Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of printing equipment, and in particular relates to a slag removal structure in a printing area. Background Art
[0002] A 3D printer, also known as a three-dimensional printer (3DP), is a machine based on additive manufacturing technology (i.e., rapid prototyping technology). It uses digital model files as its foundation and uses adhesive materials such as special wax, powdered metal, or plastic to construct three-dimensional objects through layer-by-layer printing. The prior art discloses a slag removal structure for the printing area of a 3D printer, application number 202321930942.0. To address the problem that all metal 3D printers on the market currently lack this dust removal system, the main dust removal method is to use the wind field in the printing chamber to blow away the waste residue generated by the laser melting area. However, a small amount of waste residue is not blown away, resulting in the accumulation of waste residue in each layer of the laser melting area. As the printing process continues, the porosity of the part increases. Leading to a decline in the quality of parts. In addition, the wind field will also bring the splashing residue to one side of the cabin and accumulate in large quantities. This method has low dust removal efficiency and low printing quality. By using a fixed plate, the device can be connected and installed with the printer, and the use of an adjustment component can improve the versatility of the device. Secondly, by using a residue suction component, the waste residue on the surface of the printer can be cleaned, which is convenient for operators to use. Although the printer can be cleaned, the residue cleaning effect only by adsorption is not good. If the residue is tightly adhered, the adsorption effect is poor and the cleaning is not in place. Therefore, the inventor proposed a residue removal structure for the printing area. Utility Model Content

The connecting rod 9 is a C-shaped structure, and the other end is fixedly connected to a moving block 7. The moving block 7 is installed on one side of the top plate 1; a guide groove 8 is horizontally provided on the side wall of the top plate 1, and the guide groove 8 is slidably adapted to the moving block 7. A driving screw 15 is horizontally rotatably installed inside the guide groove 8. A threaded hole is provided through the moving block 7, and the driving screw 15 is threadedly connected to the moving block 7. A first motor 6 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the top plate 1, and the first motor 6 is fixedly connected to the driving screw 15. A second motor 10 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connecting rod 9, and the output shaft of the second motor 10 is connected to the cleaning wheel 5. The second motor 10 drives the cleaning wheel 5 to rotate. The first motor 6 is started, driving the driving screw 15 to rotate, and the moving block 7 threadedly connected to the driving screw 15 is forced to move along the guide groove 8, and then the cleaning wheel 5 is forced to slide along the bottom end surface of the top plate 1. The second motor 10 is started, driving the cleaning wheel 5 to rotate. The cleaning wheel 5 has a self-rotation force. The continuous movement of the cleaning wheel 5 on the surface of the printer removes the tightly adhered waste residue, so that the adsorption effect is improved.
[0025] Reference Figure 3 The lifting mechanism 3 includes a lifting rod 11, a fixed column 13, and a mounting plate 14. One end of the lifting rod 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the top plate 1, and the other end is slidably connected to the fixed column 13. The mounting plate 14 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the fixed column 13. The interior of the fixed column 13 is a hollow structure. The lifting rod 11 slides along the upper surface of the fixed column 13 toward the interior of the fixed column 13. A telescopic cylinder 12 is vertically installed inside the fixed column 13, and the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to the lifting rod 11.
[0026] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 4 The top plate 1 is provided with a dust suction port 16, and the vacuum cleaner 2 corresponds to the dust suction port 16. The mounting plate 14 is mounted on the side wall of the printer. The telescopic cylinder 12 is then retracted, driving the lifting rod 11 to retract into the interior of the fixed column 13. The top plate 1 is forced toward the upper surface of the printer, and the vacuum cleaner 2 is then started.
[0027] Working principle: When in use, first install the mounting plate 14 to the side wall of the printer, then the telescopic cylinder 12 contracts, driving the lifting rod 11 to retract toward the inside of the fixed column 13, and the top plate 1 is forced to move toward the upper surface of the printer. Then the vacuum cleaner 2 is started, so that the suction port 16 of the top plate 1 has an adsorption force, and the cleaning wheel 5 is lowered to fit the upper surface of the printer. The first motor 6 is started, driving the drive screw 15 to rotate, and the moving block 7 threadedly connected to the drive screw 15 is forced to move along the guide groove 8, and then the cleaning wheel 5 is forced to slide along the bottom end surface of the top plate 1, and the second motor 10 is started, driving the cleaning wheel 5 Rotation, the cleaning wheel 5 has a self-rotating force, and the vacuum cleaner 2 absorbs the waste residue on the surface of the printer. At the same time, the cleaning wheel 5 is continuously moved on the surface of the printer to remove the tightly adhered waste residue, so that the adsorption effect is improved. The vacuum cleaner 2 is a prior art that is only used to absorb dust. Thanks to the setting of the lifting rod 11 and the fixed column 13, when performing the slag removal operation, the telescopic cylinder 12 is a storage setting and will not come into contact with the dust, which has a higher protection effect on the drive structure. After cleaning is completed, the telescopic cylinder 12 extends to drive the top plate 1 to move upward, and then the cleaning wheel 5 and the vacuum cleaner 2 are away from the printer to complete the slag removal operation.
