Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of headphone technology, specifically to a headphone with a cable storage structure. Background Technology
[0002] Headphone cable management refers to the technical means of organizing and bundling headphone cables in an orderly manner to avoid tangling. With the popularization of portable audio devices, headphones, as the core accessory for audio output, are used in increasingly diverse scenarios, from daily commutes to sports and fitness. Users' demand for the portability of headphones continues to rise. As a key component connecting the headphone body and the audio interface, the headphone cable usually needs to meet the needs of different usage distances. Overly long cables are prone to tangling and knotting when not in use, which not only affects the carrying experience but may also cause internal wires to break due to frequent pulling and bending. Therefore, efficient headphone cable management technology has become a key aspect of improving the practicality and durability of headphone products.
[0003] Traditional headphone cable management often relies on manual winding or simple cable ties. Manual winding is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also results in messy cable arrangement, requiring reorganization before each use, severely impacting efficiency. While some simple storage solutions include basic winding devices, they are mostly single-section structures that cannot be used for different sections of the headphone cable, leading to tangling during storage and accelerated wear over time. Furthermore, traditional storage structures lack protection for cable connections and functional modules, easily causing additional stress at the connection between the headphone cable and the power module during storage, shortening the headphone's lifespan. These shortcomings significantly limit the ease of use and user experience of headphone products. Therefore, we propose a headphone with a cable management structure. Utility Model Content

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.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 An earphone with a cable storage structure, comprising:
[0024] The device consists of an earphone body 1, an earphone cable 2, and a storage case 3. One end of the earphone cable 2 is connected to two earphone bodies 1, and the other end of the earphone cable 2 is connected to an earphone plug. The earphone cable 2 is located inside the storage case 3, while the earphone bodies 1 and the earphone plug are located on the outside of the storage case 3.
[0025] The first storage mechanism is set inside the storage box 3. The first storage mechanism is symmetrically distributed inside the storage box 3. One end of the headphone cable 2 cooperates with the first storage mechanism.
[0026] A second storage mechanism is set inside the storage box 3. The second storage mechanism is located below the first storage mechanism, and the other end of the headphone cable 2 cooperates with the second storage mechanism.
[0027] Furthermore, the storage box 3 has a partition 14 on the upper part of its interior, and partitions 25 on both sides of partition 14. A wire end storage cavity is opened between partitions 14 and 25. Partitions 37 are located on both sides of the lower part of the storage box 3. A wire end storage cavity 18 is opened between the two partitions 37. A wire end connection cavity 16 is opened between the wire end storage cavity and the wire end storage cavity 18. The wire end connection cavity 16 is located in the center of the storage box 3. This provides clear and independent placement space for different sections of the headphone cable 2 and the power module, realizing a reasonable division of the internal space. This allows the headphone cable 2 and the power module to have fixed positions in the storage box 3, avoiding mutual interference and laying a spatial foundation for subsequent storage operations.
[0028] Furthermore, the first storage mechanism consists of a first rotating ring 4, a first gear 5, a second gear 6, and a first storage rod 7. The cylindrical surface of the first storage rod 7 is provided with annular first storage retaining rings 12 on both sides. One end of the first storage rod 7 is fitted with the second gear 6, which is located outside the first storage retaining ring 12. The headphone wire 2 is wound around the first storage rod 7, and one end of the headphone wire 2 extends through the storage box 3 to the outside. This clarifies the composition of the first storage mechanism and the function of its core components. The first storage rod 7 is the carrier for winding the headphone wire 2, and the gear is the key to power transmission, providing a structural basis for the first storage mechanism to store the headphone wire 2.
[0029] Furthermore, the first storage rod 7 is located inside the cable head storage cavity, and both ends of the first storage rod 7 pass through the first partition 14 and the second partition 15. The second gear 6 is located between the second partition 15 and the earphone body 1. Two first rotating rings 4 are located at both ends of the storage box 3, and the ends of the first rotating rings 4 extend through the storage box 3 and into the interior of the storage box 3 and the second partition 15. The ends of the first rotating rings 4 are fitted with the first gear 5, which meshes with the second gear 6. This clarifies the spatial layout and transmission connection method of each component of the first storage mechanism within the storage box 3, ensuring that when the first rotating ring 4 rotates, the power can be effectively transmitted to the first storage rod 7 through gear transmission, allowing the first storage rod 7 to rotate smoothly within the cable head storage cavity to store the earphone cable 2.
[0030] Furthermore, the second storage mechanism consists of a second storage rod 8, a third gear 9, a fourth gear 10, and a second rotating ring 11. The second storage rod 8 has two circular second storage retaining rings 13 on both sides, and the third gear 9 is fitted onto the left end of the second storage rod 8. The second storage rod 8 is located inside the end-of-line storage cavity 18, and both ends of the second storage rod 8 pass through the partition 17 for rotatable engagement. The other end of the headphone cable 2 is wound around the cylindrical surface of the second storage rod 8. This clarifies the composition of the second storage mechanism and the basic functions of each component. The second storage rod 8 is used to wind the other end of the headphone cable 2, and the gears and rotating ring are responsible for power input and transmission, providing structural support for the second storage mechanism to store the corresponding section of the headphone cable 2. This clarifies its core components and working mechanism.
[0031] Furthermore, the second rotating ring 11 is located at the left end of the storage box 3, and the end of the second rotating ring 11 extends through the storage box 3 and into the interior of the storage box 3 and the partition 3 17. The end of the second rotating ring 11 is fitted with a fourth gear 10, which is located between the storage box 3 and the partition 3 17. The fourth gear 10 meshes with the third gear 9, which determines the spatial distribution and power transmission path of each component of the second storage mechanism in the storage box 3. This ensures that when the second rotating ring 11 is rotated, the second storage rod 8 can be driven to rotate in the end storage cavity 18 through gear transmission, thereby completing the storage of the corresponding headphone wire 2.
[0032] Furthermore, a power module is provided in the middle of the headphone cable 2, and the power module is located inside the cable connection cavity 16. The two headphone cables 2 connected to the top of the power module extend to the inside of the partition 14 on both sides and are wrapped around the first storage rod 7. The headphone cable 2 connected to the bottom of the power module extends to the inside of the cable end storage cavity 18 and is wrapped around the second storage rod 8. This clarifies the placement of the power module and the overall connection path of the headphone cable 2, making the direction of the headphone cable 2 clear. The power module becomes the middle fulcrum for storing the headphone cable 2, ensuring that the upper and lower sections of the headphone cable 2 can be stored in conjunction with the corresponding storage rods, thus achieving the continuity of headphone cable 2 storage.

[0043] Fourth gear 10: Fitted at the end of the second rotating ring 11, meshing with the third gear 9, transmitting the power of the second rotating ring 11 to the third gear 9, thus realizing power transmission;
[0044] The second rotating ring 11 is located at the left end of the storage box 3, with the fourth gear 10 sleeved at the end. When it rotates, it drives the second storage rod 8 through gear transmission, and is the power source for the second storage.
[0045] First storage retaining ring 12: It is arranged in a circular shape on both sides of the first storage rod 7 to limit the winding position of the headphone wire 2, prevent the wire from deviating, and ensure orderly storage;
[0046] The second storage retaining ring 13 is circular and located on both sides of the second storage rod 8. It restricts the winding range of the headphone cable 2, prevents the cable from becoming tangled, and ensures that it is neatly stored.

[0048] Partition 2 15: On both sides of Partition 1 14, it forms a wire end storage cavity with Partition 1 14, providing installation and storage space for the first storage mechanism and corresponding wires;
[0049] Wire end connection cavity 16: Located in the center of the storage box 3, it houses the power module, connects the wire end storage cavity and the wire end storage cavity 18, and is the intermediate hub for the wire routing.
[0050] Partition 3 17: On both sides of the lower part of the storage box 3, a wire end storage cavity 18 is formed to provide installation and storage space for the second storage mechanism and related wires;
[0051] The cable end storage cavity 18 is formed by two partitions 17, which accommodate the second storage rod 8 and the wound headphone cable segment, providing storage space for this part of the cable.
[0052] Working principle: The earphone body 1 is connected to the earphone plug via the earphone cable 2. The main body of the earphone cable 2 is stored inside the storage box 3, with only the earphone body 1 and the plug at both ends on the outside. The storage box 3 is divided into three major functional chambers by partition 14, partition 25, and partition 37: the upper two sides of the cable end storage chamber, the middle cable end connection chamber 16, and the lower cable end storage chamber 18. Different sections of the earphone cable 2 correspond to different chambers to complete the storage action. The first storage mechanism is symmetrically distributed in the cable end storage chamber, consisting of a first rotating ring 4, a first gear 5, and a second... The device consists of a gear 6 and a first storage rod 7. When it is necessary to store the headphone cable connecting the headphone body 1, the first rotating rings 4 at both ends of the storage box 3 are rotated. The first gear 5, whose end extends into the second partition 15, rotates synchronously. Since the first gear 5 meshes with the second gear 6 sleeved at the end of the first storage rod 7, power is transmitted to the first storage rod 7 through gear transmission, causing the first storage rod 7 to rotate in the space between the first partition 14 and the second partition 15. At this time, the headphone cable 2 wrapped around the first storage rod 7 is orderly wound under the limiting action of the first storage retaining ring 12. On the surface of the rod, excess wire is collected into the wire end storage cavity, achieving initial storage of the wire near the headphone body 1. The second storage mechanism, located below the first storage mechanism, is responsible for storing the wire connecting the headphone plug. When the second rotating ring 11 at the left end of the storage box 3 is rotated, its end fourth gear 10 drives the meshing third gear 9 to rotate, thereby driving the second storage rod 8 to rotate within the wire end storage cavity 18. Under the constraint of the second storage retaining ring 13, the headphone wire 2 is tightly wound around the surface of the second storage rod 8, and the wire is collected into the wire end storage cavity 18, completing the initial storage of the wire near the headphone body 1. The cable is stored near the plug. Meanwhile, the power module in the middle of the headphone cable 2 is fixed in the cable connection cavity 16, becoming the central fulcrum for cable storage. The two branch cables at the top extend through the cable connection cavity 16 to the cable end storage cavities on both sides, cooperating with the first storage mechanism. The single cable at the bottom extends through the same connection cavity to the cable end storage cavity 18, cooperating with the second storage mechanism. The two storage mechanisms operate independently, which not only avoids cable tangling but also achieves physical isolation of different sections of the cable through the chambers formed by the partitions, ultimately achieving efficient and orderly storage of the headphone cable.
