通过角度调整方法,可更好地将打印平台打印面的法向调整至与打印头坐标系中Z轴相匹配,以达到更好的调平效果。Through the angle adjustment method, the normal direction of the printing surface of the printing platform can be better adjusted to match the Z axis in the printing head coordinate system, so as to achieve a better leveling effect.
具体的方案为在调整步骤之前及获取步骤之后,还包括判断步骤:获取法向量np与Z轴间夹角的较小者,若该较小者大于预设阈值,则进行所述调整步骤;反之结束调平进程,且该打印平台处于水平状态。通过判断步骤前置,以避免对已处于调平好状态的打印平台执行不必要的调整步骤。The specific solution is that before the adjustment step and after the obtaining step, it further includes a judgment step: obtaining the smaller of the angle between the normal vector n p and the Z axis, and if the smaller one is greater than the preset threshold, the adjustment step is performed. ; Otherwise, the leveling process is ended, and the printing platform is in a horizontal state. The pre-determination step is used to avoid unnecessary adjustment steps for the printing platform that is already in a leveled state.
优选的方案为以P3为定点,调整点P1、P2绕y3轴旋转α角度及绕x3轴旋转角度的步骤包括:The preferred solution is to take P 3 as the fixed point, and adjust the points P 1 and P 2 to rotate around the y 3 axis by an angle of α and rotate around the x 3 axis The angle steps include:

The return signal is obtained through the trigger unit, that is, contact measurement, which can effectively improve the ranging accuracy; at the same time, the angle displacement of the cam is obtained through the angle sensor of the steering gear, and the follower is closely attached to the cam under the action of the spring restoring force, which can effectively improve the accuracy of distance measurement. The occurrence and accumulation of backhaul errors in the prior art are effectively avoided.
更优选的方案为接触触发单元为行程开关。A more preferred solution is that the contact trigger unit is a travel switch.
进一步的方案为采用上述测距装置进行测量,获取打印平台的打印面在三个支撑点处的坐标值的步骤包括:控制打印头在X-Y平面内移动至点P1、P2、P3的正上方处,获取测量点坐标值中的x、y值,驱动舵机转动以驱动行程开关向下移动直至被触发,获取测量点坐标值中z值。A further solution is to use the above-mentioned distance measuring device to measure, and the step of obtaining the coordinate values of the printing surface of the printing platform at the three supporting points includes: controlling the printing head to move to the points P 1 , P 2 , and P 3 in the XY plane. Right above, obtain the x and y values in the coordinate value of the measurement point, drive the steering gear to rotate to drive the travel switch to move down until it is triggered, and obtain the z value in the coordinate value of the measurement point.
另一个更优选的方案为测距装置的机架上安装有两个作为外连固定端口的电磁铁,两个电磁铁在可移动方向上的间距可调。便于将测距装置可拆卸地安装到三维打印装置的打印头上的同时,更好匹配不同型号的三维打印装置。Another more preferred solution is that two electromagnets are installed on the frame of the distance measuring device as external connection fixed ports, and the distance between the two electromagnets in the movable direction is adjustable.

在工作过程中,通过可拆卸地安装在打印头上的测距装置测量打印平台打印面在三个支撑点处的坐标值,从而便于后续通过控制升降机构对打印平台位置的调整,以达到调平目的;且在完成调平后,可将测距装置从打印头上拆卸,以防测距装置随打印头在打印过程中受振动而使其固定位置产生变动,影响后续调平精度,且可在打印过程中避免与打印出的三维物体产生干涉。此外,通过舵机驱动接触触发单元实现Z轴方向上位置的检测,可有效地提高测距精度。During the working process, the coordinate values of the printing surface of the printing platform at the three supporting points are measured by the distance measuring device detachably installed on the printing head, so as to facilitate the subsequent adjustment of the position of the printing platform by controlling the lifting mechanism, so as to achieve the adjustment of the printing platform. After the leveling is completed, the distance measuring device can be disassembled from the print head to prevent the fixed position of the distance measuring device from changing with the vibration of the print head during the printing process, which will affect the subsequent leveling accuracy, and It can avoid interference with the printed 3D object during the printing process. In addition, the position detection in the Z-axis direction is realized by driving the contact trigger unit by the steering gear, which can effectively improve the ranging accuracy.
具体的方案为位移转换机构为凸轮机构,凸轮机构的凸轮与舵机的输出轴传动连接,从动件的下端与接触触发单元固定连接。通过舵机角度传感器获取凸轮的角度位移,而从动件在弹簧恢复力的作用下与凸轮紧贴,二者相结合,可有效地避免现有技术中回程误差的出现与累积。The specific scheme is that the displacement conversion mechanism is a cam mechanism, the cam of the cam mechanism is drivingly connected with the output shaft of the steering gear, and the lower end of the follower is fixedly connected with the contact trigger unit. The angle displacement of the cam is obtained by the steering gear angle sensor, and the follower is in close contact with the cam under the action of the spring restoring force. The combination of the two can effectively avoid the occurrence and accumulation of return errors in the prior art.
优选的方案为测距装置通过固设在其机架上的电磁铁与打印头可拆卸地固定连接。便于测距装置与打印头的固定连接与拆卸。A preferred solution is that the distance measuring device is detachably and fixedly connected to the print head through an electromagnet fixed on its frame. It is convenient for the fixed connection and removal of the distance measuring device and the print head.

即表示Z轴与打印平面法向的夹角,当该夹角小于预设阈值时,表示二者的平行度在可接受误差范围内,若大于该预设阈值,则表示需要进行调平过程,即进行下述调整步骤S3。That is to say, the angle between the Z axis and the normal direction of the printing plane. When the angle is smaller than the preset threshold, it means that the parallelism of the two is within the acceptable error range. If it is greater than the preset threshold, it means that the leveling process needs to be performed. , that is, the following adjustment step S3 is performed.
调整步骤S3,参见图6,首先确定三点中的最高点或最低点P3,以点P3为原点建立局部水平坐标系P3-x3y3z3,并将打印平台的法向量np分别向x3P3z3平面和y3P3z3平面进行正交投影,可得到平台的法向量np相对两坐标平面的夹角α和调平时,将平台中的点P1、P2先绕y3轴旋转α角度,即图中所示的①方向,获取图中未示出调整后的法向n′p,使得到n′p与其在y3P3z3的平面正交投影重合,再绕x3轴旋转角,即图中所示②方向,获取图中未示出调整后的法向n″p,使得n″p与z3方向重合就可完成调平。具体过程如下:Adjusting step S3, see Fig. 6, first determine the highest or lowest point P 3 among the three points, establish a local horizontal coordinate system P 3 -x 3 y 3 z 3 with the point P 3 as the origin, and print the normal vector of the platform Orthogonal projection of n p to the x 3 P 3 z 3 plane and y 3 P 3 z 3 plane, respectively, can obtain the angle α and α of the normal vector n p of the platform relative to the two coordinate planes When leveling, first rotate the points P 1 and P 2 in the platform by an angle α around the y 3 axis, that is, the
np在y3的正交投影向量为:The orthogonal projection vector of n p on y 3 is:
同理可知np在x3的正交投影向量为:Similarly, the orthogonal projection vector of n p at x 3 is:
npx3=np·x3 n px3 =n p x 3
在z3的正交投影向量为:The orthogonal projection vector at z 3 is:
npz3=np·z3 n pz3 =n p ·z 3
其中,x3,y3,z3分别是三个坐标轴的单位方向向量。Among them, x 3 , y 3 , and z 3 are the unit direction vectors of the three coordinate axes, respectively.
可知:It is known that:
坐标系P3-x3y3z3下,三个支撑点的坐标为:In the coordinate system P 3 -x 3 y 3 z 3 , the coordinates of the three support points are:
P1=(x1-x3,y1-y3,z1-z3)T,P 1 =(x 1 -x 3 , y 1 -y 3 , z 1 -z 3 ) T ,
P2=(x2-x3,y2-y3,z2-z3)T,P 2 =(x 2 -x 3 , y 2 -y 3 , z 2 -z 3 ) T ,
P3=(0,0,0)T P 3 = (0, 0, 0) T
调整过程为:The adjustment process is:
第一步:调整平台绕y3轴旋转α角度的过程为:以P3为定点,调整P2和P1绕y3轴旋转α:Step 1: The process of adjusting the platform to rotate α around the y 3 axis is: take P 3 as the fixed point, adjust P 2 and P 1 to rotate α around the y 3 axis:
点P1与y3轴的距离为: The distance between point P1 and y3 axis is:
点P1的丝杠进给调整量为:The screw feed adjustment at point P 1 is:
此时,调整后得到P′1的坐标为: At this point, the adjusted coordinates of P' 1 are:
点P2与y3轴的距离为: The distance between point P2 and y3 axis is:
则P2的丝杠进给调整量为:Then the screw feed adjustment of P 2 is:
此时,调整后得到P′2的坐标为: At this point, the adjusted coordinates of P' 2 are:
第二步:调整平台绕x3轴旋转β角度的过程为:以P3为定点,调整P′2和P′1绕x3轴旋转β:Step 2: The process of adjusting the platform to rotate β around the x 3 axis is: take P 3 as the fixed point, and adjust P′ 2 and P′ 1 to rotate β around the x 3 axis:
点P′1与x3轴的距离为:The distance between the point P' 1 and the x3 axis is:
点P′1的丝杠进给调整量为:The screw feed adjustment at point P′ 1 is:
点P′2与x3轴的距离为:The distance between the point P' 2 and the x 3 axis is:
点P′2的丝杠进给调整量为:The screw feed adjustment at point P' 2 is:
