Abstract
Description
Technical Field:
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of charging box products, and particularly refers to an automatic flip mechanism for a TWS earphone charging box. Background Art:
[0002] The earphone charging box is used for storing and charging earphones. Currently, most earphone charging boxes need to be manually opened. When taking out or putting in the earphones, the user needs to exert force on the opening position of the earphone charging box, which is not convenient to use.
[0003] In this regard, the Chinese utility model patent with the application number 202020774226.8 discloses a wireless earphone charging box, which includes a box body and a box cover. The box body is provided with an earphone slot for placing wireless earphones. A first magnet is arranged along the outer edge contour of the top of the box body, and a second magnet is arranged along the outer edge contour of the bottom of the box cover. The first magnet and the second magnet attract each other. This wireless earphone charging box can largely prevent iron filings / iron powder from being adsorbed onto the contact surface between the box body and the box cover, and avoid the problem that the appearance is affected because the iron filings / iron powder are pressed into the plastic of the contact surface to form small black dots.
[0004] However, the above wireless earphone charging box has some deficiencies: when the box cover is opened relative to the box body, there is no support structure formed between them, and it is easy for the box cover to automatically fall and close relative to the box body, which affects taking out or putting in the earphones relative to the wireless earphone charging box and is not convenient to use. Moreover, after the box cover is closed relative to the box body, it is necessary to adsorb and fix through the first magnet and the second magnet to achieve stable closing and prevent the box cover from accidentally opening. However, it is necessary to additionally install the first magnet and the second magnet, and its structure is relatively complex and the cost is relatively high, which is not conducive to improving the market competitiveness.

[0024] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.
[0025] See Figure 1-6 As shown, it is an automatic flip mechanism for a TWS earphone charging case, which includes a box body 1 and a cover body 2 rotatably mounted on the box body 1. During specific use, the TWS earphone can be placed in the box body 1, and the cover body 2 can be closed on the box body 1 to achieve the purpose of storing the TWS earphone; when the TWS earphone needs to be taken out, the TWS earphone can be taken out directly after opening the cover body 2.
[0026] A flat spring 3 is provided between the box body 1 and the cover body 2. The spring 3 includes a first torsion coil 31 in the middle, a first elastic arm 32 and a second elastic arm 33 formed at both ends of the first torsion coil 31 and capable of being compressed and deformed relative to the first torsion coil 31, a first connecting portion 34 bent and formed on the first elastic arm 32, and a second connecting portion 35 bent and formed on the second elastic arm 33. The first connecting portion 34 is rotatably connected to the rear end of the box body 1, and the second connecting portion 35 is movably connected to the rear end of the cover body 2. The second rotation fulcrum 300 formed by the first connecting portion 34 and the box body 1 and the first rotation fulcrum 100 formed by the cover body 2 and the box body 1 are not on the same axis. In this way, when the cover body 2 is opened / opened outward from the closed state relative to the box body 1, the spring 3 will be continuously compressed and gradually expand outward. In this way, after the cover body 2 is opened, the spring 3 can drive the cover body 2 to open outward to achieve the purpose of automatic flip. Specifically: when the cover body 2 is closed relative to the box body 1, the spring 3 is in a forward-tilted state to tilt and support the rear end of the cover body 2. The elastic force of the spring 3 can drive the front end of the cover body 2 to close relative to the box body 1 to achieve the purpose of stable closing, so as to avoid the phenomenon that the cover body 2 is accidentally opened. It does not need to install upper and lower magnets at the corresponding positions of the cover body 2 and the box body 1, saving the use cost of the upper and lower magnets, simplifying the complexity of the product structure, and making the manufacturing cost of the present utility model lower; when the cover body 2 is opened relative to the box body 1, the spring 3 is compressed as the cover body 2 is opened. When the spring 3 changes from a vertical state to a backward-tilted state, the spring 3 provides an elastic force to drive the cover body 2 to continue to open relative to the box body 1 until the cover body 2 is opened to the extreme position relative to the box body 1. And the spring 3 is in a backward-tilted state to tilt and support the rear end of the cover body 2 to support and position the cover body 2 opened relative to the box body 1, thereby achieving the purpose of automatic flip, and being able to stably support the opened cover body 2, effectively preventing the phenomenon that the cover body 2 accidentally falls and closes relative to the box body 1, so as to facilitate putting the TWS earphone into the box body 1 or taking out the TWS earphone from the box body 1, which is extremely convenient to use.
[0027] Among them, the second rotation fulcrum 300 is located above the first rotation fulcrum 100. In this embodiment, when the cover body 2 is closed relative to the box body 1, the spring 3 is in the maximum expanded state, and it is also in a compressed state, so as to be able to provide an elastic force to the cover body 2 to push up the rear end of the cover body 2 upward, and make the front end of the cover body 2 move downward to close with the box body 1, which is similar to the principle of the lever structure. When the cover body 2 is opened relative to the box body 1, the spring 3 will be immediately compressed. Among them, when the angle at which the cover body 2 is opened relative to the box body 1 is 30 - 45°, the spring is compressed to the minimum, and the spring changes from a forward-tilted state to a vertical state. Then, when the cover body 2 is further opened and the spring changes from a vertical state to a forward-tilted state, the spring 3 provides an elastic force to drive the cover body 2 to continue to open relative to the box body 1 until the cover body 2 is opened to the extreme limit relative to the box body 1 (that is, the angle at which the cover body 2 is opened relative to the box body 1 is 90 degrees or greater than 90 degrees). At this time, the spring is also expanded to the maximum and in a compressed state, and the spring 3 is in a backward-tilted state to tilt and support the rear end of the cover body 2 to support and position the cover body 2 after it is opened relative to the box body 1, so as to prevent the cover body 2 from accidentally falling or toppling.
[0028] The spring 3 is formed by winding a spring wire.
[0029] The spring 3 has at least the following two structures:
[0030] The first structure is: the number of the first torsion loops 31, the first elastic arms 32, the second elastic arms 33, and the first connecting parts 34 are all two, and the two first torsion loops 31 are symmetrically distributed; the two first connecting parts 34 are symmetrically distributed, and there is a gap between them; the two first elastic arms 32 are symmetrically distributed; the two second elastic arms 33 are symmetrically distributed; the two first torsion loops 31 are symmetrically distributed; the second connecting part 35 is one, and both ends of the second connecting part 35 are integrally connected to the ends of the first elastic arm 32 and the second elastic arm 33 respectively.
[0031] The second structure is: a second torsion loop 36 is further bent and formed between the second elastic arm 33 and the second connecting part 35. Among them, the number of the first torsion loops 31, the first elastic arms 32, the second elastic arms 33, the first connecting parts 34, and the second torsion loops 36 are all two, and the two first torsion loops 31 are symmetrically distributed; the two first elastic arms 32 are symmetrically distributed; the two second elastic arms 33 are symmetrically distributed; the two first torsion loops 31 are symmetrically distributed; the two first connecting parts 34 are symmetrically distributed, and there is a gap between them; the two second torsion loops 36 are symmetrically distributed; the second connecting part 35 is one, and both ends of the second connecting part 35 are integrally connected to the two second torsion loops 36 respectively and serve as the elastic arms of the two second torsion loops 36.
[0032] The difference between the second structure of the above spring and the first structure lies in that: the second structure of the spring has two more second torsion coils 36 than the first structure, and the elastic deformation ability of the spring can be enhanced by adding the second torsion coils 36. As a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, the spring adopts the above second structure.
[0033] The angle formed between the first elastic arm 32 and the first connecting portion 34 is less than 90 degrees.

An installation groove 21 is provided on the lower side of the rear end of the cover body 2. Shaft holes 22 are provided on both side walls of the installation groove 21. The hinge seat 11 is fitted into the installation groove 21, and the hinge shafts 12 are passed through the shaft holes 22 to form a rotatable connection, thereby forming the first rotation fulcrum 100. Among them, a first convex seat 13 and a second convex seat 14 are provided on the upper end of the hinge seat 11. Horizontally distributed first through holes 131 and second through holes 141 are provided on both the first convex seat 13 and the second convex seat 14. The two first connecting portions 34 are respectively passed through the first through hole 131 and the second through hole 141 to form a rotatable movable connection, thereby forming the second rotation fulcrum 300, and making the second rotation fulcrum 300 located above the first rotation fulcrum 100.
[0035] A limiting block 23 is formed on the rear side wall of the installation groove 21. An activity groove 231 is formed between the limiting block 23 and the lower side wall of the installation groove 21; the first connecting portion 34 is pressed into the activity groove 231 to form a rotatable movable connection.
[0036] The box body 1 includes an outer shell 101 and an inner shell 102 fixed to the outer shell 101. The inner shell 102 is provided with a receiving cavity 103 for receiving TWS earphones.
[0037] The cover body 2 includes an outer cover 201 and an inner cover 202 fixed to the inner side of the outer cover 201. The inner cover 202 has a concave cavity 203.
[0038] In summary, the present utility model provides a flat spring 3 between the box body 1 and the cover body 2, and the second rotation fulcrum 300 formed by the spring 3 and the box body 1 and the first rotation fulcrum 100 formed by the cover body 2 and the box body 1 are not on the same axis. After the cover body 2 is closed relative to the box body 1, the spring 3 is in a forward-tilted state to tilt and support the rear end of the cover body 2. The elastic force of the spring 3 can drive the front end of the cover body 2 to close relative to the box body 1, achieving the purpose of stable closing, thereby avoiding the phenomenon that the cover body 2 is accidentally opened. It does not require the installation of upper and lower magnets at the corresponding positions of the cover body 2 and the box body 1, saving the use cost of the upper and lower magnets, simplifying the complexity of the product structure, and making the manufacturing cost of the present utility model lower; when the cover body 2 is opened relative to the box body 1, the spring 3 is compressed as the cover body 2 is opened, and when the spring 3 changes from a vertical state to a backward-tilted state, the spring 3 provides an elastic force to drive the cover body 2 to continue to open relative to the box body 1 until the cover body 2 is opened to the extreme position relative to the box body 1, and the spring 3 is in a backward-tilted state to tilt and support the rear end of the cover body 2, so as to support and position the cover body 2 after it is opened relative to the box body 1, thereby achieving the purpose of automatic flipping of the cover, and being able to stably support the opened cover body 2, effectively preventing the phenomenon that the cover body 2 accidentally falls and closes relative to the box body 1, facilitating the placement or removal of the TWS earphone relative to the box body 1, and being extremely convenient to use.
