3D printer powder supply mechanism and its Method of printing
Technical field
This application involves a kind of 3D printings, in particular to 3D printer powder supply mechanism and its Method of printing.
Background technique
The design of current 3D printer powder supply mechanism, generally comprises, powder feeding cylinder, formation cylinder, Powder Recovery cylinder and scraper group
At.Wherein powder feeding cylinder, formation cylinder, Powder Recovery cylinder are set gradually, and are set gradually as shown in Figure 1, of course, it can be reversed.
The principle of 3D printing is successively printing, and each layer makes material melt mutually bonding forming using various heats.In conjunction with working as
The operation workflow of preceding powder supply mechanism 3D printer are as follows: when blade construction moves powder from right to left, that is, start powdering, into
Row 3D printing, and excessive powder is sent into Powder Recovery cylinder.When drawback movement, powdering is no longer carried out, after scraper resets, powder feeding
Cylinder rises certain altitude, and formation cylinder, Powder Recovery cylinder decline certain altitude, prepare powdering and 3D printing again.
The shortcomings that this 3D printing powdering structure is: scraper stroke complete for one (is divided into and promotes stroke and answer
Position stroke), 3D printing operation only occurs in propulsion stroke.Lead to that 3D printing operation does not occur in return stroke in this way, seriously
Influence the efficiency of 3D printing.

As shown in connection with fig. 2, a kind of 3D printer powder supply mechanism, including the first powder feeding cylinder 100, first successively arranged side by side
Powder Recovery cylinder 200, formation cylinder 300, the second Powder Recovery cylinder 400, the second powder feeding cylinder 500, further include a scraper, scraper is successively
It is done along the first powder feeding cylinder 100, the first Powder Recovery cylinder 200, formation cylinder 300, the second Powder Recovery cylinder 400, the second powder feeding cylinder 500
It moves back and forth, the first powder feeding cylinder 100, the first Powder Recovery cylinder 200, formation cylinder 300, the second Powder Recovery cylinder 400, the second powder feeding
500 insole portion of cylinder is not provided with push plate 600.First powder feeding cylinder 100, the first Powder Recovery cylinder 200, formation cylinder 300, the second powder
Last recovery tank 400,500 inner pushing plate 600 of the second powder feeding cylinder are driven by independent driving mechanism respectively.First powder feeding cylinder 100, second are sent
Feed powder 700 is installed in powder cylinder 500 respectively.Feed powder is separately recovered in first Powder Recovery cylinder 200, the second Powder Recovery cylinder 400
700。
The 3D printer powder supply mechanism Method of printing includes the following steps:
The first powder feeding cylinder of S1 100, which rises, prepares powder feeding, and the first Powder Recovery cylinder 200 decline certain distance prevents the material of recycling
Powder 700 is blown off;
Feed powder 700 in first powder feeding cylinder 100 is sent into formation cylinder 300 and completes powdering printing by S2 scraper, and will be extra
Feed powder 700 is sent into the recycling of the second Powder Recovery cylinder 400, and scraper marches to the other side;
The second powder feeding cylinder of S3 500, which rises, prepares powder feeding, and the second Powder Recovery cylinder 400 decline certain distance prevents the material of recycling
Powder 700 is blown off;
Feed powder 700 in second powder feeding cylinder 500 is sent into formation cylinder 300 and completes powdering printing by S4 scraper, and will be extra
Feed powder 700 is sent into the recycling of the first Powder Recovery cylinder 200, and scraper is returned to initial position, repeats aforesaid operations.
Specific implementation step is as follows: fixing tentatively blade construction initial position on the upper left side of powdering structure, from left to right defines
To promote stroke, it is defined as return stroke from right to left.In the propulsion stroke of scraper, the sequence of motion of powdering structure are as follows: the
One powder feeding cylinder rises certain distance, prepares powder feeding;First Powder Recovery cylinder declines certain distance, and useless powder is avoided to be blown off;Forming
Cylinder is completed in powdering, after the completion of printing, declines certain distance, preparation prints next time;Second Powder Recovery cylinder decline one
Set a distance recycles unspent useless powder;Scraper reaches the upper right side of powdering structure, and stroke is promoted to terminate.
In the return stroke of scraper: the second powder feeding cylinder rises certain distance, prepares powder feeding.The decline of second Powder Recovery cylinder
Certain distance prevents useless powder from being blown off, and formation cylinder is completed in powdering, after the completion of printing, declines certain distance, prepares next
Secondary printing.First Powder Recovery cylinder declines certain distance, recycles useless powder, and blade construction runs to upper left side initial position.Again
Aforesaid operations.
Powdering can be carried out in promoting stroke and return stroke and 3D printing operates.Ideally, maximum can be improved
Efficiency 50% can reduce the higher printing cost of current 3D printing technique and longer production time to a certain extent.
Further, when carrying out the printing of first time powdering, the first Powder Recovery cylinder 200 does not decline.
Without useless powder when initial, it can not decline, reduce the loss of feed powder.
