Abstract
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE
3D printers have evolved in a variety of ways since the early 1980s, when 3D Systems, Inc., first introduced a way to make three-dimensional shapes by solidifying plastic liquids. Nylon and metal materials have also been used as output materials for 3D printers at the initial stage, which is limited to plastic materials, and they are used as equipment for producing customized medical equipment with higher precision.
3D printers are largely divided into FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling), SLA (Stereolithography Apparatus), SLS (Selective Laser Simultaneous) and DLP (Direct Light Processing) according to the method of producing stereoscopic output.
Among the various 3D printing methods, the SLA scheme developed in 1986 by 3DSystems Inc. and the FDM scheme developed in 1989 by Stratasys Co. are most commonly used, Its structure is simple and low in price, and it is widely used for education and personal use.
The FDM method is a method in which plastic filaments such as PLA (Poly Lactacid) or ABS (Acryontrie Butadiene Styrene) are melted and laminated in a printer head. More specifically, the molten plastic filaments are stacked in layers of 0.01 to 0.08 mm thinner than paper to form a three-dimensional shape.
Generally, an FDM-type 3D printer includes a printer head for melting and discharging an output material, a bed on which discharged output materials are accumulated, and a driving unit for moving the printer head and the bed.
In a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system, printing the output material by moving the printhead and bed along the x and y axes produces a two-dimensional output. Moving the printer head or bed in the z-axis in this state to print a new layer on top of the existing output produces a three-dimensional output with a height in the z-axis. It is the principle of printing of the above-mentioned FDM-type 3D printer that repeats the above-described operation to produce a desired three-dimensional shape.
The above-mentioned FDM-type 3D printer is a well-known technology in the past, and disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2009-0119904 entitled " Method of Generating 3D Objects Using Modified ABS Material "and Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2015-0089240 And "3D printer".
Typical FDM 3D printers connect the timing belt by pulling it tightly after the printer head, bed, and motor are installed. Therefore, the process of installing the timing belt is not easy. Further, there is a problem that the tension of the timing belt can not be precisely controlled.
Considering the fact that the FDM type printer is widely used for education and personal use in general, it is desirable to design the printer so that it can be easily assembled by the general public. Further, if the tension of the timing belt can be adjusted without disassembling the timing belt after the 3D printer is assembled, it is possible to correct the movement of the printer head by adjusting the tension of the timing belt, thereby improving the print quality.
The present invention proposes a 3D printer of FDM type that can be easily assembled by a user or a manufacturer. It is possible to easily apply a predetermined tension to the timing belt that moves the printer head and the bed through the present invention and to facilitate the installation and disassembly of the timing belt in the assembling and disassembling process of the 3D printer.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a portable terminal comprising: a lower frame provided with an inner space and provided with a first elongated hole; a left frame and a right frame coupled to left and right of the lower frame; A frame including an upper frame coupled to the upper frame; A bed provided at an upper portion of the lower frame so as to be movable in a y-axis direction and to provide a place where filaments are stacked on the upper portion; A y-axis motor provided in the lower frame; A y-axis timing belt connecting the y-axis motor and the bed to convert the rotational force of the y-axis motor into y-axis movement of the bed; Z-axis guide means provided between the left frame and the right frame; A z-axis motor provided in the lower frame; A z-axis screw having a lower end coupled to the z-axis motor for receiving rotation of the z-axis motor and rotating about the z-axis; A head mount provided movably in the z-axis direction along the z-axis guide means and equipped with a screw coupling to be coupled with the z-axis screw, and having a second elongated hole; A printer head including a hot nozzle for melting the filament and discharging the filament to the bed, the printer head being coupled to the head mount so as to be movable in the x-axis direction; An extruder for feeding the filament to the printer head; An x-axis motor provided on the head mount; An x-axis timing belt connecting the x-axis motor and the printer head to switch rotation of the x-axis motor to x-axis movement of the printer head; A first tensioner mounted movably along the first long hole to apply an adjustable tension to the y-axis timing belt; A second tensioner mounted movably along the second long hole to apply an adjustable tension to the x-axis timing belt; .
According to the present invention, there is provided a 3D printer which can be easily assembled by a user or a manufacturer. It is possible to easily apply a predetermined tension to the timing belt for moving the printer head and the bed due to the present invention. In particular, the installation and disassembly of the timing belt can be facilitated during assembly and disassembly of the 3D printer.
