Detailed embodiments

[0018] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the specific embodiments of the present utility model and the corresponding accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] The following will detail the technical solutions provided by each embodiment of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Refer to Figures 1 - 5, an embodiment of the present utility model provides an automatic lottery vending machine with the function of recycling lottery waste tickets, including a vending machine 1 and a lottery outlet 11 provided on the vending machine 1, and further including a scratching table 2 provided on the vending machine 1, the scratching table 2 being located below the lottery outlet 11; a placement chamber is provided inside the scratching table 2, and one side for scratching is provided in an open manner and attached to the side wall of the vending machine 1, the top panel 3 of the scratching table 2 is rotatably provided on the scratching table 2, and the side of the panel rotatably mounted on the scratching table 2 close to the vending machine 1 can be inclined towards the inside of the scratching table 2; two sets of elastic limiting members 4 are provided inside the scratching table 2, and the tops of the two sets of elastic limiting members 4 are connected to the bottom end of the top panel 3 on the side close to the vending machine 1, and through the elastic limiting members 4, the top panel 3 can be reset after being pressed and inclined by an external force; an ink residue placement member 5 is further provided inside the scratching table 2, and the ink residue placement member 5 is attached to the side wall of the vending machine 1.

[0021] In this application, a scratching table 2 is designed to be installed on the lottery vending machine 1 to recycle the lottery waste tickets after scratching. In actual use, the scratching table 2 can assist the purchaser to scratch the lottery after purchasing the lottery on the vending machine 1. The purchaser will place the purchased lottery on the scratching table 2, and then one hand will press on the scratching table 2 to hold the lottery to prevent it from shifting during scratching, and the other hand will grab an auxiliary tool to scratch the scratching area on the lottery. The purchaser will use a certain amount of force when scratching the lottery, which will cause the top panel 3 on the scratching table 2 to tilt. When the top panel 3 tilts, there will be a gap between it and the side wall of the vending machine 1. The tilted top panel 3 will also cause the lottery placed above it to tilt slightly. The slightly tilted lottery will be more convenient for the purchaser to perform the scratching operation;

[0022] After the scratching is completed, if the lottery ticket wins, the purchaser will take the lottery ticket away. If the lottery ticket does not win, it will become a void lottery ticket. At this time, the purchaser can push the void lottery ticket downward along the inclined cotton of the top panel 3. The void lottery ticket will fall into the scratching table 2 through the gap generated between the top panel 3 and the vending machine 1. And the ink chips generated by scratching on the top panel 3 may also slide down along the inclined surface of the top panel 3 and the assistance of the sliding of the void lottery ticket into the scratching table 2. When the void lottery ticket enters the scratching table 2, it will fall downward. At this time, the void lottery ticket generally contacts the ink chip placement member 5 first, but the void lottery ticket cannot fall into the ink chip placement member 5. So the void lottery ticket will slide off the ink chip placement member 5 to the bottom of the scratching table 2. And the ink chips falling into the scratching table 2 through the gap will fall into its interior when passing through the ink chip placement member 5. In this way, the ink chips and the void lottery tickets will be separated. By this means, the problem in the prior art that after the scratching table 2 is used for a long time, a large amount of void lottery tickets and ink chips will accumulate on its surface and around the vending machine 1 is solved. These void lottery tickets and ink chips will not only pollute the environment, but also affect the desire of the lottery purchasers to buy lottery tickets from the vending machine 1.

[0023] Preferably, the top panel 3 is composed of a fixed rod 31 and a placement plate 32. The fixed rod 31 is arranged on one side of the scratching table 2. One end of the placement plate 32 is rotatably installed on the fixed rod 31. The other end of the placement plate 32 is located at the side wall of the vending machine 1 and there is no contact state between them.

[0024] The placement plate 32 is used for lottery purchasers to place the lottery tickets on it for scratching operations. Rotatably installing the placement plate 32 on the scratching table 2 can make it tilt at a certain angle under the restriction of the two groups of elastic limit members 4.

[0025] Preferably, each group of elastic limit members 4 includes a fixed plate 41, a sliding connecting rod 42, a cushion plate 43 and a spring 44. The fixed plate 41 is arranged on the side wall of one side inside the scratching table 2. The sliding connecting rod 42 is slidably installed on the fixed plate 41. The cushion plate 43 is arranged at the bottom end of the sliding connecting rod 42 and the cushion plate 43 is located below the fixed plate 41. The top end of the sliding connecting rod 42 is connected to the bottom surface of the placement plate 32. The spring 44 is arranged around the sliding connecting rod 42 between the bottom surface of the placement plate 32 and the top surface of the fixed plate 41.

[0026] In this application, every time the placement plate 32 is pressed and tilted, it will drive the sliding connecting rod 42 to slide downward on the fixed plate 41, and at the same time, it will also squeeze the spring 44. In this way, a restriction can be imposed on the placement plate 32, so that the maximum degree of its tilt is limited by the maximum value that the spring 44 can be squeezed. After the pressing force on the placement plate 32 disappears, the spring 44 can generate a restoring force to reset the placement plate 32.

[0027] Preferably, the ink residue placing member 5 includes a placing box 51 and a filter screen 52. The placing box 51 is installed on the side wall of the vending machine 1 and is located inside the lottery scratching platform 2, and the placing box 51 is located below the gap formed between the placing plate 32 and the side wall of the vending machine 1. The top end of the placing box 51 is provided with an opening, and the opening at the top end of the placing box 51 is arranged in an inclined plane. The filter screen 52 is installed at the opening provided at the top end of the placing box 51, and the filter screen 52 has the same shape as the opening of the placing box 51.

[0028] In this application, the placing box 51 is mainly used for placing ink residues. When lottery waste tickets and ink residues simultaneously fall into the lottery scratching platform 2 through the gap between the placing plate 32 and the vending machine 1, both of them will pass through the filter screen 52 installed at the top end of the placing box 51. Since the lottery waste tickets are too large in volume to pass through the filter screen 52 and enter the placing box 51, the lottery waste tickets will slide down along the inclined filter screen 52 into the lottery scratching platform 2, while the ink residues will pass through the holes of the filter screen 52 and enter the placing box 51.

[0029] The above are only the embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and changes can be made to the present utility model. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
