Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a stylus, and more particularly to a capacitive stylus. [Prior Art] With the development of the 3C (Computer, Communications and Consumer) industry, more and more people use handheld devices as an aid in life. For example, a common handheld device includes a personal digital assistant (PDA), a mobile phone, a smart phone, etc., which is lightweight and portable, and thus is used. The number of people is increasing and the functions required are becoming wider and wider. For example, a stylus is a common hand-held shock-operated ear stylus. It uses a soft conductive material & is a material for the pen. Because the material of the tip is conductive, it is When the capacitive touch screen is touched, the signal is sensed by changing the capacitance value of the surface of the touch screen. Since the capacitance value is proportional to the contact area, how to add the contact area between the stylus pen tip and the touch screen, and the overall volume and weight thereof becomes an important issue. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a stylus for increasing the contact area between a stylus tip and a touch thief under the premise of increasing the stylus of the stylus. 201133293 In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, a conductive sheath and a conductive tip are proposed. The conductive tip is configured with a V-guide: the pen includes a terminal, wherein the conductive tip is a hollow structure. Conductive 2 pen - and contact with the socket; there is a first section thickness 'contact portion has a second section thick sound sleeve 4:: the degree is smaller than the first section thickness, so that the contact portion is more than the socket A large amount of deformation occurs. Pick up. The 接触 is in a curved contact with the force contact. The contact portion is substantially shaped. The thickness of the second section is preferably less than or equal to or equal to a half. The first section thickness is less than or equal to 1.5 mm. One of the thicknesses of the conductive layer can be a conductive rubber. The end of the conductive pen has a stud, a material stud of the head, and a (four) gap between the contact and the stud is connected to 30 mm. The convex;] 丨糸 is preferably between 0.5 3.0 ^ &amp; the column may be curved, hemispherical or more comprising a sheet disposed outside the conductive material, a two-layer woven fabric. The thickness of the contact layer is smaller than that of the scale of G.l5j, and the thickness of the cross section of the contact portion is smaller than that of the sleeve, so that the contact portion is more easily crushed and deformed when applied. Increase the contact area of the contact _ control screen. [Embodiment] The spirit of the present invention will be clearly described in the following drawings and detailed descriptions. Any of the prior art (4) domain towels has the general knowledge: after the example, when the technology can be modified by the present invention, The spirit and scope of the invention are not departed. Referring to Fig. 1, there is shown a cross-sectional view of 201133293 of the first embodiment of the stylus of the present invention. The stylus 100 includes a conductive stylus 110 and a conductive tip 120. The conductive tip 120 is disposed at one end of the conductive pen tip 110, and the conductive pen tip 120 has a hollow structure. The conductive tip 120 includes a socket portion 122 and a contact portion 124 connected thereto. One end of the conductive pen 110 has a stud 112, wherein the socket 122 is a post 112 for coupling to the conductive pen 110, and the contact 124 is in contact with the touch panel during writing. A gap g is maintained between the contact portion 124 and the stud 112. The conductive tip 120 has a hollow structure, which can increase the shape of the contact portion 124, thereby increasing the contact area between the conductive tip 120 and the touch screen. The conductive tip 120 is of a hollow structure and may be made of a flexible conductive material such as conductive rubber or conductive plastic. The socket portion 122 has a first section thickness mountain, and the contact portion 124 has a second section thickness d2, wherein the second section thickness d2 is smaller than the first section thickness d!. In other words, the thickness of the contact portion 124 is smaller than the thickness of the socket portion 122. Preferably, the sleeve portion 122 and the contact portion 124 are connected in an arc shape, that is, the thickness of the socket portion 122 is gradually decreased toward the contact portion 124 to avoid damaging the structural strength of the conductive tip 120. The second section thickness d2 of the aforementioned contact portion 124 mainly refers to a uniform thickness which is stabilized after the sleeve portion 122 starts to be reduced, that is, the thickness of the end portion of the contact portion 124. In other words, the second section thickness d2 is substantially the smallest cross-sectional thickness of the contact portion 124. The first section thickness of the socket portion 122 is the same as that of a general stylus pen tip, and its thickness is less than or equal to 1.5 mm. The second cross-sectional thickness d2 of the contact portion 124 is smaller than the first wearing thickness mountain of the socket portion 122, wherein the second cross-sectional thickness d2 of the contact portion 124 is preferably less than half of the thickness of the first cross-section. The thickness of the first wearing surface di of the socket portion 122 is not particularly reduced, so that the structural strength of the socket portion 122 coupled to the conductive sheath 11 不 is not affected. Moreover, since the second section thickness 纟d2 of the contact portion m in the present case is smaller than the first section thickness mountain of the socket portion 122, the contact portion 124 generates a larger deformation variable when compared with the socket portion 122. Therefore, the phenomenon of the collapsing of the pen is more obvious, so as to increase the contact area between the contact portion 124 and the touch screen to enhance the signal intensity, thereby effectively improving the sensitivity during writing, or avoiding the insensitivity caused by the pen tip being too small. The situation. The outer portion of the contact portion 124 is curved and preferably symmetrical to facilitate the user to use it obliquely at different operating angles. The shape of the contact abutment 124 in the embodiment is substantially hemispherical and the shape of the contact portion 124 may be hemispherical, but not limited thereto. The outer shape of the stud 112 and the contact portion 124 are preferably matched to each other such that the gap g between the stud 112 and the contact portion 124 is relatively uniform. The gap g is preferably from 0.5 to 3.0 mm. Referring to Figure 2, there is shown a cross-sectional view of a second embodiment of the stylus of the present invention. In the stylus 200, the contact portion 224 of the conductive tip 22 can be substantially conical in shape. The second wearing surface thickness 接触 of the contact portion 224 of the conductive pen tip 22 is smaller than the first section thickness mountain of the socket portion 222. The contact portion 224 has a gap g with the stud 212 of the conductive sheath 210 such that the contact portion 224 of the conductive tip 220 forms a hollow structure. The shape of the stud 212 corresponds to the conical shape of the contact portion 224, and the gap is between 〇 5 and 3. mm. Referring to Figure 3, there is shown a cross-sectional view of a third embodiment of the stylus of the present invention. The stylus pen 300 includes a contact layer 330 disposed on the surface of the 201133293 surface of the conductive pen tip 32〇 in addition to the conductive pen holder 31〇 and the conductive pen tip 320 that is sleeved on the conductive pen tip 31〇. The contact layer 330 is disposed at a position of the contact portion 324 of the corresponding conductive tip 320 to increase the smoothness during writing. The material of the contact layer 330 may be a non-woven fabric. The thickness of the contact layer 330 is preferably less than or equal to 0.15 mm. It should be noted that although the protrusion 312 and the contact portion 324 are hemispherical in this embodiment, the shape of the protrusion 312 and the contact portion 324 may be curved, conical, or the like, and is not limited thereto. It will be apparent from the above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention that the application of the present invention has the following advantages. The conductive pen tip has a hollow structure, and the cross-sectional thickness of the contact portion is smaller than the cross-sectional thickness of the sleeve portion, so that the contact portion can be more easily collapsed and deformed when the force is applied, so as to effectively increase the contact area between the contact portion and the touch screen. Although the present invention has been described above in terms of a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the invention, and it is obvious to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The scope of the invention is defined by the scope of the appended claims.
