[0038] Figures 2 to 10 It is the accompanying drawing of the present invention.

[0039] This embodiment provides a multi-support point headset, see Figures 4 to 8 , including a main cavity 10, an ear hook 20 and a sub-cavity 30. The main cavity 10 is connected to the sub-cavity 30 through the ear hook 20. The main cavity 10 is used to install a speaker, and the main cavity 10 is located on the front side of the ear 32. The main cavity 10 is provided with a sound outlet 11 near the ear canal. The ear hook 20 is used to surround the upper and rear sides of the ear 32. The sub-cavity 30 is used to contact the rear side of the ear 32. The ear hook 20 contacts the upper and rear sides of the ear 32, and the main cavity 10 contacts the front side of the ear 32, and the sub-cavity 30 contacts the rear side of the ear 32, so that the entire earphone structure is surrounded from the front, upper and rear sides of the ear 32, making it more secure to wear.

[0040] The main cavity 10 extends from the front side or front side of the ear 32 to the ear canal, and the main cavity 10 has a contact surface with the ear 32, making it more secure to wear. In this embodiment, the main cavity 10 extends obliquely from the front and upper part of the ear 32 to the entrance of the ear canal. The oblique setting is conducive to the user's control of the main cavity 10.

[0041] Specifically, the main cavity 10 is provided with a first support portion 12 for stopping against the auricle. The first support portion 12 is in surface contact or point contact with the antihelix 40. The first support portion 12 is provided at the end of the main cavity 10 so that the main cavity 10 is supported by force. The first support portion 12 is provided near the sound outlet 11 of the main cavity 10 so that the main cavity 10 can remain stable when the speaker is working, thereby preventing the main cavity 10 from being disturbed by the vibration of the speaker.

[0042] The main cavity 10 is provided with a second support portion 13. The second support portion 13 is used to stop against the skin 43 in front of the helix, the front part 44 of the helix, the notch 42 on the tragus, and the upper part 41 of the tragus. The second support portion 13 is a side of the main cavity 10 close to the human head. The second support portion 13 is in surface contact, so that the contact area between the main cavity 10 and the ear 32 is increased, point contact is avoided, contact force is dispersed, and wearing comfort is increased.

[0043] The ear hook 20 is provided with a third supporting portion 21. The third supporting portion 21 is used to stop at the upper ear root 45, the groove on the antihelix 46, and the triangular fossa ridge 47. The ear hook 20 is a curved structure, wherein the degree of curvature is the same as the curvature of the root of the human ear 32. The third supporting portion 21 is in surface contact, which increases the contact area, reduces the pressure on the ear 32 exerted by the earphone, and improves comfort. The cross-section of the ear hook 20 is circular, elliptical, runway-shaped, etc., and can also be other special-shaped bodies with arc transitions, so as to increase the contact surface when worn and improve the wearing comfort. The ear hook 20 is a curved structure, which can be a splicing of multiple arc-shaped structures, and the arc transition makes it similar to the contour of the ear 32.

[0044] Since the third support part 21 bears most of the weight of the earphone, increasing the contact surface of the third support part 21 is beneficial to improving the wearing comfort. The third support part 21 not only contacts the upper ear root 45, the upper foot groove of the antihelix 46, and the triangular fossa protuberance 47, but also contacts the side of the head.

[0045] The secondary cavity 30 is provided with a fourth supporting portion 31. The fourth supporting portion 31 is used to stop at the ridge of the concha 50, the helical groove 49, the antihelical groove 51, and the ridge of the concha cavity 48. The fourth supporting portion 31 is a side surface facing the back of the ear 32. The fourth supporting portion 31 is in surface contact, which improves the comfort when wearing. In addition to contacting the ridge of the concha 50, the helical groove 49, the antihelical groove 51, and the ridge of the concha cavity 48, the fourth supporting portion 31 also contacts the side of the back of the head.

[0046] The sub-cavity 30 is provided with a cavity for installing electronic components, wherein the electronic components may be batteries, circuit boards, etc. In order for the earphones to have a longer battery life, the volume of the sub-cavity 30 is designed to be as large as possible so as to accommodate a larger battery. When the earphones are worn, the sub-cavity 30 extends in the direction of the earlobe, and the direction of extension is the length direction of the sub-cavity 30. The tangent connecting the sub-cavity 30 and the ear hook 20 forms an angle of 120 to 150° with the axis of the sub-cavity 30 along the length direction, so that the sub-cavity 30 can "hook" the lower side of the ear 32, making it difficult for the earphones to fall off when worn.

[0047] Preferably, the ear hook 20 is made of memory material, so that the relative positions of the main cavity 10, the ear hook 20 and the auxiliary cavity 30 can be adjusted, and the adjusted shapes can be maintained after adjustment.

[0048] Preferably, the ear hook 20 is a tubular structure, through which wires for electrically connecting the battery to electronic components such as speakers pass.

[0049] Preferably, the outer sides of the main cavity 10, the ear hook 20 and the auxiliary cavity 30 are wrapped with a soft rubber layer, so that they have good skin-friendliness when worn.

[0050] A rear sound hole is provided on one side of the main cavity 10 facing away from the ear canal to improve the sound effect of the earphone. A sound pickup hole for a microphone is also provided on the outside of the main cavity 10.

[0051] There are many different wearing states, and the force applied to the various supporting parts of the headset is different in different wearing states. Fig. 9 , the most typical example is that the third support part 21, the fourth support part 31, and the second support part 13 are used as the support area to support the earphone. For better explanation, a coordinate system is introduced for further explanation. The outer direction of the ear 32 is the positive direction of the X-axis, the back direction of the ear 32 is the positive direction of the Y-axis, and the upper direction of the ear 32 is the positive direction of the Z-axis. Then, the gravity G of the earphone is vertically downward, the force on the third support part 21 is F21a=F21z+F21y+F21z, the force on the second support part 13 is F13a=F13x, and the force on the fourth support part 31 is F31a=F31z+F31y+F31z, then the gravity G=F21a+F13a+F31a.

[0052] See also Fig.10, another typical force situation is that the first support part 12, the third support part 21, and the fourth support part 31 are used as the support area to support the earphone. Similarly, a coordinate system is introduced for further explanation. The outer direction of the ear 32 is the positive direction of the X-axis, the back direction of the ear 32 is the positive direction of the Y-axis, and the upper direction of the ear 32 is the positive direction of the Z-axis. Then, the gravity G of the earphone is vertically downward, the force on the first support part 12 is F12b=F12x+F12y+F12z, the force on the third support part 21 is F21b=F21z+F21y+F21z, and the force on the fourth support part 31 is F31b=F31z+F31y+F31z, then the gravity G=F12b+F21b+F31b.

[0053] Compared with the prior art, the present invention designs the support area of ​​the earphone so that the earphone is better matched with the ear 32 and the force is more evenly distributed, thereby preventing the earphone from falling off or loosening, reducing fatigue of the ear 32 caused by long-term wearing, and improving wearing comfort.

[0054] 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.
