Therefore, the present disclosure is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is to be consistent with the widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed herein.

[0028] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, on the one hand, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a stylus pen, which includes a pen body 10 and a pen cap 20 arranged on the pen body 10, and can realize the switching of the charging interface 14 between exposed and hidden states, thereby reducing the risk of dust accumulation and damage to the charging interface 14, and improving the performance of the charging interface 14 and the overall appearance of the stylus pen.

[0029] The pen body 10 is provided with a charging port 14, while the pen cap 20 is provided with a hollow portion 21. The pen cap 20 can be rotated to change the relative position of the hollow portion 21 and the charging port 14. Specifically, when the hollow portion 21 and the charging port 14 are offset, the charging port 14 is hidden by the pen cap 20 and prevented from being exposed on the stylus's exterior surface. However, when the hollow portion 21 and the charging port 14 are aligned, the charging port 14 is exposed through the hollow portion 21.

[0030] During the touch operation of the stylus pen, the pen cap 20 can be rotated to a position where the hollow portion 21 and the charging interface 14 are offset, so that the charging interface 14 is hidden inside the stylus pen and is not exposed, thereby preventing the charging interface 14 from being damaged by dust accumulation due to long-term exposure, thereby ensuring the safety of the charging interface 14; and when the stylus pen needs to be charged, the pen cap 20 can be rotated to a position where the hollow portion 21 and the charging interface 14 are aligned, so that the charging interface 14 is exposed on the outer surface of the stylus pen, and the charging connector can pass through the hollow portion 21 on the pen cap 20 and be plugged into the charging interface 14 to realize the charging function.

[0031] Compared with the related art, the stylus pen provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can utilize the rotational movement of the pen cap 20 to realize the switching of the charging interface 14 between the exposed and hidden states. The charging interface 14 is exposed when charging is needed, and the charging interface 14 is hidden when charging is not needed, thereby avoiding the charging interface 14 from being exposed for a long time, thereby reducing the risk of dust accumulation and damage to the charging interface 14, and improving the performance of the charging interface 14 and the overall appearance of the stylus.

[0032] In some embodiments, the pen body 10 may be provided with a first magnetic portion 15, and the pen cap 20 may be provided with a second magnetic portion 22. When the hollow portion 21 and the charging port 14 are aligned, the first magnetic portion 15 and the second magnetic portion 22 magnetically engage, securing the pen body 10 and the pen cap 20 in their current positions. This arrangement, utilizing magnetic fixation, ensures that the hollow portion 21 and the charging port 14 remain aligned during charging, ensuring that the charging port 14 remains exposed, and preventing interference with the connection and charging of the charging port 14.

[0033] The structure of the pen body 10 can be determined according to actual needs, and can adopt types such as an integrated structure and a split structure, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. In some examples, the pen body 10 may include a pen body 11 and a fixed connection cap 12. The charging interface 14 is provided on the pen body 11, and a connecting neck 112 is formed on one end of the pen body 11 along its length direction, and the connecting neck 112 has a cylindrical structure. One end of the fixed connection cap 12 is embedded and fixed to the inner circumference of the connecting neck 112, and the pen cap 20 is rotatably mounted on the fixed connection cap 12 and the connecting neck 112 in sequence. Here, a mounting groove 121 may be provided on the end of the fixed connection cap 12 away from the connecting neck 112, and the first magnetic attraction portion 15 is embedded in the mounting groove 121, so that the first magnetic attraction portion 15 can be compactly arranged on the pen body 10.

[0034] In some embodiments, the pen body 10 may further be provided with a logo identification portion 113, and the logo identification portion 113 and the charging port 14 are spaced apart along the circumference of the pen body 10. The logo identification portion 113 is used to identify the logo (logotype, abbreviated as LOGO) of the company to which the stylus pen belongs, and can be formed by, for example, silk screen printing, etching, etc., which is not limited in the present embodiment. When the hollow portion 21 and the charging port 14 are aligned, the logo identification portion 113 is hidden by the pen cap 20 to avoid being exposed on the appearance of the stylus pen; and when the hollow portion 21 and the logo identification portion 113 are aligned, the hollow portion 21 and the charging port 14 are staggered, and the logo identification portion 113 is exposed through the hollow portion 21 to decorate the area where the hollow portion 21 is located, and at the same time serve as a logo identification for the stylus pen.

[0035] In some examples, the pen body 10 may be provided with a third magnetic portion 16, and the cap 20 may be provided with a fourth magnetic portion 23. When the hollow portion 21 and the logo portion 113 are aligned, the third magnetic portion 16 and the fourth magnetic portion 23 magnetically engage, securing the pen body 10 and the cap 20 in their current positions. This arrangement, utilizing magnetic fixation, ensures that the logo portion 113 and the charging port 14 remain aligned during non-charging, ensuring that the charging port 14 remains concealed within the stylus, preventing accidental exposure and damage from dust accumulation.

[0036] The placement of the logo mark 113 on the stylus body 10 can be determined based on actual needs and is not limited in this disclosure. In some examples, the logo mark 113 can be located on the stylus body 10 in an area facing away from the charging port 14, with the angle between the logo mark 113 and the charging port 14 being 180°. This arrangement effectively ensures that the charging port 14 remains hidden within the stylus during the non-charging process, preventing accidental exposure and damage to the charging port 14. This also increases the accuracy and reliability of the rotation switching operation.

[0037] In some embodiments, the pen body 10 may be provided with a first recessed portion 115, into which the female connector of the charging port 14 is embedded. This creates an embedded relationship between the female connector of the charging port 14 and the pen body 10, effectively utilizing the space within the pen body 10 to arrange the female connector of the charging port 14 and increase the structural compactness of the pen body 10. In some examples, the logo portion 113 and the first recessed portion 115 may be separately provided on the connecting neck 112.

[0038] In some embodiments, the pen body 10 may include a main body 11 and a nib 13. The main body 11 has a tapered connecting portion 114 and a connecting neck 112 formed at either end along its length. The nib 13 and the tapered connecting portion 114 are plugged and fixed together, and the pen cap 20 is rotatably mounted on the connecting neck 112.

[0039] The type of the charging interface 14 can be determined according to actual needs, and can be, for example, Micro USB, Mini USB, etc., which is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the charging interface 14 can be a Type-C interface.

[0040] In some embodiments, the pen body 10 may further be provided with a button 17 for the user to press to switch the mode / switch the stylus pen.

[0041] On the other hand, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an electronic device, comprising a device body and a stylus provided by any of the above embodiments.
