Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of 3D printing technology, and in particular to a cost-reducing 3D printing slide rail mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] 3D printing, or rapid prototyping technology, is a technique that uses digital model files as a basis and employs powdered metal or plastic and other bondable materials to construct objects layer by layer. 3D printing is usually achieved using digital material printers and is commonly used in mold making, industrial design and other fields to create models.

[0003] However, in existing 3D printers, the printed object is placed inside the printing chamber during the printing process, making it impossible to clearly observe the product quality. Furthermore, after printing is completed, the operator can reach into the printing chamber to directly remove the printed object. The print head of the 3D printer cools down slowly, which can easily cause injury to people. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the existing technology where product quality cannot be clearly observed, and where operators can directly reach into the printing chamber to take out the printed items after printing, and where the printing nozzle of the 3D printer cools down slowly and is prone to causing harm to people. Therefore, this invention proposes a cost-reducing 3D printing slide rail mechanism.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a cost-reducing 3D printed slide rail mechanism, comprising a base, a first drive motor fixedly mounted on the top of the base, a screw fixedly connected to the output end of the first drive motor, a moving block sleeved on the outer surface of the screw, a cleaning mechanism provided on the top of the moving block, a work plate provided on the top of the cleaning mechanism, a slide rail provided on the top of the base, a slider slidably connected on the slide rail, and the top of the slider fixedly connected to the work plate.

[0006] Preferably, the cleaning mechanism includes a fixed housing, which is fixedly connected to the top of the movable block, and a rack is fixedly connected inside the fixed housing.

[0007] Preferably, a support frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of the working plate, a rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner side of the support frame, and a gear is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft, the gear meshing with a rack.

[0008] Preferably, a scraper is provided on the top of the working plate, a connecting frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of the scraper, one side of the connecting frame is fixedly connected to the support frame, a second drive motor is fixedly installed on one side of the support frame, and the output end of the second drive motor movably passes through the support frame and is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the base is fixedly connected to a support leg, the bottom of the support leg is fixedly connected to a mounting plate, and the surface of the mounting plate is provided with threaded mounting through holes.

[0010] Preferably, the top of the working plate has a through groove, and the connecting frame moves through the through groove.

[0011] Preferably, a limiting plate is provided at one end of the screw, and both the slide rail and the slider are made of polyester.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. In this utility model, by starting the first drive motor, the first drive motor drives the screw to rotate. The working plate limits the moving block, causing the screw to drive the moving block to move. This causes the working plate to drive the slider to slide on the slide rail, thereby bringing the printed item out of the printer box for observation. The operator does not need to reach into the printer box to retrieve the printed item, avoiding damage to people caused by the 3D printer's print head. After observation, the first drive motor is started in reverse to bring the printed item back into the printer box for further processing.

[0014] 2. In this utility model, the cleaning mechanism is set up to start the second drive motor, which causes the rotating shaft to drive the gear to rotate. Since the gear and rack mesh, the support frame moves on the fixed shell, which in turn causes the connecting frame to drive the scraper to move, making it easier to scrape off the material remaining on the work plate. This makes it easier to clean the work plate without manual cleaning, thus improving its practicality. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0021] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0022] Example 1: As Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, this utility model provides a cost-reducing 3D printing slide rail mechanism, including a base 1, a first drive motor 2 fixedly installed on the top of the base 1, a screw 3 fixedly connected to the output end of the first drive motor 2, a moving block 4 sleeved on the outer surface of the screw 3, a cleaning mechanism 5 provided on the top of the moving block 4, a working plate 6 provided on the top of the cleaning mechanism 5, a slide rail 7 provided on the top of the base 1, a slider 8 slidably connected on the slide rail 7, and the top of the slider 8 fixedly connected to the working plate 6.

[0023] The overall effect of Embodiment 1 is as follows: During the 3D printing process, the printed object is placed on the work plate 6. The first drive motor 2 is started, causing the first drive motor 2 to drive the screw 3 to rotate. The slider 8 limits the work plate 6, and the work plate 6 limits the moving block 4, causing the screw 3 to drive the moving block 4 to move. This causes the work plate 6 to drive the slider 8 to slide on the slide rail 7, thereby bringing the printed object on the work plate 6 out of the printer box for observation. The operator does not need to reach into the printer box to retrieve the printed object, avoiding damage to people caused by the 3D printer's print head. After observation, the first drive motor 2 is started in reverse to bring the printed object back into the printer box for further processing.

[0024] Example 2: Figure 1 - Figure 4As shown, the cleaning mechanism 5 includes a fixed housing 501, which is fixedly connected to the top of the movable block 4. A rack 502 is fixedly connected inside the fixed housing 501. A support frame 503 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the working plate 6. A rotating shaft 504 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the support frame 503. A gear 505 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 504. The gear 505 meshes with the rack 502. A scraper 506 is provided on the top of the working plate 6. A connecting frame 507 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the scraper 506. One side of the connecting frame 507 is connected to the support frame 503. The support frame 503 is fixedly connected to a second drive motor 508, the output end of which movably passes through the support frame 503 and is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 504. The bottom of the base 1 is fixedly connected to a support leg 9, and the bottom of the support leg 9 is fixedly connected to a mounting plate 10. The surface of the mounting plate 10 is provided with a threaded mounting through hole 11. The top of the working plate 6 is provided with a through groove 12, and the connecting frame 507 movably passes through the through groove 12. One end of the screw 3 is provided with a limit plate 13. The slide rail 7 and the slider 8 are both made of polyester.

[0025] The overall effect of Embodiment 2 is as follows: the cleaning mechanism 5 activates the second drive motor 508, causing the rotating shaft 504 to drive the gear 505 to rotate. Since the gear 505 meshes with the rack 502, it drives the support frame 503 to move on the fixed shell 501, thereby causing the connecting frame 507 to drive the scraper 506 to move, which facilitates the removal of residual material on the work plate 6 and makes it easy to clean the work plate 6 without manual cleaning, thus improving practicality. The support legs 9 provide support for the base 1, and the threaded mounting through hole 11 facilitates the installation of the device in the chassis of the 3D printer. The limiting plate 13 limits the movement of the moving block 4. Since both the slide rail 7 and the slider 8 are made of polyester, the overall weight of the device is reduced, thus reducing the manufacturing cost of the device.

[0026] Working principle: In use, the mounting plate 10 installs the device inside the 3D printer's chassis via the threaded mounting through-hole 11. During the 3D printing process, the printed object is placed on the work plate 6. When observation of the printed object is required, the first drive motor 2 is activated, causing the first drive motor 2 to drive the screw 3 to rotate. The slider 8 limits the work plate 6, and the work plate 6 limits the moving block 4, causing the screw 3 to drive the moving block 4 to move. This causes the work plate 6 to drive the slider 8 to slide on the slide rail 7, thereby bringing the printed object on the work plate 6 out of the printer chassis for observation. After observation, the device is then activated again. The first drive motor 2 reverses to bring the printed item back into the printer housing for further processing. The operator does not need to reach into the printer housing to retrieve the printed item, avoiding injury from the 3D printer's print head. When there is residual printing material on the work plate 6 for cleaning, the second drive motor 508 is activated, causing the rotating shaft 504 to drive the gear 505 to rotate. Since the gear 505 is meshed with the rack 502, it drives the support frame 503 to move on the fixed housing 501, thereby causing the connecting frame 507 to drive the scraper 506 to move, thus scraping away the residual material on the work plate 6. No manual cleaning is required, improving practicality.

[0027] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
