Description
The present invention relates to a device, and more particularly to a filament supply device for a 3D printer.
Three-dimensional printing is an additive manufacturing method for manufacturing three-dimensional solid objects through an additive method as opposed to a subtractive manufacturing method in which three-dimensional objects are produced by cutting or shaving materials. There are various stacking methods for three-dimensional printing, and the materials used for three-dimensional printing are also very diverse such as polymers, metals, paper, wood, and foodstuffs.
One of the methods of three-dimensional printing is to melt a filament of a solid material and transform it into a liquid phase to laminate. Typically, the filaments are wound around a drum and stored, and the filaments are loosened and then flowed into the nozzles and then melted and discharged.
The filament can be deformed while being wound and stored for a long time, and even if the filament is loosened, the predetermined section becomes unstable. If the filament is bent, it may be difficult to load the nozzle into the nozzle, or the quality may not be constant because the heat transfer is not uniform in the nozzle. Therefore, there is a need for a process for improving the quality of the filament by deforming the bent filament before injecting into the nozzle and flowing it into the nozzle with a uniform thickness.
One aspect of the present invention is to provide a filament supply device for a 3D printer capable of maintaining a constant quality of a filament and performing a fine and precise 3D printing process.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a filament feeding device comprising a first driving roller for moving an introduced filament in a first direction, a second driving roller which is installed apart from the first driving roller and supplies the filament to a heat nozzle, And a heating block installed between the driving roller and the second driving roller for heating the filament, wherein the filament extends in the first direction in the heating block, and the filament And the thickness of the filament is smaller than the thickness of the filament flowing into the first driving roller.
The rotation speed of at least one of the first driving roller and the second driving roller may be set so that the linear velocity of the filament discharged from the second driving roller is greater than the linear velocity of the filament flowing into the first driving roller And a controller for controlling the controller.
The rotation speed of the second driving roller may be greater than the rotation speed of the first driving roller.
In addition, the heating block may heat the filament to a first temperature lower than the glass transition temperature of the filament.
The apparatus may further include a pressure roller disposed on at least one of the first driving roller and the second driving roller and pressing the filament.
Further, the pressure roller may move in a second direction different from the first direction.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a filament winding apparatus including a spool wound with a filament, a first driving roller for moving the filament unwound from the spool in a first direction, A heating block which is installed between the first driving roller and the second driving roller and which heats the filament to a first temperature and a heating block which heats the filament And a heat nozzle for heating the filament to a second temperature higher than the first temperature.
The thickness of the filament discharged from the second driving roller may be smaller than the thickness of the filament flowing into the first driving roller.
The rotation speed of at least one of the first driving roller and the second driving roller may be set so that the linear velocity of the filament discharged from the second driving roller is greater than the linear velocity of the filament flowing into the first driving roller And a controller for controlling the controller.
The filament supply device for 3D printer according to one embodiment of the present invention and the method of operating the same according to the present invention increase the flexibility of the filament by the heating block and quantitatively adjust the discharge amount of the liquid filament discharged from the heat nozzle, 3D printing can be done.
Further, in the filament supply device for a 3D printer and its operation method, the heating block can adjust the thickness of the filament. The flexible filament can be stretched in the first direction to adjust the thickness, and the filament can be injected into the heat nozzle by regulating the speed of the first driving roller and the second driving roller.
Further, in the filament supply device for a 3D printer and its operation method, since the heating block preheats the filament and melts the filament from the heat nozzle, the quality of the filament can be improved and the time for producing the final product can be shortened.
