[0003] During the printing process, the temperature of the heating substrate needs to be precisely controlled according to the characteristics of the metal material in order to optimize the solidification structure of the metal material, reduce stress and deformation, and improve the quality and performance of the printed parts. Heating substrates are available in multiple specifications and power to correspond to different metal materials, so they need to be replaced during use. However, existing heating substrates are mostly installed by placing them directly, which can cause the heating substrate to shift during the printing process, greatly affecting the precision of the parts.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a heating substrate for metal printers to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

A linkage base 5 is slidably installed on the guide post 9, and the bottom of the linkage base 5 is fixedly connected to the top end of the support spring 8, so as to facilitate the resetting of the linkage base 5.

[0024] In this embodiment, linkage slots are provided on both sides of the linkage base 5, and lifting metal blocks 7 are rotatably installed on the inner side of the two linkage slots. Two fixing columns 6 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of one side of the positioning slot.

One end of the two lifting metal blocks 7 is in contact with the same heat insulation baffle 3. The heat insulation baffle 3 can be raised and lowered by the two lifting metal blocks 7.

[0025] In this embodiment, limiting grooves are provided on both sides of the positioning base 4 to facilitate clamping and limiting the positioning base 4.

[0026] In this embodiment, the positioning mechanism includes a cylinder 11, a movable base 12, a movable column 13, a crank assembly, and a clamping assembly. The cylinder 11 is fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the positioning housing 10. The movable base 12 is fixedly installed on the output end of the cylinder 11. A movable groove is opened on one side of the movable base 12. Two movable columns 13 are fixedly installed on the inner side of the movable groove. A crank assembly is provided on each of the two movable columns 13. A clamping assembly is provided at one end of each of the two crank assemblies.

[0027] In this embodiment, the crank assembly includes a crank 14 and a clamping post 16. The crank 14 is rotatably sleeved on the moving post 13, and the clamping post 16 is fixedly inserted through one side of the crank 14.

[0028] In this embodiment, the clamp assembly includes a positioning shaft 15 and a clamp 17. The positioning shaft 15 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the positioning housing 10.

[0029] Working principle: During part printing, the operator selects the heating base 2 with the appropriate power based on the metal material, aligns the positioning hole on the positioning base 4 at its bottom with the guide post 9, and then places the positioning base 4 onto the guide post 9. At this time, the positioning base 4 falls due to inertia, pressing against the linkage base 5. The linkage base 5 moves downward, causing the two lifting metal blocks 7 to move. Both lifting metal blocks 7 rotate and are fitted onto their corresponding fixed posts 6. Therefore, the two lifting metal blocks 7 rotate around their corresponding fixed posts 6 as the center. Both lifting metal blocks 7 contact the same heat insulation baffle 3, thus the rotation of the two lifting metal blocks 7 causes the same heat insulation baffle to rotate. 3. Moving upwards can effectively prevent the heat of the heating substrate 2 from being lost rapidly during the processing of the parts. When the positioning base 4 moves to the designated position, the cylinder 11 is activated. The cylinder 11 drives the moving base 12 to move. The moving base 12 drives the two moving columns 13 to move. The two moving columns 13 drive the corresponding cranks 14 to move. The two cranks 14 drive the corresponding clamping columns 16 to move, which in turn drives the corresponding clamps 17 to move. However, both clamps 17 are rotated and sleeved on the corresponding positioning shaft 15. Therefore, the two clamps 17 rotate around the corresponding positioning shaft 15 as the center to clamp the positioning base 4, thereby realizing the positioning of the heating substrate 2.

[0030] The technological advancements of this invention compared to existing technologies are: it can prevent the heating substrate 2 from shifting during the printing process, thus increasing the stability of the printing process; at the same time, the heat insulation baffle 3 can effectively prevent the rapid loss of heat from the heating substrate 2, thus increasing the practicality of the equipment.
