[0002] Aquascaping refers to the use of artificial means to combine aquatic plants, fish and other aquatic animals to create aquatic landscapes with natural beauty. 3D printing equipment is widely used in aquascaping. It can be used to print models of aquatic plants, fish and other aquatic animals, and can also be used to build waterscape bridges, water flow devices, etc.

[0003] A Chinese patent with authorization announcement number CN219523063U discloses an automated 3D printing device, which has a driving mechanism on each storage box. By controlling different driving mechanisms in sequence, materials in different storage boxes can be driven into the nozzle in sequence, so that different materials can be extruded. At the same time, the printing platform is a rotating printing platform. During printing, as the rotating printing platform rotates, the nozzle can print a smooth curve on the printing platform.

[0004] However, when the above-mentioned printing device needs to take out the material after printing, since the printing platform is located below the nozzle, it is easy to accidentally operate during the material taking process, causing the hand to come into contact with the nozzle or the high-temperature printing material, resulting in certain operational risks.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the printing assembly includes a hot melt wire guide box 5 and a print head 6. The hot melt wire guide box 5 is slidably arranged on the Z guide rail 4, a feed port 7 is arranged on the top, and a print head 6 is arranged on the bottom.

[0030] Among them, a feeding shaft is rotatably arranged on the back of the frame 1, and a baffle is arranged on the feeding shaft. The resin coil is wound onto the feed shaft, and then one end of the coil is introduced into the hot melt wire guide box 5 through the feed port 7. The hot melt wire guide box 5 heats and melts the raw material and outputs it through the print head 6.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the storage assembly includes a T-shaped plate 8, a limiting pressure piece, a rotating shaft 9 and a printing platform 10. Both ends of the horizontal section of the T-shaped plate 8 are provided with limiting pressure pieces, and a rotating shaft 9 is rotatably passed through the vertical section. The top end of the rotating shaft 9 is connected to the printing platform 10 facing the print head 6.

Then, materials such as photosensitive resin, rigid resin, epoxy resin, etc. that have no effect on water quality are introduced into the hot melt guide wire box 5, and the required hard skeleton is printed through the print head 6. During the printing process, the gear a19 is driven to rotate by rotating the motor 18. The gear a19 is meshed with the gear b20, and the meshing force drives the printing platform 10 to rotate through the rotating shaft 9. During the rotation process, the print head 6 can print a smooth curve on the printing platform 10. After the printing is completed, the handle 15 is manually rotated, and the handle 15 drives the strip plate a16 to rotate through the vertical shaft 14. During the rotation process, the T-shaped plate 8 is pulled by the strip plate b17 to drive the printing platform 10 to move under the limit of the limit column 11. During the movement, the printing platform 10 and the print head 6 are relatively dislocated, so that the printed object can be taken out, and then the rotation force applied to the handle 15 is released, and the T-shaped plate 8 and the printing platform 10 are driven to reset under the action of the restoring force of the compression spring 12. The operation is relatively safe and simple.

[0039] The implementation modes of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
