Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cultural products, specifically a multifunctional portable ink cartridge. Background Technology

[0002] As one of the Four Treasures of the Study, the inkstone has existed for thousands of years. It is not only a tool for mixing ink but also a decorative art piece beloved by scholars and artists. However, throughout its long history, its basic form has remained largely unchanged, with more emphasis placed on decorative carvings and artistic shapes, neglecting improvements to its functions in assisting writing and grinding ink. Existing inkstones have a relatively simple functional layout, mostly consisting of only a grinding surface for grinding ink and a water reservoir for storing ink. However, in actual use for writing and painting, users often need to constantly test and adjust the ink density. The traditional inkstone structure cannot support such operations, and users usually need to prepare additional bowls and dishes for washing brushes and adding water. Furthermore, the high density of traditional inkstone materials makes them heavy and inconvenient for users to carry around. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides a multifunctional portable ink cartridge with multiple functional areas on the surface, which can realize the testing and mixing of ink while ensuring the portability and lightness of the inkstone, thus meeting the user's carrying needs.

[0004] A multifunctional portable ink cartridge, comprising an inkstone body and an inkstone lid.

[0005] The inkstone body has several recessed inkwell areas, and adjacent inkwell areas are distinguished by raised structures. The inkstone cover is fastened to the upper side of the inkstone body, and the fastening surface of the inkstone cover has raised edges that can fit and engage with the recessed walls of the inkwell areas.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, the inner side enclosed by the raised edge on the inkstone cover is recessed downwards, forming an adjacent ink mixing area and an ink pool area. The ink mixing area extends a longer distance than the ink pool area and has a larger surface area at the bottom of the recess.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the inkstone body has two adjacent inkwell areas, with one inkwell area extending a longer length than the other, forming a larger recessed cavity volume. The protruding structure between the two inkwell areas extends upward to form a partition wall separating the recessed cavities of the two inkwell areas.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the top of the partition wall is inclined to one side of the wall to form a scraper block structure.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the raised edges on the inkstone cover correspond to the recessed cavity walls of the inkstone pool area, and at least one set of clearance notches are formed along the length of the raised edges. When the inkstone cover is fastened to the inkstone body, the raised edges extend into the recessed cavity of the inkstone pool area, and the outer edge of the edges engages with the inner wall of the recessed cavity. The top of the partition wall extends into at least one set of clearance notches on the edges and engages with them. When the inkstone cover is used separately from the inkstone body, the clearance notches serve as a brush rest structure, capable of accommodating the brush holder.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, each set of clearance gaps consists of two clearance gaps that are symmetrical on both sides in the length direction of the protruding edge.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, the edge has two sets of four clearance notches, which are vertically aligned and symmetrically distributed on both sides of the central axis of the inkstone cover.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, the shortest distance L between each set of clearance notches and the protruding edge in the width direction of the inkstone cover is equal to the longest distance Y between the partition wall and the wall of the inkstone pool area. This ensures that the inkstone cover is always engaged with the top of the partition wall from any length direction when it is fastened to the inkstone body.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, the bottom of the inkstone pool area is provided with a slope that slopes inwards from all sides towards the bottom surface. The indented slopes intersect with the bottom surface and together enclose the ink collection area. The lowest point of the ink collection area is located to the side of the center of the bottom surface, and the slope of one side of the indented slope is steeper than that of the other side.

[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, the inkstone body and inkstone cover are made of melamine material.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. This multi-functional portable ink cartridge is made of melamine material, which is resistant to stains and easy to clean. It is suitable for working environments where inkstones are in contact with ink for extended periods of time. Melamine material has a low density, making it easy for calligraphy and painting enthusiasts to carry around.

[0017] Second, this multi-functional portable ink cartridge has two inkwell areas, one large and one small. The water and ink areas can be flexibly allocated according to the size of the brush used, ensuring that the brush is fully wetted and absorbs ink. In addition, the bottom of each inkwell area has a recessed ink collection area. With the different slopes around the ink collection area, the ink can be collected, making it easy to pick up the remaining ink at the bottom of the chamber.

[0018] Third, the partition wall of this multifunctional portable ink cartridge serves as both a divider between the two inkwell areas and a locking strip that engages with the inkstone lid, preventing relative sliding when the lid is closed. Furthermore, since ink contains adhesive, scraping ink from the edge of the inkstone can easily leave ink residue that sticks to the lid, affecting normal use. This design features a scraping baffle at the top of the partition wall to remove excess ink from the brush tip, preventing the inkstone and lid from sticking together.

[0019] IV. This multi-functional portable ink cartridge has a detachable inkstone lid, which can help keep the ink moist when the lid is closed.

[0020] Fifth, the inkstone lid of this multifunctional portable ink cartridge is additionally equipped with an ink mixing area and an ink pool area. Users can add an appropriate amount of concentrated ink in the ink pool area and repeatedly test and adjust the color in the adjacent ink mixing area to facilitate related painting color mixing needs.

[0021] VI. The inkstone lid of this multifunctional portable ink cartridge is secured to the inkstone body by a raised edge to prevent slippage; the edge also has a notch to avoid the partition wall, so as to achieve a matching and fastening of the inkstone lid, and the two ends of the notch are engaged with the partition wall to further limit the horizontal sliding of the inkstone lid; in addition, the notch can be used to place the brush, serving as a brush rest.

[0028] Please see the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 4

[0029] A multifunctional portable ink cartridge includes an inkstone body 1 and an inkstone lid 2.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the inkstone body 1 is rectangular in shape with its upper surface concave downwards, forming two parallel rectangular inkwell areas 101. The two inkwell areas 101 are separated by a partition wall 103. The top of the partition wall 103 is flush with the upper edge of the inkstone body 1, and the top of the partition wall 103 is inclined to one side, forming a pointed shape at the top, which serves as the structure of the ink scraper 102.

[0031] The inkstone pool area 101 on the left side extends laterally longer than the inkstone pool area 101 on the right side, and has a larger cavity volume. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the bottom four walls of the two inkstone pool areas 101 all slope downwards and inwards, intersecting at the bottom to form a recessed ink collection area 1011. Figure 3 As shown, the lowest point of the ink collection area 1011 is located on the horizontal side of the center of the bottom surface, and the slope of the concave slope on one side is steeper than that on the other side.

[0032] The inkstone cover 2 is a rectangular cover that matches the shape of the upper part of the inkstone body 1. The surface of the inkstone cover 2 is concave downward, with two parallel rectangular pits, which serve as the ink mixing area 201 and the ink pool area 202, respectively. The ink mixing area 201 extends a longer distance than the ink pool area 202 and has a larger bottom surface area.

[0033] The concave sidewalls of the ink mixing area 201 and the ink pool area 202 extend upwards, forming raised ridges distributed along the edges of the concavities. The outer edges of these raised ridges correspond to the sidewall contours of the two ink pool areas 101, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, when the inkstone cover 2 is fastened onto the inkstone body 1, the outer edge of the raised ridge matches and engages with the side walls of the two inkstone pool areas 101, restricting the lateral sliding of the inkstone cover 2. Four intermittent notches are provided on the raised ridge as pen rests 203 structures. The four pen rests 203 are vertically aligned and symmetrically distributed on both sides of the center line of the inkstone cover 2. Each pair of vertically aligned pen rests 203 forms a group. When the inkstone cover 2 is fastened in any length direction, one of the two groups of pen rests 203 forms a gap with the partition wall 103. Furthermore, the two ends of the pen rests 203 forming the gap also engage with the upper ends of the partition wall 103, further preventing the inkstone cover 2 from slipping off.

[0034] Operating principle:

[0035] Inkstone Pool Area 101: The two inkstone pool areas 101 can be used differently depending on the specific use of the brush. When using a small or medium-sized brush, the larger inkstone pool area 101 can be used as a water area to soak the brush tip, while the smaller inkstone pool area 101 can be used as an ink area, ensuring that the brush tip can absorb enough ink while saving ink usage.

[0036] Ink Collection Area 1011: The ink collection area 1011 has a concave structure that gathers ink, allowing users to make the most of the ink at the bottom. The lowest point of the ink collection area 1011 is located to the side of the bottom center. The slope of the two sides in the parallel direction is steeper on one side than the other. The distance of the lowest point from the center is designed to match the position of the brush tip against the bottom surface when the brush tip is tilted to dip into the ink. This ensures that the brush tip is fully filled with ink when there is little ink left in the ink cartridge.

[0037] Scraper 102: If the edge of the ink cartridge is simply used as the scraper 102, when scraping off excess ink, ink will inevitably overflow or remain on the outer wall from the edge. The overflowing ink will cause stains on the table, and the glue in the remaining ink will cause the inkstone body 1 and the inkstone cover 2 to stick together and affect the use. Therefore, a scraper 102 structure is specially made on the top of the partition wall 103. The two sides of the scraper 102 are ink pool areas 101 for holding ink. Excess ink dipped in the brush tip can flow back into the clean water or ink in the ink pool area 101 after scraping.

[0038] Ink mixing area 201 and ink pool area 202: When users paint ink paintings, they need to adjust the density and shade of the ink. They can add ink to the ink pool area 202 and add water to the ink mixing area 201 to adjust the color. During the process, they can easily add more ink from the ink pool area 202 to the ink mixing area 201 to continue mixing as needed.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. All variations, modifications and substitutions within the spirit and principle of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
