Problems solved by technology

The traditional 3D printer is a dot printing fixed direct extrusion type. When the model is printed, it needs to use slicing software to slice the model; but the side convex part of the sliced ​​figure needs to be printed with a bracket as the support of the side convex part (such as the handshake of the water cup). This printing method will inadvertently prolong the printing time and waste printing consumables, and some single-nozzle printers use the same printing material as a support, and it is difficult to separate the finished product from the support after printing, and even cause damage to the printed finished product

Embodiment 1

[0039] Example 1: Such as Figure 1-2 As shown, the present invention provides a rotating spray head device, including: a support shaft 1, a rotating shaft 2 and a spray head 4;

[0040] The supporting shaft 1 is installed at the bottom of the body of the 3D printer, one end of the rotating shaft 2 is connected to the supporting shaft 1 through a rotating node 3, and a nozzle 4 is installed on the other end;

[0041] A driver 5 and a sensor 6 are provided in the rotating node 3;

[0042] The sensor 6 is respectively connected to the 3D printer processor and the driver 5. The 3D printer processor is used for slicing processing, determines the rotation angle of the nozzle 4 when printing in the printing area to be supported, and sends the rotation angle to the sensor 6, and the sensor 6 transmits the rotation angle to Drive 5;

[0043] The driver 5 is connected to the rotating node 3, and the driver 5 drives the rotating node 3 to rotate a corresponding angle according to the rotation ...

Embodiment 2

[0044] Example 2: Such as image 3 As shown, the present invention provides a 3D printer, including: the above-mentioned rotating nozzle device, a body 7, a printing base 9 and a scanner 10;

[0045] A processor 8 is provided in the body 7. The processor 8 includes a slicing unit 8-1 and a picture storage unit 8-2, and the picture storage unit 8-2 is connected to the slicing unit 8-1;

[0046] The supporting shaft 1 of the rotating nozzle device is vertically installed at the bottom of the body 7, and the supporting shaft can realize two-dimensional movement on the bottom plane of the body 7, while the supporting shaft 1 remains perpendicular to the bottom of the body 7 during the movement; the sensor 6 of the rotating nozzle device It is connected to the slicing unit 8-1, and is used to receive the information about the rotation angle of the node that needs to be supported in the printing area calculated by the slicing unit 8-1 when slicing; the nozzle 4 of the rotating nozzle devi...

Embodiment 3

[0048] Example 3: Such as Figure 4 As shown, the present invention provides a 3D printer printing method, which can realize the shape of the printed object such as Figure 5 Shown, but the shape of the printed object is not limited to Figure 5 Several object structures shown; including:

[0049] S1. Turn on the printer, and the user judges whether the picture to be printed is in the picture storage unit. If it is in the picture storage unit, the picture to be printed is transferred to the slicing unit for size scaling and slicing; if the picture to be printed is not in the picture storage unit, The image storage unit scans the object to be printed through the scanner, and performs corresponding scaling processing on the scanned image and stores it in the image storage unit or imports the object image to be printed into the image storage unit.

[0050] S2. Analyze the posture of the printed model before slicing, and place it according to the optimal posture of the printed model (th...

Abstract

The invention discloses a rotating nozzle device, a 3D printer and a printing method. The rotating nozzle device comprises a supporting shaft, a rotating shaft and a nozzle. The supporting shaft is mounted at the bottom of the body of the 3D printer. One end of the rotating shaft is connected with the supporting shaft through a rotating joint, and the other end of the rotating shaft is provided with the nozzle. A driver and a sensor are arranged inside the rotating joint. The sensor is connected with a processor and the driver of the 3D printer. The driver is connected with the rotating joint. According to the rotating nozzle device, the 3D printer and the printing method, the traditional morphological structure of the printing nozzle is broken through, and the problem that the side protruding part of a printed model needs to be supported is solved; printing materials are reduced, printing efficiency is improved, and the integrity of the finally-printed model is guaranteed; convenience is brought to switching of the nozzle directions in the printing process, and the flexibility of the rotating nozzle for printing the 3D model is improved.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of 3D printing, in particular to a rotating nozzle device, a 3D printer and a printing method. Background technique [0002] With the era of modern technological progress, the printing technology of 3D printers has entered an era of rapid development. 3D printers are involved in a wide range of fields including industrial manufacturing, medical and health, and modern scientific research model fields. The traditional 3D printer is a dot-printing fixed direct-extrusion type. When the model is printed, the model needs to be sliced ​​with a slicing software; but the lateral convex part of the sliced ​​figure needs to be supported by the printing bracket (such as the handshake of the water cup) Place) This printing method will inadvertently extend the printing time and waste printing consumables. Moreover, some single-jet printers use the same printing material as the support. The finished product is difficult to separate from ...
