[0038] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the stylus pen 1 can be easily assembled and reworked by assemblers. The wireless module of the stylus pen 1 will not hit other components in the stylus pen 1 during assembly, and the wireless module is set close to the inner surface of the pen holder to transmit wireless signals. There is no base for fixing the wireless module at the bottom of the stylus pen 1, so the internal space can be saved. The stylus pen 1 can be operated with an external computer or mobile phone, so that the user can use the stylus pen 1 to write or draw on the touch interface of the computer or mobile phone. The stylus pen 1 includes a pen holder 10, a pen rod 20, a wireless module 30, four elastic members 40, a top cover 50 and an opening cover 60.

[0039] In one embodiment of the present invention, the pen holder 10 is a tubular housing, and the pen holder 10 is used for the user to hold and operate the stylus 1. The pen holder 10 includes a positioning member 12, a stopper 13, an opening 14, and a positioning end 15. The positioning member 12 includes two positioning pieces 121, 121a and a slot 122. The positioning pieces 121, 121a are arranged at opposite ends of the slot 122 and are used to position the wireless module 30. However, the number of the positioning pieces 121, 121a is not limited to two, and can be changed to at least one according to design requirements. One of the positioning pieces 121 includes two positioning portions 1211, which are circular holes; the other positioning piece 121a includes a positioning portion 1211a, which is a long hole; however, the number of the positioning portions 1211 and 1211a is not limited to the above, and the number of the positioning portions 1211 and 1211a can be changed to more than one according to design requirements. The slot 122 is arranged along the extension axis of the tubular shell of the pen barrel 10, and the space of the slot 122 is used to arrange the wireless module 30. The opening 14 is arranged at the rear end of the pen barrel 10, and the opening 14 is used to allow the components of the stylus 1 to be placed inside the pen barrel 10. The stopper 13 is a protrusion arranged on the inner side of the pen barrel 10 and close to the pen head position, and the stopper 13 is used to limit the positioning of the pen shaft 20 after entering the pen barrel 10. The positioning end 15 is located near the pen head, and the positioning end 15 is used to position the top cover 50.

[0040] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the pen barrel 20 is a rod body with a pen core at the front end. The pen barrel 20 is set in the pen barrel 10 through a wireless module assembly procedure, and the pen core of the pen barrel 20 moves to the beginning of the pen head of the pen barrel 10 to touch the touch interface of the computer or mobile phone. When the wireless module assembly procedure is performed, the pen barrel 20 moves in the pen barrel 10 along an assembly direction A. The pen barrel 20 includes a stop point 21 and four protrusions 22. The position of the stop point 21 corresponds to the stop portion 13; when the pen barrel 20 moves in the pen barrel 10 until the pen core extends from the beginning of the pen head of the pen barrel 10, the stop portion 13 and the stop point 21 stop each other to limit the movement of the pen barrel 20. The four protrusions 22 are used to respectively set four elastic members 40, but the number of the protrusions 22 is not limited to four, and it can be changed to more than two according to design requirements. In addition, the pen barrel 20 is provided with a fixing piece 23 for fixing the wireless module 30 , but the fixing piece 23 is a conventional fixing structure and is not the focus of the present invention, so it will not be described in detail.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, the wireless module 30 is used to transmit the electronic signal of the stylus pen 1 to a computer or a mobile phone by wireless transmission. The wireless module 30 includes a circuit board 31 and an antenna module 32. The circuit board 31 is disposed on the pen holder 20. The circuit board 31 includes four circuit board grooves 311, and the four bosses 22 and the four elastic members 40 correspond to the four circuit board grooves 311 respectively; however, the number of circuit board grooves 311 is not limited to four, and it can be changed in accordance with the number of bosses 22. The antenna module 32 is used to transmit electronic signals by wireless transmission. The antenna module 32 is aligned with the slot 122 and is located on the circuit board 31 and is connected by wires (not shown) to supply power to the antenna module 32 through the circuit board 31. The antenna module 32 includes three corresponding positioning portions 321, 321a and four antenna module grooves 322. Among the three corresponding positioning parts 321, 321a, two corresponding positioning parts 321 are circular protruding structures, and their positions correspond to the positioning parts 1211 of the circular holes, and the remaining corresponding positioning part 321a is a long strip protruding structure, and its position corresponds to the positioning part 1211a of the long strip hole. The two corresponding positioning parts 321 of the circular protruding structure are used to combine with the positioning parts 1211 of the circular holes, and the corresponding positioning parts 321a of the long strip protruding structure are used to combine with the positioning parts 1211a of the long strip hole. Through the combination between the corresponding positioning parts 321, 321a and the positioning parts 1211, 1211a, the positioning pieces 121, 121a can position the antenna module 32. The four bosses 22 are respectively disposed in the four antenna module grooves 322; however, the number of the antenna module grooves 322 is not limited to four, and it can be changed in accordance with the number of bosses 22. By combining the four bosses 22 , the four circuit board grooves 311 and the four antenna module grooves 322 , the antenna module 32 cannot move along the plane of the circuit board 31 , and the antenna module 32 can only move along the extension direction of the bosses 22 .

[0042] In one embodiment of the present invention, the four elastic members 40 are springs, and the four elastic members 40 are disposed between the wireless module 30 and the pen holder 20. The two ends of each elastic member 40 are respectively connected to the pen holder 20 and the wireless module 30, and the four elastic members 40 are respectively disposed on the four bosses 22, and are used to push the antenna module 32 upward, so that the antenna module 32 enters the slot 122 and the corresponding positioning portions 321, 321a are respectively combined with the positioning portions 1211, 1211a. However, the number of the elastic members 40 is not limited to four, and it can be changed in accordance with the number of the bosses 22.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, the top cover 50 covers the slot 122 to prevent the components in the pen barrel 20 from falling out of the slot 122. The opening cover 60 is connected to the top cover 50; when the top cover 50 covers the slot 122 and is located at the positioning end 15, the opening cover 60 covers the opening 14 to prevent the components in the pen barrel 20 from falling out of the opening 14.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the staff needs to assemble the stylus pen 1, they need to first install the four elastic members 40 on the four bosses 22 respectively; then, the staff can align the four circuit board grooves 311 and the four antenna module grooves 322 with the four bosses 22 respectively, and fix the wireless module 30 with the clamping piece 23 of the pen holder 20; when the wireless module 30 and the pen holder 20 are combined, the four elastic members 40 will push the antenna module 32 upward. Then, the staff can place the combined pen holder 20 and the wireless module 30 into the pen holder 10 through the opening 14 along the assembly direction A. When the pen shaft 20 and the wireless module 30 move toward the inside of the pen barrel 10 along the assembly direction A, the wireless module 30 may collide with the plate body 16 due to its certain height; therefore, the assembler can press the wireless module 30 toward the pen shaft 20, so that the wireless module 30 is compressed so that the four elastic members 40 are in a compressed state, and the relative height of the wireless module 30 on the pen shaft 20 is lower than the plate body 16 and the positioning pieces 121, 121a; in this way, when the wireless module 30 with a lower height moves toward the inside of the pen barrel 10 along the assembly direction A, it will not collide with the internal components of the stylus pen 1 of the present invention, such as the plate body 16 and the positioning pieces 121, 121a.

[0045] As 1 to Figure 3 As shown, when the wireless module 30 with a lowered height moves along the assembly direction A toward the inside of the pen holder 10 to the stop portion 13 to stop the stop point 21, the wireless module 30 is located below the positioning member 12, aligned with the slot 122, and the corresponding positioning portions 321, 321a are respectively aligned with the positioning portions 1211, 1211a, the assembler can stop pressing the wireless module 30; at this time, the restoring force of the four elastic members 40 will push the wireless module 30 upward, so that the antenna module 32 of the wireless module 30 enters the slot 122, and The corresponding protruding structures of the positioning parts 321 and 321a are respectively fixed with the holes of the positioning parts 1211 and 1211a; in this way, the height of the antenna module 32 will be increased, so that the electronic signal of the stylus 1 can be smoothly transmitted to the computer or mobile phone, and the corresponding fixing of the positioning parts 321 and 321a with the positioning parts 1211 and 1211a can make the antenna module 32 of the wireless module 30, the groove 122 of the pen holder 10 and the positioning parts 1211 and 1211a firmly combined to complete the wireless module assembly procedure.

[0046] Finally, the assembler can cover the slot 122 with the top cover 50 and position the top cover 50 at the positioning end 15. When the top cover 50 covers the slot 122 and is positioned at the positioning end 15, the opening cover 60 will cover the opening 14 to prevent the components in the pen body 20 from falling out of the opening 14. In this way, the external openings of the stylus pen 1, such as the slot 122 and the opening 14, will be covered by the top cover 50 and the opening cover 60 respectively to prevent the components in the pen body 20 from falling out.

[0047] Through the structural design of the stylus pen 1 of the present invention, when assembling the stylus pen 1, the assembler only needs to easily press and push the wireless module 30 laterally to compress the multiple elastic members 40, driving the height of the wireless module 30 to be lower than the positioning member 12, so that when the wireless module 30 is assembled, the wireless module 30 will not collide with other components in the pen holder 10, which is convenient for the assembler to assemble and rework. In addition, when the wireless module 30 moves to the bottom of the positioning member 12, the restoring force of the multiple elastic members 40 pushes the wireless module 30 to combine with the positioning member 12 to complete the wireless module assembly procedure, and the setting position of the wireless module 30 is raised close to the inner surface of the pen holder 10, so that the wireless signal is smoothly transmitted to the outside. In addition, there is no base for fixing the wireless module 30 at the bottom of the stylus pen 1, so that internal space can be saved.

[0048] Of course, the present invention may have many other embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, technicians familiar with the field can make various corresponding changes and modifications based on the present invention, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims attached to the present invention.
