[0001] This application relates to the field of ticket vending device technology, and in particular to a reciprocating vending mechanism and a ticket vending machine. Background Technology

[0002] The card-type single-journey ticket vending machine is used in ticket vending machines in subway and related systems, and its function is to realize the function of issuing subway card tickets.

[0003] The existing card-type single-journey ticket issuing module uses a friction wheel card issuing design, which has problems such as unstable card issuing, card and ticket skew, and missed or double issuance due to friction reduction. Especially in extremely low temperature environments, the friction wheel will harden, become brittle and shrink, causing card issuing failure. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application mainly provides a reciprocating ticket issuing mechanism and a ticket vending machine to solve the problem of insufficient reliability in the current card issuing mechanism.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application adopts a technical solution as follows: providing a reciprocating vending machine mechanism. The reciprocating vending machine mechanism includes: a card issuing trolley mechanism, including a trolley component and a pressing component movably disposed on the trolley component; a cam plate assembly, including a cam plate, the cam plate having a first guide surface and a second guide surface disposed opposite to each other; wherein, the trolley component is used to drive the pressing component to reciprocate through a card issuing stroke and a reset stroke; during the card issuing stroke, the pressing component cooperates with the first guide surface to apply a pressing force to the card, thereby carrying the card forward; during the reset stroke, the pressing component cooperates with the second guide surface to disengage from contact with the card.

[0006] In some embodiments, the pressing assembly includes a pressing member, a pressing roller, and a friction block. The pressing member is movably disposed on the trolley member, the pressing roller is disposed at the top end of the pressing member, and the friction block is disposed at the bottom end of the pressing member. During the card issuing stroke, the pressure roller makes rolling contact with the first guide surface, and during the reset stroke, the pressure roller makes rolling contact with the second guide surface; the friction block is used to apply pressure to the card.

[0007] In some embodiments, the cam plate assembly further includes a first tension spring, one end of the cam plate is configured as a rotating end, and the other end of the cam plate is configured as a swinging end and connected to the first tension spring; The pressing assembly further includes a compression spring, which is sleeved on the pressing member and elastically compressed between the pusher and the friction block; During the card issuing stroke, the first tension spring continuously applies tension to the cam plate, and the cam plate, in conjunction with the compression spring, causes the friction block to apply a continuous and uniform holding force to the card.

[0008] In some embodiments, the cam plate assembly further includes a stop member disposed near the free end of the cam plate for supporting the cam plate; During the reset stroke, the free end of the cam plate is supported on the stop member, so that the friction block disengages from the contact ticket under the cooperation of the second guide surface and the pressure roller.

[0009] In some embodiments, the card issuing trolley assembly further includes a cleaning component disposed on the trolley component, the cleaning component reciprocating with the trolley component to reciprocate cleaning the surface of the next card to be issued.

[0010] In some embodiments, the trolley component includes a trolley base, a guide rail, and two sets of trolley roller assemblies. The two sets of trolley roller assemblies are rotatably disposed on the trolley base and located on both sides of the pressing assembly. The pressing assembly is movably disposed on the trolley base. Both sets of trolley roller assemblies cooperate with the guide rail to limit the trolley base to reciprocate linear motion along the guide rail.

[0011] In some embodiments, the trolley roller assembly includes a roller shaft, a trolley rotating component, and a ticket pressing rotating component. The roller shaft is rotatably mounted on the trolley base. A set of the trolley rotating component and the ticket pressing rotating component are installed at both ends of the roller shaft. The trolley rotating component cooperates with the guide rail, and the ticket pressing rotating component is used to make rolling contact with the surface of the ticket.

[0012] In some embodiments, the reciprocating vending machine further includes a sensing mechanism, which sends a signal when it senses that a ticket to be issued is in the ticket-issuing position, so as to control the card-issuing trolley mechanism to perform one card-issuing stroke and one reset stroke.

[0013] In some embodiments, the sensing mechanism includes a sensing lever, a second tension spring, and a lever trigger. One end of the sensing lever is configured as a rotating end, and the other end of the sensing lever is configured as a swinging end. The second tension spring is connected to the sensing lever and is used to provide a continuous tension to the sensing lever so that the swinging end does not trigger the lever trigger when no ticket is detected to be in the ticket-issuing position. The sensing lever is used to swing when the ticket is pushed by the ticket when it enters the ticketing position, so that the swinging end of the sensing lever triggers the lever trigger.

[0014] To solve the aforementioned technical problems, another technical solution adopted in this application is to provide a ticket vending machine. The ticket vending machine includes the reciprocating ticketing mechanism described above.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: Unlike existing technologies, this application discloses a reciprocating ticket vending mechanism and a ticket vending machine. Through the coordinated operation of the cam plate assembly and the holding assembly, a stable holding force can be applied to the ticket during the card issuance stroke by utilizing the cooperation between the first guide surface and the holding assembly, avoiding the problems of missed issuance and double issuance caused by frictional attenuation in traditional friction wheel designs; during the reset stroke, the holding assembly automatically disengages from the ticket through the second guide surface, preventing secondary interference to the ticket during the reset process and improving card issuance stability; the mechanical structure transmission of the cam plate assembly and the holding assembly replaces the contact of the friction wheel, effectively solving the problem of card issuance failure caused by the hardening and brittleness of the friction wheel in low-temperature environments, and enhancing adaptability to extreme environments; the overall reciprocating motion design combined with precise guidance significantly reduces the risk of ticket skew, comprehensively improving the reliability and environmental adaptability of ticket issuance.

[0020] This application provides a reciprocating release mechanism 100, in conjunction with [reference] Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of one embodiment of the reciprocating vending mechanism provided in this application. Figure 2 Is it like this? Figure 1 The diagram shown illustrates the structure of the reciprocating release mechanism after removing part of the support frame. Figure 3 Is it like this? Figure 1 The diagram shows the working structure of the card issuing trolley mechanism and the cam plate assembly in the reciprocating card issuing mechanism.

[0021] The reciprocating card issuing mechanism 100 includes a card issuing trolley mechanism 10 and a cam plate assembly 20. The card issuing trolley mechanism 10 includes a trolley component 12 and a pressing component 14 movably disposed on the trolley component 12. The cam plate assembly 20 includes a cam plate 21, which has a first guide surface 211 and a second guide surface 212 disposed opposite to each other. The trolley component 12 drives the pressing component 14 to reciprocate through the card issuing stroke and the reset stroke. During the card issuing stroke, the pressing component 14 cooperates with the first guide surface 211 to apply a pressing force to the card, thereby carrying the card forward. During the reset stroke, the pressing component 14 cooperates with the second guide surface 212 to disengage from the card.

[0022] Specifically, the card issuing trolley mechanism 10 is the core execution component. Its trolley component 12 can achieve linear reciprocating motion under the guidance of the guide rail, and the pressing component 14 can move up and down along the trolley component 12 to contact or detach from the card. The cam plate assembly 20 provides power and guidance for the pressing action. The first guide surface 211 and the second guide surface 212 of the cam plate 21 correspond to the pressing logic of the card issuing and resetting strokes, respectively: The first guide surface 211 is designed as an inclined pressing structure. When the trolley component 12 performs the card issuing stroke, the pressing component 14 moves forward with the trolley component 12. At the same time, the pressing component 14 is guided and cooperated with the first guide surface 211, forcing the pressing component 14 to move downward and apply a stable pressing force to the card. The card moves forward synchronously through friction. The second guide surface 212 is a reverse inclined lifting structure. When the trolley component 12 performs the resetting stroke, the pressing component 14 retracts with the trolley component 12. The pressing component 14 switches to guide and cooperate with the second guide surface 212, forcing the pressing component 14 to lift upward and disengage from the card during the return stroke, avoiding interference with the issued card during the resetting process.

[0023] The trolley component 12 is driven to reciprocate, and can cyclically execute the card issuing stroke and the reset stroke. In this embodiment, the card issuing trolley mechanism 10 also includes a driving component 16 for driving the trolley component 12. The driving component 16 can be a reciprocating electromagnet. The moving part of the reciprocating electromagnet is rigidly connected to the trolley component 12 through a connecting rod or a connecting plate. The reciprocating electromagnet periodically attracts and releases through electromagnetic force, causing the moving part inside to reciprocate, thereby driving the trolley component 12 to reciprocate as well, so as to achieve a precise and controllable card issuing rhythm. The driving component 16 may also include a servo motor and a belt drive mechanism. The servo motor is connected to the trolley component 12 through the belt drive mechanism. The servo motor can drive the synchronous belt to rotate forward and backward through the pulley, thereby driving the trolley component 12 to execute the card issuing stroke and the reset stroke.

[0024] Understandably, the reciprocating vending machine 100 needs to issue cards only when the ticketing conditions are met. In the ticketing scenario, after the passenger completes payment and triggers the card issuance instruction, the reciprocating vending machine 100 begins to execute the card issuance action.

[0025] In this embodiment, before the ticketing conditions are met, the card to be issued is not transported to the ticketing position; when the ticketing conditions are met, the card to be issued is transported to the ticketing position, and the reciprocating ticketing mechanism 100 detects that the card to be issued has been transported to the ticketing position, and then starts to execute the card issuing action.

[0026] Continue reading Figure 1 and Figure 2 The reciprocating ticket issuing mechanism 100 also includes a sensing mechanism 30, which sends a signal when it senses that the ticket to be issued is in the ticket-issuing position, so as to control the card issuing trolley mechanism 10 to perform one card issuing stroke and one reset stroke.

[0027] The sensing mechanism 30 can be a photoelectric sensor, a micro switch, or a Hall element, etc., to monitor the card and ticket position in real time. When the sensing mechanism 30 confirms that the card and ticket to be sold is accurately in place, it immediately sends a trigger signal, and the driving component 16 then starts the card issuing process.

[0028] The sensor 30 is linked with the card issuing trolley mechanism 10 to ensure that the card issuing action and the card / ticket arrival status are strictly synchronized, avoiding empty travel or accidental triggering, which can further improve the reliability of card / ticket issuance and reduce the misissuance rate.

[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the sensing mechanism 30 includes a sensing lever 31, a second tension spring 32, and a lever trigger 33. One end of the sensing lever 31 is configured as a rotating end, and the other end is configured as a swinging end. The second tension spring 32 is connected to the sensing lever 31 and is used to provide a continuous pulling force to the sensing lever 31 so that the swinging end does not trigger the lever trigger 33 when no card is detected in the waiting position. The sensing lever 31 is used to swing when the card enters the waiting position and is pushed by the card, so that the swinging end of the sensing lever 31 triggers the lever trigger 33. Once the current card is pushed out of the waiting position, the support of the current card on the sensing lever 31 disappears, and the second tension spring 32 immediately pulls the sensing lever 31 to reset. The swinging end of the sensing lever 31 disengages from the lever trigger 33, thereby cutting off the card issuing command signal. At the same time, the card waiting to be issued has been issued.

[0030] Specifically, the bracket 102 of the reciprocating vending mechanism 100 is provided with a support shaft. The rotating end of the sensing lever 31 is rotatably connected to the support shaft, allowing the sensing lever 31 to swing around the support shaft. The rotating end of the sensing lever 31 is also provided with a downward support leg 311, which is inclined and whose end is used to support the card below. When the card below has not entered the ticket dispensing position, the end of the support leg 311 supports the card below, and the swinging end of the sensing lever 31 is in the state of being disengaged from the lever trigger 33. When the card below enters the ticket dispensing position, the support leg 311 is pushed and swings upward, thereby driving the sensing lever 31 to swing upward around the support shaft, and the swinging end triggers the lever trigger 33. After the card is pushed away, the support leg 311 loses support and quickly resets under the action of the second tension spring 32. The swinging end of the sensing lever 31 disengages from the lever trigger 33, and the support leg 311 is supported again on the new card below.

[0031] Therefore, the sensing mechanism 30 is linked with the card issuing mechanism 10 of the trolley to realize a closed-loop feedback mechanism that triggers when the card is in place and resets when it leaves the position. This mechanism significantly improves the response accuracy and action timing consistency of the duplex issuing mechanism 100, providing a solid guarantee for the operational stability of card issuing.

[0032] See also Figures 2 to 4 ,in Figure 4 Is it like this? Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the card-issuing trolley mechanism in the reciprocating card-issuing mechanism.

[0033] In this embodiment, the trolley component 12 includes a trolley base 121, a guide rail 122, and two sets of trolley roller assemblies 123. The two sets of trolley roller assemblies 123 are rotatably disposed on the trolley base 121 and located on both sides of the pressing assembly 14. The pressing assembly 14 is movably disposed on the trolley base 121. Both sets of trolley roller assemblies 123 cooperate with the guide rail 122 to limit the trolley base 121 to reciprocate linear motion along the guide rail 122.

[0034] The reciprocating release mechanism 100 also includes a base 101, on which a bracket 102 is connected. The trolley roller assembly 123 is also supported on the surface of the base 101. The trolley roller assembly 123 is driven to move along the base. The guide rail 122 is set above the base 101 and cooperates with the traveling wheel of the trolley roller assembly 123 to limit the reciprocating linear movement of the trolley base 121 along the guide rail 122. At the same time, it also limits the trolley base 121 from jumping or other abnormal situations, thereby ensuring that the movement of the trolley base 121 on the guide rail 122 is smooth and the guidance is accurate.

[0035] The holding assembly 14 is positioned opposite to the center of the trolley base 121, and the two sets of trolley roller assemblies 123 can be arranged symmetrically about the holding assembly 14 to balance the mass distribution of the trolley component 12 and improve the movement stability of the trolley component 12.

[0036] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 5 Is it like this? Figure 4 The diagram shows the structure of the card issuing trolley mechanism after the guide rails have been removed.

[0037] In this embodiment, the trolley roller assembly 123 includes a roller shaft 124, a trolley rotating component 125, and a ticket pressing rotating component 126. The roller shaft 124 is rotatably mounted on the trolley base 121. A set of trolley rotating components 125 and ticket pressing rotating components 126 are installed at both ends of the roller shaft 124. The trolley rotating component 125 cooperates with the guide rail 122, and the ticket pressing rotating component 126 is used to make rolling contact with the surface of the ticket.

[0038] The trolley rotating parts 125 at both ends of each roller shaft 124 are supported on the base 101 and are matched with the corresponding guide rail 122 to ensure that the reciprocating motion of the trolley base 121 along the guide rail 122 is both smooth and precise; wherein, the trolley rotating part 125 can be a roller or a sliding bearing.

[0039] The ticket pressing rotating component 126 can be a roller or a bearing. When it moves on the surface of the ticket, it can apply appropriate pressure to the ticket to prevent the ticket from shifting or tilting during movement. At the same time, it can reduce the frictional resistance between itself and the ticket through rolling contact, ensuring continuous and stable ticket delivery, and further improving the reliability and stability of ticket issuance.

[0040] See Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 ,in Figure 6 Is it like this? Figure 5 The diagram shows a side view of the card-dispensing trolley mechanism.

[0041] In this embodiment, the pressing assembly 14 includes a pressing member 141, a pressing roller 142, and a friction block 143. The pressing member 141 is movably disposed on the trolley member 12, the pressing roller 142 is disposed at the top end of the pressing member 141, and the friction block 143 is disposed at the bottom end of the pressing member 141. During the card issuing stroke, the pressing roller 142 rolls in contact with the first guide surface 211, and during the reset stroke, the pressing roller 142 rolls in contact with the second guide surface 212. The friction block 143 is used to apply a pressing force to the card.

[0042] Specifically, the trolley base 121 is equipped with a linear bearing, and the holding member 141 passes through the linear bearing and can slide along its axial direction; the pressure roller 142 can be a bearing component, which is rotatably connected to the top of the holding member 141 to achieve rolling engagement with the first guide surface 211 or the second guide surface 212; the friction block 143 can be made of high elasticity and wear-resistant rubber material to ensure a stable and uniform holding force on the ticket, while also having good wear resistance and quiet performance; when the trolley component 12 reciprocates along the guide rail 122, the holding member 141 rises and falls synchronously under the action of the first guide surface 211 and the second guide surface 212, causing the friction block 143 to contact or detach from the ticket in real time.

[0043] Optionally, the trolley base 121 may be provided with a shaft hole, and the pressing member 141 is coaxially assembled with the shaft hole and can slide along the circumference of the shaft hole; the pressure roller 142 may also be a roller, and the friction block 143 may also be a silicone pad, etc. This application does not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0044] During the card issuing stroke, the pressure roller 142 moves along the first guide surface 211, driving the holding member 141 to move downward, so that the friction block 143 is in close contact with the upper surface of the card and applies a stable holding force to ensure that the card does not slip or curl during high-speed transport; during the reset stroke, the pressure roller 142 moves upward along the second guide surface 212, driving the friction block 143 to smoothly disengage from the card and avoid scratching and backlash.

[0045] In this embodiment, the traditional line contact between the friction wheel and the ticket is changed to surface contact between the friction block 143 and the ticket, which significantly increases the effective pressing area, thereby greatly improving the pressing stability and force distribution uniformity. This makes the contact with the ticket more stable and reliable, eliminating unstable card issuance, frictional attenuation, and card issuance failure caused by the shrinkage of the friction wheel. It can greatly improve the reliability, consistency, and stability of card issuance, especially in continuous high-frequency operation scenarios, where its performance advantages are even more apparent.

[0046] Furthermore, the holding assembly 14 also includes a pressure spring 144, which is sleeved on the holding member 141 and elastically compressed between the pusher member 12 and the friction block 143. The pressure spring 144 provides a preload force to ensure that the friction block 143 maintains effective contact with the card in the initial state. When the pusher member 12 performs the card issuing stroke and the reset stroke, the pressure roller 142 is precisely guided by the first guide surface 211 and the second guide surface 212. At the same time, the preload force provided by the pressure spring 144 drives the holding member 141 to make synchronous fine adjustments, so as to realize the card issuing contact and reset disengagement, and prevent the card from slipping, stacking, or jamming.

[0047] Specifically, the pressure member 141 includes a pressure rod and a pressure plate. The pressure rod is movably mounted on the linear bearing of the trolley base 121. The top end of the pressure rod is connected to the pressure wheel 142, and the bottom end of the pressure rod is connected to the pressure plate. The pressure spring 144 is sleeved on the pressure rod and elastically compressed between the pressure plate and the trolley member 12. The friction block 143 is connected to the pressure plate.

[0048] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cam plate assembly 20 also includes a first tension spring 22. One end of the cam plate 21 is configured as a rotating end, and the other end of the cam plate 21 is configured as a swinging end and connected to the first tension spring 22. During the card issuing stroke, the first tension spring 22 continuously applies tension to the cam plate 21, and then the cam plate 21, in conjunction with the compression spring 144, causes the friction block 143 to apply a continuous and uniform holding force to the card.

[0049] In other words, the cam plate 21 is movable and can automatically adjust its own posture to dynamically respond to the displacement changes of the pusher 12, ensuring that the pressure of the friction block 143 on the card is always in the optimal range at any position of the card issuing stroke, ensuring stable and reliable card issuing; while in the reset stroke, the first tension spring 22 can quickly pull the cam plate 21 back to the initial posture, and with the elastic restoring force of the compression spring 144, the pressure roller 142 can move up quickly along the second guide surface 212, and the friction block 143 simultaneously disengages from the card surface, with a rapid and accurate reset response.

[0050] The reciprocating dispensing mechanism 100 has a rotating shaft on its support 102. The rotating end of the cam plate 21 is rotatedly engaged with the rotating shaft, allowing the cam plate 21 to dynamically swing around the rotating shaft. One end of the first tension spring 22 is connected to the swinging end of the cam plate 21, and the other end is fixed to the support 102 or the base 101. It can continuously apply tension to the cam plate 21, so that it maintains dynamic traction on the cam plate 21 during the dispensing stroke. During the return stroke, the elastic restoring force assists the cam plate 21 to quickly return to its original position, so that the pressure roller 142 corresponds to the second guide surface 212 at the beginning of the return stroke and efficiently forms a guiding engagement with the second guide surface 212.

[0051] The cam plate assembly 20 also includes a stop 23, which is located near the free end of the cam plate 21 and is used to support the cam plate 21. During the reset stroke, the free end of the cam plate 21 is supported on the stop 21 so that the friction block 143 disengages from the contact ticket under the cooperation of the second guide surface 212 and the pressure roller 142.

[0052] During the reset stroke, the stop 21 is used to support the free end of the cam plate 21 to ensure the stability of the cam plate 21. Under the guidance of the pressure roller 142 and the second guide surface 212, the friction block 143 is kept out of contact with the ticket, avoiding reset delay or jamming, and avoiding the risk of ticket jamming due to deviation during reset.

[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the reciprocating vending mechanism 100 also includes a guide roller group 40. The guide roller group 40 is connected to the bracket 102 and is on the card delivery path during the card issuance stroke. The holding component 14 carries the card forward, so that the card passes through the guide roller group 40 in sequence. The guide roller group 40 holds the card and guides the card to move smoothly along the preset trajectory, effectively suppressing the warping, deviation and shaking of the card during the delivery process.

[0054] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, the card issuing trolley assembly 10 also includes a cleaning component 11 disposed on the trolley component 12. The cleaning component 11 moves back and forth with the trolley component 12 to clean the surface of the next card to be issued.

[0055] Specifically, the cleaning component 11 is connected to the trolley base 121. The cleaning component 11 can be connected to the middle or rear of the trolley base 121. The cleaning component 11 moves back and forth synchronously with the trolley component 12, gently wiping the surface of the next ticket to be issued with dust, particles and other debris during each ticket issuance stroke. During the reset stroke, the cleaning component 11 retracts synchronously with the trolley component 12, cleaning the surface of the next ticket to be issued again.

[0056] The cleaning component 11 can be a brush or a soft silicone scraper, etc., which continuously cleans the surface of the next ticket to be issued during the reciprocating motion, which helps to significantly improve the cleanliness of the ticket and the success rate of ticket recognition.

[0057] During the card issuance stroke, the friction block 143 presses and carries the card to be issued simultaneously forward, while the cleaning component 11 moves forward simultaneously with the trolley component 12, completing the first cleaning of the surface of the next card to be issued under the current card; during the reset stroke, the cleaning component 11 slides in the opposite direction across the same card surface to achieve a second cleaning.

[0058] In the ticket issuance scenario, when a ticket to be issued is transported to the issuance position, the sensing mechanism 30 detects the ticket and triggers a card issuance signal. Driven by the driving component 16, the trolley component 12 moves forward along the guide rail 122 to execute the card issuance stroke. At this time, the pressure roller 142 of the pressing component 14 contacts the first guide surface 211 of the cam plate 21. Under the inclined pressure of the first guide surface 211, the friction block 143 of the pressing component 14 presses tightly against the surface of the ticket. Through the linear motion of the trolley component 12, the ticket is stably pushed to the ticket outlet. Simultaneously, the cleaning component 11 completes its cleaning process. The first cleaning of the next card to be issued is performed; when the front end of the card reaches the ticket outlet position, the trolley component 12 begins to perform the reset stroke, the pressure roller 142 disengages from the first guide surface 211 and contacts the second guide surface 212. Under the lifting action of the second guide surface 212, the friction block 143 separates from the card surface, and the trolley component 12 returns to the initial position along the guide rail 122, completing a single card issuance cycle. At the same time, the cleaning component 11 completes the second cleaning of the next card to be issued, and repeats the above process after the next card enters the ticket outlet position.

[0059] In this embodiment, through the coordinated operation of the cam plate assembly 20 and the holding assembly 14, a stable holding force is applied to the ticket during the card issuing stroke by the cooperation of the first guide surface 211 and the holding assembly 14, avoiding the problems of missed or double issuance caused by frictional attenuation in traditional friction wheel designs. During the reset stroke, the holding assembly 14 automatically disengages from the ticket through the second guide surface 212, preventing secondary interference to the ticket during the reset process and improving card issuing stability. The mechanical structure transmission replaces the friction wheel contact, effectively solving the card issuing failure problem caused by the hardening and brittleness of the friction wheel in low-temperature environments, and enhancing adaptability to extreme environments. The overall reciprocating motion design, combined with precise guidance, significantly reduces the risk of ticket skew, comprehensively improving the reliability and environmental adaptability of ticket issuance.

[0060] Based on this, this application also provides a ticket vending machine 200. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the ticket vending machine provided in this application.

[0061] The ticket vending machine 200 includes the reciprocating ticket dispensing mechanism 100 as described above. The ticket vending machine 200 also includes a ticket box 201, on which the reciprocating ticket dispensing mechanism 100 is disposed. The ticket box 201 can lift the tickets one by one to the ticket dispensing position, and the reciprocating ticket dispensing mechanism 100 accurately pushes the tickets in the ticket dispensing position to the ticket dispensing slot to complete the dispensing of a single ticket.

[0062] Through the coordinated operation of the cam plate assembly and the holding assembly, a stable holding force can be applied to the ticket during the card issuance stroke by utilizing the cooperation between the first guide surface and the holding assembly, avoiding the problems of missed issuance and double issuance caused by frictional attenuation in traditional friction wheel designs. During the reset stroke, the second guide surface causes the holding assembly to automatically disengage from the ticket, preventing secondary interference to the ticket during the reset process and improving card issuance stability. The mechanical transmission structure of the cam plate assembly and the holding assembly replaces the contact of the friction wheel, effectively solving the problem of card issuance failure caused by the hardening and brittleness of the friction wheel in low-temperature environments, and enhancing adaptability to extreme environments. The overall reciprocating motion design, combined with precise guidance, significantly reduces the risk of ticket skew, comprehensively improving the reliability and environmental adaptability of ticket issuance.
