Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal printer technology, and in particular to a leveling mechanism for a metal printer. Background Technology

[0002] 3D metal printers, also known as three-dimensional printers, are machines that utilize additive manufacturing technology, or rapid prototyping technology. Based on a digital model file, they use special waxes, powdered metals, or plastics—materials that can be bonded—to create three-dimensional objects by printing layers of this bonding material. With the diversification of 3D printing materials and the innovation of printing technology, 3D printing not only demonstrates extraordinary development potential in traditional manufacturing industries, but its appeal also extends to many fields closely related to people's lives, such as food manufacturing, clothing and luxury goods, film and media, and education.

[0003] In use, existing devices require manual adjustment of multiple leveling plates by staff during leveling. After adjustment, the shafts connected to the leveling plates need to be fixed, which is done by the friction of bolts. If the pressure is too high, the leveling plates may become loose. Therefore, we have proposed a leveling mechanism for metal printers. Utility Model Content

[0027] To further understand the invention content, features and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings;

[0028] The structure of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] refer to Figure 1-4 A metal printer leveling mechanism includes a metal printing equipment frame 3, rotating shafts 4 are rotatably mounted on the inner walls of the left and right sides of the metal printing equipment frame 3, a first mounting plate 5 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the rotating shaft 4, a movable shaft 6 is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the first mounting plate 5, an adjusting plate 7 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the movable shaft 6, and a metal printing leveling connection assembly 1 is provided below the metal printing equipment frame 3, the first mounting plate 5 and the adjusting plate 7.

[0030] The metal printing leveling connection assembly 1 includes a connecting lug 11, a fixing pin 12, and a connecting rotating block 13. The connecting lug 11 is fixedly installed on one side of the first mounting plate 5, the leveling plate 7, and the metal printing equipment frame 3. The fixing pin 12 is located inside the connecting lug 11, and the connecting rotating block 13 is rotatably installed on the outside of the fixing pin 12.

[0031] In this embodiment, a level 8 is fixedly installed on the top of the leveling plate 7, and a metal printing equipment adjustment component 2 is provided above the metal printing leveling connection component 1.

[0032] In this embodiment, the metal printing leveling connection assembly 1 also includes a second mounting plate 14, a threaded hole 15, and a fixing bolt 16. The second mounting plate 14 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting lug 11. The threaded hole 15 is opened above the second mounting plate 14 and the fixing pin 12. The fixing bolt 16 is threadedly installed inside the threaded hole 15.

[0033] In this embodiment, the metal printing equipment adjustment assembly 2 includes a fixed cylinder 21, a lead screw 22, and a rotating handle 23. The fixed cylinder 21 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the upper connecting rotating block 13, the lead screw 22 is slidably installed on the inner side of the fixed cylinder 21, the lead screw 22 is fixedly installed at the top of the lower connecting rotating block 13, and the rotating handle 23 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the fixed cylinder 21.

[0034] In this embodiment, a fixing groove is provided at the bottom of the rotating handle 23, and a threaded sleeve 24 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the fixing groove. The lead screw 22 meshes with the threaded sleeve 24. One end of the lead screw 22 is fixed to the bottom of the upper connecting rotating block 13, so the lead screw 22 cannot rotate. After the rotating handle 23 is rotated, the lead screw 22 can be driven to be stored in the inner side of the fixing cylinder 21 through the thread engagement, or the lead screw 22 can be slid out from the inner side of the fixing cylinder 21, so that the movement of the lead screw 22 can adjust the height of the first mounting plate 5 and the adjusting plate 7.

[0035] In this embodiment, a rotating groove is provided on one side of the first mounting plate 5 and the adjusting plate 7, and the rotating shaft 4 and the movable shaft 6 are in contact with the rotating groove. The rotating groove facilitates the first mounting plate 5 and the adjusting plate 7 to be rotatably mounted on the outside of the rotating shaft 4 and the movable shaft 6, so that the first mounting plate 5 and the adjusting plate 7 rotate more stably.

[0036] In this embodiment, an insertion groove is provided on one side of the connecting lug 11, and the fixing pin 12 fits into the insertion groove. Both the connecting lug 11 and the connecting rotating block 13 have arc-shaped chamfers on one side. The rotating fixing bolt 16 is disengaged from the inside of the threaded hole 15. At this time, the fixing pin 12 can be disengaged from the inside of the connecting rotating block 13 and the connecting lug 11, which makes it easy for workers to remove and maintain the connecting rotating block 13, the fixing cylinder 21 and the lead screw 22. This makes it easy to maintain multiple mechanisms during long-term use of the device and prevents the situation from becoming difficult to adjust after rusting.

[0037] In this embodiment, the top of the first mounting plate 5 is provided with a mounting groove, the movable shaft 6 is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the mounting groove, and the outer side of the adjusting plate 7 is provided with an arc-shaped chamfer. The mounting groove facilitates the installation of the movable shaft 6, and the arc-shaped chamfer prevents the adjusting plate 7 from colliding and interfering with the mounting groove during the rotation and adjustment process.

[0038] The specific operation is as follows: during the leveling process of the plate 7, the first mounting plate 5 above the rotating shaft 4 is first adjusted to balance. The rotating handle 23 below the first mounting plate 5 is controlled to drive the lead screw 22 to rotate. The inner side of the rotating handle 23 is provided with a threaded sleeve 24. One end of the lead screw 22 is fixed to the bottom of the lower connecting rotating block 13, so the lead screw 22 cannot rotate. After the rotating handle 23 is rotated, the lead screw 22 can be driven to be stored inside the fixed cylinder 21 through the threaded engagement, or the lead screw 22 can be slid out from the inside of the fixed cylinder 21, so that the movement of the lead screw 22 can adjust the front and rear height of the first mounting plate 5.

[0039] After the first mounting plate 5 is adjusted, the lead screw 22 below the adjusting plate 7 can be moved and adjusted again using the above method until the level 8 above the adjusting plate 7 is in a horizontal state. If maintenance of the lead screw 22 and the threaded sleeve 24 is required, the fixing bolt 16 can be rotated to disengage from the inside of the threaded hole 15. At this time, the fixing pin 12 can be disengaged from the inside of the connecting rotating block 13 and the connecting lug 11, making it easier for the staff to remove and maintain the connecting rotating block 13, the fixing cylinder 21 and the lead screw 22. This makes it easy to maintain multiple mechanisms during long-term use of the device and prevents the situation where it is difficult to adjust after rusting.

[0040] It should be noted that although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
