[0037] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0038] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a suspension earphone, comprising:

[0039] an earphone body 1, wherein the earphone body 1 is disposed on the ear and spaced apart from the ear; and

[0040] The connecting member 2 includes a first connecting member 3 and a second connecting member 4. The connecting member 2 is detachably connected to the earphone body 1 through the first connecting member 3, and the connecting member 2 is detachably connected to the wearable member 5 through the second connecting member 4.

[0041] The suspended earphones provided in the present application connect the earphone body 1 to the wearable component 5 through the connector 2. People wear the wearable component 5 on their heads. At this time, the earphone body 1 is located at a position relative to the ear and is spaced apart from the ear, so as to achieve the effect of suspending the earphones on both sides of the ear. This not only achieves the effect of people using the earphones, but also solves the head pressure caused by wearing traditional headphones for a long time, and improves the comfort of use. At the same time, it also helps to maintain the audibility of external sounds, which improves personal safety for people who use it in outdoor activities. In addition, by suspending the earphone body 1 on the ear for use, direct contact with the ear can also be reduced, which helps to reduce the risk of hygiene problems such as ear allergies.

[0042] It can be known that when using, the user can use one suspension earphone or two suspension earphones, and can choose an appropriate number of suspension earphones for use according to different usage scenarios and usage requirements. When using one suspension earphone, it can be adapted to be located at any left or right ear position; when using two suspension earphones at the same time, the two suspension earphones are mirrored and adapted to the left and right ears respectively. For the convenience of description, the embodiments of the present application are described below using one suspension earphone as an example.

[0043] Among them, the wearable component 5 includes any wearable item worn by the user on the head or neck, such as glasses, hats, headbands, neckbands, neck hangers or ear hangers, etc. The user can freely choose according to different occasions and activities.

[0044] Reference Figure 5-Figure 7Specifically, the first connecting component 3 includes a detachably connected first connecting portion 31 and a first matching portion 32, one of which is arranged on the connecting member 2, and the other is arranged on the earphone body 1; the detachable connection between the first connecting portion 31 and the first matching portion 32 enables the detachable matching between the earphone body 1 and the connecting member 2, and when in use, the same connecting member 2 can be used to connect with different wearable components 5. Of course, in order to ensure the reliability of the matching between the connecting member 2 and the wearable component 5, a connecting member 2 adapted to the different wearable components 5 can be selected, and then the connecting member 2 is connected to the earphone body 1, so as to further enhance the user's experience.

[0045] Among them, the first connection part 31 and the first matching part 32 can be matched by snap-fit ​​or magnetic attraction. When the first connection part 31 and the first matching part 32 are matched by snap-fit, the connection part 2 and the earphone body 1 are connected by snap buckles and other structures to achieve connection; when magnetic attraction is used between the first connection part 31 and the first matching part 32, the connection part 2 and the earphone body 1 are connected by mutual adsorption between magnetic parts. Of course, the first connection part 31 and the first matching part 32 can also be matched with other structures in the prior art that can achieve detachable connection, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0046] Combination Figure 1 The user connects the earphone body 1 to the connector 2 through the first connecting component 3, connects the connector 2 to the wearable component 5 through the second connecting component 4, and then wears the wearable component 5 on the body. At this time, the earphone body 1 will be suspended at the ear position and spaced apart from the ear.

[0047] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 8 , wherein the second connecting component 4 includes a card slot, and the card slot is connected to the sheet structure of the wearable component 5. At this time, taking the wearable component 5 as a hat as an example, the hat includes a brim and a cap, and the cap is formed by enclosing the sheet structure. The card slot can embed the edge of the cap inside it and be fixed with the cap, so as to achieve the detachable cooperation between the connector 2 and the wearable component 5. In this case, the second connecting component 4 can be a component with a certain elasticity, and the width of the slot top of the card slot is slightly smaller than the width at the bottom of the slot, and the width of the slot top of the card slot is slightly smaller than the thickness of the cap. When the card slot is matched with the hat, the slot top of the card slot is first buckled on the bottom edge of the cap, and then the bottom edge of the cap is inserted into the card slot and matched with the bottom of the slot. In this process, the width of the slot top of the card slot will first increase and then decrease, so that it is clamped and fixed with the hat by its own elastic force, ensuring the reliability of the cooperation between the connector 2 and the hat.

[0048] Reference Figure 7 and Fig. 9 Of course, the second connecting component 4 includes a sleeve, and the sleeve is sleeved on the rod-shaped structure of the wearable component 5. At this time, taking the wearable component 5 as glasses as an example, the glasses include a frame and temples connected to each other, and the frame is also connected to the lens. The sleeve can be sleeved on the temples, so as to achieve the connection and fixation between the connecting component 2 and the glasses.

[0049] The cross-sectional shape of the sleeve can be circular or rectangular, etc., and it can be adapted according to the structure of temples of different structural styles. This application takes the cross-sectional shape of the sleeve as a circular example for description, and both ends of the sleeve in the axial direction are open structures, and the end of the temple passes through the opening structure at one end and passes through the opening structure at the other end to achieve the connection between the sleeve and the temple.

[0050] Of course, in order to ensure the stability of the relative position of the sleeve and the temple after they are connected, thereby ensuring the stability of the position of the earphone body 1, the sleeve is a component with a certain elasticity, and the diameter of the sleeve is slightly smaller than the diameter of the temple, which can ensure that the temple can be inserted into the sleeve and the stability of the temple and sleeve after assembly.

[0051] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the connector 2 can also be bent back and forth in the height direction, and at least one groove is formed perpendicular to the height direction. The groove located at the end is the second connecting component 4, and a fixed connection is achieved by snapping the groove with the wearable component 5. At this time, taking the wearable component 5 as a hat as an example, the groove located at the end can be snapped with the bottom edge of the cap to connect the connector 2 to the hat. It can be known that the connector 2 can form a plurality of grooves by bending back and forth in the height direction. In addition to being used for connecting with the wearable component 5, the groove can also enhance the connection strength between the connector 2 and the earphone body 1, and can make the earphone body 1 stable in a suspended state.

[0052] Combination Fig.10 and Fig.11, wherein the first connecting part 3 is arranged at the other end of the connecting member 2, and the distance between the end and the bottom of the groove body connected to the wearable component 5 in the height direction can be adjusted. The connecting member 2 is made of a material with a certain elastic force, and the connecting member 2 can ensure the reliability of reciprocating bending and avoid damage during the bending process. The connecting member 2 can also move to a certain extent in the bending direction, so as to adjust the height difference between the two ends of the connecting member 2. It can be known that one end of the connecting member 2 is formed with the above-mentioned groove body, and is used to connect with the wearable component 5. The other end of the connecting member 2 is formed with a first connecting part 3, and is used to connect with the earphone body 1. By adjusting the height difference between the two ends of the connecting member 2, the height between the earphone body 1 and the wearable component 5 is adjusted, so that the user can adjust the earphone body 1 to a position relative to the ear when using it. And when adapting to different wearable components 5, the use position of the earphone body 1 can be guaranteed, and the reliable use of the user can be guaranteed.

[0053] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 , the earphone body 1 includes a detachably connected main body 11 and a coupling 12, the coupling 12 is configured to be connected to the connector 2, and the main body 11 is used to cooperate with the ear and realize the relevant functions of the earphone. Since the coupling 12 is used to connect with the connector 2, it may be necessary to change the style of the connector 2 when adapting to different types of wearable components 5, so the connector 2 and the coupling 12 may need to be frequently disassembled and assembled, and there is a risk of damaging the connector 2 or the coupling 12 during the disassembly and assembly process. By detachably connecting the main body 11 and the coupling 12, it is ensured that when the coupling 12 is damaged, only the coupling 12 needs to be replaced, and there is no need to replace the main body 11, thereby reducing costs.

[0054] Of course, the detachable connection between the main body 11 and the coupling member 12 can adopt any connection method in the prior art, such as snap connection, magnetic connection or screw connection. In this embodiment, the main body 11 and the coupling member 12 are connected by magnetic attraction, which facilitates installation and disassembly between the main body 11 and the coupling member 12, and can also reduce the damage to the main body 11 caused by multiple disassembly and assembly.

[0055] Optionally, the binding member 12 is provided in an annular structure and is sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the main body 11, which can ensure a stable connection between the binding member 12 and the main body 11, and at the same time can ensure that the cost of the binding member 12 is minimized. The binding member 12 is relatively rotatable with the main body 11 through the magnetic attraction, and a soft strong magnet is embedded in the binding member 12. The soft strong magnet can be shaped and can be deformed according to the relative position of the binding member 12 and the main body 11. In addition, by rotatably setting the binding member 12 relative to the main body 11, the binding member 12 can be rotated according to the wearing angle of the wearable component 5 and the relative position with the main body 11, so as to be fixedly connected with the wearable component 5.

[0056] Combination Fig.12 and Fig.13 Of course, in some embodiments, the wearable component 5 may also include a neck hanger or an ear hanger, etc. Taking the wearable component 5 as a neck hanger as an example, it is directly hung on the human neck, and the two ends are bent and extended toward the ears, and the earphone body 1 is connected to the end of the neck hanger. In this case, in addition to being detachably connected to the neck hanger, the connector 2 can also be integrally formed with the wearable component 5. In addition, when the coupling 12 is an annular structure, the connector 2 can also be an annular structure, and the connector 2 is connected to the side of the coupling 12 away from the ear, and is detachably connected to the coupling 12.

[0057] As an example, the first connection portion 31 is arranged on the coupling member 12, and the first matching portion 32 is arranged on the connecting member 2. The first connecting member 2 may be a buckle, and the first matching portion 32 is a groove that is snap-fitted with the buckle, and the connection between the coupling member 12 and the connecting member 2 is achieved by snapping the buckle into the groove. Of course, in order to ensure the reliability of the connection between the coupling member 12 and the connecting member 2, a plurality of first connection portions 31 are evenly spaced around the circumference of the coupling member 12, and a plurality of first matching portions 32 are also evenly distributed around the circumference of the connecting member 2, and each first matching portion 32 is arranged one-to-one with each first connecting member 2.

[0058] Reference Figure 1-Figure 13 In summary, the suspended earphones provided by the present application can combine the earphone body 1 with different wearable components 5 without the need for traditional headbands or fixing devices, and can achieve suspended fixation with different wearable components 5, while also having the ability to be freely adjusted. According to the different usage requirements of the user, the wearable component 5 includes a hat, glasses, a headband, a neckband, etc., which not only increases the versatility of the earphones, but also adds an element of fashion and style. In addition, the user can adjust the position and angle of the earphone body 1 according to personal preferences to ensure the best wearing experience and listening experience.

[0059] Reference Figure 1-Figure 13An embodiment of the present application also provides a wearable device, including a wearable component 5 and a suspension earphone as described in the above embodiment, wherein a connector 2 of the suspension earphone is detachably connected to the wearable component 5.
