Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of printers, in particular to an anti-corrosion resin tank component of a printer. Background Art
[0002] The resin tank of the printer is a container for storing photosensitive resin. The resin tank is an important component in 3D printers. It is mainly used to store photosensitive resin. This resin will undergo a curing reaction when exposed to light of a specific wavelength, thereby forming a 3D printed model. The design and material of the resin tank have a direct impact on the printing process and print quality. For example, some designs take into account the ease of replacing resins of different colors. In terms of materials, some use metal materials to increase durability and reduce the need to replace the entire resin tank, thereby reducing users' consumables expenses.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN219467039U discloses a corrosion-resistant resin tank assembly of a 3D printer, including a resin tank body and a locking bolt. Bosses are provided on both sides of the resin tank body, and through holes for inserting the locking bolts are vertically provided on the bosses. The 3D printer includes a mounting platform, and screw holes corresponding to the locking bolts are provided on the mounting platform. The resin tank body is detachably connected to the mounting platform through the locking bolts. The upper part of the locking bolt is a nut part, which is exposed outside the boss. The cross-sectional size of the nut part is larger than the cross-sectional size of the boss. The nut part covers the upper part of the boss, and the outer layer of the nut part is provided with an anti-corrosion layer.
[0004] However, in the prior art, the resin tank is usually fixed to the printer with bolts. When the 3D printer needs to replace the photosensitive resin or clean the resin tank, the bolts need to be loosened and removed before the resin tank can be removed. Since the bolts are usually installed at both ends of the resin tank in an outward convex manner, the photosensitive resin in the resin tank is easily splashed or dripped onto the bolts. After long-term use, the bolts are easily corroded by the photosensitive resin, making it difficult to remove the bolts from the resin tank. In addition, when printing is completed and the material needs to be extracted, the discharge nozzle automatically descends to start extracting the material. When the height of the resin in the resin tank is lower than the discharge nozzle, the discharge nozzle can no longer continue to extract the material. The staff needs to use a shovel to continuously scrape the resin to the side of the discharge nozzle to continue to complete the extraction, which results in a long extraction process that is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inconvenient to use. In view of the above problems, a corrosion-resistant resin tank assembly for a printer is proposed. Utility Model Content

One end of the top rod 217 is rotatably installed with one end of the placement groove 214, and the other end of the top rod 217 is plugged into the groove 218. The two sides of the vertical plate 216 are slidably installed with the top of the support rod 211. The front side of the assembly plate 21 is fixedly installed with one end of the connecting plate 23, one end of the rotating rod 27 is welded to the outer side of the movable rod 28, and the bottom end of the rotating rod 27 is rotatably installed with the top of the connecting plate 23, the top outer wall of the threaded rod 29 is threadedly connected with the inner wall of the movable rod 28, and the bottom end of the threaded rod 29 is fixedly connected with the plug block 210, and the bottom end of the plug block 210 is plugged into the top of the limiting protrusion 26.
[0024] The specific settings and functions of this embodiment are described in detail below: when the discharge nozzle can no longer continue to draw materials, the threaded rod 29 can be rotated. After the threaded rod 29 drives the plug block 210 to move upward, the rotating rod 27 is rotated to one side, the resin tank 22 is flipped upward, and then the top rod 217 is flipped upward and one end of it is inserted into the groove 218, so that the resin tank 22 is tilted, which is convenient for the discharge nozzle to continue to draw materials. The staff does not need to use a shovel to continuously scrape the resin to the side of the discharge nozzle, thereby shortening the drawing time and facilitating use.
[0025] Embodiment 2: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, protective covers 24 are symmetrically clamped on both sides of the top of the resin tank 22, and the printer mechanism 1 includes a lifting component 12, a printer shell 13 and a printer body 14.

[0026] The effect achieved by the entire embodiment is that when the printer is in use, the protective cover 24 can be inserted on both sides of the top of the resin tank 22, and the protective cover 24 can protect the insertion rod 215, the vertical plate 216 and the support rod 211 to prevent the photosensitive resin in the resin tank 22 from splashing or dripping onto the insertion rod 215, the vertical plate 216 and the support rod 211, thereby preventing them from being corroded by the photosensitive resin. When the photosensitive resin drips onto the protective cover 24, the protective cover 24 can be removed for cleaning after the printer completes printing, which is convenient for cleaning the photosensitive resin dripping onto the protective cover 24.
[0027] The use method and working principle of the device: When the device is in use, the resin tank 22 is placed on the assembly plate 21, and the operator holds the vertical plates 216 at both ends and pushes the two vertical plates 216 to the sides respectively, and the two vertical plates 216 move back to back, thereby driving the two insertion rods 215 to move to the inside of the support rod 211, and at this time, the resin tank 22 is pushed until the two connecting tubes 213 correspond to the positions of the insertion rods 215, and the two vertical plates 216 are released. The insertion rods 215 are automatically inserted into the connecting tubes 213 under the action of the springs 212 inside the support rod 211, thereby limiting the position of the resin tank 22;
[0028] Then rotate the rotating rod 27 until the threaded rod 29 and the plug block 210 are located at the top of the limiting protrusion 26. At this time, rotate the threaded rod 29 to move the threaded rod 29 and the plug block 210 downward until the plug block 210 is inserted into the limiting protrusion 26, thereby fixing the resin tank 22 on the top of the assembly plate 21, thereby completing the installation of the resin tank 22. During the use of the printer, the protective cover 24 can be inserted on both sides of the top of the resin tank 22. The protective cover 24 can protect the plug rod 215, the vertical plate 216 and the support rod 211 to prevent the photosensitive resin in the resin tank 22 from splashing or dripping onto the plug rod 215, the vertical plate 216 and the support rod 211, thereby preventing them from being corroded by the photosensitive resin. When the photosensitive resin drips onto the protective cover 24, the protective cover 24 can be removed for cleaning after the printer completes printing, which is convenient for cleaning the photosensitive resin dripping onto the protective cover 24 and convenient for use.
[0029] At the same time, when the discharge nozzle can no longer continue to draw materials, the threaded rod 29 can be rotated. After the threaded rod 29 drives the plug block 210 to move upward, the rotating rod 27 is rotated to one side, the resin tank 22 is flipped upward, and then the top rod 217 is flipped upward and one end of it is inserted into the groove 218, so that the resin tank 22 is tilted, which is convenient for the discharge nozzle to continue to draw materials. The staff does not need to use a shovel to continuously scrape the resin to the side of the discharge nozzle, which shortens the drawing time and is convenient to use.
[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in other forms. Any technician familiar with the profession may use the technical content disclosed above to change or modify it into an equivalent embodiment with equivalent changes and apply it to other fields.
