一体打印拖链

一条用于 3D 打印机或 CNC 轴的拖链(坦克链),从打印板上取下就已经连好:九个相同的橙色链节由锥形销连接,加上炭灰色的固定端支架和移动端支架,各用两颗 M3 螺丝安装。按下 Travel,移动端往返运行 150 mm,链条像在真实的轴上一样滚过 U 形弯。每个关节上的限位齿让链节只能弯到你设定的半径,而且只能朝一个方向弯,所以上段几乎保持笔直,不会下垂。校验证明静止时链节互不接触,销不会拔出,限位在两个方向都能挡住,在平缓弯曲下,无论伸直还是在 U 形弯里,线缆都能在链内自由放置,而且全部 457 个运动姿态都不干涉。

  • Links never touch at rest0.4 mm joint gap at every pin, plate and stop face
  • Pins are captureda link shifted 0.92 mm sideways or 0.70 mm along the pin hits its neighbour (2.65 / 83.20 mm³): the cone pins sit in the sockets between the cheeks and cannot pull out
  • Bends freely to the bend angle30.2 degrees per joint gives a 50 mm bend radius at a 26.0 mm pitch (6.0 links per half turn)
  • Stop at the bend angle4 degrees past the bend the tooth is into its pocket wall (3.22 mm³)
  • Stays straight the other wayreverse bend stops within 2.25 degrees per joint (tooth on the straight stop)
  • Upper run is self-supportinga 100 mm stick-out puts 0.98 N on each stop tooth (0.06 MPa shear; PLA allows 5.0); stop play lets the longest upper run (6 links) sag about 4.6 mm
  • Pins take a hard tug30 N pull on the chain: 0.48 MPa shear in the two 6.3 mm cone pins (5.0 allowed across layers)
  • Cables lie free in the chainoverlap 0.00 mm³ straight and 0.00 mm³ in the U at mid travel
  • Cables bend gentlythe bundle bends at 52.6 mm in the U, at least 7.5 x the 5 mm lead (37.5 mm, chain-rated cable)
  • Cables stay inroof slot 4.25 mm vs 5 mm leads: each lead presses in past the 50-degree lips and cannot fall out
  • Travelmoving end runs 150 mm (of 150 wanted, 158 mm possible) with the U 119 mm tall
  • Every body starts on the bedprinted standing up: every link and bracket rests on its -Y edge
  • Bracket ears hold the chaina 30 N tug puts 7.4 N on the far M3 screws; 1.32 MPa in a 4 mm ear (16.7 allowed)
  • Screws seat on the earsM3 heads (5.7 mm) land flat on 4 mm ears, clear of the gussets; 3.1 mm of ear outside each hole
  • drag chain stays together after printingall 11 bodies are captive: none can be pulled out along any axis
  • drag chain is held firmlyevery captive body is held by at least 0.8 mm (two perimeters)
  • lead 1 (5 mm) goes in166 poses along its path clear of every part.
  • lead 2 (5 mm) goes in166 poses along its path clear of every part.
  • lead 3 (5 mm) goes in166 poses along its path clear of every part.

制作方法

  1. 按要走的线设置线束宽度和高度(高度就是线径),再设置你的轴有空间容纳的弯曲半径。
  2. 选链节数:Travel 校验会告诉你这么多链节时移动端能走多远。
  3. 整条链沿打印板对角线立着一次打印,然后把每个关节在全弯曲范围内弯几次让它活动开。
  4. 把线穿进去,用 M3 螺丝把固定端支架装到机架上、移动端支架装到滑车上,再让链条翻转成 U 形。

打印建议

  • 用 PLA 或 PETG、3 层壁、无支撑打印;链条是侧立的,加个 brim 能让又高又窄的链节站稳。
  • 如果第一次打印发紧,把关节间隙加大 0.05 mm;有松旷声就减小。先打一两个链节测试你的打印机。

常见问题

悬伸出去时会下垂吗?

只会一点:每个关节在限位齿挡住之前能反向弯约 2 度,所以两端固定的 150 mm 上段大约下沉 5 mm。更长的无支撑段需要加托槽。

线怎么放进去?

装插头之前从一端穿进去,或者把每根线从顶部的开口槽挤进去。开槽比线窄,放进去就不会掉出来。

弯曲半径该怎么选?

按线缆的额定弯曲半径来;拖链专用线通常要求线径的 7.5 倍或以上,低于这个值时线缆弯曲校验会提示你。
