Description

Microphone socket and microphone assembly using the microphone socket

【Technical field】

The invention relates to a microphone assembly, in particular to a microphone socket.

【Background technique】

With the development of wireless communication, there are more and more mobile phone users around the world. The requirements of users for mobile phones are not only satisfied with calls, but also to be able to provide high-quality call effects. Especially the current development of mobile multimedia technology, the mobile phone Call quality is more important. The microphone of a mobile phone is used as a voice pick-up device for the mobile phone, and its design directly affects the call quality. In addition, mobile phones are becoming more and more miniaturized, and components on them, such as microphones, are getting smaller and smaller and are more likely to be damaged.

Ordinary microphones are directly soldered to the application environment, such as the mainboard of a mobile phone. Once the microphone is damaged, only the entire mainboard can be replaced instead of the microphone alone, which will directly lead to a sharp increase in the cost of the user. In addition, there are usually other electronic components installed on the motherboard, and if one microphone is damaged, other electronic components will need to be replaced at the same time, which is very inconvenient for both maintenance and use. In addition, if the microphone needs to be upgraded, it is also inconvenient, and the entire circuit board must also be replaced.

Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new electret microphone to overcome the above disadvantages.

As an improvement of the microphone socket of the present invention, several positioning blocks extending toward the center of the receiving groove are provided on the top surface along the outline of the receiving groove.

As an improvement of the microphone socket of the present invention, the conductive terminal further includes a connecting portion extending from the contact portion outward through the bottom surface and toward the top surface.

The present invention further provides a microphone assembly, which includes a microphone and a microphone socket carrying the microphone. The microphone socket includes a body, the body is provided with a bottom surface, a top surface opposite to the bottom surface, and a side wall connecting the bottom surface and the top surface. A receiving groove is recessed toward the bottom surface. The microphone socket also includes a plurality of conductive terminals. The conductive terminals include a contact portion located in the receiving groove and a joint portion extending out of the bottom surface from the contact portion.

Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: when the microphone is installed on the motherboard, it is transferred to the motherboard through the microphone socket, and when the microphone is damaged, the microphone can be directly replaced without replacing the whole circuit board .

【Detailed ways】

The specific structure of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the microphone socket 10 of the present invention includes a body 11 , the body 11 has a bottom surface 12 , a top surface 13 opposite to the bottom surface 12 , and a side wall 14 connecting the bottom surface 12 and the top surface 13 . A receiving groove 15 is defined on the top surface 13 toward the bottom surface 12 for accommodating a microphone (refer to FIG. 3 ) therein. The receiving groove 15 is formed through a circular groove 15a and a rectangular groove 15b. The microphone socket 10 also includes a plurality of conductive terminals 16, and each conductive terminal 16 is provided with a contact portion 161 accommodated in the receiving groove 15 for electrical connection with the microphone, and a joint protruding from the bottom surface 12 for connecting with an external circuit. Section 162. In this embodiment, the receiving groove 15 is formed by a circular groove 15a and a rectangular groove 15b intersecting. In fact, the receiving groove 15 can be a single shape, or can be formed by intersecting multiple other shapes. , such as triangles and circles, squares and triangles, etc. The conductive terminals 16 are generally positioned on the body 11 by embedded injection molding, and other methods are also possible, such as inserting pins first and then bending. In addition, a plurality of positioning blocks 17 extending toward the center of the receiving tank 15 are provided on the top surface 13 along the outline of the receiving tank 15 .
