Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of wearable device technology, and specifically relates to a wearable device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of smart wearable technology, smart wearable devices such as virtual reality (VR) glasses and augmented reality (AR) glasses are being used more and more widely. Smart wearable devices need to use wired or wireless methods to achieve sound access.

[0003] In related technologies, there are two main ways to access sound in smart wearable devices. One way is to connect an external, independent headphone device to the wearable device, which is detachably connected to the wearable device and uses the headphone device to play sound. The other way is to integrate an adjustable headphone module into the wearable device and use the headphone module to play sound.

[0004] However, whether using external headphones or integrated headphone modules, it is difficult to achieve flexible switching between internal and external sound output in wearable devices, which cannot meet the user's needs in different application scenarios and affects the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application aims to provide a wearable device that at least solves one of the problems in the related technology of making it difficult to flexibly switch between internal and external sound playback in wearable devices, thus failing to meet the user's needs in different application scenarios.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application is implemented as follows:

[0007] This application provides a wearable device, including: a device body, an earphone shell, an audio module, and an adjustment slider;

[0008] The earphone shell is movably connected to the device body, and the earphone shell can move relative to the device body to switch between a first position and a second position;

[0009] The earphone shell has a guide groove, and the adjustment slider is slidably connected to the guide groove; the audio module is disposed in the device body or the earphone shell, and the adjustment slider has a first sound guide channel, which is connected to the audio module;

[0010] The earphone shell has a first internal sound outlet on the side facing the device body, and a first external sound outlet on the side away from the device body; the adjusting slider has a second internal sound outlet and a second external sound outlet on opposite sides, which are respectively connected to the first sound guide channel.

[0011] When the earphone shell is in the first position, the adjustment slider is slid to a position where the first external speaker hole and the second external speaker hole are connected, and the wearable device is in external speaker mode;

[0012] When the earphone shell is in the second position, the adjustment slider is slid to a position where the first internal sound outlet and the second internal sound outlet are connected, and the wearable device is in earphone mode.

[0013] In embodiments of this application, the wearable device includes a device body, an earphone shell, an audio module, and an adjustment slider. The earphone shell is movable relative to the device body to switch between a first position and a second position. A movable adjustment slider is provided inside the earphone shell, such that a first sound guide channel within the adjustment slider is connected to the audio module. A first internal sound outlet and a first external sound outlet are respectively provided on opposite sides of the earphone shell, and a second internal sound outlet and a second external sound outlet, connected to the first sound guide channel, are respectively provided on opposite sides of the adjustment slider. By adjusting the slider's movement within the guide groove, the connection position between the sound outlet on the slider and the sound outlet on the earphone shell can be changed. When the earphone shell is in the first position, the slider slides to a position where the first and second external sound outlets are connected, and the sound emitted by the audio module is transmitted outward through the first external sound outlet of the earphone shell, putting the wearable device in external speaker mode. When the earphone shell is in the second position, the slider slides to a position where the first and second internal sound outlets are connected, and the sound emitted by the audio module is transmitted outward through the first internal sound outlet of the earphone shell, putting the wearable device in earphone mode. This allows for flexible switching between earphone mode and external speaker mode, meeting user needs in different application scenarios and improving the user experience.

[0038] The wearable device provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a wearable device according to some embodiments of this application includes: a device body 100, an earphone shell 200, an audio module 300, and an adjustment slider 400. The earphone shell 200 is movably connected to the device body 100 and can move relative to the device body 100 to switch between a first position and a second position. The earphone shell 200 has a guide groove 201, and the adjustment slider 400 is slidably connected within the guide groove 201. The audio module 300 is disposed in either the device body 100 or the earphone shell 200. The adjustment slider 400 has a first sound guide channel 401, which communicates with the audio module 300. The earphone shell 200 has a first internal sound outlet 202 on the side facing the device body 100 and a first external sound outlet 203 on the side away from the device body 100. The adjustment slider 400 has a second internal sound outlet 402 and a second external sound outlet 403 communicating with the first sound guide channel 401 on opposite sides. With the earphone housing 200 in the first position, the adjustment slider 400 is slid to the position where the first external speaker hole 203 and the second external speaker hole 403 are connected, and the wearable device is in external speaker mode; with the earphone housing 200 in the second position, the adjustment slider 400 is slid to the position where the first internal speaker hole 202 and the second internal speaker hole 402 are connected, and the wearable device is in earphone mode.

[0040] In this embodiment, the wearable device includes a device body 100, an earphone shell 200, an audio module 300, and an adjustment slider 400. The earphone shell 200 is movable relative to the device body 100 to switch between a first position and a second position. A movable adjustment slider 400 is provided inside the earphone shell 200, so that a first sound guide channel 401 inside the adjustment slider 400 is connected to the audio module 300. A first internal sound outlet 202 and a first external sound outlet 203 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the earphone shell 200, and a second internal sound outlet 402 and a second external sound outlet 403 connected to the first sound guide channel 401 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the adjustment slider 400. By adjusting the slider 400's movement within the guide groove 201, the connection position between the sound outlet on the slider 400 and the sound outlet on the earphone housing 200 can be changed. When the earphone housing 200 is in the first position, the slider 400 slides to a position where the first external speaker hole 203 and the second external speaker hole 403 are connected. The sound emitted by the audio module 300 is transmitted outward through the first external speaker hole 203 of the earphone housing 200, and the wearable device is in external speaker mode. When the earphone housing 200 is in the second position, the slider 400 slides to a position where the first internal speaker hole 202 and the second internal speaker hole 402 are connected. The sound emitted by the audio module 300 is transmitted outward through the first internal speaker hole 202 of the earphone housing 200, and the wearable device is in earphone mode. This allows for flexible switching between earphone mode and external speaker mode, meeting user needs in different application scenarios and improving the user experience.

[0041] Specifically, the wearable devices in this application embodiment include, but are not limited to: Virtual Reality (VR) glasses, Augmented Reality (AR) glasses, Mixed Reality (MR) glasses, smart headphones, smartwatches, etc. The wearable device includes a device body 100 and an audio module 300. The device body 100 is in contact with the human body when worn by the user, and the audio module 300 is used to emit the sound signals required by the user.

[0042] The device body 100 is movably connected to an earphone shell 200. An adjustment slider 400 is provided inside the earphone shell 200, and a first sound guide channel 401 is provided inside the adjustment slider 400. The first sound guide channel 401 is connected to the audio module 300, allowing sound emitted by the audio module 300 to be transmitted to the earphone shell 200 via the first sound guide channel 401. Furthermore, by providing a first sound outlet on the earphone shell 200 and a second sound outlet on the adjustment slider 400 that is connected to the first sound guide channel 401, the sound emitted by the audio module 300 can be transmitted outward sequentially through the first sound guide channel 401, the second sound outlet, and the first sound outlet, thus realizing the sound playback function of the wearable device.

[0043] Specifically, the earphone housing 200 can move relative to the device body 100 so that the earphone housing 200 can switch between a first position and a second position. When the earphone housing 200 is in the first position, the earphone housing 200 is attached to the device body 100; when the earphone housing 200 is in the second position, the earphone housing 200 is at least partially detached from the device body 100.

[0044] like Figures 8 to 10 As shown, a guide groove 201 is provided inside the earphone housing 200, and an adjusting slider 400 is slidably connected within the guide groove 201. The audio module 300 can be disposed in the device body 100 or the earphone housing 200. The audio module 300 is at least partially movably connected to the adjusting slider 400, and the first sound guide channel 401 inside the adjusting slider 400 is connected to the sound output end of the audio module 300.

[0045] Among them, such as Figure 8 As shown, the first sound outlet of the earphone housing 200 may include a first internal sound outlet 202 and a first external sound outlet 203. The first internal sound outlet 202 is located on the side of the earphone housing 200 facing the device body 100, and the first external sound outlet 203 is located on the side of the earphone housing 200 away from the device body 100.

[0046] Accordingly, such as Figure 10 As shown, the second sound outlet of the adjusting slider 400 may include a second internal sound outlet 402 and a second external sound outlet 403. The second internal sound outlet 402 is located on the side of the adjusting slider 400 facing the device body 100, and the second external sound outlet 403 is located on the side of the adjusting slider 400 away from the device body 100. Both the second internal sound outlet 402 and the second external sound outlet 403 are connected to the first sound guiding channel 401.

[0047] In specific applications, such as Figure 4As shown, when the earphone housing 200 is in the first position, the slider 400 is moved within the guide groove 201 to a position where the first external speaker hole 203 and the second external speaker hole 403 are connected. Then, the first sound guide channel 401, the second external speaker hole 403, and the first external speaker hole 203 are connected to form the sound output channel of the audio module 300. The sound emitted by the audio module 300 is transmitted sequentially through the first sound guide channel 401, the second external speaker hole 403, and the first external speaker hole 203 to the side away from the device body 100. At this time, the wearable device's sound playback mode is external speaker mode.

[0048] Accordingly, such as Figure 6 As shown, when the earphone housing 200 is in the second position, by adjusting the movement of the slider 400 within the guide groove 201, the slider 400 is slid to a position where the first internal sound outlet 202 and the second internal sound outlet 402 are connected. Then, the first sound guide channel 401, the second internal sound outlet 402, and the first internal sound outlet 202 are connected to form the sound output channel of the audio module 300. The sound emitted by the audio module 300 passes sequentially through the first sound guide channel 401, the second internal sound outlet 402, and the first internal sound outlet 202, and is transmitted towards one side of the device body 100. At this time, the sound playback mode of the wearable device is earphone mode.

[0049] In the first position, the wearable device is in speaker mode, and the sound emitted by the audio module 300 is transmitted to the side away from the device body 100, so that the user can receive the sound signal without wearing the wearable device. In the second position, the wearable device is in headphone mode, and the sound emitted by the audio module 300 is transmitted towards the side of the device body 100 so that the user's ear can receive the sound emitted by the audio module 300.

[0050] It is understandable that, such as Figure 4 As shown, when the adjusting slider 400 is slid to the position where the first external sound hole 203 and the second external sound hole 403 are connected, the positions of the first internal sound hole 202 and the second internal sound hole 402 are offset from each other. The headphone shell 200 can block the second internal sound hole 402 on the adjusting slider 400 so that the sound emitted by the audio module 300 is transmitted outward only through the first external sound hole 203 and the second external sound hole 403.

[0051] Accordingly, such as Figure 6As shown, when the adjusting slider 400 is slid to the position where the first internal sound hole 202 and the second internal sound hole 402 are connected, the positions of the first external sound hole 203 and the second external sound hole 403 are offset from each other. The headphone shell 200 can block the second external sound hole 403 on the adjusting slider 400 so that the sound emitted by the audio module 300 is transmitted outward only through the first internal sound hole 202 and the second internal sound hole 402.

[0052] It should be noted that the position and number of the first external sound output hole 203 on the earphone shell 200 correspond to the position and number of the second external sound output hole 403 on the adjusting slider 400. Therefore, when the earphone shell 200 is in the first position, moving the adjusting slider 400 can connect the first external sound output hole 203 and the second external sound output hole 403. Similarly, the position and number of the first internal sound output hole 202 on the earphone shell 200 correspond to the position and number of the second internal sound output hole 402 on the adjusting slider 400. Therefore, when the earphone shell 200 is in the second position, moving the adjusting slider 400 can connect the first internal sound output hole 202 and the second internal sound output hole 402.

[0053] Of course, the number and position of the first external sound output hole 203 and the first internal sound output hole 202 on the earphone shell 200 can be set according to actual needs. The second external sound output hole 403 and the second internal sound output hole 402 on the adjusting slider 400 correspond to the first external sound output hole 203 and the first internal sound output hole 202 respectively. Those skilled in the art can set them according to actual needs, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0054] Optionally, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the wearable device also includes: a transmission mechanism 500, which is connected to an adjustment slider 400; when the earphone shell 200 is in the first position, the transmission mechanism 500 drives the adjustment slider 400 to slide to a position where the first external sound hole 203 and the second external sound hole 403 are connected; when the earphone shell 200 is in the second position, the transmission mechanism 500 drives the adjustment slider 400 to slide to a position where the first internal sound hole 202 and the second internal sound hole 402 are connected.

[0055] In this embodiment, a transmission mechanism 500 is provided between the earphone housing 200 and the device body 100. During movement of the earphone housing 200 relative to the device body 100, the transmission mechanism 500 can drive the adjustment slider 400 to move within the guide groove 201. This allows the adjustment slider 400 to slide to a position where the first external speaker hole 203 and the second external speaker hole 403 are connected when the earphone housing 200 is in the first position, thus putting the wearable device into external speaker mode. Correspondingly, when the earphone housing 200 is in the second position, the transmission mechanism 500 drives the adjustment slider 400 to slide to a position where the first internal speaker hole 202 and the second internal speaker hole 402 are connected, thus putting the wearable device into earphone mode. In this way, the sound playback mode of the wearable device can be switched by moving the adjustment slider 400 within the guide groove 201 via the transmission mechanism 500 as the position of the earphone housing 200 changes.

[0056] In some embodiments, the transmission mechanism 500 may include an adjustment button, one end of which is connected to the adjustment slider 400. An adjustment hole is provided in the earphone housing 200 at a position corresponding to the adjustment button. The other end of the adjustment button passes through the adjustment hole and is at least partially exposed outside the earphone housing 200.

[0057] In practical applications, the relative position of the adjustment slider 400 and the earphone shell 200 can be changed by manually toggling the adjustment button according to the relative position of the earphone shell 200 and the device body 100. The adjustment button will drive the adjustment slider 400 to slide in the guide groove 201, thereby changing the relative position of the adjustment slider 400 and the earphone shell 200 to switch the sound playback mode of the wearable device.

[0058] In some embodiments, the transmission mechanism 500 may include a sensing component, a controller, and a drive motor. The sensing component is disposed between the device body 100 and the earphone shell 200, and is electrically connected to the controller. The sensing component can sense changes in position between the earphone shell 200 and the device body 100 to send a sensing signal to the controller. The controller is electrically connected to the drive motor, and the drive motor is connected to the adjustment slider 400. After receiving the sensing signal sent by the sensing component, the controller can control the drive motor to operate according to the sensing signal, and drive the adjustment slider 400 to move within the guide groove 201 via the drive motor.

[0059] In a specific application, when the earphone shell 200 is adjusted to the first position, the sensing component sends a first sensing signal to the controller. The controller can control the drive motor to run according to the first sensing signal, and drive the adjustment slider 400 to slide to the position where the first external sound hole 203 and the second external sound hole 403 are connected.

[0060] Accordingly, when the earphone shell 200 is in the second position, the sensing component sends a second sensing signal to the controller. Based on this signal, the controller can control the drive motor to operate, which in turn drives the adjustment slider 400 to slide until it connects the first internal speaker hole 202 and the second internal speaker hole 402. Thus, the transmission mechanism 500 automatically adjusts the relative position of the adjustment slider 400 to the earphone shell 200 based on its movement, enabling coordinated movement of the earphone shell 200 and the adjustment slider 400. This allows the wearable device to automatically switch between external speaker mode and earphone mode.

[0061] The sensing component may include a sensor and a trigger. The sensor is disposed in one of the earphone housing 200 and the device body 100, and the trigger is disposed in the other of the earphone housing 200 and the device body 100. The sensor and the trigger are disposed opposite to each other. The sensor is electrically connected to the controller. The sensor can sense the position change of the trigger to send a sensing signal to the controller.

[0062] It should be noted that the sensing element can be a magnetic sensor, a light sensor, etc., and the trigger element is matched with the sensing element. The specific types of the sensing element and the trigger element can be selected according to actual needs, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0063] Optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the transmission mechanism 500 includes a fixed rotating shaft 510 and a crank 520. The fixed rotating shaft 510 is fixedly connected to the device body 100. The earphone housing 200 is rotatably connected to the fixed rotating shaft 510. The crank 520 is disposed inside the earphone housing 200. One end of the crank 520 is movably connected to the fixed rotating shaft 510, and the other end of the crank 520 is movably connected to the adjusting slider 400. When the earphone housing 200 moves relative to the device body 100, the crank 520 drives the adjusting slider 400 to move within the guide groove 201.

[0064] In this embodiment, by setting a fixed rotating shaft 510 and a crank 520, during the movement of the earphone housing 200 relative to the device body 100, the adjusting slider 400 is pulled by the crank 520 due to the limitation of the crank 520's length, allowing it to slide within the guide groove 201. Thus, through the cooperation of the fixed rotating shaft 510 and the crank 520, the relative position of the adjusting slider 400 and the earphone housing 200 can be adjusted, changing the connection position between the second sound outlet of the adjusting slider 400 and the first sound outlet on the earphone housing 200. This achieves automatic switching of the wearable device's sound playback mode, realizing the linkage between the earphone housing 200's position switching and the sound playback mode switching.

[0065] Specifically, one end of the earphone housing 200 is rotatably connected to the device body 100. A pivot hole 204 is provided at the end of the earphone housing 200 connected to the device body 100. A fixed pivot 510 passes through the pivot hole 204 and can rotate within the pivot hole 204. One end of the fixed pivot 510 is fixedly connected to the device body 100. A crank 520 is provided inside the earphone housing 200. The crank 520 can move within the housing. The other end of the fixed pivot 510 passes through the pivot hole 204 and is movably connected to the crank 520 inside the earphone housing 200. The end of the crank 520 away from the fixed pivot 510 is movably connected to the adjustment slider 400.

[0066] In specific applications, such as Figure 5 As shown, when the earphone housing 200 is in the second position, the fixed pivot 510 can be installed on the device body 100 at an off-center position to the right of the pivot of the earphone housing 200. At this time, the adjusting slider is located at the position where the first internal sound outlet 202 and the second internal sound outlet 402 are connected.

[0067] Furthermore, during the rotation of the earphone shell 200 relative to the device body 100, switching from the second position to the first position, the earphone shell 200 drives the crank 520 to rotate relative to the fixed rotating shaft 510. This, in turn, drives the adjustment slider 400 to slide within the guide groove 201, causing the adjustment slider 400 to slide to the position where the first external speaker hole 203 and the second external speaker hole 403 are connected. This achieves the switching from earphone mode to external speaker mode.

[0068] like Figure 16 As shown in the figure, point O' represents the position of the fixed rotating shaft 510, and point O represents the rotation axis of the earphone shell 200. Among them, O'A represents the position of the crank 520 when the earphone shell is in the second position, and O'B represents the position of the crank 520 when the earphone shell is in the first position. The arc AB is the movement trajectory of the end of the crank 520 connected to the adjusting slider 400 when the earphone shell 200 switches between the first position and the second position.

[0069] As can be seen, during the process of switching the headphone shell 200 from the second position to the first position, that is, switching from headphone mode to external speaker mode, the length of OA is greater than the length of OB. Relative to the rotation axis of the headphone shell 200, the end of the crank 520 connected to the adjustment slider 400 moves to the right. At this time, the crank 520 will drive the adjustment slider 400 to move to the right, thereby adjusting the position of the adjustment slider 400. Correspondingly, the principle of switching from external speaker mode to headphone mode is the same as that of switching from headphone mode to external speaker mode, and will not be repeated here.

[0070] In some embodiments, the pivot hole 204 can be configured as an arc-shaped hole, and the fixed pivot 510 is slidably connected to the arc-shaped hole. During the rotation of the earphone housing 200 relative to the device body 100, the fixed pivot 510 can slide in the arc-shaped hole, thereby facilitating the movement of the earphone housing 200 and avoiding interference of the fixed pivot 510 on the rotation of the earphone housing 200.

[0071] Optionally, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the audio module 300 includes: a sound-generating component 310 and a sound guide 320; the sound-generating component 310 is disposed in the device body 100 or the earphone housing 200, the sound guide 320 is embedded in the earphone housing 200, one end of the sound guide 320 is connected to the sound-generating component 310, and the other end of the sound guide 320 is movably connected to the adjustment slider 400; the sound guide 320 is provided with a second sound guide channel 321, one end of the second sound guide channel 321 is connected to the sound-generating component 310, and the other end of the second sound guide channel 321 is connected to the first sound guide channel 401.

[0072] In this embodiment, the audio module 300 includes a sound-emitting component 310 and a sound guide 320. Through the second sound guide channel 321 within the sound guide 320, the first sound guide channel 401 within the adjustment slider 400 can be connected to the sound-emitting component 310. Thus, the sound emitted by the sound-emitting component 310 can be transmitted through the second sound guide channel 321 to the first sound guide channel 401, and then transmitted outwards through the second sound outlet of the adjustment slider 400 and the first sound outlet on the earphone housing 200. This allows the same sound-emitting component 310 to be used in both earphone and speaker modes, simplifying the structure of the wearable device, reducing usage costs, and making reasonable use of the structural space within the device body 100 and the earphone housing 200, thereby optimizing the structural layout of the wearable device.

[0073] Specifically, the sound-generating component 310 can be installed in the device body 100 or in the earphone housing 200. A sound guide 320 is provided in the earphone housing 200, with one end connected to the sound-generating component 310 and the other end connected to the adjustment slider 400. A second sound guide channel 321 provided inside the sound guide 320 connects the first sound guide channel 401 within the adjustment slider 400 to the sound-generating component 310, allowing the sound signal emitted by the sound-generating component 310 to be transmitted to the first sound guide channel 401 via the second sound guide channel 321.

[0074] Furthermore, the end of the sound guide 320 away from the sound-generating component 310 can be movably connected to the adjusting slider 400. During the movement of the adjusting slider 400 relative to the guide groove 201, the sound guide 320 and the adjusting slider 400 will also move relative to each other. During this process, the second sound guide channel 321 in the sound guide 320 and the first sound guide channel 401 in the adjusting slider 400 are always connected, so that the sound signal emitted by the sound-generating component 310 can be transmitted to the first sound guide channel 401 through the second sound guide channel 321.

[0075] Optionally, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the sound-generating assembly 310 includes a sound-generating element 311 and a sound cavity housing 312. The sound cavity housing 312 is disposed in the device body 100, and a sound cavity 3121 is provided inside the sound cavity housing 312. The sound-generating element 311 is disposed inside the sound cavity 3121. A protrusion 3122 is provided on the side of the sound cavity housing 312 facing the earphone housing 200. A mounting hole 205 is provided on the earphone housing 200 at a position corresponding to the protrusion 3122. The protrusion 3122 passes through the mounting hole 205 and is rotatably connected to the sound guide element 320. A sound guide hole 3123 is provided inside the protrusion 3122. One end of the sound guide hole 3123 communicates with the sound cavity 3121, and the other end of the sound guide hole 3123 communicates with the second sound guide channel 321.

[0076] In this embodiment, by providing a sound cavity housing 312 and installing the sound-generating component 311 within the sound cavity 3121 of the sound cavity housing 312, the sound quality of the sound-generating component 311 can be improved. Furthermore, by providing a protrusion 3122 on the sound cavity housing 312, the earphone housing 200 can be rotatably connected to the protrusion 3122, enabling the earphone housing 200 to switch between different positions. Simultaneously, the protrusion 3122 is connected to the sound guide 320, which can transmit the sound emitted by the sound-generating component 311 to the adjustment slider 400 inside the earphone housing 200. In this way, both the rotatable connection between the earphone housing 200 and the device body 100 and the smooth transmission of sound between the sound-generating component 310 and the adjustment slider 400 can be achieved, resulting in a simple structure and convenient operation.

[0077] Specifically, the sound-generating component 310 can be disposed in the device body 100. The sound-generating component 310 may include a sound-generating element 311 and a sound cavity housing 312. The sound cavity housing 312 is installed in the device body and has a cavity inside. The sound-generating element 311 is disposed in the cavity, and the cavity serves as the sound cavity 3121 of the sound-generating element 311 to improve the sound effect of the sound-generating element 311.

[0078] Furthermore, a protrusion 3122 is provided on the side of the acoustic cavity housing 312 facing the earphone housing 200. The earphone housing 200 is sleeved on the outside of the protrusion 3122, and the earphone housing 200 can rotate relative to the protrusion 3122 to switch between a first position and a second position. At the same time, the protrusion 3122 is rotatably connected to the sound guide 320 inside the earphone housing 200, and the sound guide hole 3123 inside the protrusion 3122 communicates with the acoustic cavity 3121 and the second sound guide channel 321 respectively to transmit the sound signal inside the acoustic cavity 3121 to the second sound guide channel 321.

[0079] Optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the wearable device also includes a first seal 610, which is disposed between the protrusion 3122 of the sound cavity housing 312 and the sound guide 320. The sound guide 320 is sealed to the protrusion 3122 through the first seal 610.

[0080] In this embodiment, by providing a first sealing member 610 between the protrusion 3122 of the acoustic cavity housing 312 and the sound guide 320, the sealing effect of the first sealing member 610 is used to achieve a sealed connection between the sound guide 320 and the protrusion 3122. This can prevent sound leakage at the connection between the sound guide hole 3123 and the second sound guide channel 321, thereby improving the sound quality of the wearable device. At the same time, it can also prevent external impurities from entering the sound guide hole 3123 or the second sound guide channel 321 from the connection between the sound guide 320 and the protrusion 3122.

[0081] Specifically, the protrusion 3122 of the acoustic cavity housing 312 is at least partially embedded in the second sound guiding channel 321 of the sound guide 320. A first sealing groove is provided circumferentially on the outer side of the protrusion 3122, and a first sealing member 610 is disposed in the first sealing groove. The first sealing member 610 is located between the first sealing groove of the protrusion 3122 and the inner wall of the second sound guiding channel 321, and plays a sealing role between the protrusion 3122 and the sound guide 320.

[0082] The first sealing element 610 can be made of a sealing material, such as silicone rubber, natural rubber, ethylene propylene rubber, nitrile rubber, fluorosilicone rubber, etc. Of course, the first sealing element 610 can also be made of other sealing materials, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0083] Optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the wearable device also includes a second seal 620, which is disposed between the sound guide 320 and the adjustment slider 400. The sound guide 320 is sealed to the adjustment slider 400 through the second seal 620.

[0084] In this embodiment, by providing a second sealing member 620 between the sound guide 320 and the adjustment slider 400, the sealing effect of the second sealing member 620 is used to achieve a sealed connection between the sound guide 320 and the adjustment slider 400, which can prevent sound leakage at the connection between the first sound guide channel 401 and the second sound guide channel 321 and improve the sound quality of the wearable device.

[0085] Specifically, the end of the sound guide 320 near the adjusting slider 400 can be embedded in the first sound guide channel 401 of the adjusting slider 400. A second sealing groove is provided circumferentially at the end of the sound guide 320, and a second sealing member 620 is disposed in the second sealing groove. The second sealing member 620 is located between the inner wall of the first sound guide channel 401 and the second sealing groove on the sound guide 320, thereby playing a sealing role between the sound guide 320 and the adjusting slider 400.

[0086] The second seal 620 can be made of a sealing material, such as silicone rubber, natural rubber, ethylene propylene rubber, nitrile rubber, or fluorosilicone rubber. Of course, the second seal 620 can also be made of other sealing materials, and this embodiment does not limit this choice.

[0087] It should be noted that the first seal 610 and the second seal 620 can be made of the same material or different materials, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0088] Optionally, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the adjusting slider 400 is provided with a plurality of second external sound holes 403, and the plurality of second external sound holes 403 are spaced apart along the axis of the first sound guide channel 401; the earphone housing 200 is provided with a plurality of first external sound holes 203, and when the earphone housing 200 is in the first position, each first external sound hole 203 is connected to a second external sound hole 403.

[0089] In this embodiment, by providing multiple second external sound holes 403 at intervals on the adjusting slider 400, and correspondingly providing multiple first external sound holes 203 on the side of the earphone housing 200 away from the device body 100, when the earphone housing 200 is in the first position, the multiple second external sound holes 403 are respectively connected to the multiple first external sound holes 203, and the sound emitted by the audio module 300 can be transmitted outward sequentially through the first sound guide channel 401, the multiple second external sound holes 403, and the multiple first external sound holes 203. In this way, the sound emitted by the audio module 300 can be transmitted outward simultaneously from the multiple first external sound holes 203, which can enhance the external sound effect of the audio module 300.

[0090] The number of second external sound holes 403 provided on the adjusting slider 400 is the same as the number of first external sound holes 203 provided on the earphone shell 200, and the distance between two adjacent second external sound holes 403 is equal to the distance between two adjacent first external sound holes 203, so that when the earphone shell 200 is in the first position, each second external sound hole 403 corresponds exactly to one first external sound hole 203.

[0091] It should be noted that the specific number of the second external sound outlet 403 and the first external sound outlet 203 can be set according to actual needs, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0092] Optionally, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the device body 100 has a first stop block 110 and a second stop block 120 on the side facing the earphone housing 200; as Figure 3 As shown, when the earphone shell 200 is in the first position, the earphone shell 200 abuts against the first stop block 110; as Figure 5 As shown, when the earphone housing 200 is in the second position, the earphone housing 200 abuts against the second stop block 120.

[0093] In this embodiment of the application, by providing a first stop block 110 and a second stop block 120 on the side of the device body 100 facing the earphone housing 200, the first stop block 110 and the second stop block 120 limit the earphone housing 200. When the earphone housing 200 moves relative to the device body 100, it can be correspondingly restricted to a first position or a second position, so that the earphone housing 200 can accurately switch between the first position and the second position, thereby improving the accuracy of the position switching of the earphone housing 200.

[0094] In some embodiments, a first slot is provided on the outer side of the earphone housing 200 at a position corresponding to the first stop block 110. The shape of the first slot is adapted to the first stop block 110, so that when the earphone housing 200 is in the first position, the first stop block 110 is precisely engaged in the first slot. Through the engaging action of the first stop block 110 and the first slot, the earphone housing 200 can be fixed in the first position to prevent the earphone housing 200 from shaking when it is in the first position.

[0095] Correspondingly, a second slot is provided on the outer side of the earphone shell 200 at a position corresponding to the second stop block 120. The shape of the second slot is adapted to the second stop block 120, so that when the earphone shell 200 is in the second position, the second stop block 120 is precisely engaged in the second slot. Through the engaging action of the second stop block 120 and the second slot, the earphone shell 200 can be fixed in the second position, preventing the earphone shell 200 from shaking when it is in the second position.

[0096] Optionally, such as Figure 15 As shown, the earphone shell 200 is embedded with a first magnetic element 210 and a second magnetic element 220, and the first stop block 110 and the second stop block 120 are both made of magnetic material; when the earphone shell 200 is in the first position, the first magnetic element 210 and the first stop block 110 are magnetically attracted to each other; when the earphone shell 200 is in the second position, the second magnetic element 220 and the second stop block 120 are magnetically attracted to each other.

[0097] In this embodiment, a first magnetic element 210 and a second magnetic element 220 are respectively provided within the earphone housing 200 at positions that cooperate with the first stop block 110 and the second stop block 120. Both the first stop block 110 and the second stop block 120 are made of magnetic material. Thus, when the earphone housing 200 is in the first position, the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic element 210 and the first stop block 110 fixes the earphone housing 200 in the first position. Correspondingly, when the earphone housing 200 is in the second position, the magnetic attraction between the second magnetic element 220 and the second stop block 120 fixes the earphone housing 200 in the second position. In this way, through the magnetic attraction between the first stop block 110 and the second stop block 120 and the magnetic elements within the earphone housing 200, the earphone housing 200 can be fixed in either the first or second position, thereby preventing the earphone housing 200 from swinging during use, improving the stability of the earphone housing 200, and enhancing the user experience.

[0098] Specifically, when the earphone shell 200 is in the first position, the earphone shell 200 abuts against the first stop block 110. A first magnetic element 210 is provided inside the earphone shell 200 at a position corresponding to the first stop block 110. At the same time, the first stop block 110 can be made of magnetic material, so that the first magnetic element 210 and the first stop block 110 can be magnetically attracted to each other to fix the earphone shell 200 and the first stop block 110 in a fixed connection. This can avoid the impact of the swing of the earphone shell 200 on the audio effect when the audio module 300 is in the external playback mode.

[0099] Correspondingly, when the earphone shell 200 is in the second position, the earphone shell 200 abuts against the second stop block 120. A second magnetic element 220 is provided inside the earphone shell 200 at a position corresponding to the second stop block 120. At the same time, the second stop block 120 can be made of magnetic material, so that the second magnetic element 220 and the second stop block 120 can be magnetically attracted to each other to fix the earphone shell 200 and the second stop block 120 in a fixed connection. This can avoid the impact of the swing of the earphone shell 200 on the audio effect when the audio module 300 is in the internal or external mode.

[0100] In some embodiments, the first magnetic element 210 and the second magnetic element 220 may be made of magnetic materials such as permanent magnets or electromagnets. The first magnetic element 210 and the second magnetic element 220 may be made of the same material or different materials; this application embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0101] The housing has a first mounting groove and a second mounting groove, which can be used to fix the first magnetic component 210 in the first mounting groove and the second magnetic component 220 in the second mounting groove by means of adhesive or snap-fit.

[0102] Furthermore, the first stop block 110 and the second stop block 120 can be made of permanent magnet materials such as magnets, or they can be made of magnetic metal materials, such as iron, nickel, cobalt, etc. Of course, the first stop block 110 and the second stop block 120 can also be made of other magnetic materials, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0103] It should be noted that the first stop block 110 and the second stop block 120 can be made of the same magnetic material or different magnetic materials. Those skilled in the art can make the selection according to actual needs, and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0104] Optionally, such as Figure 15 As shown, a first buffer layer 111 is provided at the contact position between the first stop block 110 and the earphone housing 200. When the earphone housing 200 is in the first position, the side of the first buffer layer 111 away from the first stop block 110 abuts against the earphone housing 200.

[0105] In this embodiment, a first buffer layer 111 is provided on the side of the first stop block 110 that contacts the earphone housing 200. When the earphone housing 200 is switched to the first position, the earphone housing 200 abuts against the first buffer layer 111 on the first stop block 110. Through the buffering effect of the first buffer layer 111, rigid impact between the earphone housing 200 and the first stop block 110 can be avoided. By providing the first buffer layer 111, the first stop block 110 and the earphone housing 200 can be protected, increasing the service life of the wearable device.

[0106] The first buffer layer 111 can be made of a flexible material, such as sponge, foam, rubber, or cotton. Of course, the first buffer layer 111 can also be made of other flexible materials, and those skilled in the art can choose according to actual needs; this application does not limit this choice.

[0107] In some embodiments, a second buffer layer 121 is provided at the contact position between the second stop block 120 and the earphone housing 200. When the earphone housing 200 is in the second position, the side of the second buffer layer 121 away from the second stop block 120 abuts against the earphone housing 200.

[0108] In this embodiment, a second buffer layer 121 is provided on the side of the second stop block 120 that contacts the earphone housing 200. When the earphone housing 200 is switched to the second position, the earphone housing 200 abuts against the second buffer layer 121 on the second stop block 120. The buffering effect of the second buffer layer 121 prevents rigid impact between the earphone housing 200 and the second stop block 120. By providing the second buffer layer 121, both the second stop block 120 and the earphone housing 200 are protected, increasing the lifespan of the wearable device.

[0109] The second buffer layer 121 can be made of a flexible material, such as sponge, foam, rubber, or cotton. Of course, the second buffer layer 121 can also be made of other flexible materials, and those skilled in the art can select the appropriate material according to actual needs; this application does not limit this selection.

[0110] It should be noted that the first buffer layer 111 and the second buffer layer 121 can be made of the same flexible material or different flexible materials. Those skilled in the art can make the selection according to actual needs, and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.
