[0007] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of how a writing instrument is used. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0008] The writing instrument 1 according to this embodiment will be described below.
[0009] The present invention provides a writing instrument 1 that includes a battery section, a heating wire connected to the battery, and a support section 2 equipped with a bimetal for temperature control, whereby the heating wire is controlled by the bimetal, which bends as the temperature rises, limiting the power to the heating wire and adjusting the temperature of the lead. The heating wire is placed in the part to be held, and is heated by inserting a miniature battery. The bimetal allows heating to stop when the temperature reaches a certain level and to resume when the temperature drops below that level. This structure provides a writing instrument 1 that allows for temperature control of the lead.
[0010] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0011] In Figure 1, the writing instrument 1 comprises a holder 2 and a switch 3, the battery section (not shown) can use small dry batteries such as miniature batteries, AA batteries, or AAA batteries, a bimetal is installed in the heating wire, and the writing instrument 1 also comprises a holder 2 with a built-in temperature control function. Another feature of the present invention is that the heating wire is placed in the grip, a miniature battery is inserted to heat it, and the bimetal stops heating when it reaches a certain temperature and starts heating again when it falls back to that temperature.
[0012] The writing instrument 1 uses a thin graphite core, the battery section can use small dry batteries such as miniature batteries, AA batteries, and AAA batteries, the heating wire is equipped with a bimetal, and the writing instrument 1 also has a support section 2 with an internal temperature control function. The miniature battery is preferably a small dry battery with a diameter of approximately 11 mm and a length of approximately 30 mm. The AA battery is preferably a medium-sized dry battery with a diameter of approximately 17 mm and a length of approximately 50 mm. The AAA battery is preferably a large dry battery with a diameter of approximately 22 mm and a length of approximately 45 mm. The bimetal is a composite of two different types of metal and has the property of bending with changes in temperature.
[0013] In the writing instrument 1 of the present invention, the heating wire, controlled by a bimetal, bends as the temperature rises. This invention is suitable for a variety of uses, including writing documents and letters, sketching and designing, and preparing exams and reports. It is expected to be useful in cold winter environments and situations requiring prolonged writing. Lead types and thicknesses, such as 0.5mm and 0.7mm, are available, similar to those of ordinary pencil leads. Battery life during extended use varies depending on usage conditions, but typically lasts from several hours to several dozen hours. The battery is replaced by opening the battery compartment on the body of the writing instrument 1 and replacing it with a new one. Temperature control using a bimetal allows for cost-effective production and increased affordability compared to conventional writing instruments with precise temperature control using a machine. Furthermore, this invention is characterized by the incorporation of a bimetal in the heating wire, providing temperature control, and has a different structure from the reactors in prior art documents.
[0014] The holder 2 is the part that is held by hand and is also called the grip. The writing instrument 1 of the present invention has a heating wire inside the grip, which can be heated by inserting a miniature battery. The holder 2 is equipped with a grip, making it easy to hold in your hand. In addition, by incorporating a bimetal, it has the function of stopping heating when it reaches a certain temperature and restarting heating when it falls back to that temperature. This function keeps the lead temperature constant, allowing for smooth writing. The writing instrument 1 can also be used in the shape of a mechanical pencil or ballpoint pen. Furthermore, by using a miniature battery, it can be used easily without having to worry about power supply issues.
[0015] The writing instrument 1 of the present invention includes a low-temperature reaction section and a high-temperature reaction section that reacts at a higher temperature than the low-temperature reaction section, and aims to suppress a decrease in system efficiency. In this embodiment, a heat-conducting member is provided to connect the low-temperature reaction section and the high-temperature reaction section, thereby maintaining the temperature of the high-temperature reaction section within a certain range. When the temperature of the high-temperature reaction section is lower than a predetermined temperature, one end of the heat-conducting member separates, and when the temperature of the high-temperature reaction section exceeds the predetermined temperature, one end of the heat-conducting member comes into contact. This maintains the temperature of the high-temperature reaction section within a certain range, thereby suppressing a decrease in system efficiency. According to this embodiment, the temperature of the high-temperature reaction section in the reaction device can be maintained within a certain range, thereby improving reaction efficiency.
[0016] The writing instrument 1 of the present invention may have a structure including an electric heating tube and thermally conductive oil. This embodiment increases the thermal capacity of the temperature control unit, improving the stability and uniformity of the bottom plate temperature.
