More specifically, the present invention relates to a modeling material ejection head and a modeling method that can be manufactured at low cost and that allow easy control of the modeling material ejection.
- a three-dimensional model is expressed as an aggregate of cross-sectional shapes. Therefore, the three-dimensional printer forms a modeled object by discharging the modeling material to a predetermined place while the nozzle for discharging the modeling material is moved three-dimensionally or the table on the modeled object side is moved.
- a material for forming such a modeled object there is a material that is brought into a molten state by increasing the temperature, such as a thermoplastic resin or a metal having a low melting point.
- an optical modeling method in which light is selectively cured by applying light to a photocurable resin (such as an ultraviolet curable resin), or a layered modeling is performed by discharging a photocurable resin, a thermoplastic resin, wax, or the like from an inkjet nozzle.
- a photocurable resin such as an ultraviolet curable resin
- An ink jet method is known.
- a reactive curing method in which a curing agent is discharged after a resin main agent is discharged is also known.
- FIG. 17 As an apparatus for discharging such a modeling material, for example, an apparatus having a structure as shown in FIG. 17 is known (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1). That is, in FIG. 17, the nozzle 61 is screwed into one end side of the heater block 63, the barrel 62 is screwed into the other end side, and a wire-shaped or rod-shaped modeling material is inserted into the barrel 62. Then, the modeling material is fed at a constant rate by the barrel 62, and the modeling material is heated and melted by the heat of the heater block 63, and the molten modeling material is discharged from the discharge port 61 a at the tip of the nozzle 61 by a certain amount.
- the position of the discharge port 61a is controlled by a computer so as to draw a desired three-dimensional figure and is relatively moved in the xyz direction. Thereby, the modeling object of a desired three-dimensional shape is produced by discharging the fuse
- a heater (not shown) is provided around the heater block 63, and the heater block 63 is raised to a predetermined temperature so that the modeling material is melted.
- ink droplets are ejected from a plurality of nozzles to form an image on a predetermined recording medium.

- a thermal ink jet system in which a heater (heating element) is disposed on the bottom surface of a nozzle, foamed by extreme heating by the heater, and the bubbles are discharged by combining and boiling.
- the structure in which the cylindrical nozzle 61 and the barrel 62 are manufactured and fixed to the heater block 63 has a problem that the material cost and the manufacturing cost increase. Furthermore, it is necessary to open through holes one by one in the heater block 63 and cut screw holes, and there is a problem that the overall discharge device including the heater block is enlarged. Furthermore, since the modeling material is heated by the heater from the outside of the heater block 63, it becomes indirect heating and the thermal efficiency is poor.

Since both of them are connected in series, the current is the same, and the amount of heat generation increases in the portion having the larger resistance value. Accordingly, the substrate temperature can be further increased in the portion of the second heating resistor 22b.

- the temperature in the vicinity of the discharge port is high and the liquid can be discharged with good fluidity. That is, in the conventional heater block in which the entire temperature is constant, it is necessary to increase the temperature of the entire heater block in order to prevent the temperature on the discharge port side from decreasing, but the temperature at the center of the heater block is reduced. If it is too high, decomposition and vaporization of the modeling material will begin, leading to carbonization, so it will not be possible to raise the temperature too much. Thus, even if the magnitude
- an insulating substrate having excellent thermal conductivity made of alumina or the like is used as the insulating substrate 21, an insulating substrate having excellent thermal conductivity made of alumina or the like is used.

- a voltage can be partially applied by providing electrodes at appropriate positions along the direction of current flow in the heating resistor 22. By doing so, the temperature can be changed from place to place.
- the positive resistance temperature coefficient means that the resistance value increases greatly as the temperature rises. Therefore, when the temperature coefficient of resistance is positive, when the temperature rises excessively, the resistance value increases, the current value decreases, and the amount of heat generated by the resistance decreases. Therefore, the temperature is saturated more quickly, and the temperature stability at high temperature is excellent. Furthermore, overheating due to thermal runaway or the like can be prevented.

- the temperature measuring resistor 24 is not for generating heat, but is provided for detecting the temperature of the insulating substrate 21 and controlling the temperature of the insulating substrate 21 to reach the melting temperature of the modeling material. Therefore, for example, the width is 0.5 mm and the length is slightly shorter than the heating resistor 22. Further, the applied voltage is kept low so that the temperature measuring resistor 24 itself does not generate heat, and, for example, about 5 V is applied. Since the temperature measuring resistor 24 is directly provided on the insulating substrate 21, the temperatures of the two are almost the same.

This measurement position is preferably in the vicinity of the heating resistor 22.

As a result, the modeling material in the flow path 12 is pushed out toward the discharge port 13, and the modeling material is discharged from the discharge port 13. Also in this case, the third heating plate 4 is instantaneously heated, so that the expansion occurs instantaneously. When the heating action is released, the temperature is lowered and the volume is restored.

Or, it is effective when the temperature is different among the plurality of heating resistors 22. Therefore, in the case where a plurality of temperature measuring resistors 24 are provided, it is preferable that the temperature in the vicinity thereof is measured separately, and the applied voltage and the like are adjusted by each heating resistor 22.
