Headset Kit with Through-Hole Upper Cover for Earphone Visibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing Bluetooth wireless earphone box bodies lack visibility into the earphones' state, such as charging status and presence, and have a bulky design due to a space layer, increasing cost.
Innovation Solution
A headset kit with a charging base and an upper cover featuring supporting grooves and through holes allows for visual observation of the earphones and eliminates the need for a space layer, reducing thickness and cost.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If earphones are hidden in the box body, then the box body structure is complete, but the states of the earphones cannot be visually known
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the earphones from the hidden interior space and positions them in through-holes that extend through the upper cover. This allows the earphones to be visible from the outside while still being supported and charged within the box body structure, resolving the contradiction between visibility and structural completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The earphones are nested within the through-holes of the upper cover, which themselves are embedded in the box body structure. This nested arrangement allows the earphones to be both visible through the through-holes and properly integrated into the charging structure, achieving visibility without compromising structural integrity.
2Length of moving object
If a space layer is added to the box body, then the earphones can be hidden, but the thickness of the box body becomes large and cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the space layer from the box body structure and replaces it with through-holes in the upper cover. This extraction of the unnecessary space layer directly reduces the box body thickness and manufacturing cost while maintaining the functional ability to hide and display earphones.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the support function and the visibility function into the upper cover structure itself through the through-holes, eliminating the need for a separate space layer. This consolidation reduces both the thickness and cost of the box body while achieving the desired earphone display functionality.

AI summary
A headset kit includes at least one Bluetooth earphone, a charging base used for charging each Bluetooth earphone, and an upper cover connected with the charging base. Supporting grooves used for supporting a first side of the each Bluetooth earphone are formed in the charging base, and through holes used for a second side of the each Bluetooth earphone to extend into are formed in the upper cover.
