Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of T-shirt printing mold technology, and in particular to a T-shirt printing mold for 3D printing. Background Technology
[0002] 3D printing technology, as a revolutionary manufacturing technology, has demonstrated enormous application potential and development prospects in numerous fields since its inception. 3D printing uses data modeling methods such as computer-aided design or computed tomography (CT) scans to slice a three-dimensional model into layers, obtaining a series of two-dimensional cross-sectional information. Then, using specific printing materials, three-dimensional solid parts are directly manufactured by stacking these layers according to the cross-sectional information.
[0003] With the continuous development of the fashion industry and the increasing demand for personalized clothing from consumers, 3D printing technology is gradually being applied to the printing of clothing products. Currently, the application of 3D printing technology in clothing printing is mainly focused on printing small sheet materials. For example, in the production of some small clothing parts, 3D printing technology can leverage its unique advantages to achieve the precise manufacture of complex patterns and three-dimensional structures, bringing more creativity and possibilities to clothing design. However, for finished garments (such as T-shirts), due to the limitations of existing printers, it is often difficult to fix the finished garments to the printing base plate. This makes the finished garments prone to slight displacement during the printing process, resulting in misaligned and blurry patterns, which seriously affects the printing quality. Moreover, if the finished garments are forcibly fixed to the existing printing base plate, the non-printing areas of the garment will lack reasonable placement space, which will interfere with the normal movement of printer components (such as nozzles, Y-axis, Z-axis, etc.), and in severe cases, may even cause machine malfunctions, causing great trouble to the printing work.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to research a new technical solution to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, the present invention addresses the deficiencies of the existing technology, and its main objective is to provide a T-shirt printing mold for 3D printing.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A 3D printing mold for T-shirts includes a base and a liner for flat placement of the T-shirt processing surface; the base has a hollow structure and forms a placement cavity for placing the T-shirt; the inner wall of the placement cavity is provided with a support structure for supporting the liner; the top surface of the support structure is lower than the top surface of the base; a support column for supporting the liner is provided in the center of the placement cavity, and the top surface of the support column is flush with the top surface of the support structure;
[0008] The liner is mounted on the support structure, and a fixing component for securing the T-shirt is provided on the side of the liner near the base; the bottom surface of the liner abuts against the top surface of the support structure, and the top surface of the liner is flush with the top surface of the base.
[0009] As further explained, the support structure includes an inwardly extending support platform; each of the four sides of the support platform is provided with an inwardly protruding first support block; the top surface of the first support block is flush with the top surface of the support platform.
[0010] As further explained, the first support block is provided with an inwardly recessed slot.
[0011] As a further explanation, the support structure also includes four sets of second support blocks respectively located at the four corners of the placement cavity; the top surface of the second support block is flush with the top surface of the support platform.
[0012] As further explained, the liner is made of metal; the fixing assembly includes multiple sets of magnets, which are magnetically connected to the liner.
[0013] As further explained, the fixing component includes a fixing seat that protrudes outward on the liner; the fixing seat has an inwardly recessed cavity inside; a clamping strip structure is formed between the fixing seat and the cavity; the clamping strip structure is provided with multiple sets of clamping elements for clamping the T-shirt.
[0014] As further explained, the liner has rounded portions at each of its four corners.
[0015] As further explained, the base includes a top plate, a middle frame, and a bottom plate; the middle frame is fixedly mounted on the bottom plate; the top plate is fixedly mounted on the middle frame, and the top plate has an opening corresponding to the placement cavity.
[0016] As further explained, the base has an outwardly protruding mouth-wiping platform on one side.
[0017] As further explained, a receiving cavity for supporting the liner is provided between the top surface of the base and the supporting structure.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has obvious advantages and beneficial effects. Specifically, as can be seen from the above technical solution:
[0019] By incorporating a base and a backing plate, with a placement cavity built inside the base, users can place the T-shirt flat on the backing plate, and the fixing components on the back of the backing plate secure the rest of the T-shirt, ensuring the processing surface remains flat at all times. Simultaneously, the placement cavity effectively accommodates excess fabric from the T-shirt, preventing it from interfering with the normal movement of printer components (such as the nozzles, Y-axis, and Z-axis), reducing the risk of machine malfunction. This design of the base, backing plate, and placement cavity solves the problem of existing printers where the finished garment is difficult to hold, leading to slight displacement of the garment during printing, resulting in misaligned or blurry patterns. It significantly reduces printing deviations caused by the uncertainty of the T-shirt's position, effectively improving the processing quality of T-shirts. Attached Figure Description

[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0038] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, a T-shirt printing mold for 3D printing is provided, including a base 10 and a liner 20 for flat placement of the T-shirt processing surface. The base 10 has a hollow internal structure, and a placement cavity 15 for placing the T-shirt is formed inside the base 10. A support structure 40 for supporting the liner 20 is provided on the inner wall of the placement cavity 15. The top surface of the support structure 40 is lower than the top surface of the base 10. A support column 50 for supporting the liner 20 is provided in the center of the placement cavity 15, and the top surface of the support column 50 is flush with the top surface of the support structure 40.
[0039] A liner 20 is mounted on the support structure 40, and a fixing component 30 for securing the T-shirt is provided on the side of the liner 20 near the base 10. The bottom surface of the liner 20 abuts against the top surface of the support structure 40, and the top surface of the liner 20 is flush with the top surface of the base 10.
[0040] In this embodiment, the number of support columns 50 can be adjusted according to actual production needs, such as one set, two sets, three sets, etc., and multiple sets of support columns 50 are circumferentially distributed in the center of the placement cavity 15. The support columns 50 support the liner 20 to prevent the liner 20 from being deformed by the 3D printer nozzle, so as to ensure the flatness of the liner 20.
[0041] By setting up a base 10 and a liner 20, with a placement cavity 15 formed inside the base 10, the user can place the processed surface of the T-shirt flat on the liner 20. The remaining part of the T-shirt is then secured by the fixing component 30 on the back of the liner 20, ensuring that the processed surface of the T-shirt can be placed flat on the liner 20. When the liner 20 is placed on the support structure 40, the placement cavity 15 can effectively accommodate any excess material from the T-shirt, preventing it from adversely affecting the T-shirt processing. This method effectively reduces printing deviations caused by the uncertainty of the T-shirt's position, thereby significantly improving the processing quality of the T-shirt.
[0042] By setting up a base 10 and a liner 20, and constructing a placement cavity 15 inside the base 10, the user can place the T-shirt processing surface flat on the liner 20, and use the fixing component 30 on the back of the liner 20 to stabilize the rest of the T-shirt, ensuring that the processing surface remains flat at all times. At the same time, the placement cavity 15 can effectively accommodate excess parts of the T-shirt, preventing them from interfering with the normal movement of printer components (such as nozzles, Y-axis, Z-axis, etc.), reducing the risk of machine malfunction. The design of the base 10, liner 20, and placement cavity 15 solves the problem of existing printers where it is difficult to fix the finished garment, leading to slight displacement of the garment during printing, resulting in misaligned or blurry patterns. This significantly reduces printing deviations caused by the uncertainty of the T-shirt's position, effectively improving the processing quality of the T-shirt.
[0043] Preferably, in a first embodiment of the support structure 40, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the base 10 is a square-shaped platform, smaller at the top and larger at the bottom. In other embodiments, as... Figure 6 As shown, the base 10 is not limited to a square platform shape that is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom, but can also be a straight cylindrical shape with the same size at the top and bottom.
[0044] The support structure 40 includes an inwardly extending support platform 41, which is integrally formed with the base 10. By integrally forming the support platform 41 with the base 10, the overall structural strength of the support platform 41 is enhanced, thereby providing a better support effect for the liner 20.
[0045] Each of the four sides of the support platform 41 is provided with an inwardly protruding first support block 42. The top surface of the first support block 42 is flush with the top surface of the support platform 41. By setting up the support platform 41 and the first support blocks 42, the support platform 41 and the first support blocks 42 support the backing plate 20 in all directions, effectively preventing the backing plate 20 from tilting or shaking during the placement of T-shirts or printing. This helps to ensure that the T-shirt processing surface always remains flat, reduces the displacement of T-shirts caused by the instability of the backing plate 20, thereby reducing the risk of misalignment and blurring of printed patterns and improving print quality.
[0046] Furthermore, the first support block 42 is provided with an inwardly recessed slot 421. By providing the slot 421, when the fixing component 30 uses a magnet 31a, the magnet 31a can be easily stored in the slot 421, avoiding interference with the flatness of the backing plate 20. This helps ensure that the T-shirt processing surface always remains flat, reduces T-shirt displacement caused by instability of the backing plate 20, thereby reducing the risk of misalignment and blurring of the printed pattern and improving print quality.
[0047] Furthermore, a second implementation of the support structure 40, such as Figure 3 As shown, the difference from the first embodiment is that the support structure 40 in the second embodiment includes both a first support block 42 and a second support block 43.
[0048] The support structure 40 also includes four sets of second support blocks 43 respectively located at the four corners of the placement cavity 15. The top surface of the second support block 43 is flush with the top surface of the support platform 41. By setting the second support blocks 43, additional support can be provided for the four corners of the liner 20, making up for the insufficient support at the corner positions provided by the support platform 41 and the first support block 42. This ensures that the liner 20 receives uniform and comprehensive support across the entire plane, further improving the stability of the liner 20, avoiding problems such as misalignment and blurring of the printed pattern, and greatly improving the printing quality of the T-shirt.
[0049] Preferably, in the first embodiment of the liner 20, such as Figure 4As shown, the backing plate 20 is made of metal. The fixing component 30 includes multiple sets of magnets 31a, which are magnetically connected to the backing plate 20. By using the fixing component 30 with magnets 31a, the T-shirt can be quickly and easily fixed to the backing plate 20 through magnetic attraction, and the fixing force is uniform, ensuring that the T-shirt will not loosen or shift due to external force during printing. Furthermore, this fixing method is simple to operate, requiring no complicated tools or steps, thus improving the efficiency of printing preparation.
[0050] Preferably, in a second embodiment of the liner 20, such as Figure 5 As shown, the fixing component 30 includes a fixing seat 31b protruding outward on the backing plate 20. The fixing seat 31b has an inwardly recessed cavity. A clamping strip structure 32b is formed between the fixing seat 31b and the cavity. The clamping strip structure 32b has multiple sets of clamping elements (not shown) for clamping the T-shirt. These clamping elements are clips, preferably long-tail clips. By setting the clamping strip structure 32b, a dedicated clamping area is formed, allowing multiple sets of clamping elements to be evenly distributed on the clamping strip structure 32b, clamping and fixing the T-shirt from different positions. This allows for flexible adjustment according to the shape and size of the T-shirt, ensuring the T-shirt remains stable during printing, effectively preventing displacement of the T-shirt during printing, reducing the possibility of misalignment and blurring of the printed pattern, and improving print quality.
[0051] Furthermore, the liner 20 has rounded portions 21 at each of its four corners. By setting the four corners of the liner 20 to rounded portions 21, friction and scratches between the liner 20 and the T-shirt can be reduced, protecting the T-shirt from damage and ensuring its integrity.
[0052] Preferably, the base 10 includes a top plate 11, a middle frame 12, and a bottom plate 13. The middle frame 12 is fixedly mounted on the bottom plate 13. The top plate 11 is fixedly mounted on the middle frame 12, and the top plate 11 has an opening corresponding to the placement cavity 15. In this embodiment, both the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 13 are steel plates, generally the same size and shape as the original printing base plate 13 of the 3D printer. Their specific dimensions need to be adjusted according to the specific machine model. The middle frame 12 is a plastic middle frame 12, and the top plate 11, middle frame 12, and bottom plate 13 are all fixedly connected to form an integral structure, such as by using strong double-sided tape or strong glue for mutual fixation. The base 10 adopts a split structure design of the top plate 11, middle frame 12, and bottom plate 13, which facilitates the manufacturing and assembly of the mold. The top plate 11 and the bottom plate 13 are connected by the middle frame 12, which increases the overall strength and stability of the base 10 and can withstand various external forces during the printing process. The opening on the top plate 11 corresponds to the placement cavity 15, providing a convenient space for placing the T-shirt.
[0053] Preferably, the base 10 has an outwardly protruding nozzle wiping platform 14 on one side. In this embodiment, the nozzle wiping platform 14 can be equipped with corresponding nozzle wiping components according to the actual production situation, which facilitates the cleaning of the print head of the printing equipment, helps to ensure that the printing material can be extruded evenly and accurately, reduces printing defects caused by print head blockage or residual material, and thus indirectly improves the printing quality of T-shirts.
[0054] Preferably, a receiving cavity for supporting the liner 20 is provided between the top surface of the base 10 and the support structure 40. By providing the receiving cavity, additional support is provided for the liner 20, which can further limit the range of movement of the liner 20, enhance the connection stability between the liner 20 and the base 10, prevent the liner 20 from shaking or shifting due to external forces during the printing process, help ensure that the T-shirt always maintains a fixed position during the printing process, reduce deviation and blurring of the printed pattern, and improve print quality.
[0055] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and only specifically describe the technical principles of the present utility model. These descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model in any way. Based on this explanation, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model, as well as other specific embodiments of the present utility model that can be conceived by those skilled in the art without creative effort, should be included within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
