[0023] When this pen is in use, once the pen tip is used up, simply place any object (e.g., a fingernail, a needle, etc.) against the locking block inside the locking slot to move the locking block inward, thereby unlocking the locking member and the locking slot. At this time, the reset member drives the pen tip to move away from the outer casing, allowing a new pen tip and the locking member to be inserted back into the receiving cavity through the first opening. The upper end of the locking block on the side of the locking member engages with the upper side wall of the locking slot, thereby locking the pen tip. The locking member, the outer casing, and the pen tip are locked together, completing the replacement of the pen tip.
