However, as mentioned above, in the process of using shared earphones, it is inevitable that dust, dander, grease and other pollutants metabolized from the user's skin will adhere to the earphones of the earphones. Therefore, the earphones returned by the user after use must not be Most will be contaminated. If such contaminated earphones are rented to other users again, it will not only cause other users to be unhappy and reduce the user experience, but also may make the shared earphones a transmission route for viruses and bacteria, which is not conducive to public health.

In order not to keep the contaminated earphones in circulation, the cleaning of shared earphones has become an essential task. One solution is to set up a recycle bin in the headset sharing terminal to collect the shared headsets used by users, and send staff to open the recycle bin regularly to transfer the used shared headsets from the headset sharing terminal and carry out reprocessing. After cleaning, put the clean earphones into the earphone sharing terminal again and put them into use. However, this cleaning method is not only inefficient, but also costs a lot of labor, which greatly limits the development prospects of shared headsets.
