On the second tensioning roller 142 and the flattening component 500; the light-transmitting coating component 600 is used to coat the printing material on the working area 617; the light-curing device 620 is used to emit light toward the printing material to solidify the printing material irradiated by the light; the flattening component 500 is installed at the lower end of the translation seat 110, and the flattening component 500 includes a light-transmitting portion 520; the lower end of the light-transmitting portion 520 is provided with a guide surface 521 for the light-transmitting coating component 600 to pass around.

[0031] When in use, the adjustment device 100 is adjusted to increase the distance between the first tensioning roller 132 and the second tensioning roller 142, so that the light-transmitting coating component 600 wrapped around the power roller 210, the first tensioning roller 132, the second tensioning roller 142 and the flattening component 500 is in a tensioned state as the distance between the first tensioning roller 132 and the second tensioning roller 142 increases, and then the lifting device 601 drives the printing table 616 to rise, and the translation drive device 400 drives the translation seat 110 to the left and right. The power roller 210 is driven to rotate by the rotary drive device 220, and the light-transmitting coating component 600 is driven by the power roller 210 to spread the printing material on the working area 617 in a tensioned state, and the light-curing device 620 emits light toward the printing material coated on the working area 617 so that the printing material irradiated by the light is cured and formed into a material layer. As the light-transmitting coating component 600 continues to drive, the light-transmitting coating component 600 is separated from the material layer and demolded. During the transmission of the cloth component 600, the light-transmitting coating component 600 coats the printing material in a tensioned state, and can evenly coat the printing material under the guidance of the flattening component 500, which can improve the coating effect and further improve the printing effect; and after the material layer is solidified and formed, the light-transmitting coating component 600 is separated from the material layer and demoulded, the lifting device 601 drives the printing workbench 616 to descend, the translation drive device 400 drives the translation seat 110 to move right to the starting point, and then drives the translation seat 110 to move left through the translation drive device 400, and drives the power roller 210 to rotate through the rotation drive device 220, the light-transmitting coating component 600 is driven by the power roller 210 and coats the printing material on the aforementioned material layer in a tensioned state, and then the light-curing device 620 emits light toward the printing material coated on the aforementioned material layer so that the printing material irradiated by the light is solidified and formed into the next material layer, and then the above-mentioned method is continuously operated to produce printed products in a layer-by-layer printing and forming manner.Therefore, the present invention provides a 3D printing device, which adopts a combination of a translation drive device 400, a translation seat 110, a power roller 210, a rotation drive device 220, a paving component 500, a first tensioning frame 130, a second tensioning frame 140, a light-transmitting coating component 600, a feeding device 200, an adjustment device 100, a light-curing device 620, a printing table 616 and a lifting device 601. The adjustment device 100 can be used to adjust the distance between the first tensioning roller 132 and the second tensioning roller 142, so that the light-transmitting coating component 600 is in a tensioned state, so that the light-transmitting coating component 600 can be reduced from loosening during the coating process of the light-transmitting coating component 600, so that the light-transmitting coating component 600 is coated in a tensioned state, which can improve the coating effect. On this basis, by guiding the paving component 500 The light-transmitting coating component 600 can smoothly coat the printing material, so as to significantly improve the coating effect, thereby improving the printing effect; in addition, if the light-transmitting coating component 600 needs to be replaced, the adjustment device 100 can be used to reduce the distance between the first tensioning roller 132 and the second tensioning roller 142, so that the light-transmitting coating component 600 wrapped around the power roller 210, the first tensioning roller 132, the second tensioning roller 142 and the flattening component 500 can be in a relaxed state as the distance between the first tensioning roller 132 and the second tensioning roller 142 is reduced. At this time, the light-transmitting coating component 600 can be removed, and then the new light-transmitting coating component 600 can be wrapped around the power roller 210, the first tensioning roller 132, the second tensioning roller 142 and the flattening component 500, thereby facilitating the replacement of the light-transmitting coating component 600.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the printing material may be a viscous material to improve the printing effect.

[0033] The light-transmitting portion 520 can be used to allow light emitted by the light-curing device 620 to pass through. When in use, the light emitted by the light-curing device 620 can be irradiated onto the printing material through the light-transmitting portion 520 and the light-transmitting coating component 600 to cure the printing material irradiated by the light.

[0034] Preferably, the light-transmitting coating component 600 can be a coating film, etc., as long as it can be used for coating. The light-transmitting coating component 600 is in a ring shape, that is, at least one section of the extension track of the light-transmitting coating component 600 is in a loop shape and can be wrapped around the power roller 210, the first tensioning roller 132, the second tensioning roller 142 and the paving component 500. For example, the head and tail ends of the light-transmitting coating component 600 can be integrally formed or fixed together.

[0035] The rotary drive device 220 includes a first drive motor 221, a driving pulley 222, a driven pulley 223 and a transmission belt 224; the first drive motor 221 is used to drive the driving pulley 222 to rotate, the driven pulley 223 is fixed on the power roller 210, and the transmission belt 224 is wound around the driving pulley 222 and the driven pulley 223. The body of the first drive motor 221 is fixed on the translation seat 110. When in use, the first drive motor 221 drives the driving pulley 222 to rotate, so that the driven pulley 223 and the power roller 210 are driven to rotate through the transmission belt 224.

[0036] Preferably, the 3D printing device includes two power rollers 210, which are rotatably mounted on the translation seat 110 respectively; the rotation drive device 220 is used to drive the two power rollers 210 to rotate; the light-transmitting coating component 600 is wrapped around the two power rollers 210, and by utilizing the two power rollers 210 to drive the light-transmitting coating component 600 to transmit, the power of the light-transmitting coating component 600 transmission can be increased, and the stability of the light-transmitting coating component 600 transmission can be improved.

[0037] Specifically, a driven pulley 223 is fixed on each of the two power rollers 210 ; and the transmission belt 224 is wound around the driven pulleys 223 of the two power rollers 210 .

[0038] The adjusting device 100 includes a rotating body 120, a ratchet 151, an elastic component and an elastic reset element 160; the rotating body 120 includes a wheel shaft 121, a transmission gear 122 and a ratchet 123; the wheel shaft 121 is rotatably mounted on the translation seat 110; the transmission gear 122 and the ratchet 123 are respectively fixed on the wheel shaft 121; the elastic reset element 160 is arranged between the rotating body 120 and the translation seat 110; the first tensioning frame 130 is provided with a first The first tensioning frame 130 is meshed with the transmission gear 122; the second tensioning frame 140 is provided with a second tooth pattern 143, and the second tensioning frame 140 is meshed with the first tensioning frame 130; the pawl 151 is hinged on the translation seat 110, and the elastic component is arranged between the pawl 151 and the translation seat 110; the pawl 151 is used to buckle into the tooth groove of the ratchet 123; the elastic component is used to provide an elastic force to urge the pawl 151 to buckle into the tooth groove of the ratchet 123. When in use, the operator manually or through an external driving device rotates the axle 121 in the forward direction, the ratchet 123 and the transmission gear 122 rotate in the forward direction with the axle 121, the first tensioning frame 130 swings under the driving action of the transmission gear 122, and the second tensioning frame 140 swings under the driving action of the first tensioning frame 130, and with the swing of the first tensioning frame 130 and the second tensioning frame 140, the distance between the first tensioning roller 132 and the second tensioning roller 142 can be adjusted, and after the axle 121 rotates to the right position, the pawl 151 is buckled into the corresponding tooth groove of the ratchet 123, so as to play a locking role, so that the first tensioning frame 130 and the second tensioning frame 140 remain in the corresponding position, and the pawl 151 is pulled to separate the pawl 151 from the ratchet 123, at this time, the axle 121 is elastically reset under the elastic force of the elastic reset element 160, The first tensioning frame 130 swings and resets under the driving action of the transmission gear 122, and the second tensioning frame 140 swings and resets under the driving action of the first tensioning frame 130. In this way, the distance between the first tensioning roller 132 and the second tensioning roller 142 can be flexibly and quickly adjusted, so that the tension adjustment operation of the light-transmitting coating component 600 wrapped around the first tensioning roller 132 and the second tensioning roller 142 is more convenient and quick, which can save the tension adjustment time and improve the adjustment efficiency.

[0039] The elastic component includes a spring, so that when the user pulls the pawl 151 to separate the pawl 151 from the ratchet 123, the axle 121 is elastically reset under the elastic force of the elastic reset element 160, and then the pawl 151 is released. The pawl 151 can be reset under the elastic force of the spring to snap into the tooth groove of the ratchet 123, thereby improving the convenience of operation and reducing costs.

[0040] Of course, the elastic component may be any elastic component currently available on the market, such as an elastic strip, in addition to the spring.

[0041] The elastic reset element 160 includes a coil spring. One end of the coil spring is connected to the axle 121, and the other end is connected to the translation seat 110, so that after the user pulls the pawl 151 to separate the pawl 151 from the ratchet 123, the axle 121 can be elastically reset under the elastic force of the coil spring. By using the coil spring as the elastic reset element 160, it can provide elastic force to the axle 121 and facilitate installation.

[0042] Of course, in addition to the coil spring, the elastic reset element 160 can also adopt any existing elastic reset element on the market, such as a torsion spring, etc., as long as it can play an elastic reset role.

[0043] Preferably, the elastic reset element 160 is used to provide an elastic force to cause the wheel shaft 121 to rotate and reset to the working position. When the wheel shaft 121 is in the working position, the distance between the first tensioning roller 132 and the second tensioning roller 142 is the largest, that is, when the wheel shaft 121 is located in other positions within its rotation range, the distance between the first tensioning roller 132 and the second tensioning roller 142 is smaller than the distance between the first tensioning roller 132 and the second tensioning roller 142 when the wheel shaft 121 is in the working position. Therefore, after the user pulls the pawl 151 to separate the pawl 151 from the ratchet 123, the wheel shaft 121 can be elastically reset to the working position under the elastic force of the coil spring. At this time, the distance between the first tensioning roller 132 and the second tensioning roller 142 is the largest. The light-transmitting coating component 600 on the power roller 210, the flattening component 500, the first tensioning roller 132 and the second tensioning roller 142 is in a tensioned state. If the light-transmitting coating component 600 needs to be replaced, the operator can manually rotate the axle 121 in the positive direction, and the axle 121 rotates from the working position to other positions. The ratchet 123 and the transmission gear 122 rotate in the positive direction with the axle 121, and the first tensioning frame 130 swings under the driving action of the transmission gear 122. The second tensioning frame 140 swings under the driving action of the first tensioning frame 130. With the swing of the first tensioning frame 130 and the second tensioning frame 140, the distance between the first tensioning roller 132 and the second tensioning roller 142 can be reduced. After the axle 121 rotates into place, the ratchet 151 is buckled into the tooth groove of the ratchet 123 under the elastic force of the elastic component, so as to play a locking role, so that the first tensioning frame 130 and the second tensioning frame 140 are kept in the corresponding positions, which is convenient for taking out the light-transmitting coating component 600 and updating the light-transmitting coating component 600. After the light-transmitting coating component 600 is replaced, it is only necessary to pull the pawl 151 to separate the pawl 151 from the ratchet 123. At this time, the wheel shaft 121 is elastically reset to the working position under the elastic force of the elastic reset element 160, and then the pawl 151 is released, so that the pawl 151 is buckled into the tooth groove of the ratchet 123 under the elastic force of the elastic component, so that the first tensioning frame 130 and the second tensioning frame 140 can be wound around the power roller 210, the paving component 500, the first tensioning roller 132 and the second tensioning frame 140. The light-transmitting coating component 600 on the tightening roller 142 is in a tensioned state, which makes the tension adjustment operation more convenient and quick, saves the tension adjustment time, and improves the adjustment efficiency. Moreover, when the light-transmitting coating component 600 is driven by the power roller 210 and is coating, the axle 121 is continuously maintained in the working position under the combined action of the elastic force of the coil spring and the engagement of the pawl 151, and the first tensioning roller 132 and the second tensioning roller 142 are at the position where the distance between them is the largest, so that the light-transmitting coating component 600 is continuously in a tensioned state during the coating process, which can improve the coating stability, so as to further reduce or even avoid the loosening of the light-transmitting coating component 600 during the coating process of the light-transmitting coating component 600, and further improve the coating effect.
