One of the left baffle 532 and the right baffle 533 is elastically connected with the printing platform 53, so that the left baffle 532 and the right baffle 533 can cooperate to elastically clamp the mobile phone shell 100 inserted thereinto. In the embodiment, the front baffle 531 and the right baffle 533 are fixedly arranged on the printing platform 53, and the left side of the left baffle 532 is elastically connected with a fixed frame 535 arranged on the printing platform 53 through a spring 534. The printing head 52 and the printing platform 53 can move relative to the printer base 51, and one of the movement directions is the X-axis direction, and the other is the Y-axis direction, so that the printing range of the printing head 52 can cover the mobile phone shell 100 on the printing platform 53. In this arrangement, the front baffle 531, the left baffle 532 and the right baffle 533 arranged on the printing platform 53 form a printing position with one side open, so that the clamping mechanism 41 can directly insert the mobile phone shell 100 into the printing position from the open side. By elastically connecting one of the left baffle 532 and the right baffle 533 with the printing platform 53, the left baffle 532 and the right baffle 533 can cooperate to elastically clamp the mobile phone shell 100 inserted thereinto, which can not only position the mobile phone shell 100, but also adapt to mobile phone shells 100 of different models and widths.
[0036] As a preferred arrangement of the embodiment, the clamping surface of at least one of the left baffle 532 and the right baffle 533 is provided with an outwardly inclined slope at the entrance of the printing position. The slope can play a guiding role. When the clamping mechanism 41 clamps the mobile phone shell 100 and inserts it towards the printing position, if the front end of the mobile phone shell 100 is inclined or misaligned with the entrance of the printing position, the slope can guide the mobile phone shell 100 to enter between the left baffle 532 and the right baffle 533.
[0037] As a preferred scheme of the embodiment, the shelf 3 is erected in the cabinet 1 and divides the space in the cabinet 1 into two areas, the front area and the rear area, the pickup opening 11 is located at the front side of the shelf 3, the pickup mechanism 4 is located at the rear side of the shelf 3, and at least one inclined slide 32 is further arranged on the shelf 3, the slide 32 connects the front and rear areas of the shelf 3, the outlet of the slide 32 is lower and connected to the pickup opening 11, the pickup mechanism 4 can take out the mobile phone case 100 in any storage compartment 31 and move to the printing mechanism 5 for printing, and can move the printed mobile phone case 100 to the inlet of the slide 32, so that the mobile phone case 100 can be automatically transported to the pickup opening 11 through the slide 32. By arranging the slide 32 on the shelf 3, the pickup mechanism 4 only needs to send the mobile phone case 100 to the slide 32 for automatic delivery when delivering, and does not need to be sent to the pickup opening 11, nor does it need to be arranged in the area outside the shelf 3 to occupy space, so that the shelf 3 can be designed to occupy or substantially occupy the cabinet 1, so that the space utilization rate in the cabinet 1 is higher, the structure is more compact, and the number of mobile phone cases 100 that can be accommodated is also more. Preferably, a buffer passage 33 for slowing down or stopping the falling mobile phone case 100 is arranged between the pickup opening 11 and the outlet of the slide 32, and the mobile phone case 100 falling from the slide 32 can fall into the buffer passage 33, so that the mobile phone case 100 can be prevented from directly rushing out of the pickup opening 11 and falling, and the buffer passage 33 is closed around to prevent hands or foreign objects from extending into the cabinet from the pickup opening 11.
