[0029] Figures 1 to 5 It is the accompanying drawing of the present invention.
[0030] This embodiment provides an ear clip structure for earphones, see Figures 1 to 5 , including a main cavity 10, an ear hook structure 20 and a sub-cavity 30. The main cavity 10 is connected to the sub-cavity 30 through the ear hook structure 20. The ear hook structure 20 is a curved structure, so that the ear hook structure 20 is used to extend from the front side of the ear 40 around the upper side of the ear 40 and along the auricle to the back side of the ear 40. The main cavity 10 is used to extend to the entrance of the ear canal. The sub-cavity 30 structure is located at the back side of the ear 40 and stops at the auricle at the back side of the ear 40.
[0031] The ear hook structure 20 is a curved structure, which is used to fit the upper side and the back side of the ear 40, so that the earphone can be well fixed on the ear 40. Preferably, the ear hook structure 20 is made of memory material, which can adapt to ears 40 of different sizes when worn, and after adjusting the angle according to the size of the ear 40, the shape of the ear hook structure 20 can be fixed, which is convenient for the next wearing.
[0032] The main cavity 10 is used to install the speaker. The main cavity 10 is provided with a sound outlet 11 connected to the sound outlet of the speaker. The earphone is a non-in-ear earphone. The sound emitted by the speaker in the main cavity 10 can be transmitted to the ear 40 through the sound outlet 11, so that the ear 40 can hear the sound of the speaker and the sound of the outside world at the same time.
[0033] When the earphone is worn on the ear 40, the main cavity 10 extends from the front or upper side of the ear 40 to the ear canal. The sound outlet 11 is located at the front side of the ear canal. The main cavity 10 is arranged at the front side of the ear canal in a suspended manner to avoid fatigue caused to the user like in-ear earphones. The main cavity 10 extends from the front or upper side of the ear 40 to the ear canal in an inclined manner to reduce the shaking of the main cavity 10.
[0034] The axis of the main cavity 10 along the length direction and the tangent connecting the ear hook structure 20 and the main cavity 10 form a first angle C. The first angle C is 58 to 73 degrees. The length of the main cavity 10 extends forward from the end connected to the ear hook structure 20. When worn, the length of the main cavity 10 extends from the position near the temple on the upper side of the ear 40 toward the position of the ear canal, and the extension direction is the length direction. The setting of the first angle C is conducive to fixing the earphone on the upper side of the ear 40, forming a first support area on the upper side of the ear 40.
[0035] The axis of the auxiliary cavity 30 along the length direction forms a second angle A with the axial direction of the main cavity 10 along the length direction. The second angle A is 77 to 83 degrees. Similarly, the length direction of the auxiliary cavity 30 extends forward from the end connected to the ear hook structure 20. When worn, the auxiliary cavity 30 extends from the auricle on the back side of the ear 40 toward the earlobe, and the extension direction is the length direction. Among them, the side of the auxiliary cavity 30 contacts the back side of the ear 40 to form a second support area.
[0036] In fact, the main cavity 10 has certain contact points on the front side of the ear 40. For example, the end of the main cavity 10 forms a contact point with the auricle. Therefore, the interaction between the main cavity 10 and the sub-cavity 30 allows the earphone to be constrained in the front and back, up and down, and left and right directions to ensure the firmness of wearing.
[0037] The tangent connecting the ear hook structure 20 and the auxiliary cavity 30 forms a third angle B with the auxiliary cavity 30. The third angle B is 45 to 60 degrees. The setting of the third angle B is conducive to the contact between the side of the auxiliary cavity 3 and the back of the ear 40, ensuring the contact area of the second support area.
[0038] Preferably, a touch panel 12 for control is provided outside the main cavity 10. Since it is troublesome to take off the earphone for control after wearing it, the touch panel 12 is provided outside the main cavity 10 so that the earphone can be controlled without taking it off from the ear 40.
[0039] Preferably, the touch panel 12 is tilted, and the tilting direction is opposite to the length of the main cavity 10. However, it is not enough if the touch panel 12 is only tilted in the length direction of the main cavity 10. Other angles are also required so that the user can control the touch panel 12 well when wearing it. Therefore, the touch panel 12 and the main cavity 10 form a fourth angle E along the width direction, and the fourth angle is 8 to 15°. The touch panel 12 and the main cavity 10 form a fifth angle F in the length direction, and the fifth angle is 2 to 8°. The design of the touch panel 12 enhances the sense of operation.
[0040] The center line of the main cavity 10 projected downward and the center line of the ear hook structure 20 projected downward form a fourth angle D. The fourth angle D is 20 to 30 degrees. The setting of the fourth angle D effectively clamps the earphone on the ear 40.
[0041] The secondary cavity 30 is used to set the battery. Since the secondary cavity 30 is set at the rear side of the ear 40, the secondary cavity 30 can be as large as possible to accommodate a larger battery and improve the battery life.
[0042] In order to make the earphone more secure when worn, the center of gravity of the earphone is located on the vertical line of the contact point between the ear hook structure 20 and the upper side of the ear 40.
[0043] The auxiliary cavity 30 is provided with a contact surface for contacting the outer side of the auricle, the main cavity 10 is also provided with a contact surface for contacting the front side of the ear 40, and the ear hook structure 20 is also provided with a contact surface for contacting the front side of the ear 40, so that the contact area is increased and the wearing is more secure.
[0044] Among them, the outer sides of the main cavity 10, the ear hook structure 20 and the auxiliary cavity 30 are all provided with soft glue, making the earphone more skin-friendly.
[0045] This headset adjusts the angle between the ear hook structure 20 and the main cavity 10 and the auxiliary cavity 30, and continuously makes prototypes and tests them on different groups of people to obtain the best angle design. The design of this special angle solves the defect that the sound of ear hook headphones tends to weaken or disappear. Due to the reasonable design of the angle, a larger volume of the auxiliary cavity 30 is allowed, so that the battery capacity of the headset is greater than that of ordinary ear hook headphones. The reasonable angle design makes the touch area more suitable for human instinctive gestures and improves the user experience.
[0046] Compared with the prior art, the present invention reasonably designs the angles between the main cavity 10, the ear hook structure 20 and the auxiliary cavity 30, so that the earphone is more suitable for the contour of the human ear 40, is not easy to fall off when worn, and can effectively eliminate wearing fatigue.
[0047] The above examples are only used to further illustrate the technical content of the present invention, so that readers can understand it more easily, but they do not mean that the implementation of the present invention is limited to this. Any technical extension or re-creation made according to the present invention is protected by the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the claims.
