In the present specification, the exemplary description of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0043] In the existing open earphone, the battery is generally sealed in the inside of the earphone shell, which causes the earphone battery to be difficult or impossible to replace, which on the one hand shortens the service life of the product, and on the other hand affects the use experience of the customer. In view of this, the technical scheme adopts a detachable shell structure to realize the replacement of the battery, but the overall structure is relatively complex, which is not conducive to miniaturization and affects the applicable scenarios.

[0044] For this purpose, please refer to Figures 1-6 The earphone shell provided in the embodiments of the present application comprises a body 10, an outer cover 20, an inner cover 40 and an elastic member 30.

[0045] For this purpose, please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 The body 10 has a battery compartment 10a and an opening 10b in communication with the battery compartment 10a. The battery compartment 10a is used to place the battery, and the battery can be placed into the battery compartment 10a from the opening 10b or removed from the battery compartment 10a through the opening 10b. The first sliding part 11 is arranged at the opening 10b.

[0046] For this purpose, please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 The outer cover 20 has a second sliding part 21, and the first sliding part 11 can be in sliding cooperation with the second sliding part 21 and limit the movement of the outer cover 20 in the non-sliding direction, that is, when the first sliding part 11 is in sliding cooperation with the second sliding part 21, the outer cover 20 can only move along the sliding direction with the body 10 and cannot move in other directions. Specifically, when the sliding direction is the radial direction, the outer cover 20 and the body 10 cannot move in the axial direction.

[0047] The outer cover 20 can slide and close the opening 10b under the sliding cooperation of the second sliding part 21 and the first sliding part 11, or slide in the opposite direction and expose the opening 10b. It can be understood that the outer cover 20 slides relative to the body 10 and closes the opening 10b, at which time the battery is enclosed in the battery compartment 10a, and the outer cover 20 slides in the opposite direction and exposes the opening 10b, thereby facilitating the removal of the battery and the placement of a new battery.

[0048] The elastic member 30 is configured to generate an elastic force that hinders the sliding of the outer cover 20 when the outer cover 20 slides and closes the opening 10b, that is, to hinder the sliding of the outer cover 20 to avoid exposing the opening 10b.

[0049] In the above embodiment, the second sliding part 21 can be in sliding cooperation with the first sliding part 11 and limit the movement of the outer cover 20 in the non-sliding direction, the outer cover 20 can slide and close the opening 10b under the sliding cooperation of the second sliding part 21 and the first sliding part 11, at this time the elastic member 30 can generate an elastic force to hinder the sliding of the outer cover 20, so as to realize the closure of the opening 10b, that is, the closure of the battery compartment 10a, thereby avoiding the battery from sliding out of the battery compartment 10a; the outer cover 20 can slide reversely and expose the opening 10b under the sliding cooperation of the second sliding part 21 and the first sliding part 11, so as to be able to directly take out the battery inside. The structure for realizing the closure and opening of the battery compartment 10a through sliding described above is relatively simple, can realize smaller volume occupation to improve the application range, and the sliding action is relatively simple and easy to operate.

[0050] The elastic member 30 can be arranged between the body 10 and the outer cover 20, one end of the elastic member 30 acts on the body 10, and the other end of the elastic member 30 acts on the outer cover 20, so as to generate an elastic force to hinder the sliding of the outer cover 20.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some other embodiments, the earphone shell further comprises an inner cover 40, the inner cover 40 is detachably arranged at the opening 10b to seal the battery compartment 10a. The outer cover 20 slides on the side of the inner cover 40 away from the body 10. Wherein, when the outer cover 20 slides reversely, the inner cover 40 located at the opening 10b can be exposed, and when the inner cover 40 is arranged at the battery compartment 10a, the outer cover 20 slides to constrain the inner cover 40.

[0052] One end of the elastic member 30 is connected to the inner cover 40, and the other end of the elastic member 30 is connected to the outer cover 20. When the outer cover 20 slides and closes the opening 10b, the elastic member 30 generates an elastic force to press the inner cover 40 at the opening 10b, thereby further improving the sealing performance of the connection between the inner cover 40 and the battery compartment 10a. It can be understood that the elastic member 30 can simultaneously generate an elastic force to hinder the sliding of the outer cover 20 and an elastic force to press the inner cover 40 at the opening 10b, so as to further simplify the structure, reduce the volume occupation and reduce the cost while meeting the sealing performance requirements.

[0053] In some embodiments, the elastic member 30 is connected to one of the inner cover 40 or the outer cover 20, and a clamping groove 40a is arranged on the other one of the inner cover 40 or the outer cover 20. That is, the elastic member 30 can be connected to the outer cover 20 or the inner cover 40, and the clamping groove 40a is located on the surface of the other one of the inner cover 40 or the outer cover 20, which is opposite to the one of the inner cover 40 or the outer cover 20 connected to the elastic member 30.

[0054] For the convenience of description, the following will be described by taking the elastic member 30 connected to the outer cover 20 as an example.

[0055] When the outer cover 20 slides to the position of closing the opening 10b, the elastic member 30 can be elastically clamped into the clamping groove 40a and be pressed against the inner wall of the clamping groove 40a. Specifically, the outer cover 20 slides, at this time, the elastic member 30 is supported on the surface of the inner cover 40 and slides on the surface of the inner cover 40, at this time, the elastic member 30 is in the energy storage state, when the outer cover 20 slides to the position of closing the opening 10b, the elastic member 30 can release the elastic energy to be elastically clamped into the clamping groove 40a, thereby preventing the outer cover 20 from sliding. The elastic member 30 clamped into the clamping groove 40a is still in the energy storage state, thereby being pressed against the inner wall of the clamping groove 40a, thereby generating the elastic force for pressing the inner cover 40 at the opening 10b.

[0056] The outer cover 20 can slide under the action of an external force to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 30, so that the elastic member 30 exits the clamping groove 40a. That is, when the battery needs to be replaced, the outer cover 20 is made to slide by an external force to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 30, so that the elastic member 30 exits the clamping groove 40a, thereby exposing the opening 10b.

[0057] It can be understood that, since the elastic member 30 is supported by the inner cover 40 and moves away from the inner cover 40 to store energy during the sliding cooperation of the second sliding part 21 and the first sliding part 11, the surface of the inner cover 40 is provided with an avoiding groove 20b, which can reduce the material and volume of the outer cover 20 and provide a space for the deformation of the elastic member 30.

[0058] In order to further improve the sealing performance, in some embodiments, the earphone shell comprises a sealing ring 50, the inner cover 40 is recessed to form a first step 12 towards the end surface of the body 10, the body 10 is recessed to form a second step 41 towards the end surface of the inner cover 40, the first step 12 and the second step 41 are at least partially opposite along the height direction of the battery compartment 10a, and the sealing ring 50 is arranged between the first step 12 and the second step 41. It can be understood that the sealing ring 50 and the first step 12 of the inner cover 40 are supported by the second step 41, and under the action of the elastic member 30, the sealing ring 50 between the first step 12 and the second step 41 is deformed by being pressed by the two, thereby being better closed between the inner cover 40 and the body 10, improving the sealing performance of the battery compartment 10a and realizing the waterproof function.

[0059] It can be understood that the elastic member 30 can be integrally formed on the outer cover 20 or the inner cover 40, thereby facilitating assembly.

[0060] In order to reduce the manufacturing difficulty, in some embodiments, one of the inner cover 40 or the outer cover 20 has a recessed slot 20a and a protruding protrusion 22 located on one side of the slot 20a. The elastic piece 30 is an elastic sheet capable of being inserted into the slot 20a to achieve connection. The material of the elastic piece 30 is not limited, for example, a metal sheet can be selected. It can be understood that the elastic piece 30 is separately prepared, which reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the inner cover 40 or the outer cover 20.

[0061] In the following, the slot 20a is opened in the outer cover 20 as an example.

[0062] In some embodiments, the elastic sheet includes a connecting section 31 and a hook section 32 connected to each other, the connecting section 31 is inserted into the slot 20a, and the hook section 32 is inclined to the connecting section 31. It can be understood that the hook section 32 arranged obliquely can bend and store energy relative to the connecting section 31 when abutting to the inner cover 40. The hook section 32 can be elastically clamped into or out of the clamping groove 40a, and the protrusion 22 is supported on the side of the hook section 32 away from the clamping groove 40a, so that a stronger elastic force can be generated when the hook section 32 is bent and stored.

[0063] It can be understood that the specific structure of the first sliding part 11 and the second sliding part 21 is not limited, and in some embodiments, the body 10 has a side wall at one end of the opening 10b forming a through gap 10c, the first sliding part 11 is a groove formed in the inner wall of the battery compartment 10a, and the groove is opposite to the gap 10c. The second sliding part 21 is a protruding clamping protrusion formed on the outer cover 20, and the outer cover 20 can slide so that the clamping protrusion can slide into the groove from the gap 10c. Specifically, the groove is an arc-shaped groove, and the clamping protrusion is an arc-shaped protrusion arranged on the outer side wall of the outer cover 20.

[0064] It can be understood that the groove structure of the first sliding part 11 and the protrusion structure of the second sliding part 21 can achieve the sliding fit of the outer cover 20 and the body 10, and the overall volume is relatively small, which can be applied to small volume open earphones.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 6 In some embodiments, the surface of the outer cover 20 away from the body 10 is formed with an indication 23 indicating the sliding direction. It can be understood that the surface of the outer cover 20 away from the body 10 is the surface exposed on the outer side of the earphone. The above-mentioned indication 23 indicating the sliding direction can be used to quickly determine the sliding direction, so as to facilitate the user to quickly slide out the outer cover 20 to expose the battery or slide in the outer cover 20 to close the battery.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 4In some embodiments, the end of the main body 10 away from the battery compartment 10a forms a curved ear hook portion 13. It is understood that the ear hook portion 13 is a structure that can be hung on the user's ear. That is, the earphone shell is the shell of an ear hook earphone, so that the end of the ear hook portion 13 away from the battery compartment 10a provides space for the battery compartment 10a and does not affect the ear hook function.

[0067] Please refer to Figures 1-3 This application embodiment also provides an earphone, which includes an earphone shell and a battery 70. One end of the main body 10 has a battery compartment 10a, in which the battery 70 is disposed. The other end of the main body 10 has an ear hook portion 13.

[0068] In some embodiments, the earphone includes a second elastic element 80 disposed at one end of the battery compartment 10a opposite to the opening 10b. The second elastic element 80 is capable of generating an elastic force that moves the battery outward from the opening 10b. It is understood that after the outer cover 20 is unlocked, the aforementioned elastic force can push the battery and the inner cover 40 to move, thereby separating the inner cover 40 from the body 10, facilitating the removal of the inner cover 40 and the battery.

[0069] In some embodiments, the earphone includes a battery control board 60. A fixing groove 10d is formed on the side of the battery compartment 10a opposite to the opening 10b. The battery control board 60 is disposed in the fixing groove 10d, and the battery 70 is electrically connected to the electrode plates of the battery control board 60. The electrode plates and the second elastic member 80 can be two separately formed components. In some embodiments, the electrode plate is the second elastic member 80, meaning the second elastic member 80 also functions as an electrical connection between the battery 70 and the battery control board 60.
