[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a hot-melt 3D printer printing platform that is easy to demold, including a base 1, a pallet 2, and a demolding mechanism;
[0027] A plurality of support feet 24 are provided on the lower surface of the base 1 to achieve the elevation and support of the base 1. Guide rods 3 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the upper surface of the base 1. Both ends of the guide rods 3 are respectively connected to the support seats 23, and the support seats 23 are connected to the upper surface of the base 1. The elevation and installation of the guide rods 3 are achieved through the support seats 23. Active rotating rods 4 and driven rotating rods 5 are provided at both ends of the upper surface of the base 1. Both ends of the active rotating rod 4 and the driven rotating rod 5 are connected to the bearing seats 22, and the bearing seats 22 are connected to the upper surface of the base 1. The installation of the active rotating rod 4 and the driven rotating rod 5 is achieved through the bearing seats 22. Linkage belt pulleys 6 are provided at corresponding positions on the active rotating rod 4 and the driven rotating rod 5. The linkage belt pulleys 6 of the active rotating rod 4 and the driven rotating rod 5 are connected by a linkage belt 7. The active rotating rod 4 is also provided with a driven belt pulley 8. A motor slot 9 is opened at one end of the base 1 near the active rotating rod 4. A plurality of cylinder slots 10 are also opened in the base 1. Guide grooves 11 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the cylinder slot 10. A cylinder mounting slide plate 12 is slidably arranged in the cylinder slot 10 and located in the guide groove 11. One end of the cylinder slot 10 extends to the outside of the base 1 to facilitate the insertion of the cylinder mounting slide plate 12 into the cylinder slot 10. The other end of the cylinder slot 10 is provided with an extension slot 26. The extension slots 26 extend to the outside of the base 1 away from the outer ends of the cylinder slot 10. The extension slots 26 are used for the layout of the pipelines of the small cylinders 19. A driving motor 13 is arranged in the motor slot 9. A driving belt pulley 14 is provided on the output shaft of the driving motor 13. The driving belt pulley 14 is connected to the driven belt pulley 8 by a transmission belt 15. Column mounting slots 25 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the upper surface of the base 1 to achieve the installation of the 3D printer columns;
[0028] Guide blocks 16 are provided on both sides of the lower surface of the pallet 2. The guide blocks 16 are in guiding cooperation with the guide rods 3. Through holes 17 are evenly arranged in an array on the pallet 2. The upper part of the linkage belt 7 is connected to the lower surface of the pallet 2 through a connecting member 18;
[0029] The demoulding mechanism includes a small cylinder 19, a top plate 20 and ejector pins 21. There are several small cylinders 19 which are respectively arranged on the upper surface of the cylinder mounting slide plate 12. The lower surface of the top plate 20 is connected to the piston rods of the respective small cylinders 19. The ejector pins 21 are uniformly arranged in an array on the upper surface of the top plate 20. The ejector pins 21 correspond to the through holes 17 one by one. The ejector pins 21 are movably arranged in the corresponding through holes 17. The upper surface of the ejector pin 21 is a flat surface to ensure that when printing, the upper surface of the ejector pin 21 is flush with the upper surface of the pallet 2, so as to ensure the flatness of the bottom of the printed object. The distance between two adjacent columns of ejector pins 21 is greater than the width of the linkage belt 7. The linkage belt 7 is threaded between two adjacent columns of the corresponding ejector pins 21 to ensure that the ejector pins 21 do not affect the arrangement of the linkage belt 7.
[0030] Installation method and use principle: First, install the small cylinder 19 on the upper surface of the cylinder installation slide 12, then insert the cylinder installation slide 12 into the cylinder groove 10 and slide both sides into the guide groove 11, install the drive motor 13 in the motor groove 9 of the base 1, and then connect the top plate 20 with the piston rods of each small cylinder 19 through screws. The top plate 20 is evenly provided with top columns 21 on the upper surface. Connect one end of the transmission toothed belt 15 to the active toothed belt wheel 14, then put the transmission toothed belt 15 and the linkage toothed belt 7 on the active rotating rod 4 respectively, and put the other end of the linkage toothed belt 7 on the driven rotating rod 5. Connect the upper part of the linkage toothed belt 7 to the lower surface of the pallet 2 through the connecting piece 18 and the screw, and then match the guide blocks 16 at both ends of the lower surface of the pallet 2 with the guide rod 3, then connect the two ends of the active rotating rod 4 and the driven rotating rod 5 to the base 1 through the bearing seat 22, and connect the two ends of the guide rod 3 to the base 1 through the connecting seat. At this time, the top column 21 corresponds to the through hole 17 of the pallet 2 and plugs into each other. At the same time, connect the two ends of the transmission belt wheel with the linkage toothed belt wheel 6, and connect the two ends of the transmission toothed belt 15 with the active toothed belt wheel 14 and the driven toothed belt wheel 8 respectively, and complete the installation of the base 1. When in use, the active rotating rod 4 is driven to rotate through the cooperation of the driving motor 13, the active toothed belt wheel 14, the transmission toothed belt 15 and the driven toothed belt wheel 8, and the active rotating rod 4 drives the linkage toothed belt 7 to rotate, so that the linkage toothed belt 7 drives the pallet 2 to move along the guide rod 3. At this time, through the cooperation of the top column 21 and the pallet 2, the cylinder mounting slide plate 12 slides along the cylinder groove 10. During printing, the upper surface of the top column 21 is made flush with the upper surface of the support plate 2 through the small cylinder 19. When printing is completed, the piston rod of the small cylinder 19 pushes outward, thereby lifting the printed object through the top column 21, so that the bottom of the object is separated from the support plate 2, and then the piston rod of the small cylinder 19 is retracted to separate the object from the upper surface of the top column 21, thereby facilitating the separation of the object. The present invention has a reasonable structure. The support plate 2 is evenly provided with through holes 17 in an array. A cylinder mounting slide plate 12 is slidably arranged in the cylinder groove 10 of the base 1. A plurality of small cylinders 19 are arranged on the upper surface of the cylinder mounting slide plate 12. The piston rods of the small cylinders 19 are all connected to the top plate 20. Top columns 21 are evenly arranged on the upper surface of the top plate 20 in an array. The top columns 21 correspond to the through holes 17 of the support plate 2 one by one and are plugged into each other. When in use, the upper surface of the top column 21 is flush with the upper surface of the support plate 2, which does not affect the flatness of the bottom of the printed object, and also does not affect the movement of the support plate 2. When demolding, the bottom of the printed object is separated from the support plate 2 and the top column 21 in turn by the pushing and recovery of the small cylinder 19, thereby facilitating the demolding of the printed object. In addition, compared with manual demolding, the object is not easily damaged.
