Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cleaning machine technology, and in particular relates to a 3D printed finished product cleaning machine. Background Technology
[0002] In today's era of rapid technological advancement, 3D printing technology, as an advanced manufacturing technique, is increasingly being applied across various fields, such as aerospace, medical, automotive manufacturing, industrial design, and cultural and creative industries. With the popularization of 3D printing technology, the quantity and variety of 3D printed products are also constantly increasing. During the 3D printing process, uncured resin, support materials, or other impurities often remain on the surface of the finished product. These impurities can affect the quality, performance, and appearance of the finished product, thus requiring cleaning.
[0003] Currently, traditional methods for cleaning 3D printed products mostly rely on manual cleaning or simple cleaning equipment. Manual cleaning is inefficient, labor-intensive, and produces inconsistent cleaning results, making it difficult to meet the demands of mass production. While some existing cleaning equipment can achieve a certain degree of automation, it still falls short in batch cleaning. Furthermore, existing cleaning equipment has shortcomings in the feeding and unloading processes. Before immersion in water, the finished products often need to be manually placed into the cleaning equipment one by one, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive; similarly, during unloading, the finished products also need to be manually removed one by one, increasing labor and time costs. Moreover, manual operation is susceptible to human error, leading to poor accuracy and stability in feeding and unloading.
[0004] To address these issues, we provide a 3D printed finished product cleaning machine. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a 3D printed finished product cleaning machine. By combining a rotating component, a cleaning component, and an automatic loading and unloading component, it solves the problems of low efficiency and inability to achieve automated batch cleaning in existing cleaning machines.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution.
[0007] This utility model relates to a 3D printed product cleaning machine, comprising a cleaning assembly. A rotating assembly is fixedly connected to one side of the cleaning assembly, and an automatic loading / unloading assembly is fixedly connected to the other side. The cleaning assembly includes a cleaning tank, with an ultrasonic cleaner fixedly connected to the bottom of the cleaning tank's inner cavity. A filter screen is fixedly connected to the top of the ultrasonic cleaner within the cleaning tank's inner cavity. The rotating assembly includes a support fixedly connected to one side of the cleaning tank, with a servo motor fixedly connected to the top of the support. The output shaft of the servo motor is fixedly connected to a turntable, and the axis of the turntable... An air inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the surface of the air inlet pipe, and a solenoid valve is connected to the surface of the solenoid valve. A cylinder is connected to the surface of the turntable on one side, and a clamping plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder. A fixing plate is provided on the other side of the clamping plate, and a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the turntable on one side. The automatic loading and unloading assembly includes a second servo motor fixedly connected to the surface of the cleaning tank. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second servo motor, and an electric push rod is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod. A vacuum suction cup is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod.
[0008] The present invention is further provided that each of the four corners of the bottom of the cleaning tank is fixedly connected with a pad, and the bottom of the pad is provided with anti-slip texture. The anti-slip texture design of the pad at the bottom of the cleaning tank enhances the stability of the equipment when it is placed and avoids displacement caused by vibration during the cleaning process.
[0009] The present invention is further configured such that a drain pipe is connected to the bottom of one side of the cleaning tank, and a valve is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the drain pipe. The combination of the drain pipe and the valve facilitates the centralized discharge and replacement of cleaning waste liquid, thereby improving maintenance convenience.
[0010] The present invention is further configured such that a controller is fixedly connected to the surface of the cleaning tank, and the controller is electrically connected to the electrical equipment through wires. The controller integrates the control functions of the electrical equipment to realize the intelligent operation of the linkage of various components and simplify the human-machine interaction process.
[0011] The present invention is further configured such that reinforcing ribs are fixedly connected to both the front and rear ends of the bottom of the support base, and one side of the reinforcing rib is fixedly connected to the cleaning tank. The reinforcing ribs enhance the connection strength between the support base and the cleaning tank and reduce the risk of structural vibration during high-speed rotation.
[0012] The present invention is further configured such that there are three cylinders, which are distributed equidistantly in a circle. The multiple sets of cylinders are evenly distributed to form a stable clamping structure, ensuring that the finished product is subjected to balanced force when the turntable rotates.
[0013] The present invention is further configured such that rubber pads are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the clamping plate and the fixing plate, and the surface of the rubber pads is provided with anti-slip texture. The anti-slip design of the rubber pads not only flexibly protects the surface of the finished product, but also prevents displacement caused by water flow impact during the cleaning process.
[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the inner cavity of the air inlet pipe is connected to the air outlet pipe of an external air pump through a bearing, and the vacuum suction cup is connected to an external vacuum pump through a vacuum hose. The connection design between the air inlet pipe and the vacuum suction cup ensures continuous air supply and vacuuming during rotation, thus ensuring the stability of the clamping and adsorption functions.
[0015] The present invention has the following beneficial effects.
[0016] 1. This utility model integrates a rotating component and an automatic loading and unloading component to construct a fully automated production chain of "automatic loading - batch cleaning - automatic unloading". The turntable of the rotating component is equipped with multiple sets of cylinder clamping structures, which can fix multiple 3D printed finished products at the same time. The rotation of the turntable realizes batch water entry and exit, avoiding the time-consuming problem of loading and unloading one by one in traditional equipment. The automatic loading and unloading component is driven by a servo motor to drive the linkage to the electric push rod, and works with the vacuum suction cup to accurately pick up the finished products and complete the feeding and picking according to the preset trajectory, completely replacing manual operation, greatly reducing labor costs and labor intensity, and is especially suitable for large-scale production scenarios.
[0017] 2. The cleaning component of this utility model adopts a double-layer design combining an ultrasonic cleaner and a filter screen. The high-frequency ultrasonic vibration can effectively remove residual impurities from the surface of the finished product, while the filter screen simultaneously intercepts the fallen impurities, avoiding secondary pollution. The clamping plate and fixing plate of the rotating component are equipped with anti-slip rubber pads, which form a flexible clamping force during the rotation of the turntable and the cleaning process. This ensures accurate positioning of the finished product and avoids surface damage caused by hard contact. The cylinder is connected to the air inlet pipe through a solenoid valve, which can dynamically adjust the clamping force according to the size of the finished product, making it compatible with the cleaning needs of products of different specifications and achieving stable control of cleaning quality.

Its top surface is covered with a removable filter screen 13 to collect impurities that fall off during the cleaning process and facilitate subsequent cleaning. A support base 21 is connected to the side wall of the cleaning chamber 11 via reinforcing ribs 29 to ensure stability when the servo motor drives the turntable 23 to rotate. An air inlet pipe 24 at the axis of the turntable 23 passes through the center of the turntable 23 and connects to an external air pump. Solenoid valves 25 distributed on the surface can independently control the start and stop of each cylinder 26. The cylinders 26 are distributed equidistantly in a circle. The output end of each cylinder 26 is connected to the clamping plate 27, forming a symmetrical clamping structure with the fixing plate 28 fixed on the surface of the turntable 23. The rubber pads on the opposite sides of the two are enhanced with anti-slip texture design to increase friction. The servo motor of the automatic loading and unloading component 3 is connected to the electric push rod 33 through the connecting rod 32, driving it to complete the combined motion of horizontal rotation and vertical lifting. The vacuum suction cup 34 at the end of the electric push rod 33 is connected to the external vacuum pump through the hose, and the stable adsorption and release of the finished product is achieved through the air pressure difference.
[0029] Example 2
[0030] Please see Figures 1-5 Based on Embodiment 1, pads are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the cleaning box 11. The bottom of the pads is provided with anti-slip texture. A drain pipe is connected to the bottom of one side of the cleaning box 11. A valve is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the drain pipe. A controller 14 is fixedly connected to the surface of the cleaning box 11. The controller 14 is electrically connected to electrical equipment through wires. Reinforcing ribs 29 are fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the bottom of the support base 21. One side of the reinforcing rib 29 is fixedly connected to the cleaning box 11. There are three cylinders 26, which are equidistantly distributed in a circle. Rubber pads are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the clamping plate 27 and the fixing plate 28.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: After the equipment is started, the vacuum suction cup 34 of the automatic loading and unloading component 3, in cooperation with the servo motor and the electric push rod 33, picks up the 3D printed finished product from the feeding station and transfers it to the turntable 23 of the rotating component 2. The cylinder 26 extends under the control of the solenoid valve 25, and the finished product is clamped by the rubber pads of the clamping plate 27 and the fixing plate 28. The turntable 23 rotates to the top of the cleaning tank 11, descends into the water, and the ultrasonic cleaner 12 starts to clean the finished product. The loose impurities are intercepted by the filter screen 13. After cleaning, the turntable 23 rotates out of the water, the cylinder 26 releases the clamping structure, and the vacuum suction cup 34 moves again to transfer the finished product to the unloading station. The whole process is realized by the controller 14 to realize the time-series linkage of each component without manual intervention, forming a closed-loop automated process of "loading-cleaning-unloading", which effectively meets the batch cleaning needs.
