Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printer technology, specifically to a printer support device that is easy to install and remove. Background Technology

[0002] A 3D printer is a machine that uses digital model files as a basis and employs adhesive materials such as plastics to construct objects layer by layer. Its structure mainly includes a control system, a mechanical system, a print head, a feeding system, and a forming platform. During 3D printing, the workpiece is placed on top of a moving tray, which moves along the Y-axis. If the workpiece is relatively tall, its top can easily wobble during movement. This wobble can cause layer misalignment in the printed workpiece, leading to a decrease in product quality. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a printer support device that is easy to install and remove, in order to solve the problems of existing printers.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0005] A printer support device that is easy to install and remove includes: a printer body, a movable tray movably mounted on the base of the printer body, a support mechanism provided on the movable tray, the support mechanism including two C-shaped springs, two sets of adjustment components mounted on the side of the movable tray, the two C-shaped springs respectively mounted on the corresponding adjustment components, and the adjustment components used to adjust the position and angle of the C-shaped springs.

[0006] Furthermore, both ends of the aforementioned C-shaped spring are integrally formed with curved portions, and the bending direction of the curved portions is opposite to the bending direction of the C-shaped spring.

[0007] Furthermore, a padding layer, which is a rubber layer, is fixed to the surface of the aforementioned C-shaped spring and the curved part.

[0008] Furthermore, the edges of the aforementioned padding layer are all provided with curved chamfers.

[0009] Furthermore, the aforementioned adjustment assembly includes two C-shaped fixing seats. The C-shaped fixing seats are fixedly connected to the movable tray by a first bolt. A round tube is fixed to the top of the C-shaped fixing seat, and a round rod is movably passed through the top of the round tube. A second bolt is threaded onto the surface of the round tube. When the round rod is fixed, the second bolt abuts against the surface of the round rod. A rotating sleeve is fixed to the top of the round rod. A support rod is movably passed through the two rotating sleeves. A third bolt is threaded onto the top of the rotating sleeve. After the support rod is adjusted, the third bolt abuts against the surface of the support rod. A C-shaped spring is installed on the surface of the support rod.

[0010] Furthermore, a connecting block is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the aforementioned support rod, and a C-shaped spring is fixed to the side of the connecting block.

[0011] Furthermore, the aforementioned connecting block is a rubber block.

[0012] Furthermore, a through hole is provided on the top of the connecting block, and the through hole is located near the end of the connecting block.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This utility model, by setting an adjustment component and C-shaped springs, allows for the following process during workpiece printing: when the workpiece is relatively tall, the printer is paused. The adjustment component is used to install the C-shaped springs on the moving tray, and then the angle of the C-shaped springs is adjusted to ensure they adhere to the surface of the workpiece. The two C-shaped springs clamp and fix the taller workpiece. The printer is then restarted. During the movement of the taller workpiece, the C-shaped springs clamp and fix it, preventing the workpiece from shaking and thus avoiding interlayer misalignment in the printed workpiece, thereby improving workpiece quality.

[0015] 2. By setting a curved part, this utility model can guide the C-shaped spring sheet, so that the C-shaped spring sheet can be smoothly clamped on the workpiece surface, improving the smoothness of operation.

[0016] 3. This utility model provides protection for the workpiece by setting a pad, the rubber pad being used to prevent hard contact between the C-shaped spring and the workpiece, thus avoiding damage to the workpiece surface.

[0017] 4. By setting a connecting block, this utility model can prevent the C-shaped spring from deforming during use by using the connecting block made of rubber, thus ensuring the clamping stability of the C-shaped spring.

[0018] 5. By setting through holes, when the C-shaped spring deforms, the C-shaped spring squeezes the connecting block. The through holes further reduce the interference of the connecting block on the C-shaped spring, while avoiding internal stress concentration at the deformation point of the connecting block, thus preventing damage to the connecting block and improving its service life.

[0024] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0025] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a printer support device that is easy to install and disassemble, including: a printer body 1, a movable tray 2 movably mounted on the base of the printer body 1, a support mechanism 3 provided on the movable tray 2, the support mechanism 3 including two C-shaped springs 10, and two sets of adjustment components 14 mounted on the side of the movable tray 2. The two C-shaped springs 10 are respectively mounted on the corresponding adjustment components 14. The adjustment components 14 are used to adjust the position and angle of the C-shaped springs 10. The C-shaped springs 10 are used to support tall printed parts. The printer body 1 realizes the workpiece printing function. The movable tray 2 drives the workpiece to move to complete the printing. The support mechanism 3 is used to stabilize the tall printed parts and prevent them from shaking. The adjustment components 14 can adjust the position and angle of the C-shaped springs 10 to adapt to tall printed parts of different heights and sizes. The C-shaped springs 10 clamp the tall printed parts with their own elasticity, restricting the shaking of the workpiece during the printing process and preventing interlayer misalignment of the printed workpiece. To ensure print quality, the adjustment component 14 is detachably connected to the movable tray 2, allowing the support mechanism 3 to be removed when not in use without affecting the printer's printing operation on workpieces of normal height. Both ends of the C-shaped spring 10 have integrally formed curved portions 11, with the bending direction of the curved portions 11 opposite to that of the C-shaped spring 10. The curved portions 11 are integrally formed at both ends of the C-shaped spring 10, and their reverse bending structure guides the C-shaped spring 10 to smoothly fit onto the surface of higher printable parts. A pad 12 is fixed to the surface of both the C-shaped spring 10 and the curved portions 11. The pad 12 is a rubber layer, which is elastic and soft. When the C-shaped spring 10 clamps the workpiece, the pad 12 prevents hard contact between the C-shaped spring 10, the curved portions 11, and the workpiece, preventing scratches or indentations on the workpiece surface and protecting it. Simultaneously, the rubber pad 12 increases friction with the workpiece, reducing relative sliding during clamping and further improving clamping stability and ensuring printing accuracy.

[0026] The adjusting assembly 14 includes two C-shaped fixing seats 4, which are fixedly connected to the movable tray 2 by a first bolt. A round tube 5 is fixed to the top of the C-shaped fixing seat 4, and a round rod 6 movably passes through the top of the round tube 5. A second bolt is threaded onto the surface of the round tube 5. When the round rod 6 is fixed, the second bolt abuts against the surface of the round rod 6. A rotating sleeve 7 is fixed to the top of the round rod 6, and a support rod 8 movably passes through the two rotating sleeves 7. A third bolt is threaded onto the top of the rotating sleeve 7. After the support rod 8 is adjusted, the third bolt abuts against the surface of the support rod 8. A C-shaped spring piece 10 is installed on the surface of the support rod 8. The C-shaped fixing seat 4 is fixed to the movable tray 2 by the first bolt. To provide an installation base for the adjustment component 14, the first bolt connection facilitates the disassembly of the C-shaped fixing seat 4. The round tube 5 is fixed to the top of the C-shaped fixing seat 4, and the round rod 6 can move up and down along the round tube 5 to adjust the height of the support rod 8 to adapt to workpieces of different heights. The second bolt fixes its position by abutting against the round rod 6, and the rotating sleeve 7 is fixed to the top of the round rod 6. The support rod 8 can move horizontally along the rotating sleeve 7 to adjust the horizontal position of the C-shaped spring 10, and can also rotate around the rotating sleeve 7 to adjust the angle of the C-shaped spring 10. The third bolt fixes its position by abutting against the support rod 8. Through multi-dimensional adjustment of height, horizontal position, and angle, the C-shaped spring 10 can accurately fit the workpiece to ensure the support effect.

[0027] A connecting block 9 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the support rod 8. A C-shaped spring piece 10 is fixed on the side of the connecting block 9. The connecting block 9 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the support rod 8, providing an installation carrier for the C-shaped spring piece 10, so that the C-shaped spring piece 10 is stably connected to the support rod 8.

[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, the edges of the pad 12 are all provided with arc-shaped chamfers, which eliminate the sharp structure of the edges of the pad 12.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the connecting block 9 is a rubber block with elasticity. When the C-shaped spring 10 clamps the workpiece, it will undergo elastic deformation outward. The rubber connecting block 9 can deform slightly in sync with the deformation of the C-shaped spring 10, so as to avoid the connecting block 9 from rigidly hindering the deformation of the C-shaped spring 10 and ensuring the stability of the clamping force of the C-shaped spring 10 on the workpiece. At the same time, the rubber material can buffer the vibration transmission between the C-shaped spring 10 and the support rod 8, and reduce the impact of vibration on the clamping stability of the C-shaped spring 10 during the printing process.

[0030] like Figure 4As shown, a through hole 13 is provided on the top of the connecting block 9. The through hole 13 is located near the end of the connecting block 9. The through hole 13 provides space for the deformation of the connecting block 9. When the C-shaped spring 10 deforms and squeezes the connecting block 9, the area near the end of the connecting block 9 can be recessed into the through hole 13, further reducing the obstruction of the connecting block 9 to the deformation of the C-shaped spring 10, ensuring the stability of the clamping force of the C-shaped spring 10. At the same time, the through hole 13 can disperse the internal stress of the connecting block 9 when it deforms, avoid the connecting block 9 from cracking due to stress concentration, and extend the service life of the connecting block 9.

[0035] (4) Then adjust the horizontal position of the support rod 8, tighten the third bolt at the top of the rotating sleeve 7, and initially fix the support rod 8 so that the C-shaped spring piece 10 on the surface connecting block 9 of the support rod 8 is aligned with the workpiece;

[0036] (5) Loosen the third bolt, rotate the support rod 8 to adjust the angle of the C-shaped spring 10, guide the spring to smoothly fit the workpiece surface with the bending part 11 at both ends of the C-shaped spring 10, ensure that the rubber pad layer 12 on the surface of the C-shaped spring 10 contacts the workpiece, tighten the third bolt to fix the angle, and clamp the workpiece with the two C-shaped springs 10.

[0037] (6) Start the printer, move the pallet 2 to move the workpiece and support mechanism 3 synchronously, the C-shaped spring 10 continuously provides clamping force during the movement of the workpiece, and during the clamping process, the C-shaped spring 10 deforms outward, the rubber connecting block 9 adapts to the deformation, the through hole 13 on the top of the connecting block 9 reduces the interference to the deformation of the spring and disperses the internal stress of the connecting block 9.

[0038] (7) After the workpiece is printed, pause the printer, loosen the third bolt and the second bolt in sequence, remove the support rod 8 and the round rod 6, and then disassemble the C-shaped fixing seat 4 to complete the dismantling of the support mechanism 3.
