Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of stationery storage, and in particular to a push-to-pop type children's marker box. Background Technology
[0002] Markers are commonly used stationery for children's drawing and learning, and their storage containers are mostly traditional pencil cases or pencil pouches. Existing pencil cases have certain drawbacks: First, multiple markers mixed together require repeated searching to find the right one, and after being put away, they tend to pile up messily, wasting time and making it difficult to maintain tidiness; second, some pencil cases with fixed structures only use simple slots or elastic elements for locking, requiring manual prying to retrieve the markers, which is inconvenient and can easily cause wear and tear on the markers; third, some storage devices do not adequately consider children's safety, having sharp edges or excessive force when popping out, posing a risk of hand injuries.
[0003] Chinese Patent Application No. CN202222765362.2, titled "A Marker Pen Packaging Box," discloses the following technical solution in paragraph
[0004] : "This utility model achieves the above-mentioned objective through the following technical solution: a marker pen packaging box, comprising: a box body, a box cover provided on one side of the box body, and a fixing and limiting mechanism for fixing and limiting the marker pens inside the box body, wherein the fixing and limiting mechanism is provided between the box body and the box cover... leading to a reduction in the lifespan of the marker pens." The invention achieves the following beneficial effects: "1. By setting a limiting component, two squeezing blocks are moved synchronously when the box cover is closed... thus making the marker pens safer to move; 2. By setting a second spring and a third spring... when the box cover is opened, the second spring and the third spring reset, which can reset the squeezing plate and the limiting plate, facilitating the insertion and removal of the marker pens."
[0004] However, while existing technologies disclose marker storage boxes with spring-loaded retaining structures, they only secure the pens themselves and cannot easily eject or accurately return individual pens to their designated positions. This fails to address the core pain points of low pen retrieval efficiency and disorganized storage. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a marker box that combines convenient retrieval, orderly storage, and child safety features. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a press-to-pop type children's marker box to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0022] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0023] Example 1 Please refer to Figure 1 -7.
[0024] This embodiment provides a push-to-pop type children's marker pencil case, including a main body 1. The main body 1 is made of ABS environmentally friendly plastic and is RoHS certified. It has a rectangular structure and a battery compartment is reserved at the bottom of the main body 1. An optional LED lighting module can be installed to adapt to low-light environments and improve the convenience of use for children.
[0025] The main body 1 of the box has a square (or pentagonal, or other polygonal) array-style mounting cavity 2. An array of mounting cavities inside is used to fix the positioning socket 3 and the push-to-pop unit. The array-style mounting cavity 2 houses the push-to-pop unit, and a positioning socket 3, which fits snugly into the array-style mounting cavity 2, is placed on top of the push-to-pop unit. The inner hole of the positioning socket 3 is used to hold the marker body 4. The positioning sockets 3 are arranged in an array of 12 or 24 squares, with color-coded markings on the outer wall to suit children's cognitive habits. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the push-to-pop children's marker box (without a lid) according to this utility model. When the lid is closed, the exterior is a cuboid, and the internal shape is not visible.
[0026] The press-to-pop unit consists of a pressure cap 5, a guide rail block 6, a spring 7, and a locking element 8. The guide rail block 6 is equipped with a spiral guide rail 9, and the locking element 8 has a locking point 10 that can slide along the spiral guide rail 9. A cover 11 is installed on the main body 1. Each press-to-pop unit measures 15mm × 15mm × 80mm and is coaxially fixed with the positioning socket 3. The pressure cap 5 features a rounded transition design to avoid sharp edges. The reset spring 7 is a miniature compression spring with a spring constant of 5N / m and a spring force ≤0.8N. During operation, pressing the pressure cap 5 triggers the locking element 8 to rotate, and the locking element 8 engages with the guide rail slot to pop out the pen body. The pop-out height is 5-8mm for easy gripping. When pressed again, the locking element 8 disengages from the slot, and the spring 7 resets, causing the pen body to retract.
[0027] In the embodiments of this utility model application, please refer to Figure 2 A cushioning silicone pad 12 is provided between the press-to-pop unit and the positioning socket 3 for buffering. The positioning socket 3 is equipped with a cushioning silicone pad 12 to reduce impact damage when the marker returns to its position.
[0028] In the embodiments of this utility model application, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The number of locking points 10 is the same as the number of spiral guide rails 9. One locking point 10 corresponds to one spiral guide rail 9, and two locking points 10 correspond to two spiral guide rails 9. The more pairs, the smoother the operation. In this embodiment, two locking points 10 and two spiral guide rails 9 are used. Under the action of external force, the locking points 10 move along a fixed trajectory, thereby driving the movement of the locking member 8. This structure in this solution is the same as the principle of the inclined sliding locking mechanism of a ballpoint pen. Since it is existing technology, it will not be described in detail here.
[0029] In the embodiments of this utility model application, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7The lid 11 and the main body 1 of the box are provided with magnetic suction parts 13. The magnetic suction closure structure is adopted, and the opening force is ≤2N, which is suitable for children's hand strength and ensures that the lid 11 is firmly closed and easy to open.
[0030] In the embodiments of this utility model application, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The bottom of the positioning socket 3 is provided with a drainage groove 14. The drainage groove 14 at the bottom can prevent residual ink from leaking and accumulating on the pen body.
[0031] In the embodiments of this utility model application, please refer to Figure 6 The inner hole of the positioning socket 3 has a conical cavity structure. The 15 adopts a "wider at the top and narrower at the bottom" conical cavity structure, and its inner diameter is controlled within ±0.5mm of the pen body 4 to ensure accurate positioning of the marker.
[0032] This embodiment provides a push-to-pop children's marker box. During assembly, first, the spring 7 is fitted into the bottom of the guide rail block 6, then the locking member 8 is installed at the position of the spiral guide rail 9 in the middle of the guide rail block 6, and then the assembled push-to-pop unit is fixed in the cavity of the box body 1; the buffer silicone pad 12 is pasted to the bottom of the positioning socket 3, and after the drainage groove 14 is opened, the positioning socket 3 and the push-to-pop unit are coaxially connected and fixed; finally, the magnetic component of the box cover 11 is installed to complete the overall assembly. This embodiment provides a push-to-pop type children's marker case. In normal use, open the magnetic lid 11, locate the target marker body 4 according to the color markings on the outside of the positioning socket 3, press it, and the locking member 8 rotates and engages with the guide rail block 6, causing the marker to pop out 5-8mm for easy grabbing. To return it to its original position, align the marker body 4 and insert it. After pressing, the locking member 8 disengages from the guide rail block 6, and the marker retracts under the action of the return spring 7, achieving precise return. In low-light environments, the battery-powered LED lighting module can be turned on to improve ease of operation.
[0033] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: it solves the problems of messy retrieval and storage in traditional pencil cases; the independent press-to-pop structure for each pen allows for quick access to and placement of a single marker; and the array-style positioning sockets ensure accurate and orderly placement, improving efficiency and tidiness.
