Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of headphone technology, specifically relating to an earphone case. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, the headphone case includes a case body and a lid. The case body holds the headphone, and the lid is connected to the case body via a hinge. The lid opens or closes the case by flipping it open. The case body is equipped with magnets. When the user does not need to remove the headphone, the magnets exert an attractive force on the lid, thus keeping the lid closed. However, if the headphone case is dropped or subjected to an impact, the magnetic attraction to the lid may fail to maintain the closed state, causing the lid to open under external force, posing a risk of the headphone falling out. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application aims to provide an earphone case that at least solves one of the problems that when the earphone case is dropped or impacted, the attraction of the magnet to the cover can no longer keep the cover closed, thus causing the cover to open under the action of external force, and the earphones inside the case may fall out.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application is implemented as follows:

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide an earphone case, including a case body, a cover, a limiting component, and a locking component. The case body is provided with a limiting hole and a first mounting groove; the cover is rotatably connected to the case body to allow the earphone case to have an open state and a closed state; the limiting component is connected to the cover and passes through the limiting hole; the locking component is disposed in the case body, and the locking component includes a locking component and a pressing component, the pressing component is disposed in the first mounting groove, and at least a portion of the pressing component is exposed outside the case body; wherein, when the locking component moves relative to the case body to a first position, it restricts the limiting component from disengaging from the limiting hole, and the earphone case is in a closed state; when the pressing component drives the locking component to move relative to the case body to a second position, the limiting component disengages from the limiting hole, and the earphone case switches from a closed state to an open state.

[0006] In embodiments of this application, the earphone case includes a housing, inside which is a cavity for accommodating earphones. The earphone case also includes a lid disposed on the housing and capable of rotating relative to the housing, thereby allowing the lid to be in an open state and a closed state relative to the housing. When the earphone case is in the open state, i.e., the lid is open relative to the housing, the user can take out the earphones from inside the housing; when the earphone case is in the closed state, i.e., the lid closes the housing, the lid can protect the earphones placed inside the housing.

[0007] The headphone case also includes a limiting component and a locking component. The case body is provided with a limiting hole, the limiting component is connected to the cover and passes through the limiting hole, and the locking component is provided in the case body. The locking component includes a locking component that can lock the limiting component, so that the headphone case can be kept in a closed state.

[0008] When the locking component moves to the first position relative to the case, it restricts the limiting component from disengaging from the limiting hole, and the earphone case is in a closed state. Even if the earphone case is dropped or impacted, the limiting component can more stably prevent the limiting component from disengaging from the limiting hole, thereby enabling the limiting component to more stably maintain the earphone case in a closed state, reducing the probability of the earphone case switching to an open state, thus reducing the risk of the earphone falling out of the case, improving the protection effect of the case for the earphone, improving the safety of the earphone during use, and extending the service life of the earphone.

[0009] When the locking component moves to the second position relative to the case, the limiting component disengages from the limiting hole, and the headphone case switches from a closed state to an open state, allowing the user to take out the headphones from inside the case. This enables the user to open or close the headphone case as needed, improving the convenience of using the headphones.

[0010] The headphone case uses a locking mechanism to prevent the limiting component from disengaging from the limiting hole, thereby limiting the position of the cover. This eliminates the need for magnets to hold the cover in place inside the case, saving space required for magnet placement, reducing the overall weight of the case, and facilitating miniaturization and weight reduction of the headphone module. Furthermore, eliminating the need for magnets to hold the cover reduces material costs, simplifies the assembly process, and lowers the assembly difficulty of the headphone case.

[0053] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 34 The earphone case 10 according to an embodiment of this application is described.

[0054] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the earphone case 10 according to some embodiments of this application includes a case body 100, a cover 200, a limiting component 300, and a locking component 400. The housing 100 is provided with a limiting hole 110 and a first mounting groove 120; the cover 200 is rotatably connected to the housing 100 so that the earphone case 10 has an open state and a closed state; the limiting member 300 is connected to the cover 200 and passes through the limiting hole 110; the locking component 400 is disposed on the housing 100, and the locking component 400 includes a locking member 410 and a pressing component 420. The pressing component 420 is disposed in the first mounting groove 120, and at least part of the pressing component 420 is exposed outside the housing 100; wherein, when the locking member 410 moves relative to the housing 100 to the first position, it restricts the limiting member 300 from disengaging from the limiting hole 110, and the earphone case 10 is in the closed state; when the pressing component 420 drives the locking member 410 to move relative to the housing 100 to the second position, the limiting member 300 disengages from the limiting hole 110, and the earphone case 10 switches from the closed state to the open state.

[0055] The earphone case 10 according to an embodiment of this application includes a case body 100, and a cavity for accommodating earphones is provided inside the case body 100. The earphone case 10 also includes a cover 200, which is disposed on the case body 100 and is rotatable relative to the case body 100, thereby allowing the earphone case 10 to have an open state and a closed state relative to the case body 100. When the earphone case 10 is in the open state, that is, the cover 200 is open relative to the case body 100, the user can take out the earphones from inside the case body 100. When the earphone case 10 is in the closed state, that is, the cover 200 closes the case body 100, the cover 200 can protect the earphones placed inside the case body 100.

[0056] The earphone case 10 also includes a limiting component 300 and a locking component 400. The case body 100 is provided with a limiting hole 110. The limiting component 300 is connected to the cover 200 and passes through the limiting hole 110. The locking component 400 is provided in the case body 100 and includes a locking component 410. The locking component 410 can lock the limiting component 300 so that the earphone case 10 can be kept in a closed state.

[0057] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the locking component 410 moves to the first position relative to the housing 100, it restricts the limiting component 300 from disengaging from the limiting hole 110, and the earphone housing 10 is in a closed state. Even if the earphone housing 10 is dropped or impacted, the limiting component 300 can more stably restrict the limiting component 300 from disengaging from the limiting hole 110, thereby enabling the limiting component 300 to more stably maintain the earphone housing 10 in a closed state, reducing the probability of the earphone housing 10 switching to an open state, thereby reducing the risk of the earphone falling out of the housing 100, improving the protective effect of the housing 100 on the earphone, improving the safety of the earphone during use, and extending the service life of the earphone.

[0058] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the locking component 410 moves to the second position relative to the housing 100, the limiting component 300 disengages from the limiting hole 110, and the headphone case 10 switches from a closed state to an open state, allowing the user to take out the headphones from inside the housing 100. This allows the user to open or close the headphone case 10 according to the needs of using the headphones, improving the convenience of the user's headphone use.

[0059] The earphone case 10 uses a locking component 410 to prevent the limiting component 300 from disengaging from the limiting hole 110, thereby limiting the cover 200. This eliminates the need for magnets to limit the cover 200 within the case 100, saving space required for magnet placement and reducing the overall weight of the case 100, which is beneficial for miniaturization and weight reduction of the earphone module. Furthermore, eliminating the need for magnets to limit the cover 200 reduces the material cost of the earphone case 10, simplifies the assembly process, and lowers the assembly difficulty.

[0060] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the housing 100 is provided with a first mounting groove 120, and the pressing component 420 of the locking component 400 is disposed in the first mounting groove 120. The user presses the part of the pressing component 420 exposed in the housing 100, thereby driving the locking component 410 from the first position to the second position, thereby unlocking the cover 200. This allows the cover 200 to be opened quickly, reducing the difficulty for the user to open the cover 200 and improving the convenience for the user to open the cover 200. This makes it more convenient for the user to use the headphone module and improves the user's experience with the headphone module.

[0061] Optionally, the box body 100 includes a bottom shell 130 and a decorative ring 140, with a limiting hole 110 disposed on the decorative ring 140. The decorative ring 140 and the bottom shell 130 can be an integral structure, or they can be two parts that are assembled and connected, for example, the decorative ring 140 and the bottom shell 130 can be mechanically connected by a slot or glued together.

[0062] The decorative ring 140 may not be provided on the box body 100, and the limiting hole 110 is provided on the bottom shell 130.

[0063] Optionally, the earphone case 10 further includes a second pivot 610 and a torsion spring 620. The second pivot 610 passes through the case body 100 and is connected to the cover 200, thereby allowing the cover 200 to rotate relative to the case body 100. The torsion spring 620 is sleeved on the second pivot 610. When the locking member 410 moves to the first position relative to the case body 100, the locking member 410 prevents the limiting member 300 from disengaging from the limiting hole 110, the earphone case 10 is in a closed state, and the torsion spring 620 is in a compressed state. When the locking member 410 moves to the second position relative to the case body 100, the elastic force of the torsion spring 620 drives the cover 200 to open, the limiting member 300 disengages from the limiting hole 110, and the earphone case 10 switches from a closed state to an open state.

[0064] Optionally, a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port is provided on the side of the housing 100 away from the cover 200.

[0065] Optionally, the pressing block 422 is flush with the opening of the first mounting groove 120, or the pressing block 422 protrudes from the opening of the first mounting groove 120. When the user needs to open the cover 200, he / she presses the pressing block 422 into the box 100. The pressing block 422 moves into the box 100, thereby driving the locking component 410 from the first position to the second position. The locking component 410 releases the lock on the limiting component 300, and the cover 200 is opened.

[0066] Optionally, a support component 630 is provided in the first mounting groove 120, and the support component 630 is integrally injection molded with the box body 100.

[0067] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the locking component 410 includes a first rotating shaft 412, a first driving plate 414, and a second driving plate 416; the first rotating shaft 412 is disposed on the housing 100 and can rotate relative to the housing 100; the first driving plate 414 is connected to one end of the first rotating shaft 412 and abuts against the pressing component 420; the second driving plate 416 is connected to the other end of the first rotating shaft 412 and abuts against the limiting component 300.

[0068] In this embodiment, the locking component 410 includes a first rotating shaft 412 and a first driving plate 414. The first rotating shaft 412 is disposed on the housing 100 and can rotate relative to the housing 100. The first driving plate 414 is connected to one end of the first rotating shaft 412 and abuts against the pressing component 420. When the user touches the pressing component 420, the pressing component 420 drives the first rotating shaft 412 to rotate via the first driving plate 414. The locking component 410 also includes a second driving plate 416, which is connected to the other end of the first rotating shaft 412 and abuts against the limiting component 300. When the pressing component 420 drives the first rotating shaft 412 to rotate via the first driving plate 414, the first rotating shaft 412 drives the limiting component 300 to move via the second driving plate 416, thereby unlocking the limiting component 300 from the limiting hole 110, and allowing the cover 200 to be opened under external force. The cover 200 is unlocked by the first rotating shaft 412, the first driving plate 414 and the second driving plate 416, which further improves the convenience for users to open the cover 200.

[0069] Optionally, one end of the first driving plate 414 is connected to the first rotating shaft 412, and the other end of the first driving plate 414 abuts against the pressing component 420. The first rotating shaft 412 passes through the housing 100 and can rotate relative to the housing 100, but will not displace relative to the housing. When the pressing component 420 is activated, the pressing component 420 will push the other end of the first driving plate 414 to displace, thereby causing the first driving plate 414 to drive the first rotating shaft 412 to rotate.

[0070] The first rotating shaft 412 can drive the second driving plate 416 to rotate together. One end of the second driving plate 416 is connected to the first rotating shaft 412, and the other end of the second driving plate 416 abuts against the limiting component 300. During the rotation of the second driving plate 416 with the first rotating shaft 412, the other end of the second driving plate 416 will generate a certain displacement, which will push the limiting component 300 to move through the other end of the second driving plate 416, so that the limiting component 300 is unlocked from the limiting hole 110.

[0071] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the locking assembly 400 also includes a reset component 430 and a first elastic member 440; the reset component 430 abuts against the first driving plate 414 and is located on the side of the first driving plate 414 away from the pressing assembly 420; the first elastic member 440 is disposed on the side of the reset component 430 away from the pressing assembly 420, one end of the first elastic member 440 is connected to the reset component 430, and the other end of the first elastic member 440 is connected to the housing 100; wherein, when the locking component 410 is in the second position, the first elastic member 440 is in a compressed state.

[0072] In this embodiment, the locking component 400 further includes a reset component 430, which abuts against the first driving plate 414 and is located on the side of the first driving plate 414 away from the pressing component 420. When the pressing component 420 moves into the housing, the pressing component 420 can push the first driving plate 414 and the reset component 430 together to move into the housing 100. The locking component 400 also includes a first elastic element 440, which is disposed on the side of the reset component 430 away from the pressing component 420. One end of the first elastic element 440 is connected to the reset component 430, and the other end of the first elastic element 440 is connected to the housing 100. When the locking component 410 is in the second position, the first elastic element 440 is in a compressed state. When the pressing component 420 loses external pressure, the elastic force of the first elastic element 440 will drive the reset component 430 to move outward of the housing 100. The reset component 430 will drive the first driving piece 414 and the pressing component 420 to move outward of the housing 100 together, thereby driving the locking component 410 to return to the first position and the pressing component 420 to return to the position before being pressured, thereby realizing the reset of the locking component 410 and the pressing component 420, so that the user can unlock the cover 200 again by pressing the component 420.

[0073] Optionally, the first elastic element 440 is a spring.

[0074] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the pressing assembly 420 includes a pressing block 422, a spring-loaded post 424, and a pressing post 426; the pressing block 422 is slidably connected to the housing 100; one end of the spring-loaded post 424 is connected to the pressing block 422, and the other end is connected to the reset component 430; one end of the pressing post 426 is connected to the pressing block 422, and the other end abuts against the first drive piece 414.

[0075] In this embodiment, the pressing component 420 includes a pressing block 422 and a pressing post 426. The pressing block 422 is slidably connected to the housing 100. One end of the pressing post 426 is connected to the pressing block 422, and the other end abuts against the first driving piece 414. This allows the first driving piece 414 to move when the user presses the pressing block 422 and slides it into the housing 100, thereby unlocking the cover 200. The pressing assembly 420 also includes a spring post 424. One end of the spring post 424 is connected to the pressing block 422, and the other end is connected to the reset component 430. When the user unlocks the cover 200 by pressing the block 422, he can drive the reset component 430 to move together. This causes the pressing block 422 to compress the first elastic member 440 through the reset component 430. After the pressing block 422 loses external force, the first elastic member 440 can drive the first driving piece 414 and the pressing block 422 to reset through the reset component 430, further improving the convenience of the user when using the headphone module.

[0076] Optionally, the reset component 430 is elongated and arranged side by side with the pressing block 422 in the first mounting groove 120.

[0077] There are two first elastic elements 440, which are respectively disposed at both ends of the reset component 430 and abut against the inner wall of the first mounting groove 120.

[0078] Specifically, such as Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the first rotating shaft 412 moves in conjunction with the pressing block 422 and the reset component 430. There is a length difference between the pressing post 426 and the rebound post 424. When the pressing block 422 is pressed downwards by an external force, the rebound post 424 presses the reset component 430 downwards. Since the pressing post 426 is relatively short, the protruding structure of the first driving plate 414 and the reset component 430 slightly separates at this time. The pressure from the pressing post 426 causes rotation, which in turn drives the first rotating shaft 412 to deflect clockwise to the right, pressing the latch 320 to generate movement. When the external force on the pressing block 422 is released, the first elastic element 440 of the reset component 430 gradually restores its original position, gradually pushing the reset component 430, and thus pushing the pressing post 426 and the first rotating shaft 412 back to their original positions.

[0079] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the limiting component 300 includes a first body 310 and a buckle 320. One end of the first body 310 is connected to the cover 200 and passes through the limiting hole 110. The buckle 320 is disposed at the other end of the first body 310 and is engaged with the end of the limiting hole 110 away from the cover 200. The second driving piece 416 abuts against the buckle 320.

[0080] In this embodiment, the limiting component 300 includes a first body 310 and a buckle 320. One end of the first body 310 is connected to the cover 200 and passes through the limiting hole 110. The buckle 320 is disposed at the other end of the first body 310 and engages with the end of the limiting hole 110 away from the cover 200. The second driving piece 416 abuts against the buckle 320. When the pressing component 420 drives the second driving piece 416 to move through the first rotating shaft 412, the second driving piece 416 pushes the buckle 320 out of the engaging position, thereby unlocking the limiting component 300 from the limiting hole 110, further improving the convenience for the user to unlock the cover 200 by pressing the component 420.

[0081] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the limiting component 300 also includes a second body 330, which is disposed side by side with the first body 310 in the limiting hole 110, and there is a gap between the second body 330 and the first body 310.

[0082] In this embodiment, the limiting component 300 also includes a second body 330, which is disposed parallel to the first body 310 within the limiting hole 110. There is a gap between the second body 330 and the first body 310. When the limiting component 300 is inserted into the limiting hole 110, the second body 330 can provide certain support for the limiting component 300, thereby enabling the buckle 320 to engage with the limiting hole 110 and improving the stability of the cover 200 when it is in a closed state.

[0083] The first body 310 and the second body 330 are arranged side by side, with a gap between them. When the first body 310 and the second body 330 are inserted into the limiting hole 110, the gap between them decreases, causing them to deform and have a certain springback capability. When the limiting component 300 moves to the engaging position, the buckle 320 on the first body 310 engages with the limiting hole 110 under the springback capability of the first body 310 and the second body 330, thus enabling the limiting component 300 to more stably maintain the closed state of the cover 200 when it is closed.

[0084] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the cover 200 is in the closed state, the buckle 320 of the cover 200 is inserted into the limiting hole 110 and engaged with the outer edge of the bottom of the limiting hole 110, as shown. Figure 5 As shown, when the rotating shaft deflects to the right and moves clockwise, the second driving plate 416 will press the buckle 320 to move, the first body 310 will bend, and the buckle 320 and the first body 310 will retract into the limiting hole 110. At this time, the unlocking is completed, and the cover 200 can be opened freely.

[0085] like Figure 6 As shown, when the cover 200 is about to close, the buckle 320 will be squeezed against the outer edge of the top of the limiting hole 110 to produce elastic deformation. The first body 310, the second body 330 and the buckle 320 retract into the limiting hole 110. When they slide to the bottom of the limiting hole 110, the buckle 320 engages with the outer edge of the bottom of the limiting hole 110 to achieve a locking action.

[0086] The purpose of the second body 330 is to provide support for the first body 310, limit unnecessary movement and deformation of the first body 310, and prevent the first body 310 from undergoing large plastic deformation, thereby reducing the service life of the structure.

[0087] The length of the first body 310 can be reduced, in which case the length of the first pivot 412 needs to be extended accordingly, or the pressing component 420 can be designed to be higher and closer to the cover 200.

[0088] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the limiting component 300 is provided with a second mounting groove 340 at one end away from the cover 200. The earphone box 10 also includes a slider 350, which is disposed in the second mounting groove 340. The second driving plate 416 is provided with a bayonet 418, and the slider 350 is embedded in the bayonet 418.

[0089] In this embodiment, the end of the limiting component 300 away from the cover 200 is provided with a second mounting groove 340. The earphone case 10 also includes a slider 350, which is disposed in the second mounting groove 340. The second driving plate 416 is provided with a latch 418, and the slider 350 is embedded in the latch 418. Thus, the limiting component 300 is locked by the cooperation between the slider 350 and the second driving plate 416, improving the stability of the cover 200 when it is in a closed state. Furthermore, when the pressing component 420 drives the second driving plate 416 to move through the first rotating shaft 412, the slider 350 disengages from the latch 418 of the second driving plate 416, thereby unlocking the limiting component 300 and further improving the convenience for the user to unlock the cover 200 by pressing the component 420.

[0090] Optionally, the slider 350 is a U-shaped block, and there are two bayonets 418 on the second drive plate 416, with the two sides of the U-shaped block inserted into the two bayonets 418 respectively.

[0091] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the earphone case 10 also includes a second elastic member 500, which is disposed in the second mounting groove 340. One end of the second elastic member 500 is connected to the side of the slider 350 away from the second driving piece 416, and the other end of the second elastic member 500 is connected to the limiting member 300.

[0092] In this embodiment, the earphone case 10 further includes a second elastic element 500, which is disposed within the second mounting groove 340. One end of the second elastic element 500 is connected to the side of the slider 350 away from the second driving plate 416, and the other end of the second elastic element 500 is connected to the limiting member 300. During the closing process of the cover 200, the second driving plate 416 contacts the slider 350, and the slider 350 moves into the second mounting groove 340, compressing the second elastic element 500. As the cover 200 continues to close, the limiting member 300 continues to drive the slider 350 to move until the slider 350 is aligned with the slot 418. Under the elastic force of the second elastic element 500, the slider 350 is inserted into the slot 418, thereby locking the limiting member 300 and improving the stability of the cover 200 when it is in the closed state.

[0093] Optionally, a guide surface is provided on the side of the slider 350 away from the cover 200 so that when the slider 350 contacts the second drive plate 416, the second drive plate 416 can push the slider 350 into the second mounting groove 340, thereby improving the smoothness of the cover 200 closing process.

[0094] Optionally, the second elastic element 500 is a spring and / or foam.

[0095] Specifically, such as Figure 12 As shown, the latch 320 of the cover 200 is removed. A groove is made at the bottom of the limiting component 300, and a U-shaped slider 350, a spring for the slider 350, and foam (any material, but with good elasticity) are added to achieve the locking function when the cover 200 is closed. Figure 13 As shown, the second drive plate 416 at the top of the first rotating shaft 412 has a slot at a corresponding position to accommodate the telescopic limit of the slider 350; as Figure 12 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, the spring is compressed when the slider 350 is pressed at the bottom (left end). The foam acts as a buffer and balance, ensuring that the slider 350 moves horizontally along the direction of spring compression and preventing jamming. Figure 16 , Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown, the second drive plate 416 continues to move. When the slot 418 of the second drive plate 416 is aligned with the top (right end) of the slider 350, the spring compression process ends and begins to rebound, pushing the slider 350 to reset and embed into the slot 418 of the second drive plate 416. The constraint limiting component 300 moves in the vertical (left and right) direction, completing the movement locking of the cover 200.

[0096] like Figure 19 , Figure 20 and Figure 21 As shown, the pressing component 420 drives the first rotating shaft 412 to rotate. After the first rotating shaft 412 drives the first driving plate 414 and the second driving plate 416 to rotate at a certain angle, the second driving plate 416 separates from the slider 350, and the cover 200 is unlocked.

[0097] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the locking assembly 400 also includes a movable part 450 and a slide rail 460; the movable part 450 is disposed within the first mounting groove 120, located on one side of the pressing assembly 420; the slide rail 460 is connected to the movable part 450; wherein, as Figure 22 and Figure 23 As shown, when the movable part 450 is in the third position relative to the reset part 430, the slide rail 460 abuts against the side of the pressing assembly 420 near the interior of the housing 100; Figure 24 , Figure 25 and Figure 26 As shown, when the movable part 450 is in the fourth position relative to the reset part 430, the slide rail 460 is separated from the pressing assembly 420.

[0098] In this embodiment, the locking component 400 further includes a movable component 450, which is disposed in the first mounting groove 120 and located on one side of the pressing component 420. The movable component 450 is capable of moving between a third position close to the pressing component 420 and a fourth position away from the pressing component 420. The locking component 400 also includes a slide rail 460, which is connected to the movable component 450. When the movable component 450 is in the third position relative to the reset component 430, the slide rail 460 abuts against the side of the pressing component 420 near the inside of the housing 100. The slide rail 460 is used to limit the movement of the pressing component 420 into the housing 100, thereby limiting the pressing component 420 and reducing the probability that the cover 200 will be opened due to accidental touch or impact from an external force. This allows the limiting component 300 to more stably keep the cover 200 in a closed state, reducing the risk of the earphone falling out of the housing 100, improving the protection effect of the housing 100 on the earphone, enhancing the safety of the earphone during use, and extending the service life of the earphone.

[0099] Optionally, the movable part 450 and the pressing block 422 are arranged side by side in the first mounting groove 120.

[0100] Specifically, the pressing component 420 may be accidentally activated during actual use, causing the mechanical locking of the cover 200 to fail. The movable part 450 and the slide rail 460, while enabling the adjustable hole spacing of the lanyard hole, can also provide a foolproof locking mechanism for the pressing component 420.

[0101] The movable component 450 can slide horizontally along the groove of the slide rail 460 at its bottom. When the movable component 450 and the slide rail 460 are in the unlocked state, the right side of the slide rail 460 is engaged in the groove of the slide rail 460, and there is a certain distance between the left side of the slide rail 460 and the pressing block 422, allowing the pressing block 422 to move freely. When the movable component 450 and the slide rail 460 move a certain distance to the left, the right side of the slide rail 460 leaves the groove of the slide rail 460, and the left side of the slide rail 460 supports the bottom of the pressing block 422, preventing the pressing block 422 from moving vertically, thus completing the foolproof locking of the pressing component 420.

[0102] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 27 and Figure 28 As shown, the movable component 450 is provided with a first lanyard hole 452, and the earphone case 10 also includes a first limiting block 454, a hooking component 470, and a second limiting block 474; the first limiting block 454 is disposed at the opening of the first lanyard hole 452 and connected to the movable component 450, and the first limiting block 454 is provided with a first threading groove 456, which communicates with the first lanyard hole 452; the hooking component 470 is disposed in the first mounting groove 120, located between the movable component 450 and the pressing component 420, and the hooking component 470 is provided with a second lanyard hole 472; the second limiting block 474 is disposed at the opening of the second lanyard hole 472 and connected to the hooking component 470, and the second limiting block 474 is provided with a second threading groove 476, which communicates with the second lanyard hole 472; wherein, as Figure 29 and Figure 30 As shown, when the movable part 450 is in the third position, the first lanyard hole 452 is opposite to the second lanyard hole 472, and the first threading groove 456 is intersected with the second threading groove 476.

[0103] In this embodiment, the hanging component 470 is disposed in the first mounting groove 120, located between the movable component 450 and the pressing component 420. The second lanyard hole 472 of the hanging component 470 cooperates with the first lanyard hole 452 of the movable component 450, and can be used to install accessories such as lanyards. When the earphone box 10 is used in conjunction with accessories such as lanyards, straps or wristbands, it not only enables the earphone module to have anti-loss and anti-theft functions, but also makes the earphone module have better wearing safety and wearing convenience.

[0104] The earphone case 10 also includes a first limiting block 454 and a second limiting block 474. The first limiting block 454 is disposed at the opening of the first lanyard hole 452 and connected to the movable part 450. The first limiting block 454 is provided with a first threading groove 456, which communicates with the first lanyard hole 452. The second limiting block 474 is disposed at the opening of the second lanyard hole 472 and connected to the hanging part 470. The second limiting block 474 is provided with a second threading groove 476, which communicates with the second lanyard hole 472. When the user installs accessories such as lanyards, such as... Figure 32 , Figure 33 and Figure 34 As shown, it is no longer necessary to first untie the lanyard or other accessories. Instead, the movable part 450 is pushed to the fourth position, and the loop-shaped lanyard is directly inserted into the first lanyard hole 452 and the second lanyard hole 472 through the first wire groove 456 and the second wire groove 476. This makes the installation of lanyards and other accessories more convenient, and also allows the headphone case 10 to accommodate a wider variety of accessories. When the movable part 450 is in the third position, the first lanyard hole 452 and the second lanyard hole 472 are opposite each other, so lanyards and other accessories can be more smoothly attached to the movable part 450 and the attachment part 470. The first wire groove 456 and the second wire groove 476 are staggered, which can prevent lanyards and other accessories from being restricted by the first limiting block 454 and the second limiting block 474 into the first lanyard hole 452 and the second lanyard hole 472, thereby reducing the probability of lanyards and other accessories separating from the headphone case 10 and improving the stability of lanyards and other accessories during the use of the headphone module.

[0105] The movable part 450 cooperates with the hanging part 470 to install accessories such as lanyards. When the movable part 450 is in the third position, it can limit the pressing component 420 and restrict the accessories, thus realizing the reuse of the movable part 450. While enriching the functions of the headphone module, it simplifies the structure of the headphone module.

[0106] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 31 As shown, the first limiting block 454 is provided with a first insertion part 458, and the second limiting block 474 is provided with a second insertion part 478; when the movable part 450 is in the third position, the first insertion part 458 is inserted into the second wire groove 476, and the second insertion part 478 is inserted into the first wire groove 456.

[0107] In this embodiment, when the movable part 450 is in the third position, the first plug part 458 is inserted into the second wire groove 476. The first plug part 458 can close part of the second wire groove 476, and the second plug part 478 is inserted into the first wire groove 456. The second plug part 478 can close part of the first wire groove 456, further reducing the probability of accessories such as lanyards separating from the headphone case 10 and improving the stability of accessories such as lanyards during the use of the headphone module.

[0108] Optionally, except for the hinge, torsion spring 620 and spring, which are made of metal, the rest of the headphone case 10 can be injection molded.

[0109] Optionally, the headphone case 10 also includes a decorative panel 650, which covers the first mounting groove 120 to cover the movable part 450 and the hanging part 470.

[0110] Specifically, the lanyard hole structure of the wireless earphone case 10 in the related technology only supports the linear passage of accessory cords 700 such as lanyards, straps, or wristbands. After the accessory cord 700 passes through the lanyard hole, the two ends of the cord are connected in some way to form a loop, which is then worn on the wrist or neck, etc., making the wearing method not simple and convenient. This application can solve this problem well. Through the movement of the movable part 450, the accessory cord 700 can be directly fixed after passing through the lanyard hole in a loop, eliminating the need for the user to connect the accessory cord 700 later, greatly improving the ease of wearing.

[0111] The two hanging holes are equipped with staggered threading grooves and limiting blocks. The distance between the two hanging holes can be adjusted by movement. When there is a certain gap between the movable part 450 and the hanging part 470, the decorative cord 700 can be directly inserted into the threading groove in a ring structure. When the movable part 450 and the hanging part 470 are aligned, the threading groove and the limiting block engage, and the decorative cord 700 is fixed in the hanging hole.

[0112] The width of the two threading slots matches the diameter (thickness) of the accessory cord 700, allowing the accessory cord 700 to pass through freely. After the accessory cord 700 is fully inserted into the two hanging holes, the movable part 450 is pushed to complete the alignment of the threading slots and the limiting block, and the accessory cord 700 is completely fixed in the hanging hole. Similarly, pushing the movable part 450 in the opposite direction can separate the limiting block from the threading slot, and the accessory cord 700 returns to the state where it can pass through the threading slot freely.

[0113] The dimensions, shapes, quantities, and materials of the grooves, clips, sliders 350, and springs provided in this application are not limited and can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs.

[0114] The buckle 320, press-to-unlock, lanyard hole, and foolproof design provided in this application can be implemented partially or independently to balance the needs of cost and functionality.
