Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of communication equipment, and specifically relates to a headset. Background Art

[0002] Currently, there are two types of Bluetooth headsets: in-ear headsets and bone conduction headsets. Although in-ear headsets have high sound quality, they can easily cause ear discomfort when worn for a long time and are prone to falling off during exercise. Bone conduction headsets avoid ear discomfort while maintaining awareness of ambient sound, but because sound is transmitted through bones, the sound quality is greatly lost and is often inferior to traditional headsets.

[0003] In the related art, earphones can only adopt an in-ear design or a bone conduction design, which results in a single wearing method of the earphones and cannot meet the user's usage needs in different scenarios. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present application aims to provide an earphone that solves the problem of a single wearing method of the earphone and can meet the user's usage needs in different scenarios.

[0005] In the first aspect, an embodiment of the present application proposes an earphone, which includes: an ear handle portion and a deformation portion, the deformation portion is arranged at one end of the ear handle portion, a controller is arranged in the ear handle portion, a speaker unit and a bone conduction vibrator unit are arranged in the deformation portion, and the deformation portion has a first form and a second form; when the deformation portion is in the first form, the controller controls the speaker unit to work; when the deformation portion is in the second form, the controller controls the bone conduction vibrator unit to work.

[0006] In an embodiment of the present application, the earphone includes a deformation portion that can generate deformation, and an ear handle portion connected to the deformation portion. A controller is also provided in the ear handle portion. A speaker unit and a bone conduction vibrator unit are provided in the deformation portion. When the deformation portion is in a first form, the controller controls the speaker unit to work, and the sound can be transmitted outward through the sound outlet, so that the earphone operates in the sound mode of an in-ear earphone. When the deformation portion is in a second form, the controller controls the bone conduction vibrator unit to operate, and the vibration can be transmitted to the wearer's skull through the deformation portion, so that the earphone can operate in the sound mode of a bone conduction earphone, which solves the problem of a single wearing method of the earphone and can meet the user's usage needs in different scenarios.

[0025] Combine the following Figures 1 to 10 The present invention describes an earphone according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0026] In some embodiments of the present application, a headset is provided. Figure 1 One of the structural schematic diagrams of headphones provided in some embodiments of the present application is shown, Figure 2 FIG. 2 shows a second structural schematic diagram of an earphone provided in some embodiments of the present application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the earphone 100 comprises:

[0027] The ear handle portion 102 and the deformation portion 101, the deformation portion 101 is arranged at one end of the ear handle portion 102, the ear handle portion 102 is provided with a controller 122, the deformation portion 101 is provided with a speaker unit 103 and a bone conduction vibrator unit 104, and the deformation portion 101 has a first form and a second form; when the deformation portion 101 is in the first form, the controller 122 controls the speaker unit 103 to work; when the deformation portion 101 is in the second form, the controller 122 controls the bone conduction vibrator unit 104 to work.

[0028] In the embodiment of the present application, the earphone 100 includes a deformable portion 101 and an ear handle portion 102 connected to each other, a speaker unit 103 and a bone conduction vibrator unit 104 are arranged on the deformable portion 101, and a controller 122 is arranged in the ear handle portion 102, and the controller 122 can control at least one of the speaker unit 103 and the bone conduction vibrator unit 104 to work. The deformable portion 101 is a flexible structure, and the deformable portion 101 can be deformed by force, wherein the earphone 100 is in different forms in different operating modes. Specifically, the deformable portion 101 has a first form and a second form. When the deformable portion 101 is in the first form, the earphone 100 is in an in-ear operating state, at which time at least a portion of the deformable portion 101 is located in the ear canal of the wearer. When the deformable portion 101 is in the second form, the earphone 100 is in a bone conduction operating state, at which time the deformable portion 101 is entirely located outside the ear canal of the wearer, and the deformable portion 101 fits the wearer's head, and conducts to the auditory nerve through the wearer's skull and zygomatic bone.

[0029] The first form of the deformation portion 101 is described below:

[0030] When the user needs to wear the earphone 100 in the ear, the wearer manually adjusts the deformation part 101 to the first state. At this time, a sound outlet channel is enclosed inside the deformation part 101, and the two ends of the sound outlet channel are respectively connected to the output end of the speaker unit 103 and the sound outlet hole 120. The wearer wears at least a part of the deformation part 101 inside the ear canal, and the earphone 100 controls the speaker unit 103 to operate and sound. The sound emitted by the speaker unit 103 is transmitted to the sound outlet hole 120 through the sound outlet channel, and then transmitted to the wearer's ear canal through the sound outlet hole 120.

[0031] The second form of the deformation portion 101 is described below:

[0032] When the user needs to wear the earphone 100 in bone conduction mode, the wearer manually adjusts the deformation part 101 to the second form, and the output end of the bone conduction vibrator unit 104 of the deformation part 101 is distributed on the side of the deformation part 101. The wearer wears the side of the deformation part 101 against the auricle. At this time, the speaker unit 103 is located at the mastoid bone of the wearer, and the bone conduction vibrator unit 104 fits the head of the wearer. The earphone 100 controls the speaker unit 103 and the bone conduction vibrator unit 104 to sound synchronously. The speaker unit 103 and the bone conduction vibrator unit 104 can drive the wearer's skull to vibrate and directly transmit the sound to the auditory nerve.

[0033] Exemplarily, the bone conduction vibrator unit 104 may be a matrix of miniature bone conduction vibrators and a fixing bracket. The bone conduction vibrator unit 104 is embedded in the deformation portion 101 and can be deformed along with the deformation of the deformation portion 101 .

[0034] It should be noted that when the deformation portion 101 is in the second form, the controller 122 can be selected to control the speaker unit 103 and the bone conduction vibrator unit 104 to operate simultaneously to increase the volume of the bone conduction generation mode.

[0035] For example, Figure 1 The first configuration shown includes a compressed state, such as Figure 2 The second form shown includes a tensile state, for example: when the deformation portion 101 is in a tensile state, the deformation portion 101 is cylindrical, and when the deformation portion 101 is in a compressed state, the middle portion of the deformation portion 101 extends in a radial direction, and both ends of the deformation portion 101 are shortened in an axial direction.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present application, the earphone 100 includes a deformation portion 101 that can generate deformation, and an ear handle portion 102 connected to the deformation portion 101. A controller 122 is also provided in the ear handle portion 102. A speaker unit 103 and a bone conduction vibrator unit 104 are provided in the deformation portion 101. When the deformation portion 101 is in a first form, the controller 122 controls the speaker unit 103 to work, and the sound can be transmitted outward through the sound outlet 120, so that the earphone 100 operates in the sound-emitting mode of the in-ear earphone 100. When the deformation portion 101 is in a second form, the controller 122 controls the bone conduction vibrator unit 104 to operate, and the vibration can be transmitted to the wearer's skull through the deformation portion 101, so that the earphone 100 can operate in the sound-emitting mode of the bone conduction earphone 100, which solves the problem of a single wearing method of the earphone 100 and can meet the user's usage needs in different scenarios.

[0037] Figure 3 One of the structural schematic diagrams of the deformation part 101 provided in some embodiments of the present application is shown, Figure 4 FIG. 2 shows a second structural schematic diagram of the deformation portion 101 provided in some embodiments of the present application. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the number of bone conduction vibrator units 104 is multiple, and the deformation part 101 includes:

[0038] A flexible component 105, a plurality of bone conduction vibrator units 104 are embedded in the flexible component 105, and a speaker unit 103 is arranged at one end of the flexible component 105 close to the ear handle portion 102; wherein, when the deformation portion 101 is in the first form, the plurality of bone conduction vibrator units 104 are distributed at intervals on the flexible component 105; when the deformation portion 101 is in the second form, the plurality of bone conduction vibrator units 104 are gathered in a first area of ​​the flexible component 105, and the first area is used to fit the wearer's ear.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present application, there are multiple bone conduction vibrator units 104. When the deformation portion 101 is in the second form, multiple bone conduction vibrator units 104 operate synchronously, so that the earphone 100 operates in the bone conduction mode. Multiple bone conduction vibrator units 104 are embedded in the flexible component 105. The flexible component 105 can be deformed by force. The user applies external force to the flexible component 105, and the deformation portion 101 switches between the first form and the second form. When the deformation portion 101 is in different deformation states, multiple bone conduction vibrator units 104 are located in different positions, so that the earphone 100 can provide good sound quality and appropriate volume in both the in-ear wearing mode and the bone conduction wearing mode.

[0040] The following is an explanation of the in-ear wearing method for users:

[0041] When the user needs to wear the headset in an in-ear style, the user squeezes the flexible component 105 to make the flexible component 105 in a compressed state, and the deformation portion 101 is in the first form, that is, the deformation portion 101 is in a compressed state, which is convenient for the user to wear the deformation portion 101 in the ear canal. At this time, since the bone conduction vibrator unit 104 is not needed to operate, there is no need to adjust the positions of the multiple bone conduction vibrator units 104 in the flexible component 105, so the multiple bone conduction vibrator units 104 are distributed at intervals in the flexible component 105.

[0042] The following is an explanation of how users wear bone conduction headsets:

[0043] When the user needs to wear the headset in a bone conduction wearing manner, the user stretches the flexible component 105 so that the flexible component 105 is in a stretched state, and the deformation portion 101 is in the second form, that is, the deformation portion 101 is in a stretched state, so that the user can wear the deformation portion 101 on the auricle. At this time, since the bone conduction vibrator unit 104 needs to work and make sound, it is necessary to drive multiple bone conduction vibrator units 104 to gather in the first area of ​​the flexible component 105, and the first area fits the user's ear, so that when the multiple bone conduction vibrator units 104 work, the headset 100 can transmit sound to the user's auditory nerve by bone conduction, thereby improving the sound effect of the headset 100 in the bone conduction mode.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, a flexible component 105 is provided in the deformation portion 101, and a plurality of bone conduction vibrator units 104 are movably provided inside the flexible component 105, and when the deformation portion 101 is in the first form, the sound effect of the earphone 100 in the in-ear wearing mode is improved, and when the deformation portion 101 is in the second form, the sound effect of the earphone 100 in the bone conduction wearing mode is improved.

[0045] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the flexible component 105 includes: a first flexible structure 107 and a second flexible structure 108. A vibrator slideway 114 is arranged in the first flexible structure 107, and a plurality of bone conduction vibrator units 104 are slidably arranged in the vibrator slideway 114, and the first area is located at one end of the vibrator slideway 114 away from the ear handle portion 102; the second flexible structure 108 is sleeved on the first flexible structure 107.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present application, the flexible component 105 includes a first flexible structure 107 and a second flexible structure 108 which are mutually sleeved, the first flexible structure 107 is located inside the second flexible structure 108, and the first flexible structure 107 and the second flexible structure 108 are both made of flexible materials, and the first flexible structure 107 and the second flexible structure 108 can be deformed by applying external force to the first flexible structure 107 and the second flexible structure 108. A vibrator slideway 114 is provided inside the first flexible structure 107, and a plurality of bone conduction vibrator units 104 are slidably arranged inside the vibrator slideway 114, and the second flexible structure 108 is sleeved outside the first flexible structure 107 to prevent the bone conduction vibrator units 104 from being exposed to the outside, thereby protecting the first flexible structure 107 and the bone conduction vibrator units 104. One end of the mutually nested first flexible structure 107 and the second flexible structure 108 is connected to the ear handle portion 102 . When the deformation portion 101 is in the second form, the first area where multiple bone conduction vibrator units 104 are gathered is the other end of the first flexible structure 107 .

[0047] Exemplarily, the first flexible structure 107 is a flexible pipe, the second flexible structure 108 is also a flexible pipe, and the vibrator slideway 114 is disposed on the inner side wall of the first flexible structure 107 .

[0048] For example, the number of the vibrator slideways 114 may be multiple or one. When the number of the vibrator slideways 114 is multiple, the multiple vibrator slideways 114 are distributed along the circumference of the first flexible structure 107, and each vibrator slideway 114 extends along the axial direction of the first flexible structure 107. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The middle arrow A shows the axial direction. For example, the number of vibrator slideways 114 is N, the number of bone conduction vibrator units 104 is M, and the number of bone conduction vibrator units 104 in each vibrator slideway 114 is P, where N=M×P, and N, M and P are all positive integers.

[0049] It should be noted that when the deformation part 101 is in the first form, the flexible component 105 is in a compressed state, the length of the deformation part 101 in the compressed state is small, and the middle part of the deformation part 101 is in a protruding state. At this time, inserting the deformation part 101 into the ear canal of the wearer can increase the friction between the deformation part 101 and the ear canal, and prevent the deformation part 101 from falling off the ear canal. When the deformation part 101 is in the second form, the flexible component 105 is in a stretched state, the length of the deformation part 101 in the stretched state is long, and the deformation part 101 can be deformed, which is convenient for the user to bend the deformation part 101 and wear it around the ear.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, a first flexible structure 107 and a second flexible structure 108 which are mutually nested are provided in the deformation portion 101, and a vibrator slide 114 is provided in the first flexible structure 107, so that the bone conduction vibrator unit 104 can slide in the vibrator slide 114. After the wearer adjusts the shape of the deformation portion 101, the bone conduction vibrator unit 104 can also be driven to slide in the vibrator slide 114, thereby adjusting the position of the bone conduction vibrator unit 104 in the deformation portion 101, thereby further improving the effect of the earphone 100 in outputting audio in the bone conduction mode.

[0051] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the deformation portion 101 also includes: a driving component 106 connected to the first flexible structure 107 , and the driving component 106 is used to drive the multiple bone conduction vibrator units 104 to slide in the vibrator slide 114 .

[0052] In the embodiment of the present application, a driving component 106 is provided in the deformation portion 101 , and the driving end of the driving component 106 is in contact with the bone conduction vibrator unit 104 , so that the user can drive the positions of multiple bone conduction vibrator units 104 in the flexible component 105 through the driving component 106 .

[0053] Exemplarily, the driving assembly 106 may be a screw structure, which drives the flexible tube to switch between a tension state and a compression state.

[0054] It should be noted that the deformation state of the deformation portion 101 does not need to be adjusted by the driving component 106. Since the flexible component 105 in the deformation portion 101 is a flexible material structure, the user can directly stretch or compress the flexible component 105 to put the flexible component 105 in a corresponding deformation state. When the deformation portion 101 is in the second state, in order to position the multiple bone conduction vibrator units 104 in the first area that fits the user's ears, the user manually operates the driving component 106 to adjust the positions of the multiple bone conduction vibrator units 104, further improving the sound effect of the earphone 100 in the bone conduction operation mode.

[0055] Figure 5 shows a schematic structural diagram of a first pipe member 109 provided in some embodiments of the present application, Figure 6 shows a schematic structural diagram of a second pipe member 111 provided in some embodiments of the present application, Figure 7 FIG. 3 shows a third structural schematic diagram of the deformation portion 101 provided in some embodiments of the present application, such as Figures 3 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the inner side wall of the first flexible structure 107 is provided with a moving track 121, and the driving assembly 106 includes: a first tube 109 and a second tube 111. The first tube 109 is provided in the first flexible structure 107 and is rotatably connected to the first flexible structure 107, and the first tube 109 is provided with a guide slot 110; the second tube 111 is passed through the first tube 109, and the outer side wall of the second tube 111 is provided with a guide portion 112 and a push portion 113, the guide portion 112 passes through the guide slot 110, and fits with the moving track 121, wherein the push portion 113 is used to push the plurality of bone conduction vibrator units 104 to slide in the vibrator slide 114.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, the driving assembly 106 includes a first tube 109 and a second tube 111. The first tube 109 is arranged inside the first flexible structure 107, and the first tube 109 can rotate relative to the first flexible structure 107. The outer wall of the second tube 111 is provided with a guide portion 112 and a pushing portion 113. The guide portion 112 and the pushing portion 113 are respectively located at the two ends of the outer wall of the second tube 111. The guide portion 112 is located in the guide groove 110 of the first tube 109. The guide portion 112 can slide in the guide groove 110, and the guide portion 112 is in contact with the motion track 121, that is, the motion track 121 can limit the sliding of the guide portion 112 relative to the guide groove 110, so that the guide portion 112 can drive the second tube 111 to slide axially relative to the first flexible structure 107 under the joint action of the motion track 121 and the guide portion 112, so that the pushing portion 113 pushes the bone conduction vibrator unit 104 to slide in the vibrator slide 114.

[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, when the deformation portion 101 is in the first state, the second tube 111 is located inside the first tube 109 , and the bone conduction vibrator unit 104 is distributed in the vibrator slide 114 .

[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, when the deformation portion 101 is in the second form, the first tube 109 is rotated, and the second tube 111 moves to the right along the axial direction of the first flexible structure 107 under the action of the guide portion 112, the guide groove 110 and the motion track 121 until the bone conduction vibrator unit 104 is pushed to the right side of the deformation portion 101.

[0059] It should be noted that the first tube 109 in the driving assembly 106 can be arranged at the first end or the second end of the first flexible structure 107, the first end of the first flexible structure 107 is the end close to the sound outlet 120, and the second end of the first flexible structure 107 is the end close to the first sound-emitting member.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, the driving assembly 106 includes a first tube 109 and a second tube 111, and the guide portion 112 in the second tube 111 can drive the pushing portion 113 of the second tube 111 to push the bone conduction vibrator unit 104 to slide in the vibrator slide 114 under the action of the guide groove 110 of the first tube 109 and the motion track 121 of the first flexible structure 107, so that the wearer can adjust the position of the bone conduction vibrator unit 104 in the deformation portion 101 according to actual needs.

[0061] like Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the guide groove 110 includes: a first sub-groove 115 and a second sub-groove 116, the first sub-groove 115 extends along the axial direction of the first tube 109, the second sub-groove 116 is connected to the first sub-groove 115, and the second sub-groove 116 extends along the axial direction of the first tube 109.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present application, the first sub-groove 115 is a through groove arranged on the first tube 109, the first tube 109 is coaxially arranged with the flexible tube, and the first sub-groove 115 is arranged to be distributed on the side wall of the first tube 109 along the axial direction of the first tube 109. The first sub-groove 115 can limit the axial sliding of the second driving member along the flexible tube to avoid the circumferential movement of the second driving member along the flexible tube.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, the second sub-slot 116 is also a through slot arranged on the first tube 109. The second sub-slot 116 is a limiting slot. The second sub-slot 116 is distributed along the axial direction of the first tube 109. When the first tube 109 rotates to a certain extent, the guide portion 112 of the second driving tube slides from the first sub-slot 115 to the second sub-slot 116, so as to avoid excessive rotation of the first tube 109, which causes the pushing portion 113 to cause excessive squeezing and damage to the bone conduction vibrator unit 104.

[0064] Exemplarily, there are two second sub-slots 116 , and the two second sub-slots 116 are located at two ends of the first sub-slot 115 .

[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the earphone 100 further includes: a flexible connector 117, a first end of the flexible connector 117 is connected to the ear handle portion 102, and a second end of the flexible connector 117 is connected to the deformation portion 101.

[0066] In an embodiment of the present application, the earphone 100 also includes a flexible connector 117, which is disposed between the ear handle portion 102 and the deformation portion 101. The flexible connector 117 can be deformed under the action of an external force. When the wearer wears the earphone 100, the wearer can apply an external force to the deformation portion 101 and the flexible connector 117 according to actual needs to change the shape of the flexible connector 117 and the deformation portion 101, so that the earphone 100 can better fit the wearing position of the wearer.

[0067] It should be noted that a power supply module is provided inside the ear handle 102, and the power supply module is electrically connected to the speaker unit 103 and the bone conduction vibrator unit 104. The speaker unit 103 and the bone conduction vibrator unit 104 can be powered by the power supply module.

Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the deformation portion 101 further includes: a magnetic isolation member 118 , one end of the magnetic isolation member 118 is connected to the flexible tube, and the other end of the magnetic isolation member 118 is connected to the speaker unit 103 .

[0069] In the embodiment of the present application, the deformation part 101 further includes a magnetic isolation member 118, and the magnetic isolation member 118 is disposed between the flexible tube and the speaker unit 103, that is, the speaker unit 103 is connected to the flexible tube through the magnetic isolation member 118. Since the bone conduction vibrator unit 104 includes a plurality of bone conduction vibrators, and the plurality of bone conduction vibrators are disposed in the flexible tube, the flexible tube is isolated from the speaker unit 103 by the magnetic isolation member 118, so that the speaker unit 103 and the bone conduction vibrator unit 104 can avoid mutual influence during operation.

[0070] Exemplarily, the magnetic isolation member 118 may be magnetic isolation foam.

[0071] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the earphone 100 also includes: a Hall sensor 119, which is arranged on the deformation part 101, and the Hall sensor 119 is used to obtain the distance information between the Hall sensor 119 and the speaker unit 103, and transmit the distance information to the controller 122, so that the controller 122 determines whether the deformation part 101 is in the first form or in the second form according to the distance information.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present application, the earphone 100 further includes a Hall sensor 119, which is disposed in the deformation portion 101, and can be embedded in the flexible material of the deformation portion 101. When the wearer stretches or squeezes the deformation portion 101, the distance between the Hall sensor 119 and the speaker unit 103 changes. Since the speaker unit 103 includes a magnet, the voltage of the Hall sensor 119 also changes with the change of the distance. The earphone 100 can determine the distance value between the Hall sensor 119 and the speaker unit 103 through the voltage value of the Hall sensor 119, and determine the shape of the earphone 100, so that the earphone 100 can automatically detect the operating mode required by the wearer, thereby automatically controlling the operating status of the speaker unit 103 and the bone conduction vibrator unit 104.

[0073] Specifically, the distance information is a voltage value output by the Hall sensor 119 , and the Hall sensor 119 transmits the voltage value to the controller 122 , so that the controller 122 can determine whether the deformation portion 101 is currently in the first form or the second form.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present application, by setting a Hall sensor 119 in the earphone 100, the earphone 100 can automatically detect the deformation state of the deformable part 101, and control the operating state of the speaker unit 103 and the bone conduction vibrator unit 104 based on the result of the automatic detection. There is no need for the user to manually adjust the operating state of the speaker unit 103 and the bone conduction vibrator unit 104, thereby improving the convenience of using the earphone 100.

[0075] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, a sound outlet 120 is provided at one end of the deformation portion 101 away from the ear handle portion 102 .

[0076] In the embodiment of the present application, the deformation portion 101 is connected to the ear handle portion 102, and a sound hole 120 is provided at one end of the deformation portion 101 away from the ear diseased part. When the deformation portion 101 is in the first form, the deformation portion 101 can be worn in the ear canal of the user, and the speaker unit 103 is operated to transmit the audio to the ear canal of the user through the sound hole 120, thereby improving the sound effect of the earphone 100 in the in-ear wearing mode.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present application, a method for controlling an earphone is provided, which is applied to the earphone in any of the above embodiments. Fig. 9 A schematic diagram of a flow chart of a method for controlling an earphone provided in some embodiments of the present application is shown. Fig. 9 As shown, the control method of the headset includes:

[0078] Step 902, obtaining the deformation state of the deformation part;

[0079] In the embodiment of the present application, the earphone includes a deformation part, on which a speaker unit, a bone conduction vibrator unit and a sound outlet are arranged, wherein the speaker unit and the sound outlet are arranged at two ends of the deformation part. The deformation part is a flexible component, and the deformation part can be deformed by force.

[0080] Step 904, when the deformation portion is in the first state, controlling the speaker unit to operate;

[0081] Step 906, when the deformation portion is in the second state, control the bone conduction vibrator unit to operate.

[0082] In the embodiment of the present application, the deformable portion of the earphone is in different forms in different operating modes. Specifically, the deformable portion has a first form and a second form. When the deformable portion is in the first form, the earphone is in an in-ear operating state. At this time, at least a portion of the deformable portion is located in the ear canal of the wearer. When the deformable portion is in the second form, the earphone is in a bone conduction operating state. At this time, the entire deformable portion is located outside the ear canal of the wearer, and the deformable portion fits the wearer's head, and conducts to the auditory nerve through the wearer's skull and zygomatic bone. The first form of the deformable portion is described below:

[0083] When the user needs to wear the earphone in the ear, the wearer manually adjusts the deformation part to the first state. At this time, a sound outlet channel is formed inside the deformation part, and the two ends of the sound outlet channel are respectively connected to the output end of the speaker unit and the sound outlet hole. The wearer wears at least a part of the deformation part into the ear canal, and the earphone controls the speaker unit to operate and sound. The sound emitted by the speaker unit is transmitted to the sound outlet hole through the sound outlet channel, and then transmitted to the wearer's ear canal through the sound outlet hole.

[0084] Exemplarily, the speaker unit may be a speaker, or a bone conduction vibrator and a fixed bracket. When the deformation portion is in the first form, the audio generated by the speaker unit can be transmitted to the sound outlet through the sound outlet channel.

[0085] The first form of the deformation portion is described below:

[0086] When the user needs to wear the bone conduction headset, the wearer manually adjusts the deformation part to the second form, and the output end of the bone conduction vibrator unit in the deformation part is distributed on the side of the deformation part. The wearer wears the side of the deformation part against the auricle. At this time, the speaker unit is located at the mastoid bone of the wearer, and the bone conduction vibrator unit fits the wearer's head. The headset controls the bone conduction vibrator unit to sound, or controls the speaker unit and the bone conduction vibrator unit to sound synchronously. The speaker unit and the bone conduction vibrator unit can drive the wearer's skull to vibrate and directly transmit to the auditory nerve.

[0087] In an embodiment of the present application, the earphone includes a deformation portion that can generate deformation, and an ear handle portion connected to the deformation portion. A controller is also provided in the ear handle portion. A speaker unit and a bone conduction vibrator unit are provided in the deformation portion. When the deformation portion is in a first form, the controller controls the speaker unit to work, and the sound can be transmitted outward through the sound outlet, so that the earphone operates in the sound mode of an in-ear earphone. When the deformation portion is in a second form, the controller controls the bone conduction vibrator unit to operate, and the vibration can be transmitted to the wearer's skull through the deformation portion, so that the earphone can operate in the sound mode of a bone conduction earphone, which solves the problem of a single wearing method of the earphone and can meet the user's usage needs in different scenarios.

[0088] In some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the earphone further includes a Hall sensor disposed on the deformation portion, and obtaining the shape of the deformation portion includes:

[0089] Obtain a voltage value at the Hall sensor; determine a target distance value based on the voltage value, the target distance value being the distance value between the Hall sensor and the speaker unit; when the target distance value is within a first distance value range, determine that the deformation portion is in a first form; when the target distance value is within a second distance value range, determine that the deformation portion is in a second form.

[0090] In the embodiment of the present application, the earphone also includes a Hall sensor, which is disposed in the deformation part, and can be embedded in the flexible material of the deformation part. When the wearer stretches or squeezes the deformation part, the distance between the Hall sensor and the speaker unit changes. Since the speaker unit includes a magnet, the voltage of the Hall sensor also changes with the change of the distance. The earphone can determine the target distance value between the Hall sensor and the speaker unit through the voltage value of the Hall sensor, determine the shape of the earphone, and enable the earphone to automatically detect the operating mode required by the wearer, thereby automatically controlling the operating status of the speaker unit and the bone conduction vibrator unit.

[0091] In the embodiment of the present application, there is no intersection between the first distance range and the second distance range, and the first distance range and the second distance range are related to the setting position of the Hall sensor.

[0092] Exemplarily, the minimum value of the first distance range is greater than the maximum value of the second distance range. When the distance between the Hall sensor and the speaker unit is far, it is determined that the earphone is in the in-ear mode, that is, the deformation portion is in the first form. When the distance between the Hall sensor and the speaker unit is close, it is determined that the earphone is in the bone conduction mode, that is, the deformation portion is in the second form.

[0093] Exemplarily, the maximum value of the first distance range is less than the minimum value of the second distance range. When the distance between the Hall sensor and the speaker unit is close, it is determined that the earphone is in the in-ear mode, that is, the deformation portion is in the first form. When the distance between the Hall sensor and the speaker unit is far, it is determined that the earphone is in the bone conduction mode, that is, the deformation portion is in the second form.

[0094] It should be noted that the Hall sensor is a sensor for detecting a magnetic field and generates a corresponding voltage value based on the detected magnetic field. Therefore, by acquiring the voltage value of the Hall sensor, the target distance value between the acquisition device and the speaker unit can be determined.

[0095] Among them, the working principle of the Hall sensor is based on the Hall effect, which is that in a conductor through which current passes, if the conductor is in a magnetic field, a transverse voltage difference will be generated. This voltage difference is called the Hall voltage. When the Hall sensor is located in a magnetic field, if current passes through, due to the effect of the Hall effect, a potential difference will be generated perpendicular to the direction of the current and the direction of the magnetic field. This potential difference is called the Hall voltage, and its magnitude is proportional to the magnitude and direction of the current and magnetic field. By measuring the Hall voltage, that is, the voltage value of the Hall sensor, the strength and direction of the magnetic field can be determined, thereby determining the target distance value between the Hall sensor and the magnet.

[0096] Fig.10 FIG. 4 shows a control schematic diagram of a speaker unit and a bone conduction vibrator unit provided in some embodiments of the present application, such as Fig.10 As shown, the power supply supplies power to the Hall sensor through the processor, drives the speaker unit to make sound through the first power amplifier according to the voltage value at the Hall device, and drives the bone conduction vibrator unit to make sound through the second power amplifier.
