Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of earphones, in particular to a multi-joint arm adaptive head-mounted earphone. Background Art

[0002] Headphones play a very important role in people's life and production process. From wired in-ear headphones, TWS headphones, bone conduction headphones to OWS headphones, the design of headphones has been updated and iterated, and is constantly developing towards better comfort and stability.

[0003] However, these headphones have always relied on the support of the concha or auricle when worn, which causes a feeling of earplug or pressure on the auricle, and it is easy to cause pain when worn for a long time. In the field of sleep, people have particularly high requirements for the comfort of headphones. The structure of traditional headphones determines that it is difficult to balance comfort and wearing stability. On the one hand, if the headphones are to be worn stably, they need to rely more on the support of the concha or auricle, and the force is mutual, which will inevitably cause the headphones to produce more pressure on the ears. On the other hand, for the sake of wearing comfort, the headphones are required to exert as little pressure on the concha or auricle as possible, which will inevitably lead to a small support force for wearing the headphones, making the headphones easy to fall off during use.

[0004] The support force of bone conduction headphones comes from the support of the auricle on the one hand, and from the static friction in front of the ear on the other hand, which makes bone conduction headphones more comfortable than ordinary in-ear headphones. Since bone conduction headphones require lateral pressure to maintain contact with the bones in front of the ear, they inevitably adopt a half-head ring structure with a tensioning effect, but this structure will cause trouble when sleeping. Because the half-head ring of the bone conduction headphones located at the back of the head needs to adapt to more people, it generally has size redundancy after wearing, and it is not affected by normal wearing. However, when sleeping on your back, the redundant part will be squeezed, causing the headphones to move forward, causing a strong sense of discomfort when wearing. Moreover, the bone conduction position of the bone conduction headphones changes, and it is not in the most suitable position in front of the ear for sound transmission, which seriously affects the user experience. In addition, the support structure of the bone conduction headphones is made of hard material, which is uncomfortable when worn for a long time or in sleeping scenarios.

[0005] Headphones generally use earmuffs to cover the ears when worn. Headphones are large in size, and the earmuffs press on the ears or clamp the ears on both sides of the head, which will cause strong discomfort and ear pain over time. In addition, since headphones are generally large in size, it is not convenient to lie flat or turn over when sleeping. Utility Model Content

[0034] Embodiment 1:

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment 1 of the utility model provides a multi-joint arm adaptive headphone, comprising a sheet 1, a connecting rod 2, a main rod 3, a hollow fastener 4, a rotating rod 5, a three-way connector 6, a latch 7, a movable housing 8, and an earphone housing composed of an earphone bottom shell 9 and an earphone surface shell 10. The sheet 1 is used to connect an SD card 11 (or a TF card), and specifically, the SD card 11 has positioning holes at four diagonal positions, and the positioning block at the first end of the sheet 1 is positioned through the positioning holes, and is assembled on the sheet 1 by hot melting and bonding to form a fixed connection.

[0036] The two ends of the connecting rod 2 are respectively hinged to the second end of the sheet body 1 and the first end of the main rod 3, and can be rotated to adjust the angle. The rotation is achieved by means of screws and nuts or movable rivets. Therefore, the connecting rod 2 can rotate relative to the sheet body 1, and the main rod 3 can also rotate relative to the connecting rod 2. A hollow fastener 4 is provided at the second end (integrated) of the main rod 3. The hollow fastener 4 is movably connected to the first end of the rotating rod 5. There is a clearance fit inside the hollow fastener 4, and the rotating rod 5 can rotate relative to the central axis of the main rod 3. At the same time, Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a limit block 12 is provided in the hollow fastener 4, and a limit slot 13 is provided at the first end of the rotating rod 5. The angle adjustment range of the rotating rod 5 is limited by the cooperation between the limit block 12 and the limit slot 13.

[0037] The second end of the rotating rod 5 is connected to the three-way connector 6, and the specific connection method can be threaded connection or bonding, that is, the second end of the rotating rod 5 is inserted into one of the mounting holes of the three-way connector 6. The other two corresponding mounting holes of the three-way connector 6 are aligned, and connected with the pin hole of the movable housing 8 through the latch 7, so that the movable housing 8 can rotate relative to the three-way connector 6, and the rotation axis is orthogonal to the central axis of the rotating rod 5 and the main rod 3. Specifically, the latch 7 is pressed into the aligned mounting hole of the three-way connector 6 by vertical riveting, and the end of the latch 7 is interference fit with the pin hole of the movable housing 8 by embossing technology, thereby ensuring that the connection between the latch 7 and the movable housing 8 is firm and reliable.

[0038] At the same time, top beads 14 are implanted on both sides of the movable shell 8, and top bead limiting holes 15 are left at the matching positions between the side walls of the three-way connector 6 and the movable shell 8. Figure 3 As shown, the movable housing 8 is damped when rotating relative to the three-way connector 6 and the rotation angle is 6° each time, which is convenient for the user to perform nearly stepless adjustment and can be maintained after the adjustment is in place.

[0039] The movable housing 8 is rotatably connected to the earphone bottom housing 9, and the earphone bottom housing 9 can rotate relative to the movable housing 8. Figure 4 As shown, a tooth surface 16 that cooperates with each other is also provided between the earphone bottom shell 9 and the movable shell 8, so that the rotation damping between the earphone bottom shell 9 and the movable shell 8 is increased, and the rotation can be maintained after being rotated to the right position. In addition, a limiting structure is also provided on the movable shell 8, and the rotation range of the earphone bottom shell 9 relative to the movable shell 8 is limited to 175 degrees by the limiting structure.

[0040] The earphone bottom shell 9 and the earphone surface shell 10 are fixedly connected by sealant or ultrasonic welding. The earphone housing composed of the earphone bottom shell 9 and the earphone surface shell 10 is provided with a sound unit and all other necessary electronic components to realize basic earphone functions such as answering calls and playing audio. It should be noted that the shape of the earphone housing is as follows Figure 5 As shown, the above-mentioned types include but are not limited to the ear-attaching type (a), the in-ear type (b), the open type (c), etc., and the size of the sound unit cavity can be made smaller, that is, smaller than the ear cavity size of the target population, thereby avoiding the feeling of ear plugging or pressure on the ear. And because the sound unit cavity is located in the ear cavity, by making full use of the space of the ear cavity, the sound unit is accommodated without protruding from the ear to cause pressure when sleeping on the side.

[0041] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the SD card 11 (or TF card) is arranged on the head-mounted structure (wireless communication is preferably adopted with the electronic components inside the earphone shell), and the head-mounted structure is an elastic structure, which is in an inwardly bent state by default. When worn on the head, the head-mounted structure is stretched open, thereby generating lateral tension. The tension is transmitted to the earphone shell through the multi-joint arm, so that the earphone shell is kept in contact with the ear, and the distance from the sound emitted by the sound unit to the ear is kept stable, so that the user can obtain a stable listening effect during use. At the same time, this method significantly reduces the support force required by the earphone with the help of the concha cavity or the auricle, and no earmuffs are provided, which is more convenient and comfortable in long-term wear or sleeping scenarios.

[0042] At the same time, the multi-joint arm adaptive headset provided in this embodiment has multiple rotation joints, and the joints have rotation damping (except for those mentioned above, the damping of other joints can adopt elastic holding structures, magnetic holding structures, etc.). The straight-line distance from the overall starting end to the end is changed by rotating the joints, and the overall bending angle is adjusted according to different head sizes, so that it can adapt to different head sizes.

[0043] Embodiment 2:

[0044] like Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, Embodiment 2 of the present utility model provides another articulated arm adaptive headset, which is mainly different from Embodiment 1 in that the connection method of the headset bottom shell is different. In this embodiment, the second end of the rotating rod 5 is connected to the headset bottom shell 9 through the ball head 17. Specifically, the headset bottom shell 9 is protrudingly provided with a connecting cavity 18 for receiving the ball head, and the outer surface of the connecting cavity 18 is provided with an external thread. Through the matching adjusting nut 19, it is first inserted into the second end of the rotating rod 5 before installation, and then the ball head 17 at the second end of the rotating rod 5 is inserted into the connecting cavity 18, and the adjusting nut 19 is turned to close the connecting cavity 18. The damping is adjusted by the degree of tightening by hand, so that the headset bottom shell 9 can be adjusted steplessly on the ball head 17.

[0045] The inventive concept and beneficial effects of Example 2 of the present utility model are similar to those of Example 1 and will not be described in detail here.

[0046] The technical features of the above embodiments may be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0047] The above embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the attached claims.
