[0019] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] See also Figures 1 to 6 The present invention provides a technical solution: a wearable sensing component for an earphone ear cap, comprising an earphone main body 1 and an ear cap sensing system, an earplug 2 is installed on the top of one side wall of the earphone main body 1, and an ear cap 3 that is easy to disassemble and assemble is provided on the earplug 2.

[0021] The earplug 2 includes a central column, an earplug head 201 and an earplug movable ring 202. The earplug head 201 is fixedly connected to one end of the central column, and the earplug movable ring 202 is movably sleeved on the other end of the central column. Several connecting guide columns 204 are provided on the inner side wall of the earplug movable ring 202. The connecting guide columns 204 are correspondingly inserted into the docking holes on the side wall of the earplug head 201. A tensioning spring 205 is connected between the end of the connecting guide column 204 and the inner end of the docking hole. The tensioning spring 205 is used to pull the earplug movable ring 202 toward the earplug head 201. A snap-in groove 203 is provided on the opposite surfaces of the earplug head 201 and the earplug movable ring 202.

[0022] The ear cap 3 includes an outer ring made of protein leather, genuine leather, artificial leather, memory foam, or other materials to enhance wearing comfort. A snap-fit ​​inner ring 301 is provided on the inner side of the outer ring, which engages with the corresponding snap-fit ​​groove 203. To install the ear cap 3, simply push the earplug movable ring 202 backward, insert the ear cap 3 between the earplug head 201 and the earplug movable ring 202, and insert the snap-fit ​​inner ring 301 into the snap-fit ​​groove 203.

[0023] The ear cap sensing system includes a processing module, a sensing module and an adjustment module. The output end of the sensing module is connected to the input end of the processing module, and the output end of the processing module is connected to the input end of the adjustment module.

[0024] The sensing module includes one or more pressure sensors, which are installed on the inner wall of the snap-in groove 203. When the ear cap 3 is installed on the earplug 2, the snap-in inner ring 301 is embedded in the snap-in groove 203. The side wall of the snap-in inner ring 301 applies pressure to the pressure sensor, and the sensing module transmits the pressure change data to the processing module.

[0025] The processing module receives the data transmitted by the sensing module and provides a pressure threshold. When the data value uploaded by the sensing module is within the pressure threshold, the processing module determines that there is no ear cap 3 on the earplug 2. When the data value uploaded by the sensing module exceeds the pressure threshold, the processing module determines that the ear cap 3 is installed on the earplug 2, and then the processing module transmits the judgment data to the adjustment module.

[0026] The adjustment module adjusts the headphone playback mode based on the determination data transmitted by the processing module. The headphone playback mode is divided into an ear cap mode and an ear cap-free mode. When the ear cap 3 is installed, the ear cap 3 fits more closely to the user's ear canal, forming a relatively closed cavity. This helps enhance and penetrate low frequencies, making the sound more focused and enveloping. At this time, the sound pressure of the headphone is lowered to prevent hearing damage. When the ear cap 3 is not installed, the sound pressure can be slightly increased to enable the user to hear more clearly.

[0027] A sensing method for a wearable sensing component of an earphone ear cap includes the following steps: S1: The sensing module senses whether it is under pressure from the clamping inner ring 301 through a pressure sensor, and transmits the sensed pressure value data to the processing module; S2: The processing module determines whether the ear cap 3 is installed on the earplug 2 based on the pressure value data, and transmits the determination data to the adjustment module; S3: The adjustment module adjusts the headphone playback mode according to the determination data transmitted by the processing module.

[0028] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
