[0008] A pen body having a first direction, and a receiving hole extending along the first direction is formed at an end of the pen body;

[0009] A positioning structure fixedly installed in the receiving hole, and a through hole extending along the first direction is formed in the positioning structure;

[0010] A buffer member, which is installed through the through hole, is in limit cooperation with the positioning structure along the first direction, and the buffer member has a buffer portion protruding from one end of the positioning structure away from the pen body;

[0011] A silica gel sleeve, which is installed at one end of the positioning structure away from the pen body and covers the buffer portion, is in locking cooperation with the positioning structure along the first direction, and there is a buffer gap between the silica gel sleeve and the buffer portion.

[0012] Furthermore, the maximum distance of the buffer gap in the first direction is any dimension between 0.2 mm and 0.4 mm.

[0013] Furthermore, the buffer portion is a hemispherical buffer portion, the center of the buffer portion is coaxially arranged with the axis of the through hole, the end of the silica gel sleeve is a hemispherical end, and the hemispherical end is in concave-convex cooperation with the hemispherical buffer portion.

[0014] Furthermore, a stop portion is provided on the hole wall of the through hole, a protrusion portion is provided on the buffer member, the protrusion portion is in limit cooperation with the stop portion along the first direction, and the buffer portion is in limit cooperation with the end of the positioning structure along the first direction.

[0015] Furthermore, the through hole is a stepped through hole, the stop portion is an annular stop surface, and the stop portion protrudes toward the center of the through hole along a plane perpendicular to the first direction.

[0016] Furthermore, the positioning structure is a positioning sleeve, a threaded post section is provided on the positioning structure, a threaded hole section is provided on the hole wall of the accommodating hole, and the threaded post section is matched with the threaded hole section.

[0017] Furthermore, a first convex edge is further provided on the positioning structure, the first convex edge is located at the end of the threaded post section, a first groove is provided on the hole wall of the accommodating hole, the first groove is located at the end of the threaded hole section, and the first convex edge is in stop cooperation with the first groove along the first direction.

[0018] Furthermore, a second groove is provided on the positioning structure, a second convex edge is further provided on the silica gel sleeve, and the second convex edge is in locking cooperation with the second groove.

[0019] Furthermore, a third groove is further provided on the positioning structure, the second groove and the third groove are spaced apart along the first direction, a third convex edge is further provided on the silica gel sleeve, and the third convex edge is in positioning cooperation with the third groove.

[0020] Further, an enlarged hole section is provided at the end of the accommodation hole. The silica gel sleeve is clamped between the hole wall of the enlarged hole section and the positioning structure, and a conductive cloth is coated on the silica gel sleeve.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effect of the pen tip structure of the electronic pen of the present utility model is as follows: The pen tip structure of the electronic pen adopts the design form of a pen body, a positioning structure, a buffer member, and a silica gel sleeve. An accommodation hole extending in the first direction is provided at the end of the pen body. The positioning structure is fixedly installed in the accommodation hole. A through hole extending in the first direction is provided on the positioning structure. The buffer member is installed through the through hole. Moreover, the buffer member has a buffer portion protruding from the end of the positioning structure away from the pen body.

[0022] Using the positioning structure as the installation basis of the buffer member, the position of the buffer member in the pen body along the first direction is reliably defined by the positioning structure, ensuring the relative position of the buffer member and the pen body is fixed, and ensuring that the buffer portion can be stably maintained at the end of the positioning structure, thereby effectively supporting the silica gel sleeve inside.

[0024] In addition, a buffer gap is provided between the silica gel sleeve and the buffer portion of the buffer member. During touch use, pressing the silica gel sleeve causes it to undergo elastic extrusion deformation. The buffer gap is compressed until the silica gel sleeve comes into extrusion contact with the buffer portion, and the buffer portion plays a role in strengthening the supporting force on the silica gel sleeve. It is precisely because the buffer gap is designed between the silica gel sleeve and the buffer portion of the pen tip of the electronic pen that the silica gel sleeve has a soft initial stage and a strong later stage tactile effect. Even if the pen tip of the electronic pen is accidentally impacted, the buffer portion can effectively buffer the impact and prevent the situation where the silica gel sleeve collapses and deforms and is difficult to reset.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific situations.

[0033] Such as Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, a pen tip structure of an electronic pen according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a pen body 1, a positioning structure 2, a buffer member 3, and a silicone sleeve 4. The pen body 1 has a first direction X, and an accommodation hole 10 extending along the first direction X is formed at the end of the pen body 1; the positioning structure 2 is fixedly installed in the accommodation hole 10, and a through hole 20 extending along the first direction X is formed inside the positioning structure 2; the buffer member 3 is installed through the through hole 20, the buffer member 3 is in limit fit with the positioning structure 2 along the first direction X, and the buffer member 3 has a buffer portion 30 protruding from one end of the positioning structure 2 away from the pen body 1; the silicone sleeve 4 is installed at one end of the positioning structure 2 away from the pen body 1 and covers the buffer portion 30, the silicone sleeve 4 is in locking fit with the positioning structure 2 along the first direction X, and a buffer gap 40 is provided between the silicone sleeve 4 and the buffer portion 30.

[0034] The pen tip structure of the electronic pen adopts the design form of the pen body 1, the positioning structure 2, the buffer member 3 and the silicone sleeve 4. An accommodation hole 10 extending along the first direction X is formed at the end of the pen body 1. The positioning structure 2 is fixedly installed in the accommodation hole 10. A through hole 20 extending along the first direction X is formed on the positioning structure 2. The buffer member 3 is installed through the through hole 20. Moreover, the buffer member 3 has a buffer portion 30 protruding from one end of the positioning structure 2 away from the pen body 1.

[0035] Using the positioning structure 2 as the installation base of the buffer member 3, the position of the buffer member 2 in the pen body 1 along the first direction X is reliably limited by the positioning structure 2, ensuring the relative position between the buffer member 2 and the pen body 1 is fixed, and ensuring that the buffer portion 30 can be stably maintained at the end of the positioning structure 2, thereby effectively supporting the silicone sleeve 4 inside.

[0036] Among them, the silicone sleeve 4 is installed at one end of the positioning structure 2 away from the pen body 1 and covers the buffer portion 30. The silicone sleeve 4 is in locking fit with the positioning structure 2 along the first direction X, and a buffer gap 40 is provided between the silicone sleeve 4 and the buffer portion 30. The positioning structure 2 can play a role in locking and limiting the silicone sleeve 4, ensuring that the silicone sleeve 4 is reliably installed at the end of the positioning structure 2 and preventing the possible detachment during the use of the pen tip.

[0037] In addition, a buffer gap 40 is provided between the silicone sleeve 4 and the buffer portion 30 of the buffer member 3. During touch use, the silicone sleeve 4 is pressed to cause elastic extrusion deformation. The buffer gap 40 is compressed until the silicone sleeve 4 is in extrusion contact with the buffer portion 30, and the buffer portion 30 plays a role in strengthening the supporting force on the silicone sleeve 4. It is precisely because the buffer gap 40 is designed between the silicone sleeve 4 and the buffer portion 30 of the pen tip of the electronic pen that the silicone sleeve 4 has a soft initial section and a strong later section tactile effect. Even if the pen tip of the electronic pen is accidentally impacted, the buffer portion 30 can effectively buffer the impact and prevent the silicone sleeve 4 from collapsing and deforming and being difficult to reset.

[0038] In this embodiment, the maximum distance D of the buffer gap 40 in the first direction is any dimension between 0.2 mm and 0.4 mm, that is, the initial touch distance of the pen tip is 0.2 mm to 0.4 mm, which better conforms to the squeezing force degree of the user's touch operation. Specifically, the buffer portion 30 is a hemispherical buffer portion, the center of the buffer portion 30 is coaxially arranged with the hole axis of the through hole 20, the end of the silica gel sleeve 4 is a hemispherical end 41, and the hemispherical end 41 is in concave-convex fit with the hemispherical buffer portion. The buffer member 3 is a silica gel buffer rod, and a hemispherical buffer portion is integrally formed at its end, and the touch smoothness of the hemispherical end 41 is better.

[0039] As a further preferred solution, a stop portion 21 is provided on the hole wall of the through hole 20, a protrusion portion 31 is provided on the buffer member 3, and the protrusion portion 31 and the stop portion 21 are in limit fit along the first direction X, and the buffer portion 30 and the end of the positioning structure 2 are in limit fit along the first direction X. Specifically, the through hole 20 is a stepped through hole, the stop portion 21 is an annular stop surface, and the stop portion 21 protrudes toward the center of the through hole 20 along a plane perpendicular to the first direction X.

[0040] By using the limit fit between the protrusion portion 31 of the buffer member 3 and the annular stop surface of the stepped through hole, and moreover, the limit fit between the buffer portion 30 and the end of the positioning structure 2, both of these limit fit positions are in the first direction X and are arranged in opposite directions, which reliably limits the relative position of the buffer member 3 on the positioning structure 2 and ensures that the buffer portion 30 plays an effective supporting role inside the silica gel sleeve 4.

[0041] In this embodiment, the positioning structure 2 is a positioning sleeve, the positioning sleeve is made of a metal material, a threaded column section 22 is provided on the positioning structure 2, and a threaded hole section 11 is provided on the hole wall of the accommodating hole 10, and the threaded column section 22 is matched with the threaded hole section 11. Since the positioning structure 2 and the pen body 1 are assembled by means of threads, it is convenient for the assembly operation of the positioning structure 2 and at the same time ensures the assembly accuracy.

[0042] Moreover, a first convex edge 23 is further provided on the positioning structure 2, the first convex edge 23 is located at the end of the threaded column section 22, a first groove 12 is provided on the hole wall of the accommodating hole 10, the first groove 12 is located at the end of the threaded hole section 11, and the first convex edge 23 and the first groove 12 are in stop fit along the first direction X. The stop fit between the first convex edge 23 of the positioning structure 2 and the first groove 12 of the accommodating hole 10 effectively limits the threaded assembly position of the positioning structure 2 in the first direction X.

[0043] As a further preferred solution, a second groove 24 is provided on the positioning structure 2, and a second convex edge 42 is further provided on the silica gel sleeve 4. The second convex edge 42 is in clamping fit with the second groove 24. A third groove 25 is further provided on the positioning structure 2. The second groove 24 and the third groove 25 are spaced apart along the first direction X. A third convex edge 43 is further provided on the silica gel sleeve 4. The third convex edge 43 is in positioning fit with the third groove 25. By using the second groove 24 and the third groove 25 of the positioning structure 2 to be in positioning fit with the second convex edge 42 and the third convex edge 43 of the silica gel sleeve 4 respectively, the installation reliability of the silica gel sleeve 4 on the positioning structure 2 is ensured.

[0044] In addition, a reamed section 13 is provided at the end of the receiving hole 10. The silica gel sleeve 4 is clamped between the hole wall of the reamed section 13 and the positioning structure 2, and a conductive cloth 5 is coated on the silica gel sleeve 4. The conductive cloth 5 is adhered to the outer surface of the silica gel sleeve 4 through a back adhesive. The positioning structure 2 and the reamed section 13 of the receiving hole 10 together play a limiting role perpendicular to the first direction X on the silica gel sleeve 4, ensuring that the silica gel sleeve 4 is firmly clamped in the second groove 24 and the third groove 25 of the positioning structure 2, and ensuring the installation stability of the silica gel sleeve 4.

[0045] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, several improvements and replacements can be made, and these improvements and replacements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
