[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. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 One embodiment provided by this utility model:
[0023] A photopolymer 3D printer is disclosed in this application. The control panel 2, the photopolymer 3D printer body 4, the cartridge body 5, and the slide rail body 13 used in this application are all commercially available products. Their principles and connection methods are existing technologies well-known to those skilled in the art, and therefore will not be described in detail here. The printer includes a base 1, with the control panel 2 mounted on its front surface, a side plate 3 mounted on its back, a curing chamber 22 mounted on its upper surface, and the photopolymer 3D printer body 4 mounted on its upper surface. The cartridge body 5 is installed inside the photopolymer 3D printer body 4. A first side block 6 is mounted on the right side surface of the cartridge body 5. First limiting blocks 9 are mounted on both the front and rear surfaces of the cartridge body 5. Second limiting blocks 10 are mounted on both the front and rear surfaces of the photopolymer 3D printer body 4. Second threaded rods 11 are threadedly installed inside the first limiting blocks 9 and the second limiting blocks 10. A slide rail body 13 is installed on the top surface of the side plate 3. A mounting bracket 14 is slidably installed inside the slide rail body 13. A forming seat 15 is installed on the lower surface of the mounting bracket 14. A forming plate 16 is provided inside the forming seat 15. A limit bracket 17 is installed on the upper surface of the side plate 3. A limit groove 18 is opened inside the limit bracket 17. A sliding groove 19 is opened on the top surface of the limit bracket 17. A sliding plate 20 is slidably installed inside the sliding groove 19. A winding column 21 is installed on the right side surface of the sliding plate 20. First, the wire is passed through the inside of the limit groove 18. At this time, the wire is limited and installed inside the limit groove 18, and the overall installation effect is relatively stable. Then, by sliding the sliding plate 20 inside the sliding groove 19, the winding column 21 can be driven by the sliding plate 20. After the device is used, the wire is passed through the inside of the limit groove 18 and then wound around the outer surface of the winding column 21.
[0024] The second side block 7 is installed on the right side surface of the photopolymer 3D printer body 4. The first side block 6 and the first threaded rod 8 are both connected by threads. The lower end of the material box body 5 is equipped with a spring body 12, which is provided in two sets. After the device is used, the first threaded rod 8 is unscrewed from the inside of the first side block 6 and the second side block 7. Similarly, the second threaded rod 11 is unscrewed from the inside of the first limiting block 9 and the second limiting block 10. This allows the photopolymer 3D printer body 4 to be separated from the material box body 5, making it easier to clean the material box body 5 later. At the same time, when the material box body 5 is released from the limiting position, the elasticity of the spring body 12 at the bottom end can also lift the material box body 5, resulting in a better overall lifting effect. This can help disassemble the material box body 5 for cleaning. Meanwhile, the mounting bracket 14 can move downward inside the slide rail body 13, and the molding seat 15 is installed on the upper surface of the material box body 5, so that the material box body 5 and the molding seat 15 are in a working state.
[0025] Working Principle: When using this device, the operator first connects it to an external power source to provide power. After the device is fully used, the first threaded rod 8 is unscrewed from the inside of the first side block 6 and the second side block 7. Similarly, the second threaded rod 11 is unscrewed from the inside of the first limiting block 9 and the second limiting block 10. This allows the photopolymer 3D printer body 4 to be separated from the cartridge body 5, facilitating subsequent cleaning of the cartridge body 5. Simultaneously, after the cartridge body 5 is released from its limiting position, the elasticity of the spring body 12 at the bottom also lifts the cartridge body 5, resulting in a good overall lifting effect and assisting in the disassembly of the cartridge body 5. Cleaning is performed, and the mounting bracket 14 can move downward inside the slide rail body 13. The forming seat 15 is installed on the upper surface of the material box body 5, so the material box body 5 and the forming seat 15 are in working state. The wire is passed through the inside of the limiting groove 18. At this time, the wire is limited and installed inside the limiting groove 18, and the overall installation effect is relatively stable. Then, by sliding the sliding plate 20 inside the sliding groove 19, the winding column 21 can be driven by the sliding plate 20. After the entire device is used, the wire is passed through the inside of the limiting groove 18, and then the wire is wound on the outer surface of the winding column 21. The above is the working principle of this utility model.
[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model in any way. Those skilled in the art can readily implement this utility model based on the accompanying drawings and the above description. However, any modifications, alterations, or equivalent variations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the utility model's technical solution, utilizing the disclosed technical content, are considered equivalent embodiments of this utility model. Furthermore, any equivalent changes, alterations, or variations made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model's technical solution.
