As shown in
Here, the sliding of the upper housing 2 on the lower housing 3 includes an opening movement and a closing movement in an opposite direction. By the opening movement of the upper housing 2, the top opening 33 is opened and the earphone slot 41 is exposed. As shown in
As shown in
In this embodiment, during the opening movement of the upper housing 2, the lower inner housing 4 is also driven to rotate an angle synchronously, at least part structure of the lower inner housing 4 protrudes upward out of the lower housing 3, and the earphone in the earphone slot 41 protrudes upward out of the lower housing 3 a certain distance accordingly, which can facilitate the taking out of the earphone. In addition, the charging box can be specifically applied as a TWS charging box.
Further, as shown in
Further, as shown in
Specifically, as shown in
In addition, during the opening movement of the upper housing 2, a part of a starting end (a right end as shown in
The sliding direction of the upper housing 2 is set as a straight line movement, so as to determine the position and the size to open the top opening 33 of the lower housing 3 during the opening of the upper housing 2, and so as to plan a path of the lower inner housing 4. At the same time, in the process of the opening, a part of the left end of the lower inner housing 4 directly below the upper housing 2 may be continuously lowered, which can reduce the risk of impact between the lower inner housing 4 and the upper housing 2.
Further, as shown in
Here, the control slide 43 is disposed on an outer surface of the lower inner housing 4, to avoid occupying the inner space of the lower inner housing 4. In particular, the control slide 43 is disposed on a side surface of the part extending in the opening movement direction A of the upper housing in the outer surface of the lower inner housing 4. Preferably, the side surface of the part is a plane perpendicular to the rotatory central line O, so as to be machined. Of course, in other embodiments, the side surface of the part may also have other shapes, such as a curved surface. In addition, two control slides 43 are disposed opposite to each other on the lower inner housing 4. Of course, in other embodiments, the control slide 43 may also be disposed inside of the lower inner housing 4.
Here, as shown in
Here, within a preset stroke of the opening movement of the upper housing 2, the lower inner housing 4 rotates a preset angle, for example, 20°, synchronously. Here, the preset stroke may be equal to or less than a total stroke of the opening movement of the upper housing 2. When the upper housing 2 is within the preset stroke, the pressure of the slide block 231 on the connecting rod 23 to the control slide 43 always has a torque with respect to the rotatory central line O, such that the lower inner housing 4 rotates continuously, while the slide block 231 of the connecting rod 23 slides on the control slide 43, such that the upper housing 2 can slide normally.
Here, as shown in
In this embodiment, the sliding fit of the slide block 231 and the slide is adopted to realize rotation control to the lower inner housing 4 to facilitate machining.
Further, as shown in
Specifically, in the direction as shown in
Further, as shown in
Of course, in other embodiments, the transmission structure may also be configured as a gear assembly, and correspondingly, the rotatory central line O of the lower inner housing 4 parallel to the sliding direction of the upper housing 2 may be realized according to directions of an input shaft and an output shaft of the gear assembly. In addition, the upper housing 2 may perform a curved movement on the lower housing 3. In addition, when the transmission structure is provided as a connecting rod structure, the connecting rod structure may include a connecting rod mechanism consist of two rotatably connected rod bodies, wherein two free ends of the connecting rod mechanism are rotatably connected to the lower inner housing 4 and the upper housing 2 respectively, and the pulling of the upper inner housing 22 may be achieved by change in positions of the rod bodies in the connecting rod mechanism when the upper housing 2 slides.

Preferably, the cover plate 5 is an L-shaped plate including a vertical plate 51 and a top plate 52 fixed at a top end of the vertical plate 51. The vertical plate 51 includes a curved surface, and the lower inner housing 4 can move by attaching the curved surface during a process that the lower inner housing 4 rotates to protrude out of the top opening 33 of the lower housing 3, so as to improve stability of the rotation of the lower inner housing 4. In addition, the projecting bracket 6 is fixed on the top plate 52.
Specifically, the upper housing 2 includes an upper inner housing 22 and an upper cover 21 fixed and covered on the upper inner housing 22, and the upper housing slide 24 penetrates the upper inner housing 22 for easy machining.
Specifically, the projecting bracket 6 is engaged with the upper housing 2, to limit the upper housing 2 in the up and down direction, so as to prevent the upper housing 2 from escaping from the lower housing 3 in the up and down direction.
In this embodiment, the projecting bracket 6 is extended into the upper housing slide 24, and when the upper housing 2 slides, the upper housing slide 24 slides relative to the projecting bracket 6, which can limit the sliding direction of the upper housing 2 and improve the sliding stability of the upper housing 2.
The working principle of the charging box in this embodiment is: starting from the closed state, the upper housing 2 slides in the opening movement direction A, and drive the slide block 231 of the connecting rod 23 to slide in the initial slide 42, and then the slide block 231 enters into the control slide 43 and drives the lower inner housing 4 to rotate, and when the upper cover 21 slides to open to a certain distance, the lower inner housing 4 may be lifted at a certain angle, and a part structure of the lower inner housing 4 protrudes upward out of the top opening 33 of the lower housing 3, so as to facilitate the taking out of the earphone; further, the upper housing 2 is pushed in a reverse direction, the lower inner housing 4 rotates back into the inner of the lower housing 3, and the charging box retracts to the closed state.
Of course, in other embodiments, the control slide 43 may also be provided in other manners. As shown in
