Abstract

The present disclosure relates to electronic components and glasses comprising an electronic component. The electronic component may include a component body, a first circuit board, a second circuit board, a first microphone element, and a second microphone element. The component body may include a cavity. The first circuit board and the second circuit board may be inclined to each arranged in the cavity. The first microphone element may be arranged on a sidewall, facing the component body, of the first circuit board. The second microphone element may be arranged on a sidewall, facing the component body, of the second circuit board. A first sound conducting hole may be arranged on a sidewall, opposite to the first microphone element, of the component body. The first sound conducting hole may be configured to conduct a sound to the first microphone element. A second sound conducting hole may be arranged on the sidewall, opposite to the first microphone element, of the component body. The second sound conducting hole may be configured to conduct a sound to the second microphone element. The present disclosure may make full use of a space of the electronic component. When the electronic component is applied to an electronic device, it is beneficial to the thinness and lightness of the electronic device.

a second sound conducting hole is arranged on the sidewall, opposite to the second microphone element, of the component body, the second sound conducting hole being configured to conduct a sound to the second microphone element.

2. The electronic component of claim 1 , wherein the component body includes a container body and a cover, wherein:

the container body is hollow to form the cavity,

an opening in flow communication with the cavity is arranged in the container body, and

the cover is arranged on the opening and closes the cavity.

3. The electronic component of claim 2 , wherein the first circuit board is arranged facing the cover, the first microphone element being arranged on a side, facing the cover, of the first circuit board.

4. The electronic component of claim 3 , wherein the first sound conducting hole is arranged on the cover.

5. The electronic component of claim 4 , wherein:

the first circuit board is parallel or inclined to the cover, and

the first sound conducting hole is vertical or inclined to a surface of the cover.

6. The electronic component of claim 5 , wherein a central axis of the first sound conducting hole coincides with a main axis of a sound receiving area of the first microphone element.

7. The electronic component of claim 3 , wherein the second circuit board is arranged facing the container body, the second microphone element being arranged on a side, facing the container body, of the second circuit board.

8. The electronic component of claim 7 , wherein the second sound conducting hole is arranged on a sidewall, opposite to the cover or the first sound conducting hole, of the container body.

9. The electronic component of claim 8 , wherein a central axis of the second sound conducting hole coincides with a main axis of a sound receiving area of the second microphone element.

10. The electronic component of claim 8 , wherein a central axis of the second sound conducting hole coincides with or is parallel to a central axis of the first sound conducting hole.

11. The electronic component of claim 10 , wherein a main axis of a sound receiving area of the second microphone element coincides with or is parallel to a main axis of a sound receiving area of the first microphone element.

12. The electronic component of claim 7 , wherein the second microphone element includes a bone conductive microphone, the bone conductive microphone extending out of the container body through the second sound conducting hole.

13. The electronic component of claim 2 , wherein the cover includes a hard bracket and a soft cover integrally molded on a surface of the hard bracket, wherein:

one end of the sound conducting channel is communicated with the first sound conducting hole, and

the first microphone element is inserted into the sound conducting channel from other end of the sound conducting channel.

14. The electronic component of claim 13 , wherein:

a second sound barrier is arranged at a position, corresponding to the second sound conducting hole, of the container body, and

the second sound barrier extends toward the inside of the cavity through the second sound conducting hole to limit a transmission direction of a sound to the second microphone element.

15. The electronic component of claim 2 , wherein

an area of the first circuit board is smaller than an area of the second circuit board, and

the opening and the cover are arranged in a corresponding strip shape, a size of the first circuit board along a width direction of the cover being smaller than a size of the second circuit board along a vertical direction of the first circuit board.

16. The electronic component of claim 1 , wherein a switch and a light-emitting element are arranged on the first circuit board at intervals.

17. The electronic component of claim 1 , wherein a main control chip and an antenna are arranged on the second circuit board.

18. The electronic component of claim 1 , wherein the first circuit board and the second circuit board are made of a flexible circuit board or a soft-hard combined double-layer circuit board, wherein:

the flexible circuit board is bent in the cavity to form the first circuit board and the second circuit board; or

the soft-hard combined double-layer circuit board includes a flexible connection board and two hard circuit boards respectively connected to both ends of the flexible connection board, the two hard circuit boards being inclined to each other to form the first circuit board and the second circuit board.

19. An electronic device, comprising:
