[0041] Typically, a headphone charging case consists of a body and a lid. The lid connects to the body, forming a compartment that matches the shape of the headphones to secure and accommodate them. When the headphones are in the compartment, the charging case charges them. The lid can move relative to the body to open the compartment and allow the headphones to be removed and placed.

[0042] Typically, the case and lid are rotatably connected on one side, and the other side of the case and lid are opened and closed using a buckle. For example, the case and lid of traditional TMS (True Wireless Stereo) headphones use a hinge and spring connection to enable the lid to rotate relative to the case. However, this rotatable connection is complex, requiring cumbersome assembly, and the hinge is prone to wear, producing unusual noises that affect the user experience.

[0043] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides an earphone charging box, wherein a switch assembly is provided between the two box bodies to achieve locking and unlocking between the two box bodies; a connecting assembly is also provided between the two box bodies to achieve connection between the two box bodies, and the connecting assembly is constructed to increase the distance between the two box bodies along a straight line when the two box bodies are unlocked to open the earphone compartment. The earphone charging box of the embodiment of the present application opens by linear movement, with a simple structure and assembly, which helps to improve assembly efficiency and reduce production costs; it avoids abnormal noise caused by wear of the shaft structure, and the simple linear movement method helps to extend the service life of the earphone charging box.

[0044] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present application, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0045] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the headphone kit during assembly provided by an embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the earphone kit when it is separated provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0046] First, it should be noted that, from the perspective shown in the drawings, the X-axis direction is the left-right direction, the Y-axis direction is the front-back direction, and the Z-axis direction is the up-down direction.

[0047] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment of the present application provides an earphone kit, which includes: an earphone 500 and an earphone charging box, and the earphone 500 can be matched and accommodated in the earphone charging box.

[0048] In the accompanying drawings, it is shown that a single-ear earphone can be matched and accommodated in the earphone charging box; but this is not restrictive. The earphone kit of the embodiment of the present application can also be a dual-ear earphone that can be matched and accommodated in the earphone charging box at the same time.

[0049] In some embodiments, the earphones 500 are bone conduction earphones.

[0050] The housing portion of the earphone charging box of the embodiment of the present application may include a first portion and a second portion, which together enclose an earphone compartment 101 to accommodate and confine the earphones 500. The first portion may be a box body or a cover, and the second portion may be a box body or the like, as long as the first portion and the second portion can together enclose the earphone compartment 101.

[0051] In some embodiments, the earphone compartment 101 is a closed chamber, which is conducive to protecting the earphone 500; in other embodiments, the earphone compartment 101 is an open chamber, which is convenient for taking and placing the earphone 500.

[0052] For example, the front side and the left and right sides of the earphone compartment 101 of the embodiment of the present application are all open to facilitate the taking and placing of the earphone 500.

[0053] The charging case contains a charging assembly for charging the earphones in the earphone compartment 101. The case also has a charging port 202 for charging the internal charging assembly. In the accompanying drawings, the charging port 202 is located on the right side, but this does not limit the location of the charging port 202. The charging port 202 can be located on any side of the case, such as the back or bottom.

[0054] Combine Figure 2 The earphone charging box of the embodiment of the present application includes: a first box body 100, a second box body 200, a connecting component 300 and a switch component 400.

[0055] The first box body 100 and the second box body 200 are arranged along a first direction. In the orientation shown in the drawings, the first box body 100 and the second box body 200 are arranged along the height direction (corresponding to the Z-axis direction in the drawings), and the first box body 100 and the second box body 200 together enclose the earphone compartment 101. In this case, the first direction is the Z-axis direction. The shape of the earphone compartment 101 matches the shape of the earphones 500. When the earphone charging box is closed, the earphones 500 can be stably accommodated in the earphone compartment 101 without falling out.

[0056] In the disclosed embodiment, a portion of the edge of the first case 100 and a portion of the edge of the second case 200 are separated when the switch assembly 400 is closed, making the earphone compartment 101 an open earphone compartment. This arrangement not only facilitates the removal and placement of the earphones 500, but also improves the aesthetics of the earphones 500. Part of the earphones 500 can be located outside the earphone compartment 101, which helps reduce the overall size of the earphone charging case. Furthermore, the open earphone compartment allows the user to directly observe whether the earphones 500 are inside the earphone compartment 101, reducing the frequency of earphone loss.

[0057] In the attached Figure 1 In the orientation shown, the front edges and left and right edges of the first box body 100 and the second box body 200 are spaced apart so that openings are formed on the front side and left and right sides of the earphone compartment 101.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present application, the first box body 100 is provided as an upper cover on the second box body 200 . The second box body 200 is located below the first box body 100 , and a charging component is provided in the second box body 200 .

[0059] The switch assembly 400 is connected between the first box body 100 and the second box body 200 to open and close the earphone compartment 101. The switch assembly 400 is connected to the edges of the first box body 100 and the second box body 200 to avoid affecting the space of the earphone compartment 101.

[0060] The switch assembly 400 has an on state and a off state. When the switch assembly 400 is in the off state, the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 define an earphone compartment 101 for accommodating the earphones 500. In this case, the earphones 500 are fixed in the earphone compartment 101. When the switch assembly 400 is in the on state, the earphone compartment 101 is opened, and the earphones 500 can be removed from the earphone compartment 101 or placed in the earphone compartment 101.

[0061] The connecting assembly 300 is connected between the first and second housings 100, 200, and is used to enable relative movement between the first and second housings 100, 200, along a first direction, thereby opening the earphone compartment 101. The connecting assembly 300 is connected to the edges of the first and second housings 100, 200 to avoid affecting the space in the earphone compartment 101.

[0062] In some embodiments, the switch assembly 400 and the connection assembly 300 are both located at the rear edge of the earphone compartment 101. Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the earphone 500 is placed in the earphone compartment 101, the earphone 500 can cover the switch component 400 and the connecting component 300, which is beneficial to improving the regularity of the appearance of the earphone kit, and can also avoid the structure of the switch component 400 and the connecting component 300 protruding from the surface of the earphone charging box to cause erroneous operation.

[0063] The connection assembly 300 is configured to drive the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 to move away from each other in a first direction to open the earphone compartment 101 when the switch assembly 400 is in the open state. Specifically, the connection assembly 300 can drive the first housing 100 to move away from the second housing 200 in the first direction to open the earphone compartment 101; alternatively, the connection assembly 300 can drive the second housing 200 to move away from the first housing 100 in the first direction to open the earphone compartment 101; alternatively, the connection assembly 300 can simultaneously drive the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 to move away from each other in the first direction to achieve movement of the earphone compartment 101.

[0064] In some possible implementations, a plurality of connection components 300 are provided, and the plurality of connection components 300 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the earphone compartment 101 to improve the reliability and stability of the connection between the first box body 100 and the second box body 200.

[0065] For example, two connecting assemblies 300 are provided and spaced apart along the length of the earphone compartment 101; the switch assembly 400 is provided between the two connecting assemblies 300. This arrangement can not only ensure the reliability and stability of the connection between the first box body 100 and the second box body 200, but also use the switch assembly 400 between the two connecting assemblies 300 to simultaneously limit the two connecting assemblies 300.

[0066] Optionally, the switch assembly 400 is located in the middle of the two connecting assemblies 300 to ensure the balance of the restraining force on the two connecting assemblies 300 on both sides and the balance of the switch operation.

[0067] Thus, the earphone charging case of the embodiment of the present application is connected between the first case body 100 and the second case body 200 via the connecting assembly 300, and a switch assembly 400 is provided between the first case body 100 and the second case body 200. When the switch assembly 400 is in the closed state, the first case body 100 and the second case body 200 define an earphone compartment 101 for accommodating the earphones 500. When the switch assembly 400 is in the open state, the earphone compartment 101 is opened, facilitating the removal and placement of the earphones 500. Furthermore, when the switch assembly 400 is in the open state, the connecting assembly 300 drives the first case body 100 and the second case body 200 to move relative to each other in a first direction, thereby increasing the gap between the first case body 100 and the second case body 200 and opening the earphone compartment 101. The earphone charging case of the embodiment of the present application utilizes a linear movement to open the lid, which is not only simple in structure and assembly, but also helps improve assembly efficiency and reduce production costs. It also avoids abnormal noise caused by wear of the rotating shaft structure. The simple linear movement method helps extend the service life of the earphone charging case.

[0068] Figure 3 An exploded view of the earphone charging box provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 4 A schematic structural diagram of the first box body of the earphone charging box provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 5 A front view of the earphone charging box provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 6 for Figure 5 AA section view in.

[0069] Combine Figure 3 、 Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 The second case body 200 of the embodiment of the present application includes a first half shell 210 and a second half shell 220. The first half shell 210 and the second half shell 220 are fixedly connected to form a receiving chamber 201. The receiving chamber 201 is used to accommodate the charging components of the earphone charging case and at least part of the connecting assembly 300. The first half shell 210 and the second half shell 220 can be connected by snapping, interference, etc.

[0070] The earphone charging case of this embodiment of the application also includes a charging assembly 600, which is installed in the storage compartment 201. A charging port 202 is formed on the second half shell 220. The connector of the charging port 202, such as a Type-C connector, is electrically connected to the charging assembly 600, so that the user can charge the charging assembly 600 through the charging port 202.

[0071] Combine Figure 5 and Figure 6 The charging assembly 600 includes a circuit board 610, a spring pin 620, and a battery. The battery is electrically connected to the charging port 202 and is charged through the charging port 202; the battery is used to store electricity. The spring pin 620 is mounted on the circuit board 610, and at least a portion of the spring pin 620 extends out of the first housing 210 and is located within the earphone compartment 101. Thus, when the earphones 500 are placed in the earphone compartment 101, the charging portion of the earphones 500 abuts the spring pin 620, establishing an electrical connection. The circuit board 610 controls the battery to charge the earphones 500.

[0072] The number of the elastic pins 620 is greater than or equal to two. For example, there are two elastic pins 620 ; for another example, there are four elastic pins 620 .

[0073] Combine Figure 4 The first box body 100 of the embodiment of the present application includes an integrally formed cover 110 and a side wall 120, wherein the side wall 120 is provided at the edge of the cover 110 and is located on the side of the cover 110 facing the second box body 200. In the orientation shown in the drawings, the side wall 120 is located on the rear side of the cover 110.

[0074] The first box body 100 of the embodiment of the present application forms an earphone compartment 101 for clamping the earphone 500 by setting a first cover body 110 and cooperating with the second box body 200; and the switch assembly 400 is installed on one side of the first box body 100 by setting a side wall 120.

[0075] Continue to refer to Figure 3 The connecting assembly 300 includes a guide post 310 and a first elastic member 320. The first elastic member 320 is sleeved on the outside of the guide post 310. The first elastic member 320 can be a spring or an elastic sleeve such as a rubber sleeve. When the switch assembly 400 is closed, the first elastic member 320 is compressed between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, exerting a compressive force. The first elastic member 320 is located inside the earphone compartment 101.

[0076] The two ends of the guide column 310 are respectively connected to the first box body 100 and the second box body 200. In the orientation shown in the accompanying drawings, the guide column 310 extends in the height direction, the top end of the guide column 310 is connected to the first box body 100, and the bottom end of the guide column 310 is connected to the second box body 200.

[0077] The portion of the guide post 310 located within the earphone compartment 101 is configured to be retractable, allowing the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 to move relative to each other in a first direction. When the portion of the guide post 310 located within the earphone compartment 101 is shortened, the gap between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 is reduced, and the switch assembly 400 is closed, closing the earphone compartment 101. When the portion of the guide post 310 located within the earphone compartment 101 is extended, the gap between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 is increased, and the switch assembly 400 is opened, opening the earphone compartment 101.

[0078] Thus, when the switch assembly 400 is in the open state, the compressed first elastic member 320 of the connecting assembly 300 is released and extended, causing the portion of the guide post 310 located within the earphone compartment 101 to extend, thereby causing the first and second housings 100, 200 to move away from each other in the first direction to open the earphone compartment 101. This arrangement simplifies opening the earphone compartment 101 and simplifies the connection structure between the first and second housings 100, 200, thereby improving assembly efficiency, reducing product costs, and avoiding abnormal noise caused by the complex structure of the hinge connection.

[0079] Of course, when the earphone compartment 101 needs to be closed, the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 move toward each other in the first direction, causing the switch assembly 400 to switch from the open state to the closed state. During this process, the portion of the guide post 310 located within the earphone compartment 101 shortens, and the first elastic member 320 is compressed between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200.

[0080] The portion of the guide column 310 located in the earphone compartment 101 is constructed to be retractable, and there are various situations. For example, at least one end of the guide column 310 is slidably connected relative to the box body, and under the action of the first elastic member 320, the portion of the guide column 310 located in the earphone compartment 101 can be extended or shortened; for another example, the guide column 310 itself is a telescopic rod structure, and under the action of the first elastic member 320, the guide column 310 itself can be extended or shortened; for another example, at least part of the guide column 310 is elastic, so that the portion located in the earphone compartment 101 can be extended or shortened.

[0081] In some implementations, at least one end of the guide column 310 is slidably connected to the first box body 100 or the second box body 200 so that the portion of the guide column 310 located in the earphone compartment 101 is extended or shortened.
