DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0024] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0025] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a buffer device for a ticket outlet of an automatic ticket vending machine comprises a ticket vending machine 1, a slot 2 is provided at one side of the front end of the ticket vending machine 1, a ticket outlet mechanism 3 is provided at the end wall of the inner cavity of the slot 2, a connecting seat 4 is fixedly embedded in the inner cavity of the slot 2, the ticket outlet of the ticket outlet mechanism 3 penetrates into the connecting seat 4, a sliding buffer mechanism 5 is rotatably installed at the middle of the inner cavity of the connecting seat 4, a blowing mechanism 6 is installed at the upper part of the back end of the inner cavity of the connecting seat 4, and a linkage component 7 is linked between the sliding buffer mechanism 5 and the blowing mechanism 6;

[0026] In actual use of this solution, after the ticket dispensing mechanism 3 dispenses a ticket, the ticket falls steadily on the sliding buffer mechanism 5, and then the user extends one hand into the inner cavity of the connecting seat 4, and presses the sliding buffer mechanism 5 with the back of the user's hand downward. After the sliding buffer mechanism 5 is tilted, the ticket automatically falls into the palm of the material picker. When the sliding buffer mechanism 5 is pressed, the sliding buffer mechanism 5 changes the wind direction of the blowing mechanism 6 through the linkage component 7, so that it blows the ticket on the sliding buffer mechanism 5, avoiding the phenomenon that the ticket is hidden in the connecting seat 4 and is missed. By setting a protective box 8, it is avoided that when the blowing mechanism 6 blows the ticket on the sliding buffer mechanism 5, the ticket floats out of the hand of the ticket picker.

[0027] Specifically, the sliding buffer mechanism 5 includes two limit bars 51, two movable grooves 52, a hinge block 55 and a movable block 57. The two limit bars 51 are symmetrically installed in the middle of both sides of the inner cavity of the connecting seat 4, the two movable grooves 52 are symmetrically opened on the lower side of the inner cavity end wall of the connecting seat 4, and the hinge block 55 is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner cavity end wall of the connecting seat 4.

[0028] The movable block 57 is provided with a hinge groove 571 hinged to the hinge block 55 at one end thereof, a through rotation groove 575 is provided in the middle of the top of the movable block 57, a plurality of rotation shafts 573 are equidistantly installed on both sides of the inner cavity of the rotation groove 575 along the length direction thereof, two limiting bars 574 are fixedly installed on the lower sides of both ends of the movable block 57 along the length direction thereof, the top ends of the two limiting bars 574 are respectively limited by the bottom ends of the two limiting bars 1 51, two side guard plates 572 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the movable block 57 along the length direction thereof, and the height of the ticket outlet of the ticket dispensing mechanism 3 is greater than the height of the top end of the movable block 57;

[0029] Two metal shrapnel 53 are respectively placed in the inner cavities of the two movable slots 52. The bottom ends of the two metal shrapnel 53 are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the connecting seat 4, the top ends of the two metal shrapnel 53 are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom end of the movable block 57, and the tails of the two metal shrapnel 53 respectively extend backward through the two movable slots 52;

[0030] When the ticket-taking person takes a ticket, he / she puts his / her hand into the inner cavity of the connecting seat 4, and presses the front end of the movable block 57 downward with the back of the hand. In this way, the movable block 57 rotates downward with the hinge block 55 as the axis, and the ticket that falls on the movable block 57 slides out along the slope of the movable block 57 and into the palm of the ticket-taking person;

[0031] If the ticket-taking person prints multiple tickets, by setting a plurality of rotating shafts 573 rotatably installed at equal intervals on the movable block 57, the efficiency of sliding out multiple tickets can be accelerated;

[0032] When the ticket-taking is completed, the tension of the two metal shrapnel 53 at the bottom end of the movable block 57 will push the movable block 57 to reset. When the movable block 57 is pushed by the tension of the two metal shrapnel 53, the two limiting strips one 51 block the two limiting strips two 574 on both sides of the bottom end of the movable block 57, so that the movable block 57 always maintains a horizontal state and will not tilt unnecessarily.

[0033] Specifically, the blowing mechanism 6 includes a bellows 61 and two through slots 67. The two through slots 67 are respectively opened on both sides of the upper part of the back end of the connecting seat 4. The back end of the bellows 61 respectively extends backward through the two through slots 67. Two air inlet slots 621 communicating with the inner cavity of the bellows 61 are respectively opened on the two end faces of the bellows 61 through the two through slots 67, and two fans 62 are respectively installed on the inner cavity surfaces of the two air inlet slots 621 by screwing;

[0034] An air outlet 63 communicating with its inner cavity is opened on the upper side of the front end of the bellows 61. Two fixing rings one 64 are respectively installed on both sides of the front part of the top end of the bellows 61. A connecting rod 65 is rotatably installed between the two fixing rings one 64, and a wind guiding piece 66 is fixedly installed on the front side of the outer surface of the connecting rod 65;

[0035] Start the two fans 62. The two fans 62 suck air into the inner cavity of the bellows 61 and blow it out from the air outlet 63. The wind direction of the air blown out from the air outlet 63 is changed by the wind guiding piece 66 rotatably installed on the bellows 61, so that it can blow the ticket on the movable block 57 outward.

[0036] Specifically, the linkage component 7 includes two sliding grooves 71 and two second fixing rings 74. The two sliding grooves 71 are respectively formed at the rear sides of the opposite surfaces of the two side guard plates 572. Two sliders 72 are respectively and slidably installed in the inner cavities of the two sliding grooves 71. The two second fixing rings 74 are respectively and fixedly installed on both sides of the front end bottom of the air guiding piece 66. Two pull rods 73 are respectively rotatably installed on the end faces of the two second fixing rings 74 away from each other. The end faces of the two pull rods 73 away from the two second fixing rings 74 are respectively rotatably connected to the two sliders 72.

[0037] When pressing down the movable block 57, the movable block 57 pulls the two pull rods 73 slidably installed on the two side guard plates 572. The other ends of the two pull rods 73 are rotatably connected to the two second fixing rings 74 at the front side of the bottom end of the first fixing ring 64. In this way, when the movable block 57 moves downward, the air guiding piece 66 is pulled to rotate downward together through the two pull rods 73. Thus, the wind blown out from the air outlet 63 is deflected onto the top surface of the movable block 57, so that it can blow the bills on the movable block 57.

[0038] Further, a protective box 8 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the front end of the connecting seat 4. The front side of the inner cavity of the protective box 8 is arc-shaped, and a soft rubber pad 81 is glued and installed on the inner surface of the inner cavity of the protective box 8.

[0039] By providing the protective box 8, it is avoided that when the blowing mechanism 6 blows the bills on the sliding buffer mechanism 5, the bills float outwards from the hands of the ticket-taking personnel. The soft rubber pad 81 glued and installed in the inner cavity of the protective box 8 avoids the phenomenon that the bills collide with the inner surface of the inner cavity of the protective box 8 and cause damage to the corners of the bills.

[0040] It should be particularly noted that the specific installation method, the connection method of the circuit and the control method of the two fans 62 adopted in the present invention are all conventional designs, and the present invention will not be elaborated in detail.

[0041] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and the descriptions in the specification only illustrate the principles of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present invention claimed. The scope of protection claimed by the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
