[0001] This utility model relates to the field of headphone technology, specifically a microphone switch structure and a headset. Background Technology

[0002] Over-ear headphones, as an indispensable audio device in modern life, are gradually becoming the ideal choice for people to enjoy high-quality music, immerse themselves in their personal entertainment world, and work efficiently. Utilizing advanced audio transmission technology and a comfortable wearing design, over-ear headphones not only provide clear sound quality and noise isolation in noisy environments, making users feel as if they are in a private concert hall or a quiet workspace, but also achieve a free and unrestricted user experience through wireless connectivity technologies such as Bluetooth.

[0003] Currently, most over-ear headphones on the market rely on software interface operations or physical buttons to control the on / off state of their built-in microphones. This design is particularly inconvenient when the microphone needs to be temporarily turned off during a call. Users have to click software buttons on the screen or fumble for buttons on the headphones, which is very inconvenient and greatly reduces the overall user satisfaction and ease of use.

[0004] This utility model was proposed in response to the shortcomings of the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0005] The aforementioned issue addresses the problem that existing headsets often use software or buttons to control the microphone's on / off state during a call. When a user needs to mute the microphone during a call, they must click the software or touch the button, which is inconvenient and severely impacts the user experience. The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve this problem is:

[0006] A microphone switch structure includes a mounting housing, on which a driving component is provided, and on one side of the driving component is a switch component for controlling the on / off state of the microphone. The driving component can swing relative to the mounting housing to toggle the switch component to control the on / off state of the microphone.

[0007] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a mounting base fixedly disposed on the mounting housing, a drive mechanism hinged to the mounting base and abutting against the switch assembly, and the mounting housing is provided with a swing space for the drive mechanism to swing.

[0008] Furthermore, the swing space is located between the inner wall of the mounting housing and the mounting base.

[0009] Furthermore, the mounting housing is provided with a limiting groove, and the driving mechanism is provided with a limiting protrusion that cooperates with the limiting groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a first swing surface and a second swing surface connected to the first swing surface, wherein the second swing surface is inclined relative to the first swing surface.

[0011] Furthermore, a hinge point A is provided between the drive mechanism and the mounting base, a straight line B is provided between one end of the limiting groove and the hinge point A, a straight line C is provided between the other end of the limiting groove and the hinge point A, and an included angle α is provided between the straight line B and the straight line C, where 0° < included angle α ≤ 40°.

[0012] Furthermore, the switch assembly includes a drive rod that abuts against the outer wall of the drive mechanism and an elastic element that is elastically connected to the drive rod.

[0013] Furthermore, the driving assembly includes a handheld mechanism arranged vertically and connected to the driving mechanism, the height of the handheld mechanism in the vertical direction is H1, and the height of the mounting housing in the vertical direction is H2, where H1 > H2.

[0014] Furthermore, the mounting base is provided with a wiring port for routing cables, and the mounting housing is provided with a wiring groove communicating with the wiring port.

[0015] This utility model also provides a headset, including a headset body, the headset body including the microphone switch structure as described above.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. This utility model, by setting a driving component and a switch component located on one side of the driving component for controlling the microphone's on / off state, allows users to control the microphone's on / off state by toggling the driving component instead of directly operating a tiny switch button or clicking software, without having to operate the switch component directly. This effectively solves the problem that existing headsets often use software or buttons to control the call microphone, which requires users to click software or touch buttons to turn off the microphone during a call, resulting in inconvenience and a serious impact on the user experience.

[0018] 2. Users can control the on / off state of the switch component by toggling the driver component, thereby switching the on / off state of the call microphone. Compared with traditional software control or button operation, the coordinated setting of the driver component and switch component can provide a faster response, which helps to reduce the time required for users to switch the microphone on / off.

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 9 The microphone switch structure shown includes a mounting housing 1, a driving component 2 on the mounting housing 1, and a switch component 3 for controlling the microphone's on / off state on one side of the driving component 2. The driving component 2 can swing relative to the mounting housing 1 to toggle the switch component 3 to control the microphone's on / off state.

[0031] This invention, by setting up a driving component and a switch component located on one side of the driving component for controlling the microphone's on / off state, eliminates the need for users to directly operate tiny switch buttons or click software. Instead, users can control the microphone's on / off state by tossing the driving component. This effectively solves the problem that existing headsets often use software or buttons to control the call microphone, requiring users to click software or touch buttons to turn off the microphone during a call, which is inconvenient and severely impacts the user experience.

[0032] Furthermore, users can control the on / off state of the switch component 3 by toggling the drive component 2, thereby switching the on / off state of the call microphone. Compared with traditional software control or button operation, the coordinated setup of the drive component 2 and the switch component 3 can provide a faster response, which helps to reduce the time required for users to switch the microphone on / off.

[0033] Specifically, the driving assembly 2 includes a driving mechanism 22, which includes a first swing surface 222 and a second swing surface 223. When the microphone is in the off state, the driving rod 31 is in contact with the first swing surface 222 and the driving rod 31 is in a downward pressing state. During the rotation of the driving mechanism 22, the driving rod 31 always remains in the downward pressing state and is in contact with the first swing surface 222. When the driving mechanism 22 rotates to one end of the limiting groove 12, the driving rod 31 swings upward and is in contact with the second swing surface 223. At this time, the microphone is in the open state.

[0034] Optionally, in some embodiments, the switch assembly 3 includes a drive rod 31 and an elastic element 32. The drive rod 31 is hinged to the switch assembly 3, and the elastic element 32 is disposed inside the switch assembly. The cross-section of the elastic element 32 is "V" shaped. One end of the elastic element 32 abuts against the inner wall of the switch assembly 3 and the drive rod 31, respectively. The other end of the elastic element 32 is engaged with the inner wall of the switch assembly 3. A spring with a circular cross-section is provided between the two ends of the elastic element 32 and abuts against the drive rod 31. When the drive rod 31 swings downward, one end of the drive rod 31 presses the elastic element 32 downward, and the elastic element 32 undergoes elastic deformation and presses downward. When the drive rod 31 returns to its original position, the elastic element 32 restores its elastic deformation, thereby pressing the drive rod 31 upward, so that the drive rod 31 can swing upward and return to its original position.

[0035] Optionally, in some embodiments, the switch assembly 3 includes a drive rod 31 and an elastic element 32. The drive rod 31 is hinged to the switch assembly 3, and the elastic element 32 is disposed inside the switch assembly 3. The cross-section of the elastic element 32 is "bow" shaped. The two ends of the elastic element 32 abut against the inner sidewall of the switch assembly 3, and the middle part of the elastic element 32 abuts against the drive rod 31. When the drive rod 31 swings downward, one end of the drive rod 31 presses the elastic element 32 downward, and the elastic element 32 undergoes elastic deformation and presses downward. When the drive rod 31 returns to its original position, the elastic element 32 restores its elastic deformation, thereby pressing the drive rod 31 upward, so that the drive rod 31 can swing upward and return to its original position.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 9 The drive assembly 2 shown includes a mounting base 21 fixedly mounted on the mounting housing 1, and a drive mechanism 22 hinged to the mounting base 21 and abutting against the switch assembly 3. The mounting housing 1 is provided with a swing space 11 for the drive mechanism 22 to swing.

[0037] Furthermore, the drive mechanism 22 is connected to the mounting base 21 via a hinge, allowing the drive mechanism 22 to swing freely within the swing space 11. This provides good flexibility, enabling users to easily control the microphone's on / off state as needed. Secondly, the hinged connection has high durability and stability, maintaining stable performance during long-term use. At the same time, since the drive mechanism 22 swings within the fixed swing space 11, the risk of damage caused by excessive movement is effectively reduced.

[0038] Furthermore, by hinged drive mechanism 22 to mounting base 21, the need for complex mechanical structures is reduced, making the overall setup simpler. Secondly, the mounting base 21 is fixed to the mounting housing 1, while drive mechanism 22 moves within swing space 11, which reduces reliance on additional support structures and simplifies the assembly process.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 9 The swing space 11 shown is located between the inner wall of the mounting housing 1 and the mounting base 21;

[0040] Furthermore, the swing space 11 is set between the inner wall of the mounting housing 1 and the mounting base 21, which effectively utilizes the internal space of the equipment and helps to save external space, so that the overall structure of the equipment is more compact.

[0041] Furthermore, the setting of the swing space 11 between the inner wall of the mounting housing 1 and the mounting base 21 is conducive to providing good structural support and effectively ensuring that the swing process of the drive mechanism is more stable. The space between the inner wall of the mounting housing 1 and the mounting base 21 limits the range of motion of the drive mechanism 22, effectively avoiding excessive swing or deviation of the drive mechanism 22, and helping to ensure the accurate switching of the switch assembly 3.

[0042] Furthermore, the swing space 11 is set so that the drive mechanism 22 has a clear range of motion inside the device, which helps to reduce the interference between the drive mechanism 22 and other internal components, helps to prevent mutual influence between different components, and helps to improve the stability and reliability of the overall system.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 9 The mounting housing 1 shown is provided with a limiting groove 12, and the driving mechanism 22 is provided with a limiting protrusion 221 that cooperates with the limiting groove 12;

[0044] Furthermore, the cooperation between the limiting groove 12 and the limiting protrusion 221 helps to ensure the precise positioning of the drive mechanism 22 during the swing process, effectively preventing the drive mechanism 22 from deviating or shaking during the swing, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the operation; secondly, the sliding or engaging of the limiting protrusion 221 within the limiting groove 12 helps to limit the swing range and angle of the drive mechanism 22, effectively achieving stable control of the movement of the drive mechanism 22.

[0045] Furthermore, by limiting the range of motion of the drive mechanism 22, the limiting groove 12 and the limiting protrusion 221 help to enhance the stability of the entire switch structure and reduce noise or operational problems caused by unstable oscillation.

[0046] Furthermore, the limiting protrusion 221 and the limiting groove 12 help ensure that the drive mechanism 22 has a clear stop position during the swing process, thereby providing clear operation feedback so that the user can better perceive the state changes of the microphone switch, which helps to enhance the accuracy and satisfaction of user operation.

[0047] Furthermore, the cross-section of the limiting protrusion 221 is rectangular.

[0048] Furthermore, the integral molding of the limiting protrusion 221 and the drive mechanism 22 eliminates the need for additional connecting parts between them, thereby enhancing the stability of the overall structure, reducing the risk of potential loosening or detachment, and improving the durability of the components.

[0049] Optionally, in some embodiments, the limiting protrusion 221 and the drive mechanism 22 are snap-fitted together.

[0050] Optionally, in some embodiments, the limiting protrusion 221 and the drive mechanism 22 are threadedly connected.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 9 The drive mechanism 22 shown includes a first swing surface 222 and a second swing surface 223 connected to the first swing surface 222. The second swing surface 223 is inclined relative to the first swing surface 222.

[0052] Furthermore, the mounting base 21 has a fan-shaped cross-section, the swing space 11 extends along the arc direction of the fan, the first swing surface 222 also extends along the arc direction of the fan, the second swing surface 223 is inclined relative to the first swing surface 222, and there is an oblique angle between the second swing surface 223 and the first swing surface 222.

[0053] Specifically, the second swing surface 223 is inclined relative to the first swing surface 222, forming an oblique angle between them. During the swinging process of the drive mechanism 22, the contact between the drive rod 31 and the first swing surface 222 changes to contact with the second swing surface 223. When the drive rod 31 needs to be reset, the contact between the drive rod 31 and the second swing surface 223 changes to contact with the first swing surface 222. The oblique angle setting is beneficial to optimizing the force transmission of the drive rod 31 during the reset process. Compared with a right angle, the oblique angle setting makes it easier for the drive rod 31 to reset and helps to reduce friction, effectively extending the service life of the device.

[0054] Furthermore, when the drive rod 31 changes from contacting the first swing surface 222 to contacting the second swing surface 223, the presence of the bevel angle makes the transition process smoother, which helps to reduce the impact and vibration caused by the sudden change of the contact surface, thereby optimizing the force transmission efficiency; secondly, the bevel angle is set so that the force can be distributed more evenly during the transmission process, which helps to reduce the energy loss caused by the sudden change of direction.

[0055] like Figures 1 to 9 The drive mechanism 22 and the mounting base 21 shown are provided with a hinge point A211. One end of the limiting groove 12 is provided with a straight line B between the hinge point A211 and the other end of the limiting groove 12 is provided with a straight line C between the hinge point A211 and the straight line B and the straight line C are provided with an included angle α, where 0° < included angle α ≤ 40°.

[0056] Specifically, when the microphone is in the off state, the included angle α is close to 0°. When the drive mechanism swings from 0° to 40°, the drive rod 31 is always in the downward state and abuts against the first swing surface 222. When the drive mechanism 22 rotates to 40°, the limiting protrusion 221 on the drive mechanism 22 abuts against one end of the limiting groove 12. At this time, the drive rod 31 contacts the second swing surface 223, the drive rod 31 is in the upward swing state, and the microphone switches from the off state to the on state.

[0057] Furthermore, the setting of 0° < included angle α ≤ 40° allows the user to more easily reach the control component when turning the drive mechanism 22. The appropriate included angle means that the user does not need to excessively twist their wrist or move their head during operation, thereby improving the convenience of adjustment.

[0058] Furthermore, different users have different head shapes and ear positions. The setting of 0° < included angle α ≤ 40° allows the drive mechanism 22 to better adapt to different head shapes during use, which helps ensure that users can find the most comfortable position when adjusting.

[0059] like Figures 1 to 9The switch assembly 3 shown includes a drive rod 31 that abuts against the outer wall of the drive mechanism 22 and an elastic member 32 that is elastically connected to the drive rod 31;

[0060] Optionally, in some embodiments, the switch assembly 3 includes a drive rod 31 and an elastic element 32. The drive rod 31 is hinged to the switch assembly 3, and the elastic element 32 is disposed inside the switch assembly. The cross-section of the elastic element 32 is "V" shaped. One end of the elastic element 32 abuts against the inner wall of the switch assembly 3 and the drive rod 31, respectively. The other end of the elastic element 32 is engaged with the inner wall of the switch assembly 3. A spring with a circular cross-section is provided between the two ends of the elastic element 32 and abuts against the drive rod 31. When the drive rod 31 swings downward, one end of the drive rod 31 presses the elastic element 32 downward, and the elastic element 32 undergoes elastic deformation and presses downward. When the drive rod 31 returns to its original position, the elastic element 32 restores its elastic deformation, thereby pressing the drive rod 31 upward, so that the drive rod 31 can swing upward and return to its original position.

[0061] Optionally, in some embodiments, the switch assembly 3 includes a drive rod 31 and an elastic element 32. The drive rod 31 is hinged to the switch assembly 3, and the elastic element 32 is disposed inside the switch assembly 3. The cross-section of the elastic element 32 is "bow" shaped. The two ends of the elastic element 32 abut against the inner sidewall of the switch assembly 3, and the middle part of the elastic element 32 abuts against the drive rod 31. When the drive rod 31 swings downward, one end of the drive rod 31 presses the elastic element 32 downward, and the elastic element 32 undergoes elastic deformation and presses downward. When the drive rod 31 returns to its original position, the elastic element 32 restores its elastic deformation, thereby pressing the drive rod 31 upward, so that the drive rod 31 can swing upward and return to its original position.

[0062] like Figures 1 to 9 The drive assembly 2 shown includes a handheld mechanism 23 arranged vertically and connected to the drive mechanism 22. The height of the handheld mechanism 23 in the vertical direction is H1, and the height of the mounting housing 1 in the vertical direction is H2, where H1 > H2.

[0063] Furthermore, the longer handheld mechanism 23 allows for a more comfortable grip during operation. The longer handheld mechanism 23 provides a larger grip space, enabling users to find a more natural and relaxed grip posture, thereby improving operational comfort.

[0064] Furthermore, the longer handheld mechanism 23 provides the user with better leverage, enabling more stable control of the drive mechanism 22 during operation, which helps reduce the risk of malfunctions or damage caused by unstable operation.

[0065] like Figures 1 to 9The mounting base 21 shown is provided with a wiring port 212 for wiring, and the mounting housing 1 is provided with a wiring groove 13 communicating with the wiring port 212;

[0066] Furthermore, by setting up cable routing ports 212 and cable routing grooves 13, cables such as power cords and data cables can be neatly guided and fixed on the predetermined path, effectively preventing cables from being pulled or tangled, thus making the overall cable routing neater and more orderly.

[0067] Furthermore, neatly guiding the cables through the cable routing opening 212 and the cable routing groove 13 can effectively reduce interference and friction of the cables inside the equipment, help reduce the risk of cable damage, and improve the long-term stability and reliability of the equipment.

[0068] Furthermore, the installation of the cable routing port 212 and the cable routing groove 13 simplifies the assembly and maintenance process of the equipment. During assembly, the cable can be easily guided through the cable routing port 212 to the cable routing groove 13, which helps to ensure that the cable layout is standardized.

[0069] like Figures 1 to 9 The headset shown includes a headset body, which includes a microphone switch structure as described above;

[0070] Specifically, by incorporating the microphone switch structure onto the headset, users can control the on / off state of the switch component 3 by toggling the driver component 2, thereby switching the microphone on / off state. Compared to traditional software control or button operation, the coordinated setup of the driver component 2 and the switch component 3 provides a faster response, which helps reduce the time required for users to switch the microphone on / off, and improves the practicality and user satisfaction of the headset.

[0071] The implementation method of this embodiment is as follows:

[0072] A microphone switch structure includes a mounting housing 1, a driving assembly 2 on the mounting housing 1, and a switch assembly 3 for controlling the microphone's on / off state on one side of the driving assembly 2. The driving assembly 2 includes a mounting base 21 fixedly mounted on the mounting housing 1 and a driving mechanism 22 hinged to the mounting base 21. The driving mechanism 22 includes a first swing surface 222 and a second swing surface 223 connected to the first swing surface 222. The switch assembly 3 includes a driving rod 31 abutting against the outer wall of the driving mechanism 22 and an elastic element 32 for swinging the driving rod 31. When the microphone is in the off state, the included angle α is close to 0°. When the driving mechanism 22 gradually swings from 0°... When the drive rod 31 swings towards 40°, it remains in a downward state and abuts against the first swing surface 222. When the drive mechanism 22 rotates to 40°, the limiting protrusion 221 on the drive mechanism 22 abuts against one end of the limiting groove 12. At this time, the drive rod 31 contacts the second swing surface 223 and is in an upward swing state. The microphone switches from the off state to the on state, effectively solving the problem that the call microphone in existing headsets often uses software or buttons to control the call switch. When the user needs to turn off the microphone during a call, they need to click the software or touch the button to turn it off, which is inconvenient and seriously affects the user experience.

[0073] By incorporating a microphone switch structure into the headset, users can control the on / off state of the switch component 3 by toggling the driver component 2, thereby switching the microphone on / off state. Compared to traditional software control or button operation, the coordinated setup of the driver component 2 and the switch component 3 provides a faster response, reducing the time required for users to switch the microphone on / off state and improving the practicality and user satisfaction of the headset.

[0074] The above examples are merely illustrative of the technical content of this utility model to facilitate reader understanding, but do not imply that the implementation of this utility model is limited to these embodiments. Any technical extensions or re-creations made based on this utility model are protected by this utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the claims.
