A first gear 51 is disposed at one end of the paper discharge roller 50, and a second gear 23 matching the first gear 51 is disposed on the print head 20. The second gear 23 on the print head 20 can mesh with the first gear 51 on the paper discharge roller 50 to drive the paper discharge roller 50 to rotate, so that the printed photos are delivered from the paper discharge port 43.

[0063] Specifically, Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, two protruding positioning blocks 44 are provided on the inner wall of the second side of the bin door 40 , and the paper discharge roller 50 is rotatably connected to the two positioning blocks 44 .

[0064] The first gear 51 is fixed to one end of the paper discharge roller 50, and the second gear 23 is fixed to the print head 20 and corresponds to the first gear 51. The second gear 23 is driven by the driving motor in the print head 20. When the door 40 closes the openings of the printing cavity 16 and the paper storage bin 17, the paper discharge roller 50 is located between the print head 20 and the inner wall of the door 40, and the first gear 51 on the paper discharge roller 50 and the second gear 23 on the print head 20 are meshed with each other. After the printing paper 60 is printed by the print head 20, it is sent out after passing through the paper discharge roller 50 and the paper outlet 43.

[0065] It is important to understand that Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the position of the first gear 51 on the paper discharge roller 50 can be relatively adjusted to accommodate print heads 20 of different sizes.

[0066] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, the rapid imaging camera 100 further includes a sawtooth piece 42. The sawtooth piece 42 is fixed on the second side of the compartment door 40, and the sawtooth piece 42 is located at the edge of the paper outlet 43 so as to be able to cut the printing paper 60.

[0067] Specifically, the sawtooth piece 42 has a plurality of triangular saw teeth arranged side by side, and when the door 40 is closed, the triangular saw teeth of the sawtooth piece 42 are located at the lower edge of the paper outlet 43. After the printed printing paper 60 is delivered from the paper outlet 43, the user can cut the printing paper 60 by pulling the printing paper 60 downward.

[0068] See also Figure 8 and Fig. 9 In some embodiments, a detachable connection method between the print head 20 and the print chamber 16 is also provided.

[0069] The rapid imaging camera 100 further includes a connecting member 24, a first connecting portion 22 is provided on the print head 20, and a second connecting portion 161 corresponding to the first connecting portion 22 is provided in the printing cavity 16 of the body 10. The connecting member 24 is passed through and fixed on the first connecting portion 22 and the second connecting portion 161, so that the print head 20 is fixed in the printing cavity 16.

[0070] In some embodiments, there are multiple first connecting parts 22, the first connecting parts 22 on each print head 20 are the same size, and the intervals between adjacent first connecting parts on each print head 20 are equal, so that print heads 20 of different sizes can be fixed in the printing cavity 16.

[0071] For example, Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the connecting member 24 is a screw, the first connecting portion 22 is two through holes spaced apart from each other, and the second connecting portion 161 is two threaded holes spaced apart from each other. The screw passes through the through hole on the print head 20 and is connected to the threaded hole on the body 10 to fix the print head 20 to the body 10. Fixing the print head 20 by screws not only satisfies the detachable connection between the print head 20 and the body 10, but also satisfies the installation stability of the print head 20.

[0072] It should be understood that the shapes, sizes and adjacent spacing distances of the first connecting portions 22 on the print heads 20 of different sizes are the same so that they can all be installed in the printing cavity 16 .

[0073] It is conceivable that, in some other embodiments, the first connection portion 22 on the print head 20 and the second connection portion 161 on the body 10 can be detachably connected by means of mutual snap-fitting, mortise and tenon connection, etc.

[0074] See also Figures 2 to 6 In some embodiments, two baffles 30 are provided in the paper storage bin 17 , and the two baffles 30 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the axial direction of the paper storage bin 17 to abut and fix the two end surfaces of the printing paper 60 .

[0075] It is conceivable that only one, four, six, etc. baffles 30 may be provided, as long as the printing papers 60 of different sizes can be abutted and positioned.

[0076] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the baffle 30 includes a plate body 31 and a mounting post 32 connected to the plate body 31 , and the mounting post 32 extends along the axial direction of the paper storage bin 17 .

[0077] The side walls at both ends of the paper storage bin 17 are provided with through holes matching the mounting posts 32, and the mounting posts 32 are slidably connected in the through holes. The mounting posts 32 can move left and right along the axis of the through holes, so that the plate body 31 can move left and right along the axis of the paper storage bin 17.

[0078] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the rapid imaging camera 100 further includes an elastic member 34. The elastic member 34 is disposed on the mounting column 32 and abuts against the side wall of the paper storage bin 17 and the plate body 31 respectively.

[0079] When the plate 31 moves toward the side wall close to the paper storage bin 17 , the elastic member 34 is compressed; when the plate 31 moves toward the side wall away from the paper storage bin 17 , the elastic member 34 restores its elastic deformation and makes the plate 31 abut against the end surface of the printing paper 60 .

[0080] Specifically, the elastic member 34 in this embodiment is a compression spring, which is located between the plate 31 and the side wall of the paper storage bin 17, and is used to provide a clamping force for the baffle 30 so that the baffle 30 can press against the two end surfaces of the printing paper 60 to fix printing papers 60 of different sizes.

[0081] See also Figures 4 to 6 In some embodiments, the blocking piece 30 further includes a slider 33. The slider 33 is disposed on one side of the plate body 31 facing the bottom wall of the paper storage bin 17. The bottom wall of the paper storage bin 17 of the body 10 is provided with a guide groove 171 matching the slider 33, and the slider 33 is slidably connected in the guide groove 171.

[0082] By inserting the slider 33 on the blocking piece 30 into the guide groove 171 on the body 10 , the left and right movement of the blocking piece 30 can be made more stable, and the blocking piece 30 can be effectively prevented from getting stuck.

[0083] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, a plurality of sensing contacts 172 are disposed in the guide groove 171 , and the sensing contacts 172 are used to identify the position information of the plate body 31 .

[0084] By calculating the relative positions of the two plates 31, the size of the printing paper 60 between the plates 31 of the two baffles 30 can be obtained and displayed on the body 10. The user can also select a print head 20 of a corresponding size according to the size to assemble with the body 10 to achieve the matching of the printing paper 60 and the print head 20.

[0085] See also Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Fig.10In some embodiments, the rapid imaging camera 100 further includes an identifier 173 , which is disposed in the paper storage bin 17 , and a signal reading end of the identifier 173 faces the printing paper, so that the identifier 173 can recognize an identification code on the printing paper 60 .

[0086] Among them, Fig.10 As shown, the printing paper 60 includes an identification code area 61 and a printing area 62, wherein the identification code area 61 has an identification code. In addition, there may be multiple identification code areas 61, and the identification codes thereof may be visible to the naked eye or invisible to the naked eye.

[0087] The identification code can reflect the size of the printing paper 60 itself and the shape and position of the printing area 62. The shape of the printing area 62 can be regular or irregular. The signal reading end on the identifier 173 can identify the identification code in the printing paper 60, so as to select an appropriate printing method according to the information of the printing paper 60 identified.

[0088] In summary, the present embodiment provides a rapid imaging camera 100, which includes a body 10, a plurality of replaceable print heads 20, and a baffle 30 slidably connected to the body 10. The print head 20 is detachably connected to the body 10, so that the print head 20 of the rapid imaging camera 100 can be replaced. The baffle 30 can slide along the axial direction of the paper storage bin 17 of the body 10, so that the baffle 30 is abutted and fixed with the end surface of the printing paper 60 of different sizes, so as to fix the printing paper 60 of different sizes in the paper storage bin 17. Therefore, the user can replace the print head 20 and the printing paper 60 of different sizes or types according to their own needs to realize the printing of color, black and white or different sizes of photos. It greatly expands the scope of application of the camera, and the usage methods are diverse, which improves the user experience.
