(2) Cleaning and air-drying unit 600
Whether the printing residual material is completely cleaned in the 3D printing process of photocuring various materials directly influences the quality of printed products. Especially, during the light-cured molding additive manufacturing, the printing raw materials are mostly in a liquid or paste state. In order to realize multi-gradient printing of various materials, different printing materials are required to be ensured not to be polluted mutually in the process of executing a printing task. The printing surface of each printed material is free from other residue, so that printing of different materials can be realized at each layer and even at a single pixel level. The traditional cleaning mode has physical damage or incomplete cleaning to a certain degree on the surface quality of a printed product.
Therefore, the utility model designs a cleaning and air-drying unit which is used for multi-material 3D printing, and adopts the modes of ultrasonic cleaning, a vacuole generator and an air outlet plate to ensure that printing materials cannot be polluted mutually in the process of executing a printing task, thereby ensuring the quality of a printed product.
Wherein, the washing and drying unit 600 can be integrally installed on the surface of the rotary disk 501, for example, n material boxes 505 and one washing and drying unit 600 are fixedly installed on the surface of the rotary disk 501 along the ring shape; when the rotary disk 501 rotates, each material box 505 and the cleaning and air-drying unit 600 are driven to synchronously rotate, and when one material box 505 rotates to a printing station, 3D printing operation is carried out; when the cleaning and air-drying unit 600 rotates to the printing station, the cleaning and air-drying unit is used for cleaning and air-drying the printing surface of the printing platform 202; rotation of the turntable 501 switches between the respective magazines 505 and the wash and air-dry unit 600.
The surface of the disk 501 is rotated, and the material box 505 and the cleaning and air-drying unit 600 are integrated at the same time, so that the material box 505 and the cleaning and air-drying unit 600 are switched. That is to say, the magazine 505 and the cleaning and air-drying unit 600 share the same set of rotation switching mechanism, and there is no need to design a special rotation switching mechanism for the cleaning and air-drying unit, so that the complexity of the device structure is simplified, and the device integration level is high.
The washing and air-drying unit 600 includes: a cleaning unit and an air drying unit;
(2.1) cleaning Unit
Referring to fig. 10, 11 and 12, the cleaning unit includes a cleaning cartridge 601, an ultrasonic generator 602, a bubble generator 603, a self-leveling liquid outlet 604 and a self-leveling liquid return 605;
since the cleaning cartridge 601 has the same outer shape as the cartridge 505, switching to the cleaning cartridge 601 is realized in the same manner as switching the rotation of the cartridge 505.
The bottom of the cleaning box 601 is provided with an ultrasonic generator 602;
a self-leveling liquid outlet 604 and a self-leveling liquid return port 605 are respectively arranged at two sides of the cleaning box 601; a bubble generator 603 is mounted between the self-leveling liquid outlet 604 and the self-leveling liquid return 605.
The principle is as follows:
the cleaning box 601 is made of 3D printing non-metal materials, so that a complex mechanism can be realized, and vibration transmission is reduced.
The self-leveling liquid outlet 604 and the self-leveling liquid return port 605 are respectively connected with a peristaltic pump to realize the circulation of the cleaning liquid. The circulation mode is as follows: the cleaning liquid is located in the liquid container, enters the cleaning box through the self-leveling liquid return port 605 through the peristaltic pump, is pumped out from the self-leveling liquid outlet 604 through the peristaltic pump and is filtered, and finally the filtered cleaning liquid is returned into the liquid container. Since the self-leveling liquid outlet 604 and the self-leveling liquid return port 605 are designed to be self-leveling, the cleaning liquid can stably flow in and flow out.
The bottom of the cleaning box 601 is provided with an ultrasonic generator 602 which can generate cavitation effect for cleaning the surface of the printing piece.
The ultrasonic power is not suitable to be too high because the power of the ultrasonic generator 602 can damage the structure of the printed part. Therefore, the power of the ultrasonic generator 602 cannot make the particle deposition uniformly distributed on the liquid surface, and therefore, the particles in the solution cannot be discharged from the cleaning box 601 through the self-leveling liquid outlet 604. In order to effectively discharge and filter residual material particles in the cleaning box 601 along with the self-leveling liquid outlet 604 and ensure the cleanness of the cleaning liquid in the cleaning box 601, the utility model particularly designs the liquid bubble generator 603.

By connecting the gas circuit, gas is enabled to generate larger bubbles along the circular holes on the surface of the bubble generator 603, so that deposited particles in the liquid in the cleaning box are uniformly distributed on the surface of the liquid and enter the self-leveling liquid outlet 604 along with the circulation of the liquid for filtering, thereby ensuring that the cleaning liquid in the cleaning box keeps a good cleaning effect and can work for a long time without replacing the cleaning liquid.
In addition, in the present invention, a plurality of circular holes are designed around the cleaning box as overflow slots 607, which can store the overflow liquid and prevent the cleaning liquid from splashing to other places of the equipment. The cleaning box is also provided with an overflow hole 608, the overflow hole 608 is slightly higher than the surface of the overflow tank 607 and lower than the upper surface of the outer wall of the cleaning box, when the cleaning solution in the cleaning box is too much due to some abnormal reason, the liquid will enter the overflow hole 608 to trigger the overflow sensor 609, thereby suspending the cleaning system and avoiding the damage or pollution of the printing equipment due to too much overflow or outflow.
(2.2) air drying Unit
Referring to fig. 13, the seasoning unit includes a wind outlet plate 606; referring to fig. 13, the air outlet plate 606 is of a porous integrated surface air outlet structure, the air outlet plate 606 is horizontally disposed above the cleaning unit, one end of the air outlet plate 606 is an air inlet 606A, and the air inlet 606A is connected with an air source through an air path solenoid valve; the upper surface of the air outlet plate 606 is provided with a plurality of air outlets 606B; one end of the air outlet plate 606 is fixed to the periphery of the scraping rotating disk 401, and the air outlet plate 606 swings under the driving of the scraping rotating disk 401.
The air outlet plate 606 directly blows to the bottom of the printing platform through the air outlet 606B, and in the air outlet process, the material scraping rotating disc 401 drives the printing platform to swing, so that the air drying function of the printing surface at the bottom of the printing platform is achieved.
The air outlet plate is designed into a porous integrated type face air outlet structure, so that the problem of physical damage to a printed piece caused by air outlet of a traditional air nozzle is greatly reduced; in addition, the multi-hole type inheritance surface air outlet device has the advantages that the air outlet air drying area is large, and the air drying efficiency and the air drying effect are effectively improved.
With reference to fig. 10, the operation principle of the cleaning and drying unit 600 is as follows:
the surface of the rotary disk 501 is divided into 6 stations, wherein five stations are material boxes, and one station is a cleaning and air-drying unit 600. One for each printing material.
The rotary disk 501 rotates to rotate the material box corresponding to the currently required printing material to the printing station below the printing platform;
the printing platform is lowered into the material box, and the printing material with a single layer thickness is solidified to the bottommost surface of the printing platform 202 according to a set shape through the matching of the printing platform and the ultraviolet optical unit 300, so that the printing is finished;
the printing platform is lifted and the photoelectric switch is triggered to enter a cleaning link:
the rotary disc 501 rotates to move the cleaning box to a printing station below the printing platform;
and the printing platform is lowered into the cleaning box, and the printing residual materials on the bottom surface of the printing platform are cleaned by the ultrasonic waves and the cleaning liquid in the cleaning box.
After the cleaning is finished, the printing platform is lifted to a certain height to the upper side of the air outlet plate, the material scraping rotating disc 401 drives the air outlet plate 606 to swing, and the air outlet plate 606 reciprocates to dry the printing cleaning surface at the bottom of the printing platform.
In the cleaning process, if the printing platform program is crashed and moved uncontrollably, the printing platform is powered off and suddenly stopped if the printing platform program touches the upper limit and the lower limit.
Therefore, the cleaning and air-drying unit provided by the utility model has the following characteristics:
1) the ultrasonic generator and the liquid bubble generator are matched to generate low-frequency bubbles, so that particles are uniformly distributed on the surface of the liquid, and the particles in the solution are discharged from the cleaning box through the self-leveling structure, so that the cleaning of the cleaning liquid in the cleaning box is ensured, and the cleaning liquid is prevented from being polluted;
2) the air outlet plate is designed into a porous integrated type face air outlet structure, so that the problem of physical damage to a printed piece caused by air outlet of a traditional air nozzle is greatly reduced; in addition, the multi-hole type inheritance surface air outlet device has the advantages that the air outlet air drying area is large, and the air drying efficiency and the air drying effect are effectively improved.
The device is reasonable in structural design, high in integration level, convenient to operate and high in practicability. By adopting the ultrasonic cleaning, the vacuole generator and the air outlet plate, the vacuole generator can ensure that cleaning sediments are not precipitated in the ultrasonic cleaning tank when the cleaning liquid is recycled, so that the quality of the cleaning liquid at each time is ensured.
The air outlet of the air drying plate is used for air-drying the cleaning surface, so that no liquid or residual materials exist on the printed piece.
The cleaning device realizes multiple cleaning modes at the same position and integration at different heights, reduces the time of the whole cleaning process and improves the working efficiency when realizing the superposition of the multiple cleaning modes.
