CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

The present application is based on, and claims priority from, China Patent Application No. 202322731857.8, filed Oct. 12, 2023, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention

The present invention generally relates to a headphone, and more particularly to a headphone increasing a using lifespan.


Description of Related Art

A current headphone includes two earphone units, and a headband connected between the two earphone units. An inside of each earphone unit is equipped with a circuit board. A surface of each earphone unit has a push button. The push button contacts with a switch arranged on the circuit board. When the push button is pressed down, the push button triggers the switch to make the current headphone perform a corresponding action. When the push button is released, the push button returns to its original position by an elastic force of the switch.


However, in a using process of the headphone, the push button needs pressing several times to perform actions, such as a volume adjustment action, a fast forward action, a song selection action, a power-on action, a power-off action, etc. After the push button contacts with the switch repeatedly, a failure of the switch may be caused. As a result, a lifespan of headphone is shortened.


Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned shortcomings, it is necessary to provide a headphone increasing a using lifespan.

The first ramp 227 and the second ramp 228 are buckled in the first notch 15 and the second notch 16, respectively. The first reinforcing portion 225 is restricted into the first recess 151. The first ramp 227 is buckled in the second recess 152. The two stopping portions 153 are blocked in the two curving portions 229. The two second reinforcing portions 226 are located between the two second retaining walls 14. The supporting base 222 resists against the two reinforcing ribs 12, and the supporting base 222 is located between the two first retaining walls 13, and the two hooks 224 hook the two outer surfaces of the two first retaining walls 13. The section of the outer corresponding structure of the button module 2 is the first ramp 227. The other section of the outer corresponding structure of the button module 2 is the second ramp 228.


Next, assemble the two push buttons 21 in the outer portion of the accommodating space 10 of the outer housing 1, and the two button caps 212 pass through an upper portion and a lower portion of the button hole 11, respectively. The light guiding unit 22 is assembled in the button hole 11, so when the two button caps 212 pass through the button hole 11, the two button caps 212 are guided by the light guiding unit 22, and the two button caps 212 are oriented by the light guiding unit 22, and the two retaining portions 215 of the two push buttons 21 abut against an upper portion and a lower portion of the protruding platform 108. Two facing surfaces of the two base boards 213 of the two push buttons 21 abut against an upper surface and a lower surface of the guiding body 221. Two outer surfaces of the two base boards 213 of the two push buttons 21 abut against the inner periphery surface 104 of the outer housing 1.


Later, assemble the circuit board 3 in the outer portion of the accommodating space 10 of the outer housing 1, insert the guiding body 221 of the light guiding unit 22 into the opening slot 32, and make the circuit board 3 abut against the supporting base 222 of the light guiding unit 22, the two first retaining walls 13, the two second retaining walls 14, the two retaining portions 215 of the two push buttons 21 and an inner end of the connecting portion 2201. The two switches 31 of the circuit board 3 resist against the two pressing portions 216 of the two push buttons 21 to fasten the two push buttons 21 and the light guiding unit 22 to the circuit board 3. Then, assemble the cavity holder 5 into the outer portion of the accommodating space 10 of the outer housing 1, the cavity holder 5 is located at an inner side of the circuit board 3. At last, assemble the inner housing 6 with the outer housing 1, so that the inner housing 6 and the outer housing 1 surround the accommodating space 10, and the accommodating space 10 is sealed between the inner housing 6 and the outer housing 1, the limiting portion 61 is mounted around the first reinforcing portion 225 to guide the inner housing 6 and position the inner housing 6 and the light guiding unit 22.


As described above, the headphone 100 guides the two push buttons 21 to the button hole 11 by the light guiding unit 22, and the headphone 100 positions the two push buttons 21 to the button hole 11 by the light guiding unit 22. Furthermore, the two retaining portions 215 of the two push buttons 21 are clamped between the protruding platform 108 and the circuit board 3, so that the two push buttons 21 move stably under repeatedly pressing the two push buttons 21, so an abrasion of the circuit board 3 caused by the two push buttons 21 is reduced. As a result, the headphone 100 increases a using lifespan.
