[0029] When in use, the adjustment device 100 is used to increase the distance between the first tensioning roller 132 and the second tensioning roller 142, so that the light-transmitting coating component 600 passing through 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 translation drive device 400 is used to drive the translation seat 110 to translate, and the power roller 210 is driven to rotate by the rotation drive device 220. The light-transmitting coating component 600 is driven by the power roller 210 and is coated in a tensioned state. Moreover, during the transmission process of the light-transmitting coating component 600, the light-transmitting coating component 600 can be guided by the guide plane 521 of the flattening component 500 to evenly coat the printing material, so as to improve the coating effect, thereby improving the printing effect. Therefore, the coating device of a 3D printing device provided by the present invention 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 and an adjusting device 100. The adjusting 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.

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.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the printing material may be a viscous material to improve the printing effect.

[0031] 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.

[0032] 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.

[0033] Preferably, the coating device of the 3D printing equipment 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 passes 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 transmission of the light-transmitting coating component 600 can be improved.

[0034] 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 .

[0035] 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 wheel shaft 121 is rotated forward manually by the operator or by the external rotation driving device 220, the ratchet 123 and the transmission gear 122 rotate forward with the wheel shaft 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 wheel shaft 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 wheel shaft 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.

[0036] 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.

[0037] 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.

[0038] 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.

[0039] 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.

[0040] 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, so that 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, and the light-transmitting coating component 600 wound around the power roller 210, the paving component 500, the first tensioning roller 132 and the second tensioning roller 142 is in a tensioned state. If the light-transmitting coating needs to be replaced When the cloth component 600 is moved, 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. 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. With the swinging 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 to the right position, the ratchet 151 is buckled into the tooth groove of the ratchet 123 under the elastic force of the elastic component, thereby locking the first tensioning frame 130 and the second tensioning roller 142. 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 axle 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 light-transmitting coating wound on the power roller 210, the paving component 500, the first tensioning roller 132 and the second tensioning roller 142 can be moved. Component 600 is in a tensioned state, which makes the tension adjustment operation more convenient and quick, saves tension adjustment time, and improves adjustment efficiency. Moreover, when the light-transmitting coating component 600 is driven by the power roller 210 and is coating, the axle 121 remains in the working position under the elastic force of the coil spring, and the first tensioning roller 132 and the second tensioning roller 142 are still at the position with the largest distance between them, 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, thereby further improving the coating effect.

[0041] In actual design, in order to facilitate identification of the working position of the wheel axle 121, a first identification point may be set on the wheel axle 121, and a second identification point may be set on the translation seat 110. When the wheel axle 121 is reset to the working position, the first identification point is opposite to the second identification point. If the wheel axle 121 is rotated from the working position to other positions, the first identification point and the second identification point are offset, thereby facilitating the user to identify the position of the wheel axle 121.

[0042] The translation seat 110 is provided with an installation cavity, and the coil spring is located in the installation cavity, which can facilitate the installation of the coil spring and prevent the coil spring from being exposed.

[0043] Preferably, a first embedding groove is provided on the wheel axle 121, a second embedding groove is provided on the translation seat 110, the inner end of the coil spring is fixed in the first embedding groove, and the outer end of the coil spring is fixed in the second embedding groove to facilitate installation.

[0044] The first tensioning frame 130 further includes a first tooth plate 131; the first tooth plate 131 is hinged on the translation seat 110, and the first tensioning roller 132 is rotatably mounted on the first tooth plate 131; the first tooth plate 131 is provided with the first tooth pattern 133, and the first tooth plate 131 is meshed with the transmission gear 122. The second tensioning frame 140 further includes a second tooth plate 141; the second tooth plate 141 is hinged on the translation seat 110, and the second tensioning roller 142 is rotatably mounted on the second tooth plate 141; the second tooth pattern 143 is provided on the second tooth plate 141, and the second tooth plate 141 is meshed with the first tooth plate 131. During the transmission process of the light-transmitting coating component 600, the first tensioning roller 132 and the second tensioning roller 142 can rotate relative to the first tooth plate 131 and the second tooth plate 141 respectively under the driving action of the light-transmitting coating component 600 to reduce friction. During the rotation of the axle 121, the ratchet 123 and the transmission gear 122 rotate with the axle 121, and the first tooth plate 131 of the first tensioning frame 130 swings under the driving action of the transmission gear 122. At this time, the first tensioning roller 132 swings around the hinge point of the first tooth plate 131 along with the first tooth plate 131, and the second tooth plate 141 of the second tensioning frame 140 swings under the driving action of the first tensioning frame 130, and the second tensioning roller 142 swings around the hinge point of the second tooth plate 141 along with the second tooth plate 141, thereby adjusting the positions of the first tensioning roller 132 and the second tensioning roller 142.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first tooth plate 131 is hinged to the translation seat 110 through a first pin shaft, a first through hole is provided on the first tooth plate 131, a first mounting hole is provided on the translation seat 110, the first pin shaft is installed in the first mounting hole and penetrates in the first through hole, so that the first tooth plate 131 is hinged to the translation seat 110 in the above manner, so that the first tooth plate 131 can swing around the central axis of the first pin shaft.

[0046] Of course, in addition to this, the first tooth plate 131 and the second tooth plate 141 may be hinged on the translation seat 110 through other existing structures.

[0048] In the transmission direction A of the light-transmitting coating component 600 , the flattening component 500 is located between the first tensioning roller 132 and the second tensioning roller 142 .

[0049] The coating device of the 3D printing equipment further includes a guide roller 230 , which is rotatably mounted on the translation seat 110 , and the light-transmitting coating component 600 also passes around the guide roller 230 , so that the guide roller 230 can guide the light-transmitting coating component 600 .

[0050] Preferably, the coating device of the 3D printing device further includes two guide rollers 230, and the light-transmitting coating component 600 also passes through the two guide rollers 230.

In this embodiment, the first tensioning roller 132 and the second tensioning roller 142 are respectively placed on both sides of the translation seat 110, that is, if the first tensioning roller 132 is located on the left side of the translation seat 110, the second tensioning roller 142 is located on the right side of the translation seat 110; if the first tensioning roller 132 is located on the right side of the translation seat 110, the second tensioning roller 142 is located on the left side of the translation seat 110.

When in use, the piston pushing device 330 works, and the piston 322 is pushed by the piston pushing device 330 so that the piston 322 moves along the inside of the barrel 320. The printing material in the barrel 320 is sprayed out of the light-transmitting coating component 600 along the discharge pipe 321 under the pushing action of the piston 322, so that the printing material can be supplied to the light-transmitting coating component 600.

[0053] Of course, in addition to this, the feeding device 200 may also adopt a nozzle device, a roller coating device, etc., as long as it can be used to supply printing materials to the light-transmitting coating component 600. However, the feeding device 200 adopts a combination of a barrel 320 and a piston pushing device 330, which is the most preferred embodiment of the present invention and can facilitate continuous and stable discharge of materials.

When in use, the power component 332 works to drive the first screw 331 to rotate in the positive direction to move the first screw nut 333, and drives the piston 322 to move through the transmission member 334, so that the printing material in the barrel 320 is pushed toward the discharge pipe 321 through the piston 322, so that the printing material can be sprayed from the discharge pipe 321 onto the light-transmitting coating component 600, thereby realizing the discharge.

[0055] The barrel 320 is detachably fixed to the rack 310. On the basis that the feeding device 200 uses the barrel 320 and the piston pushing device 330, the piston pushing device 330 can push the piston 322 to realize material discharge, and then the barrel 320 is detachably fixed to the rack 310. After the printing material in the barrel 320 is used up, the barrel 320 can be removed from the rack 310, the piston is separated from the piston pushing device 330, and then a new barrel 320 is connected to the rack 310, so that the barrel 320 can be easily removed and replaced.

[0060] Preferably, the end of the transmission member 334 away from the first screw nut 333 is detachably connected to the protruding portion 323. By embedding the end of the transmission member 334 away from the first screw nut 333 in the built-in groove 324, and then detachably connecting the end of the transmission member 334 away from the first screw nut 333 to the protruding portion 323, the piston 322 and the piston pushing device 330 can be separated, and the stability of the pushing piston 322 can be further improved.

[0061] In this embodiment, the end of the transmission member 334 away from the first screw nut 333 is connected to the protruding portion 323 through a screw. Of course, in addition to this, the end of the transmission member 334 away from the first screw nut 333 can also be connected to the protruding portion 323 through a pin, etc., as long as the end of the transmission member 334 away from the first screw nut 333 can be connected to the protruding portion 323 in a detachable manner.

In the process of the power component 332 driving the first screw nut 333 to move axially along the first screw 331, the anti-bending chain moves along the guide groove 313 under the driving action of the first screw nut 333 to push the piston 322, so that the anti-bending chain can be guided through the guide groove 313. By providing a guide groove 313 on the material rack 310 and using an anti-bending chain as the transmission member 334, the piston 322 can be pushed to move, and the volume of the feeding device can be reduced, thereby reducing the space.

[0063] Of course, in addition to this, the transmission member 334 can also be a transmission rod, or a push frame, etc., as long as it can push the piston 322. However, using an anti-bending chain as the transmission member 334 is the most preferred embodiment of the present invention, which can push the piston 322 and reduce the volume of the feeding device and the space.

[0064] The material rack 310 is provided with a mounting groove 317 for accommodating the material barrel 320, and the material rack 310 is detachably connected with a stopper 318 for stopping the material barrel 320.
