[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention proposes a 3D printing equipment leveling device, comprising a base 1, a counterweight 5, a connecting plate 6, a support shell and a limit assembly;

[0030] The limiting component is installed at the bottom end of the base 1 and there is a gap between the top end and the inner wall of the base 1;

[0031] The support shell is installed on the inner side of the base 1 and is located in the gap between the limiting assembly and the base 1, and the top end extends to the top of the base 1;

[0032] There are multiple counterweight blocks 5, and the multiple counterweight blocks 5 are arranged at equal angles around the center of the support shell, and the multiple counterweight blocks 5 are arranged with the same distance from the center of the support shell;

[0033] The connecting plate 6 covers the top of the supporting shell, and its edge overlaps with the edge of the supporting shell. It should be noted that the bottom end of the connecting plate 6 is provided with a protrusion extending toward the inside of the spherical groove of the shell 3. When the shell 3 and the connecting plate 6 are in a state of being mounted together, the protrusion of the connecting plate 6 is accommodated in the shell 3 so that there is a large translation resistance between the connecting plate 6 and the shell 3 during use, and the connecting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the shell 3 through a structure such as the above or is directly placed for use;

[0034] In this embodiment, the connecting plate 6 is separated from the supporting shell, so that the supporting shell rotates on the inner side of the base 1 through the gravity brought by the counterweight block 5, so that the multiple counterweight blocks 5 drive the supporting shell to be placed horizontally, and the supporting shell is squeezed on the inner side of the supporting shell through the limiting component, so that the supporting shell is connected to the base 1 through the limiting component and fixed on the inner side of the base 1, and the connecting plate 6 is covered on the top of the supporting shell, so that the equipment is installed and fixed, and the horizontal adjustment is more convenient, quick, and more accurate.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] like Figure 1As shown, the present invention proposes a leveling device for 3D printing equipment. Compared with the first embodiment, in this embodiment, the bottom end of the base 1 is extended outward in parallel with a convex ring 7, and the edge of the convex ring 7 is provided with a plurality of adjustment feet 2 arranged at equal distances and angles around the center of the base 1.

[0037] In this embodiment, the base 1 is adjusted horizontally at a large angle by adjusting the cooperation between the foot 2 and the convex ring 7, thereby reducing the rotation angle of the support shell in the base 1 and improving the horizontal adjustment efficiency.

[0038] Example 3

[0039] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention proposes a leveling device for 3D printing equipment. Compared with the first embodiment, in this embodiment, the support shell includes a shell 3 and a mounting plate 4;

[0040] The housing 3 is slidably mounted on the inner side of the base 1, and one end thereof extends above the base 1;

[0041] The mounting plate 4 is mounted on one end of the housing 3 and is located above the base 1 .

[0042] In this embodiment, by installing a mounting plate 4 on the top of the shell 3, the mounting plate 4 increases the range of the shell 3, thereby avoiding obstruction between the counterweight 5 and the base 1 when the shell 3 rotates inside the base 1 after the counterweight 5 is installed.

[0043] Example 4

[0044] like Figure 2-3 As shown, the present invention proposes a leveling device for 3D printing equipment. Compared with the first embodiment, in this embodiment, the limiting assembly includes a limiting shell 8, a first threaded tube 9 and a first bolt 10;

[0045] The limiting shell 8 is installed on the inner side of the base 1; it should be noted that the other end of the shell 3 has an opening, and a second threaded tube 12 is provided in the middle of the bottom end of the limiting shell 8. A third threaded tube 13 coaxial with the second threaded tube 12 is provided at the inner bottom end of the base 1 and located inside the opening of the shell 3. A second bolt 11 is inserted into the inner side of the second threaded tube 12 and the third threaded tube 13, which is used to detachably install the limiting shell 8 on the inner side of the base 1 when in use.

[0046] There are multiple first threaded tubes 9, and the multiple first threaded tubes 9 are installed at equal angles on the inner side of the limiting shell 8 and close to the top end;

[0047] The first bolt 10 is inserted into the inner side of the first threaded tube 9 and connected to the housing 3 .

[0048] In this embodiment, the limiting shell 8 is fixed to the inner side of the base 1 by the cooperation of the base 1, the second threaded tube 12, and the third threaded tube 13, and a gap is formed between the limiting shell 8 and the base 1, and the shell 3 is installed in the gap so that the position of the shell 3 is adjusted in the gap. After the adjustment, the first bolt 10 is moved toward the shell 3 in the first threaded tube 9 so that the first bolt 10 contacts the shell 3 and cooperates with the first threaded tube 9 to fix the shell 3 to the inner side of the base 1.

[0049] Example 5

[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, the present invention proposes a leveling device for 3D printing equipment. Compared with Example 1, in this embodiment, the top of the base 1 and the inner sides of the shell 3 and the limiting shell 8 are provided with spherical grooves, and the inner and outer side walls of the shell 3 and the limiting shell 8 are spherical. When the base 1, the shell 3, and the limiting shell 8 are installed in coordination, the shell 3 is accommodated on the inner side of the base 1, and the limiting shell 8 is accommodated on the inner side of the spherical groove of the shell 3.

[0051] In this embodiment, through the shapes of the shell 3 and the limiting shell 8 and the spherical groove of the base 1, the center positions of the spherical grooves of the base 1, the shell 3 and the limiting shell 8 are overlapped, and the size of the limiting shell 8 is smaller than the inner size of the shell 3, so that the limiting shell 8 limits the shell 3 to the inner side of the base 1, and the inner and outer sides of the shell 3 are respectively fitted and connected with the limiting shell 8 and the inner side of the base 1, so that the shell 3 can slide between the base 1 and the limiting shell 8, and the position of the shell 3 is adjusted according to gravity.

[0052] To sum up, when the present invention is in use, the limiting shell 8 is fixed to the inner side of the base 1 through the cooperation of the base 1, the second threaded tube 12, and the third threaded tube 13, and a gap is formed between the limiting shell 8 and the base 1, and the shell 3 is installed in the gap, and the shell 3 is gravity-adjusted by a plurality of counterweights 5 installed on the mounting plate 4, so that the counterweights 5 drive the shell 3 to rotate on the inner side of the base 1 and the outer side of the limiting shell 8, so that the top of the shell 3 is adjusted to a horizontal state by the gravity of the plurality of counterweights 5, and the first bolt 10 is moved toward the shell 3 in the first threaded tube 9, so that the first bolt 10 contacts the shell 3, and at the same time, the limiting shell 8 limits the position of the first threaded tube 9, so that the cooperation of the first bolt 10 and the first threaded tube 9 squeezes the shell 3, fixing the shell 3 to the inner side of the base 1, and at the same time, the large angle horizontal adjustment of the base 1 is carried out by the cooperation of the adjusting foot 2 and the convex ring 7, the angle of the base 1 is adjusted, the rotation angle of the shell 3 is reduced, and the connecting plate 6 is engaged and connected to the top of the shell 3.

[0053] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of those skilled in the art without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
