[0025] A 3D printer tray that is easy to disassemble and assemble comprises a moving assembly, wherein the moving assembly comprises two groups of symmetrically arranged tracks 1. By arranging the moving assembly, it is convenient to move a placement rack 3 and a tray body 8 for easy disassembly and assembly, and it is also convenient to clean the surface of the tray body 8 and the inside of the 3D printer; two groups of adjustment slides 2 are slidably installed in the track 1, and the adjustment slides 2 are fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the placement rack 3. The moving assembly also comprises two groups of fixed slides 9, and the fixed slides 9 are fixedly installed on the other side of the bottom of the placement rack 3. A limiting block 10 is arranged on one side of the fixed slide 9, and a limiting groove 11 is provided on the inner wall of one side of the track 1. The limiting block 10 and the limiting groove 11 are matched with each other in a sliding clearance. By arranging the limiting block 10 and using it in conjunction with the limiting groove 11, the stability of the placement rack 3 during movement can be improved, and the fixed slide 9 can be prevented from falling off from the track 1.

[0026] It also includes a locking assembly, which includes a movable column 4, which is slidably installed in an inner cavity 5 opened by the adjusting slide 2, and the inner cavity 5 is provided with openings on one side and the top of the adjusting slide 2. A lock tongue 6 is fixedly installed at one end of the movable column 4, and the lock tongue 6 is matched with the sliding clearance of the opening on one side of the inner cavity 5. A locking groove 7 used in conjunction with the lock tongue 6 is opened at one end of the inner side of the track 1; the locking assembly also includes a bevel block 12, which is fixedly connected to the top of the other end of the movable column 4, and the bevel block 12 is matched with the sliding clearance of the top opening of the inner cavity 5. A first spring 13 is slidably sleeved on the surface of the movable column 4, and one end of the first spring 13 abuts against one side of the lock tongue 6, and the other end of the first spring 13 abuts against the inner wall of the inner cavity 5. The locking assembly also includes a pull plate 14, both sides of the pull plate 14 abut against the inclined surface of the inclined plane block 12, and both ends of the pull plate 14 are slidably installed on the slide rod 15, and the slide rod 15 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the placement rack 3 through the mounting plate 16. A second spring 17 is slidably sleeved on the surface of the slide rod 15, and one end of the second spring 17 abuts against one side of the pull plate 14, and the other end of the second spring 17 abuts against one side of the mounting plate 16. A handle 18 is fixedly installed on one side of the pull plate 14. By setting a locking component, when the adjustment slide 2 moves to the specified position, the lock tongue 6 is automatically popped out to lock its position, thereby locking the position of the tray body 8. At the same time, the lock tongue 6 can be retracted by pulling the handle 18 to unlock the position of the adjustment slide 2, so as to facilitate pulling out the tray body 8 for disassembly and assembly.

[0027] It also includes a tray body 8, which is placed on the top of the placement rack 3. Four groups of limit columns 19 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the tray body 8.
