Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of office stationery technology, specifically to an ink cartridge or pen refill storage device. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional ink cartridges or refills are usually packaged in barrels, which require unscrewing the cap to take them out, making them very inconvenient to use.

[0003] Currently, a convenient ink cartridge or pen refill storage device has emerged, such as the ink cartridge or pen refill storage device disclosed in Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication No. CN214297070U. Its structure is as follows... Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a housing 1a with a divider that can be divided into multiple small compartments. A lid 2a is detachably connected to the housing 1a. The lid 2a has a retrieval window with a snap-fit ​​cover 3a. One side of the snap-fit ​​cover 3a is rotatably connected to the retrieval window, and the other side snaps into the window. The lid 2a includes an upper cover 4a and a lower cover 5a, with the upper cover 4a rotatably mounted on the lower cover 5a. This ink cartridge or refill storage device allows the retrieval window of the lid 2a to be opened simply by flipping the snap-fit ​​cover 3a upwards, eliminating the need to unscrew the lid 2a. This makes it convenient to use. Furthermore, once the ink cartridge in one of the compartments is empty, rotating the upper cover 4a allows the ink cartridges in other compartments to be retrieved.

[0004] However, existing ink cartridge or refill storage devices still have the following technical problems: Although flipping the snap-on cap 3a is more convenient than tightening or loosening the cap, it still requires more steps to take out. Not only do you have to flip the snap-on cap 3a upwards, but you also have to take out the ink cartridge or refill from the retrieval window, and finally close the snap-on cap 3a. In addition, when the ink cartridge in a small compartment is used up, you have to rotate the top cover 4a to take out the ink cartridge or refill from the retrieval window. Therefore, it is still not very convenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an ink cartridge or pen refill storage device that is more convenient to use.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is: an ink cartridge or pen refill storage device, including a housing, and further comprising:

[0007] An inclined plate, which is fixedly installed at an angle inside the box, is used to store ink cartridges or pen refills;

[0008] Remove the window, which is located on the housing, for sliding out a single ink cartridge or pen refill from the ramp;

[0009] A baffle is movably disposed within the box and located between the lower side of the inclined plate and the retrieval window, for opening or blocking the retrieval window, the baffle having an open position and a blocked position;

[0010] The lead ejection channel is provided on the baffle for a single ink cartridge or pen refill to slide down the inclined plate. When the baffle is in the blocked position, the lead ejection channel is offset from the extraction window. When the baffle is in the open position, the lead ejection channel is connected to the extraction window.

[0011] A button is provided on the box body and connected to the baffle. Pressing the button switches the baffle between an open position and a closed position.

[0012] The working principle of this utility model's ink cartridge or pen refill storage device is as follows:

[0013] During normal storage, the baffle is in the blocked position, and the lead ejection channel is offset from the retrieval window. When the retrieval window is closed, the ink cartridge or pen refill on the inclined plate cannot slide down the lead ejection channel from the retrieval window, thus keeping the ink cartridge or pen refill on the inclined plate. When it is necessary to retrieve the pen, press the button, and the baffle switches to the open position, connecting the lead ejection channel to the retrieval window. The retrieval window opens, and an ink cartridge or pen refill automatically slides down the inclined plate into the lead ejection channel by its own gravity and can then slide out automatically through the retrieval window without manual removal. Releasing the button switches the baffle back to the blocked position, and so on. Each time the button is pressed, only one ink cartridge or pen refill can be retrieved from the retrieval window.

[0014] With the above structure, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0015] This utility model's ink cartridge or refill storage device features a closed baffle and retrieval window during normal storage, with the ink cartridge or refill stored on a sloping plate. When retrieving the ink cartridge or refill, simply press a button to open the retrieval window, allowing the ink cartridge or refill to automatically slide out using its own gravity, eliminating the need for manual removal. Simultaneously, ink cartridges or refills at higher positions on the sloping plate are automatically replenished to the lower side. Releasing the button closes the retrieval window again. The entire operation requires only pressing a button, achieving one-button storage and retrieval for greater convenience. Furthermore, each button press retrieves only one ink cartridge or refill, ensuring orderly storage and retrieval.

[0016] Preferably, the baffle is slidably mounted inside the box and located above the inclined plate. The button is located at the top of the box. The top of the baffle is connected to the button, and the bottom of the baffle is connected to the box via a resilient reset member. This layout is reasonable; placing the button at the top of the box conforms to user habits, and placing the resilient reset member at the bottom of the baffle facilitates the implementation of the button-pressing mechanism.

[0017] Preferably, the baffle includes a first stop and a second stop. The second stop is connected below the first stop and near the extraction window. A gap exists between the second stop and the first stop, allowing a single ink cartridge or refill to pass through, forming the extraction channel. Releasing the button allows an ink cartridge or refill on the baffle to enter the extraction channel through the bottom of the first stop, while the second stop blocks the extraction window. Pressing the button causes the first stop to move down, blocking ink cartridges or refills outside the extraction channel, and the second stop moves down out of the extraction window. This design not only controls the opening and closing of the extraction window using the second stop of the baffle but also uses the first stop to orderly control the ink cartridges or refills entering the extraction channel, ensuring that only one ink cartridge or refill can be retrieved at a time. Furthermore, it ensures that there is always one ink cartridge or refill in the extraction channel before the extraction window opens, making retrieval faster and more reliable.

[0018] Preferably, a first actuating part is provided on the first stop portion and on the side near the second stop portion, for pushing the ink cartridge or pen refill in the lead-out channel toward the extraction window when the first stop portion moves downward. This arrangement makes it easier for the ink cartridge or pen refill in the lead-out channel to slide out of the extraction window, thereby ensuring reliable retrieval.

[0019] Preferably, a second actuating part is provided on the first stop portion and on the opposite side of the second stop portion. This actuating part is used to actuate the ink cartridge or refill on the lower side of the inclined plate upward when the first stop portion moves upward, so that the ink cartridge or refill close to the refill channel can slide down smoothly. This arrangement allows the second actuating part to actuate the ink cartridge or refill on the lower side of the inclined plate upward when multiple ink cartridges or refills are stacked on the inclined plate, thereby offsetting the pressure on the ink cartridge or refill close to the refill channel and allowing it to slide down smoothly.

[0020] Preferably, the first stop and the second stop are connected by connecting parts on the left and right sides. The housing is provided with guide seats that slide vertically with the two connecting parts. The baffle slides vertically within the housing via the connecting parts and the guide seats. This design not only connects the first and second stop using the connecting parts but also utilizes the cooperation between the connecting parts and the guide seats to achieve the vertical sliding structure of the baffle, resulting in a simple and ingenious structure.

[0021] Preferably, one of the guide seat and the connecting part is provided with a limiting groove and the other is provided with a limiting block. When the connecting part slides up and down relative to the guide seat, the limiting block slides up and down relative to the limiting groove. This arrangement not only uses the limiting block and the limiting groove to further guide the up and down movement of the baffle, but also limits the extreme movement position of the baffle.

[0022] Preferably, two elastic reset members are provided. A limiting post is provided at the bottom of the connecting portion, and a limiting seat is provided at the bottom of the guide seat. One end of each elastic reset member is sleeved on the limiting post, and the other end is mounted on the limiting seat. Using two elastic reset members results in a better pressing effect and smoother baffle movement. Furthermore, the guide seat is cleverly utilized to install the elastic reset members, making the structure simpler and more compact.

[0023] Preferably, the extraction window is located at the lower part of the cartridge body. This arrangement reduces the sliding height of the extraction window, making it less likely to damage the ink cartridge or refill.

[0024] Preferably, the top of the cartridge has a detachable cover, and the button is located on the cover. This design allows for easy replenishment of ink cartridges or refills into the cartridge for reuse. Attached image description:

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0037] Example:

[0038] like Figure 2-9 As shown, an ink cartridge or refill storage device includes a housing 1, and further includes:

[0039] Inclined plate 2, which is inclined and fixed inside the box 1, is used to store ink sacs or pen refills 19.

[0040] Take out window 3, which is set on the housing 1, for sliding out a single ink cartridge or pen refill 19 on the inclined plate 2;

[0041] The baffle 4 is movably disposed inside the box body 1 and located between the lower side of the inclined plate 2 and the take-out window 3, for opening or blocking the take-out window 3. The baffle 4 has an open position and a blocked position.

[0042] The lead outlet channel 5 is set on the baffle 4 and is used to pass a single ink cartridge or pen refill 19 that slides down the inclined plate 2. When the baffle 4 is in the blocked position, the lead outlet channel 5 is offset from the take-out window 3. When the baffle 4 is in the open position, the lead outlet channel 5 is connected to the take-out window 3.

[0043] Button 6 is movably mounted on the housing 1 and connected to the baffle 4. Pressing button 6 switches the baffle 4 between the open position and the closed position.

[0044] In this embodiment, the ink sac or pen refill 19 is a cylinder, with its top, bottom, left, right, front, and back positions arranged according to... Figure 2 As the standard.

[0045] In this embodiment, the ink cartridge or refill storage device closes the retrieval window 3 when the baffle 4 is in normal storage, and the ink cartridge or refill 19 is stored on the inclined plate 2. When it is necessary to retrieve the ink cartridge or refill 19, simply press the button 6 to open the retrieval window 3 on the baffle 4. The ink cartridge or refill 19 will then automatically slide out of the retrieval window 3 by its own gravity, without the need for manual retrieval. At the same time, the ink cartridges or refills 19 at the higher end of the inclined plate 2 will also be automatically replenished to the lower end of the inclined plate 2. After releasing the button 6, the baffle 4 will close the retrieval window 3 again. The entire operation process only requires pressing the button 6, realizing a one-click storage and retrieval function, which is more convenient to use. In addition, each press of the button 6 can only retrieve one ink cartridge or refill 19, which also realizes orderly storage and retrieval.

[0046] The baffle 4 slides up and down inside the box body 1 and is located above the inclined plate 2. The button 6 is located on the top of the box body 1. The top of the baffle 4 is connected to the button 6, and the bottom is connected to the box body 1 through the elastic reset member 7. When the button 6 is pressed, the baffle 4 moves to the open position; when the button 6 is released, the baffle 4 moves to the closed position. This layout is reasonable. Placing the button 6 on the top of the box body 1 conforms to user habits, and placing the elastic reset member 7 at the bottom of the baffle 4 facilitates the implementation of the button 6 pressing mechanism.

[0047] The baffle 4 includes a first stop 8 and a second stop 9. The second stop 9 is connected below the first stop 8 and is located near the extraction window 3. There is a gap between the second stop 9 and the first stop 8, allowing a single ink cartridge or refill 19 to pass through, forming an extraction channel 5. When the button 6 is released, the baffle 4 is in the blocked position. An ink cartridge or refill 19 on the inclined plate 2 enters the extraction channel 5 through the bottom of the first stop 8, and the second stop 9 blocks the extraction window 3, so that the extraction window 3 will remain blocked in the extraction channel before it opens. One ink cartridge or refill 19 is temporarily stored in channel 5. When button 6 is pressed, baffle 4 moves to the open position. The first stop 8 moves down to block the ink cartridge or refill 19 outside the refill channel 5, and the second stop 9 moves down out of the retrieval window 3, allowing the ink cartridge or refill 19 inside the refill channel 5 to slide out of the retrieval window 3. In this embodiment, when baffle 4 is in the blocking position, there is a gap between the bottom of the first stop 8 and the inclined plate 2 that allows a single ink cartridge or refill 19 to pass through, further ensuring that only one ink cartridge or refill 19 can be retrieved at a time. This setting not only uses the second stop 9 of baffle 4 to control the opening and closing of the retrieval window 3, but also uses the first stop 8 of baffle 4 to orderly control the ink cartridge or refill 19 entering the refill channel 5, ensuring that only one ink cartridge or refill 19 can be retrieved at a time. In addition, before the retrieval window 3 is opened, it is ensured that there is one ink cartridge or refill 19 in the refill channel 5, thus making retrieval faster and more reliable.

[0048] A first actuating part 10 is provided on the first stop part 8 and on the side near the second stop part 9. This actuating part 10 is used to push the ink cartridge or pen refill 19 in the lead outlet channel 5 toward the extraction window 3 when the first stop part 8 moves downward. This arrangement makes it easier for the ink cartridge or pen refill 19 in the lead outlet channel 5 to slide out of the extraction window 3, thereby ensuring the reliability of retrieval.

[0049] A second actuating part 11 is provided on the first stop part 8 and on the opposite side of the second stop part 9. This actuating part 11 is used to push the ink cartridge or pen refill 19 on the lower side of the inclined plate 2 upward when the first stop part 8 moves upward, so that the ink cartridge or pen refill 19 close to the refill channel 5 can slide down smoothly. This arrangement allows the second actuating part 11 to push the ink cartridge or pen refill 19 on the lower side of the inclined plate 2 upward when multiple ink cartridges or pen refills 19 are stacked on the inclined plate 2, thereby offsetting the pressure on the ink cartridge or pen refill 19 close to the refill channel 5, and thus allowing the ink cartridge or pen refill 19 close to the refill channel 5 to slide down smoothly.

[0050] The first stop 8 and the second stop 9 are connected by connecting parts 12 on the left and right sides. The housing 1 is equipped with guide seats 13 that slide vertically with the two connecting parts 12. The baffle 4 slides vertically within the housing 1 via the connecting parts 12 and the guide seats 13. This design not only utilizes the connecting parts 12 to connect the first stop 8 and the second stop 9, but also utilizes the cooperation between the connecting parts 12 and the guide seats 13 to achieve the vertical sliding structure of the baffle 4. The structure is simple and ingenious.

[0051] One of the guide seat 13 and the connecting part 12 is provided with a limiting groove 14 and the other is provided with a limiting block 15. When the connecting part 12 slides up and down relative to the guide seat 13, the limiting block 15 slides up and down relative to the limiting groove 14. In this embodiment, the limiting groove 14 is provided on the guide seat 13 and the limiting block 15 is provided on the connecting part 12. This arrangement not only uses the limiting block 15 and the limiting groove 14 to further guide the up and down movement of the baffle 4, but also limits the extreme movement position of the baffle 4.

[0052] Two elastic reset elements 7 are provided. A limiting post 16 is provided at the bottom of the connecting part 12, and a limiting seat 17 is provided at the bottom of the guide seat 13. One end of each elastic reset element 7 is sleeved on the limiting post 16, and the other end is mounted on the limiting seat 17. In this embodiment, the elastic reset element 7 is a spring. Providing two elastic reset elements 7 results in a better pressing effect and smoother movement of the baffle 4. Furthermore, the guide seat 13 is cleverly used to install the elastic reset elements 7, making the structure simpler and more compact.

[0053] The extraction window 3 is located at the bottom of the cartridge 1. This design reduces the sliding height of the extraction window 3, making it less likely to damage the ink cartridge or refill 19.

[0054] The top of the cartridge 1 has a detachable cover 18, and a button 6 is located on the cover 18. This design allows for easy replenishment of ink cartridges or refills 19 into the cartridge 1 for recycling.

[0055] The working principle of the ink cartridge or refill storage device in this embodiment is as follows:

[0056] During normal storage, button 6 is released, baffle 4 is in the blocked position, the second stop 9 blocks the retrieval window 3, and the lead outlet channel 5 is offset from the retrieval window 3. There is a gap between the bottom of the first stop 8 and the inclined plate 2, allowing one ink cartridge or pen refill 19 to pass through. One ink cartridge or pen refill 19, close to the lower side of the inclined plate 2, enters the lead outlet channel 5 through the bottom of the first stop 8. However, because the retrieval window 3 is closed, the ink cartridge or pen refill 19 in the lead outlet channel 5 cannot slide off the retrieval window 3. In addition, since the lead outlet channel 5 can only accommodate one ink cartridge or pen refill 19, the remaining ink cartridges or pen refills 19 on the inclined plate 2 remain on the inclined plate 2. During normal storage, the lead outlet channel 5 temporarily stores only one ink cartridge or pen refill 19. When it is necessary to retrieve the pen, button 6 is pressed, and baffle 4 moves to the open position. The first stop 8 moves down to block the ink cartridge or pen refill 19 outside the lead outlet channel 5, and the second stop 9 moves down to the extraction window 3. The lead outlet channel 5 is connected to the extraction window 3. The extraction window 3 opens, and an ink cartridge or pen refill 19 temporarily stored in the lead outlet channel 5 slides out of the extraction window 3 automatically by its own gravity and the action of the first actuating part 10 of the baffle 4, without manual removal. When the button 6 is released, the elastic reset part 7 drives the baffle 4 to move up to the blocking position. During the upward movement of the baffle 4, the second actuating part 11 pushes the ink cartridge or pen refill 19 on the lower side of the inclined plate 2 upward, so that the ink cartridge or pen refill 19 close to the lead outlet channel 5 can slide down smoothly, so that the pen refill on the higher side of the inclined plate 2 can be smoothly replenished to the lower side of the inclined plate 2. In this way, each time the button 6 is pressed, only one ink cartridge or pen refill 19 can be taken out from the extraction window 3.
