Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of 3D printing equipment technology, and in particular to a heating device for metal 3D printing. Background Technology

[0002] 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a type of rapid prototyping technology. It is a technology that uses digital model files as a basis and employs powdered metal or plastic and other bondable materials to construct objects layer by layer. 3D printing is usually achieved using digital material printers and is often used in mold making, industrial design and other fields to create models. Later, it was gradually used for the direct manufacturing of some products.

[0003] In practice, existing printing equipment does not provide auxiliary heat dissipation after completing its work, resulting in a prolonged high-temperature working environment that can easily cause varying degrees of damage to the equipment. Furthermore, the overall printing equipment cannot be flexibly adjusted, leading to low overall flexibility and numerous inconveniences.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a heating device for metal 3D printing. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a heating device for metal 3D printing.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a heating device for metal 3D printing, including a sealed box.

[0007] The sealed box is equipped with a fixing frame inside. First limiting guide rails are installed on both sides of the fixing frame. Fourth limiting guide rails are installed on the top of both fixing frames. A reciprocating lead screw is installed on one side of each of the two fourth limiting guide rails. A fixing plate is installed on the outer side of each of the two reciprocating lead screws. A positioning plate is installed on one side of each fixing plate. A fixing block is installed on the other side of each of the two positioning plates. A third limiting guide rail is installed between the two fixing blocks. An installation side plate is installed on the outer side of the third limiting guide rail. An installation seat is installed on the outer side of the installation side plate. A printing device is installed inside the installation seat. A print head is installed at the bottom of the printing device.

[0008] A second limiting guide rail is installed between the first limiting guide rail and the fixed frame. Second limiting rollers are installed on both sides of the second limiting guide rail at equal intervals. A mounting base plate is installed on the top of each of the second limiting rollers. A mounting horizontal plate is installed above the mounting base plate. A mounting box is installed on the top of the mounting horizontal plate. A processing table is installed on the top of the mounting box. The processing table has air outlet slits that are evenly distributed and used in conjunction with the mounting box.

[0009] A fan is installed inside the mounting box. First positioning plates are installed between the mounting horizontal plate and the processing table, and around the perimeter of the mounting box. A first damper is installed on the top of each of the four first positioning plates. A buffer spring is fitted on the outside of each first damper. The tops of the first dampers and the buffer springs are connected to the bottom of the processing table. Second positioning plates are installed at equal intervals on the bottom of the mounting horizontal plate, and on the outside of the mounting base plate. A second damper is installed between each second positioning plate and the mounting horizontal plate. A buffer spring of the same structure is fitted on the outside of each second damper. The processing table is located below the mounting base.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the mounting base has an internal cavity for mounting the printing device. A heating box is mounted on top of the printing device, and a valve extending to the outside of the mounting base is mounted on top of the heating box. Two first limiting rollers are mounted on one side of the mounting side plate, above the third limiting guide rail. These first limiting rollers limit the sliding motion of the mounting base. The mounting side plate has an L-shaped structure, and a third positioning bolt extending into the third limiting guide rail is located at the bottom of the mounting side plate. After moving to the work site, the third positioning bolt can position the mounting side plate and the third limiting guide rail, preventing the device from moving independently. The top of the mounting box... A filter screen is installed above the fan in the mounting box. A control compartment is installed inside the mounting box and on one side of the fan. A temperature sensor is fixedly connected inside the control compartment. A motor mounting plate is fixedly connected inside the mounting box and below the fan. A second drive motor is installed inside the motor mounting plate. The output end of the second drive motor is connected to the fan. The second drive motor is supported and installed by the motor mounting plate. When the second drive motor runs, it drives the fan to rotate. The air discharged through the filter screen provides auxiliary heat dissipation for the printing site. It can also recover heat from the site into the mounting box, conduct the temperature through temperature conduction plates, and recover and utilize waste heat resources through cold water pipes.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a first drive motor is installed on one side of each of the two fourth limiting guide rails and above the first limiting guide rail. The output end of each first drive motor is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the corresponding reciprocating lead screw. A movable slide plate is threaded to the outer side of each reciprocating lead screw. One side of each movable slide plate is connected to a corresponding fixed plate. The operation of the first drive motor drives the corresponding reciprocating lead screw to rotate, thereby adjusting the height of the movable slide plate, thus adjusting the height of one side of the fixed plate, until finally adjusting the height of the third limiting guide rail, improving the final printing height. The other side of each of the two fixed plates is threaded with a second positioning bolt extending into the interior of the corresponding positioning plate. The positioning plate and the fixed plate... A third limiting roller is installed between the fixed plates to cooperate with the fourth limiting guide rail. A first mounting slide is installed on one side of the first drive motor. The first mounting slide is slidably connected to the first limiting guide rail. A first positioning bolt extending into the fourth limiting guide rail is threaded on the outer side of the first mounting slide. The first positioning bolt positions and installs the first mounting slide and the fourth limiting guide rail, thereby ensuring that when the first mounting slide is moved to one side, the fourth limiting guide rail and the first mounting slide will move to one side simultaneously. The overall installation position of the fourth limiting guide rail can be flexibly adjusted. The fixed plate and the positioning plate are positioned and installed by the second positioning bolt. The third limiting roller is used to limit the movement when sliding on the outer side of the fourth limiting guide rail.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a control panel is fixedly connected inside the sealed box and to one side of one of the first limiting guide rails. A storage box is fixedly connected inside the sealed box and to one side of the other first limiting guide rail. An electrical control box is installed on the top of the storage box. The electrical control box, valves, printing equipment, print head, first drive motor, second drive motor, and temperature sensor are all electrically connected to the control panel. The control panel is used to control the operation of the electrical control box, valves, printing equipment, print head, first drive motor, second drive motor, and temperature sensor, realizing unified management of electrical equipment. The storage box is used for storing some items for easy access during use.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a shock-absorbing base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sealed box, and a viewing window is provided on the outside of the sealed box. The shock-absorbing base plate supports the entire equipment, and the viewing window is used to observe the operation of the equipment inside the sealed box.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] By setting up a sealed box, mounting base, fourth limit guide rail, and processing table, the second drive motor drives the fan to rotate, providing auxiliary heat dissipation for the printing site through the filter. Heat can also be recovered from the site and transferred to the mounting box for heat conduction via temperature conductive plates and waste heat recovery via cold water pipes. A temperature sensor monitors temperature changes in real time, and when a preset value is reached, the fan provides cooling. The fan is bidirectional and can switch between blowing and suction. The first drive motor drives the corresponding reciprocating screw to rotate, thereby adjusting the height of the moving slide plate, which in turn adjusts the height of the fixed plate on one side, ultimately adjusting the height of the third limit guide rail. This improves the final printing height. The storage box is used for some items... The device features convenient storage and easy access. The first mounting plate and the fourth limiting guide rail are positioned and installed using the first positioning bolt. This ensures that moving the first mounting plate to one side will simultaneously move both the fourth limiting guide rail and the first mounting plate to one side. The overall installation position of the fourth limiting guide rail can be flexibly adjusted. The fixing plate and positioning plate are positioned and installed using the second positioning bolt. The third limiting roller, in conjunction with the fourth limiting guide rail, provides limiting action when sliding outside. A shock-absorbing base plate supports the entire device. A viewing window allows visibility of the device's operation within the sealed enclosure and provides auxiliary cooling after printing. This design facilitates easy access for staff and offers a degree of protection, extending the device's lifespan. Attached Figure Description

The output end of each first drive motor 33 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the corresponding reciprocating lead screw 34.

The fixing plate 36 and the positioning plate 37 are positioned and installed by the second positioning bolt 38, and the third limiting roller is used to limit the movement when sliding on the outside of the fourth limiting guide rail 3.
