[0002] With the advancement of medical technology, polylactic acid is a green polymer material with good biocompatibility with humans and most animals and is biodegradable. It also has an elastic modulus close to that of human and most animal bones.

[0016] S2: Then the locking mechanism is driven to enable the push mechanism to pull and work, so that the printed blank on the discharge mechanism can be quickly pushed out and unloaded, so as to prepare for subsequent printing and processing. The limit mechanism is used to protect the push mechanism from sliding when it is pulled, so as to prevent the push mechanism from slipping;

[0017] S3: When unloading, the clamping mechanism is driven to work by the pushing mechanism, so that the clamping mechanism is clamped against the unloading mechanism, so that the blank is lifted and pulled out when unloading;

[0018] S4: The protection mechanism is activated by driving the push mechanism, so that the protection mechanism engages and locks the reset printing mechanism to prevent the printing mechanism from moving due to misoperation and causing an accident.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0020] (1) The 3D printing equipment and method of absorbable bone implants described in the present invention facilitate the realization of 3D printing function through the coordinated installation of the printing mechanism, and facilitate the placement of printed blanks and good material unloading through the action of the material unloading mechanism, that is: the machine base facilitates the installation of the frame, and the frame facilitates the connection of the printing assembly, the table panel facilitates the stacking of blanks during printing, the table top can slide under the action of the transmission assembly and the guide rail, and the 3D printing work is realized under the action of the printing assembly, and the storage groove facilitates the placement of multiple stacked pads, the two side edges of the top pad abut against the inner side of the machine base, the pad is conducive to the stacking of blanks during 3D printing, and the unloading work is facilitated by pulling out the top pad, and the next pad is abutted and lifted under the action of the bottom plate and the telescopic spring, thereby realizing rapid replacement of the pad, facilitating subsequent printing work, and more convenient operation.

[0021] (2) The 3D printing equipment and method of absorbable bone implants described in the present invention facilitates the pulling operation of the push mechanism through the driving of the locking mechanism, which is conducive to the rapid pushing out of the printed blank and replacing the placement parts. The limiting mechanism is conducive to the sliding protection of the push mechanism, that is, the engagement of the latch pin with the inside of the lock groove is conducive to limiting the horizontal plate so that the horizontal plate will not be pulled out. By pushing the push buckle, the push buckle drives the latch pin to slide out of the lock groove, which facilitates the horizontal plate to slide and pull out on the table panel to achieve the unloading operation. The protrusion is caused to contact with the inside of the groove under the action of the pressing spring, which plays a role in assisting the locking of the latch pin. By pushing the latch pin, since one end of the protrusion is a hemispherical structure, the groove contacts the protrusion to get rid of the action of the pressing spring and shrinks, thereby facilitating the sliding of the latch pin. After the latch pin slides out of the lock groove, the protrusion contacts with the inside of another groove, which is conducive to the latch pin not being easy to loosen after driving, and can achieve better locking effect. The installation of the slide rod and the connecting plate is conducive to pulling by the handle. The horizontal plate enables the push plate to slide on the top of the storage slot, and the multiple push blocks resist the pad plate, so that when the push plate is pulled out, the top pad is pushed out to unload the material. After taking out the top pad and the blank, the push plate is pushed back to slide, and the push block is resisted and shrinks under the action of the compression spring, and the push block slides on the pad. When the push plate slides to the initial position, the push block slides out of one end of the pad, and the top plate rises under the resistance of the bottom plate to facilitate printing and stacking, so that the push block is on one side of the pad, which is convenient for subsequent pushing of materials. Under the action of the extrusion spring, the guide wheel on the limit block contacts the sliding rod, which is beneficial to prevent the sliding rod from causing wear when sliding. After the sliding rod slides to a certain position, the limit groove is located at the top of the limit block. Under the action of the extrusion spring, the limit block slides into the limit groove and engages, which is beneficial to limit the sliding rod and prevent it from being pulled out, thereby preventing the sliding rod from slipping. By pushing the sliding rod, since the limit block and the limit groove are both trapezoidal structures, the side wall of the limit groove contacts and contracts with the limit block, thereby facilitating the sliding rod to slide back and reset.

[0022] (3) The 3D printing equipment and method of absorbable bone implants described in the present invention, through the driving of the pushing mechanism to make the locking mechanism work, is conducive to the resistance and locking of the discharge mechanism, so that the blank is lifted up when the material is unloaded, which is convenient for unloading and taking. That is: through the action of the resistance spring, multiple top blocks are made to resist the inner side of the table panel, and the top block resistance driving rod pulls the card plate under the action of the movable groove, so that the card plate is stored inside the sliding rod. When the sliding rod is pulled out, the top block slides out under the action of the resistance spring, and the top block pulls the driving rod to swing. Under the action of the movable groove and the fixed shaft, the driving rod is used to resist and push out the card plate by the lever principle, and the card plate slides out of the outer side of the sliding rod and resists the bottom side of the pad plate, which is conducive to supporting and lifting the pad plate through multiple card plates, so that the pad plate will not collapse when unloading, which is convenient for unloading work. The sliding rod slides into the interior of the table panel, the top block is resisted and contracted, and the card plate is contracted and reset, which is convenient for the subsequent pad plate to rise and receive the material.

[0023] (4) The 3D printing equipment and method for absorbable bone implants described in the present invention enable the protective mechanism to work under the action of the pushing mechanism, which is conducive to the protective mechanism locking and locking the printing mechanism after reset, thereby preventing the printing mechanism from moving due to misoperation and causing an accident, namely: after the table panel slides out of one end of the frame, it is convenient to pull the cross plate to unload the material, and the locking pin is located at the top of the card slot. After the cross plate slides out of the table panel, the transmission rod and the drive wheel rise and slide under the action of the control spring without external force resistance. The transmission rod drives the drive block to resist one of the pressure wheels, so that the extrusion rod and the other pressure wheel resist the top of the locking pin. The locking pin is freed from the action of the active spring and slides down, which is conducive to the locking pin being inserted into the card slot, thereby limiting the table panel and preventing the table panel from sliding due to unintentional operation and causing an accident. After unloading is completed, the cross plate is pushed to reset, and the cross plate squeezes the transmission rod to reset, which is conducive to the locking pin being reset and sliding out of the card slot under the action of the active spring, facilitating the subsequent normal operation of the table top to release the limit.

[0041] Specifically, the material discharging mechanism 3 includes a storage groove 302, the table panel 203 is provided with a storage groove 302, the storage groove 302 is a "convex" shaped structure, the storage groove 302 is provided with a bottom plate 303, the bottom plate 303 is slidably connected to the inside of the storage groove 302 through a plurality of telescopic springs 304, a plurality of pads 301 are stacked on the bottom plate 303, the pads 301 are slidably connected to the inside of the storage groove 302, and the storage groove 302 is used to facilitate the storage of a plurality of The stacked pads 301 are placed with both side edges of the top pad in contact with the inner side of the base 1. The pads 301 are used to facilitate stacking of blanks during 3D printing. Pulling out the top pad 301 facilitates unloading. The bottom plate 303 and the telescopic spring 304 make the next pad 301 rise up due to contact, thereby realizing rapid replacement of the pad 301, facilitating subsequent printing work and making operation more convenient.

[0042] Specifically, the pusher mechanism 4 includes a slide bar 403. The top sides of the two ends of the table top plate 203 are internally and slidably connected to the slide bar 403. A push plate 405 is slidably connected to the top of the table top plate 203. Both ends of the push plate 405 are connected to the side walls of one ends of the two slide bars 403 through connecting plates 404. The connecting plates 404 are slidably connected to the inner side of the table top plate 203. The other ends of the two slide bars 403 extend to the outside of the table top plate 203. A cross plate 401 is slidably connected to the table top plate 203. The other ends of the two slide bars 403 are respectively vertically connected to one sides of both ends of the cross plate 401. A plurality of push blocks 407 are installed at the bottom of the push plate 405. The tops of the push blocks 407 are slidably connected to the inside of the push plate 405 through compression springs 406. The push blocks 407 are trapezoidal structures. One side of a push block 407 abuts against one side of one of the cushion plates 301. A handle 402 is installed at the center of the cross plate 401. The handle 402 is in a "U" shape. Through the installation of the slide bar 403 and the connecting plate 404, it is beneficial to pull the cross plate 401 through the handle 402 so that the push plate 405 can slide on the top of the storage groove 302. Through the abutment of the plurality of push blocks 407 against the cushion plate 301, when the push plate 405 is pulled out, the topmost cushion plate 301 is pushed out for blanking. After taking out the top cushion plate 301 and the blank, by pushing the cross plate 401, the push plate 405 slides back to its original position, and the push block 407 is abutted and contracts under the action of getting rid of the compression spring 406. The push block 407 slides on the cushion plate 301. When the push plate 405 slides back to its initial position, the push block 407 slides out of one end of the cushion plate 301.

The top blocks 501 abut against the driving rod 505 to pull the card plate 506 under the action of the movable groove 504, so that the card plate 506 is stored in the slide bar 403. When the slide bar 403 is pulled out, the top blocks 501 slide out under the action of the abutting spring 502. The top blocks 501 pull the driving rod 505 to swing. Under the action of the movable groove 504 and the fixed shaft 503, the lever principle is used to make the card plate 506 The driving rod 505 pushes out the card plate 506, and the card plate 506 slides out of the outer side of the sliding rod 403 and contacts the bottom side of the pad 301, which is beneficial for supporting and lifting the pad 301 through multiple card plates 506, so that the pad 301 will not collapse during material unloading, which facilitates better material unloading.

The top of the locking pin 805 is a semicircular structure, a slot 809 is provided on the top side of one end of the guide rail 204, the bottom of the locking pin 805 is located on the top side of the slot 809, the two transmission rods 801 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the bottom with a driving block 803, the driving block 803 is a triangular structure, the table panel 203 is horizontally slidably connected to two extrusion rods 804, and the two ends of the extrusion rods 804 are rotatably connected with pressure wheels 802, one of the pressure wheels 802 is in contact with one side of the top of the locking pin 805, and the other pressure wheel 802 is in contact with the driving block 8 03 side, after the table panel 203 slides out of one end of the frame 201, it is convenient to pull the cross plate 401 for unloading, and the locking pin 805 is located at the top of the card slot 809. After the cross plate 401 slides out of the table panel 203, the transmission rod 801 and the driving wheel 808 rise and slide under the action of the control spring 807 without external force, and the transmission rod 801 drives the driving block 803 to contact one of the pressing wheels 802, so that the extrusion rod 804 and the other pressing wheel 802 contact the locking pin 80 5, the locking pin 805 is freed from the action of the movable spring 806 and slides down, which is conducive to the locking pin 805 being inserted into the inside of the card slot 809, thereby limiting the table panel 203 and preventing the table panel 203 from sliding due to unintentional operation and causing an accident.

[0048] An operating method of a 3D printing device for an absorbable bone implant comprises the following steps:

[0049] S1: First, the printing mechanism 2 and the base 1 are installed together to perform 3D printing, and the printed blanks are stacked and unloaded on the unloading mechanism 3;

[0050] S2: Then the locking mechanism 7 is driven to enable the pushing mechanism 4 to pull and work, so that the blank printed on the unloading mechanism 3 can be quickly pushed out and unloaded, so as to prepare for subsequent printing and processing. The limiting mechanism 6 is used to protect the pushing mechanism 4 from sliding when it is pulled, so as to prevent the pushing mechanism 4 from slipping;

[0051] S3: When unloading, the clamping mechanism 5 is operated by driving the pushing mechanism 4, so that the clamping mechanism 5 is clamped against the unloading mechanism 3, so that the blank is lifted and pulled out when unloading;

[0052] S4: The protection mechanism 8 is activated by driving the push mechanism 4, so that the protection mechanism 8 engages and locks the reset printing mechanism 2 to prevent the printing mechanism 2 from moving due to misoperation and causing an accident.

[0053] When the present invention is in use, firstly, the machine base 1 facilitates the installation of the frame 201, and the frame 201 facilitates the connection of the printing assembly 202, and the table panel 203 facilitates the stacking of blanks during printing, and the table top can slide under the action of the transmission assembly and the guide rail 204, and the 3D printing work is realized under the action of the printing assembly 202, and the storage groove 302 facilitates the placement of multiple stacked pads 301, and the two side edges of the top pad are in conflict with the inner side of the machine base 1, and the pad 301 facilitates the stacking of blanks during 3D printing, and the top pad 301 is pulled out to facilitate the unloading work, and the bottom plate 303 and the telescopic spring 304 are used. The locking cam 702 is engaged with the locking cam 706, and the locking cam 706 is engaged with the locking cam 706 to limit the position of the horizontal plate 401, so that the horizontal plate 401 will not be pulled out. By pushing the push buckle 701, the push buckle 701 drives the locking cam 702 to slide out of the locking cam 706, so that the horizontal plate 401 can be slid and pulled out on the table panel 203 to realize the unloading work. By pressing the spring 705, the protrusion 704 is in conflict with the inside of the groove 703, which plays a role in assisting the limiting of the contact of the locking cam 702. By pushing the locking cam 702, since one end of the protrusion 704 is a hemispherical structure, the groove 703 conflicts with the protrusion 704 to get rid of the pressing spring 705. When the locking cam 706 is in the locked state, the locking cam 706 is in the locked state, and the locking cam 706 is in the locked state, so that the locking cam 706 is locked. 07 slides on the pad 301. When the push plate 405 slides to the initial position, the push block 407 slides out of one end of the pad 301, and the top plate rises under the resistance of the bottom plate 303 to facilitate printing and stacking, so that the push block 407 is on one side of the pad 301, which is convenient for subsequent pushing. Through the action of the extrusion spring 602, the guide wheel 603 on the limit block 601 is in resistance with the slide bar 403, which is beneficial for the slide bar 403 not to cause wear when sliding. After the slide bar 403 slides to a certain position, the limit groove 605 is located at the top of the limit block 601. Under the action of the extrusion spring 602, the limit block 601 slides into the limit groove 605 and engages, which is beneficial for limiting the slide bar 403 and preventing it from being pulled out, thereby preventing the slide bar 403 from slipping off. By pushing the slide bar 403,Since the limit block 601 and the limit groove 605 are both trapezoidal structures, the side wall of the limit groove 605 shrinks against the limit block 601, so that the slide bar 403 can slide back and forth, and the plurality of top blocks 501 are in contact with the inner side of the table panel 203 under the action of the resistance spring 502. The top block 501 resists the driving rod 505 to pull the card plate 506 under the action of the movable groove 504, so that the card plate 506 is stored in the slide bar 403. When the slide bar 403 is pulled out, the top block 501 is in contact with the resistance spring 502. 2, the top block 501 pulls the driving rod 505 to swing, and under the action of the movable groove 504 and the fixed shaft 503, the driving rod 505 is pushed out by the lever principle, and the clamping plate 506 slides out of the outer side of the sliding rod 403 and contacts the bottom side of the pad 301, which is conducive to supporting and lifting the pad 301 through multiple clamping plates 506, so that the pad 301 will not collapse during unloading, which is convenient for better unloading work, and slides into the interior of the table panel 203 through the sliding rod 403, and the top block 501 is resisted and retracted. The card plate 506 shrinks and resets, which is convenient for the subsequent pad 301 to rise and receive the material. After the table panel 203 slides out of one end of the frame 201, it is convenient to pull the cross plate 401 to unload the material, and the locking pin 805 is located at the top of the card slot 809. After the cross plate 401 slides out of the table panel 203, the transmission rod 801 and the driving wheel 808 rise and slide without external force under the action of the control spring 807. The transmission rod 801 drives the driving block 803 to resist one of the pressing wheels 802, so that the extrusion rod 804 and the other pressing wheel 808 02 resists the top of the lock pin 805, and the lock pin 805 slides down to get rid of the action of the movable spring 806, which is conducive to the lock pin 805 inserting into the card slot 809, thereby limiting the table panel 203 and preventing the table panel 203 from sliding due to unintentional operation and causing accidents. After the material is unloaded, the horizontal plate 401 is pushed to reset, and the horizontal plate 401 squeezes the transmission rod 801 to reset, which is conducive to the lock pin 805 to reset and slide out of the card slot 809 under the action of the movable spring 806, which is convenient for the subsequent table to release the limit and work normally.
