[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application more clear, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the specific embodiments of this application and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] The technical solutions disclosed in various embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] The charging box 200 disclosed in this application is as follows Figures 1 to 9 As shown, it includes a body 230, a base 240 and a button 260. The body 230 has a storage space 231, which can be used to store electronic devices to be charged, such as wireless headphones, etc. The base 240 is movably arranged in the storage space 231 to serve as a carrier for the button 260. Specifically, the button 260 is arranged on the base 240. In this way, the button 260 is built into the body 230, realizing a hidden design of the button 260.

[0031] The button 260 is used to achieve pairing of related devices, such as pairing of wireless headphones with electronic devices, or to achieve other corresponding functions of the charging box 200, which are achieved by triggering the button 260. In this application, since the button 260 is a hidden design built into the accommodating space 231, it needs to be indirectly triggered through the base 240, and the specific method is as follows:

[0032] The base 240 can be moved along the central axis O to change positions, such as descending to a first position or ascending to a second position. When the base 240 is in the first position, the button 260 is in a first state; when the base 240 is in the second position, the button 260 is in a second state. In other words, the position of the base 240 allows the button 260 to switch between the first and second states, thereby triggering or de-activating the button 260. To increase the sensitivity of the button 260, the button 260 may be a pot-type button.

[0033] The first way to trigger button 260 is as follows Figures 1 to 4As shown, when the button 260 is facing the bottom of the accommodating space 231, when the base 240 reaches the first position by descending, the first state is the triggered state. At this time, the charging box 200 can realize the corresponding function by triggering the button 260, such as pairing of wireless headphones and mobile phones. When the base 240 reaches the second position by rising, the second state is the non-triggered state, and the function realized by the button 260 can be canceled at this time.

[0034] The second way to trigger button 260 is as follows Figures 5 to 9 As shown, when the button 260 is away from the bottom of the accommodating space 231, when the base 240 reaches the first position by descending, the first state is the non-trigger state, and the function realized by the button 260 is canceled at this time. When the base 240 reaches the second position by rising, the second state is the trigger state, and at this time the charging box 200 can realize the corresponding function by triggering the button 260.

[0035] It can be seen that the effects brought about by the design of this application are mainly reflected in two aspects. First, the hidden design of the button 260 can be realized by setting the accommodating space 231, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the charging box 200; second, the indirect triggering of the button 260 is achieved through the movement of the base 240, which can prevent the button 260 from being damaged by direct pressing, thereby improving the service life of the charging box 200.

[0036] Furthermore, the charging box 200 also includes an elastic member 250, which is provided in the accommodating space 231. The elastic member 250 is elastically supported between the base 240 and the body 230. The elastic member 250 is used to reset the base 240, specifically to drive the base 240 to move to the second position. When the base 240 drops to the first position, the base 240 compresses the elastic member 250, so that the elastic member 250 obtains potential energy through compression deformation. When the base 240 needs to rise to the second position, the elastic member 250 restores the deformation and releases the potential energy, which can provide the base 240 with the power required to rise to the second position. Here, the elastic member 250 can be made of springs, shrapnel, etc., and of course it can also be other common elastomers, which will not be described in detail here.

[0037] It should also be pointed out that the process of the base 240 descending to the first position involves charging the elastic member 250, specifically to deform it to obtain potential energy. Therefore, this process should be achieved by doing work on the base 240, such as applying force by hand to make the base 240 descend to the first position, or applying force to the base 240 through other components to do work. When the base 240 needs to rise to the second position, it can be achieved by canceling the force applied to the base 240 and allowing the elastic member 250 to drive it.

[0038] Furthermore, there are at least two elastic members 250, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the button 260, so that the force on both sides is more balanced. Of course, there can be more or less elastic members 250, which will not be detailed here.

[0039] More specifically, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, with respect to the first method of triggering the button 260, when the button 260 is facing the bottom of the accommodating space 231, the elastic member 250 is disposed between the base 240 and the bottom of the accommodating space 231, with the elastic member 250 and the button 260 located on the same side of the base 240. When the base 240 descends to the first position, the button 260 contacts the bottom wall of the accommodating space 231 to form a triggered state, and the elastic member 250 is compressed to store potential energy. When the base 240 ascends to the second position, the button 260 separates from the bottom wall of the accommodating space 231 to form a de-triggered state. The elastic member 250 gradually returns to its original position during the ascending process of the base 240, releasing potential energy to provide power for the ascending of the base 240.

[0040] As for the second method of triggering the button 260, Figures 5 to 9 As shown, when the button 260 is away from the bottom of the accommodating space 231, the elastic member 250 is arranged between the base 240 and the bottom of the accommodating space 231, and the button 260 and the elastic member 250 are respectively located on opposite sides of the base 240. When the base 240 descends to the first position, the button 260 will be separated from the top wall of the accommodating space 231 to form a non-triggered state, and the elastic member 250 is in a compressed state to store potential energy. When the base 240 rises to the second position, the button 260 forms a triggered state by contacting the top wall of the accommodating space 231. The elastic member 250 gradually resets during the rising process of the base 240, and releases potential energy to provide power for the base 240 to rise, and to keep the button 260 in contact with the top wall of the accommodating space 231.

[0041] In a more specific embodiment, Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the charging box 200 can be an earphone charging box and is used to accommodate the earphone 100, such as a Bluetooth earphone, etc. Among them, the base 240 can be a circuit board, and the button 260 is electrically connected to the base 240 to realize the pairing function between the earphone 100 and an external device such as a mobile phone when triggered.

[0042] At the same time, the base 240 may be provided with a charging terminal 220. When the earphone 100 is accommodated in the accommodating space 231, the charging terminal 220 is used to electrically connect to the earphone 100 to charge the earphone 100. Furthermore, to ensure good contact with the charging terminal 220, the earphone 100 may also be designed with a plug portion that is compatible with the charging terminal 220. For example, the charging terminal 220 may be a plug and the plug portion may be a socket, or the charging terminal 220 may be a socket and the plug portion may be a plug, etc. The details are not provided here. Both the charging terminal 220 and the plug portion may be made of copper, which has good electrical conductivity, as the base material.

[0043] Furthermore, two charging terminals 220 may be provided to form a more stable electrical connection with the earphone 100 .

[0044] In a more specific embodiment, the body 230 may include a box body 232 and a cover 233. The box body 232 is used to store the earphones 100, and the cover 233 is rotatably connected to the box body 232. The cover 233 can provide a shield and protection for the stored earphones 100. The rotatable connection between the box body 232 and the cover 233 can be achieved by a hinge. In this way, the button 260 can be triggered or deactivated by opening or closing the cover 233. The following example illustrates this in detail:

[0045] for example Figures 5 to 9 As shown, for the second way of triggering the button 260, when the button 260 is away from the bottom of the accommodating space 231, wherein the earphone 100 is stored in the accommodating space 231 and the box cover 233 is at a first angle relative to the box body 232, that is, the box cover 233 is in an open state relative to the box body 232, the elastic member 250 is in a reset state and drives the base 240 to rise so that the base 240 is in the second position. At this time, the button 260 contacts the top wall of the accommodating space 231 and is in a triggered state.

[0046] When the earphone 100 is stored in the accommodating space 231 and the box cover 233 is at a second angle relative to the box body 232, for example, when the box cover 233 is closed relative to the box body 232, the earphone 100 can drive the base 240 to move to the first position through the charging terminal 220. Specifically, the box cover 233 will apply a downward force along the central axis O to the earphone 100, and transmit it to the base 240 along the earphone 100 and the charging terminal 220 in turn, causing the base 240 to drop to the first position. At this time, the button 260 is separated from the top wall of the accommodating space 231 and is in a non-triggered state, and the button 260 produces compression deformation to store potential energy.

[0047] Of course, for the first method of triggering the button 260, that is, when the button 260 is facing the bottom of the accommodating space 231, a similar effect can also be achieved by setting the main body 230 to include a box body 232 and a box cover 233, which will not be described in detail here.

[0048] Furthermore, the structure of the accommodating space 231 should be adapted to the triggering mode of the button 260 so as to better hide the button 260. The following example illustrates this:

[0049] like Figures 5 to 9 As shown, for the second method of triggering the button 260, when the button 260 faces away from the bottom of the accommodating space 231, the body 230 may include a partition 235 disposed within the accommodating space 231. The partition 235 divides the accommodating space 231 into a third sub-accommodating space 231C and a fourth sub-accommodating space 231D. For example, the third sub-accommodating space 231C may be located at the top of the box body 232, and the fourth sub-accommodating space 231D may be located at the bottom of the box body 232. The third sub-accommodating space 231C may be stacked in the direction of the central axis O. The third sub-accommodating space 231C may be used to store the earphones 100. The base 240 and the button 260 may both be disposed within the fourth sub-accommodating space 231D.

[0050] The partition 235 defines a clearance hole 2351, through which the charging terminal 220 extends into the third sub-accommodation space 231C. The end of the charging terminal 220 extending into the third sub-accommodation space 231C is used for electrical connection with the earphones 100. The button 260 is staggered relative to the charging terminal 220. This way, the partition 235 shields the trigger button 260, preventing it from being exposed and further enhancing its concealment.

[0051] And as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, for the first method of triggering the button 260, when the button 260 is facing the bottom of the accommodating space 231, the base 240 can enclose the bottom of the accommodating space 231 to form a first sub-accommodating space 231A. For example, the base 240 can divide the accommodating space 231 into a first sub-accommodating space 231A and a second sub-accommodating space 231B. The second sub-accommodating space 231B is located at the top of the body 230 and is arranged in sequence with the first sub-accommodating space 231A in the direction of the central axis O. The second sub-accommodating space 231B can be used to store the earphones 100 and the charging terminal 220, and the button 260 can be located within the first sub-accommodating space 231A. In this way, the base 240 will shield the trigger button 260, preventing the button 260 from being exposed, further improving the concealment of the button 260.

[0052] More specifically, the body 230 may include a mating protrusion 234. The structure of the mating protrusion 234 should be adapted to the specific manner of the trigger button 260. The following is a detailed description:

[0053] for example Figures 5 to 9 For example, in the second method of triggering the button 260, when the button 260 faces away from the bottom of the accommodating space 231, the mating protrusion 234 can be fixed to the partition 235, and the mating protrusion 234 is arranged opposite to the button 260. In this way, when the base 240 is lowered to the first position, that is, when the button 260 is in the non-triggered state, the mating protrusion 234 is separated from the button 260; and when the base 240 is raised to the second position, that is, when the button 260 is in the triggered state, the mating protrusion 234 is in contact with the button 260.

[0054] For example Figures 1 to 4 As shown, for the first method of triggering the button 260, when the button 260 is facing the bottom of the accommodating space 231, the mating protrusion 234 can also be provided on the bottom wall of the accommodating space 231 and opposite to the button 260. In this way, by raising the base 240 to the second position, that is, when the button 260 is in the non-triggered state, the mating protrusion 234 is separated from the button 260; and by lowering the base 240 to the first position, that is, when the button 260 is in the triggered state, the mating protrusion 234 is in contact with the button 260.

[0055] In summary, the arrangement of the protrusion 234 can shorten the stroke of the base 240, thereby shortening the distance between the first position and the second position, thereby reducing the compression deformation and stored potential energy that the elastic member 250 needs to generate when the base 240 switches between the first position and the second position, thereby reducing the external force required for the base 240 to descend to the first position, and the driving force provided by the elastic member 250 when the base 240 rises to the second position, making it easier to control the position of the base 240 and the state control of the trigger button 260.

[0056] In a more specific embodiment, the earphone 100 may include a first connector 110, and the body 230 may include a second connector 210. The first connector 110 may be a first magnetic member, and the second connector 210 may be a second magnetic member. When the earphone 100 is accommodated in the accommodation space 231, the earphone 100 is connected to the body 230 through the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member. This method can ensure that the charging connection between the earphone 100 and the charging box 200 is more secure. More specifically, the first connector 110 and the second connector 210 can be arranged in sequence along the accommodation direction of the earphone 100 in the charging box 200, that is, in a direction parallel to the central axis O.

[0057] The first connecting member 110 and the second connecting member 210 achieve different effects according to different triggering modes of the button 260, as illustrated below by way of example:

[0058] for example Figures 1 to 4 As shown, for the first way of triggering the button 260, when the button 260 is toward the bottom of the accommodating space 231, by pressing the earphone 100 to move it toward the base 240, the distance between the first connector 110 and the second connector 210 can be shortened. The smaller the distance between the first connector 110 and the second connector 210, the greater the suction force between them. In this way, the user does not need to continuously press the earphone 100, but only needs to give the earphone 100 an instantaneous trigger force in the initial stage to make the first connector 110 and the second connector 210 close to each other, so that a sufficiently large suction force can be generated between the two. In other words, there is no need to continuously press the earphone 100 during use, and the button 260 can be kept in the triggered state, thereby improving the portability of the device operation.

[0059] For example Figures 5 to 9 As shown, for the second way of triggering the button 260, when the button 260 is away from the bottom of the accommodating space 231, by closing the box cover 233 or making the box cover 233 generate a covering action, the earphone 100 is pressed to shorten the distance between the first connector 110 and the second connector 210. In this way, the box cover 233 can be designed to maintain a certain distance from the earphone 100 in the closed state, and sufficient suction force can be generated between the first connector 110 and the second connector 210 to achieve the button 260 to continuously maintain a non-triggered state. In this way, there is no need for the box cover 233 to continuously squeeze the earphone 100, thereby improving the service life of the earphone 100 and the charging box 200.

[0060] Furthermore, a limiting platform 2311 is provided on the inner wall of the accommodating space 231, and the direction from the first position to the second position is the first direction. When the base 240 is in the second position, the base 240 and the limiting platform 2311 are limited in the first direction to prevent the base 240 from excessive movement in the first direction.

[0061] More specifically, the limit platform 2311 can be a guide groove disposed on one side of the elastic member 250. The limit engagement is specifically a guiding engagement between the base 240 and the guide groove. When the base 240 descends to the first position, at least a portion of the base 240 extends out of the guide groove. When the base 240 ascends to the second position, the base 240 retracts into the guide groove. The guide groove constrains the movement of the base 240, preventing it from deflecting during movement. Furthermore, the base 240 is a movable plate to better fit within the guide groove.

[0062] The above embodiments of this application focus on the differences between the various embodiments. As long as the different optimization features between the various embodiments are not contradictory, they can be combined to form a better embodiment. Considering the simplicity of the text, they will not be repeated here.

[0063] The above are merely embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various changes and variations. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application should all be included within the scope of the claims of the present application.
