Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of office stationery technology, specifically to a pen refill storage device. Background Technology

[0002] When using ballpoint pens or gel pens, it is usually necessary to prepare multiple refills for replacement. To prevent refills from being lost and to ensure orderly storage, a special storage device for storing pen refills has emerged.

[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent CN213263807U discloses a pen refill storage device, the structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a box body 1a, with a lead ejection channel on the side wall of the box body 1a for ejecting the pen refill 2a. The box body 1a contains a sloping plate 3a for storing the pen refill 2a. The lead ejection channel includes an elongated hole 4a on the side wall of the box body 1a, with an arc-shaped top plate 5a fixed at the upper end and an arc-shaped baffle 6a fixed at the lower end. The lead ejection channel allows only one pen refill 2a to pass through at a time. One end of the sloping plate 3a is hinged to the side wall of the box body 1a opposite to the elongated hole 4a, and the other end is placed obliquely downwards within the arc-shaped baffle 6a. The device also includes a spring reset button 7a and a cam mechanism 8a disposed between the spring reset button 7a and the sloping plate 3a. When the spring reset button 7a is pressed, the cam mechanism 8a moves the sloping plate 3a upwards, causing a pen refill 2a close to the lead ejection channel to be ejected from the lead ejection channel into the lead extraction slot 9a under the pressure of the sloping plate 3a and the arc-shaped top plate 5a. This pen refill storage device can not only store pen refills 2a in an orderly manner, but also allows you to retrieve a pen refill 2a by pressing the spring reset button 7a once, making it quite convenient to retrieve.

[0004] However, existing pen refill storage devices still have the following technical problems: because the refill channel is always open, the dust protection effect is poor. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a pen refill storage device with better dustproof effect.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is: a pen refill storage device, including a housing, and further comprising:

[0007] An inclined plate, which is fixedly installed at an angle inside the box, is used to store pen refills;

[0008] A rotating component, rotatably connected to the box body and located on the lower side of the inclined plate, is used to receive a single pen refill that slides off the inclined plate. The rotating component has a closed position and an open position.

[0009] The lead outlet channel is disposed on the box body and located between the lower side of the inclined plate and the rotating member, for sequentially passing through a single pen lead. When the rotating member is rotated to the closed position, the lead outlet channel opens, and when the rotating member is rotated to the open position, the lead outlet channel closes.

[0010] Buttons are provided on the housing for pressing purposes;

[0011] A linkage mechanism is provided between the button and the rotating component. When the button is pressed, the linkage mechanism drives the rotating component to switch between a closed position and an open position.

[0012] The working principle of this pen refill storage device is as follows:

[0013] Press the button, and the linkage mechanism drives the rotating part to switch between the closed and open positions; when the rotating part rotates to the closed position, the lead outlet channel opens, and a pen lead on the inclined plate slides into the rotating part through the lead outlet channel; when the rotating part rotates to the open position, the lead outlet channel closes, the pen lead on the inclined plate remains on the inclined plate, and the pen lead inside the rotating part can be removed.

[0014] With the above structure, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0015] This utility model pen refill storage device only opens the rotating part when a pen refill needs to be removed; during normal storage, the rotating part is closed, thus preventing the pen refills inside the box from coming into contact with dust and providing good dust protection. When the rotating part is closed, the pen refills inside the box have already slid down and are temporarily stored inside the rotating part, so that one pen refill is temporarily stored before the rotating part is opened. After the rotating part is opened, the pen refills inside the box will not slide down. Since the refill channel can only allow one pen refill to pass through in sequence, and the rotating part can only store one pen refill at a time, the storage and retrieval of pen refills is very orderly. In addition, the operation is very convenient, as the rotating part is triggered to open or close by a button.

[0016] Preferably, the linkage mechanism includes a connecting rod horizontally disposed above the rotating component. The connecting rod is slidably disposed within the housing via an elastic reset member. The top of the connecting rod is connected to the button, and both sides of its bottom are connected to the two ends of the rotating component via guide structures. When the button is pressed, the connecting rod moves downward and drives the rotating component to rotate to the open position via the guide structures. When the button is released, the connecting rod moves upward and drives the rotating component to rotate to the closed position via the guide structures. The arrangement and layout of the connecting rod facilitates the connection between the button and the rotating component, and converts the force of the button into rotation at both ends of the rotating component through the guide structures, making the rotation of the rotating component more stable and reliable.

[0017] Preferably, the guide structure includes a guide groove disposed on one of the rotating member and the connecting rod, and a guide post disposed on the other. When the button is pressed, the guide post slides relative to the guide groove, causing both ends of the rotating member to rotate. This guide structure is simple and compact, with fewer intermediate transmission links, and more reliable motion conversion.

[0018] Preferably, the bottom of the connecting rod has ears extending to both ends of the rotating component on both sides, the guide post is disposed on the ears, and the guide groove is disposed on the end face of the rotating component. The ears not only facilitate the connection between the connecting rod and the end of the rotating component, but also make the structure more compact.

[0019] Preferably, the guide groove extends outward from the middle of the end face of the rotating component, with an open outer end and a closed inner end. Providing an open outer end to the guide groove facilitates the installation of the guide post into it.

[0020] Preferably, limiting seats are provided on both sides of the bottom of the connecting rod, and two elastic reset members are provided, each mounted on one of the two limiting seats. Providing elastic reset members on both sides of the connecting rod makes the reset of the button and the connecting rod more reliable.

[0021] Preferably, the connecting rod is further provided with a deflecting part, which is used to deflect the pen refill on the lower side of the inclined plate upward when the connecting rod moves upward, so that the pen refill close to the refill channel can slide down smoothly. This arrangement allows the pen refill on the lower side of the inclined plate to be deflected upward by the deflecting part of the connecting rod when multiple pen refills are stacked on the inclined plate, thereby offsetting the pressure on the pen refill close to the refill channel, and thus allowing the pen refill close to the refill channel to slide down smoothly.

[0022] Preferably, the top of the lead outlet channel is provided with a guide surface that is aligned with the inclination direction of the inclined plate. This arrangement allows for better guidance of the pen lead on the inclined plate into the lead outlet channel.

[0023] Preferably, the bottom of the housing is provided with a clearance groove that communicates with the core outlet channel, and the rotating component is rotatably installed in the clearance groove. Using the clearance groove at the bottom of the housing to install the rotating component results in a simpler and more compact overall structure.

[0024] Preferably, the button is located on the top of the housing and is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting rod. When the button is flipped downwards, it abuts against the top of the housing and is limited on the housing. When the button is flipped upwards, the button is released from the limitation on the housing. Providing a flip-able button prevents accidental button presses that could open the rotating component.

Detailed Implementation

[0038] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0039] Example:

[0040] like Figure 2-11 As shown, a pen refill storage device includes a housing 1, and further includes:

[0041] Inclined plate 2, which is fixedly installed at an angle inside the box 1, is used to store pen refills 3;

[0042] Rotating component 4 is rotatably connected to the box body 1 and located on the lower side of the inclined plate 2. It is used to receive a single pen refill 3 that slides down the inclined plate 2. Rotating component 4 has a closed position and an open position.

[0043] The lead outlet channel 5 is disposed on the box body 1 and located between the lower side of the inclined plate 2 and the rotating member 4, for sequentially passing through a single pen lead 3. When the rotating member 4 is rotated to the closed position, the lead outlet channel 5 is opened, and when the rotating member 4 is rotated to the open position, the lead outlet channel 5 is closed.

[0044] Button 6 is pressable and is provided on the housing 1;

[0045] The linkage mechanism 7 is located between the button 6 and the rotating component 4. When the button 6 is pressed, the linkage mechanism 7 drives the rotating component 4 to switch between the closed position and the open position.

[0046] In this embodiment, the pen refill storage device only opens the rotating part 4 when the pen refill 3 needs to be taken out. During normal storage, the rotating part 4 is closed, which makes it difficult for the pen refill 3 in the box 1 to come into contact with dust, thus providing a good dustproof effect. When the rotating part 4 is closed, the pen refill 3 in the box 1 has already slid down and is temporarily stored in the rotating part 4. This means that the rotating part 4 will temporarily store one pen refill 3 before it is opened. After the rotating part 4 is opened, the pen refill 3 in the box 1 will no longer slide down. Since the refill channel 5 can only pass through one pen refill 3 in sequence, and the rotating part 4 can only store one pen refill 3 at a time, the storage and retrieval of the pen refill 3 is very orderly. In addition, the operation is very convenient, as the rotating part 4 can be triggered to open or close by the button 6.

[0047] The linkage mechanism 7 includes a connecting rod 9 horizontally positioned above the rotating component 4. The connecting rod 9 is slidably positioned inside the housing 1 via an elastic reset member 10. The top of the connecting rod 9 is connected to the button 6, and both sides of its bottom are connected to the two ends of the rotating component 4 via guide structures 11. When the button 6 is pressed, the button 6 drives the connecting rod 9 to move downwards, and drives the rotating component 4 to rotate to the open position via the guide structure 11. When the button 6 is released, the elastic reset member 10 drives the connecting rod 9 to move upwards, and drives the rotating component 4 to rotate to the closed position via the guide structure 11. In this embodiment, the rotating component 4 is horizontally positioned, and both ends are rotatably connected to the housing 1 via a rotating shaft 8. The elastic reset member 10 is a spring. The vertical sliding structure between the connecting rod 9 and the housing 1 can be achieved using existing technology. The rotating component 4 opens when rotating downwards and closes when rotating upwards. The setting and layout of the connecting rod 9 facilitates the connection between the button 6 and the rotating component 4, and converts the force of the button 6 into the rotation of both ends of the rotating component 4 via the guide structure 11, making the rotation of the rotating component 4 more stable and reliable.

[0048] The guide structure 11 includes a guide groove 12 disposed on one of the rotating member 4 and the connecting rod 9, and a guide post 13 disposed on the other. When the button 6 is pressed, the guide post 13 slides relative to the guide groove 12, causing both ends of the rotating member 4 to rotate. This guide structure 11 is simple and compact, with fewer intermediate transmission links, and more reliable motion conversion.

[0049] The bottom of the connecting rod 9 has ears 14 extending to both ends of the rotating component 4 on both sides. Guide posts 13 are provided on the ears 14, and guide grooves 12 are provided on the end face of the rotating component 4. The ears 14 not only facilitate the connection between the connecting rod 9 and the end of the rotating component 4, but also make the structure lighter.

[0050] The guide groove 12 extends outward from the middle of the end face of the rotating part 4, with the outer end of the guide groove 12 open and the inner end closed. The outer end opening of the guide groove 12 facilitates the installation of the guide post 13 into the guide groove 12.

[0051] Limit seats 15 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the connecting rod 9, and two elastic reset members 10 are provided, which are respectively installed on the two limit seats 15. The provision of elastic reset members 10 on both sides of the connecting rod 9 can make the reset of the button 6 and the connecting rod 9 more reliable.

[0052] The connecting rod 9 is also equipped with a toggle part 16, which is used to push the pen refill 3 on the lower side of the inclined plate 2 upward when the connecting rod 9 moves upward, so that the pen refill 3 close to the refill channel 5 can slide down smoothly. This setting can be used when multiple pen refills 3 are stacked on the inclined plate 2. The toggle part 16 of the connecting rod 9 pushes the pen refill 3 on the lower side of the inclined plate 2 upward, thereby offsetting the pressure on the pen refill 3 close to the refill channel 5, so that the pen refill 3 close to the refill channel 5 can slide down smoothly.

[0053] The top of the lead outlet channel 5 is provided with a guide surface 17 that is aligned with the tilt direction of the inclined plate 2. This arrangement allows for better guidance of the pen lead 3 on the inclined plate 2 into the lead outlet channel 5.

[0054] The bottom of the housing 1 is provided with a clearance groove 18 that communicates with the core outlet channel 5, and the rotating component 4 is rotatably installed in the clearance groove 18. By using the clearance groove 18 at the bottom of the housing 1 to install the rotating component 4, the overall structure is simpler and more compact.

[0055] Button 6 is located on the top of the housing 1 and is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting rod 9. When button 6 is flipped downwards, it abuts against the top of the housing 1 and is limited on the housing 1. When button 6 is flipped upwards, button 6 is released from the limitation on the housing 1. The flip-up button 6 can prevent accidental activation of button 6 from opening the rotating part 4.

[0056] The working principle of the pen refill storage device in this embodiment is as follows:

[0057] During routine storage of the pen refill 3, the rotating part 4 is closed, and the refill channel 5 is open. One pen refill 3 on the inclined plate 2 is stored in the rotating part 4 through the refill channel 5, ensuring that one pen refill 3 is temporarily stored before the rotating part 4 is opened. Additionally, to prevent accidental operation, the button 6 can be flipped downwards, limiting it to the housing 1, thus preventing it from being pressed. Figure 5 As shown; when you need to retrieve the pen refill 3, first flip button 6 upwards to release button 6 from the box 1, as shown. Figure 6 As shown, press button 6 again. Button 6 moves downward, causing connecting rod 9 to move downward. The guide posts 13 on both sides of connecting rod 9 slide relative to the guide grooves 12 at both ends of rotating part 4, causing both ends of rotating part 4 to rotate. Rotating part 4 rotates downward and opens. During the opening process of rotating part 4, the lead outlet channel 5 slowly closes. The pen lead 3 on inclined plate 2 remains on inclined plate 2 and cannot enter the lead outlet channel 5. Only the pen lead 3 that has been stored in rotating part 4 beforehand can be taken out from rotating part 4. Figure 7 As shown, this ensures the orderly storage and retrieval of the pen refill 3; when the button 6 is released, the elastic reset component 10 drives the connecting rod 9 to move upward. The upward movement of the connecting rod 9 drives the rotating component 4 to rotate in the opposite direction and close through the guide post 13 and the guide groove 12. At the same time, the refill channel 5 opens, and the actuating part 16 on the connecting rod 9 pushes the pen refill 3 on the lower side of the inclined plate 2 upward, so that a pen refill 3 close to the refill channel 5 can be stored in the rotating component 4 through the refill channel 5, as shown. Figure 8 As shown.
