Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of 3D printing and relates to a light-curing 3D printer and a leveling method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The light-curing 3D printer uses ultraviolet light or other light sources in a specific wavelength range to irradiate liquid photosensitive resin and trigger a photochemical reaction, so that the photosensitive resin in the area irradiated by the light source is solidified from the liquid state, and the object to be formed can be obtained after curing layer by layer. The structure of a light-curing 3D printer generally includes a molding platform, a resin pool, an imaging glass, a light source, etc. The light source passes through the imaging glass to form a transmission area to be cured at the bottom of the resin pool, and the liquid resin located between the molding surface of the molding platform or the bottom of the cured layer and the bottom of the resin pool is cured in the transmission area.

[0003] At the beginning of printing, the molding platform is lowered to the bottom of the resin pool. The bottom of the resin pool is a transparent bottom film. The bottom of the molding platform is almost in contact with the bottom film, leaving a distance for setting the layer thickness (usually 0.025mm-0.1mm). Then the light source transmits a part of the light, which is projected onto the resin between the bottom of the molding platform and the resin pool film. After being excited by light, the photosensitive resin undergoes a polymerization reaction and transforms from liquid to solid. When the molding platform is lifted upward, the solidified resin will separate from the resin pool film, thus forming the first layer of the printed body. While the molding platform rises, the surrounding resin will diffuse to the first layer exposure area, and the resin will fill the area again to prepare for the next layer of printing. Next, the molding platform is lowered to a position one layer thickness higher than before, and the light source projects the light required for the second layer of printing. The resin between the first layer of the printed body and the resin pool film solidifies to form the second layer of the printed body. This process is repeated many times until the printing process is completed.

[0004] Traditional light-curing 3D printers have the following disadvantages:

[0005] 1. In the traditional mode, after each layer is printed, the build platform will rise by more than 3mm, and then descend to a position one layer thickness higher than the previous layer. During the descent, it is impossible to detect whether there are any residual solid foreign matter in the resin pool, or the descent value is deviated, which causes the build platform to descend during printing, pressing tightly on the foreign matter and the resin pool, causing excessive pressure on the resin pool, thereby damaging the print body and the resin pool.

[0006] 2. The molding platform of the traditional light-curing 3D printer is fixed on the lifting drive mechanism, which is used to drive the molding platform to rise and fall. The traditional molding platform is connected to the slider on the lifting drive mechanism through a connector, generally connected by fasteners and handles. This connection method is not only time-consuming to disassemble and assemble, but also very inconvenient to repair or disassemble and clean the molding platform. In addition, the molding platform is prone to loosening during long-term lifting and lowering, causing the platform to tilt;

[0007] 3. The levelness of the molding platform plays a vital role in the accuracy of printed parts. The installation error of the molding platform or the looseness that is easy to occur during the long-term lifting movement will cause the platform to tilt. When the working platform is tilted, it will cause the movement error of the 3D printer scanning mechanism, and then cause problems such as the shape error, position error, layer slippage, and increased roughness of the printed model. Summary of the invention

[0025] The second object of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0026] A method for leveling a light-curing 3D printer, using the light-curing 3D printer for leveling, is characterized in that it comprises the following steps:

[0027] 1. Remove the resin pool from the pad;

[0028] 2. Loosen the fasteners on the adjustment slot of the forming platform;

[0029] 3. Fix the leveling base plate to the pad with fasteners;

[0030] 4. The lifting drive mechanism drives the molding platform down, so that the molding platform and the leveling bottom plate fit naturally;

[0032] 6. Tighten the fasteners on the adjustment slot of the forming platform;

[0033] 7. Remove the two pressure blocks, drive the forming platform to lift, and remove the leveling base plate.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0035] 1. The molding platform is slidably mounted on the fixed block through the mounting frame. Due to the existence of the magnetic isolation plate, when the magnet is in a vertical state, the magnetic plate and the magnetic block cannot be magnetized. During installation, the mounting frame is horizontally pushed into the fixed block to form positioning in the front and back and left and right directions; the magnet is rotated to a horizontal state so that the magnetic plate and the magnetic block can be magnetized by the magnet, and the magnetic plate and the magnetic block are adsorbed and fixed, thereby fixing the mounting frame on the fixed block; the overall disassembly and assembly of the molding platform is more convenient, quick, time-saving and labor-saving;

[0036] 2. A pressure sensor is installed between the resin pool and the platen so that the gravity of the resin pool is applied to the detection end of the pressure sensor. During the printing process, the pressure sensor is used to detect whether there is overpressure in real time. Once there is overpressure, the machine will be stopped immediately to avoid damaging the print body and the resin pool;

[0037] 3. The traditional leveling method is to place the molding platform on a horizontal plane and then lock the molding platform. However, when one of the fasteners is locked, the lower bottom surface of the molding platform will warp. Therefore, the present invention first connects the leveling base plate with the pad, and then uses a pressing block to press the lower bottom surface of the molding platform onto the leveling base plate, and then connects the molding platform with the mounting frame to ensure the levelness of the lower bottom surface of the molding platform.
