In this embodiment, the detection device is a limit switch, the limit switch is installed on the second end cap 13, and an activation end of the limit switch is disposed facing the fixing device 50, when the driving device 40 drives the screw rod 30 to rotate so that the fixing device 50 moves to an end of the screw rod 30 far away from the driving device 40, the fixing device 50 abuts against the limit switch to activate the limit switch, and the limit switch sends a signal and controls the driving device 40 to drive the screw rod 30 to rotate reversely so that the fixing device 50 moves towards the driving device 40.
Referring to fig. 6, in another aspect, the embodiment of the invention further provides a 3D printer 200, which includes a mounting platform 210, a printing table 220, a printing head 230, an unwinding device 240, a control panel 250, and the linear driving module 100, wherein the printing table 220, the printing head 230, the unwinding device 240, the control panel 250, and the linear driving module 100 are all mounted on the mounting platform 210. The printing table 220 is used for bearing a printing medium, the printing head 230 is used for performing printing processing on the printing medium, the unwinding device 240 is used for storing a printing material and outputting the printing material to the printing head 230, and the control panel 250 is used for providing a user operation interface to control the operation of the 3D printer 200.
In this embodiment, the 3D printer 200 includes four linear driving modules 100, and at least one linear driving module 100 is respectively disposed in the directions of the X axis, the Y axis, and the Z axis of the 3D printer 200. Specifically, in the X-axis direction, a linear driving module 100 is disposed parallel to the mounting platform 210 and is fixedly mounted on the mounting platform 210, the printing table 220 is fixedly mounted on the fixing device 50 of the linear driving module 100, and the linear driving module 100 can drive the printing table 220 to reciprocate along the X-axis direction. In the Z-axis direction, the two linear driving modules 100 are symmetrical to both sides of the linear driving module 100 disposed in the X-axis direction, and the two linear driving modules 100 are perpendicular to the mounting platform 210 and are fixedly mounted on the mounting platform 210. In the Y-axis direction, both ends of one linear driving module 100 are respectively and fixedly mounted on the fixing devices 50 of two linear driving modules 100 in the Z-axis direction, two linear driving modules 100 in the Z-axis direction can simultaneously drive the linear driving module 100 in the Y-axis direction to reciprocate along the Z-axis direction, the printing head 230 is fixedly mounted on the fixing devices 50 of the linear driving modules 100 in the Y-axis direction, and the linear driving module 100 in the Y-axis direction can drive the printing head 230 to reciprocate along the Y-axis direction. The unwinding device 240 is fixedly installed on the linear driving module 100 in the Z-axis direction, and the unwinding device 240 is used for storing printing materials and delivering the printing materials to the print head 230.
