[0028] The following combination Figure 1-Figure 2 The mobile terminal housing 10 and the translator of the present invention are described.

[0029] The mobile terminal housing 10 provided by the embodiment of the present invention is matched with the mobile terminal 20 for use in translation. The mobile terminal housing 10 includes: a housing 11 , a microphone, a communication module 14 and a signal conversion module 15 .

[0030] The housing 11 has a mounting cavity adapted to accommodate a mobile terminal 20, such as a mobile phone or tablet computer. It should be noted that a clearance opening for the mobile terminal 20 is provided on the housing 11 to ensure convenient operation of the mobile terminal 20. The housing 11 can be made of lightweight, durable plastic or metal alloy.

[0031] The microphone is arranged on the inner side or the outer side of the housing 11, and is used to collect the sound signal of the source language in the surrounding environment and convert it into a corresponding analog signal. The communication module 14 includes a Bluetooth module, Wi-Fi, etc., which is used to establish a wireless communication connection with the mobile terminal 20 and support data transmission. Furthermore, the microphone is electrically connected to the signal conversion module 15, and the signal conversion module 15 receives the analog signal collected and converted by the microphone. The signal conversion module 15 is used to convert the analog signal into a digital signal, and the digital signal is sent to the mobile terminal 20 through the communication module 14. After the mobile terminal 20 receives the digital signal, it can translate the target language through the corresponding APP. The translated content can not only be displayed on the display screen of the mobile terminal 20, but also be played through the speaker, so that the user can quickly understand and process the translated information.

[0032] The mobile terminal housing 10 provided in the embodiment of the present invention can be mounted on the mobile terminal 20 to realize translation. It is simple and convenient to operate and easy to carry, which improves the user's interactive experience in various scenarios and is suitable for various occasions such as meetings and travel.

[0033] Compared with the translation machine in the prior art, the embodiment of the present invention does not have a display screen or a CPU processor. It directly collects the sound signal of the source language, converts it and sends it to the mobile terminal 20, and the APP on the mobile terminal 20 performs the translation. Compared with the traditional translation machine, the embodiment of the present invention has low cost and high scalability.

[0034] Mobile terminal housing 10 also includes a pushbutton switch 16, which is located on housing 11, such as on a sidewall of housing 11, for easy user operation. Pushbutton switch 16 is connected to communication module 14 and is used to control the communication connection between communication module 14 and mobile terminal 20. The user simply presses pushbutton switch 16 to connect or disconnect the mobile terminal 20, simplifying the operation process and improving user convenience. Pushbutton switch 16 can be positioned according to user preferences and can also be located on the back of housing 11.

[0035] Furthermore, in order to facilitate user operation, the embodiment of the utility model is provided with a button opening on the side wall of the shell 11, and the button switch 16 is provided on the inner side of the shell 11. The button switch 16 is embedded in the button opening. The user can directly press the button switch 16 to control the connection and disconnection of the communication module 14 and the mobile terminal 20.

[0036] The housing 11 of this embodiment also features a microphone port. A microphone is located inside the housing 11, corresponding to the port. This allows the microphone to directly capture surrounding audio signals in the source language, resulting in excellent sound transmission. The port's dimensions can be flexibly adjusted based on the microphone's size to ensure optimal audio signal capture. The placement of the microphone and port can be tailored to the user's preferences, ensuring clear audio transmission during conversations or recordings.

[0037] In one embodiment, the microphone includes a first microphone 12 and a second microphone 13. The first microphone 12 is disposed at the upper portion of the housing 11, such as the top of the housing 11 and the upper portion of the side wall of the housing 11, and is used to collect the endogenous language sound signal of the first area (near the first microphone 12). The second microphone 13 is disposed at the lower portion of the housing 11, such as the bottom of the housing 11 and the lower portion of the side wall of the housing 11, and is used to collect the endogenous language sound signal of the second area (near the second microphone 13). Figure 1 As shown, the first microphone 12 is located at the top center of the housing 11, and the second microphone 13 is located at the bottom center of the housing 11. During a multi-person conversation, comprehensive collection can be achieved to ensure that sound signals from different directions can be clearly captured.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present invention, there may be multiple first microphones 12 and multiple second microphones 13 to cover a wider range of sound sources and improve the ability to collect low-frequency or long-distance sounds.

[0039] The mobile terminal housing 10 provided in the embodiment of the present invention further includes a power module 17. The microphone, communication module 14, and signal conversion module 15 are respectively connected to the power module 17 for power supply. The power module 17 can be a lithium battery to ensure stable and long-lasting power support.

[0040] The housing 11 is provided with a charging port 18, through which the power module 17 can be electrically connected to a power supply device. The charging port 18 is adapted to the charging terminal of the power supply device to charge the power module 17. The power module 17 is also provided with an indicator light, and a corresponding through-hole is provided on the housing 11. The indicator light provides feedback on the power level of the power module 17. If the power level is low, it will be red, and if the power level is sufficient, it will be green, making it easier for the user to check and enhancing the user experience.

[0041] In one embodiment, a magnetic charging terminal is provided on the shell 11, one end of the magnetic charging terminal is electrically connected to the power module 17, and the other end of the magnetic charging terminal is used to magnetically connect to the power supply device. The user only needs to bring the power supply device close to the magnetic charging terminal to quickly connect and realize charging, which is more convenient.

[0042] like Figure 2As shown, an embodiment of the present invention also provides a translation machine, including the mobile terminal housing 10 in any of the above embodiments, and also including a mobile terminal 20. The mobile terminal housing 10 includes a shell 11, a microphone, a communication module 14 and a signal conversion module 15. The shell 11 is provided with an installation cavity, and the mobile terminal 20 is installed in the installation cavity. The microphone is used to collect the sound signal of the source language in the surrounding environment and convert it into an analog signal. The signal conversion module 15 converts the analog signal into a digital signal. The digital signal is sent to the mobile terminal 20 through the communication module 14. After receiving the digital signal, the mobile terminal 20 translates it into the target language and displays it on the display screen or plays it on the speaker.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
