[0014] In one embodiment, the bottom of the mounting sleeve is further provided with a wire hole through which the signal wire of the pressure sensor passes.
[0015] In one embodiment, waterproof adhesive is also provided at the wire hole.
[0016] In one embodiment, the snap-fit protrusion forms a guide ramp on the sidewall away from the pen tip.
[0017] In one embodiment, the end of the pen refill remote from the mounting sleeve is provided with a mounting hole, and the pen tip assembly further includes a pen tip portion disposed in the mounting hole, the pen tip portion extending from the end of the pen refill sleeve remote from the mounting sleeve.

[0030] This invention proposes a pen tip assembly, referring to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The pen tip assembly includes:
[0031] Pen refill sleeve 10;
[0032] The mounting sleeve 20 is fixedly installed at the end of the pen refill sleeve 10 away from the pen tip;
[0033] The pen refill rod 30 is disposed in the pen refill sleeve 10, and the pen refill rod 30 is provided with a limiting structure that restricts its own movement toward the pen tip;
[0034] The first sealing ring 51 is disposed at the limiting structure;
[0035] A pressure sensor 40 is disposed in the mounting sleeve 20 and abuts against the end of the pen refill rod 30 away from the pen tip.
[0036] In this embodiment, the pen refill sleeve 10 is a through-hole rotating body with a central hole and openings at both ends. One end can be fitted with a pen tip, and the other end is connected to the mounting sleeve 20. The pen refill sleeve 10 can be inserted into the mounting sleeve 20, or the mounting sleeve 20 can be inserted into the pen refill sleeve 10. Alternatively, the two can be connected by ultrasonic welding or glue. The mounting sleeve 20 is used to seal one end of the pen refill sleeve 10. The limiting structure includes a first step on the pen refill rod 30, and the inner wall of the pen refill sleeve 10 has a second step corresponding to the first step. The first sealing ring 51 is disposed between the first and second steps.
[0037] This invention provides a pen tip assembly, which includes a pen refill sleeve 10, a mounting sleeve 20 fixedly disposed at one end of the pen refill sleeve 10, a pen refill rod 30 disposed within the pen refill sleeve 10, a pressure sensor 40 disposed within the mounting sleeve 20 and abutting against the pen refill rod 30, and a first sealing ring 51 disposed between the pen refill rod 30 and the pen refill sleeve 10. The first sealing ring 51 prevents liquid from entering the mounting sleeve 20 through the gap between the pen refill sleeve 10 and the pen refill rod 30, thus solving the problem of the stylus lacking waterproof functionality. Simultaneously, the limiting structure prevents the pen refill rod 30 from detaching from the pen refill sleeve 10. The first sealing ring 51 is disposed within and compressed by both the pen refill rod 30 and the pen refill sleeve 10, thereby allowing the pen refill rod 30 a certain amount of elastic movement space along the axial direction.
[0038] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The pen refill sleeve 10 and the mounting sleeve 20 are interlocked. The outer wall of the pen refill sleeve 10 is provided with a snap-fit protrusion 11, which is located at the end of the pen refill sleeve 10 away from the pen tip. The mounting sleeve 20 is provided with a buckle 21 that matches the snap-fit protrusion 11. In this embodiment, the pen refill sleeve 10 and the mounting sleeve 20 are detachably connected by providing the snap-fit protrusion 11 and the buckle 21. When it is necessary to replace or repair the internal pressure sensor 40, the buckle 21 can be pried open radially to disengage the snap-fit protrusion 11, and then the pen refill sleeve 10 and the mounting sleeve 20 can be separated.
[0039] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2A second sealing ring 52 is provided between the outer wall of the pen refill sleeve 10 and the inner wall of the mounting sleeve 20. A first annular groove is also provided on the outer periphery of the pen refill sleeve 10, located on the side of the snap-fit protrusion 11 near the pen tip. A second annular groove corresponding to the first annular groove is also provided on the inner wall of the mounting sleeve 20. The second sealing ring 52 is located between the first and second annular grooves. By providing the first and second annular grooves, the second sealing ring 52 can be fixed, and by providing the second sealing ring 52, the gap between the mounting sleeve 20 and the pen refill sleeve 10 is blocked, preventing liquid and dust from entering the mounting sleeve 20 through the gap.
[0040] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bottom of the mounting sleeve 20 is also provided with a wire passage hole, through which the signal wire of the pressure sensor 40 passes. Waterproof adhesive is also provided at the wire passage hole. In this embodiment, the signal wire is a ribbon cable, the aforementioned wire passage hole is a strip-shaped hole, and the waterproof adhesive is silicone. The silicone fills the gap between the ribbon cable and the wire passage hole, preventing external liquids and dust from entering the interior of the mounting sleeve 20 through the wire passage hole.
[0041] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The snap-fit protrusion 11 forms a guide slope on the side wall away from the pen tip. By setting the guide slope, it is convenient for the mounting sleeve 20 to align with the pen refill sleeve 10 along the guide slope, and then the limiting protrusion snaps into the buckle 21.
[0042] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The pen refill 30 has a mounting hole at its end away from the mounting sleeve 20. The pen tip assembly also includes a pen tip portion disposed in the mounting hole, extending from the end of the pen refill sleeve 10 away from the mounting sleeve 20. The pen tip portion is a plastic part, comprising a cylindrical section and a conical section. The larger end of the conical section is connected to one end of the cylindrical section, and the two are coaxially arranged. The cylindrical section is inserted into the mounting hole, and the two fit tightly together. The pointed end of the conical section serves as the writing end.
[0043] The present invention also proposes a stylus, including the aforementioned pen tip assembly. By providing a first sealing ring 51, liquid can be prevented from entering the mounting sleeve 20 through the gap between the pen tip sleeve 10 and the pen tip rod 30, thus solving the problem that the stylus lacks waterproof functionality.
[0044] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
