[0044] The accompanying drawings have illustrated specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to specific embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0045] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0046] Common types of headphones include clip-on headphones and ear-hook headphones. Clip-on headphones are fixed to the ear by the clamping force of the ear clip, while ear-hook headphones are worn on the ear by the multi-point support of the ear hook. However, the above two types of headphones have relatively limited wearing posture and cannot be accurately adjusted according to the user's needs. They are difficult to adapt to different ear shapes and sizes, and cannot achieve more switching between headphone forms and functions.

[0047] In view of this, this application provides an earphone and an earphone system that detachably connects the sound-producing part and the transition connection part. Users can flexibly switch between connected and disconnected states based on factors such as wearing comfort, wearing habits, and earphone operating conditions, thereby adjusting the earphone's wearing posture to achieve different acoustic effects, maximizing user satisfaction and improving the user experience. Furthermore, the earphone has multiple flexibly switchable wearing postures to adapt to users' ears of different shapes and sizes, improving the problem of inconsistent acoustic effects caused by differences in ear shape and size.

[0048] Combination Figures 1-10 The earphone 100 in this embodiment can be an ear-hook earphone, a clip-on earphone, or other types of earphones. The earphone 100 in this embodiment includes: a sound-emitting part 10, a main body part 20, and a transition connection part 30.

[0049] The sound-emitting part 10 serves as the sound-emitting area of ​​the earphone 100 and is mainly used for sound generation. Taking the earphone 100 in the wearing state as an example, the sound-emitting part 10 is located in front of the ear 200 so that the sound-emitting part 10 is as close as possible to the ear canal opening of the earphone wearer, which is conducive to the transmission of sound and the ear receiving sound.

[0050] The sound-emitting part 10 may include a speaker unit (not shown) and a microphone unit (not shown). The speaker unit is mainly used to convert electrical signals into sound signals so that the wearer of the headphones 100 can receive sound. The microphone unit can be used to capture the sound emitted by the wearer of the headphones 100 and convert the sound signals into electrical signals so as to perform sound processing and transmit them to other devices.

[0051] The main body 20 may include a power supply device (such as the second power supply device described below) and other functional components. In the wearing state, the main body 20 is located behind the ear 200. On the one hand, this helps to prevent the main body 20 from affecting the layout of the sound-emitting part 10 relative to the face and ear 200. On the other hand, the main body 20 and the sound-emitting part 10 cooperate with each other from the front and back sides of the ear 200, making it easier for the wearer to wear the headphones 100 more stably, and also avoiding affecting the aesthetics when wearing them.

[0052] The two ends of the transition connection 30 are connected to the sound-emitting part 10 and the main body 20, respectively. The sound-emitting part 10 and the transition connection 30 are detachable, meaning they can switch between a connected state and a disconnected state. In the connected state, the sound-emitting part 10, the main body 20, and the transition connection 30 cooperate to stably fit the earphone 100 in the ear; in this state, the earphone 100 can be used as an open-back earphone. In the disconnected state, the sound-emitting part 10 can be worn alone without relying on the transition connection 30 and the main body 20. Similarly, the combination of the transition connection 30 and the main body 20 can also be worn without relying on the sound-emitting part 10; in this state, the sound-emitting part 10 can be used as an in-ear earphone.

[0053] Understandably, in the separated state, either the combination of the transition connection part 30 and the main body part 20, or the sound-emitting part 10, can be worn on the ear alone or on the ear simultaneously without being connected to each other.

[0054] For example, taking clip-on headphones as an example, when the headphone 100 is clipped onto the ear 200 with the sound-emitting part 10 connected to the transition connection part 30, it can easily cause ear pain after a certain period of time. Alternatively, in noisy environments, ambient noise can interfere with the sound of the headphone 100. In such cases, the sound-emitting part 10 and the transition connection part 30 can be separated, and the wearing direction and angle of the sound-emitting part 10 can be adjusted to insert it into the ear canal opening behind the tragus 202. This effectively converts the clip-on headphones into in-ear headphones, allowing for switching between different acoustic effects. When the sound-emitting part 10 runs out of power after working independently for a period of time, or in other situations requiring the sound-emitting part 10 to be connected to the transition connection part 30, the user can reconnect the sound-emitting part 10 to the transition connection part 30. In this way, the same headphone 100 can have multiple wearing modes, enriching the user's wearing options and improving the user experience.

[0055] According to the embodiments of this application, the earphone 100 detachably connects the sound-emitting part 10 and the transition connection part 30. Users can flexibly switch between connected and disconnected states between the sound-emitting part 10 and the transition connection part 30 based on factors such as the wearing environment, wearing comfort, and earphone operating conditions. This allows for adjustment of the wearing posture of the earphone 100, achieving different acoustic effects to maximize user satisfaction and improve the user experience. Furthermore, the earphone 100 offers multiple flexibly switchable wearing postures to adapt to different ear shapes and sizes, mitigating the problem of inconsistent acoustic effects caused by variations in ear shape and size. This also allows for flexible wearing postures, reducing user operating costs.

[0056] In some embodiments, the sound-emitting part 10 may include an electrical component and a first power supply device, wherein the electrical component may include a speaker unit, a microphone unit, and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is connected to the speaker unit, the microphone unit, and the first power supply device, respectively.

[0057] The first power supply device can be a battery. The first power supply device can store a certain amount of electricity. When the sound-emitting part 10 is separated from the transition connection part 30 and the main body part 20, the first power supply device can supply power to the speaker unit, microphone unit and electronic control unit to ensure the normal operation of the speaker unit and microphone unit.

[0058] The electronic control unit (ECU) may include a circuit board, a processor, a communication module, etc. For example, the circuit board may be a flexible printed circuit board (FPC), a printed circuit board (PCB), etc., and the communication module may be a Bluetooth module, a Wi-Fi module, a cellular module, etc. The ECU can be used to implement circuit control, control the operating state of the speaker unit (e.g., adjust volume, control speaker unit startup and shutdown), control the operating state of the microphone unit, and also communicate externally.

[0059] In some embodiments, the electronic control unit may include a power connection structure. The main body 20 includes a second power supply device, which may be a battery. The first power supply device and the second power supply device may be the same or different.

[0060] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 10 The end of the transition connection 30 that connects to the sound-emitting part 10, i.e., the end of the transition connection 30 that extends to the front of the ear, is provided with a power supply structure 303. Optionally, the power supply structure can be a PIN pin, and the power supply structure 303 can be a power supply hole corresponding to the PIN pin; or, the power supply structure can be a power supply hole, and the power supply structure 303 can be a power supply hole corresponding to the power supply hole.

[0061] The power supply structure 303 is suitable for electrical connection with the power connection structure.

[0062] When the sound-emitting part 10 is connected to the transition connection part 30, the power supply structure 303 is connected to the power connection structure. Thus, when the sound-emitting part 10 is connected to the transition connection part 30, the second power supply device can directly supply power to the electrical components of the sound-emitting part 10, such as the speaker unit, microphone unit, and electronic control unit.

[0063] In some possible embodiments, the battery life of the first power supply device is lower than that of the second power supply device. For example, the size or capacity of the first power supply device can be reduced. Since the second power supply device is the main power supply device for the earphone 100, the first power supply device only needs to maintain the normal operation of the sound-emitting part 10 for a period of time when it is separated from the transition connection part 30. Therefore, setting the battery life of the first power supply device to be lower than that of the second power supply device is beneficial to reducing the cost of the earphone 100. Furthermore, if the first and second power supply devices use batteries with the same energy density, it is also beneficial to reduce the size of the first power supply device, thereby reducing the size of the sound-emitting part 10 and making it more convenient to wear.

[0064] In some embodiments, the first power supply device can also be electrically connected to the power receiving structure. Thus, when the power receiving structure is connected to the power supply structure 303, the second power supply device can charge the first power supply device. Additionally, when the earphone 100 is placed entirely within the earphone case, the earphone case can also charge the first power supply device.

[0065] In some embodiments, when the sound-emitting part 10 is connected to the transition connection part 30, the second power supply device is electrically connected to the speaker unit and the microphone unit, so that the second power supply device can directly supply power to the speaker unit and the microphone unit.

[0066] It should be noted that when the power connection structure is connected to the power supply structure 303, at least one of the second power supply device and the first power supply device supplies power to the speaker unit. That is, when the sound-emitting part 10 and the transition connection part 30 are connected, the first power supply device may supply power to the speaker unit only, the second power supply device may supply power to the speaker unit only, or both the first power supply device and the second power supply device may supply power to the speaker unit.

[0067] Optionally, when the power connection structure and the power supply structure 303 are connected, the earphone 100 is configured such that the first power supply device first supplies power to the electrical components of the sound-emitting part 10 (including the speaker unit, microphone unit, and electronic control unit). When the power of the first power supply device is lower than a preset value, the second power supply device switches to supply power to the electrical components of the sound-emitting part 10. Furthermore, the second power supply device can directly supply power to the electrical components of the sound-emitting part 10, or it can supply power to the electrical components of the sound-emitting part 10 through the first power supply device. That is, the current of the second power supply device flows through the first power supply device and then flows to the electrical components of the sound-emitting part 10. In this way, the second power supply device can both charge the first power supply device and supply power to the electrical components. Moreover, through the cooperation of the first power supply device and the second power supply device, the battery life of the earphone 100 can be significantly increased.

[0068] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figures 5-6 as well as Figure 9 and Figure 10 The sound-emitting part 10 may also include a first housing 101, which may include a sound-emitting housing 102. The projection of the sound-emitting housing 102 may be a shape similar to a circle or an ellipse, so that the sound-emitting housing 102 is suitable for being accommodated in the space behind the concha 201 or tragus 202 of the ear 200.

[0069] At least the speaker unit and the microphone unit are located inside the cavity of the sound-emitting housing 102. For example, the speaker unit and the microphone unit can be located inside the cavity of the sound-emitting housing 102; apart from the speaker unit and the microphone unit, either the electronic control unit or the first power supply device may be located inside the cavity of the sound-emitting housing 102 depending on the size of the space of the sound-emitting housing 102, and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0070] With the speaker unit and microphone unit located inside the sound-emitting housing 102, on the one hand, the speaker unit can be placed closer to the ear canal opening, which is beneficial to ensuring the acoustic effect; on the other hand, the microphone unit can be placed as close as possible to the front of the face to improve the pickup effect of the sound emitted by the wearer.

[0071] Optionally, the sound-emitting housing 102 is provided with a sound-emitting area, and a sound-emitting hole is provided in the sound-emitting area. Taking the earphone 100 as an ear clip-on earphone as an example, when the sound-emitting part 10 and the transition connection part 30 are connected, the sound-emitting housing 102 is located in the concha cavity 201, and at least a part of the sound-emitting area is opposite to the ear canal opening and is a certain distance away from the ear canal opening and the tragus. When the sound-emitting part 10 is separated from the transition connection part 30, it is only necessary to rotate the sound-emitting part 10 by a certain angle so that the sound-emitting part 10 is stuck in the space behind the tragus 202 and blocked on the outside of the ear canal. At this time, at least a part of the sound-emitting area still faces the ear canal opening, and the distance between the sound-emitting area and the ear canal opening is closer, which can achieve better sound effects and is conducive to isolating environmental noise.

[0072] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 as well as Figures 5-6 Considering the limited volume of the sound-generating housing 102, the first housing 101 may further include an electronic control housing 103. Specifically, the electronic control housing 103 is connected to the sound-generating housing 102 to jointly form the first housing 101. At least the electronic control unit is disposed within the electronic control housing 103. For example, only the electronic control unit may be disposed within the electronic control housing 103, or both the first power supply device and the electronic control unit may be disposed within the electronic control housing 103. The electronic control housing 103 may be formed as an elongated strip matching the length of the circuit board of the electronic control unit, or it may be formed in other shapes.

[0073] Understandably, the inner cavity of the electronic control housing 103 and the inner cavity of the sound-generating housing 102 can be connected to facilitate the connection of the electronic control unit with the microphone unit and the speaker unit.

[0074] By providing an electronic control housing 103 for the electronic control unit, the space occupied by the electronic control unit in the sound-emitting housing 102 can be avoided, which would result in the sound-emitting housing 102 being too large and difficult to wear. Moreover, by providing an electronic control housing 103, it is easier to adjust the shape of the electronic control housing 103 and the sound-emitting housing 102 and their relative positional relationship, so that the sound-emitting part 10 can be worn more stably in the ear when it is separated from the transition connection part 30.

[0075] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 as well as Figures 5-6 The electronic control housing 103 and the sound-generating housing 102 are set at an angle. Specifically, to better accommodate the electronic control unit, the electronic control housing 103 can be set so that its length direction is approximately parallel to the length direction of the circuit board. Since the sound-generating housing 102 needs to be fitted into the space behind the concha 201 or tragus 202, the size of the sound-generating housing 102 is usually larger than the width of the electronic control housing 103. Thus, the part of the sound-generating housing 102 protruding from the electronic control housing 103 forms a certain angle with the electronic control housing 103, which can be in the range of 60°-110°. In this way, on the one hand, the combination of the electronic control housing 103 and the sound-generating housing 102 is not too large, and on the other hand, the electronic control housing 103 can cooperate with the sound-generating housing 102 to improve the stability of the sound-generating part 10 when worn alone.

[0076] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figures 5-6 as well as Figure 9 and Figure 10 When the sound-emitting part 10 is connected to the transition connection part 30, at least a portion of the structure of the first housing 101 mates with the transition connection part 30. For example, the sound-emitting housing 102 may mate with the transition connection part 30, or the electronic control housing 103 may mate with the transition connection part 30. In this way, the matching forms between the sound-emitting part 10 and the transition connection part 30 are diverse, which can meet more usage requirements.

[0077] In some specific embodiments, the electronic control housing 103 is mated with the transition connection portion 30, and the sound-generating housing 102 is located at one end of the electronic control housing 103.

[0078] For example, the electronic control housing 103 can be docked with the transition connection portion 30 in the vertical direction. The electronic control housing 103 can be located on the upper side of the transition connection portion 30 or on the lower side of the transition connection portion 30.

[0079] Alternatively, the electronic control housing 103 can be mated with the transition connection portion 30 in the inward and outward directions. Here, the inward direction refers to the direction towards the face, and the outward direction refers to the direction away from the face. The electronic control housing 103 can be located on the inner side of the transition connection portion 30, or the electronic control housing 103 can be located on the outer side of the transition connection portion 30.

[0080] Alternatively, the electronic control housing 103 can be mated with the transition connection portion 30 in the front-rear direction. For example, the electronic control housing 103 is located on the front side of the transition connection portion 30.

[0081] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figures 5-6 as well as Figure 9 and Figure 10 At least a portion of the structure of the first housing 101 has a mating surface, and a portion of the surface of the transition connection 30 is formed as a mating surface 301. The aforementioned power connection structure can be provided on the mating surface, and the power supply structure 303 can be provided on the mating surface 301. The mating surface is adapted to fit against the mating surface 301. The mating surface is formed as a plane or a curved surface. In this way, when the sound-generating part 10 and the transition connection 30 are connected, the two fit stably, preventing misalignment, and the appearance is more consistent.

[0082] Optionally, the end of the transition connection 30 connected to the sound-producing part 10 has a balancing part 302. The dimensions of the balancing part 302, such as its width, thickness, and length, can be larger than the dimensions of the main body 20 of the transition connection 30. The mating surface 301 mentioned above can be a portion of the surface of the balancing part 302. In this way, for the ear clip-on or ear hook-on headphones 100, after the sound-producing part 10 is separated from the transition connection 30, the balancing part 302 can balance the weight of the front and back sides of the ear 200 with the main body 20, thereby ensuring that the combination of the transition connection 30 and the main body 20 can also be stably worn on the ear 200.

[0083] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 8 When the sound-generating part 10 is separated from the transition connection part 30, the sound-generating housing 102 is adapted to fit snugly against the ear canal opening, and the electronic control housing 103 is adapted to be sandwiched between the tragus 202 and the antitragus 203. In this way, the stability of the sound-generating part 10 when worn alone can be improved by the cooperation of the sound-generating housing 102 and the electronic control housing 103, preventing it from falling off.

[0084] In some embodiments, the sound-emitting part 10 and the transition connection part 30 are magnetically engaged or snap-fitted together. Thus, the connection methods of the sound-emitting part 10 and the transition connection part 30 are diverse, and all of them facilitate the user to connect or disconnect the sound-emitting part 10 and the transition connection part 30.

[0085] Taking the magnetic attraction between the sound-emitting part 10 and the transition connection part 30 as an example: the first housing 101 of the sound-emitting part 10 may be provided with a first magnetic attraction member. The first magnetic attraction member may be a magnetic coating attached to the first housing 101, or it may be a magnetic attraction member fixedly set to the first housing 101 by mechanical connection. The transition connection part 30 is provided with a second magnetic attraction member. The second magnetic attraction member may be attached to the magnetic coating of the transition connection part 30, or it may be a magnetic attraction member fixedly set to the transition connection part 30 by mechanical connection. The sound-emitting part 10 and the transition connection part 30 achieve magnetic attraction through the first magnetic attraction member and the second magnetic attraction member.

[0086] Taking the engagement of the sound-emitting part 10 and the transition connection part 30 as an example: the first housing 101 of the sound-emitting part 10 may be provided with a first snap-fit ​​structure, which may be a hook, a post, or other structure. The transition connection part 30 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​structure, which may be a groove, a hole, or other structure. The sound-emitting part 10 and the transition connection part 30 are engaged through the first snap-fit ​​structure and the second snap-fit ​​structure.

[0087] Of course, this application is not limited to this. The sound-emitting part 10 and the transition connection part 30 can also be matched in other ways, such as plugging or bonding, and can be reasonably selected according to actual needs.

[0088] In some embodiments, the transition connection 30 is adapted to hang on the upper side of the ear 200, that is, the earphone 100 in this embodiment can be an ear-hook earphone.
