Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of 3D printing, in particular to a 3D printing fixture. Background Art

[0002] Fixtures are manufacturing aids used to improve the reliability, accuracy and quality of the manufacturing process while minimizing production cycles and improving worker safety. Fundamentally, their purpose is to provide accurate, repeatable and interchangeable manufacturing processes while reducing time and human error. In the production process, fixtures are widely used, but traditionally manufactured fixtures have the difficulties of long manufacturing cycles and high costs.

[0003] Taking marking fixtures as an example, traditionally manufactured marking fixtures require corresponding products. Different products require different molds to manufacture fixtures. Such fixtures have a long production cycle and high costs. Therefore, a 3D printed fixture is proposed, which is printed using 3D technology, which can effectively reduce costs and shorten the manufacturing cycle. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a 3D printing fixture, which can effectively solve the problems of long manufacturing cycle and high cost of traditional manufacturing fixtures in the background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a 3D printing fixture, comprising a connecting shell, clamping shells are movably installed on both sides of the connecting shell, the number of the clamping shells is two, a vertical rod is movably installed in the connecting shell on the opposite side of the two clamping shells, and a transfer shell is clamped and installed on the top of the connecting shell; The top of the connecting shell is fixedly installed with an adapter frame, and the top two sides of the adapter frame are respectively clamped and installed with adapter shells. The connecting shell and the adapter frame, the adapter shell and the clamping shell fixedly mounted on the connecting shell are all designed using 3D printing technology.

[0006] Preferably, through first reserved holes are respectively opened on both sides of the connecting shell, a first threaded bushing is embedded and installed in the first reserved hole, and a first fastening screw is installed in the inner thread of the first threaded bushing.

[0007] When the above technical solution is adopted, the through-type first reserved hole and the first threaded bushing allow for quick adjustment and fixation of the first fastening screw, which enables the fixture to be quickly adjusted according to different product sizes, thereby improving the adaptability and work efficiency of the tooling fixture.

[0008] The use of the first fastening screw provides a stable fixing mechanism to ensure that the clamping housing will not loosen during operation, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the processing.

[0009] The threaded bushing and clamping screw design allows for simple maintenance and replacement, helping to reduce long-term operating costs.

[0010] Preferably, a third reserved hole is opened on one side of the clamping shell, an internal threaded bearing is embedded and installed in the third reserved hole, the installation position of the internal threaded bearing matches the installation position of the first threaded bushing, and a second arc-shaped groove is opened on the other side of the clamping shell.

[0011] When the above technical solution is adopted, the cooperation of the third reserved hole and the internal threaded bearing provides a precise positioning mechanism, ensuring that the clamping shell can be accurately fixed at the required position.

[0012] Preferably, the first fastening screw passes through the first threaded bushing and is threadedly connected to the inner side of the internal threaded bearing, and a hexagonal nut is provided at one end of the first fastening screw connected to the outer side of the shell.

[0013] When the above technical solution is adopted, the design that the first fastening screw passes through the first threaded bushing and is connected to the internal threaded bearing makes the entire structure more compact and improves the installation efficiency.

[0014] The design of the hexagonal nut makes tightening and loosening the screw simple and quick, improving operating efficiency.

[0015] Preferably, the inner diameter of the second arc-shaped groove matches the outer diameter of the vertical rod, and the top of the vertical rod contacts the top of the inner wall of the connecting shell but is not fixedly connected.

[0016] When the above technical solution is adopted, the design of the second arc-shaped groove allows the clamping shell to be designed and used for vertical poles of different shapes and sizes, thereby increasing the stability of the clamp when in use.

[0017] The contact design between the upright pole and the inner wall of the connecting shell reduces the wear and tear that may be caused by the fixed connection and prolongs the service life of the components.

[0018] Preferably, a second reserved hole is opened on one side of the adapter shell, a first arc-shaped groove is opened on the top of the other side of the adapter shell, the inner diameter of the first arc-shaped groove matches the outer diameter of the bottom of the adapter frame, and a mounting hole is opened on the front of the adapter shell.

[0019] When the above technical solution is adopted, the design of the second reserved hole and the second threaded bushing allows the adapter housing to be quickly disassembled and installed, which is convenient for modular production and maintenance.

[0021] Preferably, a second threaded bushing is embedded and installed in the second reserved hole, a second fastening screw is installed in the inner thread of the second threaded bushing, and the two second adapter shells are fixedly installed by the second fastening screw.

[0022] When the above technical solution is adopted, the use of the second fastening screw allows the two adapter shells to be quickly assembled and fixed, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0023] The adapter housing fixedly mounted by the second fastening screw provides a stronger structural strength, ensuring stability under high load conditions.

[0024] Preferably, the top diameter of the adapter frame contacts but is not fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two adapter shells.

[0025] When the above technical solution is adopted, the non-fixed connection design between the adapter frame and the adapter housing provides the necessary flexibility while maintaining the stability of the structure, which is crucial for accurate marking.

[0026] This design allows the position of the adapter to be quickly adjusted to accommodate different marking devices and products without disassembling the entire fixture.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: In the present invention, the connecting shell, the adapter frame, the adapter shell and the clamping shell are all manufactured using 3D printing technology, which enables the tooling fixture to be precisely customized according to the needs of a specific product to achieve maximum product adaptation. 3D printing technology allows a rapid transition from design to physical object, greatly shortens the time from concept to finished product, and accelerates the product development process. 3D printing reduces mold costs and material waste in traditional manufacturing, reduces overall manufacturing costs, and makes small batches or single-piece customized tooling fixtures more economical. 3D printing technology provides greater design flexibility, allowing complex internal structures and fine geometric shapes, which may be difficult to achieve or costly in traditional manufacturing technology. Since it can be printed according to order requirements, 3D printing reduces the need for large inventories required in traditional manufacturing, reducing inventory costs and excess risks. 3D printing technology is generally more environmentally friendly than traditional manufacturing methods because it reduces material waste and energy consumption. The flexibility of 3D printing enables manufacturers to respond quickly to market changes and quickly adjust product designs to meet customer needs. 3D printing technology reduces the multi-step processing flow in traditional manufacturing, simplifies the production process, and improves production efficiency. The high degree of automation in the 3D printing process reduces manual intervention and the possibility of human error. 3D printing can provide more consistent product quality because the printing process is highly controllable, reducing quality fluctuations caused by operational differences in traditional manufacturing.

[0028] At the same time, the through-type first reserved hole and the first threaded bushing in the fixture design allow for quick adjustment and installation of the first fastening screw, so that the fixture can be quickly fine-tuned according to the size of the vertical pole with little difference, improving the adaptability and work efficiency of the fixture. The use of the first fastening screw provides a stable fixing mechanism to ensure that the clamping shell will not loosen during operation, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the use process. The coordinated use of the third reserved hole and the internal threaded bearing provides a precise positioning mechanism to ensure that the clamping shell can be accurately fixed in the required position. The design that the first fastening screw passes through the first threaded bushing and is connected to the internal threaded bearing makes the entire structure more compact and improves the efficiency of installation. The design of the second arc-shaped groove allows the clamping shell to be designed and used for vertical poles of different shapes and sizes, increasing the stability of the fixture when in use. The design of the second reserved hole and the second threaded bushing allows the adapter shell to be quickly disassembled and installed, which is convenient for modular production and maintenance. The adapter shell fixedly installed by the second fastening screw provides stronger structural strength and ensures stability under high load conditions. The non-fixed connection design between the adapter bracket and the adapter housing provides the necessary flexibility while maintaining the stability of the structure, which is critical for accurate marking.

[0029] In summary, the present invention, by comprehensively adopting 3D printing technology, not only provides great flexibility and efficiency in design and manufacturing, but also shows obvious advantages in cost control and environmental impact, effectively solving the problems of long manufacturing cycle and high cost of traditional manufacturing tooling and fixtures.
