- the magnetic element as a magnetic source in the vibration component 111 can generate a spatial magnetic field, and the position of the magnetic element relative to the magnetic field sensor 121 changes.
- the acoustic device 100 is applied to headphones.
- the headphones are switched between the natural state (i.e., the non-wearing state) and the wearing state, the position of the magnetic element relative to the magnetic field sensor 121 changes, and the position change causes a change in the spatial magnetic field.

- the relative distance between the magnetic element as a magnetic source in the vibration component 111 and the magnetic field sensor 121 is relatively fixed, and the distance between the two does not change much, so the change in the vector sum of the magnetic field strengths in the thickness direction X, the long axis direction Y, and the short axis direction Z is not large, and accordingly, the change in the total magnetic field strength is not large.

- the threshold interval may refer to the range of values of the magnetic field strength of the magnetic field sensor in a specific direction (or the range of values of the difference in magnetic field strength between two magnetic field sensors or two magnetic field sensitive parts in the same direction in the following text), which is used to determine the output state of the acoustic device 100 (for example, the first output state or the second output state).
- the control circuit may determine the threshold interval in which the magnetic field strength is located, and control the output state of the acoustic device 100 according to the threshold interval in which the magnetic field strength is located.
- the threshold interval may include a first threshold interval and a second threshold interval. When the magnetic field strength is in different threshold intervals, the output state of the acoustic device is different.
- the first threshold interval and the second threshold interval please refer to the following and will not be repeated here.
- the output state of the acoustic device 100 is different if the threshold interval of the magnetic field strength is different.
- Different acoustic devices 100 have different threshold intervals, and the threshold interval can be determined according to the factory settings of the acoustic device 100. Specifically, when the acoustic device 100 leaves the factory, a universal threshold interval can be set, and each acoustic device 100 can be simply calibrated using an artificial head to determine the factory initial value, and the threshold interval is subsequently determined based on the initial value. For example, the acoustic device 100 is in the first output state (or the acoustic device 100 is applied to headphones, and the headphones are in a non-wearing state).
- the magnetic field sensor 121 is used to measure the magnetic field strength of the acoustic device 100 in a specific direction (for example, the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions), and the magnetic field strength is used as the first initial value, and then A certain range is expanded based on the first initial value and determined as the first threshold interval, and the first threshold interval is the threshold interval corresponding to the magnetic field strength of the acoustic device 100 in the first output state (or the earphone is in a non-wearing state).
- the output state of the acoustic device 100 can be controlled to be the first output state (or the earphone is judged to be in a non-wearing state).
- the magnetic field sensor 121 is used to measure the magnetic field strength of the acoustic device 100 in a specific direction, and the magnetic field strength is used as the second initial value, and then the second threshold interval is determined according to the second initial value.
- the second threshold interval is the threshold interval corresponding to the magnetic field strength of the acoustic device 100 in the second output state (or the earphone is in a wearing state).
- the output state of the acoustic device 100 can be controlled to be the second output state (or the earphone is judged to be in a non-wearing state).
- the specific direction in the first output state is consistent with the specific direction in the second output state.
- the factors affecting the threshold interval include, but are not limited to, the structure of the acoustic device 100, the type of acoustic device (bone conduction, air conduction, bone-air conduction), the position of the magnetic field sensor 121, the placement of the magnetic field sensor 121, etc.
- the structure of the acoustic device 100 may include a rear-hanging type, an open air conduction type (a single-ear acoustic device as shown in FIG6 ), etc.
- the position of the magnetic field sensor 121 may include an end close to or far from the circuit board, close to the connection between the ear hook 130 and the functional part housing 120, etc.; the placement of the magnetic field sensor 121 may include whether the magnetic field sensor 121 is placed horizontally, vertically, or tilted on the PCB, etc.
- the distance and angle between the magnetic element as a magnetic source in the vibration assembly 111 and the magnetic field sensor 121 change greatly when the output state of the acoustic device 100 is different (or the acoustic device 100 is applied to headphones, and the headphones are in the wearing and non-wearing state), resulting in significant changes in the component magnetic field strength in the thickness direction X and the long axis direction Y.
- the component magnetic field strength in the thickness direction X increases, while the component magnetic field strength in the long axis direction Y can decrease; and when the output state of the acoustic device 100 is the first output state (or the headphones are in the non-wearing state), the component magnetic field strength in the thickness direction X decreases, and the component magnetic field strength in the long axis direction Y increases; the component magnetic field strength in the short axis direction Z changes relatively little.
- the output state of the acoustic device 100 is controlled by determining the threshold interval of the magnetic field strength, so that the power consumption of the acoustic device 100 can be reduced and the use time can be extended. For example, when the acoustic device 100 is not in use (such as the earphone is not worn), the output state of the acoustic device 100 can be controlled to be the first output state; when the acoustic device 100 is in use (such as the earphone is worn), the output state of the acoustic device 100 is controlled to be the second output state.
- FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing that the output state of the acoustic device is a second output state according to some embodiments of the present specification.
- the threshold interval may include a first threshold interval and a second threshold interval.
- the acoustic device 100 When the magnetic field strength is in the first threshold interval, the acoustic device 100 is in the first output state (when the acoustic device 100 is applied to the earphone, the corresponding earphone is in a non-wearing state); when the magnetic field strength is in the second threshold interval, the acoustic device 100 is in the second output state (when the acoustic device 100 is applied to the earphone, the corresponding earphone is in the first wearing state, i.e., the ear-hanging state).
- the magnetic field strength range corresponding to the first threshold interval is below the boundary, and the output state of the acoustic device 100 is the first output state (or represents that the earphone is in a non-wearing state); the magnetic field strength range corresponding to the second threshold interval is above the boundary, and the output state of the acoustic device 100 is the second output state (or represents that the earphone is in the first wearing state).
- a buffer zone (also called a first buffer zone) can be set between the first threshold interval and the second threshold interval to cope with external magnetic field interference or errors of the magnetic field sensor 121.
- the magnetic field strength of the boundary between the first threshold interval and the second threshold interval is W1.
- a magnetic field strength range with the boundary W1 as the midpoint can be set as a first buffer zone, for example [W1-A1, W1+A1].
- the control circuit controls the output state of the acoustic device 100 to be determined, rather than specifically controlling the output state of the acoustic device 100 to be the first output state or the second output state.
- the first threshold interval refers to a value range of the magnetic field intensity in a specific direction, and the output state of the acoustic device 100 corresponding to the range is the first output state.
- the second threshold interval refers to the value range of the magnetic field strength in a specific direction, and the range corresponds to the output state of the acoustic device 100 being the second output state.
- the first wearing state refers to the ear-hanging state in which the acoustic device 100 or the earphone is hung on the head T and the acoustic device is normally worn on the ear.
- the output state of the acoustic device 100 can be accurately controlled by different threshold intervals of the magnetic field strength.
- FIG. 4 is another schematic diagram showing that the output state of the acoustic device is a second output state according to some embodiments of the present specification.
- the threshold interval may further include a third threshold interval.
- the third threshold interval refers to a range of values of the magnetic field strength in a specific direction, which corresponds to when the acoustic device 100 is applied to headphones, the acoustic device 100 is in the second output state and corresponds to the second wearing state of the headphones.
- the second wearing state refers to the neck-hanging state of hanging the acoustic device 100 or the headphones on the neck B. That is, when the acoustic device 100 is in the second output state, there can be two wearing states corresponding to the headphones, a first wearing state and a second wearing state.
- the magnetic field strength range corresponding to the second threshold interval is below the boundary, representing the first wearing state; the magnetic field strength range corresponding to the third threshold interval is above the boundary, representing the second wearing state.
- a buffer zone also called a second buffer zone
- W2 the magnetic field strength of the boundary between the second threshold interval and the third threshold interval
- a magnetic field strength range with the boundary W2 as the midpoint can be set as the second buffer zone, for example [W2-A2, W2+A2].
- the control circuit judges the wearing state of the headset as pending, rather than the exact first wearing state or the second wearing state.
- effective identification between the neck-hanging state and the ear-hanging state of the headset can be achieved by setting the third threshold interval.
- the acoustic device 100 may include a first speaker 111-1 and a second speaker 111-2.
- the second speaker 111-2 contains a magnetic element
- the distance between the second speaker 111-2 and the magnetic field sensor 121 will also affect the magnetic field distribution.
- the magnetic field intensity detected by the magnetic field sensor 121 is in the first threshold interval, that is, when the acoustic device 100 is in the first output state
- the first speaker 111-1 and the second speaker 111-2 are both close to the magnetic field sensor 121 (generally less than 5 cm)
- the magnetic induction intensity generated by the first speaker 111-1 and the second speaker 111-2 at the magnetic field sensor 121 is B01 and B02 respectively.
- the total magnetic field intensity B0 is obtained by vector superposition of B01 and B02, wherein the total magnetic field intensity B0 can be decomposed into three orthogonal component magnetic field intensities B0x, B0y, and B0z corresponding to the X, Y, and Z axis directions of the magnetic field sensor coordinate system.
- the second speaker 111-2 when the magnetic field strength detected by the magnetic field sensor 121 is in the second threshold interval, that is, the acoustic device 100 is in the second output state, the second speaker 111-2 is away from the magnetic field sensor 121 (the distance is usually greater than 14 cm), and the magnetic induction intensity generated by the first speaker 111-1 and the second speaker 111-2 at the magnetic field sensor 121 changes significantly.
- the total magnetic field strength obtained by superimposing the three orthogonal component magnetic field strength vectors in the X, Y, and Z axis directions is B1, and the axial components are B1x, B1y, and B1z, respectively.
- a first angle is formed between the ear hook 130 and the functional part housing 120, and the value of the first angle corresponding to the first threshold interval is greater than the value of the first angle corresponding to the second threshold interval.
- the first angle corresponding to the first threshold interval may refer to the angle between the ear hook 130 and the long axis direction of the functional part housing 120 (the dotted line in FIG.
- the first angle corresponding to the second threshold interval refers to the angle between the ear hook 130 and the long axis direction of the functional part housing 120 (the dotted line in FIG. 3) when the magnetic field intensity is in the second threshold interval, that is, the output state of the acoustic device 100 is the second output state (corresponding to the earphone being in a wearing state).
- the spatial angle between the ear hook 130 and the functional part housing 120 can be set to ⁇ 0; when the magnetic field intensity detected by the magnetic field sensor 121 is in the second threshold interval, there is a certain clamping force between the first speaker 111-1 and the second speaker 111-2 and the temporal bone, so that the ear hook 130 is deflected to a certain extent, and the spatial angle between the ear hook 130 and the functional part housing 120 becomes ⁇ 1, as shown in FIG3 . Therefore, the first angle corresponding to the first threshold interval is greater than the first angle corresponding to the second threshold interval.
- the ear hook 130 (i.e., the portion of the ear hook 130 between the connection between the ear hook 130 and the functional part housing 120 and the connection between the ear hook 130 and the functional part housing 120) can be approximately regarded as a straight line, so that the angle between the ear hook 130 and the functional part housing 120 in the long axis direction is measured and determined as the first angle.
- the angle between the magnetic element and the magnetic field sensor 121 can be used as another parameter affecting the magnetic field strength. The angle between the magnetic element and the magnetic field sensor 121 directly affects the magnetic field strength of each axial component in the magnetic field sensor coordinate system.
- the output state of the acoustic device 100 is the second output state, and when the earphone is in the second wearing state as shown in Figure 4, that is, it is hung on the neck B, the angle between the ear hook 130 and the functional part shell 120 can be ⁇ 2. Due to the structural characteristics of the acoustic device 100 or the earphone itself, what contacts the neck B is the functional part shell 120 rather than the speaker (that is, the vibration component 111). Therefore, the positional relationship between the magnetic field sensor 121 and the speaker in the second wearing state is different from that in the first wearing state, that is, the angle ⁇ 2 ⁇ 1.
- the magnetic field strength at the magnetic field sensor 121 in the first wearing state and the second wearing state is different, so that the second wearing state of the earphone can be identified.
- some deformation may occur after the acoustic device 100 is used for a long time (due to the strain on the titanium wire in the ear hook 130), and this deformation may affect the first angle, but the change in the first angle caused by the deformation is not sufficient to cause the output state of the acoustic device 100 (or the recognition result of the wearing state of the earphone) to fail.
- a change in the first angle between the ear hook 130 and the functional component housing 120 can cause a change in the magnetic field strength at the magnetic field sensor 121, and the wearing status can be identified by determining the threshold range of the magnetic field strength.
- FIG. 5 is another schematic diagram of an acoustic device according to some embodiments of the present specification.
- the ear hook 130 may include a first ear hook 130 - 1 and a second ear hook 130 - 2

- the first ear hook 130 - 1 is connected to the first speaker housing 110 - 1 and the second ear hook 130 - 2
- the second ear hook 130-2 is connected to the second speaker housing 110-2.
- the acoustic device 100 also includes a rear hook 140, which connects the first ear hook 130-1 and the second ear hook 130-2.
- the rear hook 140 can be an arc-shaped structure that fits closely to the human head T.
- the rear hook 140 can keep the acoustic device 100 stable on the user's head T and ensure that the ear hook 130 and the ear are kept in close contact.
- the rear hook 140 can be made of plastic, metal or silicone.
- the rear hook 140 when the user wears the rear-hanging acoustic device 100, the rear hook 140 needs to be placed behind the head T so that it surrounds the head T and makes the first ear hook 130-1 and the second ear hook 130-2 fit closely to the connection between the auricle and the head T.
- the functional part housing 120 may include a first functional part housing 120-1 and a second functional part housing 120-2, the first speaker housing 110-1 and the first functional part housing 120-1 are connected via a first ear hook 130-1, and the second speaker housing 110-2 and the second functional part housing 120-2 are connected via a second ear hook 130-2.
- the wearing state of the back-hook acoustic device can be determined by the component magnetic field strength.
- FIG. 6 is another schematic diagram of an acoustic device according to some embodiments of the present specification.
- the speaker housing 110 and the magnetic field sensor 121 are clamped on both sides of the auricle by the ear hook 130 to keep the acoustic device 100 worn.
- the ear hook 130 can be an arc-shaped structure adapted to the auricle.
- the speaker housing 110 and the magnetic field sensor 121 are clamped on both sides of the auricle by the ear hook 130 to maintain the wearing stability of the acoustic device 100.
- the ear hook 130 can also be an ear clip structure, and the speaker housing 110 and the magnetic field sensor 121 are arranged at both ends of the ear clip, and the ear clip is directly clamped on both sides of the auricle.
- the speaker and the mainboard of the acoustic device shown in FIG. 6 can be in one housing (e.g., the speaker housing 110), and the battery compartment can be in another housing (e.g., the functional component housing 120).
- the magnetic field sensor 121 is placed in the battery compartment.
- the ear hook 130 undergoes a certain deformation, thereby causing the relative position (such as the angle) between the speaker and the magnetic field sensor 121 to change.
- the output state of the acoustic device can be controlled.
- the change in the distance between the magnetic element and the magnetic field sensor 121 in the acoustic device shown in FIG. 6 is relatively large, and the change in magnetic field strength caused by the change in distance can drown out the interference of the earth's magnetic field. Therefore, the acoustic device shown in FIG. 6 can use the total magnetic field strength or the component magnetic field strength to control the output state of the acoustic device.
- the ear hook 130 connected to the speaker housing 110 and the magnetic field sensor 121 (or the functional housing 120) on the acoustic device 100 needs to be stretched to a certain extent, so that the speaker housing 110 and the magnetic field sensor (or the functional housing 120) can be separated from each other by a certain distance, and then the wearing stability of the acoustic device 100 is maintained by elastic clamping of the ear hook 130 on both sides of the auricle.
- the change in the distance between the magnetic element and the magnetic field sensor 121 will cause the total magnetic field strength to change, and the typical value of the geomagnetic field is about 40-50VT.
- the change in magnetic field strength caused by the change in the distance between the magnetic element and the magnetic field sensor 121 must be higher than the typical value of the geomagnetic field to drown out the interference of the geomagnetic field. Therefore, preferably, the change in the distance between the magnetic element and the magnetic field sensor 121 can be greater than 10mm. It can be understood that the acoustic device 100 shown in Figure 6 is small in size, and the user stretches the ear hook 130 to a certain extent, which is enough to significantly change the distance between the magnetic element in the speaker housing 110 and the magnetic field sensor 121. At this time, the total magnetic field strength at the magnetic field sensor 121 also changes significantly accordingly. Therefore, the output state of the acoustic device 100 can be controlled according to the change in the total magnetic field strength.
- FIG. 7A is a schematic diagram of a single magnetic field sensor according to some embodiments of the present specification.
- the acoustic device 100 can detect changes in the spatial magnetic field with a single magnetic field sensor 121, and a magnetic field sensitive component S1 is disposed in the magnetic field sensor 121.
- the magnetic field sensitive component S1 in the magnetic field sensor 121 needs to simultaneously measure the component magnetic field strength from the geomagnetic field and the magnetic source in the vibration component 111 (e.g., the permanent magnet in the speaker).
- the total magnetic field strength component measured by the magnetic field sensor 121 is the vector superposition of the component geomagnetic field strength and the component magnetic source magnetic field strength.
- Bex, Bey, and Bez respectively represent the three-axial component magnetic field strength of the geomagnetic field at the magnetic field sensitive component S1
- Bsx, Bsy, and Bsz respectively represent the three-axial component magnetic field strength of the magnetic source in the vibration component 111 at the magnetic field sensitive component S1.
- the geomagnetic field will interfere with the results of the magnetic field strength at a single magnetic field sensitive element S1 (ie, Bx, By, and Bz), resulting in the accuracy and stability of the wearing state detection of the acoustic device 100 being affected.
- FIG. 7B is a schematic diagram of a dual magnetic field sensor according to some embodiments of the present specification.
- the acoustic device 100 can use two magnetic field sensors 121 to detect changes in the spatial magnetic field.
- the two magnetic field sensors 121 can be two independent magnetic field sensors, or one magnetic field sensor 121 includes two magnetic field sensitive components, such as S1 and S2 as shown in FIG7B .
- the control circuit can perform differential processing on the spatial magnetic field read by the two magnetic field sensitive components S1 and S2, and determine the change in the spatial magnetic field based on the differential result, thereby controlling the output state of the acoustic device 100.
- the component magnetic field strengths measured at the magnetic field sensitive component S1 are Bx, By, and Bz
- the component magnetic field strengths measured at the magnetic field sensitive component S2 are Bx', By', and Bz'.
- These two sets of component magnetic field strengths are the component earth magnetic field strength and the component magnetic source magnetic field strength.
- Bex', Bey', Bez' respectively represent the three-axial component magnetic field strength of the earth's magnetic field at the magnetic field sensitive part S2
- Bsx', Bsy', Bsz' respectively represent the three-axial component magnetic field strength of the magnetic source in the vibration component 111 at the magnetic field sensitive part S2.
- the actual magnetic field intensity obtained by differential processing of the two sets of component magnetic field intensities measured at the dual magnetic field sensitive part is only related to the component magnetic field intensity of the magnetic source in the acoustic device 100 at the dual magnetic field sensitive part, and has nothing to do with the external magnetic field intensity such as the earth's magnetic field.
- two or more magnetic field sensors 121 are used to form an array, or a single magnetic field sensor 121 includes two or more magnetic field sensitive elements, which can improve the anti-interference ability of the external environment magnetic field such as the earth's magnetic field.
- the sensitive axes of the two magnetic field sensitive components are parallel.
- the sensitive axis refers to the direction in which the magnetic field sensitive component is sensitive to magnetic field changes in space, including the thickness direction X, the major axis direction Y, and the minor axis direction Z of the magnetic field sensor 121.
- the sensitive axes of the two magnetic field sensitive components are set to be parallel, so that the two magnetic field sensitive components have similar responses to spatial magnetic field changes in the same direction, which helps to more effectively eliminate external magnetic field interference when performing differential processing.
- the sensitive axes of the two magnetic field sensitive components can be set at a certain angle (for example, 45 degrees), so that the two magnetic field sensitive components can read the spatial magnetic field intensity in different directions, and the components of the spatial magnetic field in different directions (for example, X, Y, Z) are obtained by calculation, and then the control circuit performs differential processing on the spatial magnetic field read by the two magnetic field sensitive components, and controls the output state of the acoustic device according to the differential result.
- a certain angle for example, 45 degrees
- the differential processing algorithm needs to be adjusted to adapt to the angle difference between the sensitive axes, which can also eliminate the interference of external magnetic fields such as the geomagnetic field and achieve precise control of the output state of the acoustic device.
- the two magnetic field sensors can be arranged more flexibly in the magnetic field sensor 121.
- At least two magnetic field sensors may be disposed on the circuit main board and/or the battery main board and located on the half main board close to the speaker housing 110. In other embodiments, the two magnetic field sensors may also be disposed on a flexible printed circuit board (FPC) and connected to the main board via wires.
- FPC flexible printed circuit board
- placing two magnetic field sensitive components directly on the circuit main board and/or the battery main board on the half side of the main board close to the speaker housing 110 can reduce the required wiring length and reduce the complexity and failure rate of the acoustic device.
- At least two magnetic field sensitive components do not overlap with each other.
- the distances between the two magnetic field sensitive components and the same magnetic element are different.
- the distance between the magnetic field sensitive component and the magnetic element may refer to the distance between the geometric center of the magnetic field sensitive component and the geometric center of the magnetic element.
- the relative position angles between the two magnetic field sensitive components and the magnetic element are different.
- the relative position angle can be represented by the angle between the line between the magnetic field sensitive component and the magnetic element (the line between the geometric center of the magnetic field sensitive component and the geometric center of the magnetic element) and a specific direction (for example, the thickness direction X, the major axis direction Y, and the minor axis direction Z of the magnetic field sensor 121).
- the distance between the two magnetic field sensitive components is very close compared to the geomagnetic field, so the influence of external magnetic fields such as the geomagnetic field on the two magnetic field sensitive components is relatively small; and because the two magnetic field sensitive components do not overlap with each other, the magnetic field generated by the magnetic element will have a significant difference in magnetic field strength at the two magnetic field sensitive components. It can be understood that when the two magnetic field sensitive components do not overlap with each other, the magnetic field strength generated by the magnetic element detected by the two magnetic field sensitive components is different, and this difference can better distinguish the change in magnetic field strength generated by the magnetic element from external magnetic field interference such as the geomagnetic field.
- the two magnetic field sensors do not overlap with each other, so that the magnetic field generated by the magnetic element has different magnetic field strengths at the two magnetic field sensors, so as to facilitate differential processing of the spatial magnetic field read by the two magnetic field sensors, thereby improving the accuracy of the output state of the acoustic device 100.
- the two magnetic field sensitive elements do not overlap each other in the magnetic field sensor 121, which may result in different spatial angles formed between the sensitive axis directions of the two magnetic field sensitive elements and the vector directions of the magnetic field lines generated by the magnetic element and passing through the magnetic field sensor 121. These differences can enable the magnetic field sensor 121 to better distinguish between changes in magnetic field intensity at the magnetic field sensitive elements and external magnetic field interference such as the geomagnetic field.
- the distance between the two magnetic field sensitive components can range from 0.1 mm to 20 mm. In some embodiments, the distance between the two magnetic field sensitive components can range from 0.1 mm to 10 mm. In some embodiments, the distance between the two magnetic field sensitive components can range from 1 mm to 10 mm. Preferably, the distance between the two magnetic field sensitive components can range from 1 mm to 5 mm.
- the variation of the external magnetic field such as the geomagnetic field in space is relatively small, so the external magnetic field such as the geomagnetic field can be approximately regarded as a uniform magnetic field within the range between the two magnetic field sensitive components.
- the difference between the magnetic field strengths measured by the two magnetic field sensitive components will affect the accuracy of the differential processing.
- the external magnetic field such as the geomagnetic field
- the influence of the external magnetic field such as the geomagnetic field on the two magnetic field sensitive components can be approximately regarded as the same. Therefore, when the spatial magnetic field read by the two magnetic field sensitive components is differentially processed, the influence from the external magnetic field such as the geomagnetic field will cancel each other out, thereby highlighting the difference in the magnetic field generated by the magnetic source of the acoustic device 100.
- the differential processing can eliminate the interference of the external magnetic field and improve the accuracy of the output state of the acoustic device 100.
- the external magnetic field such as the geomagnetic field can be approximately regarded as a uniform magnetic field between the two magnetic field sensors, so as to facilitate differential processing of the spatial magnetic field read by the two magnetic field sensors.
- FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of a magnetic interface according to some embodiments of the present specification.
- the acoustic device 100 is provided with a magnetic suction interface 123, which is arranged on the circuit main board 122 and on the half main board away from the speaker housing 110, and the minimum distance between the magnetic suction interface 123 and the magnetic field sensitive part (i.e., the magnetic field sensor 121) is greater than or equal to 5 mm.

- a magnetic suction charging interface i.e., a magnetic suction interface 123
- the position of the magnetic interface 123 relative to the magnetic field sensor 121 is fixed, so the magnetic field generated by the magnetic interface 123 at the magnetic field sensor 121 is a fixed magnetic field, which can be easily eliminated through algorithm calibration.
- the minimum distance between the magnetic interface 123 and the magnetic field sensor 121 can be set to be greater than or equal to 5mm. In some embodiments, in order to reduce the impact of the magnetic interface and prevent the magnetic field sensor 121 from exceeding the range, the minimum distance between the magnetic interface 123 and the magnetic field sensor 121 can be set to be greater than or equal to 8mm.
- the acoustic device 100 can be charged conveniently and quickly. Furthermore, by reasonably setting the distance between the magnetic suction interface 123 and the magnetic field sensitive component, while ensuring that the acoustic device 100 can be charged conveniently and quickly, the influence of the spatial magnetic field generated by the magnetic suction interface 123 on the magnetic field strength read by the magnetic field sensor 121 can be reduced, thereby improving the sensitivity of the magnetic field sensor 121 to identify the position of the magnetic element.
