When the first switching gear 41 rotates reversely, the first protrusion 412 contacts with the first blocking portion 612, and the switching handle 62 rotates in a direction away from the first driven wheel set 41, the first concave arc-shaped surface 611 of the switching rod 61 contacts with the first limiting column 42, so as to prevent the first rotating clamp 4 from approaching in a direction towards the driving wheel 7, so that the first switching gear 411 is separated from the driving wheel 7, and the second switching gear is engaged with the driving wheel 7; when the second switching gear rotates reversely, the second protrusion will contact with the second blocking portion 614, and the switching handle 62 rotates in a direction away from the second driven wheel set 51, and the second concave arc 613 of the switching rod 61 contacts with the second limiting 52 column for preventing the second rotating clamp from approaching to the driving wheel direction, so that the second switching gear is separated from the driving wheel 7, and the first switching gear 411 is engaged with the driving wheel 7.

Specifically, the principle that this device can realize automatic reloading is as follows:
one end of each of the first rotating clamp 4 and the second rotating clamp 5 is hinged to the extruding base 12, and the other end is connected through the extension spring 43, so that the extension spring 43 can provide a pulling force for drawing the first rotating clamp 4 and the second rotating clamp 5 together, when the switching handle 62 is at an initial position (when the switching handle 62 is not rotated leftwards or rightwards), two ends of the switching rod 61 are respectively abutted to the first limiting column 42 and the second limiting column 52 respectively arranged on the first rotating clamp 4 and the second rotating clamp 5, due to the abutting action, the switching rod 61 can counterbalance the pulling force generated by the extension spring 43, so that the first driven wheel set 41 and the second driven wheel set 51 are both separated from the driving wheel 7 when the switching handle 62 is at the initial position, thereby a first feeding channel is formed between the first extruding bearing 413 of the first driven wheel set 41 and the driving wheel 7, a second feeding channel is formed between the second extruding bearing of the second driven wheel set 51 and the driving wheel 7, when feeding, the material silk is added into the feeding pipe and penetrates into the feeding channel to complete feeding.
After the two feeding channels are fed, the 3D printing process may be started, specifically, for example, when the first feeding channel 30 starts to work, the switching handle 62 needs to be rotated to rotate the switching rod 61 toward the second position-limiting post 42, after the rotation, the end of the switching rod 61 that is originally abutted against the first position-limiting post 42 no longer forms an abutment (at this time, the second position-limiting post 52 and the other end of the switching rod 61 still maintain an abutment relationship), but the two ends are separated, and after the separation, due to the pulling force of the tension spring 43, the distance between the first extrusion bearing 413 of the first driven wheel set 41 and the driving wheel 7 is reduced, the driving wheel 7 is driven by the motor 3 to rotate in the forward direction, the driving wheel 7 drives the first extrusion bearing 413 of the first driven wheel set 41 to move (because the first extrusion bearing 413 has two inner and outer rings, the first switching gear 411 of the first driven wheel set 41 and the inner ring of the first extrusion bearing 413 are installed together, the actual driving pulley 7 moves the outer race of the first extrusion bearing 413 of the first driven pulley group 41, and therefore the switching gear is not moved. And because the end part of the switching rod 61 is an inward concave arc surface, the switching rod 61 cannot block the forward rotation of the first driven wheel set 41), and the material wire is extruded to the first discharge pipe 9 and is extruded by the nozzle after being heated.
If it is detected that the first feeding channel 30 is short of material, the motor 3 drives the driving wheel 7 to rotate reversely, when the driving wheel 7 drives the first extruding bearing 413 of the first driven wheel set 41 to rotate reversely, the filament remained in the first feeding channel 30 is ejected (since no filament exists between the first extruding bearing 413 of the first driven wheel set 41 and the driving wheel after the filament is ejected, the first switching gear 411 of the first driven wheel set 41 is engaged with the driving wheel 7), after the filament is ejected, the driving wheel 7 drives the first switching gear 411 to move, when the first switching gear 411 moves, the first protrusion 412 on the first switching gear 411 contacts with the first blocking portion 612 on the switching rod 61, the first protrusion 412 forces the switching rod 61 to move in a direction away from the first driven wheel set 41, the switching rod 61 abuts against the first limit column 42, and the switching rod 61 gives a certain resistance to the first limit column 52, prevent first driven wheelset 41 to be close to action wheel 7 to make first change gear 411 and action wheel 7 separation, the distance of second driven wheelset 51 and action wheel 7 reduces simultaneously, has realized automatic reloading with this, does not need artificial control, reloading, and degree of automation is high, has promoted work efficiency, has practiced thrift the human cost. In addition, there are many ways to detect the material shortage of the feeding channel, for example, a sensor may be disposed in the feeding channel to detect whether the feeding channel is short of material, and when the sensor detects that the material is short of material, the output shaft of the motor 3 is controlled to rotate reversely.
In addition, the first spring 1221 connected between the two first tension spring columns 122 and the second tension spring 1231 connected between the two second tension spring columns 123 can give a switching gear restraining force to the driven wheel when the driven wheel is separated from the driving wheel 7, so that the driven wheel and the driving wheel 7 can be kept in a separated state.
Referring to fig. 6, the extruding base 12 is provided with a first fixing hole 124 for fixing the first feeding pipe 8, a second fixing hole 125 for fixing the first discharging pipe 9, a third fixing hole 126 for fixing the second feeding pipe 10, and a fourth fixing hole 127 for fixing the second discharging pipe 20; the first fixing hole 124 and the second fixing hole 125 are located on the same axis, and the third fixing hole 126 and the fourth fixing hole 127 are located on the same axis. A supporting plate 128 for supporting the first feeding pipe 8 and the second feeding pipe 10 is further arranged in the mounting cavity 121, and a first supporting hole 1281 corresponding to the diameter of the first feeding pipe 8 and a second supporting hole 1282 corresponding to the diameter of the second feeding pipe 10 are formed in the supporting plate 128; the first support hole 1281 and the second support hole 1282 are arranged side by side.
