[0076] The user can operate the timer 10 by pressing the button on the pen cap 4. The timer 10 consumes the power provided by the first battery 6 to operate.

[0077] When lighting is needed, the user can turn on the LED light 17 on the pen cap 4 and use the power of the first battery 6 to provide a light source.

[0078] The electronic devices inside the pen cap 3, such as the indicator light 20, are powered by the second battery 19. When the second battery 19 is low on power, it can be charged through the charging port 21 at the bottom of the pen cap 3.

[0079] In summary, this utility model integrates multiple functions such as a solar charging panel 11, a timer 10, and an LED light 17, thus realizing the multi-functionality of the pen. Through reasonable circuit design, it ensures that the various components can work together efficiently to meet the needs of users in different scenarios.

[0080] Description of relevant application scenarios:

[0081] This invention relates to a pen with a solar charging panel and a timer, making it particularly suitable for examination environments. During exams, test-takers often need to accurately manage their time and allocate it reasonably. The timer function on this pen helps test-takers easily manage their time and avoid affecting their exam performance due to improper time allocation.

[0082] Furthermore, in some exam settings, there may be insufficient lighting. In such cases, the LED light on the pen cap can provide ample light for the test-taker to read the exam paper and write answers. The LED light is also designed to provide soft and even light, so it won't disturb other test-takers.

[0083] More notably, the built-in solar charging panel of this invention can automatically charge under natural light or artificial light in the examination room, eliminating concerns about running out of power. This ensures that functions such as the timer and LED lights can operate normally under common lighting conditions. The solar charging panel 11 can also supplement the power supply to the first battery 6, extending its usage time. This feature is particularly useful for long exams, as it avoids functional failures due to battery depletion.

[0084] In conclusion, the pen of this invention is not only a writing tool but also a reliable exam assistant. It integrates timing, lighting, and automatic charging functions, aiming to create a more convenient and efficient exam experience for test takers.

[0085] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made based on the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings under the present utility model concept, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
