Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a wireless listening device, which includes a housing adapted to be wearable and a top cover. The top cover closes the housing at an end of the device and is provided with a central bumped portion that includes: a substantially planar panel portion; and a raised portion, which is connected around an outer periphery of the panel portion and at least partially extends toward the housing in a direction perpendicular to a plane where the panel portion is located. The panel portion and the raised portion form an accommodating groove that at least partially accommodate a charging device, a manipulation device and an antenna. In the plane where the panel portion is located, a diameter of a minimum circumscribed circle of orthographic projections of the charging device, the manipulation device, and the antenna as a whole is in a range of 8 to 16 mm.

Claims (26)

1. A wireless listening device, comprising:

a housing, which is placeable at an external auditory canal and an auricular concha cavity of a wearer, and

a top cover, which closes the housing at an end of the wireless listening device and is configured with a central bumped portion that comprises:

a panel portion, which extends substantially in a planar shape, and

a raised portion, which is connected around an outer periphery of the panel portion and at least partially extends toward the housing in a direction perpendicular to a plane where the panel portion is located,

wherein the panel portion and the raised portion form an accommodating groove opened toward an interior of the wireless listening device, and a charging device, a manipulation device and an antenna of the wireless listening device are at least partially accommodated in the accommodating groove,

wherein in the plane where the panel portion is located, a diameter D of a minimum circumscribed circle of orthographic projections of the charging device, the manipulation device, and the antenna as a whole is in a range of 8 mm to 16 mm.

2. The wireless listening device according to claim 1 , wherein in the plane where the panel portion is located, the diameter D of the minimum circumscribed circle of the orthographic projections of the charging device, the manipulation device and the antenna as a whole is in a range of 11 mm to 13 mm.

3. The wireless listening device according to claim 1 , wherein the panel portion is substantially circular, elliptical, or polygonal.

4. The wireless listening device according to claim 1 , wherein the top cover further comprises at least one lug portion, which is arranged at an outer periphery of the central bumped portion and forms a groove opened toward the interior of the wireless listening device.

5. The wireless listening device according to claim 4 , wherein in the plane where the panel portion is located, a maximum distance L between an outer contour of an orthographic projection of the lug portion and a center of the minimum circumscribed circle is in a range of 8 mm to 12 mm.

6. The wireless listening device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a first microphone comprising a first sound pickup hole; and

a second microphone comprising a second sound pickup hole,

wherein the manipulation device is substantially in a flat plate shape, and the charging device comprises a charging pin,

wherein in a plane perpendicular to the manipulation device, an orthographic projection of the manipulation device partially overlaps an orthographic projection of the charging pin,

wherein in a plane where the manipulation device is located, an outer contour of the orthographic projections of the manipulation device and the charging pin has a minimum circumscribed circle, and a connecting line between an orthographic projection of the first sound pickup hole and a center of the minimum circumscribed circle forms an included angle α in a range of 100° to 140° with a connecting line between an orthographic projection of the second sound pickup hole and the center of the minimum circumscribed circle.

7. The wireless listening device according to claim 6 , wherein a diameter d of the minimum circumscribed circle of the outer contour of the orthographic projections of the manipulation device and the charging pin is 5 mm to 6 mm.

8. The wireless listening device according to claim 6 , wherein in the plane where the manipulation device is located, the minimum circumscribed circle of the orthographic projection of the charging pin at least partially overlaps the manipulation device.

9. The wireless listening device according to claim 6 , further comprising a magnet, wherein in the plane perpendicular to the manipulation device, orthographic projections of the first microphone, the second microphone, and the magnet at least partially overlap.

10. The wireless listening device according to claim 6 , further comprising a mainboard which comprises a planar section extending substantially parallel to the manipulation device, and the first microphone and the second microphone are both fixed in the planar section.

11. The wireless listening device according to claim 1 , wherein the antenna is configured as a metal circuit formed on a sidewall of the accommodating groove or configured as a metal sheet extending along the sidewall of the accommodating groove.

12. The wireless listening device according to claim 1 , wherein the cover plate is further configured with a joint portion, which is connected to an end of the raised portion opposite to the panel portion and at least partially extends toward the housing in a plane parallel to the panel portion.

13. The wireless listening device according to claim 1 , wherein the housing is configured with a contraction portion, which is formed at an edge of an accommodating cavity of the housing and at least partially extends toward the raised portion in a plane parallel to the panel portion.

14. The wireless listening device according to claim 1 , wherein the housing is a housing customized according to an ear of the wearer, and wherein an outer contour of the housing is at least partially matched with shapes of an external acoustic meatus and an auricular concha cavity of the wearer.

15. The wireless listening device according to claim 14 , wherein the wireless listening device is configured with a ventilation duct for communicating the external acoustic meatus of the wearer with the outside.
