[0043] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0044] The lottery tickets currently sold in lottery vending machines are mainly instant tickets, which are usually stored in the form of ticket books, usually 50 or 100 tickets per book. Multiple tickets are connected front to back, with the tail of the previous ticket connected to the head of the next ticket. There is a folding perforation line between the two tickets. The two tickets are folded in half along the folding perforation line and stacked on top of each other to form a ticket book.

[0045] Because the instant lottery tickets are stored in the form of a ticket book, when using a lottery ticket vending machine to sell instant lottery tickets, it is often easy for one or more tickets to stick together. The problem of sticking tickets is a common and difficult problem that affects the user's sales experience, causes various economic disputes and resource consumption, and easily interferes with the normal sales activities of the outlets. For this reason, the embodiment of the present application performs ticket separation and sticking ticket detection on the lottery tickets to prevent the problem of sticking tickets.

[0046] The internal structure of the lottery ticket vending machine mainly includes lottery ticket storage components, conveying components, and ticket dispensing components. The embodiment of the present application has made improvements in many aspects to the problem of ticket sticking.

[0047] First, from the storage aspect of lottery tickets, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present application, a lottery ticket bin 1 is disclosed, comprising:

[0048] The warehouse body 11 has a storage space for accommodating the lottery ticket 10, and the warehouse body 11 includes a first stopper 12 disposed on a first side of the storage space, and the first stopper 12 is provided with a resistance contact portion 14 toward the storage space, and the resistance contact portion is used to prevent the lottery ticket from sliding;

[0049] elastic member connected to the first stopper 12 to drive the resistance contact portion 14 to move toward the accommodating space.

[0050] In this embodiment, the bin body 11 is the main part of the lottery ticket bin 1, and the bin body 11 has a storage space for accommodating lottery tickets 10, providing basic support for the storage of lottery tickets 10. The shape, size and material selection of the bin body 11 may vary according to actual needs to ensure safe storage and easy management of lottery tickets 10.

[0051] In this embodiment, the first stopper 12 is provided with a resistance contact portion 14, and the resistance contact portion 14 is arranged toward the accommodation space. When the accommodation space stores the lottery ticket 10, the resistance contact portion 14 can contact the lottery ticket 10, and the resistance contact portion 14 can prevent the lottery ticket 10 from sliding relative to the resistance contact portion 14. Since the lottery ticket 10 is connected end to end, when the lottery ticket is output from the lottery ticket chamber 1, the conveying force will be used to pull the lottery ticket out of the lottery ticket chamber 1, and the resistance contact portion 14 can prevent the lottery ticket from sliding relative to the resistance contact portion 14. Under the conveying force and the blocking effect of the resistance contact portion 14, the adhering lottery tickets can be separated to achieve the effect of separating the tickets, thereby reducing the possibility of the lottery ticket chamber 1 outputting the adhering tickets. In addition, the resistance contact portion 14 can also stabilize the lottery tickets in the ticket chamber, keep the lottery tickets in a stable position in the chamber body 11, and prevent them from being confused when moving or vibrating.

[0052] The resistance contact portion 14 needs to be in contact with the lottery ticket 10 to play its role. To this end, the distance between the first stopper 12 and the second stopper 13 can be designed to exactly match the length of the lottery ticket 10, but in this way, a ticket compartment of corresponding length may need to be specially set for lottery tickets 10 of different lengths. The first stopper 12 is provided with a resistance contact portion 14, so that it can block the sliding of the lottery ticket 10. In this embodiment, the lottery ticket compartment 1 is also provided with an elastic member, which is a component that can apply elastic force. It is connected to the first stopper 12 and provides the first stopper 12 with a force to move the resistance contact portion 14 toward the accommodating space, thereby ensuring that the resistance contact portion 14 can fully contact the lottery ticket 10, continuously and stably apply contact resistance to the lottery ticket 10, and ensure the ticket splitting effect.

[0053] At the same time, the resistance contact portion 14 of the first stopper 12 can move toward the accommodating space under the action of the elastic member. Therefore, even if the lottery ticket compartment 1 stores lottery tickets 10 of different lengths, it can ensure that the resistance contact portion 14 of the first stopper 12 is in full contact with it, and can ensure that the other end of the lottery ticket 10 abuts the second stopper 13. If the second stopper 13 is also provided with a resistance contact portion 14, it can also be in full contact with the lottery ticket 10, ensuring that both ends of the lottery ticket 10 can be well separated.

[0054] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present application, the warehouse body 11 further includes a second stopper 13, and the second stopper 13 is disposed on a second side of the warehouse body 11, and the second side is an opposite side to the first side.

[0055] The first stopper 12 and the second stopper 13 are respectively disposed on the first side and the second side of the bin body 11, and the first side and the second side are two opposite sides of the bin body 11, so that the bin body 11, the first stopper 12 and the second stopper 13 enclose a storage space, and the storage space is used to store the lottery tickets 10 connected end to end and stacked. When the lottery ticket 10 is placed in the storage space, the first stopper 12 can block one side of the lottery ticket 10, and the second stopper 13 can block the other side of the lottery ticket 10, that is, the first stopper 12 and the second stopper 13 respectively block the opposite sides of the material. For example, the first stopper 12 and the second stopper 13 respectively block the upper and lower sides of the material.

[0056] The first stopper 12 and the second stopper 13 are both provided with a resistance contact portion 14, which can better improve the separation effect of lottery tickets in the ticket chamber.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, the resistance contact part 14 includes at least one of a strip structure, a granular structure and a rough surface. The function of the resistance contact part 14 is to prevent the lottery ticket 10 from sliding relative to the resistance contact part 14 when the lottery ticket bin 1 outputs the lottery ticket 10, so as to separate the adhering lottery ticket 10. The specific structure of the resistance contact part 14 can be a strip structure, a granular structure, a rough surface, etc., which can be used alone or in combination with multiple structures. These structures can usually be arranged in multiple layers or have a certain height along the height direction of the ticket bin, so that the stacked lottery tickets 10 can be abutted against the resistance contact part 14 in the thickness direction. The strip structure is a strip-shaped protruding or concave structure, and the strip structure is usually arranged in the transverse direction of the ticket bin. The strip structure can specifically be a continuous multi-layer strip structure, a strip structure separated into multiple sections, and a strip structure dislocated from top to bottom, etc. The granular structure can be a granular protruding or concave structure, and the particles can be round, square, triangular or other special-shaped structures. In addition, the resistance contact portion 14 may be a rough surface, which can also prevent the lottery ticket 10 from sliding when the rough surface contacts the lottery ticket 10. In short, the resistance contact portion 14 only needs to prevent the lottery ticket 10 from sliding relative to the resistance contact portion 14 when the lottery ticket 10 contacts the resistance contact portion 14.

[0058] The resistance contact portion includes a plurality of strip structures, which are arranged along the lottery ticket stacking direction of the ticket chamber, and the strip structures on the first stopper and the strip structures on the second stopper are arranged alternately in the lottery ticket stacking direction.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present application, the resistance contact portion 14 includes a plurality of strip structures, which are arranged along the lottery ticket stacking direction of the ticket compartment, and the strip structures on the first stopper 12 and the strip structures on the second stopper 13 are staggered in the lottery ticket stacking direction.

[0060] A plurality of strip structures are arranged along the lottery ticket stacking direction, and the lottery ticket stacking direction is arranged as follows: Figure 1 The strip structure is arranged in the direction of the opening, that is, in the height direction of the bin body 11. The thickness and spacing of the strip structure in the lottery ticket stacking direction can be set according to the lottery tickets placed. Because the lottery tickets are stacked end to end, the strip structure on the first stopper 12 and the strip structure on the second stopper 13 are staggered in the lottery ticket stacking direction, which can better adapt to the lottery ticket stacking method and ensure that both ends of the lottery ticket can be well separated.

[0061] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present application, one end of the first stopper 12 is hinged to the bin body 11 through a first hinge shaft 15, and the elastic member is configured to drive the first stopper 12 to rotate around the first hinge shaft 15 to drive the resistance contact portion 14 to move toward the accommodating space.

[0062] The elastic member drives the resistance contact portion 14 of the first stopper 12 to move toward the accommodation space, which may be to drive the first stopper 12 to move toward the accommodation space as a whole, or to drive the first stopper 12 to move partially toward the accommodation space. In this embodiment, one end of the first stopper 12 is hinged to the bin body 11 through the first hinge shaft 15. This connection method allows the first stopper 12 to rotate around the hinge shaft within a certain range. The elastic member is configured to drive the first stopper 12 to rotate around the first hinge shaft 15, so that the resistance contact portion 14 can move toward the accommodation space, so that the resistance contact portion 14 can fully contact the lottery ticket 10. Compared with the method in which the first stopper 12 moves as a whole, the method in which the first stopper 12 is hinged to the bin body 11 and the first stopper 12 contacts the material by rotating relative to the bin body 11 has higher stability and durability.

[0063] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present application, the bin body 11 has a third side and a fourth side, the third side has a ticket outlet opening connected to the accommodating space, and the fourth side is the opposite side of the third side; the first hinge shaft 15 is arranged on the side of the resistance contact portion 14 close to the fourth side, and the end of the resistance contact portion 14 close to the third side is inclined toward the accommodating space relative to the end of the resistance contact portion 14 close to the fourth side.

[0064] In this embodiment, the third side of the bin body 11 is actually Figure 1 The upper side shown in the figure, the ticket outlet of the lottery ticket chamber 1 is located on this side, and the lottery ticket 10 is output through this side. The fourth side is the opposite side of the third side, that is, the side opposite to the ticket outlet. In the design of the lottery ticket chamber 1, the fourth side is usually used to support or fix other components. The first hinge 15 is arranged on the side of the resistance contact part 14 close to the fourth side, which means that the end of the resistance contact part 14 close to the third side can be rotated relative to the end close to the fourth side, so that the end of the resistance contact part 14 close to the third side can be tilted toward the accommodation space relative to the end close to the fourth side. That is to say, on the side close to the ticket outlet, the resistance contact part 14 can be more fully in contact with the lottery ticket 10 to ensure its ticket splitting effect, and as the lottery ticket 10 decreases, under the action of the elastic force, the resistance contact part 14 can always maintain full contact with the lottery ticket 10 close to the ticket outlet. Moreover, the resistance contact part 14 is in an inclined form as a whole, which can improve its effect of blocking the lottery ticket 10 from sliding relative to the resistance contact part 14, and further improve the ticket splitting effect.

[0065] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present application, a first guide groove 113 is provided on the warehouse body 11, and the first guide groove 113 is an arc structure centered on the first hinge shaft 15. A guide portion is provided on the first stopper 12, and the guide portion is located in the first guide groove 113 and can move along the first guide groove 113.

[0066] A first guide groove 113 is provided on the warehouse body 11, and the first guide groove 113 is an arc-shaped structure centered on the first hinge shaft 15. This design allows the guide part to move along a fixed arc path when the first stopper 12 rotates or swings. This arc path matches the rotation center of the first hinge shaft 15, ensuring the smoothness and controllability of the movement of the first stopper 12. The guide part is provided on the first stopper 12, at a position corresponding to the first guide groove 113. The shape and size of the guide part need to match the first guide groove 113 to ensure a close fit and smooth movement therebetween. The main function of the guide part is to guide the first stopper 12 to move along the first guide groove 113. Under the elastic force of the elastic member, the guide part will move along the arc path of the first guide groove 113 to ensure the stability of the first stopper 12 rotating around the first hinge shaft 15.

[0067] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present application, the elastic member includes a first tension spring 16 , one end of the first tension spring 16 is connected to the first stopper 12 , and the other end of the first tension spring 16 is connected to the bin body 11 .

[0068] The elastic member can be in various forms, such as a tension spring, a compression spring, a spring sheet, and the like. In the present embodiment, the elastic member adopts a first tension spring 16. The characteristic of the tension spring is that when its two ends are fixed and subjected to a tensile force, it will try to recover to its unstretched length, thereby generating a tensile force. The two ends of the first tension spring 16 are respectively connected to the first stopper 12 and the bin body 11, which can provide a force to bring the first stopper 12 and the bin body 11 closer to each other, so that the first stopper 12 and the second stopper 13 can respectively fully contact the lottery ticket 10, ensuring that the resistance contact portion 14 can stably play its ticket-splitting role. In order to facilitate the installation of the first tension spring 16, a tension spring column can be set at the position corresponding to the first stopper 12 and the bin body 11 for installing the tension spring.

[0069] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present application, the warehouse body 11 includes a first warehouse body portion 111 and a second warehouse body portion 112, the first stopper 12 is located on the first warehouse body portion 111, and the second stopper 13 is located on the second warehouse body portion 112; the first warehouse body portion 111 and the second warehouse body portion 112 are connected, and the first warehouse body portion 111 and the second warehouse body portion 112 are configured to adjust their relative positions in a first direction, and the first direction is the direction in which the first stopper 12 approaches or moves away from the second stopper 13.

[0070] For lottery tickets 10 with relatively small length differences, the elastic force provided by the elastic member to the first stopper 12 can ensure full contact between the first stopper 12 and the second stopper 13. However, for lottery tickets 10 with large length differences, the travel of the first stopper 12 provided by the elastic member may not meet the requirements.

[0071] In this embodiment, the bin body 11 is divided into two independent but connectable parts, namely, a first bin body part 111 and a second bin body part 112. The first stopper 12 is located on the first bin body part 111. The first stopper 12 is usually equipped with a resistance contact part 14. Similarly, the second stopper 13 is located on the second bin body part 112. Similar to the first stopper 12, the second stopper 13 may also be equipped with a resistance contact part 14. The first bin body part 111 and the second bin body part 112 are designed to adjust their relative positions in a first direction, which refers to the direction in which the first stopper 12 approaches or moves away from the second stopper 13. Therefore, the relative position adjustment of the first bin body part 111 and the second bin body part 112 can directly adjust the distance between the first stopper 12 and the second stopper 13, so as to adapt to lottery tickets 10 of different lengths and ensure that the first stopper 12 and the second stopper 13 can always abut against both sides of the lottery ticket 10.

[0072] This embodiment can be used in conjunction with the elastic member to automatically adjust the first stopper 12, and the spacing between the first stopper 12 and the second stopper 13 can be greatly adjusted by the first bin body 111 and the second bin body 112, and the spacing between the first stopper 12 and the second stopper 13 can be slightly adjusted by the elastic member. Of course, this embodiment can also be used alone, and only the relative position adjustment of the first bin body 111 and the second bin body 112 can be relied on to achieve the first stopper 12 and the second stopper 13 against the lottery ticket 10.

[0073] On the ticket bin, you can set the appropriate ticket bin length scale lines for tickets 10 of different lengths. Generally, they are printed by silk screen. According to the relevant standards for ticket printing, the corresponding ticket bin length scale lines are printed to facilitate daily length changes.

[0074] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present application, the warehouse body 11 also includes a first fastener for fixing the first warehouse body portion 111 and the second warehouse body portion 112. A second guide groove 114 is provided on the first warehouse body portion 111 along the first direction. The first fastener is configured to pass through the second guide groove 114 and connect with the second warehouse body portion 112 to fix the relative positions of the first warehouse body portion 111 and the second warehouse body portion 112.

[0075] The position adjustment between the first warehouse body part 111 and the second warehouse body part 112 can be carried out in a variety of ways, such as relative sliding adjustment, thread adjustment, telescopic rod adjustment, etc. After the adjustment, it is necessary to ensure that the relative position of the first warehouse body part 111 and the second warehouse body part 112 is fixed. In this embodiment, the warehouse body 11 also includes a first fastener, and the main function of the first fastener is to fix the relative position of the first warehouse body part 111 and the second warehouse body part 112. A second guide groove 114 is provided on the upper edge of the first warehouse body part 111, and the second guide groove 114 extends along the first direction, that is, the direction in which the first stopper 12 approaches or moves away from the second stopper 13. The first fastener passes through the second guide groove 114, which allows the first fastener to move within the range of the second guide groove 114, thereby providing a guide for the relative position adjustment between the first warehouse body part 111 and the second warehouse body part 112. To adjust the relative position of the first bin body portion 111 and the second bin body portion 112, the user can first loosen the first fastener, then move the first bin body portion 111 or the second first bin body portion 111 along the second guide groove 114 until the ticket bin reaches the desired length, and finally, retighten the fastener to fix the relative position of the two bin bodies 11. Once the fastener is tightened, it will firmly connect the first bin body portion 111 and the second bin body portion 112 to prevent them from accidentally moving during use. This ensures the stability and reliability of the lottery ticket bin 1. The fasteners can be screws, bolts and other fasteners. In the case of Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the fastener includes a stud connected to the second bin body portion 112 , and a hand nut may be provided on the stud, and the first bin body portion 111 and the second bin body portion 112 may be fixed and loosened by the hand nut.

[0076] The above mainly involves the improvement of the lottery ticket bin 1. By improving the lottery ticket bin 1, the ticket separation function can be achieved, thereby preventing the lottery ticket bin 1 from outputting stuck tickets. Based on the above lottery ticket bin 1, the present application also provides a lottery ticket 10 vending machine, which includes the above lottery ticket bin 1, which can greatly reduce the possibility of lottery tickets 10 sticking together and improve user experience.

[0077] The following will introduce improvements on preventing lottery tickets 10 from sticking from the perspective of conveying lottery tickets 10.

[0078] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of the present application, a lottery ticket distribution mechanism is disclosed, and the lottery ticket distribution mechanism includes:

[0079] The first component has a first lottery 10 conveying channel;

[0080] The ticket splitting assembly 2 has a ticket splitting portion 21 for winding the lottery ticket 10;

[0081] The second component has a second lottery ticket 10 conveying channel, the first lottery ticket 10 conveying channel, the ticket dividing section 21, and the second lottery ticket 10 conveying channel are arranged in sequence to form a conveying route for conveying lottery tickets 10, and the conveying route is configured to bend at the ticket dividing section 21.

[0082] In this embodiment, the first component is an upstream component of the ticket splitting assembly 2, and the lottery ticket 10 is transported from the first component to the ticket splitting assembly 2, while the second component is a downstream component of the ticket splitting assembly 2, and the lottery ticket 10 reaches the second component after passing through the ticket splitting assembly 2. The first component has a first lottery ticket 10 conveying channel for conveying the lottery ticket 10 to the downstream ticket splitting assembly 2, and the ticket splitting assembly 2 has a ticket splitting portion 21 for winding the lottery ticket 10, which can be wound by the lottery ticket 10, and the second component has a second lottery ticket 10 conveying channel for conveying the lottery ticket 10 from the ticket splitting assembly 2. The first lottery ticket 10 conveying channel, the ticket splitting portion 21, and the second lottery ticket 10 conveying channel are sequentially arranged to form a conveying route for conveying the lottery ticket 10. The conveying route is bent at the ticket splitting portion 21, and the lottery ticket 10 is wound around the ticket splitting portion 21. Due to the change in its movement direction, the tension between the adhered lottery tickets 10 can be increased, thereby unfolding the adhered lottery tickets 10, thereby achieving the ticket splitting effect.

[0083] The ticket dispensing unit 21 is the core structure of the ticket dispensing assembly 2, and can be configured as a rotatable roller structure or a fixed smooth curved surface. Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the ticket dispensing portion 21 uses a rotatable plastic tube, which is connected and installed via a long screw rod so that it can rotate around the long screw rod.

[0084] See also Figure 4 In some embodiments of the present application, the first component includes a lottery ticket compartment 1, the lottery ticket compartment 1 has a ticket outlet opening, the ticket outlet opening is a first lottery ticket 10 conveying channel, the ticket separating assembly 2 is arranged on the lottery ticket compartment 1, and the ticket separating portion 21 is located on the side where the ticket outlet opening is located.

[0085] The first component and the second component can be various suitable components inside the lottery ticket 10 vending machine, such as a ticket bin, a conveying device, etc. In the present embodiment, the first component includes a lottery ticket bin 1, which is the main part for storing lottery tickets 10 and is used to store lottery tickets 10. The ticket outlet opening is the channel for the lottery tickets 10 to come out of the lottery ticket bin 1, that is, the first lottery ticket 10 conveying channel. The ticket separation component 2 is responsible for separating the lottery tickets 10 that are stuck together and ensuring that each lottery ticket 10 can continue to be transported along the correct path. The ticket separation component 2 is arranged on the lottery ticket bin 1, and its ticket separation part 21 is located on the side where the ticket outlet opening is located. This design enables the lottery ticket 10 to immediately contact the ticket separation part 21 when leaving the ticket bin, thereby achieving rapid separation and transportation.

[0086] See also Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present application, the ticket dividing assembly 2 has a switchable first state and a second state; in the first state, the orthographic projection of the ticket dividing portion 21 on the lottery ticket chamber 1 at least partially overlaps with the ticket outlet opening; in the second state, the orthographic projection of the ticket dividing portion 21 on the lottery ticket chamber 1 and the ticket outlet opening are staggered with each other.

[0087] In this embodiment, the ticket splitting assembly 2 has a first state and a second state, and the two states can be switched to each other. In the first state, the positive projection of the ticket splitting portion 21 on the lottery ticket chamber 1 at least partially overlaps with the ticket outlet opening, ensuring that the lottery ticket 10 coming out of the ticket outlet opening of the lottery ticket chamber 1 can be connected to it, thereby achieving the separation of the lottery ticket 10, ensuring that the ticket splitting assembly 2 is configured to play the role of ticket splitting.

[0088] In the second state, the positive projection of the ticket dividing unit 21 on the lottery ticket chamber 1 is staggered with the ticket outlet opening. This stagger ensures that when the user needs to add a lottery ticket 10 to the lottery ticket chamber 1, the ticket dividing unit 21 will not block the ticket outlet opening, so that the user can easily put the lottery ticket 10 into the ticket chamber. The design of the second state makes the process of adding lottery tickets 10 more convenient. The user can easily put the lottery ticket 10 into the lottery ticket chamber 1 without disassembling or moving the ticket dividing assembly 2, thereby improving the efficiency and ease of use of the operation.

[0089] See also Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present application, the ticket sorting assembly 2 also includes a ticket sorting bracket 22, and the ticket sorting portion 21 is arranged on the ticket sorting bracket 22. The ticket sorting bracket 22 is hinged to the lottery ticket chamber 1 through a second hinge shaft 24, so that the ticket sorting assembly 2 can switch between the first state and the second state.

[0090] The first state and the second state of the ticket sorting assembly 2 can usually be achieved by moving, rotating or otherwise adjusting the position of the ticket sorting portion 21. In this embodiment, the ticket sorting assembly 2 includes not only the ticket sorting portion 21, but also a key ticket sorting bracket 22. The ticket sorting portion 21 is the part around which the lottery ticket 10 is wrapped, and is responsible for separating the adhered lottery tickets 10, while the ticket sorting bracket 22 is a structure that supports and fixes the ticket sorting portion 21. The ticket sorting bracket 22 is connected to the lottery ticket chamber 1 via a second hinge 24. This connection method enables the ticket sorting assembly 2 to switch between different states, so that the ticket sorting assembly 2 can switch to the first state and the second state. Figure 4 As shown, when the ticket splitting assembly 2 can rotate around the second hinge shaft 24, when the ticket splitting portion 21 is rotated to above the ticket outlet opening of the lottery ticket chamber 1, the ticket splitting assembly 2 is in the first state, at which time, the lottery ticket 10 output from the ticket outlet opening of the lottery ticket chamber 1 can bypass the ticket splitting portion 21 to achieve ticket splitting; Figure 6As shown, when the ticket separating part 21 is rotated to the side of the ticket outlet opening, the ticket outlet opening can be completely exposed. At this time, the ticket separating assembly 2 is in the second state, which is convenient for the user to put the lottery ticket 10 into the lottery ticket compartment 1 from the ticket outlet opening.

[0091] In order to facilitate the operation of rotating the ticket dispensing assembly 2, a handle 27 may be provided on the ticket dispensing bracket 22. The user may rotate the ticket dispensing assembly 2 through the handle 27, thereby switching the state of the ticket dispensing assembly 2.

[0092] See also Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present application, a second tension spring 23 is connected between the lottery ticket bin 1 and the ticket separation bracket 22; in the first state, the second hinge shaft 24 is located on one side of the second tension spring 23 to drive the ticket separation assembly 2 to rotate along the first rotation direction; in the second state, the second hinge shaft 24 is located on the other side of the second tension spring 23 to drive the ticket separation assembly 2 to rotate along the second rotation direction, and the second rotation direction is the opposite direction of the first rotation direction.

[0093] In this embodiment, a second tension spring 23 is connected between the lottery ticket bin 1 and the ticket separation bracket 22. The second tension spring 23 provides a continuous elastic force to keep the ticket separation bracket 22 reversed in two states. Figure 4 As shown, when the ticket dispensing assembly 2 is in the first state, the second hinge shaft 24 is located on one side of the second tension spring 23. At this time, the elastic force of the second tension spring 23 drives the ticket dispensing assembly 2 to rotate along the first rotation direction, which is Figure 4 In the counterclockwise direction, the elastic force of the second tension spring 23 can prevent the ticket holder 22 from rotating to the second state. In order to switch to the second state, the user needs to overcome the elastic force of the second tension spring 23 and manually or automatically rotate the ticket holder 22 around the second hinge shaft 24. As the ticket holder 22 rotates, the second tension spring 23 moves with the ticket holder 22, so that the second hinge shaft 24 can be moved to the other side of the second tension spring 23. Figure 6 As shown, when the ticket dispensing assembly 2 rotates to the second state, the elastic force of the second tension spring 23 drives the ticket dispensing assembly 2 to rotate along the second rotation direction. Figure 6 The ticket dispensing portion 21 is staggered with the ticket dispensing opening, so that the user can add lottery tickets 10 to the lottery ticket compartment 1. At this time, the elastic force of the second tension spring 23 can prevent the ticket dispensing bracket 22 from rotating to the first state.

[0094] See also Figure 4In some embodiments of the present application, a first limiting portion 25 is provided on the ticket separation bracket 22, and a second limiting portion 115 is provided on the lottery ticket bin 1. In the first state, the first limiting portion 25 and the second limiting portion 115 abut against each other to limit the ticket separation assembly 2 from rotating in the first rotation direction. In the first state, the first limiting portion 25 and the second limiting portion 115 abut against each other to form a physical barrier to prevent the ticket separation assembly 2 from continuing to rotate in the first rotation direction, thereby stably maintaining the ticket separation assembly 2 in the first state.

[0095] Similarly, see Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present application, a third limiting portion 26 is provided on the ticket separation bracket 22, and a fourth limiting portion 116 is provided on the lottery ticket bin 1. In the second state, the third limiting portion 26 and the fourth limiting portion 116 abut against each other to limit the ticket separation assembly 2 from rotating in the second rotation direction. In the second state, the third limiting portion 26 and the fourth limiting portion 116 abut against each other to form a physical barrier to prevent the ticket separation assembly 2 from continuing to rotate in the second rotation direction, thereby stably maintaining the ticket separation assembly 2 in the second state.

[0096] See also Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments of the present application, the lottery ticket bin 1 further includes a bin body 11, a connecting member 3 and a second fastener, the ticket dividing assembly 2 is disposed on the connecting member 3, and the connecting member 3 and the bin body 11 are configured to be able to adjust relative positions in a first direction, and the first direction is the length direction of the bin body 11;

[0097] A connecting groove 31 and a third guide groove 32 are provided on the connecting member 3. One end of the connecting groove 31 is open, and the other end of the connecting groove 31 is connected to the third guide groove 32. The third guide groove 32 is arranged along the first direction. The second fastener is configured to pass through the third guide groove 32 and connect to the warehouse body 11 to fix the relative position of the connecting member 3 and the warehouse body 11.

[0098] Although the ticket splitting assembly 2 can be directly connected to the bin body 11 of the lottery ticket bin 1, the assembly is relatively inconvenient, and the position of the ticket splitting assembly 2 cannot be adjusted. In this embodiment, the lottery ticket bin 1 also includes a connecting member 3, and the ticket splitting assembly 2 is arranged on the connecting member 3. The connecting member 3 and the bin body 11 are configured to be able to adjust the relative position in a first direction, so that the ticket splitting assembly 2 can be adjusted relative to the bin body 11 in the first direction. The first direction is the length direction of the bin body 11, that is, the direction in which the aforementioned first stopper 12 and the second stopper 13 approach or move away from each other. In this way, the ticket splitting part 21 can adjust its position in the length direction of the bin body 11, so as to better play the role of ticket splitting, especially for lottery tickets 10 of different lengths, the position of the ticket splitting assembly 2 can be adjusted to achieve the corresponding best ticket splitting effect.

[0099] The connecting member 3 of this embodiment is provided with a connecting groove 31 and a third guide groove 32. The third guide groove 32 is provided along the first direction and cooperates with the second fastener to provide a guide for the adjustment of the connecting member 3 and the ticket dispensing assembly 2. The second fastener is configured to pass through the third guide groove 32 and connect to the bin body 11 to fix the relative position of the connecting member 3 and the bin body 11. The second fastener can be provided with reference to the aforementioned first fastener.

[0100] The function of the connecting groove 31 is to facilitate the assembly of the connecting member 3 and the warehouse body 11. When the warehouse body 11 is provided with a second fastener, the second fastener can be directly passed through the connecting groove 31 to reach the third guide groove 32 without removing the second fastener. In particular, when both sides of the warehouse body 11 are respectively fixed to both sides of the connecting member 3, the connecting member 3 can be directly installed on the warehouse body 11 as a whole, which greatly improves the convenience of assembly.

[0101] See also Fig.11 and Fig.12 In some embodiments of the present application, the first component, the ticket distribution component 2 and the second component are arranged in sequence and spaced apart.

[0102] The aforementioned ticket splitting assembly 2 is mainly arranged on the lottery ticket bin 1, and the ticket splitting bracket 22 is relatively high, and the required installation controls are relatively large, which wastes a lot of equipment space. However, this embodiment is suitable for places where smaller equipment is required. The first component, the ticket splitting assembly 2 and the second component are arranged in sequence, and the ticket splitting assembly 2 is independent of the first component. For example, the first component is the lottery ticket bin 1, and the second component is the ticket dispensing assembly 5, and the ticket splitting assembly 2 is independently arranged between the lottery ticket bin 1 and the ticket dispensing assembly 5.

[0103] Normally, the ticket separation component 2 is arranged on the lottery ticket bin 1, and the ticket separation can be realized by bypassing the ticket separation part 21 from above the ticket separation part 21, while the present embodiment can bypass the ticket separation part 21 from below the ticket separation part 21, so that the forward direction of the stuck tickets is changed, the tension between the tickets is increased, and the stuck tickets can be separated, and the ticket separation can also be realized. These two methods can be respectively called the upper bypass ticket separation method and the lower bypass ticket separation method.

[0104] See also Fig.13In some embodiments of the present application, the first component is a lottery ticket bin 1, which has a ticket outlet opening, which is a first lottery ticket 10 conveying channel, and the ticket outlet opening is tilted toward the ticket dispensing component 2. In this embodiment, the first component is also the lottery ticket bin 1, but the difference is that since the ticket dispensing component 2 is independent, it cannot face the ticket outlet opening of the lottery ticket bin 1 in order to reduce its height. Therefore, in this embodiment, the ticket outlet opening of the lottery ticket bin 1 is tilted toward the ticket dispensing component 2, which can ensure that the lottery ticket 10 is more smoothly output from the ticket outlet opening to the ticket dispensing component 2. In order to tilt the ticket outlet opening of the lottery ticket bin 1, an upper support and a base can be set, and the two ends of the lottery ticket bin 1 are respectively installed on the upper support and the base, so that the lottery ticket bin 1 is tilted, so that the ticket outlet opening of the lottery ticket bin 1 is tilted toward the ticket dispensing component 2.

[0105] The above mainly involves the improvement of ticket separation on the lottery ticket 10 conveying route, so as to achieve the ticket separation effect. Based on the above-mentioned lottery ticket separation mechanism, the present application also provides a lottery ticket 10 vending machine, which includes the above-mentioned lottery ticket separation mechanism, which can further reduce the possibility of lottery tickets 10 sticking and improve user experience.

[0106] The following mainly cooperates with the detection of sticky tickets to further prevent the lottery ticket vending machine 10 from outputting sticky tickets.

[0107] See also Fig. 9 and Fig.10 In some embodiments of the present application, a lottery ticket issuing mechanism is disclosed, and the lottery ticket issuing device 10 includes:

[0108] The ticket separation component 2 is used to separate the stuck tickets of the lottery ticket 10;

[0109] Adhesion detection component 4: The adhesion detection component 4 is used to detect whether the separated lottery ticket 10 is adhered;

[0110] The ticket dispensing component 5 is used to output the lottery tickets 10 that are not adhered after detection.

[0111] In this embodiment, the ticket separation component 2 is one of the core parts of the lottery ticket 10 dispensing device, and is responsible for separating the stuck tickets of the lottery ticket 10. The details of the ticket separation component 2 can refer to the above-mentioned lottery ticket bin 1 and lottery ticket separation mechanism. The adhesion detection component 4 is located after the ticket separation component 2, and is used to detect whether the separated lottery ticket 10 is still stuck. This is usually achieved through detection technologies such as optical sensors, mechanical touch sensors, thickness detection sensors 44, etc. The ticket dispensing component 5 is the output part of the lottery ticket 10 dispensing device. After separation by the ticket separation component 2 and detection by the adhesion detection component 4, the unsticky lottery ticket 10 will be sent to the ticket dispensing component 5, and the ticket dispensing component 5 will accurately output the lottery ticket 10 to the user one by one. At the same time, the ticket dispensing component 5 may also have functions such as counting, recording or printing lottery ticket 10 information to meet different usage requirements. The ticket dispensing component 5 can use structures such as clamping rollers and slideways to achieve the output of lottery tickets 10.

[0112] The lottery ticket issuing agency of this embodiment utilizes the double insurance of ticket splitting and adhesion detection to minimize the problem of stuck tickets, which can effectively improve the user experience and avoid various economic disputes and resource consumption caused by stuck tickets, as well as interference with the normal sales activities of the outlets.

[0113] See also Fig.10 In some embodiments of the present application, the ticket dispensing component 5 includes a ticket dispensing channel, and the adhesion detection component 4 includes a detection sensor 44, and the detection sensor 44 is arranged corresponding to the ticket dispensing channel.

[0114] In this embodiment, the adhesion detection component 4 is arranged in the ticket dispensing component 5. Specifically, the ticket dispensing component 5 includes a ticket dispensing channel, and the ticket dispensing channel can be used to output the lottery ticket 10. The detection sensor 44 is the core part of the adhesion detection component 4, which is responsible for detecting whether the lottery ticket 10 passing through the ticket dispensing channel is adhered. The detection sensor 44 is arranged corresponding to the ticket dispensing channel, which can effectively detect whether the lottery ticket 10 output by the ticket dispensing component 5 is adhered. The detection sensor 44 can be an optical sensor, an ultrasonic sensor and other components. In this embodiment, the ticket dispensing component 5 and the adhesion detection component 4 are combined, which can improve the compactness of the device to a certain extent and reduce the size of the device.

[0115] See also Fig. 9 In some embodiments of the present application, the adhesion detection component 4 includes a detection bracket and a detection sensor 44. The detection bracket is arranged between the ticket separating component 2 and the ticket dispensing component 5, and the detection sensor 44 is arranged on the detection bracket.

[0116] In this embodiment, the adhesion detection component 4 and the ticket dispensing component 5 are independently arranged. Specifically, the adhesion detection component 4 includes a detection bracket and a detection sensor 44. The detection bracket is the supporting structure of the adhesion detection component 4, and the detection sensor 44 is the core component of the adhesion detection component 4, which is responsible for detecting whether the passing lottery ticket 10 has adhesion. The detection bracket is arranged between the ticket dispensing component 2 and the ticket dispensing component 5, and the detection sensor 44 is arranged on the detection bracket. Therefore, the detection sensor 44 is arranged between the ticket dispensing component 2 and the ticket dispensing component 5, and the detection of whether the lottery ticket 10 is adhered can be completed before the lottery ticket 10 reaches the ticket dispensing component 5. The adhesion detection component 4 of this embodiment is independently arranged, and maintenance is more convenient.

[0117] See also Fig.14 In some embodiments of the present application, the detection bracket includes a support member 41, a first limit member 42 and a second limit member 43, the first limit member 42 and the second limit member 43 are both arranged on the support member 41, there is a gap between the first limit member 42 and the second limit member 43 for the lottery ticket 10 to pass through, and a detection sensor 44 is arranged on at least one of the first limit member 42 and the second limit member 43.

[0118] The function of the detection bracket is to support the detection sensor 44. In this embodiment, the detection bracket includes a support member 41, a first limiter 42 and a second limiter 43. The support member 41 is the main part of the detection bracket, which provides sufficient strength and stability to support the first limiter 42 and the second limiter 43. The first limiter 42 is arranged on the support member 41, and is used to limit one side of the lottery ticket 10 when passing through the detection area. The second limiter 43 is also arranged on the support member 41, opposite to the first limiter 42, and is used to limit the other side of the lottery ticket 10. There is a gap between the first limiter 42 and the second limiter 43 for the lottery ticket 10 to pass through, so as to ensure that the lottery ticket 10 can accurately and stably pass through the adhesion detection component 4 every time. The detection sensor 44 is arranged on at least one of the first limiter 42 and the second limiter 43, and can accurately detect the lottery ticket 10 passing between the first limiter 42 and the second limiter 43.

[0119] In such Fig.14 In the illustrated embodiment, detection sensors 44 are disposed on both the first limit member 42 and the second limit member 43 to form a dual sensor system. The two sensors can verify each other to more accurately ensure the accuracy of the detection.

[0120] In some embodiments of the present application, the detection sensor 44 is a thickness detection sensor 44, and the thickness detection sensor 44 is used to detect the thickness of the lottery ticket 10 to determine whether the lottery ticket 10 is stuck.

[0121] In this embodiment, the detection sensor 44 is a thickness detection sensor 44, which detects the thickness of the lottery ticket 10 to determine whether the lottery ticket 10 is stuck. This detection method is the most direct and accurate, because once the lottery ticket 10 is stuck, its thickness increases by multiples, that is, the thickness of the stuck lottery ticket 10 is very different from the thickness of the non-sticky lottery ticket 10. Through the thickness detection sensor 44, it is possible to accurately detect whether the lottery ticket 10 is stuck. The thickness detection sensor 44 can specifically be a laser thickness sensor, an ultrasonic thickness sensor, or other thickness detection sensor 44. Fig.14 The illustrated embodiment employs an ultrasonic thickness sensor.

[0122] As mentioned above, the ticket splitting component 2 can refer to the aforementioned lottery ticket bin 1 and lottery ticket splitting mechanism, see Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments of the present application, the ticket distributing component 2 includes a lottery ticket bin 1, and the lottery ticket bin 1 includes:

[0123] Warehouse body 11;

[0124] The first stopper 12 is disposed on the bin body 11;

[0125] The second stopper 13 is disposed on a second side of the bin body 11, the second side being the opposite side of the first side, and the bin body 11, the first stopper 12 and the second stopper 13 form a storage space for storing the lottery ticket 10;

[0126] At least one of the first stopper 12 and the second stopper 13 is provided with a resistance contact portion 14 facing the accommodation space, and the resistance contact portion 14 is used to prevent the lottery ticket 10 from sliding.

[0127] In this embodiment, the bin body 11 is the main part of the lottery ticket bin 1, and provides basic support for the storage of the lottery ticket 10. The shape, size and material selection of the bin body 11 may vary according to actual needs to ensure the safe storage and easy management of the lottery ticket 10. The first stopper 12 and the second stopper 13 are respectively arranged on the first side and the second side of the bin body 11, and the first side and the second side are two opposite sides of the bin body 11, so that the bin body 11, the first stopper 12 and the second stopper 13 enclose a storage space, and the storage space is used to store the lottery tickets 10 connected end to end and stacked. When the lottery ticket 10 is placed in the storage space, the first stopper 12 can block one side of the lottery ticket 10, and the second stopper 13 can block the other side of the lottery ticket 10, that is, the first stopper 12 and the second stopper 13 respectively block the opposite sides of the material. For example, the first stopper 12 and the second stopper 13 respectively block the upper and lower sides of the material.

[0128] In this embodiment, at least one of the first stopper 12 and the second stopper 13 is provided with a resistance contact portion 14, and the resistance contact portion 14 is arranged toward the accommodation space. When the accommodation space stores the lottery ticket 10, the resistance contact portion 14 can contact the lottery ticket 10, and the resistance contact portion 14 can prevent the lottery ticket 10 from sliding relative to the resistance contact portion 14. Since the lottery ticket 10 is connected end to end, when the lottery ticket 10 is output from the lottery ticket chamber 1, an external force is used to pull the lottery ticket 10 out of the lottery ticket chamber 1, and the resistance contact portion 14 can prevent the lottery ticket 10 from sliding relative to the resistance contact portion 14. Under the pulling action of the external force and the blocking action of the resistance contact portion 14, the stuck lottery tickets 10 can be separated to achieve the effect of separating the tickets, thereby reducing the possibility of the lottery ticket chamber 1 outputting stuck tickets.

[0129] In addition, the resistance contact portion 14 can also stabilize the lottery tickets 10 in the ticket bin, keep the lottery tickets 10 in a stable position in the bin body 11, and prevent them from being disordered when they are moved or vibrated.

[0130] The resistance contact portion 14 may be provided only on the first stopper 12 or the second stopper 13 , or may be provided on both the first stopper 12 and the second stopper 13 .

[0131] See also Figures 9 and 10 In some embodiments of the present application, the lottery ticket 10 dispensing device has a conveying route for conveying the lottery ticket 10, and the ticket dispensing assembly 2 also includes a ticket dispensing portion 21 for the lottery ticket 10 to be wound around, and the conveying route is configured to bend at the ticket dispensing portion 21.

[0132] This ticket splitting assembly 2 needs to cooperate with the first component upstream and the second component downstream. The first component has a first lottery ticket 10 conveying channel for conveying the lottery ticket 10 to the downstream ticket splitting assembly 2. The ticket splitting assembly 2 has a ticket splitting portion 21 for winding the lottery ticket 10. The second component has a second lottery ticket 10 conveying channel for conveying the lottery ticket 10 from the ticket splitting assembly 2. The first lottery ticket 10 conveying channel, the ticket splitting portion 21, and the second lottery ticket 10 conveying channel are sequentially arranged to form a conveying route for conveying the lottery ticket 10. The conveying route is bent at the ticket splitting portion 21, and the lottery ticket 10 is wound around the ticket splitting portion 21. Due to the change in its movement direction, the tension between the adhered lottery tickets 10 can be increased, thereby unfolding the adhered lottery tickets 10, thereby achieving the ticket splitting effect.

[0133] The above lottery ticket issuing mechanism mainly involves the improvement of the mutual coordination between the ticket separating component 2 and the adhesion detection component 4. Based on the above lottery ticket issuing mechanism, the present application also provides a lottery ticket 10 vending machine, which includes the above lottery ticket issuing mechanism, and effectively prevents the lottery ticket 10 vending machine from outputting adhesion tickets.

[0134] Based on the above lottery ticket issuing mechanism, the present application also discloses a lottery ticket issuing method, which includes:

[0135] The ticket separation component 2 is used to separate the stuck tickets of the lottery ticket 10; during the process of issuing the lottery ticket 10, the lottery ticket 10 is first separated by the ticket separation component 2. This step is very important because it can prevent or at least reduce the sticking of the lottery tickets 10. The specific separation method of the ticket separation component 2 can refer to the aforementioned lottery ticket bin 1 and lottery ticket separation mechanism.

[0136] The adhesion detection component 4 is used to detect whether the lottery ticket 10 after separation is adhered; if the adhesion detection component 4 detects that the lottery ticket 10 is not adhered, the ticket dispensing component 5 is used to output the unadhered lottery ticket 10; if the adhesion detection component 4 detects that the lottery ticket 10 is adhered, an alarm is issued, and the lottery ticket dispensing mechanism stops dispensing. After being processed by the ticket separation component 2, the lottery ticket 10 enters the adhesion detection component 4 to detect in real time whether the separated lottery ticket 10 is adhered. If the adhesion detection component 4 detects that the lottery ticket 10 is not adhered, the subsequent operation is performed normally, that is, the unadhered lottery ticket 10 is output by the ticket dispensing component 5. If the sensor detects that there is adhesion between the lottery tickets 10, for example, the measured thickness exceeds the preset value, the control system will immediately trigger the alarm mechanism and send an abnormal notification to the on-site sales staff and the sales management system; at the same time, the lottery ticket dispensing mechanism will stop working to prevent the adhered lottery ticket 10 from being mistakenly output to the user.

[0137] In some embodiments of the present application, the lottery ticket issuing method further includes, if the sticking detection component 4 detects that the lottery ticket 10 is stuck, then handing over the user order to other lottery ticket issuing institutions for processing.

[0138] When the adhesion detection component 4 detects that the lottery ticket 10 is adhered, the control system of the current lottery ticket issuing agency will immediately mark the order as abnormal and suspend the processing of the order. At the same time, the control system will query the list of other available lottery ticket issuing agencies, which may be different lottery ticket issuing agencies in the same device, or other idle devices in the same place. Once a new lottery ticket issuing agency is selected, the control system of the current agency will transmit the order information, such as including the type, quantity, user information, etc. of the lottery ticket 10, to the agency safely. During the order transfer process, the system will send a notification to the user or the on-site lottery ticket 10 vending machine will display a notification to inform that the order has been transferred to another lottery ticket issuing agency for processing. After receiving the transferred order, the user can reach the new lottery ticket issuing agency, which will re-execute the ticket issuing process, starting from the ticket splitting component 2, passing through the adhesion detection component 4, until the lottery ticket 10 is finally output. The lottery ticket issuing method of this embodiment can more intelligently process user orders when the lottery ticket 10 is detected to be adhered, ensuring the stability of the system and the continuity of user services.

[0139] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
