[0038] The technical solutions of the 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.

[0039] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0040] This application provides an earphone case, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the earphone case includes a plastic shell 1 and a protective member 2. The interior of the plastic shell 1 has an earphone receiving slot (not shown) for storing the earphones. The protective member 2 covers at least a portion of the surface of the plastic shell 1, for example, it may cover at least a portion of the inner surface 1111 of the plastic shell 1, and / or cover at least a portion of the outer surface 1112 of the plastic shell 1. The material hardness of the protective member 2 is less than that of the plastic shell 1, thereby providing impact cushioning and protection for the earphones stored within the plastic shell 1.

[0041] The earphone case provided in this application embodiment can protect the earphones stored inside by covering at least a portion of the surface of the plastic shell 1 with a more flexible protective member 2. When the earphone case is accidentally thrown out or falls to the ground, the protective member 2 can deform to absorb the impact energy or separate the earphones from the case wall, thereby reducing the risk of impact damage and improving the protection of the earphones.

[0042] In some embodiments of this application, the plastic housing 1 includes a housing and a cover 11. The housing has an earphone receiving slot (not shown in the figure), and the cover 11 is disposed on the housing. The cover 11 is configured to be openable relative to the housing to expose the earphone receiving slot, and to be closed relative to the housing to hide the earphone receiving slot.

[0043] For example, the cover 11 is rotatably connected to the housing to cover or expose the headphone storage slot in the housing.

[0044] It should be understood that "hidden headphone slot" means that when the cover 11 is placed on the housing, the cover 11 will cover the headphone slot, making the headphone slot visually invisible, which is equivalent to hiding the headphone slot.

[0045] Considering that the earphones are usually magnetically installed in the earphone holder, which fits the shape of the case and is tightly connected, when the earphone case is dropped, the earphones are not likely to be damaged by collision with the case. Instead, they will fall out of the earphone holder due to the force and are more likely to be damaged by collision with the case cover 11.

[0046] Therefore, in this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the protective element 2 can be attached to the housing cover 11 and cover at least a portion of the surface of the housing cover 11. In this way, it can absorb the impact pressure of the housing cover 11 and prevent damage to the earphones.

[0047] like Figure 2As shown, the cover 11 includes a cover body 111 and a surrounding rib 112. The cover body 111 includes an inner surface 1111, an outer surface 1112, and an annular end face 1113 connecting the inner surface 1111 and the outer surface 1112; the surrounding rib 112 is connected to the annular end face 1113. Figure 3 As shown, the periost portion 112 has a first portion 1121 exposed from the side where the inner surface 1111 of the cover portion 111 is located, and / or a second portion 1122 exposed from the side where the outer surface 1112 of the cover portion 111 is located.

[0048] By setting the surrounding rib portion 112, the protective element 2 can be limited, thereby reducing the installation difficulty when the protective element 2 is installed over the cover portion 111 and improving the installation positioning accuracy.

[0049] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the protective element 2 may include a first protective film 21, which covers the inner surface 1111 of the cover portion 111 and is combined with... Figure 3 It can be seen that the first protective film 21 is in contact with the first part 1121.

[0050] In this case, the first protective film 21 can separate the earphones from the cover portion 111 of the plastic housing 1. When the earphone compartment is dropped, even if the earphones fall out of the earphone receiving slot due to force, the earphones will only collide with the first protective film 21 and will not collide with the cover portion 111. Therefore, the first protective film 21 plays a protective role for the earphones.

[0051] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the protective element 2 may also include a second protective film 22, which covers the outer surface 1112 of the cover portion 111, and is combined with... Figure 3 It can be seen that the second protective film 22 is in contact with the second part 1122.

[0052] In this case, the second protective film 22 covers the outer side of the cover portion 111 of the plastic housing 1. When the earphone compartment is dropped, if the cover 11 falls towards the ground, the second protective film 22 will preferentially contact the ground, thus acting as a buffer and greatly reducing the impact force on the earphone compartment. This reduces the probability that the earphone will fall out of the earphone compartment due to force, and further reduces the probability that the earphone will collide with the cover portion 111. Therefore, the second protective film 22 plays a protective role for the earphone.

[0053] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the first protective film 21 is in contact with the first surface 11211 of the first part 1121. The first surface 11211 is the surface of the first part 1121 that is away from the second part 1122 and faces the inside of the cover part 111.

[0054] Since the first protective film 21 needs to cover the inner surface 1111 of the cover portion 111, by setting the first surface 11211, the installation and positioning of the first protective film 21 can be facilitated and the positioning accuracy can be improved.

[0055] Optionally, the first protective film 21 can be a microfiber film, or other film materials with a hardness lower than that of the plastic shell 1.

[0056] In some embodiments of this application, the second protective film 22 is in contact with the second surface 11221 of the second portion 1122, and the second surface 11221 is the surface of the second portion 1122 that is adjacent to the outer surface 1112 of the cover portion 111.

[0057] Similarly, since the second protective film 22 needs to cover the outer surface 1112 of the cover portion 111, the installation and positioning of the second protective film 22 can be facilitated by providing the second surface 11221, thereby improving the positioning accuracy.

[0058] Optionally, the second protective film 22 may include at least one of PU film, genuine leather, kona leather, and woven fabric.

[0059] By using the first protective film 21 and the second protective film 22 made of the above materials, the earphones can be protected while the style and color of the earphone case can be enriched, thus enhancing the appearance.

[0060] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 As shown, a first adhesive layer 3 is formed between the first protective film 21 and the cover portion 111, and a second adhesive layer 4 is formed between the second protective film 22 and the cover portion 111.

[0061] By providing the first adhesive layer 3 and the second adhesive layer 4, the connection between the first protective film 21 and the second protective film 22 and the cover portion 111 can be facilitated.

[0062] For example, the first adhesive layer 3 can be formed from the adhesive material inherent to the first protective film 21, the adhesiveness of which is activated by heating and pressure holding. The second adhesive layer 4 can be formed from the adhesive material inherent to the second protective film 22, the adhesiveness of which can also be activated by heating and pressure holding.

[0063] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 3 A mounting groove 113 is provided on the inner surface 1111 of the cover portion 111. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the earphone compartment also includes a magnet 5 and a magnet cover 6. The magnet 5 is located in the mounting groove 113, and the magnet cover 6 is placed on the side of the magnet 5 away from the cover portion 111 and connected to the cover portion 111. The first protective film 21 is located on the side of the magnet cover 6 away from the magnet 5.

[0064] By installing the magnet 5 on the cover part 111 through the magnet cover 6, and installing an iron block or another magnet 5 on the cavity body, the magnetic connection between the cavity cover 11 and the cavity body can be realized, so as to ensure that the two maintain a stable and reliable connection when the cavity cover 11 is placed on the cavity body, thereby preventing the earphones installed in the earphone receiving slot from falling out.

[0065] The first protective film 21 also covers the magnet cover 6, thereby protecting the earphones while ensuring the flatness of the inner surface 1111 of the earphone compartment cover 11, improving the appearance.

[0066] This application also provides an earphone assembly, which includes earphones and the earphone case described in the above embodiments, wherein the earphones can be stored in the earphone case.

[0067] The headphone assembly provided in this application provides protection for the headphones stored inside the headphone case by covering at least a portion of the surface of the plastic housing 1 of the headphone case with a more flexible protective member 2. When the headphone case is accidentally thrown out or falls to the ground, the protective member 2 can deform to absorb the impact energy or separate the headphones from the case wall, thereby reducing the risk of impact damage and improving the protection of the headphones.
