Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic device technology, and more particularly to a housing and an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of technology, Bluetooth headsets and their matching charging cases are widely used in people's work and life. Traditional charging cases are generally made of plastic, which reduces their aesthetic appeal and texture. Charging cases with metal shells, which improve aesthetics and texture, are generally only used to charge Bluetooth headsets. However, as Bluetooth headsets continue to develop, consumers' requirements for the appearance, materials, texture, and functionality of charging cases are also constantly increasing. While it's possible to install an antenna inside a charging case with a metal shell to transmit signals to the Bluetooth headset, the metal shell and other internal electronic components can easily interfere with the antenna's signal transmission, resulting in weaker signal strength between the antenna and the Bluetooth headset, thus reducing signal transmission stability and compromising antenna performance.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] 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, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the box 100 provided in one embodiment of this application. Figure 2 for Figure 1 An exploded view of the box 100. The box 100 includes a housing 1 and an insulating part 2. The housing 1 includes a lower housing 11 and an upper housing 12. The upper housing 12 cooperates with the lower housing 11 to form a receiving cavity. The lower housing 11 includes a metal housing part. The metal housing part is provided with at least one first through hole 111. Each first through hole 111 corresponds to a functional area 112. The insulating part 2 is disposed around the functional area 112 in the first through hole 111 to insulate the metal housing part and the functional area 112. The functional area 112 is used to assemble functional components, including at least two of the following: an antenna assembly 3, a display assembly 6, a charging interface 5, a sound-generating device, a microphone, a button 70, and a metal pin 103.

[0030] At least a portion of the lower housing 11 of the housing 100 in this application is a metal housing, which improves the aesthetics and texture of the housing 100. Furthermore, through-holes are provided on the metal housing portion, and the insulating portion 2 insulates the functional area 112 from the metal housing portion. Therefore, when the functional components assembled in the functional area 112 include the antenna assembly 3, not only can the interference of the metal housing portion and other internal electronic components with the signal transmission of the antenna assembly 3 be avoided, but the signal strength transmitted by the antenna assembly 3 can also be enhanced, thereby improving its signal transmission stability. This allows the antenna assembly 3 to better perform its function. Moreover, when multiple functional components are assembled in a functional area 112 with one through-hole, the number of through-holes can be reduced compared to the technique of setting multiple functional components in multiple through-holes, further improving the aesthetics and increasing the structural strength of the housing 1 of the housing 100.

[0031] The entire lower housing 11 can be made of metal, so the entire lower housing 11 can be regarded as a metal housing part. The lower housing 11 can also be partially made of metal, so the part made of metal is the metal housing part.

[0032] In some embodiments, the lower housing 11 is further provided with at least one second through hole 113, each second through hole 113 is provided with a functional area 112, and the insulating part 2 is disposed around the functional area 112 in the second through hole 113.

[0033] Provided that at least two functional components are assembled in the functional area 112, in order to avoid setting too many functional components in the same through hole and affecting the user's ease of use, one or more functional components can be set in the functional area 112 of other through holes. Therefore, the lower housing 11 can be provided with at least one second through hole 113 to correspondingly set at least one functional area 112, so as to avoid assembling too many functional components in the functional area 112 within a through hole and causing inconvenience to the user.

[0034] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 for Figure 1 The diagram shows a three-dimensional structure of the housing 100 without the upper housing 12. In some embodiments, the metal housing portion includes a first housing portion 114 partially located in the receiving cavity. The housing 100 also includes a circuit board 20 disposed within the lower housing 11. The functional component includes a metal pin 103, one end of which is electrically connected to the circuit board 20, and the other end of which passes through the functional area of ​​the first housing portion 114 and protrudes within the receiving cavity.

[0035] Thus, by isolating the metal pin 103 and the lower housing 11 through the insulating part 2, the metal housing part of the lower housing 11 and the metal pin 103 can be prevented from contacting each other, thereby avoiding short circuit of the metal pin 103.

[0036] In some embodiments, the functional components assembled in the functional area 112 include an antenna assembly 3 and a first microphone 4. The antenna assembly 3 is disposed in the first through hole 111 and has a first sound receiving hole 31. The first microphone 4 is disposed in the lower housing 11 and close to the first through hole 111, and communicates with the first sound receiving hole 31.

[0037] Therefore, the functional components assembled in the functional area 112 include the antenna assembly 3. Since the antenna assembly 3 is exposed and isolated from the metal housing by the insulating part 2, it not only avoids the metal housing and other internal electronic components from affecting the signal transmission of the antenna assembly 3, but also enhances the signal strength transmitted by the antenna assembly 3, thereby improving the stability of its signal transmission. This allows the antenna assembly 3 to better perform its own performance. Furthermore, when multiple functional components are assembled in the functional area 112 of the first through hole 111, the number of through holes can be reduced compared to the technique of setting multiple functional components in multiple through holes, further improving the aesthetic appearance and also improving the structural strength of the housing 1 of the box 100.

[0038] Furthermore, this application places the first microphone hole 31 and the antenna assembly 3 on the same side. This design exposes the first microphone hole 31 when the user holds the box 100, so that when the first microphone 4 collects the first audio signal through the first microphone hole 31, the user's hand does not cover the antenna assembly 3, thereby enhancing the signal strength transmitted by the antenna assembly 3 and improving its signal transmission stability. During the transmission of the first audio signal, the stronger signal strength greatly reduces the number of stutters, thus improving the smoothness of the signal transmission of the antenna assembly 3 and allowing the antenna assembly 3 to better perform its own functions.

[0039] Furthermore, when the user holds the box 100, the user's mouth is close to and directly facing the first sound-receiving hole 31 to output the voice signal. Therefore, the signal-to-noise ratio of the first audio signal, which includes the voice signal and ambient noise, collected by the first microphone 4 through the first sound-receiving hole 31 is high. Thus, the box 100 can collect the user's voice signal with high quality in noisy environments, improving the user's user experience.

[0040] In some embodiments, the first sound-receiving hole 31 is provided with a waterproof and breathable membrane and a dustproof mesh as filters 105 to prevent moisture and dust from entering the housing 1, thereby avoiding affecting the operation of the housing 100.

[0041] In some embodiments, the housing 100 includes a charging interface 5 disposed inside the lower housing 11 and electrically connected to the circuit board 20. The charging interface 5 is used to connect to an external power source to charge the housing 100. The antenna assembly 3 also includes a clearance portion 32 through which the charging interface 5 passes. Specifically, the charging interface 5 passes through the clearance portion 32 from inside the lower housing 11 but is not exposed; instead, it is located within the clearance portion 32.

[0042] In some embodiments, the interior of the avoidance part 32 avoids the charging interface 5, specifically by hollowing out the interior to isolate it from the charging interface 5.

[0043] In some embodiments, the housing 100 further includes a display component 6 disposed on the housing 1 and electrically connected to the circuit board 20. The circuit board 20 controls the display component 6 to display different state effects based on at least different operating states of the first microphone 4, so as to indicate at least the operating state of the first microphone 4 through the state effects.

[0044] Therefore, the display component 6 can visually prompt the user about the working status of the first microphone 4 through its own displayed status effect, making it easier for the user to understand the working status of the first microphone 4.

[0045] In some embodiments, the display component 6 may be an LED light or other element that displays lighting effects. Taking an LED light as an example, the LED light can display different lighting effects based on the working state of the first microphone 4. For example, when the first microphone 4 is not working, the LED light does not display any lighting effects or displays a first color light; when the first microphone 4 is working, the LED light displays a second color light. The first and second color lights can be red, green, orange, or other colors, and are not limited here. For example, when the housing 100 records audio through the first microphone 4, the LED light displays yellow light; when the housing 100 makes a call through the first microphone 4, the LED light displays green light.

[0046] In some embodiments, the display component 6 may be a display screen, which may display different information based on the working state of the first microphone 4. For example, when the first microphone 4 is not working, the display screen does not display any information or displays text information indicating that the first microphone 4 is working. When the first microphone 4 enters the working state, the display screen displays information such as "collecting", "recording", and "calling". In addition, the display screen may also display information such as recording duration and call duration.

[0047] In some embodiments, the antenna assembly 3 is further provided with a display clearance hole 33, and the display assembly 6 is mounted in the display clearance hole 33.

[0048] In some embodiments, the housing 100 further includes a battery 7 and a wireless charging unit 8. The battery 7 is disposed within the lower housing 11 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 20 to power the circuit board 20. The wireless charging unit 8 is electrically connected to the battery 7 and wirelessly charges the battery 7 by contacting an external power source. The wireless charging unit 8 is also fixedly connected to the battery 7 via the adhesive 102.

[0049] In some embodiments, the housing 100 further includes a battery base 104, which is installed within the lower housing 11, and the battery 7 is disposed within a slot in the battery base 104. The battery base 104 may be made of a soft material to protect the battery 7.

[0050] In some embodiments, the housing 100 further includes a sound-generating device disposed inside the lower housing 11 and electrically connected to the circuit board 20. The side of the lower housing 11 is provided with a sound outlet, which communicates with the sound-generating device. The sound-generating device is used to output audio signals to the outside of the housing 100 through the sound outlet.

[0051] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the antenna assembly 3 extends toward a direction away from the first sound hole 31 to be electrically connected to the circuit board 20.

[0052] Therefore, when the radiating body of the antenna assembly 3 installed at the first through hole 111 cannot move freely, it can extend in a direction away from the first sound receiving hole 31 to be electrically connected to the circuit board 20, thus facilitating the electrical connection between the antenna assembly 3 and the circuit board 20.

[0053] The antenna assembly 3 is entirely made of metal and is a radiator. The antenna assembly 3 is electrically connected to the circuit board 20, and the housing 100 transmits signals through the antenna assembly 3.

[0054] In some embodiments, the antenna assembly 3 includes a base 106 and a radiator. The base 106 is disposed at the first through hole 111, and the radiator is disposed on the base 106 and electrically connected to the circuit board 20. The first microphone hole 31 is disposed on the base 106, and the first microphone 4 is disposed on the side of the base 106 near the circuit board 20.

[0055] In some embodiments, the housing 100 further includes a transparent ear rest 9, which is installed in the functional area 112 of the second through hole 113. The ear rest is provided with a storage groove 91 for storing a second electronic device adapted to the housing 100.

[0056] Therefore, the second electronic device can be placed in the storage slot 91 without occupying other space, thereby saving the total space occupied by the box 100 and the second electronic device, making it convenient for users to carry the box 100 and the second electronic device together.

[0057] The lower housing 11 has at least a metal shell on the upper surface of the receiving cavity, which can minimize the risk of scratches on the upper surface caused by the user's fingernails when picking up the second electronic device, thus better protecting the housing 100.

[0058] In some embodiments, the ear rest has a boss on its edge, and the second through hole 113 has a step at the position corresponding to the boss. The ear rest and the second through hole are installed by matching the boss and the step.

[0059] Thus, the boss matches the step portion to prevent dust from entering the lower housing 11 and better protect the box 100.

[0060] In some embodiments, the housing 100 further includes a magnetic member 10 disposed within the transparent ear cup 9. The magnetic member 10 is used to generate a magnetic attraction with the second electronic device to attract the second electronic device into the transparent ear cup 9.

[0061] Therefore, by using the magnetic attachment 10 to attach the second electronic device and store it inside the electronic device, the second electronic device can be stored in a fixed position more efficiently without the need for multiple manual adjustments.

[0062] In some embodiments, when the magnetic attachment 10 attracts the second electronic device, the second electronic device will have an impact movement. By setting the transparent ear pad 9 to be made of materials such as plastic, the impact movement of the second electronic device can be prevented from damaging the second electronic device.

[0063] In some embodiments, the housing 100 further includes a circuit board 20 disposed within the lower housing 11. The circuit board 20 includes a grounding layer, and the metal housing portion is electrically connected to the grounding layer.

[0064] Thus, the metal casing is electrically connected to the grounding layer of the circuit board 20, preventing the user from being electrocuted by the metal casing. Furthermore, when the box 100 is in operation, the static electricity received and accumulated by the metal casing can be discharged through the grounding layer, thereby reducing the static electricity accumulation and lightning strike risk of the box 100 and protecting the electronic components such as the circuit board 20 inside the box 100.

[0065] In some embodiments, the metal housing portion is electrically connected to the grounding layer via a connector 40 (e.g., screw, bolt, etc.).

[0066] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the housing 100 provided in the second embodiment of this application. In some embodiments, the housing 100 further includes a metal shaft 30 connecting the upper housing 12 and the lower housing 11. The portion of the lower housing 11 corresponding to the metal shaft 30 is a part of the metal housing portion. The insulating portion 2 is also disposed on the lower housing 11. One end of the metal shaft 30 is connected to the insulating portion 2. The metal shaft 30 is fixedly connected to the metal housing portion through the insulating portion 2, so that the metal shaft 30 and the metal housing portion are electrically isolated through the insulating portion 2.

[0067] Thus, by isolating the metal shaft and the metal housing part through the insulating part 2, contact between the metal housing part and the metal shaft 30 can be prevented, thereby preventing the metal housing part from conducting static electricity to the metal shaft 30. This also avoids electric shock to the user when using the electronic device due to contact with the metal shaft 30, improving the safety of the electronic device. Moreover, since the metal housing part and the metal shaft 30 are isolated, regardless of whether the metal housing part and the metal shaft 30 are made of the same metal, there will be no electrolytic corrosion caused by static electricity. This improves the smoothness of the rotation of the upper housing 12 and the lower housing 11, and prevents jamming due to corrosion of the metal shaft 30. It also fundamentally reduces the wear rate of the lower housing 11 and the metal shaft 30, further reducing the maintenance cost of the housing 100 and increasing the service life of the housing 100.

[0068] Specifically, the metal housing is electrically connected to the grounding part of the circuit board 20, forming a path with very low impedance. When external static electricity enters the metal housing, it is conducted to the grounding part through this path, and the static electricity is safely released. When the user touches the metal housing, they will not be electrostatically shocked, and no electric shock will occur. However, the metal shaft 30 is not grounded, so a path with low impedance including the metal shaft 30 is not formed. Therefore, when the metal housing comes into contact with the metal shaft 30 and conducts its own static electricity to the metal shaft 30, the metal shaft 30, having no path to release static electricity, can only accumulate the static charge on itself. The potential of the metal shaft 30 will also increase accordingly. When the user touches the metal shaft 30, they will be electrostatically shocked, resulting in an electric shock.

[0069] In this application, the metal shaft 30 and the metal housing are isolated by the insulating part 2, thereby preventing the metal housing from contacting the metal shaft 30. This also prevents the metal housing from conducting the static electricity it receives and accumulates to the metal shaft 30, thus avoiding the accumulation of static charge on the metal shaft 30. When using the box 100, the user will not experience electric shock due to contact with the metal shaft 30, improving the safety of using the box 100 and enhancing the user experience.

[0070] More specifically, when two different metals (such as aluminum and stainless steel) come into direct contact, if there is a substance that can act as an electrolyte, such as humid air, the two metals will form a galvanic cell 7. The two metals will become the cathode or anode of the galvanic cell 7. Due to the potential difference, electrons will spontaneously flow from the more active metal to the less active metal, and the more active metal will undergo an oxidation reaction and be corroded. Therefore, without the insulation part 2, corrosion is very likely to occur when the metal shaft 30 and the metal housing part, which are made of different metal materials, come into contact. However, in this application, the metal shaft 30 and the metal housing part are isolated by the insulation part 2. Therefore, regardless of whether the metal housing part and the metal shaft 30 are made of the same metal, corrosion will not occur. This fundamentally reduces the wear rate of the metal housing part and the metal shaft 30, further reduces the maintenance cost of the box 100, and increases the service life of the box 100.

[0071] In some embodiments, the insulating part 2 is made of insulating materials such as plastic, rubber, or silicone.

[0072] In some embodiments, the lower housing 11 has a receiving cavity 116, the insulating part 2 is installed in the receiving cavity 116 to fix the metal housing part, one end of the metal rotating shaft 30 is connected to the insulating part 2 to connect with the metal housing part through the insulating part 2, and the other end of the metal rotating shaft 30 is fixed to the upper housing 12.

[0073] Therefore, the insulating part 2 is installed in the receiving cavity 116, which can reduce the volume of the box 100 and prevent the box 100 from increasing in volume due to the presence of the insulating part 2, making it easier for the user to carry the box 100; and the insulating part 2 is fixedly connected to the metal shell part, which can improve the connection stability between the insulating part 2 and the metal shell part, prevent the insulating part 2 from falling off and losing its isolation function, and thus strengthen the isolation between the metal shell part and the metal rotating shaft 30.

[0074] In some embodiments, the insulating part 2 is provided with a first mounting hole 21, one end of the metal shaft 30 is provided with a second mounting hole 301, and the housing 100 further includes a connector 40, which passes through the first mounting hole 21 and the second mounting hole 301 and is fixed to the first mounting hole 21 and the second mounting hole 301, so that one end of the metal shaft 30 is connected to the insulating part 2.

[0075] In some embodiments, the connector 40 may be a screw, bolt, or other similar component.

[0076] Specifically, when the connector 40 is made of metal and the first mounting hole 21 is a through hole, the height of the first mounting hole 21 and / or the connector 40 is limited to prevent the connector 40 from contacting the metal housing portion after passing through the first mounting hole 21, thereby preventing the metal housing portion from connecting to the metal shaft 30 through the connector 40. When the connector 40 is made of metal and the first mounting hole 21 is a blind hole, the connector 40 will not contact the metal housing portion, thereby also preventing the metal housing portion from connecting to the metal shaft 30 through the connector 40.

[0077] The metal shaft 30 can be made of metal materials such as carbon steel, alloy steel, brass, aluminum alloy, and stainless steel, and the metal housing can be made of metal materials such as aluminum alloy, stainless steel, and magnesium alloy.

[0078] In some embodiments, the box body 100 further includes a metal support 50, which is fixedly disposed on the upper housing 12. The metal support 50 has an insertion portion, and the lower housing 11 has a groove 115. When the upper housing 12 is positioned to cover the lower housing 11, the insertion portion of the metal support 50 is inserted into the groove 115. The portion of the lower housing 11 surrounding the groove 115 is part of the metal housing portion, and the metal support 50 and the metal housing portion are made of the same metal material.

[0079] Therefore, when the metal support 50 and the metal housing part come into contact, since the metal support 50 and the metal housing part are made of the same metal material, corrosion will not occur when the metal support 50 and the metal housing part come into contact, thereby fundamentally reducing the wear rate of the lower housing 11 and the metal support 50, further reducing the maintenance cost of the box 100 and increasing the service life of the box 100.

[0080] The metal support 50 is provided with a magnetic suction element 10, and the lower housing 11 is also provided with a magnetic suction element 10. The metal support 50 is inserted into the groove 115 by the magnetic attraction between the magnetic suction elements 10. Before the metal support 50 is inserted into the groove 115, the user can directly release his hand, and the metal support 50 will be aligned and inserted into the groove 115 by the magnetic attraction.

[0081] In some embodiments, the metal bracket 50 does not contact the lower housing 11 after being inserted into the groove 115, but remains suspended, thus avoiding the reception of static electricity. Furthermore, since the upper housing 12 is made of the plastic material, even if the metal bracket 50 receives static electricity conducted from the lower housing 11, it will not be conducted to the upper housing 12. And because the metal bracket 50 does not protrude from the side of the upper housing 12, users are less likely to touch it.

[0082] In other embodiments, an insulating part 2 may be provided in the groove 115 of the lower housing 11, and the metal bracket 50 is inserted into the groove 115, which is actually inserted into the insulating part 2, so that static electricity will not accumulate.

[0083] In some embodiments, the insulating part 2 is a plastic formed by nano-injection molding, wherein the insulating part 2 and the lower housing 11 are fixed to form an integral structure.

[0084] Therefore, by using the plastic formed by nano-injection molding as the insulating part 2, the insulating part 2 and the lower housing 11 are fixed to form an integral structure, which can improve the connection stability of the insulating part 2 and the lower housing 11, prevent the insulating part 2 from falling off and losing its isolation function, and thus strengthen the isolation between the lower housing 11 and the metal shaft 30.

[0085] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the bottom surface 13 of the housing 100 provided in the third embodiment of this application. In some embodiments, the functional component further includes a second microphone 60, and the lower housing 11 further includes a bottom surface 13, the bottom surface 13 being provided with a second sound receiving hole 131, the second microphone 60 being disposed inside the lower housing 11 and communicating with the second sound receiving hole 131, and the second microphone 60 being disposed in a region inside the lower housing 11 away from the first microphone 4.

[0086] Therefore, when the user inputs the first audio signal into the first microphone hole 31, the second microphone 60 will also collect the second audio signal. By setting the two microphones at an interval and collecting audio signals simultaneously, the noise reduction effect of the collected audio signals can be improved, so as to obtain a clearer and higher quality target voice signal, thereby improving the user experience of using the box 100 for calls and recording.

[0087] When the user inputs the voice signal, the ambient noise is also collected by the first microphone 4 along with the voice signal. Therefore, the first microphone 4 and the second microphone 60 collect a first audio signal and a second audio signal that include both ambient noise and the voice signal.

[0088] Specifically, the first microphone 4 collects the first audio signal, which includes ambient noise and the user's output voice signal. The second microphone 60 collects the second audio signal, which also includes ambient noise and the user's output voice signal. Since the user's mouth is directly facing the first microphone hole 31 and is some distance from the second microphone hole 131, the voice signal in the second audio signal collected by the second microphone 60 through the second microphone hole 131 will have a certain delay relative to the voice signal in the first audio signal. However, the noise collected by the first microphone 4 and the second microphone 60 comes from all directions and therefore has no time delay. The ENC algorithm can then be used to calculate the time difference between the voice signal in the first audio signal and the voice signal in the second audio signal, and to align the voice signal in the second audio signal with the voice signal in the first audio signal in the time domain to achieve time synchronization. Furthermore, since the ambient noise in the second audio signal and the ambient noise in the first audio signal are asynchronous at this time, adding them together can eliminate some noise, thus achieving noise reduction of the audio signal. After the two audio signals are synchronously added, an enhanced target voice signal including the user's input voice signal is obtained.

[0089] Since environmental noise originates from all directions, the environmental noise collected by the first microphone 4 and the second microphone 60 is basically the same. However, since the user is speaking directly into the first sound hole 31, the voice signal is emitted from a specific direction. Therefore, the voice signals collected by the first microphone 4 and the second microphone 60 are different in timing. Thus, the ENC noise reduction mechanism can be used to reduce the noise of the collected audio signal to obtain the target voice signal.

[0090] As mentioned above, the ENC noise reduction mechanism of the first microphone 4 and the second microphone 60 needs to make the distance between the first microphone 4 and the second microphone 60 as far as possible so that the speech signal in the first audio signal and the second audio signal has a time delay due to the distance.

[0091] In some embodiments, the functional component further includes a button 70, the upper housing 12 further includes a top surface 14 facing away from the lower housing 11, the lower housing 11 further includes a first side surface 15 and a second side surface 16 adjacent to the first side surface 15, the antenna assembly 3 is disposed on the first side surface 15, the button 70 is disposed on the second side surface 16, or the button 70 is disposed on the top surface 14.

[0092] Therefore, the user can hold the housing 100 and directly press the button 70 to trigger the operation and control the first microphone 4 to collect the first audio signal, which improves the convenience of the user in collecting audio signals using the housing 100. Furthermore, the button 70 and the first microphone hole 31 are located on different surfaces of the housing 1, so the user can press the button 70 without blocking the first microphone hole 31, allowing the user to input voice signals directly into the first microphone hole 31 and enabling the antenna assembly 3 to better perform its function.

[0093] Specifically, when a user holds the box 100, the palm can only touch the surfaces other than the first side 15, thus exposing the first side 15, the first sound hole 31, and the antenna assembly 3. As a result, the user's hand will not cover the antenna assembly 3, allowing the antenna assembly 3 to better perform its function.

[0094] In some embodiments, the button 70 responds to a trigger operation to control the first microphone 4 to receive a first audio signal input from the outside of the housing 100, and to control the second microphone 60 to receive a second audio signal input from the outside of the housing 100.

[0095] In some embodiments, the second electronic device is provided with at least one third microphone, and the button 70 is also used to control whether the first microphone 4 and the third microphone collect corresponding audio signals in response to a trigger operation, or the circuit board 20 controls whether the first microphone 4 and the third microphone collect corresponding audio signals based on the magnitude of the detected ambient noise.

[0096] Specifically, when the third microphone acquires the third audio signal, the button 70 responds to the trigger operation to control the first microphone 4 to acquire the first audio signal, and the third microphone stops working; or, while the button 70 responds to the trigger operation to control the first microphone 4 to acquire the first audio signal, the third microphone continues to acquire the third audio signal. When the ambient noise in the user's environment is too loud, the circuit board 20 controls the first microphone 4 to acquire the first audio signal, causing the third microphone to stop working. When the ambient noise in the user's environment is within an acceptable range, the circuit board 20 controls the third microphone to acquire the third audio signal, causing the first microphone 4 to stop working.

[0097] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the button 70 protrudes from the second side 16. The weight of the housing 100 is greater than the pressing force required for the button 70 to respond to the pressing operation. When the housing 100 is placed on a flat surface (e.g., a desktop), the button 70 can directly contact the flat surface. Since the weight of the housing 100 is greater than the pressing force required for the button 70 to respond to the pressing operation, this contact can trigger the button 70 to control the first microphone 4 to collect the first audio signal. This operation allows the user to continuously control the first microphone 4 without pressing the button 70, but simply by pressing the button 70 against the flat surface. This frees up one hand to perform other tasks, improving work efficiency.

[0098] In some embodiments, the weight of the housing 100 may be less than the pressing force required for the button 70 to respond to the pressing operation, so as to avoid accidental activation of the button 70 when the housing 100 is placed on the plane.

[0099] Taking an example where the first microphone hole 31 and the antenna assembly 3 are located on the first side surface 15, the button 70 is located on the second side surface 16, and the second microphone hole 131 is located on the bottom surface 13. In some embodiments, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the bottom surface 13 includes four endpoints. Two endpoints that are far from the first sound-receiving hole 31 are taken and connected to the point on the bottom surface 13 that is directly opposite the first sound-receiving hole 31 to form a fan-shaped range. The second sound-receiving hole 131 and the second microphone 60 are located within this fan-shaped range. This arrangement ensures that when the user holds the box 100 and speaks directly into the first sound-receiving hole 31 to output a voice signal, the second sound-receiving hole 131 is located in the direction of voice signal propagation, allowing the second microphone 60 to collect the second audio signal through the second sound-receiving hole 131.

[0100] In other embodiments, the midpoint of the edge of the bottom surface 13 away from the first sound-receiving hole 31 is selected, and a line is drawn between this midpoint and a point on the bottom surface 13 directly opposite the first sound-receiving hole 31. The second sound-receiving hole 131 is located on the surface corresponding to this line. This arrangement ensures that when the user holds the box 100 and speaks directly into the first sound-receiving hole 31 to output a voice signal, the second sound-receiving hole 131 is exactly in the direction of voice signal propagation, allowing the second microphone 60 to collect the second audio signal through the second sound-receiving hole 131.

[0101] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 6 for Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the first microphone 4 in the housing 100 collecting the first audio signal. (See diagram below.) Figure 6 As shown, the user holds the box 100, with one finger touching part of the bottom surface 13 and the side surface of the box 100, and other fingers touching part of the bottom surface 13 and the side surface, and the palm covering the top surface 14 of the box 100. However, the user's hand does not cover the second sound-receiving hole 131 (not shown in the figure, but can be regarded as being set at the corresponding position of the second microphone 60), and thus will not hinder the first microphone 4 (not shown in the figure, but can be regarded as being set at the top position of the fan-shaped area corresponding to A2) and the second microphone 60 from collecting the first audio signal and the second audio signal. A1 is the second pickup angle of the first microphone 4, and A2 is the first pickup angle of the second microphone 60. The angle between the first pickup angle A2 of the second microphone 60 and the second pickup angle A1 of the first microphone 4 can be greater than or equal to 30°. For example, when the first pickup angle A2 is 60° and the second pickup angle A1 is also 60°, since the first microphone 4 is closer to the mouth 100° than the second microphone 60, that is, the first microphone 4 is closer to the sound source, the second microphone 60 can receive a wider range of audio signals than the first microphone 4. Therefore, the second microphone 60 will also collect more cluttered audio signals than the first microphone 4. Thus, the angle of the first pickup angle A2 needs to be set smaller than the angle of the second pickup angle A1. For example, if the second pickup angle A1 is 60°, then the angle of the first pickup angle A2 can be 30°, 45°, or other angles less than 60° to more accurately collect the speech signal. However, the angle of the first pickup angle A2 should not be set too small, otherwise the range (fan-shaped area) for the second microphone 60 to collect the speech signal will be too narrow, and the speech signal will not be collected.

[0102] However, in order to enable the second microphone 60 to pick up sound from multiple angles, the angle of the first pickup angle of the second microphone 60 can be greater than or equal to 30°. The angle of the first pickup angle can be 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°, 120°, 150°, 180°, 210°, 240°, 270°, 300°, 330°, 360°, etc. The angle of the first pickup angle is not limited to the aforementioned angles and can be any angle greater than 30°. However, at this time, it is necessary to limit the position of the fan-shaped area formed by the first pickup angle, and the fan-shaped area formed by the first pickup angle and the fan-shaped area formed by the second pickup angle should largely overlap.

[0103] In some embodiments, the minimum distance between the second microphone hole 131 and the edge of the bottom surface 13 is greater than or equal to 2mm, which can prevent the user from covering the second microphone hole 131 with their fingers when holding the box 100, thereby avoiding affecting the second microphone 60 in collecting the second audio signal.

[0104] Specifically, when a user holds the housing 100, the user's palm is mainly located on the top surface 14, and the other fingers are mainly located on the side of the housing 1 where the first microphone hole 31 and the antenna assembly 3 are not located. The user's fingers will partially contact the bottom surface 13. Therefore, when the minimum distance between the second microphone hole 131 and the edge of the bottom surface 13 is greater than or equal to 2mm, the fingers in contact with the bottom surface 13 will not block the second microphone hole 131. Thus, the second microphone 60 can normally collect the second audio signal.

[0105] Furthermore, since the surface of a human hand is soft, it will deform when the box 100 is gripped. For example, when a human hand touches the side, the tissue of the human hand will deform and may extend to the bottom surface 13 or the top surface 14. Therefore, if the first sound receiving hole 31 and the second sound receiving hole 131 are too close to the edge, they are easily covered by the tissue of the human hand. Therefore, the minimum distance between the second sound receiving hole 131 and the first sound receiving hole 31 and the edge can be set to be greater than or equal to 2mm.

[0106] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 7 for Figure 1The image shows a front view of the housing 100. In some embodiments, the bottom surface 13 includes a first bottom surface 132 and a support surface 134 formed by a protrusion 133 connected to the first bottom surface 132. When the housing 100 is placed on a plane, the support surface 134 abuts against the plane. The second microphone hole 131 is located in the area of ​​the bottom surface 13 that is not on the support surface 134. The presence of the protrusion 133 and the support surface 134 ensures that when the housing 100 is placed on a plane, the second microphone hole 131 does not contact the plane, thus avoiding the situation where the second microphone hole 131 is blocked and unable to collect the second audio signal. Furthermore, the protrusion 133 can surround a portion of the second microphone hole 131 to reduce the impact of wind noise on the second audio signal collected by the second microphone 60, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the second audio signal collected by the second microphone 60.

[0107] Furthermore, the user can output voice signals without removing the housing 100. The housing 100 can be placed on the plane with the supporting surface 134 abutting against the plane. When outputting voice signals to the first microphone 31, since the second microphone 131 is located in the area of ​​the bottom surface 13 that is not supported by the supporting surface 134, the second microphone 131 is not blocked by the plane. The second audio signal can enter through the gap between the second microphone 131 and the plane and be collected by the second microphone 60, thus avoiding the situation where the second microphone 131 is blocked and the second audio signal cannot be collected.

[0108] In some embodiments, the bottom surface 13 further includes a transparent surface 136 formed by the transparent element 135 protruding from the first bottom surface 132. The protrusion height between the transparent surface 136 and the first bottom surface 132 is less than the protrusion height between the support surface 134 and the first bottom surface 132, so that the protrusion 133 can support the housing 100 on a plane. The transparent surface 136 will not contact the plane, so there will be no wear when the housing 100 moves on the plane. The transparent element 135 can also surround part of the second sound hole 131 to reduce the influence of wind noise on the second audio signal collected by the second microphone 60.

[0109] The ear rest is the aforementioned transparent component 135. The ear rest is made of transparent material, so that when the second electronic device is stored in the housing 100, the user can see the second electronic device without opening the upper housing 12.

[0110] In some embodiments, the upper housing 12 is made of a transparent material, allowing the user to see the second electronic device through the upper housing 12.

[0111] In some embodiments, the side of the lower housing 11 adjacent to the side corresponding to the metal pivot 30 forms the first side surface 15, and the side of the lower housing 11 opposite to the side corresponding to the metal pivot 30 forms the second side surface 16. This can prevent the metal pivot 30 from interfering with the user's operation such as inputting voice signals into the first microphone hole 31 when it is in motion, and also prevent the metal pivot 30 from interfering with the antenna assembly 3's signal transmission and reception, thus providing convenience for the user to use the housing 100.

[0112] In some embodiments, the lower housing 11 includes a lower housing body 117 and a bottom shell 118, which are assembled to form the basic structure of the lower housing 11. The aforementioned side surface is the side surface of the lower housing body 117, and the aforementioned bottom surface 13 is the side of the bottom shell 118 away from the lower housing body 117.

[0113] In some embodiments, the housing 1 further includes a third side 17 opposite to the second side 16, and the second sound-receiving hole 131 is disposed on the bottom surface 13. When the user holds the housing 100, the button 70 contacts a finger and forms a first point of force, and the third side 17 contacts at least one other finger and forms at least one second point of force. The presence of the second point of force allows the user to grip the housing 100 tightly. Thus, the button 70 can be triggered while holding the housing 100, which facilitates the first microphone 4 to collect the first audio signal through the first sound-receiving hole 31 in a timely manner, avoiding missing important voice information and improving the timeliness and convenience of the housing 100 in collecting audio signals.

[0114] Furthermore, in the case of headphone cases with a basic rectangular shape, when a user's finger (thumb) is on the second side 16 to trigger the button 70, and another finger (index finger) is on the third side 17 to provide relative gripping force, the palm bends and creates an arc. The other fingers are generally on the same side as the index finger, so the first side 15 and bottom 13 where the first microphone 4 and the second microphone 60 are located are difficult to be blocked.

[0115] Please see Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the box 100 provided in the fourth embodiment of this application. Specifically, as shown... Figure 8As shown, the box body 100 is a square box body 100. The shell 1 of the box body 100 includes an upper shell 12 and a lower shell 11. The upper shell 12 is provided with a rotating groove 121. A rotating component 80 is installed in the rotating groove 121. The rotating groove 121 is provided with a notch 122. The notch 122 has a first end 123 and a second end 124, exposing the side of the rotating component 80 in the notch 122, so that the user can rotate the rotating component 80 from the exposed part. The first microphone hole 31 (not shown in the figure) can be set on the top surface 14. The first microphone 4 (not shown in the figure) is set in the upper shell 12 and communicates with the first microphone hole 31. The first microphone hole 31 can also be set on the rotating component 80. The first microphone 4 is set in the rotating component 80 and communicates with the first microphone hole 31. The first microphone 4 is connected to the circuit board 20 through the rotating component 80. The positions of the button 70 and the second microphone hole 131 are as described above.

[0116] Please see Figure 9 , Figure 9 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the box 100 provided in the fifth embodiment of this application. Figure 9 As shown, the box body 100 is also a square box body 100, but the upper shell 12 and lower shell 11 of the shell body 1 included in the box body 100 are provided with protruding edges 90 on the periphery of their openings. Due to the presence of the protruding edges 90, if the button 70 is set on the side of the shell 1, the protruding edges 90 will prevent the user from triggering the button 70 when holding the box body 100. In order to facilitate the user to trigger the button 70, the button 70 (not shown in the figure) can be set on the bottom surface 13 (not shown in the figure), the first sound hole 31 (not shown in the figure) is set on the side of the shell 1, and the second sound hole 131 (not shown in the figure) is set on the bottom surface 13 along with the button 70.

[0117] Please see Figure 10 , Figure 10 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the box 100 provided in the sixth embodiment of this application. Figure 10 As shown, two opposite sides of the housing 1 are curved surfaces, and the other two opposite sides of the housing 1 are rectangular surfaces. The side with the rectangular plane is longer than the other side. Therefore, the button 70 (not shown in the figure) can be placed on the longer side so that the user can press the button 70 when holding the housing 100. The first microphone hole 31 (not shown in the figure) can be placed on the shorter side, and the second microphone hole 131 (not shown in the figure) can be placed on the bottom surface 13.

[0118] Please see Figure 11 , Figure 11 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the box 100 provided in the seventh embodiment of this application. Figure 11 As shown, the housing 1 is a cylindrical structure, including a top surface 14, a bottom surface 13 (not shown in the figure), and a peripheral surface 18 connecting the top surface 14 and the bottom surface 13. The first microphone hole 31 (not shown in the figure) is disposed on the peripheral surface 18, and the button 70 (not shown in the figure) and the second microphone hole 131 (not shown in the figure) are disposed on the top surface 14 or the bottom surface 13; or, the first microphone hole 31 is disposed on the top surface 14 or the bottom surface 13, and the button 70 and the second microphone hole 131 are disposed on the peripheral surface 18.

[0119] In addition, the button 70 can also be disposed on the top surface 14 at the same time as the first microphone hole 31. In this case, the second microphone hole 131 is disposed on the peripheral side surface 18. When the user holds the box body 100, the user's thumb presses the button 70, while the other part of the hand contacts the peripheral side surface 18 and exposes the second microphone hole 131.

[0120] Please refer to 12. Figure 12 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the housing 100 provided in the eighth embodiment of this application. In some other embodiments, the housing 100 is a watch-like device, and the casing 1 is the watch head. Since the dial of the watch head needs to display information such as time, the first microphone 31 (not shown in the figure) is disposed on the top surface 14 around the dial, and the button 70 and the second microphone 131 (not shown in the figure) are both disposed on the side of the watch head.

[0121] Please see Figure 13 , Figure 13 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the box 100 provided in the ninth embodiment of this application. In other embodiments, the user does not need to hold the box 100 in their hand, but can magnetically attach / fix the box 100 to the non-screen area of ​​a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone. Taking a mobile phone as an example, the box 100 can be pasted or installed on the back of the phone via a snap-fit ​​structure. The side of the box 100 facing away from the phone is provided with a microphone and a button 70, so that the user can carry the phone and the box 100. Furthermore, when the mobile terminal is not needed, the user can detach the box 100 from the mobile terminal.

[0122] In some embodiments, the housing 100 may also be an action camera, the button 70 is located in the function button 70 area of ​​the action camera, the first microphone hole 31 is located on the side of the action camera housing 1 closest to the human body when the user is shooting, and the first microphone 4 is located inside the action camera housing 1 and communicates with the first microphone hole 31, so as to achieve the effect of recording without other equipment when the user shoots vlogs and other videos.

[0123] In other embodiments, as described above, the mobile terminal is an action camera. The housing 100 can be glued or attached via a snap-fit ​​structure to the side of the action camera's housing 1 closest to the user when shooting. The side of the housing 100 away from the action camera's housing 1 is equipped with a microphone and a button 70 for recording audio when shooting videos such as vlogs. Furthermore, when the action camera is not needed, the user can detach the housing 100 from the action camera.

[0124] In some embodiments, the housing 100 further includes a button 101 disposed on the lower housing 11, the button 101 being electrically connected to the circuit board 20, and the button 101 being used to control the pairing connection between the housing 100 and the second electronic device in response to a trigger operation.

[0125] The triggering operation can be either a long press or a single click.

[0126] In some embodiments, the housing 100 establishes a communication connection with the mobile terminal through at least a portion of the antenna assembly 3, and the circuit board 20 is further configured to transmit at least a portion of the first audio signal to the mobile terminal through the antenna assembly 3; or, the housing 100 establishes a communication connection with the second electronic device through the antenna assembly 3, and the circuit board 20 is further configured to transmit at least a portion of the first audio signal to the second electronic device through at least a portion of the antenna assembly 3, and the second electronic device transmits at least a portion of the received first audio signal to the mobile terminal; the mobile terminal performs processing operations on the received at least a portion of the first audio signal.

[0127] At least a portion of the antenna assembly 3 is a portion that can serve as a radiator.

[0128] Currently, when users make calls or record audio in noisy environments, the high ambient noise reduces the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the acquired audio signal, easily leading to poor recording quality and difficulty for the other party to hear the conversation. This is especially true in today's AI era, where AI has significantly improved audio signal processing capabilities (real-time conversion of speech signals into text, summarization of speech signals, translation of speech signals, etc.), increasing the demand for audio signal clarity and SNR. Furthermore, in many everyday scenarios, noise from environments such as high-speed trains, airports, subways, and crowds can affect the earphone's sound reception. Even with ENC algorithms for noise reduction, it's still difficult for the other party to hear the conversation clearly in extremely noisy environments.

[0129] Taking the earphone case 100 as an example, in this application, the user can speak close to the earphone case to output a voice signal. Compared with related technologies, this improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the acquired audio signal. Therefore, the earphone case can acquire the user's voice signal with high quality in noisy environments, so that the other party can clearly hear the content of the call and the recording. Furthermore, when the user is in a public place and the content of their speech is inconvenient for others to hear, but they cannot leave the public place (for example, when chatting about private information, they only want to speak quietly, but they cannot leave their workstation (e.g., the earphone is plugged into the computer)), they need to output a voice signal at a lower volume. At this time, they can output a voice signal at a lower volume by bringing the first microphone 4 close to the earphone case, thereby satisfying the user's desired privacy.

[0130] Specifically, both of the aforementioned signal transmission methods can be applied to recording and call scenarios. When a user uses the box 100 to record, at least a portion of the first audio signal collected by the box 100 is transmitted to the mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal stores the received audio signal as a recording file. When a user uses the box 100 to make a call, at least a portion of the first audio signal collected by the box 100 is transmitted to the mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal can transmit the received audio signal to realize the call.

[0131] Taking the case where the housing 100 only has a first microphone 4 as an example, the housing 100 can use the circuit board 20 to denoise the acquired first audio signal to obtain a target voice signal, and then transmit the target voice signal to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal stores the received target voice signal as an audio file or transmits the received target voice signal to achieve a call. Alternatively, the housing 100 can also transmit the acquired first audio signal to the second electronic device or the mobile terminal through the antenna assembly 3. The second electronic device or the mobile terminal can then denoise the received first audio signal to obtain a target voice signal, and the mobile terminal can store the target voice signal as an audio file or transmit the target voice signal to achieve a call. Therefore, depending on the processing device, it needs to be stated that at least a portion of the first audio signal is transmitted to the mobile terminal or the second electronic device through the antenna. The same applies to the housing 100 having a first microphone 4 and a second microphone 60, which will not be elaborated here.

[0132] In some embodiments, the mobile terminal includes an artificial intelligence application, and the housing 100 sends at least a portion of a first audio signal to the mobile terminal. The artificial intelligence application processes the at least portion of the first audio signal to convert it into second modal information.

[0133] The second modal information may be image information, voice information, text information, etc.

[0134] In some embodiments, the housing 100 sends at least a portion of a first audio signal and at least a portion of a second audio signal to the mobile terminal, and the artificial intelligence application processes the at least a portion of the first audio signal and at least a portion of the second audio signal to convert the at least a portion of the first audio signal and at least a portion of the second audio signal into second modal information.

[0135] This application also provides an electronic device, which includes a housing and an insulating part. The housing includes a lower housing and an upper housing. The lower housing includes a metal housing part. The metal housing part is provided with at least one first through hole. Each first through hole corresponds to a functional area. The insulating part is disposed around the functional area in the first through hole to insulate the metal housing part and the functional area. The functional area is used to assemble functional components. The functional components include at least two of the following: an antenna assembly, a display assembly, a charging interface, a sound-generating device, a microphone, a button, and a metal pin.

[0136] The lower housing of the electronic device in this application is at least partly metal, which improves the aesthetics and texture of the electronic device. Through holes are provided in the metal housing portion, and the functional area is insulated from the metal housing portion by the insulating portion. Therefore, when the functional components assembled in the functional area include an antenna assembly, not only can the interference of the metal housing portion and other internal electronic components with the signal transmission of the antenna assembly be avoided, but the signal strength transmitted by the antenna assembly can also be enhanced, thereby improving its signal transmission stability. This allows the antenna assembly to better perform its function. Furthermore, when multiple functional components are assembled in a functional area with one through hole, the number of through holes can be reduced compared to the technique of setting multiple functional components in multiple through holes, further improving the aesthetics and increasing the structural strength of the electronic device's housing.

[0137] In some embodiments, the electronic device is provided with a receiving cavity for accommodating a second electronic device, wherein the electronic device is an earphone case and the second electronic device is an earphone.

[0138] Therefore, the earphones can be placed inside the earphone case, making it convenient for users to carry both the earphone case and the earphones together.

[0139] As mentioned above, when the housing 100 is an earphone case and the second electronic device is an earphone, when the earphone is stored in the storage slot 91, the electrical connector of the earphone stem will connect with the metal pin 103, and the earphone case will charge the earphone through the metal pin 103.
