Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of headphone case technology, specifically to a headphone assembly and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, electronic devices are becoming increasingly widely used. Typically, electronic devices are equipped with headphone components, which include a charging case and earphones. By connecting the earphones to the electronic device, users can listen to audio without the device playing audio aloud and disturbing others. However, in related technologies, the earphones in headphone components are primarily used for listening to audio, making the headphone component's function relatively limited. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides an earphone assembly and an electronic device to address the problem that earphone assemblies in the related art have relatively limited functionality.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application is implemented as follows:

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide an earphone assembly, the earphone assembly comprising: an earphone case;

[0006] The earphone case includes a first sub-case and a second sub-case that can be detachably connected. A first sub-controller is provided in the first sub-case, and a second sub-controller is provided in the second sub-case. A control component is provided on the first sub-case and / or the second sub-case, and the control component is electrically connected to the first sub-controller and the second sub-controller respectively.

[0007] When the first sub-box and the second sub-box switch from being in contact with each other to being separated from each other, there is a receiving space between the first sub-box and the second sub-box, the receiving space is used to receive the electronic device, and the control component controls the electronic device through the first sub-controller and / or the second sub-controller.

[0008] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide an electronic device, which includes an electronic device and the headphone assembly described in the first aspect above;

[0009] The electronic device is communicatively connected to the controller.

[0010] Since the headphone case includes a detachable first sub-box and a second sub-box, the first and second sub-boxes can be separated from each other or in contact with each other. When the first and second sub-boxes are separated, there is a space between them, which can be used to place an electronic device. Since a first sub-controller 31 is provided in the first sub-box and a second sub-controller is provided in the second sub-box, and control components are provided on the first and / or second sub-boxes respectively, the control components can be electrically connected to the first and second sub-controllers. Therefore, after the first and second sub-boxes are separated, the electronic device can be placed in the space between them, and the control components can then control the electronic device through the first and / or second sub-controllers. That is, in this embodiment of the application, by setting the headphone box as a detachable first sub-box and a second sub-box, and setting a first sub-controller 31 in the first sub-box and a second sub-controller in the second sub-box, and setting a control component on the first sub-box and / or the second sub-box, the control component is electrically connected to the first sub-controller and the second sub-controller respectively, thereby allowing the first sub-box and the second sub-box to be separated, placing the electronic device in the receiving space between the first sub-box and the second sub-box, and then controlling the electronic device through the control component, thereby diversifying the functions of the headphone box, and thus diversifying the functions of the headphone assembly.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0021] It should be understood that the phrase "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" throughout the specification means that a specific feature, structure, or characteristic related to the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of this application. Therefore, "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" appearing throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, these specific features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 The diagram shows one of the schematic diagrams of an earphone assembly provided in an embodiment of this application; see reference to Figure 2 The diagram below shows a second schematic of an earphone assembly provided in an embodiment of this application; see reference to Figure 3 The third schematic diagram of an earphone assembly provided in this application embodiment is shown; refer to Figure 4 The diagram shows a schematic of a first elastic component provided in an embodiment of this application; see reference to Figure 5 The fourth illustration shows a schematic diagram of an earphone assembly provided in an embodiment of this application; see reference to Figure 6 The fifth illustration shows a schematic diagram of an earphone assembly provided in an embodiment of this application. 。 like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the headphone assembly includes: headphone case 10.

[0023] The earphone case 10 includes a detachable first sub-case 11 and a second sub-case 12. A first sub-controller 31 is disposed in the first sub-case 11, and a second sub-controller 32 is disposed in the second sub-case 12. Control components are disposed on the first sub-case 11 and / or the second sub-case 12, respectively, and are electrically connected to the first sub-controller 32 and the second sub-controller 32. When the first sub-case 11 and the second sub-case 12 switch from being in contact to being separated, a receiving space is provided between them for accommodating electronic devices, and the control components control the electronic devices through the first sub-controller 31 and / or the second sub-controller 32.

[0024] Since the headphone case 10 includes a detachable first sub-case 11 and a second sub-case 12, the first sub-case 11 and the second sub-case 12 can be separated from each other or in contact with each other. When the first sub-case 11 and the second sub-case 12 are separated, there is a receiving space between them, which can be used to place electronic devices. Since the first sub-case 11 is provided with a first sub-controller 31 and the second sub-case 12 is provided with a second sub-controller 32, and control components are provided on the first sub-case 11 and / or the second sub-case 12, respectively, the control components can be electrically connected to the first sub-controller 32 and the second sub-controller 32. Therefore, after the first sub-case 11 and the second sub-case 12 are separated, the electronic devices can be placed in the receiving space between them, and the control components can then control the electronic devices through the first sub-controller 31 and / or the second sub-controller 32. That is, in this embodiment of the application, by setting the headphone box 10 as a detachable first sub-box 11 and a second sub-box 12, and setting a first sub-controller 31 in the first sub-box 11 and a second sub-controller 32 in the second sub-box 12, and setting control components on the first sub-box 11 and / or the second sub-box 12, the control components are electrically connected to the first sub-controller 32 and the second sub-controller 32 respectively, thereby allowing the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12 to be separated, and placing the electronic device in the accommodating space between the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12. Then, the electronic device can be controlled by the control components, thereby diversifying the functions of the headphone box 10, and thus diversifying the functions of the headphone assembly.

[0025] In some embodiments, the headphone assembly may further include a headphone 20. Both the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12 have receiving cavities for accommodating the headphone 20. The outer surface of the first sub-box 11 and / or the second sub-box 12 is provided with a groove 101. A connector 102 is disposed in the groove 101. The connector 102 is electrically connected to the first sub-controller 31 and / or the second sub-controller 32. When a portion of the headphone 20 is embedded in the groove 101, the headphone and the connector 102 form a control assembly, allowing the headphone 20 to control electronic devices.

[0026] Since both the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12 have receiving cavities, the earphone 20 can be placed in the receiving cavity, thus allowing the earphone 20 to be accommodated. Because the first sub-box 11 and / or the second sub-box 12 have grooves 101 on their outer surfaces, and connectors 102 are provided in the grooves 101, with the connectors 102 electrically connected to the first sub-controller 31 and / or the second sub-controller 32, the earphone 20 can be removed from the receiving cavity and placed in the groove 101. After the earphone 20 is placed in the groove 101, it will abut against the connectors 102 in the groove 101, thereby electrically connecting the first sub-controller 31 and the second sub-controller 32 to the earphone 20, and also establishing a communicative connection between the first sub-controller 31 and the second sub-controller 32 and the electronic device. Therefore, by moving the earphone 20, commands can be sent to the first sub-controller 31 and the second sub-controller 32, causing the first sub-controller 31 and the second sub-controller 32 to control the electronic device. That is, by providing a groove 101 on the first sub-box 11 and / or the second sub-box, providing a connector 102 in the groove 101, and providing a first sub-controller 31 and a second sub-controller 32 in the box, the first sub-controller 31 and the second sub-controller 32 are communicatively connected to the electronic device. Thus, after the earphone 20 is placed in the groove 101, by moving the earphone 20, different commands can be sent to the first sub-controller 31 and the second sub-controller 32 through the connector 102. Thus, the first sub-controller 31 and the second sub-controller 32 control the electronic device. That is, the electronic device can be controlled by moving the earphone 20, thereby diversifying the functions of the earphone box 10 and further diversifying the functions of the earphone assembly.

[0027] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the application, after the earphone 20 is placed into the groove 101, the earphone 20 can be moved in different directions, so that the earphone 20 moves in different directions in the groove 101, and the contact between the earphone 20 and the connector 102 is also different, so that the connector 102 can send different instructions to the first sub-controller 31 and / or the second sub-controller 32, and the first sub-controller 31 and the second sub-controller 32 can perform different controls on the electronic device.

[0028] In addition, in this embodiment, the electronic device can be a mobile phone. In this case, after the earphone 20 is placed into the groove 101, if the user is playing a game on the mobile phone, the user can control the game through the earphone 20; that is, the earphone 20 acts as a joystick. Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the earphone 20 is placed into the groove 101, it is essentially reused, making the earphone 20 function as a joystick to control the mobile phone, avoiding the need for additional components to control the phone.

[0029] In addition, in this embodiment, the first sub-controller 31 and the second sub-controller 32 can be control chips.

[0030] In addition, in some embodiments, control buttons 80 are provided on the first sub-box 11 and / or the second sub-box 12. The control buttons 80 are electrically connected to the first sub-controller 31 and / or the second sub-controller 32. The control buttons form a control component. The control buttons 80 are used to send control commands to the first sub-controller 31 and / or the second sub-controller 32 so that the first sub-controller 31 and / or the second sub-controller 32 control the electronic equipment according to the control commands.

[0031] When the first sub-box 11 and / or the second sub-box 12 are equipped with control buttons 80, and the control buttons 80 are electrically connected to the first sub-controller 31 and / or the second sub-controller 32, control commands can be sent to the first sub-controller 31 and / or the second sub-controller 32 by pressing the control buttons 80. After receiving the control commands, the first sub-controller 31 and / or the second sub-controller 32 can control the electronic devices accordingly. Furthermore, by providing control buttons 80, the means of controlling the electronic devices can be increased, allowing for more diverse control. Moreover, after the headphones 20 are placed in the recess 101, the headphones 20 and the control buttons 80 can simultaneously control the electronic devices, enabling diversified control and increasing user enjoyment. Additionally, after the headphones 20 are placed in the recess 101, the control buttons 80 can assist the headphones 20 in controlling the electronic devices.

[0032] For example, the headset 20 controls the first function of the electronic device, and the control button 80 controls the second function of the electronic device. As another example, the headset 20 controls the game character in the electronic device to move forward, and the control button 80 controls the game character to release attack skills.

[0033] It should be noted that when the housing includes a first sub-box 11 and a second sub-box 12, control buttons 80 can be provided on both the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12. Therefore, after separating the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12, when the electronic device is placed between the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12, the electronic device can be controlled using the control buttons 80 on the first sub-box 11 and / or the second sub-box 12. Furthermore, the control buttons 80 on the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12 can correspond to different control functions within the electronic device, thereby enabling different controls of the electronic device.

[0034] For example, the control button 80 on the first sub-box 11 corresponds to the function of turning on music in the electronic device, and the control button 80 on the second sub-box 12 corresponds to the function of turning on the camera in the electronic device.

[0035] For example, the control button 80 on the first sub-box 11 corresponds to the function of the game character in the electronic device releasing an attack skill, and the control button 80 on the second sub-box 12 corresponds to the function of the game character in the electronic device releasing a defense skill.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the number of control buttons 80 can be set according to actual needs. For example, the number of control buttons 80 may be 4, or even 2. This embodiment does not limit the specific number of control buttons 80.

[0037] In some embodiments, a first elastic component 40 is provided in the first sub-box 11. One end of the first elastic component 40 is fixed in the first sub-box 11, and the other end of the first elastic component 40 is fixedly connected to the second sub-box 12. When the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12 switch from mutual contact to mutual separation, the first elastic component 40 is in a first state; when the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12 are in contact, the first elastic component 40 is in a second state.

[0038] When a first elastic component 40 is provided in the first sub-box 11, with one end of the first elastic component 40 fixed in the first sub-box 11 and the other end fixedly connected to the second sub-box 12, when force is applied to the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12, causing the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12 to switch from being in contact with each other to moving away from each other, that is, when the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12 move away from each other, the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12 respectively pull the first elastic component 40. The first elastic component 40 can be in a first state with a gap between the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12, allowing the electronic device to be placed within this gap. The elastic force of the first elastic component 40 ensures that both the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12 are in contact with the electronic device, effectively making them a single unit. This allows the user to control the electronic device via the earphone 20 from the first sub-box 11 and / or the second sub-box 12. Furthermore, when the electronic device is placed in the gap between the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12, the first elastic component 40 also provides support, thus securing the electronic device within the first and second sub-boxes. When it is not necessary to separate the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12, the electronic device can be removed from between the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12. Due to the action of the first elastic component 40, the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12 move closer to each other until they make contact.

[0039] It should be noted that the number of the first elastic component 40 can be set according to actual needs. For example, the number of the first elastic component 40 is 2, or for another example, the number of the first elastic component 40 is 4. The specific number of the first elastic component 40 is not limited in this embodiment.

[0040] In some embodiments, the first elastic component 40 includes a turntable 41, a winding tape 42, and a coil spring 43. The winding tape 42 is wound around the turntable 41, with one end of the winding tape 42 fixedly connected to the turntable 41 and the other end fixedly connected to the second sub-box 12. One end of the coil spring 43 is fixed in the first sub-box 11, and the other end of the coil spring 43 is connected to the turntable 41. When the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12 switch from mutual contact to mutual separation, the winding tape 42 drives the turntable 41 to rotate, and the coil spring 43 is in a first state; when the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12 are in contact, the coil spring 43 is in a second state.

[0041] When the first elastic component 40 includes a turntable 41, a winding tape 42, and a coil spring 43, the winding tape 42 is wound around the turntable 41, with one end of the winding tape 42 fixedly connected to the turntable 41 and the other end fixedly connected to the second sub-box 12. One end of the coil spring 43 is fixed in the first sub-box 11, and the other end of the coil spring 43 is connected to the turntable 41. At this time, when force is applied to the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12, causing them to switch from mutual contact to mutual separation, i.e., when the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12 move away from each other, the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12... Pulling the reel 42 separates it from the turntable 41, causing it to rotate. The turntable 41 then applies force to the coil spring 43, causing it to contract. A gap exists between the first sub-casing 11 and the second sub-casing 12, allowing the electronic device to be placed within this gap. The spring spring 43's elasticity ensures that both the first and second sub-casings 11 and 12 are in contact with the electronic device, effectively making them a single unit. This allows the user to control the electronic device via the earphone 20 using the first and / or second sub-casings 11 and 12. Furthermore, when the electronic device is placed in the gap between the first and second sub-casings 11 and 12, the reel 42 provides support, securing the device within the two sub-casings. When it is not necessary to separate the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12, the electronic device can be removed from between the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12. Due to the action of the coil spring 43, the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12 are rewound onto the turntable 41, so that the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12 approach each other until they make contact.

[0042] It should be noted that a fixing block 411 is provided on the turntable 41, one end of the coil spring 43 is connected to the fixing block 411, and the other end of the coil spring 43 can be fixed in the first sub-box 11. Thus, when the winding belt 42 is pulled, the turntable 41 compresses the coil spring 43 through the fixing block 411, causing the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12 to move away from each other. Afterwards, when the force applied to the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12 is stopped, the coil spring 43 drives the fixing block 411, which in turn drives the turntable 41 to rotate, causing the belt to rewind onto the turntable 41, thereby bringing the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12 into contact.

[0043] Additionally, in some embodiments, the first elastic component 40 may include a spring 44. The spring 44 is at least partially located within the first sub-box 11, with one end fixed to the first sub-box 11 and the other end fixedly connected to the second sub-box 12. When the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12 switch from mutual contact to mutual separation, the spring 44 is in a stretched state; when the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12 are in contact, the spring 44 is in its original state.

[0044] When the first elastic component 40 includes a spring 44, and the spring 44 is partially located in the first sub-box 11, with one end of the spring 44 fixed to the first sub-box 11 and the other end fixedly connected to the second sub-box 12, when force is applied to the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12, causing the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12 to switch from mutual contact to mutual separation, that is, when the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12 are separated from each other, the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12 respectively pull the spring 44, so that the spring 44 is in a stretched state, and there is a gap between the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12, so that the electronic device can be placed in the gap. Through the elastic force of the spring 44, the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12 both abut against the electronic device, thereby equivalent to the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12 becoming a whole with the electronic device, which makes it convenient for the user to control the electronic device through the headphones 20 on the first sub-box 11 and / or the second sub-box 12. Furthermore, when the electronic device is placed in the gap between the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12, the spring 44 can also provide some support for the electronic device, thus securing it within the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12. When it is not necessary to separate the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12, the electronic device can be removed from between them. The first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12 will then contact each other due to the action of the spring 44, allowing the spring 44 to return to its original state.

[0045] In some embodiments, a first wireless communication module 50 may be provided in both the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12. The first wireless communication module 50 is electrically connected to the first sub-controller 31 and the second sub-controller 32, respectively, and is communicatively connected to electronic devices so that the first sub-controller 31 and / or the second sub-controller 32 can communicate with electronic devices through the first wireless communication module 50.

[0046] Since both the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12 are equipped with a first wireless communication module 50, and the first wireless communication module 50 is electrically connected to the first sub-controller 31 and the second sub-controller 32 respectively, and the first wireless communication module 50 communicates with the electronic device, after the earphone 20 is placed into the groove 101 on the box, by moving the earphone 20, the earphone 20 abuts against the connector 102, thereby sending different commands to the first sub-controller 31 and the second sub-controller 32. After receiving the corresponding command, the first sub-controller 31 and the second sub-controller 32 can send the command to the electronic device through the first wireless communication module 50 to control the electronic device accordingly. In addition, since the first wireless communication module 50 is electrically connected to the first sub-controller 31 and the second sub-controller 32, the first sub-controller 31 and the second sub-controller 32 can send commands to the electronic device through the first wireless communication module 50, and the first sub-controller 31 and the second sub-controller 32 communicate with the electronic device through the first wireless communication module 50.

[0047] It should be noted that the first wireless communication module 50 can be a Bluetooth module or a Near Field Communication (NFC) module. This application embodiment does not limit the specific type of module.

[0048] In some embodiments, the earphone 20 may include a second wireless communication module, and the groove 101 may have a connection contact point electrically connected to the first sub-controller 31 and / or the second sub-controller 32. When a portion of the earphone 20 is embedded in the groove 101, the earphone 20 contacts the connection contact point, thereby electrically connecting the second wireless communication module to the connection contact point. The first sub-controller 31 and / or the second sub-controller 32 then communicate with the electronic device via the first wireless communication module 50.

[0049] Since the earphone 20 is equipped with a first wireless communication module 50, and the groove 101 has a connection contact point electrically connected to the first sub-controller 31 and / or the second sub-controller 32, after the earphone 20 is placed into the groove 101, the earphone 20 can make contact with the connection contact point. This is equivalent to the connection contact point being conductive with the second wireless communication module in the earphone 20, thus enabling the first sub-controller 31 and the second sub-controller 32 to communicate with the second wireless communication module through the connection contact point. When the earphone 20 is in motion, the first sub-controller 31 and the second sub-controller 32 can control the electronic device accordingly through the second wireless communication module in the earphone 20.

[0050] It should be noted that the second wireless communication module can be a Bluetooth module or a Near Field Communication (NFC) module; however, this embodiment of the application does not limit the specific type of module.

[0051] In some embodiments, a power supply module 60 is provided in the housing, which is electrically connected to the first sub-controller 31 and the second sub-controller 32 respectively. The power supply module 60 is used to transmit electrical energy to the first sub-controller 31 and the second sub-controller 32. A charging interface 70 is provided on the housing, which is electrically connected to the power supply module 60 and is used to charge the power supply module 60.

[0052] Because the housing contains a power supply module 60, which is electrically connected to both the first sub-controller 31 and the second sub-controller 32, power can be supplied to them, ensuring their normal operation and allowing for extended periods of operation. Additionally, the housing includes a charging interface 70, which is electrically connected to the power supply module 60. A charging cable can be inserted into the charging interface 70 to connect it to a power source, thus charging the power supply module 60. In short, by including the power supply module 60 and the charging interface 70, the normal operation and extended operation of the first and second sub-controllers 31 can be ensured.

[0053] It should be noted that the charging interface 70 can be a Type-C interface. Of course, the charging interface 70 can also be other types of interfaces. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0054] In addition, in this embodiment of the application, when the box includes a first sub-box 11 and a second sub-box 12, a power supply module 60 can be provided in both the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12, and a charging interface 70 can be provided on both the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12.

[0055] In some embodiments, multiple connectors 102 are distributed around the bottom of the groove 101 at intervals, and each connector 102 corresponds to a different function of the electronic device. When part of the earphone 20 is embedded in the groove 101, the first sub-controller 31 and / or the second sub-controller 32 are communicatively connected to the electronic device. The earphone 20 abuts against one connector 102 to electrically connect the earphone 20 to the first sub-controller 31 and / or the second sub-controller 32, and the earphone 20 controls the electronic device to perform the corresponding function.

[0056] Since multiple connectors 102 are distributed at intervals around the bottom of the groove 101, and each connector 102 corresponds to a different function of the electronic device, after the earphone 20 is placed in the groove 101, the earphone 20 can abut against different connectors 102. When the earphone 20 abuts against a connector 102, the first sub-controller 31 and the second sub-controller 32 can execute the function corresponding to that connector 102, thereby controlling the electronic device to realize the function corresponding to the first sub-controller 31 and the second sub-controller 32, which can improve the user experience.

[0057] It should be noted that the number of connectors 102 can be set according to actual needs, and different connectors 102 can correspond to different functions. Thus, after the user places the earphone 20 into the groove 101, the user can control the electronic device in different ways through the earphone 20, thereby improving the user experience.

[0058] For example, there are four connectors 102, which are evenly spaced around the bottom of the groove 101. After the earphone 20 is placed into the groove 101, each connector 102 can correspond to one of four control functions. One connector 102 corresponds to the game character moving forward, another to moving backward, another to moving left, and the last connector 102 to moving right. As another example, one connector 102 corresponds to increasing the volume, another to decreasing the volume, another to switching audio channels, and the last connector to turning off the music.

[0059] In addition, in this embodiment, the connector 102 can be a mechanical switch, so that when the earphone 20 contacts the connector 102, the mechanical switch is turned on, and the mechanical switch can send a command to the first sub-controller 31 and the second sub-controller 32, and the first sub-controller 31 and the second sub-controller 32 can control the electronic device accordingly based on the command.

[0060] In addition, in this embodiment of the application, charging contacts may be provided on the cavity wall of the receiving cavity. The charging contacts are electrically connected to the power supply module 60, so that after the earphone 20 is placed into the receiving cavity, the earphone 20 contacts the charging contacts, and the earphone 20 can be charged through the charging contacts.

[0061] In addition, in this embodiment of the application, a battery 90 may be provided in the box body. The battery 90 is electrically connected to the power supply module 60, so that the electrical energy in the battery 90 can be transmitted to the first sub-controller 31 and the second sub-controller 32 through the power supply module 60 to power the first sub-controller 31 and the second sub-controller 32, so that the first sub-controller 31 and the second sub-controller 32 can operate normally.

[0062] When the box body includes a first sub-box 11 and a second sub-box 12, a battery 90 can be installed in both the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12.

[0063] Since the headphone case 10 includes a detachable first sub-case 11 and a second sub-case 12, the first sub-case 11 and the second sub-case 12 can be separated from each other or in contact with each other. When the first sub-case 11 and the second sub-case 12 are separated, there is a receiving space between them, which can be used to place electronic devices. Since the first sub-case 11 is provided with a first sub-controller 31 and the second sub-case 12 is provided with a second sub-controller 32, and control components are provided on the first sub-case 11 and / or the second sub-case 12, respectively, the control components can be electrically connected to the first sub-controller 32 and the second sub-controller 32. Therefore, after the first sub-case 11 and the second sub-case 12 are separated, the electronic devices can be placed in the receiving space between them, and the control components can then control the electronic devices through the first sub-controller 31 and / or the second sub-controller 32. That is, in this embodiment of the application, by setting the headphone box 10 as a detachable first sub-box 11 and a second sub-box 12, and setting a first sub-controller 31 in the first sub-box 11 and a second sub-controller 32 in the second sub-box 12, and setting control components on the first sub-box 11 and / or the second sub-box 12, the control components are electrically connected to the first sub-controller 32 and the second sub-controller 32 respectively, thereby allowing the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12 to be separated, and placing the electronic device in the accommodating space between the first sub-box 11 and the second sub-box 12. Then, the electronic device can be controlled by the control components, thereby diversifying the functions of the headphone box 10, and thus diversifying the functions of the headphone assembly.
