Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of peeling device technology, specifically a peeling device for a support structure used in 3D printing. Background Technology

[0002] In the 3D printing process, in order to adapt to the printing requirements of different heights, when printing objects that are tall and have a high-angled surface, a vertical support rod is usually printed first to support the object before it is completely solidified.

[0003] A 3D printing support structure stripping device is used to remove excess support structures from the printed object after it has dried. Since the printed object does not have a specific shape, the support structure is usually stripped by cutting with sharp objects such as knives or scissors after printing.

[0004] However, when using sharp objects such as knives and scissors to cut and peel, a cross-section will appear on the peeling surface. If the peeling surface is irregular in shape, the user needs to continue cutting to construct the shape. Moreover, the cutting process will cause debris to fly around, making peeling extremely troublesome.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a support structure peeling device for 3D printing to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this application to solve its technical problem is: a support structure peeling device for 3D printing, including a peeling structure and a collection structure. The peeling structure includes a handheld rod, a drive block is installed on the top of the handheld rod, a driver is installed inside the drive block, a transmission rod is installed on the output shaft of the driver, and a cutting disc is installed on the outer wall of the top of the transmission rod. The collection structure includes a chamber block, a turbofan is installed inside the chamber block, a connecting pipe is installed on the top of the chamber block, and a collection box located on one side of the cutting disc is installed at the other end of the connecting pipe.

The collection structure 2 includes a chamber block 201, a turbofan 210 is mounted inside the chamber block 201, a connecting pipe 203 is mounted on the top of the chamber block 201, and a collection box 204 located on one side of the cutting disc 105 is mounted at the other end of the connecting pipe 203.

[0025] A mounting head 104 is mounted on the top of the drive block 103. A cutting disc 105 is provided on the top of the mounting head 104. A transmission rod 107 extends through the mounting head 104 to the outside of the mounting head 104. Locking caps 108 are provided on the top and bottom of the cutting disc 105. The locking caps 108 are mounted on the transmission rod 107. The two locking caps 108 fix the cutting disc 105. A battery slot is provided inside the hand handle 101. A bottom cover 102 is installed on the bottom of the hand handle 101.

[0026] The compartment block 201 has a collection compartment and a negative pressure compartment inside, which are connected. A first gear 206 is installed inside the mounting head 104 on the transmission rod 107. The outer wall of the first gear 206 is provided with a toothed belt 207. A second gear 208 is provided on the other side of the toothed belt 207. A connecting rod 209 is installed on the top of the second gear 208. A turbofan 210 located inside the negative pressure chamber is installed on the top of the connecting rod 209. An exhaust port 211 is opened on one side of the compartment block 201. A drive rod 215 is installed on the top of the turbofan 210. A mounting bracket 212 fixedly connected to the turbofan 210 is provided in the middle of the drive rod 215. A grid plate 213 installed on the top of the inner wall of the negative pressure chamber is provided on the top of the grid plate 213. A scraper 214 fixedly connected to the drive rod 215 is provided on the top of the grid plate 213.

[0027] The exhaust port 211 is located in the same position as the turbofan 210.

[0028] A cover plate 202 is provided on one side of the compartment block 201, and a rubber head is provided on the side of the cover plate 202 near the compartment block 201.

[0029] The outer wall of the handheld handle 101 is provided with several anti-slip rings.

[0030] Working principle:

[0031] Before using the device, first check all its components to ensure that they work properly and that the device can operate normally.

[0032] When using the device, the user first opens the bottom cover 102 and installs its battery inside the handheld rod 101. After the battery is installed, the user removes the printed model from the 3D printer. The user then picks up the device and starts it. The driver 106 is powered on and rotates the transmission rod 107. The rotation of the transmission rod 107 rotates the cutting disc 105. The user holds the device to cut and polish the support structure, detaching it from the 3D printed model.

[0033] When the transmission rod 107 rotates, it drives the first gear 206 to rotate. The rotation of the first gear 206 transmits its rotational force to the second gear 208 through the toothed belt 207. The rotation of the second gear 208 drives the connecting rod 209 to rotate, and the rotation of the connecting rod 209 drives the turbofan 210 to rotate. The rotation of the turbofan 210 creates negative pressure in the negative pressure chamber and the collection chamber. Air enters the two chambers through the connecting pipe 203 and the collection box 204. When air is drawn in, the dust generated by grinding also enters. After the dust enters, it is isolated by the mesh plate 213, and the scraper 214 continuously scrapes the mesh plate 213 to prevent accumulation.

[0034] With the peeling structure 1, it is possible to grind the material while cutting, and use 205 instead of a sharp object for cutting, making it easy for the user to detach the model from the support structure and providing convenience for the user.

[0035] By incorporating a collection structure 2, the powder and debris generated during the cutting process of the stripping structure 1 are further optimized, enabling the collection of powder and debris during cutting and preventing the problem of powder and debris flying around.

[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
