Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic device technology, and in particular to headphones. Background Technology

[0002] When current in-ear headphones are worn, the support structure of the headphones only rests slightly against the edge of the concha of the ear and cannot be stably locked in the ear. Therefore, in more strenuous activities (such as sports, wearing a hat, fixing hair, etc.), the headphones are prone to falling off the ears due to accidental contact or unexpected external force, resulting in poor wearing stability. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Based on this, the present invention provides an earphone with better wearing stability.

[0004] The present invention provides an earphone suitable for wearing in the ear. The earphone includes a wearing component and an acoustic component. The wearing component includes a rear positioning portion and an acoustic sound output channel. The acoustic component is connected to the wearing component and includes an acoustic chamber communicating with the acoustic sound output channel. When the earphone is worn in the ear, the wearing component is located within the concha of the ear, and the rear positioning portion applies a positioning force to the posterior edge of the concha to position the earphone in the ear. The acoustic sound output channel corresponds to the ear canal.

[0005] In some embodiments, the wearable device includes a wearable body and a support member, the support member being detachably connected to the wearable body, the support member including a rear positioning portion, and an acoustic member connected to the wearable body.

[0006] In some embodiments, the wearable device includes a wearable body and a support member. The support member includes a support body, and both ends of the rear positioning portion are connected to the support body. The rear positioning portion and the support body have a hollow structure, and the support body is detachably connected to the wearable body.

[0007] In some embodiments, the wearer includes a support member, which includes a support body and a rear positioning portion connected to the support body. When the earphone is worn in the ear, the rear positioning portion deforms to generate a positioning force.

[0008] In some embodiments, the wearer includes a front positioning portion, which covers the tragus of the ear when the earphone is worn, and the front positioning portion abuts against the ear.

[0009] In some embodiments, the wearer includes a sound-emitting surface, the acoustic sound-emitting port of the acoustic sound-emitting channel is located on the sound-emitting surface, and when the headphones are worn in the ear, the sound-emitting surface faces the ear canal.

[0010] In some embodiments, the headphones are open-back headphones.

[0011] Based on the above, when the earphones of the present invention are worn in the ear, the rear positioning part of the wearing member applies an active positioning force to the posterior edge of the concha cavity, so that the earphones can be stably positioned in the ear, giving the earphones better wearing stability. At this time, the acoustic sound output channel of the wearing member corresponds to the ear canal, and the distance between the acoustic sound output channel and the ear canal is shorter, thereby reducing the signal energy attenuation when the audio from the earphones enters the ear canal, and improving the audio experience and audio performance of the earphones.

[0048] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an earphone worn on the ear according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of headphones worn on the ear. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A diagram of headphones. Figure 4 yes Figure 3 An exploded view of the headphones. Please also refer to... Figures 1 to 4 The earphone 100 is worn on the ear 200. The earphone 100 includes an acoustic component 110 and a wearing component 120. The acoustic component 110 is connected to the wearing component 120. The wearing component 120 includes a rear positioning part 121 and an acoustic sound output channel 122. The rear positioning part 121 may be located on the extension axis L1 of the wearing component 120, but is not limited thereto. The acoustic component 110 includes an acoustic chamber P, which communicates with the acoustic sound output channel 122. Multiple acoustic components and multiple electronic components (not shown) may be disposed within the acoustic chamber P.

[0049] The concha 210 of the ear 200 includes the cymba conchae 212, a posterior edge 211, and a lower edge 213. The posterior edge 211 connects the cymba conchae 212 and the lower edge 213 and is directly opposite the tragus 230 of the ear 200. The tragus 230 covers the ear canal 220 of the ear 200. When the earphone 100 is worn in the ear 200, the wearing member 120 is located within the concha 210 of the ear 200. The rear positioning part 121 applies a positioning force F to the posterior edge 211 of the concha 210 to position the earphone 100 in the ear 200. The positioning force F can be a frictional force or a deformation force, but is not limited to these. The positioning force F can be parallel to the extending axis L1, but is not limited to these.

[0050] The supporting structure of the earphones can conform to the cymba conchae 212 or lower edge 213 of the concha 210, and passively rest against the ear 200. Therefore, when the earphones are accidentally touched or subjected to unexpected external force, they are prone to falling out of the ear 200 and are not stable enough. The supporting structure of the earphones needs to form a special protruding structure to conform to the cymba conchae 212 or lower edge 213, which increases the size of the earphones and makes them inconvenient to store and wear. The earphones can also hook onto the outer shell 240 of the ear 200 through structures such as ear hooks, which further increases the size of the earphones.

[0051] In this embodiment, when the earphone 100 is worn on the ear 200, the rear positioning portion 121 of the earphone 100 abuts against the posterior edge 211 of the concha cavity 210, applying an active positioning force F to the ear 200 to actively support it. Thus, the earphone 100 can be stably positioned within the ear 200 and will not be dislodged due to accidental contact or unexpected external force, thereby improving the wearing stability of the earphone 100. The rear positioning portion 121 of the earphone 100 is located on the extension axis L1 of the wearing member 120, which further reduces the size of the earphone 200.

[0052] The wearing device 120 includes a sound-emitting surface 126, and the acoustic sound-emitting hole 1221 of the acoustic sound-emitting channel 122 is located on the sound-emitting surface 126. When the earphone 100 is worn in the ear 200, since the wearing device 120 of the earphone 100 extends into the concha 210 of the ear 200, the sound-emitting surface 126 of the earphone 100 faces the ear canal 220 of the ear 200, so that the acoustic sound-emitting channel 122 corresponds to the ear canal 220 and is closer to the ear canal entrance 221 of the ear canal 220, thereby shortening the distance between the acoustic sound-emitting channel 122 and the ear canal 220, thereby reducing the signal energy attenuation of the audio transmitted from the earphone 100 into the ear canal 220, and improving the audio experience and audio performance of the earphone 100.

[0053] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the wearing device 120 also includes a front positioning portion 123. The front positioning portion 123 may be located on the extension axis L1 of the wearing device 120, but is not limited thereto. When the earphone 100 is worn on the ear 200, the front positioning portion 123 extends into the concha 210 and is covered by the tragus 230 of the ear 200. The front positioning portion 123 is located between the ear canal 220 and the tragus 230 and abuts against the ear 200. Thus, the earphone 100 can be more stably connected to the ear 200.

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, the wearable device 120 of this embodiment includes a wearable body 124 and a support member 125. The support member 125 is detachably and replaceably connected to the wearable body 124, but is not limited thereto. The support member 125 includes a support body 1251, a rear positioning portion 121, and a front positioning portion 123. The acoustic component 110 connects the wearable body 124 to the surface 127 opposite to the sound-emitting surface 126. The wearable body 124 includes a groove 1241, and the support body 1251 of the support member 125 includes a connecting opening 1253 and a protrusion 1252. The protrusion 1252 extends from the edge of the connecting opening 1253 toward the center of the support body 1251. The wearable body 124 can enter the connecting opening 1253, so that the protrusion 1252 engages with the groove 1241 to connect the support member 125 (support body 1251) to the wearable body 124.

[0055] The front positioning part 123 is located on one side of the support body 1251 and is arc-shaped, but is not limited thereto. The two ends (end E1, end E2) of the rear positioning part 121 are connected to the other side of the support body 1251, so that the rear positioning part 121 and the support body 1251 have a hollow structure G. In this embodiment, the support member 125 is made of a soft material, and the support body 1251 and the rear positioning part 121 are integrally formed, but are not limited thereto.

[0056] Figure 3 The deformed rear positioning part 121 is shown with dashed lines. (Example) Figure 3 As shown, due to the hollow structure G between the rear positioning part 121 and the support body 1251, when the earphone 100 is worn on the ear 200, the rear positioning part 121 can be deformed by the concha 210 to generate a positioning force F, and actively rests against the rear edge 211 of the concha 210. The deformation of the rear positioning part 121 allows the earphone 100 to adapt to different ear shapes 200, thereby improving the ease of use of the earphone 100 and enhancing the connection strength between the earphone 100 and the ear 200.

[0057] The structure and materials of the rear positioning part 121 and the front positioning part 123 are not limited to this embodiment. In an embodiment not shown, the rear positioning part 121 may not have a hollow structure G between it and the support body 1251. When the earphone 100 is worn on the ear 200, the rear positioning part 121 deforms to generate a positioning force F. In an embodiment not shown, the front positioning part 123 may have the same structure as the rear positioning part 121. In an embodiment not shown, the material of the support member 125 may be a non-soft material. In this embodiment, the extension axis L2 of the acoustic component 110 is different from the extension axis L1 of the wearing member 120, so that the acoustic component 110 is connected to the wearing member 120 at an angle, but it is not limited to this. In an embodiment not shown, the earphone 100 may be a true wireless stereo (TWS) earphone.

[0058] Furthermore, the headphones 100 in this embodiment are open-back headphones, but are not limited thereto. The headphones 100 may include an ambient sound channel (not shown) to transmit sounds from the external environment to the ear 200. In an embodiment not shown, the headphones 100 may be closed-back headphones.

[0059] Figure 5 This is an exploded view of an earphone according to another embodiment of the present invention. Please also refer to... Figure 4 and Figure 5 The earphone 100a in this embodiment is similar to the previous embodiment. The difference is that the support body 1251a of the wearing member 120a in this embodiment is longer, and the length W2 of the support member 125a on the extension axis L1 is longer. Figure 5 The length W2 of the support member 125a is greater than Figure 4 The length W1 of the support member 125 is adjusted so that the earphone 100a of this embodiment can better fit different ear shapes. The earphone 100a of this embodiment has the same effect as the aforementioned embodiment, and will not be described again here.

[0060] In summary, when the earphones of the present invention are worn in the ear, the rear positioning part of the wearing member applies an active positioning force to the posterior edge of the concha cavity, so that the earphones can be stably positioned in the ear, giving the earphones better wearing stability. At this time, the acoustic sound output channel of the wearing member corresponds to the ear canal, and the distance between the acoustic sound output channel and the ear canal is shorter, thereby reducing the signal energy attenuation when the audio from the earphones enters the ear canal, and improving the audio experience and audio performance of the earphones.
