While this can achieve the desired frame shape, the surface of the frame is relatively rough. Furthermore, welding is required to assemble the frames, which results in low production efficiency and makes it difficult to guarantee the assembly accuracy between the frames.

[0003] To address the above issues, we provide a frame processing device for 3D printers. In this device, the frame to be processed is placed on a model table, and the edges of the frame are processed in one go using a processing tool.

[0011] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the longitudinal slide table is installed with the bottom of the longitudinal slide frame through a slide rail and a slider;

[0012] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a vertical moving component is fixedly installed at one end of the longitudinal slide; the vertical moving component includes a U-shaped frame fixedly installed with the longitudinal slide; the U-shaped frame is vertically arranged, and a vertical lead screw is installed inside the U-shaped frame; one end of the vertical lead screw is fixedly installed with a third drive motor; the vertical lead screw is installed through a vertical sliding plate; a machining tool is fixedly installed on the side of the vertical sliding plate away from the U-shaped frame; when the machining tool needs to perform different depth machining on the frame, the vertical lead screw is driven to rotate by the third drive motor, so that the vertical sliding plate moves up and down along the U-shaped frame to meet the machining needs of the machining tool.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] 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.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-7In this embodiment of the present invention, a frame processing device for a 3D printer includes a movable clamping assembly 2, which includes a carrier plate 24. A model platform 25 is integrally mounted on the carrier plate 24. The edge of the model platform 25 is fitted to the inner wall of the frame 7. A circular hole is provided at the center of the carrier plate 24 and the model platform 25 to facilitate the passage of the push rod of the electric push cylinder 210. The side of the carrier plate 24 away from the model platform 25 is fixedly installed with a vertical plate 27. Two vertical plates 27 are provided and are arranged symmetrically. A groove is provided on the vertical plate 27 to facilitate the fitting of pressure blocks 211. The pressure blocks 211 are detachably installed with a sliding plate 21 via pads. Through the cooperation of the two pressure blocks 211 and the two vertical plates, the stability of the carrier plate 24 and the model platform 25 during the processing is effectively guaranteed.

[0028] The bottom of the slide plate 21 has two semi-circular blocks integrally formed, and the semi-circular blocks are slidably installed with two guide rods 26 respectively; one of the two semi-circular blocks is fixedly installed with the slide frame 28; the end of the slide frame 28 away from the semi-circular block is fitted with the first lead screw 22; the two ends of the first lead screw 22 are fixedly installed on the base 1 by bearings with seats; one end of the first lead screw 22 is fixedly installed with the first drive motor 23.

The rectangular groove on the slide plate 21 effectively avoids the bottom of the electric push cylinder 210 from being blocked during the sliding process, ensuring smooth processing and sliding above the slide plate 21.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, in use, firstly, the two upright plates 27 are fixed to the slide plate 21 by the pressure block 211, then the carrier plate 24 and the model platform 25 are fixedly installed on the upright plates 27, the electric push cylinder 210 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the slide plate 21, and the push rod of the electric push cylinder 210 passes through the slide plate 21, the carrier plate 24 and the model platform 25. A pressure plate 29 is fixedly installed at the top of the push rod of the electric push cylinder 210. Through the cooperation of the pressure plate 29 and the model platform 25, the frame 7 is effectively clamped and fixed.

[0031] An electric push cylinder 210 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the slide plate 21; the push rod of the electric push cylinder 210 passes through the slide plate 21, the carrier plate 24 and the model platform 25; a pressure plate 29 is fixedly installed at the top of the push rod of the electric push cylinder 210; the pressure plate 29 is in contact with the frame 7.

[0032] In this embodiment, a transverse moving component 3 is fixedly installed at one end of the base 1; the transverse moving component 3 includes two symmetrically arranged support plates 30; a second lead screw 33 is arranged between the two support plates 30; guide slides 32 are arranged on both sides of the second lead screw 33; one end of the second lead screw 33 is fixedly installed with a second drive motor 31; the second drive motor 31 is fixedly installed with one of the support plates 30; a transverse slide 34 is fitted on the second lead screw 33 and the two guide slides 32; a longitudinal slide 35 is fitted on the transverse slide 34.

[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, the two ends of the pressure plate 29 are fitted with the protruding positions on the inner side of the frame 7, which effectively avoids blocking the outer edge of the frame 7 and effectively ensures that the processing tool 40 moves along the edge of the frame 7 as a whole during the processing, thus ensuring the processing quality and efficiency of the frame 7.

[0034] Furthermore, during machining, the slide plate 21 moves along the guide rod 26 via the carriage 28 to the bottom of the machining tool 40, which effectively reduces the stroke of the machining tool 40;

[0035] In this embodiment, the longitudinal slide table 35 is installed in conjunction with the bottom of the longitudinal slide frame 5 via a slide rail and a slider;

[0036] A vertical moving component 6 is fixedly installed at one end of the longitudinal slide 5; the vertical moving component 6 includes a U-shaped frame 60 fixedly installed with the longitudinal slide 5; the U-shaped frame 60 is vertically arranged, and a vertical lead screw 62 is installed inside the U-shaped frame 60; one end of the vertical lead screw 62 is fixedly installed with a third drive motor 61; the vertical lead screw 62 is installed through a vertical sliding plate 41; a machining tool 40 is fixedly installed on the side of the vertical sliding plate 41 away from the U-shaped frame 60.

[0037] By adopting the above technical solution, when the position of the machining tool 40 needs to be moved during the processing, the second drive motor 31 drives the second lead screw 33 to rotate, so that the second lead screw 33 and the transverse slide 34 on the guide slide rod 32 can move laterally, so that the longitudinal slide 35 drives the longitudinal slide 5 and the vertical moving component 6 to move laterally, thus meeting the needs of the machining tool 40. When the machining tool 40 needs to move longitudinally, the longitudinal slide 5 drives the vertical moving component 6 to move back and forth, thus meeting the processing needs of the machining tool 40 at different positions of the frame 7. When the machining tool 40 needs to process the frame 7 at different depths, the third drive motor 61 drives the vertical lead screw 62 to rotate, so that the vertical slide 41 reaches the top and the machining tool 40 slides up and down along the edge of the U-shaped frame 60, thus meeting the processing needs of the machining tool 40.

[0038] As a further explanation of the above embodiments: each motor, electric actuator and other drive element is controlled by a controller; the operating program is set by various parameters of the product and processing requirements, and is uniformly controlled by the controller; the controller can be Siemens S7-1200 / 1500 or Mitsubishi FX5U.

[0039] Controlling the coordinated operation of various driving components through a controller is an existing technology, and its specific principles will not be elaborated here.

[0040] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, firstly, two upright plates 27 are fixed to the slide plate 21 by pressure blocks 211. Then, the carrier plate 24 and the model platform 25 are fixedly installed on the upright plates 27. The electric push cylinder 210 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the slide plate 21, and the push rod of the electric push cylinder 210 passes through the slide plate 21, the carrier plate 24 and the model platform 25. A pressure plate 29 is fixedly installed at the top of the push rod of the electric push cylinder 210. Through the cooperation of the pressure plate 29 and the model platform 25, the frame 7 is effectively clamped and fixed.

[0041] The two ends of the pressure plate 29 are fitted with the protruding positions on the inner side of the frame 7, which effectively avoids obstructing the outer edge of the frame 7 and ensures that the machining tool 40 moves along the edge of the frame 7 as a whole during the machining process, thus ensuring the machining quality and efficiency of the frame 7.

[0042] During machining, the slide plate 21 moves along the guide rod 26 via the carriage 28 to the bottom of the machining tool 40, which effectively reduces the stroke of the machining tool 40;

[0043] During the machining process, when the position of the machining tool 40 needs to be moved, the second drive motor 31 drives the second lead screw 33 to rotate, thereby enabling the second lead screw 33 and the transverse slide 34 on the guide slide 32 to move laterally. This enables the longitudinal slide 35 to drive the longitudinal slide 5 and the vertical moving assembly 6 to move laterally, thus meeting the needs of the machining tool 40. When the machining tool 40 needs to move longitudinally, the longitudinal slide 5 drives the vertical moving assembly 6 to move back and forth, thus meeting the machining tool 40's machining needs at different positions on the frame 7. When the machining tool 40 needs to machine the frame 7 to different depths, the third drive motor 61 drives the vertical lead screw 62 to rotate, enabling the vertical slide plate 41 to reach the top and the machining tool 40 to slide up and down along the edge of the U-shaped frame 60, thus meeting the machining needs of the machining tool 40.
