3D Printer Feeding Module - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240042693 titled '3D Printer Feeding Module

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a 3D printer feeding module that consists of a base and an upper cover. The upper cover has a convex portion in the middle with a feeding channel for wires. A movable frame and two rotating shafts are placed between the base and upper cover, on either side of the feeding channel. The first rotating shafts are arranged one behind the other in the feeding direction. On these shafts, there are an input gear, a first drive gear, and a first feeding roller that rotate synchronously from bottom to top. The movable frame is connected to the base through a compression spring. Second rotating shafts are placed on both ends of the movable frame, with a second drive gear and a second feeding roller that rotate synchronously from bottom to top. A motor is located in the lower portion of the base, with a drive wheel at the shaft end of the motor that meshes with two input gears. The feeding module delivers wires through two groups of first feeding rollers and second feeding rollers, providing a large and stable delivering force suitable for different wire sizes.

  • The 3D printer feeding module consists of a base and an upper cover with a convex portion in the middle for wire feeding.
  • It includes a movable frame and two rotating shafts on either side of the feeding channel.
  • The first rotating shafts have an input gear, a first drive gear, and a first feeding roller that rotate synchronously.
  • The movable frame is connected to the base through a compression spring.
  • Second rotating shafts on the movable frame have a second drive gear and a second feeding roller that rotate synchronously.
  • A motor in the base drives the feeding module through a drive wheel and two input gears.
  • The feeding module delivers wires using two groups of first and second feeding rollers, providing a stable force for different wire sizes.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be used in 3D printers to efficiently feed wires during the printing process.
  • It can also be applied in other wire feeding systems, such as in industrial automation or robotics.

Problems Solved

  • The feeding module solves the problem of delivering wires in a 3D printer or other systems with a large and stable force.
  • It addresses the challenge of feeding different sizes of wires accurately and reliably.

Benefits

  • The feeding module provides a reliable and stable force for delivering wires, ensuring smooth and consistent printing or wire feeding.
  • It allows for the feeding of different sizes of wires, making it versatile and adaptable to various applications.
  • The module's design and arrangement of gears and rollers ensure synchronized rotation and efficient wire delivery.


Original Abstract Submitted

a 3d printer feeding module comprises a base and an upper cover. an inward integrally-formed convex portion is arranged in the middle portion of upper cover and provided with a feeding channel for penetration of wires. a movable frame and two first rotating shafts are arranged between the base and upper cover and on both sides of the feeding channel. the first rotating shafts are arranged one behind the other in the feeding direction of feeding channel. an input gear, a first drive gear and a first feeding roller which rotate synchronously are arranged on first rotating shafts from bottom to top. the movable frame is connected with the base through a compression spring. second rotating shafts are arranged on both ends of the movable frame. a second drive gear and a second feeding roller which rotate synchronously are arranged on each second rotating shaft from bottom to top. a motor is arranged in the lower portion of base. a drive wheel is arranged at the shaft end of motor and meshed with two input gears; the feeding module delivers wires through two groups of first feeding rollers and second feeding rollers, with large and stable delivering force and suitable for delivering different sizes of wires.
