Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of graphic design auxiliary tools, and in particular to a 3D modeling pen for graphic design. Background Technology
[0002] Graphic design is a visual creative activity that uses a two-dimensional plane as a medium and employs visual elements such as graphics, text, color, and layout, combined with design principles and creativity, to convey specific information and achieve communication goals.
[0003] In graphic design, design software is used. However, due to the inconvenience of finger control, 3D modeling pens, such as capacitive pens, are commonly used for touch control of the screen. But when designers use graphic design software, some functions need to be used multiple times. Traditionally, this requires stopping the pen, tapping the corresponding function in the graphic design software with the capacitive pen, and then returning to the drawing interface to continue. This results in repeating the process of "drawing-stopping the pen-tapping the screen-drawing again," further reducing drawing efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, we provide a 3D modeling pen based on graphic design. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned technical problems by providing a 3D modeling pen for graphic design, thereby improving drawing efficiency.
[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a 3D modeling pen for planar design, including a capacitive pen. The capacitive pen is triangular in shape and contains a chip inside. The chip is used to receive and transmit signals. Three function buttons are mounted on the outer surface of the chip. The three function buttons have different functions and shapes.
[0007] Preferably, the capacitive pen is shaped like an equilateral triangle, with all corners of the pen being chamfered, and the three sides of the pen corresponding to the designer's thumb, index finger, and middle finger.
[0008] Preferably, the chip is fixedly mounted on a component inside the capacitive pen, the chip is electrically connected to the internal component of the capacitive pen, and the chip is located at the optimal position for the designer to hold the pen.
[0009] Preferably, the function buttons face one of the corners of the capacitive pen, and the three function buttons are respectively arranged in the shape of a regular triangle, an inverted triangle, and a cylinder. The cylinder is located between two triangles, and both triangles are equilateral triangles, which is simple and beautiful.
[0010] Preferably, the function button is inserted into the inner wall of the capacitive pen, and the outer end of the function button extends out of the outer wall of the capacitive pen.
[0011] Preferably, during the use of the capacitive pen, the function button is located on the side away from the designer's palm, between the designer's thumb and index finger after holding the pen.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a 3D modeling pen for graphic design, which has the following advantages:
[0013] 1. This utility model, through the cooperation of the chip and function buttons, firstly facilitates the differentiation of function buttons by their different shapes, avoiding accidental touches. Secondly, when using the device, designers can complete the most frequently used operation commands without having to tap back and forth on the screen. They can simply press the corresponding function button with their index finger to complete the command, without affecting the designer's design process. This further reduces the complexity of operations in graphic design, improves the drawing speed and efficiency of graphic design, and is simple, convenient and easy to learn.
[0014] 2. This utility model, through the design of the triangular capacitive pen 1, enables the capacitive pen 1 to perfectly fit the designer's pen-holding gesture. Furthermore, the triangular shape effectively prevents the capacitive pen 1 from slipping and rotating during use, ensuring the stability of the function button 3 position. At the same time, the chamfered design prevents wear and tear on the designer's hand after prolonged use, ensuring the comfort of using the capacitive pen 1.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0023] Example: Based on a 3D modeling pen used in graphic design, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes a capacitive pen 1, which is triangular in shape. Inside the capacitive pen 1 is a chip 2, which is used to receive and transmit signals. Three function buttons 3 are mounted on the outer surface of the chip 2. The three function buttons 3 have different functions and shapes.
[0024] The capacitive pen 1 is designed as an equilateral triangle, with all corners of the capacitive pen 1 being chamfered. The three sides of the capacitive pen 1 correspond to the designer's thumb, index finger, and middle finger.
[0025] Chip 2 is fixedly installed on the internal components of capacitive pen 1. Chip 2 is electrically connected to the internal components of capacitive pen 1 and is located at the optimal position for the designer to hold the pen.
[0026] Function button 3 faces one of the corners of capacitive pen 1. The three function buttons 3 are respectively set in the shape of a regular triangle, an inverted triangle and a cylinder. The cylinder is located between two triangles. Both triangles are set as equilateral triangles, which is simple and beautiful.
[0027] Function button 3 is inserted into the inner wall of capacitive pen 1, and the outer end of function button 3 extends out of the outer wall of capacitive pen 1.
[0028] During the use of the capacitive pen 1, the function button 3 is located on the side away from the designer's palm, between the designer's thumb and index finger after holding the pen.
[0029] To ensure that the components inside chip 2 and the capacitive pen 1 start and operate simultaneously, chip 2 is electrically connected to the components inside capacitive pen 1. This allows chip 2 and the original components inside capacitive pen 1 to turn on and off synchronously, eliminating the need to install a power supply for chip 2. This further reduces the weight of capacitive pen 1, ensuring its lightweight design. When a designer uses capacitive pen 1, they first need to search for the electrical signal corresponding to chip 2 on the tablet and connect the tablet and chip 2 via the electrical signal. After the connection is complete, the three function buttons 3 are set using the graphic design software on the tablet. For example, the regular triangular chip 2 is for stretching, the cylindrical function button 3 is for saving, and the inverted triangular button is for subtraction. In terms of functionality, when a designer holds the capacitive pen 1, based on their grip habits, their thumb and index finger grip two sides of the pen, while their middle finger supports the other side. When pressing function button 3, the designer's index finger can detach from the pen without losing control. Simultaneously, the index finger can move back and forth, allowing for easy pressing of function button 3 without affecting normal use. The triangular shape of the pen perfectly conforms to the designer's grip, effectively preventing slippage and rotation during use, ensuring the proper positioning of function button 3. To ensure stability, the chamfered design prevents wear and tear on the designer's hand after prolonged use of the capacitive stylus 1, guaranteeing comfortable use. When the designer operates the graphic design software using the capacitive stylus 1, for example, to stretch a sketched circle, there's no need to click the circle's outline and then the corresponding stretch button. Simply click the outline and press the triangular function button 3 with your index finger to stretch the circle. During this process, pressing function button 3 simultaneously presses its corresponding pin, causing a voltage level change. Chip 2 can detect which function button 3 is sending the signal. After receiving the signal, chip 2... Once connected, chip 2 transmits the received signal to the tablet. The tablet then identifies the signal and forwards it to the running graphic design software. The software executes the commands conveyed by the signal, achieving a rapid response. The collaboration between chip 2 and function buttons 3 is beneficial. Firstly, the different shapes of the function buttons 3 make them easy for designers to distinguish, avoiding accidental touches. Secondly, when designers encounter frequently used commands, they don't need to tap back and forth on the screen; they can simply press the corresponding function button 3 with their index finger to complete the command, without affecting their design flow. This further reduces the complexity of graphic design operations and improves the speed of graphic design.It further improves the drawing efficiency of graphic design, and is simple, convenient, and easy to use.
[0030] Working principle: When a designer uses the capacitive pen 1, the first step is to search for the electrical signal corresponding to the tablet chip 2 and connect the tablet and chip 2 via the electrical signal. After the connection between chip 2 and the tablet is complete, the three function buttons 3 are set using the graphic design software on the tablet. For example, the regular triangular chip 2 is for the stretch function, the cylindrical function button 3 is for the save function, and the inverted triangular one is for the subtraction function. When the designer operates the graphic design software using the capacitive pen 1, for example, when stretching a sketched circle, it is not necessary to click the outline of the circle and then click the corresponding stretch button. Simply click the outline of the circle and press the regular triangular function button 3 with the index finger to complete the stretching of the circle.

Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
