[0045] <Specific Embodiment 1>

[0046] Battery module 101, the battery module 101 is a polyhedron. A first type-C male socket 1011 is provided on the first surface of the battery module 101, and a first type-C female socket 1012 is provided on the second surface of the battery module 10. The first type-C female socket 1012 is used to connect to a power source to charge the battery module 101;

[0047] Microphone receiver 201, the microphone receiver 201 is a polyhedron. A second type-C male socket 2011 is provided on the first surface of the microphone receiver 201, and a second type-C female socket 2012 is provided on the second surface of the microphone receiver 201. The second type-C female socket 2012 is snap-connected to the first type-C male socket 1011;

[0048] The microphone transmitter 301 is a polyhedron. A third Type-C female socket 3011 is provided on the first face of the microphone transmitter 301. The third Type-C female socket 3011 is connected to the second Type-C male socket 2011 in a plug-and-socket manner. A touch ring 3012 is provided on the second face of the microphone transmitter 301. The touch ring 3012 is used to control the on and off of the microphone transmitter 301.

[0049] Here, the polyhedron can be a tetrahedron, a pentahedron, a hexahedron, an octahedron, and there is no need to limit the form, and it is a free-form module combination. The battery module 101, the microphone receiver 201, and the microphone transmitter 301 can cooperate with each other. When the microphone receiver 201 and the microphone transmitter 301 are used separately, the battery module 101 can charge the microphone receiver 201 or the microphone transmitter 301 arbitrarily. When the battery module 101 charges the microphone receiver 201, the first Type-C male socket 1011 is connected to the second Type-C female socket 2012 in a plug-and-socket manner. When the battery module 101 charges the microphone transmitter 301, the first Type-C male socket 1011 is connected to the third Type-C female socket 3011 in a plug-and-socket manner. When the battery module 101 charges itself, the first Type-C female socket 1012 is connected to the power supply Type-C male socket in a plug-and-socket manner. At this time, the microphone receiver 201 or the microphone transmitter 301 can still be used while charging.

[0050] <Specific Embodiment 2>

[0051] Further, as Figure 2 shown, the battery module 101 is a hexahedron. The first Type-C male socket 1011 and the first Type-C female socket 1012 are disposed on opposite faces of the battery module 101, that is, on opposite faces of the hexahedron, reducing space usage.

[0052] <Specific Embodiment 3>

[0053] Further, as Figure 2 shown, the microphone receiver 201 is a hexahedron. The second Type-C male socket 2011 and the second Type-C female socket 2012 are disposed on opposite faces of the microphone receiver 201, that is, on opposite faces of the hexahedron, which can reduce space usage.

[0054] <Specific Embodiment 4>

[0055] Further, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2, a fixing clip 3013 is provided on the third side of the microphone transmitter 301. The fixing clip 3013 is used for fixing the microphone transmitter 301 during use. That is, when the microphone transmitter 301 receives the user's voice, it can be clipped to the user's clothes to ensure convenient use.

[0056] <Specific Embodiment 5>

[0057] Further, as Figure 2 shown, the touch ring 3012 is covered with an LED light 3014. The LED light 3014 is used to display charging and touch response. When the microphone transmitter 301 receives external charging, the LED light 3014 will be lit and will go out after the battery is fully charged to give a reminder to the user. For touch response, when the LED light 3014 is clicked, it will be lit for a short time to feedback to the user that the current touch signal has been received.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present invention, the wireless microphone can be used in cooperation with multiple modules, so that the wireless microphone can be continuously used. When the transmitter needs emergency power, the backup battery can be replenished at any time. The microphone transmitter can be charged while in use without the need for wiring. The modular design effectively saves space, makes the effective volume used most efficiently, and is convenient for carrying and using.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 3 , an embodiment of the shutdown control method in the embodiment of the present invention, which is applied to a modular microphone. The shutdown control method includes:

[0060] 401. The microphone transmitter determines whether there is a corresponding signal input from the second type-C male connector to the third type-C female connector;

[0061] 402. If there is no signal input, broadcast and send a connection signal;

[0062] In the embodiments of 401-402, it is determined whether the second type-C male connector is connected to the third type-C female connector, that is, whether the microphone receiver is plugged into the microphone transmitter. If there is no signal input, the microphone transmitter broadcasts and sends a connection signal, and the microphone receiver receives the connection signal.

[0063] 403. If there is a signal input, generate a transmitter shutdown instruction, and the transmitter shutdown instruction is used to turn off the microphone transmitter;

[0064] In this embodiment, if there is a signal input, a transmitter shutdown instruction is generated, and the microphone transmitter performs a shutdown process based on the transmitter shutdown instruction.

[0065] Further, in 403, the following steps can be executed:

[0066] 4031. The microphone transmitter broadcasts and sends a receiver shutdown instruction, which is used to turn off the microphone receiver, and generates a transmitter shutdown instruction, which is used to turn off the microphone transmitter.

[0067] 4032. The microphone receiver receives the transmitter shutdown instruction and executes a preset shutdown process based on the receiver shutdown instruction.

[0068] In steps 4031 - 4032, the transmitter shutdown instruction first broadcasts and sends the receiver shutdown instruction, then generates the transmitter shutdown instruction, and the microphone transmitter is turned off based on the transmitter shutdown instruction. The microphone receiver receives the transmitter shutdown instruction and executes a preset shutdown process based on the receiver shutdown instruction.

[0069] Furthermore, in 403, step 4033 can be executed: Light up the touch ring. This step 4033 is to feedback information to the user that the shutdown has been executed.

[0070] 404. The microphone receiver receives a connection signal and establishes a communication connection with the microphone transmitter according to the connection signal.

[0071] 405. Monitor the status of the communication connection. When the communication connection is in a disconnected state, generate a receiver shutdown instruction, which is used to turn off the microphone receiver.

[0072] In steps 404 - 405, when the microphone receiver receives the connection signal, it will establish a connection with the microphone transmitter and continuously monitor the status of the communication connection. A judgment will be made every set time. If the communication status is in a disconnected state, a receiver shutdown instruction will be generated to turn off the microphone receiver to save power.

[0073] Furthermore, in 405, the following steps can also be executed:

[0074] 4051. Judge whether there is voltage output on the second type - C male socket.

[0075] 4052. If there is voltage output, maintain the communication connection status and continue to monitor the status of the communication connection.

[0076] 4053. If there is no voltage output, generate a stop output duration based on a preset timer.

[0077] 4054. Judge whether the stop output duration exceeds a preset stop duration threshold.

[0078] 4055. If it exceeds the stop duration threshold, disconnect the communication connection and generate a receiver shutdown instruction, which is used to turn off the microphone receiver.

[0079] In steps 4051 - 4055, if there is voltage output from the second Type-C male socket, it indicates that the microphone receiver is connected to the speaker device, and the received language information is output to the speaker device to ensure signal transmission. If there is no voltage output, it means that it is not connected to the speaker device, and then timing operation will be performed. For example, if no speaker device is connected for 5 minutes, the communication connection will be disconnected and the microphone receiver will be turned off to save the electrical energy of the microphone receiver.

[0080] Furthermore, the following steps can also be executed in 405:

[0081] 4056. The microphone transmitter receives the touch press on the touch ring and analyzes the duration of the touch press.

[0082] 4057. Determine whether the duration of the touch press exceeds the preset touch press duration threshold.

[0083] 4058. If the touch press duration threshold is exceeded, disconnect the communication connection.

[0084] 4059. The microphone receiver monitors that the communication connection is in a disconnected state and generates a receiver shutdown instruction, which is used to turn off the microphone receiver.

[0085] In steps 4056 - 4059, if the touch press on the touch ring of the microphone transmitter exceeds 10 seconds, it is considered that the user of the microphone transmitter has issued a shutdown instruction, and then the communication connection is disconnected. After the microphone receiver monitors that the communication connection is disconnected, it also shuts down immediately to respond to the user's shutdown instruction.

[0086] In the embodiment of the present invention, the wireless microphone can be used in cooperation with multiple modules, enabling the wireless microphone to be continuously used. When the transmitter needs emergency power, the backup battery can be replenished at any time. The microphone transmitter can be charged while in use without the need for wiring. The modular design effectively saves space, makes the effective volume used most efficiently, and is convenient for carrying and use.
