[0041] In one embodiment, in order to solve the problem of miniaturization of the test equipment and portability, Figure 1 The present invention provides an earphone testing device, comprising a housing 10, wherein a top wall of the housing 10 is provided with a first receiving groove 101 and a second receiving groove 102 adjacent to each other along the X-axis direction thereof, and an adjacent third receiving groove 103 is provided at one end of the first receiving groove 101 along the Y-axis direction thereof;

[0042] An earphone jack 104 is provided on a side wall of the housing 10 close to the first receiving slot 101 ; and the second receiving slot 102 , the third receiving slot 103 and the earphone jack 104 are all in communication with the first receiving slot 101 ;

[0044] The circuit board is electrically connected to the switch, the power supply, and the headphone jack 104 respectively.

[0045] It should be noted that the earphone in this embodiment is preferably an aviation earphone, and the plug of the aviation earphone is correspondingly inserted into the earphone jack 104 .

[0046] Therefore, in this embodiment, the first receiving groove 101 for installing the circuit board, the second receiving groove 102 for installing the power supply, and the third receiving groove 103 for installing the switch are arranged adjacently and compactly, and the circuit board is vertically installed in the first receiving groove 101 to reduce the space occupied by the shell 10, thereby making the entire headphone testing equipment smaller and easier to carry.

[0047] In order to ensure the test function of the earphone test equipment proposed in this embodiment, refer to the attached Figure 4 , this embodiment proposes a circuit board structure:

[0048] The circuit board includes a power amplifier unit 111, an isolation unit 112, a filter unit 113, an indication unit 114, an RC unit 115, a first connector H1 connected to the headphone jack 104, a second connector H2 connected to the switch, and a third connector H3 connected to the power supply;

[0049] The power amplifier unit 111 includes an amplifier chip U1 and a capacitor C2; the isolation unit 112 includes an adjustable resistor R2, a resistor R3, a capacitor C4, and a capacitor C6; the filter unit 113 includes a capacitor C1 and a capacitor C3; the indicator unit 114 includes a light-emitting diode LED1 and a resistor R1; the RC unit 115 includes a capacitor C5 and a resistor R4;

[0050] A capacitor C2 is connected in series between pins 1 and 8 of the amplifier chip U1. Pin 3 of the amplifier chip U1 is connected to the center tap end of the adjustable resistor R2. The first end of the adjustable resistor R2 is connected to the first end of the capacitor C6. The second end of the capacitor C6 and the first end of the resistor R3 are both connected to pin 3 of the first connector H1. Pin 1 of the first connector H1 is connected to the first end of the capacitor C4. The second end of the capacitor C4 and the positive electrode of the capacitor C5 are both connected to pin 5 of the amplifier chip U1. The negative electrode of the capacitor C5 is connected to the first end of the resistor R4.

[0051] Pin 6 of the amplifier chip U1 is connected to the second end of the resistor R3, the positive electrode of the capacitor C1, the positive electrode of the light-emitting diode LED1, and pin 1 of the second connector H2, respectively. Pin 2 of the second connector H2 and pin 1 of the third connector H3 are both connected to pin VCC. The cathode of the light-emitting diode LED1 is connected to the first end of the resistor R1.

[0052] Pin 7 of the amplifier chip U1 is connected to the first end of the capacitor C3;

[0053] The second end of the resistor R1, the second end of the adjustable resistor R2, the second end of the resistor R4, the negative electrode of the capacitor C1, the second end of the capacitor C3, pins 2 and 4 of the first connector H1, pin 2 of the third connector H3, and pins 2 and 4 of the amplifier chip U1 are all grounded.

[0054] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first connector H1 is preferably a four-pin terminal block, and the first connector H1 is connected to the four pins of the headphone jack 104 through wires; the second connector H2 and the third connector H3 are preferably two-pin terminal blocks, and the second connector H2 is connected to the two pins of the switch through wires, and the third connector H3 is connected to the two pins (positive and negative poles) of the power supply through wires.

[0055] Because if the aviation headset fails to make sound during the flight, it will lead to the following consequences:

[0056] (1) Pilots cannot hear their own voices and may doubt their own voice output, which in turn affects the effectiveness of communication with air traffic control (ATC) or other crew members.

[0057] (2) Pilots’ hesitation or repeated sending of information due to not being able to hear their own voices may delay the decision-making process and increase flight safety risks.

[0058] (3) Because pilots cannot confirm whether their instructions have been conveyed correctly, they may repeat instructions or take other remedial measures, which may lead to unnecessary misunderstandings or operational errors.

[0059] Therefore, it is very necessary to test aviation headsets. The testing process is as follows:

[0060] When the aviation headset needs to be tested before use, the tester first presses the switch of the headset test device, and the light-emitting diode LED1 lights up, so that the entire headset test device starts normally. Then the tester inserts the plug of the aviation headset to be tested into the corresponding headphone jack 104, and then puts on the aviation headset to be tested for testing. In this way, the headset test device can simulate the flight environment to test whether the aviation headset can receive the sound of the user's own speech in the simulated flight environment. If the tester cannot hear the sound of his own speech in the aviation headset, it means that the aviation headset has a sound loss fault and needs to be repaired; if the tester can hear the sound of his own speech in the aviation headset, it means that the aviation headset has not suffered a sound loss fault and the aviation headset can be used normally.

[0061] It should be noted that the power amplifier unit 111 in the circuit board can amplify the audio signal received by the headphone test equipment to a level that can be received and played by the aviation headset, and the capacitor C2 is used to select the circuit gain multiple; the model of the amplifier chip U1 in this embodiment is illustrated by an 8-pin LM386 chip, and pin 1 of the LM386 chip is the GAIN pin, pin 2 of the LM386 chip is the -IN PUT pin, pin 3 of the LM386 chip is the +IN PUT pin, pin 4 of the LM386 chip is the GND pin, pin 5 of the LM386 chip is the VOUT pin, pin 6 of the LM386 chip is the VS pin, pin 7 of the LM386 chip is the BYP pin, and pin 8 of the LM386 chip is the GAIN pin.

[0062] Isolation unit 112 is used to ensure that there is no direct electrical connection between the input and output signals of the aviation headset, thereby avoiding self-oscillation and preventing the signal from generating unnecessary feedback or interference inside the headset test equipment; and capacitor C4 is used to isolate the DC portion of the power output to avoid burning out the speaker; capacitor C6 is used to isolate the DC portion of the audio signal.

[0063] The filter unit 113 can remove noise or unnecessary frequency components to ensure signal purity; the capacitor C1 plays a filtering role, and the capacitor C3 is used to filter out noise to avoid noise caused by bias voltage jumps during power-on and power-off.

[0064] The indication unit 114 is used to indicate the power supply status of the headphone test device; that is, if the light-emitting diode LED1 is on, it indicates that the headphone test device is working normally, and if the light-emitting diode LED1 is off, it indicates that the headphone test device is abnormal and needs to be repaired in time.

[0065] The RC unit 115 is used to compensate for the phase difference generated when the speaker coil passes the AC signal, thereby preventing the power amplifier unit 111 from self-excitation due to positive feedback.

[0066] In order to protect the components in the housing 10, please refer to the attached Figure 1-2 The testing device further includes a top cover 20 , which can be matched and covered on the top wall of the housing 10 .

[0067] It should be noted that the top cover 20 is provided with six first stud holes 204 along its edge, and the shell 10 is provided with second stud holes 105 corresponding to the first stud holes 204. In this way, when the top cover 20 is matched and covered on the top wall of the shell 10, the six bolts are inserted into the first stud holes 204 and the corresponding second stud holes 105 in sequence to prevent the top cover 20 from falling.

[0068] In order to facilitate the tester to press the switch, refer to the attached Figure 2-3 , the top cover 20 is provided with an assembly through hole 201 corresponding to the switch;

[0069] When the top cover 20 is matched with the housing 10 , the switch can extend out of the assembly through hole 201 .

[0070] In order to facilitate the replacement of the power supply so that the headphone test equipment can operate normally, please refer to the attached Figure 2-3 The top cover 20 is further provided with a battery cover hole 202 corresponding to the power supply, and the battery cover hole 202 is provided with a battery cover plate 203 that is matched and snapped in place therewith.

[0071] Among them, refer to the attached Figure 2-3 The top cover 20 further includes an observation hole 205 corresponding to the LED 1. This hole is used to observe whether the LED 1 is illuminated. A stopper 206 is also provided on the side of the hole 205 facing the LED 1. This stopper 206 is used to secure the LED 1 and prevent it from deviating from the hole 205, which would hinder observation of the headphone tester's operating status.

[0072] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. The preferred embodiments of the present invention are given in the accompanying drawings, but they do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. The present invention can be implemented in many different forms.
