Background technology
Along with the fast development of China's economy, improving constantly of manufacturing level, the parts of more and more different modeling are designed and produce.Owing to needing to carry out the series of processes such as die sinking, cast in traditional forming parts course of processing, the course of processing is the most loaded down with trivial details, and the most in recent years, increasing processing enterprise starts to be applied in processing and the manufacture process of part 3D printing technique.
At present, 3D printing technique is also in the infancy, the most extremely limited in the selection of its manufacturing process and rapidoprint.When especially relating to selective laser sintering 3D printing technique, the specification requirement for the plastic powders as rapidoprint is the most harsh.It is said that in general, add be required for man-hour selecting the less plastic powders of granule to be to ensure that the finished product printed has higher flatness and degree of accuracy as rapidoprint, the plastic powders selecting granule less carrying out this class, it is ensured that the quality of following process.
The screening of existing selective laser sintering plastic powders uses common vibrosieve to operate mostly, needs manually persistently to feed in spin vibration sieve during screening, and in screening process, remaining coarse granule material is required for artificial taking-up from screen cloth.After all having sieved, then need to carry out next step feeding operation.Existing material-uploading style is still based on manually, i.e. by the artificial external hopper that the plastic grain sieved is poured into selective laser sintering and moulding machine.
We can recognize the most intuitively from the above description, and the existing screening for plastic powders and feeding considerably increase the labor intensity of operator, reduces work efficiency, and causes raw-material a large amount of waste.Simultaneously as the volume of plastic powders and quality are the least, producing substantial amounts of dust, cause environmental pollution, affect the healthy of operator in therefore making operation room during screening and feeding, serious also can result in the serious diseases such as pneumoconiosis.
Chinese patent CN104495226A discloses a kind of totally-enclosed feeding device without dust that can effectively reduce Dust Capacity, and it includes that support arm, conveyer belt, motor are stretched in frame, bearing, casing, chain, sprocket wheel, elevating hopper, hopper, sieves, side.It uses enclosed feed mechanism, and this structure is vertical structure, and the space taken is less, it is possible to realize operation in narrow and small working environment.This utility model takes enclosed material-uploading style, will not produce too much airborne dust, be effectively controlled the pollution of environment during using, but owing to it uses vertical structure, is therefore not particularly suited for the processing of existing selective laser sintering.Additionally, this utility model does not has the function of automatic sieving, the problem that therefore this utility model does not solve fine particle powder sieving feeding.
