DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "install", "connect", "connect", "fix" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0031] The following is a further description with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0032] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the headset 1 and the ear hook 2 are included. The headset 1 includes a rotating shaft 21 fixedly connected to the housing of the headset 1. An axial hole 25 is provided on the ear hook 2 opposite to the rotating shaft 21. The rotating shaft 21 passes through the axial hole 25 and extends to the inside of the housing of the ear hook 2. The ear hook 2 and the headset 1 are rotatably connected through the rotating shaft 21 and the axial hole 25. The diameter of one end of the rotating shaft 21 extending to the inside of the housing of the ear hook 2 is larger than the diameter of the axial hole 25, so as to prevent the ear hook 2 from falling off when rotating. Elastic sheets 24 are arranged on the left and right sides, and the elastic sheets 24 have certain deformation and resilience performance. An arc-surface clamping platform 241 is arranged on the elastic sheet 24, and the arc-surface clamping platform 241 is a convex structure; a matching arc-surface groove 22 is arranged on the ear hook part 2 opposite to the arc-surface clamping platform 241. The ear hook part 2 is rotated until the arc-surface clamping platform 241 on the elastic sheet 24 is clamped into the arc-surface groove 22, which is the locking state of the ear hook part 2 and the earphone part 1. In this way, there will be no shaking between the ear hook part 2 and the earphone part 1.

[0033] In some embodiments, as shown in the attached Figure 2 As shown, a boss 211 is provided at one end of the rotating shaft 21, and the boss 211 extends to one side of the limit platform 23. A wire hole 212 is provided in the middle of the rotating shaft 21. The shell of the ear hook part 2 is a hollow structure. The wire hole 212 connects the earphone part 1 and the ear hook part 2 to facilitate the connection of the wire. A limit platform 23 is provided on the inner wall of the hollow shell of the ear hook part 2. The limit platform 23 is provided corresponding to the boss 211 on the rotating shaft 21. When the ear hook part 2 is rotated left or right, the rotating shaft 21 is fixed. When the boss 211 on the rotating shaft 21 contacts the limit platform 23, it is the maximum travel limit of the left and right rotation of the ear hook part 2 or the earphone part 1.

[0034] In this way, when the earphone part 1 is rotated, the shaft hole 25 on the ear hook part 2 remains stationary, and the rotating shaft 21 on the earphone part 1 rotates in the shaft hole 25 .

[0035] In some embodiments, as shown in the attached Figure 4 , Attachment Figure 5 , Attachment Figure 7 As shown, the ear hook part 2 also includes a battery 26 arranged inside the shell of the ear hook part 2, and the battery 26 is a lithium battery or a lead-acid battery that can be cyclically charged. The shell of the earphone part 1 has a cavity body, and a circuit board 11 and at least one speaker unit 12 are arranged in the cavity body. The circuit board 11 is arranged above the speaker unit 12, and a mesh 40 is opened in front of the speaker unit 12. The sound emitted by the speaker unit 12 is transmitted outward by the mesh 40. A charging socket 111, a microphone and a Bluetooth chip are arranged on the circuit board 11. The charging socket 111 is used to plug in an external power supply or an adapter, and the microphone is used to collect audio signals for convenient operations such as calls. The Bluetooth chip is connected to an audio playback device, and the charging socket 111 passes through the corresponding earphone part 1 shell. The power cord of the battery 26 passes through the wire hole 212 on the shaft 21 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 11. The battery 26 is used to power the circuit board 11, and the speaker unit 12 is electrically connected to the circuit board 11.

[0036] For example, when using the right earphone, the mesh 40 on the earphone part 1 is located on the inner side of the earphone part 1. The ear hook part 2 or the earphone part 1 of the right earphone is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise, and the earphone part 1 or the ear hook part 2 rotates along the central axis of the rotating shaft 21. When the boss 211 at the front end of the rotating shaft 21 contacts one side of the limit platform 23 on the ear hook part 2, it is the maximum rotation stroke of the ear hook part 2 or the earphone part 1. While rotating, the arc-surface clamping platform 241 on the elastic sheet 24 slides out of the arc-surface groove 22, and the elastic sheet 24 deforms and retracts inwardly. When the ear hook part 2 or the earphone part 1 rotates to the arc-surface clamping platform 241, it is again clamped into the arc-surface groove 22 and the front of the rotating shaft 21. When the boss 211 at the end contacts one side of the limit platform 23 on the ear hook part 2, the mesh hole 40 on the earphone part 1 is located on the outer side of the earphone part 1, completing the mirror image change of the overall structure of the earphone. At this time, the earphone can be worn on the left ear, and the operation is very convenient. During use, the user can quickly and conveniently switch the left and right auricles of the human body where the earphone is worn. When any one of the left or right earphones is damaged, only one earphone of the same model needs to be purchased to achieve pairing. For users who are accustomed to wearing earphones on one ear, it is more convenient and can be worn on the left and right ears alternately to reduce the discomfort caused by wearing the auricle for a long time.

[0037] In some embodiments, as shown in the attached Figure 6 As shown, the ear hook portion 2 includes a tail shell 10, a middle shell 20 and a front shell 30 from left to right, wherein the middle shell 20 is made of a soft plastic or silicone material with a certain resilience, and the tail shell 10, the middle shell 20 and the front shell 30 are fixedly connected;

[0038] In this way, when wearing the earphone, the middle shell 20 on the ear hook part 2 is located at the top of the human auricle, and it contacts the human auricle. The soft material makes it more comfortable to wear. After wearing, due to the gravity generated by the front earphone part 1 and the rear tail shell 10, the middle shell 20 produces a certain deformation. At the same time, the opening between the earphone part 1 and the tail shell 10 becomes smaller. The maximum opening variation range between the two is set to 4-8MM. At this time, the earphone fits tightly on the human ear, making it more stable to wear, and it has a certain elastic balance effect, which is very practical. The above is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not used to limit the utility model. For those skilled in the art, the utility model can have various changes and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
