[0029] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the first structure of a microphone device provided in an embodiment of this specification.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the microphone device includes: a body, a front cover 101, a reference microphone assembly 102 and a pickup microphone assembly 103; wherein: the body includes a body base 104 and two groups of isolation structural members 105; the reference microphone assembly 102 is fixedly arranged in a reference space; the reference space is composed of the front cover 101, a reference area on the body base 104, and a group of isolation structural members 105 corresponding to the reference area; the reference microphone assembly 102 can collect noise signals within a preset range of the microphone device; the pickup microphone assembly 103 is fixedly arranged in the sound pickup space; the sound pickup space is composed of the front cover 101, a sound pickup area on the body base 104, and a group of isolation structural members 105 corresponding to the sound pickup area; the sound pickup microphone assembly 103 can collect noise signals; a sound inlet channel 106 is provided at a preset position of the front cover 101; the preset position is opposite to the sound pickup area; the sound inlet channel 106 is used for the sound pickup microphone assembly 103 to collect target sound signals outside the microphone device.

[0032] The body of the microphone device may be a main structural component of the microphone device. The front cover 101 may be a shell on one side of the microphone device. The body and the front cover 101 are connected to form the basic hardware frame structure of the microphone device.

[0033] The reference microphone assembly 102 may be an energy conversion device capable of converting a received sound signal into an electrical signal, such as an electret condenser microphone, a silicon crystal microphone, or other types of microphone devices.

[0034] The reference microphone assembly 102 may be an energy conversion device used as a reference object for the pickup microphone assembly 103. Specifically, the sound signal collected by the reference microphone assembly 102 may serve as a reference object for the sound signal collected by the pickup microphone assembly 103.

[0035] The pickup microphone assembly 103 may be an energy conversion device capable of converting a received sound signal into an electrical signal, for example, an electret condenser microphone, a silicon crystal microphone, or other types of microphones.

[0036] Sound pickup is the process of collecting sound. This includes, but is not limited to, individual sound pickup, harmonic vocal pickup, chorus pickup, and instrument pickup. The pickup microphone assembly 103 can be the primary energy conversion device within the microphone device, responsible for collecting target sound signals outside the microphone device and converting them into electrical signals. The target sound signal can be a valid sound signal that the user desires the microphone device to capture, such as a human voice signal or an instrumental sound signal.

[0037] The energy conversion devices used in the reference microphone assembly 102 and the pickup microphone assembly 103 can be electronic devices of exactly the same type and structure.

[0038] The fuselage includes a fuselage base 104 and two groups of isolation structural members 105 .

[0039] The body base 104 may be a base component for supporting the reference microphone assembly 102 and the pickup microphone assembly 103 .

[0040] Among the two groups of isolation structural members 105 included in the fuselage, one group of isolation structural members 105 may be a plurality of isolation structural members surrounding the reference microphone assembly 102 ; the other group of isolation structural members 105 may be a plurality of isolation structural members surrounding the pickup microphone assembly 103 .

[0041] A set of isolation structures 105 surrounding the reference microphone assembly 102 corresponds to the reference area on the fuselage base 104. For example, the set of isolation structures 105 surrounding the reference microphone assembly 102 may include four isolation structures 105, and the four sides of the reference area are respectively connected to the four isolation structures.

[0042] A set of isolation structures 105 surrounding the pickup microphone assembly 103 corresponds to the sound pickup area on the body base 104. For example, the set of isolation structures 105 surrounding the pickup microphone assembly 103 may include four isolation structures, and the four sides of the sound pickup area are respectively connected to the four isolation structures.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the two groups of isolation structures 105 can share the same isolation structure 105. For example, an isolation structure 105 located on the right side of the reference microphone assembly 102 in the group of isolation structures 105 surrounding the pickup microphone assembly 103 and an isolation structure 105 located on the left side of the pickup microphone assembly 103 in the group of isolation structures 105 surrounding the pickup microphone assembly 103 can be the same isolation structure 105.

[0044] For example, the reference area on the body base 104 can be located directly below the reference microphone assembly 102; the four isolation structures surrounding the reference microphone assembly 102 can be located in the front, back, left, and right directions of the reference microphone assembly 102; and the front cover 101 can be located directly above the reference microphone assembly 102. The front cover 101, the reference area on the body base 104, and the set of isolation structures 105 corresponding to the reference area can collectively constitute a reference space.

[0045] The reference microphone assembly 102 may be fixedly disposed in the reference space.

[0046] The reference microphone assembly 102 can collect noise signals within a preset range of the microphone device. The preset range can be pre-set according to the volume of the microphone device.

[0047] The microphone device may also include a motor, a speaker assembly, and other unlisted electronic components. When the microphone device is operating, the motor may rotate. This motor rotation is an unsteady motion and may generate corresponding vibration noise. This vibration noise can be transmitted between the various components of the microphone device. When the microphone device is operating, the speaker assembly may play audio data. When playing audio data, the speaker assembly performs unsteady motion and may generate corresponding vibration noise. This vibration noise can be transmitted between the various components of the microphone device.

[0048] The noise signal within the preset range of the microphone device may be vibration noise transmitted between various structural components in the microphone device. The source of the vibration noise may be a rotating motor, a speaker assembly when playing audio data, or other structural components in the microphone device that are in working condition.

[0049] For example, the sound pickup area on the body base 104 can be located directly below the sound pickup microphone assembly 103; the four isolation structures surrounding the sound pickup microphone assembly 103 can be located in the front, back, left, and right directions of the sound pickup microphone assembly 103; and the front cover 101 can be located directly above the sound pickup microphone assembly 103. The front cover 101, the sound pickup area on the body base 104, and the set of isolation structures 105 corresponding to the sound pickup area can collectively form a sound pickup space.

[0050] The sound pickup microphone assembly 103 can be fixedly disposed in the sound pickup space.

[0051] The pickup microphone assembly 103 can collect noise signals within a preset range of the microphone device. Both the pickup microphone assembly 103 and the reference microphone assembly 102 are located within the microphone device, and the distance between the pickup microphone assembly 103 and the reference microphone assembly 102 is less than or equal to a preset distance threshold. Therefore, the noise signals collected by the pickup microphone assembly 103 and the reference microphone assembly 102 within the preset range of the microphone device can be considered to be identical noise signals.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, the area of ​​the front cover 101 is larger than the sum of the areas of the reference area and the sound pickup area.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, a sound inlet channel 106 is provided at a preset position of the front cover 101; the preset position is opposite to the sound pickup area; the sound inlet channel 106 is used for the sound pickup microphone assembly 103 to collect target sound signals outside the microphone device.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, the reference space formed by the front cover 101, the reference area on the body base 104, and the set of isolation structures 105 corresponding to the reference area can be considered a closed space. The front cover 101 can be made of a material with good sound insulation properties, so that the reference microphone assembly located in the reference space cannot collect target sound signals outside the microphone device.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, since the preset position of the front cover 101 is provided with a sound input channel 106, and the preset position is opposite to the sound pickup area, the sound pickup space composed of the front cover 101, the sound pickup area on the body base 104 and a group of isolation structural members 105 corresponding to the sound pickup area can be regarded as a non-closed space, and the sound pickup microphone assembly 103 located in the sound pickup space can collect target sound signals outside the microphone device through the sound input channel 106.

[0056] The difference between the reference space and the sound pickup space is that: in the partial area of ​​the front cover 101 used to form the reference space, no channels or holes are set, so that the reference space can be regarded as a closed space. Therefore, the reference microphone assembly 102 located in the reference space can collect noise signals but cannot collect target sound signals; and in the partial area of ​​the front cover 101 used to form the sound pickup space, an audio input channel 106 is set at a preset position, so that the sound pickup space can be regarded as a non-closed space. Therefore, the sound pickup microphone assembly 103 located in the sound pickup space can collect noise signals and target sound signals.

[0057] It should also be noted that the pickup microphone assembly 103 can simultaneously collect the noise signal and the target sound signal. The pickup microphone assembly 103 cannot collect the two signals separately, but instead collects a mixed sound signal composed of the noise signal and the target sound signal. The noise signal collected by the reference microphone assembly 102 can serve as a reference for the mixed sound signal collected by the pickup microphone assembly 103.

[0058] Optionally, the noise signal includes: a first vibration noise signal generated when the motor in the microphone device is working and / or a second vibration noise signal generated when the speaker assembly in the microphone device plays audio data; the target sound signal outside the microphone device includes: a human voice signal to be collected.

[0059] For example, the noise signal can be a first vibration noise signal generated by the operation of a motor in the microphone device, a second vibration noise signal generated by the speaker assembly in the microphone device when playing audio data, or a mixed vibration noise signal composed of the first and second vibration noise signals. The target sound signal can be a human voice signal that the user wishes to capture, a musical instrument sound signal that the user wishes to capture, or any other desired sound signal.

[0060] Optionally, the microphone device further includes a first filling piece and a second filling piece; the reference microphone assembly is fixedly arranged in the reference space through the first filling piece; and the pickup microphone assembly is fixedly arranged in the pickup space through the second filling piece.

[0061] The first filling member includes one or more of the following: foam, rubber sleeve, and interference structure located in the reference space. The first filling member may also include other filling structures or filling materials.

[0062] The second filling member includes one or more of the following: foam, rubber sleeve, and interference structure located in the sound pickup space. The second filling member may also include other filling structures or filling materials.

[0063] It should be noted that the first filling piece and the second filling piece have the same structure and are made of the same material.

[0064] The materials used for the front cover 101, reference microphone assembly 102, and pickup microphone assembly 103 are relatively hard, potentially creating significant gaps when the front cover 101 is connected to the reference microphone assembly 102, or when the front cover 101 is connected to the pickup microphone assembly 103. The interference structure can serve as a buffer between the front cover 101 and the reference microphone assembly 102, or between the front cover 101 and the pickup microphone assembly 103. The interference structure can be made of rubber. By providing this interference structure, the front cover 101 can be pressed tightly against the body, eliminating gaps and improving the sound insulation between the reference and pickup spaces.

[0065] The following can be combined Figure 2 , specifically describing how the reference microphone assembly 102 is fixedly disposed in the reference space through the first filling piece, and how the pickup microphone assembly is fixedly disposed in the pickup space through the second filling piece.

[0066] Figure 2 This is a second structural diagram of a microphone device provided in an embodiment of this specification.

[0067] like Figure 2 As shown, the space between the reference microphone assembly 102 and the body base 104 can be filled with foam 109; the space between the reference microphone assembly 102 and the isolation structure 105 can be filled with a rubber sleeve 107; and the space between the reference microphone assembly 102 and the front cover 101 can be filled with the rubber sleeve 107 and an interference structure 108, wherein the interference structure 108 can be connected to the front cover 101 and the rubber sleeve 107, respectively. By providing the foam 109, the rubber sleeve 107, and the interference structure 108 to fill the space outside the reference microphone assembly 102 within the reference space, the reference microphone assembly 102 can be fixedly disposed within the reference space.

[0068] The sound pickup space is similar to the reference space. For details, please refer to the corresponding section of the reference space. By providing foam 109, rubber sleeve 107, and interference structure 108 to fill the space outside the pickup microphone assembly 103 within the sound pickup space, the pickup microphone assembly 103 can be fixedly placed within the sound pickup space.

[0069] Optionally, the microphone device also includes: a first signal amplification circuit and a second signal amplification circuit with the same circuit structure; a reference microphone component 102, connected to the first signal amplification circuit, collecting a noise signal, converting the noise signal into a first voltage signal and transmitting it to the first signal amplification circuit; the first signal amplification circuit, used to amplify the first voltage signal; a pickup microphone component 103, connected to the second signal amplification circuit, collecting a noise signal and a target sound signal to obtain a mixed sound signal; converting the mixed sound signal into a second voltage signal and transmitting it to the second signal amplification circuit; the second signal amplification circuit, used to amplify the second voltage signal.

[0070] The reference microphone assembly 102 is connected to the first signal amplifying circuit. The reference microphone assembly 102 can collect a noise signal, convert the noise signal into a first voltage signal, and send the first voltage signal to the connected first signal amplifying circuit.

[0071] The first signal amplifying circuit can be used to receive a first voltage signal, amplify the first voltage signal by N times according to a preset amplification factor N (N is a natural number greater than 0), and output the first voltage signal amplified by N times.

[0072] The first signal amplifying circuit can be any voltage signal amplifying circuit that can be used to amplify the received voltage signal. For example, the circuit structure can refer to Figure 3 . Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the circuit structure of a first signal amplifying circuit in a microphone device provided in an embodiment of this specification.

[0073] like Figure 3 As shown, the input end of the first signal amplifying circuit is connected to the first end of the first resistor 302; the second end of the first resistor 302 is connected to the negative input end of the operational amplifier 301; the second end of the first resistor 302 is also connected to the first end of the second resistor 303; the second end of the second resistor 303 is connected to the output end of the operational amplifier; the output end of the operational amplifier is connected to the output end of the first signal amplifying circuit; the positive input end of the operational amplifier 301 is connected to the first end of the third resistor 304; and the second end of the third resistor 304 is grounded.

[0074] The first resistor 302 and the third resistor 304 have the same resistance value. The ratio of the resistance value of the second resistor 303 to the resistance value of the first resistor 302 can be set according to the preset amplification factor of the first signal amplification circuit. For example, if the resistance value of the first resistor 302 is set to x ohms and the preset amplification factor is 10, the resistance value of the second resistor 303 can be set to 10x ohms, and the resistance value of the third resistor 304 can be set to x ohms.

[0075] Figure 3 This is merely an example of a relatively simple structure of the first signal amplifying circuit and does not constitute a structural limitation on the first signal amplifying circuit. The first signal amplifying circuit may also use other electronic devices and / or circuit structures to amplify the received voltage signal.

[0076] The pickup microphone assembly 103 is connected to the second signal amplification circuit. The pickup microphone assembly 103 can collect a mixed sound signal composed of a noise signal and a target sound signal, convert the mixed sound signal into a second voltage signal, and send the second voltage signal to the connected second signal amplification circuit.

[0077] The second signal amplifying circuit can be used to receive the second voltage signal, amplify the second voltage signal by N times according to a preset amplification factor N (N is a natural number greater than 0), and output the second voltage signal amplified by N times.

[0078] The second signal amplifying circuit may be any voltage signal amplifying circuit that can be used to amplify a received voltage signal.

[0079] The first signal amplifying circuit and the second signal amplifying circuit have the same circuit structure, adopt the same electronic components, and have the same preset amplification factor N.

[0080] Optionally, the microphone device also includes: a dual-channel analog-to-digital conversion module; a first signal amplification circuit, connected to the first channel of the dual-channel analog-to-digital conversion module, sending the amplified first voltage signal to the first channel, so that the dual-channel analog-to-digital conversion module converts the amplified first voltage signal into a noise digital signal; a second signal amplification circuit, connected to the second channel of the dual-channel analog-to-digital conversion module, sending the amplified second voltage signal to the second channel, so that the dual-channel analog-to-digital conversion module converts the amplified second voltage signal into a mixed digital signal.

[0081] Analog to Digital Converters (ADCs) convert received analog signals into digital signals. Voltage signals are analog signals. A digital signal can be a binary string consisting of 0s and / or 1s. A dual-channel ADC can include a first channel and a second channel, allowing for two separate analog-to-digital conversion processes.

[0082] The first signal amplification circuit is connected to the first channel of the dual-channel ADC and transmits the amplified first voltage signal to the first channel, so that the dual-channel ADC converts the amplified first voltage signal into a noisy digital signal. The second signal amplification circuit is connected to the second channel of the dual-channel ADC and transmits the amplified second voltage signal to the second channel, so that the dual-channel ADC converts the amplified second voltage signal into a mixed digital signal. The dual-channel ADC can process the conversion of the amplified first voltage signal into a noisy digital signal and the conversion of the amplified second voltage signal into a mixed digital signal in parallel, and the two different analog-to-digital conversion processes do not interfere with each other.

[0083] The following can be combined Figure 4 Describe in detail how noise reduction works on microphone devices.

[0084] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the noise reduction working principle of a microphone device provided in an embodiment of this specification.

[0085] like Figure 4 As shown, the target sound signal may be an effective human voice. The reference microphone assembly collects the noise signal, and the pickup microphone assembly collects the noise signal and the effective human voice at the same time.

[0086] The reference microphone assembly converts the collected noise signal into a first voltage signal, amplifies it, and sends the amplified first voltage signal to the ADC. The pickup microphone assembly converts the collected mixed sound signal (a mixture of the noise signal and the effective human voice) into a second voltage signal, amplifies it, and sends the amplified second voltage signal to the ADC. The ADC can be a dual-channel ADC or an ADC group consisting of two independently operating ADCs.

[0087] The ADC can output a noise digital signal converted from the amplified first voltage signal and a mixed digital signal converted from the amplified second voltage signal to a processor of the microphone device. The mixed digital signal can be a digital signal corresponding to a mixed sound signal composed of a noise signal and a valid human voice signal.

[0088] The noise digital signal may be a binary string consisting of 0 and / or 1; the mixed digital signal may be another binary string consisting of 0 and / or 1.

[0089] The processor can calculate the difference between the mixed digital signal and the noise digital signal, thereby calculating the digital signal corresponding to the effective human voice. This digital signal is the sound signal after noise reduction processing that the user expects.

[0090] In such Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the microphone device includes: a body, a front cover, a reference microphone assembly, and a pickup microphone assembly; the body includes a body base and two sets of isolation structures; the reference microphone assembly is fixedly disposed in a reference space; the reference space is formed by the front cover, a reference area on the body base, and a set of isolation structures corresponding to the reference area; the reference microphone assembly can collect noise signals within a preset range of the microphone device; the pickup microphone assembly is fixedly disposed in the sound pickup space; the sound pickup space is formed by the front cover, a sound pickup area on the body base, and a set of isolation structures corresponding to the sound pickup area; the pickup microphone assembly can collect noise signals; a sound inlet channel is provided at a preset position of the front cover; the preset position is opposite the sound pickup area; the sound inlet channel is used for the pickup microphone assembly to collect target sound signals outside the microphone device, thereby enabling the reference microphone assembly to collect noise signals, and the pickup microphone assembly to collect a mixed sound signal composed of the noise signal and the target sound signal. The noise signals collected by the reference microphone assembly and the pickup microphone assembly are identical. Furthermore, noise reduction of the mixed sound signal based on the noise signal can effectively eliminate noise signals generated during operation of the microphone device.

[0091] Based on the same technical concept, one or more embodiments of this specification also provide a noise reduction method for a microphone device. Figure 5 A flowchart of a noise reduction method for a microphone device provided in an embodiment of this specification.

[0092] The execution subject of the noise reduction method of the microphone device may be a processor of the microphone device.

[0093] In step 502, a noise signal within a preset range of the microphone device is collected by a reference microphone assembly; and a noise signal within the microphone device and a target sound signal outside the microphone device are collected by a sound pickup microphone assembly to obtain a mixed sound signal composed of the noise signal and the target sound signal.

[0094] The processor of the microphone device can control the reference microphone assembly to collect noise signals within a preset range of the microphone device; it can also control the pickup microphone assembly to collect noise signals within the microphone device and target sound signals outside the microphone device, thereby obtaining a mixed sound signal composed of the noise signal and the target sound signal.
