Wireless Headset Control Box With Detachable Charging Connector
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Bluetooth headsets require an additional data cable for charging, making the charging process inconvenient as users need to carry the cable and cannot charge without it.
Innovation Solution
A wireless headset system with a control box featuring a detachable male and female connector pair, allowing the male connector to be plugged directly into a power source for charging without an additional data cable, and enabling both data transmission and power supply through the connection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a USB female connector is used for charging the Bluetooth headset, then the charging interface is standardized, but the user needs to carry an additional data cable and charging cannot be performed without it
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the charging function and data transmission function into a single integrated control box unit. The control box contains both the USB female connector for charging and the Bluetooth communication module, eliminating the need for separate data cables. When charging, the user only needs to connect the control box to the power source, and the integrated design provides both power supply and data synchronization capabilities through this single unified device.
Solution Approach 2:
The control box is designed with multi-functionality, serving as both a charging device and a data transmission device. The USB female connector accepts various charging cables universally, while the same control box simultaneously handles Bluetooth pairing, audio transmission, and control functions. This universal design allows the headset to be charged and controlled through a single versatile interface rather than requiring separate specialized cables for each function.
2Use of energy by moving object
If a data cable is required for charging, then power can be supplied to the battery, but the user must carry the cable at any time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the charging system by integrating the charging interface (USB female connector) directly into the control box, which is already a portable component attached to or near the headset. This segmentation allows the power supply function to be accessed through the existing control box structure rather than requiring a separate cable connection point, making the charging capability inherently portable and always accessible whenever the control box is present.
Solution Approach 2:
The control box serves itself by incorporating the USB female connector directly into its structure. The control box automatically receives power when connected to a charging source and simultaneously manages battery charging, eliminating the need for the user to manually manage separate charging cables. The system performs the charging function through its own integrated components without requiring external cable management by the user.
3Ease of operation
If the male connector part is detachably connected to the female connector part, then charging can be performed without the data cable, but the connection structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a nested connector structure where the male connector is detachably connected to the female connector, which itself is integrated into the control box. This nested design allows the male connector to be stored within or attached to the control box when not in use, providing a compact solution. The nested structure enables the charging function to be accessed by simply detaching the male connector from the female connector without requiring separate cable management, reducing operational complexity despite the increased structural components.
Data Source
AI summary
A control box includes a female connector part and a male connector part. The plug end is housed in the female connector part when the male connector part is connected to the female connector part. The plug end is configured to plug into a power supply device when the male connector part is detached from the female connector part.
