[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, this utility model provides an upper cover 1 and a bottom box 2, which are sealed together. The bottom box 2 contains a brush placement area 3 for placing brushes and an inkstone trough 4 for storing ink. A moisturizing area 5 is located below the brush tip inside the bottom box 2 to keep the brush tip moist. A sealing part 6 is located at the bottom of the upper cover 1. When the upper cover 1 and the bottom box 2 are closed, the sealing part 6 seals the inkstone trough 4. It is understood that after the upper cover 1 and the bottom box 2 are closed, the sealing part 6 can seal the inkstone trough 4, preventing ink leakage and ensuring that the ink can be stored in the inkstone trough 4. Used brushes are placed in the brush placement area 3, and when needed again, they can be simply removed and used directly.

[0033] It should be noted that the moisture in the moisturizing area 5 can keep the tip of the brush moist for a long time, ensuring that the tip of the brush will still be moist when the top cover 1 is opened next time, so that it can be taken out and used directly.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this utility model allows the brush tip to be kept moist for a long time through the moisturizing area 5, making it easy to use directly when taken out next time, achieving a no-wash effect. In addition, the sealing part 6 allows the ink to be stably stored in the inkstone trough 4, making it easy to open and use directly next time without the need for additional ink preparation, eliminating the traditional steps of grinding or pouring ink. The whole process is simple to operate and the user experience is better.

[0035] Furthermore, the moisturizing area 5 is provided with a groove 7, and a water-retaining sponge 8 is installed inside the groove 7. On the one hand, the water-retaining sponge 8 can keep the inside of the base box 2 moist, that is, it can keep the tip of the brush moist for a long time; on the other hand, the groove 7 and the water-retaining sponge 8 can be used to catch ink dripping from the tip of the brush, preventing the dripping ink from staining other areas, thus improving the user experience.

[0036] Furthermore, the upper cover 1 is provided with an air extraction device and a vent switch. The air extraction device includes a control module and an air pump connected to the control module. The inner side of the upper cover 1 is provided with a vent hole 9 and an air extraction hole 10 communicating with the interior of the bottom box 2. The air extraction hole 10 is connected to the air pump through a pipe, and the vent hole 9 is connected to the vent switch.

[0037] Understandably, the air pump can extract air from the bottom box 2 through the air extraction hole 10, creating a negative pressure state inside the bottom box 2. This makes the contact between the sealing part 6 and the inkstone groove 4 more stable, and the sealing connection between the top cover 1 and the bottom box 2 more stable, preventing moisture loss from the bottom box 2 and ensuring that the tip of the brush remains moist for a long time. When the user needs to use the brush again, the air release switch can be used to allow external air to enter the bottom box 2 through the air release hole 9, thereby changing the negative pressure state inside the bottom box 2 to a normal state, allowing the top cover 1 and the bottom box 2 to be opened and the brush to be taken out.

[0038] Furthermore, a Hall sensor is installed inside the base box 2 to detect when the upper cover 1 and the base box 2 are closed. The Hall sensor is connected to the control module. When the upper cover 1 and the base box 2 are closed, the Hall sensor can detect the closing command between the upper cover 1 and the base box 2. At this time, the Hall sensor transmits the closing signal to the control module, and the control module controls the air pump to work, that is, to create a negative pressure state inside the base box 2.

[0039] Furthermore, the upper cover 1 is equipped with a pressure sensor for detecting the internal air pressure of the bottom box 2, and the pressure sensor is connected to the control module. It should be noted that when there is air leakage between the upper cover 1 and the bottom box 2, the negative pressure state inside the bottom box 2 will gradually return to normal. At this time, when the pressure sensor detects that the air pressure inside the bottom box 2 is lower than a preset value, the pressure sensor will transmit a low-pressure signal to the control module. The control module will then control the air pump to operate, ensuring that the air pressure inside the bottom box 2 is always maintained within a preset range. This prevents severe air leakage between the upper cover 1 and the bottom cover, which could lead to moisture loss from the bottom box 2, resulting in poor moisture retention at the tip of the brush and making it difficult to directly remove the brush for use next time.

[0040] Furthermore, the brush placement area 3 is provided with a plurality of first brush holders 11 for placing brushes, and the inner side of the upper cover 1 is provided with a second brush holder 12 adapted to the first brush holders 11. When the upper cover 1 is closed with the bottom box 2, the brush abuts against the first brush holders 11 and the second brush holders 12. It can be understood that when the upper cover 1 is closed with the bottom box 2, the first brush holders 11 and the second brush holders 12 will clamp the brush together to prevent the brush from loosening and being damaged.

[0041] Furthermore, both the first brush holder 11 and the second brush holder 12 are made of soft rubber, such as silicone. The use of soft rubber in the first brush holder 11 and the second brush holder 12 can prevent damage to the brush when clamping it, and can also allow the first brush holder 11 and the second brush holder 12 to clamp the brush better.

[0042] Furthermore, the first brush holder 11 and the second brush holder 12 are provided with a plurality of recesses 13 adapted to the brush. The recesses 13 can prevent the first brush holder 11 and the second brush holder 12 from damaging the brush when clamping the brush, and can also enable the first brush holder 11 and the second brush holder 12 to clamp the brush better.

[0043] Furthermore, a sealing element 14 is provided at the bottom of the sealing part 6. When the upper cover 1 and the bottom box 2 are closed, the sealing part 6 is sealed to the inkstone groove 4 through the sealing element 14. The sealant improves the airtightness of the connection between the sealing part 6 and the inkstone groove 4, that is, it provides a better sealing effect.

[0044] Furthermore, the upper cover 1 is equipped with a display screen 15 and an operation button 16, which are connected to the control module. The operation button 16 allows adjustment of the content displayed on the display screen 15, which can display parameter information of the pressure sensor, the Hall sensor, etc., facilitating a clearer understanding of the internal structure of the bottom box 2 for the user.

[0045] Furthermore, both the top surface of the bottom box 2 and the top surface of the top cover 1 are provided with sealing rings 17. When the top cover 1 is closed with the bottom box 2, the top cover 1 is sealed to the bottom box 2 through the sealing rings 17. The sealing rings 17 enable better airtightness of the connection between the top cover 1 and the bottom box 2.

[0046] Furthermore, the upper cover 1 is hinged, snap-fitted, or magnetically attached to the bottom box 2. It should be noted that the hinged connection between the upper cover 1 and the bottom box 2 means that they can fold together to close; the snap-fit ​​connection means that they are detachably connected; and the magnetic attachment connection allows for quick closing, providing a better user experience.

[0047] In summary, the intelligent ink cartridge provided by this utility model not only moisturizes the brush but also prevents dripping ink from staining other areas. The recessed portion allows the first and second brush holders to better clamp the brush. The sealing element and sealing ring improve the airtightness of the connection between the sealing part and the inkstone groove, and between the top cover and the bottom box. With this utility model, after using the brush, it is placed in the bottom box, and then the top and bottom covers are closed, allowing the sealing part to seal the inkstone groove, preventing ink leakage. The moisturizing area keeps the brush tip moist, meaning the brush can be directly removed for the next use, achieving a brush-free cleaning effect after use.

[0048] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims. All of these forms are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
