DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The utility model will be further explained in detail below by combining with the drawings and through the embodiment, and the following embodiment is the explanation of the utility model and the utility model is not limited to the following embodiment.

[0027] Embodiment: refer to Figure 1 - Figure 3 In the embodiment, a pen for preventing ink from drying is related, which is particularly suitable for the protection requirement of the pen filled with erasable ink and is used to solve the problem of ink drying when the pen is not used for a long time. The pen comprises a pen shell 11, the pen shell 11 is provided with a telescopic pen core 12, one end of the pen shell 11 is elastically connected with a pen cap 13, the pen cap 13 drives the pen core 12 to extend or retract from the core outlet of the pen shell 11 through a telescopic locking mechanism 14, and the pen shell 11 is elastically hinged with an outward opening sealing cover 15.

[0028] Specifically, in the embodiment, the user drives the retractable locking mechanism 14 to drive the refill 12 by pressing the cap 13 during use, the refill 12 pushes the sealing cover 15 to open outward, and the refill 12 is extended from the core outlet to realize writing after being locked. The user retracts the refill 12 by pressing the cap 13 to drive the retractable locking mechanism 14 after use, and the sealing cover 15 is elastically reset after the refill 12 is retracted, so that the refill 12 is sealed in the pen barrel 11, thereby preventing external air from entering the area where the refill 12 is located, and avoiding direct contact between flowing air and the refill 12. Effectively solve the problem of ink drying for a long time, prolong the service life of the pen, and improve the reliable writing ability of the product.

[0029] The retractable locking mechanism 14 in the embodiment includes a tooth seat 21, a tooth column 22, and a first reset spring 23. The tooth seat 21 is not completely engaged with the tooth column 22. One end of the refill 12 is arranged on the tooth seat 21, and a guide groove 24 is formed on the outer periphery of the tooth seat 21. Referring to Figure 7 , a guide strip 25 is arranged in the pen barrel 11 and is slidably matched with the guide groove 24. The tooth column 22 is rotationally arranged in the pen barrel 11, and the cap 13 is arranged at one end of the tooth column 22. One end of the first reset spring 23 is fixed in the pen barrel 11, and the other end is in contact with the cap 13. When the user presses the cap 13, the tooth column 22 rotates and drives the tooth seat 21 to slide along the direction of the guide groove 24. The teeth of the tooth seat 21 will slide along the inclined surface of the teeth of the tooth column 22 that are engaged. In this way, under the action of the inclined surface, the tooth seat 21 will rotate by an angle and slide to the other side. The cap 13 is pressed to make the refill 12 extend from the core outlet of the pen barrel 11 to complete the writing function. After the pressing action is completed, the first reset spring 23 provides a rebound force to make the cap 13 and the tooth column 22 return to the initial position. Thus, the retractable function of the refill 12 of the pen can be realized.

[0030] The refill 12 includes an ink tube 26 and a pen tip 27. The ink tube 26 is filled with erasable ink. The erasable ink has the characteristic of being cleaned by wiping after writing, thereby providing the user with flexible writing and modification functions. The cap 13 is provided with an end head 28 for wiping the erasable ink. The end head 28 is made of wear-resistant rubber or high polymer material, which can effectively clean the erasable ink on the writing surface without damaging the paper surface. At the same time, the heat generated by the friction between the end head 28 and the paper surface can further accelerate the erasing of the erasable ink (heat-sensitive erasable ink).

[0031] In order to solve the problem of avoiding the cap 13 from retracting into the pen barrel 11 when the end head 28 is used to wipe in the inverted pen barrel 11, a locking component 31 is specially arranged at the end of the pen barrel 11. Referring to Figure 4The locking component 31 comprises a lock shell 32, the upper end of the lock shell 32 is provided with a limiting seat 33, the limiting seat 33 is provided with a lock hole 34, the lock hole 34 is provided with a lock core 35, the tooth column 22 is provided with an annular lock groove 36 matched with the lock core 35, the limiting seat 33 is slidably sleeved with a lock sleeve 37, the lock sleeve 37 is provided with an expanding portion 38 matched with the direction of the tooth column 22. Specifically, in the use process, when the user needs to remove the writing traces, the pen shell 11 can be inverted and the wiping operation can be performed by using the end head 28 of the pen cap 13. Referring to Figure 6 At this time, the lock sleeve 37 slides down under the action of gravity, the inner wall of the lock sleeve 37 pushes the lock core 35, so that the lock core 35 falls into the annular lock groove 36 of the tooth column 22, at this time, the tooth column 22 is locked, and the pen cap 13 cannot be pressed. Referring to Figure 5 In the forward use, the lock sleeve 37 is reset, at this time, the lock hole 34 of the limiting seat 33 is located in the expanding portion 38 of the lock sleeve 37, the lock core 35 can be separated from the annular lock groove 36, so that the pressing function of the pen cap 13 and the extension function of the pen core 12 are restored.

[0032] The pen shell 11 comprises a sealing head 41 and a pen barrel 42 which are screwed with each other, the pen core 12 is slidably arranged in the sealing head 41, and the extension locking mechanism 14 further comprises a second reset spring 43 arranged in the sealing head 41 and used for driving the pen core 12 to retract. In the embodiment, the tooth seat 21 is in contact with the pen core 12, and a separated design is adopted between the tooth seat 21 and the pen core 12, so that the pen core 12 cannot be driven to retreat by the first reset spring 23, at this time, the pen core 12 can be driven to retract by the second reset spring 43.

[0033] Referring to Figure 8 The sealing head 41 is sleeved with a flexible holding sleeve 44, the flexible holding sleeve 44 is made of silica gel, elastic plastic or other high polymer materials, which has a soft touch and can provide a certain friction to prevent sliding. On the outer surface of the holding sleeve, a thumb groove 45, an index finger groove 46 and a middle finger limiting groove 47 are arranged according to ergonomics. In the writing process, the user can place the thumb in the thumb groove 45, the index finger in the index finger groove 46, and the knuckles of the middle finger against the limiting groove, so that the three fingers cooperate to enable the pen to maintain the best writing angle, effectively improving the holding stability of the pen.

[0034] The ink pipe 26 is in contact with the tooth seat 21, and the inclined surface of the pen point 27 faces the opening side of the sealing cover 15. So that the sealing cover 15 can be well matched with the pen point 27 during opening and closing. The inclined surface structure of the pen point 27 can reduce the friction resistance between the sealing cover 15 and the pen point 27, and avoid that the sealing cover 15 is damaged due to friction after long-term use, thereby reducing the sealing performance after closing. In the embodiment, one end of the sealing cover 15 is elastically hinged in the pen shell 11 through a torsional spring 51, and the torsional spring 51 drives the sealing cover 15 to close through the elastic force.

[0035] The lock shell 32 is externally provided with a boss 52 which protrudes from the pen shell 11 and can prevent the pen from rolling and breaking on the desktop, and the boss 52 is internally provided with a decorative ball 53, and in addition, the decorative ball 53 can be engraved with user-defined numbers and texts to improve the quality and recognition of the pen.

[0036] The above in the specification is only an example of the utility model. The skilled in the art to which the utility model belongs can make various modifications or supplements to the described specific embodiments or replace with similar ways, as long as not deviating from the content of the utility model specification or beyond the scope defined by the claims, should belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
