Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of stationery technology, and in particular to a double-ended crayon for adults. Background Technology
[0002] Double-ended crayons are a popular and common drawing tool enjoyed by both children and adults. Crayons are generally made from a mixture of paraffin wax and pigments; due to the hardness of paraffin wax, their double-ended structure allows them to produce two colors.
[0003] Existing crayons are usually made into sticks and then wrapped in a layer of wrapping paper. The wrapping paper prevents the crayon wax from sticking to your hands, making it easy to use and store. To use, simply tear off the wrapping paper at the end to expose the crayon.
[0004] When tearing open the packaging, fingernails may damage the crayon tip, causing it to break during use. This results in poor performance due to the instability of the tip. Additionally, most existing crayons are straight and cannot be extended, leaving the tip exposed after the packaging is removed, which can lead to accidental application during use.
[0005] The structure of crayons needs to be improved to enhance their effectiveness. Utility Model Content
[0006] This invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as exposed and non-retractable nibs, resulting in poor usability. It provides a double-ended crayon for adults with a retractable nib to prevent accidental smudging and improve usability.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a double-ended crayon for adults, comprising:
[0008] Two outer tubes, the inner wall of which is provided with a spiral guide groove;
[0009] Two inner tubes are sleeved with corresponding outer tubes, and the inner tubes are provided with guide grooves on their side walls;
[0010] Two sets of sliders are placed inside corresponding inner tubes. A rod core is installed on the top of each slider. A guide block is provided on the outer wall of the slider. The guide block passes through the guide groove and is embedded in the guide rail groove.
[0011] The center block has a double-headed structure, with its two ends respectively rotatably connected to the corresponding outer tube and its two ends respectively connected to the corresponding inner tube.
[0012] This crayon includes two sets of outer tubes, inner tubes, sliders, and a center block. The outer tube serves as the crayon's grip, and the inner tube is fitted inside the outer tube. The slider is located inside the inner tube, and a crayon core is mounted on the slider. Different sliders have different colored cores, allowing a single crayon to have two colors. A guide groove with a spiral arrangement is provided on the inner wall of the outer tube. A guide groove is provided on the inner tube, and a guide block is provided on the outer side of the slider. This guide block can slide within the guide groove, and its end is embedded in the guide groove. A center block with a double-ended structure is located at the lower end of the outer tube; both ends of the center block are fitted onto the outer tube, allowing for a rotatable connection. Both ends of the center block are connected to the inner tube. With the center block fixed, when the outer tube is rotated, the inner tube and outer tube rotate relative to each other. At the same time, the slider placed inside the inner tube can move vertically along the guide groove under the guidance of the guide groove and guide rail groove, thereby allowing the crayon tip to enter and exit the outer tube and achieve a telescopic action. When not in use, rotating the outer tube allows the tip of the crayon tip to be stored inside the outer tube. This structure enables the telescopic storage of the crayon tip, ensuring that the tip is not accidentally used when not in use and improving the usage effect.
[0013] Preferably, the guide groove is a strip-shaped groove, arranged coaxially with the inner tube. Stop grooves are connected to the upper and lower ends of the guide groove, and these stop grooves are arranged radially with the inner tube. Specifically, the guide groove is a strip-shaped groove, vertically arranged, and coaxial with the inner tube. Stop grooves are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the guide groove, radially arranged with the inner tube. The guide block can enter the stop groove along the guide groove. When the guide block slides into the upper stop groove, the rod core stops extending outwards; when the guide block slides into the lower stop groove, the rod core stops retracting, completing the storage of the pen tip. This structure enables the extension and retraction of the rod core, thereby improving the usability.
[0014] Preferably, the top of the slider is provided with a mounting groove, and the inner wall of the mounting groove is provided with several retaining strips. The retaining strips are arranged coaxially with the mounting groove, and the rod core is engaged with the retaining strips. Specifically, the mounting groove at the top of the slider and the several retaining strips on the inner wall of the mounting groove are arranged vertically. The rod core is engaged in the mounting groove. The retaining strips improve the fixing and engaging effect of the rod core, ensuring the stability of the rod core when entering and exiting the outer tube, and improving the performance.
[0015] Preferably, the guide block includes a connecting rod and a guide wheel. The guide wheel is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting rod, the connecting rod is placed in a guide groove, and the guide wheel is placed in a guide rail groove. Specifically, the guide block includes a connecting rod and a guide wheel. The connecting rod is connected to the side wall of the slider and is arranged at an angle matching the guide rail groove. Simultaneously, the guide wheel is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting rod, causing relative rotation between the guide wheel and the connecting rod. The connecting rod, placed in the guide groove, can slide along the guide groove, while the guide wheel is embedded in the guide rail groove and can slide within it. This structure allows the slider to move axially within the inner tube through the relative rotation of the outer and inner tubes, thereby driving the pen tip to press tightly against the outer tube. When not in use, the pen tip retracts, preventing accidental application and improving usability.
[0016] Preferably, the lower inner wall of the guide rail groove is provided with several limiting grooves, and the guide wheel is fitted into the limiting grooves. Specifically, the several limiting grooves on the lower inner wall of the guide rail groove are evenly spaced. When the guide wheel slides along the guide rail groove, it contacts the upper inner wall of the guide rail groove, thus guiding the movement. When the rod core is adjusted outwards, the guide wheel is embedded in the limiting groove, ensuring that the rod core will not move during use, guaranteeing the stability of the rod core, and improving the performance.
[0017] Preferably, a locking block is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the outer tube, and a locking groove is provided at the middle of the outer wall of both ends of the central block. The locking block is engaged with the locking groove, and a spring is sleeved in the locking groove. The two ends of the spring are in contact with the end face of the locking block and the inner wall of the locking groove, respectively. The outer tube has a locking block at the bottom of its inner wall that engages with an annular groove in the middle of the outer wall of the center block. This structure allows for the rotational connection between the outer tube and the center block. A spring is also installed in the groove, engaging with it. The two ends of the spring contact the end face of the locking block and the inner wall of the groove, respectively. The spring's elasticity ensures a stable connection between the center block and the outer tube. When the center block is pressed down, the guide wheel contacts the upper inner wall of the guide rail groove, facilitating the rotation of the center block to extend the adjustment rod. When the center block is adjusted, the spring's elasticity pushes it outward, allowing the guide wheel to be stably embedded in the limiting groove. This improves the stability of the rod during drawing, ensuring optimal performance.
[0018] Preferably, the end face of the locking block is provided with an annular positioning groove, and the inner wall of the lower end of the groove is provided with an annular positioning block, which is embedded in the positioning groove. Specifically, the positioning groove on the end face of the locking block is annular, and the positioning block on the inner wall of the lower end of the groove is embedded in the positioning groove. When the center block is pressed down, the positioning block contacts the bottom surface of the positioning groove, ensuring stable contact between the guide wheel and the guide rail groove, thus guaranteeing stable guiding effect and improving its performance.
[0019] Preferably, the upper end of the outer tube is provided with a conical opening, the conical opening having an inner wall that contacts the rod core. The conical opening at the upper end of the outer tube has a conical outer contour and is internally a hollow tube, ensuring stable support for the extended rod core and guaranteeing good performance.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the axial movement of the slider inside the inner tube can be achieved by rotating the central block, so that the stick core can be extended when in use and retracted into the outer tube when not in use, avoiding accidental application and thus improving the use effect; several limiting grooves are provided on the lower surface of the guide rail groove, which can match and correspond to the guide wheel. When the guide wheel is engaged in the limiting groove, the extended stick core is stabilized, ensuring good use effect; the spring installed on the central block can improve the stability of the guide wheel embedded in the limiting groove, thereby improving the use effect of the crayon when drawing.

[0039] A locking block 12 is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the outer tube 1, and a locking groove 40 is provided in the middle of the outer wall of the center block 4. The locking block 12 is engaged with the locking groove 40, and a spring 41 is sleeved on the locking groove 40. The two ends of the spring 41 are in contact with the end face of the locking block 12 and the inner wall of the locking groove 40, respectively.
[0040] The end face of the card block 12 is provided with an annular positioning groove 13, and the inner wall of the lower end of the card groove 40 is provided with an annular positioning block 42, which is embedded in the positioning groove 13.
[0041] The upper end of the outer tube 1 is provided with a retractable head 14, which has a conical structure and the inner wall of the retractable head 14 is in contact with the rod core 5.
[0042] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Figure 1-5 As shown, this crayon includes two sets of outer tubes 1, inner tubes 2, sliders 3, and a center block 4. The outer tube 1 serves as the crayon's grip, the inner tube 2 is fitted inside the outer tube 1, and the slider 3 is placed inside the inner tube 2, with the crayon core 5 mounted on it. A guide groove 10, spirally arranged, is provided on the inner wall of the outer tube 1. A guide groove 20 is provided on the inner tube 2, and a guide block 30 is provided on the outer side of the slider 3. This guide block 30 can slide within the guide groove 20, and its end is embedded in the guide groove 10. A center block 4, a double-ended structure, is located at the lower end of the outer tube 1. Both ends of the center block 4 are fitted onto the outer tubes 1, allowing the two outer tubes 1 to be rotatably connected to the center block 4. Simultaneously, both ends of the center block 4 are connected to the inner tube 2. With the fixed center block 4 in place, when the outer tube 1 is rotated, the inner tube 2 rotates relative to the outer tube 1. At the same time, the slider 3 placed inside the inner tube 2 can move vertically along the guide groove 20 under the guidance of the guide groove 20 and the guide rail groove 10, thereby enabling the crayon core 5 to enter and exit the outer tube 1 and achieve telescopic action. When not in use, rotating the outer tube 1 allows the tip of the crayon core 5 to be stored inside the outer tube 1. This structure enables the telescopic storage of the crayon core 5, ensuring that the tip of the crayon core 5 is not accidentally painted when not in use, thus improving the usage effect.
[0043] The guide groove 20 is a strip-shaped groove, and it is vertically arranged and coaxial with the inner tube 2. At the same time, a stop groove 21 is provided at the upper and lower ends of the guide groove 20. The stop groove 21 is radially arranged with the inner tube 2. The guide block 30 can enter the stop groove 21 along the guide groove 20. When the guide block 30 slides into the upper stop groove 21 along the guide groove 20, the rod core 5 stops extending outward. When the guide block 30 slides into the lower stop groove 21 along the guide groove 20, the rod core 5 stops retracting, thus completing the storage of the pen tip of the rod core 5. This structure can realize the extension and retraction of the rod core 5, thereby improving the usage effect.
[0044] The slider 3 has a mounting groove 31 at its top and several locking strips 32 on its inner wall. The locking strips 32 are arranged vertically. The rod core 5 is inserted into the mounting groove 31. The locking strips 32 can improve the fixing and locking effect of the rod core 5, ensure the stability of the rod core 5 when entering and exiting the outer tube 1, and improve the use effect.
[0045] The guide block 30 includes a connecting rod 33 and a guide wheel 34. The connecting rod 33 is connected to the side wall of the slider 3 and is arranged at an angle that matches the guide groove 10. The guide wheel 34 is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting rod 33, so that the guide wheel 34 and the connecting rod 33 rotate relative to each other. The connecting rod 33 is placed in the guide groove 20 and can slide along the guide groove 20. At the same time, the guide wheel 34 is embedded in the guide groove 10 and can slide within the guide groove 10. This structure allows the slider 3 to move axially within the inner tube 2 through the relative rotation of the outer tube 1 and the inner tube 2, thereby driving the core 5 to press against the outer tube 1. When not in use, the tip of the core 5 retracts to avoid accidental application and improve the application effect.
[0046] Several limiting grooves 11 are provided on the inner wall of the lower end of the guide rail groove 10. These limiting grooves 11 are arranged at equal intervals. When the guide wheel 34 slides along the guide rail groove 10, the guide wheel 34 contacts the inner wall of the upper end of the guide rail groove 10 to slide along the guide rail groove 10, which plays a guiding role. When the extension adjustment of the rod core 5 is completed, the guide wheel 34 is embedded in the limiting groove 11 to ensure that the rod core 5 will not move during use, thus ensuring the stability of the rod core 5 and improving the use effect.
[0047] The outer tube 1 has a locking block 12 at the bottom of its inner wall that engages with an annular groove 40 in the middle of the outer wall of the center block 4. This structure allows for the rotational connection between the outer tube 1 and the center block 4. A spring 41 is installed in the groove 40, engaging with it. The two ends of the spring 41 contact the end face of the locking block 12 and the inner wall of the groove 40, respectively. The spring force of the spring 41 ensures a stable connection between the center block 4 and the outer tube 1. When the center block 4 is pressed down, the guide wheel 34 contacts the upper inner wall of the guide rail groove 10, facilitating the rotation of the center block 4 to extend the adjustment rod 5. When the adjustment of the center block 4 is complete, the spring force of the spring 41 pushes the center block 4 outwards, allowing the guide wheel 34 to be stably embedded in the limiting groove 11. This improves the stability of the rod 5 during drawing, ensuring good performance.
[0048] The card block 12 has a positioning groove 13 on its end face. The positioning groove 13 is annular. At the same time, a positioning block 42 is provided on the inner wall of the lower end of the card slot 40. The positioning block 42 is embedded in the positioning groove 13. When the center block 4 is pressed down, the positioning block 42 contacts the bottom surface of the positioning groove 13, which can ensure that the guide wheel 34 is in stable contact with the guide rail groove 10, thereby ensuring stable guiding effect and improving its use effect.
[0049] A retractable head 14 is provided on the upper end of the outer tube 1. The outer contour of the retractable head 14 is tapered, and the inside of the structure is a hollow tube. This structure can ensure stable support for the extended rod core 5 and ensure good performance.
