Description

[0001] APPARATUS SPOINTING 3D PRINTING MATERIAL [0002]

The present invention relates to a 3D printer extruder including an integral nozzle, and more specifically, a nozzle for injecting molten filaments and a connection pipe for separating the main block of the extruder from the hot plate are integrally formed, And to a 3D printer extruder including an integral type nozzle that makes it convenient.

Conventional 3D printers have been developed for the purpose of prototyping products before they are commercialized in the enterprise. However, they have been developed in the early stage, which was confined to plastic materials, expanded to nylon and metal materials, and commercialized in various fields as well as industrial prototypes Respectively.

In general, it is divided into a 3D printer method (additive type or rapid prototyping method) and a cutting type machining method (computer numerically controlled engraving method) in which a large lump is cut by stacking up a layer by a method of forming a three-dimensional form. The object can be determined in various ways.

The FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) method is typical in the laminated type, and is called a FFF (Fused Filament Fragment). A plastic wire called a filament is used as a material.

The material is similar to the glue gun used in home applications in the form of melting the melt while passing through a heated extruder and laminating the material flowing through the nozzle onto the output plate to shape the required shape.

 The key to material extrusion processing technology is the extruder, which melts and extrudes the material. It basically includes a motor to move the material and apply pressure to the nozzle (Hot End).

The extruder is divided into a direct extrusion type and a bowden type according to the position of the extrusion motor. In the direct extrusion type, since the extrusion motor is located directly above the nozzle, the nozzle and the filament Since the distance is short, stable raw material supply is possible, and the output quality is good. However, there is a disadvantage that the extrusion motor is like a nozzle and is heavy and disadvantageous to high speed output. In Bowden type, the compression device is located outside the printer. In order to compensate unstable supply, Teflon tube connects the head part and the crimping part. The driving part of the nozzle is light and easy to use for high speed output. The motor is subjected to a load as much as possible, and the speed of extrusion response is slowed, and the output quality may deteriorate.

The conventional direct extrusion method includes a body 120, a guide tube 130 for guiding the filament F into the body 120, and a guide pipe 130 for guiding the filament F into the body 120, as described in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1441030 A gear drive 140 for feeding the filament F passing through the inside of the body 120 and forcing the filament F to be interlocked with the power generator 110 and an elastic restoring force to the filament F and the gear drive 140, A heater cartridge 150 which melts the filament F passing through the body 120 and an elastic pressing means 200 for increasing the frictional force between the heater cartridge F and the gear drive 140, And a nozzle 160 for injecting the molten filament F. A connection pipe 170 is provided between the heater cartridge 150 and the body 120. [

As described above, the nozzle 160 and the connection pipe 170 are divided around the heater cartridge 150, and a thread is formed on the outer side. The nozzle 160 and the connection pipe 170 are connected to the heater cartridge 150 So that they can be screwed together. However, in the conventional method, it is troublesome to separate the nozzle 160 or the connection tube 170 from the heater cartridge 150 when replacing the nozzle 160 or the connection tube 170, respectively. There is a problem that the cost increases.
