The control device 120 is an electronic device including a processor, for example, a computer device, an embedded device, or an integrated circuit with a CPU.
In some embodiments, the lifting driving mechanism 103 may be a Z-axis driving mechanism connected to the frame of the photo-curing type three-dimensional printing apparatus 100, and is used for controllably moving and adjusting the workpiece forming platform 102 along a vertical axis so that the workpiece forming platform 102 can move up and down relative to the container 101, specifically, when printing begins, the workpiece forming platform 102 is immersed in the photosensitive resin in the container 101 and forms a uniform liquid resin film with the liquid surface of the photosensitive resin, after the liquid resin film is irradiated and cured by Ultraviolet light (UV) emitted by the image exposure system 224, the Z-axis driving mechanism drives the workpiece forming platform 102 to descend for a certain distance for performing Ultraviolet light irradiation and curing of the next layer, so circulation is performed until printing ends, and at this time, the printed workpiece 200 is directly cured on the workpiece forming platform 102. In the present utility model, the direction in which the Z-axis driving mechanism drives the workpiece forming platform 102 to move up and down is defined as a vertical direction, and the plane on which the workpiece forming platform 102 is located is a horizontal plane.
Of course, the lifting driving mechanism 103 of the present utility model is not limited to a Z-axis driving mechanism, and any driving mechanism capable of driving the workpiece forming platform 102 to move up and down relative to the container 101 may be used, and in other embodiments, the workpiece forming platform 102 may be connected to the frame of the light-curing three-dimensional printing apparatus 200 through a screw, and the screw is driven to move vertically and axially by the driving mechanism, so as to drive the workpiece forming platform 102 to move up and down relative to the container 101.
Since the photosensitive resin, which is a material for forming the printed workpiece, has a strong viscosity, and is adhered to the workpiece forming stage 102 when formed on the workpiece forming stage 102, it is a primary task to separate the printed workpiece adhered to the workpiece forming stage 102 after forming from the workpiece forming stage 102 during the automatic collection of the printed workpiece, in the prior art, a worker typically uses a tool such as a shovel blade to shovel the printed workpiece, so that the efficiency of a manual shovel is low, and the formed printed workpiece is easily damaged by the shovel blade, so that, in order to achieve the automatic separation of the printed workpiece from the workpiece forming stage, the photocurable three-dimensional printing apparatus 200 of the present embodiment further includes a vibration assembly 111 for separating the printed workpiece 200 from the workpiece forming stage 102, where the vibration assembly 111 is disposed below the workpiece forming stage 102 to generate vibration energy in a predetermined direction below the workpiece forming stage 102 to the bottom of the printed workpiece during the collection of the printed workpiece after photocuring printing is completed.
In some embodiments, considering that it may be difficult to separate the printed workpiece from the workpiece forming stage due to the fact that the photosensitive resin is firmly adhered to the workpiece forming stage 102, the weakened portion 1023a is provided on the workpiece forming stage 102 to facilitate the separation of the printed workpiece 200 from the workpiece forming stage, and the weakened portion 1023 has a smaller structural strength with respect to other non-weakened portions of the workpiece forming stage 102, so that the printed workpiece 200 formed in the forming region is easily separated from the forming region 1023.
In some embodiments, since only the structural strength of each printed workpiece forming area needs to be reduced to make the printed workpiece 200 easily separate from the workpiece forming platform, only each forming area 1023 for forming the printed workpiece needs to have the weakened portion 1023a, however, the utility model is not limited thereto, and in order to facilitate the design of the workpiece forming platform 102, the weakened portion may be uniformly designed on the forming end surface of the whole workpiece forming platform 102, and only each forming area 1023 needs to have a corresponding weakened portion, in embodiments of the utility model, for convenience of subsequent description, a surface of the workpiece forming platform 102 for forming the printed workpiece is referred to as a forming end surface 1021, and another surface opposite to the forming end surface 1021 is referred to as a forming bottom 1022, and in fig. 3, the forming end surface 1021 of the workpiece forming platform is uniformly provided with a schematic view of the weakened portion.
In the embodiments of the present utility model, the weakened portions 1023a are structures designed in the forming areas 1023 to reduce the contact surface with the workpiece forming platform 102 when the printed workpiece is formed in the forming areas 1023, and the reduction of the contact surface reduces the strength of the bottom structure of the printed workpiece formed on the workpiece forming platform 102, so as to facilitate separation, and it is understood that when the printed workpiece 200 is formed in the forming area with the weakened structure, the printed workpiece is easily damaged by external force due to weaker structural strength at the weakened structure, so as to be easily peeled from the workpiece forming platform 102 under the vibration energy generated by the vibration assembly, and meanwhile, as the structure at the weakened structure is damaged, the connection between the whole bottom and the workpiece forming platform 102 is also easily damaged. Generally, the greater the area of the weakened portion, the weaker the strength of the connection between the bottom of the printed workpiece formed on the forming area having the weakened portion and the workpiece forming table 102, and the more easily the vibration energy generated by the vibration assembly will separate, but the larger the area of the weakened portion, the more likely the forming of the printed workpiece will be affected, so in some embodiments, the area of the weakened portion preferably occupies 1/3 to 1/2 of the forming area in order to facilitate the separation of the printed workpiece 200 from the workpiece forming table 102 without affecting the forming of the printed workpiece 200.
In some preferred embodiments, the weakened portion 1023a includes one or more through holes disposed in each forming area, as shown in fig. 2, where each forming area 1023 of each printed workpiece 200 corresponds to at least one through hole, so as to weaken the structural strength of the connection between the printed workpiece 200 and the workpiece forming platform 102 after forming, so that the vibration energy of the vibration assembly 111 can be stripped from the workpiece forming platform 102, and the cross-sectional area of the through hole along the horizontal direction of the workpiece forming platform can be circular, elliptical, or quadrangular, rectangular, or even polygonal, which is not a limitation of the present utility model; the number of through holes in each molding region may be one, as shown in fig. 2, which shows a schematic view of one through hole per molding region, but it is understood that two or more through holes may actually be provided in the molding region 1023 of each printed workpiece 200, and theoretically, the more through holes are provided, the more printed workpiece is easily separated from the workpiece molding platform 102 after molding without affecting the structural strength of the workpiece molding platform 102 to meet the printing requirement.
