  • Publication number: 20240134167
    Abstract: An optical path folding element includes a main body, a light absorption film layer and a matte structure. The main body has optical surface including an incident surface, a reflective surface and an emitting surface. A light enters into the optical folding element through the incident surface. The reflective surface reflects the light so as to change a traveling direction thereof. The light exits the optical folding element through the emitting surface. The light absorbing film layer is configured to reduce reflectance and provided adjacent to at least part of the optical surface, and the light absorbing film layer is in physical contact with the main body. The matte structure is disposed adjacent to at least part of the optical surface. The matte structure provides an undulating profile on a surface of the optical path folding element, and the matte structure is formed in one-piece with the main body.

  • Patent number: 11945156
    Abstract: A three-dimensional printing apparatus includes a liquid tank capable of accommodating a photosensitive liquid. The liquid tank includes a film, a plurality of side walls, a plate and a motor. The film has a workpiece curing area. The plurality of side walls surrounds the film. The plate is capable of supporting the film and having at least one fluid tunnel extending from a first surface of the plate contacting the film to a second surface of the plate. The motor is connected to the liquid tank to incline the liquid tank. A gap is formed between the plat and one of the plurality of side walls of the liquid tank, and the film is communicated with an outside space via the gap.

  • Patent number: 9175777
    Abstract: A flow controller is provided. The controller includes a shell body, a first supporting member, a driving shaft and an elliptical valve. The shell body has a passage passed therethrough. The first supporting member is assembled to the shell body. The driving shaft is assembled to the first supporting member. The elliptical valve is pivotally assembled in the passage and is connected with the driving shaft. The elliptical valve is rotated by the driving shaft for opening or closing the passage. When the passage is closed by the elliptical valve, the elliptical valve tightly abuts against an inner circular wall of the shell body for completely closing the passage, so that the controller is suitable in a high temperature and high pressure environment.
