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

[0002] Currently, earphones have become ubiquitous, and different styles of earphones have gradually appeared on the market. Among them, with the development of wireless technology, wireless earphones are gradually replacing some wired earphones.

[0003] In-ear headphones and semi-in-ear headphones have long been criticized for the health risks such as inflammation caused by their pressure on the ear canal and the sealing of the ear canal environment when worn.

[0004] To address this problem, open-type headphones that are not inserted into the ears have been developed on the market. Among these open-type headphones, there are ear clip-on headphones. When using the current ear clip-on headphones, the headphones are basically clamped at the earlobe of the ear (as shown in the attached manual). Figure 1 shown).

[0005] For details, please refer to the attached manual. Figure 1 The ear-clip earphone shown, after being clamped on the ear, the sound output component on the earphone is located on the side of the concha cavity close to the antihelix. At this time, the sound output component of the earphone is at a certain distance from the ear canal opening of the ear. Therefore, there will be a long distance between the sound output component and the ear canal and a difficult-to-grasp audio conduction angle into the ear, which makes it difficult to provide users with excellent sound quality experience and better privacy guarantee for audio use.

[0006] At the same time, since the sound output component of the earphone is generally located on the side of the concha cavity close to the antihelix, there is still some distance between the sound hole on the sound output component and the ear canal, that is, the sound hole does not correspond to the ear canal, there will be a certain amount of sound leakage, which will affect the sound transmission effect of the earphone to a certain extent.

[0007] Therefore, in the utility model patent application, the applicant carefully studied an ear-clip type earphone to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0044] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0045] [First embodiment]

[0046] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides an ear-clip earphone, including an earphone body clamped at the tragus, and the earphone body includes a first shell 11, a second shell 12 and an elastic connecting member 13.

[0047] The two ends of the elastic connecting member 13 are connected to the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 respectively, and the elastic connecting member 13 is bent between the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 to form a clamping space with an opening, and the clamping space is configured to be clamped on the human auricle 21.

[0048] The elastic connector 13 is a connector made of a deformable material. Preferably, the elastic connector 13 is configured as a silicone connector or a silicone resin connector.

[0049] In this embodiment, memory metal is disposed inside the elastic connector 13. A through slot is disposed on the elastic connector 13 to connect the first shell 11 and the second shell 12, the memory metal is installed in the through slot, and the two ends of the memory metal are fixedly connected to the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 respectively.

[0050] When in use, the memory metal is stretched outward to deform, so that the clamping space between the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 gradually becomes larger. At this time, the earphone body is clamped on the human auricle 21, and then the force on the earphone body is released. At this time, due to the disappearance of the external force, the memory metal is reset and drives the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 at both ends to approach each other, so that the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 clamp the human auricle 21 to achieve the clamping effect.

[0051] The first shell 11 is located on the inner side of the tragus 21 of the human ear and the first shell 11 is located in the external auditory canal and maintains a gap with the auditory canal opening 23 of the external auditory canal. Preferably, the gap between the first shell 11 and the auditory canal opening 23 of the external auditory canal is 0 to 5 mm.

[0052] The first shell 11 is an elliptical structure and its arc shape is adapted to the external auditory canal 22 of the human ear, so that the first shell 11 can be stably placed at the external auditory canal 22 and provide clamping stability for the earphone body.

[0053] The angle a between the first shell 11 and the elastic connecting member 13 is 40° to 100°; preferably, the angle a between the first shell 11 and the elastic connecting member 13 is 43°.

[0054] The second shell 12 is generally elliptical and is located outside the tragus 21 of the human ear. The angle b between the second shell 12 and the elastic connector 13 is 85° to 120°. Preferably, the angle b between the second shell 12 and the elastic connector 13 is 87°. In this embodiment, the angle a is set to 43° and the angle b is set to 87°. The coordination of the two angles can ensure the clamping stability and comfort of the earphone, and at the same time, ensure the acoustic effect of the earphone.

[0055] After wearing, the earphone body is entirely arranged horizontally on the human ear.

[0056] In this embodiment, the earphone body is an air conduction earphone, and the earphone body also includes a sound module, which is arranged in the first shell 11. The first shell 11 is provided with a sound hole 111, and the sound hole 111 is located on the side of the first shell 11 away from the elastic connecting part 13. The sound hole 111 is arranged to align with the ear canal opening 23 of the external auditory canal, which can improve the sound propagation effect of the earphone.

[0057] Specifically, the ear-clip earphone of the present embodiment is an air conduction earphone, wherein the air conduction earphone is an earphone that transmits sound through air vibration and uses beamforming technology for directional sound transmission; in the present embodiment, the sound module in the first shell 11 includes a speaker, which mainly uses air conduction to transmit sound. After the earphone is clamped to the tragus, the first shell 11 is located at the external auditory canal and corresponds to the ear canal opening 23 of the external auditory canal. At this time, when the earphone is in operation, the sound generated by the sound module in the first shell 11 can directly enter the ear canal, thereby reducing sound leakage of the earphone and improving the sound transmission effect. Therefore, the earphone provided in the present embodiment has a shorter sound transmission distance and can provide users with a better acoustic experience.

[0058] It is worth noting that the specific electronic components inside the air conduction earphones can be found in the prior art and will not be elaborated here, as long as the corresponding effects of this application can be achieved.

[0059] [Second embodiment]

[0060] See also Figure 2-Figure 3 , Figure 6-Figure 8 The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that: in this embodiment, the first shell 11 is substantially cylindrical, and the first shell 11 is provided with an arc portion 112 adapted to the shape of the ear canal opening on the side facing the ear, wherein the arc portion 112 is substantially spout-shaped and convexly disposed toward the second shell 12 (see Figure 8 ), and at the same time, a sound outlet hole 111 is arranged at the top of the arc-shaped portion 112; and the second shell 12 is cylindrical, and the two sides of the second shell 12 are arranged in semicircular shapes.

[0061] In this embodiment, after the earphone is worn, the second shell 12 fits against the zygomatic arch of the human zygomatic bone, and the first shell 11 is located inside the ear and corresponds to the external auditory canal, wherein the arc-shaped portion 112 structure of the first shell 11 is adapted to the ear canal opening of the external auditory canal, and the sound outlet 111 is accommodated in the external auditory canal, so that the sound generated by the sound module can directly enter the ear canal, thereby reducing sound leakage of the earphone and improving the sound transmission effect.

[0062] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the angle a between the first shell 11 and the elastic connecting member 13 is 77°, and the angle b between the second shell 12 and the elastic connecting member 13 is 104°. The clip-on earphones in this embodiment can ensure the clamping stability and comfort of the earphones through the coordination of the two angles, while ensuring the acoustic effect of the earphones.

[0063] [Third embodiment]

[0064] See also Figure 2-Figure 3 , Figure 9-11The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that: in this embodiment, the first shell 11 is roughly elliptical, the second shell 12 is a rounded square structure, one end of the elastic connection bridge 13 is connected to the first shell 11, and the other side is connected to the second shell 12, and the structural width of the side where the elastic connection bridge 13 is connected to the second shell 12 corresponds to the width of the second shell 12, and the structural width of the other side gradually decreases along the direction of the first shell 11 and corresponds to the first shell 11. In this embodiment, the first shell 11, the second shell 12 and the elastic connection bridge 13 are arranged in one piece.

[0065] Furthermore, the side of the second shell 12 facing the ear is a horizontal fitting surface 121. After the earphone is worn, the fitting surface 121 can be closely attached to the corresponding part of the zygomatic arch of the human cheekbone, thereby further improving the wearing stability of the earphone.

[0066] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the angle a between the first shell 11 and the elastic connecting member 13 is 93°, and the angle b between the second shell 12 and the elastic connecting member 13 is 119°. The clip-on earphones in this embodiment can ensure the clamping stability and comfort of the earphones through the coordination of the two angles, while ensuring the acoustic effect of the earphones.

[0067] [Fourth embodiment]

[0068] See also Figure 2-Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Fig. 9 , the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that: in this embodiment, the earphone body is a bone conduction earphone, and the earphone body also includes a sound module, and the sound module is arranged in the second shell 12, and the second shell 12 is arranged at the zygomatic arch of the human zygomatic bone, so that the vibration generated by the sound module acts on the zygomatic bone, and then transmits the sound to the auditory nerve through the bone. Specifically, the working mode of the bone conduction earphone is mainly "bone conduction", that is, it can convert sound into mechanical vibrations of different frequencies, and can transmit sound waves through the human skull, bony labyrinth, inner ear lymph, spiral organ, and auditory center.

[0069] In this embodiment, the sound module includes a bone conduction speaker, and after the earphone is clamped to the tragus, the second shell 12 is attached to the zygomatic arch of the human zygomatic bone (the zygomatic bone is one of the facial skull bones). In other words, the sound module is attached to the zygomatic arch of the human zygomatic bone, so that the sound module can directly act on the zygomatic bone by converting the vibration signal (sound wave) converted from the electrical signal, thereby reducing the transmission distance of the vibration signal and improving the transmission effect of the sound; therefore, this embodiment has a shorter sound transmission distance and can provide users with a better acoustic experience.

[0070] It is worth noting that the specific structure of the bone conduction headset can be found in the prior art and will not be elaborated here, as long as the corresponding effects of this application can be achieved.

[0071] For further information, see Figure 9-11 In this embodiment, the side of the second shell 12 facing the ear is a horizontal fitting surface 121. The fitting surface 121 can make the second shell 12 fit more closely to the corresponding part of the zygomatic arch of the human zygomatic bone, thereby further improving the wearing stability of the earphone; at the same time, in this embodiment, the earphone is a bone conduction earphone, and the second shell 12 is tightly attached to the corresponding part of the zygomatic arch of the human zygomatic bone through the fitting surface 121. When the sound module in the second shell 12 is working, it is convenient for the sound module to apply the vibration signal (sound wave) to the zygomatic bone, thereby improving the sound transmission effect.

[0072] [Fifth embodiment]

[0073] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that in this embodiment, the angle a between the first shell 11 and the elastic connecting member 13 is selected from any one of 40°, 45°, 50°, 55°, 60°, 65°, 70°, 75°, 80°, 85°, 90°, 95°, and 100°, and the angle b between the second shell 12 and the elastic connecting member 13 is selected from any one of 85°, 90°, 95°, 100°, 105°, 110°, 115°, and 120°.

[0074] The key points of the design of the utility model are that the clamping space is configured to be clamped on the human tragus, so that the sound is closer to the ear canal opening and a gap is maintained with the ear canal opening without covering the ear canal opening, thereby ensuring a shorter sound transmission distance and obtaining a better acoustic experience. Moreover, the specific angle ranges between the first shell, the second shell and the elastic connecting member respectively ensure the clamping stability and comfort of the earphone body, and also ensure the acoustic effect of the earphone body.

[0075] Secondly, the structure on the first shell and its arc shape are adapted to the external auditory canal of the human ear, so that the first shell is stably placed at the external auditory canal and further provides clamping stability for the earphone body.
