[0030] To make the technical problems solved by this utility model, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an adjustment mechanism for a display screen 3 of a photopolymer 3D printer, including: a rotating arm 4, fixedly mounted on the housing 1 of the display screen 3 of the photopolymer 3D printer; a rotating door 2, rotatably connected to the rotating arm 4, and having a display screen 3 mounted thereon, preferably a touch screen 3 capable of human-computer interaction; and an adjustment component 5, including a first connecting part 52 and a second connecting part 51, the first connecting part 52 connecting the rotating door 2, and the second connecting part 51 connecting the rotating arm 4, the second connecting part 51 including a plurality of slots 513, and the first connecting part 52 having a locking block 523, the locking block 523 being able to engage with the corresponding locking block 523 in the slot 513, the rotating door 2 being able to rotate relative to the rotating arm 4 by rotating the rotating door 2, and the locking block 523 being able to engage with different slots 513 according to the angle of rotation, thereby fixing the rotating door 2. Preferably, the rotating arm 4 and the adjustment component 5 are provided in two sets, respectively disposed on both sides of the rotating door 2. It should be noted that the rotating door 2 can rotate relative to the rotating arm 4, or it can move laterally relative to the rotating arm 4.

[0035] This utility model embodiment provides an adjustment mechanism for the display screen 3 of a photopolymer 3D printer. Through the cooperation of the rotating arm 4 and the adjustment component 5, the rotating door 2 can be rotated, and the angle of the display screen 3 on the rotating door 2 also changes. The user only needs to adjust to a suitable angle and look down at the display screen 3 without having to squat or bend over, making it convenient for the user to use and view.

[0036] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the rotating arm 4 includes a fixed arm plate 41, the top of which is fixedly connected to the housing 1. An arc-shaped arm plate 42 is connected below the fixed arm plate 41, and a rotating head 43 is connected to the arc-shaped arm plate 42. The arc-shaped arm plate 42, the fixed arm plate 41, and the rotating head 43 form a rotating groove 44. The top of the rotating door 2 is provided with an arc-shaped rotating surface, which fits against the rotating head 43 and rotates relative to it. Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, during installation, the outer surface of the rotating head 43 fits against the arc-shaped rotating surface of the rotating door 2, while the arc-shaped rotating surface extends into the groove, which serves to avoid obstruction.

[0037] In some embodiments, as shown in 3 to 5, the rotating arm 4 is further connected to a transition plate 6, which is connected to the second connecting portion 51. The second connecting portion 51 includes a second mounting plate 511, and a second arc-shaped plate 512 is provided on the side of the second mounting plate 511 near the rotating arm 4. The second arc-shaped plate 512 has a plurality of slots 513. The first connecting portion 52 includes a first fixing plate 521, which is connected to the rotating door 2 near the top. A first swing arm 522 is connected to the side of the first fixing plate 521 away from the rotating door 2. The locking block 523 is provided on the side of the first swing arm 522 away from the first fixing plate 521. The first swing arm 522 is located below the transition plate 6. Specifically, during the rotation of the rotating door 2, the rotating arm 4, the transition plate 6, and the second mounting plate 511 remain stationary, while the first swing arm 522 swings. The end of the first swing arm 522 is provided with the locking block 523. The locking block 523 forms an arc shape during the swing, corresponding to the extension direction of the second arc plate 512. When the rotating door 2 is adjusted to a suitable position, the locking block 523 can be inserted into the corresponding slot 513.

[0038] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and 5 As shown, the slot 513 includes a vertical slot surface 5131, a horizontal slot surface 5132, and an inclined slot surface 5133; the block 523 includes a vertical surface 5231, a horizontal surface 5232, and an inclined surface 5233. The vertical surface 5231 corresponds to the vertical slot surface 5131, the horizontal surface 5232 corresponds to the horizontal slot surface 5132, and the inclined surface 5233 corresponds to the inclined slot surface 5133. Specifically, in order to ensure that the locking block 523 and the locking slot 513 can fit tightly and facilitate sliding in and out, when the rotating door 2 is lifted upward, the locking block 523 is engaged from the vertical groove surface 5131. When further adjustment is needed, the door is lifted upward again, and the locking block 523 will slide out from the inclined groove surface 5133, and then engage again when it reaches the vertical groove surface 5131 of the next locking slot 513. When the rotating door 2 is to be rotated in the opposite direction, the rotating door 2 is first moved horizontally to disengage the locking block 523 from the locking slot 513. At this time, the vertical groove surface 5131 can no longer restrict the locking block 523, and the rotating door 2 can be rotated in the opposite direction.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the top of the first fixing plate 521 is an arc surface, which can be engaged with the arc-shaped rotating surface at the top of the rotating door 2.

[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6The rotating head 43 is also connected to a rotating rod 45. A rotating cavity is provided on the first fixing plate 521, and an elastic element 7 is disposed within the rotating cavity. The rotating rod 45 can be inserted into the rotating cavity and rotate relative to it. The elastic element 7 is preferably a spring. In this embodiment, under normal conditions, i.e., when the locking block 523 is inserted into the locking slot 513, the elastic element 7 is in its normal state. When the rotating door 2 is pushed upwards, as the locking block 523 moves from the current locking slot 513 to the next locking slot 513, the elastic element 7 undergoes a compression and reset process. This elasticity provides elastic support for the locking block 523 towards the locking slot 513. Once the angle of the rotating door 2 is fixed, the locking block 523 cannot disengage from the locking slot 513, thus fixing the rotating door 2. When the rotating door 2 needs to be pushed downwards, it needs to be moved laterally first. At this time, the elastic element 7 is compressed, the locking block 523 disengages from the locking slot 513, and the rotating door 2 can then rotate downwards.

[0041] Note that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and the techniques employed. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, although the present invention has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and may include many other equivalent embodiments without departing from the concept of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
