There are two main types: passive capacitive styluses rely on a conductive tip to simulate the human body's electric field, requiring no power source, and are simple in structure and inexpensive, suitable for basic selection and writing; active styluses, on the other hand, have built-in chips and batteries, communicate with devices via Bluetooth, support advanced features such as pressure sensitivity levels, tilt sensing, and anti-mistouch, and can capture changes in stroke thickness and angle to meet the demanding needs of professional drawing and note-taking. With the widespread adoption of mobile office and digital creation, styluses have become an important productivity extension for tablets and 2-in-1 devices, redefining the digital boundaries of handwriting and drawing with their low latency, high precision, and deep integration with the system ecosystem. Modern styluses are also increasingly integrating innovative features such as wireless charging, magnetic storage, and gesture control, evolving from simple writing tools into intelligent interactive carriers that combine artistic expression and efficiency enhancement.

[0038] The working principle and usage process of this invention are as follows: First, the user charges the power module through the charging port inside the upper cover. The power module supplies power to the adjustment circuit board, main circuit board, and microcontroller. The upper cover is rotated to lock it securely to the stylus shell via threads. A rubber plate covers and protects the charging port. The microcontroller initializes and starts the wireless communication module, establishing a wireless connection with external devices via Bluetooth. The accelerometer and pressure sensor enter standby mode. The user selects either manual or automatic adjustment mode based on writing preference or usage scenario. In manual adjustment mode, the user rotates the adjustment knob inside the display slot. The knob transmits the rotation angle signal to the microcontroller. The microcontroller calculates the target current value based on the preset damping-current mapping relationship and controls the current drive module to output a corresponding PWM current to the two electromagnetic coils. The electromagnetic coils generate a ring-shaped magnetic field, which, after being concentrated by the magnetic ring, acts perpendicularly on the magnetorheological fluid cavity. Magnetic particles in the magnetorheological fluid arrange themselves into a chain-like structure along the magnetic field lines, increasing the fluid viscosity. The rotating bushing, under the action of the guide groove, experiences shear resistance between itself and the magnetorheological fluid. As the force increases, the damping torque is transmitted to the conductive pen tip through the connecting shaft and rotating bushing, thereby achieving stepless adjustment of writing damping. Two indicator lights display the current damping level in real time through color changes. In automatic adjustment mode, the accelerometer collects the writing speed and tilt angle of the stylus in real time, and the pressure sensor detects the contact pressure between the conductive pen tip and the screen. The microcontroller inputs the sensor data into a preset adaptive algorithm to calculate the target damping value adapted to the current writing scenario and automatically adjusts the electromagnetic coil current. This allows for automatic reduction of damping to improve smoothness when the writing speed is fast and automatic increase of damping to enhance control precision when the writing speed is slow or the pressure is increased. After setting the damping, the user holds the stylus shell with their fingers on the grip pad, placing the V-shaped tip in contact with the screen. The V-shaped tip structure ensures precise positioning. The metal electrodes emit capacitive signals, which are transmitted to the screen through the conductive tip. During writing, as the tip rotates relative to the screen, the rotating shaft rotates within the magnetorheological fluid chamber. The damping force provided by the magnetorheological fluid creates a stable writing resistance. Simultaneously, a pressure sensor monitors the tip pressure in real time. When the pressure exceeds a set threshold, the microcontroller sends a pressure-sensitive signal to an external device via Bluetooth, triggering changes in stroke thickness. The user can rotate the adjustment knob at any time during writing to change the damping. The microcontroller responds in real time and adjusts the electromagnetic coil current. Two indicator lights update the damping level display synchronously. Accelerometers and pressure sensors continuously monitor the writing status, enabling dynamic adjustment that automatically reduces damping during high-speed strokes and automatically increases damping during fine outlining.After writing is completed, a standby command is sent via an external device or adjustment knob. The microcontroller cuts off the power supply to the electromagnetic coil, and the magnetorheological fluid returns to a low viscosity state. The rotating bushing maintains flexible rotation with the cooperation of the bearing and the sealing ring. During maintenance, the magnetorheological fluid in the magnetorheological fluid chamber can be replenished or replaced periodically through the inlet and outlet channels. Tightening the sealing bolts achieves a seal. The stylus is placed in the storage position, and the rubber plate protects the charging interface from dust contamination.
