[0056] Unless otherwise defined, all technical terms used in the embodiments of this invention have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art.

[0057] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0058] On the one hand, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a self-feeding inkstone, which includes: an ink reservoir 1, an ink dish 2, and a control mechanism 3.

[0059] The ink tank 1 is a closed cavity used to store ink. The ink tank 1 is located on one side of the ink disk 2. The ink tank 1 and the ink disk 2 are separated by a partition 4. The partition 4 is provided with an ink flow hole 41 and a vent hole 42.

[0060] The control mechanism 3 includes a first sealing component 31, a second sealing component 32, and a movable link 33; the first sealing component 31 includes a first sealing element 311, the second sealing component 32 includes a second sealing element 321, the position of the first sealing element 311 corresponds to the ink flow hole 41, and the position of the second sealing element 321 corresponds to the vent hole 42; the first sealing element 311 and the second sealing element 321 are respectively connected to the movable link 33.

[0061] The self-contained inkstone includes a sealed state and an ink-flowing state. In the sealed state, the movable connecting rod 33 is in the first position, the first sealing member 311 blocks the ink-flowing hole 41, and the second sealing member 321 blocks the vent hole 42, keeping the ink tank 1 sealed. In the ink-flowing state, the movable connecting rod 33 is in the second position, the first sealing member 311 disengages from the ink-flowing hole 41, the second sealing member 321 disengages from the vent hole 42, the ink tank 1 is connected to the ink dish 2, and ink can flow between the ink tank 1 and the ink dish 2.

[0062] The self-flowing inkstone of this embodiment includes an ink tank 1, an ink dish 2, and a control mechanism 3. The ink tank 1 and the ink dish 2 are separated by a partition 4. The partition 4 is provided with an ink flow hole 41 for ink flow and a vent hole 42 for balancing the air pressure inside and outside the ink tank 1. The movable link 33 of the control mechanism 3 is provided with a first sealing member 311 and a second sealing member 321. The position of the movable link 33 can be controlled to switch between the sealing state and the ink flow state.

[0063] In the sealed state, the movable connecting rod 33 is in the first position, the first sealing component 311 blocks the ink flow hole 41, the second sealing component 321 blocks the vent hole 42, the ink tank 1 remains sealed, and it is convenient to carry.

[0064] In the ink-flowing state, the movable linkage 33 is in the second position, the first sealing member 311 disengages and opens the ink flow hole 41, and the second sealing member 321 disengages and opens the vent hole 42, so as to realize the flow of ink between the ink tank 1 and the ink disk 2.

[0065] When it is necessary to dip the ink in ink, the ink in the ink tank 1 can be injected into the ink dish 2 through the ink flow hole 41 under the action of gravity. The user dips the ink in the ink dish 2 to practice calligraphy.

[0066] When the ink in ink dish 2 needs to be recycled, the ink dish can be tilted so that the height of one side of ink dish 2 is greater than that of ink tank 1. This allows the ink in ink dish 2 to flow back to ink tank 1 through ink flow hole 41 under the action of gravity, thus achieving ink recycling.

[0067] When the ink in ink tank 1 is low and needs to be replenished, the ink can be poured directly into ink dish 2. When the ink level in ink dish 2 is higher than that in ink tank 1, the ink in ink dish 2 will be injected into ink tank 1. Finally, the ink dish can be tilted to allow the ink in ink dish 2 to flow completely into ink tank 1, thus completing the ink filling of ink tank 1. The operation is simple and convenient, and there is no need to worry about problems such as ink drying out or difficulty in switching on and off.

[0068] In some possible implementations, the control mechanism 3 is located inside the ink tray 2, and the movable link 33 is movably arranged on the side of the partition 4 facing the ink tray 2. The first sealing member 311 and the second sealing member 321 correspond to the ends of the ink flow hole 41 and the vent hole 42 facing the ink tray 2, respectively. The movable link 33 can drive the first sealing member 311 and the second sealing member 321 to move on the side of the partition 4 facing the ink tray 2. In the sealed state, the first sealing member 311 seals the end of the ink flow hole 41 facing the ink tray 2, and the second sealing member 321 seals the end of the vent hole 42 facing the ink tray 2. In this way, the assembly difficulty of the control mechanism 3 can be reduced, the space occupied by the control mechanism 3 in the ink tank 1 can be reduced, and the sealing effect of the ink tank 1 can be ensured. The movable link 33 of the control mechanism 3 can also be kept separate from the ink, which can prevent the movable link 33 from sticking due to the ink drying out.

[0069] In this embodiment, the first sealing member 311 and the second sealing member 321 function to press and seal the ink flow hole 41 and the vent hole 42 from one side of the ink dish 2. The first sealing member 311 and the second sealing member 321 are connected to the movable connecting rod 33. During the movement of the movable connecting rod 33, the first sealing member 311 and the second sealing member 321 will move. When the movable connecting rod 33 moves to the first position, the position of the first sealing member 311 is aligned with the position of the ink flow hole 41, thereby sealing the ink flow hole 41. The position of the second sealing member 321 is aligned with the position of the vent hole 42, thereby sealing the vent hole 42, thus achieving a sealed state for the self-flowing ink dish inkstone. When the movable connecting rod 33 moves to the second position, the position of the first sealing member 311 is offset from the position of the ink flow hole 41, thereby opening the ink flow hole 41. The position of the second sealing member 321 is offset from the position of the vent hole 42, thereby opening the vent hole 42, thus achieving an ink flow state for the self-flowing ink dish inkstone. The movable linkage 33 can control the movement of two sealing components simultaneously, resulting in a simple structure and higher reliability.

[0070] Optionally, the movable link 33 can be switched between the first and second positions by manual drive by the user, or it can be switched between the first and second positions by electric drive.

[0071] In some possible implementations, the ink disc 2 is a top-open recessed structure formed by the sidewall 21 and the partition 4, through which ink can be dipped or refilled.

[0072] For example, the ink tray 2 has a pen licker on its bottom wall.

[0073] In some other possible implementations, the self-flowing inkstone also includes a protective cover 34, which is located on the side of the partition 4 facing the inkstone 2. The protective cover 34 covers the control mechanism 3, thereby making the appearance of the self-flowing inkstone neater, while also protecting the internal control mechanism 3 and improving the reliability of the control mechanism 3.

[0074] In some possible implementations, the top of the ink reservoir 1 can be inlaid with an inkstone 11, and the top plate of the ink reservoir 1 serves as an inlay support for the inkstone 11; the inkstone 11 can replace an ordinary inkstone for grinding ink with ink blocks, which is conducive to improving the functional diversity of the self-made ink dish inkstone.

[0075] Optionally, the inkstone plate 11 is a thin plate made of inkstone raw materials, including at least the inkstone surface and ink pool; the self-drinking inkstone with the inkstone plate 11 is suitable as a table-type dish inkstone, which can be used for both ink and grinding ink for writing, making it a multi-purpose item that can bring more choices to people; for calligraphers who are used to using inkstones to grind ink for writing, the ink reservoir 1 can be used to store water, and the ink dish 2 can be used as a water container.

[0076] In some possible implementations, the shapes of the ink tank 1, ink dish 2, and inkstone 11 include, but are not limited to, square, round, oval, and other irregular shapes. The choice of shape should take into account both practicality and aesthetics. The cross-section of the ink dish 2 can be designed in different forms.

[0077] In addition, the size of the vent hole 42 and the ink flow hole 41 determines the speed of ink addition and filling, and should be determined according to the size of the ink dish and the user's needs; in some possible implementations, the diameter of the vent hole 42 should be smaller than the diameter of the ink flow hole 41.

[0078] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the movable link 33 includes a first connecting arm 331 and a second connecting arm 332 connected at a target angle. A first sealing member 311 is located on the first connecting arm 331, and a second sealing member 321 is located on the second connecting arm 332. The connection between the first connecting arm 331 and the second connecting arm 332 is rotatably connected to the partition 4 via a rotating shaft 333. The movable link 33 rotates around the rotating shaft 333 to switch between a first position and a second position, controlling the sealing and opening of the ink flow hole 41 and the vent hole 42.

[0079] With the above arrangement, the movable link 33 is connected to the first sealing member 311 via the first connecting arm 331, and to the second sealing member 321 via the second connecting arm 332. It is also rotatably connected to the partition plate 4 via the rotating shaft 333. When the movable link 33 rotates around the rotating shaft 333, the first connecting arm 331 drives the first sealing member 311 to rotate around the rotating shaft 333, and the second connecting arm 332 drives the second sealing member 321 to rotate around the rotating shaft 333, so that the ink flow hole 41 and the vent hole 42 can be opened or blocked at the same time.

[0080] The value of the target angle depends on the relative positions of the vent 42, the rotating shaft 333, and the ink flow hole 41.

[0081] Combination Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the vent hole 42 and the rotating shaft 333 are positioned at a greater height on the partition plate 4 than the ink flow hole 41 is positioned on the partition plate 4.

[0082] In this embodiment, the vent 42 is used to vent or replenish air to the ink tank 1 to maintain the air pressure above the ink in the ink tank 1 the same as the external atmospheric pressure. Therefore, the vent 42 needs to be arranged above the highest ink level in the ink tank 1. The rotating shaft 333, as the component supporting the rotation of the movable connecting rod 33, is arranged above the ink flow hole 41 to avoid contact between the rotating shaft 333 and the ink, thus preventing problems such as difficulty in rotating the movable connecting rod 33 due to the ink drying out.

[0083] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the movable link 33 further includes a drive part 334, which is connected to the second connecting arm 332. The drive part 334 extends upward to above the partition 4 and can drive the movable link 33 to rotate around the pivot 333.

[0084] By using the drive part 334 arranged on the second connecting arm 332 and extending above the partition plate 4, an external force is applied to the second connecting arm 332 by pressing or pulling the drive part 334. The second connecting arm 332 drives the entire movable link 33 to rotate around the pivot 333, thereby switching between the first position and the second position. As a result, the positions of the first sealing member 311 and the second sealing member 321 change, thus switching between the sealing state and the ink flow state of the self-flowing inkstone.

[0085] Among some possible implementations, refer to Figure 3 In its normal state, the movable link 33 is in the first position. At this time, the first sealing member 311 blocks the ink flow hole 41, and the second sealing member 321 blocks the vent hole 42, thus sealing the inkstone. By pressing the drive unit 334, the second connecting arm 332 moves downward, causing the entire movable link 33 to rotate counterclockwise until the movable link 33 reaches the second position. Figure 4 As shown, at this time, the first sealing member 311 opens the ink flow hole 41, and the second sealing member 321 opens the vent hole 42, so the ink dish is in the ink flow state. When there is enough ink in the ink dish 2 for dipping and use, or after the ink tank is filled with ink, or after the remaining ink in the ink dish is recovered, the drive part 334 is pulled up, so that the second connecting arm 332 moves upward, driving the entire movable connecting rod 33 to rotate clockwise until the movable connecting rod 33 returns from the second position to the first position, the first sealing member 311 and the second sealing member 321 are reset, and the ink flow hole 41 and the vent hole 42 are resealed.

[0086] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the first connecting arm 331 and the second connecting arm 332 are connected at 90°, and the driving part 334 is located at the end of the second connecting arm 332.

[0087] When the movable link 33 is in the first position, the second connecting arm 332 is parallel to the top edge of the partition 4, and the first connecting arm 331 is perpendicular to the top edge of the partition 4.

[0088] With the above arrangement, the drive unit 334 can be directly connected to the end of the second connecting arm 332, and the structure of the control mechanism 3 is simpler. Only a small force needs to be applied to the drive unit 334 to drive the movable connecting rod 33 to rotate.

[0089] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, at least one ramp guide rail 43 is provided on the side of the partition 4 facing the ink disk 2. The at least one ramp guide rail 43 is supported between the partition 4 and the movable connecting rod 33, or at least one ramp guide rail 43 is supported between the partition 4 and at least one of the first sealing member 311 and the second sealing member 321.

[0090] For example, the ramp guide rail 43 is located between the partition plate 4 or the movable connecting rod 33; or the ramp guide rail 43 is located between the partition plate 4 and the first sealing member 311; or the ramp guide rail 43 is located between the partition plate 4 and the second sealing member 321; or the ramp guide rail 43 is provided between the partition plate 4 and the first sealing member 311, and the ramp guide rail 43 is also provided between the partition plate 4 and the second sealing member 321.

[0091] At least one ramp guide rail 43 has its first end located at the first position of the movable link 33, and at least one ramp guide rail 43 has its second end located at the second position of the movable link 33; at least one ramp guide rail 43 protrudes outward along the side of the partition 4, and the protrusion height of the ramp guide rail 43 gradually increases from the first end to the second end.

[0092] Using the gradually increasing height of the inclined guide rail 43, the movable connecting rod 33 drives the first sealing member 311 and the second sealing member 321 to rotate around the rotating shaft 333 from the first position to the second position. As a result, the first sealing member 311 and the second sealing member 321 are gradually lifted, increasing the distance between the first sealing member 311 and the ink flow hole 41 and the partition 4, and increasing the distance between the second sealing member 321 and the vent hole 42 and the partition 4. In this way, the first sealing member 311 can open the ink flow hole 41, and the second sealing member 321 can open the vent hole 42. At the same time, the first sealing member 311 and the partition 4 are no longer in contact, so there will be no excessive friction between them that hinders the movement of the first sealing member 311, and the second sealing member 321 and the partition 4 are no longer in contact, so there will be no excessive friction between them that hinders the movement of the second sealing member 321.

[0093] For example, the first sealing member 311 and the second sealing member 321 are respectively provided with rubber seals, which can improve the sealing effect of the first sealing member 311 and the second sealing member 321. Using the aforementioned inclined guide rail 43, there is no need to worry about the large friction between the rubber seal and the partition 4 hindering movement. There is no frictional contact between the rubber seal and the partition 4, the rubber seal experiences almost no wear, resulting in high reliability and a longer service life.

[0094] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, there are two ramp guide rails 43, one of which is located between the first sealing member 311 and the partition 4, and the other ramp guide rail 43 is located between the second sealing member 321 and the partition 4. Using the two ramp guide rails 43, the first sealing member 311 and the second sealing member 321 can be lifted respectively, thereby opening and closing the ink flow hole 41 and the vent hole 42.

[0095] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the first blocking component 31 further includes a first adsorption member 312; the first adsorption member 312 is located inside the ink flow hole 41 or on the side of the ink flow hole 41 facing the ink tank 1, at least one of the first adsorption member 312 and the first blocking member 311 is a magnetic structure, and the others are magnetic structures or magnetic attraction structures, and the first adsorption member 312 and the first blocking member 311 have a magnetic force that attracts each other.

[0096] In this embodiment, the first sealing component 31 utilizes the magnetic attraction structure formed by the first sealing member 311 and the first adsorption member 312 to provide sealing, pressing, and resetting forces. The magnetic attraction structure is simple in construction and not easily damaged or aged. With the magnetic attraction structure, the magnetic attraction force is large when the first sealing member 311 and the first adsorption member 312 are arranged coaxially, which can ensure a good sealing effect. However, in the area of ​​dense magnetic lines of force that is separated from the coaxial position, the vertical magnetic attraction force weakens rapidly, and the sliding friction force of the first sealing member 311 on the inclined guide rail 43 weakens rapidly, which is very beneficial to the movement operation of the first sealing member 311.

[0097] In some possible implementations, the magnetic structure is made of a permanent magnet material, including alloy permanent magnet materials, ferrite permanent magnet materials, and intermetallic compound permanent magnet materials. The magnetic attraction structure is a ferromagnetic metal, such as iron, nickel, or cobalt, capable of magnetically attracting the magnetic structure made of the permanent magnet material. The magnetic structure generates a magnetic field, within which the magnetic attraction structure reacts, generating a magnetic force that attracts it.

[0098] For example, both the first adsorption member 312 and the first sealing member 311 are magnetic structures; or, the first adsorption member 312 is a magnetic structure and the first sealing member 311 is a magnetic attraction structure; or, the first sealing member 311 is a magnetic structure and the first adsorption member 312 is a magnetic attraction structure.

[0099] In addition, the other components of the inkstone, especially the partition 4 near the first adsorption component 312 and the first sealing component 311, are made of non-magnetic materials, which can avoid magnetic interference to the first adsorption component 312 and the first sealing component 311 and ensure the magnetic attraction effect of the first adsorption component 312 and the first sealing component 311.

[0100] When the external force disappears, the first adsorption component 312 is fixed in position, and the first sealing component 311 is subjected to magnetic attraction, and will automatically return to reset and press against the ink flow hole 41, thus realizing the automation of return and reset.

[0101] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the second sealing component 32 further includes a second adsorption member 322; the second adsorption member 322 is located inside the vent hole 42 or on the side of the vent hole 42 facing the ink tank 1, at least one of the second adsorption member 322 and the second sealing member 321 is a magnetic structure, and the others are magnetic structures or magnetic attraction structures, and the second adsorption member 322 and the second sealing member 321 have a magnetic force that attracts each other.

[0102] In this embodiment, the second sealing component 32 utilizes the magnetic attraction structure formed by the second sealing element 321 and the second adsorption element 322 to provide sealing, pressing, and resetting forces. The magnetic attraction structure is simple in construction and not easily damaged or aged. With the magnetic attraction structure, the magnetic attraction force is large when the second sealing element 321 and the second adsorption element 322 are arranged coaxially, which can ensure a good sealing effect. However, after leaving the area of ​​dense magnetic lines of force at the coaxial position, the magnetic attraction force weakens rapidly, and the sliding friction force of the second sealing element 321 on the inclined guide rail 43 weakens rapidly, which is very beneficial to the movement operation of the first sealing element 311.

[0103] When the external force disappears, the second adsorption component 322 is fixed in position, and the second sealing component 321 is subjected to magnetic attraction, and will automatically return to reset and press the cover on the vent hole 42, thus realizing the automation of return and reset.

[0104] For example, both the second sealing member 321 and the second adsorption member 322 are magnetic structures; or, the second adsorption member 322 is a magnetic structure and the second sealing member 321 is a magnetic structure; or, the second adsorption member 322 is a magnetic structure and the second sealing member 321 is a magnetic structure.

[0105] In addition, the other components of the inkstone, especially the partition 4 near the second sealing component 321 and the second adsorption component 322, are all made of non-magnetic materials, which can avoid magnetic interference to the second sealing component 321 and the second adsorption component 322 and ensure the magnetic attraction effect of the second adsorption component 322 and the second sealing component 321.

[0106] In some embodiments, at least one of the first sealing element 311 and the partition 4 is a magnetic structure, and the others are magnetic or magnetically attracted structures, and the first sealing element 311 and the partition 4 have a magnetic force that attracts each other; in the sealed state, the partition 4 adsorbs and seals the first sealing element 311 onto the ink flow hole 41; and / or, at least one of the second sealing element 321 and the partition 4 is a magnetic structure, and the others are magnetic or magnetically attracted structures, and the second sealing element 321 and the partition 4 have a magnetic force that attracts each other; in the sealed state, the partition 4 adsorbs and seals the second sealing element 321 onto the ink flow hole 41.

[0107] In this embodiment, the first sealing member 311 and the second sealing member 321 can form a magnetic attraction structure with the partition 4 respectively. The first sealing member 311 and the second sealing member 321 can be attracted by the partition 4 respectively, so that the first sealing member 311 and the second sealing member 321 are pressed tightly on the ink flow hole 41 and the vent hole 42 respectively.

[0108] In this embodiment, the movable link 33 can switch between the first position and the second position by the user manually pressing down and manually pulling up the drive unit 334, or by the user manually pressing down and the spring lifting the drive unit 334, or by electric drive.

[0109] For example, both the first sealing element 311 and the partition 4 are magnetic structures; or, the first sealing element 311 is a magnetic structure and the partition 4 is a magnetic attraction structure; or, the partition 4 is a magnetic structure and the first sealing element 311 is a magnetic attraction structure.

[0110] In another example, both the second sealing element 321 and the partition 4 are magnetic structures; or, the second sealing element 321 is a magnetic structure and the partition 4 is a magnetic attraction structure; or, the partition 4 is a magnetic structure and the second sealing element 321 is a magnetic attraction structure.

[0111] Combination Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the self-flowing inkstone also includes a metering device 5, which is located inside the ink tank 1 and is connected to both the ink tank 1 and the ink flow hole 41. The metering device 5 is used to hold a target volume of ink and injects the target volume of ink into the ink dish 2 through the ink flow hole 41 when the self-flowing inkstone is in the ink flow state.

[0112] With the above arrangement, the self-operated ink dish can dispense ink in a measured quantity, improving the efficiency of ink utilization and avoiding ink waste.

[0113] For example, refer to Figure 6 As shown, the metering device 5 is a dammed rib 51 arranged inside the ink tank 1 and surrounding the ink flow hole 41. The cavity enclosed by the dammed rib 51 serves as the metering chamber. When the ink flow hole 41 is opened, only the ink in the metering chamber flows out, while the ink in the ink tank 1 is blocked by the dammed rib 51 and will not flow out. In use, by tilting the ink dish, the ink level on one side of the ink tank 1 is raised above the upper edge of the dammed rib, allowing the ink in the ink tank 1 to pass over the dammed rib 51 and enter the metering chamber. Then, the ink dish is laid flat, and the metering chamber stores the target volume of ink. Excess ink flows back into the ink tank 1. At this time, the ink flow hole 41 is opened, and the ink in the metering chamber can flow into the ink dish 2 through the ink flow hole 41.

[0114] This invention integrates an ink bottle, an ink dish, and an inkstone into one unit. The ink reservoir is used to store ink, the ink dish is used for writing with a brush dipped in ink, and the inkstone board replaces an ordinary inkstone by using an ink block to grind ink. The ink dispensing operation is simple, the ink filling is quick, the residual ink is easy to collect, and there is no ink leakage when tilted or shaken. It is leak-proof, dry-proof, and easy to carry, providing a better experience for calligraphy practitioners.
