Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of stands, and more particularly to an earphone charging stand. Background Technology

[0002] In the current wireless headphone market, headband-style wireless headphones are popular among consumers due to their comfort and convenience. These headphones can be hung on a charging stand for charging. In related technologies, the connection between the wireless headphones and the charging stand is typically plug-and-play. For example, the wireless headphones use a Type-C female connector, and the charging stand has a Type-C male connector; the headphones are charged by plugging and unplugging the female connector. However, this plug-and-play method for charging and data exchange is inconvenient in terms of operation and placement, and also results in a certain degree of physical wear and tear.

[0003] Specifically, from a user experience perspective, having to plug and unplug the data cable every time you charge is a relatively cumbersome process. In environments with frequent use, the constant plugging and unplugging of the data cable may cause wear and tear on the cable's connectors, affecting its lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide an earphone charging stand that can extend the service life of the earphone.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this application is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] An earphone charging stand includes a stand, a control module, and a power supply. The stand supports earphones, and the female earphone socket has a magnetic male connector for insertion. The control module is located inside the stand, and the power supply is electrically connected to the control module. The earphone charging stand also includes:

[0007] A magnetic charging assembly is mounted on the bracket and electrically connected to the control module. The magnetic charging assembly includes a charging magnetic head, which is used to engage with the magnetic male head on the earphone to charge the earphone.

[0008] Furthermore, the magnetic charging assembly also includes:

[0009] A connector, which is mounted on the bracket and electrically connected to the control module, is configured to magnetically connect with the charging magnetic head;

[0010] A data cable, one end of which is connected to the connector and the other end of which is connected to the magnetic male connector.

[0011] Furthermore, the connector is provided with a cable management port that matches the shape of the charging magnetic head. When the charging magnetic head is located at the cable management port, it is magnetically connected to the connector.

[0012] Furthermore, the connector includes a connector base and a connecting circuit board. The connector base is connected to the bracket, one end of the data cable is connected to the connector base, the connecting circuit board is located inside the connector base, and the interface of the connecting circuit board is exposed outside the connector base. The interface of the connecting circuit board is connected to the interface of the control module.

[0013] Furthermore, the connecting seat is detachably connected to the bracket by bolts.

[0014] Furthermore, the bracket includes a base and a support member. The support member is disposed on the base. In the vertical direction, the projected surface area of ​​the base is larger than the projected surface area of ​​the support member. The end of the support member away from the base has a concave section for hanging headphones.

[0015] Furthermore, the projection surface of the support member along the vertical direction is completely located within the projection surface of the base.

[0016] Furthermore, the earphone charging stand also includes an indicator module, which includes an indicator circuit board and an indicator light. The indicator circuit board is disposed inside the base, and the indicator light is disposed on the indicator circuit board and protrudes from the base.

[0017] Furthermore, the control module includes a PCB motherboard and a female connector motherboard, both of which are housed within the bracket. The PCB motherboard and the female connector motherboard are electrically connected, and the female connector motherboard is electrically connected to the magnetic charging assembly.

[0018] Furthermore, the power source includes a battery and a charging power cord. The battery is disposed inside the bracket and electrically connected to the control module. The charging power cord is connected to the battery and extends out of the bracket.

[0019] This application provides an earphone charging stand. The charging stand uses a magnetic charging head that magnetically connects to a male magnetic connector inserted into a wireless headphone, thus achieving electrical connection between the charging stand and the wireless headphone for charging. The charging process is simple and can effectively extend the headphone's lifespan.

[0020] In addition, by setting up a connector to magnetically connect with the charging magnetic head, the charging magnetic head can not only connect with the male magnetic head to achieve charging, but also the charging magnetic head and the connector can magnetically cooperate to keep the charging magnetic head in a stable position when stored, reducing the occurrence of data cable tangling.

[0021] Furthermore, the magnetic charging component is detachably connected to the bracket via bolts, allowing the magnetic charging component to be replaced when damaged, or to be replaced with a different type of magnetic charging component. Attached Figure Description

[0039] In related technologies, wireless earbuds and charging stands are connected via a plug-and-play method. For example, the wireless earbuds use a Type-C female connector, and the charging stand has a Type-C male connector. The earbuds are charged by plugging and connecting the male and female connectors. However, relying on a plug-and-play method for charging and data exchange can be inconvenient. For example:

[0040] Inconvenient plug-and-play charging: Users need to frequently plug the earphones into the charging cable to charge, which is inconvenient.

[0041] Easily damaged: The lifespan of charging cables is affected by various factors, typically ranging from 6 months to 2 years. The main influencing factors include usage frequency, material quality, plugging / unplugging method, and storage environment. Frequent plugging / unplugging accelerates interface wear, and inferior cables are prone to breakage or poor contact.

[0042] Cumbersome data cable connection: Although some over-ear wireless headphones support charging and data transfer via data cable, users need to manually connect the data cable, which is cumbersome and prone to charging interruption or unstable data transfer due to loose cable.

[0043] Please see Figures 1 to 5 In order to solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems, embodiments of this application disclose an earphone charging stand 100, on which earphones can be hung and charged.

[0044] Optionally, the headphones can be over-ear wireless headphones 200, with the headband of the over-ear wireless headphones 200 hanging on the headphone charging stand 100. Additionally, the headphone charging stand 100 can also charge the over-ear wireless charging headphones. It should be noted that charging of the over-ear wireless charging headphones is not necessarily related to hanging; in some embodiments, charging may only occur when hanging, while in other embodiments, charging can occur regardless of whether the headphones are hung on the headphone charging stand 100. The headphone's female connector 201 is provided with a mating magnetic male connector 202. The headphone's female connector 201 can be a Type-C female connector 201, and the magnetic male connector 202 can also be a Type-C magnetic male connector 202. Users can connect or disconnect the headphones from the female connector 201 by plugging and unplugging the magnetic male connector 202. When disconnected, the headphone's female connector 201 can be connected to a regular charging cable for charging. When the female connector 201 of the earphone is plugged into the magnetic male connector 202, it can be electrically connected to the earphone charging stand 100 through the magnetic male connector 202 for charging.

[0045] The headphone charging stand 100 includes a stand 10, a control module 20, and a power supply 30. The stand 10 forms the general outer contour of the headphone charging stand 100 and is used to support the headphones so that the headphones can be hung on the stand 10. The control module 20 is located inside the stand 10, and the power supply 30 is electrically connected to the control module 20. The headphone charging stand 100 also includes a magnetic charging assembly 40, which is mounted on the stand 10 and electrically connected to the control module 20. The magnetic charging assembly 40 includes a charging magnetic head 41, which is used to cooperate with the magnetic male head 202 on the headphones to charge the headphones.

[0046] When charging the earphones is needed, simply align the magnetic charging head 41 with the magnetic male headphone 202. The connection terminals of the magnetic charging head 41 and the magnetic male headphone 202 will then make contact, establishing an electrical connection and enabling charging. This magnetic connection eliminates the need for additional plugging and unplugging, making the charging process simple and quick, extending the earphone's lifespan, and significantly improving charging and data transfer efficiency. This automated charging method not only avoids issues like interface misalignment that can occur with traditional plug-and-play charging but also greatly enhances charging convenience and safety.

[0047] In some embodiments, the bracket 10 includes a base 11 and a support member 12. The support member 12 is disposed on the base 11. In the vertical direction, the projected surface area of ​​the base 11 is larger than that of the support member 12. Because the projected area of ​​the base 11 is larger than that of the support member 12, the base 11 can have a larger bottom surface to maintain the stability of the bracket 10. The connection method of the support member 12 to the base 11 is not limited; it can be integrally formed or fixed by means of snap-fit ​​or bolt connection.

[0048] In some embodiments, the projection plane of the vertical support 12 lies entirely within the projection plane of the base 11. Optionally, the support 12 is located approximately at the center of the base 11 to increase the stability of the bracket 10.

[0049] In some embodiments, the support member 12 is generally strip-shaped and vertically arranged, with a concave section 121 located at the top of the support member 12 to facilitate the user hanging the headphones on the concave section 121. A through hole is provided in the middle of the support member 12 to facilitate cable management and enhance the design aesthetics.

[0050] In some embodiments, the base 11 is generally plate-shaped, with a screen-like bottom surface for easy placement and a slightly curved top surface. An anti-slip pad may be provided on the bottom of the base 11.

[0051] In some embodiments, the headphone charging stand 100 further includes an indicator module 50, which includes an indicator circuit board and an indicator light. The indicator circuit board is disposed within the base 11 and is electrically connected to the power supply 30. The indicator light is disposed on the indicator circuit board and protrudes from the base 11. Optionally, the indicator light is disposed on the upper surface of the base 11, and the status of the headphone charging stand 100 or the wireless headphones can be understood by setting the indicator light. For example, whether the wireless headphones are charging, whether charging is complete, the current battery level of the headphone charging stand 100, etc.

[0052] In some embodiments, the charging magnetic head 41 of the magnetic charging assembly 40 is directly mounted on the bracket 10 and directly electrically connected to the control module 20, so as to save materials.

[0053] In some other embodiments, the magnetic charging assembly 40 also includes a connector 42 and a data cable 43, and the charging magnetic head 41 is electrically connected to the control module 20 through the connector 42 and the data cable 43.

[0054] Specifically, connector 42 is mounted on bracket 10 and electrically connected to control module 20. Connector 42 is configured to magnetically connect with charging magnetic head 41. One end of data cable 43 is connected to connector 42, and the other end is connected to magnetic male head 202.

[0055] By using connector 42 and data cable 43, the charging magnetic head 41 can move within a certain range, facilitating user operation and magnetic engagement between the charging magnetic head 41 and the magnetic male connector 202. When the wireless headphones are hung on the headphone charging stand 100, the charging magnetic head 41 can magnetically engage with the magnetic male connector 202. When the wireless headphones do not need charging, connector 42 can be magnetically connected to the charging magnetic head 41 to maintain the stability of the charging magnetic head 41 and reduce the possibility of the data cable 43 becoming tangled.

[0056] In some embodiments, the connector 42 has a cable management port that matches the shape of the charging magnetic head 41. When the charging magnetic head 41 is located in the cable management port, it is magnetically connected to the connector 42. The shape of the charging magnetic head 41 matches the cable management port, so that the charging magnetic head 41 can be inserted into the cable management port, thereby facilitating the maintenance of the stable position of the charging magnetic head 41.

[0057] In some embodiments, the connector 42 includes a connector 421 and a connector circuit board 422. The connector 421 is connected to the bracket 10. One end of the data cable 43 is connected to the connector 421. The connector circuit board 422 is located inside the connector 421, and the interface of the connector circuit board 422 is exposed outside the connector 421. The interface of the connector circuit board 422 is connected to the interface of the control module 20.

[0058] The connector 42 and the control module 20 are electrically connected via an interface-to-interface connection. In other words, the connector 42 and the control module 20 can only be plugged in and unplugged. When the magnetic charging component 40 ages or is damaged, only the magnetic charging component 40 can be replaced, without having to replace the entire headphone charging stand 100, which helps to save costs.

[0059] In some embodiments, the connector 421 is detachably connected to the bracket 10 by bolts. Specifically, the connector 421 is connected to the support member 12 of the bracket 10. Since the magnetic charging assembly 40 rarely needs to be disassembled, the bolt connection can improve the stability of the connector 421 and the bracket 10, and also allows the magnetic charging assembly 40 to be detached from the bracket 10.

[0060] In some embodiments, the control module 20 includes a PCB motherboard 21 and a female connector motherboard 22, both of which are disposed within the bracket 10. Specifically, the PCB motherboard 21 is disposed within the base 11, and the female connector motherboard 22 is disposed within the support member 12. The PCB motherboard 21 and the female connector motherboard 22 are electrically connected, and the female connector motherboard 22 is electrically connected to the magnetic charging assembly 40. The PCB motherboard 21 may have functions such as controlling charging and discharging and detecting whether charging is complete.

[0061] In some embodiments, the power supply 30 includes a battery 31 and a charging power supply 30 cable. The battery 31 is disposed within the bracket 10 and electrically connected to the control module 20. The charging power supply 30 cable is connected to the battery 31 and extends outside the bracket 10. The charging power supply 30 cable can charge the battery 31, so that the wireless headphones can be charged even when the charging power supply 30 cable is not connected to a socket. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the power supply 30 may include only the battery 31 or only the charging power supply 30 cable. When only the battery 31 is included, the battery 31 can be connected to a charging port for charging. When only the charging power supply 30 cable is included, the charging power supply 30 cable is connected to a socket to transfer power to the wireless headphones.

[0062] In summary, the embodiments of this application provide an earphone charging stand 100. This earphone charging stand 100 achieves electrical connection between the earphone charging stand 100 and the wireless earphones by magnetically connecting the charging magnetic head 41 to the magnetic male headphone 202 inserted into the wireless earphones, thus facilitating charging of the wireless earphones. The charging process is simple and can effectively extend the service life. Furthermore, by providing a connector for magnetic connection with the charging magnetic head, the charging magnetic head not only achieves charging by magnetically connecting to the magnetic male head, but also ensures that the charging magnetic head and connector magnetically engage, maintaining a stable position when the charging magnetic head is stored, reducing the occurrence of data cable tangling.

[0063] Furthermore, the magnetic charging component is detachably connected to the bracket via bolts, allowing the magnetic charging component to be replaced when damaged, or to be replaced with a different type of magnetic charging component.

[0064] The above are merely specific embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this application, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
