Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of true wireless earphones, and in particular to an earphone battery replacement structure and an earphone. Background Art

[0002] True wireless earphones have developed rapidly in the past few years and have become one of the main products in the consumer electronics market. However, current true wireless earphones are usually designed as non-detachable closed structures, which makes it impossible for users to replace the batteries by themselves. When the earphone battery fails or the battery capacity decreases, users have to send the entire earphone back to the manufacturer for repair or directly discard it. This not only increases the cost of use for consumers, but also brings environmental problems, because the design that cannot replace the battery by oneself leads to a large amount of electronic waste. Therefore, some manufacturers have made further research and development.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent document CN114843685A discloses a headphone battery structure that allows convenient battery replacement, including a housing, a fixing, a connecting plate, and a control board; the fixing, the connecting plate, and the control board are all arranged inside the housing, the fixing is connected to the housing, the connecting portion is used to place and remove the battery into the fixing, and the outer wall of the housing is provided with ear wings for sealing the connecting portion. When the headphone is used for a long time, the battery life will continue to decline. When the battery reaches the end of its service life, the ear wings can be removed from the housing, and then the old battery can be removed from the connecting portion between the fixing and the housing, and the new battery can be installed from the connecting portion into the fixing. The disassembly-free structure makes it easier for users to replace batteries, avoids the risk of damage to the electronic components inside the headphone when the user disassembles the headphone to replace the battery, and also allows users to use repairs instead of purchases, thereby reducing users' frequent purchases of headphones and reducing expenses.

[0004] However, the design of the above-mentioned earphone battery structure with convenient battery replacement has the following problems:

[0005] Although the user can replace the battery without damaging the electronic components inside the headset by disassembling the headset, the convenient battery fixing part is connected to the control board through two springs, and the battery is easy to loosen inside the headset. At the same time, when placing and removing the battery, the user needs to repeatedly assemble the parts. The battery structure of the headset with convenient battery replacement is complex and complicated, and the user is very likely to miss or install the wrong battery during the assembly process, which brings inconvenience to battery replacement.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present disclosure, the present disclosure will be described more fully below with reference to the relevant drawings. The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are given in the drawings. However, the present disclosure can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present disclosure more thoroughly and comprehensively understood.

[0031] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be a central element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be a central element at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only implementation method.

[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present disclosure. The terms used herein in the specification of the present disclosure are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0033] In order to better understand the technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments:

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an earphone battery replacement structure 10 of an embodiment includes an earphone main body 100, a charging module 200 and a pluggable battery pack 300, the charging module 200 is built in the earphone main body 100; a mounting groove 110 is opened on one side of the earphone main body 100, and a charging column 210 of the charging module 200 is protruded in the mounting groove 110; a conductive member 310 is provided on the pluggable battery pack 300; the pluggable battery pack 300 is slidably set in the mounting groove 110, and is magnetically connected to the earphone main body 100, so that the conductive member 310 abuts against the charging column 210 of the charging module 200.

[0035] It can be understood that by opening a mounting groove 110 on one side of the earphone body 100 and sliding the plug-in battery pack 300 in the mounting groove 110, the user can smoothly remove and install the plug-in battery pack 300. Because the plug-in battery pack 300 is provided with a conductive member 310, and the charging column 210 of the charging module 200 is protruding in the mounting groove 110, the conductive member 310 can be connected to the charging column 210 to charge the charging module 200.

[0036] It can be understood that compared with the earphone battery structure of the prior art that can conveniently replace the battery, the earphone battery replacement structure 10 described above can not only firmly install the pluggable battery pack 300 in the installation slot 110, but also enhance the contact tightness between the conductor 310 and the charging column 210 by magnetically connecting the pluggable battery pack 300 to the earphone body 100. At the same time, the pluggable battery pack 300 is integrated into one body and has a compact structure, so that the user only needs to align the conductor 310 with the charging column 210 to charge the earphone, and the battery can be replaced without disassembling the charging module 200, which not only reduces the situation of missing or wrong installation of parts of the charging module 200, but also makes the operation easier.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, guide recessed rails 320 are respectively provided on both sides of the pluggable battery pack 300, and the groove wall of the mounting slide groove 110 is provided with guide convex ribs 1110; the guide convex ribs 1110 are slidably disposed in the guide recessed rails 320. It can be understood that by making the guide convex ribs 1110 slidably disposed in the guide recessed rails 320, the pluggable battery pack 300 can move along a predetermined path when plugging and unplugging, and at the same time, the guide recessed rails 320 restrict the guide convex ribs 1110, which can ensure that the pluggable battery pack 300 remains stable when moving and can dock accurately, so that the pluggable battery pack 300 plugging and unplugging process is smoother.

[0038] Combination Figure 1 As shown, specifically, a first positioning magnetic block 120 is further provided in the earphone body 100, and the first positioning magnetic block 120 is provided near the installation slot 110; a second positioning magnetic block 330 is provided inside the pluggable battery pack 300, and the second positioning magnetic block 330 is provided opposite to the first positioning magnetic block 120. It can be understood that by providing the first positioning magnetic block 120 in the earphone body 100 and the second positioning magnetic block 330 inside the pluggable battery pack 300, because the first positioning magnetic block 120 is provided near the installation slot 110, when the pluggable battery pack 300 is slidably accommodated in the installation slot 110, the second positioning magnetic block 330 can be opposite to the first positioning magnetic block 120, and magnetic attraction can be generated between the second positioning magnetic block 330 and the first positioning magnetic block 120, so that the pluggable battery pack 300 is firmly adsorbed and fixed in the installation slot 110, and this magnetic attraction can firmly keep the position of the battery pack stable.

[0039] Combination Figure 1 As shown, further, the first positioning magnetic block 120 is arranged away from the charging column 210 of the charging module 200. It can be understood that by placing the first positioning magnetic block 120 at a position away from the charging column 210 of the charging module 200, the first positioning magnetic block 120 maintains a predetermined distance from the charging column 210, thereby reducing the interference of the magnetic field on the charging column 210, thereby ensuring the stability of the earphone during charging. Among them, the predetermined distance can be 2mm or 2.3mm, which is not limited here.

[0040] Combination Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, there are multiple charging posts 210, and multiple charging posts 210 are arranged at intervals; there are multiple conductive parts 310, and each conductive part 310 abuts against the corresponding charging post 210. It can be understood that by arranging multiple charging posts 210 at intervals, there is a sufficient interval between each charging post 210, and by making each conductive part 310 abut against the corresponding charging post 210, it is ensured that each conductive part 310 can be connected to the charging module 200 through an independent charging post 210, so that the plug-in battery pack 300 can form multiple independent charging paths with the charging module 200, and multiple charging paths can charge the plug-in battery pack 300 at the same time, thereby improving the charging efficiency. At the same time, the charging paths will not affect each other. When one of the charging paths is damaged, the plug-in battery pack 300 can still supply power to the charging module 200, and the charging stability is better.

[0041] Combination Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the charging column 210 is a conductive copper column. It can be understood that because the charging column 210 is a conductive copper column, the conductive copper column has good conductivity and can efficiently transmit electrical energy, so that the plug-in battery pack 300 can power the charging module 200 faster. Figure 4 As shown, it can also be that, in another embodiment, the conductive member 310 is a conductive spring. It can be understood that because the conductive member 310 is a conductive spring, when the plug-in battery pack 300 is installed in the installation slot 110, the plug-in battery pack 300 can abut against the charging column 210 of the charging module 200 through the conductive spring. Since the conductive spring has a certain elasticity, it can produce elastic deformation when abutting against the charging column 210 of the charging module 200, so that the conductive spring can adapt to different models of charging columns 210, so that the plug-in battery pack 300 has better applicability. At the same time, the conductive spring will press against the charging column 210 under the action of its own elastic restoring force, further improving the contact tightness between the conductive member 310 and the charging column 210.

[0042] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, specifically, the mounting slot 110 is provided with an embedding hole 1120 on the slot wall near the charging module 200; the charging column 210 of the charging module 200 is exposed to the mounting slot 110 through the embedding hole 1120. It can be understood that by providing the embedding hole 1120 on the slot wall near the charging module 200 of the mounting slot 110, when the charging module 200 is built into the earphone body 100, the charging column 210 of the charging module 200 can be exposed to the mounting slot 110 through the embedding hole 1120, so that when the plug-in battery pack 300 is installed in the mounting slot 110, the conductive part 310 of the plug-in battery pack 300 can directly abut against the part of the charging column 210 exposed in the mounting slot 110, and the charging column 210 is fixed by the embedding hole 1120. The position is stable and less likely to shift, and it is more convenient to use.

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the earphone body 100 includes an upper shell 130 and a lower shell 140; the upper shell 130 and the lower shell 140 are buckled together to form a mounting cavity 150; the charging module 200 is arranged in the mounting cavity 150; the mounting slide groove 110 is opened on the lower shell 140 and communicates with the mounting cavity 150. It can be understood that since the mounting cavity 150 is formed by buckling the upper shell 130 and the lower shell 140, the charging module 200 is arranged in the mounting cavity 150 through the charging module 200, so that the upper shell 130 and the lower shell 140 can cover the entire charging module 200, so that the structural strength of the above-mentioned earphone battery replacement structure 10 is greater, and the charging module 200 can be better protected.

[0044] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, specifically, the lower shell 140 is provided with a protruding ear nozzle 1410, and the ear nozzle 1410 has a built-in speaker 1420, and the speaker 1420 is electrically connected to the charging module 200. It can be understood that by providing a protruding ear nozzle 1410 on the lower shell 140, and a speaker 1420 is built inside the ear nozzle 1410. Because of the protruding ear nozzle 1410 of the lower shell 140, the user can insert the ear nozzle 1410 into the ear, so that the speaker 1420 can directly transmit sound to the ear, thereby helping to isolate external noise and provide better audio isolation effect. Since the speaker 1420 is electrically connected to the charging module 200, the speaker 1420 can be connected to the charging module 200 to obtain the required power supply, ensuring that the speaker 1420 can work normally.

[0045] Combination Figure 1As shown, the present disclosure also provides an earphone, including an earphone power replacement structure 10 of any of the above-mentioned embodiments. It can be understood that by applying the earphone power replacement structure 10 of the present disclosure to the earphone, since the plug-in battery pack 300 of the earphone power replacement structure 10 is integrated into one body and has a compact structure, the user only needs to align the conductive part 310 with the charging column 210 to charge the earphone, and the power replacement can be achieved without disassembling the charging module 200, which not only reduces the situation of missing or wrong installation of parts of the charging module 200, but also makes the operation easier.

[0046] In one embodiment, for better understanding, the use process of the portable coffee machine is described as follows:

[0047] During use, when the user installs the pluggable battery pack 300 for charging, the user slides the pluggable battery pack 300 into the installation slot 110 on one side of the headset body 100, and the pluggable battery pack 300 is fixed by magnetic attraction. A charging column 210 protrudes from the installation slot 110, and the conductive part 310 on the pluggable battery pack 300 is aligned with the charging column 210, and the connection is automatically established. During battery replacement, the user only needs to slide the pluggable battery pack 300 to remove the battery, and there is no need to reinstall the charging module 200.

[0048] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following advantages:

[0049] 1) By opening a mounting groove 110 on one side of the earphone body 100 and sliding the pluggable battery pack 300 in the mounting groove 110, the user can smoothly remove and install the pluggable battery pack 300. In addition, because the pluggable battery pack 300 is provided with a conductive member 310, and the charging column 210 of the charging module 200 is protruding in the mounting groove 110, the conductive member 310 can be connected to the charging column 210 to charge the charging module 200.

[0050] 2) Compared with the earphone battery structure of the prior art that can conveniently replace the battery, the earphone battery replacement structure 10 described above can not only firmly install the pluggable battery pack 300 in the installation slot 110, but also enhance the contact tightness between the conductor 310 and the charging column 210 by magnetically connecting the pluggable battery pack 300 to the earphone body 100. At the same time, the pluggable battery pack 300 is integrated into one body and has a compact structure, so that the user only needs to align the conductor 310 with the charging column 210 to charge the earphone, and the battery can be replaced without disassembling the charging module 200, which not only reduces the situation of missing or wrong installation of parts of the charging module 200, but also makes the operation easier.

[0051] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present disclosure, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present disclosure, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present disclosure shall be based on the attached claims.
