The third screw rod is driven by the third driving motor to rotate, the third sleeve matched with the third screw rod axially moves on the third screw rod, and at the moment, the third sleeve can drive the fixingplate 23 and thematerial extrusion unit 2 on the fixing plate to axially move along the third screw rod, so that thematerial extrusion unit 2 can move in the Y-axis direction.
The purpose of printing three primary colors in the design can be realized through the method.
The above-mentioned solution is only the basic design structure of the three-dimensional printer of this three primary colors, in a specific implementation, apressure sensor 913 may be added on a side wall of one of the clampingplates 912, thepressure sensor 913 is installed on one of the clamping plates in an embedded manner, and a hardconvex plate 914 protruding and corresponding to a force-bearing surface of thepressure sensor 913 is installed on the other clamping plate, when the two clamping plates clamp the printing wire, the printing wire is clamped by thepressure sensor 913 and the convex plate, thepressure sensor 913 monitors a pressure value and transmits the pressure value to the controller, the controller determines that the printing wire feeding mechanism has the printing wire by comparing the pressure value with a threshold value, when the printing wire is out of the printing wire, thepressure sensor 913 has a gap with the convex plate, and thepressure sensor 913 has no pressure value data or small data and is smaller than the set threshold value, the controller can determine whether the printing wire feeder is out of wire by comparing the data fed back by thepressure sensor 913 with a threshold.
Furthermore, a dynamic speed meter or aspeed sensor 10 can be arranged at the side part of each printing wire to monitor the wire feeding speed of the printing wire and feed the speed back to the controller. The controller controls the wire feeding speed of each printing wire feeding mechanism, so that the proportion of three primary colors is controlled, the color of a printing material is changed, the wire feeding speed of a carbon fiber material can be controlled, and the hardness of a printed finished product is changed.
In the specific implementation, the controller and the color simulator connected with the controller can read the color data in the model, calculate the data (in the prior art), issue commands to the next-stage component, know the wire feeding rates of the three printing wire feeding mechanisms, and control any one or more printing wire feeding mechanisms to stop feeding wires.
In summary, the basic principle of the present invention is a three primary color theory, in which three primary colors refer to three basic colors, i.e., magenta, yellow, and cyan, which cannot be decomposed any more, and the three primary colors can be mixed into all colors and added into black (black, white, and gray belong to a colorless system), and the purpose of mixing all colors to realize printing of any color can be realized by the mixing ratio of the three colors, i.e., the three primary color printing wires are melted and mixed, and the mixture ratio of the three different color printing wires in a miscible substance is changed to obtain printing materials of different colors.
In the specific implementation, the method for controlling the proportion of the printing wires with three different colors in the miscible substances is as follows: the wire feeding speed of the printing wire is changed by the wire feeding speed of the three printing wire feeding mechanisms, and the wire feeding speed of the printing wire with three different colors is different at the same moment, so that the wire feeding speed of the printing wire with three different colors is different in unit time, and the ratio occupied by the printing wire with three colors in the mixed material is different finally.
In the concrete implementation, a color simulator in the control system reads color data in the model, analyzes and calculates the data to obtain a data result of the target material color, and transmits corresponding commands to execution components in the three printing wire feeding mechanisms to realize the control of the wire feeding speed of the printing wires in each color.
The embodiments of the present invention are disclosed as the preferred embodiments, but not limited thereto, and those skilled in the art can easily understand the spirit of the present invention and make various extensions and changes without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
