Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of smart terminal charging technology, and more particularly to an earphone charging case. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, such as Figure 1 As shown, the wireless Bluetooth earphone charging case includes an upper cover 1', a lower cover 2', and a charging structure located within the lower cover 2'. The earphones 3' are placed inside the cavity formed by the upper cover 1' and the lower cover 2' for charging. The upper cover 1' is opened to access the earphones 3'. However, the upper cover 1' is a flip-top design. When the upper cover 1' is flipped up, it is located on the side of the top of the lower cover 2', occupying the space above the lower cover 2'. This results in limited operating space for accessing the earphones 3'. When taking out the earphones 3', one can only insert their fingers between the upper cover 1' and the lower cover 2' to pry them out, making the process awkward. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an earphone charging case that solves the problem of not being able to easily take out the earphones.

[0004] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] An earphone charging case is provided, including an upper cover, a lower cover, and a sliding cover. The lower cover is rotatably connected to the upper cover. The sliding cover has an accommodating groove for accommodating earphones. The sliding cover is slidably connected to the lower cover. The upper cover is fixedly provided with a pushing member. The sliding cover is fixedly provided with a locking member that cooperates with the pushing member.

[0006] When the sliding cover slides in the first direction, the sliding cover pushes the pusher through the locking member to drive the upper cover to rotate to the open state; when the sliding cover slides in the second direction, the sliding cover pushes the pusher through the locking member to drive the upper cover to rotate to the closed state, and the first direction and the second direction are opposite.

[0007] In some possible implementations, the locking member includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall disposed opposite to each other. When the sliding cover slides in the first direction, the first sidewall pushes the pushing member, and when the sliding cover slides in the second direction, the second sidewall pushes the pushing member.

[0008] In some possible implementations, the second sidewall extends from the first sidewall near the pusher. When the sliding cover slides in the first direction, the pusher can disengage between the first sidewall and the second sidewall. When the sliding cover slides in the second direction, the second sidewall can push against the pusher, causing the pusher to extend between the first sidewall and the second sidewall.

[0009] In some possible implementations, the first sidewall has a first guide surface at one end facing the second sidewall, and the second sidewall has a second guide surface at the side facing the first sidewall.

[0010] In some possible implementations, a portion of the sliding cover is exposed between the upper cover and the lower cover.

[0011] In some possible implementations, the pusher and the top cover are either an integral or separate structure; and / or

[0012] The locking component and the sliding cover can be an integral structure or separate structures.

[0013] In some possible implementations, the lower cover is provided with a limiting platform, and the bottom of the sliding cover can abut against the limiting platform.

[0014] In some possible implementations, one of the sliding cover and the lower cover has a sliding boss and the other has a sliding groove, with the sliding boss slidably connected to the sliding groove.

[0015] In some possible implementations, a charging module is also included. The charging module includes a charging component, a charging terminal group, and a charging connector. The charging component is disposed between the lower cover and the sliding cover. The charging connector is disposed on the lower cover and connected to the charging component. The charging terminal group is disposed on the sliding cover and connected to the charging component.

[0016] In some possible implementations, a sealing plate is also included, which is fixed to the lower cover and forms a sealed cavity with the lower cover. The charging component is disposed in the sealed cavity, and the charging component includes a main board. The charging connector is connected to the main board, and the charging component is connected to the charging terminal group via a cable, which passes through the sealing plate.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0018] The present invention provides an earphone charging case. When the sliding cover is slid upward, the top cover is automatically opened by the action of the locking and pushing components. The earphones are placed in the receiving groove of the sliding cover and rise with the sliding cover. When the sliding cover is slid downward, the top cover is automatically closed by the action of the locking and pushing components. The automatic opening and closing of the top cover is simple. After the top cover is opened, it is located to the side of the sliding cover, so that the space above the sliding cover is not restricted by the top cover, making it convenient to take out the earphones and solving the pain point of taking out the earphones.

[0037] To make the technical problems solved by the present invention, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0039] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0040] This embodiment provides an earphone charging case, such as Figures 2-9 As shown, it includes an upper cover 1, a lower cover 2, and a sliding cover 3. The lower cover 2 is rotatably connected to the upper cover 1. The sliding cover 3 is provided with a receiving groove 31 for accommodating the earphone 100. The sliding cover 3 is slidably connected to the lower cover 2. The upper cover 1 is fixedly provided with a pusher 11. The sliding cover 3 is provided with a locking member 32 that cooperates with the pusher 11. When the sliding cover 3 slides in the first direction, the sliding cover 3 pushes the pusher 11 through the locking member 32 to drive the upper cover 1 to rotate to the open state. When the sliding cover 3 slides in the second direction, the sliding cover 3 pushes the pusher 11 through the locking member 32 to drive the upper cover 1 to rotate to the closed state. The first direction and the second direction are opposite.

[0041] For ease of description, this solution uses upward as the first direction and downward as the second direction as an example for illustrative description.

[0042] When the sliding cover 3 is slid upward, the upper cover 1 is automatically opened by the action of the locking member 32 and the pushing member 11. The earphone 100 is placed in the receiving groove 31 of the sliding cover 3 and rises with the sliding cover 3. When the sliding cover 3 is slid downward, the upper cover 1 is automatically closed by the action of the locking member 32 and the pushing member 11. The operation of automatically opening and closing the upper cover 1 is simple. After the upper cover 1 is opened, the upper cover 1 is located on the side of the sliding cover 3, so that the space above the sliding cover 3 is not restricted by the upper cover 1, making it convenient to take out the earphone 100 and solving the inconvenience of taking out the earphone in the prior art.

[0043] In one implementation, such as Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, part of the sliding cover 3 is exposed on the upper cover 1 and the lower cover 2, making it convenient for users to touch and slide the sliding cover 3. This solution has a novel structure, smooth opening action, elegant posture, and smooth picking process, which improves the user experience.

[0044] In one implementation, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the locking component 32 includes a first sidewall 321 and a second sidewall 322 that are arranged opposite to each other. When the sliding cover 3 slides in the first direction, the first sidewall 321 pushes the pusher 11. When the sliding cover 3 slides in the second direction, the second sidewall 322 pushes the pusher 11. The first sidewall 321 and the second sidewall 322 form a locking groove. When the upper cover 1 is closed, the pusher 11 is located in the locking groove, which prevents the upper cover 1 from being opened at will. The structure is simple and reliable.

[0045] In one embodiment, the second sidewall 322 extends from the first sidewall 321 near the pusher 11. When the sliding cover 3 slides in the first direction, the pusher 11 can disengage from the first sidewall 321 and the second sidewall 322, that is, disengage from the locking member 32. After the sliding cover 3 rises to a preset position, it disengages from contact with the upper cover 1, and the sliding cover 3 can slide freely on the lower cover 2. When the sliding cover 3 slides in the second direction, the second sidewall 322 can touch the pusher 11 after sliding to a certain position. When the sliding cover 3 is pushed further, it pushes against the pusher 11, and the upper cover 1 will be closed in conjunction. In the closed state, the pusher 11 extends between the first sidewall 321 and the second sidewall 322.

[0046] In one implementation, such as Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, the lower cover 2 is provided with a limiting platform 21. When the bottom of the sliding cover 3 can abut against the limiting platform 21, the pusher 11 extends between the first side wall 321 and the second side wall 322. The limiting platform 21 is used to limit the bottom of the sliding cover 3 to prevent the sliding cover 3 from continuing to slide downward, which would cause the pusher 11 to continue to be pushed by the second side wall 322, resulting in damage to the structure of the pusher 11.

[0047] In one embodiment, the pushing member 11 is plate-shaped, increasing the contact area between the pushing member 11 and the locking member 32 and improving the reliability of the operation. In another embodiment, the pushing member 11 may also be rod-shaped or other arbitrary shapes, without limitation.

[0048] In one implementation, such as Figure 9 As shown, the first sidewall 321 has a first guide surface 3211 at one end facing the second sidewall 322, and the second sidewall 322 has a second guide surface 3221 on one side facing the first sidewall 321, facilitating the sliding of the pusher 11 into or out. In this embodiment, the first guide surface 3211 is an inclined surface, and the second guide surface 3221 is an arc-shaped surface. Correspondingly, the pusher 11 has rounded corners on both sides facing the first guide surface 3211 and the second guide surface 3221, further facilitating the sliding of the pusher 11 into or out.

[0049] In one implementation, such as Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, the pusher 11 protrudes inside the upper cover 1, and the pusher 11 and the upper cover 1 are integrally formed. The locking member 32 and the sliding cover 3 are integrally formed. The first side wall 321 and the second side wall 322 are formed on the side of the sliding cover 3. The structure is simple, reduces the number of parts, facilitates assembly, and has good reliability. In another embodiment, the pusher 11 and the upper cover 1 are separate structures; the locking member 32 and the sliding cover 3 are separate structures. The configuration can be set according to the actual situation and is not limited.

[0050] In one implementation, such as Figure 10 As shown, the sliding cover 3 has a sliding groove 33, and the lower cover 2 has a sliding boss 22. The sliding boss 22 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 33, and the sliding groove 33 extends vertically. Further, the sliding cover 3 has sliding grooves 33 on both its left and right sides, and correspondingly, the lower cover 2 has sliding bosses 22 on both its left and right sides. In another embodiment, the sliding cover 3 has a sliding boss 22, and the lower cover 2 has a sliding groove 33, with the sliding boss 22 slidably connected to the sliding groove 33.

[0051] like Figure 10 As shown, in one embodiment, the earphone charging case further includes a pivot 6 and a spring 7 sleeved on the pivot 6. The lower cover 2 is provided with a mounting hole 23, and the upper cover 1 is provided with a through hole 12. The pivot 6 passes through the mounting hole 23 and the through hole 12. The upper cover 1 and the lower cover 2 are rotatably connected by the pivot 6. The spring 7 abuts between the end of the through hole 12 and the end of the mounting hole 23 to prevent the upper cover 1 and the lower cover 2 from shaking along the length direction of the pivot 6.

[0052] In one implementation, such as Figure 2As shown, the outer surface of the boss is flush with the outer surface of the sliding cover 3. When the upper cover 1 is closed, the outer surface of the upper cover 1 is flush with the outer surface of the lower cover 2. The outer surface of the upper cover 1 is flush with the outer surface of the sliding cover 3, making the exterior smooth and improving the aesthetics.

[0053] In one implementation, such as Figure 4 As shown, the earphone charging case also includes a charging module 4. The charging module 4 includes a charging component 41, a charging terminal group 42 connected to the charging component 41 via a cable 44, and a charging connector 43 connected to an external power source. The charging component 41 is located between the lower cover 2 and the sliding cover 3. The charging connector 43 is located on the lower cover 2 and connected to the charging component 41. The lower cover 2 has a charging hole, and the inner cavity of the lower cover 2 is connected to the outside through the charging hole so that the charging connector 43 can be connected to an external power source. The charging terminal group 42 is located on the sliding cover 3 and is used to charge the earphone 100. When the earphone 100 is placed in the receiving slot 31, it is connected to the charging terminal group 42 to realize the charging of the earphone 100. In this embodiment, the charging terminal group 42 has four charging terminals for transmitting power to the earphone 100.

[0054] Furthermore, as the sliding cover 3 moves up and down, when the entire sliding cover 3 is pushed up and raised, the charging terminal group 42 disposed with the sliding cover 3 is also raised. In this embodiment, the cable 44 is a telescopic cable to facilitate the charging terminal group 42 to always be connected to the charging component 41. In other embodiments, the cable 44 between the charging terminal group 42 and the charging component 41 may be long enough and be bent in an orderly manner in the sliding cover 3.

[0055] In one embodiment, the earphone charging case further includes a sealing plate 5, which is fixed to the lower cover 2. The sealing plate 5 and the lower cover 2 form a sealed cavity. The charging component 41 is disposed in the sealed cavity, and the charging connector 43 is disposed on the cavity wall of the sealed cavity. The sealing plate 5 is provided with a cable 44 for connecting to the charging terminal group 42, so as to ensure that the charging component 41 is waterproof and dustproof in the sealed cavity, thereby extending its service life.

[0056] Specifically, the charging assembly 41 includes a motherboard 411 and a battery 412, etc. The specific details are as described in the prior art and will not be repeated here. The motherboard 411 is fixed on the sealing plate 5, and the charging connector 43 is welded to the side of the motherboard 411 away from the sealing plate 5.

[0057] In this solution, the earphone charging case is used to charge the wireless Bluetooth earphone 100, but it can also be used for bone conduction earphones, hearing aids, or other similar applications, without limitation.

[0058] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
