3D printer, special horizontal movement mechanism and horizontal movement method of 3D printer

Abstract

The invention discloses a 3D printer and a horizontal movement method of the 3D printer. The 3D printer comprises a rack, a horizontal movement mechanism installed on the rack, and a printer head installed on the horizontal movement mechanism. The 3D printer is characterized in that the horizontal movement mechanism comprises a Y-axis first sliding rod, a Y-axis second sliding rod, Y-axis sliding bases, an X-axis sliding rod arranged between the two Y-axis sliding bases, an X-axis sliding base arranged on the X-axis sliding rod and a synchronous belt transmission mechanism, wherein the Y-axis first sliding rod and the Y-axis second sliding rod are arranged in parallel, and each Y-axis sliding rod is provided with the corresponding Y-axis sliding base; the printer head is arranged on the X-axis sliding base; the synchronous belt transmission mechanism comprises four guiding wheels, driving wheels, driven wheels, a motor and a horizontal synchronous belt; one end portion of the horizontal synchronous belt is fixedly connected to one side of the X-axis sliding base; and the other end of the horizontal synchronous belt is sequentially connected to the second guiding wheel, the Y-axis second driving wheel, the Y-axis second driven wheel, the fourth guiding wheel, the third guiding wheel, the Y-axis first driven wheel, the Y-axis first driving wheel and the first guiding wheel in a wound manner and then is fixedly connected to the other side of the X-axis sliding base.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of 3D printing, in particular to a 3D printer, a special horizontal movement mechanism and a method for horizontally moving the 3D printer. Background technique [0002] As a symbolic technology of the third industrial revolution, 3D printing technology will lead the future development of global manufacturing industry. Most of the 3D printers currently on the market ensure that the Y, Y, and Z-axis drive systems can work normally by setting multiple slide rails on the rack. The 3D printers with this structure have many accessories and complex assembly, and the cooperation between components is difficult to achieve the design. Requirements, not only lead to high failure rate, take up a lot of space, but also the printing speed and printing accuracy are not ideal, and the maintenance cost is also high. [0003] Existing 3D printers mostly use a lead screw to drive the printing platform up and down to move in ...
