[0055] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0056] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "disposed," "arranged," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0057] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides a modular portable recording device, comprising: a first combined housing 1, a first main housing 101, a sheet-shaped extension end 102, a turning chute 103, a transition end 104, a reinforcing rib 105, a transition chute 106, a second combined housing 2, a top cover 3, and a bottom cover 4;

[0058] The first combined shell 1 includes a first main shell 101, a sheet-like extension end 102, a turning slot 103, a transition end 104, a reinforcing rib 105 and a transition slot 106. The sheet-like extension end 102 is arranged at one end of the first main shell 101, and the sheet-like extension end 102 is integrated with the first main shell 101. The sheet-like extension end 102 is an arc that fits the thumb. The turning slot 103 is opened at the connection between the sheet-like extension end 102 and the first main shell 101. The turning slot 103 is arranged at the other end of the first main shell 101. The reinforcing rib 105 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first main shell 101, and the transition slot 106 is opened on the inner wall of the transition end 104. The first combined shell 1 serves as the basic structure of the device. It is connected by multiple components such as the sheet-like extension end 102, the turning slot 103, the transition end 104, the reinforcing rib 105, etc. It provides a sturdy and stable shell that can protect internal electrical components and structures, while providing an adjustable and comfortable grip, such as the arc design of the thumb.

[0059] To achieve a balance between disassembly and integration of the entire device, the second integrated shell 2 is designed to match the appearance of the first integrated shell 1 and integrate with it. The second integrated shell 2 is slidably connected to the first integrated shell 1. The top cover 3 covers the top of the second integrated shell 2 and the first integrated shell 1, and the bottom cover 4 is plugged into the bottom of the second integrated shell 2 and the first integrated shell 1. The matching design of the second integrated shell 2 and the first integrated shell 1 allows for easy separation and reassembly through the sliding connection, allowing users to easily replace damaged internal components. The design of the connector 203 and the transition groove 106 makes the two shells very stable when connected, while also facilitating disassembly.

[0060] In order to realize the sliding splicing design of the second merged shell 2, it also includes: the second main shell 201 is located on one side of the first main shell 101, the clamping end 202 is correspondingly clamped with the transition end 104, the clamping end 202 is arranged at one end of the second main shell 201, and the plug-in component 203 is arranged on one side of the second main shell 201, and the interval between the plug-in component 203 and the clamping end 202 is provided with a clamping groove corresponding to the cross-section of the transition end 104, the clamping end 202 is slidingly plugged with the transition end 104, the transition slide 106 is slidingly plugged with the plug-in component 203, one end of the U-shaped sliding component 204 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second main shell 201, the U-shaped sliding component 204 is located in the extension direction of one side of the clamping end 202, the U-shaped sliding component 204 is slidingly connected with the notch of the turning slide 103, the overlapping extension end 205 is correspondingly fitted with the sheet-like extension end 102, and the overlapping extension end 205 is arranged at the other end of the second main shell 201.

[0061] In the present invention, the top cover 3 further includes: a top cover shell 301 having a U-shaped cross-section; a top cover socket 302 formed on the inner wall of the top cover shell 301; the inner wall of the top cover socket 302 being in contact with the combined end of the first and second combined shells 1 and 2; a filler 303 disposed on the inner wall of the top cover socket 302; the outer shape of the filler 303 coinciding with the gap between the U-shaped sliding member 204 and the turning chute 103 and being inserted into the gap; and a USB port 304 disposed on the inner wall of the top cover shell 301. The combination of the U-shaped shell and the top cover socket 302 enables the device to perform various functions in a compact structure, while the design of the filler 303 effectively reduces damage to the internal components of the device from vibration or external influences.

[0062] In the present invention, the bottom cover 4 also includes: a bottom shell 401 located at the bottom of the second combined shell 2 and the first combined shell 1; a plug-in shell 402 fixedly connected to the top surface of the bottom shell 401; a first tie-in slot 403 defined in the plug-in shell 402; and fixed plugs 404 disposed on the top of the plug-in shell 402, with the fixed plugs 404 located on either side of the first tie-in slot 403. The design of the plug-in shell 402 and the tie-in slots provides a quick and secure way to disassemble and disassemble the bottom cover 4, while ensuring the secure retention of internal components. If the device is damaged, the user can easily replace damaged components, such as the on / off switch.

[0063] In the present invention, a second slot 5 is defined at the bottom of the first main housing 101. The second slot 5 and the first slot 403 can be combined. Fixed sockets 6 are defined on either side of the second slot 5 and engage with fixed inserts 404. The switch key 7 is positioned within the combined slot. The bottom cover 4 cooperates with the second slot 5 to secure the switch key, preventing it from falling out. Conversely, if either slot is moved away from the key, the switch key can be removed.

[0064] The curved beam 8 is movably mounted on the outside of the first main shell 101 via the damping shaft 9; the damping shaft 9 is plugged into the outside of the first main shell 101, the annular opening 10 is opened in the first main shell 101, the positioning buckle 11 is mounted on one side of the damping shaft 9, and the positioning buckle 11 is plugged into the annular opening 10; the positioning buckle 11 is in the shape of a hook, and the microphone 12 is plugged into the USB interface 304; the curved beam 8 and the positioning buckle 11 are both made of elastic plastic. The design of the curved beam 8 and the damping shaft 9 allows the device to be clamped on the collar for use, and the angle can be adjusted through the damping shaft 9 to provide a more flexible operating experience. The design of the curved beam 8 uses an elastic plastic material, which means that it has enough strength to withstand daily use while also providing a comfortable touch.

[0065] The core of this modular design lies in the device's disassembly and repairability, allowing users to easily replace damaged components, reducing equipment costs and environmental impact. This design extends the device's lifecycle and avoids the need to replace the entire device due to a small component failure.

[0066] It should be noted that the modular portable recording device designed by the present invention can be used to adjust the angle of the curved beam 8 by the rotating shaft, and the curved beam 8 can be clamped on the collar for use, and can be pinched with the thumb. Once the electrical components inside the recording device, or other parts such as the curved beam 8 and the switch key 7, are worn out, the top cover 3 and the bottom cover 4 can be manually unplugged. After the bottom cover 4 is unplugged, the switch key 7 will fall out without the complete constraint of the bundle slot, and the switch key can be replaced. After that, manually push either the second combined shell 2 or the first combined shell 1. Taking the second combined shell 2 as an example, when pushing, the connector 203 and the U-shaped sliding member 204 on the second combined shell 2 are in the transition groove 106 and the turning groove 103 of the first combined shell 1. By sliding in the slot of the housing, the two housings can be slid apart, accessing the internal structure for easy replacement. For example, when replacing the damping shaft 9, after removing the housing, press the hook end of the positioning clip 11 to narrow its cross-sectional width, so that it can pass through the annular opening 10 and then remove the damping shaft 9. When installing, just align the damping shaft 9 with the annular opening 10 and press the positioning clip 11. The hook shape and elastic material will allow the damping shaft 9 to pass through the annular opening 10. If the hook is pulled out violently, it will hook the housing, preventing the shaft from falling off. The entire process does not require any tools or screw thread connections.

[0067] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
