The invention provides a wireless earphone and an earphone charging box matched with the wireless earphone for use, and the wireless earphone is hereinafter called as a charging box for short.
With the rapid development of earphone technology, wireless earphones, particularly bluetooth earphones, are increasingly widely applied, and the newly-appearing TWS (True Wireless Stereo ) earphone is a product which is more typical in wireless earphones and has a good combination of intelligentization and wireless trend, the TWS earphone has a certain occupancy rate in the earphone market by virtue of wearing free feeling and good sound quality, the wireless earphone is also increasingly frequently used in various occasions, and the single use time is also increasingly longer. In the actual use process, people often establish a communication link between the wireless earphone and the intelligent electronic device, such as a mobile phone, a smart watch and the like, play voice by using the wireless earphone, such as talking or playing a music lamp, collect voice of a user, and output the voice to the intelligent electronic device through a wireless communication module configured in the wireless earphone. TWS earphone is small and convenient, but has stronger battery capacity than traditional string neck type and head type Bluetooth earphone, and Bluetooth transmission between two ears is avoided not becoming a power consumption point. Wireless headsets are often internally self-powered, such as batteries, but are typically limited in their self-powered capacity, and therefore typically require a headset charging device to charge the wireless headset. The earphone charging device is mostly arranged in a charging box shape, and the wireless earphone can be stored in the charging box when not in use so as not to be lost. The charging box can communicate with the earphone, and the functions of forced pairing, box opening and closing action, OTA upgrading and the like of the TWS earphone are realized.
Currently, when a charging device is used to charge a wireless headset, most wireless headsets and charging boxes start to charge after the headset is placed on the charging device. However, in this placement process, there is a problem that the connection between the earphone and the charging box is unstable, or vibration is generated, and these may cause contact failure at the moment of contact. Therefore, the charging and communication of the earphone are controlled by the control box, however, the charging and communication of the traditional earphone usually adopts USB communication or UART communication, and the charging and communication functions of the earphone can be realized only by 4 wires (namely, VCC, D+, D-and GND wires) when the traditional earphone adopts USB communication. The in-ear wireless earphone has very small structural space, so that a USB (universal serial bus) or 4 contact points, namely VCC, TX, RX and GND (GND) are arranged in the in-ear wireless earphone with very small structural space, and the design difficulty of the earphone is increased.
In order to reduce the use of earphone contact points, based on the communication design of the wireless earphone and the charging box, 3pin communication is designed, three pin needles are needed for the 3pin communication, namely a power supply end, a signal end and a grounding end, which are separated, and half-duplex communication is adopted, namely RX signals can not be transmitted when TX signals are transmitted; when the RX transmits a signal, the TX signal cannot transmit. This reduces the timeliness of the signal transmission, which results in delays in communication between the headset and the charging cartridge, and reduces the efficiency of communication between the headset and the charging cartridge.
Referring to fig. 1, in an embodiment of the present invention, the wireless headset 100 includes:
a battery assembly 110;
an earphone control circuit 120;
a power input carrier circuit 130 configured to output the power supply 210 of the charging box 200 to which the second input terminal EI2 is connected to the battery assembly 110 when the earphone is connected to the charging box 200;
the power input carrier circuit 130 is further configured to transmit the earphone communication signal loaded by the first input end EI1 to the charging box 200; and/or, downloading the communication signal of the charging box 200 received by the second input end EI2 to the earphone control circuit 120, so as to realize the communication connection between the earphone control circuit 120 and the charging box 200.
In this embodiment, the wireless earphone 100 may be a wireless earphone 100 such as a bluetooth earphone, a TWS earphone (True Wireless Stereo, a real wireless earphone 100), or an infrared earphone. The battery assembly 110 in the wireless headset 100 is used to power an electrical load in the headset, which may be a speaker, microphone, indicator light, micro-motor, etc. The battery assembly 110 includes a battery for storing electric power, and a power conversion chip for converting the power supply 210 outputted from the charging cartridge 200 into the battery storing electric power. The input end of the power conversion chip is connected with the electric connector, and the output end of the power conversion chip is connected with the battery. The range of the stored electric energy of the battery can be set to 3.5-4.3V, and the battery can be realized by adopting rechargeable batteries such as dry batteries, lithium ion storage batteries or nickel-hydrogen batteries.
The earphone control circuit 120 may implement communication control and charging control of the wireless earphone 100, and implement communication connection with the charging box 200 through the power input carrier circuit 130.
The power input carrier circuit 130 has a power output end VDD1, a first input end EI1, a first output end EO1, a second input end EI2, and a second output end EO2, wherein the power output end VDD1 is connected to the battery assembly 110, and the first output end EO1 and the first input end EI1 are respectively connected to the earphone control circuit 120; the second input terminal EI2 and the second output terminal EO2 are electrically connected to the charging box 200.
In some embodiments, the electrical connector is optionally implemented by a pogo pin connector, and the electrical connector is provided with a conductive terminal connected to the second input end EI2, the second output end EO2, and the ground end of the power input carrier circuit 130, and the conductive terminal of the electrical connector is connected to the power end and the communication end of the charging box 200, so as to access the power supply 210 output by the charging box 200 for charging, and simultaneously implement a communication connection with the charging box 200. It can be understood that when the earphone is placed in the charging box 200, the battery assembly 110 of the wireless earphone 100 stores different amounts of electricity, in this embodiment, after information interaction such as the amount of electricity and the working state can be implemented between the wireless earphone 100 and the charging box 200, the charging box 200 supplies power to the wireless earphone 100, that is, the charging box 200 performs handshake communication with the wireless earphone 100, and after waiting for handshake, it can be determined that the earphone is in good contact with the charging box 200 at this time, and at this time, the charging box 200 can be triggered to charge the battery assembly 110 of the wireless earphone 100. The invention realizes the communication connection between the wireless earphone 100 and the charging box 200 when the charging box 200 charges the wireless earphone 100. It is also possible that the charging box 200 starts charging the wireless headset 100 once the headset is put into the charging box 200. The charging box 200 and the earphone can be compatible with each other in the above-mentioned priority selection scheme of charging and communication, that is, charging and communication can be simultaneously realized, so that the problem that charging and communication can only be selected and communication can not be realized while charging can be solved.
The connector can be arranged at the tail part of the earphone shell, and the electric connector can also be realized by adopting a metal probe, a metal spring plate and the like and is positioned at the tail part of the earphone shell in practical application. The second input end EI2 of the power input carrier circuit 130 may receive the power supply 210 output by the charging box 200, or may receive the communication signal sent by the charging box 200, and the second output end EO2 may send the communication signal of the earphone side. By the arrangement, the earphone and the charging box 200 can send and receive communication signals to the opposite side at the same time under the condition of charging, so that the transmission speed of the communication signals is improved, and the communication efficiency of the earphone and the charging box is improved.
It will be appreciated that the power supply 210 provided by the charging box 200 to the wireless headset 100 is dc power, and the signal for communication between the charging box 200 and the wireless headset 100 is typically an alternating signal, i.e. ac power. In this embodiment, the earphone control circuit 120 is coupled to the power input carrier circuit 130, and the communication signal of the earphone control circuit 120 can be carried to the dc signal of the power supply 210, so that the transmission of the communication signal is realized through the power line of the wireless earphone 100, and the earphone control circuit 120 can also receive the communication signal of the charging box 200 sent by the charging box 200 through coupled connection to the power input carrier circuit 130, and meanwhile avoid the output of the power voltage signal to the earphone control circuit 120.
The wireless earphone 100 of the invention is provided with the battery assembly 110, the earphone control circuit 120 and the power input carrier circuit 130, and when the wireless earphone 100 is placed in the charging box 200, the charging box 200 connected with the second input end EI2 is supplied with power 210 by the power input carrier circuit 130 and is output to the battery assembly 110; transmitting the earphone communication signal loaded by the first input terminal EI1 to the charging box 200; and/or, downloading the communication signal of the charging box 200 received by the second input end EI2 to the earphone control circuit 120, so as to realize the communication connection between the earphone control circuit 120 and the charging box 200. The invention realizes the communication connection between the wireless earphone 100 and the charging box 200 when the charging box 200 charges the wireless earphone 100. The invention can transmit the TX and RX control signals at the same time when transmitting the voltage, and the TX signal or RX signal is carried to the direct current power supply, thereby realizing full duplex, improving the communication efficiency, reducing the time delay, ensuring the timeliness of signal transmission and having simple circuit design.

In this embodiment, since the power supply 210 output by the charging box 200 is usually dc voltage, and the communication signal is ac voltage, and the transformer coil plays a role of passing dc and blocking ac, the power supply 210 is already led out at the left side (the first secondary winding and the second secondary winding) of the earphone end, and does not pass through the right side (the first primary winding and the second primary winding) of the earphone transformer 132, and therefore, the bias circuit 131 is used to provide dc bias for the ac communication signal, so as to implement loading/downloading of the communication signal, so that the earphone control circuit 120 can load the communication signal into the transformer, or download the communication signal of the charging box 200 output by the charging box 200 from the transformer. The transformer is used for coupling in/out communication signals and the power supply 210 of the charging box 200. It can be understood that the input/output of the communication signal is realized through the transformer, and the problem of mismatching of the voltage of the communication signal between the charging box 200 and the wireless earphone 100 can be solved, so that the voltage adaptation of the communication signal between the charging box 200 and the wireless earphone 100 is realized.
