[0046] A forward and reverse motor 6 is fixedly installed on the left inner wall of the rectangular groove, and a threaded rod 11 is fixedly installed on the output end of the forward and reverse motor 6. The end of the threaded rod 11 away from the forward and reverse motor 6 is rotatably connected to the right inner wall of the rectangular groove through a bearing. A connecting block 12 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the placement plate 5. A threaded hole is opened on the side of the connecting block 12, and the inner wall of the threaded hole is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod 11.

[0047] By setting a fixed block 3, a T-shaped slider 4, a placement plate 5, a forward and reverse motor 6, a threaded rod 11 and a connecting block 12, the 3D printer of the denture model can move the placement plate 5 to the outside of the printer body 1 through the forward and reverse motor 6 when placing the model tool, thereby facilitating the operator to place the model tool.

[0048] A mounting seat 7 is fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the printer body 1 . There are four mounting seats 7 . The four mounting seats 7 are arranged in a rectangular array at the four corners of the printer body 1 .

[0049] A cylindrical groove is provided on the lower surface of the mounting seat 7, and two sliding grooves are provided on the inner wall of the cylindrical groove. The inner walls of the two sliding grooves are slidably connected to a limiting plate 8, and a shock-absorbing spring 13 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the limiting plate 8. The end of the shock-absorbing spring 13 away from the limiting plate 8 is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the cylindrical groove.

[0050] An opening is formed on the upper surface of the limiting plate 8 , and a cylindrical rod 9 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the opening.

[0051] A support seat 14 is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the cylindrical rod 9 , and a plurality of anti-skid protrusions are fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the support seat 14 . The plurality of anti-skid protrusions are arranged in a rectangular array on the lower surface of the support seat 14 .

[0052] By providing the mounting seat 7, the limiting plate 8, the cylindrical rod 9 and the shock-absorbing spring 13, the 3D printer of the denture model can buffer the vibration generated by the printer body 1 through the shock-absorbing spring 13 during long-term use, thereby improving the stability of the printer body 1 during operation.

[0053] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: when 3D printing the denture model, first open the cover 15, start the forward and reverse motor 6, and rotate the threaded rod 11. The rotation of the threaded rod 11 drives the placement plate 5 to slide to the right on the surface of the slide rod 2 through the connecting block 12, so that the placement plate 5 is moved to the outside of the printer body 1, and the model tool is placed on the placement plate 5. The forward and reverse motor 6 is started again to restore the placement plate 5 to its original position and perform 3D laser printing. At the same time, during the long-term use of the 3D printer of the denture model, the vibration generated by the printer body 1 can be buffered by the shock-absorbing spring 13.

[0054] Beneficial effects of the above technical solution: Through the design of the above structure, the present invention provides a specific structure of a 3D printer for a denture model, in which the threaded rod 11 is controlled by a forward and reverse motor 6, and the rotation of the threaded rod 11 drives the placement plate 5 to slide to the right on the surface of the slide rod 2 through the connecting block 12, which facilitates the operator to place the model tool. At the same time, during long-term use, the 3D printer for the denture model can buffer the vibration generated by the printer body 1 through the shock-absorbing spring 13, thereby improving the stability of the printer body 1 during operation.

[0055] See also Figure 1 , Figure 5-Figure 7 In one embodiment, the upper surface of the placement plate 5 is provided with a first slide rail 17, a separation mechanism 18, a first cylinder 19, and a baffle 20;

[0056] The number of the first slide rails 17 is two, the first slide rails 17 are arranged on the upper surface of the placement plate 5, the baffle plate 20 is arranged at the left end of the upper surface of the placement plate 5, the separation mechanism 18 is arranged between the first slide rails 17, the left end of the first cylinder 19 is fixedly connected to the right side of the baffle plate 20, and the right end of the first cylinder 19 is fixedly connected to the left side of the separation mechanism 18;

[0057] The first slide rail 17 includes a main body 17-1, an inclined surface 17-2, and a first track 17-3. The first slide rail main body 17-1 is arranged on the upper surface of the placement plate 5. The number of the inclined surfaces 17-2 is two, and the inclined surfaces 17-2 are arranged at both ends of the first slide rail main body 17-1. The first track 17-3 is arranged on the inner side of the first slide rail main body 17-1. The positions of the two first tracks 17-3 correspond to each other, and the openings are both facing inwards.

[0058] The separation mechanism 18 includes a sliding handle 18-1, a connecting rod 18-2, and a cutting shovel 18-3. The sliding handle 18-1 is slidably connected to the first track 17-3. The sliding handle 18-1 is detachably arranged at both ends of the connecting rod 18-2 by bolts. The right end of the first cylinder 19 is connected to the left side of the connecting rod 18-2. The cutting shovel 18-3 is detachably arranged at the bottom of the connecting rod 18-2 by the bolts. The upper and lower surfaces of the sliding handle 18-1 are respectively provided with grooves 18-4, and the groove 18-4 and the first track 17-3 are filled with round particles.

[0059] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: during the 3D printing process, the printed denture model is placed on the upper surface of the placement plate 5, and the cylinder 19 is extended under the support of the baffle 20, thereby driving the separation mechanism 18 to advance to the right front along the upper surface of the placement plate 5 under the guidance of the first slide rail 17, and to the position of the denture model to separate the bottom of the denture model from the placement plate 5; in the process of separating the denture model, the inclined surface 17-2 is set at both ends of the first slide rail body 17-1, and the connecting rod 18-2 is pushed to the right under the action of the cylinder 19, and at the same time, the sliding handle 18-1 is restricted by the first rail 17-3 and moves along the first rail 17-3. Slide to the left, and at the same time, grooves 18-4 are provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the sliding handle 18-1, and round particles are filled between the groove 18-4 and the first track 17-3. The round particles roll relative to the groove 18-4 and the first track 17-3, and the sliding friction generated by the groove 18-4 and the first track 17-3 is converted into relative rolling. The sliding handle 18-1 is detachably arranged at both ends of the connecting rod 18-2 by bolts, and the cutting shovel 18-3 is detachably arranged at the bottom of the connecting rod 18-2 by bolts. When the cutting shovel 18-3 or the connecting rod 18-2 is worn, they can be disassembled and replaced respectively.

[0060] Beneficial effects of the above technical solution: through the design of the above structure, the present embodiment provides a first slide rail 17, a separation mechanism 18, a cylinder 19, and a baffle 20. The baffle 20 provides support for the cylinder 19, and the first slide rail 17 provides guidance for the separation mechanism 18, thereby driving the separation mechanism 18 to quickly separate the denture model from the placement plate 5 under the drive of the cylinder 19 and the guidance of the first slide rail 17, thereby avoiding the denture model from being too tightly adhered to the surface of the placement plate 5 and being unable to be removed by manpower, and at the same time avoiding damage to the placement plate 5 or the denture model caused by using other sharp objects to separate the denture model; through the design of the above structure, the present invention provides a specific structure of the first slide rail 17 and the separation mechanism 18, through the slide handle 18-1 and the first rail 17-3 The connecting rod 18-2 and the cutting shovel 18-3 are limited and guided by cooperation, ensuring that the cutting shovel 18-3 can act accurately and smoothly between the denture model and the placement plate 5. The groove 18-4 and the first track 17-3 are filled with round particles, and the round particles roll relative to the groove 18-4 and the first track 17-3, converting the sliding friction generated by the sliding handle 18-1 and the first track 17-3 into relative rolling, which greatly reduces the friction and thus reduces the wear of the sliding handle 18-1, increases the service life, and reduces economic losses. The cutting shovel 18-3 and the connecting rod 18-2 are both detachable. When wear occurs, they can be disassembled and replaced in time to achieve recycling and reduce costs. The structure is simple and easy to disassemble and produce.

[0061] See also Figure 1 , Figure 8-Figure 10In one embodiment, a dust removal mechanism 21 and a support mechanism 22 are further provided above the placement plate 5, and the dust removal mechanism 21 is provided at the bottom of the support mechanism 22;

[0062] The support mechanism 22 includes a second slide rail 22-1, a slide plate 22-2, a second cylinder 22-3, and a third cylinder 22-4;

[0063] There are two second slide rails 22-1, which are respectively arranged on the inner side walls of the printer body 1 and correspond to each other. A second rail 22-5 is arranged inside the second slide rail 22-1, and the slide plate 22-2 is slidably connected to the second rail 22-5. The rear end of the second cylinder 22-3 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the printer body 1, and the front end of the second cylinder 22-3 is fixedly connected to the side of the slide plate 22-2. The third cylinder 22-4 is arranged at the bottom of the slide plate 22-2, and the dust removal mechanism 21 is arranged at the bottom of the third cylinder 22-4.

[0064] The dust removal mechanism 21 includes a mechanism body 21-1, a guide path 21-3, a conveying end 21-4, a brush plate 21-5, a leak-proof passage 21-6, a collecting device 21-9, a spare collecting device 21-7, and a suction device 21-8;

[0065] The guide path 21-3 is arranged inside the mechanism body 21-1, and a plurality of dust collecting holes 21-2 are arranged at the bottom of the mechanism body 21-1. The conveying end 21-4 is arranged at the upper end of the mechanism body 21-1. The leak-proof passage 21-6 is arranged at the bottom center of the mechanism body 21-1. The dust collecting holes 21-2, the conveying end 21-4 and the leak-proof passage 21-6 are respectively connected to the guide path 21-3. The brush plate 21-5 is arranged at the bottom of the mechanism body 21-1, and the brush plate 21-5 is connected by a motor control. The standby collecting device 21-7 is arranged at the bottom of the leak-proof passage 21-6. The collecting device 21-9 is arranged on the side of the mechanism body 21-1 and is connected to the conveying end 21-4. The suction device 21-8 is arranged between the collecting device 21-9 and the conveying end 21-4. The top of the mechanism body 21-1 is fixedly connected to the third cylinder 22-4.

[0066] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: before printing or after the denture model is taken out after printing, the 3D printing area needs to be cleaned. During the cleaning process, the second cylinder 22-3 pushes out the slide 22-2, and the slide 22-2 slides parallel to the second track 22-5 on the second slide rail 22-1 to the position required for cleaning; after being in place, the third cylinder 22-4 extends, and at the same time, the third cylinder 22-4 drives the dust removal mechanism 21 to move downward, so that the dust removal mechanism 21 contacts the surface to be cleaned on the upper surface of the placement plate 5 for cleaning. When the cleaning is completed, the third cylinder 22-4 retracts and drives the dust removal mechanism 21 to move upward. After moving to the highest position, the second cylinder 22-3 retracts, thereby driving the slide 22-2 and the dust removal mechanism 21 to reset; during the dust removal process of the dust removal mechanism 21, the motor drives the brush plate 21-5 to rotate around the center as the axis. The brush plate 21-5 performs the first step of cleaning on the surface of the placement plate 5. When the brush plate 21-5 brushes off the fine chips and dust, the suction device 21-8 performs suction, and the fine chips and dust enter the guide path 21-3 in the mechanism body 21-1 from the dust collecting hole 21-2. The guide path 21-3 then transports the fine chips and dust to the collecting device 21-9 through the conveying end 21-4. At this time, the spare collecting device 21-7 protrudes upward under the action of the suction force; when the suction is completed, a small amount of fine chips and dust remaining in the guide path 21-3 falls back to the leak-proof passage 21-6 due to the loss of the suction force. At this time, the spare collecting device 21-7 falls back downward under the action of gravity to form a space, and then the leak-proof passage 21-6 transports the fine chips and dust to the spare collecting device 21-7 to prevent the fallen fine chips and dust from secondary contamination of the processing area.

[0067] Beneficial effects of the above technical solution: Through the design of the above structure, this embodiment provides a specific structure of the dust removal mechanism 21 and the supporting mechanism 22. The second cylinder 22-3 acts on the side wall of the slide plate 22-2 to drive the dust removal mechanism 21 to move to the clean area or reset. The third cylinder 22-4 acts on the dust removal mechanism 21 to control the upward and downward movement of the dust removal mechanism 21, so as to achieve the contact and separation of the dust removal mechanism 21 with the clean area on the upper surface of the placement plate 5. The dust removal mechanism 21 can clean fine dust through the brush plate 21-5, and at the same time With the assistance of the suction device 21-8, the cleaning effect is guaranteed to a great extent. At the same time, under the action of the backup collection device 21-7 and the leak-proof passage 21-6, it is further prevented that after the suction is completed, a small amount of fine chips and dust remaining in the guide path 21-3 will fall downward due to the loss of suction force, causing secondary pollution of the processing area by fine chips and dust, thereby avoiding the contamination of the denture model by dust and fine chips during the 3D printing process, and further preventing fine chips from adhering to the model surface during the printing process, which is difficult to remove after the model is formed and affects the surface quality of the model.
