Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of 3D printing technology, specifically a 3D printer platform cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] 3D printing is a technology that manufactures three-dimensional products by adding materials layer by layer using 3D printing equipment based on a designed 3D model. This layer-by-layer deposition modeling technology is also known as additive manufacturing. 3D printing integrates cutting-edge technologies from many fields such as digital modeling, electromechanical control, information technology, materials science and chemistry. It is a type of rapid prototyping technology and is hailed as a core technology of the "Third Industrial Revolution".

[0003] Because different materials are used for each print, and to ensure good adhesion between the first layer of material and the printing platform, the cleanliness of the printing platform must be guaranteed. Cleaning the platform ensures that there are no impurities and that the platform is level and stable. Simple cleaning can be done manually by wiping with a cloth dampened with alcohol or acetone. However, it is difficult to remove sticky residues manually, and manually wiping the platform can easily move it, causing changes in its levelness and position. The platform needs to be readjusted before each print, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, in view of the above situation, there is an urgent need to develop a 3D printer platform cleaning device to overcome the shortcomings in current practical applications.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0019] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2In one embodiment of this utility model, a 3D printer platform cleaning device includes: a support box 2; a locking component, which is symmetrically arranged and fixedly connected to the support box 2, used to cooperate with the printing platform 1 to complete the installation and locking of the support box 2; and a cleaning mechanism, which is connected to the support box 2 and used to cooperate with the installed support box 2 to complete multiple cleaning of the printing platform 1. The cleaning mechanism includes: a cleaning component, a moving component, and a transmission and control component. The cleaning component is located on the outside of the support box 2 and connected to the moving component located on the support box 2. A transmission and control component is also provided between the cleaning component and the moving component. The transmission and control component is slidably connected to the box wall of the support box 2 and is used to cooperate with the cleaning component to drive the moving component to achieve the lateral movement of the cleaning component.

[0020] In this embodiment, when the device is running, the support box 2 is placed outside the printing platform 1. The locking component works with the printing platform 1 to lock the support box 2 in place. The cleaning component is then brought into contact with the outer surface of the printing platform 1. When the cleaning component is running, the moving component is driven by the transmission and control component. The moving component works with the support box 2 to move the cleaning component laterally, thereby enabling the cleaning component to perform comprehensive automatic cleaning of the surface of the printing platform 1. This application, by setting up a cleaning mechanism and working with the locking component, can automatically clean the surface of the printing platform 1 using various methods. It is also easy to assemble and disassemble, which not only ensures the effectiveness of the cleaning but also avoids changes in the levelness and position of the printing platform 1 due to cleaning, saving time and effort.

[0022] In this embodiment, the motor 17 is a reversible motor, and the bottom end of the scraper 16 is slightly higher than the bottom end of the cleaning brush 15. Thus, when the scraper 16 abuts against the outer wall of the printing platform 1, the cleaning brush 15 can also maintain stable contact with the printing platform 1, enabling the cleaning brush 15 to effectively clean the printing platform 1. The motor 17 drives the drive rod 18 to rotate, and the drive rod 18 drives the cleaning brush 15 to rotate. During the rotation of the drive rod 18, it can also cooperate with the transmission and control component to drive the moving component. The moving component can drive the cleaning tank 14 to move. When the cleaning tank 14 moves, the scraper 16 first scrapes off the residue attached to the printing platform 1, and then the cleaning brush 15 cleans the printing platform 1 again to ensure the effectiveness of the cleaning. By setting the cleaning component, the surface of the printing platform 1 can be automatically cleaned by various means, ensuring the effectiveness of the cleaning.

[0026] In this embodiment, during the rotation of the drive rod 18, it can drive the transmission rod 19 to rotate via a bevel gear. The transmission rod 19 drives the driven rod 20 to rotate synchronously via a connecting block. The driven rod 20 drives the sleeve rod 24 to rotate via a bevel gear. The sleeve rod 24 drives the control rod 23 to rotate via a synchronizing block 25. The belt component includes pulleys fixedly connected to the outside of the control rod 23 and the threaded rod 12.
