Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lottery prize redemption marking devices, in particular to a lottery prize redemption punching device and a lottery machine. Background Art

[0002] Lotteries are a type of lottery where buyers instantly know if they've won and can redeem their prizes. Lotteries offer attractive tickets, instant redemption, a high level of fun, and a high return rate. As a convenient, fast-paced, and timely lottery, they hold great potential for market development.

[0003] Currently, there are two ways to sell and redeem scratch tickets in my country: at designated lottery locations and through self-service lottery machines. Redemption at designated lottery locations is done manually, with winners receiving their winnings in person. Self-service machine redemptions typically involve refunding the winnings via the original method or receiving payment by scanning a QR code. However, there is a vulnerability in self-service machine redemption: if a scratch ticket is redeemed multiple times, the machine will display the ticket as claimed. However, some players may have already claimed their winnings but still see an unsuccessful claim. To prevent this, a mark must be made at the time of redemption—either by cutting a bevel or punching a hole—to indicate that the ticket has been successfully redeemed. Utility Model Content

[0057] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention provides a lottery prize redemption punching device, which includes: a shell 100, a punching component 200 and an identification component 300.

[0058] The housing 100 defines a support surface for supporting the lottery ticket. When the punching assembly 200 punches the lottery ticket, the support surface supports the lottery ticket, so that the lottery ticket punching assembly 200 can complete the punching of the lottery ticket. In this embodiment, referring to Figure 3As shown, the shell 100 is in the shape of a rectangle, and the shell 100 defines a prize redemption slot 110. The prize redemption slot 110 defines a support surface. The prize redemption slot 110 defines a ticket inlet 112 at the first end 111 along the first direction. The prize redemption slot 110 is in the shape of an elongated rectangle, so that when a thin sheet of lottery ticket is inserted into the prize redemption slot 110 from the ticket inlet 112, the flatness of the lottery ticket itself can be ensured, and the lottery ticket is not easily deformed in the prize redemption slot 110. In this embodiment, when the lottery prize redemption punching device is horizontally installed on the side of the lottery machine, the first direction is the horizontal direction; when the lottery prize redemption punching device is vertically installed on the top surface of the lottery machine, the first direction is the vertical direction perpendicular to the ground or the inclined direction at a certain angle to the ground. The first direction is related to the installation position of the lottery prize redemption punching device in the lottery machine, so the specific direction of the first direction is not specifically limited. Reference Figure 2 As shown, the shell 100 is further defined with a ticket checking surface relative to the support surface, and a punching port 120 and an identification port 130 both connected to the prize redemption slot 110. The direction relative to the support surface and the ticket checking surface is a second direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The punching port 120 and the identification port 130 are both arranged on the ticket checking surface. The punching port 120 and the identification port 130 will face the surface on which the information of the lottery is recorded. The punching port 120 is for the punching component 200 to punch the lottery ticket, and the identification port 130 is for the identification component 300 to identify the lottery ticket. In this embodiment, the punching port 120 is provided at the first end 111, and the identification port 130 is provided at the second end 113 relative to the first end 111, that is, the identification port 130 is located at the innermost side of the prize redemption slot 110 along the first direction. Only when the lottery ticket penetrates into the second end 113 of the prize redemption slot 110 along the first direction will the lottery ticket be aligned with the identification port 130. After the lottery ticket is identified by the identification component 300, it will be punched by the punching component 200. The identification position of the lottery ticket is deeper, ensuring that most of the lottery tickets are located within the prize redemption slot 110. When the winner suddenly pulls out the lottery ticket, the time difference of the lottery ticket moving from the second end 113 to the first end 111 can also meet the time required for the punching operation of the punching component 200. The punching component 200 has sufficient time to punch the lottery ticket, so that the punching component 200 can mark each lottery ticket that has been redeemed. As some other embodiments, the punching component 200 and the identification component 300 can also be arranged between the first end 111 and the second end 113. The two can be arranged flush along the first direction, or staggered along the first direction. The identification component 300 and the punching component 200 can also be that the punching component 200 is arranged at the second end 113, and the identification component 300 is arranged at the first end 111.

[0059] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the punching assembly 200 is connected to the housing 100 to be fixed thereto, facilitating assembly with the housing 100 to form a modular whole. The punching assembly 200 includes a punching portion 222 aligned with the punching opening 120. The punching portion 222 can pass through the punching opening 120 and punch a hole in the lottery ticket. Punching the lottery ticket through the punching portion 222 achieves marking of the lottery ticket. The punching portion 222 can punch a complete through hole in the lottery ticket. The hole can be circular, rectangular, triangular, or a combination thereof or other shapes. The punching portion 222 can also cut the edge of the lottery ticket to form a through hole in the edge of the lottery ticket.

[0060] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the identification component 300 is connected to the housing 100 to be fixed thereto, facilitating assembly with the housing 100 to form a modular whole. The identification component 300 is aligned with the identification opening 130 and is used to identify the lottery ticket. It should be noted that each lottery ticket is provided with a separate identification, which is divided into a winning identification and a non-winning identification. The winning identification can be divided into different levels according to the size of the prize, wherein the winning identification is a preset identification. The lottery prize redemption punching device is configured such that when the identification component 300 recognizes the preset identification, the punching portion 222 passes through the punching opening 120 and punches a hole in the lottery ticket. This ensures that each winning lottery ticket is punched, while non-winning lottery tickets do not need to be punched, saving the energy required for punching and punching by the punching component 200 and reducing operating costs. As another embodiment, the preset identification is a winning identification and a non-winning identification. As long as the identification component 300 recognizes the preset identification, the punching component 200 passes through the punching opening 120 and punches a hole in the lottery ticket. The identifier may be a QR code, a barcode, or other codes with identification functions.

[0061] It is worth understanding that a prize redemption slot 110 is provided inside the shell 100, the punching assembly 200 and the identification assembly 300 are connected to the shell 100, and the lottery prize redemption punching device forms a modular whole through the shell 100. Through the modular approach, the installation of the lottery prize redemption punching device and the lottery machine is more convenient, thereby improving the convenience of installation; the lottery prize redemption punching device can punch and mark the lottery tickets that have been redeemed, thereby avoiding loopholes such as repeated redemption and reducing the operating costs of the lottery machine.

[0062] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some specific embodiments of the present invention, the punching assembly 200 includes: a punch holder 210, a punch 220, and a driving source 230. The punch holder 210 is connected to the housing 100; the punch 220 faces the support surface and is slidably connected to the punch holder 210 along the second direction. The punch 220 includes a main body 221 slidably connected to the punch holder 210 and a punching portion 222 connected to the main body 221.

[0063] It is worth understanding that the punch 220 moves relative to the punch bracket 210 along the second direction under the drive of the driving source 230 , and the punch 220 passes through the blanking opening 120 into the prize redemption slot 110 and completes the punching of the lottery ticket.

[0064] In this embodiment, the punching notch 120 includes a first hole and a second hole, the first hole being provided on the ticket inspection surface, and the second hole being provided on the support surface. When the punch 220 passes through the punching notch 120 along the second direction, the punch 220 passes through the first hole and the second hole in sequence to cut the lottery ticket in the prize redemption slot 110, thereby ensuring that the punch 220 can completely cut off a portion of the lottery ticket and form a through hole in the lottery ticket. Furthermore, after punching, the waste material of the lottery ticket can escape from the prize redemption slot 110, thereby preventing the waste material from accumulating in the prize redemption slot 110 and affecting the subsequent prize redemption of the lottery ticket. As another embodiment, the punching notch 120 can also be only the first hole, with the punch 220 forming the first hole and abutting against the support surface, so that the punch 220 can cut off a portion of the lottery ticket.

[0066] In this embodiment, the driving source 230 is a motor having a drive shaft fixedly connected to a gear 231 to rotate the gear 231. The engagement of the gear 231 with the rack portion 223 converts the rotation of the gear 231 into linear movement of the rack portion 223, thereby driving the punch 220 to move linearly in the second direction, thereby achieving movement of the punch 220 in the second direction. The rack portion 223 can be directly formed on one side of the main body 221, or it can be a separate rack connected to the main body 221.

[0067] Reference Figure 1、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some specific embodiments of the present invention, the lottery prize redemption punching device also includes a trigger sensor 400, the shell 100 is defined by a prize redemption slot 110, and the prize redemption slot 110 is defined by a ticket entry 112 at a first end 111 along a first direction; the trigger sensor 400 is connected to the shell 100 and is located at a second end 113 relative to the first end 111, and the trigger sensor 400 is electrically connected to the identification component 300; wherein, the trigger sensor 400 is configured as follows: when the logo of the lottery ticket is aligned with the identification component 300, the trigger sensor 400 is triggered to enable the identification component 300 to identify the logo.

[0068] It is worth noting that the identification component 300 is controlled by the trigger sensor 400 to perform identification. The identification component 300 only recognizes the identification area of ​​the lottery ticket after the trigger sensor 400 is triggered, thereby conserving power consumption of the identification component 300 and reducing daily consumption. The trigger sensor 400 is located at the second end 113 so that it is triggered only when the lottery ticket is inserted into the second end 113. This ensures that the lottery ticket is fully inserted into the prize redemption slot 110 and the integrity of the lottery ticket is guaranteed. In this embodiment, the trigger sensor 400 is a through-beam photoelectric sensor.

[0069] In this embodiment, the shell 100 is defined by a trigger port 140 connected to the prize redemption slot 110, and the trigger port 140 includes a first port provided on the ticket checking surface and a second port provided on the support surface. The trigger sensor 400 includes a first shooting part and a second shooting part relative to each other. The first shooting part is provided on the ticket checking surface and aligned with the first port, and the second shooting part is provided on the support surface and aligned with the second port.

[0070] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in some specific embodiments of the present invention, the shell 100 includes: a first main board portion 150 and a second main board portion 160 spaced apart along the second direction, and a side of the second main board portion 160 relative to the first main board portion 150 is a supporting surface; a first connecting plate portion 170 and a second connecting plate portion 180 spaced apart along the third direction, the third direction is perpendicular to the second direction, and the first connecting plate portion 170 and the second connecting plate portion 180 are both connected to the first main board portion 150 and the second main board portion 160; wherein the first connecting plate portion 170, the second connecting plate portion 180, the first main board portion 150 and the second main board portion 160 jointly define a prize redemption slot 110, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction and the third direction, and the prize redemption slot 110 is defined with a ticket entrance at the first end 111 along the first direction.

[0071] In this embodiment, the thickness of the first and second connecting plate portions 170, 180 along the second direction is relatively small, thereby reducing the thickness of the prize redemption slot 110 along the second direction and matching the thickness of the lottery ticket. This ensures that the lottery ticket is inserted smoothly into the prize redemption slot 110, facilitating ticket identification. Due to the size limitations of the first and second connecting plate portions 170, 180, the punching assembly 200 and the identification assembly 300 are co-located on the first main plate portion 150. Connecting the punching assembly 200 and the identification assembly 300 to the same main plate portion facilitates installation. Alternatively, the punching assembly 200 and the identification assembly 300 can be separately located on the first and second main plates 150, 160.

[0073] It is worth understanding that the second end 113 is stopped by the bent portion 162 of the second main board portion 160, and the prize redemption slot 110 forms a ticket input slot having only a ticket input port 112. When the lottery ticket is inserted into the second end 113 of the prize redemption slot 110, it will be stopped by the bent portion 162, so that the prize redeemer knows that the lottery ticket is in place and does not need to be inserted, which makes it convenient for the prize redeemer to redeem the prize.

[0074] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in some specific embodiments of the present invention, the shell 100 also includes: a third main board portion 190, the first main board portion 150 includes a bottom plate 151 and a side plate 152 connected to the bottom plate 151; the third main board portion 190 is arranged on the side of the first main board portion 150 away from the second main board portion 160, and is connected to the side plate 152; wherein, the punching component 200 is arranged on the bottom plate 151, and the identification component 300 is arranged on the third main board portion 190.

[0075] It's worth noting that the third mainboard portion 190 is spaced apart from the first mainboard portion 150, and the punching assembly 200 is positioned within the spaced apart area. The third mainboard portion 190 shields the punching assembly 200, preventing damage to the punching assembly 200 during transport. The identification assembly 300 is positioned within the third mainboard portion 190. The spaced apart area provides a certain distance between the identification assembly 300 and the lottery ticket logo, facilitating its focusing and enabling clearer identification of the lottery ticket logo, resulting in higher recognition efficiency.

[0076] In this embodiment, the lottery prize redemption punching device further includes a control board 500, which is located on the third plate portion along with the recognition component 300.
