Description
技术领域 technical field
本发明涉及三维打印成型技术领域,更具体地,涉及一种压电式喷射三维打印成型系统及其成型方法。The present invention relates to the technical field of three-dimensional printing molding, and more specifically, to a piezoelectric jetting three-dimensional printing molding system and a molding method thereof.
背景技术 Background technique
三维打印快速成型技术最早由美国麻省理工学院Emanuel Sachs等人研制,是目前快速成型领域最具生命力的技术之一,有广阔的应用前景。该技术是一种基于“离散/堆积”思想的增长型制造技术,利用计算机技术将三维CAD模型沿一个方向离散成一系列二维截面图,然后根据截面图信息,逐层打印堆积成型。在每一层打印中,利用精密喷头在预先铺好的粉末平面上喷射粘结溶液,将喷射区域内的粉末粘结起来,然后将已打印的粉末平面下降一定高度并在上面铺上一层粉末,准备下一截面图的打印。如此循环,逐层粘结堆积,直到整个CAD模型的所有截面图全部打印完成,经过后处理,除去未粘结的粉末,就形成了实体三维模型。The 3D printing rapid prototyping technology was first developed by Emanuel Sachs of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and others. It is currently one of the most vital technologies in the field of rapid prototyping and has broad application prospects. This technology is a growth-oriented manufacturing technology based on the idea of "discrete/stack". It uses computer technology to discretize the 3D CAD model into a series of 2D cross-sectional views in one direction, and then prints and accumulates them layer by layer according to the information of the cross-sectional views. In each layer of printing, the precision nozzle is used to spray the bonding solution on the pre-laid powder plane to bond the powder in the spray area, and then the printed powder plane is lowered to a certain height and a layer is laid on it Powder, ready for printing of the next cross-section. This cycle is repeated and stacked layer by layer until all cross-sectional drawings of the entire CAD model are printed. After post-processing, unbonded powder is removed to form a solid 3D model.
它能根据产品的三维模型数据,迅速而精确地制造出该产品,而不借助传统的零件制造过程需要的车、铣、刨、磨、钳等多种机加工设备和模具,成本低,耗时短。三维打印快速成型技术在成型精度、设备价格、对环境污染、成型周期和原料多样性等方面相对于其他快速成型方法占据优势。与光固化快速成型、分层实体制造法和选择性激光烧结快速成型技术相比,三维打印快速成型技术具有设备价格低、成型精度高、环境污染小的优势。与熔融沉积快速成型技术相比,三维打印快速成型技术能够成型材料种类较多,且制件时间比较短。三维打印快速成型技术已广泛应用于原型快速制造,模具快速制造,功能部件制造,医学模型,制药工程,组织工程等领域。It can quickly and accurately manufacture the product according to the three-dimensional model data of the product, without resorting to various machining equipment and molds such as turning, milling, planing, grinding, and pliers required in the traditional part manufacturing process, with low cost and low consumption. short time. 3D printing rapid prototyping technology has advantages over other rapid prototyping methods in terms of molding accuracy, equipment price, environmental pollution, molding cycle and raw material diversity. Compared with photocuring rapid prototyping, layered solid manufacturing method and selective laser sintering rapid prototyping technology, 3D printing rapid prototyping technology has the advantages of low equipment price, high molding precision and less environmental pollution. Compared with fused deposition rapid prototyping technology, 3D printing rapid prototyping technology can form more types of materials, and the production time is relatively short. 3D printing rapid prototyping technology has been widely used in rapid prototype manufacturing, mold rapid manufacturing, functional parts manufacturing, medical models, pharmaceutical engineering, tissue engineering and other fields.
然而,目前在三维打印快速成型领域中,一般都采用热气泡式喷嘴喷射成型材料或者粘结材料,通过加热产生热气泡的方式来产生微滴。这种方式不可避免地对喷射的材料性质产生影响,特别是对三维打印快速成型技术在生物、制药等新兴领域的应用约束较大。三维打印成型系统一般都是将粘结成分添加到溶液中,受喷射时的粘度限制,粘结成分含量往往不足,粘结强度不够理想。另外,现有的快速成型系统结构复杂,控制精度不够,而且成型所需的粉末以及粘结剂价格昂贵,这些都限制了进一步的推广使用。However, currently in the field of 3D printing rapid prototyping, hot bubble nozzles are generally used to spray molding materials or bonding materials, and generate microdroplets by heating to generate thermal bubbles. This method inevitably has an impact on the properties of the jetted material, especially the application of 3D printing rapid prototyping technology in emerging fields such as biology and pharmaceuticals. The 3D printing system generally adds the bonding components to the solution. Due to the limitation of the viscosity during injection, the content of the bonding components is often insufficient, and the bonding strength is not ideal. In addition, the existing rapid prototyping system has a complex structure, insufficient control precision, and the powder and binder required for molding are expensive, which limit further popularization and use.

所述铺粉机构设置在所述承载结构上随其X向运动而运动,并按照所述三维图像分层离散机构所设定的层高依次将相应高度的粉末材料从所述储粉腔推动转移到成型腔;The powder spreading mechanism is set on the bearing structure and moves with its X-direction movement, and pushes the powder materials of corresponding heights from the powder storage chamber sequentially according to the layer height set by the three-dimensional image layering discrete mechanism transfer to the forming cavity;
所述压电式喷头设置在所述承载结构上随其X向运动而运动,同时可沿着垂直于X轴方向的Y轴方向往复移动,用于向被所述铺粉机构依次推至成型腔的粉末材料分别喷射作为粘结剂的溶液,由此执行对粉末材料的粘结成型。The piezoelectric nozzle is set on the supporting structure to move with its X-direction movement, and at the same time, it can reciprocate along the Y-axis direction perpendicular to the X-axis direction, and is used to be pushed to the molding by the powder spreading mechanism in turn. The powder material of the cavity is sprayed with a solution as a binder, respectively, thereby performing bond molding of the powder material.
通过本发明的以上技术构思,由于采用压电式喷头作为粘结剂溶液的喷射机构,与热泡式喷头结构相比,喷射时无需加热溶液,由此可以喷射更多种类的溶液,并可以通过调整溶液中的粘结成分来达到满意的粘结强度;由于将喷头及铺粉机构装载在承载机构上,一方面能够使得功能组件的结构布置更为紧凑,方便与X向运动机构的联接和运动,另一方面还能够弥补压电式喷头的支撑结构刚度不足的缺点,从而保证打印喷射的正常进行;另外,由于承载结构Y向的尺寸较大,若采用单侧驱动,容易出现非驱动侧响应慢于驱动侧的现象,相应影响打印精度,本发明中采用双侧同步带驱动模式,可以很好地解决上述问题。Through the above technical concept of the present invention, since the piezoelectric nozzle is used as the injection mechanism of the binder solution, compared with the structure of the thermal bubble nozzle, there is no need to heat the solution when spraying, so that more types of solutions can be sprayed, and can Satisfactory bonding strength can be achieved by adjusting the bonding components in the solution; since the nozzle and the powder spreading mechanism are loaded on the carrying mechanism, on the one hand, the structural arrangement of the functional components can be made more compact, and the connection with the X-direction movement mechanism is convenient On the other hand, it can make up for the lack of rigidity of the support structure of the piezoelectric nozzle, so as to ensure the normal printing and ejection; in addition, due to the large size of the bearing structure in the Y direction, if it is driven by one side, it is prone to abnormal The response of the drive side is slower than that of the drive side, which affects the printing accuracy accordingly.

下面将描述按照本发明的三维打印成型系统的相应成型方法。The corresponding molding method of the 3D printing molding system according to the present invention will be described below.
首先,当自动化控制装置开始运行时,将制件的三维图像以一定的层厚离散成一系列连续的二维片状图像。储粉腔升降机构带动储粉腔底壁上升一定高度,X向运动机构带动铺粉辊筒由储粉腔向成型腔平动,同时铺粉辊筒转动,将粉末材料从储粉腔添加到成型腔,并将成型腔内的粉末平面压实和平整。X向运动机构将压式电喷头带入成型腔上方的打印区域,计算机调用原喷墨打印机的打印程序,根据每层二维片状图像的信息,控制压电式喷头的Y向运动;同时检测Y向运动情况,保持X向运动与Y向运动协调;同时原喷墨打印机的打印程序根据每层截面的信息,控制喷头选择性地喷射作为粘结剂的溶液。喷射有溶液的区域,粉末材料粘结在一起,没有喷射溶液的粉末在成型中起到支撑作用。一层二维片状图像打印完成后,成型腔底壁在成型腔升降机构带动下下降一个层厚的距离。压电式喷头和铺粉辊筒回到初始位置,准备下一层二维片状图像的打印。然后重复进行以上过程,如此循环,直到所有二维片状图像都打印完成,制件的三维打印成型完成。成型制件在粉腔中经过初期的固化后,除去未粘结粉末便可取出。对制件进行相关后处理,进一步提高强度。First, when the automatic control device starts to operate, the three-dimensional image of the workpiece is discretized into a series of continuous two-dimensional sheet images with a certain layer thickness. The lifting mechanism of the powder storage chamber drives the bottom wall of the powder storage chamber to rise to a certain height, and the X-direction movement mechanism drives the powder spreading roller to move from the powder storage chamber to the forming chamber. At the same time, the powder spreading roller rotates to add powder materials from the powder storage chamber to The molding cavity, and the powder plane in the molding cavity is compacted and leveled. The X-direction movement mechanism brings the piezoelectric nozzle into the printing area above the molding cavity, and the computer invokes the printing program of the original inkjet printer to control the Y-direction movement of the piezoelectric nozzle according to the information of the two-dimensional sheet image of each layer; at the same time Detect the movement in the Y direction, and keep the coordination between the X direction movement and the Y direction movement; at the same time, the printing program of the original inkjet printer controls the nozzle to selectively spray the solution as the binder according to the information of the section of each layer. In the area where the solution is sprayed, the powder materials are bonded together, and the powder that is not sprayed with the solution plays a supporting role in the molding. After a layer of two-dimensional sheet image printing is completed, the bottom wall of the forming cavity is driven down by a distance of one layer thickness driven by the lifting mechanism of the forming cavity. The piezoelectric nozzle and the powder roller return to the initial position, ready to print the next layer of two-dimensional sheet image. Then repeat the above process, and so on, until all the two-dimensional sheet images are printed, and the three-dimensional printing of the workpiece is completed. After the molded part undergoes initial curing in the powder cavity, it can be taken out after removing the unbonded powder. Relevant post-processing is carried out on the workpiece to further improve the strength.
