随着科技的发展,3D打印技术越来越普遍地应用于各个领域,与此同时,3D打印技术也以更多种类型产品的形式出现在人们的生活中,常见的产品有3D打印机和3D打印笔。With the development of science and technology, 3D printing technology is more and more widely used in various fields. At the same time, 3D printing technology also appears in people's life in the form of more types of products. Common products include 3D printers and 3D printers. printing pen.
3D打印机与普通打印机工作原理基本相同,只是打印材料有些不同,普通打印机的打印材料是墨水和纸张,而3D打印机内装有金属、陶瓷、塑料、砂等不同的“打印材料”,是实实在在的原材料,打印机与电脑连接后,通过电脑控制可以把“打印材料”一层层叠加起来,最终把计算机上的蓝图变成实物。通俗地说,3D打印机是可以“打印”出真实的3D物体的一种设备,比如打印一个机器人、打印玩具车,打印各种模型,甚至是食物等等。The working principle of 3D printers is basically the same as that of ordinary printers, but the printing materials are somewhat different. The printing materials of ordinary printers are ink and paper, while 3D printers are equipped with different "printing materials" such as metal, ceramics, plastics, sand, etc., which are real. After the printer is connected to the computer, the "printed materials" can be superimposed layer by layer through computer control, and finally the blueprint on the computer can be turned into a real object. In layman's terms, a 3D printer is a device that can "print" a real 3D object, such as printing a robot, printing a toy car, printing various models, or even food.
3D打印笔,与3D打印机通过机械臂带动打印喷头的移动实现3D打印不同的是:3D打印笔由人手操控,3D打印笔可以根据人的意愿来实现立体作画,也就是说,用户仅仅需要通过传统的画笔操作就能够在三维环境下绘制立体图案。目前,3D打印笔采用热熔沉积技术,其内的笔墨采用热熔材料,例如PLA(聚乳酸)材料或ABS(丙烯腈-丁二烯-苯乙烯共聚物)材料,通常也称为耗材。在使用过程中,3D打印笔内的热熔材料经过加热后从笔头喷出,然后热熔材料冷却形成3D绘制的图案。The 3D printing pen is different from the 3D printer that realizes 3D printing through the movement of the printing nozzle driven by the mechanical arm: the 3D printing pen is controlled by human hands, and the 3D printing pen can realize three-dimensional painting according to the wishes of the person, that is to say, the user only needs to pass Traditional brush operations can draw three-dimensional patterns in a three-dimensional environment. At present, the 3D printing pen adopts hot-melt deposition technology, and the ink inside it is made of hot-melt materials, such as PLA (polylactic acid) material or ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer) material, which are also commonly called consumables. During use, the hot-melt material in the 3D printing pen is heated and ejected from the pen tip, and then the hot-melt material cools down to form a 3D drawn pattern.
现有的一种3D绘图笔包括笔壳,该笔壳的内部沿其长度方向开设有一料道,所述料道的出口端连通3D绘图笔的喷嘴,所述进丝机构设置于所述笔壳的内腔,该进丝机构包括蜗杆及驱动电机,所述蜗杆的轴向方向与所述料道的长度方向平行,所述蜗杆具有至少两个螺旋齿,所述笔壳内对应所述蜗杆开设有一容纳槽,该容纳槽的一侧贯穿所述料道,通过所述驱动电机驱动蜗杆作旋转运动,蜗杆上的螺旋齿转动切入耗材,带动耗材螺旋推进。An existing 3D drawing pen includes a pen shell, and the inside of the pen shell is provided with a feeder along its length direction, the outlet end of the feeder is connected to the nozzle of the 3D drawing pen, and the wire feeding mechanism is arranged on the pen. The inner cavity of the shell, the wire feeding mechanism includes a worm and a drive motor, the axial direction of the worm is parallel to the length direction of the material channel, the worm has at least two helical teeth, and the pen housing corresponds to the The worm is provided with a receiving groove, and one side of the receiving groove runs through the material channel, and the driving motor drives the worm to rotate, and the helical teeth on the worm rotate and cut into the consumables, driving the consumables to spirally advance.
上述产品中,推进耗材前进的主要结构是螺旋齿,结合附图可以看出,螺旋齿具有连续不断的螺纹。实际使用发现,耗材(一般为塑料丝)与螺纹接触时摩檫力特别大,导致耗材通过后的粗细变化特别大且前后不一致。具体的情况是,对耗材的粗细要求特别高,若是正公差一点,耗材进不去,电机转不动;负公差一点,耗材就会打滑。另外,螺旋齿设置在耗材一侧,导致耗材受力不均,进而导致耗材通过后的一致性进一步降低。In the above-mentioned products, the main structure for advancing consumables is the helical tooth. It can be seen from the attached drawings that the helical tooth has continuous threads. In actual use, it is found that the frictional force of consumables (usually plastic filaments) is particularly large when they are in contact with the thread, resulting in a particularly large change in the thickness of the consumables after they pass through and are inconsistent. The specific situation is that the requirements for the thickness of consumables are particularly high. If the tolerance is a little positive, the consumables will not enter and the motor will not be able to rotate; if the tolerance is a little negative, the consumables will slip. In addition, the helical teeth are arranged on one side of the consumables, resulting in uneven stress on the consumables, which further reduces the consistency of the consumables after they pass through.

上述的结构方案中,关于咬合弹性片体5的数量并未作出特殊限定,可以是一个,也可以是多个。优选的,所述的咬合弹性片体5有多个且相互间断设置。采用上述优选的结构方案,一方面是数量上,单个的形式受力必然存在不均衡的缺陷,因此采用多个可以更好地作用于耗材并使得作用力更加均衡;另一方面,现有的螺旋齿是连续不断的,因此当前段的螺纹导致与耗材的接触过松或过紧后,后续段的螺纹会跟随前段的螺纹的路径并出现同样的问题,因此采用多个咬合弹性片体5之间相互间断设置的方式,能够使得多个咬合弹性片体5对耗材作用时存在切入量较大的区段,也存在切入量较小(最小为0)的区段,两者切入量落差更大,进而对耗材的直径公差要求降低了,且使得进丝驱动的效果更佳。In the above-mentioned structural solution, there is no special limitation on the number of engaging
咬合弹性片体5的数量和排布方式多种多样,在此提供几种优选方式:一、所述的咬合弹性片体5有2个且呈中心对称设置。二、所述的咬合弹性片体5有3个且间隔120度均匀排布。三、所述的咬合弹性片体5有4个且间隔90度均匀排布。在使用效果和生产加工难度综合考量,上述3种组合均是较佳的方案。The number and arrangement of the engaging
咬合弹性片体5的设置使用,最关键的点是其与耗材之间能够形成螺旋升角ω。具体的,螺旋升角ω=arctan[P/(π×(D-2×af))],P为耗材导程,D为耗材外径,af为切入量;其中,耗材导程P=F/(n×π×(D/2)^2),其中F为耗材挤出量,n为驱动装置1的转速。The most critical point in the setting and use of the engaging
举例,一般认为切入量af为单边0.3mm为佳,耗材外径D以1.75mm,3D打印笔适合用户手动操作的耗材挤出量F为76-860mm^3/min,由于驱动力矩的原因驱动装置1的转速n需要减速至60r/min,故可根据公式推算出螺旋升角范围在8.3°≤ω≤58.8°较为适宜。更优选的,考虑到螺旋升角超过45度时,根据力的分解,此时对耗材的向前的推力会小于旋转力,故最大角度不建议超过45°。综上,将螺旋升角范围控制在8.3°≤ω≤45°最佳。For example, it is generally believed that the cut-in amount af is 0.3mm on one side, the outer diameter D of the filament is 1.75mm, and the extrusion volume F of the filament that is suitable for manual operation by the user is 76-860mm^3/min. Due to the driving torque The speed n of the
