This application claims the priority and benefit of Chinese patent application serial no. 202221359473.7, filed on May 23, 2022. The entirety of Chinese patent application serial no. 202221359473.7 is hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part of this specification.
The present application relates to a field of marker pen production technology, and, in particular, relates to a double-head marker pen.
A marker pen, as the commonly used learning office supply, is usually used to quickly express a design idea and draw a design rendering.
At present, the marker pens are mainly divided into a single headed marker pen and a double-head marker pen. In particular, the double-head marker pen usually includes a penholder and two pen heads formed at both ends of the penholder. Inner tubes of the two pen heads are respectively mounted with a pointed pen tip and a flat pen tip. An inner cavity of the penholder located between the two pen heads is provided with a pigment solvent storage cotton core, and pigment solvent suction rods of the pointed pen tip and the flat pen tip are inserted into the pigment solvent storage cotton core respectively from two pen head ends. When in use, the pigment solvent suction rods of the pointed pen tip and the flat pen tip respectively suck the pigment solvent in both ends of the pigment solvent storage cotton core, and deliver the pigment solvent to an end of the corresponding pointed pen tip or flat pen tip extending out of the pen head, thus writing and painting functions of the pen tip are achieved.
In view of the above related technologies, due to a volatility of the pigment solvent in the marker pen, for the traditional double-head marker pen, the pigment solvent storage cotton core is usually sealed inside the penholder and is non-detachable; and additionally, when a user frequently uses one of the pen tips, the pigment solvent in the corresponding end of the pigment solvent storage cotton core will be used up faster. Therefore, after the pigment solvent in one end of the pigment solvent storage cotton core is used up, a user has to use another marker pen instead, with the usable pen tip at the other end being discarded, so that the use cost of the marker pen is higher, and there is a room for improvement.
In order to reduce the use cost of the double-head marker pen, the present application provides the double-head marker pen.
The double-head marker pen provided in the present application adopts the following technical solutions.
The double-head marker pen includes a first penholder, a second penholder and a connecting tube; one end of the first penholder is formed with a first pen head, and one end of the second penholder is formed with a second pen head; and an end of the first penholder away from the first pen head is detachably connected with an end of the second penholder away from the second pen head by the connecting tube.

The end of the first penholder away from the first pen head and the end of the second penholder away from the second pen head are respectively connected to both ends of the connecting tube, thus the double-head marker pen are assembled. After the pigment solvents in the first penholder or the second penholder are exhausted, the user removes the first penholder or the second penholder where the pigment solvents are exhausted from the connecting tube, and the new first penholder or the new second penholder are mounted. Thus, the unused pen tip can be used normally, and the normal use function of the double-head marker pen can be restored, so that the operations of replacing the double-head marker pen and discarding the unused pen tip are replaced, and further the utilization rate of each pen tip of the marker pen is effectively ensured and the use cost of the marker pen is effectively reduced.

In some embodiments, one end of the first penholder formed with the first pen head is provided with a first pen cap, and the second penholder formed with the second pen head is provided with a second pen cap; and the first pen cap abuts against the first stopper ring, and the second pen cap abuts against the second stopper ring.
In the above technical solutions, the pointed pen tip and the flat pen tip are covered by using the first pen cap and the second pen cap respectively, one the one hand, it helps to reduce the pollution f the external environment on the corresponding pen tip; on the other hand, the first pen cap and the second pen cap are configured to seal the spare pointed pen tip and the spare flat pen tip respectively, so as to reduce the evaporation of pigment solvents from the part of the pointed pen tip extending out of the first head and the part of the flat pen tip extending out of the second pen head.
In some embodiments, a part of the first stopper ring corresponding to an outer circular surface of the connecting tube protrudes from an outer circular surface of the first pen cap and the outer circular surface of the connecting tube, and forms a first edge; and a part of the second stopper ring corresponding to the outer circular surface of the connecting tube protrudes from an outer circular surface of the second pen cap and the outer circular surface of the connecting tube, and forms a second edge.
In the above technical solutions, when in use, the user presses the first edge or the second edge with one hand, and pulls the connecting tube with the other hand, so as to separate the first penholder or the second penholder from the connecting tube; the user press the first edge or the second edge with one hand, and pulls the first pen cap or the second pen cap with the other hand, so as to separate the first pen cap or the second pen cap from the corresponding first penholder or the second penholder. The first edge and the second edge are provided, which facilitates the users to separate the corresponding first penholder and the second penholder from the connecting tube, as well as the corresponding first pen cap and the second pen cap from the connecting tube, thereby the convenience when the user uses the double-head marker pen is further improved.
In some embodiments, the end of the first penholder away from the first pen head is defined with a first cotton core insertion port, which is in communication with an inner cavity of the first penholder; the end of the second penholder away from the second pen head is defined with a second cotton core insertion port in communication with an inner cavity of the second penholder; and the first cotton core insertion port and the second cotton core insertion port are detachably provided with a closure, respectively.
In the above technical solutions, after the pigment solvents in the inner cavity of the first penholder or the second penholder are exhausted, the user removes the closure in the corresponding first cotton core insertion port or the corresponding second cotton core insertion port, then removes the corresponding pigment solvent storage cotton core from the inner cavity of the first penholder or the second penholder, and replaces with the new pigment solvent storage cotton core. Optionally, the pigment solvents are directly added to the corresponding pigment solvent storage cotton core from the corresponding first cotton core insertion port or the second cotton core insertion port, so as to refill the corresponding pointed pen tip or the flat pen tip with the ink and restore the use function of the corresponding pen tip. Then, the closure is mounted again, so that the corresponding pointed pen tip or the flat pen tip can be reused, and the service life of the corresponding pen tip can be extended, thus the use cost of the double-head marker pen can be further reduced.
In some embodiments, a middle part of the closure is mounted with an elastic sealing part, and an ink injection port is defined in and runs through the elastic sealing part along the length direction of the first penholder or the length direction of the second penholder.
In the above technical solutions, after the pigment solvents in the inner cavity of the first penholder or the second penholder are exhausted, the user uses a syringe to suck the pigment solvents, removes the closure and inserts the syringe needle into the inner cavity of the corresponding first penholder or the second penholder from the ink injection port. Then, the user pushes the handle of the syringe, and the pigment solvents are injected into the pigment solvent storage cotton core in the inner cavity of the first penholder or the second penholder from the syringe needle. After injecting the ink, the syringe needle is removed from the elastic sealing part, and the ink injection port in the elastic sealing part automatically closes, so as to reduce the operation of manually sealing the ink injection port by the user. The ink injection operation steps are simplified effectively, and further the efficiency of ink injection operations is improved effectively, and the convenience when the user uses the double-head marker pen is ensured effectively.

Additionally, in order to improve a convenience of detaching or mounting the corresponding penholder, a portion of the first stopper ring 14 corresponding to an outer circular surface of the connecting tube 3 protrudes from an outer circular surface of the first pen cap 13 and the outer circular surface of the connecting tube 3, and forms a first edge 141; and a portion of the second stopper ring 24 corresponding to the outer circular surface of the connecting tube 3 protrudes from an outer circular surface of the second pen cap 23 and the outer circular surface of the connecting tube 3, and forms a second edge 241. When in use, the user can hold the first pen cap 13 or the second pen cap 23 with one hand while pressing the first edge 141 or the second edge 241, and pulls the connecting tube 3 with the other hand, so as to separate the first penholder 1 or the second penholder 2 from the connecting tube 3. Similarly, the user can hold the connecting tube 3 with one hand while pressing the first edge 141 or the second edge 241, and pulls the first pen cap 13 or the second pen cap 23 with the other hand, so as to separate the first pen cap 13 or the second pen cap 23 from the corresponding first penholder 1 or the second penholder 2.
An implementation principle of the double-head marker pen in the embodiments of the present application is as follows: in actual use, the user holds the connecting tube 3 with one hand while pressing the first edge 141 or the second edge 241 with fingers, and pulls the first pen cap 13 or the second pen cap 23 with the other hand, thus the first pen cap 13 or the second pen cap 23 is removed from the corresponding first penholder 1 or the second penholder 2. Thereby, the corresponding pointed pen tip 12 or flat pen tip 22 can be used for writing and drawing.
After the pigment solvents in the first penholder 1 or the second penholder 2 are exhausted, the user can pull the corresponding first penholder 1 or the second penholder 2 to remove the first penholder 1 or the second penholder 2 exhausted of the pigment solvents from the connecting tube 3. Then, the user can use the syringe to suck the pigment solvents and insert the syringe needle into the inner cavity of the corresponding first penholder 1 or the second penholder 2 from the ink injection port 51, so as to inject the pigment solvents into the pigment solvent storage cotton core in the inner cavity of the first penholder 1 or the second penholder 2. After injecting the ink, the syringe needle can be removed from the elastic sealing part 5. Then, the end of the corresponding first penholder 1 or the second penholder 2 away from the corresponding pen head can be inserted into the connecting tube 3 from the corresponding opening of the connecting tube 3, and the corresponding first penholder 1 or the second penholder 2 can be pushed to slide relative to the inner wall of the connecting tube 3 until the corresponding first stopper ring 14 or the second stopper ring 24 abuts against a corresponding end surface of the connecting tube 3, thereby finishing the replacement of the first penholder 1 or the second penholder 2 exhausted of the pigment solvents.
In this way, instead of replacing a double-head marker pen and discarding an unused pen tip, each of the pen tips of the double-head marker pen is reusable, so that an utilization rate of each of the pen tips of the double-head marker pen is effectively improved, and thus a use cost of the marker pen is effectively reduced. In addition, this contributes to resource saving and environmental protection.
The above are the preferred embodiments of the present application, which are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
