A first sliding groove 21 is defined on the sidewall of the knife box 2 along the length direction. A mounting groove 222 is defined through the sidewall of the sliding knife 22. A driving rod 221 is fixed with the inner wall of the mounting groove 222 in a plug-in manner. The driving rod 221 is arranged to be perpendicular to the length direction of the sliding knife 22. The end of the driving rod 221 away from the sliding knife 22 is slidably connected in the first sliding groove 21. The operator drives the driving rod 221, so that the sliding knife 22 is slid in the knife box 2.


Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, a limiting block 211 is fixed on the inner wall of the first sliding groove 21. Two limiting blocks 211 are provided in the present application. Two limiting blocks 211 are oppositely arranged. The limiting block 211 is positioned at the end of the first sliding groove 21 close to the knife opening 23. The operator pushes the driving rod 221, so that the sharp end of the sliding knife 22 is slid out from the knife opening 23. At this time, the outer wall of the driving rod 221 is slid passing by the limiting block 211, the driving rod 221 slides between two limiting blocks 211. An interference fit is formed between the driving rod 221 and the limiting block 211. The limiting block 211 limits the driving rod 221 from continued sliding, so that the cutting of the sliding knife 22 is more stable.


Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a second sliding groove 24 is defined on the outer wall of the knife box 2 along the length direction thereof. A driving member for driving the driving rod 221 is provided in the second sliding groove 24. The driving member includes a driving block 3 that is slidably connected in the second sliding groove 24. The driving block 3 is integrated and fixed with the end of the driving rod 221 away from the sliding knife 22. The driving block 3 is connected to the inner wall of the first sliding groove 21 by an arc transition. The operator pushes the driving block 3 to drive the driving rod 221 to slide in the first sliding groove 21, so that the sliding knife 22 is slid in the knife box 2.


Referring to FIG. 4, the driving rod 221 is configured as an arc transition at the periphery along the thickness direction. The arc transition at the periphery of the driving rod 221 plays a guiding role on the sliding of the driving rod 221 when the driving rod 221 is slid to the limiting block 211, so as to make the sliding of the driving rod 221 easier.


Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, a blocking block 241 is fixed on an outer surface of the second sliding groove 24. Two blocking blocks 241 are provided in the present application. The outer wall of the blocking block 241 is configured as an arc transition. The operator pushed the driving block 3, so that the sharp end of the sliding knife 22 is slid out from the knife opening 23. At this time, the blocking block 241 abuts against the side of the driving block 3 facing the inner chamber of the knife box 2 to limit the sliding of the driving block 3, so that the operator can cut more stable.


Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, a spring (not shown in the figures) is provided in the second sliding groove 24. One end of the spring abuts against the driving rod 221, the other end abuts against the outer surface of the side of the second sliding groove 24 away from the knife opening 23. When the driving rod 221 is slid passing by the limiting block 211, the spring is in a stretched state, in which the length of the spring is larger than the length in a natural state thereof. When it is required to return the driving rod 221 to the original position after using the sliding knife 22, the driving block 3 is prodded, so that the driving rod 221 is driven to leave between two limiting blocks 211. After removing the force manually applied to the driving block 3, the driving rod 221 is elastically returned to the original position under the force of the spring to restore the elastic deformation.


Referring to FIG. 5, the penholder 1 is configured as hollow. Two ends of the penholder 1 are both in communication with the external environment. A plurality of reinforced plates 11 are integrated and fixed on the inner wall of the penholder 1. The reinforced plate 11 is provided along the length direction of the penholder 1. The arrangement of the reinforced plate 11 increases the strength of the cylinder-shaped penholder 1, so that the penholder 1 can withstand a stronger impact from outside.


Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 5, the opposite end of the knife box 2 relative to the end with the sliding knife 22 abuts against the reinforced plate 11 on the inner wall of the penholder 1 after inserting in the penholder 1. The plug-in end of the knife box 2 has a cylinder shape. The end of the knife box 2 is snapped in the penholder 1. When the operator pushes out the sliding knife 22, the finger applies the force on the driving block 3 to push out the sliding knife 22. The improper operation may cause the cylinder-shaped end of the knife box 2 separating from the penholder 1. By using a thread design, the knife box 2 is not easy to separate from the penholder 1, so that the pushing operation of the whole sliding knife 22 is safer, which is not easy to cause the accidental injury. Referring to FIG. 5, the inner chamber of the penholder 1 is configured to accommodate the ink sponge. A mounting tube 12 is fixed with the end of the penholder 1 away from the knife box 2. The mounting tube 12 has a shrunken opening. Two ends of the mounting tube 12 are both in communication with the external environment. The end of the mounting tube 12 away from the knife box 2 is configured to fix the pen nib. The ink sponge supplies the pen nib with ink. The operator holds the mounting tube 12, and sign on the outer wall of the package by the pen nib.


Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 5, the end of the knife box 2 that inserted in the penholder 1 is made of elastic material, such as elastic rubber. After inserting in the opening end of the penholder 1, the elastic end abuts against the inner wall of the penholder 1, so as to prevent the ink in the ink sponge inside the penholder 1 reversely osmoses into knife box 2.


The end surface of the knife box 2 made of the elastic rubber abuts against the end of the ink sponge, equivalent to blocking the ink at one end of the ink sponge, preventing the ink from osmosing from the end of the ink sponge close to the knife box 2, so as to reduce the waste and low utilization rate of ink.


Referring to FIG. 5, a pen cover 121 is sleeved on the outer wall of the mounting tube 12. The pen cover 121 has a cylinder shape. The inner chamber of the pen cover 121 is configured as hollow.
