[0015] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and do not limit this application. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The above and other objects, features and advantages of this application will become more apparent from the more detailed description of exemplary embodiments thereof in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein the same reference numerals generally represent the same components in the exemplary embodiments thereof.

[0017] Figure 1 This is an overall schematic diagram of a waterproof earphone shown in one embodiment of this application.

[0022] The technical solutions of some embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, this embodiment is a waterproof bone conduction Bluetooth headset, including a housing 1 and a circuit board 2. The housing 1 is provided with a cavity 11 for accommodating the circuit board 2. The circuit board 2 is provided with a charging interface 21. The housing 1 is provided with an interface hole 12 communicating with the cavity 11. The charging interface 21 is correspondingly arranged with the interface hole 12. The circuit board 2 is wrapped with a waterproof film 3. The waterproof film has an opening corresponding to the charging interface 21. The waterproof film is sealed to the outer wall of the charging interface 21 at the opening.

[0025] Thus, by wrapping the circuit board 2 with a waterproof film 3, the circuit is waterproof, meaning it can still work normally even if water enters the housing 1; this effectively solves the problem of waterproofing the charging interface 21 and avoids the problem of water easily entering the charging interface 21.

[0026] It should be noted that, as shown in the figure, the housing 1 has two symmetrical parts, a left ear and a right ear. One part is used to install the battery. Since this part does not require an interface, it can be fully sealed. The other part is provided with a cavity 11 for installing the circuit board 2. The circuit board 2 is provided with a charging interface 21. The charging interface 21 and the circuit board 2 need to be waterproofed.

[0027] In this embodiment, the front end of the charging interface 21 is located inside the interface hole 12, and the waterproof film 3 is clamped between the interface hole 12 and the charging interface 21. In this way, the waterproof film 3 is clamped and fixed, and at the same time, the waterproof film 3 can also seal the interface hole 12 and the charging interface 21.

[0028] In this embodiment, the waterproof membrane 3 is composed of multiple layers. The waterproof membrane 3 can be made of heat-shrinkable material. Because each layer of the waterproof membrane 3 is very thin, it has good flexibility, and using multiple layers can increase the waterproof effect.

[0029] In this embodiment, a waterproof adhesive layer for waterproofing and bonding is also provided between the charging interface 21 and the waterproof film 3. By applying a certain amount of waterproof adhesive to the outer wall of the charging interface 21, the charging interface 21 and the waterproof film 3 are bonded together, thereby increasing the waterproof effect.

[0030] In this embodiment, a waterproof coating is sprayed onto the surface of the circuit board 2. The waterproof coating is not shown in the figure. The waterproof coating uses a nano-level waterproof transparent coating, which is easier to repair and lower in cost compared to traditional potting treatment. Even if some water penetrates the waterproof film 3, it can still work normally under the protection of the waterproof coating.

[0031] In this embodiment, the circuit board 2 is also connected to a wire, and the cavity 11 is also provided with a wire hole 16 for the wire to pass through. The wire hole 16 is used to pass the wire that is electrically connected to the battery. The wire hole 16 is filled with a waterproof adhesive for sealing. The adhesive also fixes the wire to the waterproof film 3.

[0032] In this embodiment, the housing 1 includes a body and a cover plate 13. The body has a cavity 11, and the cover plate 13 is used to seal the cavity 11. The cover plate 13 and the body are sealed together. The body is also provided with a waterproof button 14, and the circuit board 2 is provided with a button corresponding to the waterproof button 14.

[0033] In this embodiment, the housing 1 is also provided with a waterproof cover 15, which can be opened to cover the interface hole 12 and is interference-fitted with the charging interface 21. The waterproof cover 15 is made of silicone material.

[0034] The waterproofing process of the waterproof earphone in this embodiment is as follows: First, the circuit board 2 is sprayed with a waterproof transparent coating to form a waterproof coating on its surface. Then, the circuit board 2 is wrapped with a waterproof film 3. Hot air is used to heat the waterproof film 3 to make it adhere to the circuit board 2. The circuit board 2 is then installed into the cavity 11. After wiring, the wire hole 16 is filled with waterproof glue. The cover plate 13 is installed and connected by ultrasonic welding. Finally, the waterproof film 3 at the front end of the charging interface 21 is heat-fused to form an opening.

[0035] The various embodiments of this application have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The terminology used herein is chosen to best explain the principles, practical application, or improvement of the technology in the market, or to enable others skilled in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
