Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of headphone storage technology, and particularly to a headphone storage structure and a laptop computer. Background Technology

[0002] With societal development, the popularity of headphones and laptops has significantly increased compared to the past. However, since most existing headphone storage solutions are separate, most people often need to carry their headphones and laptops separately when traveling. For users, this separate carrying method creates a timeliness issue when they need to use both headphones and a laptop simultaneously; they cannot use both devices at the same time immediately. This separate headphone storage solution, to some extent, reduces the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide an earphone storage structure that enhances the compatibility between the earphone storage structure and laptops, allowing users to store earphones and laptops together and carry them as a whole, thereby improving the user experience.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes an earphone storage structure for storing earphones and fixing them to a laptop computer, characterized in that the earphone storage structure comprises:

[0005] The mounting base has a receiving cavity inside, the top of the receiving cavity has a receiving opening, and a rotating shaft is provided inside the receiving cavity, the rotating shaft extending along the width direction of the mounting base;

[0006] An earphone stand is provided for mounting the earphones. The earphone stand is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft to have a retracted position and an exposed position. In the retracted position, the earphones are located inside the receiving cavity, and in the exposed position, the earphones are located outside the receiving cavity.

[0007] A driving component is provided for driving the earphone bracket to switch between a retracted position and an exposed position. The driving component includes a positioning part having a first position and a second position. When the positioning part is located in the first position, the earphone bracket is in the retracted position, and when the positioning part is located in the second position, the earphone bracket is in the exposed position.

[0008] A conductive terminal is located on the mounting base and is used to charge the earphone. When the earphone stand with the earphone is in the storage position, the conductive terminal is electrically connected to the charging port of the earphone.

[0009] Optionally, there are two of each of the headphone bracket and the rotating shaft. The driving component also includes a pressing plate. The positioning part is fixedly connected to the surface of the pressing plate. The two rotating shafts and the headphone brackets connected to them are located on opposite sides of the pressing plate.

[0010] Optionally, the driving component further includes a first reset spring, one end of which is fixedly connected to the mounting base, and the other end of which is away from the mounting base is connected to the pressing plate.

[0011] Optionally, a reset torsion spring is sleeved on the outer side of the rotating shaft. One end of the reset torsion spring is connected to the mounting base, and the other end away from the mounting base is connected to the earphone bracket. Under the action of the reset torsion spring, the earphone bracket always tends to remain in the exposed position.

[0012] Optionally, the headphone storage structure further includes a drive channel and two drive rods located within the drive channel. The pressing plate presses against one end of the two drive rods near the pressing plate. The pressing plate can drive the two drive rods to move within the drive channel. The drive rods can drive the headphone bracket to switch between the stored position and the exposed position.

[0013] Optionally, the drive rod is provided with a limiting plate, and the earphone bracket is provided with a limiting groove. When the positioning part is in the first position, the limiting plate is locked in the limiting groove, and the earphone bracket is in the storage position. When the positioning part is in the second position, the limiting plate is disengaged from the limiting groove, and the earphone bracket is in the exposed position.

[0014] Optionally, the pressing plate abuts against the two driving rods via an inclined surface, and when the pressing plate moves downward, the two driving rods move towards each other.

[0015] Optionally, the headphone storage structure further includes a second return spring, one end of which is fixedly connected to the mounting base and the other end abuts against the drive rod, so that the limiting plate on the drive rod tends to remain on the movement path of the headphone bracket.

[0016] Optionally, there are two of each of the headphone bracket and the rotating shaft. The driving component also includes a pressing plate. The positioning part is fixedly connected to the surface of the pressing plate. The receiving cavity is provided with a bracket connector. The bracket connector includes a cover plate and two rotating sleeves fixedly connected to opposite sides of the cover plate. The two rotating shafts and the headphone brackets connected to them are respectively located on opposite sides of the cover plate. The two rotating sleeves are rotatably fitted onto the two rotating shafts in a one-to-one correspondence, so that both the rotating sleeves and the headphone brackets can rotate relative to the rotating shafts. The pressing plate abuts against the top of the cover plate, and the cover plate is provided with a first clearance opening for the positioning part to pass through.

[0017] Optionally, the bottom of the receiving cavity is provided with a guide groove adapted to the positioning part. The positioning part passes through the guide groove. When the pressing plate moves relative to the receiving cavity, the positioning part moves in the guide groove. The positioning part is provided with a limiting buckle. The guide groove is provided with a limiting slot corresponding to the limiting buckle. The limiting buckle passes through the limiting slot, so that when the positioning part has a tendency to move away from the guide groove, the limiting buckle will abut against the groove wall of the limiting slot.

[0018] Optionally, the bottom wall of the guide groove is provided with a third return spring, the side of the third return spring away from the bottom wall of the guide groove abutting against the bottom surface of the positioning part, so that the earphone bracket has a tendency to return to the storage position.

[0019] Optionally, the driving component further includes a positioning linkage for maintaining the earphone bracket in the storage position. The positioning linkage includes a connecting rod and a positioning rod. One end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to one end of the positioning rod. A connecting groove is provided between the pressing plate and the positioning part for the connecting rod to pass through and connect. The bottom surface of the positioning part is provided with a second clearance opening that connects the connecting groove and the guide groove, so that the third return spring can abut against the side of the connecting rod near the third return spring.

[0020] Optionally, the top of the connecting groove is arc-shaped, and one end of the positioning rod near the top of the groove is arc-shaped corresponding to the top of the groove, so that the positioning rod can rotate relative to the top of the groove. The other end of the positioning rod is provided with a limiting protrusion, which extends toward the side away from the connecting rod.

[0021] Optionally, the positioning part is further provided with a first clearance groove, and the positioning rod is located between the bottom wall of the first clearance groove and the top of the connecting groove.

[0022] Optionally, a limiting groove is provided on the groove wall of the guide groove near the limiting protrusion. The limiting groove is formed by the clamping of a first limiting block and a second limiting block. The limiting groove opens toward the bottom of the guide groove for the limiting protrusion to engage.

[0023] Optionally, the top of the groove is provided with a driving protrusion, and a second clearance groove is formed next to the driving protrusion. The connecting rod is formed with a stepped surface corresponding to the driving protrusion and a positioning protrusion located on one side of the stepped surface and movably disposed in the second clearance groove.

[0024] When the positioning part is in the first position, the lower end face of the driving protrusion is in contact with the step surface; when the positioning part moves from the first position to the second position, the connecting rod is subjected to pressure from the driving protrusion on the step surface, causing the step surface to tilt and the connecting rod to rotate, thereby causing the positioning rod to swing, so that the limiting protrusion is always pressed against the side of the first limiting block away from the second limiting block; when the positioning part moves from the second position to the first position, the connecting rod is subjected to a thrust from the third return spring, causing the step surface to tend to return to being in contact with the lower end face of the driving protrusion, thereby causing the connecting rod to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby causing the positioning rod to swing in the opposite direction, so that the limiting protrusion is always pressed against the side of the second limiting block away from the first limiting block.

[0025] Optionally, the positioning part is provided with a magnet, and two first magnetic strips and second magnetic strips of different heights are installed on the side wall of the receiving cavity. The first magnetic strip is located on the side of the second magnetic strip near the outlet of the receiving cavity. The extending directions of the two magnetic strips are parallel to the extending direction of the pressing plate, and the positioning part can be fixed by the magnetic attraction between the magnetic strips and the magnet. When the magnet is fixed by generating a magnetic attraction with the first magnetic strip, the positioning part is located in a first position; when the magnet is fixed by generating a magnetic attraction with the second magnetic strip, the positioning part is located in a second position.

[0026] The present invention also proposes a laptop computer, including

[0027] Headphone storage structure;

[0028] The earphones are attached to the earphone holder.

[0029] The equipment body has a mounting groove, and the mounting base is fixed to the equipment body by being fixed in the mounting groove.

[0030] The mounting base in this invention features a cavity for storing earphones. An earphone bracket is housed within this cavity for attaching the earphones. The earphone bracket is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft within the cavity, allowing it to rotate both inside and outside the cavity. This ensures that the earphones attached to the bracket can be positioned either in a stored position within the cavity or an exposed position outside. Notably, in this invention, the user switches the earphone bracket between the stored and exposed positions by operating a driving mechanism. This avoids the user manually removing and storing the earphones from the cavity. Instead, the driving mechanism activates the earphone bracket, which then removes and stores the earphones. This reduces wear and tear on the earphone storage structure and the earphones themselves due to improper or forceful operation during storage and retrieval, thereby extending the lifespan of the earphone cavity and its related electronic components. Furthermore, the user only needs to switch the positioning part of the driving mechanism between two positions, reducing the user's workload and improving ease of use.

[0031] Understandably, in this technical solution, the conductive terminals allow the earphones to charge automatically when they are in the storage position, ensuring that they are charging even when the user is not using them, thus preventing the earphones from running out of power when the user wants to use them and improving user convenience.

[0032] It is important to note that in this technical solution, the headphone storage structure is fixed to the laptop, meaning the headphone storage structure and the laptop can exist as a single unit. In this embodiment, the laptop has a mounting slot for the mounting base of the headphone storage structure to be fitted and installed. When the headphone stand is in the storage position, the headphones inside the headphone stand can be fixed to the laptop. Accordingly, the headphones and the laptop can be carried by the user as a single unit. The headphone storage structure designed in this technical solution enhances the compatibility between the headphone storage structure and the laptop, allowing users to place the headphones and laptop together and carry them as a single unit, and to use the laptop and headphones simultaneously at any time, thus improving the user experience.

Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the meaning of "and / or" throughout the text includes three parallel solutions; for example, "A and / or B" includes solution A, solution B, or a solution where both A and B are satisfied simultaneously. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0059] like Figures 1 to 17 As shown:

[0060] This invention proposes an earphone storage structure.

[0061] In this embodiment of the invention, the earphone storage structure includes:

[0062] Mounting base 100, the mounting base 100 is provided with a receiving cavity 110, the top of the receiving cavity 110 is provided with a receiving opening, the receiving cavity 110 is provided with a rotating shaft 111, the rotating shaft 111 extends along the width direction of the mounting base 100;

[0063] The headphone bracket 200 is used for mounting the headphones. The headphone bracket 200 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 111 to have a storage position and an exposed position. In the storage position, the headphones are located inside the receiving cavity 110, and in the exposed position, the headphones are located outside the receiving cavity 110.

[0064] A driving member 300 is used to drive the earphone bracket 200 to switch between the retracted position and the exposed position. The driving member 300 includes a positioning part 310, which has a first position and a second position. When the positioning part 310 is located in the first position, the earphone bracket 200 is in the retracted position. When the positioning part 310 is located in the second position, the earphone bracket 200 is in the exposed position.

[0065] A conductive terminal 120 is located on the mounting base 100 and is used to charge the earphone. When the earphone stand 200 with the earphone is in the storage position, the conductive terminal 120 is electrically connected to the charging port of the earphone.

[0066] The mounting base 100 in this invention has a receiving cavity 110 for storing headphones. An headphone bracket 200 is provided within the receiving cavity 110 for mounting the headphones. The headphone bracket 200 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 111 within the receiving cavity 110, allowing the headphone bracket 200 to rotate both inside and outside the receiving cavity 110. This ensures that the headphones mounted on the headphone bracket 200 can be positioned either in a stored position within the cavity or an exposed position outside the cavity. It is important to note that in this invention, the user switches the headphone bracket 200 between the stored and exposed positions by operating a driving component 300. This avoids the user manually removing and storing the headphones within the receiving cavity 110. Instead, the driving component 300 drives the headphone bracket 200, which then removes and stores the headphones. This reduces wear and tear on the headphone storage structure and the headphones themselves caused by improper or forceful operation during storage and retrieval, thereby correspondingly improving the lifespan of the headphone receiving cavity 110 and its related electronic components. Furthermore, when operating the drive unit 300, the user only needs to switch the positioning part 310 in the drive unit 300 between the first position and the second position, which reduces the user's operation process and burden and improves the convenience of operation.

[0067] Understandably, in this technical solution, the conductive terminal 120 allows the earphones to automatically charge when they are in the storage position, so that the earphones are in a charging state when the user is not using them, i.e. when they are in the storage position, thus avoiding the situation where the earphones are out of power when the user wants to use them and improving the user's convenience.

[0068] It is important to note that in this technical solution, the headphone storage structure is fixed to the laptop, meaning the headphone storage structure and the laptop can exist as a single unit. In this embodiment, the laptop has a mounting slot for the mounting base 100 in the headphone storage structure to be fitted and installed. When the headphone stand 200 is in the storage position, the headphones located within the headphone stand 200 can be fixed to the laptop. Accordingly, the headphones and the laptop can be carried as a single unit by the user. The headphone storage structure designed in this technical solution enhances the compatibility between the headphone storage structure and the laptop, allowing users to place the headphones and laptop together and carry them as a single unit, and to use the laptop and headphones simultaneously at any time, thus improving the user experience.

[0069] Furthermore, there are two earphone brackets 200 and two rotating shafts 111. The driving component 300 also includes a pressing plate 320. The positioning part 310 is fixedly connected to the surface of the pressing plate 320. The two rotating shafts 111 and the earphone brackets 200 connected to them are located on opposite sides of the pressing plate 320. In this embodiment, there are two earphone brackets 200, and correspondingly, there are also two rotating shafts 111. The two earphone brackets 200 are set to accommodate the left and right earphones respectively, and the earphone brackets 200 are located on opposite sides, so that the earphone brackets 200 can extend in one direction, reducing the width of the earphone storage structure and better adapting to the limited space of the laptop. The driving component 300 includes the pressing plate 320, which serves as the power source for the driving component 300. Of course, in other embodiments, a servo motor can also be used as the power source for the driving component 300.

[0070] Reference Figures 15 to 17 In some embodiments, the drive component 300 further includes a first return spring 900, one end of which is fixedly connected to the mounting base 100, and the other end of which is connected to the pressing plate 320 away from the mounting base 100. In this embodiment, the first return spring 900 allows the pressing plate 320 to return to its original position after one pressing operation, thus making it more convenient for the user to perform subsequent pressing operations.

[0071] Furthermore, a return torsion spring 910 is sleeved on the outer side of the rotating shaft 111. One end of the return torsion spring 910 is connected to the mounting base 100, and the other end away from the mounting base 100 is connected to the earphone bracket 200. Under the action of the return torsion spring 910, the earphone bracket 200 always tends to remain in the exposed position. In this embodiment, the return torsion spring 910 sleeved on the outer side of the rotating shaft 111 provides a force that keeps the earphone bracket 200 in the exposed position, making it more convenient for the user to retrieve the earphones located in the earphone storage structure.

[0072] Furthermore, the headphone storage structure also includes a drive channel 960 and two drive rods 930 located within the drive channel 960. The pressing plate 320 presses against one end of the two drive rods 930 near the pressing plate 320. The pressing plate 320 can drive the two drive rods 930 to move within the drive channel 960, and the drive rods 930 can drive the headphone bracket 200 to switch between the stored position and the exposed position. In this embodiment, the pressing plate 320 controls the movement of the drive rods 930 within the drive channel 960, thereby allowing the headphone bracket 200 to switch positions accordingly. It should be noted that the drive rods 930 are designed so that the user can transmit the force applied to the pressing plate 320 to the end of the drive rods 930. It can be understood that there is a transmission structure between the end of the drive rods 930 and the headphone bracket 200. This transmission structure allows the user to directly control the headphone bracket 200 to switch between the exposed position and the stored position through the pressing plate 320. Of course, in other embodiments, the pressing plate 320 can also release a pressure signal to the main control board, and the main control board can send a corresponding position switching signal to the headphone bracket 200 to complete the position switching.

[0073] Furthermore, the drive rod 930 is provided with a limiting plate 931, and the earphone bracket 200 is provided with a limiting groove 940. When the positioning part 310 is in the first position, the limiting plate 931 is locked in the limiting groove 940, and the earphone bracket 200 is in the retracted position. When the positioning part 310 is in the second position, the limiting plate 931 disengages from the limiting groove 940, and the earphone bracket 200 is in the exposed position. In this embodiment, when the earphone bracket 200 is in the retracted position, the earphone bracket 200 is locked with the limiting plate 931 on the drive rod 930 through the limiting groove 940. When the earphone bracket 200 changes from the retracted position to the exposed position, the limiting plate 931 on the drive rod 930 disengages from the limiting groove 940, and correspondingly, the earphone bracket 200 moves to the exposed position under the action of the return torsion spring.

[0074] Furthermore, the pressing plate 320 abuts against the two driving rods 930 via an inclined surface 950. When the pressing plate 320 moves downward, the two driving rods 930 move towards each other. In this embodiment, the end of the driving rod 930 near the pressing plate 320 is provided with a first inclined protrusion, and the surface of the pressing plate 320 facing the driving rod 930 is provided with a second inclined protrusion adapted to the first inclined protrusion. The inclined surface of the first inclined protrusion always abuts against the inclined surface of the second inclined protrusion. Understandably, the pressure applied by the user to the pressing plate 320 is transmitted to the second inclined protrusion through the first inclined protrusion, and the second inclined protrusion then transmits the force to the driving rod 930, ultimately achieving the opposite movement of the two driving rods 930. It should be noted that in this embodiment, there are two driving rods, and the pressing plate 320 is provided with two corresponding second inclined protrusions.

[0075] Furthermore, the headphone storage structure also includes a second return spring 920. One end of the second return spring 920 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 100, and the other end abuts against the drive rod 930, so that the limiting plate 931 on the drive rod 930 tends to remain on the movement path of the headphone bracket 200. In this embodiment, the mounting base 100 is provided with a second return spring 920. It can be understood that the second return spring 920 makes the drive rod 930 always tend to remain on the movement path of the headphone bracket 200, that is, the limiting plate 931 tends to remain within the limiting groove 940 when the headphone bracket 200 is in the storage position. The setting of the second return spring 920 allows the headphone bracket 200 to be stably in the storage position.

[0076] Reference Figures 1 to 11 In some embodiments, the receiving cavity 110 is provided with a bracket connector 400. The bracket connector 400 includes a cover plate 410 and two rotating sleeves 420 fixedly connected to opposite sides of the cover plate 410. The two rotating sleeves 420 are rotatably sleeved on the two rotating shafts 111 in a one-to-one correspondence, so that the rotating sleeves 420 and the earphone bracket 200 can rotate relative to the rotating shafts 111. The pressing plate 320 presses against the top of the cover plate 410, and the cover plate 410 is provided with a first clearance opening for the positioning part 310 to pass through.

[0077] Understandably, in this embodiment, the bracket connector 400 is rotatably connected to two rotating shafts 111, and these two rotating shafts 111 can move up and down with the bracket connector 400. As the cover plate 410 of the bracket connector 400 moves downward under the action of the pressing plate 320, the rotating sleeves 420 and rotating shafts 111 located on both sides of the bracket connector 400 also move downward. Since the earphone bracket 200 is rotatably connected to the rotating shafts 111, one end of the earphone bracket 200 connected to the rotating shafts 111 moves downward accordingly, and the earphone bracket 200 rotates accordingly, thereby achieving the effect of moving the earphone bracket 200 from the storage position to the exposed position. The user can switch the two earphone brackets 200 between the first position and the second position by pressing the pressing plate 320. It should be noted that the cover plate 410 is provided with a first clearance opening for the positioning part 310 to pass through, so that the pressing plate 320 of the driving member 300 can directly contact and press against the cover plate 410 of the bracket connector 400.

[0078] Furthermore, the bottom of the receiving cavity 110 is provided with a guide groove 500 that is adapted to the positioning part 310. The positioning part 310 passes through the guide groove 500. When the pressing plate 320 moves relative to the receiving cavity 110, the positioning part 310 moves within the guide groove 500. The positioning part 310 is provided with a limiting buckle 311. The guide groove 500 is provided with a limiting slot 510 corresponding to the limiting buckle 311. The limiting buckle 311 passes through the limiting slot 510, so that when the positioning part 310 has a tendency to move away from the guide groove 500, the limiting buckle 311 will abut against the groove wall of the limiting slot 510.

[0079] In this embodiment, the bottom of the receiving cavity 110 is provided with a guide groove 500 for the positioning part 310 to be fitted and installed. This ensures that when the driving member 300 drives the headphone bracket 200, the positioning part 310 of the driving member 300 is always located within the guide groove 500. The guide groove 500 provides guidance and limitation for the positioning part 310, making the movement of the driving member 300 within the receiving cavity 110 stable. This allows the driving member 300 to accurately drive the headphone bracket 200 to switch between the retracted position and the exposed position. It should be noted that the limiting buckle 311 on the positioning part 310 will engage with the limiting slot 510 within the guide groove 500 when the positioning part 310 is about to disengage from the guide groove 500. This ensures that the positioning part 310 remains within the guide groove 500 regardless of whether it moves or not, preventing the driving member 300 from detaching from the mounting base 100. Consequently, this reduces the likelihood of the headphone storage structure losing its function due to the loss of the driving member 300.

[0080] Furthermore, a third return spring 520 is provided on the bottom wall of the guide groove 500. The side of the third return spring 520 away from the bottom wall of the guide groove 500 abuts against the bottom surface of the positioning part 310, so that the earphone bracket 200 tends to return to the storage position. In this embodiment, the bottom wall of the guide groove 500 is provided with a third return spring 520, and the third return spring 520 presses against the bottom surface of the positioning part 310, so that after the user removes the earphones from the earphone bracket 200, the positioning part 310 in the drive member 300 can automatically return to the first position. Of course, in other embodiments, the reset can also be achieved by a servo motor driving the movement of the positioning part 310.

[0081] Furthermore, the driving component 300 also includes a positioning linkage 600, which is used to maintain the earphone bracket 200 in the storage position. The positioning linkage 600 includes a connecting rod 610 and a positioning rod 620. One end of the connecting rod 610 is fixedly connected to one end of the positioning rod 620. A connecting groove 330 is provided between the pressing plate 320 and the positioning part 310 for the connecting rod 610 to pass through and connect. The bottom surface of the positioning part 310 is provided with a second clearance opening 340 that connects the connecting groove 330 and the guide groove 500, so that the third return spring 520 can abut against the side of the connecting rod 610 near the third return spring 520.

[0082] In this embodiment, the positioning linkage 600 includes a connecting rod 610 and a positioning rod 620. The connecting groove 330 contains the connecting rod 610, and the connecting rod 610 and the positioning rod 620 are fixedly connected at their ends, so that the positioning linkage 600 can move with the movement of the driving member 300. The driving member 300 is also restricted by the positioning linkage 600. It can be understood that when the headphone bracket 200 is in the storage position, the position of the positioning linkage 600 remains unchanged, thereby keeping the position of the driving member 300 unchanged, so as to maintain the position of the headphone bracket 200 unchanged and enabling it to be continuously and stably located in the storage position. It should be noted that the setting of the second clearance opening 340 allows the third return spring 520 to directly abut against the connecting rod 610 of the positioning linkage 600. When the headphone bracket 200 needs to return to the storage position, the third return spring 520 applies a pushing force to the connecting rod 610, forcing the position of the positioning linkage 600 to change, thereby causing the driving component 300 to move and the headphone bracket 200 to return to the storage position.

[0083] Furthermore, the top of the connecting groove 330 is arc-shaped, and one end of the positioning rod 620 near the top of the groove is also arc-shaped, allowing the positioning rod 620 to rotate relative to the top of the groove. The other end of the positioning rod 620 has a limiting protrusion 621 extending away from the connecting rod 610. The positioning rod 620 is located between the connecting groove 330 and the limiting protrusion 621. In this embodiment, the top of the connecting groove 330 and the end of the positioning rod 620 near the top of the groove are arc-shaped, allowing the positioning rod 620 to rotate relative to the top of the groove. Correspondingly, the limiting protrusion 621 at the other end of the positioning rod 620 can also rotate with the rotation of the positioning rod 620. It can be understood that the positioning linkage 600 maintains its position through the cooperation of the limiting protrusion 621 with the outside.

[0084] Furthermore, the positioning part 310 is also provided with a first clearance groove 312, and the positioning rod 620 is located between the bottom wall of the first clearance groove 312 and the top of the connecting groove 330. In this embodiment, the positioning rod 620 in the positioning linkage 600 is located between the bottom wall of the first clearance groove 312 and the top of the connecting groove 330, so that the arc-shaped end of the positioning rod 620 will not detach from the connecting groove 330 and will always fit against the connecting groove 330. Of course, in other embodiments, the positioning rod 620 and the connecting groove 330 can also be magnetically connected to achieve the effect of the arc-shaped end of the positioning rod 620 not detaching from the connecting groove 330.

[0085] Furthermore, a limiting groove 530 is provided on the groove wall of the guide groove 500 near the limiting protrusion 621. The limiting groove 530 is formed by the clamping of the first limiting block 531 and the second limiting block 532. The limiting groove 530 opens towards the bottom of the guide groove 500 for the limiting protrusion 621 to engage. In this embodiment, when the positioning part 310 is in the second position, the limiting protrusion 621 on the positioning linkage 600 engages in the limiting groove 530. Under the action of the third return spring 520, the position of the connecting rod 610 remains unchanged, and the limiting protrusion 621 on the positioning rod 620 is continuously and stably fixed in the limiting groove 530. This ensures that the position of the positioning linkage 600 remains unchanged. Correspondingly, the position of the earphone bracket 200 is also kept in the exposed position, making it convenient for the user to remove the earphone from the earphone bracket 200.

[0086] Furthermore, the top of the connecting groove 330 is provided with a driving protrusion 700, and a second clearance groove 710 is formed next to the driving protrusion 700. The connecting rod 610 is provided with a stepped surface 611 corresponding to the driving protrusion 700, and a positioning protrusion 612 located on one side of the stepped surface 611 and movably disposed in the second clearance groove 710.

[0087] When the positioning part 310 is in the first position, the lower end face of the driving protrusion 700 is in contact with the step surface 611. When the positioning part 310 moves from the first position to the second position, the connecting rod 610 is subjected to pressure from the driving protrusion 700 on the step surface 611, causing the step surface 611 to tilt and the connecting rod 610 to rotate, thereby causing the positioning rod 620 to swing, so that the limiting protrusion 621 is always pressed against the side of the first limiting block 531 away from the second limiting block 532. When the positioning part 310 moves from the second position to the first position, the connecting rod 610 is subjected to a thrust from the third return spring 520, causing the step surface 611 to tend to return to being in contact with the lower end face of the driving protrusion 700, thereby causing the connecting rod 610 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby causing the positioning rod 620 to swing in the opposite direction, so that the limiting protrusion 621 is always pressed against the side of the second limiting block 532 away from the first limiting block 531.

[0088] In this embodiment, the top of the connecting groove 330 is provided with a driving protrusion 700 facing the connecting rod 610, and a second clearance groove 710 is provided next to the driving protrusion 700. The connecting rod 610 is provided with a stepped surface 611 for the driving protrusion 700 to press against it, and thus serves as the power source for the rotation of the positioning linkage 600. The second clearance groove 710 in this technical solution is used to accommodate the positioning protrusion 612. It can be understood that when the stepped surface 611 is subjected to pressure from the driving protrusion 700, the positioning protrusion 612 enters the second clearance groove 710, and correspondingly, the positioning rod 620 rotates.

[0089] The user's procedure for removing the earphones is as follows: the earphone stand 200 is in the storage position, and the corresponding positioning part 310 is in the first position. The lower end face of the driving protrusion 700 is in contact with the stepped surface 611. The limiting protrusion 621 is located on one side of the limiting groove 530. After the pressing plate 320 is pressed by the user, it moves downward. The lower end face of the driving protrusion 700 will exert a downward pushing force on the stepped surface 611. Since there is a second clearance groove 710 adjacent to the driving protrusion 700, the positioning protrusion 612, which is located in the same part as the stepped surface 611 but on a different side, will move downward with the stepped surface 611. As the 11 descends, it rises and enters the interior of the second clearance groove 710. The positioning rod 620 also rotates under the rotation of the step surface 611. Correspondingly, the limiting protrusion 621 will always press against the outside of the first limiting block 531 and move downward together with the pressing plate 320. When the height of the limiting protrusion 621 is lower than the first limiting block 531, the limiting protrusion 621 enters the limiting groove 530 under the action of the positioning linkage 600 and is stabilized in the limiting groove 530 under the action of the third return spring 520, so that the headphone bracket 200 continues to be maintained in the exposed position.

[0090] The user's operation process for storing the headphones is as follows: The headphone stand 200 is in the exposed position, and the corresponding positioning part 310 is in the second position. The lower end face of the driving protrusion 700 presses against the stepped surface 611, and the positioning protrusion 612 is located in the second clearance groove 710. The user applies pressure to the pressing plate 320, so that the height of the limiting protrusion 621 is lower than the second limiting block 532. At this time, the user stops releasing the pressure, and the connecting rod 610 is pushed by the third return spring 520. The positioning protrusion 612 moves from inside the second clearance groove 710 to the direction of disengaging from the second clearance groove 710. Under the action of the pushing force, the stepped surface 611 drives the driving protrusion 700 to rise, and the positioning rod 620 rotates in the opposite direction, always pressing against the outside of the second limiting block 532. Finally, under the action of the third return spring 520, the positioning part 310 returns to the first position, and the headphone stand 200 also returns to the storage position. Figure 9 The process of the positioning part 310 returning to the first position is achieved by the third reset spring 520.

[0091] Reference Figures 12 to 14 In some embodiments, the positioning part 310 is provided with a magnet 800, and two first magnetic strips 810 and second magnetic strips 820 of different heights are installed on the side wall of the receiving cavity 110. The first magnetic strip 810 is located on the side of the second magnetic strip 820 near the outlet of the receiving cavity 110. The extending directions of the two magnetic strips are parallel to the extending direction of the pressing plate 320, and the positioning part 310 can be fixed by the magnetic attraction between the magnetic strips and the magnet 800. When the magnet 800 is fixed by generating a magnetic attraction with the first magnetic strip 810, the positioning part 310 is located in a first position; when the magnet 800 is fixed by generating a magnetic attraction with the second magnetic strip 820, the positioning part 310 is located in a second position. In this embodiment, the first magnetic strip 810 on the side wall of the receiving cavity 110 is located above the second magnetic strip 820. The first magnetic strip 810 and the second magnetic strip 820 can respectively generate magnetic attraction with the magnet 800 in the positioning part 310, so that the positioning part 310 can be attracted to the first magnetic strip 810 and the second magnetic strip 820. When the driving member 300 transports the positioning part 310 to the attraction position of the first magnetic strip 810, the positioning part 310 is in the first position, and the corresponding headphone bracket 200 is in the storage position; when the driving member 300 transports the positioning part 310 to the attraction position of the second magnetic strip 820, the positioning part 310 is in the second position, and the corresponding headphone bracket 200 is in the exposed position. It should be noted that the setting of the magnet 800 and the magnetic strip reduces the resistance of the headphone bracket 200 when switching between the two positions, making it easier for the user to operate the driving member 300, and also helps to save costs.

[0092] In this embodiment, a connecting rod is provided between the two headphone stands 200, which allows the two headphone stands to move together, that is, to switch between the retracted position and the exposed position at the same time, which improves the ease of operation of the headphone stands for the user and increases efficiency accordingly.
