Description

A kind of 3D printer with more nozzle automated conversion systems
Technical field
The invention belongs to 3D printer technical field more particularly to a kind of 3D printings with more nozzle automated conversion systems Machine.
Background technology
3D printing technique be one kind based on 3D digital model files, can bond material with powdery metal or plastic etc. Material manufactures the technology of object by layer-by-layer printing.Common 3D printer is mainly beaten with single nozzle currently on the market Based on print, or multiple nozzles are integrated together, printing operation is similar with single nozzle printing, so-called more nozzle printing machines It actually refers to be integrated with multiple nozzles on single nozzle, the defect of such mode is, due to multiple nozzle existence positions On limitation, wherein when a nozzle operation, another nozzle scratches model in order to prevent, needs mobile to avoid model. In long-term use, frequent movement can lead to the fatigue loss of connector, to cause error.Simultaneously as nozzle is integrated On nozzle, influenced by position and relative motion, when nozzle overall structure does not make big change, the number of nozzle Amount has certain limitation, usually double nozzles.Meanwhile each nozzle includes independent wire feeder, heating mechanism and more A transmission parts, when multiple nozzles are integrated on a nozzle, the drive shaft of nozzle needs sizable driving force, driving negative It carries larger.This aspect needs more drive energies, on the other hand also improves the probability of generation problem.
Application No. is 201610407343.9 patent applications to disclose a kind of multi-nozzle 3D printer comprising liftable Rotary-tray, the nozzle component printed in X, Y-direction movement and six are along support arm radial direction synchronization telescope printing head, respectively Printing head forms relative rotation with pallet, and the multi-nozzle 3D printer passes through rolling particularly suitable for printing big part revolving body Ballscrew driving rotary-tray moves up and down, and realizes that the accumulation in product height, the printing head component include:5th driving Motor, drive train, at least six support arms divided equally in plane are hung with sliding block on each support arm, are connected under the sliding block It includes the 5th driving motor output shaft driving gear and six driven gears, each driven tooth to have printing head, the drive train Wheel is respectively by synchronous pulley and synchronous belt, and driving sliding block is along support arm radial motion, and each printing head is that synchronous reciprocating is straight Line moves, i.e. the 5th driving motor drives a gear wheel rotation, six pinion gears to be engaged with gear wheel, and pinion gear passes through synchronization Band, sliding block radially reciprocate, and each printing head is driven to work asynchronously.Although the printer of this kind of structure can be realized while be beaten It prints six products or prints a product simultaneously using six printing heads, but it considerably increases the volume of nozzle, and Each nozzle is connected to corresponding printed material, in print procedure three-dimensional motion and control bring inconvenience.
Application No. is 201310640307.3 patent applications to disclose a kind of 3D printer comprising printing machine platform, The printing machine platform workbench that includes holder and be fixed on holder is connected with nozzle grabbing device, the branch on holder It is placed with nozzle library on the outside of frame, movable suspension hangs at least one independent sprayer in nozzle library, is fixedly connected with and captures on nozzle The matched attachment device of apparatus structure.The attachment device can have a variety of structures form:(1) attachment device includes that nozzle both sides are opened Mouthful downward bayonet, shower nozzle fixing device is the clamp part coordinated with bayonet in grabbing device and nozzle library;(2) attachment device The cone tank of hanging sleeve and the nozzle other side including nozzle side is fixed with the hook coordinated with hanging sleeve on nozzle library, captures Device be and the close-fitting conical head of cone tank;(3) attachment device includes hanging sleeve and the nozzle other side of nozzle side Card slot is fixed with magnetic part in card slot, is fixed with the hook coordinated with hanging sleeve on nozzle library, and grabbing device is and card slot magnetic Clamp;(4) attachment device includes the hanging sleeve of nozzle side and two be oppositely arranged the opening of the nozzle other side, nozzle library On be fixed with the hook coordinated with hanging sleeve, grabbing device is two slide bars pushed by two push rods, and slide bar is pushed away by push rod The dynamic opening that is caught in is to take out and put back to nozzle out of nozzle library;(5) attachment device includes the T-piece of nozzle side, grabbing device For by motor-driven two clamp, clamp can block the inside of T-piece to take out and put back to nozzle out of nozzle library.On Stating 3D printer although realizes nozzle replacement, but its attachment device and grabbing device structure are cumbersome, and effect is replaced in nozzle movement Rate is low, and is not easy to realize the automation control for replacing nozzle.
It can be seen that the prior art is up for further improving.
