[0032] See also Figure 1 The paper guide rack 10 for the cutting machine of the embodiment of the present application includes: a mounting rack 100 and a paper feed rack 200. The top of the mounting rack 100 is located on the same horizontal plane as the printing outlet of the printer and the cutting inlet of the cutting machine. The paper feed rack 200 is a hollow structure with a paper guide inlet 210 on the front side and a paper guide outlet 220 on the rear side. The paper guide inlet 210 of the paper feed rack 200 is a trumpet-shaped structure that matches the printing outlet of the printer. The paper guide outlet 220 of the paper feed rack 200 extends above the cutting inlet of the cutting machine.

[0033] In this embodiment, the paper guide rack 10 is used to fill the distance gap between the printer and the cutting machine, and it can ensure that the photos to be cut printed by the printer can smoothly enter the cutting entrance of the cutting machine from the printing outlet of the printer. Specifically, the mounting rack 100 is arranged between the printer and the cutting machine, and is used to support the paper feed rack 200 above, and the paper feed rack 200 is a hollow structure, and a paper guide inlet 210 corresponding to the printing outlet of the printer is opened on the front side, and a paper guide outlet 220 corresponding to the cutting entrance of the cutting machine is opened on the rear side, and the top of the mounting rack 100 is inclined, so that the vertical height of the paper guide inlet 210 is higher than the vertical height of the paper guide outlet 220. After the paper feed rack 200 is aligned with the printing outlet of the printer and the cutting entrance of the cutting machine respectively, the photos to be cut printed by the printer can smoothly enter the cutting entrance position of the cutting machine, thereby filling the interval between the printing outlet of the printer and the cutting entrance of the cutting machine, and preventing the printed photos to be cut from falling from the interval gap, affecting the cutting of the photos and the overall efficiency.

[0034] It should be noted that the cutting machine and printer used in this application are both existing feasible technologies, and the height of the cutting machine and the printer can be adjusted by using a shelf, which will not be described in detail here.

[0035] In a specific embodiment, the top of the mounting frame 100 is tilted, and the height of the paper feed frame 200 is gradually reduced from the paper guide inlet 210 of the paper feed frame 200 to the paper guide outlet 220 of the paper feed frame 200, so that there is a height difference between the paper guide inlet 210 and the paper guide outlet 220 of the paper feed frame 200, and the height of the paper guide inlet 210 is higher than the height of the paper guide outlet 220. The photos to be cut printed by the printer will be smoothly transferred from the paper guide inlet 210 to the paper guide outlet 220 due to the height difference between the paper guide inlet 210 and the paper guide outlet 220.

[0036] In the present embodiment, the height of the paper feeder 200 is gradually reduced along the direction from the paper guide inlet 210 of the paper feeder 200 to the paper guide outlet 220 of the paper feeder 200, so that the cross-section of the paper feeder 200 along the direction perpendicular to the printer to the cutting machine is a right-angled trapezoidal structure, so that the area of ​​the paper guide outlet 220 is much smaller than the area of ​​the paper guide inlet 210, thereby preventing the photos to be cut from shaking inside the paper feeder 200 and improving the overall paper feeding accuracy.

[0037] In a specific embodiment, the paper guide inlet 210 of the paper feed rack 200 is in a trumpet-shaped structure, so that the entrance of the paper guide inlet 210 is higher and wider, which is easy to introduce the photos to be cut and can prevent the photos to be cut from wrinkling, thereby expanding the cross-sectional area of ​​the paper guide inlet 210 in the vertical direction.

[0038] In a specific embodiment, during use, the mounting frame 100 is disposed between the printer and the cutting machine. When the spacing distance is small, it is not convenient to adjust the position of the mounting frame 100 between the printer and the cutting machine. In the present application, a gripping groove 130 is provided on the side wall of the mounting frame 100. The gripping groove 130 is located at the edge position in the middle of the side wall. The mounting frame 100 can be adjusted in position by grasping the gripping groove 130 provided on the side wall, so that the paper guide inlet 210 can correspond to the printing inlet of the printer, and the paper guide outlet 220 can correspond to the cutting inlet of the cutting machine, which is convenient for manual dragging and picking up. Specifically, there are four gripping grooves 130, and there are two gripping grooves 130 provided on each side wall, and they are all located on the same horizontal plane.

[0039] According to the above embodiment, one end of the top of the mounting frame 100 is a printer fixed end, which corresponds to the paper guide inlet 210 of the paper feed rack 200, and the other end is a cutter fixed end, which corresponds to the paper guide outlet 220 of the paper feed rack 200. The top of the mounting frame 100 is tilted, and the vertical height of the cutter fixed end is lower than the vertical height of the printer fixed end.

[0040] In this embodiment, the top and bottom of the mounting frame 100 are both planar structures. The planar bottom of the mounting frame 100 can fix the mounting frame 100 between the printer and the cutting machine, providing stability for the paper feed rack 200 on the top of the mounting frame 100, so that the photos to be cut can pass through the paper feed rack 200 smoothly.

[0041] In this embodiment, a fixing plate 110 is extended from the printer fixing end of the mounting frame 100 toward the cutting machine fixing end away from the mounting frame 100, and the extended fixing plate 110 is used to fix the paper guide frame 10 and the printer's outlet position. Specifically, the printer's print outlet is a square through hole, and the extended fixing plate 110 is a square plate-shaped structure. The fixing plate 110 matches the printer's print outlet, can be embedded inside the printer's print outlet, and fits the bottom wall of the printer's print outlet, connecting the paper feed frame 200 and the printer's print outlet, so that the printed photos to be cut can smoothly enter the inside of the paper feed frame 200 from the print outlet.

[0042] In this embodiment, a fixing groove 120 is recessed at the fixing end of the cutting machine of the mounting frame 100, facing the fixing end of the printer away from the mounting frame 100, for fixing and mounting the cutting inlet of the cutting machine. Specifically, the fixing groove 120 has a square cross section and can match the cutting inlet of the cutting machine. The mounting frame 100 is embedded on the plate surface of the cutting inlet through the fixing groove 120, connecting the paper feed frame 200 and the cutting inlet of the cutting machine, so that the photos to be cut can smoothly enter the cutting inlet position of the cutting machine from the inside of the paper feed frame 200.

[0043] In one specific embodiment, the cross-section of the mounting frame 100 is square.

[0044] In a specific embodiment, the mounting frame 100 and the paper feed frame 200 are made of steel to increase the overall service life.

[0045] The embodiments of the present application have been described above, and the above description is exemplary, not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and changes will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments.
