Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0041] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0042] Example 1: Reference Figure 1-13 As shown, the present invention discloses a dot matrix pen, including a shell 1, a bracket 2 and a pen core 3, a groove 21 is arranged at the middle part of the outer side of the bracket 2, a strip groove 22 is arranged at the bottom of the groove 21, a connecting piece 4 is arranged in the groove 21, a protruding edge is arranged inwardly at the edge of the groove 21, and outer edges are also arranged on both sides of the corresponding connecting piece 4 to realize the axial sliding of the connecting piece 4 in the groove 21; one end of the connecting piece 4 is connected to the pen core 3, the other end of the connecting piece 4 is connected to a connecting rod 5, the other end of the connecting rod 5 is connected to a cross-shaped slide 6, one end of the cross-shaped slide 6 is sleeved with a compression spring 7, and a limiting mechanism 8 is arranged on the inner side of the bracket 2 above the strip groove 22.

[0043] By applying a thrust to the cross-shaped slide 6 , the cross-shaped slide 6 moves forward, thereby driving the connecting rod 5 to realize the movement of the connecting member 4 , and further driving the pen core 3 to extend.

[0044] When the refill 3 is in the extended state, the limiting mechanism 8 limits the connecting member 4, thereby maintaining the refill 3 in the extended state.

[0045] When a thrust is applied to the cross-shaped slide 6 again, the connecting rod 5 is driven to achieve a further slight movement of the connecting member 4 to release the restriction of the limit mechanism 8, so that the cross-shaped slide 6 can move back under the action of the compression spring 7, thereby achieving the retraction of the pen core 3.

[0046] Preferably, the upper end surface of the connecting member 4 is provided with a cylindrical groove 41, and the cylindrical groove 41 is used to plug the pen core 3, and the two side edges of the cylindrical groove 41 are provided with protruding clamping edges 411 to increase the stability of the pen core 3, and the end of the cylindrical groove 41 is provided with a square hole 42 that penetrates the connecting member 4, and the lower end surface of the connecting member 4 connected to the square hole 42 is provided with a square groove 43, and the square groove 43 is connected to the square hole 42, and a pressure sensor 421 is movably installed in the square hole 42 and abuts against the tail of the pen core 3. The pressure sensor 421 is connected to a connecting spring piece 422, and the connecting piece 422 is fixed in the square groove 43, and the connecting spring piece 422 is used to give support force to the pressure sensor 421 to achieve relative fixation of the pressure sensor 421 in the square hole 42. When the pen core 3 is writing, the tail of the pen core 3 is more sensitive to the pressure detection of the pressure sensor 421, and the detection distortion of the pressure sensor 421 will not be caused by excessive force when writing.

[0047] The connecting piece 422 is connected to the circuit board of the dot matrix pen through a wire. It should be pointed out that the bracket 2 of the dot matrix pen of the present application is provided with a battery slot 201 and a clamping column for clamping the built-in electronic components, which are all prior arts and will not be described in detail. At the same time, the electronic components involved in the present application only need to make adjustments to their sizes for suitability.

[0048] Preferably, the connecting member 4 is further provided with an L-shaped connecting hole 44 and an arc-shaped column head 45 . The arc-shaped column head 45 is located on one side of the square groove 43 of the connecting member 4 . The arc-shaped column head 45 protrudes from the lower end surface of the connecting member 4 and extends longitudinally.

[0049] Preferably, a through hole 61 is provided at the center of the cross-shaped slide 6 , and the through hole 61 is used to connect one end of the connecting rod 5 , and the other end of the connecting rod 5 is connected to the L-shaped connecting hole 44 .

[0051] Preferably, a switch 20 is installed on the bracket 2, and the switch 20 includes a housing 201, two spaced connecting pieces 202, a V-shaped spring piece 203 and a rotating tongue 204; the V-shaped spring piece 203 is arranged in the rotating tongue 204, and one end of the V-shaped spring piece 203 abuts against the other connecting piece 202.

[0052] The connecting member 4 slides stably in the groove 21, thereby driving the arc-shaped column head 45 to slide in the strip groove 22. As the arc-shaped column head 45 slides, the rotating tongue 204 is pressed to rotate, so that the other end of the rotating tongue 204 contacts one of the connecting pieces 202, thereby realizing the connection between the two spaced connecting pieces 202. The two spaced connecting pieces 202 are connected to the circuit board through wires, so that the dot matrix pen can be turned on, and the power-on is realized at the same time as the pen core is extended.

[0053] Preferably, a cavity 23 for sliding is provided at the tail of the bracket 2, and the cross-shaped slide 6 is located in the cavity 23 and reciprocates. The sliding manner of the cross-shaped slide 6 in the cavity 23 makes the retraction of the pen core 3 smoother, and a cylindrical tube 62 is provided at the other end of the cross-shaped slide 6.

[0054] Preferably, a threaded ring 24 is fixedly provided at the end of the bracket 2, and the threaded ring 24 is used to install a spherical cap 25.

[0056] By pressing the pressing column 27 with a finger, the pressing column 27 extends into the cylindrical tube 62 to push the cross-shaped slide 6 to slide in the cavity 23, thereby driving the connecting rod 5 to realize the movement of the connecting member 4, and then driving the pen core 3 to extend. Then, after releasing the finger, the pressing column 27 recovers under the action of the conical compression spring 26; when the pen core 3 needs to be retracted, it is only necessary to press the pressing column 27 again.

[0057] The limiting mechanism 8 is used to limit the clamping of the arc-shaped column head 45 , and the side of the arc-shaped column head 45 is provided with a bevel clamping joint adapted to the limiting mechanism 8 .

[0058] Among them, the limiting mechanism 8 is a prior art and will not be described in detail. In order to fix the limiting mechanism 8 when the pen core 3 is extended and release the limit by pressing again, a beveled clamping joint adapted to the limiting mechanism 8 is provided on the side of the arc-shaped column head 45.
