Background
At present, the building 3D technology is in the key industry starting stage, has been completely open in public buildings, decorative buildings, emergency buildings, customized buildings and the like, and is in the transition stage from laboratories to commercialization.
Traditional 3D printing technique mainly is applied to small-size product fields such as medical treatment, accessories, and it is not more than the part of storage silo volume according to the certain volume of printing out that the size of storage silo lasts, and is different with traditional 3D printing mode, and large-scale building printing work has decided that the printing nozzle will have the extrusion capacity who lasts the feed. In the whole process of conveying and extruding the building material, the printing material at the outlet is easily blocked due to the reduction of the sectional area of the channel at the extrusion outlet of the spray head, the reinforcing fibers are often required to be added in the process of printing the building material (concrete, mortar and the like), the reinforcing fibers in the printing material are directionally oriented (arranged along the printing direction) in the process of conveying the printing material, and the orientation action is intensified due to the reduction of the sectional area at the extrusion outlet, so that aggregates in the building material, particularly the concrete, are accumulated at the extrusion outlet to cause blockage.
