Abstract

A 3D printer for shaping a three-dimensional object is disclosed. The 3D printer of the present invention comprises a frame, a resin tank, a modeling plate, a modeling plate driving unit, and a resin tank lifting restriction unit. The resin tank receives a shaping resin material and has a light-transmissive bottom plate installed on the frame. The modeling plate is received in the resin tank so as to support a three-dimensional object. The resin tank lifting restriction unit restricts lifting of a partial area of the resin tank such that the resin tank is lifted non-horizontally when an external lifting force is applied to the resin tank. Accordingly, the resin tank performs tilting motion, and thus a shaped object is released from the bottom plate, starting from a bottom plate portion corresponding to the position where the lifting restriction unit is installed.

프레임(10)은 3D프린터(100)의 전체적인 형태를 유지하면서 각 기능 유니트들을 지지하는 프레임본체에 해당한다.The frame 10 corresponds to a frame body supporting each functional unit while maintaining the overall shape of the 3D printer 100.
프레임(10)은 프레임본체(40), 가동수납부(20) 및 가동수납부(20)을 일정량 탄성하에서 하강 및 상승이 가능하게 하는 스프링유니트(22)를 포함한다.The frame 10 includes a spring unit 22 that allows the frame body 40, the movable storage compartment 20 and the movable compartment 20 to be lowered and raised under a certain amount of elasticity.
프레임본체(40)에는 가동수납부(20)가 스프링유니트(22)의 탄성 하에 설치되어있다. 가동수납부(20)에는 장착 및 분리가 자유로운 수지조(30)가 장착된다. 수지조(30)에는 액체 상태의 수지재료(2)가 수납된다.In the frame body (40), the movable storage portion (20) is provided under the elasticity of the spring unit (22). The movable storage portion 20 is mounted with a resin trough 30 which is freely attachable and detachable. A resin material (2) in a liquid state is contained in the resin tank (30).
조형판(13)은 조형판 연결부(12)를 통하여 조형판구동부(11)에 연결된다. 조형판구동부(11)는 프레임(10)에 연결되고 제어부(60)로부터의 제어신호를 받아 상승 혹은 하강을 할 수 있다.The shaping plate 13 is connected to the shaping plate driving unit 11 through the shaping plate connecting portion 12. The shaping plate driving unit 11 is connected to the frame 10 and can raise or lower it by receiving a control signal from the control unit 60.

조형판(13)이 액상의 수지재료(2)에 잠긴 상태로 수지조(30)의 투명 바닥판(32)의 일정한 거리 혹은 투명 바닥판(32)에 밀착되어 위치하면, 조형판(13)과 수지조(30)의 투명 바닥판(32) 사이에 존재하는 액상의 수지재료(2)는 노광부(50)의 노광을 받아 액체에서 고체로 경화 반응한다. 이 경우에 조형판(13)의 하측 및 투명 바닥판의 상측의 액상의 수지층은 성형면이 된다.When the shaping plate 13 is in close contact with the transparent bottom plate 32 of the resin tray 30 or a certain distance from the transparent bottom plate 32 in a state where the shaping plate 13 is immersed in the liquid resin material 2, And the liquid resin material 2 existing between the transparent bottom plate 32 of the resin trough 30 and the transparent bottom plate 32 of the resin trough 30 undergoes a curing reaction from liquid to solid under exposure of the exposure unit 50. In this case, the liquid resin layer on the lower side of the shaping plate 13 and on the upper side of the transparent bottom plate serves as a molding surface.
수지조(30)의 투명 바닥판(32)에 조형판(13)이 밀착하여도 조형판(13)과 투명바닥판(32) 사이에는 액상의 수지재료(2)가 위치한다.The liquid resin material 2 is positioned between the shaping plate 13 and the transparent bottom plate 32 even if the shaping plate 13 is closely attached to the transparent bottom plate 32 of the resin tank 30. [
경화 반응된 단위성형층의 성형물(2)이 조형판(13)에 부착한 상태에서, 조형판(13)이 수지조(30)의 투명 바닥판(32)에서 일정거리 상승하면, 경화된 성형물(1) 아래로 다시 액상의 수지재료(2)가 채워지고, 조형판(13)이 다시 하강하여 수지조(30)의 투명 바닥판(32)으로부터 일정거리 이격된 상태에서 노광부(50)의 노광으로 경화된 성형물(1) 아래에 그 다음층의 수지를 경화한다. 이와 같은 과정을 반복하여 3차원 성형물(1)를 성형한다.When the molding plate 13 is lifted a certain distance from the transparent bottom plate 32 of the resin tank 30 in a state where the molded product 2 of the cured resin molded unit layer is attached to the molding plate 13, The resin plate 2 is filled with the liquid resin material 2 again below the transparent plate 1 and the molding plate 13 is lowered again and is separated from the transparent bottom plate 32 of the resin tank 30 by a predetermined distance, The resin of the next layer is cured under the molded article 1 which is cured by exposure. The above process is repeated to mold the three-dimensional molded product 1.
본 발명은 노광부(50)의 노광으로 조형판(13)과 수지조(30)의 투명바닥판(32) 사이의 경화된 성형물(1)이 조형판(13)에는 부착되고, 조형판(13)에 누적하여 부착된 성형물(1)이 수지조(30)의 경화된 성형면으로부터 분리가 잘 이루어지는 이형에 관한 것이다.The present invention is characterized in that the cured molded article 1 between the shaping plate 13 and the transparent bottom plate 32 of the resin tank 30 is attached to the shaping plate 13 by the exposure of the exposure unit 50, 13 in which the moldings 1 attached to the resin tanks 30 are separated from the hardened molding surfaces of the resin tanks 30.
이와 같은 성형물(1)이 수지조(30)의 투명바닥판(32)으로부터의 이형은 수지조(30)를 상승할 때 비평탄 상승을 하거나 수지조를 틸팅하도록 하여 달성된다.The release of the molded article 1 from the transparent bottom plate 32 of the resin trough 30 is achieved by raising the unevenness or tilting the resin trough when the resin trough 30 rises.
도 2는 본 발명 제1실시예에 따른 가동수납부 및 수지조의 사시도이다.2 is a perspective view of a movable storage unit and a resin tank according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
본 발명의 주요 부분인 가동수납부(20)은 프레임본체(40) 상에 스프링(22)의 탄성압력 하에 설치된다. 가동수납부(20)는 프레임(10)의 일부이다.The movable storage portion 20, which is a main part of the present invention, is installed under the elastic pressure of the spring 22 on the frame body 40. The movable storage portion 20 is a part of the frame 10.
가동수납부(20)는 사각형태의 베이스부(23)에 양측에 수지조(30)를 장착하기 위한 장착가이드부(26)를 설치한다. 장착가이드부(26)는 상부에 높이를 규제하는 가이드 규제턱(26a, 도5)이 설치되고, 베이스부(23)부터 규제턱(26a)까지의 높이는 수지조(30)의 높이보다 크다.The movable storage portion 20 is provided with a mounting guide portion 26 for mounting the resin tanks 30 on both sides of the rectangular base portion 23. The height of the mounting guide portion 26 from the base portion 23 to the restricting jaw 26a is greater than the height of the resin trough 30.
따라서, 수지조(30)를 가동수납부(20)의 장착가이드(26)에 장착하면 수지조(30)는 상하로 유동하는 유동거리를 가진다.Therefore, when the resin trough 30 is attached to the mounting guide 26 of the movable storage portion 20, the resin trough 30 has a flow distance that flows upward and downward.
한편, 수지조(30)의 4개의 코너 중 하나의 코너(도면 상의 전면의 좌측 코너)에는, 돌기부(31)를 설치하여, 돌기부(31) 높이까지 감안한 수지조(30)의 높이는 가동수납부(20)의 수납가이드(26)의 수지조 삽입공간 높이와 거의 동일한 높이가 되어, 수지조(30)를 가동수납부(20)에 장착한 경우, 돌기부(31)에 의해 수지조(30)는 상부로 유동할 수 있는 유동거리가 거의 없는 밀착된 상태로 장착 된다.The protrusion 31 is provided at one corner of the four corners of the resin trough 30 so that the height of the resin trough 30 is adjusted to the height of the protrusion 31, When the resin reservoir 30 is mounted on the movable storage compartment 20, the height of the resin reservoir 30 of the resin reservoir 30 of the storage tank 30 is substantially the same height as the height of the storage reservoir of the storage reservoir 20 of the resin reservoir 20, Is mounted in a tightly closed state with almost no flowable distance to the top.
하지만, 수지조(30)의 4개의 코너 중 돌기부(31)를 갖는 코너(전면 좌측 코너)를 제외한 나머지 3개의 코너들은 상부로 유동할 수 있는 유동공간을 가진다. 또한, 유동공간에는 완충부재를 구비 할 수 있다.However, the remaining three corners except for the corner (front left corner) having the protrusion 31 among the four corners of the resin trough 30 have a flow space capable of flowing upward. Further, the flow space may be provided with a buffer member.
수지조(30)의 투명바닥판(32)은 투명한 재료로 만들어져 하부로부터 노광부(50)의 노광을 수지조(30)에 수용된 액상의 수지재료(2)에게 전달한다. 수지조(30)가 장착되는 가동수납부(20)의 바닥판에 해당하는 베이스부(23)의 중앙부위는 하부 노광부(50)의 광이 통과 할 수 있도록 빈 공 간에 해당하는 노광통로부(25)를 가진다.The transparent bottom plate 32 of the resin trough 30 is made of a transparent material and transfers the exposure of the exposure unit 50 from the bottom to the liquid resin material 2 housed in the resin tank 30. The central portion of the base portion 23 corresponding to the bottom plate of the movable storage portion 20 to which the resin trough 30 is mounted is formed in the central portion of the base portion 23, (25).
따라서, 노광부(50)의 광은 가동수납부(20)의 노광통로부(25)를 통과하여 수지조(30)의 투명바닥판(32)까지 조사가 가능하고, 조형판(13)과 투명바닥판(32) 사이에 위치하는 액상의 수지재료(2)에 조사하여 단위성형층의 수지재료를 경화시킨다.The light of the exposure section 50 can be irradiated to the transparent bottom plate 32 of the resin tank 30 through the exposure passage section 25 of the movable storage section 20, The liquid resin material 2 located between the transparent bottom plates 32 is irradiated to cure the resin material of the unit molding layer.
가동수납부(20)의 4개의 코너부에는 4개의 볼트구멍(24)이 각각 설치되고, 4개의 가동볼트(21)는 4개의 볼트구멍(24)을 관통하고, 4개의 가동볼트(21)에는 각각 스프링(22)이 끼워진 상태로 프레임본체(40)에 조립된다.Four bolt holes 24 are provided in the four corner portions of the movable storage portion 20 and the four movable bolts 21 penetrate the four bolt holes 24 and four movable bolts 21, Are assembled to the frame body 40 in a state where the springs 22 are sandwiched.
따라서, 가동수납부(20)는 스프링(22)의 탄성력 하에 설치되어, 조형판(13)이 수지조(30)의 투명바닥판(32)을 눌러 조형판(13)과 수지조(30) 투명바닥판(32)이 평행을 유지한 경우, 가동수납부(30)의 스프링(22)들도 각각 압축이 되어 가장 적절한 압력 하에 가동수납부(30)와 조형판(13) 및 수지조(30)의 투명바닥판(32)은 평행을 유지한다.The movable storage compartment 20 is installed under the elastic force of the spring 22 so that the shaping plate 13 presses the transparent bottom plate 32 of the resin tank 30 to press the shaping plate 13 and the resin tank 30, The springs 22 of the movable storage compartment 30 are also compressed so that the movable storage compartment 30 and the shaping plate 13 and the resin tanks 30 are kept parallel to each other.
도 3은 본 발명 제2실시예에 따른 가동수납부 및 수지조의 사시도이다.3 is a perspective view of a movable storage part and a resin tank according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
도 3은 도 2의 제1실시예에 비교하여 2개의 돌기부(31 및 31')를 가지는 것을 제외하고는 대부분 유사한 구조이다. 본 발명 제2실시예에서는 수지조의 틸팅이 본 발명 제1실시예와 상이한 동작이 이루어진다. 그러나 제1실시예와 동일한 이형의 효과를 발생시킨다. 제1규제돌기부(31)의 돌기의 높이는 높다. 제2규제돌기부(31')의 돌기의 높이는 제1규제돌기부(31)보다는 낮다.Fig. 3 shows a structure most similar to the first embodiment of Fig. 2 except that it has two projections 31 and 31 '. In the second embodiment of the present invention, the operation of tilting the resin tanks is different from that of the first embodiment of the present invention. However, the same effect as the first embodiment is produced. The height of the projection of the first regulatory projection 31 is high. The height of the protrusion of the second regulatory protrusion 31 'is lower than that of the first regulating protrusion 31.
규제부는 프레임 또는 수지조로부터 돌출된 규제돌기부 외에도 유동구간 내에 구비된 완충부재의 탄성력의 차이에 의해서도 비평탄 상승 및 하강이 가능한 실시예도 본 발명에 포함된다. 이때에는, 상대적으로 탄성력이 강한 완충부재가 구비된 코너 측이 규제부가 될 수 있다.Embodiments in which the regulating portion can raise and lower unevenness by the difference in the elastic force of the buffer member provided in the flow section other than the regulating projection portion projecting from the frame or the resin tank are also included in the present invention. At this time, the corner portion provided with the cushioning member having a relatively elastic force can be a regulating portion.
도 4는 본 발명 일실시예에 따른 조형판의 하강으로 가동수납부가 일정량 하강하여 탄성상태를 보여주는 요부 기능도이다. 조형판구동부(11)가 하강하면 연결부(12)에 연결된 조형판(13)도 하강한다. 조형판(13)은 수지조(30)의 투명바닥판(32)을 누르고, 수지조(30)의 투명바닥판(32)은 가동수납부(20)의 베이스부(23)를 눌러, 가동수납부(20)은 전체적으로 스프링(22)을 누르면서 스프링(22)의 탄성압력 하에 가동볼트(21)을 타고 내려간다.FIG. 4 is a function diagram showing the elasticity state of the movable storage part when the movable plate descends by a certain amount due to the descent of the shaping plate according to an embodiment of the present invention. When the shaping plate driving portion 11 is lowered, the shaping plate 13 connected to the connecting portion 12 also descends. The plastic plate 13 presses the transparent bottom plate 32 of the resin trough 30 and the transparent bottom plate 32 of the resin trough 30 presses the base portion 23 of the movable storage portion 20, The accommodating portion 20 descends down the movable bolt 21 under the elastic pressure of the spring 22 while pressing the spring 22 as a whole.
만약에 가동수납부(20)가 일부 수평을 유지하지 않는 경우라 하더라도, 수지조(30)의 투명바닥판(32)과 가동수납부(20)는 평행을 유지하게 되며, 이때의 4군데의 가동볼트(21)에 설치된 스프링(22)의 압축정도는 서로 다른 압축률로서 가동수납부(20)가 수지조(30)의 투명바닥판(32)과 평행을 유지시킨다.The transparent bottom plate 32 of the resin trough 30 and the movable storage compartment 20 are kept parallel to each other even if the movable storage compartment 20 does not maintain a certain level, The degree of compression of the spring 22 provided on the movable bolt 21 keeps the movable storage compartment 20 in parallel with the transparent bottom plate 32 of the resin tank 30 at a different compression ratio.
이 경우가 성형을 시작하는 초기 위치에 해당하며, 조형판(13)과 수지조(30)의 투명바닥판(32) 사이에는 얇은 막의 수지가 갭을 유지하고 있다. 왜냐하면 액상의 수지(2)가 수지조(30)의 일정한 높이를 유지한 상태에서 조형판이 수지조(30)의 투명바닥판(32)을 누르기 때문에 얇은 막의 수지가 조형판(13)과 수지조(30) 투명바닥판(32)에 형성하는 것이다. 통상의 이 막은 약 0.1mm 내외의 막이 되며, 3차원물체를 성형하는 3D프린터의 단위성형층 두께에 해당한다.This case corresponds to the initial position at which the molding starts, and the resin of the thin film maintains a gap between the shaping plate 13 and the transparent bottom plate 32 of the resin tank 30. This is because the plastic plate presses the transparent bottom plate 32 of the resin tank 30 in a state in which the liquid resin 2 maintains the constant height of the resin tank 30 so that the resin of the thin film is pressed against the plastic plate 13, (30) on the transparent bottom plate (32). This film is a film about 0.1 mm or less, which corresponds to the thickness of a unit molded layer of a 3D printer for molding a three-dimensional object.
이 상태에서, 노광부(50)의 노광으로 조형판(13)과 수지조(30) 투명바닥판(32) 사이에서 일정한 형상을 갖는 노광에너지에 의해 액체 수지는 고체로 경화한다.In this state, the liquid resin is solidified by exposure energy having a predetermined shape between the shaping plate 13 and the transparent bottom plate 32 by the exposure of the exposure unit 50.
도 5는 본 발명 일실시예에 따른 조형판이 성형 후 상승하는 상승 초기에 가동수납부가 일정량 하강 상태에서 원위치하는 상태를 보여주는 기능도이다.FIG. 5 is a functional diagram showing a state in which the movable storage part is retracted from a predetermined lowered state at the initial stage of the rising of the shaping plate according to an embodiment of the present invention.
노광이 끝난 후 단위성형층의 수지를 경화한 다음 조형판(30)은 상승한다. 상승 초기의 형태가 도 4에 도시한다. 상승 초기는 도 3의 가동수납부(20)가 압축된 상태에서 압축이 풀리는 정도의 상승으로, 가동수납부(20)는 가동볼트(21)의 볼트머리에 의하여 더 이상 상승할 수 없는 상태까지 조형판(20)이 상승하는 것이다. 이때의 가동수납부(20)는 스프링(22)의 탄성력에 의해 원래의 위치로 복귀한다. 물론 가동 수납부(20)의 압축은 성형의 초기에 진행하고, 성형이 진행할수록 압축의 정도는 점점 감소한다.After the exposure is completed, the resin of the unit molding layer is hardened, and the molding plate 30 is lifted. The initial form of the rise is shown in Fig. In the initial stage of the rise, the movable storage portion 20 is lifted up to a state where it can no longer be lifted due to the bolt head of the movable bolt 21 due to the increase of the degree of compression of the movable storage portion 20 in the compressed state The plastic plate 20 is lifted. At this time, the movable storage portion 20 is returned to its original position by the elastic force of the spring 22. [ Of course, the compression of the movable storage portion 20 proceeds in the early stage of the molding, and the degree of compression gradually decreases as the molding progresses.
이때에는, 조형판(13)과 수지조(30)의 투명바닥판(32) 사이에는 고체의 단위성형층이 성형되어 조형판(13) 및 바닥면(32)의 양측에 부착되어 있다.At this time, a solid unit forming layer is formed between the shaping plate 13 and the transparent bottom plate 32 of the resin tank 30 and attached to both sides of the shaping plate 13 and the bottom surface 32.
도 6은 본 발명 일실시예에 따른 조형판이 추가 상승할 때 수지조의 일부는 상승규제부에 의해 상승이 규제되고 수지조의 나머지 부분은 상승이 규제되지 않으므로 수지조가 비평탄 상승하는 모습을 보여주는 기능도이다.FIG. 6 is a graph showing a function of showing a state in which the resin tank rises unevenly because the rise of the resin tank is restricted by the upward regulation portion and the rise of the remaining portion of the resin tank is not regulated when the molding plate according to the embodiment of the present invention rises further. to be.
조형판(20)은 초기 상승 이 후 추가적으로 계속 상승한다. 조형판(13)과 수지조(30)의 투명바닥판(32) 사이에는 고체의 단위성형층 수지가 성형되어 조형판(13) 및 투명바닥판(32)의 양측에 부착된 상태이므로, 조형판(13)이 계속 상승하면, 조형판(13)의 하부의 단위성형층에 부착된 수지조(30)도 같이 상승하는 힘을 받는다.The shaping plate 20 continues to rise further after the initial rise. Since a solid unit molding resin is molded between the shaping plate 13 and the transparent bottom plate 32 of the resin trough 30 and attached to both sides of the shaping plate 13 and the transparent bottom plate 32, When the plate 13 continues to rise, the resin tie 30 attached to the unit molding layer under the shaping plate 13 is also subjected to a force of upward movement.
이때, 수지조(30)의 좌측의 돌기부(31)가 설치된 코너부는 가동수납부(20)의 장착가이드(26)의 가이드 규제턱(26a)에 의하여 상승이 규제되지만, 우측 및 다른 코너부들은 가동수납부(20)의 장착가이드(26)와는 일정한 거리의 유동 공간이 있으므로 만큼 상부로 상승 할 수 있다.At this time, the corner portion provided with the protruding portion 31 on the left side of the resin tank 30 is restricted from rising by the guide restricting jaw 26a of the mounting guide 26 of the movable accommodating portion 20, but the right and other corner portions There is a flow space at a certain distance from the mounting guide 26 of the movable storage compartment 20 so that it can rise to the upper part.
장착가이드(26)에 설치된 가이드 규제턱(26a) 및 돌기부(31)가 제1규제부(29)에 해당한다. 제1규제부(29)에 의해 상승 외력이 수지조에 가해 졌을 때, 수지조(30)는 비평탄하게 상승한다. 비평탄하게 상승한다는 것은 수지조(30)의 상승이 수직 방향으로 평탄하지 않게 상승함을 의미한다.The guide restricting jaw 26a and the protruding portion 31 provided in the mounting guide 26 correspond to the first restricting portion 29. [ When an upward external force is applied to the resin tank by the first regulating portion 29, the resin tank 30 rises unevenly. Unequal rise means that the rise of the resin trough 30 rises unevenly in the vertical direction.
비평탄상승의 일례는 틸팅동작으로 상승하는 것이다. 이때의 틸팅동작의 회전중심은 좌측의 돌기부(31)가 된다.An example of a unbalanced lift is to rise with a tilting motion. At this time, the center of rotation of the tilting operation becomes the protrusion 31 on the left side.
틸팅동작에 의해 직전에 성형된 성형면은 전체적으로 한번에 이형되는 것이 아니라 점진적 혹은 부분적으로 이형이 진행된다. 따라서, 성형면에 가해지는 부하가 전체면 이형의 경우보다 상대적으로 적어지는 효과가 있다.The molding surface formed immediately before by the tilting operation is not entirely released at one time, but progresses gradually or partially. Therefore, there is an effect that the load applied to the molding surface is relatively smaller than that in the case of the entire surface release.
즉, 성형면이 넓으면 넓을수록 이형해야 할 면이 넓고, 이에 따른 이형에 필여한 부하도 커질 수밖에 없으나, 본 발명 실시예와 같은 틸팅작용은 부분적인 이형을 유도하므로 부하가 적어지는 효과가 탁월하다.That is, the wider the forming surface, the wider the surface to be released and the greater the load required for the mold release. However, since the tilting operation as in the embodiment of the present invention induces partial deformation, Do.
수지조(30)의 한쪽 코너는 상승규제부(29)에 의해 규제되므로 조형판(13)의 하부에 부착된 경화된 단위성형층을 갖는 성형물(1)은 돌기부(31)가 있는 좌측을 시작으로 수지조(30)의 투명바닥판(32)으로부터 이형이 시작되고, 나머지 코너부들도 전부 이형이 완성되면 수지조(30)는 자중에 의하여 바닥으로 떨어지므로 가동수납부(20)의 베이스부(23)에 초기 상태로 복귀한다.Since the one corner of the resin trough 30 is regulated by the upward regulation portion 29, the molded article 1 having the hardened unitary molding layer attached to the lower portion of the molding plate 13 starts the left side with the projection 31 The resin tray 30 is released from the transparent bottom plate 32 of the resin trough 30 and the resin trough 30 drops to the bottom due to its own weight when the remaining corners are completely released, (23).
본 발명 일 실시예에서는 장착가이드(26)에 설치된 가이드 규제턱(26a) 및 수지조(30)의 돌기부(31)가 제1규제부(29)가 된다. 상승 외력이 수지조(30)에 가해 졌을 때, 제1규제부(29)에 의해 수지조(30)는 비평탄하게 상승한다. 비평탄 상승의 일례는 틸팅 상승이지만 평탄하지 않게 상승하는 여러 가지 다른 실시예가 가능하다. 제1규제부(29)는 조형판(13)이 상승하는 경우를 실시예로 기재하나, 조형판(13)이 하강하는 경우도 마찬가지로 적용 가능하다.The guide regulating step 26a provided in the mounting guide 26 and the protruding part 31 of the resin tank 30 constitute the first regulating part 29 in the embodiment of the present invention. When the rising external force is applied to the resin trough 30, the resin trough 30 rises unequally by the first restricting portion 29. One example of a non-flattening lift is several different embodiments where tilting is rising but unevenly rising. The first regulating portion 29 describes the case in which the shaping plate 13 is lifted, but it is also applicable to the case where the shaping plate 13 descends.
도 6의 확대도는 수지조가 틸팅되는 형상을 과장적으로 보여준다. 실제로는, 순간적인 틸팅 및 원위치하는 동작은 수지조의 폭이 30센티미터인 경우, 유동 공간을 3 내지 5미리 정도 설정하여 눈에 보이지 않는 짧은 순간에 일어난다. 하지만, 이와같은 틸팅동작으로 인하여, 이형을 용이하게 하여 안정적인 3차원 물체의 성형이 가능하게 한다.The enlarged view of FIG. 6 shows an exaggerated shape of the tilting of the resin tanks. In practice, momentary tilting and retracting operations occur in short, invisible moments when the width of the resin bath is 30 centimeters, by setting the flow space to 3 to 5 millimeters. However, due to such a tilting operation, releasing is facilitated and a stable three-dimensional object can be formed.
본 발명 제1실시예는 도 2와 같이, 수지조의 4개의 코너 중 하나의 코너에 규제돌기(31)가 설치된 경우이다. 이때, 나머지 3개의 코너들은 자유롭게 상승이 가능하다. 규제돌기(31)가 설치된 코너의 수지조 플랜지가 규제턱(26a)에 걸려 상승이 규제되고, 나머지 코너들은 규제돌기가 없으므로 조형판의 상승으로 인하여 적당한 완충력을 받으면서 상승하고 이때 수지조는 틸팅하고 이형이 이루어진다.The first embodiment of the present invention is a case where regulating protrusions 31 are provided at one corner of four corners of a resin tank, as shown in Fig. At this time, the remaining three corners can rise freely. The resin flange of the corner where the restricting projection 31 is installed is caught by the restricting jaw 26a to be regulated to rise and the rest of the corners do not have the restricting projection so that it rises while receiving a proper buffering force due to the rise of the molding plate, .
본 발명 제2실시예에 의한, 도 3에서는, 두 개의 규제돌기(31, 31')가 수지조의 플랜지부에 설치된다. 이 2개의 규제돌기 중, 첫 번째 규제돌기(31)는 높이가 높다. 두 번째 규제돌기(31')는 돌기의 높이가 낮다. 따라서, 첫 번째 규제돌기(31)측의 수지조는 상승이 저지되고, 두 번째 규제돌기(31')가 설치된 수지조의 코너는 상승이 미세하게 이루어지다가 규제가 이루어진다. 나머지 두 코너들은 상승규제없이 적당한 완충력을 받으면서 상승한다. 따라서, 수지조의 틸팅은 한 개의 규제돌기가 설치된 경우보다는 복잡한 운동을 하면서 틸팅이 이루어진다.In Fig. 3 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, two regulating protrusions 31 and 31 'are provided in the flange portion of the resin tank. Of these two restricting projections, the height of the first restricting projection 31 is high. The height of the projection of the second restricting projection 31 'is low. Therefore, the resin tank on the side of the first regulating protrusion 31 is prevented from rising, and the corner of the resin tank on which the second regulating protrusion 31 'is provided is finely regulated. The other two corners rise without moderating regulation, subject to moderate buffer capacity. Therefore, the tilting of the resin tanks is performed with more complicated motion than when one regulating projection is provided.
본 발명의 바람직한 실시예에서는 수지조(30)의 적어도 한 코너에 돌기부(31)를 설치 한 것으로 설명하였으나, 본 발명은 이것에 한정되지 않는다. 수지조가 장착되는 가이드부(26)에 돌기부를 설치하여 수지조의 한 코너를 규제할 수도 있다.In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, protrusions 31 are provided on at least one corner of the resin trough 30, but the present invention is not limited to this. A protrusion may be provided on the guide portion 26 on which the resin tank is mounted so that one corner of the resin tank can be regulated.
본 발명의 바람직한 실시예에서는 하나의 코너부에 돌기부를 설치하여 하나의 코너를 규제하였고, 나머지 3개의 코너부들은 규제하지 않는 틸팅방식을 사용하였으나, 2개의 코너부를 규제하고 2개의 코너부를 규제하지 않는 틸팅방식도 사용이 가능하다.In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, one protrusion is provided at one corner portion to restrict one corner and the other three corner portions are not restricted. However, the two corner portions are regulated and the two corner portions are regulated You can also use a tilting method.
또한, 3개의 코너를 규제하고, 하나의 코너를 규제하지 않는 틸팅방식도 가능하다. 규제하지 않는 코너들에는 판스프링과 같은 완충부재를 설치하여 적당한 완충력을 받는 것도 본 발명에 포함된다.Also, a tilting method in which three corners are regulated and one corner is not regulated is also possible. It is also included in the present invention that a buffering member such as a leaf spring is provided at corners that are not regulated so as to receive an appropriate buffering force.
본 발명의 일 실시예에서는 4각형의 수지조를 사용하였으나, 원형, 타원형 등의 수지조도 사용이 가능하다. 다만, 원형이나 타원형의 수지조에서도 적어도 한 부분은 상승을 규제하고, 나머지 부분은 상승을 규제하지 아니한다.In one embodiment of the present invention, a quadrilateral resin trough is used, but a resin trough such as a circle or an ellipse can also be used. However, in a circular or elliptical resin tank, at least one part regulates the rise and the rest does not regulate the rise.
원형의 수지조의 경우 테두리를 따라 규제돌기의 높이를 점진적으로 변하도록 설치 가능하다. 따라서 각 돌기의 높이 끝점의 연장선은 일정한 기울기를 가지도록 설치 가능하다. 이와 같은 구조를 채택하여 더욱 부드러운 이형이 가능하다.In the case of a circular resin tank, the height of the regulating protrusion can be gradually changed along the rim. Therefore, the extension line of the high end point of each projection can be set to have a constant slope. By adopting such a structure, more smooth release can be realized.
본 발명의 일실시예에서는 인위적으로 비평탄하게 상승하기 위한 규제턱 및 돌기부를 설치하였으나, 이와 같은 규제턱 및 돌기부를 설치하지 않고, 조형판의 위치를 수지조의 무게중심에 대하여 일정 방향으로 편심되도록 위치시켜 조향판이 상승할 때 수지조의 자중에 의하여 비평탄 상승하도록 구성 할 수 있다.In the embodiment of the present invention, the regulation jaws and protrusions for raising artificially unevenly are provided. However, the regulation jaws and protrusions are not provided, but the position of the molding plate is set to be eccentric in a certain direction with respect to the center of gravity of the resin tank. And when the steering plate is elevated, it can be structured so as to rise unevenly by the self weight of the resin tank.
본 발명에서는 조형판이 상승하는 경우를 예로 들었으나, 조형판이 하강하는 방식에서 수지조가 순간적인 틸팅이 일어나게 하여 동일한 목적을 달성 할 수 있다. 즉, 조형판이 하강하는 경우의 실시예도 마찬가지로 작용이 가능하며, 이 실시예도 본 발명에 포함된다. 이때, 수용된 액상수지의 평탄한 성형면을 얻기 위해, 수지조 내부에는 투명바닥판을 가지며 액상수지의 높이를 규제할 수 있는 액면 규제 바닥판이 설치될 수 있다. 액면 규제 바닥판은 성형이 끝나면 액면 규제를 해제할 수 있도록 설치될 수 있다.In the present invention, although the case of raising the shaping plate is taken as an example, instantaneous tilting of the resin tub can be achieved in the method of lowering the shaping plate, thereby achieving the same object. That is, the embodiment in the case where the shaping plate descends is also possible, and this embodiment is also included in the present invention. At this time, in order to obtain a flat forming surface of the received liquid resin, a liquid level regulating bottom plate having a transparent bottom plate inside the resin tank and regulating the height of the liquid resin may be provided. The liquid level regulating deck can be installed so that liquid level regulation can be released when the molding is finished.
또한, 본 발명의 틸팅방식 수지조는 탄성변형이 적게 일어나는 경도가 높은 재질의 수지조에서 더욱 효용성이 뛰어남이 확인되었다.Further, it has been confirmed that the tilting type resin bath of the present invention is more excellent in the resin tank of high hardness in which the elastic deformation is small.
도 7은 본 발명 다른 실시예에 따른 조형판이 상승할 때 수지조는 고정되고, 조형판 연결부의 일측이 규제되고 다른 측은 규제되지 않아 조형판이 수지조에 대하여 비평탄상승하면서 틸팅하는 동작을 보여주는 기능도이다.FIG. 7 is a functional diagram showing a tilting operation in which the resin plate is fixed when the molding plate rises according to another embodiment of the present invention, the one side of the molding plate connection part is regulated, and the other side is not regulated, .
본 발명의 다른 실시예에서는 도 6과 같이 수지조(30)는 수지조수납부(30)에 고정되고 조형판 구동부(11)가 상승할 때 연결부(12) 및 조형판(13)의 한쪽 코너는 규제되고 다른쪽 코너는 규제되지 않도록 하여 조형판(13)이 수지조(30)의 바닥에 대하여 상승하면서 틸팅하도록 하여, 조형판(13)과 광경화성 수지는 쉽게 이형이 이루어지는 실시예도 본 발명에 포함된다.6, the resin trough 30 is fixed to the resin tiller 30 and one corner of the connecting portion 12 and the shaping plate 13 when the shaping plate driving portion 11 is lifted up And the other corner is not regulated so that the shaping plate 13 is tilted up against the bottom of the resin tray 30 so that the shaping plate 13 and the photocurable resin can easily be released. .
본 발명 다른 실시예에 따른 제2규제부(29-1)는 조형판연결부(12)에 설치된 연결부규제돌기(12-1) 및 조형판구동부(11)에 연결된 규제가이드부(11-2)를 포함하여 이루어진다.The second regulating portion 29-1 according to another embodiment of the present invention includes a regulating guide portion 11-2 connected to the connecting portion regulating protrusion 12-1 and the forming plate driving portion 11 provided on the forming plate connecting portion 12, .
조형판연결부(12)의 일측에는 연결부규제돌기(12-1)가 설치되고, 타측에는 탄성 판스프링(12-2)이 설치된다. 조형판구동부(11)에는 규제가이드부(11-2) 및 탄성가이드부(11-1)가 설치되고, 탄성가이드부(11-1)에는 탄성 판스프링(12-2)이 설치된다.A connecting portion regulating projection 12-1 is provided at one side of the forming plate connecting portion 12 and an elastic plate spring 12-2 is provided at the other side. The shaping plate driving section 11 is provided with a regulation guide section 11-2 and an elastic guide section 11-1 and the elastic guide section 11-1 is provided with an elastic leaf spring 12-2.
조형판구동부(11)가 상향 이동하면 이와 연동하여 조형판 연결부(12)도 상향 이동하고, 이때 연결부규제돌기(12-1)가 설치된 측은 즉시 상향 이동하지만, 규제돌기(12-1)가 설치되지 않은 타측은 탄성스프링(12-2)의 탄성 압력하에 탄성스프링(12-2)이 압축되면서 지연되어 상승하고 이것은 결국 조형판연결부(12)의 틸팅으로 이어지고, 결국 조형판(13)은 성형면에 대하여 틸팅하면서 이형한다. 따라서, 본 발명에 따른 3D프린터는 조형판이 수지조의 성형면에서 이형될 때 틸팅동작을 하면서 이형하도록 하여 조형판과 성형면 전체가 한번에 이형하는 것이 아니라, 성형면의 일부 면이 먼저 이형되도록 하여 이형을 용이하게 해 준다.When the shaping plate driving part 11 is moved upward, the shaping plate connecting part 12 also moves upwards. At this time, the side where the connecting part regulating protrusion 12-1 is installed is immediately moved upward, but the regulating protrusion 12-1 The elastic plate 12-2 is compressed while the other side of the elastic plate 12-2 is compressed under the elastic pressure of the elastic plate 12-2 and the elastic plate 12-2 is delayed to rise and this eventually leads to the tilting of the plate connecting portion 12, Disengaging with tilting against the plane. Therefore, in the 3D printer according to the present invention, when the shaping plate is released from the shaping surface of the resin tank, the shaping plate and the shaping surface are not entirely released at a time by releasing the shaping plate while tilting, .
본 발명은 조형판이 하강하는 경우의 실시예도 마찬가지로 작용이 가능하며, 이 실시예도 본 발명에 포함된다.The present invention can be applied to the embodiment in the case where the shaping plate descends, and this embodiment is also included in the present invention.
한편, 본 발명의 노광부(50)는 레이저방식, 프로젝트 방식, 및 LCD 방식 등 다양한 광학기기를 이용할 수 있다. Meanwhile, the exposure unit 50 of the present invention can use various optical devices such as a laser system, a project system, and an LCD system.
특히, LCD방식의 노광부는 초점거리가 다른 광원보다 상대적으로 짧아 성형면에 밀착하거나 근접하게 설치할 수 있다. 이때, LCD 광원은 수지조 또는 액면 규제 투명바닥판과 일체가 되어 본 발명의 규제부와 완충부재에 의해 비평탄 상승 또는 비평탄하강을 할 수 있다. 결국, LCD방식의 노광부는 광원과 성형면이 상대적으로 짧아 대형 성형물의 성형이 용이하고 그 만큼 조형판이 넓어 본 발명과 같은 틸팅방식의 이형을 적용 시 더욱 유용하다. 따라서, LCD 방식의 노광부도 본 발명에 포함된다.In particular, the exposure unit of the LCD system is relatively short in the focal distance compared with other light sources, and can be installed close to or close to the molding surface. At this time, the LCD light source is integrally formed with the resin plate or the liquid level regulating transparent bottom plate, and can be lifted or unlatched unrestrained by the regulating portion and the buffer member of the present invention. As a result, the exposed part of the LCD system is relatively useful for applying a tilting type release mold such as the present invention, since the light source and the molding surface are relatively short, so that the molding of a large molded product is easy and the molding plate is wide. Therefore, an exposure unit of the LCD system is also included in the present invention.
