Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field, specifically to a 3D printing drying device. Background Technology
[0002] Drying is usually done before printing. During the 3D printing process, many printing materials easily absorb moisture from the air. If these damp materials are used directly for printing, it may lead to a decrease in print quality or even printing failure. In order to ensure print quality and the stability of the printing process, it is usually necessary to dry the consumables before printing.
[0003] For example, the Chinese authorized patent CN217005165U (A Dryer for 3D Printing Pigment Production) includes a base, a drying chamber fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base, a circulation groove on the front of the base, and conduits fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the drying chamber. A dehumidifier is snapped onto the lower surface of the inner wall of the circulation groove, and connecting pipes are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the dehumidifier. This dryer for 3D printing pigment production, by setting a lead screw, lead screw nut, fixing plate, guide groove, rotating plate, slider, clamping rod, clamping groove, stop block, and mounting groove, not only ensures the installation stability of the dehumidifier, but also allows for quick disassembly and assembly by turning the handle when the dehumidifier needs to be removed for maintenance. This saves the labor intensity of maintenance personnel and effectively reduces disassembly and assembly time, thereby effectively shortening the maintenance time of the dehumidifier, ensuring the continuous operation of the device, and improving work efficiency.
[0004] However, in existing 3D printing materials, the drying process involves placing the materials on a drying plate. When unloading the materials, the drying plate is horizontal, requiring the 3D printing materials to be handled horizontally. Since the drying plate is inside the drying chamber, horizontal handling is inconvenient, and personnel are prone to burns from contact with the inner wall of the drying chamber. Therefore, this does not meet the current requirements. To address this, we have proposed a 3D printing drying device. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a 3D printing drying device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, where existing 3D printing materials are placed on a drying plate during drying, and the drying plate is horizontal when unloading the material. This requires the 3D printing material to be picked up horizontally, which is inconvenient because the drying plate is inside the drying chamber, and personnel are also prone to burns from contact with the inner wall of the drying chamber.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a 3D printing drying device, comprising: a drying chamber body, heating mechanisms provided on both sides of the drying chamber body, a control mechanism provided at the top of the drying chamber body, a drying chamber provided inside the drying chamber body, a door provided at the opening of the drying chamber, placement components provided inside the drying chamber, and multiple placement components arranged in an equidistant array, with moving grooves provided on both inner walls near the opening of the drying chamber, a sliding groove provided at one end of the moving groove, and the placement components adjusting their angle along the moving groove and the sliding groove.
[0007] Preferably, the placement assembly includes a drying plate and an adjustment part. The drying plate has a rotating shaft at both ends near the arc edge. The inner walls of the drying chamber near the innermost side are provided with rotating grooves, and the rotating shafts are inserted into the rotating grooves and rotatably connected to the rotating grooves. The upper surface of the drying plate is provided with a through-hole.
[0008] Preferably, the front surface of the drying plate is provided with a connecting groove, and the adjustment part is located in the connecting groove. Limiting grooves are provided on the lower surfaces of both ends of the connecting groove.
[0009] Preferably, the adjusting part includes an adjusting column and a limiting base plate, wherein the limiting base plate moves along the limiting groove and the adjusting column moves along the connecting groove.
[0010] Preferably, the two ends of the adjusting column are inserted into the moving groove, and the two ends of the adjusting column move along the moving groove and the sliding groove. The shape of the sliding groove is an arc shape that is equidistantly enlarged from the rotating groove.
[0011] Preferably, a push-pull column is provided on the front surface at the center of the adjusting column, and the push-pull column is welded and fixed to the adjusting column.
[0012] Preferably, hot air inlets are provided on both inner surfaces of the drying chamber, and the hot air inlets are interconnected with the interior of the heating mechanism. A vent is provided on one side surface of the heating mechanism, and there are several vents and hot air inlets.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] (1) This utility model sets a connecting groove on the front surface of the drying plate, and sets a moving groove and a sliding groove on both sides of the inner wall of the drying chamber near the opening. After drying, the door is opened, and then the push-pull column is pulled to drive the adjusting column to move along the connecting groove. The two ends of the adjusting column move along the moving groove. When it moves to the sliding groove, it moves along the sliding groove. Since the shape of the sliding groove is an arc that is equidistantly expanded from the rotating groove, it is coordinated with the rotating shaft to rotate along the rotating groove, thereby realizing the downward adjustment of the drying plate angle, presenting the effect of the front end being low and the rear end being high. After the drying plate is tilted, it is easy for the 3D printing material to slide down, improving the convenience of material unloading.
[0015] (2) By setting a limiting base plate on the lower surface of both ends of the adjusting column and setting a limiting groove on both ends of the connecting groove, the limiting base plate moves along the limiting groove when the adjusting column moves, thereby achieving a limiting effect, preventing the adjusting column from falling and improving stability.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides an embodiment of a 3D printing drying device, comprising: a drying chamber 1, heating mechanisms 2 on both sides of the drying chamber 1, a control mechanism 3 at the top of the drying chamber 1, a drying chamber 20 inside the drying chamber 1, a door 4 at the opening of the drying chamber 20, and multiple placement components 5 arranged in an equidistant array above and below the drying chamber 20. Movable grooves 7 are provided on both inner walls near the opening of the drying chamber 20, and a sliding groove 8 is provided at one end of each movable groove 7. Component 5 is angle-adjusted along the moving groove 7 and the sliding groove 8. Component 5 includes a drying plate 10 and an adjusting part 15. The drying plate 10 has rotating shafts 12 at both ends near its arc-shaped edge. The drying chamber 20 has rotating grooves 9 on both innermost sides, with the rotating shafts 12 inserted into and rotatably connected to the rotating grooves 9. The upper surface of the drying plate 10 has through-holes 11. The front surface of the drying plate 10 has a connecting groove 13, and the adjusting part 15 is located within the connecting groove 13. Limit grooves 14 are provided on the lower surfaces of both ends of the connecting groove 13. The adjusting part... 15 includes an adjusting column 16 and a limiting base plate 17. The adjusting column 16 moves along the connecting groove 13, and both ends of the adjusting column 16 are inserted into the moving groove 7. The two ends of the adjusting column 16 move along the moving groove 7 and the sliding groove 8. The shape of the sliding groove 8 is an arc shape that is equidistantly enlarged from the rotating groove 9. A push-pull column 18 is provided on the front surface at the center of the adjusting column 16, and the push-pull column 18 is welded and fixed to the adjusting column 16. By pushing the push-pull column 18, the adjusting column 16 is moved to the innermost part of the connecting groove 13. At this time, both ends of the adjusting column 16 are located at the innermost end of the moving groove 7, and the drying plate 10 is in a horizontal state. After placing the 3D printing drying material on the drying plate 10, close the chamber door 4. After drying, open the chamber door 4 and then pull the push-pull column 18 to move the adjusting column 16 along the connecting groove 13. The two ends of the adjusting column 16 also move along the moving groove 7. When it moves to the sliding groove 8, it moves along the sliding groove 8. Since the shape of the sliding groove 8 is an arc that is equidistantly expanded from the rotating groove 9, it works with the rotating shaft 12 to rotate along the rotating groove 9, thereby adjusting the angle of the drying plate 10 downward, presenting a low front end and high rear end effect. After the drying plate 10 is tilted, it is easier for the 3D printing material to slide down, improving the convenience of material unloading.
[0023] Please see Figure 3 , 4 Limiting grooves 14 are provided on the lower surfaces of both ends of the connecting groove 13, and the limiting base plate 17 moves along the limiting groove 14 to limit the movement of the adjusting column 16, prevent it from falling, and improve stability.
[0024] Please see Figure 1 , 2The drying chamber 20 has hot air inlets 6 on both inner surfaces, and the hot air inlets 6 are interconnected with the heating mechanism 2. The heating mechanism 2 has vents 19 on one side surface, and there are several vents 19 and hot air inlets 6. The temperature is controlled by the control mechanism 3. The heating mechanism 2 has heating rods and fan assemblies. Heat is generated by the heating mechanism 2 and blown into the drying chamber 20 from the hot air inlets 6 to dry the material. This is the existing drying box drying technology.
