Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of earphones, and in particular to an earphone. Background Art
[0002] At present, there are two common wireless headphones on the market, in-ear wireless headphones and air conduction wireless headphones. In-ear wireless headphones have good sound insulation and good sound quality, but long-term wearing can easily lead to ear canal hygiene problems. Air conduction wireless headphones do not need to be inserted into the ear, so they can avoid ear canal hygiene problems caused by long-term wearing, but the sound quality is often not as good as in-ear wireless headphones.
[0003] In-ear wireless headphones and air conduction wireless headphones have their own advantages and disadvantages. Users with different usage requirements usually need to carry both in-ear wireless headphones and air conduction wireless headphones with them, which brings great inconvenience to users' travel and use. Summary of the invention
[0004] The present application aims to provide an earphone that at least solves the problem in the related art that users carry two types of earphones with them, causing inconvenience to the users' travel and use.
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, this application is implemented as follows:
[0006] An embodiment of the present application provides an earphone, the earphone having a first state and a second state, and the earphone includes:
[0007] The in-ear pronunciation part and the air conduction pronunciation part are connected. In the first state, at least a part of the in-ear pronunciation part is suitable for extending into the ear canal, and the air conduction pronunciation part is located outside the ear canal. In the second state, a clamping area is formed between the in-ear pronunciation part and the air conduction pronunciation part, so that the in-ear pronunciation part and the air conduction pronunciation part are suitable for clamping on the auricle.
[0008] In an embodiment of the present application, in a first state, the user can use the in-ear sound part. In this use state, when the user wears the in-ear sound part, the air conduction sound part does not need to extend into the ear canal, so that the user can use the earphone in an in-ear way to listen to audio.
[0009] In the second state, a clamping area is formed between the in-ear sound part and the air conduction sound part. In this usage state, the earphone forms a "clip" state, and the user can clamp the in-ear sound part and the air conduction sound part on the auricle, so that the user can use the earphone to listen to audio by air conduction.
[0010] Users can enjoy the functions of TWS and OWS at the same time by buying one headset. When the user has requirements for sound insulation and sound quality, the headset is in the form of TWS, that is, the in-ear pronunciation part is used to receive audio. When the user's ears are uncomfortable after wearing it for a long time and have health requirements, just stretch the headset, and the TWS form can be changed to OWS form to meet the user's usage needs. Therefore, for users with different usage needs, there is no need to carry two headsets at the same time. One headset in this embodiment can meet the user's usage needs in different scenarios, providing convenience for the user's travel and use.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0028] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 10 The present invention describes an earphone according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0029] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, according to some embodiments of the present application, the earphone 100 has a first state and a second state. The earphone 100 includes: an in-ear pronunciation part 110 and an air conduction pronunciation part 120, the in-ear pronunciation part 110 and the air conduction pronunciation part 120 are connected, in the first state, at least a part of the in-ear pronunciation part 110 is suitable for extending into the ear canal, and the air conduction pronunciation part 120 is located outside the ear canal, in the second state, a clamping area is formed between the in-ear pronunciation part 110 and the air conduction pronunciation part 120, so that the in-ear pronunciation part 110 and the air conduction pronunciation part 120 are suitable for clamping on the auricle.
[0030] The in-ear sounding unit 110 can be placed in the ear canal of the user, and the in-ear design allows the user to hear the audio. The air conduction sounding unit 120 does not need to be used in the ear, and the air conduction sounding unit 120 is placed at the auricle of the ear, so that the user can receive the audio through air conduction. The user can use the in-ear sounding unit 110 or the air conduction sounding unit 120 to receive the audio according to their own usage needs.
[0031] The in-ear pronunciation unit 110 can realize the TWS (True Wireless Stereo) function, which means true wireless stereo, and it is an innovative headphone form. Compared with traditional wired headphones, the biggest feature of TWS is its "true" wireless design. Users no longer need to worry about the constraints of wires and can freely enjoy music, movies and other entertainment content within a certain range, which brings great convenience. TWS headphones often adopt an in-ear or semi-in-ear structure, which has problems with ear hygiene, and long-term wearing can easily cause discomfort such as pressure difference in the ear canal.
[0032] The air conduction pronunciation part 120 can realize the OWS (Open Wearable Stereo) function, that is, a fully open wearable headset, which can also be regarded as another innovative form of headset after TWS. The biggest difference between it and TWS lies in the feature of "openness". The design concept of OWS focuses on the user's health experience, especially in the context of the current health concept being increasingly valued, "not in the ear" has become the biggest publicity point of OWS. OWS adopts air conduction, through the traditional air conduction transmission media such as the external eardrum, eardrum, and tympanic cavity, the sound wave vibration signal converted from the electrical signal is directly transmitted to the auditory nerve through the temporal bone. This open headphone design allows users to hear the surrounding ambient sound while enjoying music, which improves safety.
[0033] The earphone 100 in the present application has two usage states. In the first state, the user can use the in-ear sound producing part 110. In this usage state, when the user wears the in-ear sound producing part 110, the air conduction sound producing part 120 does not need to extend into the ear canal, so that the user can use the earphone 100 in an in-ear way to listen to audio.
[0034] In the second state, a clamping area is formed between the in-ear sound part 110 and the air conduction sound part 120. In this usage state, the earphone 100 forms a "clip" state, and the user can clamp the in-ear sound part 110 and the air conduction sound part 120 on the auricle, so that the user can use the earphone 100 to listen to audio by air conduction.
[0035] Users can enjoy the functions of TWS and OWS at the same time by buying one headset. When the user has requirements for sound insulation and sound quality, the headset 100 is in the form of TWS, that is, the in-ear pronunciation part 110 is used to receive audio. When the user's ears are uncomfortable after wearing it for a long time and have health requirements, just stretch the headset 100, and the TWS form can be changed to OWS form to meet the user's usage needs. Therefore, for users with different usage needs, there is no need to carry two headsets at the same time. One headset 100 in this embodiment can meet the user's usage needs in different scenarios, providing convenience for the user's travel and use.
[0036] In some embodiments, optionally, the earphone 100 further includes: a connecting member 130, the connecting member 130 being located between the in-ear sound producing portion 110 and the air conduction sound producing portion 120, the connecting member 130 being used to change the relative positions of the in-ear sound producing portion 110 and the air conduction sound producing portion 120 so that the earphone 100 can switch between the first state and the second state.
[0037] In the first state, the in-ear sound part 110 and the air conduction sound part 120 need to maintain a certain distance, so as to facilitate the wearing of the in-ear sound part 110. In the second state, the in-ear sound part 110 and the air conduction sound part 120 need to be close to each other, so as to form a clamping area between the in-ear sound part 110 and the air conduction sound part 120. It can be seen that when switching between the first state and the second state, the relative position of the in-ear sound part 110 and the air conduction sound part 120 will change. In this embodiment, a connector 130 is provided between the in-ear sound part 110 and the air conduction sound part 120, and the connector 130 allows the in-ear sound part 110 and the air conduction sound part 120 to change their relative positions, so that it is convenient for the user to adjust the use state of the earphone 100.
[0038] In some embodiments, optionally, in a first state, one end of the in-ear sound portion 110 is connected to one end of the air conduction sound portion 120, and the connecting piece 130 is located inside the in-ear sound portion 110 and the air conduction sound portion 120; in a second state, the connecting piece 130 extends out of the in-ear sound portion 110 and the air conduction sound portion 120, and the connecting piece 130 is used to limit the in-ear sound portion 110 and the air conduction sound portion 120 so as to form a clamping area between the in-ear sound portion 110 and the air conduction sound portion 120.
[0039] In the first state, the in-ear sound part 110 and the air conduction sound part 120 are directly connected. At this time, there is no need to use the connecting piece 130 to connect the in-ear sound part 110 and the air conduction sound part 120. The connecting piece 130 is accommodated in the in-ear sound part 110 and the air conduction sound part 120 to avoid the connecting piece 130 hindering the user's wearing.
[0040] In the second state, the in-ear sound portion 110 and the air conduction sound portion 120 can move relative to the connecting piece 130, thereby changing the relative positions of the in-ear sound portion 110 and the air conduction sound portion 120, the other end of the in-ear sound portion 110 and the other end of the air conduction sound portion 120 approach each other, and the distance between the in-ear sound portion 110 and the air conduction sound portion 120 is reduced, thereby forming a clamping area.
[0041] In the second state, a portion of the connecting member 130 extends out of the in-ear sound portion 110 and the air conduction sound portion 120, and the connecting member 130 can limit the in-ear sound portion 110 and the air conduction sound portion 120, thereby keeping the in-ear sound portion 110 and the air conduction sound portion 120 in the second state.
[0042] In a possible application, a first limiting portion 132 and a second limiting portion 133 are respectively provided at both ends of the connecting member 130, the first limiting portion 132 is used to prevent the connecting member 130 from being separated from the in-ear sound producing portion 110, and the second limiting portion 133 is used to prevent the connecting member 130 from being separated from the air conduction sound producing portion 120.
[0043] The first limiting portion 132 and the second limiting portion 133 implement a limiting function, thereby ensuring that the earphone 100 can stably switch between the first state and the second state.
[0044] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the connecting member 130 includes a bending portion 131, and at least one of the in-ear sound portion 110 and the air conduction sound portion 120 can move along the connecting member 130 to change the minimum distance between the other end of the in-ear sound portion 110 and the other end of the air conduction sound portion 120.
[0045] When the earphone 100 switches from the first state to the second state, the in-ear sound portion 110 and the air conduction sound portion 120 are separated from each other, and the in-ear sound portion 110 and the air conduction sound portion 120 can slide along the connecting piece 130, thereby changing the positions of the in-ear sound portion 110 and the air conduction sound portion 120.
[0046] The connecting piece 130 includes a bending portion 131, which is arranged in a bending shape. When the in-ear sound portion 110 and the air conduction sound portion 120 move along the bending portion 131, the moving paths of the in-ear sound portion 110 and the air conduction sound portion 120 are consistent with the bending direction of the bending portion 131, so that the minimum spacing between the two opposite ends of the in-ear sound portion 110 and the air conduction sound portion 120 gradually decreases, and a clamping area is formed between the in-ear sound portion 110 and the air conduction sound portion 120, so that the user can wear the earphone 100 in a clamping manner.
[0047] During the process of switching the earphone 100 from the second state to the first state, the in-ear sound portion 110 and the air conduction sound portion 120 move along the bending portion 131, and the in-ear sound portion 110 and the air conduction sound portion 120 are brought closer to each other so that the in-ear sound portion 110 and the air conduction sound portion 120 are connected together.
[0048] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, a first installation cavity 111 is provided in the in-ear sound production part 110, and a second installation cavity 121 is provided in the air conduction sound production part 120. In a first state, the connecting member 130 is located in the first installation cavity 111 and the second installation cavity 121. In a second state, a portion of the connecting member 130 extends out of the first installation cavity 111 and the second installation cavity 121.
[0049] Both the in-ear sound production part 110 and the air conduction sound production part 120 are provided with installation cavities. In the first state, the connector 130 is accommodated in the first installation cavity 111 and the second installation cavity 121. At this time, the connector 130 will not be exposed to the earphone 100, thereby ensuring the appearance integrity of the earphone 100 and avoiding interference between the connector 130 and other components, for example, preventing the connector 130 from scratching the user's clothes, accessories, etc.
[0050] When the earphone 100 switches from the first state to the second state, the in-ear sound producing part 110 and the air conduction sound producing part 120 are pulled to expose the internal connecting part 130, thereby changing the earphone 100 from the TWS form to the OWS form.
[0051] The connecting member 130 is arranged inside the earphone 100 to ensure the connection stability between the in-ear sound part 110 and the air conduction sound part 120 and the connecting member 130. When the connecting member 130 is in the storage state, the connecting member 130 is not easily scratched, thereby avoiding damage to the connecting member 130. The connecting member 130 may also be separated from the in-ear sound part 110 and the air conduction sound part 120 due to external force.
[0052] A portion of the connecting member 130 can extend out of the first installation cavity 111 and the second installation cavity 121. Therefore, it is necessary to set openings for the connecting member 130 to extend out of the in-ear sounding portion 110 and the air conduction sounding portion 120. The first installation cavity 111 is connected to the opening on the in-ear sounding portion 110, and the second installation cavity 121 is connected to the opening on the air conduction sounding portion 120. The width of the first limiting portion 132 is greater than the width of the bending portion 131. The bending portion 131 can extend out of the opening of the in-ear sounding portion 110. The first limiting portion 132 is stuck in the first installation cavity 111, so that the first limiting portion 132 will not extend out of the opening, thereby limiting the separation of the connecting member 130 from the in-ear sounding portion 110.
[0053] Similarly, the width of the second limiting portion 133 is greater than the width of the bending portion 131, and the bending portion 131 can extend out of the opening of the air conduction sounding portion 120. The second limiting portion 133 is stuck in the second mounting cavity 121, so that the second limiting portion 133 will not extend out of the opening, thereby limiting the separation of the connecting member 130 from the air conduction sounding portion 120.
[0054] In some embodiments, optionally, the connecting member 130 can be deformed to change the minimum distance between the other end of the in-ear sound producing part 110 and the other end of the air conduction sound producing part 120 .
[0055] When the user applies force to the connecting piece 130, the connecting piece 130 can be deformed. Since the in-ear sound part 110 and the air conduction sound part 120 are connected by the connecting piece 130, when the connecting piece 130 is deformed, the minimum distance between the two opposite ends of the in-ear sound part 110 and the air conduction sound part 120 will also change.
[0056] In the second state, the earphone 100 is clamped on the ear of the user. Due to different wearing habits of different users, the users have different requirements for the tightness of the earphone 100 when wearing. Since the connecting piece 130 can be deformed, the user can adjust the minimum distance between the opposite ends of the in-ear sound production part 110 and the air conduction sound production part 120 by changing the bending angle of the connecting piece 130, thereby adjusting the clamping tightness of the earphone 100, which is conducive to meeting the usage needs of different users and enhancing the user experience of the earphone 100.
[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the connector 130 may include a tubular connector. The earphone 100 may further include a wire 140, one end of which is electrically connected to the in-ear sounding part 110, and the other end of which is electrically connected to the air conduction sounding part 120, and the wire 140 is passed through the tubular connector.
[0058] The in-ear sound part 110 and the air conduction sound part 120 are electrically connected via a wire 140. In a possible application, a controller in the earphone 100 is disposed in the in-ear sound part 110 or the air conduction sound part 120 to electrically connect the in-ear sound part 110 and the air conduction sound part 120, so that the controller can control the in-ear sound part 110 and the air conduction sound part 120 to output audio.
[0059] During the process of switching the earphone 100 from the first state to the second state, the in-ear sound part 110 and the air conduction sound part 120 are separated from each other. In order to avoid exposure of the wire 140, the connector 130 is configured to be tubular in shape in this embodiment, and the wire 140 is passed through the tubular connector 130. The tubular connector 130 protects the wire 140 and avoids exposure of the wire 140, which helps to reduce the damage rate of the wire 140.
[0060] Combination Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the in-ear sound producing part 110 includes: a first ear handle 112 and an in-ear earphone head 113, and the in-ear earphone head 113 is connected to the first ear handle 112, and the air conduction sound producing part 120 includes: a second ear handle 122 and an air conduction earphone head 123. In the first state, the first ear handle 112 is connected to the second ear handle 122, and the air conduction earphone head 123 is connected to the second ear handle 122.
[0061] The in-ear earphone head 113 is fixed on the second ear handle 122, and the air conduction earphone head 123 is installed on the second ear handle 122. The main difference between the in-ear sound producing part 110 and the air conduction sound producing part 120 lies in the in-ear earphone head 113 and the air conduction earphone head 123. Therefore, the first ear handle 112 and the second ear handle 122 can be set to have the same structure, which is beneficial to reduce the difficulty of processing the earphone 100.
[0062] A first mounting cavity 111 is disposed in the first ear handle 112 , and a second mounting cavity 121 is disposed in the second ear handle 122 , so that the connecting member 130 can extend into or out of the first ear handle 112 and the second ear handle 122 .
[0063] In some embodiments, optionally, in the first state, a portion of the connector 130 is located in the first ear handle 112 , and another portion of the connector 130 is located in the second ear handle 122 .
[0064] In the first state of the earphone 100, the connector 130 is completely inserted into the in-ear sounding part 110 and the air conduction sounding part 120. In this case, a part of the connector 130 is located in the first ear handle 112, and another part of the connector 130 is located in the second ear handle 122. That is, by designing the lengths of the first installation cavity 111 and the second installation cavity 121, even if most of the connector 130 is located in the first ear handle 112, the connector 130 will not contact the in-ear earphone head 113, thereby avoiding collision between the connector 130 and the components in the in-ear earphone head 113. Similarly, even if most of the connector 130 is located in the second ear handle 122, the connector 130 will not contact the air conduction earphone head 123, thereby avoiding collision between the connector 130 and the components in the air conduction earphone head 123. The above design is conducive to reducing the damage rate of the earphone 100.
[0065] When the user uses it normally, the earphone 100 can be worn normally as TWS, and the head of the TWS can be placed on the ear to listen to music. When the user needs to switch to OWS form, just pull the ear handle of the TWS and the ear handle of the OWS apart. During the pulling process, the first magnetic part 150 and the second magnetic part 160 will separate, and the change in magnetic force will trigger the internal Hall device 170, so that the earphone 100 is converted from the TWS function to the OWS function, and the internal connector 130 will gradually expose the outer surface, so that the earphone 100 becomes the clip form of OWS, which is convenient for users to adapt to different ears.
[0066] When the user wants to convert the earphone 100 into TWS again, he only needs to merge the two ear handles together and store the connecting part 130. At this time, the first magnetic part 150 and the second magnetic part 160 will attract and fix each other, and the change in magnetic force will trigger the Hall switch device again, so that the OWS function and form will become OWS again.
[0067] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the earphone 100 also includes: a first magnetic member 150 and a second magnetic member 160, the first magnetic member 150 is arranged on the in-ear sound producing part 110, and the second magnetic member 160 is arranged on the air conduction sound producing part 120, and in the first state, the first magnetic member 150 and the second magnetic member 160 attract each other.
[0068] A first magnetic member 150 is installed on the in-ear sounding part 110, and a second magnetic member 160 is installed on the air conduction sounding part 120. In the first state, the in-ear sounding part 110 and the air conduction sounding part 120 need to be connected together. In this embodiment, the in-ear sounding part 110 and the air conduction sounding part 120 are attached together by the magnetic attraction of the first magnetic member 150 and the second magnetic member 160. The in-ear sounding part 110 and the air conduction sounding part 120 are fixed together by magnetic attraction. Therefore, there is no need to set a special-shaped connection structure on the in-ear sounding part 110 and the air conduction sounding part 120, which is conducive to simplifying the processing difficulty of the earphone 100. Moreover, fixing the in-ear sounding part 110 and the air conduction sounding part 120 by magnetic attraction is conducive to reducing the difficulty of using the earphone 100 for the user and improving the convenience of using the earphone 100 for the user.
[0069] When the earphone 100 needs to be switched to the second state, the user needs to overcome the magnetic attraction of the first magnetic member 150 and the second magnetic member 160 to separate the in-ear sound-generating part 110 from the air-conduction sound-generating part 120 .
[0070] In this embodiment, mounting grooves are respectively provided on the in-ear sound producing portion 110 and the air conduction sound producing portion 120, and the first magnetic component 150 and the second magnetic component 160 are respectively installed in the mounting grooves in the in-ear sound producing portion 110 and the air conduction sound producing portion 120 to prevent the first magnetic component 150 and the second magnetic component 160 from falling off.
[0071] In a possible application, the first magnetic component 150 is arranged at one end of the in-ear sound portion 110 facing the air conduction sound portion 120, and the second magnetic component 160 is arranged at one end of the air conduction sound portion 120 facing the in-ear sound portion 110. In the first state, the distance between the first magnetic component 150 and the second magnetic component 160 is small, thereby ensuring that a larger magnetic attraction force is generated between the first magnetic component 150 and the second magnetic component 160.
[0072] In some embodiments, optionally, in a first state, the in-ear sound producing part 110 is used to output audio, and in a second state, the air conduction sound producing part 120 is used to output audio.
[0073] When the earphone 100 is in the first state, the user usually has a need to listen to audio through the earphone 100. In this state, the earphone 110 can emit audio while the air conduction sounding part 120 does not need to emit audio. When the earphone 100 is in the second state, the user usually has a need to listen to audio through air conduction. In this state, the air conduction sounding part 120 can emit audio while the earphone 110 does not need to emit audio.
[0074] In the first state, the user usually does not need to use the air conduction pronunciation part 120, so the air conduction pronunciation part 120 does not need to emit audio. In the second state, the user usually does not need to use the in-ear pronunciation part 110, so the in-ear pronunciation part 110 does not need to emit audio. In the above manner, in any use state, audio can be emitted by one pronunciation part, and the other pronunciation part does not need to emit audio, which can reduce the power consumption of the headset 100 and help to improve the battery life of the headset 100.
[0075] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the earphone 100 also includes: a Hall device 170. When the Hall device 170 is arranged on the in-ear sound production part 110, the Hall device 170 is used to obtain the position of the second magnetic part 160. When the Hall device 170 is arranged on the air conduction sound production part 120, the Hall device 170 is used to obtain the position of the first magnetic part 150. Based on the output signal of the Hall device 170, the in-ear sound production part 110 outputs audio or the air conduction sound production part 120 outputs audio.
[0076] The Hall device 170 can be installed in the in-ear sound part 110 or the air conduction sound part 120. For example, the Hall device 170 is installed in the in-ear sound part 110. In the first state, the Hall device 170 and the second magnetic part 160 are arranged relative to each other, and the Hall device 170 can obtain the position of the second magnetic part 160. In the first state, the distance between the Hall device 170 and the second magnetic part 160 is small, and in the second state, the distance between the Hall device 170 and the second magnetic part 160 is large. Therefore, when the earphone 100 switches the use state, the value obtained by the Hall device 170 is different.
[0077] The Hall device 170 can transmit the acquired position information to the controller. The controller determines the current usage status of the earphone 100 based on the signal transmitted by the Hall device 170, and thus can control the in-ear pronunciation part 110 to output audio or the air conduction pronunciation part 120 to output audio according to the usage status of the earphone 100, thereby ensuring that the earphone 100 can accurately control the corresponding pronunciation part to output audio.
[0078] In other embodiments, the Hall device 170 may also be disposed in the air conduction sound producing portion 120 . In the first state, the Hall device 170 is disposed opposite to the first magnetic member 150 .
[0079] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the first magnetic member 150 or the second magnetic member 160 is circumferentially ( Figure 6A mounting notch 161 is provided on the top (as indicated by the arrow at C in the middle), and the Hall device 170 is located in the mounting notch 161 .
[0080] In this embodiment, the first magnetic member 150 and the second magnetic member 160 are both annular structures, and the connecting member 130 can pass through the first magnetic member 150 and the second magnetic member 160 to avoid interference between the first magnetic member 150 and the second magnetic member 160 and the connecting member 130 .
[0081] The first magnetic member 150 and the second magnetic member 160 are both ring-shaped, which is beneficial to increase the surface area of the first magnetic member 150 and the second magnetic member 160 that match each other, so that the first magnetic member 150 and the second magnetic member 160 can be stably fitted.
[0082] When the Hall device 170 is disposed in the in-ear sound producing part 110 , a mounting notch 161 is disposed in the circumferential direction of the first magnetic member 150 , and the Hall device 170 is disposed in the mounting notch 161 . The Hall device 170 is flush with the first magnetic member 150 to prevent the Hall device 170 from being damaged by collision.
[0083] When the Hall device 170 is disposed in the air conduction sound producing portion 120 , a mounting notch 161 is disposed in the circumferential direction of the second magnetic member 160 .
[0084] In some embodiments, optionally, in the second state, one end of the connecting member 130 is attracted to the first magnetic member 150 , and the other end of the connecting member 130 is attracted to the second magnetic member 160 .
[0085] In the second state, the in-ear sounding part 110 and the air conduction sounding part 120 are separated from each other, a part of the connecting member 130 extends out of the in-ear sounding part 110 and the air conduction sounding part 120, and two ends of the connecting member 130 respectively abut against the inner wall of the first installation cavity 111 and the inner wall of the second installation cavity 121. In order to keep the earphone 100 in the second state, in this embodiment, it is specified that the two ends of the connecting member 130 can be attracted to the first magnetic member 150 and the second magnetic member 160 respectively.
[0086] In the second state, one end of the connecting member 130 is close to the first magnetic member 150, and the other end of the connecting member 130 is close to the second magnetic member 160. Under the magnetic attraction of the first magnetic member 150, the first magnetic member 150 restricts the in-ear sounding part 110 from sliding relative to the connecting member 130, and under the magnetic attraction of the second magnetic member 160, the second magnetic member 160 restricts the air conduction sounding part 120 from sliding relative to the connecting member 130.
[0087] Both ends of the connection member 130 may be set to metal materials, or both ends of the connection member 130 may be set to magnetic materials, so that the connection member 130 can be attracted by the first magnetic member 150 and the second magnetic member 160 .
