Nozzle of auto-agitating type 3D printer for construction
The present disclosure relates to a 3D printer for construction for printing and forming various structures, in which agitating blades 45 capable of auto-rotation are mounted inside a nozzle 10 discharging a printing material such as concrete or mortar, to thereby enable agitation of a fluid printing material inside the nozzle 10. According to the present disclosure, agitation of the fluid printing material inside the nozzle 10 of the 3D printer for construction may be facilitated to prevent material segregation and maintain a homogeneously mixed state of materials constituting the fluid printing material.
1. A nozzle of an auto-agitating 3D printer for construction,
wherein in the nozzle ( 10 ) of a 3D printer for construction, a rotatable pipe ( 60 ) as a pipe body co-axial with the nozzle ( 10 ) may be installed at a distal end of the nozzle ( 10 ) in a freely-rotatable manner about a central axis of the nozzle ( 10 ); and
a plurality of agitating blades ( 45 ) inclined relative to the central axis of the nozzle ( 10 ) are radially formed around the central axis of the nozzle ( 10 ) on an inner circumferential surface of the rotatable pipe ( 60 ), such that while shaft-related components encroaching a central portion of a transverse-cross section of the nozzle ( 10 ) are completely excluded, discharging of a fluid printing material via the nozzle ( 10 ) brings the agitating blades ( 45 ) and the rotatable pipe ( 60 ) into rotation around the central axis of the nozzle ( 10 ).
2. The nozzle of an auto-agitating 3D printer for construction of claim 1 ,
wherein a fixed pipe ( 70 ) as a pipe body co-axial with the rotatable pipe ( 60 ) is installed at a distal end of the rotatable pipe ( 60 );
a plurality of fixed blades ( 47 ) parallel to a central axis of the nozzle ( 10 ) are radially formed around the central axis of the nozzle ( 10 ) on an inner circumferential surface of the fixed pipe ( 70 ); and
the fixed pipe ( 70 ) and the nozzle ( 10 ) are connected by a restricting member ( 71 ).
