[0029] The utility model provides an earphone.

[0030] In the embodiment of the present utility model, Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the earphone includes a wearing body 1, two sliding arms 2 and two clamping members 4. The wearing body 1 is arranged in an arc shape; the two sliding arms 2 are slidably arranged on the wearing body 1, one of the two sliding arms 2 extends from one end of the wearing body 1, and the other extends from the other end of the wearing body 1, and the sliding arm 2 can slide relative to the wearing body 1 to adjust the length of itself extending from the wearing body 1; the two clamping members 4 are both arranged on the wearing body 1, and the two clamping members 4 correspond to the two sliding arms 2 one by one, respectively. The clamping member 4 includes two flexible arms 41 arranged on opposite sides of the corresponding sliding arm 2, and the material of each flexible arm 41 is flexible material. The two flexible arms 41 of the same clamping member 4 are respectively abutted against the corresponding sliding arm 2 to make the sliding arm 2 move in a preset sliding direction.

[0031] Specifically, the sliding arm 2 is disposed in the space between the two flexible arms 41 , and the sides of the sliding arm 2 are respectively in contact with the two flexible arms 41 . Under the limitation of the flexible arms 41 , the sliding arm 2 moves along the preset sliding direction without deviation.

[0032] It can be understood that the earphones of the technical solution of the utility model can provide more flexible adjustment functions to adapt to the head sizes and shapes of different users by providing a slidable sliding arm 2 on the wearing body 1. At the same time, the flexible arm 41 made of soft material can produce a moderate damping effect during the adjustment process of the sliding arm 2, which not only makes the adjustment process smoother, but also effectively reduces the noise and wear caused by hard friction. In addition, the deformation characteristics of the flexible material help to absorb and disperse the pressure caused by the adjustment, further reducing the wear on the surface of the sliding arm 2 during long-term use, and extending the service life of the earphones. The comprehensive effect of this design not only improves the practicality of the earphones, but also optimizes the user experience.

[0033] The flexible arm 41 may be made of a flexible material having good flexibility and durability, such as rubber, silicone, thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), etc.

[0034] Each clamping member 4 includes a connecting arm 42 , which is connected to the corresponding two flexible arms 41 as a whole, and the connecting arm 42 is fixedly connected to the wearing body 1 .

[0035] This integrated connection method reduces the steps required to install the two flexible arms 41 on the wearing body 1, improves assembly efficiency, and reduces the possibility of assembly errors. At the same time, the integrated structure enhances the overall mechanical strength and stability of the clamping member 4, reduces the risk of loose parts during long-term use, and ensures the durability of the headset and the user experience.

[0036] Each clamping member 4 includes a clamping cover 44 . The clamping cover 44 is disposed on a side of the corresponding flexible arm 41 facing away from the corresponding connecting arm 42 . The clamping cover 44 is made of a flexible material and abuts against the corresponding sliding arm 2 .

[0037] The clamping cover 44 made of soft material can produce a moderate damping effect during the adjustment of the sliding arm 2, which not only makes the adjustment process smoother, but also effectively reduces the noise and wear caused by hard friction. In addition, the deformation characteristics of the flexible material help to absorb and disperse the pressure caused by adjustment, further reducing the wear on the surface of the sliding arm 2 during long-term use, thereby extending the service life of the earphones.

[0038] The clamping cover 44 may be made of a flexible material having good flexibility and durability, such as rubber, silicone, thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), etc.

[0039] The clamping cover 44 can be fixed on the wearing body 1 or on a flexible arm 41 .

[0040] Each flexible arm 41 has a plurality of abutment strips 43 protruding from the side facing the corresponding sliding arm 2. The flexible arm 41 abuts against the corresponding sliding arm 2 through the abutment strips 43. The plurality of abutment strips 43 on the same flexible arm 41 are arranged in parallel, and the length direction of the abutment strips 43 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the corresponding sliding arm 2.

[0041] By providing a plurality of abutment bars 43 on each flexible arm 41, the contact area between the flexible arm 41 and the sliding arm 2 is effectively reduced. This design reduces the friction resistance when moving the sliding arm 2, making it easier and smoother for the user to adjust the length of the sliding arm 2, avoiding the inconvenience of operation caused by excessive resistance. The parallel arrangement of the abutment bars 43 and the layout perpendicular to the sliding direction also help stabilize the movement of the sliding arm 2, maintain the accuracy of adjustment, and prevent the sliding arm 2 from being skewed or stuck during use, thereby improving the overall experience of the user when moving the sliding arm 2.

[0042] In addition, the space between two adjacent abutment strips 43 allows the abutment strips 43 to be appropriately deformed when subjected to pressure. This deformation can absorb and disperse the pressure adjusted by the slide arm 2, avoiding excessive pressure on the slide arm 2, thereby reducing friction and wear.

[0043] The surface of each abutting strip 43 is an arc-shaped surface.

[0044] The arc-shaped abutment strip 43 can contact the surface of the sliding arm 2 more smoothly, which not only reduces the local pressure during contact, but also enhances the smoothness of sliding. This design effectively reduces the friction resistance during operation, allowing the user to adjust the headphone sliding arm 2 more smoothly. It also reduces the wear on the surface of the sliding arm 2 during long-term use, thereby extending the service life of the headphone.

[0045] Similarly, the surface of the sliding arm 2 that contacts the abutting strip 43 is an arc-shaped surface.

[0046] The sliding arm 2 is made of flexible material, and each sliding arm 2 is formed with a groove body 21, which extends in the length direction of the corresponding sliding arm 2. One of the two opposite groove side walls of the groove body 21 abuts against a flexible arm 41, and the other of the two opposite groove side walls of the groove body 21 abuts against the other flexible arm 41.

[0047] The deformable sliding arm 2 can extend or bend according to the needs of the user, ensuring that the earphones can better adapt to different users. At the same time, a groove body 21 is provided on the sliding arm 2, aiming to provide sufficient space for the deformation of the internal material of the sliding arm 2, thereby avoiding direct contact and mutual extrusion between the materials during the deformation process. Specifically, when the sliding arm 2 is deformed according to the user's adjustment needs, the groove body 21 ensures that the area where the deformation occurs has enough space to accommodate such changes, thereby greatly reducing the noise that may be generated during the deformation process.

[0048] The wearing body 1 and the two sliding arms 2 together enclose a wearing space 3 for accommodating a human head, and a notch of each slot body 21 is formed on a side of the corresponding sliding arm 2 close to the wearing space 3 .

[0049] Since the side of the sliding arm 2 close to the wearing space 3 is usually the area with the largest deformation, this position arrangement of the notch can maximize the use of the space required for deformation provided by the groove body 21, ensuring that the flexible deformation of the sliding arm 2 during the adjustment process is smoother, thereby reducing internal friction and noise during deformation, and improving the comfort and quietness of adjustment. In addition, when the earphones are worn on the user's head, this design also means that the notch and the groove body 21 are partially facing the user, thereby visually hiding the groove body 21, enhancing the aesthetics of the earphones and the neatness when worn.

[0050] Each sliding arm 2 includes a first end 22 and a second end 23. Each first end 22 is arranged in the wearing body 1, and each second end 23 is exposed outside the wearing body 1. A wire inlet 221 connected to the corresponding groove body 21 is formed on the first end 22, and a wire outlet 231 connected to the corresponding groove body 21 is formed on the second end 23. The wire inlet 221, the groove body 21 and the wire outlet 231 are used for wiring.

[0051] Integrating the wiring path inside the sliding arm 2 not only ensures the safety of the electrical connection line and the neatness and appearance of the earphones, but also avoids the entanglement or damage problems that may be caused by external wiring. In addition, since the wire inlet 221 is located at the first end 22 of the sliding arm 2 (i.e., inside the wearing body 1), and the wire outlet 231 is located at the second end 23 (exposed outside the wearing body 1), such a layout enables the earphones to maintain the stability of the electrical connection line and the continuity of the wiring path when adjusting the sliding arm 2 to adapt to different user head shapes, and the normal use of the earphones will not be affected by the deformation of the sliding arm 2.

[0052] A clamping assembly 24 is provided on the groove wall of the groove body 21 , and the clamping assembly 24 includes two clamping blocks 241 . The two clamping blocks 241 are arranged opposite to each other, and each clamping block 241 protrudes from the groove wall of the groove body 21 . The electrical connection line of the earphone is clamped between the two clamping blocks 241 .

[0053] By arranging a clamping assembly 24 with two clamping blocks 241 on the groove wall, the electrical connection line of the earphone can be firmly clamped between the two clamping blocks 241. The beneficial effect brought about by this design is that it provides a more stable fixing method for the internal wiring of the earphone, ensuring that the electrical connection line is not easy to loosen or fall off during use, thereby ensuring the stability of the earphone circuit and the reliability of the earphone. Especially when the earphone is frequently adjusted in size or used in activities such as sports, the clamping assembly 24 can effectively prevent the electrical connection line from being displaced due to frequent movement or external force, reducing possible damage or failure of the line, and improving the durability and safety of the earphone.

[0054] The number of the clamping components 24 is at least two, and at least two clamping components 24 are spaced apart in the length direction of the slot body 21 .

[0055] This distribution strategy allows the electrical connection line to be fixed at multiple points along the entire routing path, thereby more evenly dispersing the force on the wire during the entire use process. At the same time, this also provides better adaptability and flexibility for the electrical connection line when the sliding arm 2 is deformed or adjusted, ensuring that no matter how the earphone is adjusted in size, the routing path of the electrical connection line can remain stable, and the fixing effect of the clamping assembly 24 on the electrical connection line will not be weakened or ineffective due to the movement of the sliding arm 2.

[0056] The outer surface of the clamping block 241 is an arc-shaped surface.

[0057] This design reduces the wear or damage that may be caused to the electrical connection wires by sharp angles or irregular surfaces, and also reduces the discomfort that the user may feel during wearing, especially when the earphones are close to the skin or used during exercise. In addition, the curved clamping block 241 provides a smoother and more harmonious experience both visually and tactilely, enhancing the beauty and detail considerations of the entire earphone design.

[0058] The groove wall surface of the groove body 21 is an arc-shaped surface.

[0059] The curved groove wall surface more naturally matches the shape of the electrical connection line, reducing the wear or damage of the wire caused by right angles or sharp edges, increasing the smoothness of the internal structure of the headset, thereby improving the stability and safety of the routing. In addition, the curved surface provides a softer and more harmonious feeling in terms of vision and touch, improving the user's touch experience, while also enhancing the overall design of the product, making the headset not only meet user needs in terms of functionality, but also reach higher standards in terms of aesthetics and comfort.

[0060] The depth of the groove 21 is greater than the diameter of the electrical connection line of the earphone.

[0061] This design allows the electrical connection wire to be completely embedded in the slot 21, which not only avoids physical damage that may be caused by the wire being exposed to the outside, such as damage caused by shearing, squeezing or environmental factors, but also ensures that during the use of the earphones, even in the case of strenuous exercise or frequent size adjustment, the electrical connection wire can remain stable and is not easily displaced or loosened by external forces. In addition, this design also helps to maintain the beauty and neatness of the earphones, because the electrical connection wire is completely hidden in the slot 21, visually reducing the messy exposure of the wire and enhancing the overall design of the product.

[0062] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
