[0029] To make the technical means, creative features, achieved objectives and functions of this utility model clearer and easier to understand, the utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0030] like Figure 1-2 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a scraping device for a 3D printer, including: a base 1; a frame 2, which is fixedly installed on the upper part of the base 1; and a cleaning mechanism, which includes a drive unit fixedly installed on one side of the frame 2, a transmission unit and a sliding unit installed between two opposing inner walls of the frame 2, and a cleaning unit connected between the transmission unit and the sliding unit. The transmission unit is rotatably connected to the two opposing inner walls of the frame 2. The power input end of the transmission unit freely passes through the frame 2 and is connected to the power output end of the drive unit. The cleaning unit is movably connected to the transmission unit and slidably connected to the sliding unit. The cleaning unit is slidably attached to the upper part of the base 1. The drive unit drives the cleaning unit to reciprocate along the upper part of the base 1 through the transmission unit.

[0031] After the 3D printer finishes printing and is removed, the start-up drive unit drives the cleaning unit to reciprocate on the upper part of the base 1 through the transmission unit, so that the cleaning unit cleans the waste on the base 1. The operation is simple and convenient, and the waste can be cleaned quickly. Moreover, the sliding part can ensure the stability of the cleaning unit's sliding, which improves the cleaning efficiency.

[0032] like Figure 1-2 as well as Figure 4-6As shown, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the scraping device of the 3D printer equipment further optimizes its transmission part, cleaning part, sliding part and driving part. The transmission part includes a reciprocating screw 6 rotatably installed between two opposing inner walls of the frame 2. The cleaning part is slidably connected to the spiral groove of the reciprocating screw 6 through a connector. One end of the reciprocating screw 6 freely passes through the frame 2 and is connected to the power output end of the driving part.

[0033] The cleaning unit includes a scraper 4 that slides and fits against the upper part of the base 1. One end of the scraper 4 has a sliding hole 41, and the other end has a through hole 42. The sliding hole 41 is slidably fitted onto the sliding unit, and the through hole 42 is slidably fitted onto the reciprocating lead screw 6. A connecting member is disposed on the inner wall of the through hole 42. The connecting member includes a slider 43 that is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the through hole 42 via a rotating shaft 44. The slider 43 is slidably connected to the helical groove of the reciprocating lead screw 6. Preferably, the slider 43 has an arc-shaped structure, allowing it to better slide and fit against the helical groove of the reciprocating lead screw 6, ensuring the stability of the slider 43 sliding within the helical groove of the reciprocating lead screw 6. Furthermore, the length of the slider 43 is greater than the width of the helical groove of the reciprocating lead screw 6, preventing the slider 43 from getting stuck at the intersection of the helical grooves. Also, the width of the side of the scraper 4 that slides and fits against the base 1 is greater than the width of the other side, resulting in a better cleaning effect for the scraper 4.

[0034] The sliding part includes a sliding rod 5 fixedly installed between two opposing inner walls of the frame 2, and the sliding hole 41 is slidably sleeved on the sliding rod 5.

[0035] The drive unit includes a motor 61 fixedly mounted on the side wall of the frame 2. The power output shaft of the motor 61 is coaxially and fixedly connected to one end of the reciprocating lead screw 6 that extends out of the frame 2.

[0036] Motor 61 drives reciprocating screw 6 to rotate, causing slider 43 to slide back and forth along the spiral groove of reciprocating screw 6, thereby driving scraper 4 to reciprocate synchronously.

[0037] like Figure 1-3 As shown, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the scraping device of the 3D printer equipment preferably has an installation groove 12 on one side of the base 1, and two feeding channels 11 connected to the installation groove 12 are inclined at opposite sides on the upper part of the base 1. A storage box 7 is slidably installed between the inner and outer sides of the installation groove 12. A handle groove 71 is provided on the side wall of the storage box 7 away from the installation groove 12. The two feeding channels 11 are respectively arranged on both sides of the base 1 and located on the sliding trajectory of the scraper 4. This allows the waste material on the upper part of the base 1 to be pushed into the two feeding channels 11 during the reciprocating motion of the scraper 4, so that the waste material falls into the storage box 7 for collection. After the collection is full, the storage box 7 can be pulled out through the handle groove 71 for cleaning.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the scraping device of the 3D printer equipment further includes a printing component 3 disposed in the frame 2, the printing component 3 being located directly above the base 1; the operating principle and specific structure of the printing component 3 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0039] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When this utility model is used, after the 3D printer finishes printing, the motor 61 is started to drive the reciprocating lead screw 6 to rotate, so that the slider 43 slides along the spiral groove of the reciprocating lead screw 6, thereby driving the scraper 4 to reciprocate on the upper part of the base 1 and slide relative to the sliding rod 5, so that the scraper 4 scrapes the waste on the upper part of the base 1 into the two discharge channels 11, so that it is collected in the collection box 7. After it is full, the collection box 7 can be pulled out through the handle groove 71 to empty it.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
