Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Earhook headphones are headphones that have an auxiliary hanging decoration on the side of the headphones for easy use. Different from in-ear headphones. Earhook is a type of headphones classified according to the wearing method. Earhook headphones are widely used because of their portability, no earplugs, and comfortable wearing.

[0003] The shape and size of the ear hooks of existing ear-hook headphones are fixed. Due to the differences in ear shapes of people of different ages and people of different ear sizes, some people have ear hooks that are too large and too loose when worn, making them unstable to wear, or ear hooks that are too small and clamp their ears when worn, causing discomfort to the user. The ear hooks have poor adaptability and do not have the function of self-adjusting the clamping force. In addition, the wearing angle is not easy to adjust, resulting in poor comfort for the user when wearing.

[0004] Therefore, a solution for an ear-hook earphone is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide an earphone that improves the stability of the earphone in wearing, improves the reliability of the earphone in sound production, and enhances the adaptability of the earhook by mechanically adjusting the shape of the earhook.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides an ear-hook type earphone, comprising an earphone body, the earphone body comprising an earphone body and an ear-hook connected to the earphone body, wherein in the wearing state, the earphone body is located in the concha cavity of the ear, the earphone body is provided with a sound outlet hole for matching the ear canal of the ear, and the earphone body is provided with a contact part provided on the front side of the ear; the ear-hook is suspended between the back side of the ear and the head of the user, and the ear-hook and the earphone body elastically clamp the ear. The ear-hook cooperates with the earphone body to elastically clamp the ear, and the clamping force is mainly manifested as compressive stress, which is conducive to increasing the stability and comfort of wearing and preventing the earphone from falling off.

[0007] Preferably, the earphone body is provided with a first surface which at least partially fits with the wall of the concha cavity of the ear, the plane where the ear hook is located is arranged at an angle to the first surface, and the first surface and the ear hook cooperate to clamp on the ear from front to back, so that the earphone body is closely attached to the concha cavity of the ear.

[0008] Preferably, the included angle range between the plane where the ear hook is located and the first surface is 2-10°. When the earphone is in the wearing state, the ear hook cooperates with the earphone body, so that the earphone body provides a pressing force on the lower foot of the antihelix of the ear, thereby enabling the earphone to firmly adhere to the user's ear when in the wearing state. With such a setting, both the stability of the earphone in terms of wearing and the reliability of the earphone in terms of sound production can be improved.

[0009] Preferably, the root of the ear hook abuts against the antihelix of the ear, and the abutting part abuts against the concha of the ear. The root and the abutting part of the ear hook cooperate to clamp the ear from top and bottom. This can not only improve the stability of the earphone in terms of wearing, but also improve the reliability of the earphone in terms of sound production, and avoid the misalignment of the sound hole and the ear canal caused by the shaking of the earphone during exercise, resulting in unstable sound production of the earphone.

[0010] Preferably, the ear hook includes an elastic metal wire, a wire harness, and a flexible coating layer for coating the elastic metal wire and the wire harness. The deformation of the elastic metal wire, on the one hand, makes the ear hook closely adhere to the ear, improving the stability of the earphone in terms of wearing, and on the other hand, makes the earphone body press against the concha cavity of the ear, improving the reliability of the earphone in terms of sound production. The flexible coating layer increases the wearing comfort of the earphone.

[0011] Preferably, the ear hook further includes a transition part and a battery part connected to the transition part. The cross-sectional area of the battery part is larger than that of the transition part. The cross-sectional area of the transition part first gradually decreases and then gradually increases in the direction from the root of the ear hook to the free end of the ear hook. The transition part is designed with a structure that is thin in the middle and thick at both ends, so that the ear hook is not easy to shake when worn on the user's ear, improving the wearing stability. At the same time, the relatively soft transition part avoids causing a foreign body sensation to the ear, enhancing the wearing comfort of the user wearing the earphone.

[0012] Preferably, the distance range between the upper surface of the earphone body and the top end of the ear hook is 3.5-16.6 mm. This can not only provide sufficient clamping force to improve the stability of the earphone in terms of wearing, but also avoid discomfort in the ear caused by too small a distance.

[0013] Preferably, the distance range between the free end of the earphone body and the rear side of the ear hook is 0.5-3 mm. This can not only provide sufficient clamping force to improve the stability of the earphone in terms of wearing, but also avoid discomfort in the ear caused by too small a distance.

[0014] Preferably, the mass ratio between the battery part and the earphone body is 1:1. When in the wearing state, the same magnitude of force is applied to both ends of the transition part, improving the stability during wearing and also improving the reliability of the earphone in terms of sound production, and avoiding the misalignment of the sound hole and the ear canal caused by the shaking of the earphone during exercise, resulting in unstable sound production of the earphone.

[0015] Preferably, the cross-sectional area of the ear pendant near the earphone body is smaller than that of the ear pendant near the battery part. The cross-sectional area of the hanging section of the ear pendant can be reduced, making the hanging section thinner, so that it is not easy to cause pain when the user wears it, effectively improving the comfort of the user when wearing.

[0016] Advantages of the present utility model: The ear pendant and the earphone body cooperate to elastically clamp the ear, and the clamping force is mainly compressive stress, which is beneficial to increasing the wearing stability and comfort and preventing the earphone from falling off; the plane where the ear pendant is located is arranged at an angle with the first surface, providing a pressing force on the front side of the ear for the earphone body, so that when the earphone is in the wearing state, it can firmly adhere to the user's ear. Such a setting can not only improve the wearing stability of the earphone, but also improve the reliability of the earphone in terms of sound production; the elastic metal wire deforms, on the one hand, making the ear pendant close to the ear to improve the wearing stability of the earphone, and on the other hand, making the earphone body press the concha of the ear to improve the reliability of the earphone in terms of sound production; the transition part is designed into a structure that is thin in the middle and thick at both ends, making it not easy for the ear pendant to shake when worn on the user's ear, improving the wearing stability and enhancing the comfort of the user when wearing the earphone. The distance between the earphone body and the ear pendant is set to provide sufficient clamping force and improve the wearing stability of the earphone. Description of the Drawings

[0023] To further elaborate on the technical means and effects adopted by the present utility model to achieve the predetermined utility model purpose, the following describes in detail the specific embodiments, structures, features and their effects of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, an ear-hanging type earphone of the present utility model includes an earphone body 100. The earphone body 100 includes an earphone main body 1 and an ear hook 2 connected to the earphone main body 1. In the wearing state, the earphone main body 1 is located in the concha cavity of the ear, and the earphone main body 1 is provided with a sound outlet hole for matching the ear canal of the ear. The earphone main body 1 is provided with a contact portion 4 that abuts and adheres to the front side of the ear; the ear hook 2 is suspended between the rear side of the user's ear and the head, and the ear hook 2 and the earphone main body 1 elastically clamp the ear. The ear hook 2 and the earphone main body 1 cooperate to elastically clamp the ear, and the clamping force is mainly compressive stress, which is beneficial to increasing the wearing stability and comfort and avoiding the earphone from falling off.

[0025] When in use, the user inserts the earphone main body 1 into the concha cavity and / or triangular fossa of the ear, and the contact portion 4 abuts the lower foot of the antihelix of the ear. Since the concha cavity and / or triangular fossa have a certain depth and volume in three-dimensional space, when the earphone main body 1 is inserted into the concha cavity and / or triangular fossa, the earphone main body 1 can be hooked by the helix of the ear to prevent the earphone main body 1 from turning outwards when the earphone is in the wearing state, thereby improving the wearing stability of the earphone. At the same time, the ear hook 2 is suspended between the rear side of the user's ear and the head, and cooperates with the earphone main body 1 to elastically clamp the ear; it is beneficial to increasing the wearing stability and comfort and avoiding the earphone from falling off.

[0026] The earphone main body 1 is provided with a first surface 5 that at least partially fits the cavity wall of the concha cavity of the ear. The plane where the ear hook 2 is located is arranged at an angle with the first surface 5. The first surface 5 and the ear hook 2 cooperate to clamp the ear from front and back, so that the earphone main body 1 closely adheres to the concha cavity of the ear.

[0027] The included angle range between the plane where the ear hook 2 is located and the first surface 5 is 2-10°. When the earphone is in the wearing state, the ear hook 2 cooperates with the earphone main body 1 to provide a pressing force on the lower foot of the antihelix of the ear by the earphone main body 1, so that the earphone can firmly adhere to the user's ear when in the wearing state. Such a setting can not only improve the wearing stability of the earphone, but also improve the reliability of the earphone in sound production.

[0028] In this embodiment, the included angle between the plane where the ear hook 2 is located and the first surface 5 is 5.5°. Such a setting can not only ensure that the earphone main body 1 provides sufficient pressing force on the lower foot of the antihelix of the ear and improve the wearing stability of the earphone; but also avoid excessive pressing force, solve the problem of ear discomfort caused by long-term wearing, and increase the wearing comfort of the earphone.

[0029] The plane where the ear hook 2 is located is the plane where the common acting force on the ear by the ear hook 2 and the earphone main body 1 is located.

[0030] The root of the ear pendant 2 abuts against the helix crus of the ear, and the abutting part 4 abuts against the concha of the ear. The root of the ear pendant 2 and the abutting part 4 cooperate to clamp the ear up and down. It can not only improve the stability of the earphone in terms of wearing, but also improve the reliability of the earphone in terms of sound production, and avoid the misalignment of the sound hole and the ear canal caused by the shaking of the earphone during exercise, resulting in unstable sound production of the earphone.

[0031] The ear pendant 2 includes an elastic metal wire 7, a wire harness, and a flexible coating layer 8 for coating the elastic metal wire 7 and the wire harness. When the elastic metal wire 7 deforms, on the one hand, it makes the ear pendant 2 close to the ear, improving the stability of the earphone in terms of wearing; on the other hand, it makes the earphone main body 1 press the concha cavity of the ear, improving the reliability of the earphone in terms of sound production. The flexible coating layer 8 increases the wearing comfort of the earphone.

[0032] The ear pendant 2 further includes a transition part 6 and a battery part 3 connected to the transition part 6. The cross-sectional area of the battery part 3 is larger than that of the transition part 6. The cross-sectional area of the transition part 6 gradually decreases first and then gradually increases from the root of the ear pendant 2 to the free end of the ear pendant 2. The transition part 6 is designed with a structure that is thin in the middle and thick at both ends, so that the ear pendant 2 is not easy to shake when worn on the user's ear, improving the wearing stability. At the same time, the relatively soft transition part 6 avoids causing a foreign body sensation to the ear, enhancing the wearing comfort of the user wearing the earphone.

[0033] The distance between the upper surface of the earphone main body 1 and the top end of the ear pendant 2 ranges from 3.5 to 16.6 mm. It can not only provide sufficient clamping force to improve the stability of the earphone in terms of wearing, but also avoid discomfort in the ear caused by too small a distance during long-term wearing.

[0034] In this embodiment, the distance between the upper surface of the earphone main body 1 and the top end of the ear pendant 2 is 15.2 mm. It can not only provide sufficient clamping force to improve the stability of the earphone in terms of wearing, but also avoid excessive clamping force, solving the problem of ear discomfort caused by long-term wearing, and increasing the wearing comfort of the earphone.

[0035] The distance between the free end of the earphone main body 1 and the rear side of the ear pendant 2 ranges from 0.5 to 3 mm. It can not only provide sufficient clamping force to improve the stability of the earphone in terms of wearing, but also avoid discomfort in the ear caused by too small a distance.

[0036] In this embodiment, the distance between the free end of the earphone main body 1 and the rear side of the ear pendant 2 is 1.5 mm. It can not only provide sufficient clamping force to improve the stability of the earphone in terms of wearing, but also avoid excessive clamping force, solving the problem of ear discomfort caused by long-term wearing, and increasing the wearing comfort of the earphone.

[0037] The mass ratio between the battery unit 3 and the earphone main body 1 is 1:1. When in the worn state, the same magnitude of force is applied to both ends of the transition part 6, which improves the stability during wearing and can also improve the reliability of the earphone in terms of sound production, avoiding the misalignment of the sound holes and the ear canal caused by the shaking of the earphone during exercise and resulting in unstable sound production of the earphone.

[0038] The cross-sectional area of the ear hook 2 on the side close to the earphone main body 1 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the ear hook 2 on the side close to the battery unit 3. The cross-sectional area of the hanging section of the ear hook 2 can be reduced to make the hanging section thinner, so that it is not easy to cause pain when the user wears it, effectively improving the comfort of the user wearing.

[0039] In a further technical solution, the elastic metal wire 7 has a structure that deforms when subjected to an external force, such as elastic metal wires such as spring steel, titanium alloy, titanium-zirconium alloy, chromium-aluminum steel, aluminum alloy, copper alloy, etc. According to the actual situation, memory metal titanium wire is adopted. The titanium wire has excellent memory deformation ability, is easy to bend, and has high fatigue strength, can withstand high-intensity bending, and increases the service life.

[0040] In a further technical solution, the flexible coating layer 8 is a flexible material, and the Shore hardness of the flexible material is less than the Shore hardness of the earphone main body 1.

[0041] In a further technical solution, the flexible coating layer 8 is a material with a soft touch and a relatively soft texture, such as polycarbonate, polyamide, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer, silica gel, etc. According to the actual situation, liquid silica gel is adopted. The texture of the liquid silica gel is softer than that of ordinary plastics, and the user's skin will feel more comfortable when contacting it. Moreover, the liquid silica gel has no sensitizing components and is suitable for different people.

[0042] In a further technical solution, the transition part 6 is provided with a depression corresponding to the rear contour of the ear on the side facing the ear. Through the aforementioned profiling depression, the bulge at the rear of the ear can be avoided, so as to prevent the bulge at the rear of the ear from lifting the ear hook 2, and further enabling the ear hook 2 to better contact with the ear.

[0043] In a further technical solution, the outer surface of the earphone main body 1 and / or the ear hook 2 is a matte surface or a surface structure with texture. The matte surface increases the friction between the earphone main body 1 and / or the ear hook 2 and the user's ear and head, so as to overcome the self-weight of the earphone main body 1 and its internal movement mechanism, motherboard and other structures, and further improve the stability of the earphone during wearing.

[0044] During actual use, the user inserts the earphone main body 1 into the cymba conchae and / or triangular fossa of the ear, and the abutting part 4 abuts against the lower foot of the antihelix of the ear. Since the cymba conchae and / or triangular fossa have a certain depth and volume in three-dimensional space, the earphone main body 1 can be hooked by the helix of the ear when inserted into the cymba conchae and / or triangular fossa, so as to prevent the earphone main body 1 from turning outwards when the earphone is in a worn state, thereby improving the stability of the earphone during wearing. At the same time, the transition part 6 of the ear pendant 2 presses against the ear, and cooperates with the abutting part 4 of the earphone main body 1 to clamp the ear up and down; which is beneficial to increasing the wearing stability and comfort, and preventing the earphone from falling off; the first surface 5 cooperates with the ear pendant 2 to clamp the ear from front and back, so that the earphone main body 1 is closely attached to the cymba cavity of the ear.

[0045] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not impose any form of limitation on the present invention. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments by using the above-disclosed technical content within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, as long as it does not depart from the content of the technical solution of the present invention, any brief modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
