Description

Headset apparatus having mute function}

The present invention relates to a headset device with a mute function, and more specifically, to a headset device with a mute function equipped with a microphone.

Headphones are a type of audio device with speakers installed inside the earcups. Headphones are often used as a means of preventing the spread of sound through space and delivering sound directly to the user's ears.

A headset with a microphone attached to the headphone also has a speaking function. Therefore, headsets are used as often as headphones. It is often used because it has the advantage of being more convenient than a telephone, especially when talking to a person far away for a long time.

For example, the use of a headset is almost essential for telephone counselors who make repeated calls to an unspecified number of people. There are various types of headsets, but the most common type is to have a microphone mounted on the end of a boom pole and place the microphone near the user's mouth (e.g., Republic of Korea Patent 10-0413387, etc.).

Users who frequently use these headsets are known to frequently experience the following problems: For example, with most headsets, it is difficult to intuitively recognize the on/off status of the microphone, so if you are a little careless, you may mistake the microphone for being turned off.

Therefore, for users who always use headsets, the probability of unwanted personal information being leaked increases, and the other party connected to the user also has a greater chance of being exposed to unnecessary noise. Because alternatives to these problems have not yet been provided, technical improvements were needed.

The section-type connection terminal includes a second central terminal disposed in contact with the first central terminal, and an arc spaced apart from the second central terminal by the rotation radius and forming a fan shape with the rotation radius and the central angle being less than 360 degrees. It is made up of a shape and may include an arc-shaped connection terminal that forms the connection section in a section corresponding to the arc.

The rotary terminals are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the boom, so that the rotational position of the boom can be synchronized with the rotational position of the rotary terminal.

The first central terminal and the rotary terminal are each formed as a pin-type terminal elastically supported by a spring, and the second central terminal and the arc-shaped connection terminal are printed on one side of a single substrate in a dot-shaped and arc-shaped pattern, respectively. It can be.

The arc-shaped connection terminal may have a semicircular pattern.

The board is rotatably coupled to the inside of the ear cup about the second central terminal, so that the orientation of the section-type connection terminal can change as the board rotates.

However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below and may be implemented in various different forms, and the present embodiments are only provided to ensure that the disclosure of the present invention is complete and to provide common knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention pertains. It is provided to fully inform those who have the scope of the invention, and the invention is merely defined by the claims. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the specification.

Hereinafter, a headset device with a mute function according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 9.

Referring to FIG. 1, the headset device 1 (hereinafter referred to as headset device) with a mute function according to the present invention has a boom 200 rotatably coupled to an ear cup 100. The microphone module 300 is disposed at the end of the boom pole 200, spaced apart from the rotation center of the boom pole 200.

Referring to FIG. 2, a first central terminal 11 and a rotating terminal 12 are disposed on the boom stand 200, and a section-type connection terminal 13 is disposed on the ear cup 100. The first central terminal 11 is located at the rotation center C of the boom 200, but the rotation terminal 12 is separated from the rotation center and changes its position by rotation of the boom 200 (see FIG. 6).

As a result, the pair of the first center terminal 11 and the rotating terminal 12 arranged on the boom stand 200 are connected to the section type connection terminal 13 arranged on the ear cup 100 only in a certain section. The microphone module 300 is turned on only in the connection section (see A in Figure 6), but since the rotation of the terminal is linked to the rotation of the boom stand 200, the user can turn on the microphone module 300 just by looking at the rotation state of the boom stand 200. You can check whether it is working or not.

Additionally, by rotating the boom 200, the position of the terminal can be changed in the connection section, so the microphone module 300 can be turned on or off simply by intuitively rotating the boom 200.

The headset device 1 of the present invention is configured as follows. The headset device 1 is a headset device 1 in which a rotating boom 200 is coupled to one side of the ear cup 100, and the first center terminal (11 in FIG. 2) is fixed to the rotation center of the boom 200. reference), a rotating terminal spaced apart from the first central terminal 11 by the rotating radius and fixed to the boom 200 (see 12 in FIG. 2), a boom connected to the first central terminal 11 and the rotating terminal 12 (200) A microphone module disposed at the end (see 300 in FIG. 1), and a rotation of the rotation terminal 12, which is disposed on the ear cup 100 and connected to the power source of the headset device 1, and defined by the rotation radius. It is provided with a connection section (see A, A1 to A3 in FIGS. 5 and 6) that only partially overlaps the range, and is energized with both the first central terminal 11 and the rotating terminal 12 only within the connection section, so that the power supply Including a section-type connection terminal 13 that provides power to the microphone module 300, when the rotating terminal 12 is within the connection section according to the rotation of the boom stand 200, the microphone module 300 is turned on, and the rotating terminal When (12) leaves the connection section, the microphone module 300 is turned off.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the section-type connection terminal 13 has a second central terminal (see 13a in FIG. 2) disposed in contact with the first central terminal 11, and rotates at the second central terminal 13a. The arc shape is spaced apart by the rotation radius of the terminal 12 (see R in FIG. 5) and has a circular arc shape with a rotation radius and a central angle smaller than 360 degrees, forming a connection section with a section corresponding to the arc. It includes a connection terminal (see 13b in FIG. 2). In addition, the rotation terminal 12 is spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the boom 200, so that the rotational position of the boom 200 and the rotational position of the rotation terminal 12 can be synchronized (see FIG. 6).

Hereinafter, the configuration and effects of the present invention will be described in more detail based on an embodiment of the present invention.

First, referring to Figure 1, the overall structure of the headset device 1 will be briefly described as follows. The headset device 1 includes an ear cup 100, a boom 200 equipped with a microphone module 300, and a headband 400. A speaker (see 121 in FIG. 2) is built into the ear cup 100, and the headband 400 is formed to be flexible to correspond to the circumference of the user's head. A support clip 410 is disposed on one side of the headband 400 to secure the headset device 1 to the user's head.

However, the headset device 1 need not be limited to the shape shown, and may be modified into other shapes as needed. For example, another ear cup (which may have a built-in speaker) may be additionally mounted at the position where the support clip 410 is formed.

The ear cup 100 may be a type of housing with a space inside. An appropriate accommodation space is formed inside the ear cup 100 to accommodate a speaker or a board. An ear pad 122 (for example, the inner cushioning material may be wrapped with fabric or leather, etc.) is disposed at the area where the ear cup 100 is in close contact with the human skin, as shown in FIG. 1 .

In this embodiment, the ear cup 100 is composed of two parts: a first body 110 and a second body 120. The first body 110 and the second body 120 may be detachable.

The boom stand 200 is rotatably coupled to one side of the ear cup 100. For example, the boom 200 may be coupled to the first body 110 of the ear cup 100.

The boom bar 200 is formed in the shape of a long bar overall, and a circular rotating plate 210 is formed at one end coupled to the ear cup 100. The microphone module 300 may be disposed at the other end of the boom pole 200 as shown in FIG. 1 .

The headset device 1 can be operated by a built-in power source or an external power source. The power source (not shown) of the headset device 1 may be at least one of a built-in power source built into the ear cup 100 and an external power source that supplies power to the ear cup 100 from the outside of the ear cup 100. . The microphone module 300 and the speaker are operated by power provided from the power source of the headset device 1.

In this embodiment, an example in which the headset device 1 uses an external power source (not shown) connected by the power line 113 will be described. However, in another embodiment, the headset device 1 may use an internal power source (not shown). In such a case, for example, it is possible to configure the internal power source with a removable or rechargeable battery mounted inside the ear cup 100.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the coupling structure of the headset device 1 will be described in more detail.

The boom stand 200 is rotatably coupled to the ear cup 100 through the rotating plate 210. The rotating plate 210 may be coupled to the first body 110 of the ear cup 100. Accordingly, a rotary coupling structure is formed between the rotating plate 210 and the first body 110.

For example, the rotatable coupling structure may be formed by combining a rotatable ring structure within a circle. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, a circularly open coupler 112 is formed in a portion of the first body 110 in contact with the rotating plate 210, and as shown in FIG. 3, the coupler 112 of the rotating plate 210 is formed. ) and a coupling ring 212 protruding toward the first body 110 can be formed at a position corresponding to the two.

Although not shown in detail, a structure such as a protrusion or groove may be additionally formed between the coupling ring 212 and the coupling hole 112 to prevent the coupling ring 212 from falling out after coupling. Due to this structure, the boom 200 is rotatably coupled to one side of the ear cup 100.

Referring to FIG. 2, the first central terminal 11, the rotating terminal 12, and the section type connection terminal 13 are at least partially in contact with each other at the coupling portion where the boom bar 200 and the ear cup 100 are coupled. It is arranged so that As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the first central terminal 11 and the rotating terminal 12 are disposed on the rotating substrate 211 fixed inside the coupling ring 212, and as shown in Figure 2, The section-type connection terminal 13 can be placed on the substrate 111 in the first body 110 that is partially exposed through the coupler 112.

The first central terminal 11 and the rotary terminal 12 may be formed as pin-type terminals elastically supported by springs 11a and 12a, respectively (see enlarged view). For example, each terminal can be elastically supported by combining springs 11a and 12a in the fixing block 11b. Accordingly, the contact between the first central terminal 11 and the rotating terminal 12 and the section type connection terminal 13 can be made smoother.

As shown in the enlarged view, the springs 11a and 12a are formed of a conductive material to allow the first central terminal 11 and the rotating terminal 12 to conduct electricity with the terminal wire 14a formed on the rotating substrate 211. . In other words, the spring structure does not affect the electrical connection status of the terminal. If necessary, a connection line (not shown) connecting the terminal wire and each terminal may be formed between the springs.

The section type connection terminal 13 consists of two parts. The section type connection terminal 13 may be substantially a geometric combination of two terminals. The section-type connection terminal 13 may include a second central terminal 13a and an arc-shaped connection terminal 13b. The second central terminal 13a and the arc-shaped connection terminal 13b may be printed on one side of a single substrate (the substrate 111 inside the first body 110 described above) in a dot-shaped and arc-shaped pattern, respectively. You can.

As shown in FIG. 2, the arc-shaped connection terminal 13b may have a semicircular pattern. However, there is no need to be limited thereto, and it can be transformed into various arc shapes as will be described later.

The first central terminal 11, the rotary terminal 12, and the section type connection terminal 13 are positioned at corresponding positions using the rotary plate 210 of the boom stand 200 and the internal space of the first body 110. It can be placed in . The rotating plate 210 has a structure enlarged from the rotation center C of the boom 200 to be wider than the rotating radius of the rotating terminal 12 (see R in FIG. 5) and may have the shape of, for example, a flat disk or disk. there is. The first central terminal 11 and the rotating terminal 12 are fixed to the inside (inside from the outer edge) of the rotating plate 210.

The first body 110 has a rotary plate 210 rotatably coupled to one side, and section-type connection terminals (i.e., second center terminal 13a and arc-shaped connection terminal 13b) are printed on one side inside. The substrate 111 is accommodated to face the rotating plate 210. As illustrated in FIG. 2 , the section-type connection terminal 13 printed on one side of the substrate 111 may be exposed to the rotating plate 210 through the above-described coupler 112.

Therefore, when the boom 200 is coupled to the ear cup 100 (specifically, the coupling between the rotating plate of the boom and the first body of the ear cup), the terminals (first center terminal, rotating terminal, and section type connection terminal) located at the coupling portion are At least partially touched. As shown in Figure 2, the first central terminal 11 and the second central terminal 13a are maintained in contact with each other at the rotation center C of the boom 200, but are separated from the rotation center C. The rotary terminal 12 and the arc-shaped connection terminal 13b may or may not be in contact depending on the rotation position of the rotary terminal 12.

Therefore, in practice, electricity is passed between the pair of the first central terminal 11 and the rotary terminal 12 and the section-type connection terminal 13 through the entire section-type connection terminal 13 (i.e., the second center terminal 13a and the arc-shaped connection). It occurs only in the section where the terminal (13b)] is in contact with both the first center terminal (11) and the rotary terminal (12). Using this terminal structure, power can be provided to the microphone module 300 or power supply can be limited.

Referring to FIG. 2, the first central terminal 11 and the rotating terminal 12 are connected to the terminal line 14a formed on the rotating substrate 211, the rotating substrate 211, and the microphone module (see 300 in FIG. 1). It is connected to the microphone module 300 through the connecting wire (16a). On the other hand, the section type connection terminal 13 is connected to the power source through another terminal line 14b formed on the board 111 and another wire 16b connecting the board 111 and the power line 113. .

That is, since the pair of the first central terminal 11 and the rotating terminal 12 are connected to the microphone module 300, and the section type connection terminal 13 is connected to the power supply, the first central terminal 11 and the rotating terminal 12 are connected to the microphone module 300. (12) and the section type connection terminal 13 are located between the power source and the microphone module 300 and function as a kind of switching device that opens and closes the circuit (power circuit) between the power source and the microphone module 300.

For example, the first center terminal 11 and the rotating terminal 12 may each be connected to the positive electrode (or ground and power) formed on the power terminal of the microphone module 300, and the first center terminal 11 and the rotating terminal 12 may be respectively connected to the positive pole (or ground and power) formed on the power terminal of the microphone module 300. The two center terminals 13a and the arc-shaped connection terminal 13b can be respectively connected to the positive pole (or ground and power terminal) of the power supply of the headset device 1 described above. Therefore, power can be provided to the microphone module 300 only in the section where the first central terminal 11, the second central terminal 13a, the rotating terminal 12, and the arc-shaped connection terminal 13b are all energized.

Hereinafter, the specific arrangement and operation of the terminals will be described in more detail with reference to Figures 2 and 4 to 6.

FIG. 4 is a layout diagram showing the first central terminal, rotary terminal, and section-type connection terminal overlapping, and FIG. 5 is a detailed structure of the first center terminal, rotary terminal, and section-type connection terminal of FIG. 4 and the section-type connection terminal. This is a drawing showing a modified example, and FIG. 6 is an operational diagram showing changes in the arrangement of the first central terminal, the rotating terminal, and the section type connection terminal due to the rotation of the boom.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the first central terminal 11, the rotary terminal 12, and the sectional connection terminal 13 are shown overlapping each other, the arrangement of the terminals appears more clearly. Figure 4 shows the first central terminal 11 and the rotation terminal 12 formed on the boom stand 200 and the section type connection terminal 13 formed on the ear cup (see 100 in Figure 3) at the rotation center of Figure 2 (Figure 2). It is shown overlapping in the direction (see C in 2).

Referring to FIG. 2 for a moment, both the first central terminal 11 and the rotating terminal 12 are fixed to the boom stand 200. The first central terminal 11 is fixed to the rotation center (C) of the boom 200, and the rotating terminal 12 is spaced apart from the first central terminal 11 by a rotation radius (see R in Figure 5) to form a boom ( 200). Since the rotation terminal 12 is spaced apart from the rotation center C, when the boom 200 rotates, the rotation terminal 12 also rotates.

For example, the rotary terminal 12 can rotate as shown in FIG. 6. However, since Figure 6 is an example, the rotation range (meaning the maximum rotation range) of the rotation terminal 12 may be larger. Since the rotation angle of the rotary terminal 12 matches the rotation angle of the boom 200, when the boom 200 rotates 360 degrees, the rotary terminal 12 also rotates 360 degrees.

Therefore, the rotation range of the rotary terminal 12 may be substantially a circle defined by the rotation radius. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the turning radius (R) between the first center terminal 11 and the rotating terminal 12 can be measured, and the rotating terminal is measured on a circle defined by the rotating radius (R). (12) can rotate freely.

Since the thickness of the terminals may vary as needed, the radius of rotation (R), the length of the arc described later, and the corresponding connection sections (A1 to A3) are all shown with respect to the center of the terminal, which is not affected by the thickness of the terminals. It has been done. That is, the rotation radius (R) can be measured as the distance between the center of the first center terminal 11 (coincident with the rotation center of the boom) and the center of the rotation terminal 12.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 2, the section-type connection terminal 13 is disposed on the ear cup 100. The section-type connection terminal 13 is substantially fixed to the ear cup 100 and has a connection section that only partially overlaps the rotation range of the rotary terminal 12. Therefore, as described above, the section-type connection terminal 13 is energized with both the first center terminal 11 and the rotating terminal 12 only within the connection section, and the microphone is connected only when the rotating terminal 12 is located within the connection section. Power is provided to the module (see 300 in FIG. 1).

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 4 together, the section-type connection terminal 13 has a second central terminal 13a disposed in contact with the first central terminal 11, and a circle spaced apart from the second central terminal 13a. It includes an arc-shaped connection terminal (13b). The arc-shaped connection terminal 13b is spaced apart from the second central terminal 13a by the rotation radius of the rotary terminal 12 (see R in FIG. 5), and has a circular arc forming a fan shape with a rotation radius and a central angle smaller than 360 degrees. It is made up of shapes. Because of this, the connection section is substantially formed as a section corresponding to the arc formed by the arc-shaped connection terminal 13b.

The connection section will be described in more detail with reference to Figure 5. In Figure 5 (a), the spacing between the first central terminal 11 and the rotary terminal 12, the second central terminal 13a and the arc-shaped connection terminal 13b is compared. The spacing took into account the spacing between the centers of the terminals as described above. As shown, the spacing between the rotary terminal 12 and the first central terminal 11 is the same as the spacing between the second central terminal 13a and the arc-shaped connection terminal 13b, and this spacing is the same as the spacing between the rotary terminal 12 and the first central terminal 11. It is the same as the turning radius (R).

Since the rotation range of the rotary terminal 12 corresponds to a circle defined by the rotation radius R, the arc formed by the arc-shaped connection terminal 13b corresponds to a part of the circle. Therefore, as shown in (a) of FIG. 5, the arc-shaped connection terminal 13b forms a connection section A1 (a section corresponding to the arc) that only partially overlaps the rotation range of the rotary terminal 12.

The first central terminal (11) and the second central terminal (13a) are maintained in contact, but the rotating terminal (12) is in contact only with the arc-shaped connection terminal (13b) and the connection section (A1), so the first central terminal (13a) is maintained in contact. The section in which the entire section (11), the rotary terminal 12, and the section type connection terminal 13 are energized is limited to the connection section A1. Therefore, the section in which the power source of the headset device can provide power to the microphone module 300 is also limited to the connection section A1. Therefore, the microphone module 300 is turned on only when the rotating terminal 12 is within the connection section A1, and when the rotating terminal 12 leaves the connection section A1, the microphone module 300 is turned off.

Referring to Figures 5 (a), (b), and (c), the arc formed by the arc-shaped connection terminal 13b (substantially the same as the connection sections A1, A2, and A3) has a radius of rotation (R). ) and the central angles (θ1, θ2, θ3) form a fan shape that is less than 360 degrees. As shown, the length of the arc is not limited and can be changed in various ways, so the sizes of the connection sections (A1, A2, A3) can also be changed in various ways. In other words, by adjusting the size of the arc-shaped connection terminal 13b, the size of the connection section can be increased or decreased as needed (the drawing is an example, so the size of the section can be changed in more diverse ways).

By this terminal structure, for example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 6, power can be supplied to the microphone module 300 by overlapping the rotary terminal 12 in the connection section A (microphone module ON state). In addition, as shown in (b) of FIG. 6, the power to the microphone module 300 can be cut off by moving the rotary terminal 12 out of the connection section A (microphone module OFF state).

Since the connection section (A) does not move substantially, as shown in FIG. 6, a corresponding connection section (A') corresponding to the connection section (A) (same as the central angle of the connection section (A) and having the same rotation center) It can be easily recognized as an arc or fan shape with only the radius of rotation increased. The corresponding connection section (A') can be recorded during product manufacturing and notified to the user, or even if it is not marked, the user can intuitively recognize it through repeated use. Alternatively, the corresponding connection section (A') may be marked on the ear cup 100, etc.

Since the rotation of the rotary terminal 12 is linked to the rotation of the boom stand 200, the operating state of the microphone module 300 can be recognized very intuitively by looking at the positions of the boom stand 200 and the corresponding connection section (A'). there is. In addition, the rotary terminal 12 is spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the boom 200 and can completely synchronize the rotational position of the boom 200 and the rotational position of the rotary terminal 12, so that the boom 200 is substantially The direction of can be pointed in the direction of the rotary terminal 12.

Therefore, the user can equally determine the positions of the connection section (A) and the rotary terminal 12 from the positions of the corresponding connection section (A') and the boom stand 200. Therefore, for example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 6, if the boom unit 200 is in the corresponding connection section (A'), the microphone module 300 is recognized as turned on, and as shown in (b) of FIG. 6, the boom unit ( If 200) deviates from the corresponding connection section (A'), the microphone module 300 is turned off, and it is possible to intuitively recognize whether the microphone module 300 is operating.

In addition, the user can easily turn the microphone module 300 on or off in a very intuitive way by rotating the boom stand 200 and placing it inside the corresponding connection section (A') or moving it out.

In this way, using the terminal structure of the present invention, it is possible to intuitively determine whether the microphone module 300 is operating. Hereinafter, the remaining components of the present invention will be described in detail, and then the operation of the entire headset device will be described.

Referring to Figures 2 and 3, the ear cup 100 includes a first body 110 and a second body 120 that are detachable from each other. The detachable structure of the first body 110 and the second body 120 allows power to be conveniently provided to the speaker.

The second body 120 has a built-in speaker 121 and is detachably coupled to the first body 110. For example, a first coupling portion (see 114 in FIG. 3) and a second coupling portion (see 123 in FIG. 2) are formed on opposing parts of the first body 110 and the second body 120, respectively. Can be detachably combined.

The first coupling portion 114 and the second coupling portion 123 may be formed in various structures that are detachable from each other on surfaces facing the first body 110 and the second body 120, and therefore will not be limited to the structures in the drawings. There is no need.

For example, the first body 110 and the second body 120 may be coupled in a concavo-convex coupling manner, and a coupling protrusion 124 may be formed on the second coupling portion 123 side. For example, the first coupling portion 114 may be formed in a structure in which the coupling protrusion 124 can be fitted inside, and the inside of the edge portion coupled with the coupling protrusion 124 may be open.

In particular, as shown in FIG. 2, the second body 120 protrudes from the second body 120 toward the first body 110 and has a speaker 121 (a portion of the opposite side, not the diaphragm side, is shown exposed). ) is formed, and a pair of elastic contact points 121a connected to the first body 110 are disposed in a position corresponding to the elastic contact point 121a so as to be in contact with the elastic contact point 121a, as shown in FIG. 3. A pair of point power terminals 15 connected to the power source of the headset device 1 described above may be formed.

For example, the point power terminal 15 may be formed on the other side of the substrate 111 on which the above-described section-type connection terminal 13 is printed on one side, and the substrate 111 and the power line 113 It can be connected to the power source of the headset device 1 through the wiring 16b connecting the . However, since this is just an example, it is possible to change the structure and arrange it in a different form as needed.

With this structure, when the first body 110 and the second body 120 are combined, the point power terminal 15 is electrically conductive by elastically contacting the elastic contact point 121a. Since the point power terminal 15 is connected to the power source of the headset device 1, power is supplied from the power source to the speaker 121 through the elastic contact point 121a.

Since the second body 120 is easily detachable and detachable, replacement, repair, and maintenance of the speaker 121 and ear pad 122 are convenient, and complex wiring is eliminated, greatly increasing the assembling of the headset device 1. do. The ear cup 100 of this structure can be applied to the headset device 1.

Figure 7 is a diagram showing the use state of the headset device of Figure 1.

The headset device 1 having the structure described above can be used, for example, as shown in FIG. 7. As described above, the corresponding connection section (see A' in FIG. 6) corresponding to the connection section (see A in FIG. 6) can be recognized from the outside, and the rotational position of the rotary terminal (see 12 in FIG. 6) can also be recognized through the boom bar 200. Since you can immediately tell just by looking at the position of , you can intuitively know whether the microphone module 300 is turned on or off just by looking at the rotational position of the boom stand 200.

In Figure 7, the corresponding connection section is shown as a lower semicircle (section marked as ON). Therefore, if the boom 200 is rotated to the corresponding section, it is immediately recognized that the microphone module 300 is turned on, and if the boom 200 is rotated into the upper semicircle (section marked OFF) rather than the corresponding connection section, the microphone module 300 is recognized as being turned on. It is also immediately recognized that (300) is turned off.

In addition, when the user wants to turn on the microphone module 300, all he has to do is rotate the boom bar 200 to the lower semicircle (section marked ON), which is the corresponding connection section. Since all you have to do is rotate the boom bar 200 to the outer upper semicircle (section marked OFF), turning the microphone module 300 on and off can be done very intuitively.

Therefore, even if the headset device 1 is frequently used, the probability of mismanipulating the microphone module 300 or misunderstanding the on-off state of the microphone module 300 is extremely low.

In addition, as mentioned above, the size or range of the connection section (see A1, A2, and A3 in Figure 5) can be adjusted as needed, so the user's convenience of operation can be improved by adjusting the range of the connection section and corresponding connection section as needed. can be further improved. In this way, the headset device 1 can be used.

Hereinafter, a headset device according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. In order to make the explanation concise and clear, the explanation will focus on parts that differ from the above-described embodiment, and unless otherwise specified, all explanations for the remaining parts will be replaced with the above-mentioned explanation.

FIG. 8 is an exploded view of the first body of a headset device with a mute function according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 9 is an operational diagram showing an operation of changing a connection section of the headset device of FIG. 8.

Referring to Figures 8 and 9, the headset device according to another embodiment of the present invention is formed so that the board 111a on which the section-type connection terminal 13 is formed can be rotated at a predetermined angle. Therefore, the user can custom-adjust the position or orientation of the section-type connection terminal 13.

For example, the board 111a (board mounted inside the first body 110) on which the section type connection terminal 13 is printed is rotated around the second center terminal 13a inside the ear cup 100. By enabling this combination, it is possible to form the section-type connection terminal 13 so that its orientation changes as the substrate 111a rotates (see FIG. 9).

For example, a handle 111b that can be manipulated from the outside is placed on one side of the substrate 111a, and a groove 110a is formed at a corresponding position of the first body 110 to provide a movement path for the handle 111b. Thus, rotation of the substrate 111a can be performed. As shown in FIG. 9, the substrate 111a can be coupled to an arc-shaped holder 110b, which is a cylinder or a part of a cylinder, and can be rotatably placed around the second central terminal 13a.

At this time, the above-mentioned point power terminal 15 can be placed separately on, for example, a separate separator board 111c and fixed so as not to rotate. The separator plate 111c can be coupled to another type of fixed holder 110c. The board 111a and the separator board 111c can be connected to the power source of the headset device through another wire 16c connected to the above-mentioned power line (see 113 in FIG. 8).

Although omitted in FIG. 8, the holders 110b and 110c in FIG. 9 may be located inside the first body 110. For example, when forming the first body 110 from plastic, various types of holders (110b, 100c) can be formed on the first body 110 using the injection method, and the holders (110b, 110c) can be manufactured separately. It is also possible to assemble it inside the first body 110.

Referring to FIG. 9, with this structure, the handle 111b can be manipulated to rotate the substrate 111a and change the orientation of the section type connection terminal 13. Accordingly, since the position of the arc-shaped connection terminal 13b is changed, the position of the connection sections A and A-1 corresponding to the arc can also be changed.

Using this structure, the user can determine the location of the connection section (A, A-1) or the corresponding connection section (see A' in FIG. 6), so when the boom pole 200 is rotated in any direction, the microphone Whether the module (see 300 in FIG. 7) is turned on or off can be customized to the user.

Therefore, the user can make more detailed settings, such as turning the boom 200 on or off when the boom 200 is rotated in a direction familiar to the user. Therefore, you can use the headset device more intuitively. It is also possible to configure a headset device in this way.

Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the attached drawings, those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without changing the technical idea or essential features. You will be able to understand it. Therefore, the embodiments described above should be understood in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive.
