A terminal wire 6 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the microphone 4, which is responsible for transmitting the sound signal collected by the microphone 4 or receiving power and control signals from the circuit board 3. A limiting ring 7 is fitted around the outer wall of the terminal wire 6. The limiting ring 7 is located between the lower housing 1 and the upper housing 2, and its function is to fix the position of the terminal wire 6 and prevent it from shaking or shifting and affecting signal transmission. A noise reduction component is installed inside the upper housing 2 to further reduce wind noise interference. A locking component is provided between the lower housing 1 and the upper housing 2 to facilitate the installation and fixation of the upper and lower housings.

[0024] The noise reduction assembly includes an L-shaped plate 8, one side of which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the upper housing 2. A buffer cavity 9 is provided between the L-shaped plate 8 and the lower housing 1. The buffer cavity 9 buffers the air before it enters the pickup area, reducing wind speed and wind noise. A pickup hole 10 is provided through the interior of the upper housing 2, which is connected to the buffer cavity 9 and serves as the channel for external sound to enter the microphone 4. The locking assembly includes a sealing edge 14, one side of which is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the upper housing 2. The outer wall of the sealing edge 14 is slidably connected to the interior of the lower housing 1. Its function is to enhance the sealing of the connection between the upper and lower housings and prevent external dust, moisture, etc. from entering the interior and affecting the performance of the components. A locking block 15 is fixedly connected to the side of the upper housing 2 away from the sealing edge 14. A locking groove 16 is provided inside the lower housing 1. The outer wall of the locking block 15 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the locking groove 16. The locking block 15 is used to connect the lower housing 1 and the upper housing 2, making the connection tight and easy to assemble.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3A sealing assembly is installed on the outer wall of the L-shaped plate 8. Multiple support blocks 17 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the lower housing 1. These support blocks 17 support the microphone 4, ensuring its stable installation within the housing. A fastening assembly is installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the lower housing 1. Limit seats 22 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the inner wall of the upper housing 2. The outer wall of the limit seats 22 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the lower housing 1, serving a positioning and guiding function during assembly of the upper and lower housings. Support blocks 28 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lower housing 1, positioned on the lower surface of the microphone 4, and together with support blocks 17, support the microphone 4. Fixing blocks 21 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both the lower housing 1 and the upper housing 2. The outer walls of the two fixing blocks 21 are attached to the outer wall of the terminal wire 6, fixing the terminal wire 6 and preventing it from moving freely within the housing. The sealing assembly includes an extension block 11, whose outer wall is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the L-shaped plate 8. An installation block 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lower housing 1. A limiting groove 13 is formed inside the installation block 12. The outer wall of the extension block 11 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 13. The limiting groove 13 is used to achieve a seal, enhancing the sealing performance of the buffer chamber 9 and further reducing wind noise. The fastening assembly includes a threaded seat 19, whose lower surface is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the lower housing 1. A fastening bolt 20 is threaded inside the threaded seat 19. The fastening bolt 20 can fix or adjust some internal components by cooperating with the threaded seat 19, ensuring their stability within the housing. Multiple mounting plates 23 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lower housing 1. The mounting plates 23 are used to mount the lower housing 1, facilitating the installation of the microphone module onto other devices or brackets.

[0026] Working principle: When installing the microphone module, first place the circuit board 3 on top of support block 17 and support block 28. Then, fix the circuit board 3 by passing the fastening bolt 20 through the threaded seat 19 to stabilize the circuit board 3. Next, the limiting ring 7 on one side of the terminal wire 6 is engaged between the lower housing 1 and the upper housing 2 to protect the terminal wire 6. Then, insert the upper housing 2 into the upper housing 2 through the limiting seat 22. Finally, the sealing edge 14 is engaged to achieve quick positioning and installation of the upper housing 2. At the same time, the locking block 15 will engage. The upper housing 2 is quickly fixed by the inner wall of the slot 16. Then, the extension block 11 is inserted into the inner wall of the limiting slot 13 by the L-shaped plate 8, thus achieving a sealing effect. When the microphone module is used for sound pickup, the airflow and sound are collected through the pickup hole 10 and enter the buffer cavity 9. The L-shaped plate 8 reduces the impact of the airflow, thus weakening the airflow and transmitting it to the microphone 4 side, thereby achieving the effect of reducing noise and picking up sound. The sound is then collected by the microphone 4 and processed by the low-pass filter 5, thereby further reducing wind noise.

[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
