[0049] The driving motor 42 is disposed on the supporting frame 41 . The driving motor 42 is an existing rotating motor and will not be described in detail herein.
[0050] The transmission assembly is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 42 ; the transmission assembly can be a belt transmission structure, a gear transmission structure, etc., as long as it can transmit the power of the drive motor 42 to make the scraper shaft 46 rotate relative to the support frame 41 .
[0051] The scraper shaft 46 is connected to the transmission assembly, and the scraper shaft 46 is rotatably connected to the support frame 41; the scraper shaft 46 is rotatably connected to the support frame 41 through a bearing (that is, the scraper shaft 46 is rotatably connected to the motor transfer movable plate 43 through a bearing to achieve rotation relative to the support frame 41). A motor transfer movable plate 43 is fixed to the support frame, and the drive motor is fixedly connected to the motor transfer movable plate 43 through a screw, and the output shaft of the drive motor passes through the motor transfer movable plate 43 and is fixedly connected to the synchronous pulley 44, and the scraper shaft 46 passes through the motor transfer movable plate 43 and is connected to the synchronous pulley 44.
[0052] The scraper assembly 47 includes two groups of scraper assemblies, both of which are connected to the scraper shaft 46, and are symmetrically distributed along the center of the scraper shaft 46. Both of which are used to spread slurry on the printing platform 21 of the photocuring forming equipment.
[0053] The transmission assembly of this embodiment includes a synchronous belt 45 and a synchronous pulley 44 . There are two synchronous pulleys 44 . The two synchronous pulleys 44 are fixedly connected to the scraper shaft 46 and the output shaft of the driving motor 42 , respectively. The synchronous belt 45 is connected to the two synchronous pulleys 44 .
[0054] Each scraper assembly 47 includes a hand-tightening nut 471, a scraper frame 472, an upper scraper frame 473, a spring 474, a middle scraper frame 475, a lower scraper frame 476, a scraper clamping plate 477 and a blade 478. The scraper frame 472 is fixedly connected to the scraper shaft 46, the upper scraper frame 473 is fixedly connected to the scraper frame 472, the upper scraper frame 473 and the middle scraper frame 475 are matched with the hand-tightening nut 471 and the connecting bolt, the spring 474 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting bolt, the spring 474 is located between the upper scraper frame 473 and the middle scraper frame 475, and the connecting bolt can slide relative to the upper scraper frame 473; the middle scraper frame 475 is adjustably connected to the lower scraper frame 476, and the blade 478 is clamped and fixed to the lower scraper frame 476 by the scraper clamping plate 477.

The scraper frame 472 is provided with four through holes, and is fixedly connected to the scraper upper blade frame 473 by two bolts passing through the two through holes. The scraper upper blade frame 473 is provided with two through holes, and the hand-tightening nut 471 passes through the other two through holes of the scraper frame 472 and the two through holes of the scraper upper blade frame 473 in turn.

The spring 474 can reset the scraper middle blade holder 475 when it slides into the scraper upper blade holder 473. The principle is that the hand nut 471 can slide in the through holes of the scraper holder 472 and the scraper upper blade holder 473. The outer diameter of the end of the hand nut 471 is larger than the inner diameter of the through hole, so that the hand nut 471 cannot pass through the through hole of the scraper holder 472, thereby limiting the hand nut 471 from falling off.
[0055] Ear buckles are provided on the scraper middle blade holder 475 and the scraper lower blade holder 476, and each ear buckle is provided with a connection hole. The two ear buckles are connected to nuts through bolts passing through the two connection holes. Specifically, the angle between the scraper lower blade holder 476 and the scraper middle blade holder 475 is mainly formed by loosening the nut so that the scraper middle blade holder 475 and the scraper lower blade holder 476 can rotate relative to each other through the ear buckles. After adjusting the relative angle, the adjustment can be completed by tightening the nut. Through this setting, it is ensured that the thickness of the slurry is uniform and accurate each time the slurry is laid, so as to achieve efficient and uniform laying of each layer of slurry and ensure the quality and accuracy of the printed part.
[0056] The innovatively designed double-scraper slurry paving structure 4 in the above embodiment adopts a double-scraper assembly 47, which only needs to cooperate with double forming cylinders to perform efficient slurry paving on the printing platform 21, and at the same time, the excess slurry can be recycled during the paving process.
[0057] It solves the problems of slurry waste, low coating efficiency, poor uniformity and so on in the prior art, and significantly reduces production costs by improving the utilization rate of slurry and the working efficiency of equipment. It can meet the requirements of higher production efficiency and play an important role in the high-precision and high-quality printing process.
[0058] Therefore, the double-scraper slurry paving structure 4 is not only of great significance in improving the efficiency and economy of photocuring additive manufacturing technology, but also provides beneficial technical support and innovation direction for the further development of additive manufacturing equipment in the future.
