[0042] The common design of the existing earphone sound cavity structure is to set a sound unit rear cavity cover, cover the sound unit with the rear cavity cover, and set an air outlet on one side of the rear cavity cover, which is connected to the tuning hole of the earphone cover, so as to guide the airflow of the rear cavity out of the earphone. The existing sound cavity structure design needs to add a rear cavity cover, and during production, the rear cavity cover needs to be sealed with glue, which increases material costs and production operations.

[0043] The utility model provides a sound cavity structure and earphones through improvement. The technical solution of the utility model is:

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown,

[0045] A sound cavity structure comprises: a shell 1, a sound unit 2 and a PCBA board 3.

[0046] The housing 1 includes an upper cover 11 and a lower shell 12 that are fixedly connected. The lower shell 12 is provided with a sound outlet 121, and the upper cover 11 is provided with an air leakage hole 111. The sound-generating unit 2 is used to generate sound. When the sound-generating unit 2 generates sound waves, these sound waves are sent to the user's ear canal through the sound outlet 121, so that the user can hear the sound. The air leakage hole 111 is used to prevent the low-frequency sound in the sound-generating unit 2 from being short-circuited, ensuring that the low-frequency sound can be transmitted smoothly, so that the user feels that the sound is mellow.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, the sound unit 2 is fixedly disposed in the lower shell 12 , the sound-emitting surface of the sound unit 2 faces the lower shell 12 , the sound unit 2 and the lower shell 12 form a front sound cavity 4 , and the sound outlet 121 is connected to the front sound cavity 4 .

[0048] The front sound cavity 4 is used to enhance the high-frequency performance of the earphone, making the sound clearer and brighter, and can also effectively correct high-frequency noise and improve the purity of the sound. When the earphone with the sound cavity structure described in this embodiment plays music or voice, the sound quality of the high-frequency part is clearer and the harsh or unnecessary noise is reduced.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, the PCBA board 3 is fixedly disposed in the upper cover 11. In some embodiments, the PCBA board 3 can be sealed and fixed to the upper cover 11 by glue. The PCBA board 3 is electrically connected to the sound unit 2, and the vent hole 111 is located between the PCBA board 3 and the sound unit 2.

[0050] By fixing the PCBA board 3 in the upper cover 11, there is no need to add a sound cavity cover. Only by setting the vent hole 111 between the PCBA board 3 and the sound unit 2, all the materials of the PCBA board 3 are designed in the upper cover 11, and the PCBA and the upper cover 11 are combined into a rear cavity cover by sealing with glue, so that the efficiency is improved and the operation difficulty is reduced.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, the PCBA board 3 , the sound unit 2 and the housing 1 form a rear sound cavity 5 , and the air leakage hole 111 is connected to the rear sound cavity 5 .

[0052] The rear sound cavity 5 and the vent hole 111 are connected to prevent the low-frequency sound from being short-circuited in the sound-emitting unit 2 . By providing the rear sound cavity 5 , a better low-frequency response can be provided, making the sound more powerful and full.

[0053] In some embodiments, the vent hole 111 is disposed on the side wall of the upper cover 11, and the vent hole 111 faces the upper part of the auricle. When a person wears headphones, noise usually comes from the front or side of the person. By setting the vent hole 111 to face the upper part of the auricle, it helps to form a relatively stable internal acoustic environment, which can reduce the impact of external noise on the sound cavity structure of the headphone and reduce the impact on the sound quality of the headphone; when the vent hole 111 faces the upper part of the auricle, the air flow path is more reasonable, which helps to reduce wind noise and other noises caused by airflow; in outdoor or sports environments, by designing the vent hole 111 to face the upper part of the auricle, the impact of frontal wind noise on sound quality can be significantly reduced, providing a clearer sound experience.

[0054] like Figure 7 As shown, the bottom end of the lower shell 12 is provided with a curved surface area 127, and the sound outlet 121 is located in the curved surface area 127. The design of the curved surface area 127 can fit the shape of the concha cavity more naturally, ensure the stability of wearing, and reduce slipping or discomfort caused by improper wearing. By arranging the sound outlet 121 in the curved surface area 127, the sound outlet 121 is aligned with the ear canal, providing a better hearing experience for the user.

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, a positioning buckle 112 and a positioning column 113 are provided in the upper cover 11 , the positioning buckle 112 is buckled with the PCBA board 3 , and the positioning column 113 passes through the PCBA board 3 .

[0056] The positioning posts 113 and the positioning buckles 112 can ensure that the PCBA board 3 is accurately positioned in the upper cover 11, preventing it from moving or dislocating during use, and avoiding the movement or dislocation of the PCBA from affecting the sealing of the rear sound cavity 5. The positioning posts 113 and the positioning buckles 112 are provided to help ensure a stable connection between the PCBA board 3 and the upper cover 11, thereby ensuring the sound leakage effect of the rear sound cavity 5, so that the sound cavity structure described in this embodiment can provide a better sound effect.

[0057] like Figure 5As shown, a glue groove 114 is provided at the bottom of the upper cover 11, and a fixing ring 122 is provided at the top of the lower shell 12. The glue groove 114 and the fixing ring 122 cooperate to seal and fix the upper cover 11 and the lower shell 12. During installation, glue can be injected into the glue groove 114, and then the fixing ring 122 can be placed in the glue groove 114 to complete the sealing and fixing of the upper cover 11 and the lower shell 12. The fixing ring 122 is embedded in the glue groove 114. A clamping groove 115 is provided on the side wall of the glue groove 114, and a clamping ring 123 is provided on the side wall of the fixing ring 122, and the clamping ring 123 is clamped into the clamping groove 115. The clamping ring 123 and the clamping groove 115 are used to increase the friction between the upper cover 11 and the lower shell 12 to ensure a tight connection between them.

[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, a charging pin 13 is provided in the lower shell 12, and the charging pin 13 is electrically connected to the PCBA board 3. The charging pin 13 is used to transmit electricity. When the charging pin 13 contacts a charging source, such as a charger or a power adapter, it can transmit current for charging. The lower surface of the charging pin 13 is located in the same plane as the lower surface of the lower shell 12. By locating the lower surface of the charging pin 13 in the same plane as the lower surface of the lower shell 12, there is no step between the lower shell 12 and the charging pin 13, so it is not easy to accumulate dirt, and it is more convenient to clean.

[0059] like Figure 4 As shown, a magnetic block 14 is provided between the charging pins 13. The magnetic block 14 can automatically align and adsorb the charging pins 13 with the external charging head during charging through magnetic adsorption, without the user having to laboriously perform plugging and unplugging operations, thus simplifying the connection steps and improving the convenience of use.

[0060] like Figure 4 As shown, the lower shell 12 is provided with a charging slot 124, a sounding seat 125 and a magnetic seat 126, the charging needle 13 is fixedly arranged in the charging slot 124, the sounding unit 2 is fixedly arranged in the sounding seat 125, and the magnetic block 14 is fixedly arranged in the magnetic seat 126. The charging slot 124, the sounding seat 125 and the magnetic seat 126 are used to provide positioning and fixation to prevent the charging needle 13, the sounding unit 2 and the magnetic block 14 from shaking in the lower shell 12, so as to ensure that each component can be used normally.

[0061] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, an indicator light 15 is provided between the PCBA board 3 and the upper cover 11, and the indicator light 15 is electrically connected to the PCBA board 3. The indicator light 15 is used to display the setting status. For example, when charging is required, the indicator light 15 will usually light up or flash to remind the user of the power status. When the headset is in pairing mode, the indicator light 15 can also light up or flash to remind the user that the pairing operation can be performed at this time. A light groove 116 is provided on the upper cover 11, and the indicator light 15 is located in the light groove 116. The light groove 116 is used to accommodate and fix the indicator light 15.

[0062] The utility model also provides an earphone, comprising the above-mentioned sound cavity structure, and also comprising a fixedly connected ear hook 6 and a battery unit 7, wherein the battery unit 7 is electrically connected to the PCBA board 3. The ear hook 6 is used to hang the earphone on the ear of the user, and the battery unit 7 is used to provide power to the PCBA board 3, the sound unit 2, the indicator light 15 and other components in the housing 1.

[0063] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.
