Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electronic equipment technology, specifically relating to a stylus storage device. Background Technology

[0002] Conventional pencil case designs are often limited to a single opening and closing method, mostly using flip-tops, pull-out mechanisms, or simple snap-lock structures to store pens. When putting a pen in, it can usually only be placed horizontally into the internal cavity, lacking flexible positioning or auxiliary structures, making it impossible to quickly store or retrieve pens.

A first groove is provided between the initial position and the locked position, a second groove is provided between the locked position and the extended position, and a third groove is provided between the extended position and the initial position.

[0007] The connecting rod includes a first end and a second end. The first end is rotatably connected to the movable block, and the second end is slidably connected to the housing assembly. The second end moves from the initial position to the locked position via the first slide groove, from the locked position to the pushed-out position via the second slide groove, and then from the pushed-out position to the initial position via the third slide groove.

[0008] One end of the elastic element contacts the housing assembly, and the other end contacts the movable block;

[0009] The length direction of the stylus storage device is the first direction. Along the first direction, the distance from the locking position to the part of the housing assembly that contacts the elastic element is L1, and the distance from the pushing position to the part of the housing assembly that contacts the elastic element is L2, where L1 ≥ L2.

[0010] Optionally, the housing assembly includes: a housing a and a connector b;

[0011] The connector b is disposed inside the outer casing a and is connected to the outer casing a;

[0012] The connector b is provided with the first slide groove, the second slide groove and the third slide groove.

[0013] Optionally, the first chute includes a first section and a second section;

[0014] The initial position and the second segment are the first segment, the locking position and the first segment are the second segment, the first segment is parallel to the first direction, and the second segment has a first angle α with the first direction X, the first angle α being an acute angle.

[0015] Optionally, the second groove has a second included angle β with the first direction, the second included angle β being an acute angle, and the angle of the second included angle β being greater than the angle of the first included angle α; or,

[0016] The second groove is parallel to the second direction, Y, which is the width direction of the stylus storage device.

[0017] Optionally, the third groove includes a third section and a fourth section;

[0018] The third segment is located between the launch position and the fourth segment, and the fourth segment is located between the initial position and the third segment. The third segment is parallel to the first direction.

[0019] Along the first direction, the length of the third segment is L3, and the distance from the initial position to the ejection position is L4, where L3 > L4.

[0020] Optionally, the first end includes a rotating shaft, the movable block is provided with a connecting hole, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the connecting hole.

[0021] Optionally, the connecting rod includes a slider connected to the second end;

[0022] The slider is slidably connected to the housing assembly.

[0023] Optionally, the end of the second slide groove that connects to the first slide groove is chamfered.

[0024] Optionally, the stylus storage device further includes a fastening component disposed within the movable block and connected to the movable block.

[0025] Optionally, the housing assembly further includes a bracket disposed within and connected to the housing.

[0026] The bracket has an opening on the side away from the connector, and an accommodating space is formed inside the bracket for accommodating a stylus.

[0027] The bracket is slidably connected to the movable block.

[0028] Optionally, the bracket has a clearance opening on the side near the movable block.

[0029] Optionally, the stylus storage device further includes a charging connector and electrical components;

[0030] The charging connector is located at the end of the stylus storage device away from the opening;

[0031] The electrical component is disposed within the housing and between the bracket, the electrical component is connected to the housing, and the electrical component is electrically connected to the charging connector.

[0032] In this embodiment, the cyclic movement of the connecting rod in the three slides makes the storage and retrieval of the stylus more convenient. When the stylus is not pushed in, the connecting rod is in the initial position. When the stylus is pushed in, the connecting rod slides through the first slide into the locking position, and the stylus is locked in the stylus storage device. Since the length from the locking position to the part of the housing assembly that contacts the elastic element is L1, and the length from the push-out position to the part of the housing assembly that contacts the elastic element is L2, L1≥L2, that is, along the pressing direction of the stylus, the push-out position is farther than the locking position. When the stylus is to be taken out, the stylus is pressed, the stylus drives the movable block, the movable block drives the connecting rod, and the connecting rod slides more easily from the locking position to the push-out position. Therefore, the movement trajectory of the second end of the connecting rod is: the second end of the connecting rod slides from the locking position through the second slide into the push-out position in the slide. At this time, the push-out position gives the second end of the connecting rod a reaction force, sending the second end of the connecting rod into the third slide, and then returning to the initial position through the third slide, that is, the connecting rod returns to the initial position. The movement of the linkage between the first, second, and third slides forms a closed loop, simplifying the overall structure of the stylus storage device. The movement of the second segment of the linkage between the three slides allows the stylus to be removed and locked simply by pressing it, improving the convenience of use.

[0050] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, through specific examples and application scenarios.

[0051] This application provides a stylus storage device, see reference. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 8 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the internal structure of a stylus storage device provided in an embodiment of this application; Figure 2 This is a partial structural diagram of the internal structure of a stylus storage device. Figure 9 Here are schematic diagrams of each groove; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram showing the relative positional relationship between each groove and the elastic element in the stylus storage device provided in the embodiments of this application; Figure 12 A schematic diagram of the stylus storage device provided in the embodiment of this application in the stylus pop-out state; Figure 13This is a schematic diagram of the stylus storage device provided in this application embodiment in the stylus locked and stored state. The stylus storage device includes: a housing assembly 10, an elastic element 20, a movable block 30, and a connecting rod 40; the housing assembly 10 has an initial position 101, a locked position 102, and an extended position 103; a first groove 104 is provided between the initial position 101 and the locked position 102; a second groove 105 is provided between the locked position 102 and the extended position 103; and a third groove 106 is provided between the extended position 103 and the initial position 101; one end of the elastic element 20 contacts the housing assembly 10, and the other end contacts the movable block 30; the connecting rod 40 includes a first end 401 and a second end 402, and the first end 401 is rotatably connected to the movable block 30. The second end 402 is slidably connected to the housing assembly 10. The second end 402 moves from the initial position 101 to the locked position 102 via the first slide groove 104, from the locked position 102 to the ejected position 103 via the second slide groove 105, and then from the ejected position 103 to the initial position 101 via the third slide groove 106. The length direction of the stylus storage device is the first direction X. Along the first direction X, the length of the locked position 102 from the part of the housing assembly 10 that contacts the elastic element 20 is L1, and the length of the ejected position 103 from the part of the housing assembly 10 that contacts the elastic element 20 is L2, where L1 ≥ L2.

[0052] The housing assembly 10 serves as the main structure of the device, providing internal space to accommodate other components and guiding the movement path of the connecting rod 40 through the first slide 104, the second slide 105, and the third slide 106. The initial position 101 is the position of the second end 402 of the connecting rod 40 when the stylus is not inserted; the locked position 102 is the position of the second end 402 of the connecting rod 40 when the stylus is pushed in and locked; and the ejected position 103 is the position where the second end 402 of the connecting rod 40 is closest to the contact point between the housing assembly 10 and the elastic member 20 when the stylus is ejected.

[0053] The elastic element 20 can be a spring or elastic rubber, etc. One end of the elastic element 20 contacts the housing assembly 10, and the other end contacts the movable block 30. Its function is to provide elastic force when the stylus is inserted or removed: when the stylus is inserted, the elastic element 20 is compressed to store energy; when it is removed, the energy is released to push the movable block 30, which in turn drives the linkage 40 to achieve the pop-out action.

[0054] The movable block 30 contacts the elastic element 20 and can slide along the inside of the housing assembly 10. The linear motion of the movable block 30 can be converted into the curvilinear motion of the connecting rod 40 in the slide groove by means of the connecting rod 40 which is rotatably connected to the movable block 30.

[0055] The first end 401 of the connecting rod 40 is rotatably connected to the movable block 30, allowing the linear motion of the movable block 30 to be converted into multi-angle swing of the connecting rod 40; the second end 402 is slidably connected to the housing assembly 10. The second end 402 moves from the initial position 101 to the locked position 102 via the first slide groove 104, from the locked position 102 to the ejected position 103 via the second slide groove 105, and then from the ejected position 103 to the initial position 101 via the third slide groove 106. Each slide groove guides the sliding of the second end 402, ensuring the accurate positioning and ejection of the stylus.

[0056] A first groove 104 is formed between the initial position 101 and the locked position 102; a second groove 105 is formed between the locked position 102 and the ejection position 103; and a third groove 106 is formed between the ejection position 103 and the initial position 101. The initial position 101 accommodates the second end 402 of the connecting rod 40, providing an initial positioning point to ensure the stability of the connecting rod 40 when the stylus is inserted. When the stylus is inserted into the stylus storage device, the second end 402 of the connecting rod 40 slides into the locked position 102, forming a mechanical lock with the housing assembly 10 to prevent the stylus from accidentally falling out. When it is necessary to remove the stylus, the second end 402 of the connecting rod 40 slides into the ejection position 103, and the elastic force of the elastic element 20 pushes the stylus out.

[0057] The first groove 104 connects the initial position 101 and the locking position 102, guiding the initial movement of the connecting rod 40 during insertion. Along the first direction X, the length of the locking position 102 from the part of the housing assembly 10 that contacts the elastic element 20 is L1, and the length of the push-out position 103 from the part of the housing assembly 10 that contacts the elastic element 20 is L2, where L1 ≥ L2. That is, along the pressing direction of the stylus, the push-out position is closer to the part of the housing assembly 10 that contacts the elastic element 20 than the locking position. This design ensures that when the stylus is ejected, the second end 402 of the connecting rod 40 has sufficient travel from the locking position 102 to the push-out position 103 to apply pressure to the elastic element 20. The third groove 106 connects the push-out position 103 and the initial position 101, forming a closed loop, allowing the second end 402 of the connecting rod 40 to move from the push-out position 103 to the initial position 101, i.e., to reset, so that the user can take out the stylus or prepare for the next storage of the stylus in the stylus storage device.

[0058] The motion trajectory of link 40 in the three grooves is as follows Figure 9As shown, when the stylus is not pushed in, the movable block 30 remains stationary, and the second end 402 of the connecting rod 40 is in the initial position. When the stylus is pushed in, the stylus pushes the movable block 30 to move. At this time, the elastic element 20 is compressed to the first compression state, and the second end 402 of the connecting rod 40 slides from the initial position 101 through the first slide groove 104 into the locking position 102, and the stylus is locked in the stylus storage device. When the stylus is removed, pressing it again causes the stylus to push the sliding block 30 to move. Since the distance from the locking position 102 to the contact point between the housing assembly 10 and the elastic element 20 along the first direction X is L1, and the distance from the push-out position 103 to the contact point between the housing assembly 10 and the elastic element 20 is L2, where L1 ≥ L2, when the stylus is pressed again after locking, the second end 402 of the connecting rod 40 is subjected to pressure at the locking position 102. Under this pressure, it slides into the second slide groove 105 and then into the push-out position 103. At this time, the elastic element 20 is compressed to a second compressed state, and its length is less than its length in the first compressed state. At this point, the second end 402 of the connecting rod 40 reaches the closest position along the first direction X of the second slide groove 105 to the contact point between the housing assembly 10 and the elastic element 20, and can no longer move along the pushing path. The elastic element 20 releases the energy stored when it is compressed, giving the movable block 30 a reverse elastic force. The movable block 30 drives the connecting rod 40 to move. The second end 402 of the connecting rod 40 returns to the initial position through the third slide groove 106, and the stylus is ejected.

[0059] The first slide 104, the second slide 105, and the third slide 106 are connected to form a closed loop in the movement of the second end 402 of the connecting rod 40. When storing or retrieving the stylus, simply press the stylus, and the storage and retrieval of the stylus can be completed by moving the movable block 30 and the connecting rod 40, thus improving the convenience of the stylus storage process.

[0060] Optionally, refer to Figures 4 to 8 and Figure 11 , Figures 3 to 7 This is a schematic diagram of connector 10b. Figure 11 The overall structure of the stylus storage device provided in this application embodiment is shown. The housing assembly 10 includes: a housing 10a and a connector 10b; the connector 10b is disposed inside the housing 10a and connected to the housing 10a; the connector 10b is provided with a first sliding groove 104, a second sliding groove 105 and a third sliding groove 106.

[0061] The outer casing 10a provides external protection for the entire storage device, withstanding external pressure and impacts, and protecting the internal connector 10b and other components. The connector 10b connects to the outer casing 10a, which, as the external frame of the stylus storage device, provides a sturdy mounting base for the connector 10b, further enhancing the stability of the overall structure. This allows the linkage 40 and the various sliding grooves to function more stably, ensuring that the sliding process of the linkage 40 is not disturbed by external factors. For example, the connector 10b and the outer casing 10a can be fixedly connected by snap-fit ​​connections, screw connections, adhesive bonding, or other methods.

[0062] The first groove 104, the second groove 105, and the third groove 106 within the connector 10b provide precise movement tracks for the second end 402 of the connecting rod 40. By designing the shape and size of each groove, the movement path of the connecting rod 40 can be precisely controlled, thereby achieving accurate storage and ejection of the stylus, ensuring that the stylus is accurately positioned in the storage device for user convenience.

[0063] The housing assembly 10 is designed with two parts: an outer shell 10a and a connector 10b, which facilitates manufacturing and assembly. During production, the outer shell 10a and the connector 10b can be processed separately, and then the connector 10b can be installed into the outer shell 10a, improving production efficiency. If the storage device malfunctions, the outer shell 10a can be easily disassembled to inspect and repair the connector 10b and other internal components, reducing maintenance costs.

[0064] This structural design allows for adjustments and optimizations based on different application scenarios and needs. For example, by replacing the connectors 10b with different specifications, it can accommodate styluses of different sizes and shapes, or the structure of the slide 101 can be changed to meet different pop-up and storage methods, thereby improving the compatibility and applicability of the storage device.

[0065] Optionally, refer to Figure 9 The first slide 104 includes a first segment 1041 and a second segment 1042; the first segment 1041 is located between the initial position 101 and the second segment 1042, and the second segment 1042 is located between the locking position 102 and the first segment 1041. The first segment 1041 is parallel to the first direction X, and the second segment 1042 has a first angle α with the first direction X. The first angle α is an acute angle.

[0066] The first segment 1041 is parallel to the first direction X, providing a stable linear motion track for the second end 402 of the connecting rod 40. This allows the stylus to move accurately along a specific direction during the initial insertion phase, facilitating alignment with the subsequent slide groove. The second segment 1042 forms an acute angle with the first direction X, guiding the connecting rod 40 to gradually change its direction of movement, smoothly transitioning it to a position communicating with the second slide groove 105. This achieves precise positioning of the stylus within the storage device, ensuring accurate placement of the stylus.

[0067] The second segment 1042 forms a first angle α with the first direction X. This first angle α is acute, meaning the angle between the second end 402 and the first segment 1041 is obtuse. Due to this angle, the connecting rod 40 can be locked in the locked position 102 after entering the second segment 1042. Furthermore, the acute angle design allows the connecting rod 40 to smoothly transition from the first segment 1041 to the second segment 1042 and then into the second slide groove 105, effectively preventing jamming of the connecting rod 40 during its movement in the various slide grooves, thus improving the reliability and service life of the storage device.

[0068] Optionally, refer to Figure 9 The second slide 105 has a second included angle β with the first direction X, the second included angle β is an acute angle, and the angle of the second included angle β is greater than the angle of the first included angle α; or, the second slide 105 is parallel to the second direction Y, the second direction Y is the width direction of the stylus storage device.

[0069] When the second slide 105 forms a second angle β with the first direction X, where the second angle β is acute and greater than the first angle α, pressing the stylus in the stylus storage device in its locked state causes the second end 402 of the connecting rod 40 to overcome less resistance when moving towards the second slide 105 than when moving towards the first slide 104. The second end 402 of the connecting rod 40 then enters the second slide 105, and subsequently the third slide 106. The elastic force of the elastic element 20 then ejects the stylus. This design helps to more efficiently convert the elastic potential energy stored in the elastic element 20 into the ejection force of the stylus, making the ejection more powerful and smooth, and easier for the user to access.

[0070] When there is more available space inside the stylus storage device in the second direction Y, the second slide 105 can be designed to be parallel to the second direction Y. This design makes better use of space, making the structure of the storage device more compact and conducive to the miniaturization and thinning of the device. Under this design, when the stylus is locked in the stylus storage device, the resistance that the second end 402 of the connecting rod 40 needs to overcome to move toward the second slide 105 is also less than the resistance that the second end 402 needs to overcome to move toward the first slide 104. The second end 402 of the connecting rod 40 will enter the second slide 105, and then enter the third slide 106. Then, the elastic force of the elastic element 20 will eject the stylus.

[0071] Optionally, refer to Figure 9 The third chute 106 includes a third segment 1061 and a fourth segment 1062; the third segment 1061 is located between the ejection position 103 and the fourth segment 1062, and the fourth segment 1062 is located between the initial position 101 and the third segment 1061. The third segment 1061 is parallel to the first direction X; along the first direction X, the length of the third segment 1061 is L3, and the distance from the initial position 101 to the ejection position 103 is L4, where L3 > L4.

[0072] The third segment 1061 is located between the ejection position 103 and the fourth segment 1062, and the fourth segment 1062 is located between the initial position 101 and the third segment 1061. The third segment 1061 is parallel to the first direction X and is connected to the second slide groove 105. When the stylus is ejected, the second end 402 of the connecting rod 40 slides from the second slide groove 105 into the third segment 1061. The straight line design parallel to the first direction X reduces movement resistance, avoids jamming caused by sudden changes in direction, and ensures that the connecting rod 40 moves along a stable trajectory towards the reset direction. Since the length of the third segment 1061 along the first direction X is L3, and the distance from the initial position 101 to the ejection position 103 is L4, L3 > L4, that is, when the connecting rod 40 moves in the groove, when it reaches the fourth segment 1062 after passing through the third segment 1061, there is a reversal process. Specifically, during the process of the stylus being ejected, the second end 402 of the connecting rod 40 first passes through the third segment 1061. When it reaches the junction of the third segment 1061 and the fourth segment 1062, it will be resisted by the groove wall and will no longer be able to move in the direction of the stylus ejection. At this time, the second end 402 receives the reaction force of the groove wall, passes through the fourth segment 1062 and returns to the initial position 101, completing the reset and providing an initial positioning point for the next stylus insertion. Furthermore, the length of the third segment 1061 is L3, and the distance from the initial position 101 to the ejection position 103 is L4. Since L3 > L4, this ensures that when the connecting rod passes through the third segment 1061 and reaches the fourth segment 1062 along the predetermined track, it will not pop out of the entire slide groove but will accurately return to the initial position 101. After resetting, the second end 402 of the connecting rod 40 can accurately return to the initial position 101, forming a stable initial lock. After the connecting rod 40 slides from the fourth segment 1062 into the initial position 101, it can directly engage with the first segment 1041 of the first slide groove 104, providing a smooth transition for the initial sliding when the stylus is inserted next time, avoiding insertion jamming caused by resetting deviation.

[0073] Optionally, refer to Figure 2 The first end 401 includes a rotating shaft 4011, and the movable block 30 is provided with a connecting hole 301. The rotating shaft 4011 is rotatably connected to the connecting hole 301.

[0074] The rotational engagement between the pivot 4011 and the connecting hole 301 allows the connecting rod 40 to swing flexibly around the movable block 30. When the second end 402 of the connecting rod 40 slides in the groove, the connecting rod 40 can adjust the angle with the movable block 30 in real time according to the direction of the second end 402 in the groove, ensuring that the second end 402 always moves in contact with the groove, avoiding jamming or stuck due to path changes, and adapting to complex curves or broken lines between the grooves.

[0075] When the stylus is inserted, the pressure is transmitted to the connecting rod 40 through the movable block 30, or the elastic force of the elastic element 20 drives the connecting rod 40 through the movable block 30. The rotational connection between the rotating shaft 4011 and the connecting hole 301 can eliminate rigid interference during movement. For example, when the connecting rod 40 changes angle due to the guide of the slide groove, the rotational connection can make the direction of force transmission adjust synchronously with the angle of the connecting rod 40, ensuring that the force always acts in the effective direction and reducing energy loss.

[0076] As the link 40 moves within the groove, the position of the second end 402 of the link 40 changes along the second direction Y. The first end 401 of the link 40 is rotatably connected to the movable block, which allows the second end 402 to slide smoothly within the groove, enabling the stylus to switch between locked and ejected states.

[0077] The mating structure between the rotating shaft 4011 and the connecting hole 301 has low requirements for assembly precision, facilitating rapid assembly during production. Furthermore, minor assembly errors can be compensated for by the flexibility of the rotary connection, improving the product yield.

[0078] Throughout the entire process of inserting, locking, and ejecting the stylus, the magnitude and direction of the pressure, elasticity, and other forces exerted on the linkage 40 are dynamically changing. The rotating connection allows the linkage 40 to adapt to changes in force by adjusting its angle, avoiding component damage caused by localized stress concentration and enhancing the structural reliability of the device.

[0079] Optionally, refer to Figure 2 The connecting rod 40 includes a slider 4021, which is connected to the second end 402; the slider 4021 is slidably connected to the housing assembly 10.

[0080] The slider 4021 is a slider with a curved surface structure. The curved surface structure of the slider 4021 makes line contact with each groove in the housing assembly 10, rather than surface contact, resulting in a smaller contact area and significantly reduced friction during sliding. When the stylus is inserted or ejected, the slider 4021 slides more effortlessly within the groove, especially at the transition section between the first segment 1041 and the second segment 1042 in the first groove 104, and at the inclined section of the second groove 105. This provides a smoother user experience and avoids jamming caused by excessive resistance. Furthermore, the elastic force released by the elastic element 20 or the pressure of the stylus insertion does not need to overcome excessive friction, and can be more efficiently converted into the kinetic energy of the slider 4021, ensuring stable ejection force and accurate insertion positioning.

[0081] Since each slide contains multiple paths in different directions, the curved surface of slider 4021 allows it to better adapt to complex trajectories. For example, when slider 4021 transitions from the second segment 1042 of the first slide 104 to the second slide 105, the curved surface can automatically adjust its contact point with the slide through slight rotation or offset, avoiding rigid collisions caused by path turns and ensuring smooth switching of motion direction. For minor machining errors such as local protrusions or unevenness that may exist within the slide, the curved structure can skip the error area by rolling or sliding, reducing the risk of jamming and improving the device's tolerance to manufacturing precision.

[0082] It is understood that the slider 4021 can be cylindrical, conical, or other structures with partially curved surfaces. This application does not impose specific limitations on the embodiments.

[0083] Optionally, refer to Figure 8 The end of the second slide groove 105 that connects to the first slide groove 104 is provided with a chamfer 1051.

[0084] The chamfer 1051 gradually decreases in depth along the third direction Z, and the end of the chamfer 1051 closest to the first groove 104 has a greater depth than the first groove 104, forming a buffer transition zone. When the slider 4021 slides from the first groove 104 to the second groove 105, it does not need to suddenly adapt to the change in depth, but smoothly enters the second groove 105 along the gradual depth, avoiding obstruction caused by abrupt changes in depth. The curved surface of the slider 4021 matches the gradual depth of the chamfer 1051, and the contact point naturally adjusts with the change in depth. The edge of the slider 4021 will not have rigid collisions or friction with the edge of the second groove 105, allowing the slider 4021 to enter the second groove 105 more smoothly. The sliding process is continuous and uninterrupted, improving the smoothness of operation when inserting and locking or popping out and unlocking the stylus.

[0085] Furthermore, since the depth of the end of the chamfer 1051 near the first slide groove 104 along the third direction Z is greater than the depth of the first slide groove 104, it enables the slider 4021 to slide into the second slide groove 105 along a preset path when it receives pressure and moves again in the locked position 102, thus avoiding the movement trajectory disorder caused by the slider 4021 deviating.

[0086] Optionally, the stylus storage device also includes a fastening component, which is disposed within and connected to the movable block 30.

[0087] The fastening component is housed within and connected to the movable block 30. Through physical fastening or mechanical means, the fastening component further enhances the stability and ease of operation of the stylus storage. For example, the fastening component and the movable block 30 can be fixedly connected by snap-fit, screw, or adhesive methods.

[0088] Once the stylus is inserted into the stylus storage device and positioned through the engagement between the connecting rod 40 and the slide, the fastening component secures the stylus within the device, ensuring stable storage. Even in the event of vibration, tilting, or accidental collision, the fastening component effectively counteracts external impacts, preventing the stylus from accidentally slipping out of the storage device.

[0089] It is understandable that the fastening components can be made of soft adhesive, snap-fit, magnetic adsorption, etc. This application does not impose specific limitations on the embodiments.

[0090] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 The housing assembly 10 also includes a bracket 10c, which is disposed inside and connected to the housing 10a; the bracket 10c has an opening 10c1 on the side away from the connector 10b, and a receiving space is formed inside the bracket 10c for accommodating a stylus; the bracket 10c is slidably connected to the movable block 30.

[0091] The internal space of the holder 10c provides a pre-set channel for the stylus. Together with the opening 10c1, it guides the stylus along a pre-set trajectory into the stylus storage device, preventing tip collisions and misalignment caused by manual insertion. The storage space isolates the stylus from other internal components, preventing friction and scratches between the stylus and mechanical structures during storage, protecting the pen's paint, sensors, and precision parts. Simultaneously, the holder 10c itself can withstand external impacts, reducing the risk of damage to the stylus from drops or collisions with the storage device.

[0092] The bracket 10c is slidably connected to the movable block 30, which means that when the movable block 30 moves along the first direction X under the drive of the elastic element 20, the bracket 10c can slide to constrain the movement trajectory of the movable block 30, preventing the movable block 30 from shifting or tilting due to uneven force, ensuring that the movable block 30 always pushes the stylus along a straight line, and improving the stability of the pop-up / retracting action.

[0093] The bracket 10c is set inside the housing 10a and is separate from the connector 10b, which can avoid interference between components and realize functional partitioning within the limited space of the housing 10a, which facilitates the miniaturization and thinning design of the device.

[0094] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 The bracket 10c has an avoidance opening 10c2 on the side near the movable block 30.

[0095] The clearance opening 10c2, by providing reserved space, allows the movable block 30 to move away from or towards the support 10c during sliding, preventing the edges of the movable block 30, the connecting rod 40, and the support 10c from getting stuck. This ensures that the movable block 30 moves smoothly along a preset trajectory, thereby guaranteeing the continuity of the stylus's pop-up / retracting action. Especially when the movable block 30 experiences a slight angular displacement due to the swing of the connecting rod 40, the clearance opening 10c2 provides additional tolerance space, preventing structural deformation caused by rigid compression between the support 10c and the movable block 30.

[0096] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 11 The stylus storage device also includes a charging connector 50 and an electrical component 60; the charging connector 50 is located at the end of the stylus storage device away from the opening 10c1; the electrical component 60 is located inside the housing 10a and between the bracket 10c, the electrical component 60 is connected to the housing 10a, and the electrical component 60 is electrically connected to the charging connector 50.

[0097] When the stylus is inserted into the receiving space of the holder 10c, it can be connected to the charging port of the stylus via the electrical component 60, and charging can be completed simultaneously during storage. The charging connector 50 is located at the end of the device away from the opening 10c1, that is, the end opposite to the insertion direction of the stylus, which can avoid interference between the charging cable and the stylus insertion and removal operations, and the user does not need to unplug the cable first when taking out the pen, thus improving the smoothness of operation. For example, the electrical component 60 and the outer shell 10a can be fixedly connected by means of snap-fit ​​connection, screw connection, adhesive bonding, etc.

[0098] The electrical component 60 is located between the housing 10a and the bracket 10c, making full use of the gap between them and avoiding occupying the stylus storage area or the mechanical transmission area, so that the device can integrate storage, transmission and charging functions in a limited volume.

[0099] Understandably, electrical component 60 can support multiple charging protocols, such as wireless charging and contact charging, and is compatible with styluses with different charging methods: for pens with wireless charging, it charges via coil induction; for pens with contact charging, it charges via physical connection through metal contacts, eliminating the need to design dedicated devices for a single pen model.

[0100] According to the stylus storage device described in the above embodiments, in actual use, the stylus can be directly stored in the stylus storage device. Due to the interaction between the connecting rod 40 and the slide, the stylus is guided to be stored and taken out, which enables the user to quickly take out the stylus when using it and put it back in after use to achieve storage, thus improving work and study efficiency.

[0101] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
