[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0033] This invention is applicable to scenarios where eye fatigue requires massage during writing with an electronic pen. It provides an electronic pen that utilizes the vibration characteristics of the pen to enhance the massage function, thereby achieving a convenient eye massage effect.

[0034] The following is combined Figures 1 to 4 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0035] According to an embodiment of this utility model, an electronic pen is provided, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the pen includes: a pen tip 10, a pen body 11, and a pen tail 12 connected sequentially along a first direction. The pen body includes: a pen core 111 and a pen tube 112 sleeved outside the pen core 111. The pen core 111 includes: a control module 1111 and a power module 1112. The pen tail 12 includes a vibration component 121, and an elastic sleeve 122 is installed on the pen tail 12. The vibration component 121 is used to drive the elastic sleeve 122 to vibrate. The control module 1111 is communicatively connected to the vibration component 121 and is used to control the working state of the vibration component 121. The power module 1112 is electrically connected to the vibration component 121 and the control module 1111 and is used to provide power to the vibration component 121 and the control module 1111.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, during the use of the electronic pen, the vibrating component 121 provides slight vibration feedback when the user writes or draws, simulating the tactile sensation of traditional pen and paper writing. This allows the user to experience more realistic writing resistance and texture, thereby improving the naturalness and comfort of writing. Furthermore, an elastic sleeve 122 is installed on the pen's tail 12, utilizing the pen's vibration to achieve a massage function. When used for eye massage, the user can gently place the pen tail 12 with the appropriate elastic sleeve 122 on acupoints around the eyes. Vibration is transmitted to the eye muscles through the pen tail 12 and the corresponding elastic sleeve 122, promoting blood circulation in the eyes and relieving eye fatigue. This invention, through its structural design integrating a vibrating component at the pen tail and a replaceable sleeve to achieve a massage function, enables the electronic pen to also have a massage function, opening up new functional directions for pen products, increasing product added value, and improving the practicality and market competitiveness of electronic pens.

[0037] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 2 As shown, the pen tail 12 of the electronic pen also includes a tail cap 123, and an elastic sleeve 122 is detachably installed on the tail cap 123, thus forming a detachable pen tail 12. To provide users with a different massage experience, the elastic sleeve 122 can be made of different materials and in different shapes. The materials include, but are not limited to, silicone, thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU), and rubber. Different materials have different elasticities; silicone has good skin-friendliness and softness, TPU has both high elasticity and wear resistance, and rubber has excellent anti-slip properties. The shapes include, but are not limited to, smooth cylinders or cylinders with several preset shaped protrusions. Cylindrical shapes are suitable for regular grip massage, and adding protrusions can enhance the massage stimulation. Furthermore, the protrusions can be set to different shapes and sizes. In addition, to meet users' personalized needs, different sizes of flexible sleeves 122 are also provided to fit different models of electronic pens and meet the grip needs of different users, including small, medium and large sizes. The small size is suitable for thin electronic pens or users with small hands, the medium size is a universal size, and the large size is suitable for thicker electronic pens or users with larger hands.

[0038] In some alternative implementations, the vibration component 121 of the electronic pen can be configured with different models and specifications of linear motors, bone conduction oscillators, or piezoelectric ceramic motors to adjust the vibration effect. Different types of vibration components have different advantages: linear motors can start and stop quickly, reaching the required vibration intensity in a short time; bone conduction oscillators transmit sound directly to the inner ear by vibrating the skull, without relying on air conduction, thus transmitting sound information clearly even in noisy environments; piezoelectric ceramic motors have a compact structure, generating greater force in a smaller space, making them suitable for devices with high space requirements. Developers can select the vibration components to deploy according to user needs, and users can also choose electronic pens equipped with different vibration components according to their needs.

[0039] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 2 As shown, taking a bone conduction oscillator as an example, it mainly consists of a vibrating element, a driving circuit, and a conducting structure. The vibrating element is the core component, typically made of piezoelectric ceramics, magnetostrictive materials, or electromagnetic coils, capable of generating precise vibrations under the influence of electrical signals. The driving circuit amplifies and processes the input audio electrical signals to drive the vibrating element to produce corresponding vibrations. The conducting structure protects and secures the internal components (including the pen's outer shell, internal support structure, and elastic elements), and is designed according to different application scenarios to ensure good contact with the human body and facilitate vibration transmission. Therefore, when a user holds the pen to write, the vibrations generated by the bone conduction oscillator are transmitted through the contact between the pen and the hand, then through the bones of the arm to the skull, and finally perceived by the auditory system. Thus, the user can simultaneously experience vibration and auditory feedback, satisfying their immersion and enjoyment during the writing process, without disturbing others. In this invention, the massage function is achieved by utilizing the vibration characteristics of the bone conduction vibrator. Music can also be played during the massage by taking advantage of the sound propagation characteristics of the bone conduction vibrator, which can not only increase the user's relaxation effect but also avoid disturbing others.

[0040] In some optional embodiments, a function control button 1121 is also provided on the pen tube 112 of the electronic pen for controlling the massage function. The function control button 1121 is connected to the control module 1111 and is used to switch the vibration mode according to the user's operation. The control module 1111 includes a microcontroller and a switching circuit, etc. The developers pre-program different vibration modes, such as low-frequency soothing vibration and high-frequency rapid vibration. At the same time, different vibration modes are stored in the microcontroller and the vibration modes are associated with the operation of the function control button 1121. Thus, when the user presses the function control button 1121 on the pen tube 112, the control module 1111 receives a start signal and controls the vibration component 121 to start according to the start signal. Similarly, the control module 1111 can control the vibration component 121 to stop, and adjust the vibration frequency and intensity through preset switching actions, providing users with different vibration modes to meet different massage needs. This allows users to perform eye massage at any time during work or study breaks to relieve fatigue and make up for the shortcomings of existing pen products. The microcontroller for control module 1111 can be a product of different brands and models, as long as it can achieve the corresponding control function.

[0041] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 3 The internal circuit diagram of the electronic pen shown reveals that the pen tip 10 includes a pressure sensor 101 and a coding signal transmitting module 102. The pressure sensor 101 detects the pressure applied to the pen tip during writing or operation and converts the pressure signal into an electrical signal. This allows the electronic device to respond accordingly to different pressure levels, such as varying the thickness of writing strokes or the weight of lines in drawing, simulating the pressure effect of real writing or drawing and enhancing the user experience. The coding signal transmitting module 102 enables communication between the electronic pen and the touch device. By emitting specific coding signals, the electronic pen allows the touch device to recognize pen operations, such as the position of the pen tip, clicks, and double-clicks, thereby achieving precise touch interaction.

[0042] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 2 As shown, the pen body 11 is externally enclosed by a pen tube 112. A charging port 1122 and a charging indicator light 1123 are located on the pen tube 112 near the pen tail 12. Correspondingly, as... Figure 3As shown, the pen refill 111 also includes a charging and protection module 1113. The two ends of the charging and protection module 1113 are connected to the control module 1111 and the power module 1112 respectively, for charging management and protection of the power module 1112. Specifically, it can automatically adjust the charging current and voltage according to the power status of the power module 1112 to ensure optimal charging speed while avoiding overcharging, over-discharging, and overcurrent that could damage the power module 1112, thus extending its service life. The power module 1112 of this invention can be a rechargeable battery such as a lithium battery. The power module 1112 is connected to the charging port 1122 and the charging indicator light 1123, which illuminates during charging. Alternatively, a replaceable battery or wireless charging technology can be used.

[0043] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, the pen refill 111 also includes a wireless communication module 1114, which is connected to the control module 1111 and is used to pair and communicate with a smart terminal (tablet or computer, etc.), receive audio signals sent by the smart terminal, and if the smart terminal has an APP (application application) corresponding to the electronic pen installed, it can also receive operation instructions issued by the APP, which is not limited here.

[0044] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 2 As shown, the pen tube 112 has a sound collection hole 1124 on the side near the pen tip 10, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the pen refill 111 also includes a voice acquisition device 1115 (e.g., a microphone), and the voice acquisition device 1115 corresponds to the position of the sound acquisition hole 1124, thereby enabling accurate acquisition of audio signals. Based on this design, users can utilize, for example... Figure 2The sound acquisition hole 1124 shown enables voice input, and the recorded sound is sent to the smart terminal by the wireless communication module. Therefore, when users use tablets, mobile phones, or other devices in public places such as libraries and offices, if they need to make voice calls but do not have headphones or find headphones inconvenient and unable to meet their immediate call needs, they can use an electronic pen to make voice calls. The process is as follows: the user can pair the electronic pen with their mobile phone, tablet, or other smart terminal via Bluetooth. While writing with the electronic pen, if the user needs to make voice calls, the microphone at the tip of the pen can collect the user's voice signal and transmit it to the control module 1111. After processing the voice signal, the control module 1111 sends the voice signal to the paired mobile phone or tablet via the Bluetooth module, and then the mobile phone or tablet sends the voice signal to the smart terminal with which it is making the call. When a mobile phone or tablet paired with the electronic pen receives a voice signal sent by the other party, it is received and transmitted via Bluetooth to the control module 1111. The control module 1111 then drives the bone conduction vibrator to transmit the voice signal to the user via bone conduction, thus enabling voice calls. To ensure clear sound, the user can place the end of the electronic pen directly against their ear. Figure 4 As shown. Therefore, the electronic pen can simultaneously integrate writing, massage, and voice call functions.

[0045] The electronic pen provided by this utility model is powered by a power module in the pen tip section of the pen body. The control module in the pen tip section controls the working state of the vibration component in the pen tail section. The vibration component drives the elastic sleeve to vibrate. This utility model can deeply integrate vibration massage function with traditional electronic pens, giving the electronic pen a massage function based on the elastic sleeve. It breaks the limitation of the electronic pen's single writing function, allowing users to massage their eyes at any time during work or study breaks, improving the user's comfort experience when using the pen, effectively relieving fatigue, reducing the risk of eye diseases, and realizing the dual functional value of "writing + massage".
