Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of 3D printing box technology, and more specifically, it relates to a sand-leakage prevention component for a sand mold 3D printing box. Background Technology
[0002] The raw material used in sand mold 3D printing equipment is mainly silica sand, with a mesh size ranging from 200 mesh to 90 mesh and a pore size of approximately 0.074 mm to 0.9 mm. In the actual working process, the platform inside the 3D printing work box descends layer by layer to complete the entire printing work.
[0003] The existing printing platform's vertical movement mechanism generally uses a screw drive. Using a screw drive to control the printing platform's vertical movement allows for more precise control of the printing platform's displacement distance. However, using a screw drive has the following drawbacks: the existing screw drive requires sliding grooves to be opened on both sides of the printing chamber. This inevitably causes sand on the printing platform to leak out through the sliding grooves to the bottom of the chamber during use. If the sand cannot be discharged for a long time, it will accumulate at the bottom of the chamber, preventing the lifting bottom from returning to zero completely, thus affecting the entire printing process. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a sand-leakage prevention component for sand mold 3D printing boxes, in which a flexible steel belt can seal the gaps on both sides during the lifting and lowering motion of the printing sand box platform.

A winding shaft is rotatably connected between the two vertical plates of the n-type mounting seat. A spring is provided between the winding shaft and the n-type mounting seat. A flexible steel strip is wound on the outer surface of the winding shaft. An inclined groove communicating with the groove is formed on the upper surface of the fixed sliders. The other side of the flexible steel strip extends into the groove through the inclined groove and connects to the lower surface of the blocking block. The flexible steel strip fits against the inner wall of the groove and blocks the groove.

[0022] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the relevant utility model and not intended to limit the scope of the utility model. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0023] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0025] Specifically, it refers to a sand-leakage prevention component for a sand mold 3D printing box, including a printing box 1, an inner box 2 inside the printing box 1, the inner box 2 being hollow inside and open at the top, a platform 3 slidably connected inside the inner box 2, the outer surface of the platform 3 being in contact with the inner wall of the inner box 2, two grooves 4 extending out of their outer surfaces on the left and right inner walls of the inner box 2, two fixed sliders 5 on the left and right sides of the lower surface of the platform 3, the other side of the two fixed sliders 5 extending out of the outer side of the inner box 2 through the two grooves 4 respectively, and being able to slide within the grooves 4, a connecting plate 6 is provided on the side of the two fixed sliders 5 located outside the inner box 2, screws 8 are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the inner box 2, a threaded sleeve 7 threaded onto the outer surface of the screw 8 is provided on the side of the connecting plate 6 near the screw 8, and a motor transmission assembly for controlling the rotation of the screw 8 is provided at the bottom of the inner box 2.
[0026] In use, the motor transmission assembly controls the screw 8 to rotate, so the threaded sleeve 7 drives the connecting plate 6 to move up or down under the transmission of the screw 8 thread. Therefore, the platform 3 can move up or down synchronously with the fixed slider 5, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the platform 3 to move up and down.
[0027] The top of the slide 4 is provided with a blocking block 9 for limiting the position. An n-shaped mounting seat 10 is provided on the lower surface of the platform 3 near the fixed slider 5. The n-shaped mounting seat 10 and the fixed slider 5 are in the same horizontal position. A winding shaft 11 is rotatably connected between the two vertical plates of the n-shaped mounting seat 10. A spring is provided between the winding shaft 11 and the n-shaped mounting seat 10. A flexible steel strip 12 is wound on the outer surface of the winding shaft 11. An inclined slide chute communicating with the slide 4 is opened on the upper surface of the fixed slider 5. The other side of the flexible steel strip 12 extends into the slide 4 through the inclined slide chute and is connected to the lower surface of the blocking block 9. The flexible steel strip 12 fits against the inner wall of the slide 4 and blocks the slide 4.
[0028] During use, as the platform 3 moves downward, it exerts tension on the flexible steel belt 12. At this time, the winding shaft 11 rotates, and the spring is tightened. Simultaneously, the flexible steel belt 12 slides within the groove 4. When the platform 3 moves upward, the spring drives the winding shaft 11 to reverse, and the winding shaft 11 winds up the flexible steel belt 12. This structure allows the flexible steel belt 12 to seal the gaps on both sides during the lifting and lowering of the printing sand box platform, solving the sand leakage problem and ensuring the effectiveness of the 3D printing box.
[0029] A guide shaft 13 is rotatably connected between the inner walls of the inclined chute and the two sides of the chute 4. The flexible steel belt 12 is connected to the lower side of the guide shaft 13. Therefore, the guide shaft 13 restricts the flexible steel belt 12, so that the side of the flexible steel belt 12 that extends into the chute 4 remains straight and taut, thus ensuring the sealing effect of the chute 4.
[0030] An inclined scraper 14 is installed in the inclined groove of the fixed slider 5. The inclined scraper 14 is located above the guide shaft 13. One side of the inclined scraper 14 contacts and slides against the inner surface of the flexible steel strip 12. The other side of the inclined scraper 14 extends out of the inclined groove of the fixed slider 5. A discharge plate 15 is installed on the side of the inclined scraper 14 outside the fixed slider 5. The discharge plate 15 has a discharge groove that is inclined forward and backward. During use, when the flexible steel strip 12 is wound by the winding shaft 11, the inclined scraper 14 can scrape off the dust attached to the flexible steel strip 12, and the scraped-off impurities fall off at the same time. The inclined scraper 14 extends and slides onto the discharge plate 15. Since the discharge plate 15 has a front-to-back inclined discharge groove, the dust that rolls onto the discharge plate 15 rolls forward or backward, thus preventing impurities from falling back onto the flexible steel strip 12. With the above structure, impurities attached to the inner side of the flexible steel strip 12 can be scraped off when the flexible steel strip 12 is wound up, preventing these impurities from causing indentations or damage to the flexible steel strip 12 as it is wound up, and further ensuring the service life of the flexible steel strip 12.
[0031] A rotating shaft 16 located below the flexible steel belt 12 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the inclined groove of the fixed slider 5. A contact wheel 17 is sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 16. The outer surface of the contact wheel 17 contacts the lower surface of the flexible steel belt 12. When the flexible steel belt 12 is being conveyed, the contact wheel 17 rotates under the action of friction, and the rotating shaft 16 rotates synchronously with the contact wheel 17.
[0032] Meanwhile, the outer surface of the contact wheel 17 is provided with a friction layer to increase friction, ensuring the stability of the contact wheel 17 during the conveying process of the flexible steel belt 12.
[0033] A mounting shaft 19 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the inclined groove of the fixed slider 5. A swing plate 20 is sleeved on the outer surface of the mounting shaft 19. One side of the swing plate 20 is located below the rotating shaft 16. A cam 18 is sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 16. The outer surface of the cam 18 contacts and slides with the upper surface of one side of the swing plate 20. A striking ball 21 is provided on the upper surface of the other side of the swing plate 20.
[0034] During use, the rotation of the rotating shaft 16 drives the cam 18 to rotate synchronously. The cam 18 will exert a thrust on one side of the swing plate 20, causing the swing plate 20 to rotate clockwise around the mounting shaft 19. At this time, the swing plate 20 drives the striking ball 21 to strike the bottom of the flexible steel strip 12, causing the flexible steel strip 12 to vibrate. In this way, the impurities attached to the outer surface of the flexible steel strip 12 can be dislodged under the action of vibration, further ensuring the cleaning effect of the flexible steel strip 12.
[0035] The striking ball 21 is made of elastic material, which can reduce the impact on the flexible steel strip 12 and avoid the problem of dents appearing when the striking ball 21 strikes the flexible steel strip 12.
[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and an explanation of the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the utility model involved in this application is not limited to the technical solutions formed by specific combinations of the above-described technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by arbitrary combinations of the above-described technical features or their equivalents without departing from the inventive concept. For example, technical solutions formed by substituting the above-described features with (but not limited to) technical features with similar functions disclosed in this application.
