[47] A working principle of the dual-piston spirally separable connection type underwater 3D printer is as follows:
[48] referring to FIGs. 1 - 5, the underwater printer of the present invention has no initial power, and may be carried by systems such as surface ships, submarines, and aircrafts. During use, the underwater printer is launched to a predetermined position, and the environment sensor in the control module 300 is configured to receive a command; the electric cylinder 131 is turned on to push the first connecting rod 132 and then push the first piston 133 to squeeze the power material 121 in the power material storage cabin 120, the check valve 122 between the power reaction cabin 110 and the power material storage cabin 120 is turned on, and the power material 121 is the gel-like liquid formed by mixing the sodium metal particles or the sodium metal powder with the kerosene or other nonreactive oil substances; after opening the water supply valve 111 on the power material reaction cabin, water enters and is mixed with the power material 121 entering from the power material storage cabin 120 to react, release gas and generate a large amount of pressure, at this time, the jet thruster 112 is opened, so that gas-water mixed liquid is sprayed out through the jet thruster 112 and the underwater vehicle is rapidly pushed to move forward, and the above process is repeated to make the underwater vehicle have power for continuing to move forward even if there is no external force. After a reaction in the power reaction cabin 110 generates gas and pressure, the jet thruster 112 is turned off, so that the underwater printer stops moving forward.
[49] The spinning nozzle 222 between the spinning cabin 210 and the spinning agent storage cabin 220 is turned on, the spinning agent 221 is contained in the spinning agent storage cabin 220, when the underwater unmanned vehicle continues to move forward, the second electric cylinder 231 drives the second connecting rod 232 and then drives the second piston 233 to squeeze the spinning agent 221 in the spinning agent storage cabin 220, the spinning agent is sprayed into the spinning cabin 210 through the spinning nozzle 222, water is fed through a left opening and the water inlet supplementing ports 211 of the spinning cabin 210, so that the water enters the spinning cabin 210 and is mixed with the spinning agent 221 entering from the spinning agent storage cabin 220 for solidification, and a three-dimensional solid structure is rapidly constructed.
[50] When the power material 121 in the power material storage cabin 120 or the spinning agent 221 in the spinning agent storage cabin 220 is used up, the connection component 400 is controlled, and the connection between the power device 100 and the printing device 200 is opened by counterspiral rotation of the first spirally connected tooth 135 and the second spirally connected tooth 235; then the power device 100 or the printing device 200 filled with the power material 121 or the spinning agent 221 is used
BL-5633 for corresponding replacement; it can be understood that these replacement assemblies LU503584 may come from a mother underwater ship, so as to achieve continuous underwater printing.
[51] The control module 300 relies on the environment sensor, the depth sensor, the temperature sensor, the controller, the main control board, the energy management board, the radio station component, the positioning module, the attitude sensor module, the electronic compass module and the battery to adjust a state of an underwater vehicle, speeds of forward moving, backward moving, and floating up and down, as well as the transmission function of information.
[52] In summary: the underwater printer can realize underwater movable 3D printing; in the present invention, 3D printing under water is realized, and enables rapid construction of a 3D object at fixed points or in motion; the 3D object is suitable for being constructed in deep water areas, is small in volume and not easy to be detected by radar, and has higher maneuverability. Besides, the power device and the printing device of the present invention may be separated, and are connected in a screw-in connection manner and separated in a screw-out separation manner. Since consumption rates of the spinning material in the spinning material storage cabin and the power material in the power material storage cabin are inconsistent, when one of the two cabins consumes the material first, the printing device and the power device may be separated by rotary disengaging, and a cabin with sufficient materials in a prepared backup power device or printing device is selected underwater for connection again, and then continues to work without interruption. Compared with an original design, the efficiency is higher and maneuverability is higher. Since the printer does not need to emerge from the water for manual replacement, and underwater automatic replacement mode is used, it is more concealed and has a higher intelligence degree. 6
