[0060] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a printing device, which includes: a device body 1 and a connecting component 2.

[0061] The connection component 2 is located on the surface of the device body 1 and is used to detachably connect to the terminal device 100.

[0062] The device body 1 is provided with a photo paper compartment 12, a first movable door 13 and a photo output port 17.

The printing device and the terminal device 100 can be carried together in the connected state without the need for an additional casing or adapter, making it more convenient to use. The first movable door 13 forms a photo paper 200 compartment inside, which can be used to hold multiple sheets of photo paper 200, ensuring the working endurance of the printing device and thus improving the user experience of the printing device.

[0064] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some possible implementations, the connection component 2 includes a slot structure 21 and a connection plug 22. The slot structure 21 is integrally formed and connected to the device body 1, and the connection plug 22 is located inside the slot structure 21 and is electrically connected to the device body 1.

[0065] The connecting component 2 is used to connect the terminal device 100. The terminal device 100 is plugged into the slot structure 21, and the connecting plug 22 is plugged into the data interface of the terminal device 100.

[0066] The printing device of this embodiment has a slot structure 21 integrally formed on the surface of the device body 1. The terminal device 100 can be plugged into the slot structure 21. At the same time, the connector 22 inside the slot structure 21 is plugged into the data interface of the terminal device 100. The connector 22 is electrically connected to the device body 1. The printing device can directly connect to the terminal device 100 using the connector 22. It has advantages such as stable connection, high transmission quality, high transmission efficiency, and good data security. Moreover, it is convenient to carry and use.

[0067] In some possible implementations, the connector 22 includes, but is not limited to, SCSI (Small Computer System Interface), DB, PS / 2, USB, Type-C, Lightning, Dock, RJ, AV, DIN, VGA (Video Graphics Array), and DVI (Digital Visual Interface) interfaces.

[0068] For example, the connector 22 is a USB interface, a Type-C interface, or a Lightning interface.

[0069] In some possible implementations, the terminal device 100 is a smartphone, and the terminal device 100 has a data interface for functions such as charging and data transmission. In this embodiment, the connector 22 is plugged into the data interface, so that the terminal device 100 can transmit the image data to be printed to the printing device, the printing device prints the image data to be printed, and outputs the photo.

[0070] For example, the shape of the slot structure 21 corresponds to the outer contour of the terminal device 100, and the slot structure 21 can detachably connect the terminal device 100 to the device body 1. The connector 22 arranged in the slot structure 21, after being plugged into the data interface of the terminal device 100, can also improve the connection stability between the terminal device 100 and the device body 1.

[0071] Combination Figure 1As shown, in some possible implementations, the device body 1 is provided with at least one operation button 11, which is located on the surface of the device body 1 and electrically connected to the connector plug 22. The at least one operation button 11 can be used to control the terminal device 100.

[0072] With the above arrangement, at least one operation button 11 on the device body 1 can be used to control the terminal device 100 connected to the printing device, which is simple to operate and highly practical.

[0073] For example, the operation button 11 can be used to control at least one of the functions of the terminal device 100, such as the shutter function and the shooting parameter adjustment.

[0074] Another example is that the operation button 11 can be a button, a lever, a scroll wheel, etc.

[0075] Combination Figure 1 As shown, in some possible implementations, the connecting component 2, the photo output port 17 and at least one operation button 11 are located on different sides of the device body 1, and the side where the at least one operation button 11 is located is connected to the side where the connecting component 2 is located and the side where the photo output port 17 is located.

[0076] Based on the above arrangement, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the position of the operation button 11 corresponds to the position of the side button of the terminal device 100. The relative position of the operation button 11 and the terminal device 100 is the same as the structure of the digital camera in the related technology. When the user holds the device body 1, the index finger can naturally cover the operation button 11, which makes it more convenient to operate the terminal device 100.

[0077] Combination Figure 1 As shown, in some possible implementations, the device body 1 is cuboid in shape; the device body 1 has two first surfaces 10a arranged opposite each other along the second direction B, two second surfaces 10b arranged opposite each other along the third direction C, and two third surfaces 10c arranged opposite each other along the first direction A.

[0078] The length of the first surface 10a is equal to the length of the second surface 10b, the length of the first surface 10a is equal to the length of the third surface 10c, and the width of the third surface 10c is equal to the width of the second surface 10b.

[0079] At least one operation button 11 is located on one of the second surfaces 10b, and the second surface 10b on which at least one operation button 11 is located is connected to the two first surfaces 10a respectively; the connecting component 2 is located on either of the two first surfaces 10a.

[0080] With the above arrangement, the shape of the device body 1 is regular, the appearance is more beautiful, and it is easy to carry. The positions of the operation button 11 and the connecting component 2 are more reasonable, making it more convenient to use.

[0081] For example, the operation button 11 is located on one of the second surfaces 10b, and the connecting component 2 can be arranged on either of the two first surfaces 10a, thereby meeting the usage needs of both left-handed and right-handed users. For example, Figures 1 to 3 The relative positions of the operation button 11 and the connecting component 2 shown are in line with the usage needs of right-handed users.

[0082] Combination Figure 1 As shown, in some possible implementations, the connecting component 2 is close to the first end A01 of the device body 1 along the first direction A, and at least one operation button 11 is close to the second end A02 of the device body 1 along the first direction A.

[0083] With the above arrangement, the connecting component 2 can detachably connect the terminal device 100 to the first end A01 of the device body 1, and the second end A02 of the device body 1 is reserved for holding and facilitates finger contact with the operation button 11.

[0084] In addition, such as Figure 3 As shown, a portion of the terminal device 100 is inserted into the slot structure 21 and attached to the first surface 10a, while another portion of the terminal device 100 protrudes to the outside of the device body 1. In this way, the rear camera of the terminal device 100 will not be obstructed, and the normal use of the rear camera of the terminal device 100 will not be hindered after the terminal device 100 is connected to the printing device.

[0085] In addition, in order to meet functions such as focusing and resolution, the rear camera of the terminal device 100 in the related technology usually protrudes outward along the back of the terminal device 100. The slot structure 21 is arranged at the first end A01 of the device body 1, which can also avoid the positional interference between the protruding rear camera and the device body 1.

[0086] In some possible implementations, the device body 1 is equipped with a printing module located between the photo paper compartment 12 and the photo output port 17. The printing module is used to print images of the photo paper 200 fed from the photo paper compartment 12 to the photo output port 17.

[0087] With the above arrangement, the device body 1 can use the internal printing module to print images on the photographic paper 200.

[0088] Combination Figure 5 As shown, in some possible implementation schemes, the equipment body 1 is also provided with a ribbon compartment 14, and the ribbon compartment 14 is provided with a second movable door 15.

[0089] The printing module includes a dye-sublimation assembly 16 and a ribbon 300. The ribbon 300 is located in the ribbon compartment 14, and the dye-sublimation assembly 16 is located in the device body 1. The position of the dye-sublimation assembly 16 corresponds to the position of the ribbon 300. The dye-sublimation assembly 16 can use heat energy to transfer the pigment of the ribbon 300 onto the photographic paper 200.

[0090] In this embodiment, the device body 1 can use the ribbon compartment 14 on the second surface 10b to accommodate the ribbon 300. The ribbon compartment 14 is covered by the second movable door 15, which facilitates the periodic replacement of the ribbon 300. Moreover, the ribbon 300 and the thermal sublimation assembly 16 work together to enable the printing device to print photos.

[0091] For example, refer to Figure 6 As shown, the printing module is also provided with at least one roller 18 and a guide plate 19. At least one roller 18 and a guide plate 19 are arranged between the photo paper compartment 12 and the photo output port 17. At least one roller 18 is used to transfer the photo paper 200 from the photo paper compartment 12 along the guide plate 19 toward the photo output port 17.

[0092] In some possible implementations, the device body 1 is equipped with an inkless printing component (not shown in the figure). The inkless printing component is located between the photo paper compartment 12 and the photo output port 17. The inkless printing component is used to print images on the photo paper 200 fed from the photo paper compartment 12 to the photo output port 17.

[0093] The printing device of this embodiment uses an inkless printing component within the device body 1 to print images onto photographic paper 200, thus realizing the printing process.

[0094] For example, the photographic paper 200 contains crystals of different colors. The inkless printing component can heat the crystals on the photographic paper 200 at high temperature to make them develop color. By controlling the heating time, temperature and other parameters of each pixel, different pixels can have different colors, thereby printing an accurate color photograph.

[0095] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, in some possible implementations, the slot structure 21 includes a first stop 211, a second stop 212, and a third stop 213.

[0096] The first stop 211, the second stop 212 and the third stop 213 are integrally formed and connected to the surface of the equipment body 1. The first stop 211 and the second stop 212 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart. The third stop 213 is arranged vertically at one end of the first stop 211 and the second stop 212. The other ends of the first stop 211 and the second stop 212 are open to form a plug interface 214. The connecting plug 22 is located on the side of the third stop 213 facing the plug interface 214.

[0097] With the above arrangement, the first stop 211, the second stop 212 and the third stop 213 form a U-shaped slot structure 21, and the terminal device 100 can enter and exit the slot structure 21 from the insertion interface 214.

[0098] Combination Figure 1 As shown, in some possible implementations, the plug-in interface 214 and the photo output port 17 are located at the first end A01 of the device body 1, respectively.

[0099] With the above arrangement, the plug interface 214 and the photo output port 17 are simultaneously arranged at the first end A01 of the device body 1, and the second end A02 of the device body 1 can meet the holding requirements, thereby improving the ease of use of the printing device.

[0100] Combination Figure 7 As shown, in some possible implementations, the opposite sides of the first stop 211 and the second stop 212 are respectively provided with groove structures 2111, which are used to accommodate the side of the terminal device 100.

[0101] With the above arrangement, the groove structure 2111 on the opposite side of the first stop 211 and the second stop 212 can be snapped and attached to the side of the terminal device 100 respectively, and the frame of the opposite sides of the terminal device 100 can be snapped into the groove structure 2111 respectively, thereby limiting and fixing the terminal device 100 in the slot structure 21.
