[0043] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0044] like Figures 1-12 As shown, the present invention provides an earphone box, comprising a box body 1, a box cover 3, and an adapter 4. An earphone slot 11 is provided at an end of the box body 1, and a sliding track 2 is provided on a side wall of the box body 1. The end of the sliding track 2 facing the notch of the earphone slot 11 is a reversing end. The box cover 3 has a closed state, in which the notch of the earphone slot 11 is covered, and an open state, in which the notch of the earphone slot 11 is open. The adapter 4 is connected to the box cover 3 and is movable on the sliding track 2. When the adapter 4 is at the reversing end, the box cover 3 can rotate relative to the box body 1, switching between the closed state and the open state. In the open state, the box cover 3 can slide along the sliding track 2 via the adapter 4.

[0045] In the present invention, the box body 1 and the box cover 3 are connected by the cooperation of the adapter 4 and the sliding track 2. In the closed state, the adapter 4 is located at the reversing end of the sliding track 2. When the box cover 3 is opened, the box cover 3 can first be rotated to the open state relative to the box body 1, and then slide away from the notch of the earphone slot 11 along the sliding track 2, thereby avoiding interference with the removal and placement of the earphones, allowing users to remove and place the earphones in the earphone slot 11 simply and quickly.

[0046] Specifically, the box body 1 is provided with two earphone slots 11, which are spaced apart in a first direction. When the adapter 4 is at the reversing end, it can rotate relative to the sliding track 2, allowing the box cover 3 to rotate relative to the box body 1 with the second direction as the axis. In the open state, the box cover 3 can slide along the sliding track 2 along the third direction via the adapter 4. The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other. The above arrangement ensures that when the box cover 3 slides away from the notch of the earphone slot 11 along the sliding track 2, the two earphones in the two earphone slots 11 and the box cover 3 are spaced apart in sequence along the first direction, allowing the user to pick up the earphones in the earphone slots 11 along the second direction, avoiding mutual interference between the two earphones when picking up along the first direction.

[0047] More specifically, the headphone box comprises a flat body 1, with a first direction defining the length of the box, a second direction defining the width of the box, and a third direction defining the height of the box. This arrangement ensures that when the box cover 3 slides along the sliding track 2 away from the notch of the headphone slot 11, it is positioned at one end of the box's length. This ensures that the box's center of gravity is more balanced when placed, making it less likely to tip over when opened for use.

[0048] In this embodiment, a battery and a control circuit board are built into the box body 1 of the earphone box, and a charging interface is provided on the outer wall of the box body 1. The earphones can be charged when placed in the earphone box. These are all conventional settings in this field, and the specific structure and working principle will not be repeated here.

[0049] Specifically, the adapter 4 includes a fixing rod 41 and a connecting rod 42. One end of the fixing rod 41 is connected to the box cover 3. The connecting rod 42 is vertically connected to the other end of the fixing rod 41 and movably connected to the sliding track 2. The above arrangement can simply and reliably achieve the connection between the box body 1 and the box cover 3.

[0050] More specifically, the sliding track 2 is formed on the side wall of the box body 1 and includes a sliding cavity 21 and a connecting hole 22 connected to the sliding cavity 21. When the cover is closed, the adapter 4 extends into the sliding cavity 21 through an opening at one end of the sliding cavity 21 in the longitudinal direction. When the cover is open, the adapter 4 extends into the sliding cavity 21 through the connecting hole 22. The provision of the sliding cavity 21 and the connecting hole enables the adapter 4 to rotate and slide on the sliding track 2, improving the reliability and safety of the connection between the adapter 4 and the sliding track 2. In addition to the above configuration, the sliding track 2 can also be a T-shaped ridge structure provided on the side wall of the box body 1, with the adapter 4 sleeved onto this ridge structure.

[0051] In this embodiment, the sliding cavity 21 and the connecting hole 22 both extend along the third direction, that is, the height direction of the earphone box. The connecting rod 42 is located in the sliding cavity 21 and extends along the second direction. The fixed rod 41 passes through one end of the sliding cavity 21 in the length direction or the connecting hole 22 and extends into the sliding cavity 21 and is connected to the connecting rod 42.

[0052] Specifically, the sliding cavity 21 includes a interconnected reversing section 211 and a sliding section 212. In a cross-section perpendicular to its length, the cross-sectional area of the reversing section 211 is larger than that of the sliding section 212. When the adapter 4 is at the reversing end, it is located in the reversing section 211. The provision of the reversing section 211 provides space for the adapter 4 to rotate and change direction, preventing the adapter 4 from becoming stuck in the sliding cavity 21 when the lid 3 is switched between the closed and open positions.

[0053] More specifically, when the adapter 4 is located in the sliding section 212, the sidewalls of the sliding section 212 interfere with the rotation of the adapter 4. This arrangement allows the adapter 4 to slide only within the sliding section 212 and not to rotate. This allows the cover 3 to slide more smoothly along the sliding track 2 via the adapter 4, reducing shaking.

[0054] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the connecting rod 42 perpendicular to the length direction is a square with a side length A, and the cross-section of the sliding cavity 21 perpendicular to the length direction is a rectangle. The side length of the rectangle parallel to the first direction is B, and the side length parallel to the second direction is C. In terms of size relationship, A is equal to B, and the length of the connecting rod 42 is equal to C. Therefore, when the box cover 3 is in the open state, when the fixing rod 41 leaves the reversing section 211, it extends along the first direction, and the connecting rod 42 is clamped between the two side walls of the sliding section 212 in the first direction, and can only slide horizontally but not rotate.

[0055] Specifically, the earphone case further includes an elastic member 5. The sidewalls of the reversing section 211 and the sliding section 212 facing the earphone slot 11 are flush, forming a guide wall 213. The elastic member 5 is disposed in the reversing section 211 and is configured to drive the adapter 4 against the guide wall 213. This arrangement ensures that when the lid 3 is in the closed state, the elastic member 5 exerts a lateral stopping force on the lid 3 via the adapter 4, preventing the lid 3 from accidentally rotating and opening. Furthermore, when the lid 3 is in the open state, the elastic member 5 exerts a guiding force on the adapter 4, allowing the adapter 4 to smoothly pass from the reversing section 211 into the sliding section 212 along the guide wall 213.

[0056] More specifically, the side wall of the reversing section 211 away from the earphone slot 11 is the first side wall 214, the side wall of the sliding section 212 away from the earphone slot 11 is the second side wall 215, the distance between the first side wall 214 and the guide wall 213 is greater than the distance between the second side wall 215 and the guide wall 213, and the elastic member 5 is an elastic spring sheet, which is arranged on the first side wall 214 and extends toward the guide wall 213.

[0057] In this embodiment, when the fixing rod 41 is located in the reversing section 211, the box cover 3 is in the closed state, the fixing rod 41 extends along the third direction, and the two side walls of the connecting rod 42 are clamped between the guide wall 213 and the elastic member 5. When the box cover 3 is in the open state, the fixing rod 41 extends along the first direction, and the other two side walls of the connecting rod 42 are clamped between the guide wall 213 and the elastic member 5, so that the box cover 3 can be positioned and stopped in the closed state and the open state.

[0058] Specifically, the earphone box further includes a stopper 6, which is disposed on the box body 1 and located at one end of the sliding track 2. When the adapter 4 abuts against the stopper 6, it is located at the reversing end. The above arrangement enables the adapter 4 to be located at the reversing end more accurately and reliably.

[0059] More specifically, the stopper 6 includes a magnet, and the stopper 6 is configured to attract the adapter 4 and stop it at the reversing end. By providing the magnet, the position accuracy of the box cover 3 relative to the box body 1 in the closed state is improved.

[0060] More specifically, the earphone box also includes a stop block, which is arranged on the box body 1 and located at the other end of the sliding track 2. When the adapter 4 abuts against the stop block, the overall action of opening the cover is completed, thereby avoiding the notch of the earphone slot 11.

[0061] In this embodiment, the limit block 6 blocks the opening of one end of the sliding cavity 21 toward the notch of the earphone slot 11, and an avoidance hole is provided on the limit block 6, which is respectively connected to the sliding cavity 21 and the connecting hole 22. When the box cover 3 is in the closed state, the fixing rod 41 passes through the avoidance hole and extends into the sliding cavity 21. When the box cover 3 is in the open state, the fixing rod 41 moves into the connecting hole 22 through the avoidance hole. The stop block blocks the opening of one end of the sliding cavity 21 away from the notch of the earphone slot 11, and also includes a magnet, which can stop the box cover 3 in the open state through the magnetic adapter 4.

[0062] Specifically, an operating portion 31 is provided on the outer wall of the box cover 3 facing away from the box body 1. By providing the operating portion 31, the user can manually operate the box cover 3 to rotate and slide.

[0063] In this embodiment, the operating portion 31 is a groove, which is provided at the middle position in the length direction of the box cover 3 and passes through the width direction of the box cover 3. In addition to the above groove structure, the operating portion 31 can also be a boss structure.

[0064] The specific steps of opening the earphone box of the present invention are as follows:

[0065] First, the box cover 3 rotates relative to the box body 1 with the second direction as the axis, and is adjusted from the closed state to the open state.

[0066] Then, the box cover 3 slides along the third direction on the sliding track 2 through the adapter 4. During the sliding process, the box cover 3 is always in an open state relative to the box body 1.

[0067] Finally, the adapter 4 stops at one end of the sliding cavity 21 away from the earphone slot 11, and the box cover 3 is in the open state relative to the box body 1, completing the opening action.

[0068] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
