Synchronous wire transport mechanism for docking of 3D printer wire body consumables

Abstract

The invention provides a synchronous wire conveying mechanism for butt joint of wire consumables of a 3D printer. The mechanism comprises a casing, wherein a handle, a wire serial connecting device and a transmission mechanism are mounted in the casing; the wire serial connecting device comprises a first wire serial connecting mechanism and a second wire serial connecting mechanism; a wire consumable to be serially connected is led out of each of the first wire serial connecting mechanism and the second wire serial connecting mechanism, a spacer region between the first wire serial connectingmechanism and the second wire serial connecting mechanism is a thermal joining region; the transmission mechanism receives pushing force generated by handle movement and transmits the pushing force tothe first wire serial connecting mechanism and the second wire serial connecting mechanism; the first wire serial connecting mechanism and the second wire serial connecting mechanism convey the wireconsumables to the thermal joining region under the action of pushing force and complete serial connection in the thermal joining region; the moving state of the wire serial connecting device can be divided into a conveying state of conveying the consumables to the thermal joining region, a melting state when the free ends of the consumables absorb heat a re-conveying state of continuing conveyingthe consumables to the thermal joining region, a serial connecting state of contacting and joining free ends of the consumables, and a flat state of deburring at thermal junctions of the consumables.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of 3D printers, in particular to a device for serially connecting consumables of 3D printers. Background technique [0002] At present, with the increasing popularity of 3D printing technology and its use in teaching, production, processing, and testing, 3D printers will have a small amount of redundant consumables during the printing process. This part of the consumables is not enough to support the next printing. For the rest of this part Consumables, the existing technology cannot recycle their raw materials, and can only be discarded, which makes 3D printing consumables wasteful and pollutes the environment; in addition, the existing ordinary 3D printers basically cannot realize multi-color printing of objects , but through special wiring equipment, this part of the vacancy can be made up. The specific operation is: calculate the length and sorting of the corresponding color consumables, connect multiple...

[0002] At present, with the increasing popularity of 3D printing technology and its use in teaching, production, processing, and testing, 3D printers will have a small amount of redundant consumables during the printing process. This part of the consumables is not enough to support the next printing. For the rest of this part Consumables, the existing technology cannot recycle its raw materials, and can only be discarded, which makes 3D printing consumables wasteful and pollutes the environment; in addition, the existing ordinary 3D printers basically cannot realize multi-color printing of objects , but through special wiring equipment, this part of the vacancy can be made up. The specific operation is: calculate the length and sorting of the corresponding color consumables, connect multiple consumables in series through the special wiring equipment, and the concatenated multi-color consumables enter the 3D printer After that, the multi-color printing of the object can be completed in an orderly manner
