This layer-by-layer stack forming technique is also referred to as additive manufacturing. 3D printing combines cutting-edge technologies in digital modeling technology, electromechanical control technology, information technology, materials science and chemistry, etc. It is a kind of rapid prototyping technology and is known as the core technology of the "third industrial revolution". Compared with traditional manufacturing technology, 3D printing does not need to make molds in advance, it does not have to remove a large amount of materials in the manufacturing process, and the final product can be obtained without complicated forging process. Therefore, structural optimization and material saving can be achieved in production. save energy. 3D printing technology is suitable for new product development, rapid single and small batch parts manufacturing, complex shape parts manufacturing, mold design and manufacturing, etc. It is also suitable for the manufacture of difficult materials, shape design inspection, assembly inspection and fast reverse Seeking engineering and so on. Therefore, the 3D printing industry has received more and more attention at home and abroad, and will become the next sunrise industry with broad development prospects. At present, 3D printing has been applied in the fields of product prototyping, mold making, artistic creative products, jewelry making, etc., and can replace the traditional fine processing technology that these fields rely on. In addition, in the fields of bioengineering and medicine, construction, and clothing, the introduction of 3D printing technology has opened up a broader space for development.
[0005] 然而, 在大型工业级 3D打印机进行打印时, 现有的打印头不能适应现有多种工 业材料, 如注塑材料, 如果要使打印头适应多种材料则需要使用类注塑机的进 料机构, 但是注塑机的进料机构是非常笨重的, 其自重非常大; 而大型 3D打印 机的工作台尺寸非常大, 如果工作台运动而打印头不动, 3D打印机的占地面积 将增加 4倍以上; 体积也将增加若干倍, 所以, 大型 3D打印机需要保持工作台不 动, 而打印头运动, 此时, 打印头的自重就显著影响打印头的运动灵活性、 运 动加速度, 而且打印机为了支撑更重的打印头而保持刚度保持精度, 打印机也 会变的非常笨重, 故而就有降低打印头自重的迫切需求; 同时, 打印头的体积 大也会极大的降低有效行程, 特别是在高度方向有效行程的降低尤为明显, 因 此打印头的自重和体积都迫切需要轻量化、 小型化, 同吋轻量化、 小型化也进 一步降低了工业级 3D打印机的制造成本。 总之, 要满足适应于现有工业材料, 按照现有技术设计的打印头其长度较长、 自重较大, 使 3D打印机体积庞大, 能 耗高, 这些问题亟待解决。 [0005] However, when printing on large industrial-grade 3D printers, existing print heads cannot adapt to a variety of existing industrial materials, such as injection molding materials. If the print head is to be adapted to a variety of materials, it is necessary to use an injection molding machine. Feed mechanism, but the injection mechanism of the injection molding machine is very heavy, its own weight is very large; and the table size of the large 3D printer is very large, if the work table moves and the print head does not move, the footprint of the 3D printer will increase 4 More than double; the volume will also increase several times, so the large 3D printer needs to keep the worktable and the print head moves. At this time, the self-weight of the print head significantly affects the movement flexibility of the print head. Dynamic acceleration, and the printer maintains rigidity to maintain accuracy in order to support heavier printheads, and the printer becomes very cumbersome, so there is an urgent need to reduce the weight of the printhead; at the same time, the bulk of the printhead is greatly reduced. The effective stroke, especially in the height direction, is particularly conspicuous. Therefore, the weight and volume of the print head are urgently required to be lighter and smaller, and the weight reduction and miniaturization of the print head further reduce the manufacturing cost of the industrial grade 3D printer. In short, to meet the needs of existing industrial materials, the print head designed according to the prior art has a long length and a large self-weight, which makes the 3D printer bulky and has high energy consumption, and these problems need to be solved urgently.

This printer employs the 3D printing print head of the present invention. According to the expansion nozzle H, the 3D printing print head is divided into a windless nozzle and a wind nozzle. In addition, an air flow passage may be disposed on the mounting seat, and an annular air chamber is disposed on the inner side wall of the inner hole, and the pressure gas is introduced into the annular air chamber through the air flow passage, and the pressure of the pressure gas is higher than the pressure of the molten material in the third-stage hot runner. In order to achieve the effect of hermetic sealing, the 3D printing print head of the present invention is divided into two types without a separate air seal and a single air seal depending on whether or not it has a separate airtight performance. In the absence of a separate airtight form, the first fluid chamber and the second fluid chamber may also function as a gas seal when a gas or liquid is introduced. If there is a tuyere with or without separate airtightness, four types of print heads for 3D printing are produced, namely no air nozzle and no separate air seal, no air nozzle and separate air seal, air nozzle and no There are four forms of separate hermetic seals, air nozzles, and separate air seals.

In addition, the movement stroke of the cylinder can be used to adjust the flow rate of the discharge material flowing out of the telescopic nozzle valve, so that the print head for 3D printing has two kinds of end flow rate adjustable and end flow rate not adjustable.
[0062] 优选的, 还包括驱动***, 所述驱动***用以驱动所述 3D打印用打印头, 使之 准确运动至三维空间内任意一点。  [0062] Preferably, a driving system is further included, and the driving system is configured to drive the 3D printing print head to accurately move to any point in the three-dimensional space.
[0063] 本发明还提供一种打印方法, 其包括釆用如上述的 3D打印用打印头进行增材制 造的步骤。 The present invention also provides a printing method comprising the steps of additive manufacturing using a print head for 3D printing as described above.
[0064] 本发明的有益效果是: [0064] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0065] 1、 本发明的打印头采用多重螺旋挤出机、 多通道伸缩喷嘴阀, 使打印头的自 重降低、 尺寸降低, 增加了打印头的运动灵活性; 由于采用了螺旋挤出机构, 本发明的打印头适应现有的各种工业材料, 如注塑材料, 使本发明的大型 3D打 印机的适用场景、 适用范围更为广阔; 通过降低打印头的自重, 降低了驱动打 印头的动力机构的工作负担, 降低了制造成本; 通过降低打印头的自重, 进一 步提高了打印的加速度, 也即提高了综合打印速度; [0066] 2、 本发明通过采用多通道伸缩喷嘴阀, 釆用大小口径变化的多个喷嘴, 小口 径喷嘴适用于高精度打印, 大口径喷嘴则提高打印速度; 在不同的吋刻釆用不 同口径的喷嘴, 将 3D打印的速度与精度达到完美统一。 [0065] 1. The print head of the invention adopts a multi-screw extruder and a multi-channel telescopic nozzle valve, so that the self-weight of the print head is reduced and the size is reduced, and the movement flexibility of the print head is increased; The print head of the present invention adapts to various existing industrial materials, such as injection molding materials, to make the application scene and application range of the large 3D printer of the present invention wider; by reducing the weight of the print head, the power mechanism for driving the print head is reduced. The work load reduces the manufacturing cost; by reducing the weight of the print head, the printing acceleration is further improved, that is, the integrated printing speed is improved; [0066] 2. The present invention adopts a multi-channel telescopic nozzle valve, and uses a plurality of nozzles of different sizes and sizes, a small-diameter nozzle is suitable for high-precision printing, and a large-diameter nozzle is used to increase printing speed; The caliber nozzle perfectly combines the speed and accuracy of 3D printing.
[0067] 3、 本发明的挤出机大幅度缩小了长度且直径增加不多, 使工业级 3D打印机的 尺寸可以进一步缩小, 本发明的挤出机相对于现有的挤出机还缩小了体积。  [0067] 3. The extruder of the present invention has a large reduction in length and a small increase in diameter, so that the size of the industrial grade 3D printer can be further reduced, and the extruder of the present invention is further reduced compared to the existing extruder. volume.
[0068] 4、 本发明通过设置多重螺杆, 外层螺杆的直径变大, 在同样的挤出量情况下 导致外层螺杆的螺旋角可以变平缓, 使流体材料在螺杆上的滑差变小, 因此能 产生更大的推进力, 使后级螺杆流道中的材料减少滑动, 使后级螺杆的热流道 中的挤出量更接近于理论值, 经过多级逼近理论值最终实现材料的定压定量稳 定输出。 一级螺杆的直径大于二级螺杆, 二级螺杆的直径大于三级螺杆的直径 , 一级螺杆的导程小于二级螺杆的导程, 二级螺杆的导程小于三级螺杆的导程 , 一级螺杆的螺旋角平缓于二级螺杆的螺旋角, 二级螺杆的螺旋角平缓于三级 螺杆的螺旋角在前两级螺杆的作用下, 物料能保持与第三螺杆相匹配的速度前 进, 这是单一一根螺杆难以做到的。  [0068] 4. By providing a multi-screw, the diameter of the outer screw becomes larger, and the spiral angle of the outer screw can be flattened under the same extrusion amount, so that the slip of the fluid material on the screw becomes smaller. Therefore, it can generate greater propulsive force, reduce the sliding material in the downstream screw flow passage, and make the extrusion amount in the hot runner of the rear-stage screw closer to the theoretical value, and finally achieve the constant pressure of the material after multi-stage approximation theoretical value. Quantitatively stabilize the output. The diameter of the primary screw is larger than that of the secondary screw, the diameter of the secondary screw is larger than the diameter of the tertiary screw, the lead of the primary screw is smaller than the lead of the secondary screw, and the lead of the secondary screw is smaller than the lead of the tertiary screw. The helix angle of the first screw is flat on the helix angle of the secondary screw, and the helix angle of the second screw is gentler than the helix angle of the third screw. Under the action of the first two stages of the screw, the material can maintain the speed matching with the third screw. This is difficult to do with a single screw.
[0069] 5、 螺旋角越陡峭, 物料 (流体或者包含流体的多相物料) 在挤出过程中越容 易打滑, 而一级螺杆的螺旋角很平缓, 物料不容易打滑, 所以虽然二级螺杆、 三级螺杆在挤出过程中, 物料容易打滑, 但是由于一级螺杆在外部, 物料无法 反方向运动, 这就迫使物料单方向向前运动。 如果是单一螺杆, 虽然也可以实 现多级变化, 但是由于直径很接近, 在相同挤出量的情况下, 螺旋角的变化范 围难以有较大的差别, 即使使用不同的直径直线排列 (在直线方向上分段设置 ) 也会导致散热面积大、 热效率降低并且长度增加、 体积变大, 不利于 3D打印 机的轻量化和小型化, 在大型打印机上由于工作台非常巨大, 一般都是打印头 移动, 所增加的重量会影响打印头的打印运动灵活性, 从而降低打印速度, 增 加的重量也使打印机的运动支撑机构的载荷变大, 动态刚度降低, 这些都不利 于高效率、 高精度打印。  [0069] 5. The steeper the helix angle, the easier the material (fluid or multi-phase material containing fluid) to slip during the extrusion process, and the helix angle of the first-stage screw is gentle, the material is not easy to slip, so although the secondary screw, During the extrusion process of the three-stage screw, the material is easy to slip, but since the primary screw is external, the material cannot move in the opposite direction, which forces the material to move forward in a single direction. If it is a single screw, although it is possible to achieve multi-stage variation, since the diameters are very close, it is difficult to make a large difference in the range of the helix angle in the case of the same amount of extrusion, even if linear lines are arranged using different diameters (in a straight line) The segmentation in the direction) also results in a large heat dissipation area, a decrease in thermal efficiency, an increase in length, and a large volume, which is disadvantageous for weight reduction and miniaturization of a 3D printer. In a large printer, since the table is very large, the print head is generally moved. The added weight affects the printing movement flexibility of the print head, thereby reducing the printing speed. The increased weight also increases the load of the motion support mechanism of the printer and reduces the dynamic stiffness, which is not conducive to high efficiency and high precision printing.
[0070] 6、 本发明采用多重回旋挤出技术, 3D打印用物料在连续的 N字形的一级热流 道、 二级热流道、 三级热流道中经过加热熔化、 由于流向反复改变, 搅拌效果 非常明显, 使物料中各组分混合更加均匀, 特别是有些的微量的添加剂在这种 高效的搅拌机制下, 充分分散到材料的各部分, 增加了最终固化材料的各向同 性。 [0070] 6. The invention adopts multiple cyclotron extrusion technology, and the material for 3D printing is heated and melted in a continuous N-shaped first-stage hot runner, second-stage hot runner, and third-stage hot runner, and the stirring effect is very high due to repeated changes in the flow direction. Obviously, the components in the material are more evenly mixed, especially some trace additives in this Under the efficient stirring mechanism, fully dispersed into the various parts of the material increases the isotropy of the final cured material.
[0071] 7、 釆用多重回旋技术在同样的挤出量的情况下长度縮短、 直径略有变大, 但 总的体积和总的表面积减小, 使散热面积减小, 因此能耗低。 热能利用率高, 更加低碳、 绿色、 节能、 环保; 本发明还采用反馈调节机制, 进一步提升了对 输出流量的控制精度。  [0071] 7. With the multiple swirling technique, the length is shortened and the diameter is slightly increased in the case of the same amount of extrusion, but the total volume and the total surface area are reduced, so that the heat dissipation area is reduced, and thus the energy consumption is low. The utility model has high heat utilization rate, is more low carbon, green, energy saving and environmental protection; and the invention also adopts a feedback adjustment mechanism to further improve the control precision of the output flow.
[0072] 8、 本发明提供两种打印头, 一种是无风嘴的 3D打印用打印头, 另一种是有风 嘴的 3D打印用打印头, 釆用风嘴结构, 采用风嘴结构, 则出风均匀, 在出料的 同时还可以实现出风, 且环形出风, 非常适合 3D打印头位置时刻变动的工况, 使气流方向始终保持与刚挤出的物料相一致。 当使用多个喷嘴吋, 工作的喷嘴 可以实现正常出风, 而不工作的喷嘴无法出风, 这就非常便于采用多个喷嘴进 行打印操作。 而釆用风扇进行风冷散热的工艺、 设备, 散热精度低, 噪音大, 能耗高, 且由于不能预判打印头挤出物料的角度, 出风面难以连续跟踪打印头 空间位置、 角度的变化, 导致气流对物料产生不均一的压力, 容易导致产品变 形或者刚挤出的物料的流动、 变形, 这就会影响打印的精度。 本发明解决了这 一疑难, 且本发明结构简单, 不容易发生故障。  [0072] 8. The present invention provides two types of print heads, one is a 3D printing print head without a tuyer, the other is a 3D printing print head with a tuyere, the tuyere structure is adopted, and the tuyere structure is adopted. , the air is evenly distributed, and the air can be discharged at the same time as the discharge, and the annular air outlet is very suitable for the condition that the position of the 3D print head changes at all times, so that the air flow direction is always consistent with the material just extruded. When multiple nozzles are used, the working nozzles can achieve normal airflow, while the non-working nozzles cannot produce air, which makes it easy to print with multiple nozzles. The process and equipment for air-cooling and cooling using a fan have low heat dissipation precision, high noise, high energy consumption, and it is difficult to continuously track the position and angle of the print head due to the inability to predict the angle of the extrusion material of the print head.

One type is a bellless retractable nozzle valve, and the other is a tuyere retractable nozzle valve. One end of the casing 180 is provided with a driving system 110; the screw extrusion system 120 is disposed in the casing 180, and the screw extrusion system 120 is composed of at least two screws that are nested inside and outside, wherein At least one screw is driven by the drive system 110; the telescopic nozzle valve is disposed below the screw extrusion system 120 and below the casing 180, and the material extruded by the screw extrusion system 120 is expanded and contracted. The nozzle valve flows out. The screw extrusion system 120 forms the molten material into a molten material and can be closed by a telescopic nozzle valve. The telescopic nozzle can be set to be multi-channel. Therefore, if the output diameter of each channel is different, the appropriate diameter can be selected according to the need to achieve the balance between printing accuracy and speed.
[0094] 具体而言, 请参阅图 2, 所述螺杆挤出*** 120由外至内依次包括有一级螺杆 12 01、 二级螺杆 1202、 三级螺杆 272, 即采用三重螺杆; 所述一级螺杆 1201、 二级 螺杆 1202内分别设有空腔 (而三级螺杆 272是否呈空腔结构并不限定) ; 所述机 壳 180与一级螺杆 1201之间形成一级热流道, 所述二级螺杆 1202与一级螺杆 1201 之间形成二级热流道, 所述三级螺杆 272与所述二级螺杆 1202之间形成三级热流 道 211 ; 所述三级热流道 211与所述出料歧口 2111相导通; 所述一级热流道、 二 级热流道、 三级热流道 211依次串联相通形成连续的 N字形通道; 所述一级螺杆 1 201、 二级螺杆 1202、 三级螺杆 272中的一个或者多个由驱动*** 110驱动转动。 其中, 所述一级螺杆 1201由驱动*** 110驱动; 所述二级螺杆 1202与机壳 180处 于静止状态。 所述一级热流道和 \或二级热流道和\或三级热流道 211的截面积沿 物料流动方向逐渐降低。 所述三级螺杆 272的下方连接有伸缩喷嘴陶, 所述喷嘴 260***与三级热流道 211处于导通状态; 所述喷嘴 260***的两侧还分别设有压 力传感器 161和流量传感器 162。 所述机壳 180的一侧设有原料进料口 150, 所述 原料进料口 150还与一供料*** 151相连, 所述供料*** 151是气动供料*** 151 , 所述气动供料*** 151将颗粒状或粉末状的物料输送到原料进料口 150并顺次 通过一级热流道、 二级热流道、 三级热流道 211、 喷嘴 260***。 所述二级热流 道、 三级热流道的交汇处上还设有至少一个用以排放物料中气体的微孔。 所述 机壳 180的外侧还设有加热装置。 所述驱动*** 110是减速电机; 所述减速电机 通过法兰盘与一级螺杆 1201可拆卸连接。 在机壳 180上并靠近一级热流道进料端 处形成有进料锥口 1801, 用以提升进料速度。 此外, 所述物料在一级热流道中 的理论挤出量大于物料在二级热流道中的理论基础量, 物料在二级热流道中的 理论挤出量大于物料在三级热流道 211中的理论挤出量, 其中, 物料在三级热流 道 211中的理论挤出量处于物料额定的挤出量阈值范围之内。 要实现同样的挤出 量, 一级螺杆 1201比二级螺杆 1202、 三级螺杆 272的螺旋角要平缓, 从而物料在 一级热流道中不容易滑动, 而物料在二级热流道、 三级热流道中虽然容易滑动 , 但是, 由于一级热流道中的物料产生了封堵效果, 避免物料反方向运动, 这 是釆用单一一根螺杆无法实现的。 Specifically, referring to FIG. 2, the screw extrusion system 120 includes a first stage screw 12 01, a second stage screw 1202, and a third stage screw 272 from the outside to the inside, that is, a triple screw; A cavity is provided in the screw 1201 and the secondary screw 1202 (and whether the three-stage screw 272 has a cavity structure is not limited); a first-stage hot runner is formed between the casing 180 and the primary screw 1201, and the second A secondary hot runner is formed between the stage screw 1202 and the primary screw 1201, and a tertiary hot runner 211 is formed between the tertiary screw 272 and the secondary screw 1202; the tertiary hot runner 211 and the discharge The first port hot runner, the second hot runner, and the third hot runner 211 are connected in series to form a continuous N-shaped channel; the primary screw 1 201, the secondary screw 1202, the third-stage screw One or more of 272 are driven to rotate by drive system 110. Wherein, the primary screw 1201 is driven by the driving system 110; the secondary screw 1202 and the casing 180 are In a static state. The cross-sectional area of the primary hot runner and/or secondary hot runner and/or tertiary hot runner 211 gradually decreases in the direction of material flow. A rotary nozzle is connected to the lower side of the three-stage screw 272, and the nozzle 260 system is in a conducting state with the third-stage hot runner 211; and a pressure sensor 161 and a flow sensor 162 are respectively disposed on both sides of the nozzle 260 system. One side of the casing 180 is provided with a raw material feeding port 150, and the raw material feeding port 150 is also connected to a feeding system 151. The feeding system 151 is a pneumatic feeding system 151, and the pneumatic feeding system System 151 delivers the particulate or powdered material to feed inlet 150 and sequentially through the primary hot runner, secondary hot runner, tertiary hot runner 211, nozzle 260 system. At least one micropore for discharging the gas in the material is further disposed at the intersection of the secondary hot runner and the tertiary hot runner. The outer side of the casing 180 is further provided with a heating device. The drive system 110 is a reduction motor; the reduction motor is detachably connected to the primary screw 1201 through a flange. A feed cone 1801 is formed on the casing 180 near the feed end of the primary hot runner to increase the feed rate. In addition, the theoretical extrusion amount of the material in the primary hot runner is greater than the theoretical basis amount of the material in the secondary hot runner, and the theoretical extrusion amount of the material in the secondary hot runner is greater than the theoretical extrusion of the material in the tertiary hot runner 211. The amount of the theoretical extrusion of the material in the tertiary hot runner 211 is within the threshold of the nominal extrusion amount of the material. To achieve the same amount of extrusion, the first screw 1201 has a gentler helix angle than the secondary screw 1202 and the third-stage screw 272, so that the material does not easily slide in the primary hot runner, and the material is in the secondary hot runner and the tertiary heat flow. Although the road is easy to slide, the material in the first-stage hot runner has a blocking effect, and the material is prevented from moving in the opposite direction, which is impossible to achieve with a single screw.
[0095] 通过设置至少两重螺杆, 形成多重回旋挤出机构, 实现在小空间范围内, 延长 物料输送的长度, 延长了加热时间、 搅拌时间, 使物料加热熔化、 混匀更加彻 底。 且由于螺旋角分三级设置, 有利于物料的稳定输送。 在使用时, 驱动*** 1 10位于机壳 180的上方。 由于物料运送发生多次弯折, 物料的搅拌效果更佳。 本 发明的一个实施例, 所述一级螺杆 1201、 二级螺杆 1202、 三级螺杆 272中的一个 或者多个由驱动*** 110驱动转动。 设置三重螺杆, 这是本发明的优选实施方式 [0095] By providing at least two screws, a multiple-spinning extrusion mechanism is formed, which realizes the length of material transportation in a small space, prolongs the heating time and the stirring time, and heats and melts the materials and mixes them more thoroughly. And because the helix angle is set in three stages, it is beneficial to the stable transportation of materials. In use, the drive system 1 10 is located above the housing 180. Due to the multiple bending of the material transport, the mixing effect of the material is better. In one embodiment of the invention, one or more of the primary screw 1201, the secondary screw 1202, and the tertiary screw 272 are driven to rotate by the drive system 110. A triple screw is provided, which is a preferred embodiment of the invention
[0096] 进一步的拓展而言: 驱动*** 110还可以设置有多个, 如设置驱动***一、 驱 动***二、 驱动***三, 如此, 每一驱动***皆驱动一螺杆。 或者, 设置驱动 ***一、 驱动***二, 驱动***一驱动一级螺杆, 驱动***二驱动三级螺杆, 而二级螺杆处于固定状态。 此外, 作为一种变劣的实施方式, 驱动***单独驱 动三级螺杆, 如此, 也可以保证本发明的实施。 此外, 需要指出的是, 本发明 还可以设置四重螺杆、 五重螺杆、 六重螺杆或者更多重螺杆, 以此来进一步的 增强本发明的功能。 可以预见的是, 通过进一步增加螺杆的数量, 可以进一步 降低挤出机的长度, 但是, 也伴随着加工难度的增高。 此外, 若设置更多重螺 杆则会出现挤出机的宽度增加等情况。 [0096] In further development, the driving system 110 may also be provided with multiple, such as a driving system 1, a driving system 2, and a driving system 3. Thus, each driving system drives a screw. Alternatively, a drive system is provided, a drive system 2, a drive system drives a primary screw, and a drive system 2 drives a tertiary screw. The secondary screw is in a fixed state. Further, as a degraded embodiment, the drive system separately drives the three-stage screw, and thus, the implementation of the present invention can be ensured. Furthermore, it should be noted that the present invention may also be provided with a quadruple screw, a five-prong screw, a six-fold screw or a more heavy screw to further enhance the function of the present invention. It is foreseeable that by further increasing the number of screws, the length of the extruder can be further reduced, but it is also accompanied by an increase in processing difficulty. In addition, if more heavy screws are provided, the width of the extruder will increase.

The difference between the 3D printing print head and the airless 3D printing print head is that the hollow tuyere structure 280 is disposed under the mount 210. The air nozzle structure 280 is divided into a wind nozzle avoidance section 2801, a wind nozzle sealing section 2802, and an air outlet section 2803 from top to bottom. The nozzle nozzle 263 is provided with a nozzle hole 2631 at the end of the printing nozzle 260. a nozzle sealing section 261, a nozzle sealing section 262 and a nozzle protrusion section 263 that cooperate with the tuyere sealing section 2802; the tuyeres structure 280 is circumferentially mounted on the outside of the nozzle 260; the tuyere structure 280 is An air inlet passage 264 is provided for supplying air to the tuyere structure 280. A ventilation space is formed between the nozzle avoidance section 261 and the tuyere avoidance section 2801. At this time, one or several nozzles 260 may be disposed on the tuyere structure 280. If a plurality of printing nozzles 260 are provided, the nozzles 260 are arranged at intervals, such as in a linear or circular arrangement. The nozzle 260 moves under the action of power. When the tuyere sealing section 2802 and the nozzle sealing section 26 2 are in an unsealed fit state, the air inlet passage 264 supplies air to the air outlet section 2803, and the air outlet section 2803 has a cylindrical shape, and the gas is ejected from the air outlet section 2803 and printed. The nozzle 260 acts on the material that has just been extruded. The nozzle 260 moves downwardly, the print nozzle 260 begins to flow out of the 3D printed material, and the wind is released. When the nozzle 260 moves upward, the nozzle seal section 2802 and the nozzle seal section 262 slide and fit the seal. The nozzle 260 immediately stops flowing out of the 3D printing material and immediately stops the wind. Since the cutting force is cut by mechanical force, the discharge immediately stops and the wind also stops immediately. The installation position of the air inlet passage 264 is further defined: the air inlet passage 264 is disposed at an upper side or a top portion of the tuyères sealing section 2802, and when the 3 nozzles 2 60 are moved upward to the tuyere sealing section 2802 and the The nozzle seal section 262 is slidably engaged with the seal portion 264, and the air inlet passage 264 is unable to vent to the wind outlet section 2803, and when the nozzle 260 is moved downward until the tuyere seal section 2 802 is disengaged from the nozzle seal section 262, The air nozzle sealing section 2802 and the nozzle sealing section 2 62 are separated from each other to form a ventilation space, and the air inlet passage 264 is ventilated to the air outlet section 2803 through the ventilation space. [0099] In addition, the lateral width of the nozzle protrusion section 263 is smaller than the opening width of the air outlet section 2803 of the tuyeres structure 280 to form an air outlet gap (outlet air space), such as a cone or a hemisphere. In addition, in order to play a better guiding role, a partial slidable contact is required between the telescopic nozzle avoidance section 261 and the tuyere avoidance section 2801, and the contact portion plays a guiding role when sliding, and the non-contact portion forms an air outlet. space. In order to further enhance the air blowing effect, a plurality of spiral grooves are arranged on the outer contour surface of the nozzle avoiding section 261 to form a spiral wind, thereby improving the cooling effect. As a preferred solution: the inner contour of the air nozzle avoidance section 2801 is a cylindrical surface, and the outer contour of the nozzle avoidance section 261 is an arc-shaped surface which is arranged around the axial direction, and the curved surface is a part of the cylinder And the radius of curvature of the curve of the curved surface in the cross-sectional direction may be less than or equal to the radius of curvature of the cylindrical surface of the tuyere avoidance section 2801, the inner contour of the tuyere avoidance section 2801 The cylindrical surface is tangent to the curved surface on the outer contour of the nozzle cutout 261 to form a contact surface, and the non-contact surface between the two adjacent contact surfaces, the non-contact surface and the contour of the air nozzle avoidance section 2801 A wind space is formed between them.

The path 170 adjusts the power output parameter of the drive system 110 according to the pressure and flow parameter feedback, so that the actual flow rate of the molten material flowing out of the nozzle 260 is within a preset flow threshold range; and further includes a nozzle valve control system 140. The nozzle valve control system 140 includes a gas source that is vented to the second fluid chamber 252 and the first fluid chamber 251 under the control of the control circuit 170. Also included is a pressure measuring device for measuring gas pressure of the second fluid chamber 252, the first fluid chamber 251; the pressure measuring device is connected to the control circuit 170, and the control circuit 170 is based on pressure The parameter feedback returned by the measuring device controls the pressure values of the second fluid chamber 252 and the first fluid chamber 251, thereby achieving the jacking or retracting state of the cylinder 220 and the nozzle 260.

The control circuit 170 sends a control signal to the air source according to the trigger signal to specifically control the opening of the second snorkel. Or close.
[0105] 作为本发明的一个实施例, 本实施例同时实现了气密封功能, 避免物料从筒体 220与内孔之间的间隙流出, 也实现了对筒体 220运动状态的控制, 具有同吋实 现了上述两种功能, 具体方案如下: 在任一时刻, 为了实现气密封, 第一流体 室 251、 第二流体室 252中的一个需要通入压力气体, 并保证压力高于出料通道 2 40内熔融态物料的压力; 并且为了实现驱动效果, 则控制两个流体室内的压力 差即可。 [0105] As an embodiment of the present invention, the air sealing function is realized at the same time in this embodiment, and the material is prevented from flowing out from the gap between the cylinder 220 and the inner hole, and the movement state of the cylinder 220 is also controlled.吋The above two functions are realized, and the specific scheme is as follows: At any time, in order to achieve air sealing, one of the first fluid chamber 251 and the second fluid chamber 252 needs to be supplied with pressurized gas, and the pressure is higher than the discharge passage 2 The pressure of the molten material in 40; and in order to achieve the driving effect, the pressure difference between the two fluid chambers can be controlled.
[0106] 向第一流体室 251内通入气体是最佳的方案, 气体通过内孔与筒体 220的间隙分 布, 气体不会污染打印物料。 而向第一流体室 251、 第二流体室 252内通入液体 则可能造成物料污染向第一流体室 251、 第二流体室 252内通入流动性粉末则可 能导致筒体 220与安装座 210内孔之间的间隙堵塞, 而通入可流动性颗粒, 通过 控制颗粒的粒径, 则既可以起到传力作用, 又可以避免污染物料或者造成堵塞 , 然而, 流动性颗粒不便于传力, 且不便于采用阀来切断动力, 所以, 本本发 明优先釆用气体作为动力, 采用气动方式是最为优选的方式。  [0106] It is an optimum solution to introduce a gas into the first fluid chamber 251, and the gas is distributed through the gap between the inner bore and the cylinder 220, and the gas does not contaminate the printed material. The introduction of liquid into the first fluid chamber 251 and the second fluid chamber 252 may cause material contamination to pass into the first fluid chamber 251 and the second fluid chamber 252 to introduce fluid powder, which may result in the cylinder 220 and the mount 210. The gap between the inner holes is blocked, and the flowable particles are introduced. By controlling the particle size of the particles, the force can be transmitted, and the pollutant material or the blockage can be avoided. However, the fluid particles are not convenient for transmitting force. It is not convenient to use a valve to cut off the power. Therefore, the present invention preferentially uses gas as a power, and the pneumatic method is the most preferable method.
[0107] 当然, 本发明还有一实施例: 向第一流体室 251内通入气体, 向第二流体室 252 内通入液体或气体或流动性颗粒、 流动性粉末, 第一流体室 251内的压力始终高 于出料通道 240内熔融态物料的压力, 由于第一流体室 251更靠近桶体进料口、 限位通槽 2402, 第二流体室 252内的液体不容易 (如液体金属) 等不容易进入出 料通道 240内。 [0108] 对有风嘴的 3D打印头而言, 在喷嘴密封段与喷嘴凸起段之间的交汇处还设有棱 台 2602, 便于采用标准扳手进行安装、 拆卸。 [0107] Of course, there is still another embodiment of the present invention: a gas is introduced into the first fluid chamber 251, and a liquid or gas or fluid particles or a fluid powder is introduced into the second fluid chamber 252, and the first fluid chamber 251 is inside. The pressure of the molten material is always higher than the pressure of the molten material in the discharge passage 240. Since the first fluid chamber 251 is closer to the barrel inlet and the limiting passage 2402, the liquid in the second fluid chamber 252 is not easy (such as liquid metal). It is not easy to enter the discharge channel 240. [0108] For a 3D printhead with a tuyere, a ridge 2602 is also provided at the intersection between the nozzle sealing section and the nozzle boss section for easy installation and disassembly using a standard wrench.

When it is required to accurately print the outer contour of the product, control the opening of the small-diameter nozzle 2 60, when it is necessary to print the inner filling of the product, use the large-diameter nozzle 260, or control to open the plurality of nozzles 260 at the same time to achieve multi-channel And issue materials to further speed up the printing. The invention can also be provided with a tuyere structure 280, which can uniformly wind out cold air (or normal temperature wind) around the material just printed, avoid cooling other materials that have been cooled to an appropriate level, and can enhance the wind force, The air is blown out evenly, and the material is evenly stressed, so that the material is not blown away from the predetermined position. When printing large products, the tuyere structure 280 can also be used to blow hot air, and the blown annular hot air also preheats the upper layer of the cooled material at the next point to be reached by the print head, a small part of the annular hot air. Although the heat is transferred to the just-sprayed printing material, it is only a small part. Moreover, the final temperature of the material can be maintained by reducing the temperature of the printing material flowing out of the nozzle hole 2631 and the heat compensation of the annular hot air. Within the preset range, the blowing of the hot air has no side effects and unexpected effects. In addition, the adjustment of the flow rate of the printing head can adjust the output intensity of the extruder indirectly by adjusting the speed reducing motor, select the nozzle 260 of different calibers, control the distance between the inner wall of the cylinder 220 and the lower end of the valve needle 230, and can also adjust the pneumatic feeding system. The feed rate is further adjusted, and the output flow of the print head can be flexibly adjusted by different levels of adjustment. By providing an electric heating device 1 outside the casing 180 and the mount 210 30, used to heat and melt the material, and to keep warm, and can also adjust the calorific value to achieve sufficient heating and melting, heat preservation effect, to adapt to different kinds of materials. The material also generates gas in the hot runner of the extruder, and the gas can be discharged from the micropores at the intersection of the secondary hot runner and the tertiary hot runner, and the traced material discharged is taken back by the primary screw 1201. Machine, to avoid material loss. The height of the nozzle 260 in the working state is lower than that of the other non-operating nozzles 260, preventing other inoperative nozzles 260 from interfering with the printed product. The pneumatic feeding system of the invention also has the function of drying and preheating the material, so that the pneumatic feeding system is provided with a drying device or a preheating device, so as to prevent the wet material from being blown into the extrusion by the wind. Inside the machine.
[0112] 由于螺旋角三级变化, 物料难以反方向运动, 物料挤出效率高, 输出流量稳定 可靠。 当筒体 220上第二流体室 252的气压低于所述第一流体室 251的气压值, 此 吋, 筒体 220在第一流体室 251的推力下顶出, 出料通道 240打开, 物料从喷嘴孔 2631喷出; 当筒体 220上的第二流体室 252、 第一流体室 251均通入气体, 且第二 流体室 252的气压高于第一流体室 251的压力时, 所述筒体 220在第二流体室 252 的推力下收回, 出料通道 240关闭, 物料不能从喷嘴孔 2631流出 (喷出) 。 本发 明优选采用四个喷嘴 260, 每一喷嘴 260的口径可以根据需要设置 (一般情况下 , 四个喷嘴 260的口径系列变化, 如等差变化、 等比变化) , 当需要某一口径的 喷嘴 260输出物料吋, 可以通过控制气源进而控制某一筒体 220的运行状态, 进 而控制某一筒体 220的开闭, 当然, 本发明还支持多个通道并发出料, 用以实现 更高的功能。 [0112] Due to the three-order change of the helix angle, the material is difficult to move in the opposite direction, the material extrusion efficiency is high, and the output flow rate is stable and reliable. When the air pressure of the second fluid chamber 252 on the cylinder 220 is lower than the air pressure value of the first fluid chamber 251, the cylinder 220 is ejected under the thrust of the first fluid chamber 251, and the discharge passage 240 is opened. Ejected from the nozzle hole 2631; when the second fluid chamber 252 and the first fluid chamber 251 on the cylinder 220 are both filled with gas, and the air pressure of the second fluid chamber 252 is higher than the pressure of the first fluid chamber 251, The cylinder 220 is retracted under the thrust of the second fluid chamber 252, the discharge passage 240 is closed, and the material cannot flow out (spray) from the nozzle hole 2631. Preferably, four nozzles 260 are used in the present invention, and the diameter of each nozzle 260 can be set as needed (generally, the series of diameters of the four nozzles 260 are changed, such as changes in the difference, the ratio changes), when a nozzle of a certain diameter is required. 260 output material 吋, can control the air source to control the running state of a certain cylinder 220, thereby controlling the opening and closing of a certain cylinder 220. Of course, the present invention also supports multiple channels and emits materials for higher realization. The function.
[0113] 对有风嘴的 3D打印头而言, 与无风嘴的不同之处在于: 热态物料经过喷嘴孔 26 31喷出后或喷出时, 喷嘴 260的外周缘喷出环形气流, 用以对刚挤出的热态物料 进行快速冷却, 气流区域为略大于喷嘴 260的环形区域, 气流与打印材料的接触 面积远小于直接釆用风扇或者风机进行散热的接触面积; 当需要加热吋, 喷嘴 2 60的外周缘喷出热态气流, 用以实现加热, 提高待挤出热态物料与已打印部分 的粘合效果。 伸缩喷嘴阀开启时, 才能出风; 若伸缩喷嘴阀关闭, 则不能出风 ; 当打印头具有多个打印嘴时, 正在出料的喷嘴 260才能同时出风, 用以实现出 风、 出料的同步进行, 当需要冷却吋, 则吹出冷风或者常温下的气流, 用以将 刚挤出的物料快速冷却, 对它部分则不会造成冷却, 其他部分不再一一赘述。 [0114] 对于有风嘴的 3D打印头, 风嘴结构 280内部还设有一多通阔结构用以将气体分 流。 由于在制造的吋候, 安装座 210采用叠片的形式, 而风嘴结构 280可拆卸的 安装在安装座 210的底部。 此吋, 无风嘴 3D打印头与有风嘴 3D打印头区别在于风 嘴结构 280, 可以根据具体的需要决定是否增加风嘴结构 280, 若釆用无风嘴的 3 D打印打印头, 则需要配合风机或者风扇进行风冷。 [0113] For a 3D printhead having a tuyère, the difference from the tuyere is that: after the hot material is ejected through the nozzle hole 26 31 or ejected, the outer circumference of the nozzle 260 ejects the annular airflow. It is used for rapid cooling of the hot material just extruded, the airflow area is slightly larger than the annular area of the nozzle 260, and the contact area of the airflow with the printing material is much smaller than the contact area for directly dissipating heat by the fan or the fan; The outer circumference of the nozzle 2 60 ejects a hot gas stream for heating to improve the adhesion of the hot material to be extruded to the printed portion. When the telescopic nozzle valve is opened, the air can be ventilated; if the telescopic nozzle valve is closed, the air can not be ventilated; when the print head has a plurality of printing nozzles, the nozzle 260 being discharged can simultaneously emit air for the purpose of discharging and discharging. Simultaneously, when cooling enthalpy is required, cold air or airflow at normal temperature is blown to rapidly cool the material that has just been extruded, and some of it will not be cooled, and the other parts will not be described again. [0114] For a 3D printhead with a tuyere, the tuyere structure 280 is also internally provided with a multi-wide structure for shunting the gas. Since the mount 210 is in the form of a lamination at the time of manufacture, the tuyere structure 280 is detachably mounted at the bottom of the mount 210. In this case, the tuyere 3D print head is different from the tuyered 3D print head in the tuyere structure 280, and whether or not the tuyere structure 280 can be added according to specific needs, if the 3D print print head with the tuyère is used, It needs to be air cooled with a fan or fan.
[0115] 综上所述, 釆用伸缩喷嘴阀, 喷嘴 260口径可切换, 打印精细的外轮廓吋, 切 换到小口径喷嘴 260, 当打印没有精度要求的内部填充吋, 则使用远大于小口径 喷嘴 260的大口径喷嘴 260, 使打印速度提升数倍。 当打印进行到空白区时, 打 印材料会从喷嘴孔 2631的末端由阀针 230和喷嘴 260之间的机械力剪断材料, 并 保持了内部的压力不至于因材料泄漏而变动, 走过空白区重新打印吋, 不需要 重建压力使打印更加稳定。 当两种以上材料在同一打印机上打印时或者使用两 种口径不同的喷嘴 260时, 不使用的喷嘴 260在关断的过程中, 自动的离开了正 在打印的平面, 不会对已经打印的平面有任何的划伤。 本发明釆用流体传力控 制, 流体可以是气体、 液体、 液态金属、 可流动的粉末、 可流动的颗粒等, 其 流体阀远离打印的高温区可以远程的控制多个喷嘴 260的开闭。  [0115] In summary, the telescopic nozzle valve is used, the nozzle 260 can be switched in a circular shape, and the fine outer contour 打印 is printed, and the small-diameter nozzle 260 is switched. When the internal filling 没有 without precision is printed, the use is much larger than the small diameter. The large diameter nozzle 260 of the nozzle 260 increases the printing speed by several times. When the printing proceeds to the blank area, the printing material cuts the material from the end of the nozzle hole 2631 by the mechanical force between the valve needle 230 and the nozzle 260, and maintains the internal pressure so as not to change due to material leakage, passing through the blank area. After reprinting, there is no need to rebuild the pressure to make the print more stable. When two or more materials are printed on the same printer or when two nozzles 260 having different calibers are used, the nozzles 260 that are not used automatically leave the plane being printed during the shutdown process, and do not face the already printed plane. Have any scratches. The present invention is controlled by fluid force transfer. The fluid may be a gas, a liquid, a liquid metal, a flowable powder, a flowable particle, etc., and the fluid valve remotely controls the opening and closing of the plurality of nozzles 260 away from the printed high temperature zone.
