[0033] Ear clip-on earphones are fixed by clipping on the ears, and are usually designed to be relatively small, which makes them relatively convenient to carry and store. However, due to their small size, they are at risk of being lost and difficult to find when the light is insufficient (such as when used for night running when the light outdoors is insufficient). In the related art, ear clip-on earphones usually include an ear clip part and front and back parts of the ear connected at both ends of the ear clip part. Since they need to fit the auricle, their shape is relatively simple and the appearance is monotonous, which is not attractive enough to consumers.

[0034] The present invention provides an ear clip type earphone. Please refer to the accompanying drawings. In one embodiment of the present invention, the ear clip type earphone 100 includes an ear clip portion 20, an ear front portion (not shown in the figure), an ear rear portion 10, and a light guide 23. The ear clip portion 20 is bent and extended to be attached to the auricle. The ear clip portion 20 is at least partially light-transmissive to form a first light-transmissive portion 21. The ear front portion is connected to one end of the ear clip portion 20 ( Figure 2 The front part of the ear includes a sound outlet, and the front part of the ear is used to be located in the concha cavity; the rear part of the ear 10 is connected to the other end of the ear clip part 20 ( Figure 2The ear-rear portion 10 comprises an inner cavity, and a circuit board 30 and a light source arranged in the inner cavity, and the ear-rear portion 10 is used to be located on the back side of the auricle; one end of the light guide 23 extends into the ear clip portion 20 to have a light emitting surface 25 corresponding to the first light-transmitting portion 21, and the other end of the light guide 23 extends into the inner cavity to have a light incident surface 24 corresponding to the light source, and the light guide 23 is used to guide the light emitted by the light source to the ear clip portion 20 and transmit it from the first light-transmitting portion 21.

[0035] According to the technical solution of the present invention, the light guide 23 is used to guide the light emitted by the light source to the ear clip portion 20 and transmit it from the first light-transmitting portion 21. The ear clip type earphone 100 has a luminous effect at the first light-transmitting portion 21 to avoid a monotonous appearance. In an environment with insufficient light, the first light-transmitting portion 21 can be accurately identified and located, which is convenient for users to find the ear clip type earphone 100, thereby improving the aesthetics of the product, enhancing its attractiveness to consumers, and improving the safety of use in an environment with insufficient light.

[0036] The present application does not impose any specific restrictions on the connection method between the light guide 23 and the ear clip 20. For example, the ear clip 20 may also be provided with a cavity, one end of the light guide 23 extends into the cavity, and the cavity wall of the cavity is partially transparent to form the first light-transmitting portion 21. It is understandable that, for comfortable wearing, the ear clip 20 is made of soft rubber material, such as PVC (polyvinyl chloride) soft rubber, TPE (thermoplastic elastomer, a polymer composite material based on thermoplastic styrene-butadiene rubber SEBS, SBS), silicone, etc., and soft rubber material is not easy to shape the cavity.

[0037] In an embodiment of the utility model, the material of the ear clip part 20 includes a light-transmitting material, and one end of the light guide 23 is pre-buried in the ear clip part 20, so that the portion of the ear clip part 20 corresponding to the light-emitting surface 25 forms the first light-transmitting portion 21. In this way, the ear clip part 20 is solid, and one end of the light guide 23 is pre-buried in the ear clip part 20. The light emitted from the light-emitting surface 25 of the light guide 23 directly enters the first light-transmitting portion 21, and the light transmission efficiency is high and the light-emitting effect is good. Specifically, the ear clip part 20 and the light guide 23 are made by a mold embedding injection process.

[0038] Specifically, TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) and certain types of silicone have good light transmittance. TPE can be made into transparent or translucent products, and certain types of silicone can also be made into transparent products, and have good high temperature resistance. Therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, the material of the ear clip portion 20 includes one of light-transmitting TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) and light-transmitting silicone.

[0039] The present invention does not limit the material of the light guide 23. The light guide 23 includes one of PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), PC (polycarbonate), and PS (polystyrene). PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) is also called acrylic, and has good transparency and processing performance. PC (polycarbonate) has high impact strength and heat resistance. PS (polystyrene) has relatively low cost and good transparency, but its hardness and heat resistance are not as good as PMMA and PC. Specifically, the light guide 23 is a composite material of PC (polycarbonate) + 20% GF (glass fiber), which is a mixture of polycarbonate (PC) and 20% glass fiber, combining the high transparency, high heat resistance and high impact resistance of PC with the high strength and rigidity of glass fiber.

[0040] In order to improve the uniformity of light output from the light guide 23, a diffusant is added to the light guide 23. If the concentration of the diffusant added to the light guide 23 is low, the ability of the light guide 23 to diffuse light will be weakened, and the light output surface 25 will be uneven and the distance will be shortened. In an embodiment of the present invention, the concentration ratio of the added diffusant is 0.1% to 2%, and specifically, the diffusant concentration is 0.5%.

[0041] The present application does not impose any specific restriction on the connection method between the light guide 23 and the back of the ear 10. In an embodiment of the utility model, the material of the ear clip portion 20 includes a light-transmitting material, one end of the light guide 23 is pre-embedded in the ear clip portion 20, so that the portion of the ear clip portion 20 corresponding to the light emitting surface 25 forms the first light-transmitting portion 21, and the other end of the light guide 23 extends into the inner cavity and is fixedly connected to the cavity wall of the inner cavity. In this way, one end of the light guide 23 is fixedly connected to the ear clip portion 20 by pre-embedding, and the other end is fixedly connected to the back of the ear 10 by fixed connection with the cavity wall of the inner cavity. The light guide 23 not only plays a light-guiding role, but also plays a fixed connection role, which can reduce the setting of the connection structure between the ear clip portion 20 and the back of the ear 10 and reduce production costs.

[0042] In the embodiment of the utility model, the side of the other end of the light guide 23 is provided with a first protrusion 26, and the cavity wall of the inner cavity is correspondingly provided with a groove (not shown in the figure), and the first protrusion 26 is inserted into the groove, so that the light guide 23 is fixedly connected to the cavity wall of the inner cavity. The fixing method of the first protrusion 26 and the groove insertion has the advantages of simple structure and convenient installation, which is conducive to reducing installation time and labor cost. Specifically, the two opposite side portions of the other end of the light guide 23 are provided with the first protrusion 26, and the cavity wall of the inner cavity is correspondingly provided with two grooves. This symmetrical design enhances the stability of the connection and the strength of the connection. The cooperation of multiple first protrusions 26 and the grooves makes the connection not easy to loosen, and improves the reliability of the connection.

[0043] The present invention does not limit the type of the light source. For example, the light source is a fiber optic lighting, an OLED light, a laser light, etc. These light sources can be made relatively small, easy to install in the inner cavity, and do not take up too much space. The present invention does not specifically limit the installation method of the light source. For example, the light source can be fixedly connected to the cavity wall of the inner cavity. In an embodiment of the present invention, the light source includes an LED lamp 31, and the LED lamp 31 is installed on the circuit board 30. The LED lamp 31 is cheap, has high energy efficiency and a longer service life, and does not need to be replaced frequently. The circuit board 30 is used to provide power supply and control wiring for the LED lamp 31. The structure is intensive, which is conducive to reducing production and use costs. Specifically, the circuit board 30 includes a PCB substrate 32, and the LED lamp 31 is welded to the PCB substrate 32.

[0044] In an embodiment of the present invention, at least a portion of the cavity wall of the inner cavity is light-transmissive to form a second light-transmissive portion 11, and the light of the light source can be transmitted from the second light-transmissive portion 11. In this way, the ear-clip earphone 100 has a luminous effect in both the first light-transmissive portion 21 and the second light-transmissive portion 11, thereby increasing the luminous area, further improving the aesthetics of the product, enhancing its attractiveness to consumers, and improving the safety of use in environments with insufficient light.

[0045] In an embodiment of the utility model, a plurality of second light-transmitting portions 11 are formed on the cavity wall of the inner cavity. Thus, by arranging a plurality of second light-transmitting portions 11 on the cavity wall of the inner cavity, the light emitted by the light source can be more evenly distributed on the surface of the rear ear portion 10, thereby providing a more consistent visual effect. The arrangement of a plurality of second light-transmitting portions 11 can create a unique lighting effect, enhance the aesthetics and attractiveness of the product, and make it more recognizable in the market.

[0046] In an embodiment of the utility model, the ear clip portion 20 includes an inner side facing the auricle and an outer side away from the auricle, and the first light-transmitting portion 21 is at least formed on the outer side of the ear clip portion 20. It can be understood that the inner side of the ear clip portion 20 faces the auricle when worn and is not easily observed. The first light-transmitting portion 21 is at least formed on the outer side of the ear clip portion 20. The first light-transmitting portion 21 is easier to observe, thereby ensuring the luminous effect of the ear clip portion 20 and improving the aesthetics of the product.

[0047] In an embodiment of the utility model, the ear-behind portion 10 includes an inner side facing the auricle and an outer side facing away from the auricle, and the second light-transmitting portion 11 is at least formed on the outer side of the ear-behind portion 10. It can be understood that the inner side of the ear-behind portion 10 faces the auricle when worn and is not easily observed. The second light-transmitting portion 11 is at least formed on the outer side of the ear-behind portion 10. The second light-transmitting portion 11 is more easily observed, ensuring the luminous effect of the ear-behind portion 10 and improving the aesthetics of the product. The above two embodiments can exist either one or both.

[0048] In an embodiment of the utility model, the back-of-the-ear portion 10 includes a docking groove 12 connected to the inner cavity, and one end of the ear clip portion 20 is inserted into the docking groove 12. In this way, the connection between the back-of-the-ear portion 10 and the ear clip portion 20 is more stable and reliable, which is conducive to ensuring the connection strength and improving product quality.

[0049] In order to prevent light leakage between the ear clip part 20 and the ear rear part 10, in one embodiment of the present invention, the side of the ear clip part 20 inserted into the docking groove 12 is provided with a second protrusion 22, and the second protrusion 22 is interfered with the inner wall of the docking groove 12 to improve the sealing between the ear clip part 20 and the inner wall of the docking groove 12 to prevent light leakage. Specifically, the second protrusion 22 is arranged along the circumference of the ear clip part 20, increasing the contact area with the inner wall of the docking groove 12, thereby improving the sealing performance, and also enhancing the overall structural strength and service life of the product.

[0050] In another embodiment of the present invention, the ear clip type earphone 100 further includes a light shielding member (not shown in the figure) sandwiched between the ear clip portion 20 and the inner wall of the docking groove 12, so that the light shielding member prevents light leakage between the ear clip portion 20 and the rear ear portion 10, thereby improving the aesthetics. Specifically, the light shielding member is made of materials such as TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer rubber) and silicone TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), which has good sealing performance and prevents light leakage.

[0051] The above description is only an exemplary 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 technical 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.
