Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of 3D printing technology, and in particular to a rapid leveling structure for a 3D printing molding platform. Background Technology

[0002] In the 3D printing process, the levelness of the forming platform plays a crucial role in the printing quality. If the forming platform is not level, it will lead to poor contact between the bottom of the printed part and the platform, resulting in problems such as warping and delamination, which will seriously affect the accuracy and quality of the printed part.

[0003] Traditional manual leveling with screws is not only complex and inefficient, but its accuracy is also easily affected by human factors, making it difficult to meet the high-precision and high-efficiency requirements of 3D printing. To address these issues, we propose a rapid leveling structure for 3D printing platforms. Utility Model Content

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5In this utility model, the 3D printing molding platform quick-leveling structure includes a support frame 1 and a molding platform body 7. Four electric push rods 2 and a control box 8 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support frame 1. Four temperature sensors 5 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the molding platform body 7. Four strip blocks 4 and four level sensors 6 are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the molding platform body 7. Each strip block 4 has a groove 17 on its bottom surface, and a slider 16 is slidably connected to the inner wall of each groove 17. Each slider 16 has a mounting plate 18 fixedly installed on its bottom surface, and a pin seat is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of each mounting plate 18. 3. Each pin seat 3 is hinged to the output end of the electric push rod 2 via a pin. The support frame 1 supports and fixes the four electric push rods 2. By installing four level sensors 6 on the bottom surface of the molding platform body 7, the level of the molding platform body 7 can be detected. By sliding the four sliders 16 to the four slide grooves 17 respectively, the output end of each electric push rod 2 can drive the molding platform body 7 to adjust its level when it extends or retracts. By installing four temperature sensors 5 on the upper surface of the molding platform body 7, the temperature of the upper surface of the molding platform body 7 can be effectively detected.

[0023] The inner wall of the control box 8 is fixedly equipped with a display 12, a data processor 13, a controller 14, and a communicator 15. A door 11 is hinged to the inner wall of the control box 8. A handle 9 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the door 11, and an observation window 10 is fixedly embedded on the outer surface of the door 11. Each temperature sensor 5 is electrically connected to the controller 14 via a wire, each level sensor 6 is electrically connected to the data processor 13 via a wire, the data processor 13 is electrically connected to the controller 14 via a wire, the controller 14 is electrically connected to the display 12 via a wire, and four electric push rods 2 are all electrically connected to the controller 14 via wires. The data processor 13 can receive and process the detection data from the four level sensors 6. The processed data can be transmitted to the controller 14. The controller 14 can autonomously control the extension and retraction of the output ends of the four electric push rods 2 based on the data transmitted from the data processor 13, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the horizontal state of the molding platform body 7. The detection data from the four temperature sensors 5 can be displayed on the display 12. The operator can monitor the temperature of the upper surface of the molding platform body 7 in real time based on the display results of the display 12. The communicator 15 can receive external control commands and provide feedback on the leveling status information.

[0024] The molding platform body 7 includes a platform layer 701, a heating layer 703 fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the platform layer 701, and a heat insulation layer 702 fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the heating layer 703. The support frame 1 includes a frame body 102, and two sets of support columns 101 fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the frame body 102. A connecting seat 103 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of each set of support columns 101. A set of assembly holes 104 are opened on the bottom surface of each connecting seat 103. The heating layer 703 is electrically connected to the controller 14 through wires. A heating layer 703 is installed on the bottom surface, allowing operators to easily adjust the temperature of the platform layer 701 according to the temperature requirements of different printing materials. By installing a heat insulation layer 702 on the bottom surface of the heating layer 703, heat transfer to the support frame 1 can be effectively reduced. Two sets of support columns 101 work together to support the frame 102. By opening a set of assembly holes 104 on the bottom surface of each connecting seat 103, operators can easily assemble the support frame 1 with the 3D printing machine frame using bolts.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Four level sensors 6 detect the level of the molding platform body 7 in real time and transmit the detection data to the data processor 13 via wires. After receiving the detection data from the four level sensors 6, the data processor 13 processes the detection data and transmits the processing result to the controller 14 via wires. After receiving the processed data, the controller 14 can autonomously control the extension and retraction of the output ends of the four electric push rods 2. The extension and retraction of the output end of each electric push rod 2 can be achieved by moving the pin seat 3 and the mounting plate 18. The movement of each mounting plate 18 can drive the slider 16 to slide in the slide groove 17. During the movement, each slider 16 can adjust the level of the molding platform body 7.
