[0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the technical field of wireless earphones, and in particular, to a wireless earphone key waterproof component and a wireless earphone. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the increasing demand for use of wireless earphones in different environments, the requirement for waterproof performance is also increasingly high. Many manufacturers have begun to cancel the physical keys of wireless earphones and replace them with virtual keys. The wireless earphones are controlled by touching the virtual keys. The virtual keys reduce the gaps and openings on the surface of the earphones, which is conducive to improving the waterproof performance of the wireless earphones at the key positions.
[0003] However, when the virtual keys are used to improve the waterproof performance of the wireless earphones, the following technical problems often exist:
[0004] It is easy to cause poor user experience. The virtual keys do not have the physical feedback of the physical keys, and the user may not accurately perceive whether the operation is successful when operating, and the mis-touching situation is easy to occur. For example, when adjusting the wearing position of the earphones, the finger may slide through the virtual key and trigger the virtual key, causing the music to suddenly pause or switch, etc.
[0005] The above information disclosed in the background section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the background of the present disclosure concept, and therefore, it can contain information that does not form the prior art known to those of ordinary skill in the art. SUMMARY
[0006] The summary section is provided to introduce the concepts briefly in a simplified form, which will be described in detail in the specific embodiments section later. The summary section is not intended to identify key or essential features of the claimed technical solutions nor is it intended to be used to limit the scope of the claimed technical solutions.
[0007] Some embodiments of the present disclosure propose a wireless earphone key waterproof component and a wireless earphone to solve one or more of the technical problems mentioned in the background section.
[0008] In a first aspect, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a wireless earphone key waterproof component, which comprises a key body, an elastic sealing pad, a fixing sheet and a shell, wherein the key body is integrally formed and comprises a pressing part and a connecting part, the top surface of the pressing part is an arc-shaped curved surface, the connecting part is a columnar structure connected to the bottom surface of the pressing part, and a clamping groove is arranged on the side surface of the columnar structure; the elastic sealing pad is hollow and has two open ends; the areas of the two end surfaces of the elastic sealing pad are different; the shell is provided with a mounting groove and a supporting edge; the key body and the elastic sealing pad are coaxially assembled, and the key body and the elastic sealing pad are mounted in the mounting groove; the middle of the fixing sheet abuts against the clamping groove; and the two ends of the fixing sheet abut against the supporting edge.

[0015] Optionally, the side surface of the mounting groove is parallel to the axial direction of the key body, and the surface is smooth.
[0016] Optionally, the width of the clamping groove is greater than the thickness of the fixing sheet.

[0018] Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a wireless earphone key waterproof component, which can improve user experience. Specifically, the reason why the user experience of the waterproof key of most wireless earphones is poor is that in order to improve the waterproof performance, many manufacturers cancel the physical keys of the wireless earphones and replace them with virtual keys. The wireless earphones are controlled by touching the virtual keys. However, the virtual keys do not have the physical feedback of the physical keys, and the user may not accurately perceive whether the operation is successful when operating, and mis-touching is likely to occur. For example, when adjusting the wearing position of the earphones, the finger may slide over the virtual key and trigger the virtual key, causing the music to suddenly pause or switch, and so on. Thus, the user experience is poor. Based on this, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a wireless earphone key waterproof component, which includes a key body, an elastic sealing pad, a fixing sheet, and a shell. The key body is integrally formed and includes a pressing part and a connecting part. The top surface of the pressing part is an arc-shaped curved surface. The connecting part is a columnar structure connected to the bottom surface of the pressing part, and a clamping groove is arranged on the side surface of the columnar structure.

The middle of the fixing sheet abuts against the clamping groove, and the two ends of the fixing sheet abut against the support edge. The elastic sealing pad can give feedback to the user when pressing while playing a waterproof role. Because the elastic sealing pad supports the key body, the possibility of mis-touching when adjusting the wearing position of the earphones is reduced. Thus, the user experience can be improved.

[0029] This disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0030] Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of a waterproof component for wireless earphone buttons according to some embodiments of this disclosure. Figure 1 It includes a button body 1, an elastic sealing gasket 2, a fixing piece 3, a housing 4, a mounting groove 8, and an electronic button 10.
[0031] Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of a waterproof component for a wireless earphone button according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, viewed from another perspective. Figure 2 It includes an elastic sealing gasket 2, a fixing piece 3, a pressing part 5, a connecting part 6, a snap-fit groove 7, a supporting ridge 9, and an electronic button 10.
[0032] Figure 3 This is a structural schematic diagram of the fixing piece of the waterproof component for wireless earphone buttons according to this disclosure. Figure 3 Includes fixing piece 3.
[0033] In some embodiments, the waterproof key component of the wireless earphone can include a key body 1, an elastic sealing pad 2, a fixing sheet 3, and a shell 4. The key body 1 can be integrally formed. The material of the key body 1 can be acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS plastic), which is not limited here. The key body 1 can include a pressing part 5 and a connecting part 6. The pressing part 5 can be used to directly contact the user's finger. In order to achieve comfortable pressing, the top surface of the pressing part 5 can be an arc-shaped curved surface. The connecting part 6 can be used to be mounted to the inside of the wireless earphone, and through the structural design of the inside of the earphone, the key body 1 can be fixed on the wireless earphone in an axial direction. The connecting part 6 can be a column-shaped structure connected to the bottom surface of the pressing part 5, and a clamping groove 7 can be arranged on the side surface of the column-shaped structure. The clamping groove 7 can be a groove arranged on both sides of the column-shaped structure.
[0034] In some embodiments, the elastic sealing pad 2 can be a circular truncated cone structure. For reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 The cross section of the elastic sealing pad 2 is shown to be generally trapezoidal. The inside of the elastic sealing pad 2 can be hollow. The two ends of the elastic sealing pad 2, i.e., the upper and lower ends of the circular truncated cone structure, can be provided with openings. The inside of the elastic sealing pad 2 is hollow, so as to provide sufficient deformation space for the elastic sealing pad 2 when the user presses the key body 1. The elastic sealing pad 2 is provided with openings at both ends, so that the key body 1 can pass through the elastic sealing pad 2 from the two openings of the elastic sealing pad 2. The material of the elastic sealing pad 2 can be rubber or silicone. Here, it is not limited, as long as the material can meet the waterproof requirement and has appropriate elasticity. The elastic sealing pad 2 is provided with a circular truncated cone structure, so as to provide deformation space for the elastic sealing pad 2 when the user presses the key body 1. The principle is that the elastic sealing pad 2 has an inclination angle in the axial direction, which can provide sufficient deformation space for the elastic sealing pad 2 when it is pressed. For example, a hollow soft rubber cylinder with a circular truncated cone appearance and a hollow soft rubber cylinder with a circular column appearance are respectively placed in two cylindrical grooves with the same shape. From the axial direction, the two hollow soft rubber cylinders are pressed downward. It can be seen that the hollow soft rubber cylinder with a circular column appearance is not easy to deform, while the hollow soft rubber cylinder with a circular truncated cone appearance can easily collapse and deform downward. When assembling, the connecting part 6 can pass through the smaller area end of the elastic sealing pad 2, and the smaller area end can be in contact with the bottom surface of the pressing part 5. In this way, the key body 1 can be limited when entering the elastic sealing pad 2, so as to prevent the key body 1 from deviating during pressing.
[0035] In some embodiments, the shell 4 can be provided with a mounting groove 8 and a support ridge 9. The mounting groove 8 can be a groove provided on the outer surface of the shell 4 to the inside of the shell 4. The mounting groove 8 can be used for mounting the key body 1 and the elastic sealing gasket 2. The support ridge 9 can be a ridge-shaped protrusion provided inside the shell 4, which can be used to support and limit the fixing sheet 3. The material of the shell 4 can include, but is not limited to, one or more of the following: ABS plastic, polycarbonate (PC), carbon fiber composite material.
[0036] In some embodiments, the key body 1 and the elastic sealing gasket 2 can be coaxially assembled, and the elastic sealing gasket 2 can uniformly provide support force to the key body 1. The key body 1 and the elastic sealing gasket 2 can be mounted in the mounting groove 8. The elastic sealing gasket 2 is mounted into the mounting groove 8 to fix the elastic sealing gasket 2. Because the key body 1 and the elastic sealing gasket 2 are coaxially assembled, only when the elastic sealing gasket 2 is fixed can the key body 1 be fixed in the mounting groove 8.
[0037] In some embodiments, the middle of the fixing sheet 3 can abut against the clamping groove 7. The two ends of the fixing sheet 3 can abut against the support ridge 9. The fixing sheet 3 can be a sheet-shaped structure with an opening in the middle and bends on both sides. During assembly, the key body 1 can be placed in the appropriate position first, and then the opening in the middle of the fixing sheet 3 is aligned with the clamping groove 7 and inserted, thereby fixing the key body 1. It should be noted that the fixing here means that the key body 1 is fixed so as not to move axially. After the fixing sheet 3 is fixed, the key body 1 can move in the axial direction. The two ends of the fixing sheet 3 abut against the support ridge 9 to fix the fixing sheet 3 from sliding. The material of the fixing sheet 3 can be metal, which is not limited here. The structure of the fixing sheet 3 can be referred to Figure 3 .
[0038] Optionally, as Figure 1As shown, the waterproof key component of the wireless earphone can further comprise an electronic key 10. The electronic key 10 can be connected with the circuit board of the earphone. The central axis of the electronic key 10 can be collinear with the central axis of the key body 1, i.e. the key body 1 and the electronic key 10 are coaxially assembled. The bottom surface of the key body 1 needs to be able to contact the top surface of the electronic key 10, so that when the key body 1 is pressed, the electronic key 10 can also be pressed. The electronic key 10 can serve as a communication medium for the key body 1 and the circuit board. During use, the user presses down the key body 1, and the key body 1 presses down the electronic key 10. Because the electronic key 10 is connected with the circuit board, the electronic key 10 can communicate with the circuit board through the change of on-off state. By pressing the electronic key 10, common operation instructions such as playing, pausing, switching songs, adjusting volume, etc. can be transmitted and executed. The electronic key 10 can be a potzai key or a patch key, which is not specifically limited here.
[0039] Optionally, as shown, Figures 1-2 The mounting groove 8 can be a groove with a hole in the bottom surface. The key body 1 can pass through the shell 4 through the hole. The purpose of passing through the shell 4 is to enable the key body 1 to be linked with the electronic key 10, and to be able to control the earphone by pressing the key body 1. In order to enable the key body 1 to slide down smoothly, the hole needs to be able to accommodate the connection part 6 to enter, and the mounting groove 8 needs to be able to accommodate the pressing part 5 to enter. Therefore, the hole needs to be pre-set to match the profile of the connection part 6, and the opening profile of the mounting groove 8 needs to match the profile of the pressing part 5.
[0040] Optionally, as shown, Figure 1As shown in the figure, the side of the elastic sealing gasket 2 is provided with an inclination angle in the axial direction of the key body 1. The purpose of setting the inclination angle is to provide sufficient deformation space for the elastic sealing gasket 2 when the key body 1 is pressed down. The angle of the inclination angle can be 20°-40°. The larger the inclination angle, the more easily the elastic sealing gasket 2 is pressed and deformed. The inclination angle can be appropriately adjusted according to different groups of users of the earphone. For example, the inclination angle can be appropriately increased for the elderly or other groups of people with weak finger strength. When facing ordinary users, an inclination angle of 30° can make the pressing feedback of the key more sufficient. When the user presses the key body 1, the 30° inclination angle provides sufficient deformation space for the elastic sealing gasket 2. Compared with no inclination angle or unreasonable angle design, the elastic sealing gasket 2 can more smoothly elastically deform, reduce the pressing resistance, and make the user feel the operation experience of lightness and good pressing. The rebound effect of the key is enhanced, and the hand feeling consistency is improved. The inclination angle cooperates with the elasticity of the elastic sealing gasket 2 to provide a more powerful rebound when the key is released, so that the key quickly returns to the original position and improves the operation rhythm. Moreover, stable rebound performance helps to ensure the consistency of the hand feeling of each pressing, avoids the difference in hand feeling, and further improves the user experience.
[0041] Optionally, as shown in the figure, Figures 1-2 The top end of the elastic sealing gasket 2 can be in contact with the bottom surface of the pressing part 5. The bottom end of the elastic sealing gasket 2 can be in contact with the bottom surface of the mounting groove 8. The contact of the upper and lower ends of the elastic sealing gasket 2 tightly connects the pressing part 5 and the mounting groove 8, to a certain extent, prevents the elastic sealing gasket 2 from sliding with the movement of the key body 1, and ensures the hand feeling of the user when pressing.
[0042] Optionally, as shown in the figure, Figures 1-2 The top end of the elastic sealing gasket 2 can be in interference fit with the connecting part 6. It should be noted that the interference fit of the top end of the elastic sealing gasket 2 with the connecting part 6 means that the opening of the top end of the elastic sealing gasket 2 is sleeved on the connecting part 6. The bottom end of the elastic sealing gasket 2 can be in interference fit with the side wall of the mounting groove 8. The interference fit at the above two places is for the purpose of waterproofing. Moreover, the elastic sealing gasket 2 is also made of soft rubber material, which can further enhance the waterproof function. Figure 2 For example, the interference fit of the elastic sealing gasket 2, the connecting part 6 and the mounting groove 8 divides the mounting groove 8 into two spaces above and below the elastic sealing gasket 2. Assuming that water enters the space above the elastic sealing gasket 2 from the gap between the pressing part 5 and the mounting groove 8, due to the interference fit, the water cannot enter the inside of the earphone.
[0043] Optionally, as shown in the figure, Figures 1-2As shown, the top surface of the pressing part 5 protrudes from the surface of the shell 4. This makes the boundary between the key body 1 and the shell 4 clear, making it easy for the user to accurately position the pressing part 5. The key body 1 can be 0.7mm higher than the shell. 0.7mm is a suitable height for a wireless earphone with a generally small size. This allows the user to quickly and accurately find the position of the key body 1 by touching it with the finger without the aid of vision. In scenarios such as sports and driving where it is not possible to look at the earphone, this design greatly improves operational efficiency, allowing the user to directly perform operations such as playing, pausing, and switching songs without having to spend too much effort searching for the key body 1, thereby avoiding incorrect triggering of functions due to accidental touch of other parts and reducing the probability of incorrect operation. Compared with a flush key, the protruding key body 1 is more directional when operating. The user can more clearly apply force to the key body 1, making the operation more accurate and reliable, and improving the convenience of using the earphone in various scenarios.
[0044] Optionally, as shown in Figures 1-2 The side surface of the mounting groove 8 is parallel to the axial direction of the key body 1 and is smooth. This arrangement allows the key body 1 to slide along the mounting groove 8 and restricts the key body 1 from deviating.
[0045] Optionally, as shown in Figure 2 The width of the clamping groove 7 can be greater than the thickness of the fixing sheet 3. This arrangement allows the key body 1 to have a certain range of movement in the axial direction after the fixing sheet 3 is inserted into the clamping groove 7, ensuring that the key body 1 can perform the key function.
[0046] Figure 4 is a cross-sectional structure diagram of some optional embodiments of the waterproof key component of the wireless earphone according to the present disclosure. Figure 4 It includes an elastic sealing pad 2, a shell 4, a connecting part 6, a positioning protrusion 11, and a positioning recess 12. It should be noted that Figure 4 The cross section is perpendicular to the axial direction of the key body 1.
[0047] Optionally, as shown in Figure 4 The side surface of the connecting part 6 can be provided with a positioning protrusion 11. The positioning protrusion 11 is on the periphery of the connecting part 6 and extends along Figure 1The button body 1 shown above has an axially arranged strip-shaped protrusion. A positioning recess 12 may be provided at the opening at the top of the elastic sealing pad 2. The positioning recess 12 refers to the arc-shaped portion at the opening at the top of the elastic sealing pad 2. For example, when the opening at the top of the elastic sealing pad 2 is shaped like a racetrack, that is, two parallel lines are connected on the left and right by a pair of arcs with equal radii. In this case, the arc is the positioning recess 12. The outer contour of the positioning protrusion 11 can match the contour of the positioning recess 12, and the number of positioning protrusions 11 and positioning recesses 12 can be the same. The positioning protrusion 11 can fit tightly against the positioning recess 12. Through the cooperation of the positioning protrusion 11 and the positioning recess 12, it can be ensured to a certain extent that the button body 1 will not rotate relative to the elastic sealing pad 2. On the cross-section of the elastic sealing pad 2, the length and width of the outline presented by the cross-section can be unequal. This design allows the elastic sealing pad 2 to be installed in... Figure 1 The button body 1 will not easily rotate within the mounting groove 8 shown above. Correspondingly, the contour of the inner wall of the mounting groove 8 can be the same as the largest cross-sectional contour of the elastic sealing gasket 2. This allows the elastic sealing gasket 2 to be installed into the mounting groove 8 while also preventing rotation of the elastic sealing gasket 2 within the mounting groove 8 to a certain extent. Furthermore, due to the cooperation between the positioning protrusion 11 and the positioning recess 12, the button body 1 will not easily rotate relative to the elastic sealing gasket 2, thus preventing easy rotation between the button body 1 and the mounting groove 8. The advantage of preventing easy rotation is that the elastic sealing gasket 2 will not easily rub against the mounting groove 8, thereby preventing wear and tear on the elastic sealing gasket 2 and affecting the waterproofing effect.
[0048] The above-described optional embodiments, as an inventive point of this disclosure, solve the technical problem of "wear on the elastic sealing gasket caused by the rotation of the wireless earphone button". The specific factors causing the earphone button to rotate and thus wear on the elastic sealing gasket are as follows: When using wireless earphones, since the earphones are worn on the ears, users cannot operate the earphones by visually locating the button position. They often need to use their fingers to feel for the button. During this process, the friction of the fingers may cause the button to rotate, thereby causing the elastic sealing gasket to rotate. This results in wear on the elastic sealing gasket. Solving the above factors can reduce the wear on the elastic sealing gasket. To achieve this effect, this disclosure further provides a method to solve the above problem by providing a positioning protrusion on the side of the connecting portion and a positioning recess at the top opening of the elastic sealing gasket. The positioning protrusion and the positioning recess fit together. This prevents the rotation of the button body, thereby reducing the wear on the elastic sealing gasket.
[0049] Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a wireless earphone key waterproof component, which can improve user experience. Specifically, the reason why the waterproof key of most wireless earphones causes poor user experience is that in order to improve waterproof performance, many manufacturers cancel the physical keys of wireless earphones and replace them with virtual keys. The wireless earphone is controlled by touching the virtual key. However, the virtual key does not have the physical feedback of the physical key, and the user may not accurately perceive whether the operation is successful when operating, and it is easy to cause misoperation. For example, when adjusting the wearing position of the earphone, the finger may slide over the virtual key and trigger the virtual key, causing the music to suddenly pause or switch, etc. Thus, the user experience is poor. Based on this, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a wireless earphone key waterproof component, which includes a key body, an elastic sealing pad, a fixing sheet and a shell, wherein the key body is integrally formed and includes a pressing part and a connecting part, the top surface of the pressing part is an arc-shaped curved surface, the connecting part is a column-shaped structure connected to the bottom surface of the pressing part, and a clamping groove is provided on the side surface of the column-shaped structure; the elastic sealing pad is hollow and has two open ends; the areas of the two end surfaces of the elastic sealing pad are different; the shell is provided with a mounting groove and a support edge; the key body and the elastic sealing pad are coaxially assembled, and the key body and the elastic sealing pad are mounted in the mounting groove; the middle of the fixing sheet abuts against the clamping groove; and the two ends of the fixing sheet abut against the support edge. The elastic sealing pad can not only play a waterproof role, but also give feedback to the user when pressed. It is also because the elastic sealing pad supports the key body that the possibility of misoperation when adjusting the wearing position of the earphone is reduced. Thus, the user experience can be improved.
[0050] In some embodiments, the wireless earphone includes an earphone body and a key body as described above. Figures 1-3 The wireless earphone key waterproof component is mounted on the earphone body.
[0051] Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a wireless earphone, which can improve user experience. Specifically, the reason why most wireless earphones have poor user experience is that in order to improve waterproof performance, many manufacturers cancel the physical buttons of the wireless earphones and replace them with virtual buttons. The wireless earphone is controlled by touching the virtual button. However, the virtual button has no physical feedback of the physical button, and the user may not accurately perceive whether the operation is successful when operating, and is prone to accidental touch. For example, when adjusting the wearing position of the earphone, the finger may slide over the virtual button and trigger the virtual button, causing the music to suddenly pause or switch, etc. Thus, the user experience is poor. Based on this, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a wireless earphone, which includes an earphone body and a wireless earphone button waterproof member. The wireless earphone button waterproof member is installed on the earphone body. The wireless earphone button waterproof member can give feedback to the user while playing a waterproof role. Also, because the wireless earphone button waterproof member needs a certain pressure to trigger, it reduces the possibility of accidental touch when the user adjusts the wearing position of the earphone. Thus, the user experience can be improved.
[0052] The above description is merely some preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and a description of the principles of the technology used. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the application involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited to the technical solutions formed by the specific combinations of the above technical features, and should also cover other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above technical features or their equivalent features without departing from the above inventive concept.
