[0047] The technical solution of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments.

[0048] It should be noted that when a component is described as "fixed to" another component, it can be directly on the other component or may have a component in between. When a component is considered "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or may have a component in between. When a component is considered "set on" another component, it can be directly set on the other component or may have a component in between. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.

[0049] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein in the specification of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. The term "or / and" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0050] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0051] Please see Figure 1 This application provides a neckband-style flip-up earphone 100 (hereinafter referred to as earphone 100) in one embodiment. The earphone 100 includes two earphone cores 10, two ear hook assemblies 20, and a neckband assembly 30. Each end of the neckband assembly 30 is connected to one of the ear hook assemblies 20, and the end of each ear hook assembly 20 facing away from the neckband assembly 30 is connected to one of the earphone cores 10.

[0052] The neckband assembly 30 is approximately "U"-shaped and can be worn around the user's neck. The ear hook assembly 20 is approximately "N"-shaped and can be placed on the user's ear. The earphone core 10 is approximately spindle-shaped and is placed near the temple when in use. The earphone core 10 converts electrical signals into mechanical vibrations so that the user can hear sound.

[0053] In some embodiments, the neckband assembly 30 includes a movable part 31 and two fixed parts 32. Each end of the movable part 31 is rotatably connected to one of the fixed parts 32. Each ear hook assembly 20 is connected to one end of a fixed part 32 opposite to the movable part 31. The movable part 31 is fitted around the back of the user's neck and other parts, while the fixed parts 32 can be positioned at the front of the user's neck. Thus, when the user is upright, the movable part 31 can be wrapped around the back of the user's neck; when the user is lying down, the movable part 31 can be rotated relative to the fixed parts 32, allowing it to wrap around other parts of the user (e.g., the head), thereby reducing pressure on the back of the neck and improving the comfort of using the headphones 100.

[0054] In some embodiments, the fixing part 32 is generally box-shaped, and a slot 321 is provided at one end of the fixing part 32 connecting to the movable part 31. The movable part 31 is generally U-shaped, and a rotating body 311 is provided at one end of the movable part 31 connecting to the fixing part 32. The rotating body 311 is inserted into the slot 321 and can rotate within the slot 321. The rotation range of the rotating body 311 relative to the slot 321 is 0 to 90 degrees. It can be understood that in other embodiments of this application, the slot 321 is provided on the movable part 31, and the rotating body 311 is provided on the fixing part 32.

[0055] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the central portion of the rotating body 311 protrudes to form a rotating shaft 312, and the slot 321 is recessed to form a rotating hole 322 corresponding to the rotating shaft 312. The rotating shaft 312 is inserted into the rotating hole 322, and the rotating shaft 312 can rotate relative to the rotating hole 322. Thus, the rotating body 311 can rotate within the slot 321, and it is less likely that the rotating body 311 will disengage from the slot 321. It is understood that in other embodiments of this application, the rotational engagement between the rotating body 311 and the slot 321 can also be a coupling engagement, a roller and helical groove engagement, etc.

[0056] Please see Figure 3In some embodiments, the edge portion of the rotating body 311 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 313 spaced apart, and the plurality of protrusions 313 are smoothly connected. The fixing part 32 also includes a blocking member 33, which extends into the slot 321 and abuts against the protrusions 313. During the rotation of the rotating body 311, the blocking member 33 can abut against the protrusions 313 or between two adjacent protrusions 313. Specifically, when the blocking member 33 abuts against the protrusions 313, the abutting force exerted by the blocking member 33 on the protrusions 313 is relatively large, while when the blocking member 33 abuts against two adjacent protrusions 313, the abutting force exerted by the blocking member 33 on the protrusions 313 is relatively small. In this way, after the user rotates the movable part 31, the blocking member 33 can abut against the movable part 31, so that the movable part 31 will not rotate due to its own weight, thus playing a limiting role in the movement of the movable part 31.

[0057] In some embodiments, the blocking member 33 includes a spring piece 331 and a fixing post 332. The spring piece 331 is generally n-shaped and includes a first portion 331a and a second portion 331b connecting the first portion 331a. The first portion 331a and the second portion 331b are set at approximately an acute angle, and the first portion 331a and the second portion 331b enclose a receiving space 331c. One end of the fixing post 332 is fixed in the fixing part 32, and the other end is inserted into the receiving space 331c, thereby limiting the spring piece 331. The side of the spring piece 331 facing away from the receiving space 331c can abut against the protrusion 313. The spring piece 331 is made of stainless steel or Teflon.

[0058] In some embodiments, the fixing part 32 is provided with a receiving groove 324, and a plurality of baffles 325 protrude around the receiving groove 324. The first part 331a and the second part 331b can be engaged within the receiving groove 324. The plurality of baffles 325 are used to limit the first part 331a and the second part 331b, thereby engaging the spring piece 331 within the receiving groove 324.

[0059] Please see Figure 2In some embodiments, the earphone 100 further includes an electronic control component 40 and a battery component 50. The electronic control component 40 is housed in one of the fixing portions 32, and the battery component 50 is housed in another fixing portion 32. A conduit 314 is provided within the movable portion 31, and the electronic control component 40 and the battery component 50 are connected by a wire passing through the conduit 314. Specifically, each fixing portion 32 includes a housing 326 and a cover 328. The cover 328 covers the housing 326 to form a receiving space 329, within which either the battery component 50 or the electronic control component 40 is housed. The electronic control component 40 specifically includes an audio amplification chip, a digital-to-analog converter chip, a Bluetooth module, a microphone, and a touch chip, etc. After amplification and digital-to-analog conversion, the audio signal is transmitted to the earphone core 10 and converted into mechanical vibrations, which directly act on the skull to produce auditory sensation. The Bluetooth module enables wireless connection transmission and control of the headphones 100, and the microphone is used to pick up voice signals. The battery assembly 50 specifically includes a lithium-ion battery chip, a battery management chip, a charging interface, and a power switch. The lithium-ion battery chip provides rechargeable power, typically ranging from 80-120mAh. The battery management chip monitors the battery's charging and discharging status to prevent overcharging and over-discharging. The charging interface allows charging of the battery via USB or other methods. The power switch controls the system's on / off state. These battery components efficiently manage and power the headphones, enabling them to operate continuously for several hours and allowing for convenient fast charging. Through a carefully designed battery solution, the bone conduction headphones achieve wireless and portable audio transmission functionality.

[0060] In some embodiments, the earphone core 10 includes a core housing 11 and a transducer 12. The core housing 11 is connected to one end of the ear hook assembly 20 and is used for contact with the user's skin. The core housing 11 forms a receiving cavity 111, and the transducer 12 is disposed within the receiving cavity 111 and connected to the core housing 11. The transducer 12 is used to convert electrical signals into mechanical vibrations when energized, so that the skin contact area of ​​the core housing 11 can generate bone conduction sound under the action of the transducer 12. Thus, when the user wears the earphone 100, the transducer 12 converts electrical signals into core vibrations, causing the aforementioned skin contact area to generate mechanical vibrations. These mechanical vibrations then act directly on the user's auditory nerve through the user's bones and tissues, allowing the user to hear bone conduction sound through the earphone core 10. Specifically, the transducer 12 is a vibration motor.

[0061] Furthermore, those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are merely illustrative of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any appropriate changes and variations made to the above embodiments within the essential spirit and scope of this application fall within the scope of this application's disclosure.
