Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lottery tickets, and in particular to a paper lottery ticket storage device, a lottery ticket storage method, and a lottery ticket purchase method. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the regulation that lottery tickets must be purchased at lottery sales outlets is very inconvenient for people who cannot purchase lottery tickets in person at offline physical sites due to distance, time, work, etc., and the user experience is poor. For example:

[0003] 1. It is inconvenient for the purchaser to go out.

[0004] 2. Most physical lottery sales outlets are located in busy urban areas, making it inconvenient to park.

[0005] 3. The lottery numbers that come to mind suddenly must be purchased at the physical lottery sales outlet before the sales deadline to avoid missing the current draw.

[0006] 4. It is difficult for users traveling in a strange city on business to find the location of the physical lottery sales outlet.

[0007] 5. It is impossible to jointly purchase lottery tickets.

[0008] Therefore, a lottery ticket purchase method by a third party for agency can be generated, which can not only solve the inconvenience of actual purchasers, but also meet the official requirement of purchasing at a network point and synchronously picking up. The lottery tickets are purchased and taken out offline by a third party on behalf of the lottery orderer at the offline lottery sales outlet. However, due to reasons such as distance or inconvenience of the lottery orderer, there is a situation where the third party cannot deliver the purchased lottery tickets to the lottery orderer in time. At this time, a paper lottery ticket storage device is needed to store the lottery tickets purchased from the lottery sales outlet for the subsequent lottery orderer to pick up their ordered lottery tickets.

[0009] In the prior art, there is no device dedicated to storing lottery tickets after being purchased by a third party for agency. Therefore, the prior art needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0010] In view of the above deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a paper lottery ticket storage device, which is intended for storing paper physical lottery tickets after lottery ticket agency purchase.

[0011] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention takes the following technical solutions:

[0019] Identify the physically deposited lottery ticket and obtain the information of the physical lottery ticket.

[0020] Compare the information of the physical lottery ticket with the order information. If they match, store the physically deposited lottery ticket.

[0021] If they do not match, withdraw the physically deposited lottery ticket.

[0022] In a third aspect, the present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium, in which a computer program is stored. When the computer program is executed, the above-mentioned lottery ticket storage method is implemented.

[0023] In a fourth aspect, the present invention also provides a lottery purchase system, including the above-mentioned physical lottery ticket storage device, a server communicatively connected to the physical lottery ticket storage device, and a lottery purchase client communicatively connected to the server.

[0024] In a fifth aspect, the present invention also provides a lottery purchase method, which is applied to the above-mentioned lottery purchase system. The lottery purchase method includes the following steps:

[0025] The lottery purchase client receives the lottery purchase request of the lottery purchaser and generates order information.

[0026] The lottery purchase client sends the order information to the server. After receiving the order information, the server sends it to the physical lottery ticket storage device.

[0027] The physical lottery ticket storage device receives the order information and stores it.

[0028] The described paper lottery storage device identifies and obtains the physical lottery information manually purchased by the proxy purchaser and deposited into the paper lottery storage device, compares the physical lottery information with the stored order information, and if they match, stores the physical lottery in the paper lottery storage device;

[0029] If they do not match, the physically deposited lottery is removed from the paper lottery storage device.

[0030] It should be understood that within the scope of the present invention, the above-mentioned technical features of the present invention and the technical features specifically described hereinafter (such as in the embodiments) can be combined with each other to form new or preferred technical solutions.

Detailed implementation manners

[0053] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 1, the present invention provides a paper lottery storage device 100, which includes a ticket feeding part 2, a moving part 3, an information collection part 4, a ticket storage part 5 and a circuit part 6. In the implementation of the present invention, the paper lottery storage device 100 further includes a shelf 1, and the ticket feeding part 2, the moving part 3, the information collection part 4, the ticket storage part 5 and the circuit part 6 are all arranged on the shelf 1. The shelf 1 can be fixed or movable. Adding rollers at the bottom of the shelf 1 enables it to move. A movable grasping mechanism 7 is arranged on the moving part 3, and the circuit part 6 is electrically connected to the moving part 3, the grasping mechanism 7 and the information collection part 4. The circuit part 6 controls the movement of the grasping mechanism 7 on the moving part 3, controls the grasping and releasing actions of the grasping mechanism 7, and simultaneously processes the information collected by the information collection part 4. The paper lottery storage device 100 of the present invention further includes a housing (not shown) covering the outside of the shelf 1. The circuit part 6 can be composed of a control circuit formed by a single-chip microcomputer or a PLC, etc.

[0055] The ticket feeding part 2 of the present invention is provided with a ticket feeding port 21 for depositing paper physical lottery tickets. The ticket feeding port 21 is used for manually depositing paper physical lottery tickets, and one ticket can be deposited at a time, or multiple lottery tickets can be deposited at a time. The paper physical lottery tickets are manually purchased and synchronously taken away by a third party (a lottery purchasing operation company or a purchasing agent) at an offline lottery sales outlet or an offline lottery vending machine according to the order information of the lottery purchaser, and then manually deposited from the ticket feeding port 21 of the present device 100. The order information of the lottery purchaser includes information such as the selected or randomly generated lottery numbers, the betting multiples, the order generation time, the purchaser's identity identification information, the purchaser's contact information, and the cost of ordering lottery tickets.

[0056] The circuit part 6 of the present invention controls the grasping mechanism 7 to grasp the physical lottery tickets deposited in the ticket feeding part 2 one by one. The purpose of grasping one by one is to facilitate subsequent scanning or photographing of the lottery ticket to collect the information of the lottery ticket. The single-ticket grasping function of the grasping mechanism 7 realizes the ticket splitting function. For example, if a third-party purchasing agent manually deposits multiple lottery tickets at one time or multiple times, in order to perform subsequent information collection, it is necessary to split the multiple lottery tickets into single lottery tickets for collection. The grasping mechanism 7 of the present invention grasps one physical lottery ticket at a time, and performs collection, identification, comparison on the lottery ticket and then stores or refunds the ticket. After this process is completed, the next deposited lottery ticket is grasped, collected, identified, etc. for subsequent processes.

[0057] The information collection part 4 of the present invention scans or photographs the physical lottery tickets grasped by the grasping mechanism 7 to collect information.

[0058] The collection part 4 of the present invention can be a camera or a scanner. The camera collects the image information of the single lottery ticket grasped on the grasping mechanism 7, and the scanner collects the barcode information of the single lottery ticket grasped on the grasping mechanism 7.

[0059] The circuit unit 6 of the present invention performs identification and comparison based on the collected physical lottery information. The identification of the physical lottery information includes identifying the unique lottery identifier of the lottery ticket from the collected image information or barcode information (such as the lottery number, or the barcode or QR code corresponding to the digital number); the purchase time of the lottery, the purchase outlet, the time when the physical lottery is produced; the information of the ticket-making device used for printing the lottery, etc.

[0060] Meanwhile, the circuit unit 6 pre-obtains the order information of the lottery purchaser. The order information of the lottery purchaser is obtained by the circuit unit 6 connecting to the server through a wired or wireless network and acquiring the order information of the lottery purchaser from the server, and the circuit unit 6 obtains the order information of multiple different lottery purchasers. The circuit unit 6 compares and matches the manually deposited physical lottery information with the order information of multiple lottery purchasers. For example, after the digital number on the physical lottery is identified as A, the digital number of the lottery is extracted from multiple order information and it is checked whether there is the digital number A. If there is, it is a match; if not, it is not a match, thus obtaining the comparison result.

[0061] The circuit unit 6 controls the grasping mechanism 7 to put the single physical lottery after identification and comparison into the ticket storage unit 5 or exit the paper lottery storage device 100. When the deposited physical lottery information matches the order information, that is, when the lottery manually deposited by the third-party purchasing agent is the lottery ordered by the lottery purchaser, then the physical lottery ticket is finally stored in the ticket storage unit 5 of the paper lottery storage device 100 of the present invention for subsequent lottery purchasers to pick up tickets or subsequent prize redemption processes. When the deposited physical lottery information does not match the order information, that is, when the lottery manually deposited by the third-party purchasing agent is not the lottery ordered by the lottery purchaser, then the physical lottery ticket is exited from the paper lottery storage device 100 of the present invention. That is, when there is no match, the lottery ticket cannot be stored and needs to be refunded. The refund can be achieved by the grasping mechanism 7 returning the lottery ticket to the ticket feeding unit 2, and then exiting from the ticket inlet 21 of the ticket feeding unit 2, or a dedicated refund outlet is provided on the paper lottery storage device 100 of the present invention, and the grasping mechanism 7 sends the lottery ticket to the refund outlet to exit.

[0062] The circuit unit 6 of the present invention identifies and compares the manually deposited physical lottery tickets, which can prevent other people from depositing lottery tickets that do not correspond to the order information into the paper lottery storage device 100 of the present invention and avoid causing errors.

[0063] The paper lottery storage device 100 of the present invention performs processes such as grasping, collecting, identifying and comparing, storing or withdrawing physical lottery tickets deposited by a third party manually. Moreover, it has no network or mechanical connection with the existing lottery sales outlets and the equipment of the lottery sales outlets, and is physically separated from the equipment of the existing lottery sales outlets. Therefore, there is no need to transform the existing lottery sales outlets and the equipment of the lottery sales outlets, and it is suitable for specially storing the lottery tickets after proxy purchase and is applicable to the operation mode of third-party proxy purchase of lottery tickets.

[0064] Preferably, the grasping mechanism 7 of the present invention is a negative pressure adsorption mechanism. The negative pressure adsorption mechanism adsorbs the deposited physical lottery tickets through negative pressure to achieve grasping, which can simplify the grasping mechanism 7. Due to the particularity that most physical lottery tickets are made of thermal paper, the friction between two or more stacks of lottery tickets is small. In addition, the special thermal paper for lottery tickets is in a roll form, and the lottery tickets are severely curled naturally in the later stage of use. These problems lead to the situation that when separating two or more stacks of lottery tickets with a general mechanical structure, it is easy to have the situation that two closely attached lottery tickets cannot be separated or are not completely separated. However, in this application, a negative pressure adsorption mechanism is adopted, and grasping and ticket separation are integrated into one, with a simple structure, improving the separation effect of the lottery tickets, and the separation effect is better than that of a mechanical rotating ticket separator.

[0065] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, the negative pressure adsorption mechanism includes a suction cup 71 and a blower 72. The suction cup 71 is provided with air suction holes, and the suction cup 71 is installed at the air suction port 721 of the blower 72. The air suction holes of the suction cup 71 are communicated with the air suction port 721 of the blower 72, and the blower 72 is installed on the moving part 3. The upper end of the blower 72 is the exhaust port 722, and the lower end is the air suction port 721. The suction cup 71 is installed at the position of the air suction port 721. The blower 72 is installed on the moving part 3 through a connecting seat 73 and moves on the rack 1 under the action of the moving part 3. The blower 72 is also electrically connected to the circuit part 6. When the blower 72 works, air enters the air suction port 721 of the blower 72 from the air suction holes on the suction cup 71 and then is discharged from the exhaust port 722 of the blower 72. After the bottom of the suction cup 71 contacts the physical lottery ticket, the suction effect of the blower 72 generates negative pressure to firmly suck the physical lottery ticket, realizing the grasping and separation of the lottery ticket, and then moving with the moving part 3 on the rack 1 to transport the physical lottery ticket. The magnitude of the adsorption force generated by the blower 72 is selected according to experiments so that it can just adsorb a single lottery ticket and will not adsorb two or more lottery tickets.

[0066] Preferably, a filter screen is further provided at the position of the air suction holes of the suction cup 71 for filtering dust to prevent dust from being sucked into the blower 72 through the suction cup 71 and affecting the service life of the blower 72. The suction cup 71 is also provided with a filter screen replacement port for facilitating the replacement of the filter screen.

[0067] Preferably, the suction cup 71 of the present invention is rectangular in shape, and the width and length dimensions of the rectangle are slightly smaller than the width and length dimensions of the paper-based physical lottery ticket. After the suction cup 71 adsorbs and grabs the physical lottery ticket, the peripheral part of the lottery ticket slightly exceeds the edge of the suction cup 71, which facilitates the subsequent stacking and pressing when the lottery ticket is placed in the ticket storage part 5. It can be understood that the suction cup 71 can also adopt other shapes, such as circular.

[0068] As Figure 3 shown, the moving part 3 of the present invention includes an X-direction moving mechanism 31 and a Y-direction moving mechanism 32 arranged on the X-direction moving mechanism 31. The grasping mechanism 7 is installed on the Y-direction moving mechanism 32. The X-direction moving mechanism 31 of this embodiment is arranged on the rack 1. The X-direction moving mechanism 31 drives the entire Y-direction moving mechanism 32 in the X direction, thereby driving the grasping mechanism 7 to move in the X direction, such as Figure 3 the left and right directions in Figure 3 . The Y-direction moving mechanism 32 drives the grasping mechanism 7 to move in the Y direction, such as

[0069] the up and down directions in

[0070] . Specifically, the X-direction moving mechanism 31 of the present invention includes an X-direction guide rail 311, an X-direction slider 312, an X-direction motor 313, and an X-direction transmission belt 314. The X-direction guide rail 311 is fixed on the rack 1. The X-direction slider 312 is slidably installed on the X-direction guide rail 311. Two X-direction motors 313 are respectively installed at the left and right ends of the X-direction guide rail 311. The X-direction transmission belt 314 is wound around the two X-direction motors 313, and the X-direction slider 312 is fixedly connected to the X-direction transmission belt 314. In this way, when the two X-direction motors 313 rotate synchronously, the X-direction transmission belt 314 rotates to drive the X-direction slider 312 to slide left and right on the X-direction guide rail 311.

[0071] On the X-direction guide rail 311 and Y-direction guide rail 321 of the present invention, a plurality of position detection sensors are provided for positioning the moving position of the grasping mechanism 7. For example, after the grasping mechanism 7 moves to the ticket feeding part 2 position, the position detection sensors can detect the grasping mechanism 7 to perform the next action, such as stopping the X-direction movement and performing the Y-direction downward movement to prepare for the next adsorption action.

[0072] Such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the ticket feeding part 2 of the present invention further includes a ticket feeding channel 22 connected to the ticket feeding port 21, two ticket feeding roller wheels 23 arranged in parallel and rotating synchronously in the ticket feeding channel 22, and an elastic member 24 connected to the ticket feeding roller wheels 23 for adjusting the pressing tightness of the two ticket feeding roller wheels 23 on the ticket.

[0073] The ticket feeding port 21 is used for manually depositing paper entity lottery tickets, and the lottery tickets can be placed face up or face down. In the embodiment of the present invention, the paper entity lottery tickets manually deposited into the ticket feeding port 21 are purchased manually by a third-party purchasing personnel according to the order information of the lottery purchaser at an offline lottery sales outlet or an offline lottery vending machine and taken away synchronously from the purchase point. The ticket feeding port 21 in the embodiment of the present invention is designed with a flared upper part and a flat lower part, and a semi-circular concave notch is provided in the middle of the lower part, which is convenient for placing a stack of curled lottery tickets. At the same time, the geometric dimensions of the width and height of the ticket feeding port 21 and the ticket feeding channel 22 are limited by the width and thickness of the lottery ticket, and the length of the ticket feeding channel 22 is designed to be limited by the length of the lottery ticket.

[0074] The ticket feeding roller wheels 23 of the present invention are two ticket feeding roller wheels 23 arranged horizontally and in parallel in the ticket feeding channel 22 and in contact with each other. The contact part of the two mutually contacting ticket feeding roller wheels 23 is located in the ticket feeding channel 22. At the same time, due to the action of the elastic member 24, the lottery tickets fed into the ticket feeding channel 22 from the ticket feeding port 21 will push open the two mutually contacting ticket feeding roller wheels 23 and insert between the two ticket feeding roller wheels 23, and the upper and lower surfaces of the inserted lottery tickets are respectively pressed and held by the two ticket feeding roller wheels 23.

[0075] The two ticket-moving rollers 23 of the present invention are respectively mounted on two rotating shafts 251, which are respectively rotatably mounted on the first connecting frame 27 and the second connecting frame 28. The two rotating shafts 251 are also respectively connected to the two ticket-moving motors 25 in transmission connection. The elastic member 24 includes a spring 241 and an adjusting rod 242. The lower end of the adjusting rod 242 is connected to the first connecting frame 27, the upper end of the adjusting rod 242 is connected to the second connecting frame 28, the upper end of the adjusting rod 242 is spirally connected to the second connecting frame 28, the first connecting frame 27 is nested in the second connecting frame 28, and the spring 241 is sleeved outside the adjusting rod 242 and abuts between the first connecting frame 27 and the second connecting frame 28. The adjusting rod 242 is rotated to make the first connecting frame 27 move up and down relative to the second connecting frame 28, thereby driving the ticket-moving roller 23 connected to the first connecting frame 27 to move up and down to achieve the adjustment of the degree of clamping of the lottery ticket by the ticket-moving roller 23.

[0076] The ticket feeding part 2 of the present invention is electrically connected to the circuit part 6. Specifically, the two ticket moving motors 25 of the present invention are electrically connected to the circuit part 6, and under the control of the circuit part 6, the two ticket moving motors 25 rotate synchronously in the opposite direction, thereby driving the two rotating shafts 251 to rotate synchronously in the opposite direction, and then making the two ticket moving rollers 23 rotate synchronously in the opposite direction to realize the lottery ticket feeding action.

[0077] Preferably, the second connecting frame 28 of the present invention is further provided with a ticket entry detection sensor 26, which is electrically connected to the circuit unit 6. The ticket entry detection sensor 26 faces the ticket entry port 21 and the ticket entry cavity 22. When a lottery ticket is inserted from the ticket entry port 21 into the ticket entry cavity 22, the lottery ticket is detected by the ticket entry detection sensor 26, and then the circuit unit 6 controls the ticket entry motor 25 to rotate so that the two ticket moving rollers 23 rotate to complete the ticket entry.

[0078] Preferably, both ticket-moving rollers 23 are sleeved with fixed ticket-moving rubber sleeves, which can increase the frictional force in contact with the lottery ticket. And because both ticket-moving rollers 23 are provided with ticket-moving rubber sleeves, it is ensured that the ticket-moving rollers 23 can transmit synchronous driving force to the upper and lower parts of a single lottery ticket or a stack of lottery tickets with a certain thickness during the rotation process, ensuring stable transmission of the lottery ticket and also ensuring synchronization of the transmission speed of the lottery ticket on the upper and lower surfaces in the ticket-feeding cavity 22, thereby eliminating the phenomenon that the lottery ticket in the middle position is easily staggered due to uneven friction between the stack of lottery tickets, thereby significantly improving the lottery ticket feeding effect.

[0079] like Figure 6As shown in the figure, the device 100 of the present invention further includes a ticket sorting cavity 8 provided on the side of the ticket inlet cavity 22 away from the ticket inlet 21. The ticket sorting cavity 8 is provided with a ticket sorting detection sensor 81, and the ticket sorting detection sensor 81 is electrically connected to the circuit unit 6. On the one hand, the ticket sorting cavity 8 temporarily stores the physical lottery tickets deposited from the ticket inlet unit 2, and on the other hand, the grabbing mechanism 7 grabs single lottery tickets from the stack of lottery tickets in the ticket sorting cavity 8 to achieve ticket sorting. When the lottery tickets deposited from the ticket inlet unit 2 enter the ticket sorting cavity 8 through the ticket inlet cavity 22, the ticket sorting detection sensor 81 at the bottom of the ticket sorting cavity 8 detects the lottery ticket signal, and the circuit unit 6 then drives the grabbing mechanism 7 on the moving mechanism 3 to move to the position of the ticket sorting cavity 8 according to this signal, as Figure 1 shown in, and starts the blower 72 in the grabbing mechanism 7 to adsorb and grab the lottery tickets in the ticket sorting cavity 8 one by one.

[0080] As Figure 1 , Figure 6 shown in the figure, the device 100 of the present invention further includes a ticket refund cavity 9 and a ticket refund opening 10 located at one end of the ticket refund cavity 9. A trough-shaped ticket passage 11 is connected between the ticket sorting cavity 8 and the ticket refund cavity 9, and both the upper and lower surfaces of the trough-shaped ticket passage 11 are open.

[0081] The ticket refund cavity 9 is used to eject the unmatched lottery tickets from the ticket refund cavity 9 after lottery ticket identification and comparison. The grabbing mechanism 7 transports the lottery tickets that need to be refunded to the ticket refund cavity 9 and then ejects them from the ticket refund opening 10. Preferably, a ticket refund sensor 16 is further provided above the ticket refund cavity 9, and the ticket refund sensor 16 detects whether the ticket refund is completed.

[0082] The trough-shaped ticket passage 11 is connected between the ticket sorting cavity 8 and the ticket refund cavity 9. In the embodiment of the present invention, the trough-shaped ticket passage 11 is linear, which is convenient for the transportation of lottery tickets. In this embodiment, the connection position of the trough-shaped ticket passage 11 and the ticket sorting cavity 8 is higher than the bottom of the ticket sorting cavity 8. In this way, when the grabbing mechanism 7 adsorbs and grabs the lottery tickets at the bottom of the ticket sorting cavity 8 and then moves upward and then puts the lottery tickets into the trough-shaped ticket passage 11, such a height difference setting is convenient for the completion of the ticket sorting action.

[0083] After the grabbing mechanism 7 adsorbs and grabs the lottery tickets in the ticket sorting cavity 8 and moves upward to align the edges of the lottery tickets with the trough-shaped ticket passage 11, the grabbing mechanism 7 moves in the X direction, so that the edges of the lottery tickets on the grabbing mechanism 7 move in the trough-shaped ticket passage 11. Since in the embodiment of the present invention, after the suction cup 71 adsorbs the lottery ticket, the edge of the lottery ticket exceeds the edge of the suction cup 71, the setting of the trough-shaped ticket passage 11 can prevent the edge of the lottery ticket from warping during the process of being adsorbed and transported by the suction cup 71. At the same time, both the upper and lower surfaces of the trough-shaped ticket passage 11 of the present invention are open, so that the suction cup 71 can extend into the middle of the trough-shaped ticket passage 11 for movement.

[0084] As Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the slot-shaped ticket passage 11 of the present invention is provided with a lottery information collection position 111 at one end adjacent to the ticket dispensing cavity 8, and a transparent plate 12 is provided on the lower surface of the slot-shaped ticket passage 11 at the lottery information collection position 111, and the information collection unit 4 is below the transparent plate 12 and faces the transparent plate 12. In order to collect lottery information by the information collection unit 4, the lottery ticket is deposited into the ticket inlet 21 with the ticket information facing downward in this embodiment. Specifically, the present invention is provided with a positioning sensor near the lottery information collection position 111, and when the suction cup 71 of the grabbing mechanism 7 moves to the top of the lottery information collection position 111, the positioning sensor can detect the suction cup 71, and then the circuit unit 6 controls the moving unit 3 to stop moving, so that the grabbing mechanism 7 stays above the lottery information collection position 111, and the lottery ticket on it stays at the lottery information collection position 111 of the slot-shaped ticket passage 11, and then the information collection unit 4 below the lottery information collection position 111 starts to shoot or scan the lottery ticket to collect the information of the lottery ticket. The transparent plate 12 can support the lottery ticket so that the lower surface of the lottery ticket is flat. On the other hand, it is light-transmissive so that the information collection unit 4 can collect information about the lottery ticket through the transparent plate 12 .

[0085] like Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the ticket storage unit 5 of the present invention includes a ticket storage box 51 and a ticket pressing mechanism 52 arranged adjacent to the ticket storage box 51. The ticket storage box 51 is used to store lottery tickets that have been matched after ticket comparison. In this embodiment, the ticket storage box 51 is located below the slot-shaped ticket passage 11. The ticket storage box 51 of this embodiment is provided with two storage chambers, each of which is equipped with a ticket pressing mechanism 52. Figure 6 In the embodiment, a ticket pressing mechanism 52 is provided on the left and right sides of the ticket storage box 51 respectively.

[0086] The ticket pressing mechanism 52 is used to press the edge of the lottery ticket on the suction cup 71 when the suction cup 71 moves to the bottom of the storage cavity of the ticket storage box 51, and then the fan 72 stops, the suction cup 71 moves upward, and the lottery ticket is pressed by the ticket pressing mechanism 52 and separated from the suction cup 71, so that the lottery ticket remains in the storage cavity of the ticket storage box 51, completing the storage of the lottery ticket. At the same time, due to the setting of the ticket pressing mechanism 52, the edge of the lottery ticket in the ticket storage box 51 is prevented from tilting, so that the lottery tickets are stacked neatly one by one. In this embodiment, a sensor is set in the storage cavity of the ticket storage box 51 to detect whether the suction cup 71 has placed the lottery ticket in place. After it is placed in place, the fan stops working so that the suction cup 71 no longer has an adsorption force on the lottery ticket.

[0087] like Figure 8 As shown, the side wall of the ticket box 51 of the present invention is provided with a slot 511, so that when the grabbing mechanism 7 is driven by the moving part 3 to extend into the ticket box 51, the connecting seat 73 of the grabbing mechanism 7 can enter the ticket box 51 from the slot 511 to avoid interference and collision.

[0088] Preferably, as Figure 6 shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, a push-pull slide rail 53 is further provided on the rack 1 below the ticket storage box 51, and the ticket storage box 51 is slidably arranged on the push-pull slide rail 53, so that the ticket storage box 51 can be pushed and pulled like a drawer, which is convenient for subsequent ticket taking, ticket clearing and other operations.

[0089] Specifically, as Figure 9 shown, the ticket pressing mechanism 52 of the embodiment of the present invention includes a lifting mechanism 521, a U-shaped fork 522 that can move up and down on the lifting mechanism 521. A notch 511 is formed on the side surface of the ticket storage box 51, and the U-shaped fork 522 can extend into the ticket storage box 51 from the notch 511 and surround the edge of the grasping mechanism 7 extending into the ticket storage box 51.

[0090] The lifting mechanism 521 includes a lifting guide rail 5211, a lifting motor 5212, a lifting slider 5213, and a lifting conveyor belt 5124. The lifting guide rail 5211 is installed on the rack 1 through a support 523. The lifting motor 5212 is installed at the top of the lifting guide rail 5211. The lifting slider 5213 is fixed on the lifting conveyor belt 5124. The upper end of the lifting conveyor belt 5124 is wound around the lifting motor 5212, and the lower end is wound around another rotating shaft. The U-shaped fork 522 is installed on the lifting slider 5213. The lifting slider 5213 moves up and down on the lifting guide rail 5211 to drive the U-shaped fork 522 to move up and down, so that the U-shaped fork 522 can complete the ticket pressing action in the ticket storage box 51.

[0091] The U-shaped fork 522 includes a cross bar 5221, a first longitudinal bar 5222 and a second longitudinal bar 5223 that are perpendicularly connected to the cross bar 5221. In the initial state, when the lottery tickets have not been deposited in the ticket storage box 51, as Figure 10 shown, the U-shaped fork 522 is located at the top of the ticket storage box 51. When it is necessary to store lottery tickets after the comparison is completed, the cross bar 5221 of the U-shaped fork 522 moves downward, and the first longitudinal bar 5222 and the second longitudinal bar 5223 follow the cross bar 5221 to move downward. During the process of moving downward with the cross bar 5221, the first longitudinal bar 5222 and the second longitudinal bar 5223 enter the ticket storage box 51 from the notch 511 on the side wall of the ticket storage box 51, as Figure 11As shown in the figure. Then the first longitudinal rod 5222 and the second longitudinal rod 5223 move to the bottom inside the ticket storage box 51 and are detected by the positioning sensor. Then, the circuit unit 6 controls the grasping mechanism 7 holding the lottery ticket to move downward from the top of the ticket storage box 51 into the ticket storage box 51 until the bottom of the ticket storage box 51. At this time, the edge of the lottery ticket on the suction cup 71 will cover the first longitudinal rod 5222 and the second longitudinal rod 5223. Then the U-shaped fork 522 moves upward. Since the lottery ticket is made of paper and can be bent, when the first longitudinal rod 5222 and the second longitudinal rod 5223 move upward, they can lift the edge of the lottery ticket upward and finally make the first longitudinal rod 5222 and the second longitudinal rod 5223 cross over the lottery ticket and be located above the lottery ticket. Then the U-shaped fork 522 moves downward, presses the edge of the upper surface of the lottery ticket, and is detected by the positioning sensor again. Then the blower 72 of the grasping mechanism 7 stops, and the grasping mechanism 7 moves upward and out of the ticket storage box 51. When there are still lottery tickets in the ticket sorting cavity 8, the grasping mechanism 7 will go to the ticket sorting cavity 8 to grasp the lottery ticket again, and then collect, identify, and compare the lottery ticket. When it matches, it will be deposited into the ticket storage box 51 again. When subsequent lottery tickets are deposited into the ticket storage box 51, the U-shaped fork 522 will first press on the lottery ticket deposited in the ticket storage box 51 before and remain stationary until the next lottery ticket is placed on the previous lottery ticket by the suction cup 72. Then the U-shaped fork 522 repeats the actions of moving upward and then downward to tightly press the later deposited lottery ticket on the previous lottery ticket, completing the stacking placement of the lottery tickets. During the subsequent lottery ticket collection process, the management staff takes out the lottery tickets from the ticket storage box 51 and gives them to the lottery ticket subscribers.

[0092] In the embodiment of the present invention, the state where the U-shaped fork 522 surrounds the edge of the grasping mechanism 7 is as Figure 12 shown, and this is Figure 6 in which the U-shaped fork 522 on the left pressing ticket mechanism 52 in

[0093] surrounds the edge of the grasping mechanism 7. Specifically, the first longitudinal rod 5222 and the second longitudinal rod 5223 of the U-shaped fork 522 surround the edge of the suction cup 71 to press the edge of the lottery ticket on the suction cup 71 (the adsorbed lottery ticket is not shown in the figure).

[0106] The information acquisition unit 4 of the paper lottery storage device 100 takes pictures or scans the physical lottery tickets manually deposited into the paper lottery storage device 100 to obtain the image information or barcode information of the lottery tickets, and the circuit unit 6 identifies based on the image information or barcode information collected by the information acquisition unit 4 to obtain lottery ticket information, such as extracting information such as the digital number of the lottery ticket from the image.

[0107] Before collecting and identifying the deposited lottery tickets, the storage method of the present invention further includes grasping and separating the physical lottery tickets manually deposited into the paper lottery storage device 100 to obtain single lottery tickets, which is convenient for subsequent information collection and identification.

[0108] The steps S101 and S102 in the method of the present invention can be interchanged in order.

[0109] S103, compare the physical lottery ticket information with the order information.

[0110] The circuit unit 6 of the paper lottery storage device 100 compares the identified physical lottery ticket information with the order information of the lottery purchaser's purchase of lottery tickets obtained from the server. For example, extract the lottery digital number on the physical lottery ticket after identification, extract the lottery digital number selected by the purchaser from all the order information of multiple purchasers, and compare the two to see if they are the same. If they are the same, it is a match; if they are different, it is a mismatch.

[0111] S104, if it is a match, store the manually deposited physical lottery ticket.

[0112] That is, when the lottery digital number of the physical lottery ticket is the same as the lottery digital number of the order information, it proves that the lottery ticket manually deposited into the paper lottery storage device 100 is the lottery ticket ordered by the lottery purchaser, and this lottery ticket is placed in the ticket storage unit 5 of the paper lottery storage device 100 for storage to realize the custody of this lottery ticket, which is convenient for subsequent ticket collection.

[0113] S105, if it is a mismatch, withdraw the manually deposited physical lottery ticket.

[0114] That is, when the lottery digital number of the physical lottery ticket is different from the lottery digital number of the order information, it proves that the lottery ticket manually deposited into the paper lottery storage device 100 is not the lottery ticket ordered by the lottery purchaser. It may be that someone else deposited the lottery ticket by mistake, so this lottery ticket needs to be refunded.

[0115] The lottery storage method of the present invention is to store and custody the lottery tickets purchased and taken out offline by the lottery purchaser entrusting a third-party purchasing agent, which can solve the inconvenience that the lottery purchaser is not convenient to go to the offline outlet to buy lottery tickets by himself, and at the same time meets the official requirement that it is necessary to actually buy paper lottery tickets at the offline outlet.
