Description

[0002] In the process of light-curing 3D printing, a high-definition screen on a printing platform displays the geometric shape of a single layer of a printed part, a vat containing liquid photosensitive resin is placed above the printing platform, a build platform is immersed in the vat, and a single layer curing gap is left between the build platform and the printing platform. The light on the screen irradiates into the resin through a transparent release film at the bottom of the vat, so that the resin is cured and adheres to the build platform, and the area not affected by the light beam remains liquid. The build platform on which the single layer curing has been completed is moved upward by a vertical screw, so that the build platform is separated from the printing platform; the liquid resin will quickly fill the space separated in the middle; when the build platform is separated upward to a certain height, the liquid resin fills the gap between the two platforms, the build platform is lowered and kept with the printing platform at the gap required for single curing, which prepares for the printing of the next layer.

For example, the back plate assembly 1 generally comprises a lifting part and a driving part, which can drive the forming assembly 2 to vertically lift; the trough assembly 3 can comprise a trough, which is used for storing resin and other media.

[0047] The forming assembly 2 of the embodiment comprises a shell 201, a platform plate 202, a build plate 203 and four leveling detection assemblies 5, etc. The platform plate 202 is connected with the back plate assembly 1, and the build plate 203 is located on the side of the platform plate 202 facing the trough assembly 3. The four leveling detection assemblies 5 are located between the platform plate 202 and the build plate 203 and are distributed in a rectangular shape. Each leveling detection assembly 5 comprises a mechanical sensor 505 for detecting the pressure on the build plate 203, an adjusting part 501 for adjusting the vertical position of the build plate 203, a support column 504 and a buffer elastic part 503. The adjusting part 501 corresponds to the detection position of the mechanical sensor 505. One end of the support column 504 is connected with the mechanical sensor 505, and the other end of the support column 504 extends upward along the vertical direction. The adjusting part 501 is threadedly connected with the support column 504. The buffer elastic part 503 acts between the support column 504 and the platform plate 202.

In this way, the entire adjusting member 501 can be hidden in the platform plate 202 without protruding, so that the surface of the platform plate 202 is kept flat. Further, the embodiment is provided with a groove 204 on each side of the platform plate 202, two adjusting members 501 are correspondingly arranged in each groove 204, and a detachable decorative plate 205 is arranged at the groove 204, and the detachable decorative plate 205 can be detachably arranged with the groove 204 or the platform plate 202 through a buckle or other structure. After the decorative plate 205 is covered on the groove 204, the surface of the platform plate 202 and the decorative plate 205 form an integral whole, and the adjusting member 501 can be shielded and protected. The anti-loosening elastic member 502 of the embodiment can be a spring, and the anti-loosening elastic member 502 can form a mutual tightening effect with the buffer elastic member 503, so as to effectively prevent the loosening between the build plate 203 and the platform plate 202, and the two can be tightly fixed while having a buffering effect and being capable of being adjusted in the vertical direction.
