Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sleeping earphones, in particular to a neck ring type sleeping earphone. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous development of the times, difficulty in falling asleep has become a problem for more and more people. How to create a good sleeping environment, meet the user's sleeping needs, and how to better assist users to fall asleep without causing new troubles is the development direction of sleep products.
[0003] There are several popular sleep-related headphone products on the market, including wired headphones, wireless sleep headphones, sleep eye mask headphones, etc. Among them, the limited length of wired headphones will limit the user's space for movement; the flexibility of use is not high. Secondly, the wires themselves are prone to entanglement; thirdly, the friction sound caused by the friction between the headphone wire and clothing or hair brings about the "stethoscope effect"; finally, the wires are also easy to get entangled with the hair of people with long hair. The above points make it difficult for users to use wired headphones in sleep scenarios.
[0004] The high integration of ordinary TWS earphones solves the drawbacks of wired earphones. However, since this type of product integrates various functional components, it is large in size and can easily cause local pain to the user when worn. The large thickness also causes the user to severely compress the ear when lying on the side during sleep, causing pain. At the same time, problems such as falling off during wear also make this type of product a bad experience for users in sleep scenarios.
[0005] For sleep mask-type headphones, please refer to the Chinese patent document CN105963845A. Sleep mask-type headphones will have the problem of elastic band marks left on the user's hair after long-term wearing, requiring the user to wash their hair before going out, which also increases the user's time cost of going out. At the same time, some users will report a slight pain caused by their heads being strangled.
[0006] In summary, all kinds of existing sleep-related headphone products have defects that cannot be ignored in certain aspects and cannot truly create a truly peaceful sleeping environment for users. Summary of the invention

[0025] The structural principle and working principle of the present invention are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] like Figure 1-Figure 6As shown, the present invention is a neck ring type sleeping earphone, characterized in that it includes a sound-generating device 1, a controller 2, an earphone cable 3 and a neck ring 4, the sound-generating device 1 includes an earphone housing 11, a speaker 12 is installed in the earphone housing 11 and there is no battery in the earphone housing 11, and an ear hook 13 is connected to the earphone housing 11; the controller 2 includes a controller shell 21, and a control component and a battery 5 are installed in the controller shell 21; one end of the earphone cable 3 is connected to the control component in the controller shell 21, and the other end of the earphone cable 3 is connected to the speaker 12 in the earphone housing 11, and the ear hook 13 is wrapped around the end of the earphone cable 3 close to the earphone housing 11, and the battery 5 supplies power to the control component and the speaker 12 respectively; the neck ring 4 is used to be worn on the human neck, and a first connecting member 6 and a second connecting member 7 are provided on the neck ring 4, the first connecting member 6 is connected to the earphone cable 3, and the second connecting member 7 is connected to the controller shell 21. The present invention can well avoid the problems of wireless TWS earphones being difficult to find after falling off and having short battery life, and also reduce the "stethoscope effect" of wired earphones, so as to create a comfortable sleeping environment for users and bring a good user experience; the present invention transfers the battery 5 into the controller 2, reduces the volume and thickness of the sound-generating device 1, and when the user wears it while sleeping on the side, the pain caused by the pressure of the sound-generating device 1 will be greatly reduced, so that the user can fall asleep comfortably; the present invention defines the position of the controller 2 on the human body through the neck ring 4, which falls on the human clavicle. This design shortens the earphone cable 3 and avoids the risk of the sound-generating device 1 being pulled off due to the excessively long earphone cable 3 being hooked on surrounding objects; the earphone housing 11 of the present invention is connected with an ear hook 13, which can be designed to wrap around the ear to prevent the earphone cable 3 from falling off. The wrapping around the ear design can effectively reduce the stethoscope effect, and the wrapping around the ear part can also be used as the ear hook 13 with an anti-falling design, which ensures the stability of the user wearing the sound-generating device 1 and ensures that the user will not fall off easily when performing large-scale turning over and other actions.
[0027] like Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, the sound-generating device 1 further includes a silicone earmuff 14, which is sleeved outside the earphone housing 11, and the silicone earmuff 14 is integrally connected with a silicone ear wing 15. The outer shape of the earphone housing 11 and the silicone earmuff 14 is adapted to the shape of the concha cavity of the human ear, so that the earphone housing 11 and the silicone earmuff 14 can be positioned in the concha cavity of the human ear, and the silicone ear wing 15 of the silicone earmuff 14 is adapted to the shape of the concha natrium of the human ear, so that the silicone ear wing 15 can be inserted into the concha natrium of the human ear and supported by the auricle. The silicone earmuff 14 and the silicone ear wing 15 of the present invention are provided, which can not only provide wearing comfort, but also form a double anti-falling effect together with the ear hook, the silicone earmuff 14 is inserted into the concha cavity of the human ear, and the silicone ear wing 15 is inserted into the concha natrium of the human ear, so as to be supported in the auricle of the user, further ensuring the stability of the user wearing the sound-generating device 1, and further ensuring that the user will not easily fall off when a large-scale turning over occurs.
[0028] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the earphone housing 11 of the sound-generating device 1 is provided with an SR connector 16, one end of the ear hook 13 is connected to the SR connector 16, and a flexible metal wire is provided inside the ear hook 13. The SR connector 16 of the sound-generating device 1 is also a part of the ear hook, which does not contain a metal wire. This section will fit in the depression above the tragus of the human body. There is no hard object in the ear hook part of this area, and the fitting freedom is higher, which reduces the pressure pain caused by the user when lying on the side. In addition, the design of the earphone 13 around the ear can also greatly reduce the pulling of the earphone cable 3 at the SR connector 16, extend the service life of the product, and improve the durability of the product.
[0029] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the earphone housing 11 of the sound-generating device 1 is connected to a silicone ear cap 17 for inserting into the external auditory canal of a human ear.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the controller 2 also includes an anti-skid pad 22, which is installed on the rear side of the controller housing 21. The anti-skid silicone pad is made of skin-friendly material, which can increase the friction on the skin surface, effectively limit the range of motion of the controller, and prevent the controller from slipping. One end of the second connecting member 7 is connected to the upper end of the controller housing 21, and the other end of the second connecting member 7 is integrally connected to the upper end of the anti-skid pad 22, and the middle part of the second connecting member 7 is sleeved on the neck ring 4; the upper end of the controller housing 21 is provided with a wire outlet 211, and the wire outlet 211 corresponds to the position of the second connecting member 7, and one end of the headphone cable 3 passes through the second connecting member 7 and the wire outlet 211; the second connecting member 7 and the anti-skid pad 22 are made of silicone material.
[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the control component includes a control circuit board 23, a sound control button 24 and a memory. The battery 5, the sound control button 24 and the memory are electrically connected to the control circuit board 23 respectively.
