[0020] The technical solution of the present utility model will be described clearly and completely in the following in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the form of embodiments.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The present embodiment proposes a 3D printer with a protective function, including a plate body 1, which is the bottom plate of a 3D printer in the prior art and is mainly used for the horizontal placement function of the 3D printer. The print head 4 is the main component used for making three-dimensional components in the prior art, and the production commands are all executed through computer coding. The fixed columns 2 are arranged on both sides of the plate body 1, which are used to fix the print head 4 while maintaining the stability of the print head 4 on the plate body 1. The telescopic shaft 3 is used to adjust the height of the print head 4 on the plate body 1, which is an automatic telescopic component, and the height is adjusted through computer coding, so that the print head 4 can adjust the current height according to the code, thereby completing the construction of the three-dimensional component. The limit plate is arranged at the bottom of the print head 4, which is a connecting component between the print head 4 and the telescopic shaft 3, and has a telescopic adjustment function. It can be stacked by multiple plates of different specifications and then connected by fixing nails.

[0022] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 A storage plate 12 for placing the printing assembly is provided on the board body 1. The storage plate 12 is used for the print head 4 to perform three-dimensional printing, and the surface of the storage plate 12 is coated with an anti-stick coating to prevent the printing material from sticking to the storage plate 12. Both ends of the storage plate 12 are fixedly connected to the board body 1 by fasteners. The fasteners are auxiliary components and facilitate the later disassembly of the storage plate 12.

[0023] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 The board body 1 is symmetrically provided with side panels 8 for protecting the printing components. The side panels 8 are used to protect the two sides of the storage plate 12 to prevent external forces from causing damage to the components being printed. The board body 1 is provided with a plurality of adjustment columns 5 for adjusting the height of the side panels 8. The adjustment columns 5 are used to follow the adjustment of the limit plates and extend the height in sequence. The side panels 8 are fixedly connected to the adjustment columns 5 through telescopic joints. The telescopic joints are prior art, which are composed of multiple telescopic components and are fixed inside the side panels 8. The side panels 8 are provided with buffer plates 9 for reducing impact. The buffer plates 9 are made of rubber material and can effectively alleviate external impact.

[0024] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3, a plurality of first compression springs 6 for absorbing impact are provided on the side plate 8. The first compression spring 6 is used to relieve the impact and can convert the received impact into rebound force, thereby playing the effect of offsetting the impact, thereby improving the protection efficiency of the printer components. At the same time, the first compression spring 6 and the side plate 8 are arranged on both sides of the plate body 1. Later maintenance only requires simple wiping, which not only reduces the workload of workers for maintenance, but also improves the efficiency of later maintenance. The first compression spring 6 is linearly arranged on the plate body 1, and a plurality of buffer bodies 7 for transmitting impact are provided on the adjusting column 5. The buffer body 7 is used to receive the impact on the side plate 8 and transmit the impact to the first compression spring 6. Part of the impact can be dissipated during the transmission. The buffer body 7 is offset against the first compression spring 6 through the auxiliary plate. The auxiliary plate is arranged between the first compression spring 6 and the buffer body 7, and the auxiliary plate is fixedly connected to the adjusting column 5.

[0025] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 A connecting rod 10 for closing the printing component area is provided on the side panel 8. The connecting rod 10 is used to close the two side panels 8 and limit the three-dimensional components in the storage plate 12. Both ends of the connecting rod 10 are fixedly connected to the adjustment column 5 by fasteners. The fasteners are auxiliary components. A locking strip 11 for disassembly is provided on the connecting rod 10. The locking strip 11 is a locking component that can be manually disassembled in the prior art.

[0026] In particular, the print head 4 is provided with a second compression spring 14 for improving the longitudinal adjustment effect. The second compression spring 14 is used to improve the extension efficiency of the print head 4. Auxiliary bodies 13 are symmetrically provided on the limit plate. The auxiliary bodies 13 are fixed on the limit plate, and the auxiliary bodies 13 are fixedly connected to the adjustment column 5 through an auxiliary tube. The auxiliary tube is a connecting component. The second compression spring 14 is against the inner wall of the print head 4, so that the limit plate can adjust the height while driving the height adjustment of the adjustment column 5, thereby improving the synchronization between the limit plate and the adjustment column 5 and reducing the workers' need to adjust the height of the adjustment column 5 multiple times according to the specifications of the printing components.

[0027] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: the print head 4 will adjust its height after receiving the computer code. When the telescopic shaft 3 drives the limit plate to adjust upward, the adjustment columns 5 on both sides of the plate body 1 are stretched upward through the two auxiliary bodies 13, so that the side plates 8 on the adjustment columns 5 are lifted until the print head 4 reaches the highest zero limit point and stops.

[0028] The above describes in detail the implementation modes of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above implementation modes. Various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the field without departing from the purpose of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
