Detailed Implementation

[0028] This disclosure can be better understood by referring to the following figures and description. The components in the figures are not necessarily drawn to scale, but are intended to illustrate the principles of this disclosure. Furthermore, in the figures, the same reference numerals consistently denote corresponding components in different views.

[0029] As used herein, unless the context explicitly indicates otherwise, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well. The terms “comprises,” “comprising,” “includes,” and / or “including” as used herein specify the presence of a said feature, integer, step, operation, element, and / or component, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof. As used herein, the terms “and / or” and the symbol “ / ” are intended to include any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items. Furthermore, while the terms first, second, etc., may be used herein to describe various elements, components, steps, or calculations, these elements, components, steps, or calculations should not be limited by these terms, which are used only to distinguish one element, component, step, or calculation from another. For example, without departing from the scope of this disclosure, a first component may be referred to as a second component; similarly, a first calculation may be referred to as a second calculation; similarly, a first step may be referred to as a second step.

[0030] This disclosure relates to an earphone device, comprising: an ear hook section having a first end, a second end, and an electrical conductor extending between the first end and the second end; a host module connected to the first end; and a battery module connected to the second end.

[0031] According to this disclosure, the electrical connection between the battery module and the host module is achieved via the electrical conductor, and wherein, when the earphone device is worn on the wearer's ear, the ear hook section is suspended on the wearer's auricle, such that the host module connected to the first end faces the wearer's ear canal, and the battery module connected to the second end is located behind the wearer's ear.

[0032] According to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the host module includes a main housing and a printed circuit board assembly and a driver disposed within the main housing. According to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the battery module includes a battery housing and a battery disposed within the battery housing, wherein the battery is used to provide power to the headphone device.

[0033] Compared to existing technologies, according to this disclosure, the battery used to provide power to the headphone device is not housed within the main body, but rather moved out of the main body, thus forming a separate battery module relative to the main module. The battery module and the main module are located at the two free ends of the ear hook section. This disclosure saves space in the main module, achieving a more compact structure and freeing up more space for optimizing acoustic characteristics. Furthermore, by moving the battery behind the ear, the weight of the main module is reduced, which improves the balance at both ends of the ear hook section and achieves better weight distribution for the overall headphone device. This provides a better user experience. The headphone device is less likely to fall off during wearer movement.

[0034] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the battery housing includes an upper battery housing cover and a lower battery housing cover, wherein the upper battery housing cover and the lower battery housing cover are detachably connected to each other. Therefore, the battery housing can be opened when needed, allowing the battery itself to be removed from the battery housing as a replaceable component. The battery module of the headphone device comprises only a relatively small number of components, such as the battery housing and the battery disposed therein. This relatively simple structure of the battery module also allows end consumers to easily replace the battery, i.e., remove and reinstall it, without having to consider the complex connections between the battery and other components, and to achieve proper battery assembly.

[0035] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the battery housing is constructed as a single piece. When the battery module and the ear hook section are configured to be detachably connected to each other, the battery module, i.e., the battery housing, together with the battery disposed therein, can be moved as a single unit.

[0036] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the battery module includes a charging port for charging the battery. The charging port is preferably located on the battery housing. Therefore, when using a rechargeable battery, charging can be achieved without removing the battery from the battery housing.

[0037] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the battery has a cylindrical geometry.

[0038] In existing designs, batteries housed within the main unit typically have a flat geometry to accommodate the narrow internal space of the main unit. Unlike the prior art, the battery according to this disclosure can be constructed in a cylindrical shape. The battery is mounted in a separate battery casing, which can have a relatively large volume. Since there are no volume limitations, larger battery sizes can be used accordingly. This not only reduces costs but also allows for the use of batteries with greater capacitance. Of course, other geometries besides cylindrical batteries are also possible.

[0039] The ear loop section also includes a connector that is electrically connected to one end of the electrical conductor.

[0040] According to one or more embodiments of this disclosure, the connector is configured as a coaxial connector. Alternatively, the connector may be configured as a magnetic connector or a snap-fit ​​connector.

[0041] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the first end of the ear hook section is provided with the connector, wherein the host module includes a mating connector that cooperates with the connector, and the first end of the ear hook section can be detachably connected to the host module by means of the connector and the mating connector.

[0042] According to another embodiment of this disclosure, the second end of the ear loop section is provided with the connector, wherein the battery module includes a mating connector that cooperates with the connector, and the second end of the ear loop section can be detachably connected to the battery module by means of the connector and the mating connector.

[0043] According to one or more embodiments of this disclosure, the ear hook section includes a flexible sheath, wherein the electrical conductor is covered by the sheath. Alternatively, the ear hook section also includes a support member covered by the sheath, wherein the support member is configured as a malleable longitudinal element. The support member can provide better mechanical support for the ear hook section.

[0044] Figure 1 The illustration shows the use of the headphone device 10 according to this disclosure. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the headphone device 10 is configured as an ear-hook type headphone, including an elongated ear-hook section 12, a main unit module 14 attached to one end of the ear-hook section 12, and a battery module 16 attached to the other end of the ear-hook section 12. The audio opening of the headphone device 10 is typically located within the main unit module 14. In the wearing position, i.e., when the headphone device 10 is worn by a wearer, the ear-hook section 12 of the headphone device 10 hangs from above over the wearer's ear, wherein the main unit module 14, having the audio opening, extends into the ear and / or faces the wearer's ear canal, and the battery module 16 hangs behind the wearer's ear. Therefore, the separate arrangement of the main unit module 14 and the battery module 16 achieves better overall weight distribution for the headphone device 10.

[0045] The ear hook section 12 is configured as a longitudinally extending segment having a first end 124 and a second end 126 disposed opposite thereto. The ear hook section 12 includes a sheath 120 made of flexible material and an electrical conductor 122 covered by the sheath 120. The electrical conductor 122 extends between the first end 124 and the second end 124, thereby enabling a conductive connection between the host module 14 and the battery module 16.

Alternatively, a support member, for example made of steel wire, is also provided within the internal space defined by the sheath 120. The support member is plastically deformable, allowing the shape of the ear hook section 12 to be adjusted according to the wearer's needs.

[0048] According to this embodiment, the host module 14 is configured to be detachably connected to the ear hook section 12. For this purpose, a connector 128 is provided at the first end 124 of the ear hook section 12, and the host module 14 is provided with a mating connector 128' that cooperates with the connector 128. The interaction between the connector 128 and the mating connector 128' allows for non-destructive disassembly and assembly between the host module 14 and the ear hook section 12. In this embodiment, the connector 128 is configured as a standard coaxial connector. Alternatively, other types of connectors, such as magnetic connectors or snap-fit ​​connectors, can also be used. The sheath 120 at the first end 124 includes a post-shaped connector port 130, and the connector 128 is disposed in the connector port 130, thereby facilitating connection with the electrical conductor 122 at the first end 124.

[0049] The host module 14 includes a main housing 140 and a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) 142 and a driver 144 disposed within the main housing 140. Figure 4 As exemplarily shown, the main housing 140 includes three sub-housings: a main housing 1402, a main housing upper cover 1404, and a main housing lower cover 1406. The space defined by the main housing 1402 and the main housing upper cover 1404 is used to accommodate the printed circuit board assembly 142, wherein the space defined by the main housing 1402 and the main housing lower cover 1406 is configured to accommodate the driver 144. Obviously, Figure 4The illustrated embodiments are merely exemplary, and the main housing 140 may also have any other suitable geometry and design. For example, the main housing 140 includes an upper cover and a lower cover that define a common internal cavity in which components such as the printed circuit board assembly 142, the driver 144, etc., are disposed.

[0050] To achieve a conductive connection between the host module 14 and the ear hook section 12, the mating connector 128' is disposed on the printed circuit board assembly 142, and the columnar body housing port 146 is disposed on the main housing 1402. In the assembled state of the host module 14, the mating connector 128' of the printed circuit board assembly 142 is disposed in the body housing port 146.

[0051] In addition, the host module 14 also includes an audio opening 148, according to Figures 2 to 5 In the embodiment shown, the audio opening 148 is configured as a mesh member, which is disposed on the side of the main housing lower cover 1406 facing the wearer's ear canal when the headphone device 10 is being worn.

[0052] The battery module 16 has a substantially cylindrical geometry. The battery module 16 includes a battery housing 160, which is composed of a battery housing upper cover 1602 and a battery housing lower cover 1604, and a battery 162 is disposed within the battery housing 160. A battery printed circuit board assembly 164 is disposed between the battery 162 and the battery housing upper cover 1602. At the second end 126 of the ear loop section 12, the battery housing upper cover 1602 is mechanically fixedly connected and electrically connected to the electrical conductor 122. Clearly, Figure 4 The embodiments shown are merely exemplary, and the battery housing 160 and the battery 162 may also have any other suitable geometry and design.

[0053] Figure 5The diagram schematically illustrates the disassembly and assembly of the headphone device 10 according to this disclosure. Currently, the ear hook section 12 is connected to the battery module 16, while the ear hook section 12 is separated from the main unit module 14. If it is necessary to connect the main unit module 14 to the ear hook section 12, the connector 128 of the first end 124 of the ear hook section 12 should be inserted into the mating connector 128' of the main unit module 14 along a first direction R1. Due to the use of a coaxial connector, after the ear hook section 12 is inserted into the main unit module 14, the two components can be rotated relative to each other to meet the wearer's needs. If it is necessary to separate the main unit module 14 from the ear hook section 12, it is simply necessary to disconnect the connector 128 of the ear hook section 12 from the mating connector 128' of the main unit module 14 along a second direction R2.

[0054] Figures 6 to 9 An earphone device 10 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure is illustrated schematically.

[0055] The headphone device 10 also includes a longitudinally extending ear hook section 12. An electrical conductor 122 extending from the first end 124 to the second end 126 is disposed within a sheath 120 of the ear hook section. Alternatively, a support member, for example made of steel wire, is also provided within the internal space defined by the sheath 120. The support member is plastically deformable, allowing the shape of the ear hook section 12 to be adjusted according to the wearer's needs.

[0056] According to this embodiment, the battery module 16 is configured to be detachably connected to the ear hook section 12. For this purpose, a connector 128 is provided at the second end 126 of the ear hook section 12, and the battery module 16 is provided with a mating connector 128' that cooperates with the connector 128. The interaction between the connector 128 and the mating connector 128' allows for non-destructive disassembly and assembly between the battery module 16 and the ear hook section 12. In this embodiment, the connector 128 is also configured as a standard coaxial connector. Alternatively, other types of connectors, such as magnetic connectors or snap-fit ​​connectors, can be used. The sheath 120 at the second end 126 includes a post connector port 130, and the connector 128 is disposed in the connector port 130, thereby facilitating connection with the electrical conductor 122 at the second end 126.

[0057] The battery module 16 has a generally cylindrical geometry. The battery module 16 includes a battery housing 160, which is composed of a battery housing upper cover 1602 and a battery housing lower cover 1604, and a battery 162 is disposed within the battery housing 160. A printed circuit board assembly 164 for the battery is disposed between the battery 162 and the battery housing upper cover 1602. Clearly, Figure 4 The embodiments shown are merely exemplary, and the battery housing 160 and the battery 162 may also have any other suitable geometry and design.

[0058] To enable conductive connection between the battery module 16 and the ear hook section 12, the mating connector 128' is disposed on the battery printed circuit board assembly 164, and the cylindrical battery housing port 166 is disposed on the battery housing 1602. Figure 8 As shown, in the combined state of the battery module 16, the mating connector 128' on the battery printed circuit board assembly 164 is disposed in the battery housing port 166 of the battery housing cover 1602.

[0059] The host module 14 includes a main housing 140 and a driver printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) 142 and a driver 144 disposed in the main housing 140.
