Description

Headset

The present invention relates to a headset, and more particularly to a technical structure improvement of a headset for a vehicle.

As the concept of energy conservation and carbon reduction becomes stronger and stronger, the use of bicycles is becoming more and more popular. People not only use bicycles for daily transportation, but more and more people are engaged in cycling. Therefore, the production of bicycles has increased greatly. With the progress of the industry, bicycles are equipped with more and more equipment. For example, many bicycles will be equipped with communication devices (such as RFID, Bluetooth devices, GPS positioning, wireless transmission, etc.) to locate or communicate with external 3C devices. However, such communication devices installed on the bicycle body are easily damaged by wind and rain, or by collision with external objects, and there are shortcomings that need to be improved urgently.

Therefore, it is necessary to provide a novel and advanced headset to solve the above problems.

The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a headset having a space for accommodating at least one object.

To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a head headset assembly, which is provided on a vehicle body, the vehicle body including a head tube and a front fork vertical tube extending along an axial direction, and the head headset assembly includes a head headset assembly and a cover. The head headset assembly is provided to be sleeved on the front fork vertical tube. The cover is provided on the head headset assembly and forms a space between the head headset assembly and the cover.

The following examples are merely used to illustrate possible implementations of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention, so it should be noted in advance.

Please refer to Figures 1 to 4, which show a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The headphone assembly of the present invention is provided on a vehicle body. In this embodiment, the vehicle body is a bicycle. The vehicle body includes a head tube 91 and a front fork vertical tube 92 extending along an axial direction. The headphone assembly includes a head bowl assembly 1 and a cover 2.

The head bowl assembly 1 is sleeved on the front fork vertical tube 92 .

The cover body 2 is disposed on the head bowl assembly 1 and forms a space 21 with the head bowl assembly 1. The space 21 is used to accommodate at least one object, such as an electronic communication unit 8. The electronic communication unit 8 is used to communicate with the outside world.

Thus, the headset of the present invention can effectively provide high protection and concealment for the electronic communication unit 8, so as to prevent the electronic communication unit 8 from being damaged by external wind and rain, or collision with foreign objects. This can increase consumers' willingness to install the electronic communication unit 8 on their bicycles, thereby improving practicality.

Specifically, the cover 2 includes a top 22 and a lip 23, the lip 23 covers the head bowl assembly 1, and the lip 23, the top 22 and the head bowl assembly 1 form the space 21. The lip 23 can effectively achieve waterproof functions such as splash and rainproof, and prevent liquid from flowing into the head bowl assembly 1 through the cover 2.

Furthermore, the top portion 22 is axially provided with a first set of holes 24, and the top portion 22 is also axially provided with a plurality of wire holes 25, and the wire holes 25 are provided for the passage of a plurality of wires (as shown in FIG. 4 ) to achieve the purpose of internal wiring and prevent the wires from being exposed to the head tube 91 and damaged by the outside world.

In this embodiment, the head bowl assembly 1 includes a pad 3, the pad 3 is provided with a second set of holes 31, the second set of holes 31 is provided to be sleeved on the front fork vertical tube 92, the cover 2 is provided to cover the pad 3 and the pad 3 is provided to cover one end of the head tube 91, and the spacing space 21 is formed between the cover 2 and the pad 3. The pad 3 further includes at least one notch 32, each of which is connected to the second set of holes 31. In this embodiment, the number of the at least one notch 32 is two, and the wires are provided to pass through the two notches 32 to be guided to the bottom of the head tube 91.

The electronic communication unit 8 is attached to one side of the pad 3 facing the cover 2, and can be fixed to the pad 3 by gluing or tight fitting to prevent the electronic communication unit 8 from shaking in the space 21 and being damaged by collision.

Preferably, the electronic communication unit 8 includes a circuit board 83 and an antenna module 82. The antenna module 82 and the circuit board 83 are connected by a wire 81. The antenna module 82 and the circuit board 83 are respectively located at the radial ends of the pad 3. The separation of the antenna module 82 and the circuit board 83 can make the signal reception of the antenna module 82 more stable. In this embodiment, the electronic communication unit 8 is a GPS module, and in other embodiments it can also be a Bluetooth or wireless module. In this embodiment, the circuit board 83 further includes a battery assembly 84 and a processing module 85. The battery assembly 84 provides the power required by the processing module 85 and the antenna module 82. The wire 81 corresponds to the outer side of the diameter of the notch 32. The circuit board 83 and the antenna module 82 are respectively located between the two notches 32, so that the pad 3 has a sufficient area to accommodate the circuit board 83 and the antenna module 82. It should be noted that, as shown in FIG. 5, a connection line 86 connected to an external power source can be extended into the space 21 through the wire hole 25 and electrically connected to the circuit board 83 to provide power.

Referring again to Figures 1 to 4, in this embodiment, the pad 3 is provided with a flange 33 axially protruding around the second set hole 31 and the two notches 32. The flange 33 is used to prevent the electronic communication unit 8 from contacting the front fork vertical tube 92 to avoid wear. In addition, the space 21 and one of the cover 2 or the head bowl assembly 1 can also be integrally molded and at least partially cover the electronic communication unit 8, which is more convenient in assembly.

Among them, the head bowl assembly 1 also includes a clamping member 4, and the clamping member 4 includes a third set of holes 43 opened along the axial direction and a slot 41 opened in the radial direction. The third set of holes 43 is provided for being sleeved on the front fork vertical tube 92 and accommodated in the head tube 91. The pad 3 covers the clamping member 4 and the clamping member 4 is provided for pressing against a bearing 93 in the head tube 91. The outer periphery of the clamping member 4 is radially opened with at least one recessed portion 42. In this embodiment, the number of the at least one recessed portion 42 is two and the position corresponds to the two notches 32 for the wire to pass through. When the pad 3 is covered on the clamping member 4, since the clamping member 4 has the slot 41, the radial dimension of the clamping member 4 can be reduced and clamped against the front fork vertical tube 92, so that the cover 2, the pad 3 and the clamping member 4 can move together with the front fork vertical tube 92.

Preferably, a channel 5 is formed between the cover 2 and the head bowl assembly 1, and the channel 5 includes a first end 51 and a second end 52, the first end 51 is connected to the space between the head tube 91 and the front fork vertical tube 92, and the second end 52 is an opening that is not open upward, the radial dimension of the cover 2 is larger than the head bowl assembly 1, and the second end 52 radially protrudes from the head bowl assembly 1, and the channel 5 is for at least one wire 94 to extend.
