[0058] The applicant provides an earphone 100 .
[0059] Reference Figures 1 to 3 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the present invention provides an earphone 100, which includes a housing 10, a mounting base 20 and a camera 30. The mounting base 20 includes a connecting shaft 21 and a bracket 22 connected to the connecting shaft 21. The connecting shaft 21 is rotatably mounted on the housing 10. A rotating shaft 23 is provided on the bracket 22. The central axis of the connecting shaft 21 is set at an angle to the central axis of the rotating shaft 23. The camera 30 is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 23.
[0060] The earphones 100 referred to in the present invention can be headphones, in-ear headphones, or earhook headphones. Earhook headphones refer to headphones 100 that are hung on the ear. The earphones 100 include a housing 10, a mounting base 20, and a camera 30. A control component 70 and a speaker 80 can be disposed within the housing 10. The control component 70 includes a printed circuit board and components disposed on the printed circuit board. The camera 30 can include a camera 32. The camera 32 can take photos and videos, and can also send the captured images to a chip on the printed circuit board for image recognition. For example, the camera 30 can be used to perform gesture operations on the earphones 100 to control the functions of the earphones 100, thereby increasing human-computer interaction.
[0061] In the above-described embodiment of the present invention, a mounting base 20 is provided on the housing 10. Specifically, the mounting base 20 includes a connecting shaft 21 and a bracket 22 mounted on the connecting shaft 21. The bracket 22 is provided with a rotating shaft 23. Of course, the rotating shaft 23 can also rotate about the bracket 22. The camera 30 is mounted on the rotating shaft 23 and rotates therewith. In this way, the camera 30 can rotate about the central axis of the rotating shaft 23, thereby allowing the camera 30 to adjust its shooting angle around the central axis of the rotating shaft 23. Furthermore, the connecting shaft 21 is rotatably mounted on the housing 10 and can rotate about its own central axis on the housing 10. This rotation of the connecting shaft 21 drives the bracket 22 and the camera 30 mounted thereon to rotate, thereby allowing the camera 30 to adjust its shooting angle around the central axis of the connecting shaft 21. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the central axis of the connecting shaft 21 and the central axis of the rotating shaft 23 are arranged at an angle. That is, their central axes are not parallel and certainly do not overlap. This allows adjustment of the camera 30's shooting angle in at least two dimensions, rather than a single dimension. This broadens the adjustment range of the camera 30's shooting angle. In a specific embodiment, the central axis of the connecting shaft 21 and the central axis of the rotating shaft 23 are perpendicular to each other. This allows adjustment of the camera 30's shooting angle over a wider range. When the scene to be captured is above, below, or tilted by the earphone 100, or when the shooting angle is tilted, or when the scene to be captured is not in the center, this embodiment allows the camera 30's shooting angle to be adjusted by rotating the rotating shaft 23 and / or the connecting shaft 21, ensuring that the camera 30 faces the scene to be captured and that the scene to be captured is centered in the frame, meeting the user's desired shooting effect.
[0062] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the bracket 22 includes a fixed plate 221 and two side plates 222 disposed oppositely to the fixed plate 221. The fixed plate 221 is connected to the connecting shaft 21. Each side plate 222 is provided with a through hole 2221, through which the rotating shaft 23 passes. The entire bracket 22 can be a U-shaped bracket 22, with the fixed plate 221 at the bottom and the two side plates 222 located on the same side of the fixed plate 221 and disposed oppositely. The fixed plate 221 is connected to the connecting shaft 21, and the bracket 22 is driven to rotate by the connecting shaft 21. Each side plate 222 is provided with a through hole 2221. The rotating shaft 23 passes through the through hole 2221 and is mounted on the through hole 2221. The rotating shaft 23 can be rotatably mounted on the through hole 2221 or fixedly mounted. The camera 30 is mounted on the rotating shaft 23 and can rotate about the central axis of the rotating shaft 23. The rotating shaft 23 may include two sub-shafts, which are connected to the through holes 2221 one by one, and the two sub-shafts are respectively installed on both sides of the camera 30, so that the camera 30 can rotate around the central axis of the rotating shaft 23, that is, the central axis of the two sub-shafts, and can also drive the camera 30 to rotate around the central axis of the connecting shaft 21 through the bracket 22 under the drive of the connecting shaft 21.
[0063] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the camera element 30 includes a shell 31 and a camera 32 arranged on the shell 31. A stop portion 311 is provided on the shell 31, and a plurality of stop positions are provided on the side plate 222. The plurality of stop positions are arranged around the outer periphery of the through hole 2221, and the stop portion 311 is used to engage with any of the stop positions.
[0064] The housing 31 is provided with a mounting hole, which is generally located in the middle of the housing 31. The camera 32 is mounted in the mounting hole. The camera 32 serves to capture images and can take photos or videos. A stopper 311 is provided on the side of the housing 31 facing the side panel 222. The side panel 222 is provided with multiple stoppers, and the multiple stoppers are evenly arranged around the periphery of the through hole 2221. In this way, when the camera 30 rotates about the rotation axis 23, the stopper 311 can selectively engage with any of the stoppers. Here, the engagement is a movable connection. By providing the engagement between the stopper 311 and the stoppers, the camera 30 can be temporarily fixed after the position is adjusted, and the adjusted shooting angle can be maintained without external force. In this way, the stopper 311 can be rotated to engage with different stoppers, thereby adjusting the shooting angle. As for the specific form of the stop portion 311 and the stop position, this application does not make any specific restrictions. It can be a combination of a buckle and a bayonet, or a combination of an elastic rod and a recessed slot.
[0065] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the stop portion 311 includes a stop rod 3111 , the stop position includes a groove 2222 , and the stop rod 3111 is engaged with the groove 2222 .
[0066] The stop rod 3111 is rod-shaped and extends from the surface of the housing 31 toward the direction where the stop position is located. The stop rod 3111 here can be made of a material with a certain elasticity and is an elastic rod. In this way, the stop rod 3111 can slide into the groove 2222 by forming a small shape. After sliding into the groove 2222, it recovers its deformation and generates a contact force with the groove 2222, so that the two have a certain clamping strength. Of course, under the action of external force, the stop rod 3111 can also be separated from the groove 2222 with which it is clamped and rotated to be clamped with other grooves 2222 to achieve adjustment of the shooting angle. As for the number of grooves 2222, it can be 3, 4, 6 or 8. The present application does not specifically limit the number of grooves 2222. Of course, those skilled in the art will understand that the stop portion 311 can also be set as a groove 2222, and the stop position can be set as the stop rod 3111. In a specific embodiment, the groove 2222 may be an arc-shaped groove, and the side of the stop rod 3111 facing the groove 2222 is an arc-shaped end portion, which facilitates the stop rod 3111 to slide into the groove 2222 .
[0067] Reference Figure 7 In some embodiments, a plurality of slide grooves 2223 are provided on the side plate 222 , and each slide groove 2223 connects two adjacent grooves 2222 .
[0068] The slide groove 2223 is actually a slide connecting two adjacent grooves 2222, and is also a recessed groove. When the shooting angle of the camera 30 needs to be adjusted, the stop rod 3111 needs to slide from one groove 2222 to another groove 2222. In order to facilitate the rotation of the stop rod 3111, a slide groove 2223 is set between the two adjacent grooves 2222, which is respectively connected to the two grooves 2222, so that the stop rod 3111 can slide from one groove 2222 along the slide groove 2223 to the other groove 2222. Generally speaking, the depth of the slide groove 2223 is less than the depth of the groove 2222, which can improve the convenience of adjusting the stop rod 3111.
[0069] Reference Figure 8In some embodiments, the groove 2222 includes a first sub-groove 22221 and a second sub-groove 22222, the number of the first sub-groove 22221 is one, the slide groove 2223 includes a third sub-groove 22231 and a fourth sub-groove 22232, the first sub-groove 22221 is flanked by the third sub-groove 22231, and the two adjacent second sub-grooves 22222 are connected by the fourth sub-groove 22232. From the first sub-groove 22221 toward the two adjacent second sub-grooves 22222, the width of the third slide groove 2223 tends to decrease.
[0070] There is one first sub-groove 22221, and two chutes 2223 connected to the first sub-groove 22221. These two chutes 2223 are designated as third chutes 2223. By setting the position of the first sub-groove 22221, when the stopper rod 3111 rotates to the first sub-groove 22221, the camera 32 is positioned facing outward, indicating that the camera 32 has returned to its normal position. Because the headset 100 is worn on the ears during use, it is cumbersome to remove the headset 100 to check whether the camera 32 has returned to its normal position. Therefore, the two chutes 2223 connected to the first sub-groove 22221 can be configured to have a different structure from the other chutes 2223. Specifically, the width of the two second sub-grooves 22222 connected to the first sub-grooves 22221 and the chute 2223 gradually decreases from the first sub-grooves 22221 toward the two adjacent second sub-grooves 22222. This means that the width of the chute 2223 increases when sliding from the second sub-grooves 22222 adjacent to the first sub-grooves 22221 toward the first sub-grooves 22221. When a person holds the housing 31 or the rotating shaft 23 of the camera 30 and rotates it, the tactile sensation is that the rotation becomes easier. The width of the fourth chute 2223 is set to remain constant, and the sensation remains similar throughout the rotation process. Therefore, when a feeling of ease is felt, it can be determined that the camera 32 has slid into the first sub-grooves 22221 and is in the returned position. In this way, the returned position of the camera 32 can be determined by tactile sensation.
[0071] Reference Figure 9 In some embodiments, the groove 2222 includes a first sub-groove 22221 and a second sub-groove 22222. The number of the first sub-groove 22221 is one, the depth of the first sub-groove 22221 is greater than the depth of the second sub-groove 22222, and a metal spring 2224 is provided at the bottom of the first sub-groove 22221. The metal spring 2224 is used to abut against the stop rod 3111 when the stop rod 3111 slides into the first sub-groove 22221.
[0072] There is one first sub-groove 22221. By setting the position of the first sub-groove 22221 so that when the stop rod 3111 rotates to the first sub-groove 22221, the camera 32 is exactly in the front-facing, outward position, indicating that the camera 32 has returned to the normal position. However, during use, the earphones 100 are worn on the ears, and removing the earphones 100 to check whether the camera 32 has returned to the normal position is cumbersome. Therefore, the depth of the first sub-groove 22221 can be set larger, and a metal spring 2224 can be embedded in the side wall of the first sub-groove 22221. The metal spring 2224 has a certain degree of elasticity. When the stop rod 3111 slides into the first sub-groove 22221, it collides with the metal spring 2224, causing slight deformation and a small, crisp impact sound, thereby notifying the user that the camera 30 has returned to the normal position. When the stopping rod 3111 leaves the first sub-groove 22221 , the metal spring 2224 returns to its original state due to its own elasticity.
[0073] Reference Figure 10 In some embodiments, the stop portion 311 also includes a mounting plate 3112, a sliding rod 3113 and an elastic member 3114. The mounting plate 3112 is installed on the shell 31, one end of the sliding rod 3113 is installed on the mounting plate 3112, the stop rod 3111 is a hollow rod, and the stop rod 3111 is slidably mounted on the other end of the sliding rod 3113. The two ends of the elastic member 3114 are respectively connected to the mounting plate 3112 and the stop rod 3111.
[0074] When the locking cam 3111 is in the state of being lifted up, the locking cam 3111 can be in the state of being lifted up and locked in the state of being lifted up, so that the locking cam 3111 can be in the state of being lifted up and locked in the state of being lifted up.
[0075] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments, the portion of the connecting shaft 21 extending into the housing 10 is provided with an elastic protrusion 211, and a recessed position is provided in the housing 10. When the connecting shaft 21 rotates to a position, the elastic protrusion 211 is movably engaged with the recessed position.
[0076] Here, a position may be a position where the user wants to get a prompt, such as a position where the camera 30 is back to the normal position, that is, the camera 32 is facing outwards, such as Figure 2 The position shown. The elastic protrusion 211 is elastic and can slide into the recessed position by undergoing a slight deformation. After being stuck in the recessed position, it recovers its deformation and then presses tightly. Of course, it can also be separated from the recessed position under the action of external force. When the user rotates the bracket 22 or the connecting shaft 21, a "dong" feeling can be felt, indicating that at this time, the camera 32 has been corrected in the rotation direction of the connecting shaft 21, and the correction can be in a facing state. Because the earphones 100 are worn on the ears during use, it is troublesome to remove the earphones 100 to observe whether the camera 32 has been corrected. This method can be used to determine whether the camera 32 has been corrected without removing the earphones 100. In combination with the aforementioned setting of the width-varying slide groove 2223 or the provision of a metal spring 2224 in the first sub-groove 22221, it can also be determined whether the camera 32 has been corrected in both rotation directions.
[0077] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 11 In some embodiments, a mounting groove is provided on the housing 10, a damping ring 90 is provided in the mounting groove, and the damping ring 90 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the connecting shaft 21; a retaining ring 40 is provided in the housing 10, a retaining groove is provided on the connecting shaft 21, and the retaining ring 40 is engaged with the retaining groove.
[0078] The damping ring 90 can be an elastic ring, such as an O-ring. The damping ring 90 is fitted around the outer circumference of the connecting shaft 21 and is in contact with the connecting shaft 21. The friction between the damping ring 90 and the connecting shaft 21 can be used to provide rotational resistance to the connecting shaft 21. In this way, after the connecting shaft 21 rotates, the friction of the damping ring 90 can maintain the adjusted position. This embodiment can achieve stepless adjustment of the rotation of the camera 32 along the central axis of the connecting shaft 21, facilitating adjustment of the shooting angle of the camera 32. At the same time, to reduce the risk of the connecting shaft 21 falling off from the housing 10, a groove is provided in the portion of the connecting shaft 21 located within the housing 10, and a snap ring 40 is provided on the groove. The snap ring 40 can abut against the housing 10, thereby reducing the risk of the connecting shaft 21 falling off from the housing 10.

[0080] Reference Figure 12 In some embodiments, the headset 100 further includes a control component 70, which is signal-connected to the camera 30 and the driving component respectively. The control component 70 is used to obtain image information captured by the camera 30, and obtain shooting angle information based on the image information, and generate a control instruction based on the shooting angle information to control the rotation of the driving component to adjust the shooting angle of the camera 30.
[0081] The control component 70 can be composed of multiple components arranged on a printed circuit board. The image information captured by the camera 30 can be sent to the control component 70. After processing by the corresponding chip or processor on the control component 70, the shooting angle information of the image can be identified, and the shooting angle information can be compared with the preset angle information to obtain the angle deviation value. Then, a control instruction is generated according to the angle deviation value and sent to the drive component. The drive component adjusts the shooting angle of the camera 30 by driving the rotating shaft 23 and / or the connecting shaft 21 to rotate, so that the camera 32 of the camera 30 can meet the shooting requirements, such as making the camera 32 of the camera 30 face the scene to be photographed.
[0082] Reference Figure 16 , Figure 16 FIG. 2 is a flow chart of a method for adjusting a shooting angle according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The method for adjusting a shooting angle can be applied to the headset 100 according to any of the above embodiments. The method for adjusting a shooting angle includes:
[0083] S100, acquiring image information;
[0084] Image information is acquired through the camera 30 , and the image information here can be acquired in the form of photographing or video recording, such as a photo acquired according to the current shooting angle.
[0085] S200, obtaining shooting angle information according to image information;
[0086] A control component 70 is provided in the headset 100. A chip or processor is provided on the control component 70. A preset image is provided in the chip or processor. This preset image can be obtained when shooting directly facing the scene, or it can store preset angle information. By comparing the image information with the preset image, the shooting angle information of the image information can be obtained.
[0087] S300, generating a control instruction according to the shooting angle information;
[0088] The chip or processor can obtain the angle that needs to be adjusted based on the difference between the shooting angle information and the preset angle information to be achieved, and generate a control instruction based on the angle that needs to be adjusted and send it to the driving component.
[0089] S400 , controlling the driving assembly to rotate according to the control instruction to adjust the shooting angle of the camera 30 .
[0090] The control instructions are processed by the chip and converted into the angle at which the first driving member 51 needs to rotate and / or the angle at which the second driving member needs to rotate. The first driving member 51 can drive the rotating shaft 23 to rotate and thereby adjust the shooting angle of the camera 30. The second driving member can drive the connecting shaft 21 to rotate and thereby adjust the shooting angle of the camera 30 in another dimension, thereby realizing the adjustment of the shooting angle of the camera 30.
[0091] In the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention, by acquiring image information, acquiring shooting angle information based on the image information, generating control instructions based on the shooting angle information, and controlling the rotation of the first driving member 51 and the second driving member according to the control instructions, the shooting angle of the camera 30 can be adjusted, so that the camera 30 can take pictures facing the scene, thereby improving the shooting effect.
[0092] Reference Figure 17 , Figure 17 This is a flowchart of a method for adjusting a shooting angle according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Before step S300, step S210 is also included:
[0093] Receive voice commands and obtain shooting requirement information according to the voice commands;
[0094] A voice receiving module can be set in the headset 100, and the voice receiving module can receive the user's voice instructions. The voice instructions can be "make the camera 32 face the building" or "place the building in the middle area of the photo". The user's shooting requirement information can be obtained through voice instructions.
[0095] The steps of S300 include S310:
[0096] The angle difference is obtained according to the shooting angle information and the shooting requirement information, and a control instruction is generated.
[0097] The camera 30 can first obtain shooting angle information based on the current image information, compare it with the shooting requirement information to obtain the angle difference, and then generate a control instruction to control the rotation of the drive component to adjust the shooting angle of the camera 30. Of course, it can also receive more direct voice commands, such as "rotate left 30 degrees" or "rotate up 30 degrees." It can also receive gesture commands, such as making a "2" with your fingers and rotating them counterclockwise to indicate a 20-degree left rotation, or making a "2" with your fingers and rotating them clockwise to indicate a 20-degree right rotation.
[0098] In the above-mentioned embodiment of the present application, by receiving voice instructions, the shooting angle adjustment of the camera 30 can be controlled by voice, which further improves the convenience of adjustment.
