[0018] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a refrigerator magnet printing cabinet includes a cabinet body 1, and casters 2 are provided at the bottom of the cabinet body 1 to facilitate the movement of the whole unit.

[0020] The front of cabinet 1 has a retrieval opening 3 and an interactive device 4. Inside, there is a printer 5, a box ejection device 6, and a slide rail 7. As a method of opening the cabinet, in this example, the front of cabinet 1 is designed to be openable, meaning a cabinet door 8 is installed on its front. When closed, the cabinet door 8 serves as a display surface for user interaction. The cabinet door 8 has the retrieval opening 3 and the interactive device 4, and is connected to cabinet 1 via a door lock 9. The interactive device 4 includes a display screen 10 and a voice announcer 11. The display screen 10 is used to receive user input commands and display relevant interfaces, such as selecting the pattern and style of the refrigerator magnet to be printed, generating a QR code for the user to scan and place an order, paying the corresponding amount, confirming the printing command, displaying the finished effect of the refrigerator magnet, and displaying a printing countdown, etc. The voice announcer 11 broadcasts voice messages as needed. For example, when there are orders, it will prompt the production progress; when there are no orders, it will prompt promotional voice messages such as "Come and print xx" to attract customers. The specific principles and processes are all existing technologies. This invention does not involve any improvement to the structure of the interactive device 4 itself, so they will not be described in detail.

[0021] The retrieval opening 3 is located near the bottom of the cabinet door 8, and is used by the user to take the goods out of the retrieval opening 3.

[0022] The box ejection device 6 has a box compartment 12 and a box ejector 13. The box ejector 13 is located at the bottom of the box compartment 12. The slide 7 is connected to the retrieval port 3 and receives the photo paper output by the printer 5 and the packaging box 24 output by the box ejector 13. Specifically, the box compartment 12 is made of iron plate by sheet metal processing. It has a rectangular cavity in which multiple packaging boxes 24 are stacked. The bottom of the box compartment has a box ejection port 14. The size of the box ejection port 14 is slightly larger than the side of a packaging box 24, so that only one packaging box 24 can be ejected at a time.

[0023] More specifically, the front side of the box compartment 12 has a slot for easy loading and unloading of the packaging box 24. As a preferred example, the box ejector 13 is a motor-driven conveyor belt, and the bottom of the box compartment 12 has a corresponding conveyor belt extending to the opening of the box ejection port 14. That is, the upper surface of the conveyor belt is not lower than the opening, allowing the bottom surface of the bottom packaging box 24 in the box compartment 12 to contact the upper surface of the conveyor belt. After the conveyor belt starts running, it uses friction to push the bottom packaging box 24 forward from the box ejection port 14. It should be noted that the conveyor belt is made of a material with a high coefficient of surface friction to provide sufficient friction to eject the packaging box 24. As a preferred example, a rubber conveyor belt is used.

[0024] As a preferred example, the cabinet door 8 is provided with a display window 15, which is located above the retrieval opening 3. The display window 15 has multiple display positions for displaying goods for user reference.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment, a baffle 16 is provided at the retrieval opening 3, and the upper edge of the baffle 16 is hinged to the top of the retrieval opening 3. Under the action of gravity, the baffle 16 is in a vertical state, thus providing some obstruction to the retrieval opening 3. When an external force is applied to it, it can be pushed open from the outside to the inside, thereby facilitating the reaching and retrieval of the object.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, a machine platform 17 is installed inside the cabinet 1. The printer 5 and the tray ejector 6 are both mounted on the machine platform 17, with a slide 7 located below it. The machine platform 17 has a paper drop opening 18 and a tray ejector opening 19. After printing, the photo paper slides down through the paper drop opening 18 and finally falls into the slide 7 below. Similarly, after the tray ejector 6 outputs the packaging box 24, the packaging box 24 falls down through the tray ejector opening 19 and finally falls into the slide 7 below.

[0027] As a preferred example, three box-dispensing devices 6 are provided and arranged side by side. Each box-dispensing device 6 can hold a specific style of packaging box 24, providing users with more product choices.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment, a box dispensing detector 20 is installed at the bottom of the box compartment 12 in the box dispensing direction, and a quantity detector 21 is installed near the bottom. When a package 24 is dispensed from the box compartment 12, the box dispensing detector 20 is triggered to generate a signal, thereby enabling the counting of dispensed boxes. As the number of package 24 in the box compartment 12 decreases, their stacking height also decreases. When the quantity detector 21 is triggered to generate a signal, it prompts the staff to replenish the package 24 in a timely manner to avoid box shortages. As a preferred embodiment, the quantity detector 21 is set at a height of 10 package tucks. Therefore, when there are fewer than 10 package tucks in the box compartment, a signal is generated to prompt the staff to replenish the package tucks. The box dispensing detector 20 can be a capacitive proximity switch of type LJC12A3-2-Z / BX or a diffuse reflection photoelectric switch of type E3F-DS5C4. The quantity detector 21 can be a capacitive proximity switch of type LJC12A3-2-Z / AY or a diffuse reflection photoelectric switch of type E3F-DS5C2.

[0029] As a preferred example, the top of the cabinet 1 is provided with a canopy 22 extending forward. The canopy 22 has an outer extension of 600-800mm, which can provide sunshade or rain protection for the user in use.

[0030] As a preferred example, a radiator 23 is also provided on the rear side of the cabinet 1 for heat dissipation and cooling inside the cabinet.

[0031] It should be noted that the printing cabinet in this example only involves structural improvements, not improvements to the circuitry and control methods. As for the electrical components, their operation relies on power supply and controller control based on line connections, which is existing technology and will not be elaborated upon.

[0032] Working process and principle of the present invention After standing in front of the cabinet, the user selects the desired product using the interactive device and enters the print command. Upon receiving the command, the printer begins printing, and the printed photo paper falls into the chute. Simultaneously, the accompanying packaging box is output by the ejector and also falls into the chute. The user retrieves the photo and packaging box from the retrieval port, packs it themselves, and then leaves.
