Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a printing head cleaning device for a 3D printer. Background technique

[0002] The 3DP (three-dimensional printing) print head is composed of several small nozzle units, and the small holes distributed on the nozzle units are only tens of microns in diameter, which is extremely small. At the same time, the dust in the printing process will also block the print head. Therefore, it is very important to clean the print head. If you use ordinary cleaning methods such as soaking in cleaning agent or wiping with a clean cloth, not only will the purpose of cleaning not be achieved And it will aggravate the blockage. Contents of the invention

[0003] In view of the problems existing in the related art, the object of the present invention is to provide a print head cleaning device for a 3D printer, so as to at least realize that the sundries on the print head can be cleaned regularly and effectively during the printing process of t...

Examples

Embodiment Construction

[0026] Now refer to Figure 1 to Figure 7 The present invention is described.

[0027] combine Figure 1 to Figure 6 , shows a print head cleaning device for a 3D printer of the present invention, the print head cleaning device includes a cleaning pool 1 and a rotating shaft 5 , wherein the rotating shaft 5 is rotatably supported in the cleaning pool 1 . Further, the rotating shaft 5 has wiper plates 7 arranged on the outside of the rotating shaft 5 uniformly and equidistantly around the rotating axis of the rotating shaft 5, such as Figure 4 best shown in . Wherein, it should be understood that, in the actual use of the present invention, the cleaning tank 1 is used to store cleaning agents, and the choice of cleaning agents can be determined according to specific usage conditions, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0028] Further, in a preferred embodiment, the two ends of the rotating shaft 5 are supported between the opposite side walls of the cleaning...
