Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of 3D printed workpiece drying technology, specifically a rapid drying rack for cleaning 3D printed workpieces. Background Technology

[0002] 3D printed parts refer to solid components or products manufactured using 3D printing technology. 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, builds objects by depositing materials layer by layer, unlike traditional subtractive manufacturing (such as machining). This unique forming principle endows 3D printed parts with numerous characteristics.

[0003] Cleaning of 3D printed parts is an indispensable post-processing step in the 3D printing process. It is related to the final quality and performance of the parts. Due to the differences in materials and molding methods used in different 3D printing processes, the cleaning methods also have their own characteristics.

[0004] After cleaning, 3D printed workpieces need to be dried. In existing technologies, drying 3D printed workpieces after cleaning usually involves blowing hot air in a fixed direction to quickly dry the workpieces. However, 3D printed workpieces have various shapes, and some hard-to-reach areas are easily blocked, making it difficult to dry them quickly.

[0005] Therefore, a rapid drying rack for cleaning 3D printed workpieces is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

The drive gear meshes with a driven gear, and the driven gear is fixedly connected to a vertical pipe. This drives the hot air duct assembly to rotate around the 3D printed workpiece. In conjunction with the hot air assembly, hot air can be blown onto the 3D printed workpiece from various angles, effectively improving the drying efficiency of the 3D printed workpiece.

[0012] Preferably, the hot air assembly includes a hot air blower, the outlet of which is connected to a hot air pipe, one end of which is connected to a rotary joint, and the rotary joint is installed at the top of the vertical pipe.
