Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ear supports, in particular to a novel ear support. Background Art
[0002] Most in-ear headphones currently on the market are prone to become loose in the ear during wear due to the different sizes of each person's ears, making them easy to slip out of the ear. In order to improve the problem of the earphones easily slipping off, ear supports are provided to fix the earphones while they are being worn.
[0003] Currently, every manufacturer on the market has to make ear braces in large, medium, and small (at least three types) for each headphone product to fit the different sizes of ears of users. Users need to choose smaller ear braces to meet their own usage needs to meet the needs of comfort; or they need to choose larger ear braces to meet the needs of firmness. As a result, users have to keep ear braces of multiple sizes to meet the needs of comfort and firmness, and manufacturers also need to configure multiple models of ear braces for users to choose from. If they don't fit, users will leave them idle, which causes waste and increases the manufacturer's production costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model aims to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a technical solution that can solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0005] A new ear support comprises a fixing ring and a supporting strip, wherein the fixing ring is fixed on the earphone, one end of the supporting strip is a fixed end connected to the fixing ring, and the other end is a movable end which can be moved on the fixing ring to adjust the height of the arch of the supporting strip; an arc-shaped groove is formed on the outer side of the fixing ring, an adjusting block connected to the movable end of the supporting strip is arranged in the arc-shaped groove, a limiting protrusion is arranged on one side of the adjusting block, and a limiting block is arranged on the other side; a plurality of limiting grooves cooperating with the limiting protrusions are arranged on one side wall of the arc-shaped groove, and an arc-shaped sliding groove slidably cooperating with the limiting block is formed on the other side wall.
[0006] Preferably, a plurality of limiting protrusions are provided and arranged in an arc shape.
[0007] Preferably, the front end of the limiting protrusion is chamfered.
[0008] Preferably, a connecting block is formed on the adjusting block, and the connecting block is connected to the movable end of the supporting bar.
[0009] Preferably, the movable end of the support bar is connected to the connecting block and extends outward to form a handle.
[0010] Preferably, a rotation shaft is provided on the fixed end of the support bar, and the fixed end of the support bar is rotatably connected to the fixing ring via the rotation shaft.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the utility model provides a new type of ear support, which can adapt to ears of different sizes by adjusting the arch height of the support bar on the adjustment block. Compared with the previous non-adjustable method, it has wider adaptability and is convenient for users to use. At the same time, the manufacturer does not need to configure multiple models of ear supports for users to choose from, which reduces costs and avoids waste.
[0012] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be given in part in the following description, and in part will become apparent from the following description, or will be learned through the practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] See also Figures 1 to 4The ear support of the present invention is provided with a fixing ring 1 and a supporting strip 2. The fixing ring 1 is fixed on the earphone. One end of the supporting strip 2 is a fixed end connected to the fixing ring 1, and the other end is a movable end, which can be moved on the fixing ring 1 to adjust the height of the arch of the supporting strip 2. An arc groove 3 is formed on the outer side of the fixing ring 1, and an adjusting block 4 connected to the movable end of the supporting strip 2 is provided in the arc groove 3. A limiting protrusion 5 is provided on one side of the adjusting block 4, and a limiting block 6 is provided on the other side. One side wall of the arc groove 3 is provided with a plurality of limiting grooves 10 matched with the limiting protrusion 5, and the other side wall is formed with an arc sliding groove 11 slidably matched with the limiting block 6. The arch height of the supporting strip 2 can be adjusted by the adjusting block 4 to adapt to ears of different sizes. Compared with the previous non-adjustable method, it has a wider adaptability and is convenient for users to use. At the same time, the manufacturer does not need to configure multiple types of ear supports for users to choose from, thereby reducing costs and avoiding waste.
[0021] As another preferred solution of the present invention, the limiting block 6 can also be replaced with a structure having the same structure as the limiting protrusion 5 to cooperate with the arc-shaped sliding groove 11 .
[0022] Furthermore, a plurality of limiting protrusions 5 are provided and arranged in an arc shape.
[0023] Furthermore, the front end of the limiting protrusion 5 is chamfered, and after the limiting protrusion 5 is chamfered, it can be easily inserted into the limiting groove 10.
[0024] Furthermore, a connecting block 7 is formed on the adjusting block 4, and the connecting block 7 is connected to the movable end of the support bar 2. By connecting the connecting block 7 to the support bar 2, the support bar 2 can be propped up for easy adjustment and prevented from being close to the arc groove 3 and difficult to grasp.
[0025] Furthermore, after the movable end of the support bar 2 is connected to the connecting block 7 , it extends outward to form a handle, and the movable end can be easily pulled by the handle to move the position of the adjusting block 4 .
[0026] Furthermore, a rotating shaft 12 is provided on the fixed end of the support bar 2, and the fixed end of the support bar 2 is rotatably connected to the fixing ring 1 through the rotating shaft 12.
[0027] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the present invention. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are included in the present invention.
