The method specifically adopts screw extrusion type printing, realizes the design of paths and shapes through g-code codes, controls the moving speed and the Z-axis height of the screw, and adjusts and controls the extrusion speed through an external device. In addition, the printer can be matched with a plurality of printing nozzles at the same time so as to realize the simultaneous printing of a plurality of nozzles.
As shown in fig. 6, the printer includes: extrusion controller 1, extrusion motor 2, detachable extrusion screw 3, extrusion table (holder) 4, injector (storage device) 5, liftable print platform (Z-axis adjuster) 6, print head 7, main body support 8, main body base 9, conveyor motor 10, conveyor (embedded) 11, computer control device (adjust X/Y/Z axis and print path) 12.
Working principle:
the test is carried out in a device built in a laboratory shown in the figure, and the printing path and the position of the X/Y/Z axis are adjusted and the printing speed is adjusted by encoding G-Code in the computer control device 12, so that the printing is also started and stopped; the extrusion speed is regulated by the extrusion controller 1, and test formal printing is started after the test pre-extrusion keeps stable; the printing ink is loaded into the injector (storage device) 5 after the configuration is completed, and the printing ink is removed in the middle of printing or is freely replaced after printing, so that printing is continued; the whole device of the detachable extrusion type screw 3 and the extrusion table 4 can be detached and changed into a double-nozzle injector for printing; a glass plate is placed on the liftable printing platform 6 for ink extrusion, so that the post-treatment of the printing structure is facilitated after the printing is finished;
the printing process comprises the following steps: after the printing ink and the printing spray head are installed in the test, G-code codes are imported through the computer control device 12, initial parameters are adjusted, then the X/Y/Z axis is adjusted to a fixed position and zeroed, the extrusion controller is opened first, then the computer controller is clicked synchronously, a section of ink is pre-extruded, after the printing is stable, the required structure is formally printed, and after the printing is finished, the printing device is adjusted to return to the initial position. The single-material extrusion printing or the multi-material extrusion printing can be realized by changing the spray head or removing the ink halfway, and the printing of various structures such as a core-shell structure or a sandwich structure is finished; after printing, the printing structure can be post-processed, and the test platform can be cleaned to continue printing until printing is completed.
The material in the embodiment of the invention is purchased from a Zhejiang university material and chemical purchasing platform, and specifically, part of reagent information is as follows: mannitol (C) 6 H 14 O 6 Purity is more than or equal to 99%, and the purity is higher than or equal toButyl), xanthan gum (USP grade reagent, roen), sodium alginate ((C) 6 H 7 O 6 Na) n Viscosity of 200+ -20 mpa.s, allatin), urea (CH 4 N 2 O, 99% purity, rohn), potassium chloride (99.5% purity, source foliar organisms, china), sepiolite (400 mesh, rohn), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (2% viscosity: 6 mpa.s; methoxy: 28-30%; hydroxypropyl: 7.0-12%, aladine), sodium hydroxymethyl cellulose (BR, source leaf organism), calcium chloride (analytically pure, shanghai test), potassium dihydrogen phosphate (purity 99%, source leaf organism), p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde (CAS: 100-10-7, analytically pure, aledine), solvents (ethanol and water), and other corresponding reagents are analytically pure.
In the experimental embodiment and the comparative example, the content of urea in the eluent is measured by adopting a p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde colorimetric method, so that the accumulated release rate of nitrogen is calculated; the cumulative release rate of phosphorus in the leacheate was determined using flame photometry and the cumulative release rate of phosphorus was determined using molybdenum antimony anti-colorimetry.
The release curve in the embodiment of the invention is determined by adopting a sand column leaching mode to simulate the release condition of the fertilizer blocks. Specifically, nutrient release conditions of the formulation were studied by designing a sand column (sand core with a height of 15cm, an inner diameter of 4.5cm, and a bottom of 0.1mm, and a piston provided at the upper end thereof, so as to collect the leacheate by an extrusion device such as an ear ball). The release of nutrients under the leaching of the sand column can be simulated in a preliminary way, so that the release of the nutrients can be monitored for a long time. About 0.5g of block fertilizer with different formulations and conventional urea (as a control) are added at the position of 3cm at the top of the sand column, the nitrogen content is kept consistent, 50 milliliters of distilled water (the volume water content of the column under the saturation condition) is added into each sand column, the filtrate is collected at different times of 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 28 and 30 days, after the eluent is collected, the urea content in the eluent is measured through a p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde colorimetric method, and the accumulated release rate of nitrogen is calculated, so that a time-dependent change curve of the nitrogen release amount under different formulations is drawn.
Example 1
Taking 18g of mannitol to dissolve in a mixed solvent of 6ml of ethanol and 4ml of water, dissolving 0.2g of sodium alginate and 5g of urea in 10ml of water (one printable formulation, other feasible formulation details are shown in table 1 below), respectively sealing the two in an oven at 60 ℃ for heating for 1 hour, mixing and heating for 15 minutes after the two are dissolved, stirring and cooling the mixed formulation to normal temperature under mechanical stirring, and finally grinding the ink in a grinding instrument for 15 minutes and waiting for equipment printing. (details of the configuration flow are shown in FIG. 1)
Table 1 sodium alginate experimental formulation
Figure BDA0003715255270000071
( And (3) injection: the urea in the formula can be changed into other various nutrient substances such as potassium chloride, and the quantity of mannitol, sodium alginate and urea can also be changed )
After the configuration is completed, the different formulations of ink need to be loaded into a 5ml syringe and the printer used in the invention is equipped with the ink to be printed. The printing parameters are debugged, the size of the spray head is finally determined to be not lower than 1mm, and 1mm is adopted in the experiment; the printing speed can be between 250 and 100mm/min, and the experiment adopts 200mm/min; the extrusion speed is 0.01-0.05mm/s, and the experimental use is 0.02mm/s; the print height was set to 1mm. The block fertilizer required by the invention is printed under the guidance of the g-code, and can be printed according to any shape required by the code, thereby playing the roles of decoration, beautiful appearance and the like to meet the personalized demands of gardening lovers.
The release curves of different formulations are obviously different, and mainly change due to the content of nutrient elements, the content of binders and other factors. The specific details are shown in figure 2, the sodium alginate-containing formulation has good release effect, long release period and no difference in 14-40 days. When the mannitol content is 1-6, the release period of the formula can be up to about 40 days at the highest, and when the mannitol content is 1-2, the release period of the formula is reduced to 14 days; the slow release period is between 17g mannitol and 30 days.
Example 2
Taking 18g of mannitol to dissolve in 6ml of ethanol and 4ml of water solvent, then dissolving 1g of xanthan gum and 10g of urea in 10ml of water (one of the formulations, other feasible formulation details are shown in the following table 2), respectively sealing the two in an oven at 60 ℃ and heating for 1 hour, mixing and heating for 15 minutes after the two are dissolved, stirring the mixed formulation to normal temperature under mechanical stirring, and finally grinding the ink in a grinder for 15 minutes to wait for equipment to print. (details of the configuration flow are shown in FIG. 1)
Table 2 xanthan gum experimental formulation
Figure BDA0003715255270000081
( And (3) injection: the urea in the formula can be changed into other various nutrient substances such as potassium chloride, and the quantity of mannitol, sodium alginate and urea can also be changed )
The release curves of different formulations are obviously different, and mainly change due to the content of nutrient elements, the content of binders and other factors. In particular, as shown in fig. 3, the release effect of the xanthan gum-containing formulation is generally short, and the release period is not uniform within 3-7 days. The release period was 7 days when the mannitol content was 18g and the urea content was 5g, whereas the release period was further reduced with increasing urea content, and was 5 days when the urea content was 10g and only 3 days when the urea content was 15 g. It follows that too much urea content has a greater effect on the formulation and can reduce the release cycle of the formulation.
Example 3
Taking 18g of mannitol to dissolve in 6ml of ethanol and 4ml of water solvent, then dissolving 1g of xanthan gum and 10g of urea in 10ml of water (one of the formulations, other feasible formulation details are shown in the following table 3), respectively sealing the two in an oven at 60 ℃ for heating for 1 hour, mixing and heating for 15 minutes after all the two are dissolved, adding 2g of sepiolite into the mixed formulation, then sealing and stirring to normal temperature under mechanical stirring, and finally grinding the ink in a grinder for 15 minutes to wait for equipment printing. (details of the configuration flow are shown in FIG. 1)
Table 3 sepiolite experimental formulation
Figure BDA0003715255270000091
( And (3) injection: the urea in the formula can be replaced by other nutrients such as potassium chloride, the amount of mannitol, sodium alginate and urea can also be changed, and sepiolite can be replaced by other ceramic-based materials such as diatomite )
The release curves of different formulations are obviously different, and mainly change due to the content of nutrient elements, the content of binders and other factors. The details are shown in the following figure 4, the sepiolite-containing formula has a remarkable prolonging effect relative to the slow release period of the initial formula, the release effect is good, the release period is long, and the maximum time can reach about 40 days. Specifically, 2g of sepiolite is added to the original formulation containing xanthan gum, and the release period of the formulation is improved by 7 days, up to 14 days, relative to the original formulation; and 2g of sepiolite is added to the original formula containing sodium alginate, the release period of the formula is improved by 10 days, up to 40 days, the slow release period is obviously improved, the fertilizer requirement characteristic of gardening crops for a long period is met, and the effect of the ceramic matrix material on adjusting the release curve is obvious from the side surface.
EXAMPLE 4 spray Effect study of post-treatments
After the formula configuration and printing are carried out in a conventional manner, the surface of the 3D printing controlled release fertilizer extruded by the material can be obviously improved by spraying a calcium chloride solution in the range of 2% -10% (w/v) or coating a hydroxypropyl methylcellulose or a hydroxymethyl starch sodium aqueous solution on the surface layer (see the SEM image of figure 5 for details), the surface of the block fertilizer is more compact after the calcium chloride solution is sprayed, and the surface of the block fertilizer is smoother after the hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is sprayed. The release period of the two is obviously different, the longest release period can reach 50 days after spraying the calcium chloride solution, but the release period after spraying the hydroxypropyl methylcellulose solution is not obviously enhanced, which indicates that the crosslinking capability is better than the effect of common coating, and the method provides a new idea for researching and developing the massive fertilizer and is more beneficial to customizing the plant fertilizer.
From the above examples, the present invention provides a technique for custom manufacturing fertilizer modules using multi-jet multi-material extrusion 3D printing techniques. The fertilizer modules produced by printing can be degraded step by step and release the needed nutrients according to the specific plant requirements. The invention utilizes natural or synthetic degradable polymer and natural nanometer/micrometer ceramic filler to prepare the formula required by printing, and the invention realizes customization, controls fertilizer release, produces no harmful residue and does not cause environmental pollution. The invention covers the design and production of fertilizer modules by utilizing a multi-material extrusion type 3D printing platform, the release of nutrients is controlled by controlling the spatial distribution of target nutrients in the product, and the controlled release and the slow release of different components and the optimization of printing effects are realized by utilizing natural polymers such as sodium alginate, diatomite, xanthan gum and the like, so that the aim of designing the release of different nutrients according to the requirements of users is fulfilled.
The foregoing is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and it should be noted that modifications and adaptations to those skilled in the art may be made without departing from the principles of the present invention, which are intended to be comprehended within the scope of the present invention.
