[0002] Ear clip headphones, as a popular representative form of open-ear headphones, have greatly improved wearing comfort compared to traditional in-ear or semi-in-ear headphones.

[0003] Currently, the main forms of open headphones are ear-hook, ear clip and back-hook. The ear clip headphones, due to their unique shape and wearing method, are connected by a simple curved rod to clamp the two sides of the auricle. They do not need to use the position of the upper ear root and will not interfere with ear mirror legs, masks, etc. They are relatively more compatible with users of different sizes of auricle and head circumference. Therefore, they are very comfortable headphones for most users. The market also focuses on comfort and stability, and they are not easy to fall off. They are a very suitable headphone form for sports scenes. However, the existing ear clip headphones on the market cannot meet the comfort and stability of sports scenes as well as advertised. Summary of the invention

[0004] The main purpose of the present application is to provide an ear-clip earphone with good clamping force and comfort, which adopts a double-curved arm clamp rod to improve the clamping force and stability of the earphone when worn, and can meet the needs of sports scenes.

[0005] Another object of the present application is to provide an earphone assembly including the above-mentioned ear clip-type earphone.

[0006] In order to achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] As a first aspect, the present application relates to an ear-clip type headset, which includes a front shell provided with a sound cavity, a rear shell provided with a battery cavity and a hyperbolic arm clamp rod connecting the two, the hyperbolic arm clamp rod including an independently arranged upper arm and a lower arm, the upper arm and the lower arm have the same natural bending arc and the cross-sectional size of the upper arm is larger than the cross-sectional size of the lower arm, the upper arm and the lower arm are both provided with a memory steel wire extending from the front shell to the rear shell, and the diameter of the memory steel wire in the upper arm is larger than the diameter of the memory steel wire in the lower arm.

[0008] Further configuration: when the ear clip type earphone is in the wearing state, the upper arm is located above the lower arm.

[0009] Further configuration: a soft rubber layer is provided on the inner shell surface of the rear shell.

[0010] It is further configured that: a concave hole is provided in the inner shell of the rear shell, and the soft rubber layer and the concave hole of the rear shell form a hollow soft rubber air cushion.

[0011] It is further provided that: the arc shape of the hyperbolic arm clamp rod is adapted to the shape of the dorsal ear groove.

[0012] It is further provided that: an elastic protrusion is provided on the arc-shaped inner side surface of the hyperbolic arm clamp rod.

[0013] It is further configured that the front shell includes a front outer shell and a front inner shell that are clamped together, a speaker is arranged in the sound cavity of the front shell, and a sound outlet hole is arranged on the front inner shell.

[0014] It is further configured that: the rear shell includes a rear outer shell and a rear inner shell that are clamped together, and a soft rubber layer is provided on the surface of the rear inner shell.

[0015] It is further configured that the front shell and the rear shell are both provided with positioning posts and positioning holes for positioning and connecting the corresponding outer shell and inner shell.

[0016] As a second aspect, the present application relates to an earphone assembly, including an earphone and a feeding structure, wherein the earphone is the ear clip-type earphone as described above.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the solution of this application has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. The ear-clip earphone involved in the present application adopts a hyperbolic arm clamping rod to connect its front shell and rear shell. The hyperbolic arm clamping rod adopts two silicone rods with memory steel wires inside. While ensuring comfort, the good rebound effect and clamping effect of the memory steel wire can ensure the stability of the earphone during wearing. In addition, two memory steel wires with different diameters are used for clamping, which can meet the wearing requirements of different ear positions. When wearing, it is only necessary to make the front shell and the rear shell at both ends of the hyperbolic arm clamping rod generate an expansion force slightly larger than the thickness from the ear arm groove to the antihelix, so that the front shell can be easily worn to the concha. After loosening, the rear shell fits the dorsal ear groove to complete the wearing of the earphone. The wearing is convenient, thereby meeting the stability and comfort requirements of outdoor wearing of sports earphones, and greatly improving the convenience of wearing in sports scenes.

[0019] 2. In the ear-clip earphones involved in the present application, the upper arm of the hyperbolic arm clamp rod is located above the forearm, and the diameter of the memory steel wire in the upper arm is larger than the diameter of the memory steel wire in the forearm. The forearm is more easily deformed than the upper arm, but the upper arm has a higher clamping strength than the forearm. The double-arm structure can meet the wearing requirements of different ear positions. Compared with earphones that only use a single memory steel wire, it has better clamping force and resilience, and the durability of the present application is higher.

[0020] 3. In the ear-clip earphone involved in the present application, a concave hole is set on the rear inner shell of the rear shell and a hollow cushion structure is formed with the soft rubber layer on its surface, so as to reduce the pressure of the earphone back shell on the auricle and improve the wearing comfort.

[0021] Additional aspects and advantages of the present application will be partially given in the following description, which will become apparent from the following description, or will be understood through the practice of the present application. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0028] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be interpreted as limiting the present application.

[0029] See also Figures 1 to 4 The present application discloses an ear clip type earphone, which has higher wearing comfort and stability than the existing ear clip type earphones, so as to better meet the needs of sports scenes.

[0030] Specifically, the ear-clip earphone comprises a front shell 1, a rear shell 2 and a double-crank arm clamp rod 3 connecting the two, wherein a sound cavity is arranged in the front shell 1, and a speaker is arranged in the sound cavity, and the front shell 1 is a split structure, specifically comprising a front outer shell and a front inner shell that are snap-fitted, the front inner shell is attached to the ear clip, and a sound outlet is arranged at the end of the front inner shell away from the connection with the double-crank arm clamp rod 3; the rear shell 2 is provided with a battery cavity for accommodating batteries and circuit boards, and the rear shell 2 is also a split structure, specifically comprising a rear An outer shell and a rear inner shell, the rear inner shell is in contact with the back of the ear; the hyperbolic arm clamp rod 3 is connected between the front shell 1 and the rear shell 2, the hyperbolic arm clamp rod 3 includes a large arm 31 and a small arm 32 arranged side by side, and the natural curvature of the large arm 31 and the small arm 32 are the same. In the wearing state, the hyperbolic arm clamp rod 3 is clamped on the auricle, and at the same time, the wire connecting the speaker in the front shell and the battery and circuit board in the rear shell is arranged in the large arm 31 and the wire extends from the sound cavity of the front shell 1 to the battery cavity of the rear shell 2.

[0031] Among them, the cross-sectional size of the upper arm 31 in the present application is larger than the cross-sectional size of the lower arm 32, and the upper arm 31 and the lower arm 32 in this embodiment are both made of silicone material, which is soft and can reduce rigid contact with the ear. In order to improve the wearing stability of the hyperbolic arm clamp rod 3, the upper arm 31 and the lower arm 32 are both provided with a memory steel wire extending from the front cavity to the rear cavity. The memory steel wire is made of an alloy with memory properties, usually composed of nickel, titanium, platinum, copper, silver and other materials. The memory steel wire has high elasticity, wear resistance and stability, and can maintain its original shape and performance under different temperature and humidity environments. In this embodiment, the diameter of the memory steel wire in the upper arm 31 is larger than the diameter of the memory steel wire in the lower arm 32. It is known that the difficulty of bending steel wires of the same material mainly depends on the size of their bending stiffness. The greater the bending stiffness, the more difficult it is to bend, and vice versa, the easier it is to bend. The size of the bending stiffness is related to the thickness of the steel wire, that is, when the memory steel wire is thicker, it is more difficult to bend, and at the same time has a higher bending strength.

[0032] When the ear clip earphone is in the wearing state, the upper arm 31 is located above the lower arm 32, that is, the memory wire with a large diameter is clamped above the memory wire with a small diameter. Since the concha cavity is downwardly close to the antihelix and antitragus, the separation distance between the front shell 1 and the rear shell 2 of the ear clip earphone of the present application needs to be increased accordingly to adapt to different wearing positions. The memory wire with a smaller diameter has a greater bending ability, so that it can be adapted to the wearing position below the concha; while the memory wire with a larger diameter has a greater bending stiffness and correspondingly has a higher clamping stability. Therefore, the double clamp arm structure formed by two memory wires of different diameters in the present application can enhance the resilience and clamping force of the double curved arm clamp rod 3, avoid the phenomenon of weakened resilience caused by the need to expand a larger space for the single clamp arm structure, and thus ensure the wearing stability of the earphone of the present application.

[0033] The upper arm 31 and the lower arm 32 of the hyperbolic arm clamp 3 are independently configured with a gap therebetween, so that the bending of the two is also independent of each other, so that the upper arm 31 and the lower arm 32 have different bending shapes according to the different wearing positions of the ears, ensuring that they are worn in place and highly adaptable to the user.

[0034] Furthermore, the arc shape of the hyperflex arm clamp rod 3 is adapted to the shape of the dorsal ear groove, and an elastic protrusion is provided on the arc inner side of the hyperflex arm clamp rod 3. The shape of the hyperflex arm clamp rod 3 of the present application can fit the shape of the dorsal ear groove to facilitate wearing, and the elastic protrusion on the arc inner side contacts the dorsal ear groove of the user, thereby increasing the friction between the hyperflex arm clamp rod 3 and the user's ear, thereby improving the stability of the user's wearing.

[0035] The rear inner shell of the rear shell 2 is in contact with the back of the ear, and a soft rubber layer 21 is provided on the surface of the rear inner shell. The soft rubber layer 21 can prevent the rear inner shell from rigidly contacting the ear, and can play a buffering role on the ear, thereby reducing the discomfort caused by wearing headphones for a long time. Furthermore, the rear inner shell is provided with a concave hole 22 at the point where it fits the ear, and the soft rubber layer 21 and the concave hole 32 form a hollow soft rubber air cushion, thereby further reducing the sense of pressure on the auricle when wearing the headphones without destroying the overall surface of the headphones, thereby improving the comfort of wearing the headphones. Preferably, the soft rubber layer 21 in this embodiment can be made of soft silicone, so that a hollow silicone air cushion can be formed on the rear shell 2 of the headphones to improve the comfort of wearing the headphones.

[0036] The front shell 1 is located in the concha when worn. In order to maximize the accommodation of the front shell 1, the lateral size of the front shell 1 can cover the space from the tragus to the antihelix to fill the entire concha cavity as much as possible. In order to improve the wearing comfort, the front inner shell arc surface of the front shell 1 can be adapted to the setting of the concha cavity. For example, the contact area close to the ear canal is flatter to reduce the pressure on the concha cavity, and the contact area close to the edge of the concha cavity maintains a smaller arc to avoid falling off.

[0037] The front shell 1 and the rear shell 2 of the present application are both split structures. In order to improve the accuracy of earphone assembly, positioning columns and positioning holes corresponding to the outer shell and the inner shell are provided inside the front shell 1 and the rear shell 2 to ensure accurate installation position and facilitate assembly.

[0038] In summary, the ear-clip earphones of the present application use a hyperbolic arm clamping rod 3 to connect the front shell 1 and the rear shell 2 thereof. The hyperbolic arm clamping rod 3 uses two silicone rods with memory steel wires inside. While ensuring comfort, the good rebound effect and clamping effect of the memory steel wire can ensure the stability of the earphones during wearing. In addition, two memory steel wires of different diameters are used for clamping, which can meet the wearing requirements of different ear positions. When wearing, it is only necessary to make the front shell 1 and the rear shell 2 at both ends of the hyperbolic arm clamping rod 3 generate an expansion force slightly larger than the thickness from the ear arm groove to the antihelix, so that the front shell 1 can be easily worn to the concha. After loosening, the rear shell 2 fits the dorsal ear groove to complete the wearing of the earphones. The wearing is convenient, thereby meeting the stability and comfort requirements of outdoor wearing of sports earphones, and greatly improving the convenience of wearing in sports scenes.

[0039] The present application provides a concave hole 32 on the rear inner shell of the rear shell 2 to form a hollow cushion structure with the soft rubber layer 31 on its surface, thereby reducing the pressure of the earphone rear shell 2 on the auricle and improving the wearing comfort.

[0040] The present application also relates to an earphone assembly, which includes the ear clip-type earphone and feeding structure as described above, the feeding structure includes a charging box used in conjunction with the ear clip-type earphone, and the ear clip-type earphone of the present application can be configured in pairs, respectively adapted for the left ear and the right ear; it can also be used individually, but only adapted to one side of the ear canal, the left ear or the right ear.

[0041] The above description is only a partial implementation method of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present application. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present application.
