As shown in fig. 1a, a liquid storage element 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention is used for storing and releasing liquid in an applicator 1, the liquid storage element 100 is made of a bicomponent fiber 2 by bonding, the inside has a three-dimensional structure of a three-dimensional network, the bicomponent fiber 2 has a sheath layer 21 and a core layer 22, the liquid storage element 100 transmits the liquid to an applicator head 50 of the applicator 1 or transmits the liquid to the applicator head 50 of the applicator 1 through a water-guiding core 31 of the applicator 1.

< liquid storage element >

The reservoir member 100 can be formed in any suitable geometric shape, such as a cylindrical shape, a square cylindrical shape, an elliptical cylindrical shape, etc., depending on the interior space of the applicator housing 60 or the receiving chamber 61 of the applicator 1. The reservoir member 100 may be provided with a reservoir member through-hole 130 extending axially through the reservoir member 100 to facilitate installation of the applicator tip 50 and the wick 31.

The liquid storage element 100 may include only the liquid storage portion 121, or include the liquid storage portion 121 and the liquid collection portion 122 having a density higher than that of the liquid storage portion 121, or include the liquid storage portion 121 and the density increasing portion 125, or include the liquid storage portion 121, the liquid collection portion 122, and the density increasing portion 125 having a density increasing from the liquid storage portion 121 to the liquid collection portion 122.

The higher density portion of the liquid collection portion 122 or the density increasing portion 125 may be brought into contact with the coating head 50, and the lower density end of the liquid collection portion 122 or the density increasing portion 125 may be brought into abutment with the liquid reservoir 121. This arrangement allows liquid to be concentrated from less dense areas to more dense areas during use, thereby improving the stability of writing and reducing the amount of liquid remaining in the reservoir component 100 after use. It is also possible to provide reservoir member 100 with a reservoir 121 and a collector 122 and a density increasing section 125 disposed between reservoir 121 and collector 122 by partial radial compression.

In this embodiment, the liquid storage element 100 only includes the liquid storage portion 121, and the density of the liquid storage portion 121 is 0.03 g/cm³To 0.12 g/cm³E.g. 0.03 g/cm³0.04 g/cm³0.05 g/cm³0.07 g/cm³0.09 g/cm³0.12 g/cm³Preferably 0.04 g/cm³To 0.09 g/cm³More preferably 0.05 g/cm³To 0.07 g/cm³. When the density of the liquid storage part 121 is less than 0.03 g/cm³The liquid storage element 100 is difficult to manufacture. When the density of the liquid storage part 121 is 0.03 g/cm³To 0.04 g/cm³In the meantime, the strength of the liquid storage element 100 with the through hole arranged in the axial direction is slightly insufficient, and the liquid storage element is not easy to assemble. When the density of the liquid storage part 121 is more than 0.12 g/cm³In the meantime, the liquid discharge efficiency using the post-stage liquid storage element 100 is poor, and the residual liquid after use is high.

At the preferred 0.04 g/cm³To 0.09 g/cm³In the density range of the liquid storage part 121, the proper density of the liquid storage part 121 is selected according to the viscosity, the surface tension and the application requirements of the stored liquid, so that the porosity of the liquid storage part 121 is high, the liquid storage capacity is large, the release performance is good, and the manufacture of the writing tool 1 with excellent performance is facilitated.

It is noted that to prevent leakage during storage, transport, and use, the volume of liquid loaded into the reservoir member 100 is preferably no more than 90% of the capillary void volume in the reservoir member 100.

< bicomponent fiber >

As shown in fig. 1c and 1d, the liquid storage member 100 according to the present embodiment is made by bonding bicomponent fibers 2, having a three-dimensional network three-dimensionally inside, the bicomponent fibers 2 having a sheath layer 21 and a core layer 22. The fibers may be bonded with a binder, plasticizer, or heat, preferably heat to avoid introducing impurities during the process of making the liquid storage element 100. The fiber component in the utility model is a polymer for manufacturing fiber. Additives for the surface of the fibers, such as surfactants, are not considered to be components of the fibers. The liquid storage element 100 of this embodiment can be wetted by the stored liquid, and a surfactant can be added to change the ability of the liquid storage element 100 to be wetted by the liquid.

As shown in fig. 1c, the skin layer 21 and the core layer 22 may be of a concentric structure. As shown in fig. 1d, the skin layer 21 and the core layer 22 may also be of an eccentric structure. Alternatively, the liquid storage element 100 may be formed using bicomponent fibers 2 in a side-by-side configuration, but thermal bonding is difficult. Of course, the liquid storage element 100 can also be made of a three-component skin-core structure fiber, but the three-component skin-core structure fiber is difficult to manufacture, high in cost and poor in cost performance.

The bicomponent fibers 2 are filaments or staple fibers. The liquid storage element 100 made of the filaments is high in strength, and the liquid storage element 100 made of the staple fibers is good in elasticity. The manufacturer can select the appropriate bicomponent fibers 2 to form a reservoir component 100 of the appropriate density and shape based on the performance requirements of the reservoir component 100.

The core layer 22 of the bicomponent fiber 2 of this example has a melting point higher than that of the sheath layer 21 by 20 ℃ or more. The core layer 22 of the bicomponent fiber 2 has a melting point higher than that of the sheath layer 21 by more than 20 ℃, so that the core layer 22 can maintain certain rigidity during thermal bonding between fibers, and the liquid storage element 100 can be conveniently molded.

The sheath 21 of the bicomponent fiber 2 may be polyethylene, polypropylene or other polyolefin. Polyolefins are polymers of olefins, and are generally a generic name for thermoplastic resins obtained by polymerizing or copolymerizing an α -olefin such as ethylene, propylene, 1-butene, 1-pentene, 1-hexene, or the like, alone. The polyolefins have an inert molecular structure, do not contain active groups on the molecular chain, and hardly react with liquid components in the application field of the present invention, thus having unique advantages.

When the skin layer 21 is polyethylene, such as linear low density polyethylene, low density polyethylene or high density polyethylene, the core layer 22 may be polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, or the like. When the skin layer 21 is polypropylene, the core layer 22 may be polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), or the like. In addition, polyamide can also be used as the skin layer 21, and the polyamide is rich in elasticity and is beneficial to manufacturing the liquid storage element 100 with low density.

The bicomponent fiber 2 has a denier of 1 to 15, preferably 1.5 to 10. Bicomponent fibers 2 having a sheath-core structure of less than 1 denier are difficult and costly to manufacture. A liquid storage element 100 made of fibers above 15 denier has insufficient capillary force and is prone to leakage. Sheath-core bicomponent fibers 2 of between 1 and 15 denier are readily thermally bonded into a liquid storage element 100 of lower density and suitable capillary force, with sheath-core bicomponent fibers 2 of between 1.5 and 10 denier being particularly suitable and less costly. Bicomponent fibers 2 of different deniers may be blended to form the reservoir component 100 to optimize the storage and delivery of liquids or to reduce costs. It is also possible to reduce costs by incorporating some monocomponent fibers, such as polypropylene fibers, into the bicomponent fibers 2 without affecting the processing and performance of the liquid storage member 100.

In this embodiment, it is preferred that the bicomponent fiber 2 have a denier of 1.5, 2, 3 or 6, the sheath 21 is polyethylene having a melting point of about 130 ℃, the core 22 is polypropylene having a melting point of about 165 ℃, and the reservoir 121 has a density of 0.04 to 0.09 g/cm³The liquid storage element 100 has the advantages of large liquid storage capacity, stable release, low residual liquid amount and the like.

< accommodation Chamber >

The accommodating chamber 61 is a housing for accommodating the liquid storage element 100, and may be made of plastic, metal, or the like, or may be made of a paper-plastic composite film, a paper-aluminum-plastic composite film, or the like. The cross-sectional shape of the receiving chamber 61 may be circular, rectangular, oval, etc. to match the shape of the reservoir component 100.

The receiving chamber 61 may be an integral part of the writing instrument 1 or may be a separate component. The reservoir 100 and the receiving chamber 61 can be assembled into a replaceable unit so that other parts of the applicator 1 can be reused to reuse resources.

< Water diversion core >

The utility model discloses in can conduct liquid to scribble write head 50 from stock solution component 100 through leading water core 31. The wick 31 is capable of absorbing liquid from the reservoir member 100 and maintaining a relatively constant liquid content in the wick 31, thereby improving the stability of the writing and reducing the amount of liquid remaining in the reservoir member 100 after use. For applicator heads 50 that are not adapted to be directly connected to the reservoir element 100, such as some eyeliner bristles, the wick 31 may be conveniently connected to the reservoir element 100.

The fiber density of the core wrap is typically between 0.15 g/cm³To 0.3 g/cm³The density of the 121.03 g/cm of the middle liquid storage part of the utility model is 0.03 g/cm³To 0.12 g/cm³Preferably 0.04 g/cm³To 0.09 g/cm³Compared with the common coiled core, the utility model discloses well stock solution portion 121's capillary force is showing and is reducing, and this is favorable to liquid release very much and reduces and remain. However, it is disadvantageous in that the liquid storage element 100, when used alone, is susceptible to leakage due to its low capillary force. The utility model discloses creatively combine stock solution component 100 and diversion core 31, insert diversion core 31 in stock solution component 100, based on the high capillary force of diversion core 31 to promote the leak protection ability of scribbling instrument 1 by a wide margin, even the length of stock solution portion 121 reaches 60 to 80mm and can not leak yet. In use, the wick 31 continuously absorbs liquid from the liquid storage element 100 and transfers it to the applicator tip 50, resulting in a steady and smooth release of liquid with a low residual rate. The contradiction between the leakage prevention and release stability and the liquid residue after use in the painting and writing tool 1 is well solved.

< writing Instrument >

As shown in FIG. 1a, a fluid storage element 100 according to the present invention can be used in an applicator 1 to store and release fluid, the applicator 1 delivering the fluid to the applicator head 50 of the applicator 1 through the wick 31 of the applicator 1.

Ribs can be provided on the inner wall of the applicator housing 60 of the applicator 1 so that a gap is formed between the inner wall of the applicator housing 60 and the outer wall of the receiving chamber 61. The gap can avoid the pressure difference formed at the two ends of the liquid storage element, so that the painting is smooth, and the liquid leakage risk of the painting tool is reduced.

The applicator 1 according to this embodiment further includes an applicator head mount 10, the applicator head mount 10 being disposed at the front end of the applicator housing 60 for supporting the applicator head 50. An air intake hole is provided in the head base 10, not shown.

The liquid storage component 100 is made of 2 denier bicomponent staple fibers thermally bonded, with the skin layer 21 being polyethylene and the core layer 22 being polypropylene. The liquid storage element 100 has an outer diameter of 5.7 mm, a through hole diameter of 1.8 mm, a length of 62 mm, and a volume of 1.42 cm³The density of the liquid storage part 121 is 0.04 g/cm³0.05 g/cm³0.07 g/cm³0.09 g/cm³0.12 g/cm³And 0.15 g/cm³Writing liquid1.00 g.

And (4) carrying out scribing test by using a scribing instrument, weighing the liquid output amount every time 25 meters is drawn, and repeating the test for 21 times for each product. And calculating the data to obtain the average value and the coefficient of variation of the liquid outlet amount per meter, and the liquid residual rate and the coefficient of variation after marking for 200 meters.

The test result shows that the concentration of the catalyst is 0.04 g/cm³To 0.15 g/cm³The lower the density of the reservoir component 100, the lower the attenuation during the first 150 meters of scoring. The density is 0.04 g/cm³To 0.12 g/cm³When the liquid level is within the range, the liquid output attenuation of 200 m of the drawn line is not more than 50%, and the average liquid residue is not more than 30%. And when the density is 0.15 g/cm³In time, the liquid yield during scribing decays significantly and the average liquid residue exceeds 37%. It is generally believed that the smaller the drop off during scribing, the better the user experience. The smaller the liquid residue, the higher the liquid utilization efficiency.
