Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of 3D printing equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic plate changing and receiving device for 3D printing. Background Technology

[0002] As a manufacturing technology, 3D printing technology has evolved from early rapid prototyping technology to its current widespread application. It has demonstrated strong application potential and wide applicability in design and manufacturing fields such as jewelry design, footwear design and manufacturing, industrial design, architectural design, engineering design and construction, and automobile design and manufacturing, as well as in many other fields such as aerospace and dentistry.

[0003] To further improve production efficiency, many users choose to equip their equipment with remote control or automatic board changing modules.

[0004] In practice, these replaced printing plates and the parts they carry are usually simply dumped into ordinary boxes or similar containers for reception. These common receiving devices generally lack effective parts separation and collection mechanisms, causing parts to easily scatter and become disorderly during reception. This not only greatly increases the complexity and time cost of subsequent sorting and assembly work, but also increases the risk of damage to parts and printing plates during the replacement process. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic plate-changing receiving device for 3D printing to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0006] This utility model provides an automatic plate changing and receiving device for 3D printing, including a housing. Multiple flip plates that can be flipped into an inclined parallel shape are hinged and installed inside the housing. Placement slots are opened on the flip plates. Linkage pull ropes are provided between the innermost flip plate and the opposite side wall of the housing and between adjacent flip plates. A partition space for placing printing plates carrying parts is provided between adjacent flip plates that are inclined parallel.

[0007] Furthermore, a hinge shaft is provided near the bottom of the flap.

[0008] Furthermore, the hinge shaft is detachably connected to the flap.

[0009] Furthermore, the side wall of the box body perpendicular to the flap is provided with a hinge hole that is rotatably connected to the hinge shaft.

[0010] Furthermore, the side of the flap is provided with a hinge seat for mounting the hinge shaft.

[0011] Furthermore, the hinge shaft extends through the hinge hole to the outside of the housing and is connected to a limit block.

[0012] Furthermore, a limit pin is installed on the side wall of the box away from the flip plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the side wall of the box body away from the flip plate is provided with multiple limiting holes for installing the limiting pin.

[0014] Furthermore, the limiting pin is detachably connected to the limiting hole.

[0015] Furthermore, the flip plate is provided with mounting holes for installing the linkage pull rope.

[0016] This invention uses a printing plate with parts to slide into the housing and press down on a linkage rope, causing multiple flip plates to flip in tandem. After flipping, the space between adjacent flip plates, which are tilted and parallel, facilitates the storage of another printing plate carrying parts that has been replaced. This allows parts to be stored in an orderly manner during the receiving process, reducing the tedious work and time wasted in subsequent sorting, and effectively preventing damage to parts and printing plates during the replacement process.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figures 1-4 As shown:

[0030] An automatic plate changing receiving device for 3D printing includes a housing 1. A first flip plate 21, a second flip plate 22, and a third flip plate 23 are vertically placed inside the housing 1. The first flip plate 21 is close to the side wall of the housing 1, the third flip plate 23 is close to the middle of the housing 1, and the second flip plate 22 is located between the first flip plate 21 and the second flip plate 22. The heights of the first flip plate 21, the second flip plate 22, and the third flip plate 23 decrease sequentially.

[0031] The first flap 21, the second flap 22 and the third flap 23 can be flipped into an inclined parallel shape, and a partition space for placing printing plates and parts is provided between adjacent flaps after flipping.

[0032] Placement slots are provided on the surface of the first flap 21 near the side wall of the box 1, the surface of the second flap 22 near the first flap 21, and the surface of the third flap 23 near the second flap 22.

[0033] The first flap 21, the second flap 22, and the third flap 23 are respectively provided with a first hinge shaft 31, a second hinge shaft 32, and a third hinge shaft 33 near the bottom.

[0034] The side wall of the housing 1, which is perpendicular to the flap, is provided with multiple hinge holes 11 that are rotatably connected to the hinge shaft. The hinge holes 11 are arranged in seven rows and three columns.

[0035] The first hinge shaft 31 is hinged in the hinge hole 11 of the first column of the third row, the second hinge shaft 32 is hinged in the hinge hole 11 of the second column of the fifth row, and the third hinge shaft 33 is hinged in the hinge hole 11 of the third column of the seventh row.

[0036] The side of the flap is provided with a hinge seat 51 for mounting the hinge shaft.

[0037] The hinge shaft extends through the hinge hole 11 to the outside of the housing 1 and is connected to the limit block 52.

[0038] For ease of installation, the limit block 52, the hinge shaft, and the hinge seat 51 can be configured as a detachable threaded connection.

[0039] Multiple limiting holes 12 are provided on the side wall of the box body 1 that is perpendicular to the flap and away from the flap. The limiting holes 12 are arranged in seven rows and three columns.

[0040] A first limiting pin 41 is installed in the limiting hole 12 located in the third column of the first row, a second limiting pin 42 is installed in the limiting hole 12 located in the third column of the third row, and a third limiting pin 43 is installed in the limiting hole 12 located in the third column of the fifth row.

[0041] The first limiting pin 41, the second limiting pin 42 and the third limiting pin 43 are detachably connected to the corresponding limiting holes 12.

[0042] The first flap 21, the second flap 22 and the third flap 23 are connected by a linkage pull rope 54. The first flap 21, the second flap 22 and the third flap 23 are provided with mounting holes 53 for installing the linkage pull rope 54.

[0043] Working principle:

[0044] When the printer's automatic plate changing device is triggered, the printing plate falls under gravity and slides into the partition space between the third flip plate 23 and the housing 1. The printing plate presses down on the linkage rope 54 between the third flip plate 23 and the housing 1. The third flip plate 23 flips into an inclined position under the pull of the linkage rope 54. The third flip plate 23 is stabilized to a preset angle under the mechanical constraint of the third limit pin 43. After the third flip plate 23 flips, the third flip plate 23 and the second flip plate 22 form a partition space for carrying the subsequently replaced printing plate and parts. When the second printing plate slides into this partition space, it presses down on the linkage rope 54 between the third flip plate 23 and the second flip plate 22. The second flip plate 22 rotates and flips into an inclined position. The second flip plate 22 is stabilized to a preset angle under the mechanical constraint of the second limit pin 42. The working process of the first flip plate 21 is the same.

[0045] The innermost third flap forms an independent and stable separation space between itself and the box, as well as between adjacent flaps, ensuring that the current printing plate and the parts it carries can accurately fall into the corresponding storage area and be physically isolated from the printing plates and parts of the previous and subsequent batches, avoiding the risk of mixed parts.

[0046] The height of the flip-plate in this device can be flexibly adjusted by the limit pins to adapt to the height requirements of different printed parts. The geometric dimensions of the box 1, the flip-plate, and the placement slot are customized according to the specifications of the printing plate, realizing efficient separation of the printing plate and the parts during the automatic plate changing process of 3D printing, and providing reliable batch management and quality assurance for continuous and large-scale production.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] like Figure 5 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that a baffle 61 is installed on the flip plate in this embodiment.

[0049] The baffle 61 is installed at the bottom edge of the placement slot of the flip plate by a torsion spring 62, and the top of the baffle 61 near the upper flip plate is set with an arc chamfer.

[0050] When the flap is in the initial vertical position, the baffle 61 is stored in the placement slot; when the flap is flipped, the baffle 61 is always in contact with the bottom surface of the flap above under the action of the torsion spring 62.

[0051] By setting baffle 61, the partition space between adjacent flip panels that are tilted after flipping is provided with bottom support, which prevents the parts stored in the partition space from slipping off, and at the same time prevents the parts from falling into the adjacent flip panels or getting stuck in the space between the flip panels and the box 1, which would cause the flip panels to be unable to return to their original position.

[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
