[0044] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0045] As shown in Figures 1-10, the stand-type writing instrument of this embodiment includes a pen body 1 and a folding stand 2; the folding stand 2 includes at least three support rods 21, the support rods 21 are rotatably disposed on the pen body 1, and the support rods 21 are distributed on the outer periphery of the pen body 1 and located at one end of the pen body 1.

[0046] Specifically, for stand-type writing instruments, it includes a conventional pen body 1. The structure of the pen body 1 can be that of a conventional writing pen, such as a ballpoint pen, fountain pen, or fountain pen. The specific physical form of the pen body 1 is not limited here.

[0047] When the pen body 1 is not being used for writing and needs to be placed upright, as shown in Figures 2 and 4, the multiple support rods 21 of the folding bracket 2 can be rotated open from the pen body 1. Taking the folding bracket 2 with three support rods 21 as an example, after the three support rods 21 are rotated open from the side of the pen body 1, a triangular frame structure is formed, so as to realize the requirement of vertical placement of the pen body 1 by using the unfolded folding bracket 2.

[0048] When the user needs to write or place the pen body 1 horizontally, as shown in Figures 1 and 3, multiple support rods 21 can be rotated and attached to the pen body 1 to meet the requirements of normal writing or horizontal placement.

[0049] At the same time, for the pen body 1, during the sales display process, since the unfolded folding stand 2 can be used directly to meet the requirement of the pen body 1 being placed vertically for display, there is no need to configure an additional base for display, which is more conducive to improving the sales display effect.

[0050] In one embodiment of this application, a plurality of grooves 15 are provided on the pen body 1, and the grooves 15 extend along the length direction of the pen body 1.

[0051] When the folding bracket 2 is in the folded state, the support rod 21 is located in the corresponding groove 15.

[0052] Specifically, during normal writing or horizontal placement, to facilitate user use and minimize the impact on usability caused by excessive changes in the external shape of the pen body 1 due to the addition of the folding bracket 2, a groove 15 can be provided on the pen body 1. The groove 15 is designed so that the support rod 21 can be rotated and folded into place. In this way, when not in use, the support rod 21 is stored in the groove 15 to reduce exposure, making the overall structure of the pen body 1 more compact.

[0053] In one embodiment of this application, the pen body 1 is further provided with a mounting base 22 and a sliding base 23. The mounting base 22 and the sliding base 23 are disposed on the pen body 1. The mounting base 22 and the sliding base 23 are arranged sequentially along the length direction of the pen body 1. The sliding base 23 can slide relative to the mounting base 22.

[0054] One end of the support rod 21 is hinged to the mounting base 22, and a connecting rod 24 is hinged between the support rod 21 and the sliding base 23.

[0055] Specifically, to achieve synchronous rotation, unfolding, or folding of multiple support rods 21, the folding bracket 2 is also equipped with a mounting base 22 and a sliding base 23. The corresponding support rod 21 is rotated via a connecting rod 24 connected to the sliding base 23. Specifically, during use, when the user pulls one support rod 21 to rotate relative to the mounting base 22, the pulled support rod 21 will cause the sliding base 23 to slide relative to the mounting base 22 via the corresponding connecting rod 24. This, in turn, causes the other support rods 21 to rotate synchronously via the other connecting rods 24 connected to the sliding base 23. This eliminates the need for the user to operate each support rod 21 individually, simplifying operation and improving usability.

[0056] In one embodiment, the mounting base 22 is provided with a first guide rod 221, which extends along the length direction of the pen body 1, and the sliding base 23 is provided with a first guide hole 231, in which the first guide rod 221 is inserted.

[0057] Specifically, since the sliding seat 23 needs to slide relative to the mounting seat 22, in order to ensure that the sliding seat 23 can slide smoothly to drive the multiple support rods 21 to rotate synchronously and smoothly, a first guide rod 221 can be provided on the mounting seat 22 to configure the first guide hole 231 provided on the sliding seat 23. In this way, the sliding seat 23 can slide smoothly along the first guide rod 221 relative to the mounting seat 22.

[0058] Alternatively, the mounting base 22 may be provided with a second guide hole, and the sliding base 23 may be provided with a second guide rod, the second guide rod extending along the length direction of the pen body 1 and inserted into the second guide hole.

[0059] In one embodiment of this application, the mounting base 22 and the sliding base 23 are disposed inside the pen body 1;

[0060] The pen body 1 is provided with a mounting hole 14, through which the support rod 21 and the connecting rod 24 pass.

[0061] Specifically, the mounting base 22 and the sliding base 23 can be built into the pen body 1. To meet the installation requirements of the support rod 21 and the connecting rod 24, a mounting hole 14 can be provided on the pen body 1. The corresponding ends of the support rod 21 and the connecting rod 24 pass through the mounting hole 14 and are connected to the mounting base 22 and the sliding base 23 in the pen body 1.

[0062] The mounting hole 14 can be a strip-shaped hole, which can simultaneously meet the requirements of the support rod 21 and the connecting rod 24 extending into the pen body 1 for connection.

[0063] In one embodiment, the mounting base 22 is provided with a plurality of first connecting portions 222, and a first mounting shaft 223 is provided on the first connecting portion 222;

[0064] The sliding seat 23 is provided with a plurality of second connecting parts 232, and the second connecting parts 232 are provided with second mounting shafts 233;

[0065] One end of the support rod 21 is hinged to the first mounting shaft 223, and the corresponding end of the connecting rod 24 is hinged to the second mounting shaft 233.

[0066] Specifically, in order to meet the requirements of hinged installation of support rod 21 and connecting rod 24, a first mounting shaft 223 is provided on the mounting base 22, and the corresponding end of support rod 21 is hinged to the first mounting shaft 223; similarly, the corresponding end of connecting rod 24 is hinged to the second mounting shaft 233.

[0067] In order to meet the requirements of rapid assembly in the actual assembly process, the end of the support rod 21 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​opening. The opening size of the first snap-fit ​​opening is smaller than that of the first mounting shaft 223. The first snap-fit ​​opening is snapped onto the first mounting shaft 223 so that the support rod 21 is hinged to the first mounting shaft 223.

[0068] Similarly, the corresponding end of the connecting rod 24 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​opening, which snaps onto the second mounting shaft 233 to enable the support rod 21 to be hinged onto the second mounting shaft 233.

[0069] In one embodiment, the mounting hole 14 is arranged opposite to the corresponding first connecting portion 222 and second connecting portion 232.

[0070] Specifically, taking the folding bracket 2 with three support rods 21 as an example, the pen body 1 has three mounting holes 14, which are evenly distributed on the pen body 1. The support rods 21 and connecting rods 24 are inserted into the pen body 1 through the corresponding mounting holes 14 and connected to the first mounting shaft 223 and the second mounting shaft 233 arranged opposite to the mounting holes 14. In this way, after the mounting base 22 and the sliding base 23 are built into the pen body 1, it is convenient for the assembly personnel to insert the support rods 21 and connecting rods 24 into the mounting holes 14 from the outside of the pen body 1 for assembly.

[0071] In one embodiment of this application, the first connecting portion 222 protrudes from the side wall of the mounting base 22, and a first positioning groove 224 is formed between two adjacent first connecting portions 222; the second connecting portion 232 protrudes from the side wall of the sliding base 23, and a second positioning groove 234 is formed between two adjacent second connecting portions 232; a protruding positioning portion 16 is formed on the inner wall of the pen body 1, and the positioning portion 16 is inserted into the corresponding first positioning groove 224.

[0072] Specifically, in order to precisely assemble the mounting base 22 and the sliding base 23 so that the first connecting part 222 and the second connecting part 232 can be accurately aligned with the corresponding mounting holes 14, a positioning part 16 can be provided on the inner wall of the pen body 1. The positioning part 16 protrudes from the inner wall surface of the pen body 1, so that when assembling the mounting base 22 and the sliding base 23, the positioning part 16 will be inserted into the first positioning groove 224 and the second positioning groove 234, so that the mounting base 22 and the sliding base 23 are precisely positioned and installed.

[0073] In one embodiment, limiting portions 17 are provided on both sides of the positioning portion 16, and the mounting base 22 abuts against the limiting portions 17.

[0074] Specifically, since the mounting base 22 is fixed in the pen body 1, limiting parts 17 are provided on both sides of the positioning part 16 to limit the mounting base 22 during assembly. The limiting parts 17 will limit the mounting base 22. After the mounting base 22 is assembled, it will abut against the limiting parts 17.

[0075] As for the sliding seat 23, the width of the second connecting part 232 will be smaller than the distance between the two adjacent limiting parts 17, so that the sliding seat 23 is not affected by the limiting part 17.

[0076] In one embodiment, the mounting base 22 is provided with a guide rib 225, and the sliding base 23 is provided with a guide groove 235. The guide rib 225 and the guide groove 235 extend along the length direction of the pen body 1, and the guide rib 225 is inserted into the guide groove 235.

[0077] Specifically, in order to ensure that the sliding seat 23 does not rotate relative to the mounting seat 22 during the sliding process, and also to ensure that the sliding seat 23 and the mounting seat 22 do not rotate during the assembly process, the guide rib 225 can cooperate with the guide groove 235 to ensure that the sliding seat 23 can only move relative to the mounting seat 22 without rotating.

[0078] This improves both the accuracy and ease of assembly, and ensures that the sliding seat 23 can slide smoothly relative to the mounting seat 22.

[0079] In another embodiment of this application, the mounting base 22 is formed on the outer surface of the pen body 1, and a third guide rod is also provided on the pen body 1. The third guide rod extends outward along the length direction of the pen body 1, and the sliding base 23 is slidably disposed on the third guide rod.

[0080] Specifically, the mounting base 22 and the sliding base 23 can also be installed on the outside of the pen body 1. The mounting base 22 can be directly formed on the pen body 1 to form an integral structure, or the mounting base 22 can be fixed on the pen body 1 to form a separate structure. In order to meet the sliding requirements, the sliding base 23 can also be provided with a third guide rod on the pen body 1 to meet the requirements of guiding the installation of the sliding base 23.

[0081] In one embodiment of this application, the installation position of the folding bracket 2 can be designed according to the specific structure of the pen body 1. For example, for a cap-removing pen, the pen body 1 includes a pen barrel 11, a pen core 12, and a pen cap 13. The pen core 12 is disposed in the pen barrel 11, the tip of the pen core 12 is located outside the pen barrel 11, and the pen cap 13 is detachably disposed on the pen barrel 11.

[0082] The folding bracket 2 is provided at the end of the pen barrel 11 or the end of the pen cap 13.

[0083] Specifically, the pen refill 12 can be a ballpoint pen refill 12, fountain pen refill 12, or ballpoint pen refill 12, depending on the type of pen. The folding bracket 2 can be installed on the pen barrel 11 or the pen cap 13 as needed.

[0084] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, uses the example of the folding bracket 2 being mounted on the pen cap 13.

[0085] When the folding bracket 2 is provided on the pen cap 13, the pen cap 13 includes a first cap tube 131, a second cap tube 132, and a fixing seat 133. The fixing seat 133 is sandwiched between the first cap tube 131 and the second cap tube 132. The inner wall of the first cap tube 131 is provided with the positioning part 16. The first cap tube 131 is also provided with the mounting hole 14. The mounting hole 14 is located between two adjacent positioning parts 16. The mounting seat 22 is located between the limiting part 17 and the fixing seat 133.

[0086] Specifically, in the actual assembly process, the sliding seat 23 and the mounting seat 22 are first assembled together, and then placed into the first cap tube 131. The positioning part 16 and the limiting part 17 in the first cap tube 131 are used to position and install the sliding seat 23 and the mounting seat 22. Then, the second cap tube 132 is threadedly connected to the first cap tube 131 so that the fixing seat 133 is pressed onto the mounting seat 22 through the second cap tube 132, thereby realizing the fixed installation of the mounting seat 22.

[0087] The support rod 21 and the connecting rod 24 pass through the mounting hole 14 on the first cap tube 131 and connect to the mounting base 22 and the sliding base 23, thereby completing the assembly.

[0088] When using the pen, the user can pull the pen cap 13 off the pen barrel 11, and the pen cap 13 can also be placed upright on the table via the unfolded folding bracket 2.

[0089] This application also provides a method of using the above-mentioned stand-type writing instrument, including: when it is necessary to place the stand-type writing instrument upright, rotating and unfolding the support rod 21 to support the pen body 1 upright through multiple support rods 21.

[0090] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the present invention are as follows: The stand-type writing instrument provided by the present invention has a folding stand on the pen body, and the folding stand is equipped with multiple support rods. During use, the support rods can rotate relative to the pen body according to the state of use. Thus, during normal writing with the pen body, the support rods rotate and retract close to the pen body to ensure normal writing. When it is necessary to place the pen body vertically, the multiple support rods can be rotated and unfolded to support the pen body in an upright position. This satisfies the user's normal writing requirements and also enables vertical placement, thus improving the user experience. This is the technical problem that the present invention aims to solve.

[0091] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention 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 of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
