Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of lottery equipment technology, and in particular to a lottery machine ticket tearing module. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the internet and automation technology, self-service lottery machines have gradually emerged, providing users with a way to purchase lottery tickets independently. Through these machines, people can freely and conveniently buy lottery tickets. The machines typically contain a certain number of lottery tickets pre-stored, each connected end-to-end by an easy-tear line to form a ticket strip. When dispensing a ticket, the tearing module inside the machine needs to tear off each ticket from the strip before proceeding with the subsequent ticket dispensing process.

[0003] Currently, when a lottery machine receives a ticket dispensing instruction, the controller inside the machine activates the ticket tearing module. Then, the rubber roller inside the tearing module rotates, driving the ticket belt forward to align the tear line of the ticket with the cutter inside the tearing module. The cutter then breaks the ticket at the tear line, thus completing the ticket tearing process and allowing the ticket to be dispensed smoothly.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors discovered that when tearing lottery tickets, the tear line on the ticket must be aligned with the cutter; otherwise, the cutting method of the cutter can easily damage the ticket. However, using the repeated forward and backward movement of the rubber roller to transport the ticket strip can easily produce large errors after a certain number of forward and backward movements, making it impossible for subsequent tickets to be accurately fed to the cutter, which can easily lead to the subsequent tickets being cut and damaged. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To alleviate the problem that cutting lottery tickets with a cutter can easily lead to subsequent damage to the tickets, this application provides a lottery machine ticket tearing module.

[0006] This application provides a lottery machine ticket tearing module, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A lottery ticket tearing module includes a conveyor frame, a conveying mechanism, a tearing frame, a clamping mechanism, and a pushing mechanism. The conveying mechanism is connected to the conveyor frame and is used to convey the ticket strip. The tearing frame is hinged to one end of the conveyor frame where the ticket is dispensed. The pushing mechanism is connected between the conveyor frame and the tearing frame to drive the tearing frame to rotate. The clamping mechanism is connected to the tearing frame and is used to clamp the lottery ticket that needs to be torn off. When the lottery ticket to be torn off is clamped by the clamping mechanism, the pushing mechanism drives the tearing frame to rotate so that the tear line of the lottery ticket breaks from one end.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the lottery machine receives the ticket dispensing command, the conveying mechanism on the conveyor frame will convey the ticket strip forward, sending the lottery ticket to be dispensed into the clamping mechanism, so that the clamping mechanism clamps the lottery ticket, and then pushes the mechanism to start, and then pushes the mechanism to drive the tearing frame to rotate, so that the lottery ticket is subjected to force, and the easy-tear line between the two lottery tickets breaks from one end until the two lottery tickets are completely separated, thus realizing the tearing process of a lottery ticket without having to move the lottery ticket to a specific position, ensuring the integrity of the lottery ticket after tearing.

[0009] Preferably, the conveying mechanism includes two sets of rubber rollers, both sets of rubber rollers are rotatably connected to the tearing frame, the two sets of rubber rollers are spaced apart along the conveying direction of the ticket strip, each set of rubber rollers includes two rubber rollers, the two rubber rollers in the same set clamp and convey the ticket strip, a power mechanism is installed on the conveying frame, and multiple rubber rollers are connected to the power mechanism, the power mechanism is used to drive the two rubber rollers in the same set to rotate synchronously in opposite directions.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the ticket strip is clamped between two sets of rubber rollers. The two sets of rubber rollers are driven to rotate synchronously in opposite directions by a power mechanism, which can drive the ticket strip forward, thereby ensuring the smooth transport of the ticket strip.

[0011] Preferably, the power mechanism includes a stepper motor and a drive gear. The stepper motor is fixedly connected to the conveyor frame, and the drive gear is rotatably connected to the conveyor frame. The stepper motor is driven by the drive gear. Each rubber roller is coaxially fixedly connected to a driven gear. The two driven gears connected to two rubber rollers in the same group are meshed together. The driven gear connected to one of the rubber rollers in each group is meshed with the drive gear.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the active gear connected to it is driven by a stepper motor to rotate, which in turn drives the two driven gears meshing with it to rotate. The rotation of each driven gear will drive the driven gear meshing with it to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby realizing the synchronous reverse rotation of the two rubber rollers in the same group, and thus achieving stable delivery of the ticket tape.

[0013] Preferably, the clamping mechanism includes two clamping rollers and a drive assembly. Both clamping rollers are rotatably connected to the tearing frame and are used to clamp the lottery ticket. The drive assembly is connected to the tearing frame, and one of the clamping rollers is connected to the drive assembly to drive the clamping roller to rotate.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, during the lottery ticket dispensing process, when the two sets of rubber rollers rotate to drive the ticket belt forward, the drive component simultaneously drives the clamping rollers to rotate. When the lottery ticket to be dispensed moves to a position close to the two clamping rollers, the lottery ticket will enter between the two clamping rollers as the clamping rollers rotate, thus allowing the clamping rollers to clamp and convey the lottery ticket. Then, the stepper motor and tearing motor stop running, and the push mechanism starts, which drives the tearing frame to rotate, thereby realizing the tearing of the lottery ticket.

[0015] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a fourth gear and a fifth gear. The fourth gear is rotatably connected to the conveyor frame and meshes with the driven gear connected to the rubber roller near the top of the conveyor frame. The fifth gear is coaxially fixedly connected to the clamping roller near the top of the tearing frame and meshes with the fourth gear.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the fourth gear is configured to drive the fifth gear to be connected to the driven gear. When the stepper motor drives the two rubber rollers to rotate, the fourth gear drives the fifth gear to rotate synchronously, which in turn drives the clamping roller, which is fixedly connected to it on the same axis, to rotate. This allows the clamping roller to rotate at the same speed as the rubber roller, reducing the possibility of the lottery ticket being torn during the conveying process due to the speed difference.

[0017] Preferably, the pushing mechanism includes a tearing motor, a limiting plate, and a limiting rod. The tearing motor is fixedly connected to the tearing frame, the limiting plate is rotatably connected to the tearing frame, and the tearing motor is driven by the limiting plate to drive the limiting plate to rotate. The limiting rod is vertically fixedly connected to the side wall of the conveying frame. The limiting plate has a limiting groove, and the limiting rod passes through the limiting groove. When the tearing motor drives the limiting plate to rotate, the tearing frame rotates under the limiting guidance of the limiting rod and the limiting groove.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, after the two clamping rollers clamp the lottery ticket to be issued, the tearing motor is started. The tearing motor drives the limiting plate to rotate. Under the limit of the limiting rod, the tearing frame will rotate under the guidance of the limiting rod, thereby realizing the tearing of the ticket strip.

[0019] Preferably, the conveyor frame is provided with an auxiliary tearing mechanism, which includes a support plate, a moving component, and two tearing plates. The support plate is connected to the conveyor frame, and the two tearing plates are slidably connected to the support plate. The two tearing plates are located on the upper and lower sides of the ticket strip, respectively. The moving component is connected to the support plate, and the two tearing plates are connected to the moving component. The moving component is used to drive the two tearing plates to move synchronously in opposite directions. When the lottery ticket to be issued moves between the two clamping rollers, the tear line is located between the horizontal gaps of the two tearing plates.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when tearing lottery tickets, the ends of the tear lines are often difficult to break. If too much force is applied directly, the lottery ticket can easily be torn. Therefore, before driving the tearing frame to rotate and tear the lottery ticket, the moving component is activated first. The moving component drives the two tearing plates to move synchronously in opposite directions. One of the two adjacent lottery tickets is lifted upward from the end by one tearing plate, while the other lottery ticket is bent downward from the end by the other tearing plate. This allows a gap to be torn in the tear line between the two adjacent lottery tickets. Then, the tearing motor is activated to drive the tearing frame to rotate, which allows the lottery ticket to be torn smoothly along the tear line, reducing the possibility of tearing the lottery ticket.

[0021] Preferably, the moving component includes an electric pusher cylinder, a sixth gear, and two racks. The sixth gear is rotatably connected to the support plate, and the two racks are slidably connected to the support plate. The two racks are meshed with the sixth gear and are located on opposite sides of the sixth gear. The two racks are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with two tearing plates, and the racks are fixedly connected to their corresponding tearing plates. The electric pusher cylinder is fixedly connected to the support plate, and the piston rod of the electric pusher cylinder is fixedly connected to the racks to drive the racks to slide.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the piston rod of the electric push cylinder extends and retracts, causing the rack fixedly connected to it to slide. The sliding of the rack will drive another rack to move synchronously in the opposite direction through the transmission of the sixth gear, thereby driving the two tearing plates to move, so that the two tearing plates tear a gap in the easy-tear line from the end, ensuring the integrity of the lottery ticket.

[0023] Preferably, each of the tear plates is fixedly connected to a top block on the side near the ticket strip, and the side of each top block near the ticket strip is an inclined surface, which slopes from the end of the lottery ticket toward the inside of the lottery ticket in a direction away from the lottery ticket.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the top block is set as an inclined surface. When the moving component drives the two tearing plates to move and apply pressure to tear the lottery ticket, the bottom of the top block will first abut against the end of the lottery ticket. Then, as the two tearing plates move gradually, the tear line will gradually break from the end and form a gap, further reducing the possibility of damage when tearing the lottery ticket.

[0025] Preferably, the support plate is slidably connected to the conveyor frame, the support plate slides along the width direction of the conveyor frame, and an adjustment component is provided on the support plate, the adjustment component being connected to the support plate to drive the support plate to move.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the two tearing plates on the support plate can be moved by using the adjustment component to drive the support plate to move, so that the tearing plates can apply pressure to tear lottery tickets of different widths, thereby improving the applicability of the tearing mechanism.

[0027] In summary, this application includes at least the following beneficial technical effects:

[0028] 1. By hinged the tearing frame to the moving frame, the conveying mechanism transports the lottery ticket to the clamping mechanism, which then clamps the ticket. The pushing mechanism drives the tearing frame to rotate, which applies force to the ticket and causes the tear line between the two tickets to break from one end until the two tickets are completely separated. This completes the tearing process of a lottery ticket without having to move the ticket to a specific location, thus ensuring the integrity of the ticket after tearing.

[0029] 2. By using the fourth gear, the fifth gear is connected to the driven gear. When the stepper motor drives the two rubber rollers to rotate, the fourth gear drives the fifth gear to rotate synchronously. This causes the fifth gear to drive the clamping roller, which is fixedly connected to it on the same axis, to rotate. This allows the clamping roller to rotate at the same speed as the rubber roller, reducing the possibility of the lottery ticket being torn during the conveying process due to the speed difference.

[0030] 3. By setting the top block as an inclined plane, when the moving component drives the two tearing plates to move and apply pressure to tear the lottery ticket, the bottom of the top block will first abut against the end of the lottery ticket. Then, as the two tearing plates move gradually, the tear line will gradually break from the end and form a gap, further reducing the possibility of damage when tearing the lottery ticket.

[0041] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-9 This application will be described in further detail.

[0042] This application discloses a lottery machine ticket tearing module.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2A lottery ticket tearing module for a lottery machine includes a conveyor frame 100 and a tearing frame 200. The tearing frame 200 is located at the discharge end of the conveyor frame 100 and is arranged side-by-side with the conveyor frame 100 along the conveying direction of the lottery tickets. The tearing frame 200 is hinged to the conveyor frame 100, and the hinge point between the tearing frame 200 and the conveyor frame 100 is located closer to the side of the tearing frame 200. The hinge axis between the tearing frame 200 and the conveyor frame 100 is vertical. A conveying mechanism 300 is installed on the conveyor frame 100 for clamping and conveying the ticket strip. A clamping mechanism 500 is installed on the tearing frame 200. The ticket strip is pushed forward by the conveying mechanism 300, causing each lottery ticket to enter the clamping mechanism 500 one by one. A pushing mechanism 600 is installed on the tearing frame 200 for driving the tearing frame 200 to rotate along its hinge axis with the conveyor frame 100. When the lottery machine receives a ticket dispensing instruction, the external controller activates the conveyor mechanism 300, which drives the ticket belt forward. When the ticket at the front enters the clamping mechanism 500 on the tearing frame 200, it is clamped by the clamping mechanism 500. Then, the push mechanism 600 is activated, which drives the tearing frame 200 to rotate. At this time, the ticket will be broken from the tear line between the two tickets until the two tickets are completely separated, thus completing the tearing process of one ticket. Then, the push mechanism 600 drives the tearing frame 200 to move back, preparing for the next tearing process.

[0045] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The conveying mechanism 300 includes a lower support plate 320 and an upper support plate 310, both of which are fixedly connected to the conveying frame 100. The upper support plate 310 is located above the lower support plate 320, and a gap is reserved between the lower support plate 320 and the upper support plate 310 for the ticket tape to pass through. Two sets of rubber rollers 330 are provided on the conveying frame 100, spaced apart along the conveying direction of the ticket tape. Each set of rubber rollers 330 includes two rollers 330, which are spaced apart vertically. Each roller 330 is rotatably connected to the conveying frame 100, and the ticket tape is held between the two rollers 330 in each set. A power mechanism 400 is installed on the conveying frame 100, which drives the two rollers 330 in each set to rotate synchronously in opposite directions to convey the ticket tape.

[0046] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4The power mechanism 400 includes a stepper motor 410 fixedly connected to the conveyor frame 100. The rotation axis of the main shaft of the stepper motor 410 is parallel to the rotation axis of the rubber roller 330. The conveyor frame 100 is equipped with a transmission gear set 420. The transmission gear set 420 includes a first gear 421 coaxially fixedly connected to the main shaft of the stepper motor 410. A second gear 422 is rotatably connected to the conveyor frame 100. The second gear 422 meshes with the first gear 421. The diameter of the second gear 422 is larger than the diameter of the first gear 421. A third gear 423 is coaxially fixedly connected to the second gear 422. The diameter of the third gear 423 is smaller than the diameter of the second gear 422. A drive gear 430 is installed on the conveyor frame 100. The third gear 423 meshes with the drive gear 430. The diameter of the drive gear 430 is larger than the diameter of the third gear 423.

[0047] Each rubber roller 330 is coaxially fixedly connected to a driven gear 440. Multiple driven gears 440 are located on the same side of the conveyor frame 100. The driven gears 440 connected to two rubber rollers 330 in the same group are meshed. The driven gears 440 coaxially fixedly connected to the lower rubber roller 330 in each group of rubber rollers 330 are all meshed with the driving gear 430. The ticket strip, consisting of lottery tickets joined end to end, is located between two sets of rubber rollers 330. After the lottery machine receives the ticket dispensing command, the stepper motor 410 starts. The rotation of the main shaft of the stepper motor 410 drives the drive gear 430 to rotate through the cooperation of the first gear 421, the second gear 422, and the third gear 423. The rotation of the drive gear 430 drives the two driven gears 440 meshing with it to rotate. Then, each driven gear 440 drives the other driven gear 440 meshing with it to rotate, thereby causing the two rubber rollers 330 in the same set to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. This allows the two rubber rollers 330 in the same set to clamp and convey the lottery tickets, thus achieving the conveying of the lottery tickets. When tearing the lottery tickets, the clamping of the two rubber rollers 330 ensures that the lottery tickets can be torn smoothly.

[0048] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5The clamping mechanism 500 includes two clamping rollers 510, both of which are rotatably connected to the tearing frame 200. The rotation axis of each clamping roller 510 is parallel to the rotation axis of the rubber roller 330. The two clamping rollers 510 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. A drive assembly 520 is installed on the tearing frame 200. The drive assembly 520 includes a fourth gear 521 that rotates on the conveyor frame 100. The fourth gear 521 is meshed with the driven gear 440 near the top of the conveyor frame 100 in a set of driven gears 440 near the tearing frame 200. A fifth gear 522 is coaxially fixedly connected to the upper clamping roller 510. When the tearing frame 200 is in contact with the conveyor frame 100, the fifth gear 522 meshes with the fourth gear 521. The fourth gear 521 and the fifth gear 522 are of the same type as the driven gear 440.

[0049] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 The pushing mechanism 600 includes a tearing motor 610 fixedly connected to the tearing frame 200. The main shaft of the tearing motor 610 passes through the side wall of the tearing frame 200 and is fixedly connected to a limiting plate 620. The limiting plate 620 is parallel to the side wall of the tearing frame 200 and has a limiting groove 630. A limiting rod 640 is fixedly connected to the conveying frame 100. The limiting rod 640 is parallel to the length direction of the clamping roller 510 and passes through the limiting groove 630 of the limiting plate 620.

[0050] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The limiting groove 630 includes a first guide portion 631, a second guide portion 632, and a third guide portion 633, which are arranged sequentially. The first guide portion 631 and the second guide portion 632 are symmetrically arranged around the center of the third guide portion 633. When the tearing frame 200 abuts against the conveyor frame 100, the limiting rod 640 is located at the bottom of the first guide portion 631, and the second guide portion 632 communicates with the third limiting groove 630 from the first guide portion 631 along an inclined direction away from the rotation axis of the limiting plate 620. When the main shaft of the tearing motor 610 rotates, driving the limiting plate 620 to rotate, the tearing frame 200 rotates along its hinge axis with the conveyor frame 100 under the guidance of the limiting groove 630.

[0051] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6When the lottery machine needs to dispense a ticket, the stepper motor 410 starts and drives two sets of rubber rollers 330 to convey the lottery ticket forward. The driven gear 440 located near the clamping roller 510 rotates, which drives the fourth gear 521 meshing with it to rotate. Since the fourth gear 521 and the fifth gear 522 are in a meshing state at this time, the rotation of the fourth gear 521 will drive the fifth gear 522 meshing with it to rotate, thereby driving the clamping roller 510 coaxially fixedly connected to the fifth gear 522 to rotate. After the ticket strip comes out from the conveyor frame 100, it will enter between the two clamping rollers 510 under the drive of the rotation of the clamping roller 510. When the lottery ticket to be torn enters between the two clamping rollers 510, the two clamping rollers 510 can simultaneously apply clamping force to the lottery ticket. The rubber roller 330 clamps the ticket strip behind it, and then the external controller controls the tearing motor 610 to start. The rotation of the main shaft of the tearing motor 610 will drive the limit plate 620 to rotate, so that the tearing frame 200 can rotate along its own hinge axis under the limit of the limit groove 630. Then the ticket will be subjected to force and will break from the easy-tear line between the two tickets until the two tickets are completely separated, thus tearing the ticket smoothly and ensuring the integrity of the ticket tearing. Then the main shaft of the tearing motor 610 rotates back, driving the limit plate 620 to rotate back, so that the tearing frame 200 can move back to the position of contact with the conveyor frame 100 under the limit of the limit rod 640 on the limit plate 620, and the fifth gear 522 and the fourth gear 521 will re-mesh, thus completing one ticket tearing process.

[0052] The implementation principle of a lottery machine ticket tearing module in this application embodiment is as follows: When the lottery machine receives a ticket dispensing command, the external controller will control the stepper motor 410 to drive it. The stepper motor 410 drives two sets of rubber rollers 330 to rotate through the transmission gear set 420, so that the rubber rollers 330 drive the ticket belt to be conveyed forward. After the lottery ticket at the front of the ticket belt is conveyed between the two clamping rollers 510, the stepper motor 410 is turned off, and then the tearing motor 610 is started, so that the tearing motor 610 drives the tearing frame 200 to rotate, so that the lottery ticket is subjected to force, so that the lottery ticket will break from one end of the easy tear line between the two tickets until the two tickets are completely separated, thus realizing the ticket tearing process of one lottery ticket. Then the push mechanism 600 drives the tearing frame 200 to move back, ready for the next ticket tearing process.

[0053] Example 2

[0054] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that when tearing the lottery ticket, if the driving tearing frame 200 directly pulls the easy-tear line between two lottery tickets from one end, the end of the easy-tear line is often not easy to break. If too much force is applied directly, the lottery ticket is easily torn. In order to facilitate tearing the lottery ticket, an auxiliary tearing mechanism 700 is installed on the conveyor frame 100. The auxiliary tearing mechanism 700 is located at the end of the conveyor frame 100 closest to the tearing frame 200. The auxiliary tearing mechanism 700 includes a support plate 710, which is installed on the conveyor frame 100. The support plate 710 is vertically arranged, and a sliding connection is made on the support plate 710. There are two tear plates 720, which are located on the upper and lower sides of the lottery ticket respectively. The ticket tape can pass between the two tear plates 720 during transportation. The two tear plates 720 are staggered. Each tear plate 720 has a top block 721 fixedly connected to the side of the ticket closer to it. The side of the top block 721 closer to the tear plate 720 is inclined. The inclined side of the top block 721 closer to the ticket is inclined away from the support plate 710 and away from the ticket. A moving component 730 is installed on the support plate 710. The moving component 730 is used to drive the two tear plates 720 to slide in opposite directions, moving closer to or further away from each other.

[0055] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 The moving component 730 includes a sixth gear 732 rotatably connected to a support plate 710. The rotation axis of the sixth gear 732 is parallel to the rotation axis of the rubber roller 330. Two racks 733 are slidably connected to the support plate 710. Both racks 733 are vertically arranged and located on opposite sides of the sixth gear 732. The two racks 733 correspond one-to-one with two tearing plates 720, and are fixedly connected to their corresponding tearing plates 720. An electric push cylinder 731 is fixedly connected to the support plate 710. The electric push cylinder 731 is vertically arranged, and its piston rod is fixedly connected to one of the racks 733. During ticket dispensing, the two sets of rubber rollers 330 rotate to transport the lottery tickets to be dispensed between the two clamping rollers 510. Two adjacent lottery tickets correspond one-to-one with two tearing plates 720. One tearing plate 720 is located above one lottery ticket, and the other tearing plate 720 is located above another lottery ticket. Before the tearing motor 610 drives the tearing frame 200 to rotate and tear off the lottery ticket, the piston rod of the electric push cylinder 731 extends and drives the corresponding rack 733 to slide. The sliding of the rack 733 will cause the other rack 733 to slide in the opposite direction through the cooperation of the gear. This allows the two tearing plates 720 to tear a notch at the end of the easy-tear line between the two adjacent lottery tickets. Then, the tearing motor 610 is started to drive the tearing frame 200 to rotate, so that the lottery ticket can be easily torn along the easy-tear line, reducing the possibility of tearing the lottery ticket.

[0056] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8A support plate 710 is slidably connected to a conveyor frame 100. An adjustment assembly 740 is mounted on the conveyor frame 100. The adjustment assembly 740 drives the support plate 710 to slide. The adjustment assembly 740 includes a drive motor 741 fixedly connected to the conveyor frame 100. A lead screw 742 is coaxially fixedly connected to the main shaft of the drive motor 741, and the lead screw 742 is rotatably connected to the conveyor frame 100. Two guide rods 743 are fixedly connected to the conveyor frame 100, and the support plate 710 is slidably connected to the two guide rods 743. The support plate 710 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 742. By driving the lead screw 742 to rotate using the drive motor 741, the support plate 710 can be moved, thereby adjusting the position of the two tearing plates 720. This allows the two tearing plates 720 to apply pressure and tear lottery tickets of different widths, improving the applicability of the tearing mechanism.

[0057] The implementation principle of a lottery machine tearing module in this application embodiment is as follows: When the tearing motor 610 drives the tearing frame 200 to rotate and tear off the lottery ticket, the electric push cylinder 731 is first activated. The piston rod of the electric push cylinder 731 extends and retracts, which drives the rack 733 fixedly connected to it to slide. Through the cooperation of the gears, the two racks 733 slide synchronously in opposite directions, thereby driving the two tearing plates 720 to slide in opposite directions, so that the two tearing plates 720 can tear a notch from the end of the easy-tear line between two adjacent lottery tickets. Then, the tearing motor 610 is activated to drive the tearing frame 200 to rotate, so that the lottery ticket can be easily torn along the easy-tear line, reducing the possibility of tearing the lottery ticket.

[0058] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
