[0020] In order to more clearly understand the technical means of the present utility model and be able to implement it according to the content of the specification, the following further describes in detail the specific implementation manners of the present utility model in combination with the drawings and embodiments. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present utility model, but are not used to limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0021] See the attached Figures 1-4 As shown, the scanner module of the ticket vending machine in the first embodiment includes a scanner channel 1; a scanner main body 2 detachably disposed inside the scanner channel 1.

[0022] The scanner main body 2 is installed inside the scanner channel 1, and the scanning part of the scanner main body 2 faces downward. When a ticket purchaser places the two-dimensional code inside the scanner channel 1, it can be scanned by the scanner main body 2.

[0023] A sliding assembly for limiting the sliding of the scanner main body 2 is disposed on one inner wall of the scanner channel 1; the sliding assembly includes: a slideway 21 vertically disposed on the inner wall of the scanner channel 1; a slider 22 disposed on the scanner main body 2 and slidably connected to the slideway 21.

[0024] The slider 22 on the scanner main body 2 can enter the inside of the slideway 21, thereby limiting the movement of the scanner main body 2 and keeping it in a stable state when moving vertically.

[0025] A limiting assembly for fixing the scanner main body 2 is disposed on the other inner wall of the scanner channel 1; the limiting assembly includes: a limiting seat 23 fixed to the inner wall of the scanner channel 1; a connecting plate 24 capable of reciprocating movement disposed inside the limiting seat 23; a plurality of first abutting blocks 25 vertically distributed and fixed to the connecting plate 24; and a second abutting block 26 disposed on one side of the scanner main body 2 and cooperating with the first abutting blocks 25.

[0026] When the scanner main body 2 slowly rises through the sliding assembly, the movement of the connecting plate 24 is used to make the first abutting blocks 25 away from the second abutting blocks 26. When the scanner main body 2 moves to the designated position, the first abutting blocks 25 are brought into contact with the second abutting blocks 26, so that the scanner main body 2 is supported by the first abutting blocks 25 and the second abutting blocks 26, thereby realizing the limitation of the scanner main body 2. On the contrary, the first abutting blocks 25 are separated from the second abutting blocks 26, so that the scanner main body 2 can be disassembled, that is, the quick disassembly of the scanner main body 2 can be realized, making its installation convenient and disassembly fast, without disassembling the ticket vending machine, and improving the practicability.

[0027] Further, both the first abutting blocks 25 and the second abutting blocks 26 are triangularly arranged, the top of the first abutting blocks 25 is horizontally arranged, and the bottom of the second abutting blocks 26 is horizontally arranged.

[0028] With a triangular arrangement, when the second abutting block 26 rises and contacts the first abutting block 25, the first abutting block 25 will be squeezed. Due to the squeezing force, the first abutting block 25 will move, enabling the second abutting block 26 to rise smoothly. When the first abutting block 25 resets, the horizontal plane of the first abutting block 25 will contact the horizontal plane of the second abutting block 26, so that the second abutting block 26 is supported by the first abutting block 25.

[0029] Furthermore, a reset spring 27 fixedly connected to the scanner channel 1 is provided on the connecting plate 24. Through the reset spring 27, the first abutting block 25 can be automatically reset, and the first abutting block 25 quickly resets after the squeezing force disappears.

[0030] Furthermore, several groups of reset springs 27 are provided, and the several reset springs 27 are vertically spaced apart.

[0031] The several groups of reset springs 27 arranged at intervals can provide a certain tactile feedback during the rising process of the scanner main body 2.

[0032] Furthermore, several limiting grooves 28 are formed on the limiting seat 23, and a limiting block 29 slidably connected to the limiting grooves 28 is fixed on the connecting plate 24.

[0033] When the connecting plate 24 moves, the limiting block 29 can move in the limiting grooves 28, thereby increasing the stability of the connecting plate 24 and making its movement smooth.

[0034] Furthermore, a handle 3 extending to the outside of the scanner channel 1 is provided on the connecting plate 24, and the handle 3 penetrates the scanner channel 1.

[0035] When the handle 3 is pulled, it can drive the connecting plate 24 to move, so that the first abutting block 25 is separated from the second abutting block 26, and thus the scanner main body 2 can be disassembled.

[0036] Furthermore, a positioning plate 11 and a fixing plate 12 for fixing to the automatic ticket vending machine housing are provided on the scanner channel 1, and a code scanning window 13 is formed on the outer wall of the scanner channel 1 and below the scanner main body 2.

[0037] The positioning plate 11 and the fixing plate 12 can mount the scanner channel 1 on the automatic ticket vending machine. The ticket purchaser can place the two-dimensional code inside the scanner channel 1 through the code scanning window 13, and then use the scanner main body 2 to scan the code to issue a ticket.

[0038] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art in this technical field, without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, several improvements and modifications can be made, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
