The three-dimensional printing module as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: a sealing part, disposed on the tank and leaning between the cover body and the tank to seal the tank. 3. The three-dimensional printing module as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first axis is perpendicular to the second axis. 4. The three-dimensional printing module as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: a separation film, disposed at a bottom of the tank. 5. The three-dimensional printing module as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: a second tenon, movably assembled to the protrusion portion of the top cover. 6. The three-dimensional printing module as claimed in claim 5, wherein the second tenon comprises a pair of wedge-shaped locking members disposed along the second axis and an elastic member connected between the pair of wedge-shaped locking members, wherein the elastic member constantly drives the pair of wedge-shaped locking members to protrude out of a sidewall of the protrusion portion along the second axis. 7. A three-dimensional printing apparatus, comprising: a base;a driving mechanism, disposed on the base; anda three-dimensional printing module detachably assembled to the base, a part of the driving mechanism being movably located above the three-dimensional printing module, and the three-dimensional printing module comprising:a tank, configured to contain a liquid forming material;a top cover, detachably assembled to the tank to open or close the tank; anda first tenon, movably assembled to the top cover, wherein the first tenon is locked to the tank to close the top cover and fix the top cover to the tank; andat least one consumable module, detachably assembled to the base, the part of the driving mechanism being movably located above the consumable module, wherein the at least one consumable module comprises another tank container, another liquid forming material, another top cover and another modeling platform, wherein when the to cover is locked to the tank through the first tenon, the tank, the top cover, the modeling platform and the liquid forming material in the tank are modularized to be replaced by the at least one consumable module from the three-dimensional printing apparatus,wherein when the driving mechanism and the top cover are assembled to each other, the driving mechanism drives the first tenon to be unlocked from the tank, such that the top cover moves away from the tank along with the driving mechanism to open the tank. 8. The three-dimensional printing apparatus as claimed in claim 7, wherein the three-dimensional printing module further comprises: a sealing part, disposed on the tank and leaning between the cover body and the tank to seal the opening of the tank. 9. The three-dimensional printing apparatus as claimed in claim 7, wherein the three-dimensional printing module further comprises: a modeling platform, assembled to the cover body, located in the tank, and immersed in the liquid forming material, wherein when the top cover moves away from the tank along with the driving mechanism, the modeling platform moves away from the liquid forming material along with the cover body. 10. The three-dimensional printing apparatus as claimed in claim 9, wherein the liquid forming material is cured layer-by-layer to form a three-dimensional object on the modeling platform, and the three-dimensional object moves away from the tank along with the top cover and the modeling platform. 11. The three-dimensional printing apparatus as claimed in claim 9, wherein the three-dimensional printing module further comprises: a separation film, disposed at a bottom of the tank, wherein when the top cover is not assembled to the driving mechanism, the separation film contacts between the modeling platform and the bottom of the tank. 12. The three-dimensional printing apparatus as claimed in claim 7, wherein the first tenon is flexible, and when the driving mechanism and the top cover are assembled to each other, the driving mechanism pushes the part of the driving portion protruding out of the protrusion portion into the protrusion portion, so as to drive the first locking portion to deform relative to the driving portion and release from the locking hole. 13. The three-dimensional printing apparatus as claimed in claim 7, wherein the first tenon has a pair of first locking portions extending away from each other from the driving portion. 14. The three-dimensional printing apparatus as claimed in claim 7, wherein the second tenon comprises a pair of wedge-shaped locking members disposed along the second axis and an elastic member connected between the pair of wedge-shaped locking members, wherein the elastic member constantly drives the pair of wedge-shaped locking members to protrude out of the sidewall of the protrusion portion along the second axis. 15. The three-dimensional printing apparatus as claimed in claim 9, wherein the top cover has a cover body and a protrusion portion located on the cover body, wherein the protrusion portion is configured to connect the driving mechanism, and the cover body is configured to close or open an opening of the tank. 16. The three-dimensional printing apparatus as claimed in claim 15, wherein the first tenon has a driving portion and at least one first locking portion extending from the driving portion, the driving portion is movably disposed in the protrusion portion, and a part of the driving portion protrudes out of the protrusion portion, a part of the first locking portion protrudes out of a side edge of the cover body and is correspondingly locked to a locking hole of the tank, wherein when the driving mechanism and the top cover are assembled to each other, the driving mechanism pushes the part of the driving portion protruding out of the protrusion portion into the protrusion portion, so as to drive the first locking portion to be released from the locking hole. 17.
