[0037] Wireless earbuds are currently very popular and convenient to use. They are paired with a charging case, which is also very easy to use. Simply open the charging case lid to take out the left and right earbuds. There are various ways to open the charging case lid, the most common being to rotate the top shell of the charging case 90 degrees to open it. However, the existing opening methods are quite conventional and cannot meet the users' demand for novelty.

[0038] In view of this, the present invention proposes an earphone case 100. Figures 1 to 5 This is one embodiment of the present invention.

[0039] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The earphone case 100 includes a case body 1 and a push-pull assembly 3. One side of the case body 1 is a mounting side 1a, and an earphone compartment 2 is provided on the mounting side 1a of the case body 1 for accommodating earphones. The push-pull assembly 3 includes an operating part 31 and a stop top 32. The operating part 31 is movably disposed on the outside of the case body 1, and the stop top 32 is configured to extend at least partially into the earphone compartment 2 and is movably disposed in the depth direction close to the earphone compartment 2. The operating part 31 is drivenly connected to the stop top 32 so that the operating part 31 can drive the stop top 32 to push against the earphone placed in the earphone compartment 2 during its active stroke.

[0040] In the technical solution of the present invention, when it is necessary to take out the earphone located in the housing 1, the user can operate the operation part 31 to move along the depth direction of the earphone compartment 2, thereby pushing out the top of the earphone located in the earphone compartment 2. The operation of taking out the earphone is convenient and can meet the novelty needs of the user group.

[0041] It should be noted that the number of earphone compartments 2 located on the mounting side 1a is not limited. Since there are generally two earphones, the number of earphone compartments 2 can be one or two. When there is only one earphone compartment 2, two earphones can be placed in the corresponding earphone compartment 2; when there are two earphone compartments 2, one earphone is placed in each earphone compartment 2. Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the number of earphone compartments 2 is two, and correspondingly, the number of abutment tops 32 is also two, and the operation unit 31 can be driven connected to both abutment tops 32.

[0042] Furthermore, the location of the operating part 31 is not limited and can be located at any position on the housing 1. In one embodiment of the present invention, the side of the housing 1 opposite to the mounting side 1a is designated as the operating side 1b; the operating part 31 is located on the operating side 1b. That is, the operating part 31 and the earphone compartment 2 are respectively located on opposite sides of the housing 1. When a user needs to retrieve the earphones, the mounting side 1a can be facing the user, the housing 1 can be held, and the operating part 31 can be driven by the user's fingers to move the earphones out of the earphone compartment 2 for easy retrieval.

[0043] Furthermore, the operating side 1b is provided with a mounting groove 4; the operating part 31 is movably disposed within the mounting groove 4. By movably disposing the operating side 1b within the mounting groove 4, the operating side 1b will not protrude from the periphery of the housing 1, thus preventing the earphones located in the earphone compartment 2 from being pushed out due to contact with the operating side 1b in various environments. Simultaneously, the operating part 31 being located within the mounting groove 4 also provides a certain degree of protection for the operating part 31.

[0044] Furthermore, the bottom of the mounting groove 4 has a through hole 5 that passes through the earphone compartment 2; the abutment 32 is installed in the through hole 5 and can move into the earphone compartment 2, and the abutment 32 is connected to or abuts against the operating part 31. When the earphone is in the earphone compartment 2, most of the main body of the abutment 32 is located within the through hole 5 so as not to affect the placement of the earphone. When it is necessary to remove the earphone, the operating part 31 is used to drive the abutment 32 to move into the earphone compartment 2, thereby occupying part of the space inside the earphone compartment 2 to push the earphone out of the earphone compartment 2.

[0045] The driving connection between the operating part 31 and the abutment top 32 is not limited; it can be driven by magnetic repulsion or by connection through external parts.

[0046] Furthermore, the through hole 5 also extends through the mounting groove 4; the abutment 32 is connected to or abuts against the operating part 31. Specifically, the abutment 32 can extend from the through hole 5 into the mounting groove 4, and can directly contact the operating part 31. Thus, when the operating part 31 moves, the abutment 32 moves within the through hole 5 to abut the earphone, causing the earphone shell to extend into the earphone compartment 2. The operating part 31 and the abutment 32 can be fixedly connected to each other or abut against each other.

[0047] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 The operating part 31 is elastically and movably mounted on the mounting groove 4 via the elastic member 6. The operating part 31 has a first position close to the mounting side 1a and a second position away from the mounting side 1a. In the first position, the operating part 31 drives the abutment top 32 to abut the earphone disposed in the earphone compartment 2. In the second position, the operating part 31 drives the abutment top 32 away from the earphone compartment 2. The elastic member 6 is used to reset the operating part 31 to the second position. The abutment top 32 is located in the through hole 5. When the operating part 31 moves to the first position, part of the abutment top 32 moves into the earphone compartment to push the earphone. When the operating part 31 moves to the second position, the abutment top 32 moves away from the earphone compartment so as not to affect the placement of the earphone. When the operator takes out the earphone, he only needs to drive the operating part 31 from the second position to the first position. After taking out the earphone, the elastic member 6 can automatically drive the operating part 31 from the second position to the first position to facilitate the user's placement of the earphone.

[0048] The form of the elastic element is not limited; it can be a spring or an elastic washer.

[0049] Furthermore, since the elastic member 6 is used to reset the operating part 31 from the first position to the second position, the elastic member 6 always applies a force to the operating part 31 in a direction away from the housing 1. In order to prevent the operating part 31 from being dislodged from the mounting groove 4 by force, specifically, in one embodiment of the present invention, a limiting part 7 is provided in the housing 1, and the limiting part 7 restricts the operating part 31 from being dislodged from the mounting groove 4.

[0050] Further, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The mounting side 1a is also provided with a receiving groove 8, and a communicating hole 9 is provided between the receiving groove 8 and the mounting groove 4. A connecting part 10 is movably disposed in the communicating hole 9. One end of the connecting part 10 is connected to the operating part 31, and the other end of the connecting part 10 extends into the receiving groove 8. A limiting part 7 is disposed at the other end of the connecting part 10 to restrict the other end of the connecting part 10 from coming out of the receiving groove 8. That is, in this embodiment, by providing the limiting part 7 at the other end of the connecting part 10, the limiting part 7 cooperates with the operating part 31 to limit the connecting part 10 to the communicating hole 9 without affecting the movement of the connecting part 10. Similarly, since the limiting part 7 and the connecting part 10 cooperate with each other, the operating part 31 is also restricted from coming out of the mounting groove 4. The form of the limiting part 7 is not limited; it can be a protrusion or a clamp. Specifically, in this embodiment, the limiting part 7 is set as a clamp and is sleeved on the outer periphery of the connecting part 10.

[0051] In addition, a receiving groove 8 is provided on the mounting side 1a, so that the connecting part 10 will be located in the receiving groove 8 during the movement and will not protrude from the box body 1 during its movement, so as not to affect the overall aesthetics of the headphone box 100.

[0052] The connection between the connecting part 10 and the mounting part can be configured as a detachable connection or as an integral molding.

[0053] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3The earphone case 100 further includes a cover 111, which covers the mounting side 1a and is rotatably mounted on the case body 1 along the extension axis from the mounting side 1a to the operating side 1b. The cover 111 has a through hole 12 at a position corresponding to the earphone compartment 2. Within its rotational stroke, the cover 111 allows the through hole 12 to connect with or be offset from the earphone compartment 2. Specifically, by rotating the cover 111, the through hole 12 can connect with or be offset from the earphone compartment 2. When the through hole 12 connects with the earphone compartment 2, the earphone can be normally removed from the earphone compartment 2. When the through hole 12 is offset from the earphone compartment 2, the opening of the earphone compartment 2 is blocked by the cover 111, restricting the earphone from being removed from the earphone compartment 2, thus protecting the earphone inside the earphone compartment 2. The rotational mounting method of the cover 111 is not limited; it can be simply installed on the mounting side 1a. The mounting side 1a can also be partially surrounded by the box body 1. Specifically, in one embodiment of the present invention, the box body 1 includes a side portion located between the mounting side 1a and the operating side 1b, and is arranged in a columnar shape. The cover 111 is rotatably mounted on the box body 1 and partially surrounds the box body 1. A fastener and a fastening part are also provided between the box body 1 and the cover 111. The fastening part and the fastener fasten each other to restrict the separation of the cover 111 from the box body 1 without affecting the rotation of the cover 111.

[0054] Furthermore, the box 1 can be an integrated unit or a modular unit; for details, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 5 In one embodiment of the present invention, the box body 1 is configured as a split unit, including a lower box body 13, a cover plate 14 and an upper box body 15 connected to each other, so as to facilitate the assembly of the internal parts of the box body 1. The form of detachable connection between the lower box body 13, the cover plate 14 and the upper box body 15 is not limited, and can be glued, snapped or bolted.

[0055] The present invention also proposes an earphone case assembly, which includes an earphone case and earphones, the earphones being housed in the earphone case. The earphone case is as described above. Since the earphone case assembly adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0056] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
