[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
[0027] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "setting", "connection", "fixing", "screw connection", etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal connection of two components or the interaction between two components. Unless otherwise explicitly limited, those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0028] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0029] Example 1: As shown in the attached document Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 4As shown, a microphone module includes an integrally injection-molded front housing 1. The front housing 1 contains a circuit board 2 housing a microphone. The circuit board 2 is soldered to the front housing 1 via solder pins to enable communication with the vehicle. The circuit board 2 has a sound pickup hole 7. The module also includes a rear housing 3 sealed to the front housing 1. The front housing 1 and the rear housing 3 are assembled and sealed using ultrasonic welding or other methods. The rear housing 3 has a sound pickup channel 4, which includes a first sound pickup channel 41 and a second sound pickup channel 42. The first sound pickup channel 41 and the second sound pickup channel 42 are offset but connected. This offset arrangement prevents water from directly impacting the sound pickup area on the waterproof and dustproof component 6, thus protecting the microphone from damage.

[0031] The cross-section of the first pickup channel 41 is square or racetrack-shaped, and the cross-section of the second pickup channel 42 is square or racetrack-shaped, or of course, other feasible shapes are also possible.
[0032] The total height H of the pickup channel 4 is the sum of the height h1 of the first pickup channel 41 and the height h2 of the second pickup channel 42, and the height h1 of the first pickup channel 41 is half of the total height H of the pickup channel 4.
[0033] The length and width of the first pickup channel 41 are three times the diameter of the pickup hole 7, respectively; the length and width of the second pickup channel 42 are also three times the diameter of the pickup hole 7, respectively.
[0034] The outer side of the rear housing 3 is also provided with a damping dustproof net 5. The damping dustproof net 5 is a foam net. The damping dustproof net 5 is provided with a groove 51. The groove 51 is located at a position corresponding to the position of the sound pickup channel 4, and the lower end of the groove 51 extends to the outer side of the damping dustproof net 5.
[0035] A waterproof and dustproof component 6 is provided between the circuit board 2 and the rear housing 3. The waterproof and dustproof component 6 is a waterproof foam mesh.
[0036] Example 2: As shown in the attached document Figure 5 Appendix Figure 6 As shown, the structure is the same as in Embodiment 1, except that it includes two second pickup channels 42, which are respectively located on the left and right sides or the top and bottom sides of the first pickup channel 41.
[0037] The total height H of the pickup channel 4 is the sum of the height h1 of the first pickup channel 41 and the height h2 of the second pickup channel 42, and the height h1 of the first pickup channel 41 is greater than half of the total height H of the pickup channel 4.
[0038] The length and width of the first pickup channel 41 are each twice the diameter of the pickup hole 7; the length and width of the second pickup channel 42 are also twice the diameter of the pickup hole 7.
[0039] Example 3: As shown in the attached document Figure 6 As shown, the structure is the same as in Embodiment 1, except that it includes four second pickup channels 42, which are respectively located at the four corners of the first pickup channel 41.
[0040] The total height H of the pickup channel 4 is the sum of the height h1 of the first pickup channel 41 and the height h2 of the second pickup channel 42, and the height h1 of the first pickup channel 41 is less than half of the total height H of the pickup channel 4.
[0041] The length and width of the first pickup channel 41 are each 5 times the diameter of the pickup hole 7; the length and width of the second pickup channel 42 are also 5 times the diameter of the pickup hole 7.
[0042] Of course, the number or position of the second pickup channel 42 can be set according to the actual needs of the product, such as one, two, three, four, etc., and the position can be adjusted accordingly based on the actual situation.
[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
