For a double-nozzle 3D printer, the double-nozzle structure is fixedly arranged on the same motion shaft and moves together to work in the printing process, so that the problems of mutual interference and mutual restriction exist. When the main nozzle prints, the auxiliary nozzle is in a pause state and is subjected to cooling treatment, and when the auxiliary nozzle prints, the main nozzle is in a pause state and is subjected to cooling treatment. Although the time for each pause of the main and auxiliary nozzles is short, for a large-size printing model, if the time cannot be accurately controlled, the overall printing time is still prolonged, and the printing efficiency is affected. Meanwhile, during the suspension of the main and sub-heads, even if the temperature is lowered, there is still a possibility that a little flow occurs (the head where the flow occurs is called a flow head). This phenomenon causes the following problems: when the fluid material nozzle begins to print, because the nozzle has the material that already is solid state, the fluid material of nozzle limit is very easily wiped to the model limit during printing, can strike the shaping material even to cause the phenomenon of printing the staggered floor or splitting between the layer, and then influence printing quality.
In addition, its position can change because of the vibration after the shower nozzle uses for a period of time, and after overhauing at every turn, changing the shower nozzle, the shower nozzle position also can't keep the complete unanimity with the original position, this just needs regularly to print the shower nozzle and measure to adjust the interval between two shower nozzles according to measuring result, with guarantee printing quality and success rate. The existing spray head measuring method generally adopts a manual measuring mode, and utilizes a calibration tool to measure and calibrate the distance and the height between two spray heads, so that the problem of large error exists in manual measurement. In order to solve the above problems, the inventive concept of the present application is then conceived.
As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, a measuring method of a dual-nozzle 3D printer according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:
in step 110, the displacement S1 along the X direction when the first nozzle 110 of the nozzle group moves from the first initial position to the first preset position is obtained.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, a coordinate axis is established with a plane of a thermal bed of the 3D printer as a reference plane, wherein a long side of the thermal bed is an X-axis of the coordinate axis, a short side of the thermal bed is a Y-axis of the coordinate axis, and a corner position of a lower left corner of the thermal bed is an O-point which is an origin of the coordinate axis. The first and second heads 110 and 120 each have a protruding point position, and when the protruding point position of the first head 110 is located at the first initial position, the first head 110 is considered to be located at the first initial position.
The first nozzle 110 and the second nozzle 120 are both mounted on the same motion shaft, a driving mechanism is arranged at the motion shaft, the driving mechanism comprises a first driving piece and a second driving piece, and power output ends of the first driving piece and the second driving piece are both connected with the motion shaft. The first driving member drives the nozzle group to move along the X direction (i.e., OX direction shown in fig. 2) or along the opposite direction of the X direction (i.e., XO direction shown in fig. 2) through the movement axis, and the second driving member is used for driving the nozzle group to move along the Y direction (i.e., OY direction shown in fig. 2) or along the opposite direction of the Y direction (i.e., YO direction shown in fig. 2). The first driving piece is specifically a first stepping motor, and when the first stepping motor rotates forwards, the spray head group moves along the OX direction; when the first stepping motor rotates reversely, the nozzle group moves along the XO direction, the first stepping motor rotates forward by a certain angle and rotates reversely by a certain angle to form a corresponding step length, when the first nozzle 110 moves from the first initial position to the first preset position, the step length corresponding to the forward rotation and the step length corresponding to the reverse rotation of the first stepping motor are obtained, the difference value of the two step lengths is calculated, and the displacement S1 of the first nozzle 110 moving along the X direction can be obtained.
As shown in fig. 3, in an embodiment, a rectangular positioning element 130 is fixedly disposed at a position of the heat bed, the position may be any position except the origin, and the first predetermined position may be an end of the positioning element 130 along the X direction. As shown in fig. 3, when the long side of the positioning member 130 is parallel to the X axis and the short side is parallel to the Y axis, and the first nozzle 110 moves to contact with the short side of the positioning member 130, that is, the protruding point of the first nozzle 110 coincides with the short side of the positioning member, it is determined that the first nozzle 110 reaches the first preset position. By introducing the positioning element 130, whether the first nozzle 110 moves to the first preset position can be better determined, and the accuracy of moving the first nozzle 110 to the target position can be further ensured.
Specifically, the positioning element 130 has an extremely low negative voltage, the first nozzle 110 and the second nozzle 120 in the nozzle group both have an extremely low positive voltage, when the driving mechanism drives the first nozzle 110 or the second nozzle 120 to contact the positioning element 130, the circuit is switched on to form a loop, and a loop signal is fed back to the control system, so that the control system controls the driving mechanism to stop operating, and further controls the nozzle group to stop moving, thereby accurately obtaining the displacement of the first nozzle or the second nozzle moving to the target position.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, in one embodiment, the first initial position is an origin position, and before obtaining the displacement of the first nozzle 110 in the X direction from the first predetermined position, if the first nozzle 110 is not located at the origin position, the first nozzle 110 is subjected to a zero operation.
Specifically, when the first nozzle 110 is not located at the origin position, the coordinates of the first nozzle 110 are (X1, Y1), and therefore, the first nozzle 110 may be driven by the first driving element to move along the XO direction until the first nozzle 110 moves to the position with coordinates (0, Y1), i.e., the Y axis. Then, the second driving member is operated to move the first head 110 from the position with coordinates (0, Y1) to the origin position which is the position with coordinates (0, 0) in the YO direction. Specifically, a first in-place sensor and a second in-place sensor are respectively arranged on the X axis and the Y axis, when the first nozzle 110 touches the first in-place sensor or the second in-place sensor, it is indicated that the first nozzle 110 moves to the X axis or the Y axis, and the two in-place sensors give signals to stop the driving mechanism and stop the movement of the nozzle group.
In another embodiment, the zeroing operation may be performed by first driving the first nozzle 110 to move to the position with the coordinate of (X1, 0) along the YO direction by the second driving member, and then driving the first nozzle 110 to move from the position with the coordinate of (X1, 0) along the XO direction to the origin position by the first driving member.
As shown in fig. 5, in one embodiment, when the first initial position is the origin position, the step of moving the first nozzle 110 from the first initial position to the first preset position specifically includes:
s111, the first spray head 110 moves from the original position to a first position along the X direction, namely the OX direction;
s112, the first nozzle 110 moves from the first position to the second position along the Y direction, i.e. the OY direction, by a second distance;
s113, moving the first nozzle 110 from the second position to a third position along a direction opposite to the X direction, i.e. along the XO direction;
s114, the first nozzle 110 moves from the third position to the fourth position along the Y direction, namely the OY direction, by a second distance;
the steps S111 to S114 are sequentially repeated until the first nozzle 110 contacts the positioning member 130.
Since the coordinates of the positioning member 130 are unknown, and the first nozzle 110 can not contact the positioning member 130 only by moving in one direction, the first nozzle 110 is controlled to move along the S-shaped track. The first distance is the length of the hot bed, the second distance is smaller than the width of the positioning member 130, and the single movement distance of the first nozzle 110 along the Y direction is smaller than the width of the positioning member 130, so that the risk that the first nozzle 110 does not contact the positioning member 130 when moving along the S-shaped track can be reduced. It is understood that when S114 is completed and S111 is performed again, the first showerhead 110 should be moved in the OX direction from the fourth position. It should be noted that, when the positioning member 130 is located on the path of the first nozzle 110 along the current moving direction in the execution of S111 and S113, the moving distance of the first nozzle 110 should be smaller than the first distance, that is, the first nozzle 110 has already contacted with one end of the positioning member 130 along the X direction when the moving distance along the X direction does not reach the first distance.
When the displacement S1 of the first head 110 in the X direction is acquired, step S120 of acquiring the displacement S3 of the second head 120 of the head group in the X direction when moving from the second initial position to the first preset position is performed. When the first nozzle 110 is located at the first initial position, the second nozzle 120 is located at the second initial position. It is understood that before the displacement S3 of the second nozzle 120 is obtained, the nozzle group is zeroed, that is, the first nozzle 110 is controlled by the driving mechanism to move to the first initial position, and then the second nozzle 120 correspondingly moves to the second initial position.
Specifically, the movement path of the second nozzle 120 moving from the second initial position to the first preset position may refer to the movement path of the first nozzle 110 moving from the first initial position to the first preset position, and includes:
step 121, the first driving member rotates forward to drive the second nozzle 120 to move a first distance from the second initial position along the OX direction; step 122, the second driving member rotates forward to drive the second driving member to move a second distance along the OY direction; step 123, the first driving element rotates reversely to drive the second nozzle 120 to move a first distance along the direction XO; step 124, the second driving member rotates forward to drive the second nozzle to move a second distance along the OY direction, and steps 121 to 124 are repeated in sequence until the second nozzle 120 contacts the positioning member 130. The difference between the step length corresponding to the forward rotation and the step length corresponding to the reverse rotation of the first driving member is calculated to obtain the displacement S3 of the second nozzle along the X direction.
After the displacement S1 of the first nozzle 110 moving from the first initial position to the first predetermined position and the displacement S3 of the second nozzle 120 moving from the second initial position to the first predetermined position are obtained, step 130 is executed to calculate a first difference between the displacement S1 and the displacement S3, where the first difference is a distance between the first nozzle 110 and the second nozzle 120 in the X direction.
In one embodiment, the measuring method of the dual-nozzle 3D printer can also realize the distance measurement between the first nozzle 110 and the second nozzle 120 along the Y direction, and specifically includes the following steps:
in step 140, a displacement S2 along the Y direction when the first nozzle 110 moves from the first initial position to the second predetermined position is obtained.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the second preset position may be an end of the positioning element 130 along the Y direction. Since the displacement S1 of the first nozzle 110 in the X direction has been obtained through the foregoing steps, that is, the X coordinate of the positioning member 130 is known, when the first driving member drives the first nozzle 110 to move from the first initial position to the fifth position in the OX direction by the distance S1, the first nozzle is located below the positioning member; the second driving member drives the first nozzle 110 to move a third distance along the OY direction from the fifth position to contact with one end of the positioning member 130 along the Y direction, where the third distance is a displacement S2. Specifically, the second driving member is a second stepping motor, when the second stepping motor rotates forward by a certain angle, the nozzle group moves along the OY direction, and when the second stepping motor rotates forward by a certain angle, the corresponding step length exists, and when the first nozzle 110 moves from the first initial position to the first preset position, the step length corresponding to the forward rotation of the second stepping motor is obtained, so that the displacement S2 of the first nozzle 110 moving along the Y direction can be obtained.
As shown in fig. 4, after the displacement S2 of the first nozzle 110 in the Y direction is obtained, step 150 of obtaining a displacement S4 of the second nozzle 120 in the Y direction when moving from the second initial position to the second preset position is performed.
Specifically, the first driving element drives the second nozzle to move along the X direction by a distance S3 to a sixth position, and then the second driving element drives the second nozzle to move along the Y direction by a fourth distance from the sixth position until the second nozzle contacts with one end of the positioning element 130 along the Y direction, and the fourth distance is a displacement S4. It should be noted that the ends of the first nozzle 110 and the second nozzle 120 contacting the positioning member 130 are the same, that is, the first nozzle 110 moves to contact the lower end of the positioning member 130 and then stops moving, and the second nozzle 120 also moves to contact the lower end of the positioning member 130 and then stops moving.
After obtaining the displacement S2 of the first nozzle 110 moving from the first initial position to the second predetermined position and the displacement S4 of the second nozzle 120 moving from the second initial position to the second predetermined position, step 160 is executed to calculate a second difference between the displacement S2 and the displacement S4, where the second difference is the distance between the first nozzle 110 and the second nozzle 120 along the Y direction.
In the measuring method of the dual-nozzle 3D printer, a first displacement along the OX direction or the OY direction when the first nozzle 110 moves from the first initial position to the target position is obtained, and a second displacement along the OX direction or the OY direction when the second nozzle 120 moves from the second initial position to the target position is obtained, where a difference between the first displacement and the second displacement is a relative distance between the first nozzle and the second nozzle. The measuring method of the double-nozzle 3D printer is free of manual operation, high in automation degree and free of dependence on a vision system such as a camera, so that the measuring cost is low, the measuring mode is simple, the operation difficulty is low, the measuring precision can be guaranteed, the problems that the existing measuring mode is limited by operation experience and the measuring error greatly affects the calibration precision are solved, and the distance between two nozzles is conveniently monitored by improving the measuring precision so as to accurately control the printing process.
Further, the application also provides a calibration method of the dual-nozzle 3D printer, which comprises the above measurement method and further comprises the following steps:
the first difference value and the second difference value are fed back to the control system and are used as distance compensation parameters of the first spray head 110 and the second spray head 120, the distance between the two spray heads is adjusted through the motion system, the distance between the first spray head and the second spray head is enabled to be within a preset range, and therefore printing quality and success rate are guaranteed.
