substrate only by mounting the microphone unit on the substrate. It will be.
Therefore, as compared with the conventional configuration in which the microphone jack and
the built-in microphone are separately mounted on the substrate, the mounting of the
microphone jack and the built-in microphone on the substrate in the assembly process is
simplified. .
[0009]
Also, in the above microphone unit, the ground terminal of the built-in microphone is connected
to the ground terminal of the microphone jack inside the unit body, so the number of terminals

In another specific configuration of the microphone unit, the unit main body is obtained by
molding the microphone jack and the built-in microphone with an exterior resin. According to the
specific configuration, even when vibration is applied to the microphone unit, the vibration is
absorbed by the exterior resin. Therefore, the vibration imparted to the microphone unit is less
likely to propagate to the built-in microphone, and hence the sound signal output from the builtin microphone is less likely to contain vibration noise.

[0025]
Further, on the substrate (10), a recording means (12) for recording an audio signal from the
microphone jack (3) of the microphone unit (2) or the built-in microphone (4), the recording
means (12) and the first Switching means (13) for selectively switching the electrical connection
with the audio output wiring (112) or the second audio output wiring (114), and whether the

switching operation of the switching means (13) by determining whether or not it is present.
Incidentally, the ground side of the recording means (12) is connected to the ground wiring
(111).
[0026]
The control means (14) is connected between the microcomputer (141) connected to the
detection wire (113) and the voltage application terminal (115) to which the predetermined
positive voltage Vcc is to be applied. And a pull-up resistor (142) electrically connected thereto.
[0027]
As shown in FIG. 4, the input pin (51) is not inserted into the microphone jack (3), and the
connection between the detection terminal (34) of the microphone jack (3) and the ground
terminal (31) is electrically disconnected. If it is, the voltage level of the detection terminal (34)
becomes the same level (high level) as the predetermined positive voltage Vcc applied to the
voltage application terminal (115), and the microcomputer (141) The positive voltage Vcc is to
be applied.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, the input pin (51) is inserted into the microphone jack (3),
and the detection terminal (34) of the microphone jack (3) and the ground terminal (31) are
electrically connected. If it is, the voltage level of the detection terminal (34) is a level (low level)
lower than the predetermined positive voltage Vcc applied to the voltage application terminal

(115), and the microcomputer (141) has a predetermined level. A voltage smaller than the
positive voltage Vcc will be applied.
[0028]
The microcomputer (141) determines which level the voltage level of the detection terminal (34)
is set based on the voltage applied to the microcomputer (141), and thereby the microphone jack
(3) Whether or not the input pin (51) is inserted is determined. Then, the microcomputer (141)
controls the switching operation of the switching means (13) based on the judgment result.
[0029]
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the control procedure of the microcomputer (141). When the
control procedure is started, first, in step S1, the microcomputer (141) causes the voltage level of
the detection terminal (34) to be high level or low based on the voltage applied to the
microcomputer (141). It is determined which level of the level is set.
[0030]
If the microcomputer (141) determines in step S1 that the voltage level of the detection terminal
(34) is set to a high level, the microcomputer (141) inputs an input pin to the microphone jack
(3) in step S2. By determining that (51) is not inserted, and then controlling the switching
operation of the switching means (13) in step 3, the recording means (12) and the second voice
output wiring (see FIG. 4) And 114) are electrically connected. As a result, the recording means
(12) and the built-in microphone (4) are electrically connected via the external terminal (22).
[0031]
If the microcomputer (141) determines in step S1 that the voltage level of the detection terminal
(34) is set to low level, the microcomputer (141) inputs an input pin to the microphone jack (3)
in step S4. By determining that (51) is inserted, and then controlling the switching operation of
the switching means (13) in step S5, as shown in FIG. 5, the recording means (12) and the first
voice output wiring ( 112) and electrically connected. As a result, the recording means (12) and
01-05-2019

the microphone jack (3) are electrically connected via the pair of left and right output terminals
(32) and (33), and as a result, the recording means (12) and the external microphone device (5) )
Are electrically connected via the microphone jack (3).
[0032]
According to the control procedure of the microcomputer (141), when the input pin (51) is
inserted into the microphone jack (3), the audio signal from the external microphone device (5) is
recorded by the recording means (12) When the sound is recorded and the input pin (51) is not
inserted into the microphone jack (3), the sound signal from the built-in microphone (4) is
recorded by the recording means (12).
[0033]
In the microphone unit (2), since the unit body (20) is configured by integrating the microphone
jack (3) and the built-in microphone (4), the microphone unit (2) is mounted on the substrate
(10). Only by mounting, the microphone jack (3) and the built-in microphone (4) will be disposed
on the substrate (10).
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, compared to the configuration in which the microphone jack (103)
and the built-in microphone (104) are separately attached on the substrate (105), the assembly
process is performed on the substrate (10) in the assembly process. The installation of the
microphone jack (3) and the built-in microphone (4) will be simplified.
[0034]
In the microphone unit (2), the ground terminal (41) of the built-in microphone (4) is connected
to the ground terminal (31) of the microphone jack (3) inside the unit body (20). (10) The
number of terminals of the microphone unit (2) to be connected to the upper wiring is reduced
by the amount of the ground terminal (41) of the built-in microphone (4). Therefore, it is not
necessary to provide a wire for connecting the ground terminal (41) of the built-in microphone
(4) on the substrate (10), and the area of the wire on the substrate (10) is reduced.
[0035]

Furthermore, in the microphone unit (2), a part of the vibration-proof rubber (6) is interposed
between the inner surface of the housing (21) and the outer peripheral surface of the built-in
microphone (3). Even when vibration is applied to (2) and the case (21) vibrates due to the
vibration, the vibration is absorbed by the anti-vibration rubber (6). Therefore, the vibration
imparted to the microphone unit (2) hardly propagates to the built-in microphone (4), and hence
the voice signal outputted from the built-in microphone (4) hardly contains vibration noise.
[0036]
Furthermore, in the microphone unit (2), another part of the vibration-proof rubber (6) is the
back surface of the microphone jack (3) and the peripheral portion of the sound collecting
surface (43) of the built-in microphone (4). Since the sound is transmitted between the built-in
microphone (4) and the sound collecting surface (43), the sound transmitted from the back side
of the built-in microphone (4) is prevented from entering the sound collecting surface (43). The
signal is less likely to contain audio noise from the back side.
[0037]
FIG. 7 is a plan view showing an example of a modification of the microphone unit (2).
As shown in FIG. 7, the unit body (20) of the microphone unit (2) may be one in which the
microphone jack (3) and the built-in microphone (4) are molded with an exterior resin (24). In
the improved embodiment, no vibration-proof rubber (6) is provided, and the built-in microphone
(4) has an outer peripheral surface other than the peripheral portion of the sound collecting
surface (43) and the sound collecting surface (43). It will be covered by (24). The other various
configurations and arrangement relations are the same as those of the microphone unit (2)
shown in FIG.
[0038]
In the microphone unit (2) of the improved embodiment, the external resin (24) absorbs the
vibration applied to the microphone unit (2). Further, the external resin (24) prevents the sound
propagating from the back side of the built-in microphone (4) from being caught in the sound
collecting surface (43).
01-05-2019

[0039]
The configuration of each part of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment,
and various modifications can be made within the technical scope described in the claims. The
unit body (20) of the microphone unit (2) is not limited to one configured by integrating the
microphone jack (3) and the built-in microphone (4) by the housing (21) or the exterior resin
(24), The microphone jack (3) and the built-in microphone (4) may be integrally configured by
the exterior member.
[0040]
The built-in microphone (4) may be in close contact with the back of the microphone jack (3). In
this case, no vibration damping rubber (6) or exterior resin (24) intervenes between the
peripheral portion of the sound collecting surface (43) of the built-in microphone (4) and the
back surface of the microphone jack (3). However, since the built-in microphone (4) is in close
contact with the microphone jack (3), the sound propagating from the back side of the built-in
microphone (4) is prevented from being caught around the sound collecting surface (43) become.
[0041]
Further, the control means (14) which determines whether or not the input pin (51) is inserted
into the microphone jack (3) and controls the switching operation of the switching means (13)
includes a microcomputer (141) and a pull Not only the means constituted by the up resistance
(142) but various control means can be applied.
