[0036] As shown in Figure 3 The present application provides a wireless earphone 1, which can include a first part 2, a connecting beam 3, and a second part 4. The connecting beam 3 is located between the first part 2 and the second part 4, and connects the first part 2 and the second part 4.
[0037] As shown in Figure 4 The wireless earphone 1 can be an ear clip earphone. The first part 2 is used to be inserted into the ear canal, and the second part 4 is used to contact the back of the ear. In this embodiment, the first part 2 and the second part 4 can be connected by the connecting beam 3. Figure 4 The internal structure of the first part 2 and the second part 4 after removing the shell is shown in
[0038] In this embodiment, the shape of the first part 2 can be designed as needed, for example, it can be roughly spherical. The first part 2 can include a shell, and functional devices such as a speaker and a noise reduction microphone installed in the shell.
[0039] In this embodiment, the connecting beam 3 can be a curved line to adapt to the shape of the ear. The connecting beam 3 can include a shell (or skin) and a structural member and a first transmission line installed in the shell. The structural member has a certain strength and rigidity, and can play a role in maintaining the shape of the connecting beam 3, connecting and supporting the first part 2 and the second part 4.

[0041] like Figure 7 As shown, schematically, the printed circuit board 41 can have an axisymmetric shape, for example, its shape can be roughly racetrack-shaped. In this embodiment, "symmetry" includes symmetry in a strict geometric sense, and may also include cases where there is a certain deviation from symmetry in a strict geometric sense.
[0042] Various components, circuits, and lines can be arranged on the printed circuit board 41, including but not limited to an application processor (AP), modem, RF module, switch, power management module / circuit, ground line, etc. In one embodiment, at least two of the application processor, modem, RF module, etc., can be integrated into a system-on-chip (SOC). In other embodiments, an SOC integration design may not be used, and each chip / component may be arranged separately on the printed circuit board 41.
[0043] The radio frequency (RF) module can modulate baseband signals into RF signals and transmit them through an antenna. The RF module can also receive RF signals through an antenna and demodulate them back into baseband signals. This embodiment does not limit the specific structure and configuration of the RF module.
[0044] The switch is used to electrically connect the first antenna 43, the second antenna 45, and the radio frequency (RF) module. The switch has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the switch electrically connects the first antenna 43 to the RF module and disconnects the second antenna 45 from the RF module. In the second state, the switch electrically connects the second antenna 45 to the RF module and disconnects the first antenna 43 from the RF module. Schematic, the switch may have a first terminal, a second terminal, and a third terminal. The first terminal is electrically connected to the RF module, the second terminal is electrically connected to the first antenna 43, and the third terminal is electrically connected to the second antenna 45. In the first state, the first and second terminals are connected, allowing the RF module to be electrically connected to the first antenna 43. In the second state, the first and third terminals are connected, allowing the RF module to be electrically connected to the second antenna 45. The switch includes, but is not limited to, a double-pole double-throw (DPDT) switch, a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switch, etc.
[0045] like Figures 5-7 As shown, battery 46 can be arranged close to and electrically connected to printed circuit board 41. Battery 46 serves as the power source for wireless earphone 1 and can be electrically connected to the power management module / circuit on printed circuit board 41.
[0046] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the first antenna 43 and the second antenna 45 can be arranged in a substantially axisymmetric manner. The first antenna 43 can have a structure designed as needed, for example, can include a substantially square-shaped main body, and a feed point 43a connected to a corner of the main body. An arc-shaped notch can be formed on the main body of the first antenna 43. The second antenna 45 can have a structure designed as needed, for example, can include a substantially square-shaped main body, and a feed point 45a connected to a corner of the main body. An arc-shaped notch can be formed on the main body of the second antenna 45. Illustratively, the first antenna 43 and the second antenna 45 can both be FPC (flexible printed circuit) antennas.
[0047] In combination Figure 6 With Figure 7 As shown, the feed point 43a of the first antenna 43 can be soldered to the printed circuit board 41, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the first antenna 43 and the switches and the radio frequency unit on the printed circuit board 41, and the radio frequency unit can feed the first antenna 43 through the feed point 43a. The feed point 45a of the second antenna 45 can be soldered to the printed circuit board 41, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the second antenna 45 and the switches and the radio frequency unit on the printed circuit board 41, and the radio frequency unit can feed the second antenna 45 through the feed point 45a. As Figure 5 And Figure 6 As shown, the first antenna 43 and the second antenna 45 can cover different areas of the top surface of the battery 46 respectively, and the first antenna 43 and the second antenna 45 can both maintain a certain gap with the battery 46.
[0048] As shown, the touch electrode 44 can be located between the first antenna 43 and the second antenna 45, and can be electrically connected to the printed circuit board 41. The touch electrode 44 is used to realize the touch function of the wireless earphone 1. Figure 5 Figure 6 As shown, the touch electrode 44 can be located between the first antenna 43 and the second antenna 45, and can be electrically connected to the printed circuit board 41. The touch electrode 44 is used to realize the touch function of the wireless earphone 1.
[0049] As shown, the flexible circuit board 42 can have a substantially axisymmetric structure, which can have a bending portion 42a, a connecting portion 42b and a bending portion 42c. In combination Figure 9 With Figure 9 As shown, the connecting portion 42b can be connected to the printed circuit board 41 (for example, connected through a connector), to realize the electrical connection between the flexible circuit board 42 and the printed circuit board 41. As Figure 7 And Figure 5 As shown, the flexible circuit board 42 can be located on one side of the battery 46 substantially, and can maintain a certain gap with the battery 46. Figure 6 As shown, the flexible circuit board 42 can have a substantially axisymmetric structure, which can have a bending portion 42a, a connecting portion 42b and a bending portion 42c. In combination
[0050] With Figure 6 As shown, the connecting portion 42b can be connected to the printed circuit board 41 (for example, connected through a connector), to realize the electrical connection between the flexible circuit board 42 and the printed circuit board 41. As Figure 7 As shown schematically, charging electrodes (or charging pins) 421 and 422 can also be arranged on the flexible circuit board 42. One of the charging electrodes 421 and 422 can be a positive electrode, and the other can be a negative electrode. In this embodiment, the flexible circuit board 42 can be used to transmit signals between the charging electrodes, touch electrodes 44, and other functional devices (including but not limited to the main microphone, sensors, etc.) and the printed circuit board 41.
[0051] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, both the second transmission line 47 and the third transmission line 48 can be located on the other side of the battery 46. One end of the second transmission line 47 and the third transmission line 48 can converge at one point and both are connected to the first transmission line 31. From this convergence point, the second transmission line 47 and the third transmission line 48 can extend in opposite directions. The second transmission line 47 and the third transmission line 48 can be approximately axially symmetrically distributed.
[0052] In one embodiment, the second transmission line 47 and the third transmission line 48 may be the same bundle of transmission lines, which are assembled together with the first transmission line 31. Alternatively, the second transmission line 47 and the third transmission line 48 may each be a separate bundle of transmission lines, each bundle of transmission lines being assembled together with the first transmission line 31. Alternatively, the first transmission line 31, the second transmission line 47, and the third transmission line 48 may be the same bundle of transmission lines, which are one path before the convergence point and split into two paths at the convergence point.
[0053] In this embodiment, both the second transmission line 47 and the third transmission line 48 can be electrically connected to the flexible circuit board 42. (Illustrative example follows.) Figure 7 As shown, the second transmission line 47 can be electrically connected to the bend 42c of the flexible circuit board 42, and the third transmission line 48 can be electrically connected to the bend 42a of the flexible circuit board 42. Through the flexible circuit board 42, the second transmission line 47 and the third transmission line 48 can be electrically connected to the printed circuit board 41. Through the first transmission line 31, the second transmission line 47, and the third transmission line 48, devices such as speakers and microphones in the first part 2 can be electrically connected to the printed circuit board 41 and battery 46 in the second part 4, thereby achieving power supply and signal transmission.
[0054] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the battery 46 can be considered to be located within the space enclosed by the printed circuit board 41, the first antenna 43, the second antenna 45, the flexible circuit board 42, the second transmission line 47, and the third transmission line 48. The first antenna 43, the second antenna 45, the flexible circuit board 42, the second transmission line 47, and the third transmission line 48 can respectively "envelop" the battery 46 from the top surface, one side, and the other side. This stacking design is relatively compact and can make full use of the structural space.
[0055] In this embodiment, the printed circuit board 41, the flexible circuit board 42, the second transmission line 47 and the third transmission line 48 can all serve as a ground structure (or ground) of the antenna system of the wireless earphone 1, or the ground structure of the antenna system can include the printed circuit board 41, the flexible circuit board 42, the second transmission line 47 and the third transmission line 48. The ground structure is electrically connected with the first antenna 43, the second antenna 45 and the radio frequency module, and serves as a flow path of ground current of the antenna system, which can ensure normal operation of the antenna system.
[0056] As shown in Figure 6 , a part of the printed circuit board 41 can be located on the upper side of the connecting beam 3, and another part can be located on the lower side of the connecting beam 3; a part of the flexible circuit board 42 can be located on the upper side of the connecting beam 3, and another part can be located on the lower side of the connecting beam 3; it can be considered that the second transmission line 47 is located on the lower side of the connecting beam 3, and the third transmission line 48 is located on the upper side of the connecting beam 3. Therefore, it can be considered that a part of the ground structure is located on the upper side of the connecting beam 3, and another part is located on the lower side of the connecting beam 3. In addition, the first antenna 43 is located on the upper side of the connecting beam 3, so the first antenna 43 and a part of the ground structure are both located on the upper side of the connecting beam 3; the second antenna 45 is located on the lower side of the connecting beam 3, so the second antenna 45 and another part of the ground structure are both located on the lower side of the connecting beam 3.
[0057] As shown in Figure 6 , the connecting beam 3 has a symmetry plane S, the first antenna 43 and the second antenna 45 are symmetrically distributed on opposite sides of the symmetry plane S, and the ground structure is also symmetric about the symmetry plane S. As described above, "symmetry" includes strict geometric symmetry, and can also include a certain deviation from strict geometric symmetry.
[0058] Figure 10 It represents the wearing state of the wireless earphone 1 in the left and right ears when viewed from behind the ear. The working principle and technical effects of the wireless earphone 1 will be described below in combination with Figure 10 .
[0059] As shown in Figure 10 , when the wireless earphone 1 is worn on the left ear, the connecting beam 3 faces left. Illustratively, the wireless earphone 1 can control the switch to be in the second state according to the wearing detection result, so as to electrically connect the second antenna 45 with the radio frequency module, so that the wireless earphone 1 communicates through the second antenna 45, wherein the first antenna 43 does not work.
[0060] As shown in Figure 10As shown, when the user takes the wireless earphone 1 off from the left ear and wears it on the right ear, it is equivalent to turning the wireless earphone 1 by 180° in the figure, and the connecting beam 3 is towards the right. At this time, the wireless earphone 1 can control the switch to switch from the second state to the first state according to the wearing detection result, so as to electrically connect the first antenna 43 with the radio frequency module, so that the wireless earphone 1 communicates through the first antenna 43, and the second antenna 45 does not work.
[0061] The left and right ears of the user are approximately axisymmetric. Referring to Figure 10 As shown, since the second antenna 45 and the first antenna 43 are symmetrically distributed, when the wireless earphone 1 is switched from the left ear to the right ear, the positions of the second antenna 45 and the feed point 45a relative to the left ear are basically the same as the positions of the first antenna 43 and the feed point 43a relative to the right ear. Since the positions of the antennas and the feed points relative to the ear, the positions of the ground structures and the ground currents relative to the ear do not change much when the wireless earphone 1 is switched between the left and right ears, the antenna performance of the wireless earphone 1 does not change much between the left and right ears, the antenna patterns are basically the same, and the S11 basically does not produce frequency deviation. Therefore, the antenna performance and the connection experience of the wireless earphone 1 of the embodiment are good.
[0062] The correspondence between the positions of the wireless earphone 1 and the working antennas described above is only an example. It can be understood that when the wireless earphone 1 is worn on the left ear, the first antenna 43 can also be controlled to work by the switch, and the second antenna 45 does not work; when the wireless earphone 1 is worn on the right ear, the second antenna 45 can also be switched to work by the switch, and the first antenna 43 does not work.
[0063] In the embodiment, the second antenna 45 and the first antenna 43 are axisymmetrically distributed, and the ground structure is an axisymmetric structure. These two designs do not need to exist at the same time, for example, only the design of the second antenna 45 and the first antenna 43 being axisymmetrically distributed, or only the design of the ground structure being an axisymmetric structure, so that the problem of inconsistent antenna performance can also be improved. As an example, the two designs can exist at the same time, which can greatly guarantee the antenna performance and the connection experience of the wireless earphone 1.
[0064] In the embodiment, the second antenna 45 and the first antenna 43 do not need to be strictly axisymmetrically distributed, and the ground structure does not need to be strictly an axisymmetric structure. As long as the second antenna 45 and the first antenna 43 are respectively located on opposite sides of the connecting beam 3, and the ground structure is distributed on opposite sides of the connecting beam 3, when the wireless earphone 1 is switched between the left and right ears, the positions of the working antennas relative to the ear change little, and the positions of the ground structures and the ground currents relative to the ear change little, so that the problem of inconsistent antenna performance can be improved.
[0065] The above merely provides the specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of the changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
