Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of earphones, in particular to an ear-clip type earphone. Background Art

[0002] In the related art, the ear-clip earphones use an integrated U-shaped or C-shaped ear clip structure, which generates deformation to form a clamping force, so that the earphones can be worn on the user's ears by clamping the user's auricle. However, due to the different shapes and sizes of ears of different people, the clamping force generated by the ear clip of the ear-clip earphones using an integrated ear clip cannot be adaptively adjusted. For example, for users with relatively thick auricles, the deformation generated by the ear clip is too large, resulting in excessive clamping force. When worn for a long time, it may cause pain to the user, resulting in poor comfort. For users with relatively thin auricles, the deformation of the ear clip is small, and the clamping force generated by the ear clip is also small. This may result in insufficient stability when worn, and the earphones are prone to slipping off the ears or loosening during exercise or activities. Therefore, the current ear-clip earphones cannot meet the usage needs of different users. Utility Model Content

[0005] Based on the earphones of the embodiment of the present application, the spacing between the sound-emitting component and the functional component is adjusted by the relative rotation of the first connecting arm and the second connecting arm, so that the earphones of the embodiment of the present application can be adjusted according to the size and shape of the individual's auricle, thereby achieving better personalized adaptation and improving wearing comfort. For users with relatively thick auricles, the deformation caused by the ear clip is too large, resulting in excessive clamping force, which may cause pain to the user when worn for a long time, resulting in poor comfort. For users with relatively thin auricles, the deformation caused by the ear clip is small, and the clamping force generated by the ear clip is also small, which may result in insufficient stability when worn, and the earphones are prone to slipping off the ears or loosening during exercise or activities. In addition, the present application adopts a rotation method to adjust the spacing between the sound-emitting component and the functional component, which is simple and convenient to operate, and the user can adjust it at any time as needed to obtain the best wearing effect.

[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the following part will further describe the embodiments of the present application in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present utility model. Instead, they are only examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present utility model as detailed in the attached claims.

[0029] In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances. In addition, in the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" refers to two or more. "And / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the previously associated objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used in this specification are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0031] The present application embodiment provides an ear clip-on earphone 1, which is clamped on the auricle when in use. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The ear clip earphone 1 includes a shaft component 10, a sound generating component 20, a functional component 30 and a connecting bridge.

[0032] The sound-emitting component 20 includes a first shell (not shown in the figure) and a speaker assembly (not shown in the figure). In some structural forms, the first shell is provided with an acoustic cavity and a sound outlet, and the speaker assembly (not shown in the figure) is installed in the acoustic cavity. The sound emitted by the speaker assembly is transmitted outward through the acoustic cavity and the sound outlet.

[0033] The functional component 30 includes a second housing (not shown in the figure), a battery (not shown in the figure), a control circuit board (not shown in the figure), and a key switch (not shown in the figure). The battery and the control circuit board are installed in the second housing, and the battery provides power to the speaker assembly and the control circuit board, and the control circuit board is electrically connected to the speaker assembly. The key switch is installed on the outer surface of the second housing and is electrically connected to the control circuit board, so that the user can control the working state of the sound component 20 (for example: switching songs, adjusting the volume, turning on and off the machine, etc.) through the external key switch.

[0034] The material of the first shell and the second shell can be plastic, silicone, etc., which is not limited in the present application, and the shapes of the first shell and the second shell can be the same or different, and the volumes of the two can also be the same or different. For example, the first shell can be a spherical structure, and the second shell can be an irregular structure with an arc-shaped outer wall. In some other embodiments, the control circuit board can also be installed in the first shell.

[0035] The connecting bridge is disposed between the sound generating assembly 20 and the functional assembly 30. In some embodiments, the rotating shaft assembly 10 is disposed between the connecting bridge and the sound generating assembly 20 and / or the functional assembly 30. In some embodiments, the rotating shaft assembly 10 is disposed on the connecting bridge. The rotating shaft assembly 10 is used to make the distance between the sound generating assembly 20 and the functional assembly 30 adjustable.

[0036] The thickness of the auricle may be different for different people. Therefore, when using the ear clip type earphone 1, when the distance between the sound-emitting component 20 and the functional component 30 is fixed, for users with relatively thick auricles, the deformation caused by the ear clip is too large, resulting in excessive clamping force. When worn for a long time, it may cause pain to the user, resulting in poor comfort. For users with relatively thin auricles, the deformation of the ear clip is small, and the clamping force generated by the ear clip is also small. This may result in insufficient stability when worn, and the ear clip type earphone 1 may easily slip off the ear or loosen during exercise or activities.

[0037] It can be understood that from Hooke's law, F=KX, and F can be adjusted by adjusting the deformation distance without changing the elastic coefficient. The arc structure composed of the connecting bridge, the sound component 20 and the functional component 30 provides a clamping force for the ear clip type earphone 1. During the wearing process, the user's ear causes the distance between the sound component 20 and the functional component 30 to change, and the sound component 20 and the functional component 30 further cause the arc structure composed of the connecting bridge to produce elastic deformation due to the force. Therefore, the distance change amplitude of the sound component 20 and the functional component 30 from the unworn state to the worn state is positively correlated with the elastic deformation amplitude of the arc structure composed of the first connecting arm 200, the sound component 20 and the functional component 30.

[0038] Therefore, the inventive concept of the present application is to set the connection bridge between the sound component 20 and the functional component 30. Then set the shaft component 10 between the connection bridge and the sound component 20 and / or the functional component 30; or set the shaft component 10 on the connection bridge, wherein the shaft component 10 is used to make the distance between the sound component 20 and the functional component 30 adjustable. Therefore, when the user feels that the clamping force of the earphone is too large when wearing, the sound component 20 and the functional component 30 are moved away from each other by rotating the shaft component 10, thereby reducing the clamping force of the ear clip type earphone 1 on the auricle. When the clamping force of the earphone is too small when wearing, the sound component 20 and the functional component 30 are moved closer to each other by rotating the shaft component 10, thereby increasing the clamping force of the ear clip type earphone 1 on the auricle.

[0039] Based on the ear clip earphone 1 of the embodiment of the present application, the connection bridge is arranged between the sound component 20 and the functional component 30. Then the shaft component 10 is arranged between the connection bridge and the sound component 20 and / or the functional component 30; or the shaft component 10 is arranged on the connection bridge, so that the ear clip earphone 1 of the embodiment of the present application can be adjusted according to the size and shape of the individual's auricle, thereby achieving better personalized adaptation and improving wearing comfort. In addition, the present application adopts a rotation method to adjust the distance between the sound component 20 and the functional component 30, which is simple and convenient to operate, and the user can adjust it at any time as needed to obtain the best wearing effect.

[0040] When the ear clip earphone 1 is worn, the sound component 20, the functional component 30, the connecting bridge and the rotating shaft component 10 cooperate to generate a clamping force. When worn, the sound component 20 is located in the concha cavity or partially in the concha cavity, and the functional component 30 is located at the back of the auricle, such as the back of the helix or the back of the antitragus. In this way, the auricle is mainly clamped by the sound component 20 and the functional component 30 to maintain the position of the ear.

[0041] In summary, the shaft assembly 10 of the present application has a variety of installation positions. It can be arranged between the connecting bridge and the sound-emitting assembly 20; it can also be arranged between the connecting bridge and the functional assembly 30; it can also be arranged between the connecting bridge and the sound-emitting assembly 20 and between the connecting bridge and the functional assembly 30 at the same time; the shaft assembly 10 can also be arranged on the connecting bridge.

[0042] This is because the connection bridge of the present application has various forms. Specifically, in some embodiments, the connection bridge includes a first connection arm 200, and at least one end of the first connection arm 200 is rotationally connected to one of the sound component 20 and the functional component 30 through the shaft assembly 10. In this way, the connection bridge, the shaft assembly 10, the sound component 20 and the functional component 30 can have the following connection methods: 1. One end of the first connection arm 200 is connected to the sound component 20, and the other end of the first connection arm 200 is rotationally connected to the functional component 30 through the shaft assembly 10; 2. One end of the first connection arm 200 is connected to the functional component 30, and the other end of the first connection arm 200 is rotationally connected to the sound component 20 through the shaft assembly 10; 3. The opposite ends of the first connection arm 200 are rotationally connected to the sound component 20 and the functional component 30 respectively through the shaft assembly 10. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the functional component 30 is connected to the first connecting arm 200, and one end of the first connecting arm 200 away from the functional component 30 is rotatably connected to the sound component 20 through the shaft component 10. In this way, the interval between the sound component 20 and the functional component 30 can be adjusted by rotating the shaft component 10.

[0043] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The connecting bridge includes a first connecting arm 200 and a second connecting arm 300, the sound component 20 is connected to the first connecting arm 200, the functional component 30 is connected to the second connecting arm 300, and the end of the first connecting arm 200 away from the sound component 20 is rotatably connected to the end of the second connecting arm 300 away from the functional component 30 through the rotating shaft component 10. In the embodiment of the present application, the first connecting arm 200 and the second connecting arm 300 are relatively rotated around the rotating shaft component 10, so that the distance between the sound component 20 and the functional component 30 can be adjusted.

[0044] It should be noted that there are many ways to connect the connecting bridge and the sound component 20 or the connecting bridge and the functional component 30 or the connecting bridge and the connecting bridge and the rotating shaft component 10. For example, both are sleeved on the rotating shaft component 10 and rotate relative to the rotating shaft component 10, or one of the two is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft component 10, and the other is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft component 10. In some embodiments, the rotating shaft component 10 includes a fixed portion 11 and a rotating portion 12, so that one of the above two is fixedly connected to the fixed portion 11, and the other is rotatably sleeved on the rotating portion 12. Among them, the fixed portion 11 can be in the form of a convex block, a groove, etc., and the connecting bridge, the sound component 20 or the functional component 30 is provided with a groove or a convex block that matches the fixed portion 11, so as to achieve a fixed connection. Of course, the rotating shaft component 10 can also be fixedly connected to the connecting bridge, the sound component 20 or the functional component 30 by snap-fitting, screwing, bonding, etc. Here, the present application does not limit the specific form of the fixed portion 11.

[0045] Specifically, in the scheme in which the sound-emitting component 20 is connected to one end of the first connecting arm 200, the connection relationship between the first connecting arm 200, the functional component 30 and the shaft component 10 can be: the other end of the first connecting arm 200 and the functional component 30 can both be mounted on the shaft component 10; or the other end of the first connecting arm 200 is fixedly connected to the fixed portion 11 of the shaft component 10, and the functional component 30 is mounted on the rotating portion 12 of the shaft component 10; or the other end of the first connecting arm 200 is mounted on the rotating portion 12 of the shaft component 10, and the functional component 30 is fixedly connected to the fixed portion 11 of the shaft component 10.

[0046] In the scheme in which the functional component 30 is connected to one end of the first connecting arm 200, the connection relationship between the first connecting arm 200, the sound-emitting component 20 and the shaft component 10 can be: the other end of the first connecting arm 200 and the sound-emitting component 20 can both be mounted on the shaft component 10; or the other end of the first connecting arm 200 is fixedly connected to the fixed portion 11 of the shaft component 10, and the sound-emitting component 20 is mounted on the rotating portion 12 of the shaft component 10; or the other end of the first connecting arm 200 is mounted on the rotating portion 12 of the shaft component 10, and the sound-emitting component 20 is fixedly connected to the fixed portion 11 of the shaft component 10.

[0047] In the scheme in which the connecting bridge includes a first connecting arm 200 and a second connecting arm 300, the first connecting arm 200 and the second connecting arm 300 can both be mounted on the rotating shaft assembly 10; one of the first connecting arm 200 and the second connecting arm 300 can be fixedly connected to the fixed portion 11 of the rotating shaft assembly 10, and the other of the first connecting arm 200 and the second connecting arm 300 can be rotatably mounted on the rotating portion 12 of the rotating shaft assembly 10. During the rotation process, the friction between the first connecting arm 200 and the second connecting arm 300 has a certain damping effect, so that the first connecting arm 200 and the second connecting arm 300 can be relatively rotated to a suitable position and then relatively fixed at the position through the damping effect.

[0048] In order to improve the stability of the damping effect between the first connecting arm 200 and the second connecting arm 300, the embodiment of the present application further includes a damping structure 400. The damping structure 400 can be provided in the case where the connecting bridge includes only one first connecting arm 200, or can be provided in the case where the connecting bridge includes the first connecting arm 200 and the second connecting arm 300. The damping structure 400 can have various forms. Figures 4 to 11 , the damping structure 400 is introduced in detail.

[0049] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figures 7 to 9, the damping structure 400 includes an elastic member 410 and a top abutment 420. Exemplarily, the first connecting arm 200 is fixedly connected to the fixed portion 11 of the rotating shaft assembly 10, and the elastic member 410 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating portion 12 and fixedly connected to the second connecting arm 300. In some structural forms, the top abutment 420 is protruded from the outer circumferential surface of the rotating portion 12. In some other embodiments, a separate assembly part can also be formed, the assembly part is sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating portion 12, and is fixedly connected to the rotating portion 12, and the assembly part is provided with the top abutment 420. The top abutment 420 abuts against the inner wall of the elastic member 410, and causes the elastic member 410 to produce an elastic deformation tendency of expanding outward in the circumferential direction.

[0050] It is understandable that when the elastic member 410 expands outward in the circumferential direction, the elastic member 410 will apply a reaction force, i.e., a damping force, to the abutting portion 420. With such a configuration, when the user needs to adjust the spacing between the sound component 20 and the functional component 30, the force applied to the first connecting arm 200 and the second connecting arm 300 must be greater than the damping force applied by the elastic member 410 to the abutting portion 420, so that the first connecting arm 200 and the second connecting arm 300 will rotate. When the spacing between the sound component 20 and the functional component 30 is adjusted to a suitable position, the damping force will make the sound component 20 and the functional component 30 relatively fixed, so that the ear clip earphone 1 can be firmly clamped on the user's auricle.

[0051] For further information, please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 7 The elastic member 410 of the embodiment of the present application has a slot 413 that penetrates in the wall thickness direction and in the axial direction of the shaft assembly 10, so that the elastic member 410 is not closed in the circumferential direction. In this way, the flexibility and bending ability of the elastic member 410 can be increased, making it easier for the elastic member 410 to deform and adapt to different adjustment and wearing requirements. In addition, the slot 413 can make the elastic member 410 more uniform and stable when deformed, avoid local stress concentration, and thus improve the service life and durability of the elastic member 410.

[0052] In order to facilitate the fixed connection between the elastic member 410 and the second connecting arm 300, please refer to Figure 8, the second connecting arm 300 includes an axial hole 330 that is nested with the rotating shaft assembly 10. The elastic member 410 is accommodated in the axial hole 330, and there is a deformation space between the outer wall surface of the elastic member 410 and the inner wall surface of the axial hole 330. In the embodiment of the present application, the axial hole 330 is provided on the second connecting arm 300, and the elastic member 410 is installed in the axial hole 330. In this way, the installation operation is simple, and the elastic member 410 and the second connecting arm 300 are fixed with high stability. Of course, in some other embodiments, the elastic member 410 can also be fixed on one side of the second connecting arm 300 and coaxially arranged with the axial hole 330. Here, the present application does not limit the specific installation form of the elastic member 410.

[0053] It can be understood that the deformation space between the outer wall surface of the elastic member 410 and the inner wall surface of the shaft hole 330 can enable the elastic member 410 to elastically expand outward when the abutting portion 420 abuts against the inner wall surface of the elastic member 410 .

[0054] In order to facilitate the installation of the elastic member 410 in the shaft hole 330, please refer to Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The elastic member 410 includes an elastic portion 411 and a connecting portion 412. The elastic portion 411 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating portion 12, and the connecting portion 412 is connected to the outer peripheral surface of the elastic portion 411. The inner wall of the shaft hole 330 is provided with a positioning portion 340, and the connecting portion 412 is engaged with the positioning portion 340, and there is a deformation space between the elastic portion 411 and the inner wall of the shaft hole 330. The elastic member 410 can be installed in the shaft hole 330 by engaging the connecting portion 412 with the positioning portion 340. Such an installation operation is simple and can effectively improve production efficiency.

[0055] In some structural forms, the connecting portion 412 may be a convex block convexly provided on the outer peripheral surface of the elastic portion 411, and the positioning portion 340 may be a groove concavely provided on the inner wall of the shaft hole 330. By engaging the convex block with the groove, the elastic member 410 and the second connecting arm 300 can be assembled and fixed, and a deformation space can be provided between the elastic portion 411 and the inner wall of the shaft hole 330. Alternatively, the connecting portion 412 may be a groove concavely provided on the outer peripheral surface of the elastic portion 411, and the positioning portion 340 may be a convex block convexly provided on the inner wall of the shaft hole 330. Here, the present application does not limit the specific forms of the connecting portion 412 and the positioning portion 340.

[0056] Furthermore, the present application can also control the size of the deformation space by designing the height of the connecting portion 412, thereby being able to effectively control the deformation range of the elastic portion 411, so that it can deform in an expected manner when subjected to force, thereby achieving good buffering and damping effects.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, the inner wall of the elastic member 410 is provided with a first limiting portion 414 and a second limiting portion 415 at intervals along the circumferential direction. When the ear clip type earphone 1 is in the wearing state, the top abutting portion 420 contacts and cooperates with the first limiting portion 414. When the ear clip type earphone 1 is in the unlocked state, the top abutting portion 420 contacts and cooperates with the second limiting portion 415.

[0058] Specifically, when the ear clip earphone 1 is worn on the auricle and the clamping force of the ear clip earphone 1 on the auricle needs to be fine-tuned, after the force of rotating around the rotating shaft assembly 10 is applied to the first connecting arm 200 and the second connecting arm 300, the top abutting portion 420 will slide in the first limiting portion 414, and when the ear clip earphone 1 has a suitable clamping force on the auricle, the top abutting portion 420 will be fixed at this position. If the ear clip earphone 1 needs to be unlocked from the ear, it is necessary to use a greater force to pry apart the first connecting arm 200 and the second connecting arm 300 so that the top abutting portion 420 can be switched from the first limiting portion 414 to the second limiting portion 415. Therefore, the present application can stably maintain the ear clip earphone 1 in different states by providing the first limiting portion 414 and the second limiting portion 415 spaced apart on the elastic member 410. In the wearing state, the top abutting portion 420 contacts and cooperates with the first limiting portion 414 to ensure that the ear clip type earphone 1 is firmly fixed in place to prevent it from falling off due to accidental collision or movement. In the unlocking state, the top abutting portion 420 contacts and cooperates with the second limiting portion 415 to facilitate the user to quickly unlock or remove the ear clip type earphone 1.

[0059] In some embodiments, please refer to Fig. 9 , the first limiting portion 414 and the second limiting portion 415 may both be in the form of grooves. The groove depth of the first limiting portion 414 may be smaller than the groove depth of the second limiting portion 415, that is, the second limiting portion 415 is further away from the abutting portion 420 than the first limiting portion 414, so that the damping force generated when the abutting portion 420 abuts against the first limiting portion 414 is greater than when the abutting portion 420 abuts against the second limiting portion 415, so that the user can more easily feel the different states after switching.

[0060] In some other embodiments, the first limiting portion 414 and the second limiting portion 415 may also be designed to have frosted structures with different degrees of friction, so that the friction force that the abutting portion 420 needs to overcome when moving on the first limiting portion 414 is greater than the friction force that the abutting portion 420 needs to overcome when moving on the second limiting portion 415. Here, the present application does not limit the specific forms of the first limiting portion 414 and the second limiting portion 415.

[0061] It is understandable that when adjusting the clamping force of the ear clip earphone 1 on the auricle, it is necessary to operate slowly to avoid operating too quickly, which may cause pain to the user after the ear clip earphone 1 clamps the auricle. In the present application, the damping force generated when the top abutting portion 420 abuts against the first limit portion 414 in the wearing state is designed to be greater than the damping force generated when the top abutting portion 420 abuts against the first limit portion 414 in the unlocked state, which can make it more convenient for users to perform fine adjustments.

[0062] In yet another embodiment, see Figure 6 as well as Figures 10 to 12 The damping structure 400 includes an elastic member 410 , a first adjusting member 430 and a second adjusting member 440 .

[0063] The first adjusting member 430 is slidably disposed in the axial direction of the rotating portion 12 of the rotating shaft assembly 10, and is relatively fixed to the rotating portion 12 in the circumferential direction of the rotating portion 12. The second adjusting member 440 is fixedly connected to the second connecting arm 300, and is sleeved on the rotating portion 12, and can be rotatably disposed relative to the rotating portion 12, and the first connecting arm 200 is relatively fixed to the fixed portion 11 of the rotating shaft assembly 10. The elastic member 410 is connected to the first adjusting member 430, and provides elastic force, driving the surfaces of the first adjusting member 430 and the second adjusting member 440 facing each other in the axial direction of the rotating shaft assembly 10 to always contact each other, so as to generate a damping force.

[0064] Specifically, the elastic member 410 is connected to the first adjusting member 430, and drives the surfaces of the first adjusting member 430 and the second adjusting member 440 facing each other in the axial direction of the rotating shaft assembly 10 to always contact each other, thereby generating a damping force. With such a configuration, when the user needs to adjust the spacing between the sound component 20 and the functional component 30, the force applied to the first connecting arm 200 and the second connecting arm 300 is greater than the damping force between the first adjusting member 430 and the second adjusting member 440, and the first connecting arm 200 and the second connecting arm 300 will rotate. When the spacing between the sound component 20 and the functional component 30 is adjusted to a suitable position, the damping force will make the sound component 20 and the functional component 30 relatively fixed, so that the ear clip earphone 1 can be firmly clamped on the user's auricle.

[0065] In order to facilitate the installation of the elastic member 410, the first adjusting member 430 and the second adjusting member 440, please refer to Fig.11 and Fig.12The elastic member 410, the first adjusting member 430 and the second adjusting member 440 of the embodiment of the present application are all arranged in an annular shape, and the elastic member 410, the first adjusting member 430 and the second adjusting member 440 are sequentially sleeved on the shaft assembly 10. Among them, the cross-section of the shaft assembly 10 in the axial direction is a non-circular structure, such as an elliptical, square, rectangular structure, etc., and the cross-section of the hole in which the first adjusting member 430 is sleeved on the shaft assembly 10 is the same as the cross-section of the shaft assembly 10, so that the first adjusting member 430 can be slidably arranged in the axial direction of the shaft assembly 10 and relatively fixed to the shaft assembly 10 in the circumferential direction of the shaft assembly 10. The cross-section of the hole in which the second adjusting member 440 is sleeved on the shaft assembly 10 is larger than the outer diameter of the shaft assembly 10, and the second adjusting member 440 is fixedly connected to the second connecting arm 300. In this way, the second adjusting member 440 can be rotatably arranged relative to the shaft assembly 10 and relatively fixed in the axial direction of the shaft assembly 10.

[0066] Of course, in some other embodiments, the first adjusting member 430 may be a block structure and provided with a matching portion. Along the axial direction of the rotating shaft assembly 10, a mounting portion is provided on the rotating shaft assembly 10, and the first adjusting member 430 can be slidably arranged in the axial direction of the rotating shaft assembly 10 through the clamping of the matching portion and the mounting portion, so as to satisfy the first adjusting member 430 to be relatively fixed with the rotating shaft assembly 10 in the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft assembly 10. The second adjusting member 440 may also be integrally formed with the second connecting arm 300, or may be a block structure and embedded in the second connecting arm 300. The elastic member 410 may be in the form of a spring, a spring sheet, a tension spring, etc. Here, the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific forms of the elastic member 410, the first adjusting member 430, and the second adjusting member 440.

[0067] The damping structure 400 of the embodiment of the present application further includes a baffle 480, which is fixedly connected to the shaft assembly 10, and the elastic member 410 is supported between the baffle 480 and the first adjusting member 430. It can be understood that since the second adjusting member 440 is relatively fixed in the axial direction of the shaft assembly 10, after one end of the elastic member 410 abuts against the baffle 480, the other end will drive the first adjusting member 430 and the second adjusting member 440 to contact each other, thereby generating a damping force.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, one of the first adjusting member 430 and the second adjusting member 440 is provided with a third limiting portion 450 and a fourth limiting portion 460, and the other of the first adjusting member 430 and the second adjusting member 440 is provided with a pressing portion 470. When the ear clip type earphone 1 is in the wearing state, the pressing portion 470 contacts and cooperates with the third limiting portion 450. When the ear clip type earphone 1 is in the unlocked state, the pressing portion 470 contacts and cooperates with the fourth limiting portion 460.

[0069] Specifically, when the ear clip earphone 1 is worn on the auricle and the clamping force of the ear clip earphone 1 on the auricle needs to be fine-tuned, after the force of rotating around the rotating shaft assembly 10 is applied to the first connecting arm 200 and the second connecting arm 300, the pressing portion 470 will slide in the third limiting portion 450, and when the ear clip earphone 1 has a suitable clamping force on the auricle, the pressing portion 470 will be fixed at this position. If the ear clip earphone 1 needs to be unlocked from the ear, it is necessary to use a greater force to pry apart the first connecting arm 200 and the second connecting arm 300 so that the pressing portion 470 can be switched from the third limiting portion 450 to the fourth limiting portion 460. Therefore, the present application can stably maintain the ear clip earphone 1 in different states by providing the third limiting portion 450 and the fourth limiting portion 460 spaced apart on the elastic member 410. In the wearing state, the pressing portion 470 contacts and cooperates with the third limiting portion 450 to ensure that the ear clip type earphone 1 is firmly fixed in place to prevent it from falling off due to accidental collision or movement. In the unlocking state, the pressing portion 470 contacts and cooperates with the fourth limiting portion 460 to facilitate the user to quickly unlock or remove the ear clip type earphone 1.

[0070] In some embodiments, the third limiting portion 450 and the fourth limiting portion 460 may both be in the form of grooves. The groove depth of the third limiting portion 450 may be less than the groove depth of the fourth limiting portion 460, that is, the fourth limiting portion 460 is further away from the pressing portion 470 than the third limiting portion 450, so that the damping force generated when the pressing portion 470 abuts against the third limiting portion 450 is greater than the damping force generated when the pressing portion 470 abuts against the fourth limiting portion 460, so that the user can more easily feel the different states after switching.

[0071] In some other embodiments, the third limiting portion 450 and the fourth limiting portion 460 may also be designed as frosted structures with different degrees of friction, so that the friction force that the pressing portion 470 needs to overcome when moving on the third limiting portion 450 is greater than the friction force that the pressing portion 470 needs to overcome when moving on the fourth limiting portion 460. Here, the present application does not limit the specific forms of the third limiting portion 450 and the fourth limiting portion 460.

[0072] It should be noted that the damping force provided by the damping structure 400 of the embodiment of the present application will cause the first connecting arm 200 and the second connecting arm 300 to adjust their positions only by slowly moving. The damping force can slow down the movement speed of the object by absorbing and dissipating energy, so that the object can stop or change position smoothly. In this case, the damping force is relatively fixed and continuously acts on the object to achieve a smooth adjustment process. However, when the object is suddenly impacted, the damping force will be generated quickly. In the event of an instantaneous impact, the damping force may help slow down the speed of the object and disperse the impact force, thereby avoiding the risk of the ear clip earphone 1 falling.

[0073] In order to facilitate the rotational connection between the first connecting arm 200 and the second connecting arm 300 through the rotating shaft assembly 10, the first connecting arm 200 is provided with a first assembly portion 211, the second connecting arm 300 includes two second assembly portions 311 arranged at intervals, and the rotating shaft assembly 10 includes a first rotating shaft 110 and a second rotating shaft 120 respectively fixedly connected to the first assembly portion 211, wherein the first rotating shaft 110 and the second rotating shaft 120 are both provided with the above-mentioned fixed portion 11 and rotating portion 12. A limited space is formed between the two second assembly portions 311, the first assembly portion 211 is inserted into the limited space, and the two second assembly portions 311 are respectively rotationally connected to the first rotating shaft 110 and the second rotating shaft 120. In this arrangement, since the first rotating shaft 110 and the second rotating shaft 120 are respectively fixedly connected to the first assembly portion 211 and the two second assembly portions 311, and the limited space ensures the relative position of each component, the entire assembly structure is more stable, which can effectively reduce the looseness or friction between the components, and improve the stability and reliability of the system.

[0074] Among them, when the damping structure 400 is configured as one, the damping structure 400 connects the second assembly part 311 and the first rotating shaft 110, and can also connect the second assembly part 311 and the second rotating shaft 120. When the damping structure 400 is configured as two, one damping structure 400 connects the second assembly part 311 and the first rotating shaft 110, and the other damping structure 400 connects the second assembly part 311 and the second rotating shaft 120. The present application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0075] In some structural forms, see Fig.13 The first connecting arm 200 includes a first bracket 210 and a first arm body 220 connected to each other, the first bracket 210 and the first arm body 220 define a first wiring channel 230 inside, and the first bracket 210 is provided with a first assembly portion 211. The second connecting arm 300 includes a second bracket 310 and a second arm body 320, the second bracket 310 and the second arm body 320 define a second wiring channel 350 inside, and the second bracket 310 is provided with a second assembly portion 311. When the first assembly portion 211 is inserted into the limiting space, the first wiring channel 230 is connected to the second wiring channel 350. In this way, the first connecting arm 200 and the second connecting arm 300 are easier to process and more convenient to assemble, and the rotation connection of the first connecting arm 200 and the second connecting arm 300 is further facilitated.

[0076] See also Fig.13The ear clip earphone 1 further includes a conductive wire 40, which connects the sound component 20 and the functional component 30 through the first wiring channel 230 and the second wiring channel 350. The first wiring channel 230 and the second wiring channel 350 enable the conductive wire 40 to be reasonably arranged and connected to the sound component 20 and the functional component 30. By embedding the wiring channel in the bracket and the arm body, the line wiring is made more compact, which is beneficial to the compactness and aesthetic appearance of the overall structure.
