[0052] The hook unit 5 is used to hook the attachment block 6 to drive the printed build plate to slide out of the storage box 4; the second edge of the build platform hooks the attachment block 6 to drive the printed build plate to slide out of the storage box 4, thereby allowing the build platform to adsorb and fix the printed build plate.

[0053] Actuator 1 is connected to transmission unit 2, and transmission unit 2 is connected to movable top platform 3; the print head pushes actuator 1, causing transmission unit 2 to drive movable top platform 3 to lift upward and hook attachment block 6, thereby helping the print build plate to detach from the build platform.

[0057] Figure 3 This is a partial exploded application diagram of the automatic board replacement device for printing in this application embodiment. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this diagram mainly illustrates the detachable and separable configuration of the actuator 1, the movable top platform 3, and the storage box 4; combined with... Figure 2 In the 3D printer 100 shown in the figure, the actuator 1 can be detachably connected to the Z-axis column 103; the movable top platform 3 can be detachably connected to the right side of the base 101; and the storage box 4 can be detachably connected to the left side of the base 101.

[0058] Figure 4 This is a partial exploded application diagram of the automatic board replacement device for printing in this application embodiment. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this figure is... Figure 3 Based on this, the actuator 1, movable top platform 3, and storage box 4 are further disassembled;

[0059] Specifically, the actuator 1 includes: a fixed base 11, a lever 12, a tube end fixing groove 13, a lever shaft 121, and a roller 122; the fixed base 11 is detachably fixed to the Z-axis column 103 of the 3D printer; the lever 12 is connected to the transmission unit 2; the lever shaft 121 is connected to the fixed base 11; the lever 12 is movably connected to the fixed base 11 with the lever shaft 121 as the pivot point; the roller 122 is located at the end of the lever 12; the roller 122 is used to reduce friction; the tube end fixing groove 13 is located in the fixed base 11; combined with Figure 15 As you can see, one end of the conduit 22 is fixed to the tube end fixing groove 13.

[0060] Therefore when Figure 2 When the print head 106 moves laterally and pushes the lever 12, it can pull the lever with less effort by utilizing the lever principle. Figure 15 The pull wire 21 in the guide tube 22 shown drives the movable top platform 3 to lift upward, thereby realizing the mechanical triggering and lifting action.

[0061] In the figure, the storage box 4 includes: box body 41, connecting frame 42, connecting buckle 43, top return protrusion 411, and buffer tray 412;

[0062] Specifically, the housing 41 is used to hold the printing build plate with the additional block 6 fixed on it; the housing 41 is connected to the connecting frame 42; the connecting frame 42 is detachably fixed to the base 101 of the 3D printer 100 by the connecting buckle 43; and a back-top protrusion 411 is provided in the middle of the housing 41 to prevent the printing build plate from slipping due to friction contact when the build platform moves.

[0063] In the figure, the movable top platform 3 includes: a docking seat 31, a lifting frame 32, a sliding block 33, and a docking buckle 34; the docking seat 31 is detachably fixed to the base 101 of the 3D printer 100 via the docking buckle 34; the lifting frame 32 is movably connected to the docking seat 31; (Reference) Figure 15 It can be seen that the sliding block 33 is connected to the transmission unit 2; the sliding block 33 is movably connected to the docking seat 31; the sliding block 33 is used to drive the lifting frame 32 to lift upward.

[0064] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the hook unit in an embodiment of this application. As shown in the figure, this figure is mainly used to illustrate the structure and function of the hook unit 5. In this figure, the hook unit 5 mainly consists of two parts. The first part is detachably connected to the build platform 107 of the 3D printer 100 directly through a dovetail groove. The second part is axially connected to the first part and forms a movable hook structure that can deflect downwards and recover its deflection by means of a torsion spring. (Reference) Figure 7 It can be seen that the hook unit 5 moves toward the additional block 6 fixed to the edge of the printed construction board 108. The second part needs to be able to deflect downwards to prevent direct contact with the additional block 6, and needs to recover the deflection to ensure that it can hook onto the additional block 6.

[0065] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the installation and application of the additional block in an embodiment of this application. As shown in the figure, the additional block 6 can be fixed to the edge of the printing build plate by means of screws or other fixing methods; and in this application solution, in order to achieve continuous printing in an unattended manner, the entire printing build plate needs to be equipped with the additional block 6.

[0066] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the hook unit hooking the additional block in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1As shown in the figure, the housing is not shown to clearly show the hook unit 5 hooking the attachment block 6; the hook unit 5 is fixed at the left edge of the build platform 107, that is, at the first edge; the left side of the printed build plate 108 is located in the housing position; therefore, after the build platform 107 moves to the left end position, it can hook the attachment block 6 through the hook unit 5, and drive the printed build plate 108 to slide to the right out of the housing position.

[0067] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the hook unit hooking the additional block in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this figure illustrates the position of the housing 41; the printed build plate 108 is placed in the housing 41; the build platform 107 moves on the guide rail 102; the build platform 107 can hook the attachment block 6 through the hook unit 5, which can drive the printed build plate 108 to slide out of the housing position in the direction of the arrow.

[0068] Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the application of the return bump in an embodiment of this application. As shown in the figure, a return bump 411 is provided in the middle of the housing 41; it is used to prevent the printed build plate from slipping due to frictional contact during the movement of the build platform. This is because if the build platform 107 hooks and slides the printed build plate 108 out of the housing 41 through the hooking unit 5, then the build platform 107 and the printed build plate 108 are in a misaligned position. Therefore, after the printed build plate 108 has slid out about 1 / 2 of its area, the build platform 107 needs to retract. At this time, the printed build plate 108 bends downward due to deformation, causing the additional block 6 to contact the build platform 107 and generate friction. Therefore, in order to prevent the printed build plate 108 from slipping, the return bump 411 is needed to prevent it.

[0069] Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram illustrating how the printed build plate slides out of the storage compartment and attaches to the build platform in an embodiment of this application. As shown in the figure, the build platform 107 retracts to... Figure 9 The right edge of the build platform 107, i.e. the second edge, can hook the attachment block 6 to drive the printed build plate 108 to slide completely out of the storage box 4, so that the build platform 107 can adsorb and fix the printed build plate 108, i.e., the position shown in this figure.

[0070] Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram of the construction platform moving to the movable top platform according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in the figure, in conjunction with the situation in the figure above where the construction platform 107 adsorbs and fixes the printing construction plate 108, the 3D printer 100 can print the model on the printing construction plate 108; after printing is completed, the construction platform 107 moves along the guide rail 102 to the position shown in this figure, so that the printing construction plate 108 can be ready to detach.

[0071] Figure 12This is a schematic diagram of the active top platform lifting attachment block according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in the figure, after the 3D printer 100 completes printing, a shaped workpiece 200 is generated on its printing build plate 108; combined with Figure 15 It is understood that the print head 106 can push the lever 12, which drives the sliding block 33 through the pull wire 21, thereby driving the lifting frame 32 to lift upward and hook the attachment block 6, thus helping the print build plate 108 to detach from the build platform 107; at this time, the build platform 107 moves to the left along the guide rail 102, and the top of the lifting frame 32 can hook the attachment block 6; so that the print build plate 108 is completely detached from the build platform 107, thereby freeing up the suction position on the build platform 107 and preparing for the addition of a new print build plate 108.

[0072] Figure 13 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the buffer tray in an embodiment of this application. As shown in the figure, a back-returning protrusion 411 is provided in the middle of the housing 41; a buffer tray 412 is provided on the edge of the housing 41 in the sliding direction; the buffer tray 412 is used to reduce the impact noise when the printing build plate is adsorbed onto the build platform; specifically, the buffer tray 412 is movably connected to the housing, can be deflected downwards, and can be rebounded and reset by means of a spring; a transition step is also provided on the buffer tray 412 to buffer the adsorption impact.

[0073] Figure 14 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the application of the buffer tray in an embodiment of this application. As shown in the figure, the right edge of the build platform 107, i.e., the second edge, can hook the attachment block 6 to drive the printed build plate 108 to slide out of the storage box 4. In the final stage when the printed build plate 108 is about to completely detach from the storage box 4, the left edge of the printed build plate 108 overlaps with the buffer tray 412, and the distance between the left edge and the build platform 107 is reduced by the movement and deflection of the buffer tray 412. When the build platform 107 continues to move to the right, the printed build plate 108 completely detaches from the buffer tray 412 and is adsorbed onto the build platform 107. At this time, the adsorption impact and impact noise can be reduced at a smaller distance.

[0074] Figure 15 This is a schematic diagram of the mechanical actuation and drive according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in the figure, the actuator 1 illustrated in the figure includes: a fixed base 11, a lever 12, a tube end fixing groove 13, a lever shaft 121, and a roller 122; combined with Figure 1 It can be seen that the mounting base 11 is detachably fixed to the top of the Z-axis column 103 of the 3D printer 100;

[0076] In addition, the transmission unit 2 includes: a pull wire 21, a conduit 22, and a return spring 23; the pull wire 21 is disposed inside the conduit 22; one end of the pull wire 21 is connected to the lever 12, and the other end is connected to the sliding block 33; the conduit 22 can be used for force guidance; the conduit 22 can be made of fluoropolymer tubing to reduce friction; the right end of the pull wire 21 is connected to the sliding block 33; and the sliding block 33 is provided with protrusions 331, which are combined with... Figure 16 From the perspective of the tooth 331, it can act on the inclined surface 321 to drive the lifting frame 32 to lift upward; when the pull cable 21 is pulled, it can drive the sliding block 33 to move; when the pull cable 21 is loosened, the return spring 23 can push the sliding block 33 to reset; correspondingly, it can also drive the lever 12 to reset.

[0077] Therefore when Figure 2 When the print head 106 moves laterally and pushes the lever 12, it can pull the lever with less effort by utilizing the lever principle. Figure 15 The pull wire 21 in the guide tube 22 shown drives the movable top platform 3 to lift upward, thereby realizing the mechanical triggering and lifting action.

[0080] Specifically, the lever shaft 121 is connected to the fixed base 11; the lever 12 is movably connected to the fixed base 11 with the lever shaft 121 as the pivot point; the roller 122 is set at the end of the lever 12; the roller 122 is used to reduce friction; the trigger switch 14 is set at the fixed base 11; one end of the wire 24 is electrically connected to the trigger switch 14, and the other end is electrically connected to the servo motor 35; the servo motor 35 can directly drive the lifting frame 32 to lift upward with the help of the push rod 351 or cam at the shaft end, so as to realize mechanical triggering and lifting action.
