The cleaning liquid is flushed to the 3D printed part after passing through the cleaning pipe 32 and the nozzle 31. A plurality of nozzles 31 are arranged on each cleaning pipe 32, and the plurality of nozzles 31 collectively clean the 3D printed part to ensure the cleaning effect of the 3D printed part.
[0033] Preferably, the cleaning pipe 32 is provided with two, and the two cleaning pipes 32 are arranged on the two sides of the rotating platform. The cleaning pipe 32 is a straight pipe. In this embodiment, all the nozzles 31 are linearly distributed on the cleaning pipe 32, and the nozzles 31 are all directed to the 3D printed part. The distance between any two adjacent nozzles 31 on the cleaning pipe 32 is the same, that is, the nozzles 31 are uniformly distributed on the cleaning pipe 32. The two cleaning pipes 32 can simultaneously flush the 3D printed part. Since the rotating platform is arranged at the top of the cleaning cavity 11, the two cleaning pipes 32 are arranged below the rotating disc 22 and the 3D printed part, and are arranged on the two sides of the rotating disc 22 and the 3D printed part. At the same time, since the 3D printed part rotates during the cleaning work, the rotating motion of the two cleaning pipes 32 and the rotating disc 22 can quickly and comprehensively flush the 3D printed part, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect of the 3D printed part and more quickly realizing the cleaning work.

For example, the cleaning pipe 32 is connected with a lifting element, and the cleaning pipe 32 is driven to move up and down through the lifting element, and the cleaning pipe 32 moves up and down reciprocatingly on one side of the 3D printed part, so as to wash the 3D printed part from top to bottom, and ensure the cleaning effect. The lifting element can be a gas cylinder, a lead screw or the like. Alternatively, the rotating element is used to make the cleaning pipe 32 rotate by a certain angle, and reciprocate within a certain angle range, so as to change the spraying direction of the nozzle 31, and thus wash the 3D printed part from top to bottom, and ensure the cleaning effect. Of course, the cleaning pipe 32 can also not be connected with an external structure, and all the nozzles 31 on the cleaning pipe 32 are provided with different spraying angles, so as to comprehensively cover the 3D printed part, and ensure the cleaning effect of the 3D printed part.

In the embodiment, the cleaning liquid storage tank 33 is used to store cleaning liquid, and the cleaning liquid is pumped out from the cleaning liquid storage tank 33 and supplied to the cleaning pipe 32 through the water pump 34. Since the water pump 34 applies a certain pressure to the cleaning liquid, the cleaning liquid is sprayed from the nozzle 31 to the 3D printed part under the action of the pressure, and the washing operation is performed. Of course, the cleaning liquid supply part can also be a water pump, or directly connected with a cleaning liquid source, and the cleaning liquid supply part can supply the cleaning pipe 32 with cleaning liquid with a certain pressure.
[0037] Optionally, the cleaning tank 1 is provided with a cleaning liquid recovery bin 12, and a liquid collecting plate 13 is arranged between the cleaning cavity 11 and the cleaning liquid recovery bin 12, and the cleaning liquid recovery bin 12 is in communication with a cleaning liquid storage tank 33. The cleaning liquid sprayed by the nozzle 31 moves downward under the action of gravity after completing the cleaning work of the 3D printed part, drops onto the liquid collecting plate 13, is collected and pooled under the action of the liquid collecting plate 13, and is transferred to the cleaning liquid recovery bin 12. The cleaning liquid in the cleaning liquid recovery bin 12 enters the cleaning liquid storage tank 33 through a pipeline or a communication port, and is then used again, so as to achieve the purpose of recycling the cleaning liquid. Of course, the cleaning liquid needs to be replaced after a certain period of time.
[0038] Further optimization scheme, the cleaning tank 1 is provided with a mounting port, and the cleaning tank 1 is rotatably connected with a tank cover 14 at the mounting port. The tank cover 14 isolates the cleaning cavity 11 from the outside. The tank cover 14 is rotatably connected with the cleaning tank 1 through a hinge. The tank cover 14 and the cleaning tank 1 form an integral whole, so that the cleaning cavity 11 becomes a space relatively isolated from the outside. When the 3D printed part is cleaned in the cleaning cavity 11, the tank cover 14 prevents the cleaning liquid from splashing out.
[0039] Further optimization scheme, the nozzle 31 is connected with a pressure sensor for detecting the pressure of the cleaning liquid sprayed by the nozzle 31. The pressure sensor is electrically connected with a central processing unit. An opening adjusting piece for controlling the flow of the cleaning liquid is arranged between the cleaning liquid supply and the cleaning pipe 32, and the opening adjusting piece is electrically connected with the central processing unit. The pressure of the cleaning liquid sprayed by the nozzle 31 is detected by the pressure sensor, and the detected pressure data is transmitted to the central processing unit in real time. The central processing unit compares the received pressure data with a safe pressure range of the cleaning liquid. The safe pressure range of the cleaning liquid is between the pressure value required to ensure the cleaning effect of the 3D printed part and the critical pressure value at which the cleaning liquid damages the 3D printed part. When the real-time monitored pressure data of the cleaning liquid is less than the safe pressure range of the cleaning liquid, the flow of the cleaning liquid in the cleaning pipe 32 is increased by adjusting the opening adjusting piece, and the pressure of the cleaning liquid sprayed by the nozzle 31 is increased. When the real-time monitored pressure data of the cleaning liquid is in the safe pressure range of the cleaning liquid, no adjustment is needed. When the real-time monitored pressure data of the cleaning liquid is greater than the safe pressure range of the cleaning liquid, the flow of the cleaning liquid in the cleaning pipe 32 is reduced by adjusting the opening adjusting piece, and the pressure of the cleaning liquid sprayed by the nozzle 31 is reduced. The opening adjusting piece in this embodiment can be an electronic control valve, which can control the opening of the valve through electronic information. This embodiment controls the pressure of the cleaning liquid sprayed by the nozzle by real-time monitoring the pressure of the cleaning liquid sprayed by the nozzle and judging whether the pressure data is within the safe pressure range of the cleaning liquid, to prevent the cleaning liquid from damaging the 3D printed part due to excessive pressure, or the cleaning effect from being poor due to insufficient pressure.
[0040] The embodiment also discloses a control display screen and a power switch, the device operation is controlled through the control display screen, such as whether the water pump 34 works, whether the first driving structure works, and information such as working duration, and the whole cleaning machine is controlled to be powered on or not through the power switch.
