In-depth Analysis of the Material Selection and Craftsmanship of the Base of the Lottery Machine: A Dual Guarantee of Robustness and Visual Appeal

In various open and fair lottery activities, the lottery machine serves as the core equipment, and its stability and reliability are crucial. The base, as the fundamental component that bears the entire lottery mechanism and faces the usage environment and the audience's gaze, is not a trivial matter in terms of material selection and manufacturing process. An excellent base should not only provide solid physical support to ensure smooth operation of the machine without shaking, but also possess good durability and environmental adaptability, and even enhance the overall professionalism and trustworthiness of the equipment in appearance. Currently, in the manufacturing of the lottery machine base shell, fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) material and wood baking paint process are two mainstream solutions that have been tested in practice, each having its own advantages.

Option 1: Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) base - integrally molded, combining both rigidity and toughness

Glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP), also known as fiberglass, is a composite material made of glass fibers and resin (usually unsaturated polyester resin). Its application in the base shell of the lottery machine offers significant advantages:

Excellent mechanical strength and rigidity: The addition of glass fibers endows the material with extremely high tensile, compressive, and impact resistance. This means that the base can effectively resist collisions, squeezes during transportation, installation, and daily use, ensuring the safety and stability of the internal lottery mechanism. In the face of unexpected impacts, its toughness is superior to many traditional materials, making it less prone to permanent deformation or cracking.

Lightweight design: Compared to solid wood or metal of the same volume, fiberglass has a lower density, significantly reducing the overall weight of the base. This not only facilitates the handling and deployment of equipment but also reduces the load requirements on the supporting surface, making the application scenarios more flexible.

Excellent weather resistance and corrosion resistance: FRP material is inherently highly resistant to moisture, salt spray, ultraviolet rays, and various chemicals. Whether in southern regions with high humidity, coastal environments, or places that require frequent cleaning and disinfection (such as government halls and medical institutions), the fiberglass base can maintain stable performance over the long term, and is less prone to issues such as mold, corrosion, fading, and blistering.

High design freedom and integrated molding: Through the molding process, the fiberglass base can achieve complex curved surfaces and streamlined designs, with a strong overall appearance, seamless joints, and good sealing. The surface can be finely polished to achieve high gloss, matte, or special texture effects, giving it a modern feel. Integrated molding also reduces assembly steps and potential failure points.

Excellent insulation: For bases that require built-in electronic circuits, the non-conductive properties of fiberglass provide additional safety guarantees.

Of course, fiberglass bases typically require a higher upfront mold investment cost and are more suitable for standardized, mass-produced models. Although their surface hardness is high, if they are severely scratched by extremely sharp objects, repairing them is slightly more complicated than repairing wood panels with paint.

Option 2: Wooden painted base - classic texture, warm and reliable

Using high-quality multi-layer boards or solid wood (such as birch or oak) as the base material, and after being processed and shaped through fine woodworking techniques, and then coated with multi-layer environmentally friendly baking paint, the resulting base is also highly favored by the market, especially in places that pursue a solemn and elegant atmosphere:

Natural texture and high-end appearance: Wood itself possesses unique textures and a warm and smooth feel. When paired with high-quality paint finishes (such as piano paint or matte paint), it can present a very high-end and dignified visual effect, enhancing the overall grade and professional image of the equipment. This texture is difficult to fully replicate with synthetic materials.

Solid support foundation: High-quality wood or high-density board itself has sufficient load-bearing capacity and compressive strength. When the structural design is reasonable, it can provide a very stable support platform, effectively suppressing the vibration during the operation of the shaker.

Mature craftsmanship and convenient maintenance: Woodworking and paint baking are both highly mature crafts with a well-established supply chain. Once the surface paint layer is damaged (such as scratches), it can be relatively straightforward to restore the original appearance through local sanding, paint repair, and re-baking under professional conditions.

Environmental protection and comfort: Selecting base materials and paints that meet environmental standards can effectively control VOC emissions. The natural properties of wood also provide a certain level of thermal comfort.

Customization advantage: For lottery machines with small batches or special customization needs, the processing flexibility of wood board substrates is higher, and adjusting dimensions and shapes is relatively more convenient compared to mold-formed fiberglass.

Its limitations lie in the fact that wood is sensitive to changes in environmental humidity. Prolonged exposure to extremely dry or humid conditions may lead to slight deformation (high-quality multi-layer boards and craftsmanship can greatly alleviate this issue). Although the painted surface is hard, its impact resistance is generally slightly inferior to fiberglass, and severe impacts may cause the paint film to crack or even the wood to dent. Its weight is generally heavier than fiberglass of the same volume.

Conclusion: Choose based on need, and each brings out its own strengths
