Intelligent 3D printer based on Internet of Things

Abstract

The invention relates to an intelligent 3D printer based on the Internet of Things. The 3D printer comprises a recycling mechanism, a top plate, a hopper, a material conveying mechanism, a feeding pipe, a spraying head, a plane moving mechanism and two supporting units. The two supporting units are arranged at the two ends of the recycling mechanism correspondingly; the top plate is erected on the two supporting units; the plane moving mechanism is arranged between the two supporting units; the supporting units are in transmission connection with the plane moving mechanism; and the spraying head is arranged below the plane moving mechanism. According to the intelligent 3D printer based on the Internet of Things, the material conveying mechanism provides quantitative powder for the spraying head to conduct printing, and the internal structure is simple, so that the conveying efficiency is improved while the cost of equipment is reduced, and the printing efficiency is guaranteed; and in addition, the printing platform tilts through a overturning mechanism inside the recycling mechanism, and defective raw materials are left in recycling boxes inside a box body, so that convenient recycling and cyclic utilization of raw materials are achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of 3D printers, in particular to an intelligent 3D printer based on the Internet of Things. Background technique [0002] 3D printer, also known as three-dimensional printer, is a kind of accumulative manufacturing technology, that is, a machine of rapid prototyping technology. Layers of bonded material are used to create three-dimensional objects. At this stage, 3D printers are used to manufacture products. Objects are constructed by printing layer by layer, and data and raw materials are put into the 3D printer. The machine will manufacture products layer by layer according to the program.

Problems solved by technology

[0003] For 3D printers that use powdered metal as raw material, when the nozzle is printing, it is necessary to continuously provide a quantitative amount of material to the nozzle. In the existing printer, the calculation is performed through precision instruments and equipment, and then the material is delivered through the transmission device. Although It meets the printing needs, but due to the high cost of the instrument and the need for quantitative calculation processing at the same time, the work efficiency is low, which affects the printing efficiency of the 3D printer. Not only that, after the printing is completed, there are usually some metal raw materials left on the printing platform Powder, although these metal powders can be recycled and reused, people have not paid enough attention to them. Usually, these metal powder raw materials are wiped off while wiping the printing platform, which causes a waste of raw materials and is not conducive to the repeated recycling of resources.
