Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a 3D printing device for customizing 3D printed antisnoring devices, comprising:

[0030] Chassis 1, with a door 11 on the front side wall of chassis 1;

[0031] Printing platform 2 is fixedly installed inside chassis 1;

[0032] Fixing base 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the upper side wall of printing platform 2;

[0033] Printing component 4 is installed inside the chassis 1. Printing component 4 can construct a three-dimensional entity by layering materials according to the three-dimensional model of the anti-snoring device.

[0034] The cleaning mechanism 5 is installed inside the fixed base 3 and is used to clean the surface of the printing platform 2.

[0035] The above structure enables the 3D printing of a customized anti-snoring device, and the printing platform 2 can be cleaned after printing is completed.

[0036] It should be noted that the printing component 4 is a mature existing technology. It obtains three-dimensional data by scanning the user's oral cavity and generates a model. After slicing, resin or plastic materials are deposited layer by layer by means of photopolymerization or fused deposition modeling to accurately print a customized antisnoring device that fits the user's oral cavity structure. Its specific structure and principle will not be elaborated here.

[0037] The cleaning mechanism 5 includes a movable block 51, which is slidably disposed within a fixed base 3. A drive motor 52 is mounted on one outer wall of the fixed base 3. The output shaft of the drive motor 52 extends into the fixed base 3 and is fixedly connected to a screw 53. The other end of the screw 53 is threaded through the movable block 51 and rotatably connected to the other inner wall of the fixed base 3. A rotating shaft 54 ​​is rotatably disposed on one side wall of the movable block 51. A follower disk 55 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 54, and a gear 56 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 54. The lower inner wall of the fixed base 3... A rack 57 that meshes with a gear 56 is fixedly connected to the upper part. Guide plates 58 are fixedly connected to one side wall of the moving block 51 and to both sides of the rotating shaft 54. Limiting rods 59 are slidably inserted on the guide plates 58. A reciprocating seat 510 is fixedly connected between the two limiting rods 59. A scraper 511 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the reciprocating seat 510. A drive shaft 551 is provided at the edge of one side wall of the follower disk 55. A groove 5101 is opened on the side wall of the reciprocating seat 510 near the follower disk 55. The drive shaft 551 is located in the groove 5101.

[0038] With the above structure, the printing platform 2 can be thoroughly cleaned after printing without manual intervention, which significantly reduces labor costs and improves work efficiency. During the cleaning process, the scraper 511 will move back and forth continuously in short distances. This method can generate a continuous and strong scraping force, which can more effectively remove stubborn debris adhering to the printing platform 2 and ensure the cleanliness of the printing platform 2.

[0039] The lower inner wall of the chassis 1 is provided with a collection shell 6 for collecting scraped material.

[0040] A positioning block 61 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom wall of the collection shell 6 for positioning the collection shell 6.

[0041] The lower inner wall of the casing 1 is provided with a positioning groove 12 that is compatible with the positioning block 61. After the positioning block 61 is inserted into the positioning groove 12, it can position the collection shell 6 to prevent it from sliding and enable it to accurately catch the debris that is cleaned up.

[0042] The printing platform 2 has a feeding ramp 21 fixedly connected to the side wall away from the drive motor 52, so that the scraped material enters the collection shell 6 through the feeding ramp 21.

[0043] It should be noted that this utility model is a 3D printing device for customizing a 3D printed anti-snoring device. After printing is completed, the drive motor 52 is started. The output shaft of the drive motor 52 drives the screw 53 to rotate. When the screw 53 rotates, it can cause the moving block 51 to drive the rotating shaft 54 ​​to move. Under the action of the rack 57, the gear 56 will drive the rotating shaft 54 ​​and the follower disk 55 to rotate. When the follower disk 55 rotates, it causes the drive shaft 551 to rotate. Under the action of the slide groove 5101 and the limiting rod 59, the reciprocating seat 510 will continuously shorten as the moving block 51 moves. The moving block 51 moves back and forth, thereby driving the scraper 511 to move back and forth, so that the scraper 511 scrapes off the debris adhering to the printing platform 2. As the moving block 51 moves, the scraper 511 scrapes the debris onto the discharge ramp 21. The debris falls into the collection shell 6 through the discharge ramp 21 for unified collection. Both ends of the screw 53 have limit switches. When the moving block 51 moves to the end of the screw 53, it will trigger the limit switch, causing the drive motor 52 to stop. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. After cleaning is completed, the drive motor 52 is controlled to reverse, so that the scraper 511 is reset.

[0044] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
