Nozzle of reinforcing material co-printing type 3D printer for construction
The present disclosure relates to a 3D printer for construction for print-molding various structures, in which a main pipe 30 for transferring a filament material 31 therein is installed inside a nozzle 10 for discharging a printing material, such as concrete or mortar, to enable co-printing of the filament material 31 with the printing material while embedded in the printing material. According to the present disclosure, in constructing a structure by a 3D printer for construction, a printing material embedded with the filament material 31 as reinforcing material may be printed, and as a result, the effects of reinforcing tensile strength of the printed object and inhibiting crack of the printed object may be obtained.
1. A nozzle of a reinforcement material co-printing type 3D printer for construction, wherein in a nozzle ( 10 ) of 3D printer for construction, a main pipe ( 30 ) parallel to the nozzle ( 10 ) is embedded in the nozzle ( 10 ), the main pipe ( 30 ) being a hollow pipe body having a transfer hole ( 33 ) formed in an axial direction therein;
an exposed pipe ( 36 ) as a pipe body having the transfer hole ( 33 ) formed in an axial direction therein and exposed outside the nozzle ( 10 ) is formed;
the other end of the main pipe ( 30 ) at a distal end of the nozzle ( 10 ) is connected to the exposed pipe ( 36 ) via a curved pipe ( 34 ), such that as a filament material ( 31 ) introduced into the transfer hole ( 33 ) of the exposed pipe ( 36 ) is discharged from an end of the main pipe ( 30 ) at the distal end of the nozzle ( 10 ) via the main pipe ( 30 ), the filament material ( 31 ) may be co-printed with a printing material while embedded in the printing material;
a rotable body ( 40 ) is mounted on the main pipe ( 30 ) and configured to be freely rotatable about the main pipe ( 30 ) without an additional power;
on an outer circumferential surface of the rotable body ( 40 ), a plurality of agitating blades ( 45 ) inclined relative to the main pipe ( 30 ) are radially formed around the main pipe ( 30 ), such that discharging of a fluid printing material via the nozzle ( 10 ) brings the agitating blades ( 45 ) and the rotable body ( 40 ) into rotation around the main pipe ( 30 ); and
on an inner circumferential surface of the nozzle ( 10 ) between the agitating blades ( 45 ) and a distal end of the nozzle ( 10 ), 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 ),
wherein the fixed blades ( 47 ) are configured to realign the fluid printing material primarily agitated by the agitating blades ( 45 ) while passing therethrough without material segregation.
2. The nozzle of a reinforcement material co-printing type 3D printer for construction of claim 1 , wherein a rota ble pipe ( 60 ) as a pipe body co-axial with the nozzle ( 10 ) is installed at a distal end of the nozzle ( 10 ) so as to be rotatable around the central axis of the nozzle ( 10 ),
wherein on an inner circumferential surface of the rotable pipe ( 60 ), 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 ), such that as a fluid printing material is discharged from the nozzle ( 10 ), the agitating blades ( 45 ) and the rotable pipe ( 60 ) rotate around the central axis of the nozzle ( 10 ).
3. The nozzle of a reinforcement material co-printing type 3D printer for construction of claim 2 , wherein a fixed pipe ( 70 ) as a pipe body co-axial with the rotable pipe ( 60 ) is installed at a distal end of the rotable pipe ( 60 ),
wherein on an inner circumferential surface of the fixed pipe ( 70 ), a plurality of fixed blades ( 47 ) parallel to the central axis of the nozzle ( 10 ) are radially formed around the central axis of the nozzle ( 10 ); and
the fixed pipe ( 70 ) and the nozzle ( 10 ) are connected by a restricting member ( 71 ),
wherein the restricting member ( 71 ) is a plate body that connects and thereby fixes the nozzle ( 10 ) to the fixed pipe ( 70 ).
