[0028] The circuit board 20 is installed on the inner side 10a of the casing 10, and the circuit board 20 is arranged opposite the sound pickup channel 11, the microphone 30 is installed on the side opposite the circuit board 20 and the casing 10, the casing 10 is further provided with a pressure relief channel 13, one end of the pressure relief channel 13 is communicated with the sound pickup channel 11, and the other end of the pressure relief channel 13 penetrates the circumferential side 10c. Wherein, the high-pressure water or high-pressure gas entering the sound pickup channel 11 can be partially discharged through the pressure relief channel 13. The pressure on the microphone transducer diaphragm is smaller, the microphone transducer diaphragm is not easy to be damaged, and the microphone can be better protected. In addition, the microphone transducer diaphragm is subjected to reduced vibration caused by non-acoustic, the sound is more stable, the sound pickup quality can be effectively improved, and wind noise is reduced.

[0029] In some embodiments, the pressure relief channel 13 can achieve the purpose of rapid pressure reduction according to the product structure, and the outlet of the pressure relief channel 13 is usually arranged away from the sound pickup channel 11 of the microphone 30 or the direction from which the high-pressure water or high-pressure gas may come. If necessary, the outlet of the pressure relief channel 13 is shielded and protected by a shielding piece, which includes but is not limited to a rubber plug.

[0030] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, in some embodiments, the circuit board 20 is provided with a sound pickup hole 21, and the sound pickup hole 21 is arranged opposite the sound pickup channel 11. The microphone 30 is installed on the side opposite the circuit board 20 and the casing 10, and the microphone 30 is arranged opposite the sound pickup hole 21. The transducer diaphragm of the microphone 30 can be arranged opposite the sound pickup hole 21.

[0031] The microphone structure further comprises a waterproof noise reduction subassembly 40, which is installed between the sound pickup hole 21 and the sound pickup channel 11. The waterproof noise reduction subassembly 40 comprises at least one mesh piece 41 and at least one waterproof air permeable piece 42. The mesh piece 41 and the waterproof air permeable piece 42 are arranged at intervals, the mesh piece 41 is arranged close to the sound pickup channel 11, and the waterproof air permeable piece 42 is arranged close to the sound pickup hole 21.

[0032] The high-pressure water or high-pressure gas entering the pickup channel 11 can be partially discharged through the pressure relief channel 13 and partially discharged through the waterproof noise reduction assembly 40.

[0033] It can be understood that the waterproof noise reduction assembly 40 is arranged to strengthen the thermal viscosity of the microphone structure, further reduce the gas energy, reduce the deformation of the waterproof air permeable member 42, reduce the pressure on the transducer diaphragm of the microphone 30, and better protect the microphone 30.

The waterproof air permeable member 42 can isolate water and other media to prevent water from impacting the transducer diaphragm of the microphone 30, thereby protecting the microphone 30.

[0034] In some embodiments, the inner side surface 10a of the shell 10 is provided with a containing chamber 12 in communication with the pickup channel 11, and the waterproof noise reduction assembly 40 is installed in the containing chamber 12. The thickness of the containing chamber 12 can be similar to the thickness of the waterproof noise reduction assembly 40. When the circuit board 20 is installed on the inner side surface 10a of the shell 10, the side surface of the circuit board 20 can limit the waterproof noise reduction assembly 40, so that the waterproof noise reduction assembly 40 is fixed in the containing chamber 12, and the entire microphone structure is more compact.

Alternatively, the waterproof noise reduction assembly 40 can also be fixed by welding, including but not limited to hot melting welding or laser welding, which is not limited here.

[0035] In some embodiments, the mesh member 41 completely covers the pickup channel 11, and the waterproof air permeable member 42 completely covers the pickup hole 21. Figure 3 As shown, the area of the mesh member 41 is greater than the cross-sectional area of the pickup channel 11, and the area of the waterproof air permeable member 42 is greater than the cross-sectional area of the pickup channel 11 and the cross-sectional area of the pickup hole 21.

[0036] It can be understood that the mesh member 41 completely covers the pickup channel 11, and the waterproof air permeable member 42 completely covers the pickup hole 21, so that the gas or other media can completely contact the mesh member 41. The gas can be decompressed (reduce the wind speed pressure) to avoid the gas entering the pickup hole 21 and directly transmitting to the transducer diaphragm of the microphone 30. The water and other media can first contact the mesh member 41, which can intercept at least part of the water or reduce the volume of the water to reduce the influence of the water and other media on the waterproof air permeable member 42 and the transducer diaphragm of the microphone 30.

[0037] Combination Figure 3 And Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 4, the waterproof noise reduction assembly 40 includes a ring-shaped part 43, and the mesh part 41 and the waterproof air-permeable part 42 are respectively provided with two axial end faces of the ring-shaped part 43. Alternatively, the waterproof noise reduction assembly 40 includes a ring-shaped part 43, and the mesh part 41 and the waterproof air-permeable part 42 are respectively arranged in the inner cavity of the ring-shaped part 43, and the mesh part 41 and the waterproof air-permeable part 42 cover the inner cavity of the ring-shaped part 43. Alternatively, the waterproof noise reduction assembly 40 includes a plurality of ring-shaped parts 43, and the ring-shaped parts 43, the mesh part 41 and the waterproof air-permeable part 42 are staggered and stacked together along the axial direction / height direction / thickness direction. The ring-shaped part 43 can be a plastic part.

[0038] The mesh part 41, the waterproof air-permeable part 42 and the ring-shaped part 43 can be fixed together by hot melting or laser welding. Of course, the waterproof noise reduction assembly 40 can also be assembled by other assembly methods, which are not limited here.

[0039] In some embodiments, the waterproof noise reduction assembly 40 is a one-piece structure. The waterproof noise reduction assembly 40 can be integrally formed by a mold.

[0040] In some embodiments, the mesh part 41 includes a gauze, such as a 250-mesh gauze. The mesh part 41 is a porous hydrophobic sound-permeable material or a dense woven sound-permeable net. The waterproof air-permeable part 42 includes a waterproof air-permeable film.

[0041] In this embodiment, when the gas passes through the mesh part 41, the energy is further consumed due to the effect of thermal viscosity, the energy of the gas reaching the waterproof air-permeable part 42 is reduced, the deformation of the waterproof air-permeable part 42 is reduced, the change in air pressure between the waterproof air-permeable part 42 and the transducer diaphragm of the microphone 30 is small, the change in pressure of the microphone 30 is small, the pressure received by the transducer diaphragm of the microphone 30 is small, and the microphone 30 is not easily damaged, thereby achieving the purpose of protecting the microphone 30.

[0042] Understandably, by setting the waterproof noise reduction assembly 40, the thermal viscosity of the microphone structure is strengthened, the transducer diaphragm of the microphone 30 is reduced in vibration caused by non-acoustic in a windy environment, and the sound is more stable, which can effectively improve the sound pickup quality and reduce wind noise.
