    Abstract: A 3D printing device having a main body, a forming platform, an infrared thermometer, a heater, a thermocouple and a calibrator is provided. A forming chamber is defined in the main body. The forming platform is accommodated in the forming chamber, and a top surface thereof forms a bottom of the forming chamber. A reference surface is defined in the forming chamber, and the reference surface has an infrared radiance approximate to the powder. The infrared thermometer in the main body is disposed above and toward the reference surface. The heater is disposed in the main body to conductively heat the reference surface. The thermocouple is arranged adjacent to the reference surface. The calibrator is electrically connected to the infrared thermometer and the thermocouple to compare respective measured temperatures of the reference surface, and thereby determine if the infrared thermometer should be cleared.

  • Publication number: 20190016164
    Abstract: An ink-jet head protection device used in a building area having accumulated powder is provided. The ink-jet head protection device includes a movable base and an airflow guiding mechanism. The movable base includes an ink-jet head base. The ink-jet head base includes one or more ink-jet heads. The ink-jet head is arranged corresponding to the building area. The airflow guiding mechanism is assembled to the movable base. The airflow guiding mechanism generates a dust separating airflow and includes an airflow opening for guiding the dust separating airflow flowing between the ink-jet head and the building area. The dust separating airflow is used to isolate the powder spilled from the building area. Accordingly, the airflow guiding mechanism generates the dust separating airflow flowing between the ink-jet head and the building area.

  • Patent number: 9225862
    Abstract: A buffer structure is configured to an office machine including a base and a cover pivotally connected to the base provided. The buffer structure includes a first engaging portion fixed to the cover, a rotation member and an elastic member. The rotation member includes a rotation shaft pivotally connected to the base, a second engaging portion located on a rotation path of the first engaging portion, and a fixing portion. The elastic member includes a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The first end and the second end are fixed to the base and the fixing portion. When the cover rotates toward the base, the first engaging portion is engaged to the second engaging portion to drive the rotation member to rotate along a first clock direction, and the elastic member is deformed to exert a moment to the rotation member along a second clock direction.
