도 1은 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 휴대용 음향기기(300)의 블록도이다. 도 2 는 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 휴대용 음향기기(300)의 일 방향에서 본 사시도이다. 도 1과 관련한 휴대용 음향기기(300)의 구성들의 설명 편의를 위해 도 2를 함께 참조한다.1 is a block diagram of a portable sound device 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention. 2 is a perspective view seen from one direction of the portable sound device 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Reference is made to FIG. 2 for convenience of description of the components of the portable sound device 300 related to FIG. 1.
본 발명의 휴대용 음향기기(300)는 제어부(380), 무선통신부(385), 음향출력부(340), 센싱부(375), 마이크(360), 사용자 입력부(370) 및 전원공급부(390)를 포함한다. The portable sound device 300 of the present invention includes a control unit 380, a wireless communication unit 385, an audio output unit 340, a sensing unit 375, a microphone 360, a user input unit 370, and a power supply unit 390 It includes.
음향출력부(340)는 음향신호에 따라 음향을 출력하는 장치로서, 대표적인 예로 사용자의 귀에 끼워서 소리를 전달하는 이어버드(341)가 있다. The sound output unit 340 is a device that outputs sound in accordance with an acoustic signal, and a typical example is an earbud 341 that transmits sound by inserting it into a user's ear.
마이크(360)는 외부의 음향 신호를 전기적인 음성 데이터로 처리한다. 처리된 음성 데이터는 무선통신부(385)를 통해 외부 단말기 또는 외부 서버로 전달된다. 마이크(360)에는 외부의 음향 신호를 입력 받는 과정에서 발생되는 잡음(noise)을 제거하기 위한 다양한 잡음 제거 알고리즘이 구현될 수 있다.The microphone 360 processes external sound signals as electrical voice data. The processed voice data is transmitted to an external terminal or an external server through the wireless communication unit 385. Various noise cancellation algorithms for removing noise generated in the process of receiving an external sound signal may be implemented in the microphone 360.
센싱부(375)는 휴대용 음향기기(300) 자체의 상태 및 주변의 상황을 인지하는 장치로서, 주변의 밝기를 감지하는 조도선세, 터치입력을 감지하는 터치센서, 휴대용 음향기기의 기울기 및 위치를 감지하기 위한 자이로 센서, 이어버드(ear bud)(341) 가 이어버드 홀더(325)에 위치했는지 여부를 감지하는 이어버드 스위치 등을 포함할 수 있다. The sensing unit 375 is a device for recognizing the state of the portable sound device 300 itself and surroundings, and determines the illumination intensity of the surroundings, a touch sensor for detecting a touch input, and a tilt and position of the portable sound device. It may include a gyro sensor for detecting, an earbud switch for detecting whether the earbud 341 is located in the earbud holder 325 or the like.
사용자 입력부(370)는 사용자가 휴대용 음향기기(300)를 제어하기 위한 입력부로서, 통화 버튼(372), 음량조절 등을 위한 버튼(373), 전원 버튼(371) 및 음향케이블(345)을 하우징(320) 내부로 수납하는 수납버튼(218) 등을 일 예로 들 수 있다. The user input unit 370 is an input unit for the user to control the portable sound device 300, housing a call button 372, a button 373 for volume control, etc., a power button 371, and an acoustic cable 345 For example, a storage button 218 for receiving the inside may be exemplified.
사용자 입력부(370)의 개수는 통화 버튼(372), 한 쌍의 음량조절 버튼(373) 만을 포함할 수도 있고, 그 외에 play/stop 버튼, 곡순서 변경 버튼을 더 포함할 수 있다. 휴대용 음향기기(300)의 크기는 제한되어 있고, 사용자 입력부(370)는 사용자가 직접 보지 않고 입력하는 경우가 많아 버튼의 개수가 많으면 각 버튼의 기능을 구분하기 힘들어 제한된 개수의 버튼을 이용하여 버튼을 누르는 시간 및 횟수 그리고 복수개의 버튼을 조합하여 입력 가능한 제여명령으로 확대시킬 수 있다. The number of user input units 370 may include only a call button 372 and a pair of volume control buttons 373, and may further include a play/stop button and a change order of songs. The size of the portable sound device 300 is limited, and the user input unit 370 often enters the user without looking at it. If the number of buttons is large, it is difficult to distinguish the function of each button. The time and number of times of pressing and a combination of a plurality of buttons can be enlarged to a possible input command.
휴대용 음향기기(300)는 사용자의 몸에 착용상태를 유지하기 때문에 분실 위험이 적으나, 통상의 단말기는 분실하는 경우가 있어 사용자 입력부(370)는 알람 기능을 수행할 수도 있다. 일 예로, 2개의 사용자 입력부(370)를 동시에 일정시간 누르면 블루투스로 연결된 단말기의 알람을 울려 잃어버린 단말기를 찾을 수 있다. Since the portable sound device 300 maintains a worn state on the user's body, there is little risk of loss, but the user terminal 370 may perform an alarm function because a normal terminal may be lost. As an example, when two user input units 370 are simultaneously pressed for a certain period of time, an alarm of a terminal connected via Bluetooth can be sounded to find the lost terminal.
또한, 블루투스로 연결된 외부 단말기의 음성녹음 기능을 활성화하여 휴대용 음향기기(300)의 마이크(360)를 통해 수집된 음성을 저장할 수 있다. In addition, the voice recording function of the external terminal connected by Bluetooth is activated to store the voice collected through the microphone 360 of the portable sound device 300.
종래에는 단순히 통화와 관련된 기능 또는 사운드 미디어의 재생과 관련된 기능만 휴대용 음향기기로 제어 가능했으나, 본 발명의 휴대용 음향기기는 그 제어범위가 확대된 것이 특징이다. Conventionally, only a function related to a call or a function related to reproduction of sound media can be controlled by a portable sound device, but the portable sound device of the present invention is characterized in that its control range is expanded.
도 2 는 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 휴대용 음향기기(300)의 일 방향에서 본 사시도이다. 본 발명의 휴대용 음향기기(300)의 본체는 밴드(310)와 하우징(320)으로 이루어지며 도 2에 도시된 바와 같이 C자형의 곡선을 형성한다. 2 is a perspective view seen from one direction of the portable sound device 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The main body of the portable sound device 300 of the present invention is composed of a band 310 and a housing 320 and forms a C-shaped curve as shown in FIG. 2.
사용자의 목 뒤에 거치되는 밴드(310)의 양 단에는 전장부를 형성하는 하우징(320)이 구비된다. 상기 밴드(310)와 하우징(320)은 기능을 위주로 구분한 구성이므로, 경우에 따라 밴드(310)와 하우징(320)의 구분 없이 일체형으로 형성될 수도 있고, 겹치는 영역을 형성할 수도 있다.Both ends of the band 310 mounted behind the user's neck are provided with a housing 320 forming an electric field. Since the band 310 and the housing 320 are configured to mainly divide functions, the band 310 and the housing 320 may be integrally formed, or overlapping areas may be formed depending on the case.
밴드(310)의 단면 형상 및 길이는 사용자의 목에 거치 시 이물감을 최소화 하기 위한 형태로 결정된다. 일 예로, 밴드(310)는 휘어진 원기둥 형상으로 구비될 수도 있으며, 또는 면과 두께를 갖는 꼬여진 테이프 형상으로 구비될 수도 있다. 꼬여진 테이프 형상의 밴드(310)의 경우 밴드(310)의 내측면이 목의 배면에 되고 외측면이 배면을 향한다. The cross-sectional shape and length of the band 310 is determined in a form for minimizing foreign feeling when mounted on the user's neck. For example, the band 310 may be provided in a curved cylindrical shape, or may be provided in a twisted tape shape having a surface and a thickness. In the case of the twisted tape-shaped band 310, the inner surface of the band 310 becomes the back surface of the neck and the outer surface faces the back surface.
밴드(310)는 넓은 면이 사용자의 목을 향하고, 하우징(320)은 넓은 면이 상면을 향하는 형태로 입체적인 곡선을 이룰 수 있다. The band 310 has a wide surface facing the user's neck, and the housing 320 has a wide surface facing the upper surface to form a three-dimensional curve.
하우징(320)은 밴드(310)의 양단에 결합하여 상기 휴대용 음향기기(300)의 C자형 곡선의 양 단부에 위치한다. 내부와 외부에 메인기판(381), 무선통신부(385), 배터리(391) 수납모듈(200)과 같은 각종 부품이 삽입된다. The housing 320 is coupled to both ends of the band 310 and is located at both ends of the C-shaped curve of the portable sound device 300. Various components such as the main substrate 381, the wireless communication unit 385, and the battery 391 storage module 200 are inserted inside and outside.
종래의 휴대용 음향기기는 음향케이블(345)의 수납구조를 구현하기 위해 밴드는 가늘지만 양측의 하우징은 비교적 크게 형성해야 했다. 본 발명은 이러한 문제를 해소하기 위해 두께가 얇은 수납구조를 이용하여 도 2에 도시된 바와 같이 본 발명의 휴대용 음향기기(300)의 하우징(320)의 크기를 종래에 비해 얇게 형성할 수 있다. 본 발명의 수납모듈에 대해서는 이후 더 자세히 기술하도록 한다.In the conventional portable sound device, in order to realize the storage structure of the sound cable 345, the band is thin, but the housings on both sides have to be formed relatively large. In order to solve this problem, the present invention can form the size of the housing 320 of the portable sound device 300 of the present invention thinner than in the prior art as shown in FIG. 2 by using a thin storage structure. The storage module of the present invention will be described in more detail later.
밴드 부분과 유사한 두께를 가질지는 하우징은 전면으로 노출되는 부분이 얇아 시각적으로 가벼우며 최근 선호하는 슬림한 디자인을 구현할 수 있다. 또한 휴대용 음향기기(300)를 목에 착용시 하우징(320)이 쇄골에 부딪치거나 하우징(320)의 무게 때문에 발생하는 불편함을 해소할 수 있다. Whether it has a thickness similar to that of the band part, the housing is visually lighter because the part exposed to the front is thin, and a slim design that is recently preferred can be realized. In addition, when the portable sound device 300 is worn on the neck, the inconvenience caused by the housing 320 hitting the clavicle or the weight of the housing 320 may be eliminated.
C자 형상의 휴대용 음향기기(300)는 사용자의 목에 착용하여 휴대할 수 있다. 이때 휴대용 음향기기(300)에 구비된 센싱부(375)는 사용자의 착용 여부를 감지할 수 있다. 예를 들면 센싱부(375)는 밴드(310)에 구비되어 밴드(310)의 곡률변화를 감지하는 변위센서의 형태로 구현될 수 있다. 변위센서는 사용자가 상기 휴대용 음향기기(300)를 착용시 양 단의 하우징(320)을 벌리는 것을 감지할 수 있다. 이 경우 밴드(310)의 곡률이 완만하게 변화하므로, 사용자가 휴대용 음향기기(300)를 사용하려는 것을 판단하고, 휴대용 음향기기(300)의 전원을 ON하거나, 외부 단말기와 동기화 할 수 있다. The C-shaped portable sound device 300 may be worn on the user's neck and carried. In this case, the sensing unit 375 provided in the portable sound device 300 may detect whether the user wears the sensor. For example, the sensing unit 375 is provided in the band 310 and may be implemented in the form of a displacement sensor that detects a change in curvature of the band 310. The displacement sensor may detect that the user opens the housing 320 at both ends when the portable sound device 300 is worn. In this case, since the curvature of the band 310 changes gently, it is determined that the user intends to use the portable sound device 300, and the power of the portable sound device 300 is turned on or synchronized with an external terminal.
상기 변위센서 이외에 사용자가 착용시 목과 닿는 착용면에 온도감지 센서, 광센서 또는 심박센서와 같은 센서를 구비하여 온도가 사람의 체온 범위이거나 밝기가 어두워지고, 심박이 감지되면 사용자가 착용한 것으로 판단하고 휴대용 음향기기(300)의 전원을 ON하거나, 무선통신부(385)를 활성화 하여 외부 단말기와 동기화 할 수 있다.In addition to the displacement sensor, a sensor such as a temperature sensor, a light sensor, or a heart rate sensor is provided on a wear surface that comes into contact with the neck when the user wears it. And the portable audio device 300 is turned on or the wireless communication unit 385 is activated to synchronize with an external terminal.
하우징(320)에는 이어버드(341)가 안착되기 위한 이어버드 홀더(325)를 구비할 수 있다. 이어버드 홀더(325)는 이어버드(341)의 형상에 상응한 홈으로, 이어버드(341)와 결합하기 위해 자석 또는 후크구조를 구비할 수 있다. 이어버드 홀더(325)는 하우징(320)의 단부에 위치할 수 있으며, 이어버드(341)가 이어버드 홀더(325)에 결합 시 이어버드(341)가 보이지 않도록 이어버드 홀더(325)는 하우징의 하면(사용자가 착용시 사용자의 몸과 맞닿는 방향) 방향으로 개방되고, 전면 방향은 하우징(320a)이 덮고 있는 형태로 구현할 수 있다. The housing 320 may include an earbud holder 325 for seating the earbud 341. The earbud holder 325 is a groove corresponding to the shape of the earbud 341, and may have a magnet or hook structure to engage the earbud 341. The earbud holder 325 may be located at the end of the housing 320, and the earbud holder 325 is a housing so that the earbud 341 is not visible when the earbud 341 is coupled to the earbud holder 325. It is opened in the direction of the lower surface (the direction in contact with the user's body when worn by the user), and the front direction may be implemented in a form covered by the housing 320a.
이어버드(341)는 음향케이블(345)을 통해 하우징(320) 내에 위치하는 인쇄회로기판(381a, 381b)과 연결되고, 인쇄회로기판(381a, 381b)은 제어부로서 음향케이블(345)을 통해 이어버드(341)에서 출력되는 소리를 제어한다. The earbuds 341 are connected to the printed circuit boards 381a and 381b located in the housing 320 through the acoustic cable 345, and the printed circuit boards 381a and 381b are controlled through the acoustic cable 345 The sound output from the earbud 341 is controlled.
음향케이블(345)의 일단은 인쇄회로기판(381a, 381b)과 연결되고 타측은 하우징(320) 외측으로 노출된다. 하우징(320)에는 음향케이블(345)이 관통하는 케이블홀을 포함할 수 있다. 케이블홀은 이어버드(341)가 결합되는 이어버드 홀더(325)에 형성될 수 있다.One end of the acoustic cable 345 is connected to the printed circuit boards 381a and 381b, and the other side is exposed outside the housing 320. The housing 320 may include a cable hole through which the acoustic cable 345 penetrates. The cable hole may be formed in the earbud holder 325 to which the earbud 341 is coupled.

도 3은 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 휴대용 음향기기(300)의 하우징 내부를 도시한 도면이다. 종래의 수납모듈은 원형의 휠의 둘레에 음향케이블(345)이 감기는 형태의 구조를 이용하였다. 그러나 종래의 음향케이블(345)은 휠의 둘레에 감겨야 하므로 음향케이블(345)의 두께를 얇게 형성했다. 얇은 음향케이블(345)은 내구성이 떨어져 음향케이블(345)의 불량이 발생할 수 있으며, 휠에 감긴 음향케이블(345)과 메인기판(381)을 연결하는 전극이 회전모듈과 함께 회전하기 때문에 접속의 신뢰성이 떨어지는 문제가 있다. 또한, 휠의 크기 때문에 하우징(320)의 크기를 줄이는데 한계가 있어, 도 2에 도시된 바와 같이 슬림한 하우징(320)에 실장이 불가능한 문제가 있다. 3 is a view showing the interior of the housing of the portable audio device 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The conventional storage module used a structure in which the acoustic cable 345 is wound around a circular wheel. However, since the conventional acoustic cable 345 has to be wound around the wheel, the acoustic cable 345 has a thin thickness. Since the thin acoustic cable 345 is poor in durability, defects in the acoustic cable 345 may occur, and the electrode connecting the acoustic cable 345 wound on the wheel and the main substrate 381 rotates together with the rotating module. There is a problem of low reliability. In addition, due to the size of the wheel, there is a limit in reducing the size of the housing 320, and as shown in FIG. 2, there is a problem that mounting on the slim housing 320 is impossible.
이에 본 발명의 휴대용 음향기기(300)는 휠에 음향케이블(345)이 감기는 형태 대신에 두께가 얇은 수납모듈(210)을 이용한다. 도 4는 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 휴대용 음향기기(300)의 수납모듈(210)의 구동을 설명하기 위한 도면이다. Accordingly, the portable sound device 300 of the present invention uses a thin storage module 210 instead of a form in which the sound cable 345 is wound on the wheel. 4 is a view for explaining the driving of the storage module 210 of the portable sound device 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
도 4의 (a)는 휴대용 음향기기(300)의 수납모듈(210)에 음향케이블(345)이 수납된 상태이고 도 4의 (b)는 이어버드를 당겨서 음향케이블(345)이 하우징 밖으로 인출된 상태를 도시한 도면이다. 본 발명의 수납모듈(210)은 모듈케이스(211), 고정롤러(216), 이동브라켓(215), 이동롤러(214)와 구동부(217)를 포함한다. 4 (a) is a state in which the acoustic cable 345 is accommodated in the storage module 210 of the portable audio device 300, and in FIG. 4 (b), the acoustic cable 345 is pulled out of the housing by pulling the earbuds. It is a diagram showing the state. The storage module 210 of the present invention includes a module case 211, a fixed roller 216, a moving bracket 215, a moving roller 214 and a driving unit 217.
모듈케이스(211)는 하우징(320)에 고정되며, 하우징의 길이방향으로 긴 내부공간을 포함한다. 내부공간의 일측에 고정롤러(216)가 고정되고 이동브라켓(215)은 수납모듈(210)이 길이방향(제1 방향)으로 왕복 운동을 할 수 있다. 이동브라켓(215)가 고정롤러(216)에 인접한 제1 위치(도 5(b)참고)와 고정롤러(216)에서최대로 이격된 제2 위치(도 4(a)참고) 사이를 이동 한다. The module case 211 is fixed to the housing 320 and includes a long interior space in the longitudinal direction of the housing. The fixing roller 216 is fixed to one side of the inner space, and the moving bracket 215 may have the storage module 210 reciprocating in the longitudinal direction (first direction). The moving bracket 215 moves between a first position (see Fig. 5(b)) adjacent to the fixed roller 216 and a second position (see Fig. 4(a)) that is most spaced from the fixed roller 216. .
고정롤러(216)를 향하는 이동브라켓(215)의 일측에 이동롤러(214)가 결합하고, 음향케이블(345)은 고정롤러(216)와 이동롤러(214) 사이를 왕복하며 고정롤러(216)와 이동롤러(214)에 감긴다. 음향케이블(345)은 사용자가 이어버드(341)를 착용시 고개를 돌릴 수 있을 정도의 충분한 길이를 확보하기 위해 고정롤러(216)와 이동롤러(214) 사이를 복수 회 왕복하며 감길 수 있다. The moving roller 214 is coupled to one side of the moving bracket 215 facing the fixed roller 216, and the acoustic cable 345 reciprocates between the fixed roller 216 and the moving roller 214, and the fixed roller 216 And the moving roller 214. The acoustic cable 345 may be reciprocally wound between the fixed roller 216 and the moving roller 214 a plurality of times to secure a sufficient length to allow the user to turn the head when the earbud 341 is worn.
음향케이블(345)이 고정롤러(216)와 이동롤러(214)에 복수회 감기기 때문에 음향케이블 사이에 꼬임이 발생하지 않도록 고정롤러(216)와 이동롤러(214)의 외주면을 따라 형성된 안착홈을 포함할 수 있다. 상기 안착홈은 음향케이블이 고정롤러(216)와 이동롤러(214) 사이를 왕복한 횟수에 비례하여 형성할 수 있다. Since the acoustic cable 345 is wound around the fixed roller 216 and the moving roller 214 a plurality of times, the seating groove formed along the outer circumferential surfaces of the fixed roller 216 and the moving roller 214 is prevented from being twisted between the acoustic cables. It can contain. The seating groove may be formed in proportion to the number of times the acoustic cable travels between the fixed roller 216 and the moving roller 214.
고정롤러(216)와 이동롤러(214)는 이동롤러와 이동브라켓(215)이 이동하는 제1 방향에 수직인 방향인 제2 방향의 축(214a, 216a)을 중심으로 회전하며, 고정롤러(216)와 이동롤러(214) 사이의 거리가 변화함에 따라 음향케이블(345)이 하우징 내부로 수납되거나 외부로 인출될 수 있다. 음향케이블(345)이 고정롤러(216)와 이동롤러(214) 사이를 왕복하여 감기는 횟수가 증가하면 전체 수납모듈의 길이를 줄일 수 있고, 이동브라켓(215)의 이동거리와 음향케이블(345)이 왕복하며 감긴 횟수의 곱의 2배만큼 음향케이블(345)이 인출될 수 있다. The fixed roller 216 and the moving roller 214 rotate around the axes 214a and 216a in the second direction, which is a direction perpendicular to the first direction in which the moving roller and the moving bracket 215 move, and the fixed roller ( As the distance between the 216) and the moving roller 214 changes, the acoustic cable 345 may be accommodated inside the housing or drawn out. When the number of times that the acoustic cable 345 reciprocates between the fixed roller 216 and the moving roller 214 increases, the length of the entire storage module can be reduced, and the moving distance of the moving bracket 215 and the acoustic cable 345 ), the acoustic cable 345 may be drawn out twice as many times as the product of the number of times it is wound.
음향케이블(345)의 일단은 하우징의 외측으로 연장되어 이어버드와 연결되고 타측은 도 4의 (b)에 도시된 바와 같이 음향케이블(345)의 타단은 수납모듈의 타측으로 연장되어 메인기판(381)과 연결된다. One end of the acoustic cable 345 extends to the outside of the housing and is connected to the earbuds, and the other end of the acoustic cable 345 extends to the other side of the storage module as shown in FIG. 4(b). 381).
사용자가 이어버드(341)를 잡아당기면 음향케이블(345)이 당겨지면서 이동브라켓(215)이 제1 위치로 이동하게 된다. 음향케이블(345)이 하우징(320) 외부로 인출될수록 이동롤러(214)와 고정롤러(216) 사이의 거리가 짧아지고, 도 6과 같이 이동브라켓(215)이 수납모듈(210)의 제1 위치에 도달하면 음향케이블(345)을 최대로 인출한 상태가 된다. When the user pulls the earbud 341, the acoustic cable 345 is pulled, and the moving bracket 215 moves to the first position. As the acoustic cable 345 is drawn out of the housing 320, the distance between the moving roller 214 and the fixed roller 216 is shortened, and as shown in FIG. 6, the moving bracket 215 is the first of the storage module 210. When the position is reached, the acoustic cable 345 is drawn to the maximum.
음향케이블(345)을 수납할 때는 구동부(217)의 회전력에 의해 이동브라켓(215)이 다시 제2 위치로 이동하게 되며 구동부(217)의 회전력으로 이동브라켓(215)에 전달하기 위해 구동부(217)와 이동브라켓(215) 사이를 연결하는 와이어(218)를 포함할 수 있다. 와이어(218)는 구동부(217)의 회전방향에 따라 구동부(217) 외측에 감기거나 풀리면서 이동브라켓(215)의 직선운동을 유도한다. 와이어(218)는 낙시줄과 같이 플렉서블하면서도 강성이 있는 소재를 이용하고, 와이어(218)는 음향케이블(345)에 비해 강성이 있고 가늘게 형성할 수 있다. When receiving the acoustic cable 345, the moving bracket 215 is moved back to the second position by the rotational force of the driving unit 217, and the driving unit 217 is transmitted to the moving bracket 215 by the rotational force of the driving unit 217. ) And a wire 218 connecting between the movable bracket 215. The wire 218 induces a linear motion of the moving bracket 215 while being wound or unwound on the outside of the driving unit 217 according to the rotational direction of the driving unit 217. The wire 218 may be made of a flexible and rigid material such as an axle line, and the wire 218 may be more rigid and thin than the acoustic cable 345.
종래의 수납모듈(210)은 회전모듈에 직접 음향케이블(345)이 감기는 구조로서, 음향케이블(345) 전체가 다 감기기 위해서는 구동부(217)가 회전하는 횟수가 많아야 하므로 태엽스프링(2175)의 크기가 커지게 된다. 또한 음향케이블(345)은 두껍고 음향케이블(345)이 감기면 구동부(217)의 지름이 더 커지므로 실제 구동부(217)가 실장되는 공간이 커지게 된다. The conventional storage module 210 has a structure in which the acoustic cable 345 is wound directly on the rotating module, so that the number of times the driving unit 217 rotates in order to wind the entire acoustic cable 345, the main spring 2175 The size increases. In addition, since the acoustic cable 345 is thick and the diameter of the driving unit 217 becomes larger when the acoustic cable 345 is wound, the space in which the actual driving unit 217 is mounted increases.
그러나 본 발명의 구동부(217)의 외측면에 감기는 와이어(218)의 길이는 이동브라켓(215)의 이동 거리, 즉 제1 위치와 제2 위치 사이의 거리에 상응하므로 짧고 그에 따라 태엽스프링(2175)의 크기도 작아져 구동부(217)의 크기는 종래에 비해 작게 형성할 수 있다. 음향케이블(345)도 직접 구동부(217)에 감기지 않아 신뢰성이 향상될 수 있고 두께도 구동부(217)에 감기는 종래보다 더 두껍게 형성하더라도 휴대용 음향기기의 크기가 커지지 않는 장점이 있다. However, since the length of the wire 218 wound on the outer surface of the driving unit 217 of the present invention corresponds to the movement distance of the movement bracket 215, that is, the distance between the first position and the second position, it is short and accordingly the spring spring ( The size of 2175) is also small, so the size of the driving unit 217 can be made smaller than in the prior art. Since the acoustic cable 345 is not directly wound on the driving unit 217, reliability can be improved, and even if the thickness is formed thicker than the conventional winding on the driving unit 217, the size of the portable acoustic device does not increase.
도 5는 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 휴대용 음향기기의 구동부(217)을 도시한 분해사시도이다. 구동부(217)는 하우징(320)의 내측에 회전 가능하게 실장되며, 회전하면서 와이어(218)를 구동부(217)의 외측 둘레에 감아 하우징(320) 내부로 음향케이블(345)을 수납하고, 이어버드(341, 도 2참조)가 이어버드 홀더(325, 도 2참조)에 체결된다. 구동부(217)는 하우징(320)에 고정된 고정부(217a)와 상기 고정부(217a)에 상대적으로 회전하는 회전부(217b)로 구성된다. 고정부(217a)는 구동부(217)의 외관에 위치하는 케이스(2172)를 더 포함할 수 있다.5 is an exploded perspective view showing the driving unit 217 of the portable sound device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The driving unit 217 is rotatably mounted inside the housing 320, and while rotating, the wire 218 is wound around the outside of the driving unit 217 to accommodate the acoustic cable 345 inside the housing 320, followed by The bud 341 (see FIG. 2) is fastened to the earbud holder 325 (see FIG. 2). The driving unit 217 includes a fixing unit 217a fixed to the housing 320 and a rotating unit 217b that rotates relative to the fixing unit 217a. The fixing part 217a may further include a case 2172 positioned on the exterior of the driving part 217.
고정부(217a)는 구동부(217)의 회전 중심 축이 되는 샤프트(2171)를 포함하고, 회전부(217b)는 와이어(218)이 감기는 원통형상의 보빈(2173)을 포함한다. 보빈(2173)의 내부에 태엽스프링(2175)을 구비하여 구동부(217)의 회전을 구동하는 힘을 제공하고, 태엽스프링(2175)은 나선형으로 감긴 판스프링의 일종으로 가운데가 샤프트(2171)에 고정되고 외측이 회전부(217b)에 결합된다. The fixing part 217a includes a shaft 2171 that is a central axis of rotation of the driving part 217, and the rotating part 217b includes a cylindrical bobbin 2173 around which the wire 218 is wound. The bobbin (2173) is provided with a spring (2175) in the interior to provide a force to drive the rotation of the driving unit 217, the spring (2175) is a kind of spirally wound plate spring in the middle of the shaft (2171) It is fixed and the outer side is coupled to the rotating portion 217b.
사용자가 음향케이블(345)을 당기면 보빈(2173)이 제1 방향(도면상 반시계방향)으로 회전하면서 태엽스프링(2175)의 감김 수가 감소하여 탄성에 의한 복원력을 갖게 된다. 음향케이블(345)을 놓으면 태엽스프링(2175)이 상기 복원력에 의해 보빈(2173)이 제1 방향의 반대방향인 제2 방향(도면 상 시계방향)으로 회전하면서 보빈(2173)에 와이어(218)가 감기며 하우징(320) 내부로 수납된다. When the user pulls the acoustic cable 345, the bobbin 2173 rotates in the first direction (counterclockwise on the drawing), so that the number of windings of the mainspring spring 2175 decreases, thereby having a restoring force due to elasticity. When the acoustic cable 345 is released, the mainspring 2175 rotates in the second direction (clockwise on the drawing) in which the bobbin 2173 is opposite to the first direction due to the restoring force, and the wire 218 is attached to the bobbin 2173. Is wound and housed inside the housing 320.
태엽스프링(2175)의 탄성에 의해 회전부(217b)가 제2 방향으로 회전하는 것을 제어하는 회전가이드를 더 포함할 수 있다. 회전가이드는 사용자가 와이어(218)을 당길 때 회전부(217b)가 제1 방향으로의 회전하는 것을 방해하지 않아 사용자가 와이어(218)을 당기는 대로 상기 회전부(217b)는 자연스럽게 회전하며 와이어(218)이 인출된다. A rotation guide for controlling rotation of the rotating part 217b in the second direction by the elasticity of the spring spring 2175 may be further included. The rotation guide does not prevent the rotating part 217b from rotating in the first direction when the user pulls the wire 218 so that the rotating part 217b rotates naturally as the user pulls the wire 218 and the wire 218 It is withdrawn.
사용자가 와이어(218)을 인출 한 후에 음향케이블(345)을 당기던 힘을 제거하면 와이어(218)이 인출된 상태에서 하우징(320) 내부로 수납되지 않도록 회전부(217b)의 제2 방향의 회전을 막아 회전부(217b)를 고정하는 회전가이드를 포함할 수 있다. 회전가이드는 와이어(218)을 다시 당겼다 놓으면 회전부(217b)의 고정이 풀려 태엽스프링(2175)의 탄성에 의해 제2 방향으로 회전하며 와이어(218)이 수납되도록 한다.When the user removes the force pulling the acoustic cable 345 after the wire 218 is pulled out, the rotation of the rotating part 217b in the second direction is prevented from being received inside the housing 320 in the state where the wire 218 is pulled out. It may include a rotation guide for fixing the rotating portion (217b). In the rotation guide, when the wire 218 is pulled and released again, the fixing of the rotating portion 217b is released to rotate in the second direction by the elasticity of the spring spring 2175 so that the wire 218 is received.
회전가이드는 트랙(2177)과 범프(2179b)를 포함하고, 범프(2179b)는 가이드 플레이트(2179)에 형성될 수 있다. 트랙(2177)은 회전부(217b)의 일부로서 회전부(217b)와 같이 회전하고 트랙(2177)이 회전시 트랙상에서 이동하며 가이드 플레이트(2179)의 직선운동을 야기한다. 트랙(2177)은 상기 범프(2179b)가 트랙(2177)을 따라 이동할 수 있도록 오목한 함몰부를 포함한다. 범프(2179b)의 트랙상의 위치에 따라 가이드 플레이트(2179)가 이동하며, 가이드 플레이트(2179)의 샤프트 슬롯(2179a)은 회전하지 않고, 직선운동을 한다. The rotation guide includes a track 2177 and a bump 2179b, and the bump 2179b may be formed on the guide plate 2179. The track 2177 rotates like the rotation part 217b as part of the rotation part 217b, and the track 2177 moves on the track when rotating, causing a linear motion of the guide plate 2179. The track 2177 includes a concave recess to allow the bump 2179b to move along the track 2177. The guide plate 2179 moves according to the position on the track of the bump 2179b, and the shaft slot 2179a of the guide plate 2179 does not rotate, and performs linear motion.
트랙(2177)은 한 쌍의 원형의 트랙과 상기 한 쌍의 원형 트랙 사이에 위치하는 스톱트랙을 포함한다. 회전부(217b)가 회전시 범프(2179b)는 원형트랙을 따라 이동하고 범프(2179b)는 상기 스톱트랙에 걸려서 회전부(217b)의 회전을 제한한다. The track 2177 includes a pair of circular tracks and a stop track positioned between the pair of circular tracks. When the rotating portion 217b is rotated, the bump 2179b moves along the circular track, and the bump 2179b is caught by the stop track to limit rotation of the rotating portion 217b.
가이드 플레이트(2179)는 판형의 부재로서, 사출물이나 금속 판형부재를 가공하여 만들 수 있다. 가이드 플레이트(2179)에는 샤프트 슬롯(2179a), 범프(2179b) 및 스토퍼 보스(2179c)가 형성된다. 샤프트 슬롯(2179a)은 가이드 플레이트(359)에 일측으로 연장된 개구부로 샤프트(2171)가 샤프트 슬롯(2179a)을 관통한다. 샤프트 슬롯(2179a)은 트랙(2177)의 회전운동을 직선운동으로 변환시키는 역할을 하며 샤프트 슬롯(2179a)의 연장방향으로 가이드 플레이트(2179)가 이동한다. The guide plate 2179 is a plate-shaped member and can be made by processing an injection material or a metal plate-shaped member. The guide plate 2179 is formed with a shaft slot 2179a, a bump 2179b, and a stopper boss 2179c. The shaft slot 2179a is an opening extending to one side of the guide plate 359, and the shaft 2171 passes through the shaft slot 2179a. The shaft slot 2179a serves to convert the rotational motion of the track 2177 into a linear motion, and the guide plate 2179 moves in the extending direction of the shaft slot 2179a.
가이드 플레이트(2179)가 회전부(217b)와 함께 회전하게 되는 문제가 발생할 수 있어, 고정부인 케이스(2172)에 프트 슬롯(2179a)의 연장방향과 평행한 방향으로 연장된 가이드 슬롯(2178)을 형성하고 가이드 슬롯(2178)에 체결된 가이드 보스(2179c)를 가이드 플레이트(2179)에 형성하여 가이드 플레이트(2179)의 회전을 차단하고 샤프트 슬롯(2179a)방향의 직선운동을 보조할 수 있다. A problem that the guide plate 2179 may rotate with the rotating portion 217b may occur, forming the guide slot 2178 extending in a direction parallel to the extending direction of the loft slot 2179a in the case 2172 which is a fixing portion. And by forming a guide boss (2179c) fastened to the guide slot (2178) on the guide plate (2179) can block the rotation of the guide plate (2179) and assist the linear motion in the direction of the shaft slot (2179a).
가이드 보스(2179c)가 회전부(217b)의 회전에 저항하고 가이드 플레이트(2179)가 안정적으로 직선운동 하도록 가이드 보스(2179c)는 가이드 슬롯(2178)의 연장방향으로 더 긴 장방형 또는 타원형의 단면을 가질 수 있다. The guide boss 2179c has a longer rectangular or elliptical cross section in the extending direction of the guide slot 2178 so that the guide boss 2179c resists rotation of the rotating portion 217b and the guide plate 2179 stably moves linearly. Can.
도 6은 본 발명의 수납모듈(210)에서 이동브라켓(215)이 제1 위치에 도달한 경우를 도시한 도면이다. 도 6의 (a)와 같이 사용자가 음향케이블(345)을 당기다가 이동브라켓(215)이 제1 위치에 도달하면 고정롤러(216)가 체결된 고정브라켓(212)과 이동브라켓(215)이 부딪치게 되어 최대로 인출시 이 충돌로인한 진동이 사용자의 손에 전달되는 문제가 있다. 6 is a view showing a case where the mobile bracket 215 reaches the first position in the storage module 210 of the present invention. As shown in (a) of FIG. 6, when the user pulls the acoustic cable 345 and the moving bracket 215 reaches the first position, the fixed bracket 212 and the movable bracket 215 to which the fixed roller 216 is fastened are There is a problem in that vibration caused by this collision is transmitted to the user's hand when it is pulled out to the maximum.
또한, 이와 같은 충돌이 발생하면 사용자가 당기는 음향케이블(345)에 충격이 가해져 음향케이블(345)이 이동롤러(214)에서 감겨서 꺾어지는 부분(345a)에 충격이 집중되어 음향케이블(345)의 신뢰성이 저하되는 문제가 있다.
