[0023] In the above structure, the left bin body 1 and the right bin body 2 are independent bin bodies, and are used to load the left earphone 10 and the right earphone 20 respectively. The left bin body 1 and the right bin body 2 are spliced ​​and matched through the first fitting surface 11 and the second fitting surface 21, and then based on the mutual magnetic attraction relationship between the first magnetic suction part 13 and the second magnetic suction part 23, the first electrical contact component 12 and the second electrical contact component 22 are electrically contacted to transmit electrical energy. When the left bin body 1 and the right bin body 2 are spliced, they can be used as an independent earphone bin. When the left bin body 1 and the right bin body 2 are separated, each can be used as an earphone bin, so they can be used independently, carried and shared, thereby realizing complete separation and sharing, and better meeting application requirements.

[0024] To achieve accurate alignment of the first fitting surface 11 and the second fitting surface 21 , in this embodiment, a positioning groove 14 is provided on the first fitting surface 11 , and a positioning protrusion 24 is provided on the second fitting surface 21 , and the positioning protrusion 24 is aligned with the positioning groove 14 .

[0025] Accordingly, the first magnetic member 13 is aligned with the positioning groove 14, and the second magnetic member 23 is aligned with the positioning protrusion 24. In the above structure, based on the structural relationship of the first magnetic member 13 and the positioning groove 14 and the second magnetic member 23 and the positioning protrusion 24, the first magnetic member 13 and the second magnetic member 23 are aligned with each other and maintain a good attraction relationship.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment, the first electrical contact component 12 is a probe component, and the second electrical contact component 22 is a contact component.

[0027] In this embodiment, the left housing 1 is provided with a first accommodating cavity 15, and the left earphone 10 is disposed in the first accommodating cavity 15. The right housing 2 is provided with a second accommodating cavity 25, and the right earphone 20 is disposed in the second accommodating cavity 25. The first accommodating cavity 15 and the second accommodating cavity 25 may be open accommodating cavities.

[0028] In order to achieve independent charging of the left warehouse body 1 and the right warehouse body 2 to meet the needs of independent use, in this embodiment, the left warehouse body 1 includes a first charging port 16 and the right warehouse body 2 includes a second charging port 26.

[0029] On this basis, the present invention also proposes a sharing method for a shared wireless headset, as shown in FIG1 to FIG4 , the method includes the following working states:

[0030] In the dormant state, the left earphone 10 is placed in the left compartment 1, and the right earphone 20 is placed in the right compartment 2. The left earphone 10 and the right earphone 20 are respectively charged or on standby; at this time, both the left and right earphones stop working.

[0031] In the joint working state, the left earphone 10 and the right earphone 20 are judged as being in team mode after being taken out of the compartment. If it is confirmed that the left earphone 10 and the right earphone 20 are in team mode, the left earphone 10 and the right earphone 20 are connected to a single terminal device through Bluetooth. After the connection is successful, the joint working state begins. In actual application, when the earphones are taken out of the compartment, the team status is judged first. After confirming that the team status of the earphones is normal, the connection to the Bluetooth terminal device is started. If it is the first connection, it is necessary to manually select and confirm from the Bluetooth list of the terminal device. After the connection is successful, the Bluetooth device will be used to perform related work, such as listening to music, making calls, etc. When the earphones are put back into the charging compartment, the earphones start charging and then enter a dormant state.

[0032] In the independent working state of the two earphones, when the left earphone 10 and the right earphone 20 are out of the warehouse or when the left warehouse body 1 and the right warehouse body 2 are separated, a team status judgment is performed. If it is confirmed that the left earphone 10 and the right earphone 20 are in independent working mode, the left earphone 10 and the right earphone 20 are respectively connected to the two terminal devices by Bluetooth, and after the connection is successful, they start to work independently respectively; specifically, when the earphones are out of the warehouse, a team status judgment is performed, and when it is confirmed that the earphones are in independent working mode (the earphone teaming can be released manually through the APP or the earphone end), they will start to connect to the Bluetooth terminal devices respectively. If it is the first connection, you need to manually select and confirm from the Bluetooth list of the terminal device. After the connection is successful, it will cooperate with the Bluetooth device to perform related work: such as listening to music, making calls, etc.; in addition, in actual application, when the left and right warehouses are separated (that is, the left and right earphones are still in their respective charging warehouses), this state will be automatically recognized to enable the left and right earphones to automatically enter independent working mode.

[0033] In the intercom working state, by operating the preset open intercom buttons on the left earphone 10 and the right earphone 20 or the left warehouse body 1 and the right warehouse body 2, communication is established between the left earphone 10 and the right earphone 20 and the intercom state is entered; in actual application, the intercom state can be entered by operating the earphone or the open intercom button set on the warehouse body (at least 2 earphones are turned on the intercom state). If it is a multi-party intercom, the joining party needs to turn on the earphone intercom function in the same way; for example, the same two earphones in the open intercom state can be operated at the same time (such as long pressing the "open intercom" button for 5S) to establish a group intercom. If new members need to be added, the new member only needs to operate at the same time with any member in the group (group creation operation instruction) and the new member can be added to the group and participate in the intercom call. If you need to exit the intercom working state, you only need to operate the "open intercom" button once (such as double-clicking) to switch between Bluetooth and intercom modes.

[0034] Specifically in this embodiment, in the joint working state and the dual-earphone independent working state, when the left earphone 10 and the right earphone 20 are connected to the terminal device for the first time, they are manually selected from the Bluetooth list of the terminal device and the connection is established.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment, a headphone team selection button is provided on the left compartment body 1 and / or the right compartment body 2. By pressing the headphone team selection button, the left headphone 10 and the right headphone 20 enter the joint working state or the dual-headphone independent working state.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the left compartment body 1 and the right compartment body 2 are assembled and matched, the high-potential compartment body can be used to charge the low-potential compartment body, and at the same time, the left compartment body 1 and the right compartment body 2 respectively charge the left earphone 10 and the right earphone 20 until the voltages of the two compartment bodies are balanced. The left earphone 10 and the right earphone 20 enter a dormant state after being fully charged. Specifically, when the earphones are put back into the charging compartment, the charging compartment will first detect whether there is another charging compartment connected. The circuit performs voltage detection through the terminals connected to each other of the two charging compartments. If there is a voltage signal, it is determined that another charging compartment is connected, and the high-potential compartment will charge the low-potential compartment and the earphones at the same time until the voltages of the two compartments are balanced. The earphones will enter a dormant state after being charged.

[0037] The present invention discloses a sharing type wireless headset with a detachable charging bin and a sharing method. When the left and right bins are combined, the left and right earphones are paired and connected to a mobile phone just like ordinary wireless earphones. When charging, it is only necessary to connect the charging cable to one of the charging terminals. Specifically, the left and right earphone bins are positioned by setting bosses and grooves on the bottom parts of the two bins. At the same time, magnets are set at the bottom of the bosses and grooves, so that the two bins can achieve stable attraction. In addition, electrical connection terminals and contact spring pins are set below the positioning bosses and grooves, which are respectively connected to the input positions of the charging circuit. This design enables one charging terminal to charge two earphones. When the left and right bins are shared, the two earphones are separated from the fitting surface. After the earphones are taken out of the bin, a simple touch operation is performed to complete the pairing and unbinding of the left and right earphones (function configuration is performed on the software side). At this time, the two earphones can be used independently. When the earphones are low on power, they are placed in the corresponding bin to replenish the power. In actual application, both bins are equipped with independent charging circuits and rechargeable batteries.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements or improvements made within the technical scope of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
