[0033] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a photo printer cabinet comprises a cabinet body 1, in which a printer 8 and an electrical box 12 are arranged. An upper shelf 10 and a lower shelf 11 are arranged in the cabinet body 1, a paper feed 10.1 is arranged on the upper shelf 10 near the front side thereof, a printer rack 9 is arranged behind the paper feed 10.1, and a printer 8 is arranged on the printer rack 9. A receiving cavity 20 is formed between the lower shelf 11 and the upper shelf 10, and the paper feed 10.1 is connected with the receiving container 20, so that photo paper can enter the receiving cavity 20 through the paper feed 10.1. Ventilation and heat dissipation structures 12 are arranged on both sides of the cabinet body 1, and four casters 6 are arranged at the bottom thereof to facilitate overall movement.

[0035] To facilitate wiring, a wiring hole A10.2 is provided near one side edge of the upper shelf 10. Similarly, a wiring hole B11.1 is provided on the lower shelf 11 at a position corresponding to the wiring hole A10.2. The electrical box 12 is on the side wall of the cabinet 1 below the lower shelf 11, and a wiring hole C12.1 is provided on the front side thereof. The cables of the electrical equipment on the cabinet door 1 pass through the wiring hole A10.2, the wiring hole B11.1 and the wiring hole C12.1 and then enter the electrical box 12.

[0036] A power connector 14 is provided at the bottom of the rear wall of the cabinet 1 , and the power connector 14 is electrically connected to the electrical box 12 , and its external interface is connected to the 220V mains electricity through a power line.

[0037] A cabinet door 2 is installed at the front opening of the cabinet body 1, and the cabinet body 1 is sealed by the cabinet door 2, which has the function of waterproof and dustproof protection.

[0038] The cabinet door 2 is provided with openings A2.1, B2.2, and C2.3 from top to bottom. The opening A2.1 is close to the top of the cabinet door 2, where an interactive screen 3 is installed. The interactive screen 3 is fixed to the back of the cabinet door 2 through a screen mounting shell 15. The interactive screen 3 is electrically connected to the electrical box 12. A display cabinet 4 is installed at a position corresponding to the opening B2.2 on the back of the cabinet door 2, and a display glass window is installed at the opening B2.2. Three display tables 4.1 are provided on the bottom surface of the display cabinet 4 for placing displayed goods. The opening C2.3 is located in the middle of the cabinet door 2, where a paper removal door 5 is provided. The interactive screen 3 is used for human-computer interaction to realize the input of user operation instructions and the output of equipment operation information. The interactive screen 3 can be interconnected with the user's smart terminal data through communication equipment to realize photo printing. The specific method belongs to the prior art, so it is not repeated.

[0039] As a preferred example, a circle of sealing block 1.1 is provided at the front opening of cabinet 1, and a circle of sealing strip corresponding to sealing block 1.1 is provided at cabinet door 2. A skirt structure extending to one side is provided at the front of sealing block 1.1, and after cabinet door 2 is closed, the sealing strip on cabinet door 2 forms a seal with the front end surface of sealing block 1.1, and the skirt structure can prevent rainwater falling on the structure from staying on the sealing surface, thereby improving the waterproof effect.

[0040] The back of the cabinet door 2 is also equipped with a communication device 7 and a slideway 13, and the communication device 7 is fixed on the screen mounting shell 15 through a device mounting shell 16. The communication device 7 is electrically connected to the electrical box 12, and its function is to send and receive signals wirelessly.

[0041] The slide 13 is arranged at the rear of the display cabinet 4. When the cabinet door 2 is closed, the top opening of the slide 13 corresponds to the paper outlet of the printer 8, and the bottom opening thereof is aligned with the paper inlet 10.1. After the photo paper is discharged from the printer, it falls into the slide 13 and then enters the receiving chamber 20 through the paper inlet 101.

[0042] Since the photo paper slides downward under the action of gravity, if the corners of the photo paper directly contact the lower shelf 11, the corners will be bent, affecting the final quality. For this reason, this example is also provided with a component that can slow down the falling speed of the photo paper. Specifically, three inclined buffer plates 18 are arranged in sequence from top to bottom in the slide 13, and the buffer plates 18 are arranged on the front and rear walls of the slide 13 in an alternating manner. Since the photo paper will be decelerated by friction after contacting the buffer plates 18, the impact force of the photo paper falling on the lower shelf 11 is reduced, thereby achieving buffering.

[0043] As a preferred example, the buffer plates 18 can be arranged as follows: the distance between the lower edge of the upper buffer plate 18 and the upper edge of the buffer plate 18 below it is less than the length of the photo paper. The purpose of this is that when the photo paper slides onto the next buffer plate 18, it is still in contact with the previous buffer plate 18, which can further increase the contact time between the photo paper and the buffer plate 18, thereby reducing the falling speed.

[0044] As a preferred example, a buffer pad 19 is further provided on the lower shelf 11. The buffer pad 19 is a sponge pad or a non-woven pad. Its purpose is to provide a relatively soft landing condition so that the photo paper falls on the buffer pad 19 to avoid impact and bending.

[0045] As a preferred example, a light bar 17 is provided in both the upper shelf 10 and the display cabinet 4. The light bar 17 provides a lighting source so that the user can observe the commodities in the display cabinet 4 more clearly.

[0046] When the present invention is used, the user obtains the printing right by scanning the QR code on the interactive screen 3, and then sends the photo to be printed to the printing device 8 of the present invention through the communication device, and then the printing device 8 prints the photo after receiving the instruction. The photo falls into the slide 13 and finally falls into the receiving chamber 20, and the user opens the paper taking door 5 to take the photo out.

[0047] The matters not described in detail in the present invention are all known technologies to those skilled in the art.

[0048] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, and a specific direction structure and operation, and therefore, cannot be understood as a limitation of the present invention. In addition, "first" and "second" are only for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.
