[0021] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other. The present utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] In the embodiments of the present invention, if there are directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), they are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0023] In addition, in the present invention, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 The tail cap plug-in switch mechanism of the embodiment of the utility model includes a USB bracket, an FPC unit and a pluggable and slidable tail cap arranged on the tail of the USB bracket. The USB bracket is arranged in the pen body (pen holder). A Typc-c seat is arranged on the tail of the USB bracket. When the tail cap is pulled out, the mechanism at the tail of the USB bracket can be exposed, and when the tail cap is inserted back, the mechanism at the tail of the USB bracket (Typc-c seat) can be hidden, which is very beautiful and meets the user's design needs. This part is an existing structure.

[0025] The FPC unit is arranged on the USB bracket, and a conducting part and a contact switch for connecting with the conducting part are arranged on the FPC unit. The conducting part is a copper-plated point on the FPC unit. A corresponding isolating piece is arranged in the tail cap for connecting and disconnecting the contact switch and the conducting part. When the tail cap is pulled out, the isolating piece is separated from the contact with the contact switch and the conducting part, and the contact switch and the conducting part are connected and conducted; when the tail cap is covered, the isolating piece is inserted between the contact switch and the conducting part, and the contact switch and the conducting part are disconnected; and then the whole pen can be turned on and off by plugging and unplugging the isolating piece.

[0026] As an embodiment, the contact switch is a switch spring. When the tail cap is reset, the isolation sheet is located between the switch spring and the conducting part. When the tail cap is pulled open, the isolation sheet, the switch spring and the conducting part fall off and contact, and the switch spring and the conducting part abut and conduct. One end of the switch spring is connected to the FPC unit, and the other end is bent and keeps in contact with the conducting part. The switch spring and the conducting part are electrically connected to the circuit on the FPC unit.

[0027] As an implementation method, a hook portion is convexly provided on the end of the USB bracket, and a corresponding barb portion is provided on the inner wall of the front end of the tail cap. When the tail cap is pulled out, the hook portion and the barb portion are restrained against each other to prevent the tail cap from falling off.

[0028] As an implementation method, a sliding sheet is provided inside the tail cap, and a convex point is provided on the sliding sheet, and the convex point can be made of an elastic material. Two corresponding limit grooves are concavely provided on the USB bracket, and the two limit grooves are respectively located at the beginning and end of the stroke of the convex point following the plugging and unplugging of the tail cap. When the tail cap is pulled out, the convex point is embedded in the limit groove at the end; when the tail cap is reset, the convex point is embedded in the limit groove at the front end, which can prevent the tail cap from shaking when it is reset and pulled out, and enable the user to feel whether the tail cap is plugged in place, and can improve the damping of the tail cap when it slides, and improve the plugging and unplugging feel of the tail cap.

[0029] The electronic pen of the embodiment of the utility model adopts a tail cap plug-in switch mechanism.

[0030] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
