[0025] The microphone main body 1 is made of aluminum alloy or carbon fiber material; aluminum alloy has the characteristics of light, durable, corrosion-resistant, etc., ensures that the microphone structure is firm and convenient to carry; carbon fiber is more light, and has excellent wear resistance and impact resistance, and is very suitable for the shell design of high-end products.

[0026] 2, the integral type button area 2,

[0027] The integral type button area 2 is integrally formed with the microphone main body 1, and the surface of the integral type button area 2 is seamlessly connected to the microphone main body 1; the integral type button area 2 is made of flexible material and comprises a plurality of touch buttons.

[0028] The plurality of touch buttons can be slightly deformed, therefore, it is usually necessary to select a material with certain flexibility and elasticity, such material can deform when pressed, provide good operation feeling, and restore to original shape after release, ensure the durability of long-term use.

[0029] The flexible material of the integrated key area 2 includes silica gel and thermoplastic elastomer.

[0030] Silica gel is one of the most commonly used flexible materials, which has good elasticity and plasticity, can slightly deform when pressed, and quickly recover to the original shape when released.

[0031] Thermoplastic elastomer TPE has the flexibility of rubber and the processability of plastic, can deform when pressed, and quickly recover after release, with good elasticity.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, the flexible material of the integrated key area 2 is manufactured by a molding process, ensuring seamless connection of the integrated key area 2 with the microphone body 1, improving the overall appearance and sealing of the microphone.

[0033] There is no gap or joint between the surface of the integrated key area 2 and the microphone body 1, forming a complete and continuous appearance, which makes the entire device look more simple and smooth. The seamless structure can effectively prevent dust, dirt and liquid from entering the interior of the device, protecting the internal components and prolonging the service life of the device; and the seamless design provides a smooth touch, improving the comfort of the user during operation.

[0034] In an optional embodiment, the integrated key area 2 includes at least: a volume increase touch key 21, a volume decrease touch key 22, and a power touch key 23.

[0035] Of course, it can also include mode switching touch keys, mute touch keys, playback touch keys, play touch keys, reverb effect adjustment touch keys, environment sound adjustment touch keys, bass enhancement touch keys; the present application does not limit this.

[0036] By setting multiple touch keys, the user can achieve different functional controls by touching different touch keys of the microphone.

[0037] 3, a pressure sensing module 3,

[0038] Integrated in the microphone body 1, the pressure sensing module 3 includes a plurality of pressure sensors, respectively distributed below different touch keys, one-to-one corresponding electrical connection with multiple touch keys, for detecting the pressure signal applied by the user on different touch keys, to realize volume adjustment, function switching and power control of the microphone.

[0039] The pressure sensing module 3 includes a plurality of independent pressure sensors, respectively distributed below different touch keys, i.e. multiple touch keys and multiple pressure sensors are one-to-one corresponding, which makes the device able to detect the pressure applied by the user at different positions, thereby realizing multi-functional control.

[0040] When the user applies pressure to the touch key, the flexible material of the touch key will deform slightly, and the pressure sensor corresponding to the touch key can sense the pressure signal applied by the user, thereby controlling the microphone to perform corresponding operations, such as volume adjustment, function switching, and power control.

[0041] It should be noted that the user only needs to lightly touch the touch key to achieve control, and the operation is more intuitive and convenient.

[0042] 4. A signal processing module,

[0043] The signal processing module is arranged in the microphone main body 1, and is electrically connected with the pressure sensing module 3, for receiving the pressure signal from the touch key and converting it into a control signal to send to the control unit 4, so as to realize volume adjustment, function switching, and power control of the microphone.

[0044] The signal processing module is responsible for receiving the pressure signal from the pressure sensing module 3 and converting it into a control signal to send to the control unit 4, so that the control unit 4 controls the microphone to perform corresponding operations: volume adjustment, function switching, and power control.

[0045] In an optional embodiment, the pressure sensor under the current touch key can detect different pressure signals applied by the user on the current touch key, and perform different control operations according to different pressure signals.

[0046] The operation process of the present application will be described below through a specific embodiment:

[0047] Taking an integrated key area 2 including three touch keys as an example, specifically: a volume increase touch key 21, a volume decrease touch key 22, and a power touch key 23.

[0048] When the user short-presses the volume increase touch key 21, the pressure sensor distributed below the volume increase touch key 21 detects the pressure signal applied by the user on the volume increase touch key 21 and sends the pressure signal to the signal processing module to convert the pressure signal into a control signal (i.e. a volume increase control signal), and sends the control signal to the control unit 4 to control the control unit 4 to increase the volume according to the control signal; when the user long-presses the volume increase touch key 21, the reverberation effect function is switched.

[0049] When the user short presses the volume decrease touch button 22, the pressure sensor distributed below the volume decrease touch button 22 detects the pressure signal applied by the user on the volume increase touch button 21 and sends the pressure signal to the signal processing module to convert the pressure signal into a control signal (i.e. a volume decrease control signal), and sends the control signal to the control unit 4 to control the volume decrease according to the control signal; when the user long presses the volume decrease touch button 22, the reverb effect function is switched on;

[0050] When the user clicks the power touch button 23 and the microphone is in the closed state at this time, the pressure sensor distributed below the power touch button 23 detects the pressure signal applied by the user on the power touch button 23 and sends the pressure signal to the signal processing module to convert the pressure signal into a control signal (i.e. an opening control signal), and sends the control signal to the control unit 4 to control the microphone to open according to the control signal; when the user clicks the power touch button 23 again and the microphone is in the open state at this time, the pressure sensor distributed below the power touch button 23 detects the pressure signal applied by the user on the power touch button 23 and sends the pressure signal to the signal processing module to convert the pressure signal into a control signal (i.e. a closing control signal), and sends the control signal to the control unit 4 to control the microphone to close according to the control signal.

[0051] In a preferred embodiment, the short pressing time is 0.2-0.5s, and the long pressing time is more than 0.5s. It should be noted that the short pressing time and the long pressing time are not limited in the utility model.

[0052] Further, the utility model can also adjust the increase or decrease of the volume by light pressing, and realize the reverb effect of the microphone by heavy pressing; the microphone is opened by light pressing, and the microphone is closed by heavy pressing; the pressing mode of the touch button is not limited in the utility model.

[0053] 5, micro vibrator,

[0054] Each touch button of the integral key area 2 is provided with a micro vibrator, and the micro vibrator is connected with the control unit 4, used for receiving the driving signal sent by the control unit 4 and generating vibration.

[0055] The micro vibrator includes an ERM vibrator and an LRA vibrator; wherein the ERM vibrator generates vibration through rotating unbalanced mass, and the LRA vibrator generates more accurate vibration through linear reciprocating motion.

[0056] When the user applies pressure on the current touch key, the pressure sensor under the current touch key detects the intensity of the touch and transmits a pressure signal to the signal processing module of the device. After receiving the pressure signal, the signal processing module generates a corresponding control signal after processing, and transmits the control signal to the control unit 4. The control unit 4 generates a corresponding driving signal to the micro-vibrator under the current touch key, thereby triggering the micro-vibrator to vibrate and feed back.

[0057] Further, the microphone can adjust the feedback intensity or feedback duration of the vibration by the sensed pressure intensity or pressure duration. For example, a lighter touch produces a slight vibration, and a heavier touch produces a more intense vibration feedback; a shorter touch produces a short time vibration, and a longer touch produces a long time vibration feedback.

[0058] The present application designs a micro-vibrator to ensure that the user can obtain instant vibration feedback during touch operation, thereby improving the intuitiveness and operation confirmation of user experience.

[0059] In a preferred embodiment, the height of the touch key is lower than the height of the integrated key area 2, and the height of the touch key is not more than 0.8mm.

[0060] The present application specifies the height of the touch key to ensure that the design of the touch key conforms to the ergonomic principle and the operation feels comfortable; the height limitation can enhance the user's touch accuracy, making it easy for the user to find the touch key position.

[0061] In an optional embodiment, the surface of the touch key of the integrated key area 2 is provided with a micro-texture structure.

[0062] The micro-texture structure design on the surface of the touch key can improve the anti-slip performance and touch feeling of the touch key. The micro-texture structure design can also reduce fingerprint residue, enhance the durability and aesthetics of the device.

[0063] In a preferred embodiment, the hardness of the flexible material of the integrated key area 2 is not less than 60A and not more than 80A.

[0064] The hardness of 60A to 80A ensures that the integrated key area 2 has sufficient durability while maintaining flexibility and elasticity, preventing the integrated key area 2 from being too soft or hard to affect the user's operation experience.

[0065] In an optional embodiment, the flexible material of the integrated key area 2 is provided with a protective layer inside.

[0066] By adding a protective layer inside the flexible material, the protective performance of the integrated key area 2 is improved. The protective layer can prevent the flexible material from being affected by the external environment (such as water, dust), and prolong the service life of the integrated key area 2.

[0067] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0068] Through the design of the integrated key area 2, users can easily realize the function control of the microphone (such as volume adjustment, function switching, power switch, etc.) by pressing the touch key, and the operation is more intuitive and simple;

[0069] The surface of the touch key is made of flexible material, which has comfortable hand feeling and good anti-skid performance, and users will not feel stiff or uncomfortable when operating;

[0070] Through the built-in pressure sensing module 3, the device can sense the force and duration when the user presses, and realize multi-level control. Users can execute different control instructions such as accurate volume adjustment or switching device mode by different pressing force or long pressing, short pressing operation, which significantly improves the intelligent level of the device;

[0071] The micro-vibrator installed below the touch key can provide instant vibration feedback when the user presses, effectively enhancing the user's operation confirmation feeling. This feedback mechanism can make the user instantly perceive whether the operation is successful, avoiding misoperation.
