[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0032] See also Figure 1 An embodiment of the present application provides an earphone, comprising a first shell 1, a second shell 2 and an ear hook 3, wherein the first shell 1 is used to install a sound component 4, the second shell 2 is used to install a functional component 5, one end of the ear hook 3 is connected to the first shell 1, and the other end is connected to the second shell 2; wherein, along the direction from the first shell 1 to the ear hook 3, the first shell 1 gradually tilts from bottom to top toward the direction close to the second shell 2.

[0033] In actual application, the two ends of the ear hook 3 are connected to the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 respectively. The first shell 1 is equipped with a sound component 4 for playing and collecting sound. The second shell 2 is equipped with a functional component 5, which can provide power to the sound component 4 and is responsible for wireless signal connection with the smart device. The ear hook 3 can be hung on the ear or clamped on the side of the ear to facilitate the user to wear the earphone. When the user wears the earphone, Figure 2As shown, since the first shell 1 gradually tilts from bottom to top toward the direction close to the second shell 2 along the direction from the first shell 1 to the ear hook 3, when the user clamps the ear hook 3 on the ear, the first shell 1 is located in the concha cavity, the second shell 2 is located at the back of the concha cavity, and the first shell 1 tilts toward the direction close to the second shell 2, that is, the first shell 1 tilts toward the direction close to the ear canal, so that the first shell 1 fits more closely with the user's ear canal. The concha cavity refers to a part of the human ear, specifically located at the entrance of the ear canal, and is an approximately vertical surface in the front of the auricle, which divides the auricle into the upper helix and the lower earlobe.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, when the earphones of the present application are worn, the first shell 1 fits close to the concha cavity, so that the sound component 4 inside the first shell 1 can be closer to the ear canal. The sound emitted by the sound component 4 is located in the ear canal, avoiding sound leakage and improving the user experience.

[0035] It should be noted that the sound component 4 can be a speaker module and a microphone module 41, the speaker module is used to play sound, and the microphone module 41 is used to collect sound.

[0036] See again Figure 1 In one embodiment, the connection surface between the ear hook 3 and the first shell 1 is set to a first plane 11, and the connection surface between the ear hook 3 and the second shell 2 is set to a second plane 21. The first plane 11 and the second plane 21 are set at an angle, and the angle between the second plane 21 and the first plane 11 ranges from 120° to 150°.

[0037] The first plane 11 and the second plane 21 are arranged at an angle to achieve an inclined setting of the first shell 1. Specifically, the second plane 21 can be set as a horizontal plane, and the first plane 11 is an inclined plane. The angle range between the first plane 11 and the second plane 21 is controlled between 120° and 150°. For example, the angle between the first plane 11 and the second plane 21 can be 140°. When the angle is within this range, the first shell 1 is more in line with the design of the human concha cavity. If the angle is too large or too small, the first shell 1 will be away from the ear canal, which is easy to leak sound and affect the wearing comfort of the user.

[0038] See also Figure 3 For the sake of clarity, Figure 3 Y1 represents the thickness direction of the first shell 1, and Y2 represents the thickness direction of the second shell 2. In one embodiment, the first shell 1 has a first center plane 12, which is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the first shell 1; the second shell 2 has a second center plane 22, which is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the second shell 2, and the angle between the first center plane 12 and the second center plane 22 is between 25° and 45°.

[0039] In practical applications, in order to control the tilt range of the first shell 1, in addition to the above-mentioned first plane 11 and second plane 21, the tilt range of the first shell 1 can also be limited by the first center plane 12 and the second center plane 22. Specifically, the first center plane 12 can be approximately regarded as the central symmetry plane of the first shell 1, and the second center plane 22 can be approximately regarded as the central symmetry plane of the second shell 2. The angle between the first center plane 12 and the second center plane 22 is in the range of 25° to 45°. For example, the angle between the first center plane 12 and the second center plane 22 can be 40°. With this arrangement, it is more convenient to control the tilt state of the first shell 1 during the design process, making production and processing more convenient.

[0040] See also Figure 4 A plurality of sound outlet holes 13 are provided on one side of the first shell 1 close to the second shell 2 , and along the radial direction of the first shell 1 , the apertures of the plurality of sound outlet holes 13 gradually increase from the inside to the outside.

[0041] In one embodiment, a plurality of sound holes 13 are evenly arranged in an annular direction on the first shell 1. When wearing headphones, the first shell 1 fits the ear canal. Along the radial direction of the first shell 1, the sound holes 13 located inside the first shell 1 are closer to the ear canal, while the external sound holes 13 are far away from the ear canal. Therefore, the aperture of the external sound holes 13 is set to a larger aperture. The larger aperture of the external sound holes 13 helps the sound waves to diffuse better into the ear. A larger aperture can reduce the damping of the sound waves at the outlet, allowing the sound waves to propagate more naturally, thereby providing a wider sound field and a better sense of space; a smaller internal aperture can provide a certain impedance matching effect, which helps the sound component 4 work better.

[0042] See also Figure 5 The sound component 4 is installed in the first shell 1, and the functional component 5 is installed in the second shell 2 and is electrically connected to the sound component 4; the first shell 1 includes a front shell 14 and a rear shell 15, the rear shell 15 is connected to the ear hook 3, the front shell 14 is connected to the side of the rear shell 15 facing the second shell 2, and the sound component 4 is installed in the middle of the front shell 14.

[0043] Specifically, the sound component 4 includes a microphone module 41, which is installed in the middle of the front shell 14. Because the microphone pickup hole in the prior art is usually far away from the ear canal, the active noise reduction function of the microphone is not obvious and the call quality of the headset is poor.

[0044] The present application arranges the microphone module 41 in the middle of the front shell 14, that is, when the first shell 1 is extended into the ear canal, the microphone module 41 is also close to the ear canal, and the sound outlet hole 13 on the first shell 1 can also serve as a sound pickup hole, which effectively improves the active noise reduction function of the microphone module 41, can help users better focus on the sounds they want to hear, reduce the impact of noise on hearing, and provide a more comfortable listening experience.

[0045] It should be noted that active noise reduction refers to a technology that reduces or eliminates background noise through electronic means.

[0046] See again Figure 5 In one embodiment, a clamping portion 141 is provided on a side of the front shell 14 facing the rear shell 15 , and a clamping slot 151 is provided on a side of the rear shell 15 facing the front shell 14 , and the clamping portion 141 is clamped with the clamping slot 151 .

[0047] In this embodiment, the front shell 14 and the rear shell 15 are connected in a detachable manner. Specifically, the front shell 14 is provided with an annular clamping portion 141, and the rear shell 15 is provided with an annular clamping groove 151. The clamping portion 141 is extended into the rear shell 15 and clamped with the clamping groove 151 to achieve the fixing effect of the front shell 14 and the rear shell 15. At the same time, when it is necessary to repair the electrical components inside the first shell 1, it is only necessary to disassemble the clamping portion 141 and the clamping groove 151. The operation is convenient and the structure is simple.

[0048] It is understandable that in some other embodiments, the front shell 14 and the rear shell 15 may also be connected in other ways, and the present application does not limit this.

[0049] participate Figure 6 The functional component 5 includes a battery component 51 and a sensor 52. The battery component 51 is connected to the second shell 2, and the sensor 52 is connected to a side of the battery component 51 facing the first shell 1. The sensor 52 is used to detect the heart rate.

[0050] In actual applications, the battery component 51 may include a battery and a circuit board. The battery is used to provide electrical energy. The circuit board is electrically connected to the sensor 52 and the sound component 4 to control playback and wireless connection. Integrating the sensor 52 in the second shell 2 can effectively reduce the volume of the first shell 1, making it easier for the first shell 1 to extend into the ear canal. At the same time, the sensor 52 can collect the heart rate and blood oxygen saturation data of the ear, and upload the data to the smart device at a regular interval. Users can query the heart rate and blood oxygen saturation data at any time through the smart device, and can monitor their own heart rate and blood oxygen saturation health at all times.

[0051] Specifically, the sensor 52 is in contact with the inner side of the second housing 2. In this way, when the earphone is clamped on the user's ear, Figure 7As shown, the second shell 2 fits against the back of the ear, and the sensor 52 fits against the inner side of the second shell 2. The sensor 52 can be closer to the skin of the ear, effectively improving the accuracy and sensitivity of the data detected by the sensor 52.

[0052] In one embodiment, the ear hook 3 includes a main body and a support member. The main body is wrapped around the outer periphery of the support member. The main body is made of soft rubber, and the support member is a bendable hard structure.

[0053] The ear hook 3 is the main supporting part, which needs to provide a certain clamping force and protect the ear to avoid pinching the ear. Therefore, the main body of the ear hook 3, that is, the outer layer, is made of soft rubber material, which has a certain deformation ability and a low hardness, so that it will cause less damage to the ear when clamped on the ear. A hard structure support is provided inside the main body, such as a metal wire, which provides a supporting force so that the ear hook 3 can be stably clamped on the ear to prevent the ear hook 3 from falling off.

[0054] See also Figure 8 The earphone includes an ear cap 6, which includes a cap body 61 and an ear inlet 62. The cap body 61 is sleeved on the first shell 1, and the ear inlet 62 is connected to the cap body 61 and is used to extend into the ear canal.

[0055] In practical applications, the ear cap 6 can be made of soft rubber material, and the ear cap 6 is set on the first shell 1, which can effectively isolate external noise and improve the listening experience; and when the user wears the earphone, Fig. 9 As shown, the ear cap 6 can be extended into the ear canal to a longer length, so the ear cap 6 forms a sealed environment in the ear canal. In a noisy environment, it helps to enable the active noise reduction function of the headset, reduce the impact of the environment on the microphone module 41, improve the clarity of the call, and also help the headset to be stably fixed in the ear to prevent the headset from falling off during exercise or daily activities; at the same time, the ear cap 6 can be replaced and cleaned, which helps to keep the headset hygienic.

[0056] Different from the prior art, the embodiment of the present application provides an earphone, including a first shell 1, a second shell 2 and an ear hook 3, wherein the first shell 1 is used to install a sound component 4, the second shell 2 is used to install a functional component 5, one end of the ear hook 3 is connected to the first shell 1, and the other end is connected to the second shell 2; wherein, along the direction from the first shell 1 to the ear hook 3, the first shell 1 gradually tilts from bottom to top toward the direction close to the second shell 2. Compared with the prior art, when the earphone of the present application is worn, the first shell 1 fits toward the direction close to the concha cavity, so that the sound component 4 inside the first shell 1 can be closer to the ear canal, and the sound emitted by the sound component 4 is located in the ear canal, avoiding sound leakage, and improving the user experience.

[0057] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present application. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present application.
