Description

Technical Field

[0002] 3D printing is a type of rapid prototyping technology, also known as additive manufacturing. It is a technology that uses digital model files as the basis and uses adhesive materials such as powdered metal or plastic to construct objects by printing layer by layer.

[0003] Most of the existing devices facilitate the installation and disassembly of the FDM base plate by tightening and loosening the screws. However, after the screws are locked on the FDM base plate, the entire FDM base plate will tilt due to the different tightening forces of the screws, which will cause the 3D printed model to be skewed, which is inconvenient for personnel to control. For example, an FDM base plate installation structure of a 3D printing device with publication number CN217944341U, when in use, first when installing the FDM base plate, it is only necessary to fit the connecting ports at the four bottom corners of the FDM base plate with the top of the shock-absorbing sleeve in turn, and then extend the top of the screw into the inner side of the bottom connecting port of the FDM base plate and tighten it. When the FDM base plate is damaged and needs to be replaced, it is only necessary to loosen the four screws to quickly remove the FDM base plate, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement of the FDM base plate. However, since the method of fastening the bottom connection port of the FDM base plate with bolts easily causes the FDM base plate to deform, the horizontality of the FDM base plate is reduced, and the printed 3D product is further tilted, which easily causes quality problems of the printed 3D product.

[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiment of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiment of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the described embodiment of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used herein shall have the usual meanings understood by persons of ordinary skill in the field to which the present invention belongs. "Include" or "comprises" and similar words mean that the elements or objects appearing before the word include the elements or objects listed after the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. "Inside", "outside", "upper", "lower", "far", "near", "front", "back", etc. are only used to indicate relative positional relationships. When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0020] The drawings in the present invention are not drawn strictly according to the actual scale, and the specific size and quantity of each structure can be determined according to actual needs. The drawings described in the present invention are only schematic diagrams of the structures.

[0021] The present invention provides an FDM base plate mounting structure for a 3D printing device, such as Figure 1-Figure 7 and Figure 15-16 The 3D printing device comprises: a chassis 1, a base plate 2 and a circular FDM base plate 3, wherein the base plate 2 and the FDM base plate 3 are both located in the chassis 1, and the base plate 2 has a target area for placing the FDM base plate 3, and the FDM base plate mounting structure of the 3D printing device also includes a limiting mechanism, wherein the limiting mechanism includes: a plurality of support plates 5, a plurality of connecting rods 6 and a traction member 4; the plurality of support plates 5 are arranged around the center of the target area, and each support plate 5 is rotatably connected to the base plate 2, and the upper surfaces of the plurality of support plates 5 are all located in the same horizontal plane, and after the support plates 5 rotate simultaneously, the ends of the plurality of support plates 5 They all approach or move away from the center of the target area, and are used to simultaneously support or release the FDM base plate 3, and each support plate 5 has a connection point on the surface on both sides of its rotation center; the number of multiple connecting rods 6 is the same as the number of multiple support plates 5, and the two ends of each connecting rod 6 are respectively rotated to connect the connection points on two adjacent support plates 5, driving the multiple support plates 5 to rotate simultaneously; the traction member 4 includes a fixed end and a movable end, the fixed end is connected to the base plate 2, and the movable end is rotated to connect the middle part of any one of the connecting rods 6, so that the multiple support plates 5 can be driven to rotate in the same direction after the mobile end is actuated.

[0022] The diameter of the FDM base plate 3 is 30cm, and the thickness of the support plate 5 is 5mm-15mm. The connecting rod 6 here is preferably a flat plate, and the traction member 4 is an electric push rod. The multiple support plates 5 and the multiple connecting rods 6 in the FDM base plate mounting structure of the present 3D printing device are rotated and connected in sequence to form a closed structure, and the multiple support plates 5 are also rotatably connected to the base plate 2, so that after the moving end of the traction member 4 drives one of the connecting rods 6 to move, the connecting rod 6 drives the adjacent support plate 5 to rotate, and after the support plate 5 rotates, it drives the adjacent connecting rod 6 to move, and so on, until all the support plates 5 rotate in the same direction and the same angle, after all the support plates 5 rotate forward (or reverse), the edges of all the support plates 5 are close to each other (or away from each other) at the same time, when the edges of all the support plates 5 are close to each other, it is convenient to place the FDM base plate 3 above the edges of all the support plates 5, because the upper surfaces of all the support plates 5 are located on the same horizontal plane, so when the FDM base plate 3 is placed above the edges of all the support plates 5, the FDM base plate 3 can also be guaranteed to be horizontal.

[0023] The electric push rod contracts and drives the connecting rod 6 to move, thereby enabling the multiple support plates 5 to horizontally support the FDM plate or allowing the FDM plate to fall off or drop from the multiple support plates 5, thereby avoiding the problem of interference between the printing end and the sheet-like support plate 5 when the printing end of the 3D printing device is printing.

[0024] Therefore, the FDM base plate mounting structure of the present 3D printing device can make the FDM base plate 3 placed on the upper surface of the support plate 5 in a horizontal state by rotating multiple support plates 5 in the same horizontal plane in the same direction, thereby avoiding the existing method of adjusting the horizontality of the FDM base plate 3 by the pre-tightening force of the bolts, which causes the FDM base plate 3 to deform and tilt, and further ensures the printing quality of the 3D product.

[0025] As an example, Figure 5-Figure 7 The support plate 5 includes: a strip plate 7 and a connecting plate 8; the middle part of the strip plate 7 is rotatably arranged on the base plate 2, a curved surface 9 is provided at one of the corners of the strip plate 7, and an end of the strip plate 7 away from the curved surface 9 has a connecting point; the connecting plate 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the middle part of the strip plate 7 close to the arc center angle of the curved surface 9, and has a connecting point on the connecting plate 8.

[0026] The arc surface 9 is used to prevent interference between the multiple strip plates 7 after rotation. The connecting plate 8 is a square. The length of the strip plate 7 is 15cm-25cm and is 3 times the side length of the square. The width and thickness of the connecting plate 8 and the strip plate 7 are equal, and the thickness value is 3mm-10mm. In addition, the connecting plate 8 and the strip plate 7 are chamfered to avoid interference.

[0027] As an example, Figure 2-Figure 3 The number of the support plates 5 is 4; the multiple connecting rods 6 include two first connecting rods 10 and two second connecting rods 11, and the two connection points on each of the support plates 5 are respectively connected to the end of a first connecting rod 10 and the end of a second connecting rod 11, so that the two first connecting rods 10 and the two second connecting rods 11 form a rectangle, and the movable end of the traction member 4 is rotatably connected to the middle part of the first connecting rod 10 or the middle part of the second connecting rod 11.

[0028] The number of support plates 5 is preferably 4. The purpose of enclosing a rectangle with two first connecting rods 10 and two second connecting rods 11 is to make two support plates 5 closer to the center of the target area, increase the contact area between the support plates 5 and the FDM base plate 3, and make the FDM base plate 3 more stable.

[0029] As an example, Figure 8-Figure 10A circular hole 12 is provided on the target area of ​​the substrate 2, and a plurality of vertical guide blocks 13 are fixedly provided on the surface of the substrate 2 around the contour edge of the circular hole 12, and the sides of the plurality of vertical guide blocks 13 are slidably connected to the circumferential surface of the FDM base plate 3; the FDM base plate mounting structure of the 3D printing device also includes a lifting mechanism, which is located below the substrate 2, and the lifting end of the lifting mechanism is connected to the substrate 2, and a tray 14 for receiving the FDM base plate 3 is provided below the substrate 2.

[0030] The diameter of the circular hole 12 is the same as that of the FDM base plate 3, both of which are 30 cm. When the edges of all the support plates 5 are close to each other and enter above the circular hole 12, the FDM base plate 3 is manually placed between multiple guide blocks 13. The FDM base plate 3 naturally falls by gravity and fits on top of each support plate 5. The guide blocks 13 can limit the FDM base plate 3 from sliding on the surface of each support plate 5, and then 3D printing is started; when the 3D printing is completed, the edges of the support plates 5 are controlled to move away from each other, and the FDM base plate 3 and the 3D printed products simultaneously pass through the circular hole 12 and fall on the tray 14, raising the height of the substrate 2, so that the FDM base plate 3 and the 3D printed products can leave the substrate 2 and the printing area.

[0031] As an example, Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Figure 15-16 The lifting mechanism includes: a double-headed screw 15, two nut sliders 17 and two rotating rods 18; the threads at both ends of the double-headed screw 15 are rotated in opposite directions and are rotatably arranged on the outer bottom of the chassis 1, and a sliding hole 16 located on the same straight line is provided on the bottom wall of the chassis 1, and the length direction of the sliding hole 16 is parallel to the double-headed screw 15; the two nut sliders 17 are respectively threadedly connected to the two ends of the double-headed screw 15; the two rotating rods 18 correspond to one nut slider 17, and the nut slider 17 is rotatably connected to one end of the rotating rod 18, and the other end of the rotating rod 18 passes through the sliding hole 16 on the corresponding side and is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the substrate 2.

[0032] After the double-headed screw 15 rotates, the two nut sliders 17 synchronously approach or move away from each other, so that the two rotating rods 18 rotate simultaneously, and the two rotating rods 18 drive the substrate 2 to rise and fall simultaneously. Since the two rotating rods 18 rotate synchronously at the same angle, the lifting speeds on both sides of the substrate 2 are also the same, which can ensure that the substrate 2 and the FDM base plate 3 remain level at the same time.

[0033] As an example, Figure 4 and Fig. 9Two horizontal rods 19 are fixedly provided on the lower surface of the base plate 2. The horizontal rods 19 are parallel and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the circular hole 12. The middle part of each horizontal rod 19 is rotatably connected to the end of the rotating rod 18 on the corresponding side; guide grooves 20 are provided on the opposite side edges of the base plate 2, and the guide grooves 20 are slidably connected to the vertical guide rails 21 arranged on the inner side of the chassis 1.

[0034] The two horizontal rods 19 are connected to the base plate 2 at four points in total, and the base plate 2 is more stable when the two horizontal rods 19 move up and down synchronously.

[0035] As an example, Figure 1 and Figure 10-12 The side of the chassis 1 is provided with a cabinet door 21, and the inner bottom surface of the chassis 1 is provided with a delivery mechanism for delivering the tray 14 to the direction of the cabinet door 21, and the delivery mechanism includes: two horizontal slide rails 22, an upper rack 23, a gear 24, a horizontal push rod 25 and a lower rack 26; the two horizontal slide rails 22 are arranged parallel to each other on the inner bottom surface of the chassis 1, and the horizontal slider slidably arranged on each horizontal slide rail 22 is fixedly connected to the tray 14; the upper rack 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the tray 14, and the length direction of the upper rack 23 is parallel to the horizontal slide rail 22; the gear 24 meshes with the upper rack 23; one end of the horizontal push rod 25 is fixedly connected to the chassis 1, and the other end is rotatably connected to the gear 24, and the extension direction of the horizontal push rod 25 is parallel to the horizontal slide rail 22; the lower rack 26 meshes with the gear 24 and is parallel to the horizontal slide rail 22.

[0036] By controlling the horizontal push rod 25 to extend (or contract), the lower rack 26 drives the gear 24 to rotate counterclockwise (or clockwise), and the gear 24 engages the upper rack 23 so that the upper rack 23 drives the tray 14 to move out of (or into) the chassis 1, so that the FDM base plate 3 and the printed 3D product can be moved out of the chassis 1, and the tray 14 can also be reset.

[0037] As an example, Fig.11 and Fig.13 A first pulley 27 is fixedly provided in the middle of the double-headed screw 15 . The first pulley 27 is connected to a second pulley 29 via a belt 28 . The second pulley 29 is fixedly provided on the output shaft of the motor, and the motor is fixed on the chassis 1 .

[0038] The motor is preferably a stepper motor, which drives the double-headed screw 15 through a belt-pulley transmission, and the lifting height of the substrate 2 is adjusted by controlling the number of rotations of the stepper motor.

[0039] As an example, Fig.12 and Fig.14A limiting ring 30 is fixedly disposed on the upper surface of the tray 14 . The limiting ring 30 is coaxial with the FDM base plate 3 , and the inner diameter of the limiting ring 30 is greater than the diameter of the FDM base plate 3 .

[0040] The inner diameter of the limiting ring 30 is larger than the diameter of the FDM base plate 3, specifically 30cm-35cm, in order to allow the FDM base plate 3 and the 3D printed product to fall into the middle of the limiting ring 30, preventing the FDM base plate 3 and the 3D printed product from falling during the process of being moved out of the chassis 1.

[0041] As an example, Figure 2 and Figure 4 A transition arc is provided on the side surface of the upper end of the guide block 13 near the middle of the circular hole 12 for quickly placing the FDM base plate 3 between the multiple guide blocks 13 .

[0042] The method of using the FDM base plate mounting structure of a 3D printing device of the present invention is as follows: First, the operator controls the traction member 4 to retract, and the multiple connecting rods 6 drive the multiple supporting plates 5 to rotate and approach each other, and the ends of the multiple supporting plates 5 are all extended into the range of the circular hole 12; Then, the box door 21 is opened, and the FDM base plate 3 is manually placed horizontally between the multiple guide blocks 13, and the sliding of the FDM base plate 3 is restricted. The FDM base plate 3 is attached to the upper surfaces of the multiple support plates 5 to keep it horizontal, and the box door 21 is closed to start 3D printing; Next, the 3D product is printed, and the motor is controlled to rotate forward, so that the FDM base plate 3 and the 3D printed product are lowered, and the traction member 4 is controlled to extend and reset, and the multiple support plates 5 rotate and move away from each other, and the FDM base plate 3 and the 3D printed product fall downward, pass through the circular hole 12, and fall into the range of the limit ring 30 on the tray 14; Finally, open the box door 21, operate the horizontal push rod 25 to extend, the tray 14 sends out the FDM base plate 3 and the 3D printed product, manually remove the FDM base plate 3 and the 3D print, control the horizontal push rod 25 to shorten and reset, control the motor to reverse, raise and reset the substrate 2, and close the box door 21.
