Description

Earphone Case Components and Earphone System

[0001] This disclosure claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202421430063.6, filed on June 20, 2024, entitled “Earphone Charging Case and Earphone System”, and Chinese Patent Application No. 202421429929.1, filed on June 20, 2024, entitled “Earphone Case Assembly and Earphone System”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This disclosure relates to the field of sound-generating equipment technology, and more specifically, to an earphone case assembly and an earphone system. Background Technology

[0003] Wireless headphones eliminate the need for connecting cables, avoiding tangled wires and making them convenient to use. To facilitate storage, a charging case can be provided for wireless headphones. When not in use, users can store the headphones in the case to prevent accidental loss.

[0004] Currently, the opening mechanism of headphone storage cases is relatively simple, making it inconvenient to take out and put in headphones.

[0005] Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide a lead-out component, a cover assembly, a battery, and an electrical device to solve the problem in the related art where the tabs are folded inside the battery, making them easy to insert backwards into the electrode core.

[0007] In a first aspect, this disclosure provides an earphone case assembly and an earphone system, which solves the problem of inconvenience in taking wireless earphones out of the storage case in the related art.

[0008] In a first aspect, this application provides an earphone case assembly, including:

[0009] The first cover has a first end and a second end;

[0010] The second cover has a third end and a fourth end, and the second cover is disposed opposite to the first cover, with the first end being movably connected to the third end;

[0011] An end cap is disposed between the first cover and the second cover. The first cover, the second cover, and the end cap form a receiving cavity for accommodating the earphone. The end cap is provided with a port for charging the earphone case assembly and / or an indicator light for displaying the battery level of the earphone case assembly.

[0012] The second end and the fourth end are configured to move toward or away from each other to close or open the accommodating cavity.

[0013] Secondly, based on the aforementioned headphone case assembly, this application also proposes a headphone system, including a headphone body and the aforementioned headphone case assembly, wherein the headphone body is detachably disposed within the receiving cavity of the headphone case assembly.

[0014] In the headphone case assembly provided in this application, a first cover and a second cover are disposed opposite to each other. A first end of the first cover is movably connected to a third end of the second cover. An end cover is located between the first and second covers, allowing the first cover, second cover, and end cover to enclose and form a receiving cavity. The headphone body is disposed within the receiving cavity, enabling it to be stored. The parts of the first cover (excluding the first end) and the parts of the second cover (excluding the third end) are movable relative to each other, allowing the second and fourth ends of the first and second covers to move towards or away from each other. When the second and fourth ends move away from each other, the distance between them increases, forming an opening between them that connects the receiving cavity to the outside. This allows the headphone body to be removed from the receiving cavity through this opening. When the second and fourth ends move towards each other, the distance between them decreases, closing the opening and thus the receiving cavity, allowing the headphone body to be better stored within it.

[0015] The end cap has a port for charging the headphone case assembly and / or an indicator light for displaying the battery level of the headphone case assembly, so that the position of the port and the indicator light does not change when the shape of the headphone case assembly changes, making it convenient for users to charge the headphone case assembly through the port.

[0016] The headphone system proposed in this application, by including the aforementioned headphone case assembly, makes the process of taking the headphone body out of and putting it into the housing cavity of the headphone case assembly simple and convenient. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The embodiments of this disclosure are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting this disclosure.

[0037] In the description of this disclosure, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this disclosure and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this disclosure.

[0038] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this disclosure is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0039] Example 1:

[0040] This application provides an earphone case assembly, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, including a first cover 100a, a second cover 200a, a first handle 130a, and a second handle 230a. This earphone case assembly can be used to house the earphone body and to charge the earphone body.

[0041] To facilitate a detailed description of the headphone case assembly's structure, its various orientations can be defined. For example, from the axial side view of the headphone case assembly, the longer side is defined as the length direction of the assembly, i.e., the X direction in Figure 1; the shorter side is defined as the width direction, i.e., the Y direction in Figure 1; and the direction perpendicular to the front of the assembly is the thickness direction, i.e., the Z direction in Figure 1. Taking the placement of the headphone case assembly in Figures 6 to 8 as an example, the left-right direction represents the thickness direction, the up-down direction represents the width direction, and the direction perpendicular to the paper represents the length direction.

[0042] The first cover 100a and the second cover 200a are the basic components of the headphone case assembly of this application. The first cover 100a and the second cover 200a can provide a mounting base for at least some other components of the headphone case assembly and serve to protect those components. The first cover 100a and the second cover 200a can be made of polymer materials, giving them a certain structural strength while maintaining a relatively light weight. Alternatively, the first cover 100a and the second cover 200a can also be made of metal materials, giving them better structural strength and thus improving their durability and reliability.

[0043] The first cover 100a has a first end 110a and a second end 120a, which are opposite ends of the first cover 100a. The second cover 200a has a third end 210a and a fourth end 220a, which are also opposite ends of the second cover 200a. The first cover 100a and the second cover 200a are disposed opposite each other, and the first cover 100a and the second cover 200a are distributed on both sides of the thickness direction of the headphone case assembly along the width direction of the headphone case assembly. The first end 110a of the first cover 100a is movably connected to the third end 210a of the second cover 200a, so that the first cover 100a and the second cover 200a can form a receiving cavity 140a. The outer walls of the first cover 100a and the second cover 200a can form the inner wall of the receiving cavity 140a, and the earphone body 600a can be disposed in the receiving cavity 140a.

[0044] The first end 110a of the first cover 100a and the third end 210a of the second cover 200a are movably connected, allowing the first cover 100a and the second cover 200a to move relative to each other. Consequently, the second end 120a of the first cover 100a and the fourth end 220a of the second cover 200a can move towards each other or away from each other. Specifically, the second end 120a and the fourth end 220a can move towards each other or away from each other along the thickness direction of the headphone case assembly.

[0045] When the second end 120a of the first cover 100a and the fourth end 220a of the second cover 200a move away from each other, the distance between the second end 120a and the fourth end 220a increases. This creates a gap between the second end 120a and the fourth end 220a, forming an opening that connects the accommodating cavity 140a to the outside of the accommodating cavity 140a, allowing the accommodating cavity 140a to be opened. Correspondingly, the thickness of the headphone case assembly can be increased. The headphone body 600a can be placed in the accommodating cavity 140a through the opening between the second end 120a and the fourth end 220a, or the headphone body 600a can be removed from the accommodating cavity 140a through the opening between the second end 120a and the fourth end 220a, thus achieving the purpose of placing and removing the headphone body 600a.

[0046] When the second end 120a of the first cover 100a moves toward the fourth end 220a of the second cover 200a, the distance between the second end 120a and the fourth end 220a decreases until they contact each other, thus eliminating any gap between them and closing the receiving cavity 140a. Correspondingly, the thickness of the headphone case assembly can be reduced. Therefore, the headphone body 600a can be enclosed within the receiving cavity 140a, preventing it from falling out and protecting it.

[0047] The second end 120a of the first cover 100a and the fourth end 220a of the second cover 200a can move towards or away from each other along the thickness direction of the headphone case assembly. This allows the second end 120a and the fourth end 220a to separate more efficiently, and the distance between the second end 120a and the fourth end 220a to be relatively larger, so that the opening formed when the receiving cavity 140a is opened is larger. The receiving cavity 140a is fully opened, and the headphone body 600a can be more conveniently taken out and put in from the receiving cavity 140a.

[0048] A first handle 130a protrudes from the second end 120a of the first cover 100a. Specifically, one end of the first handle 130a is located at the second end 120a of the first cover 100a, and the other end of the first handle 130a extends in a direction away from the first end 110a of the first cover 100a, so that the first handle 130a can protrude from the second end 120a of the first cover 100a. A second handle 230a protrudes from the fourth end 220a of the second cover 200a. Specifically, one end of the second handle 230a is located at the fourth end 220a of the second cover 200a, and the other end of the second handle 230a extends in a direction away from the third end 210a of the second cover 200a, so that the second handle 230a can protrude from the fourth end 220a of the second cover 200a. When the accommodating cavity 140a is closed, that is, when the second end 120a of the first cover 100a and the fourth end 220a of the second cover 200a are relatively close to each other until they come into contact, at least part of the first handle 130a and the second handle 230a are misaligned, so that at least part of the first handle 130a and the second handle 230a will not block each other.

[0049] When the accommodating cavity 140a is opened, a force is applied to the outer wall of the first handle 130a on the side adjacent to the second cover 200a, moving it away from the second cover 200a. This causes the first cover 100a to move away from the second cover 200a, increasing the distance between the second end 120a and the fourth end 220a, thus forming an opening between them and opening the accommodating cavity 140a. When the accommodating cavity 140a is closed, a force is applied to the outer wall of the first handle 130a on the side opposite to the second cover 200a, moving it towards the second cover 200a. This causes the first handle 130a to move closer to the second cover 200a, thus bringing the first cover 100a closer to the second cover 200a, and closing the accommodating cavity 140a.

[0050] When the accommodating cavity 140a is opened, a force can be applied to the outer wall of the second handle 230a on the side adjacent to the first cover 100a, moving it away from the first cover 100a. This causes the first cover 100a to move away from the second cover 200a, increasing the distance between the second end 120a and the fourth end 220a, thus forming an opening between them and opening the accommodating cavity 140a. When the accommodating cavity 140a is closed, a force can be applied to the outer wall of the second handle 230a on the side opposite to the first cover 100a, moving it towards the first cover 100a. This causes the second handle 230a to move closer to the first cover 100a, thus bringing the second cover 200a closer to the first cover 100a, and closing the accommodating cavity 140a.

[0051] Furthermore, when the accommodating cavity 140a is opened, the accommodating cavity 140a can be opened by simultaneously applying a force away from the second cover 200a to the outer wall of the first handle 130a adjacent to the second cover 200a and a force away from the first cover 100a to the outer wall of the second handle 230a adjacent to the first cover 100a. When the accommodating cavity 140a is closed, the accommodating cavity 140a can be closed by simultaneously applying a force towards the second cover 200a to the outer wall of the first handle 130a away from the second cover 200a and a force towards the first cover 100a to the outer wall of the second handle 230a away from the first cover 100a.

[0052] Specifically, the user can easily open and close the accommodating cavity 140a with one hand. The user's thumb and index finger can respectively rest against the first handle 130a and the second handle 230a. By applying a force to the second handle 230a in the direction opposite to the first cover 100a through the index finger, the second handle 230a moves away from the first handle 130a, thereby opening the accommodating cavity 140a. In this way, only pressing pressure needs to be applied to the first handle 130a and / or the second handle 230a during the opening of the accommodating cavity 140a. There is no need to press the first cover 100a and the second cover 200a to create friction to open the accommodating cavity 140a, thus making the opening and closing process of the accommodating cavity 140a simple and convenient.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first handle 130a and the first cover 100a of this application can be integrally formed structural components, which improves the connection reliability between the first handle 130a and the first cover 100a. Similarly, the second handle 230a and the second cover 200a of this application can be integrally formed structural components, which further improves the connection reliability between the second handle 230a and the second cover 200a.

[0054] The first handle 130a and the first cover 100a of this application can also be manufactured separately and then connected by an assembly process. Similarly, the second handle 230a and the second cover 200a can also be manufactured separately and then connected by an assembly process. This reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the first handle 130a, the second handle 230a, the first cover 100a, and the second cover 200a. Specifically, the first handle 130a and the first cover 100a can be connected by threads, and the second handle 230a and the second cover 200a can also be connected by threads, making it easy to disassemble the first handle 130a and the second handle 230a.

[0055] In some embodiments, referring to FIG2, the first handle 130a of this application has a first recessed region 132a and a first convex region 131a in at least one of the thickness direction, width direction, and length direction. The second handle 230a of this application has a second recessed region 232a and a second convex region 231a in at least one of the thickness direction, width direction, and length direction. When the receiving cavity 140a of the headphone case assembly is closed, the first recessed region 132a is opposite to the second convex region 231a, and the first convex region 131a is opposite to the second recessed region 232a.

[0056] Specifically, the first concave area 132a and the first convex area 131a of the first handle 130a can be connected. The first concave area 132a can be a groove structure on the first handle 130a, and correspondingly, the first convex area 131a is a protrusion structure on the first handle 130a. The second handle 230a also has a second concave area 232a and a second convex area 231a that can be connected. The second concave area 232a can be a groove structure on the second handle 230a, and correspondingly, the second convex area 231a is a protrusion structure on the first handle 130a. When the receiving cavity 140a of the headphone case assembly is closed, the first convex region 131a can be embedded in the second concave region 232a, and the second convex region 231a can be embedded in the first concave region 132a. Thus, the first convex region 131a and the second concave region 232a are mutually limited, and the second convex region 231a and the first concave region 132a are relatively limited, so that the first handle 130a and the second handle 230a are mutually limited and fixed, so that they can be relatively fixed in the length and width directions of the headphone case assembly. This also allows the first cover 100a and the second cover 200a to be relatively fixed in the length and width directions of the headphone case assembly. In this way, when the receiving cavity 140a of the headphone case assembly of this application is closed, the structure of the headphone case assembly is more stable. Furthermore, by staggering the first handle 130a and the second handle 230a, the first handle 130a and the second handle 230a can be designed to be smaller and lighter, reducing the amount of material used in the first handle 130a and the second handle 230a, which is beneficial to the miniaturization and lightness of the headphone case assembly.

[0057] In some embodiments, referring to FIG1, to make the connection between the second end 120a of the first cover 100a and the fourth end 220a of the second cover 200a more reliable when the accommodating cavity 140a is closed, the second end 120a and the fourth end 220a can be connected by magnetic adsorption. This prevents the first handle 130a and / or the second handle 230a from easily separating under external force, so that the accommodating cavity 140a of the headphone case assembly can be stably kept closed. When it is necessary to open the accommodating cavity 140a, a force greater than the magnetic adsorption force between the second end 120a and the fourth end 220a can be applied to the first handle 130a and / or the second handle 230a, making the opening process of the accommodating cavity 140a simple and convenient. In this way, the opening and closing of the accommodating cavity 140a can be achieved without additional operation on the first handle 130a and / or the second handle 230a.

[0058] In addition, when the earphone case assembly's accommodating cavity 140a is closed, the first handle 130a and the second handle 230a can be connected by magnetic attraction, so that the first handle 130a and the second handle 230a can be relatively fixed in the thickness direction of the earphone case assembly, so that the earphone case assembly's accommodating cavity 140a can be stably kept in the closed state.

[0059] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1, 3, and 4, to enable the second end 120a of the first cover 100a and the fourth end 220a of the second cover 200a to be magnetically connected, the earphone case assembly of this application may further include a first magnetic connector 133a and a second magnetic connector 233a. The first magnetic connector 133a is disposed at the second end 120a of the first cover 100a, and the second magnetic connector 233a is disposed at the fourth end 220a of the second cover 200a. When the second end 120a and the fourth end 220a move towards each other and come into contact, the first magnetic connector 133a and the second magnetic connector 233a attract each other, thereby fixing the second end 120a and the fourth end 220a relatively.

[0060] The first magnetic connector 133a can also be disposed on the first handle 130a, and the second magnetic connector 233a can also be disposed on the second handle 230a. In this way, when the first handle 130a and the second handle 230a come into contact, the first magnetic connector 133a and the second magnetic connector 233a can also be magnetically attracted and connected, so that the first handle 130a and the second handle 230a are relatively fixed, and the receiving cavity 140a of the headphone box assembly can remain closed.

[0061] Specifically, both the first magnetic connector 133a and the second magnetic connector 233a are magnetic components with different polarities. This allows them to magnetically attract each other when they are close together. The presence of magnetism in both components enhances the reliability of their magnetic attraction, ensuring a reliable connection between the second end 120a and the fourth end 220a. In addition, a first magnetic connector 133a can be provided on the second end 120a of the first cover 100a, and a non-magnetic component that can be magnetically attracted to the first magnetic connector 133a can be provided on the fourth end 220a of the second cover 200a. Alternatively, a second magnetic connector 233a can be provided on the fourth end 220a of the second cover 200a, and a non-magnetic component that can be magnetically attracted to the second magnetic connector 233a can be provided on the second end 120a of the first cover 100a. This also allows the second end 120a and the fourth end 220a to be fixed by magnetic attraction, and also reduces the manufacturing cost of the headphone box assembly of this application.

[0062] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3 and 4, to allow the first magnetic connector 133a to be fixed to the second end 120a of the first cover 100a, the first magnetic connector 133a may be disposed between the second end 120a of the first cover 100a and the first handle 130a, so that the first magnetic connector 133a is sandwiched between the second end 120a and the first handle 130a. Specifically, one end of the first handle 130a may be connected to the side wall of the first cover 100a located at the second end 120a, and a first groove for accommodating the first magnetic connector 133a may be formed on the first handle 130a and / or the first cover 100a, and the first magnetic connector 133a may be embedded in the first groove. The opposing sides of the first magnetic connector 133a may abut against the second end 120a and the first handle 130a respectively, so that the first magnetic connector 133a is reliably fixed. By providing a first groove in the first cover 100a and / or the first handle 130a, the thickness of the first cover 100a and the first handle 130a will not be increased when the first magnetic connector 133a is fixed between the first cover 100a and the first handle 130a, so that the structure of the headphone box assembly of this application is more compact.

[0063] To secure the second magnetic connector 233a to the fourth end 220a of the second cover 200a, the second magnetic connector 233a can be positioned between the fourth end 220a of the second cover 200a and the second handle 230a, thus clamping the second magnetic connector 233a between the fourth end 220a and the second handle 230a. Specifically, one end of the second handle 230a can be connected to the side wall of the second cover 200a located at the fourth end 220a. A second groove for accommodating the second magnetic connector 233a can be formed on the second handle 230a and / or the second cover 200a, and the second magnetic connector 233a can be embedded in the second groove. The opposing sides of the second magnetic connector 233a can respectively abut against the fourth end 220a and the second handle 230a to reliably secure the second magnetic connector 233a. By providing a second groove in the second cover 200a and / or the second handle 230a, the second magnetic connector 233a can be fixed between the second cover 200a and the second handle 230a without increasing the thickness of the second cover 200a and the second handle 230a, so that the structure of the headphone box assembly of this application is more compact.

[0064] Specifically, the first groove can be formed on the side of the first handle 130a facing the first cover 100a, and the second groove can be formed on the side of the second handle 230a facing the second cover 200a. The first magnetic connector 133a can also be glued to the first groove with adhesive, and the second magnetic connector 233a can also be glued to the second groove with adhesive, so as to improve the fixing effect of the first magnetic connector 133a and the second magnetic connector 233a.

[0065] Furthermore, the number of first magnetic connectors 133a and second magnetic connectors 233a can be set to be multiple, and the multiple first magnetic connectors 133a and multiple second magnetic connectors 233a are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. When the accommodating cavity 140a is closed, the multiple first magnetic connectors 133a can be opposite to and attracted to the multiple second magnetic connectors 233a respectively, so that the second end 120a of the first cover 100a and the fourth end 220a of the second cover 200a are more reliably connected.

[0066] Of course, the number of first magnetic connectors 133a and the number of second magnetic connectors 233a can also be set differently. One first magnetic connector 133a can be adsorbed onto multiple second magnetic connectors 233a; or, one second magnetic connector 233a can be adsorbed onto multiple first magnetic connectors 133a. This application does not limit the specific number of first magnetic connectors 133a and second magnetic connectors 233a.

[0067] In some embodiments, referring to FIG5, to enable relative movement between the first cover 100a and the second cover 200a, the earphone case assembly of this application may further include a rotating connector 400a. The rotating connector 400a is located between the first cover 100a and the second cover 200a, and the first end 110a of the first cover 100a is connected to the third end 210a of the second cover 200a via the rotating connector 400a. The rotating connector 400a is a deformable structural component; therefore, when the first cover 100a and the second cover 200a are subjected to forces moving in opposite directions, the rotating connector 400a can deform under force, thereby reducing or increasing the distance between the second end 120a and the fourth end 220a, thus enabling the accommodating cavity 140a to close and open.

[0068] Specifically, when the distance between the second end 120a and the fourth end 220a decreases, the first cover 100a and the second cover 200a compress the rotating connector 400a, causing the two sides of the rotating connector 400a connected to the first end 110a and the third end 210a to move closer together. When the distance between the second end 120a and the fourth end 220a increases, the force exerted by the first cover 100a and the second cover 200a on the rotating connector 400a decreases, causing the two sides of the rotating connector 400a connected to the first end 110a and the third end 210a to move further apart.

[0069] In some embodiments, the rotating connector 400a may also be a rotating shaft. Specifically, both the first cover 100a and the second cover 200a can be rotatably connected to the rotating shaft, so that both the first cover 100a and the second cover 200a can rotate relative to the rotating shaft, thereby allowing the first cover 100a and the second cover 200a to rotate relative to each other.

[0070] In some embodiments, referring to FIG5, when the rotating connector 400a of this application is a deformable structural component, the rotating connector 400a can be made of a polymer elastic structural component, specifically TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer). Thus, the rotating connector 400a can have elastic deformation properties while the manufacturing process is relatively simple, thereby reducing the cost of the headphone box assembly of this application.

[0071] In some embodiments, referring to FIG5, the headphone case assembly of this application may further include a third housing 300a. One side of the third housing 300a is movably connected to the first end 110a of the first cover 100a via a rotating connector 400a, and the other side of the third housing 300a is movably connected to the second cover 200a via the rotating connector 400a. The third housing 300a can constitute the base of the headphone case assembly, and the outer wall of the third housing 300a can constitute the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 140a. Both the first cover 100a and the second cover 200a can be movable relative to the third housing 300a, thereby decreasing or increasing the distance between the first cover 100a and the second cover 200a, and consequently decreasing or increasing the distance between the second end 120a and the fourth end 220a, thus closing or opening the accommodating cavity 140a.

[0072] By providing a third housing 300a, the distance between the first cover 100a and the second cover 200a can be increased, thereby increasing the volume of the receiving cavity 140a. This allows for the placement of more components within the receiving cavity 140a, and also enables a larger volume of the earphone body 600a that can be accommodated within the receiving cavity 140a. Furthermore, it should be understood that other components within the receiving cavity 140a of the earphone case assembly can also be mounted on the third housing 300a, making component placement within the receiving cavity 140a more convenient. The earphone body 600a can also be mounted on the third housing 300a, so that the earphone body 600a does not move with the first cover 100a and the second cover 200a during the opening and closing of the receiving cavity 140a, thus making the process of taking the earphone body 600a out of and into the receiving cavity 140a more convenient.

[0073] Referring to Figure 6, the rotating connector 400a can be T-shaped and connected between the first cover 100a and the third housing 300a, as well as between the second cover 200a and the third housing 300a, so that the rotating connector 400a can be easily bent and deformed.

[0074] Referring to Figure 7, the rotating connector 400a can also be in a straight line shape.

[0075] Referring to Figure 8, the rotating connector 40 can be integrally formed with the third housing 300a. The rotating connector 400a can also have one or more grooves in its length direction to make it easier to bend.

[0076] In some embodiments, referring to FIG2, the headphone box assembly of this application may also include an end cover 500a, the end cover 500a being connected to a third housing 300a, and the first cover 100a, the second cover 200a, the third housing 300a and the end cover 500a together forming an accommodating cavity 140a of the headphone box assembly.

[0077] Specifically, end caps 500a can be disposed on both sides of the third housing 300a along the length of the earphone case assembly, and end caps 500a can form the outer wall of the earphone case assembly in the length direction. When the second end 120a of the first cover 100a and the fourth end 220a of the second cover 200a move towards each other until the accommodating cavity 140a is closed, the first cover 100a and the second cover 200a can contact and fit against the two sides of the end caps 500a, so that the accommodating cavity 140a is fully closed.

[0078] The end cover 500a may be provided with a charging port for the earphone case assembly and / or an indicator light for displaying the battery level of the earphone case assembly. Specifically, both the charging port and the indicator light for displaying the battery level of the earphone case assembly are located on the outer wall of the end cover 500a facing away from the receiving cavity 140a. During the opening and closing of the receiving cavity 140a of the earphone case assembly, the end cover 500a and the third housing 300a are relatively fixed and will not move with the first cover 100a and the second cover 200a, thereby facilitating the provision of a circuit structure on the end cover 500a that cooperates with the charging port and the indicator light.

[0079] In some embodiments, referring to FIG2, the earphone box assembly of this application may further include a first connector 510a, one end of which is connected to the first cover 100a, and the other end of which is connected to the end cover 500a. When the second end 120a of the first cover 100a moves toward or away from the fourth end 220a of the second cover 200a, the straight-line distance between the first connector 510a and the end cover 500a decreases or increases accordingly.

[0080] Specifically, the first connector 510a can also form part of the accommodating cavity 140a surrounding the headphone case assembly. The first connector 510a is a deformable structural component, which reduces or increases the straight distance between the first cover 100a and the end cover 500a accordingly. This allows the side of the accommodating cavity 140a of the headphone case assembly to always remain closed, preventing dust and impurities from entering the accommodating cavity 140a from the side of the headphone case assembly.

[0081] The first connector 510a can be a foldable structure. When the second end 120a and the fourth end 220a move towards each other, at least a portion of the first connector 510a can be folded, reducing the length of the first connector 510a between the end cap 500a and the first cap 100a to accommodate the reduced distance between the first cap 100a and the end cap 500a. When the second end 120a and the fourth end 220a move away from each other, at least a portion of the first connector 510a can be unfolded from its folded state, increasing the length of the first connector 510a between the end cap 500a and the first cap 100a to accommodate the increased distance between the first cap 100a and the end cap 500a.

[0082] The first connector 510a may also be a telescopic or flexible deformable structure, thereby allowing the length of the first connector 510a between the first cover 100a and the second cover 200a to be adaptively increased or decreased when subjected to external forces.

[0083] In some embodiments, referring to FIG2, the earphone box assembly of this application may further include a second connector 520a, one end of which is connected to the second cover 200a, and the other end of which is connected to the end cover 500a. When the second end 120a of the second cover 200a moves toward or away from the fourth end 220a of the second cover 200a, the straight-line distance between the second connector 520a and the end cover 500a decreases or increases accordingly.

[0084] Specifically, the second connector 520a can also form part of the accommodating cavity 140a surrounding the headphone case assembly. The second connector 520a is a deformable structural component, which reduces or increases the straight-line distance between the second cover 200a and the end cover 500a accordingly. This allows the side of the accommodating cavity 140a of the headphone case assembly to always remain closed, preventing dust and impurities from entering the accommodating cavity 140a from the side of the headphone case assembly.

[0085] The second connector 520a can be a foldable structure. When the second end 120a and the fourth end 220a move towards each other, at least a portion of the second connector 520a can be folded, reducing the length of the second connector 520a between the end cap 500a and the second cap 200a to accommodate the reduced distance between the second cap 200a and the end cap 500a. When the second end 120a and the fourth end 220a move away from each other, at least a portion of the second connector 520a can be unfolded from its folded state, increasing the length of the second connector 520a between the end cap 500a and the second cap 200a to accommodate the increased distance between the second cap 200a and the end cap 500a.

[0086] The second connector 520a can also be a telescopic or flexible deformable structure, thereby allowing the length of the second connector 520a between the first cover 100a and the second cover 200a to be adaptively increased or decreased when subjected to external forces.

[0087] When the first connector 510a and the second connector 520a are telescopic structural components, a receiving groove structure for accommodating the first connector 510a and the second connector 520a can be opened in the end cover body 500a. When the receiving cavity 140a is closed, the first connector 510a and the second connector 520a can be embedded in the receiving groove of the end cover body 500a. When the receiving cavity 140a is opened, the first connector 510a and the second connector 520a can extend out from the receiving groove of the end cover body 500a.

[0088] In some embodiments, when the earphone case assembly of this application does not have an end cover 500a, the earphone case assembly of this application may also include a third connector (not shown in the figure). One side of the third connector is connected to the edge of the first cover 100a located between the first end 110a and the second end 120a, and the other side of the third connector is connected to the edge of the second cover 200a located between the third end 210a and the fourth end 220a, so that the first cover 100a and the second cover 200a are connected by the third connector. The first cover 100a, the second cover 200a, the third housing 300a, and the third connector can be arranged to form the aforementioned accommodating cavity 140a. The outer wall of the third connector facing the accommodating cavity 140a can also form the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 140a. Thus, when the accommodating cavity 140a is opened, it can communicate with the outside only through the opening formed by the gap between the second end 120a of the first cover 100a and the fourth end 220a of the second cover 200a. This reduces the size of the opening between the accommodating cavity 140a and the outside, thereby preventing external dust and impurities from entering the accommodating cavity 140a to a certain extent.

[0089] Specifically, the third connector can be disposed on both sides of the earphone box assembly along the length direction of the earphone box assembly. The two third connectors are respectively disposed on both sides of the first cover 100a, so that the two third connectors are respectively located on both sides of the accommodating cavity 140a, and the two third connectors are also disposed opposite to each other. In this way, the first cover 100a, the second cover 200a, the third shell 300a and the two third connectors can jointly surround and form the accommodating cavity 140a.

[0090] The third connector is a compressible or stretchable deformable structural component. When the second end 120a of the first cover 100a and the fourth end 220a of the second cover 200a move away from each other to open the accommodating cavity 140a, the distance between the area between the first end 110a and the second end 120a of the first cover 100a and the area between the third end 210a and the fourth end 220a of the second cover 200a increases, and the third connector can be stretched. When the second end 120a of the first cover 100a and the fourth end 220a of the second cover 200a move towards each other to open the accommodating cavity 140a, the distance between the area between the first end 110a and the second end 120a of the first cover 100a and the area between the third end 210a and the fourth end 220a of the second cover 200a decreases, and the third connector can be compressed. Therefore, the third connector can always seal both sides of the accommodating cavity 140a, preventing dust and impurities from entering the accommodating cavity 140a through both sides.

[0091] In some embodiments, referring to FIG5, the headphone case assembly of this application may further include a first flexible protective layer 800a. The first flexible protective layer 800a covers the opposite sidewalls of the first cover 100a and the second cover 200a. Specifically, a portion of the first flexible protective layer 800a covers the outer wall of the first cover 100a facing away from the second cover 200a, and another portion covers the outer wall of the second cover 200a facing away from the first cover 100a. The first flexible protective layer 800a is a flexible structural component; therefore, its texture is relatively soft, resulting in better comfort for the user when holding the headphone case assembly. Furthermore, it also prevents mutual wear between the first cover 100a and the second cover 200a and other components when they come into contact with other objects.

[0092] Referring to Figure 5, the earphone case assembly of this application may further include a second flexible protective layer 900a. Specifically, the second flexible protective layer 900a covers the opposing sidewalls of the first cover 100a and the second cover 200a. Part of the second flexible protective layer 900a covers the sidewall of the first cover 100a facing the second cover 200a, while another part covers the sidewall of the second cover 200a facing the first cover 100a. The second flexible protective layer 900a is a flexible structural component; therefore, its texture is relatively soft. This prevents wear and tear between the earphone body 600a and the opposing sidewalls of the first cover 100a and the second cover 200a when other components within the accommodating cavity 140a, such as the earphone body 600a, come into contact with these opposing sidewalls, thus protecting the earphone body 600a and other components.

[0093] In some embodiments, the first flexible protective layer 800a and the second flexible protective layer 900a may be selected from at least one of PU (polyurethane) leather, microfiber leather, technical fabric, and PVC (polyvinyl chloride) leather.

[0094] In some embodiments, to enable both sides of the first connector 510a and the second connector 520a to be connected to the first cover 100a and the second cover 200a, both sides of the first connector 510a and the second connector 520a may be clamped by the first flexible protective layer 800a and the second flexible protective layer 900a. The side where the first connector 510a and the second connector 520a are connected to the first cover 100a can be clamped and fixed by the first flexible protective layer 800a and the second flexible protective layer 900a on the first cover 100a, thereby allowing the first connector 510a and the second connector 520a to be fixed to the first cover 100a through the first flexible protective layer 800a and the second flexible protective layer 900a. The side where the first connector 510a and the second connector 520a are connected to the second cover 200a can be clamped and fixed by the first flexible protective layer 800a and the second flexible protective layer 900a on the second cover 200a, so that the third connector can be fixed to the second cover 200a by the first flexible protective layer 800a and the second flexible protective layer 900a.

[0095] The first flexible protective layer 800a and the second flexible protective layer 900a can also be disposed on opposite sides of the end cap 500a, so that the side of the first connector 510a and the second connector 520a connected to the end cap 500a can be sandwiched by the first flexible protective layer 800a and the second flexible protective layer 900a on the end cap 500a.

[0096] Specifically, the first flexible protective layer 800a and the second flexible protective layer 900a on the first cover 100a can protrude from the edge of the first cover 100a. The side of the first connector 510a and the second connector 520a connected to the first cover 100a can be clamped by the part of the first flexible protective layer 800a and the second flexible protective layer 900a protruding from the edge of the first cover 100a, which can prevent the first connector 510a and the second connector 520a from stacking on the first cover 100a, thereby preventing additional protruding structures on the sidewalls of opposite sides of the first cover 100a. The first flexible protective layer 800a and the second flexible protective layer 900a on the second cover 200a can protrude from the edge of the second cover 200a. The side of the first connector 510a and the second connector 520a connected to the second cover 200a can be clamped by the part of the first flexible protective layer 800a and the second flexible protective layer 900a protruding from the edge of the second cover 200a, which can prevent the third connector from being stacked on the second cover 200a, thereby preventing additional protruding structures on the side walls of the opposite sides of the second cover 200a.

[0097] In some embodiments, the first connector 510a, the second connector 520a, the third connector, the first flexible protective layer 800a, and the second flexible protective layer 900a in this application can all be made of fabric-covered components. Fabric-covered components are stretchable, deformable, and relatively soft, and their cost is relatively low. Of course, the first connector 510a, the second connector 520a, the third connector, the first flexible protective layer 800a, and the second flexible protective layer 900a can also be made of other flexible structural components, such as polymer materials; this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0098] Furthermore, the first connector 510a, the second connector 520a, and the third connector may also be elastic structural members. Specifically, when the accommodating cavity 140a is closed, the first connector 510a, the second connector 520a, and the third connector can be compressed and have elastic restoring force, and the elastic restoring force of the first connector 510a, the second connector 520a, and the third connector is less than the magnetic attraction force between the second end 120a of the first cover 100a and the fourth end 220a of the second cover 200a, so that the second end 120a is reliably connected to the second end 120a, and the accommodating cavity 140a is reliably closed. When the user presses the first handle 130a and the second handle 230a to separate the second end 120a from the fourth end 220a, the magnetic attraction between the second end 120a and the fourth end 220a is reduced to less than the elastic restoring force of the first connector 510a, the second connector 520a and the third connector. In this way, the elastic restoring force of the flexible elastic element can act on the first cover 100a and the second cover 200a, so that the second end 120a and the fourth end 220a can move away from each other and separate more efficiently, thereby making the opening process of the accommodating cavity 140a simpler and more efficient.

[0099] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 5 and 9, the earphone case assembly of this application may further include a charging component 700a, which is disposed within the receiving cavity 140a and can be used to charge the earphone body 600a. The charging component 700a may be disposed within the third housing 300a. When the earphone body 600a is placed within the receiving cavity 140a, the earphone body 600a can be electrically connected to the charging component 700a to charge the earphone body 600a.

[0100] The charging component 700a may also be provided with a limiting groove for accommodating the earphone body 600a. At least a portion of the earphone body 600a may be embedded in the limiting groove. Corresponding metal contacts may be provided in the limiting groove and on the earphone body 600a. When the earphone body 600a is embedded in the limiting groove, the earphone body 600a and the metal contacts in the limiting groove contact each other to charge the earphone body 600a.

[0101] Based on the earphone case assembly described above, this application also proposes an earphone system, including the earphone case assembly described above and an earphone body 600a. The earphone body 600a is detachably installed in the receiving cavity 140a. By opening and closing the receiving cavity 140a, the earphone body 600a can be taken out and put in from the receiving cavity 140a.

[0102] Example 2:

[0103] Please refer to Figures 10 to 12. This application embodiment provides an earphone case assembly 1000 for storing and charging earphones 10, wherein the earphones 10 can be wireless earphones. To facilitate a detailed description of the structure of the earphone case assembly, the various orientations of the earphone case assembly 1000 are defined. For example, viewed from the front of the earphone case assembly 1000, the longer side is defined as the length direction of the earphone case assembly 1000, i.e., the X direction in Figures 10 and 11; the shorter side is defined as the width direction of the earphone case assembly 1000, i.e., the Y direction in Figures 10 and 11; and the direction perpendicular to the front of the earphone case assembly 1000 is the thickness direction, i.e., the Z direction in Figures 10 and 11.

[0104] Please refer to Figures 10 to 13. The headphone case assembly 1000 provided in this application embodiment includes a base 100. The base 100 serves as the main supporting component of the headphone case assembly 1000 and is used to support components disposed thereon. For example, the base 100 is used to support the first cover 200, the second cover 300, the circuit board, the headphone 10, and other components.

[0105] In this embodiment, the base 100 has a charging terminal (not shown in the figure) that can be aligned with the charging port (not shown in the figure) on the earphone 10, thereby charging the earphone 10 using the earphone case assembly 1000, which helps to provide sufficient power to the earphone 10.

[0106] It should be noted that the base 100 can be a single base plate or other structures. For example, referring to Figures 12 and 13, the base 100 includes a base plate 110 and two side plates 120, which are spaced apart on the base plate 110 along the thickness direction of the headphone case assembly 1000. It should be understood that the base plate 110 and the two side plates 120 can be a single piece or separate parts; when the base plate 110 and the two side plates 120 are a single piece, they can be manufactured using injection molding, which simplifies the manufacturing process of the base 100 and significantly improves its structural strength.

[0107] The headphone case assembly 1000 also includes a first cover 200 and a second cover 300. One end of the first cover 200 and one end of the second cover 300 are respectively movably connected to the base 100 and are disposed on opposite sides of the base 100 in the thickness direction of the headphone case assembly 1000. Taking the orientation shown in Figure 10 as an example, the first cover 200 is located to the left of the second cover 300. That is, the first cover 200 is the left cover of the headphone case assembly 1000, and the second cover 300 is the right cover of the headphone case assembly 1000.

[0108] The first cover 200 and the second cover 300 include a closed state and an open state; when the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 are in the closed state, their state is shown in Figures 10 and 11; when the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 are in the open state, their state is shown in Figure 12.

[0109] When the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 are in the closed state, the other end of the first cover 200 and the other end of the second cover 300 are connected and together with the base 100 form a receiving cavity for accommodating the earphone 10. When the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 are in the open state, in the thickness direction of the earphone case assembly 1000, the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 open in different directions relative to the base 100 to facilitate the removal and placement of the earphone 10. For example, the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 open the earphone case assembly 1000 in opposite directions to expose the receiving cavity for easy removal and placement of the earphone 10 located in the receiving cavity.

[0110] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 can be in the same or different states. For example, the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 can be simultaneously in a closed or open state relative to the base 100. When the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 face different directions relative to the base 100, the receiving cavity is fully exposed, making it easier for the user to take out and put in the earphones 10, thus improving the usability and efficiency of the earphone case assembly 1000. Furthermore, when the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 are simultaneously in a closed state relative to the base 100, the other ends of the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 connect to and form a receiving cavity with the base 100, providing good protection against dust, moisture, and other external contaminants entering the receiving cavity and protecting the earphones.

[0111] When the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 are in the closed state, the other ends of the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 are engaged and / or magnetically connected to achieve a detachable connection. This embodiment achieves a secure connection between the other ends of the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 through engagement and / or magnetic connection, preventing accidental opening of the headphone case assembly 1000 and ensuring good protection for the headphones 10. Furthermore, the engagement and / or magnetic connection design is relatively simple, requiring no complex mechanical structure, thus reducing the production cost and assembly difficulty of the headphone case assembly 1000.

[0112] In this embodiment, one end of the first cover 200 and one end of the second cover 300 are respectively movably connected to the base 100. Exemplarily, one end of the first cover 200 and one end of the second cover 300 slide or rotate relative to the base 100, so that the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 are respectively in an open state. For example, both one end of the first cover 200 and one end of the second cover 300 slide or rotate relative to the base 100. Another example is that one end of the first cover 200 and one end of the second cover 300 slides relative to the base 100, while the other end rotates relative to the base 100.

[0113] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first cover 200 and the base 100 are rotatably connected by a hinge or a pivot; the first cover 200 and the base 100 are slidably connected by a sliding protrusion and a sliding groove. For example, the surface of the first cover 200 facing the base 100 has a sliding protrusion, and the base 100 has a sliding groove that cooperates with the sliding protrusion. The sliding protrusion slides in the sliding groove to achieve a sliding connection between the first cover 200 and the second cover 300.

[0114] In this embodiment, the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 slide or rotate to open the accommodating cavity. Under the premise of ensuring that the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 are tightly fitted to the base 100, the friction between the first cover 200 and the base 100 and the second cover 300 and the base 100 can be reduced, thereby reducing wear on the first cover 200, the second cover 300 and the base 100 and extending the service life of the headphone box assembly 1000.

[0115] In addition, the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 can slide or rotate to open the accommodating cavity, which can effectively utilize space and avoid the problem of large space occupation that may be caused by traditional flip-top designs, making it especially suitable for environments with limited space.

[0116] As one embodiment of the connection between the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 and the base 100, exemplarily referring to Figure 13, at least one of the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 is rotatably connected to the base 100 via a rotating assembly 400. The rotating assembly 400 includes a rotating shaft 410 and a torsion spring 420. The torsion spring 420 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 410 and provides an outward elastic force to the first cover 200 and / or the second cover 300, causing the first cover 200 and / or the second cover 300 to open relative to the base 100 in different directions.

[0117] This design utilizes the torsion spring 420 to provide outward elastic force, allowing the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 to automatically pop open. This design offers advantages such as convenient operation, optimized space utilization, prevention of accidental opening and closing, extended service life, multi-directional opening and closing, and enhanced safety. Furthermore, the torsion spring 420 can control the opening degree of the first cover 200 and the second cover 300, making it easier to take out and put in the earphones and improving the user experience of the earphone case assembly.

[0118] It should be understood that, in order to facilitate a detailed description of the structure of the rotating assembly 400, the following embodiments will be described in detail using the rotating assembly 400 used to connect the first cover 200 and the base 100 as an example.

[0119] Please refer to Figure 14. The first cover 200 includes a first connecting portion 210 and a first mounting hole 211 disposed on the first connecting portion 210. The first mounting hole 211 can penetrate the first connecting portion 210 along a second direction, or the bottom of the first mounting hole 211 can extend into the first connecting portion 210. It should be noted that the diameters of the first mounting holes 211 can be the same or different. For example, the first mounting hole 211 includes a first segment and a second segment that are interconnected. The diameter of the first segment is smaller than the diameter of the second segment, so that the shape of the first mounting hole 211 is convex.

[0120] The first connecting portion 210 protrudes from the inner surface of the first cover 200. Correspondingly, the area of ​​the base 100 corresponding to the first connecting portion 210 is recessed in a direction away from the first connecting portion 210, so that a relief groove 140 is formed on the base 100. The relief groove 140 is used to prevent the first cover 200 from rotating. It should be noted that when the base 100 includes a base plate 110 and a side plate 120, the relief groove 140 can be provided on the side plate 120.

[0121] The base 100 includes a second connecting part 130 and a second mounting hole 131 disposed in the second connecting part 130. The second mounting hole 131 is disposed opposite to the first mounting hole 211 and communicates with it.

[0122] One end of the rotating shaft 410 is located inside the first mounting hole 211, and the other end of the rotating shaft 410 is located inside the second mounting hole 131, so as to connect the first cover 200 and the base 100. A torsion spring 420 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 410 and located inside the first mounting hole 211. The torsion spring arm of the torsion spring 420 abuts against the inner wall of the first mounting hole 211.

[0123] It should be noted that the number of rotating components 400 can be one or two. For example, there can be two rotating components 400, which can be spaced apart along the length of the headphone case assembly 1000, so that the first cover 200 and / or the second cover 300 are rotatably connected to the base 100 through the two rotating components 400. This can improve the stability of the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 during rotation, and also help the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 maintain a suitable opening angle.

[0124] In this embodiment, the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 can directly form a receiving cavity with the base 100, or they can cooperate with other components.

[0125] For example, referring to Figures 12 and 14, the headphone case assembly 1000 further includes a first end cap 600 and a second end cap 700 for sealing the opening formed by the ends of the first cover body 200 and the second cover body 300. The first end cap 600 and the first cover body 200 can be integral or separate; correspondingly, the second end cap 700 and the second cover body 300 can be integral or separate.

[0126] In one example, in a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the headphone case assembly 1000, i.e., in the length direction of the headphone case assembly 1000, the first end cap 600 and the second end cap 700 are disposed on opposite sides of the base 100, meaning the first end cap 600 and the first cover body 200 are separate structures. This arrangement makes it easier to assemble and disassemble the various components of the headphone case assembly 1000, facilitating maintenance and replacement. Furthermore, by distributing the first end cap 600 and the second end cap 700 on opposite sides of the base 100, the structural stability of the entire headphone case assembly 1000 can be increased. It should be noted that the perpendicularity and parallelism involved in this embodiment can be understood as essentially perpendicular and essentially parallel. For example, the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the headphone case assembly 1000 has an angle close to 90° with the thickness direction of the headphone case assembly 1000, but a 10° error between the two is allowed.

[0127] In another example, the ends of the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 extend in the thickness direction of the headphone case assembly 1000 to form a first end cap 600 and a second end cap 700, respectively. This arrangement reduces the number of components in the headphone case assembly 1000, simplifies manufacturing and assembly processes, reduces production costs, and improves production efficiency. Furthermore, the integrated design of the first cover 200 with the first end cap 600 and the second cover 300 with the second end cap 700 better optimizes the use of internal space in the headphone case assembly 1000, ensuring that the headphones 10 and other components can be rationally arranged, thus improving the overall performance of the headphone case assembly 1000.

[0128] In one possible implementation, the headphone case assembly 1000 further includes a drive mechanism 500, which drives the first cover 200 and / or the second cover 300 to switch between a closed state and an open state. The drive mechanism 500 may include at least one of mechanical drive, electric drive, magnetic drive, and electromagnetic drive.

[0129] This embodiment utilizes a drive mechanism 500 to automatically switch the first cover 200 and / or the second cover 300 between a closed state and an open state, reducing manual operation steps for the user and improving ease of use and efficiency. Furthermore, the drive mechanism 500 can include at least one of mechanical drive, electric drive, magnetic drive, and electromagnetic drive, providing a variety of drive methods to choose from. The most suitable drive method can be selected according to specific application needs and design requirements, increasing design flexibility.

[0130] As one possible implementation of the drive mechanism 500, the drive mechanism 500 includes a first magnetic element 510 and a second magnetic element 520, the first magnetic element 510 and the second magnetic element 520 having the same magnetism; for example, the first magnetic element 510 and the second magnetic element 520 have N poles; or for another example, the first magnetic element 510 and the second magnetic element 520 have S poles.

[0131] The second magnetic element 520 is disposed in one of the first cover 200 and the second cover 300, and the first magnetic element 510 is movably connected to the other of the first cover 200 and the second cover 300, and the first magnetic element 510 can move toward the second magnetic element 520; when the first magnetic element 510 is opposite to the second magnetic element 520, the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 move simultaneously to open the receiving cavity.

[0132] Taking the orientation shown in Figures 10 and 12 as an example, when the first magnetic element 510 moves toward the second magnetic element 520 and is opposite to the second magnetic element 520, the driving mechanism 500 can drive the first cover 200 to rotate in a direction away from the second cover 300. At the same time, the driving mechanism 500 drives the second cover 300 to rotate in a direction away from the first cover 200, so that the receiving cavity can be opened from both sides at the same time. This setting makes the operation of taking out and putting in the headphones simpler and more convenient.

[0133] In addition, the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 can be opened simultaneously, increasing the space for taking out and putting in the headphones. This not only facilitates taking out and putting in the headphones, but also increases the variety of ways to arrange the headphones in the headphone case assembly.

[0134] It should be noted that the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 can be switched from the open state to the closed state by moving the first magnetic element 510 away from the second magnetic element 520, so that the first magnetic element 510 and the second magnetic element 520 are separated from each other. Then, the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 can be manually closed, that is, the first cover 200 is rotated in the direction toward the second cover 300, and the second cover 300 is rotated in the direction toward the first cover 200, so that the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 are switched from the open state to the closed state.

[0135] The switching between the open state and the closed state of the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 can also be achieved in other ways. Exemplarily, the drive mechanism 500 further includes a third magnetic element 530, which is disposed within the cover where the second magnetic element 520 is located; the magnetism of the third magnetic element 530 is opposite to that of the first magnetic element 510. In this embodiment, when the second magnetic element 520 is disposed within the first cover 200, the third magnetic element 530 is also disposed within the first cover 200. When the second magnetic element 520 is disposed within the second cover 300, the third magnetic element 530 is also disposed within the second cover 300.

[0136] To facilitate a detailed description of the placement of each component of the drive mechanism 500, let's take an example where the first magnetic element 510 is movably connected to the first cover 200, and the third magnetic element 530 and the second magnetic element 520 are disposed in the second cover 300. For instance, along the length of the headphone case assembly 1000, the second magnetic element 520 and the third magnetic element 530 are spaced apart in the second cover 300. For example, a spacer 550 is provided between the second magnetic element 520 and the third magnetic element 530, and the spacer 550 can adjust the distance between the second magnetic element 520 and the third magnetic element 530. In the closed state, increasing the distance between the first magnetic element 510 and the third magnetic element 530 reduces the repulsive force between them, thereby ensuring that the magnetic attraction force between the first magnetic element 510 and the second magnetic element 520 is sufficiently large, thus improving the stability of the headphone case assembly in the closed state.

[0137] The first magnetic element 510 moves toward the third magnetic element 530, and when the first magnetic element 510 and the third magnetic element 530 are opposite each other, the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 are magnetically attracted and in a closed state. That is, by utilizing the principle of attraction between opposite shapes, the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 are closed, thus switching the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 from an open state to a closed state. Furthermore, in the closed state, the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic element 510 and the third magnetic element 530 ensures a more secure close fit between the first cover 200 and the second cover 300. This embodiment utilizes the principles of attraction between opposite poles and repulsion between like poles to quickly switch the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 between an open state and a closed state, offering advantages such as simple structure and convenient operation.

[0138] In one possible implementation, the driving mechanism 500 further includes a driving member 540, which is connected to the first magnetic member 510 and can drive the first magnetic member 510 to move toward the second magnetic member 520 and / or the third magnetic member 530. This embodiment, by setting the driving member 540 and the first magnetic member 510 as two relatively independent components, allows for the placement of the driving member 540 according to the actual product form, thereby increasing the design flexibility of the headphone case assembly.

[0139] In one possible implementation, referring to Figures 15 and 16, the drive mechanism 500 further includes an operation key 560 connected to the drive element 540. The operation key 560 can be triggered by the user to cause the drive element 540 to drive the first magnetic element 510 to move. By directly using the operation key 560 to precisely control the action of the drive element 540, the movement of the first magnetic element 510 can be precisely controlled, ensuring that the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 can smoothly and accurately switch between the closed state and the open state.

[0140] Alternatively, the driving element 540 includes an elastic element. The operation button 560 and the driving element 540 are respectively connected to the first magnetic element 510 and located on both sides of the first magnetic element 510. The operation button 560 is used to drive the first magnetic element 510 to move in the direction toward the elastic element, so that the first magnetic element 510 squeezes the elastic element. After the earphone is removed or placed into the receiving cavity, the operation button 560 is released, and the elastic restoring force of the elastic element can drive the first magnetic element 510 to move in the direction toward the operation button 560. This setting allows for precise control of the reciprocating motion of the first magnetic element 510 in the second direction.

[0141] It should be understood that the layout of the operation keys 560 can be based on the setting position of the first magnetic component 510 and...

[0142] The structure of the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 is determined by the structure of the second cover 200 and the second end cap 600. In one example, when the first cover 200 and the first end cap 600, as well as the second cover 300 and the second end cap 700 are integral, the operation key 560 can be disposed in the first cover 200 or the second cover 300, and the end of the operation key 560 is exposed so that the user can apply force to the operation key 560.

[0143] In another example, referring to Figures 10 to 12, 15, and 16, when the first end cap 600 and the second end cap 700 are spaced apart on the base 100 along the length of the earphone case assembly 1000, and are separate from the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 respectively, the operation key 560 is located on the first end cap 600 and / or the second end cap 700. When there is one drive mechanism, the operation key 560 can be determined according to the location of the first magnetic element 510 and the elastic element. For example, when the first magnetic element 510 and the elastic element are close to the first end cap 600, the operation key 560 is correspondingly located on the first end cap 600. When there are two drive mechanisms 500, there are also two operation keys 560, located on the first end cap 600 and the second end cap 700 respectively.

[0144] To facilitate the installation of the various components of the drive mechanism 500, this embodiment will describe in detail using the example of the first magnetic component 510 and the operation key 560 being located on the first cover 200. Please continue to refer to Figure 15. The first cover 200 is provided with a first mounting groove 220. The first magnetic component 510 and the elastic drive component 540 are disposed in the first mounting groove 220, and the elastic drive component 540 is connected to the bottom of the first mounting groove 220. The operation key 560 is connected to the end of the first magnetic component 510 that is away from the elastic drive component 540.

[0145] The second cover 300 is provided with a second mounting groove 310 opposite to the first mounting groove 220, and the second magnetic element 520 and the third magnetic element 530 are spaced apart within the second mounting groove 310. In this embodiment, by integrating the driving element 540 and the first magnetic element 510 into the first mounting groove 220, and the second magnetic element 520 and the third magnetic element 530 into the second mounting groove 310, the structure becomes more compact, saving space in the earphone case assembly 1000's receiving cavity, and contributing to the miniaturization of the earphone case assembly 1000.

[0146] In one possible implementation, the inner side of the first cover 200 includes a recessed first receiving cavity 240, and the inner side of the second cover 300 includes a recessed second receiving cavity 330. The first receiving cavity 240 and the second receiving cavity 330 are interconnected to form a receiving cavity. The receiving cavity can better support the earphone 10 and improve the stability of the earphone 10.

[0147] The first cover 200 further includes a first elastic pad 250, which is disposed on the inner side of the first cover 200, and the inner side of the first elastic pad 250 includes a recessed first receiving cavity 240. The second cover 300 further includes a second elastic pad 340, and the inner side of the second elastic pad 340 includes a recessed second receiving cavity 330. This arrangement allows the first elastic pad 250 and the second elastic pad 340 to contact the earphone 10, thereby reducing wear and tear on the earphone 10.

[0148] It should be noted that a connecting post 260 is provided in the area opposite to the first mounting groove 220 of the first cover 200, and the end of the elastic member facing away from the first magnetic member 510 is sleeved on the connecting post 260. In this embodiment, the elastic member being sleeved on the connecting post 260 can prevent the elastic member from shifting in the first mounting groove 220, and can better drive the first magnetic member 510 to move in the direction toward the first end cover 600.

[0149] In one possible implementation, the headphone case assembly further includes a first decorative plate 230 and a second decorative plate 320. The first decorative plate 230 is disposed on the surface of the first cover 200 opposite to the second cover 300; for example, the first decorative plate 230 may be bonded to the first cover 200. The second decorative plate 320 is disposed on the surface of the second cover 300 opposite to the first cover 200; for example, the second decorative plate 320 may be bonded to the second cover 300. This arrangement allows for printing logos or applying different colors to the first and second decorative plates 230, improving the aesthetics of the headphone case assembly.

[0150] Please continue to refer to Figure 10. A light guide post 610 is provided on the first end cover 600 or the second end cover 700. One end of the light guide post is opposite to the light-emitting element located in the accommodating cavity, and the other end is exposed outside the first end cover 600 or the second end cover 700. It is used to guide light to the light-emitting element so that the indicator status of the light-emitting element can be clearly distinguished.

[0151] In addition, a charging port 620 is provided on the first end cover 600 or the second end cover 700 for charging the earphone case assembly, thereby facilitating the charging of the earphones.

[0152] Example 3:

[0153] This application provides an earphone system, including earphones 10 and an earphone case assembly 1000. The earphones 10 are housed within the earphone case assembly 1000, which charges the earphones and provides protection, effectively preventing damage from external environmental factors such as dust, moisture, and physical impacts, thus extending the earphones' lifespan. In this embodiment, the earphones 10 can be wireless earphones, specifically open-back, in-ear, or semi-in-ear earphones.

[0154] Please continue referring to Figures 10 to 16. The headphone case assembly 1000 includes a base 100, a first cover 200, and a second cover 300. One end of the first cover 200 and one end of the second cover 300 are respectively movably connected to the base 100 and are disposed on opposite sides of the base 100 in the thickness direction of the headphone case assembly 1000. The first cover 200 and the second cover 300 have a closed state and an open state. When the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 are in the closed state, the other end of the first cover 200 and the other end of the second cover 300 are connected and form a cavity for accommodating the headphones with the base 100. When the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 are in the open state, the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 open in different directions relative to the base 100 in the thickness direction of the headphone case assembly 1000 for taking out and putting in the headphones 10. With this configuration, when the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 face different directions relative to the base 100, the accommodating cavity can be fully exposed, making it easier for users to take out and put in the earphones 10, thus improving the ease of use and efficiency of the earphone case assembly 1000.

[0155] In one possible implementation, referring to Figures 17 and 18, the earphone 10 includes a main body 11, an extension 12, and a sound-emitting part 13; one end of the main body 11 is connected to the extension 12, and the sound-emitting part 13 is connected to the end of the extension 12 away from the main body 11.

[0156] When worn, the main body 11 extends downward along the back of the ear 20 from the end opposite to the extension 12, and the end of the extension 12 opposite to the main body 11 extends past the top of the auricle 21 of the ear 20 toward the concha 22 of the ear 20. The sound-emitting part 13 is located in the concha 22 of the ear 20. This arrangement allows the sound-emitting part 13 of the earphone 10 to be closer to the ear canal opening of the ear 20, improving the sound quality of the earphone 10.

[0157] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figure 12. When the earphone 10 is placed in the earphone case assembly 1000, the ear hook plane of the earphone is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the earphone; or, the ear hook plane of the earphone can be parallel to the length direction of the earphone case assembly 1000. This arrangement allows the earphone to be placed more compactly within the earphone case assembly 1000, which facilitates the development of the earphone system towards a smaller size.

[0158] It should be noted that the ear hook plane can be determined as follows: Place the earphone horizontally on a plane, with the back of the earphone against the plane. The plane tangent to the back of the earphone can be considered the ear hook plane. It is easy to understand that the plane tangent to the back of the earphone includes the plane tangent to most of the back of the earphone. In some embodiments, the ear hook plane can have a certain angle with the sagittal plane of the human body, such as between 10° and 30°. The projection of the earphone onto the sagittal plane of the human body and onto the ear hook plane can form similar projection shapes. Of course, in some embodiments, the ear hook plane is parallel to the sagittal plane of the human body. The projection of the earphone onto the sagittal plane of the human body and onto the ear hook plane can form the same projection shape. Therefore, the sagittal plane of the human body can also be considered the ear hook plane.

[0159] In another possible implementation, when the earphone 10 is placed in the earphone case assembly 1000, the height of the main body 11 of the earphone 10 is greater than the height of the extension 12 or the sound-emitting part 13 of the earphone 10 relative to the base 100 of the earphone case assembly 1000. This makes the main body 11 of the earphone 10 closer to the top of the earphone case assembly 1000, which facilitates users to take out and put in the earphone 10 more quickly. Furthermore, the sound-emitting part 13 is located at the bottom of the earphone case assembly 1000, making it less likely to be bumped or damaged, thus preventing corrosion and dirt accumulation on the sound-emitting part 13 and extending its service life.
