Embodiment
As shown in Fig. 1 ~ Fig. 3, the present invention includes mechanical part and electronic section, wherein, mechanical part comprises roller 1, rolling wheel support 2, bearing 3 and bearing bridge 4; Electronic section comprises circuit board 9, infrared transmitter 7 and infrared remote receiver 8.
Roller 1 is arranged on rolling wheel support 2 by roller shaft, and roller 1 is connected with bearing 3 by roller shaft, and bearing 3 is arranged on bearing bridge 4.0 °, 90 °, 180 °, 270 ° directions of roller 1 have a through hole 6, and the aperture of four through holes 6 is identical, can arrange six or eight through holes etc. in other embodiments.Roller 1 is follower, and rotate with the proper motion of material silk 5 in the 3D printer course of work, during roller 1 normal rotation, its rotating speed constant magnitude is constant, if exception appears in material silk 5, will directly affect the rotating speed size of roller 1.
Infrared transmitter 7 and infrared remote receiver 8 lay respectively at the both sides of roller 1, and infrared transmitter 7 is for launching infrared signal, and infrared remote receiver 8 is for receiving the infrared signal launched by infrared transmitter 7.When roller 1 rotates, infrared transmitter 7 can successively through the through hole 6 on roller 1 with the line center of infrared remote receiver 8, when infrared transmitter 7 passes through hole 6 with the line center of infrared remote receiver 8, infrared remote receiver 8 can receive infrared signal, when infrared transmitter 7 is in the non through hole position on roller 1 with the line center of infrared remote receiver 8, infrared remote receiver 8 can not receive infrared signal.When roller 1 is by constant speed normal rotation, because the aperture of each through hole 6 is all identical, therefore, infrared remote receiver 8 can receive the time of infrared signal for fixing duration (being such as 1s) by the arbitrary through hole 6 on roller 1, in the present embodiment, this fixing duration is designated as the first interval duration; Because through hole 6 evenly arranges, therefore, the time that infrared remote receiver 8 can not receive infrared signal by the position between two through holes 6 of the arbitrary neighborhood on roller 1 is also fixing duration (being such as 2s), in the present embodiment, this fixing duration is designated as the second interval duration.
Circuit board 9 connects with infrared remote receiver 8, its for according to infrared remote receiver 8 along with the rotation of roller 1 can receive relation between the duration of infrared signal and the first interval duration, or according to infrared remote receiver 8 along with the rotation of roller 1 can not receive relation between the duration of infrared signal and the second interval duration, the mainboard of control 3D printer normally reads the data in SD card or suspends reading, concrete control procedure is: when infrared remote receiver 8 can be received infrared signal or can not receive infrared signal when infrared remote receiver 8 in the second interval duration in the first interval duration by the through hole on roller 1, the mainboard of control 3D printer normally reads the data in SD card, make digital information flow normal transmission, print job normally carries out, when infrared remote receiver 8 can to receive infrared signal time by the through hole on roller 1 more than the first interval duration or when the time that infrared remote receiver 8 can not receive infrared signal more than the second interval duration time, the mainboard of control 3D printer suspends the data read in SD card, make digital information flow suspend transmission, 3D printer stops printing.
The specific works process of 3D printer is: make 3D printer connect power supply, open the switch of 3D printer, the mainboard in 3D printer reads the data in SD card, and the digital information flow in data is passed to all parts of equipment, and equipment brings into operation.Material-extruding machine brings into operation according to the digital information flow of equipment mainboard transmission, and extrudes consumptive material (the material silk 5 namely in figure) downwards.Roller 1 owing to being follower, therefore expect silk 5 downwards proper motion time, drive roller 1 to rotate.In roller 1 rotation process, the infrared signal launched by infrared transmitter 7, by taking turns four through holes flowed through on roller 1 at intervals successively, received by infrared remote receiver 8 afterwards.If roller 1 is with constant speed normal rotation, so infrared remote receiver 8 can receive infrared signal by the through hole on roller 1 or infrared remote receiver 8 can not receive infrared signal in the second interval duration in the first interval duration, now control mainboard by circuit board 9 and normally read data in SD card, equipment normally runs, digital information flow normal transmission.If the rotating speed of roller 1 changes to some extent because expecting the exception of silk 5, so infrared remote receiver 8 can be received time of infrared signal by the through hole on roller 1 will more than the second interval duration by the time that can not receive infrared signal more than the first interval duration or infrared remote receiver 8, now circuit board 9 exports pause instruction to equipment mainboard, opertaing device mainboard stops reading the data in SD card, make digital information flow stop transmission, equipment is temporarily out of service.
