Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photopolymerization printing technology, and in particular to an ACF release film box for photopolymerization printing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Photopolymer 3D printers utilize light of specific wavelengths, typically ultraviolet light or laser light, to irradiate liquid photosensitive resin, causing it to solidify rapidly. By irradiating and curing resin layer by layer, a three-dimensional solid model is ultimately formed. Existing photopolymer printing equipment requires the delivery of photosensitive resin to a designated location on the printing table. To protect the lifespan of the printing table and equipment, a material tray is needed for convenient loading and unloading. Simultaneously, the printed model should not stick to the printing table for easy handling, and the material tray structure must not affect the photopolymer printing effect. Therefore, a convenient ACF release film material tray that does not compromise the photopolymer printing effect needs to be designed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ACF release film box for a photopolymerization printing device.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] An ACF release film cartridge for a photopolymerization printing device is disclosed. The ACF release film cartridge is applied to a printing platform and includes a cartridge body, an ACF film, and a clamping plate. The printing platform includes a main body, a linear guide, a lifting mechanism, and a printing table. The linear guide is vertically mounted on the main body. The lifting mechanism includes a ball screw, a slide block, and a print head. The ball screw is rotatably mounted on both ends of the linear guide via two mounting plates. The slide block has a rod hole and a sliding groove. The slide block is mounted on the ball screw through the rod hole and slidably mounted on the linear guide via the sliding groove. The print head is mounted on the slide block and positioned above the printing table. Fixing screws are provided around the printing table. The clamping plate is fixed to the printing table by the fixing screws. The ACF film is assembled on the clamping plate. The cartridge body covers the ACF film and the clamping plate, and has fixing parts at both ends, locked to the main body by screws. The cartridge body has a vertically connected material groove, and the print head moves up and down along the material groove.

[0006] Furthermore, the clamping plate is a ring-shaped plate structure with multiple screw holes that engage with screws on the machine body.

[0007] Furthermore, the printing table is equipped with a protective cover and a printing light source. The machine body has a groove, and the printing light source is installed in the groove and isolated from the outside world by the protective cover. The printing light source is placed below the clamping plate.

[0008] Furthermore, one side of the ACF film is a frosted surface and the other side is a smooth surface. The frosted surface is positioned downwards and towards the printing light source. The ACF film is provided with multiple limiting holes, which are positioned opposite to the screw holes.

[0009] Furthermore, the printhead is connected to a delivery pump via a tube, and the printhead is equipped with an output head through which photosensitive liquid is delivered to the ACF membrane and the cartridge.

[0010] Furthermore, the material box body, clamping plate, and print head are all made of aluminum alloy.

[0011] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism is also equipped with a motor, which is located inside the machine body. Its output part is connected to the ball screw, and drives the ball screw to rotate through the motor.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0013] This invention comprises an ACF film cartridge consisting of a clamping plate, an ACF film, and a cartridge body. The ACF film is characterized by its conductivity, excellent bonding performance, thinness, and lightweight. Its frosted surface faces the printing light source, while its smooth surface contacts the photosensitive liquid. This design ensures that the printing effect of the printing light source is not affected, and that the film can be quickly separated after printing without affecting subsequent printing operations. Furthermore, the cartridge body and clamping plate prevent deformation of the ACF film and avoid the leakage of the photosensitive liquid. This invention provides an ACF release film cartridge that is easy to use and does not affect the photocuring printing effect. Attached Figure Description

The printing platform 2 includes a body 21, a linear guide 22, a lifting mechanism 23, and a printing table 24. The linear guide 21 is vertically mounted on the body 21 and fixed to it by mounting brackets and screws. The lifting mechanism 23 includes a ball screw 231, a slide block 232, and a print head 233. The ball screw 231 is rotatably mounted on both ends of the linear guide 22 via two mounting plates 234. The slide block 232 has a rod hole and a sliding groove. The slide block 232 is mounted on the ball screw 231 through the rod hole and slidably mounted on the linear guide 22 through the sliding groove. The print head 233 is mounted on the slide 232 and placed above the print table 24. The print table 24 is surrounded by fixing screws 241 and mounted on the machine body 21. The clamping plate 13 is fixed to the print table by fixing screws. The ACF film 12 is assembled on the clamping plate 13. The material box body 11 covers the ACF film 12 and the clamping plate 13. It has fixing parts 14 at both ends. The fixing parts 14 have screw holes and are locked to the machine body 21 by screws. The machine body 21 has two fixing posts 15. The fixing parts 14 and fixing posts 15 are aligned and fixed by screws. The bottom of the material box body 11 has an opening that aligns with the screws. During installation, the screws are inserted into the openings, and the ACF film 12 is clamped by the upper and lower cooperation of the fixing posts 15, the material box body 11 and the clamping plate 13.

[0022] The material box body 11 is provided with a material groove that is connected vertically, and the print head 233 moves up and down along the material groove.

[0023] The clamping plate 13 is a ring-shaped plate structure with multiple screw holes that cooperate with screws on the body 21.

[0024] The machine body 21 is equipped with a controller, which controls the operation of the printing table 24 and the motor.

[0025] The printing table 24 is equipped with a protective cover and a printing light source. The machine body 21 has a groove, and the printing light source is installed in the groove and isolated from the outside by the protective cover. The printing light source is located below the clamping plate. The protective cover is a transparent glass or acrylic sheet. The printing light source is existing technology and is not limited in this embodiment.

[0026] One side of the ACF film 12 is a frosted surface and the other side is a smooth surface. The frosted surface is set downward and faces the printing light source. The ACF film 12 is provided with multiple limiting holes, which are positioned opposite to the screw holes.

[0027] The printhead 233 is connected to a delivery pump via a tube. The printhead 233 has an output head through which photosensitive liquid is delivered to the ACF membrane 12 and the material box 11. The photosensitive liquid is preferably a photosensitive resin. The delivery pump draws the corresponding liquid from the storage tank, which is existing technology and is not limited in this embodiment.

The ACF film 12 has the characteristics of conductivity, excellent bonding performance, thinness, and light weight. Its frosted surface faces the printing light source, and its smooth surface is in contact with the photosensitive liquid. On the one hand, it can ensure that it will not affect the printing effect of the printing light source, and on the other hand, it can be quickly separated after printing without affecting subsequent printing work. At the same time, the protection of the cartridge body 11 and the clamping plate 13 will prevent the ACF film from deforming and will not cause the photosensitive liquid to overflow. This realizes an ACF release film cartridge that is easy to use and does not affect the photocuring printing effect.
