[0020] Implementation Method 1

[0021] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The storage case according to this embodiment is configured, for example, as a charging case that stores and charges wireless earphones, rechargeable dry cell batteries, portable batteries, etc. Hereinafter, an example will be described where the stored item is a pair of left and right wireless earphones.

[0022] Figure 1 This is a perspective view showing the schematic structure of the storage box according to this embodiment. Additionally, in Figure 1 In the middle, partial perspective is used. Figure 2 This is a diagram showing the structure of the storage box according to this embodiment.

[0023] In addition, Figure 2 For ease of understanding, only the storage section of the wireless earphone 100 on the right is shown. The structure of the storage section of the wireless earphone 100 on the left is roughly the same as that of the storage section of the wireless earphone 100 on the right, so it is omitted.

[0024] The storage box 1 according to this embodiment includes a storage part 2, a lid part 3, and a movable part 4.

[0025] The storage section 2 is configured as a frame. The storage section 2 houses each wireless earphone 100 and has a pair of openings 21 for each wireless earphone 100 to enter and exit. For example, the storage section 2 has a left-side storage chamber 22 for storing the left-side wireless earphone 100 and a right-side storage chamber 22 for storing the right-side wireless earphone 100. The left-side storage chamber 22 corresponds to the shape of the left-side wireless earphone 100. The right-side storage chamber 22 corresponds to the shape of the right-side wireless earphone 100.

[0026] The cover 3 covers the opening 21. The cover 3 can be opened and closed relative to the storage part 2 via a hinge or the like. A rib 31 protruding toward the storage part 2 is formed on the inner side of the cover 3.

[0027] The movable part 4 moves toward the opening 21 in conjunction with the opening action of the cover 3. The movable part 4 is, for example, an arm-shaped component extending vertically. A platform 41 extending in a plate shape toward the left and right storage chambers 22 is formed at the lower end of the movable part 4. The lower ends of each wireless earphone 100 stored in the left and right storage chambers 22 are respectively placed on the platform 41. The platform 41 supports its lower ends. In addition, the movable part 4 is not limited to the above-described arm shape, and may also be formed in a cage shape, for example.

[0028] Electrode portions 5 protruding toward the openings 21 are respectively provided on the lower surface of the left and right storage chambers 22. Each electrode portion 5 is connected to a battery (not shown). The electrode portions 5 and the battery are a specific example of the charging unit described later. Furthermore, the battery is a structure disposed within the storage section 2, but it is not limited to this; it may also be a structure disposed outside the storage section 2 and connected via wiring through the connecting portion of the storage section 2.

[0029] On the platform 41 of the movable part 4, a through hole 43 is formed at a position corresponding to the mounting position of the electrode part 5. Each electrode part 5 passes through the through hole 43 of the platform 41 and contacts the charging electrode 102 at the lower end of the left and right wireless earphones 100 housed in the left and right storage chambers 22. As a result, power can be supplied from the battery to the left and right wireless earphones 100 housed in the left and right storage chambers 22 via the electrode part 5 for charging.

[0030] The movable part 4 is configured to move vertically between the left and right storage chambers 22. A spring member 6 is provided between the lower end of the movable part 4 and the lower side of the storage part 2. Through this spring member 6, the movable part 4 is subjected to force toward the opening 21 (above).

[0031] When the cover 3 is closed, the top end of the rib 31 of the cover 3 abuts against the upper end of the moving part 4. Therefore, by closing the cover 3, the moving part 4 is pressed into the storage part 2 (downward) by means of the rib 31 of the cover 3, overcoming the force of the spring member 6.

[0032] When the left and right wireless earphones 100 are stored in the left and right storage chambers 22, the left and right wireless earphones 100 are placed on the platform 41 at the lower end of the movable part 4. Therefore, when the platform 41 of the movable part 4 moves downward in conjunction with the closing action of the cover 3, the left and right wireless earphones 100 placed on the platform 41 also move downward and are thus stored in the left and right storage chambers 22.

[0033] In this way, by closing the cover 3, the left and right wireless earphones 100 can be easily stored in the left and right storage chambers 22. At this time, as described above, the through holes 43 of each electrode part 5 through the platform part 41 contact the charging electrodes 102 at the lower ends of the left and right wireless earphones 100 stored in the left and right storage chambers 22, respectively, so that power can be supplied to the left and right wireless earphones 100 from the battery through the electrode parts 5 for charging.

[0034] On the other hand, when the cover 3 is opened, the upper end of the moving part 4 is released from the rib 31 of the cover 3, and is thus pushed upward toward the opening 21 (upward direction) by the force of the spring member 6. In this way, the moving part 4 is configured to move upward in conjunction with the opening action of the cover 3.

[0035] When the left and right wireless earphones 100 are taken out of the left and right storage compartments 22 respectively, if the platform 41 of the moving part 4 moves upward in conjunction with the opening action of the cover 3, the left and right wireless earphones 100 placed on the platform 41 also move upward and come out of the left and right storage compartments 22. In this way, the left and right wireless earphones 100 can be easily taken out of the left and right storage compartments 22 by opening the cover 3.

[0036] In addition, the upward movement of the aforementioned moving part 4 is preferably set to balance the ease of removing the wireless earphone 100 and the prevention of it falling.

[0037] However, in the past, wireless earphones were magnetically attached and stored in a storage compartment to prevent them from falling out. Therefore, when opening the cover 3 to remove the stored item from the storage compartment, it may be difficult to remove the magnetically attached item.

[0038] In contrast, in this embodiment, the storage box 1 has a fixing release part 7, which moves downward in conjunction with the closing action of the moving part 4 and the cover part 3, moves toward the wireless earphone 100 in conjunction with the movement of the moving part 4 and comes into contact with the wireless earphone 100, thereby fixing the wireless earphone 100 to the moving part 4. When the moving part 4 moves toward the opening part 21 in conjunction with the opening action of the cover part 3, it moves away from the wireless earphone 100 in conjunction with the movement of the moving part 4 and releases the wireless earphone 100.

[0039] Therefore, in conjunction with the closing action of the cover 3, the wireless earphone 100 is secured to the moving part 4 via the fixing release part 7, preventing it from falling off. Furthermore, in conjunction with the opening action of the cover 3, the wireless earphone 100 is released from the moving part 4, allowing the user to easily remove the wireless earphone 100 from the storage part 2.

[0040] Next, the method for securing the wireless earphone 100 with the securing release part 7 will be described in detail. The securing release part 7 is configured, for example, as a rod-shaped member or a plate-shaped member extending in the left-right direction. The securing release parts 7 are respectively provided on the side walls 23 of the storage chamber 22 on the left and right sides so as to be movable in the left-right direction. The securing release part 7 on the left side secures the wireless earphone 100 on the left side, and the securing release part 7 on the right side secures the wireless earphone 100 on the right side.

[0041] An inclined slit 71 is formed at the rear end of the fixed release part 7. A pin 42 installed on the movable part 4 is inserted into the slit 71 at the rear end of the fixed release part 7, and the pin 42 of the movable part 4 engages with the slit 71 of the fixed release part 7.

[0042] According to the above structure, when the moving part 4 moves downward according to the closing action of the cover part 3, the pin 42 of the moving part 4 presses the slit 71 of the fixing release part 7 toward the wireless earphone 100 side. As a result, the fixing release part 7 moves toward the wireless earphone 100 side, and its top end abuts against the wireless earphone 100.

[0043] Here, a recessed portion 101 is formed on the wireless earphone 100. The top end of the fixing release portion 7 abuts against the recessed portion 101 of the wireless earphone 100. Furthermore, a circular R-shape is formed on the top end of the fixing release portion 7, and the top end is pushed to the corner of the recessed portion 101 and abuts against it.

[0044] By abutting, the top of the fixing release part 7 presses down on the wireless earphone 100, pressing the lower end of the wireless earphone 100 against the platform part 41 of the moving part 4. This not only fixes the wireless earphone 100 to the platform part 41 of the moving part 4, but also ensures that the charging electrode 102 at the lower end of the wireless earphone 100 makes full contact with the electrode part 5 of the through hole 43 in the platform part 41, enabling reliable charging.

[0045] On the other hand, when the moving part 4 moves upward according to the opening action of the cover part 3, the pin 42 of the moving part 4 presses the slit 71 of the fixing release part 7 toward the moving part 4 side. As a result, the fixing release part 7 moves toward the moving part 4 side, and its top end leaves the concave part 101 of the wireless earphone 100, releasing the wireless earphone 100 from the fixing release part 7. Then, the wireless earphone 100 moves upward by the upward movement of the moving part 4 and the platform part 41, and comes out from the storage chambers 22 on the left and right sides. As a result, the user can easily take the wireless earphone 100 out of the storage chamber 22.

[0046] Furthermore, as described above, by interlocking the opening and closing of the cover 3 to cut off and make contact with the charging electrode 102 of the wireless earphone 100, the self-cleaning (contact activation) of the charging contacts can be promoted simply by opening and closing the cover 3 without disassembling the wireless earphone 100, thus preventing contact malfunction. For example, even when using either the left or right side of the wireless earphone 100, the contacts of the side of the wireless earphone 100 that is not in use can be activated.

[0047] In this embodiment, the pair of left and right wireless earphones 100 are respectively stored in the left and right storage chambers 22, but it is not limited to this. It is also possible to store a single wireless earphone 100 in a single storage chamber 22.

[0048] Implementation Method 2

[0049] Figure 3 This is a block diagram showing a general system structure of the storage box according to this embodiment. The storage box 1 according to this embodiment 2 includes: a charging unit 8 for charging the left and right wireless earphones 100; a charging detection unit 9 for detecting the charging status of the left and right wireless earphones 100; and a linkage control unit 10 for controlling whether the opening action of the cover 3 is linked to the movement of the moving unit 4.

[0050] The charging detection unit 9 detects, for example, the charging level of the left and right wireless earphones 100. The charging detection unit 9 is composed of, for example, a current sensor and a voltage sensor. The charging detection unit 9 outputs the detected charging level of the left and right wireless earphones 100 to the linkage control unit 10.

[0051] The linkage control unit 10 controls whether to link the opening action of the cover 3 with the movement of the moving unit 4 based on the charging amount of the left and right wireless earphones 100 detected by the charging detection unit 9.

[0052] The linkage control unit 10 has, for example, a typical computer hardware structure, including processors such as CPU (Central Processing Unit) and GPU (Graphics Processing Unit); internal memory such as RAM (Random Access Memory) and ROM (Read Only Memory); storage devices such as HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and SDD (Solid State Drive); input / output I / F for connecting peripheral devices such as displays; and communication I / F for communicating with devices outside the device.

[0053] For example, a latching mechanism 11 is provided in the moving part 4 to move or stop the moving part 4 in the vertical direction. The latching mechanism 11 is configured to be operated by an actuator such as an electromagnetic switch to prevent the movement of the moving part. If the charging amount of the left and right wireless earphones 100 detected by the charging detection unit 9 is below a specified amount and is determined to be unsuitable for use, the linkage control unit 10 controls the actuator of the latching mechanism 11 to be activated, thereby stopping the movement of the moving part 4.

[0054] Therefore, even if the user opens the cover 3, the moving part 4 will not move upward in conjunction with the opening action. In this case, the left and right wireless earphones 100 will not protrude outwards while stored in the left and right storage chambers 22. Therefore, the user can easily identify that the left and right wireless earphones 100 are undercharged by the fact that they do not protrude outwards. In addition, since the left and right wireless earphones 100 continue to be charged via the electrode part 5, reliable charging is possible.

[0055] On the other hand, when the linkage control unit 10 determines that the charge level of the left and right wireless earphones 100 detected by the charging detection unit 9 is greater than a predetermined amount, it controls the actuator of the latching mechanism 11 to prevent it from operating, thereby linking the movement of the moving unit 4 with the opening action of the cover 3. The left and right wireless earphones 100 emerge from the left and right storage chambers 22 outwards. Therefore, the user can easily identify whether the left and right wireless earphones 100 are fully charged by observing the outward emergence of the left and right wireless earphones 100.

[0056] Furthermore, the charging detection unit 9 can also detect charging abnormalities as the charging status of the left and right wireless earphones 100. For example, if the charging time of the left and right wireless earphones 100 has exceeded a certain period of time, but the charging amount is below a predetermined amount, the charging detection unit 9 will detect a charging abnormality.

[0057] The charging detection unit 9 can also notify the user of a charging abnormality through warning sounds and warning lights. For example, the warning sounds and warning lights can be output using the speakers of the left and right wireless earphones 100, the storage box 1, or LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes). The user can easily identify charging abnormalities through these warning sounds and warning lights, and can easily and quickly repair the abnormality by simply opening and closing the cover 3 to perform self-cleaning of the charging contacts. Furthermore, during the opening and closing of the cover 3, the linkage control unit 10 controls the actuator of the latching mechanism 11 to operate, thereby controlling the movement of the stop movement unit 4.

[0058] In this embodiment, the linkage control unit 10 may also control whether to link the movement of the left and right moving parts 4 with the opening action of the cover 3 based on the charging amount of the left and right wireless earphones 100 detected by the charging detection unit 9. In this case, a pair of left and right moving parts 4 are respectively provided on the storage unit 2 corresponding to the pair of left and right wireless earphones 100.

[0059] For example, if the linkage control unit 10 determines that the charge level of the left wireless earphone 100 detected by the charging detection unit 9 is below a predetermined amount, it controls the actuator of the latching mechanism 11 to operate, thereby stopping the movement of the left moving part 4. Similarly, if the linkage control unit 10 determines that the charge level of the right wireless earphone 100 detected by the charging detection unit 9 is below a predetermined amount, it controls the actuator of the latching mechanism 11 to operate, thereby stopping the movement of the right moving part 4.

[0060] Therefore, users can individually identify whether the left and right wireless earphones 100 have sufficient charge by extending them outwards. Furthermore, when the charge is sufficient for use, the wireless earphones 100 can be easily removed.

[0061] Implementation Method 3

[0062] Figure 4 This is a block diagram showing the general system structure of the storage box according to this embodiment. In this embodiment, a pair of left and right buttons 12 and a pair of left and right movable parts 4 are respectively provided on the storage part 2, corresponding to a pair of left and right wireless earphones 100.

[0063] The linkage control unit 10 controls whether the movement of each movable part 4 on the left and right sides is linked to the opening action of the cover 3 based on the operation of each button 12 on the left and right sides. The buttons 12 on the left and right sides are respectively connected to the linkage control unit 10. The buttons 12 on the left and right sides are configured, for example, as switches that can be turned on and off by pressing. The buttons 12 on the left and right sides can also be switched to the on state by being pressed, outputting an on signal.

[0064] The linkage control unit 10 causes the left and right moving parts 4 corresponding to the operation of each button 12 on the left and right sides to move toward the opening 21 in conjunction with the opening action of the cover 3, thereby causing each wireless earphone 100 on the left and right sides corresponding to the operation of each button 12 on the left and right sides to move toward the opening 21.

[0065] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown on the left, when the user presses the right button 12, the right button 12 becomes active and outputs an activation signal to the linkage control unit 10. When the linkage control unit 10 receives the activation signal from the right button 12, it controls the right moving part 4 to move toward the opening part 21 in conjunction with the opening action of the cover part 3, which corresponds to the operation of the right button 12.

[0066] In this case, when the user opens the cover 3, only the right-side moving part 4 moves toward the opening 21, as shown. Figure 5 As shown on the right, the wireless earphone 100 on the right emerges from the storage compartment 22 on the right. This allows the user to easily remove the wireless earphone 100 from the storage compartment 22 on the right.

[0067] In addition, Figure 5 For ease of understanding, only the storage section of the wireless earphone 100 on the right is shown. The structure of the storage section of the wireless earphone 100 on the left is roughly the same as that of the storage section of the wireless earphone 100 on the right, so it is omitted.

[0068] On the other hand, when the user presses the left button 12, the left button 12 becomes active and outputs an activation signal to the linkage control unit 10. Upon receiving the activation signal from the left button 12, the linkage control unit 10 controls the left movable part 4, corresponding only to the operation of the left button 12, to move towards the opening 21 in conjunction with the opening action of the cover 3. In this case, when the user opens the cover 3, only the left movable part 4 moves towards the opening 21, and the left wireless earphone 100 emerges from the left storage compartment 22. Thus, the user can easily remove the left wireless earphone 100 from the left storage compartment 22.

[0069] In this way, users can individually remove one of the wireless earbuds 100 by pressing the button 12 corresponding to the desired earbud on the left or right side. This is particularly convenient when holding the storage case with one hand and removing the earbuds 100 with the other. Furthermore, it is not necessary to have multiple buttons 12 corresponding to each of the left and right earbuds 100; a single button 12 that can be configured for each earbud is sufficient. For example, it could also be a slide switch with multiple configuration positions.

[0070] In this embodiment, the structure of storing two wireless earphones 100 is described, but the number of earphones stored can be three or more, or any number of earphones.

[0071] For example, when three items are stored in three separate storage compartments 22, each storage unit 2 is equipped with a button 12 and a moving part 4 corresponding to one of the three items. The linkage control unit 10 can also cause each moving part 4 corresponding to the operation of each button 12 to move toward the opening 21 in conjunction with the opening action of the cover 3, thereby causing each item corresponding to the operation of each button 12 to move toward the opening 21. The button 12 can be any button corresponding to three or more storage compartments 22, or fewer than the number of storage compartments, and can be set to correspond to each of the three or more storage compartments 22. For example, it can also be a slide switch with multiple setting positions.

[0072] Implementation Method 4

[0073] In this embodiment, a guide (not shown) is provided in the storage section 2. When the wireless earphone 100 is moved toward the opening 21 by the moving section 4, the guide causes the left and right wireless earphones 100 to rotate or tilt.

[0074] Therefore, the left and right wireless earphones 100 protrude from the left and right storage parts 2, and when the user takes out the left and right wireless earphones 100, a gap is formed between the left and right wireless earphones 100 and the storage part 2 for the fingers to enter, thereby improving the ease of taking them out.

[0075] For example, the storage section 2 may be provided with a guide portion that rotates the wireless earphone 100 when it is moved upward toward the opening 21 by the moving part 4. The guide portion may also be a concave groove formed obliquely in the vertical direction on the inner side of the storage chamber 22.

[0076] The wireless earphone 100 is provided with a protrusion that inserts into and engages with the slot. When the wireless earphone 100 moves upward toward the opening 21, it passes through the slot, as... Figure 6Rotate as shown in the upper right corner. In addition, the guide portion is a protrusion formed on the inner side of the storage chamber 22, and a concave portion that engages with the protrusion can also be formed on the wireless earphone 100.

[0077] The storage compartment 2 may include a guide portion that tilts the wireless earphone 100 when it moves upward toward the opening 21 via the moving part 4. The guide portion may also be an inclined surface located near the opening 21 of the storage compartment 22. As the wireless earphone 100 moves upward, it passes through this inclined surface near the opening 21. Figure 6 It is tilted as shown in the lower right corner.

[0078] Therefore, when storing the wireless earphone 100 in the storage compartment 22, the storage unit 2 can be further miniaturized, and its storage posture can be set within the storage compartment 22. Furthermore, when retrieving it, the ease of retrieval for the user can be considered, and as described above, the posture can be adjusted by rotating or tilting the wireless earphone 100. That is, both the miniaturization of the storage unit 2 and the convenience of the user can be achieved.

[0079] In addition, Figure 6 For ease of understanding, only the operation of the right wireless earphone 100 is shown. The operation of the left wireless earphone 100 is roughly the same as that of the right wireless earphone 100, so it is omitted.

[0080] Several embodiments of the present invention have been described, but these embodiments are provided as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. These new embodiments can be implemented in various other ways, and various omissions, substitutions, and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. These embodiments and modifications are included within the scope and spirit of the invention, and are included within the scope of the invention as described in the claims and its equivalents.
