[0052] By setting the earphone head 11 as a cylindrical structure and the end of the earphone head 11 as an arc structure, the angle formed by the sound outlet 13 and the axial direction of the earphone head 11 is 15°-75°, so that the sound can be directly emitted to the ear canal, and the shape of the concha cavity is used to gather the residual sound and enhance the volume; at the same time, the semicircle at the bottom allows the diaphragm of the speaker 14 to have a wider range of release, and the sound outlet 13 is on the side directly in front of the speaker 14, so that the sound energy is greater, further improving the user experience.

[0053] Preferably, the earphone head 11 is vertically connected to the connecting section 12, the earphone head 11 and the connecting section 12 are integrally formed, the connection between the earphone head 11 and the connecting section 12 near the ear clip space is smoothly transitioned, and a decorative cover plate 121 is provided on the side of the connecting section 12 away from the ear clip space, and the decorative cover plate 121 is covered on the second accommodating cavity of the connecting section 12 and is detachably connected to the connecting section 12. By providing a detachable decorative cover plate 121, the appearance of the earphone can be made more diverse, and it can also facilitate the installation of circuit boards and auxiliary components.

[0054] The diameter of the earphone head 11 is 8mm-20mm, and the length of the earphone head 11 is 12mm-25mm. For example, the diameter of the earphone head 11 is 9mm, 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 13mm, 14mm, 15mm, 16mm, 17mm, 18mm, 19mm, etc., and the length of the earphone head 11 is 13mm, 14mm, 15mm, 16mm, 17mm, 18mm, 19mm, 20mm, 21mm, 22mm, 23mm, 24mm, etc. The earphone head 11 of this structure can better load the speaker 14 and the battery 15, so that the earphone head 11 is more appropriately placed in the concha cylindrica, making the fit stronger.

[0055] In one embodiment, the reference specification Figures 1 to 7 The clamping member 2 is made of a material that can be elastically deformed after molding, so that the ear clamping space can be elastically opened and closed, so as to be elastically clamped on the auricle 3 of the human ear. The clamping member 2 can be made of a soft rubber material. When the clamping member 2 is clamped on the auricle 3, the clamping member 2 can better fit on the auricle due to the large deformability of the soft rubber material. At the same time, the soft rubber material is relatively soft, and the consumer is more comfortable wearing it. Soft rubber materials include but are not limited to silicone, synthetic rubber or polypropylene materials. In actual production, the manufacturer can select different soft rubber materials according to actual conditions. They are not described here one by one, and they are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0056] Alternatively, the clamping member 2 includes a flexible outer jacket and a spring sheet or a memory metal sheet, which is arranged inside the flexible outer jacket so that the ear clamping space can be opened and closed to clamp the auricle 3 of the human ear. The earphone is better clamped on the auricle 3 through the elastic deformation of the spring sheet or the memory metal sheet, and the memory metal sheet includes but is not limited to any one or more materials such as carbon spring steel, low manganese spring steel, silicon manganese spring steel, Luo vanadium steel, stainless steel, elastic copper alloy, nickel titanium alloy material, gold-cadmium alloy material, indium-thallium alloy material, etc. The user can select materials to make the memory metal sheet according to the deformation characteristics. In addition, the spring sheet or the memory metal sheet in this embodiment can be connected to the flexible outer jacket by injection molding.

[0057] Furthermore, the ear clamping space is set to be elliptical, with a major axis of 8mm-14mm and a minor axis of 6mm-10mm. For example, the major axis is 9mm, 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 13mm, etc., and the minor axis is 7mm, 8mm, 9mm, etc. The ear clamping space of this structure can adapt to the shape of the auricle 3 of the human ear, so that the earphone body 1 and the clamping member 2 can better fit the auricle 3, thereby improving the wearing comfort.

[0058] A clamping opening 21 is formed between the end of the clamping member 2 away from the earphone body 1 and the earphone body 1, and the width of the clamping opening 21 is 2mm-6mm. For example, the width of the clamping opening 21 is 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, etc. The clamping opening 21 of this structure can adapt to the thickness of the auricle 3 of the ear, making the wearing effect more secure and painless, and improving the wearing comfort.

[0059] In this embodiment, when wearing, the clamping opening 21 is opened to open the ear clamping space, and the earphone body 1 is worn above the concha cavity. With slight force, the inner walls on both sides of the ear clamping space respectively clamp the inner and outer sides of the auricle 3 to prevent the earphone from falling out. In this way, the whole device is worn on the auricle 3 to avoid being inserted into the ear. The earphone can be worn with one hand, which is convenient to use.

[0060] In one embodiment, the reference specification Figures 1 to 7 The semi-open earphone further includes: a charging contact 16 and a magnetic attraction portion 17.
