which is fastened to the bar and moves away from the bar when in the unlocked state; An elastic body connected to the hook portion to provide an elastic force to be fastened to the receiving rod; And a handle inner cover disposed inside the lid portion, the handle portion and the elastic body being disposed therein, and having a diameter matched with the receiving rod.
Meanwhile, in the method of switching from the locked state to the unlocked state, as the pushing force is applied to the cork portion in the direction of the hinge portion, the hook portion is moved away from the receiving rod and the elastic force retained by the hinge portion It is a one-touch method in which the cover is opened.
In addition, the spool receiving portion further includes a separation preventing member attached to a boundary of the side wall of the cylindrical structure, which is the main body, close to the inlet, and a groove is formed at the boundary for seating the separation preventing member.
On the other hand, the inner diameter of the cylindrical structure of the spool housing portion is larger than the outer diameter of the spool and less than the outer diameter of the spool plus two times the filament diameter.
The diameter of the storage bar is 60 mm.
Embodiments of the disclosed technique may have effects that include the following advantages. It should be understood, however, that the scope of the disclosed technology is not to be construed as limited thereby, since the embodiments of the disclosed technology are not meant to include all such embodiments.
According to the spool attaching apparatus of the three-dimensional printer according to the present invention, when the spool for supplying the filament as the raw material for producing the output of the three-dimensional printer is accommodated, the entrance of the storing space is formed inside the three- So that the spool can be easily replaced and the foreign matter adheres to the filament, thereby preventing the nozzle outlet from clogging. Further, by providing the size of the storage space at a size suitable for mounting the spool, it is possible to reduce the phenomenon that the filament is released to the outside of the spool, thereby preventing the twist of the filament.
