Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of mechanical technology and relates to a ticket storage box of an automatic ticket dispenser, in particular to a ticket storage box of an automatic ticket dispenser used for lottery ticket sales. Background Art

[0002] The welfare lottery self-service sales system is a new type of intelligent lottery sales system that allows lottery players to purchase lottery tickets through self-service sales terminals and automatically return small bonuses to lottery players. By setting up lottery self-service sales terminals in places with large traffic, the scope of lottery sales can be expanded and the sales ratio can be increased.

[0003] Self-service sales terminals can be displayed in shopping malls, stations, terminals and other busy areas with a large number of people. They have many advantages, such as expanding the lottery sales population, extending the lottery sales time, expanding lottery sales outlets, increasing lottery sales methods, improving the degree of automation of lottery prize redemption, effectively improving fund security, and complementing the traditional manual lottery sales model. In addition, the use of self-service sales terminals to sell lottery tickets can effectively reduce the sales cost of lottery tickets, facilitate lottery purchases, expand the lottery purchase population, and improve the security of winning funds.

[0004] There are many forms of lottery, including traditional, digital, lottery, blessing and instant lottery. The advantages of instant lottery are that it can be redeemed immediately and the prize setting is flexible. According to the printing process and ticket form, there are mainly three types: peel-off, tear-off and scratch-off.

[0005] The face value of tickets is generally divided into forms such as five yuan, ten yuan and twenty yuan. In order to match the different face values ​​of tickets, corresponding ticket issuing mechanisms need to be set up to ensure that lottery tickets of corresponding face values ​​can be accurately output. However, existing self-service lottery machines are prone to not issuing tickets or outputting multiple lottery tickets, which is not conducive to ensuring the fairness of ticket issuance and the use effect is not ideal.

[0006] In summary, in order to solve the deficiencies in the existing ticket issuing mechanism of the lottery self-service sales terminal, the present invention designs a ticket storage box of an automatic ticket issuing machine with a reasonable structure and good use effect.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the embodiments and drawings.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the ticket storage box of the automatic ticket issuing machine includes:

[0027] A base 10 is provided with a receiving groove 11;

[0028] There are multiple ticket boxes, each of which is embedded in the accommodating groove 11 in parallel. Multiple lottery tickets are stacked in the ticket box. Multiple rows of ridges are arranged around the side wall of the ticket box. Each row of ridges is arranged horizontally from top to bottom. When the lottery ticket moves out of the ticket box under the action of external force, the edge of the lottery ticket moves from bottom to top along each ridge, and the excess lottery ticket boxes fall back into the corresponding ticket box.

[0029] There are various forms of lottery tickets, and the face values ​​are generally divided into five yuan, ten yuan, twenty yuan and other forms. In order to match the different face values ​​of tickets, it is necessary to set up corresponding ticket issuing mechanisms to ensure that lottery tickets of corresponding face values ​​can be accurately output. However, existing self-service lottery machines are prone to not issuing tickets or outputting multiple lottery tickets, which is not conducive to ensuring the fairness of ticket issuance and the use effect is not ideal.

[0030] To this end, the present invention provides a ticket storage box for an automatic ticket dispenser, which provides multiple ticket boxes to store lottery tickets of various denominations, and provides ridges in the ticket box to avoid outputting too many lottery tickets in sequence, thereby ensuring accurate lottery ticket output.

[0031] Specifically, a plurality of ticket boxes can be provided in the ticket storage box in the lottery machine as needed to store lottery tickets of various denominations. When a consumer purchases a lottery ticket of a certain denomination, the lottery machine outputs the lottery ticket of the corresponding denomination to the ticket output window.

[0032] In actual operation, the lottery machine uses a robot to suck lottery tickets of corresponding denominations under program control. In this process, multiple lottery tickets are often sucked. When the robot takes multiple lottery tickets out of the corresponding ticket box, the lottery tickets move up along the ridges one by one. Under the resistance of the ridges, the lottery tickets fall back into the ticket box one by one, and only one lottery ticket is transported to the ticket window. When consumers buy multiple lottery tickets, the above process will be repeated several times until the ticket is issued.

[0033] Preferably, the ticket box includes a first ticket box 21, a second ticket box 22 and a third ticket box 23, each ticket box is arranged in an arbitrary arrangement, and the ridges on the ticket box are divided into two groups, namely the main ridges 31 and the side ridges 32. The ridges on the same column are closely connected and the surface of each ridge is arranged in an arc shape.

[0034] The ticket boxes are arranged corresponding to each denomination, and each denomination of lottery ticket corresponds to at least one ticket box. The specific number of ticket boxes can be determined according to the actual structural dimensions inside the lottery machine. The ticket boxes are arranged side by side in the accommodating slot 11, and the positional relationship between the three ticket boxes can be arranged at will, without the need to arrange the first ticket box 21, the second ticket box 22, and the third ticket box 23 in sequence in one direction.

[0035] In this embodiment, two sets of ridges are preferably provided in each ticket box, wherein the surface of the ridges is arranged in an arc shape, and the surface of each row of ridges is roughly wavy, to ensure that the lottery ticket can fall back quickly when moving along the ridges, while avoiding the situation where the first lottery ticket sucked in falls due to too much resistance, thereby ensuring smooth lottery ticket dispensing.

[0036] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, further, two "U"-shaped grooves 211 are symmetrically opened at both ends of the first ticket box 21, and a row of main ridges 31 are arranged on one side of each "U"-shaped groove 211, two rows of side ridges 32 are arranged in parallel on one side wall, and a partition plate 212 is fixed between the two rows of side ridges 32, and a groove 213 is opened through the partition plate 212.

[0037] Preferably, U-shaped grooves 211 are provided at both ends of the first ticket box 21, the main ridge 31 is provided on one side of the U-shaped groove 211, and two rows of side ridges 32 are symmetrically provided on the side wall of the first ticket box 21, where the lengths of the main ridge 31 and the side ridge 32 are the same or close.

[0038] A partition 212 is provided in the middle of the first ticket box 21, and two rows of side ridges 32 are respectively located on both sides of the partition 212. The partition 212 divides the first ticket box 21 into two stacking areas, which can be used to place lottery tickets of relatively small denominations such as five yuan.

[0039] The sales volume of lottery tickets with smaller face values ​​is relatively high. Two stacks of low-face value lottery tickets can be placed in the first ticket box 21 to meet the needs of consumers. Each stack of lottery tickets corresponds to a main ridge 31 and a side ridge 32 to ensure that only one lottery ticket is output.

[0040] Here, it is preferred that a groove 213 is provided on the partition 212 to facilitate the connection between the two stacking areas. When the robot absorbs the lottery ticket, it is helpful to maintain a stable air pressure inside and outside the first ticket box 21, so that the robot can smoothly take out the lottery ticket.

[0041] The size of a five-yuan ticket is relatively small, so two stacking areas are set in the first ticket box 21. In actual use, two independent ticket boxes can be set up for combined use. When the size of the lottery ticket changes, the ticket box will also change its structure accordingly to better store the lottery ticket.

[0042] Preferably, two square grooves 221 are symmetrically formed at both ends of the second ticket box 22 , a row of main ridges 31 are arranged on one side of each square groove 221 , a row of side ridges 32 are arranged on one of the side walls, and the side ridges 32 are arranged close to one of the main ridges 31 .

[0043] The opening of the square groove 221 is much larger than the above-mentioned "U"-shaped groove 211. The main ridge 31 on one side of the square groove 221 abuts against one of the side walls of the second ticket box 22. At the same time, the side ridge 32 is also arranged on the side wall, and the side ridge 32 is arranged close to one of the main ridges 31. The length of the side ridge 32 in the second ticket box 22 is greater than the length of the main ridge 31.

[0044] Furthermore, an opening slot 231 is provided at one end of the third ticket box 23 , and a row of main ridges 31 are arranged at the other end, a row of side ridges 32 are arranged on one side wall, and the side ridges 32 are located at the end of the corresponding side wall close to the main ridges 31 .

[0045] Preferably, the third ticket box 23 has an opening slot 231 only at one end, and the opening slot 231 is close in size to the above-mentioned square slot 221. A main ridge 31 is arranged at the other end of the third ticket box 23, and a side ridge 32 is arranged on one of the side walls. The side ridge 32 is arranged very close to the main ridge 31 and the lengths of the main ridge 31 and the side ridge 32 are close.

[0046] The arrangement of the square slot 221 and the open slot 231 is also conducive to maintaining a stable air pressure inside and outside the corresponding ticket box when the robot is working, thereby ensuring smooth ticket dispensing.

[0047] In this embodiment, it is preferred that lottery tickets with a face value of 10 yuan are stacked in the second ticket box 22, and lottery tickets with a face value of 20 yuan are stacked in the third ticket box 23. In actual use, the size of lottery tickets with different face values ​​can be selected, which is not limited here.

[0048] It is worth mentioning that in addition to the three denominations of lottery tickets mentioned above, there are sometimes denominations of two yuan and thirty yuan. In actual use, the denominations of lottery tickets in the lottery machine may not be complete, and lottery tickets of different denominations can be placed in the ticket box as needed. There may be a situation where lottery tickets of a certain denomination are not available; of course, the structure of the ticket storage box can be changed so that lottery tickets of various denominations are in reserve and can be sold. The specific number of ticket boxes is not limited here.

[0049] Preferably, each ticket box has two symmetrical inner ventilation holes 24 at the bottom, two inner sensing holes 25 between the two ventilation holes, and two outer ventilation holes 12 corresponding to the two inner ventilation holes 24 and two outer sensing holes 13 corresponding to the two inner sensing holes 25 at the bottom of the accommodating groove 11.

[0050] The lottery machine is equipped with infrared sensors corresponding to each ticket box. Through their respective sensing holes, they sense whether there are still lottery tickets stored in the ticket box. When the lottery tickets are sold out, they can provide instant feedback to notify the operator to replenish the lottery tickets in time.

[0051] Each ventilation hole cooperates with the corresponding "U"-shaped groove 211, square groove 221 and open groove 231, which is further conducive to maintaining a stable air pressure in the ticket box.

[0052] Furthermore, a handle 14 is fixedly provided on one side of the base 10, and a plurality of evenly distributed mounting holes 15 are provided on the other side. The mounting holes 15 are actually used to install strong magnets to ensure that the ticket storage box as a whole is stably installed in the lottery machine. In this embodiment, the number of mounting holes 15 is preferably three, and ticket storage boxes of different sizes can be provided with the number of strong magnets as needed. The setting of the handle 14 makes it easy for operators to take and put the ticket storage box, which is convenient to use.

[0053] The ticket storage box structure of the automatic ticket dispenser is reasonably arranged. Multiple ticket boxes are arranged to store lottery tickets of various denominations. At the same time, convex edges are arranged in the ticket box to avoid outputting too many lottery tickets in sequence, thereby ensuring accurate lottery ticket issuance. In addition, the arrangement of the sensing hole 13 facilitates the sensor in the lottery terminal to sense whether there are lottery tickets in the ticket box, thereby replenishing the lottery tickets in time and ensuring that the lottery terminal remains in operation.

[0054] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described herein, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any modification or supplement or replacement of the specific embodiments described by those skilled in the art shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
