[0026] In order to make the technical problems solved by this application, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved more clearly, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are further described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] In the description of this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected", "connected", and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0028] In the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or may include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above", "above" and "above" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below", "below" and "below" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0029] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment provides an ear-clip earphone, comprising: an ear clip 1, a rotating component 2 and an earphone 3, wherein the ear clip 1 is provided with an ear clipping position 101 on a side opposite to the ear, and a slide groove 102 is provided on a side of the ear clip 1 away from the ear; the rotating component 2 is slidably mounted on the slide groove 102, and a mounting position 2021 is further provided on the rotating component 2; the earphone 3 is mounted on the mounting position 2021, and the earphone 3 can be rotated relative to the ear clip 1 through the rotating component 2, so that the sound outlet 308 of the earphone 3 moves back and forth between a far-ear position away from the ear and a near-ear position close to the ear.

[0030] Based on the above scheme, the ear clip 1 as a whole is an annular structure with a notch, and its inner annular surface forms an ear clamping position 101, which can be clamped on the ear, and the outer annular surface is provided with a slide groove 102, and part of the rotating component 2 is embedded in the slide groove 102, and the rotating component 2 can slide in the slide groove 102. Since the ear clip 1 is annular, the slide groove 102 is also annular. In this way, the rotating component 2 can be regarded as making a circular rotation during the sliding process, and the earphone 3 is installed at the installation position 2021 on the rotating component 2, that is, the earphone 3 will synchronously follow the movement of the rotating component 2. For ease of understanding, the end of the slide 102 located on the inner side of the ear is defined as the initial end, and the end located on the outer side of the ear is defined as the terminal end. When the rotating component 2 is at the initial end of the slide 102, the earphone 3 is closest to the periosteum of the ear, which is considered to be a near-ear position. When the rotating component 2 is at the terminal end of the slide 102, the earphone 3 is farthest from the periosteum of the ear, which is considered to be a far-ear position. Through the sliding cooperation between the rotating component 2 and the slide 102, the earphone 3 can be rotated to any position, that is, the earphone 3 can stop at the near-ear position, the far-ear position, and any position between the two positions. The user can make adaptive adjustments according to their own listening needs. In this scheme, the earphone 3 is worn in an ear-clip style through the assembly and cooperation of the ear clip 1, the rotating component 2, and the earphone 3. At the same time, the earphone 3 can adjust the specific position through the rotating component 2, avoiding the situation where the in-ear earphone is easily damaged by the insertion, and can also ensure that the position of the earphone 3 is moderately away from the periosteum of the ear to facilitate the improvement of the listening quality. It is equivalent to combining the advantages of the clip-on earphone and the in-ear earphone, while solving the defects of the two wearing methods, greatly improving the wearing comfort of the earphone 3.

[0031] It should be noted that the ear clip 1 has a certain elasticity, and can be easily clipped on the ear by expanding the ear clip position 101 through elastic deformation, and then self-recovery to clamp the ear to prevent it from falling off. Alternatively, a memory metal is placed inside the ear clip 1, and the ear clip 1 is reset to achieve clamping through the memory property of the memory metal.

[0032] Preferably, if Figure 4As shown, the rotating assembly 2 is a split structure, specifically including a rotating member 201 and a mounting member 202. Part of the rotating member 201 is embedded in the slide slot 102 and can slide along the slide slot 102. The remaining part of the rotating member 201 is exposed outside the slide slot 102. The mounting member 202 is installed on the side of the rotating member 201 away from the ear clip 1, that is, the mounting member 202 is installed on the structure of the rotating member 201 exposed outside the slide slot 102. The mounting position 2021 is provided on the mounting member 202. The structure where the mounting position 2021 is provided is completely staggered with the ear clip 1 to avoid unnecessary friction resistance during the sliding process. In addition, the rotating member 201 and the mounting member 202 of the split design are easy to disassemble, and if one of the components is damaged, only the corresponding damaged component needs to be replaced, and the entire rotating assembly 2 does not need to be replaced, which can effectively save production and assembly costs.

[0033] In order to add one more form to the position adjustment of the earphone 3, the connection mode of the mounting member 202 and the rotating member 201 is designed to be a rotating mode, that is, the mounting member 202 is rotatably mounted on the rotating member 201, so that the earphone 3 can achieve 360° rotation relative to the ear clip 1 in the direction perpendicular to the slide slot 102. In general, the rotating member 201 is slidably mounted in the slide slot 102, the mounting member 202 is rotatably mounted on the rotating member 201, and the earphone 3 is mounted on the mounting member 202. The sliding of the rotating member 201 drives the mounting member 202 and the earphone 3 to rotate along the direction of the slide slot 102, and the rotation of the mounting member 202 relative to the rotating member 201 drives the earphone 3 to rotate, that is, the earphone 3 has at least two directions of movement. The purpose of achieving 360° rotation of the earphone 3 relative to the ear clip 1 is to combine the sliding angle into more different rotation angles to adapt to more users with different needs.

[0034] Furthermore, if Figure 6 As shown, the rotating member 201 includes a sliding portion 2011 and a rotating portion 2012, the sliding portion 2011 is embedded in the slide groove 102, and the rotating portion 2012 is fixed on the sliding portion 2011, the sliding portion 2011 is in a square shape, and the rotating portion 2012 is in a cylindrical shape. A rotating shaft sleeve 2023 is convexly provided on one side of the mounting member 202 relative to the rotating member 201, and the rotating portion 2012 is rotatably inserted in the rotating shaft sleeve 2023. The mounting member 202 can achieve 360° rotation relative to the rotating member 201 through the cooperation between the rotating portion 2012 and the rotating shaft sleeve 2023, and the rotating portion 2012 and the rotating shaft sleeve 2023 are both convexly provided, so that a certain gap can be left between the mounting member 202 and the clamping ear to avoid collision.

[0035] In some embodiments, Figure 3As shown, the limiting side walls 103 for limiting the sliding part 2011 are protruded on both sides in a direction perpendicular to the slide groove 102, and the limiting side walls 103 are arranged opposite to the slide groove 102 along the opening direction of the slide groove 102. A gap is formed between the limiting side walls 103 and the slide groove 102, and the gap is adapted to the size of the sliding part 2011. The sliding part 2011 is embedded in the gap. The limiting of the limiting side walls 103 can prevent the sliding part 2011 from falling off, and the range of the limiting side walls 103 is corresponding to the range of the slide groove 102, so that it can be ensured that the sliding part 2011 will not be separated during the entire sliding process, ensuring stability during the adjustment process.

[0036] At the same time, in order to facilitate the installation of the sliding part 2011 into the gap between the slide groove 102 and the limiting side wall 103, the ends of the limiting side walls 103 on both sides are recessed in opposite directions to form openings 104 for the sliding part 2011 to be placed in. In simple terms, a portion is dug out at the ends of the limiting side walls 103 on both sides to form an opening 104, and the size of the opening 104 is consistent with that of the slide groove 102, or in other words, the size of the opening 104 is consistent with that of the sliding part 2011, and the sliding part 2011 is placed into the slide groove 102 from the opening 104, and slides along the initial end direction to be embedded in the gap between the limiting side wall 103 and the slide groove 102 to complete the assembly.

[0037] In addition, in order to prevent the sliding part 2011 from accidentally detaching in the case of non-active disassembly, a slidable locking member is provided at the opening 104, and the opening 104 can be closed by the locking member. In this way, during use, the locking member can prevent the sliding part 2011 from accidentally falling off and causing the earphone 3 to fall and be damaged.

[0038] Alternatively, if Figure 5As shown, the mounting member 202 is annular, and a plurality of guide locking portions 2022 are convexly provided on the inner wall surface of the mounting member 202 at intervals, and a guide locking groove 3011 is provided on the outer wall surface of the earphone 3 for guiding and locking with the guide locking portion 2022 . For ease of understanding, the direction of sliding along the slide groove 102 is defined as the first direction, the direction of rotation of the mounting member 202 relative to the rotating member 201 is defined as the second direction, and the direction in which the earphone 3 moves forward and backward relative to the mounting member 202 is defined as the third direction. On the basis of the earphone 3 having adjustments in the first direction and the second direction, adjustment in the third direction is further added. Specifically, through the cooperation between the guide locking portion 2022 and the guide locking groove 3011, the guide locking portion 2022 is stuck in the guide locking groove 3011 and can slide forward and backward along the guide locking groove 3011. That is to say, the earphone 3 can move forward and backward relative to the mounting member 202. In this way, the specific position adjustment of the sound outlet 308 of the earphone 3 has an additional adjustment in the third direction. Moving toward the ear is forward movement, and moving away from the ear is backward movement. When the sound outlet 308 of the earphone 3 is moved forward, it is close to the periosteum of the ear, and the sound can be heard more clearly. When it is moved backward, it is far away from the periosteum of the ear, which can avoid excessive volume damaging the hearing. It can be freely adjusted according to personal needs. Based on this solution, the earphone 3 has three adjustment directions. The first direction, the second direction and the third direction can be combined with each other to form different adjustment angles. It can be a combination adjustment of the three directions or a combination adjustment of two directions. There are many ways of combined adjustment, so as to better meet the wearing needs of most users.

[0039] Specifically, Figure 7 As shown, there are four guide locking grooves 3011, which are evenly spaced on the outer wall of the earphone 3, and four corresponding guide locking parts 2022 are also provided, which can ensure the stability of the earphone 3 during movement and prevent position displacement.

[0040] It is worth mentioning that during the adjustment process of the earphone 3 in the above three directions, the adjusted position needs to be effectively locked. The locking methods include but are not limited to the following. The first is to lock by forming friction damping through interference fit. In simple terms, it is to lock by friction. This method does not require additional locking structures and is easy to assemble. The second is to lock by setting a locking structure, such as setting multiple locking positions in the slide groove 102, and protruding a locking part on the sliding part 2011. When the locking part slides to the corresponding locking position, the locking part is locked into the locking position to complete the locking.

[0041] Optionally, the earphone 3 comprises a housing 301 and an end cap 302, one end of the housing 301 is provided with a sound outlet 3012, the end cap 302 is detachably mounted on the other end of the housing 301, the guide locking groove 3011 is provided on the housing 301 and extends in the direction of the end cap 302, and the end cap 302 can abut against the guide locking portion 2022 to limit the movement stroke of the earphone 3. In this solution, since the mounting member 202 is sleeved on the housing 301, and the guide locking groove 3011 is provided on the surface of the housing 301 and one end extends in the direction of the end cap 302, and the other end does not exceed the edge of the housing 301, it is equivalent to that the end cap 302 and the edge of the housing 301 can effectively limit the sliding formation of the guide locking portion 2022, thereby limiting the movement formation of the earphone 3, and avoiding the situation of separation due to excessive movement.

[0042] Optionally, the earphone 3 further includes a speaker 303, a battery 304, a bracket 305, a circuit board 306 and a charging spring pin 307. The bracket 305 is installed inside the housing 301. The battery 304 and the circuit board 306 are both installed on the bracket 305. The speaker 303 is installed at the sound outlet 3012. The charging spring pin 307 is electrically connected to the battery 304 through a conductive wire. In this solution, the bracket 305 plays a role in supporting and fixing the battery 304 and the circuit board 306. The battery 304 provides current for the speaker 303 and the circuit board 306. The circuit board 306 can adjust the volume of the speaker 303. Part of the charging spring pin 307 is exposed outside the end cover 302. The battery 304 can be charged through the charging spring pin 307.

[0043] In summary, the present application combines the advantages of traditional clip-on earphones and in-ear earphones, and solves the technical problems that traditional clip-on earphones and in-ear earphones cannot solve, so that the earphones 3 do not enter the ears and do not hurt the ears. The earphones 3 are adjustable in three directions to suit people with different ears to the greatest extent. Moreover, the earphones 3, the rotating assembly 2 and the ear clip 1 are detachable, which is convenient for storage and saves storage space.
