TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a daily calligraphy brush for writing; in particular, it relates to a brush capable of self-dripping ink. BACKGROUND
[0002] The brush described herein refers to a traditional hand-writing brush, one of the "Four Treasures of the Study".
[0003] Traditional Chinese ink painting, calligraphy and writing tools all rely on the "Four Treasures of the Study". However, in recent years, due to the inconvenience of dipping ink for brush writing, the brush has been gradually replaced by modern technology such as pen and ballpoint pen. However, the artistic qualities of the brush cannot be replaced by all hard pens, so it still has certain value and artistic demand, and is a treasure of Chinese civilization. If the brush can be used without dipping ink, like a pen or a ballpoint pen, and still maintain the artistic qualities of brush writing, learning to write with a brush and using a brush will be more convenient and more people will use it.
[0004] The ink usage of a brush is different from that of a pen or a ballpoint pen. While a pen or a ballpoint pen seeks stable ink supply, a brush seeks artistic qualities of calligraphy. Compared with a pen or a ballpoint pen, a brush not only uses a large amount of ink, but also changes the amount of ink supply according to changes in artistic qualities of calligraphy. Therefore, simply imitating the ink supply method of a pen or a ballpoint pen is not enough. SUMMARY
[0005] The purpose of the present application is to solve the technical problem of using a brush like a pen or a ballpoint pen, without dipping ink, and using the ink multiple times after one-time ink injection, so that traditional ink and inkstone can be abandoned and direct writing can be achieved.
[0006] The main method of the present application is to use the inner cavity of the pen shaft to form an ink storage barrel, and to configure and use the structure of the ink storage barrel with capillary action. At the same time, an ink transfer sheet is arranged in the inner cavity of the connecting sleeve between the pen shaft and the pen hair, and at the upper end of the pen hair, to transfer ink and to sense the relationship between ink usage and supply amount through the ink level on the ink transfer sheet, and then to control the air inlet pipe through the liquid level, so that the ink can be automatically supplied according to the ink usage needs.
[0007] The present application adopts the following specific technical solutions: A brush capable of automatically dripping ink, comprising an ink storage barrel or a pen barrel, a connecting sleeve, an ink delivery sheet, a brush hair, a brush sleeve and the like. The brush is characterized in that the appearance and writing method of a traditional hand-written brush are not changed, the principle of fluid mechanics is applied to automatically drip ink according to the need of using ink, the brush can automatically drip ink like a pen or a ball-point pen, and ink is not needed to be dipped. The ink storage barrel is arranged in the inner cavity of the connecting sleeve to have the function of capillary action, the ink delivery sheet is arranged above the brush hair, the relationship between the amount of ink used and the amount of ink supplied is sensed and reacted by the ink level of the ink delivery sheet, and automatic adjustment is performed. When the amount of ink supplied is greater than the amount of ink used, the brush hair is wet, the ink on the ink delivery sheet penetrates slowly, ink on the ink delivery sheet is gradually retained, the ink level is raised, and the inlet of the air pipe of the ink storage barrel is submerged until the ink storage barrel stops dripping ink. When the amount of ink supplied is less than the amount of ink used, the brush hair tends to be dry, the ink level on the ink delivery sheet is gradually lowered, and the inlet of the air pipe of the ink storage barrel is opened, so that air enters the air pipe and the ink storage barrel starts to drip ink again, thereby achieving the purpose of automatically and timely adjusting the amount of ink supplied according to the need of writing.
[0008] The ink storage barrel also serves as the pen barrel, comprising a connecting port, a dripping hole, an ink storage barrel main body, an air pipe, an ink barrel sealing sheet and a sealing cap. The ink storage barrel is used for storing ink to be used and controlling and dripping ink according to the need of using ink by using capillary action.
[0009] The connecting sleeve comprises an inner thread combination space, an ink delivery sheet space and a brush hair space. The connecting sleeve is not only threadedly and sealingly connected with the ink storage barrel and adhesively connected with the brush hair, but also provides space for the ink storage barrel to drip ink and for the installation and operation of the ink delivery sheet.
[0010] The ink delivery sheet comprises an arc-shaped edge, an ink groove and an ink guide needle. The ink delivery sheet is used for receiving ink dripping from the ink storage barrel and penetrating into the bristles of the brush hair through the ink guide needle. The ink level on the ink delivery sheet can be adjusted according to the use of ink.
[0011] The brush hair is adhesively connected with the connecting sleeve, and the upper part of the brush hair intersects with the ink guide needle of the ink delivery sheet, so that the upper end of the brush hair has a dripping channel.
[0012] The brush sleeve corresponds to the sealing ring on the connecting sleeve, and can be sealingly connected in a dry or wet manner to meet the storage needs.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following positive meanings: 1. The ink storage barrel is used as the pen barrel, ink is directly stored in the pen barrel, a large bottle of ink or an ink stone is not needed to be additionally carried, the appearance of the brush is not changed, and the writing method of the brush is not changed.
[0014] 2. Because a vent tube is installed and the ink level is controlled by the ink delivery plate, the vent tube and the ink dripping from the ink dripping hole can ensure that the ink will not run out at once, and can be adjusted according to the writing speed to meet the needs of calligraphy shaping and momentum.
[0015] 3. No ink residue remains, making it easy to carry, reducing the chance of ink stains, and eliminating the need to clean the inkstone. It is convenient for primary and secondary school students to carry when learning calligraphy, and it also facilitates impromptu creation by calligraphers.
[0016] 4. The fully enclosed pen cap can seal the brush hairs whether dry or wet, and allows the brush hairs to keep moist by not exchanging air with the outside air, making it convenient for storage or writing. Attached Figure Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] The application is a brush that can drip and permeate ink by itself. As shown in the figure, its appearance shape is the same as that of the traditional brush, and the writing method is also unchanged. Only the internal structure and the ink supply method are changed, that is, the dipping method is changed to the method of dripping and permeating ink by itself.
[0022] The specific implementation method is as follows: like Figure 1 As shown, the main components of this application include 1 ink reservoir (pen barrel), 2 connecting sleeve, 3 ink delivery plate, 4 brush bristles, and 5 pen sleeve, and the structure of the ink reservoir is as follows: Figure 2 As shown: The structure of the connecting sleeve is as follows Figure 3 As shown, the structure of the ink delivery plate is as follows: Figure 3 As shown. The structure of the brush bristles and brush cap remains essentially unchanged, therefore no diagram is provided. For details on their relative positions, connections, and functions, please refer to the accompanying diagram descriptions.
[0023] The assembled product of this application is essentially divided into two parts: an ink reservoir and a brush tip, including a connecting sleeve, an ink delivery plate, and brush bristles. These are bonded together with adhesive. Before writing, these two parts must be connected. The connection method is as follows: First, invert the unopened ink reservoir so that the sealing paper of the 101 vent tube faces upwards, then tear off the sealing paper. Second, invert the brush tip and align the inner thread of the connecting sleeve downwards with the thread of the ink reservoir's connection point, then tighten it. Third, flip the entire brush so that the brush bristles are below and the ink reservoir is above. Wait a moment to allow ink to seep into the brush tip before writing.
[0024] Writing: Assuming that there is no ink remaining on the ink delivery plate at the beginning of writing, the vent tube remains open, and ink drips continuously from the ink dripping hole, if the amount of ink used is greater than or equal to the amount of ink dripping, this state will continue, resulting in a continuous ink supply. The brush tip will be in an unsaturated or dry state, suitable for the brushstrokes and dynamic movement of cursive script. If you stop writing between sentences or switch to regular script or running script, and the amount of ink used is less than the amount of ink dripping, the brush tip will gradually become moist. The rate of ink penetration will decrease, and the ink level on the ink delivery plate will gradually rise until the ink submerges the entrance of the vent tube, preventing air from entering the vent tube. At this point, ink can no longer drip from the ink dripping hole, thus achieving the purpose of ink control. If writing continues and ink is consumed unidirectionally, without new ink dripping onto the ink delivery plate, the ink level on the plate will gradually drop, exposing the air inlet of the vent tube. After air enters the vent tube, the ink dripping hole will start dripping ink again. This intermittent ink supply achieves the purpose of automatically dripping ink according to the amount of writing required, thus changing the ink dipping process to automatic ink dripping.
[0025] The above can be seen: when the ink amount is greater than or equal to the ink supply amount, it is in continuous ink supply, when the ink amount is less than the ink supply amount, intermittent ink supply can avoid excessive ink overflow and meet the needs of calligraphy, therefore the basic ink supply amount of the device is designed according to the size of the ink drop hole, which is less than the calligraphy and greater than the running script, so that the writing can be intermittent ink supply, and the calligraphy can be continuous ink supply. In this way, the ink supply mode can make the calligraphy full, the running script graceful and the calligraphy vigorous. In order to change the ink supply amount with the font, it is still divided into large, medium and small calligraphy according to the traditional method.
[0026] During writing, if short-term writing is required, the brush can be inclined on the pen holder (or pen sleeve) according to traditional habits. At this time, the air in the ink storage cylinder near the ink drop hole is full, the ink drop hole will not drip ink outward, and the part of the ink originally retained in the brush will also be re- infiltrated into the ink transfer sheet due to gravity, together with the ink originally retained in the ink transfer sheet, and will not be infiltrated outward. After writing, the pen is collected outside (not at home) using the dry collection method (i.e. without water storage), which directly puts the pen sleeve on the sealing ring of the connecting sleeve to prevent air flow around the brush, and makes the brush on top and the ink storage cylinder on the bottom, so that the ink in the ink storage cylinder will not drip out. When long-term storage is required, the traditional wet storage method with water can also be used. However, unlike the traditional method, the pen sleeve must still be placed upwards and the ink storage cylinder must be placed downwards to prevent the ink in the ink storage cylinder from dripping out.
[0027] Ink filling: during writing, if the ink in the ink storage cylinder is used up, one of the following two methods can be used: 1. Ink filling: first unscrew the sealing cap on the upper part of the ink storage cylinder, then fill the new ink into the syringe, and then inject the ink from the opening of the unscrewed sealing cap, making sure not to inject into the air pipe and the liquid level should not exceed the upper end of the air pipe. After filling, tighten the sealing cap to seal and continue to use. 2. Replace the ink storage cylinder: first unscrew the ink storage cylinder, then assemble it according to the assembly steps of the new ink storage cylinder as described above.
