[0087] For example, see Figure 7 The ear hook 30 can be implemented as a head-mounted ear hook, and the head-mounted ear hook and Figure 6 The difference of the hook-type ear hook shown is that the extension arc of the head-mounted ear hook is longer than the extension length of the hook-type ear hook, and the ear hooks of the two earphones are connected together. By setting the head-mounted ear hook, it is possible to reduce the burden of weight on the ear to provide comfort when worn.
[0088] In the embodiments of the present application, the specific structure and type of the ear hook 30 are not limited. For example, the ear hook 30 can be an ear hook structure, a neck hook structure, or a head-mounted bone conduction headset, etc. The present application does not make specific limitations on this. It should be noted that the detachable connection method between the ear hook 30 and the earphone housing 10 includes, but is not limited to: plug connection, threaded connection, snap connection, contact connection, etc. It is only necessary to satisfy that the ear hook 30 and the earphone housing 10 are detachably connected, and the present application does not make specific limitations on this.
[0089] In the embodiment of the present application, different types of ear hooks can be replaced according to actual needs. It is only necessary to ensure that the ear hook 30 is provided with a second connector corresponding to the first connector on the main connecting part 140. In this way, the connection between the earphone housing 10 and the ear hook 30 can be achieved by connecting the corresponding second connector of the ear hook 30 to the first connector of the main connecting part 140.
[0090] In one possible implementation, Figure 1 As shown, a protective member 126 may be provided on the first connecting member on the general connecting portion 140. The protective member 126 may be implemented in the form of a cap.

[0092] In the embodiment of the present application, the wireless module is a Bluetooth module, which is arranged on the circuit board 210. The circuit board 210 includes a first PCB board 270 and a second PCB board 280. The first PCB board 270 is in a straight strip shape, and the first PCB board 270 is arranged in the first receiving cavity, and the first PCB board 270 is electrically connected to the second PCB board 280.
[0093] In one possible implementation, a charging module (not shown) is provided on the first PCB board 270, and the charging module may be a charging circuit.

[0094] In the embodiment of the present application, if there is sufficient space between the first housing portion 111 and the second housing portion 121, the bone conduction earphone 1 can be provided with only one PCB board, and all the circuit parts are concentrated on one PCB board. Alternatively, the first PCB board 270 is not necessarily provided in the first receiving cavity, but can also be directly provided in the second receiving cavity, which can be set according to actual production needs, and the present application does not make specific limitations on this.
[0095] In the embodiment of the present application, the bone conduction vibrator 220 is in a round shape, a portion of the bone conduction vibrator 220 is disposed in the first receiving groove 112, and another portion of the bone conduction vibrator 220 is exposed from one end of the first receiving groove 112. The portion of the bone conduction vibrator 220 disposed in the first receiving groove 112 is electrically connected to the second PCB board 280 through a wire from the other end of the first receiving groove 112. The bone conduction vibrator 220 converts the sound signal on the second PCB board 280 into mechanical vibrations of different frequencies, and then the other portion of the bone conduction vibrator 220 exposed from the first receiving groove 112 transmits the signal through the bone contacting the ear.

In one possible implementation, the gap size between the bone conduction vibrator 220 and the battery 230 is 0.2 mm to 3 mm, in one possible implementation, the gap size between the bone conduction vibrator 220 and the battery 230 is 0.2 mm to 1 mm. In one possible implementation, the gap size between the bone conduction vibrator 220 and the battery 230 is 0.5 mm to 1 mm, in one possible implementation, the gap size between the bone conduction vibrator 220 and the battery 230 is 1 mm to 3 mm, and the present application does not make any specific limitation on this.
[0098] By setting a gap between the bone conduction vibrator 220 and the battery 230 , it is possible to ensure that the bone conduction vibrator 220 has enough space, so that the swing amplitude of the bone conduction vibrator 220 is large, while ensuring that the overall space of the bone conduction earphone 1 is small.
[0099] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, by inserting the bone conduction vibrator 220 into the ear, the bone conduction vibrator 220 can directly vibrate the ear bones to transmit sound, thereby improving the sound quality. In one possible implementation, the bone conduction earphone 1 of the present application can directly attach the bone conduction vibrator 220 to the bones for vibration transmission, or attach a protective cover to the outside of the bone conduction vibrator 220, and the bone conduction vibrator 220 fits the bones through the protective cover.
[0100] In one possible implementation, one end of the charging contact 260 is electrically connected to the first PCB board 270 through a spring, and the other end passes through the charging hole 116 to be exposed from the charging hole 116, so as to abut and electrically connect with an external power source to charge the charging module on the first PCB board. For example, when the bone conduction earphone 1 is adsorbed on a charging box (not shown), the charging contact 260 is electrically connected to the external power source in the charging box, and the external power source transmits electrical energy to the charging module through the charging contact 260, and then the charging module charges the battery 230.

The microphone 250 is electrically connected to the circuit board 210 and is used to convert the sound signal into an electrical signal. When the bone conduction earphone 1 is hung on the ear through the ear hook 30, the microphone hole is located below the earphone, close to the mouth, and the microphone 250 collects the sound of the user's speech and converts it into an electrical signal. The microphone 250 can be a dynamic type, a capacitor type, an electret and a silicon micro-microphone, and this application does not specifically limit this.

The signal light is used to indicate the status of the bone conduction headset 1, such as the communication connection status, the charging status, etc. For example, the signal light is electrically connected to the first PCB board 270 to obtain the charging status of the battery 230. When the battery 230 is fully charged, the signal light is used to indicate. When the power of the battery 230 is too low, the signal light is used to indicate. Different states can be indicated by setting different colors of the signal light.
[0105] Please also read Figures 8 to 10 The earplug 200 is disposed on one side of the first housing portion 111, and one side of the earplug 200 is recessed to form a groove 21 that can cover the bone conduction vibrator 220 (see Fig.10 ), the groove 21 covers the other part of the bone conduction vibrator 220 exposed from the first accommodating groove 112, the groove 21 includes an in-ear side 22 facing the ear and a connection side 23 facing the bone conduction vibrator 220, the in-ear side 22 contacts the ear, the in-ear side 22 and the connection side 23 contact the bone conduction vibrator 220, and the contact between the in-ear side 22 and the ear can play a role in conducting vibration.

Under the force, the first protrusion 241 and the second protrusion 242 play a role of positioning and fixing in the ear. At the same time, the first protrusion 241 and the second protrusion 242 of the positioning protrusion 24 contact the ear and can also play a role of transmitting vibration, that is, the first protrusion 241 and the second protrusion 242 can simultaneously increase the contact area with the ear, thereby improving the sound transmission effect.
[0110] In one possible implementation, the positioning protrusion 24 is preferably a silicone protrusion made of silicone material. The silicone protrusion is a soft material, which makes it more comfortable to wear and avoids the positioning protrusion causing discomfort to the wearer.

[0112] In at least one embodiment of the present application, the electronic device 2 is a mobile phone. In other embodiments, the electronic device 2 may also be a portable device such as a personal computer, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a game console, an interactive network television (IPTV), a smart wearable device, a navigation device, or a desktop computer, a digital TV, etc.
[0113] The bone conduction earphone 1 is used to convert the audio in the electronic device 2 into mechanical vibrations of different frequencies. When the user uses the bone conduction earphone 1, the earplug 200 and the bone conduction vibrator 220 covered by the earplug 200 are inserted into the ear, that is, the earplug 200 is inserted into the ear together with the bone conduction vibrator 220 exposed from the first receiving groove 112, which can be inserted into the auricle area or the external auditory canal, so as to realize bone conduction in the ear and improve the listening effect.
[0114] In one possible implementation, when the user uses the bone conduction earphone 1, the wireless communication module in the earphone body 20 communicates with the electronic device 2, and the wireless communication module processes the received signal through the circuit on the circuit board 210 to obtain the corresponding audio signal, and then converts the audio signal into mechanical vibrations of different frequencies through the bone conduction vibrator. The earplug 200 is inserted into the ear together with the other part of the bone conduction vibrator 220 exposed from the first accommodating groove 112, and then transmitted through the following conduction pathway: skull-bone labyrinth-inner ear lymph fluid-spiral device-auditory nerve-cerebral cortex auditory center. Specifically, the mechanical vibration is transmitted to the bone labyrinth through the user's skull, and then the inner ear lymph fluid vibrates, and the spiral device completes the sound perception process, and then the auditory nerve generates nerve impulses and presents them to the auditory center. After comprehensive analysis by the cerebral cortex, the user finally "hears" the sound.
[0115] In the embodiment of the present application, the overall waterproof performance of the earphone is improved through the combined design of the glue layer and the waterproof rubber pad, ensuring its normal use during sports such as running and swimming, thereby improving environmental applicability.
[0116] In summary, the design focus of the present application is that it is mainly through the design of the in-ear structure of the earphone, the in-ear structure includes a bone conduction vibrator 220 and an earplug 200 wrapped around the bone conduction vibrator 220, the earplug 200 is wrapped around the bone conduction vibrator 220, and can protect the bone conduction vibrator 220. At the same time, the earplug 200 and the bone conduction vibrator 220 are inserted into the ear together, and the earplug 200 can conduct the vibration of the bone conduction vibrator 220. The earplug 200 cooperates with the bone conduction vibrator 220 in the earphone to achieve a better effect of conducting vibration and improve the listening effect. The earplug 200 is made of soft silicone material, which can effectively ensure the comfort of wearing, and the positioning protrusion 24 on the earplug 200 can strengthen the positioning and fixation of the bone conduction earphone 1, which solves the problem of low sound, unclear hearing and other discomfort caused by loose in-ear wearing, avoids the phenomenon of easy falling off of the earphone, and improves the user experience. Secondly, by setting the first connecting piece on the earphone housing 10, it is possible to replace different ear hooks 30, which is more practical.

As long as they are within the spirit and scope of the present application, appropriate changes and modifications to the above embodiments should fall within the scope of protection claimed in the present application.
