具有共同打印的互连件的节点及其生产方法
相关申请的交叉引用
本申请要求于2017年6月9日提交的标题为“NODE WITH CO-PRINTEDINTERCONNECT AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING SAME”的美国专利申请号15/619,379的权益,所述申请通过引用明确地整体并入本文。
技术领域
本公开总体上涉及用于将组件连接至节点的增材制造技术,并且更具体地涉及用于共同打印节点和用于将节点连接至组件的互连件的增材制造技术。
背景技术
增材制造(AM)工艺涉及逐层累积一种或多种材料以制造3维物体。AM技术能够从各种各样的材料制造复杂的组件。典型地,独立的物体由计算机辅助设计(CAD)模型制成。使用CAD模型,AM工艺可以通过使用激光束来烧结或熔化粉末材料,其然后将粉末颗粒粘合在一起,从而创建出固态三维物体。在AM工艺中,可以使用诸如工程塑料、热塑性弹性体、金属和陶瓷的不同的材料或材料组合来创建独特形状的三维物体。
存在几种不同的打印技术。一种这样的技术被称为选择性激光熔化(selectivelaser melting)。选择性激光熔化涉及在低于粉末材料熔点的温度下熔合(烧结)粉末颗粒。更具体而言,激光扫描粉末床并将粉末熔化在一起,其中结构是期望的,并且避免扫描其中切片数据(sliced data)指示不打印任何东西的区域。该过程可重复数千次直至形成期望的结构,其后将打印的部分从制造器中移除。
随着AM工艺不断改进,更复杂的机械制造商开始研究在其设计中使用增材制造的部件的益处。这是因为,以低成本实现有效率且有效果的制造工艺是许多行业制造部门的永恒目标。例如,涉及运输结构零件的汽车工业、飞机制造等行业不断从事于节约成本的优化,并且寻求改进制造工艺的机会。连接部件就是这样一个被证明是难以优化的区域。例如,常规的制造工艺依靠使用像焊接这样的技术来将单独的部件连接在一起,这些技术可能需要昂贵的材料并且可能是时间密集的(time intensive)。因此这些行业的从业人员不断寻求这种技术的改进和潜在替代方案。
3D打印或AM工艺的最新进展已经呈现了以相对有竞争力的成本构建多种类且宽范围的从简单到复杂部件的新机会。利用AM,可以使用以前在传统制造工艺中不可用的不同复合材料。这些材料可能比可用的前任材料更轻或更具成本效益。然而,出于各种原因,诸如焊接的常规技术可能不是用于这些新材料中的一些的可行替代方案。因此,将增材制造的部件连接至常规的商业组件可能是困难的。
发明内容
在下文中将参考3D打印技术来更全面地描述用于将增材制造的节点连接至组件的技术的几个方面。
设备的一个方面包括增材制造的节点。该设备包括与节点共同打印的增材制造的互连件。互连件被构造为将节点连接至组件。
设备的另一方面包括增材制造的第一节点和第二节点。该设备包括与第一节点和第二节点共同打印的增材制造的互连件。互连件被构造为将第一节点和第二节点连接至管。
方法的另一方面将增材制造的节点连接至组件。该方法打印节点。该方法与节点共同打印互连件。节点和互连件通过增材制造工艺共同打印。该方法接收组件。该方法使用互连件将节点连接至组件。
方法的另一方面将增材制造的节点连接至管,该方法打印第一节点和第二节点。该方法与第一节点和第二节点共同打印互连件。第一节点和第二节点以及互连件通过增材制造工艺共同打印。该方法接收管。使用互连件,该方法将第一节点和第二节点连接至管。
应当理解的是,根据下面的详细描述,与增材制造的节点共同打印互连件的其他方面对于本领域技术人员来说将变得显而易见,其中通过例示的方式仅示出并描述了若干实施例。如本领域技术人员将认识到的,与增材制造的节点共同打印互连件能够具有其他和不同的实施例,并且其多个细节能够在各种其他方面进行修改,而所有这些都不脱离本发明。因此,附图和详细描述本质上被认为是说明性的而不是限制性的。

具体实施方式
下面结合附图阐述的详细描述旨在提供用于共同打印节点和互连件的增材制造技术的各种示例性实施例的描述,并且不旨在表示可以实践本发明的唯一实施例。贯穿本公开内容使用的术语“示例性”意思是“用作示例、实例或图示”,并且不一定被解释为相对于本公开中呈现的其他实施例是优选的或有利的。该详细描述包括具体细节,以用于向本领域技术人员提供充分传达本发明的范围的彻底和完整的公开的目的。然而,可以在没有这些具体细节的情况下实践本发明。在一些情况下,公知的结构和组件可以以框图形式示出,或者完全省略,以避免模糊贯穿本公开内容呈现出的各种概念。
在连接两个或更多个部件的情况下使用增材制造向消费者提供了显著的灵活性和成本节约益处,其使得机械结构和机械化的部件的制造商能够以较低成本制造具有复杂几何结构的部件。前面描述的连接技术涉及用于连接增材制造的部件和/或商用现成(COTS)组件的工艺。增材制造部件是打印出的3D部件,其基于预编程设计通过在材料层上添加层而被打印出。前面描述的部件可以是用于组装诸如汽车的机动车辆的部件。然而,本领域技术人员将理解的是,在不脱离本发明的范围的情况下,所制造的部件可以被用于组装诸如车辆、卡车、火车、摩托车、船、飞机等的其他复杂机械产品。
通过利用增材制造技术来共同打印部件,通过应用粘合剂在制造过程中连接不同的部件和/或组件变得更加简单。增材制造提供了在部件内创建复杂结构的能力。例如,诸如节点的部件可以打印有端口,所述端口实现通过注入粘合剂来固定两个部件的能力,而不是如传统上在制造复杂产品中所做的那样将两个部件焊接在一起。
如将在本文中所讨论的,节点是增材制造的部件的示例。节点可以是任何3D打印的部件,其包括用于接收诸如管的组件的插口。该节点可以具有插口,所述插口具有被构造为将互连件保持在适当位置的内部支撑结构。这些特征可以与节点共同打印。可替选地或结合地,节点插口可以被成形为接受特定类型的组件。例如,插口的内部形状可以是圆形或燕尾形的以分别实现互连件的径向移动性或卷曲。然而,如本领域普通技术人员将理解的,在不脱离本公开的范围的情况下,可以利用多个节点/插口构造来接受各种不同类型的互连件。
图1示出了包括连接的节点和组件的设备的示例性实施例。设备100包括节点105、互连件110、插口115、注入端口125,支撑结构130和管135。互连件110包括在近端处的头部140和在远端处的轴145。
在相同的打印过程期间,节点105和互连件110被共同打印或被一起增材制造。例如,互连件110和节点105可以被设计在被传递至3D打印设备的计算机辅助设计(CAD)文件(file)中。然后3-D打印机可以处理该文件并基于该文件启动打印过程。然后可以在相同的打印过程期间打印节点/互连结构。
在打印过程期间,支撑结构130也可以被共同打印以将互连件110和节点105一起保持在插口115中。支撑结构130可以包括薄辐条(spoke)和/或突起,所述薄辐条和/或突起被构造为分开,使得互连件110然后根据插口115的构造以旋转和/或线性方式自由地运动。支撑结构130也可以被用于限制互连件110的运动。例如,突起可以被用于将互连件110的角旋转限制在特定范围内。
如所示出的那样,头部140可以是球形形状。此外,头部140与插口115一起布置以形成接合部。接合部可以是旋转接合部或线性接合部。互连件110被构造为将节点110连接至组件。在该设备的一些实施例中,组件可以是诸如管135的管。轴145可以被构造为滑入管135的端部部分。在设备100的一些实施例中,互连件110的远端可以具有被构造为在管的端部部分之上滑动的端盖。端盖可以是具有像管那样的圆柱形形状的组件,其具有被设计为与管配合的稍大的直径。尽管在该示例中管是圆柱形的,但是本领域普通技术人员将会理解,在不脱离本公开的范围的情况下,管和/或端盖布置可以利用诸如多边形的多种不同的形状。
增材制造部件提供了利用传统制造工艺中不可用的技术的能力,这些工艺通常将部件和/或组件焊接在一起。例如,像粘合剂端口125这样的复杂结构可以被打印在节点105中。粘合剂部分125可以包括从节点的外表面延伸至插口130的通道。粘合剂端口125被构造为将粘合剂材料注入由插口115和头部140形成的接合部中。当头部140以使轴145能够滑入管135的方式定位时,可以注入粘合剂材料。在设备100的一些实施例中,轴145可在粘合剂注入之前位于管135的内部。在该设备的一些实施例中,粘合剂材料可以是诸如环氧树脂、树脂或在互连件110与节点105之间形成牢固粘合的任何材料的聚合物。在该设备的一些实施例中,并且如将关于照图7讨论的,第二端口也可以被形成在增材制造的节点105中。第二端口可以是真空端口。在该设备的一些实施例中,真空端口可以包括从节点105的外表面延伸至插口115的通道,以用于在粘附过程期间实现至少部分真空环境。例如,真空端口可通过减小插口中的空气压力来帮助将通过粘合剂端口125注入的粘合剂材料拉过插口115并围绕插口115。这使得粘合剂能够以一致的方式被施加至插口115上而没有气泡或缺陷。因此,在粘附后保持部件的结构完整性。
本领域技术人员将认识到,关于图1描述的节点/互连件结构仅仅是将节点105连接至诸如管135的组件的结构的示例,并且可以在不脱离本发明的范围的情况下使用对所描述的部件的简单变化。例如,图2示出了包括连接的节点和组件的设备200的示例性实施例。设备200具有许多类似于关于图1所讨论的特征的特征。然而,互连件的头部210具有椭圆形形状,而不是关于图1描述的圆形形状。椭圆形形状可以为接合部提供不同的运动范围。因此,节点/互连件结构可以以各种不同方式设计或构造,以适应在制造复杂机械结构时可能存在的制造约束或需要。此外,本领域普通技术人员将理解的是,所分别示出的节点和互连件的插口和/或头部不需要限于上面讨论的球形或椭圆形形状。事实上,在不脱离本发明的范围的情况下,可以利用提供用于制造复杂机械结构的必要的移动性的任何适合的形状。
图3示出了具有节点和组件的设备300的示例性实施例。如所示出的那样,设备300包括各自分别类似于节点105、互连件头部140和插口130的节点305、互连件头部310和插口330。互连件头部310和插口330一起形成接合部。该接合部与图1的接合部类似。然而,其不同之处在于互连件头部310被限制为使得显著的线性运动可用,但是旋转运动被最小化。
在该设备的一些实施例中,可以施加形成粘合剂材料的混合物。例如,图4示出了具有可拆卸粘合剂混合器425的组件400。如所示出的那样,设备400包括可拆卸的粘合剂混合器425、节点405、互连件410、第一材料415、第二材料420、插口430和注入端口435。可拆卸的粘合混合器可以被连接至粘合剂端口435。第一材料415和第二材料420的混合物可以被注入至注入端口435中。然后混合物可以填充插口430,使得互连件410通过插口430粘附至节点405。可拆卸的粘合剂混合器允许在粘附过程中使用两部分式粘合剂。
如上面所讨论的,增材制造部件提供了以各种不同形状打印节点和/或互连件的能力。这提供了更大的可定制性,以满足在制造复杂机械产品时的各种需求。这种可定制性降低了成本和制造时间。
图5示出了具有燕尾接合部(dovetail joint)的设备500的示例性实施例。如所示出的那样,设备500包括节点505、互连件510、管515、插口520和卷曲器(crimper)530。节点505包括远端545和近端540。
如所示出的那样,互连件505的远端535具有被构造为在管515的端部部分之上滑动的端盖。节点510的近端540具有燕尾形状。近端540配合至诸如插口520的燕尾形插口中。插口520和近端540一起形成燕尾接合部。
如关于图1所讨论的,设备500还可以打印有支承结构,所述支承结构可以在打印之后被破坏,使得互连件505的近端540可以类似于图1的头部140和插口130那样在插口520内四处运动。同样类似的,插口520可以被构造为允许互连件510具有旋转和/或线性运动。一旦互连件535在适当位置,其经由型锻(swaging)固定。也就是说,节点505被卷曲器530变形,使得互连件505被保持在适当位置。
可选地,如上所述,设备500还可以包括注入端口和/或真空端口以施加粘合剂以将互连件510固定在适当位置。除了型锻节点505之外或代替型锻节点505,可以使用粘附过程。
通过增材制造部件,可以实现由于复杂的机械结构而不可能利用传统制造技术来实现的各种不同的形状和构造。燕尾接合部是可以通过增材制造节点和互连件而产生的构造的一个示例。如下面将要讨论的,图6示出了可以通过增材制造节点和互连件而产生的节点和互连件的另一个示例。
图6示出了具有插口的设备600的示例性实施例,所述插口具有向外的凸起。如所示出的那样,设备600包括节点605、互连件610、材料615和管620。节点605包括具有部分625的插口630,所述部分625具有向外的凸起。
在该设备的一些实施例中,插口630大致是圆柱形。互连件610包括轴670,其被连接至与插口630的开口660相对的插口630的内表面665。在该设备的一些实施例中,互连件是心轴。此外,互连件包括处于近端的头部655以及远端650。如所示出的那样,头部655可延伸超过插口630的开口。如上所述,插口630包括部分625,其具有围绕互连轴670的一部分的向外的凸起。
如所示出的,管620的端部部分被定位在互连件610之上。管620的端部部分还包括部分625,其具有围绕互连件610的轴670的向外的凸出。
注入的材料615可以是诸如硅树脂或液压流体的聚合物。如所示出的那样,材料615被施加在管620的端部部分与插口630的内表面665以及互连件610的头部655之间。
在该设备的一些实施例中,利用液压成形过程来致使管620变形。对于液压成形过程,材料615是诸如硅树脂的液压成形材料,其在管620被插入插口630中之后被注入管620中。注入的材料与互连件610结合在管620内产生压力。该压力通过沿着具有向外的凸起的插口630的部分625凸出来使管620变形。该变形在管620与节点605之间形成机械密封。在液压成形过程的终点,材料从插口630排出并且管620被连接至节点605。
在该设备的一些实施例中,可以利用多个节点来连接诸如管的组件。图7示出了具有一对节点的设备700的示例性实施例。如所示出的那样,设备700包括第一节点和第二节点705以及互连件710。节点705和互连件710通过增材制造共同打印。设备700还包括管715和注入端口720、真空端口725、至少一个滑动件730、粘合剂材料735和螺纹740。
如所示出的那样,互连件710被构造为将第一节点和第二节点705连接至管715。在该设备的一些实施例中,互连件710包括具有一个或多个滑动件730的端盖,所述滑动件730被构造为滑入管715的端部部分。例如,滑动件730可以包括被构造为滑入管715的端部部分的几个半圆形滑动件。
第一节点和第二节点705可以与端盖一起布置以形成槽,管715滑过所述槽以将管715的端部部分附接至端盖。
最左边的节点705包括注入端口720,其包括从节点的外表面延伸至槽的通道,以用于粘合剂注入。节点705还包括真空端口725,其包括从节点705中的一个的外表面延伸至槽的第二通道。注入端口720和真空口725协同工作以注入粘合剂材料735并拉动其穿过槽以将槽和管保持在适当位置。在该设备的一些实施例中,真空端口可以使至少部分真空环境能够通过槽。可以可替选地结合螺纹螺钉使用螺纹740而不是粘合剂材料735来将滑动件715保持在适当位置。
图8概念性地示出了用于将增材制造的节点连接至组件的过程800。过程800可以在增材制造打印机接收到共同打印节点和互连件的指令之后开始。
如所示出的那样,过程800打印(805处)节点。该节点可以是诸如关于图1描述的节点105的节点。过程800与节点共同打印(810处)互连件。互连件可以是诸如关于图1描述的互连件110的互连件。在该过程的一些实施例中,作为增材制造过程的一部分,节点和互连件被共同打印。该过程接收(815处)组件。组件可以是诸如关于图1描述的组件(例如,管)135的管。过程800通过互连件将节点连接(820处)至组件。
图9概念性地示出了用于将增材制造的节点连接至管的过程900。过程900可以在增材制造打印机接收到共同打印节点和互连件的指令之后开始。
如所示出的那样,过程900打印(905处)第一节点和第二节点。第一节点和第二节点可以类似于关于图7描述的第一节点和第二节点705。过程900与第一节点和第二节点共同打印(910处)互连件。互连件可以类似于关于图7描述的互连件710。在该过程的一些实施例中,作为增材制造过程的一部分,第一节点和第二节点以及互连件被共同打印。过程900接收(915处)一个管。该管可以类似于关于图7描述的管715。过程900通过互连件将第一节点和第二节点连接(在920)至管。
增材制造部件的能力提供了产生在常规制造工艺中不可用的形状、构造和结构的有利益处。例如,在常规制造工艺中,部件通常通过焊接连接。但是,通过增材制造的节点,可以打印注入和真空端口以用于施加粘合剂以附接部件。此外,可以通过共同打印接合部和互连件来提供接合部,其使节点能够被连接至诸如管的各种组件。
提供之前的描述是为了使本领域的任何技术人员能够实践本文描述的各个方面。对于本领域技术人员来说,贯穿本公开内容给出的对这些示例性实施例的各种修改将是显而易见的,并且本文所公开的概念可以应用于用于打印节点和互连件的其他技术。因此,权利要求不旨在限于贯穿本公开内容给出的示例性实施例,而是要符合与语言权利要求一致的全部范围。通过本公开所描述的示例性实施例的元件的所有结构和功能等价物均旨在被权利要求所涵盖,所述示例性实施例的所有结构和功能等同物对于本领域的普通技术人员而言是已知的或后来将是已知的。此外,在此公开的任何内容都不旨在致力于公众,不管这些公开是否在权利要求中明确记载。权利要求要素不根据35U.S.C§112(f)的规定或适用法域中的类似法律进行解释,除非该要素是使用短语“用于...的设备”明确叙述的,或者在方法权利要求的情况下,要素使用短语“用于......的步骤”来叙述。
