Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wireless earphone testing, in particular to a testing device for the ear-in and touch functions of wireless earphones. Background Technique

[0002] In existing wireless earphones, for the sake of convenience and improving the user experience, they are equipped with an ear-in function and a touch function. The ear-in function is specifically as follows: when the user wears the wireless earphone into the ear, the wireless earphone will perform corresponding preset actions, such as playing music; when the user takes out the wireless earphone, the wireless earphone also performs corresponding preset actions, such as pausing the music playback. The touch function is specifically as follows: when the user performs a touch operation at a specified position on the wireless earphone, the wireless earphone will perform corresponding actions. For example, when the user touches and clicks the wireless earphone, the wireless earphone will increase the volume, and when the user touches and double-clicks, the wireless earphone will decrease the volume. The above ear-in function is mainly completed by a capacitive ear-in sensor arranged inside the wireless earphone. The capacitive ear-in sensor has a detection position on the outer side wall of the earphone head of the wireless earphone. When the ear-in occurs, the human ear touches the detection position, and the capacitive ear-in sensor will detect the capacitance change, so as to judge whether the wireless earphone is in the ear-in state or the ear-out state, and thus make the wireless earphone perform corresponding actions. The above touch function is mainly completed by a capacitive touch sensor arranged inside the wireless earphone. The capacitive touch sensor has a detection position on the outer side wall of the earphone rod of the wireless earphone. When the detection position is subjected to the user's touch operation, the capacitive touch sensor detects the capacitance change, and the wireless earphone makes corresponding actions according to different capacitance change values.

[0003] In the prior art, the testing of the ear-in function and the touch function of wireless earphones is generally completed by manual operation, with low testing efficiency and low automation degree, which seriously affects the production efficiency of wireless earphones.

[0034] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , a wireless earphone ear-in and touch function test device provided by the present utility model is used to test a wireless earphone.
