Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of wireless earphones, and particularly to a clip-on earphone. Background Art

[0002] Currently, earphones on the market are divided into two categories, namely in-ear earphones and non-in-ear earphones. Since in-ear earphones need to insert the sound outlet holes of the earphones into the ear canals, wearing in-ear earphones is likely to cause damage to the eardrums, and thus lead to hearing loss. Non-in-ear earphones are divided into over-ear earphones and clip-on earphones. Over-ear earphones occupy a large space and have a large size, making them inconvenient to carry and store. Clip-on earphones are favored by consumers because of their small and beautiful shape. It is easy to understand that due to different ages, genetic factors, and growth environments, there will be differences in the shape and size of the auricles. Currently, the length of existing clip-on earphones cannot be adjusted, and they cannot compensate for or overcome the adverse effects brought by auricle differences. As a result, people will have different experiences after wearing the same model of clip-on earphones. For example, for some people, the distance between the sound outlet hole and the eardrum is moderate after wearing the clip-on earphone, while for some people, the distance between the sound outlet hole and the eardrum is relatively far after wearing the same model of clip-on earphone, resulting in a relatively small headphone sound, or the distance between the sound outlet hole and the eardrum is relatively close, resulting in a relatively large headphone sound, which seriously affects the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above problems, this application provides a clip-on earphone, which is ingeniously designed and has a simple structure. Through the slidable setting between the earphone stem and the earhook, the position of the earhook on the earphone stem can be adjusted, thereby realizing the adjustment of the effective length of the earphone stem, enabling the earphone to adapt to users with different auricle shapes and sizes. In addition, by setting ear clips, the clamping effect of the earphone can be improved, the risk of the earphone falling off the ear can be reduced, and the adaptability of the earphone to the user's movement can be enhanced. The technical solutions adopted in this application are as follows:

[0004] A clip-on earphone, comprising:

[0005] An earphone main body, the earphone main body includes an earphone head and an earphone stem; an earhook, one end of the earhook is slidably clamped to the earphone stem; an ear clip, the ear clip is rotatably connected to the end of the earhook; the earphone head, the earhook, and the ear clip enclose a clip-on ear space.

[0006] Through the slidable setting between the earphone stem and the earhook, the position of the earhook on the earphone stem can be adjusted, thereby realizing the adjustment of the effective length of the earphone stem, enabling the earphone to adapt to users with different auricle shapes and sizes. In addition, by setting ear clips, the clamping effect of the earphone can be improved, the risk of the earphone falling off the ear can be reduced, and the adaptability of the earphone to the user's movement can be enhanced.

[0007] In some embodiments, the earphone stem is provided with a first chute, and the earhook is provided with a clamping portion, and the clamping portion is adapted to be clamped in the first chute.

[0008] By arranging the first chute on the earphone stem and the clamping portion on the earhook, when wearing the earphone, the clamping portion will not press against the ear, that is to say, the clamping portion will not act as a protrusion to press against the ear and cause discomfort to the ear.

[0009] In some embodiments, there are two first chutes, and the openings of the two first chutes face away from each other.

[0010] By arranging two first chutes, obviously, there are also two clamping positions between the earhook and the earphone stem. Compared with only arranging one first chute, the force on the earhook is more uniform, which can improve the smoothness of the earhook sliding on the earphone stem and reduce the risk of jamming when the earhook slides.

[0011] In some embodiments, the side of the earphone stem close to the earhook is cylindrical, and the end of the earhook close to the earphone stem is in a groove shape adapted to the earphone stem.

[0012] By setting the side of the earphone stem close to the earhook as cylindrical and the corresponding part of the earhook as groove-shaped, compared with designing the side of the earphone stem close to the earhook as a shape with edges and corners, the risk of jamming when the earhook slides is smaller, which improves the smoothness of the earhook sliding. In addition, when wearing the earphone, the earphone stem can better fit the ear, and there will be no situation where the edges and corners squeeze the ear, improving the wearing experience.

[0013] In some embodiments, an installation groove is provided at the end of the earhook close to the earphone stem, and an elastic component is provided in the installation groove. The end of the elastic component can stretch relative to the installation groove, and the end of the elastic component abuts against the earphone stem. The part of the earphone stem in contact with the elastic component is located between the two first chutes.

[0014] By arranging the elastic component, the end of the elastic component pushes against the earphone stem, which can make the clamping portion of the earhook contact the first chute, avoid loosening between the clamping portion and the first chute, and further cause changes in the clamping position. In addition, due to the appearance of the elastic component, the force on the earhook is more uniform, further improving the smoothness of the earhook sliding.

[0015] In some embodiments, the elastic component includes a spring and a ball, the ball is the end of the elastic component, and the spring is pressed in the installation groove by the ball.

[0016] In some embodiments, the earphone handle is provided with a second slide groove, the second slide groove is located between two of the first slide grooves, and the end of the elastic component abuts against the second slide groove.

[0017] By setting a second slide groove, when the ear hook slides along the earphone handle, the end of the elastic component abuts against the second slide groove and moves along the second slide groove. The second slide groove limits the end of the elastic component, thereby reducing the risk of relative rotation or shaking between the ear hook and the earphone handle.

[0018] In some embodiments, the earphone handle is provided with a plurality of grooves, wherein the grooves are located between two of the first slide grooves, and the end of the elastic component is suitable for abutting against any of the grooves.

[0019] By providing the groove, the end of the elastic component can follow the sliding of the ear hook and be stuck in the groove, that is, the sliding distance of the ear hook relative to the earphone handle is differentiated by gears, or graded.

[0020] In some embodiments, the ear clip is rotatably connected to the end of the ear hook via a damping shaft, so that the ear clip can stop at any position.

[0021] By adopting the damping shaft, the ear clip can be kept at any rotation angle position, that is, the clamping degree of the earphone can be adjusted by adjusting the rotation angle of the ear clip to meet the clamping degree requirements of different users for the earphone.

[0022] In some embodiments, the ear clip is rotatably connected to the end of the ear hook via a rotating shaft, and a torsion spring is provided on the rotating shaft so that the ear clip can clamp the ear.

[0023] By arranging a torsion spring on the rotating shaft, the torsion spring can be torsionally deformed after the ear clip rotates, so that the ear clip has a tendency to return to its original position, thereby clamping the ear and preventing the earphone from falling off the ear.

[0024] The present application provides an ear-clip headset, which has at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. The present application provides an ear-clip earphone, which can adjust the position of the ear hook on the earphone handle through a sliding setting between the earphone handle and the ear hook, thereby adjusting the effective length of the earphone handle, so that the earphone can adapt to users with different auricle shapes and sizes. In addition, by providing an ear clip, the clamping effect of the earphone can be improved, the risk of the earphone falling off the ear can be reduced, and the adaptability of the earphone to user movements can be improved.

[0026] 2. The present application provides an ear-clip earphone, in which the first sliding groove is set on the earphone handle and the clamping part is set on the ear hook, so that the clamping part will not cause pressure on the ear when the earphone is clipped on, that is, the clamping part will not press the ear as a protrusion and cause discomfort to the ear.

[0027] 3. The present application provides an ear-clip earphone, which has two first sliding grooves. Obviously, there are also two clamping parts between the ear hook and the earphone handle. Compared with only one first sliding groove, the force on the ear hook is more uniform, which can improve the smoothness of the ear hook when sliding on the earphone handle and reduce the risk of the ear hook getting stuck when sliding.

[0028] 4. The present application provides a clip-on earphone, which has a cylindrical shape on the side of the earphone handle close to the ear hook and a groove-shaped corresponding part of the ear hook. Compared with designing the side of the earphone handle close to the ear hook to have an angular shape, the risk of the ear hook getting stuck when sliding is lower, and the smoothness of the ear hook sliding is improved. In addition, when clipping the earphone, the earphone handle can better fit the ear, and there will be no corners squeezing the ear, which improves the clip-on wearing experience.

[0029] 5. The present application provides an ear-clip earphone, which, by providing an elastic component, pushes the end of the elastic component against the earphone handle, so that the clamping part of the ear hook can contact the first slide groove, thereby preventing the clamping part from loosening with the first slide groove, thereby causing the clamping part to change. In addition, the presence of the elastic component makes the force on the ear hook more uniform, further improving the smoothness of the ear hook when sliding.

[0030] 6. The present application provides an ear-clip earphone, which has a second slide groove. When the ear hook slides along the earphone handle, the end of the elastic component abuts against the second slide groove and moves along the second slide groove. The second slide groove limits the end of the elastic component, thereby reducing the risk of relative rotation or shaking between the ear hook and the earphone handle.

[0031] 7. The present application provides an ear-clip earphone, in which a groove is provided so that the end of the elastic component can follow the sliding of the ear hook and be stuck in the groove, that is, the sliding distance of the ear hook relative to the earphone handle is differentiated by gears, or graded.

[0032] 8. The present application provides an ear-clip earphone, which can keep the ear clip at any rotation angle by adopting a damping shaft. That is to say, the clamping degree of the earphone can be adjusted by adjusting the rotation angle of the ear clip to meet the clamping degree requirements of different users for the earphone.

[0033] 9. The present application provides an ear-clip earphone, which has a torsion spring arranged on a rotating shaft. When the ear clip rotates, the torsion spring is torsionally deformed, so that the ear clip has a tendency to return to its original position, thereby clamping the ear and preventing the earphone from falling off the ear.

[0046] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application or the prior art, the specific embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the drawings in the following description are only some embodiments of the present application. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without creative efforts, other drawings can be obtained according to these drawings, and other embodiments can be obtained.

[0047] For the sake of simplicity of the drawings, only the parts related to the present application are schematically shown in each figure, and they do not represent the actual structure of the product as a whole.

[0048] It should be further understood that the term "and / or" used in the description of the present application and the appended claims refers to any combination and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items, and includes these combinations.

[0049] In this text, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" 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 directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific situations.

[0050] In addition, in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used for distinguishing descriptions and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figures 4 - 7 Referring to

[0052] Specifically, as the engaging portion 7 slides in the first sliding groove 6, the earhook 4 moves relative to the earphone stem 3. The length of the sliding groove limits the sliding distance of the earhook 4 relative to the earphone stem 3. It is easy to understand that through the slidable arrangement between the earhook 4 and the earphone stem 3, the position of the earhook 4 on the earphone stem 3 can be adjusted, so as to realize the adjustment of the effective length of the earphone stem 3, enabling the earphone to adapt to users with different auricle shapes and sizes.

[0053] It should be noted that referring to Figure 8, instead of setting two first sliding grooves 6 on the earphone stem 3, one first sliding groove 6 can be set. The cross-section of the first sliding groove 6 can be trapezoidal, T-shaped, or other shapes, as long as the clamping part 7 on the earhook 4 can be clamped in the first sliding groove 6 and slide along the first sliding groove 6. Obviously, by setting two first sliding grooves 6, there are also two clamping parts between the earhook 4 and the earphone stem 3. Compared with setting only one first sliding groove 6, the force on the earhook 4 is more uniform, that is, the contact points between the earhook 4 and the earphone stem 3 are more dispersed, which can improve the smoothness of the earhook 4 sliding on the earphone stem 3 and reduce the risk of jamming when the earhook 4 slides.

[0054] It is easy to understand that in this embodiment, the first sliding groove 6 is set on the earphone stem 3, and the clamping part 7 is set on the earhook 4. In other embodiments, the setting positions of the first sliding groove 6 and the clamping part 7 can be swapped, that is, the first sliding groove 6 is set on the earhook 4, and the clamping part 7 is set on the earphone stem 3. Obviously, by setting the first sliding groove 6 on the earphone stem 3 and the clamping part 7 on the earhook 4, the clamping part 7 will not press against the ear when wearing the earphone, that is, the clamping part 7 will not act as a protrusion to press against the ear and cause discomfort to the ear, which can improve the wearing experience of the earphone.

[0055] It should be noted that in order to prevent the clamping part 7 from sliding out of the first sliding groove 6, a limiting structure needs to be set at the end of the first sliding groove 6 (the end far from the earphone head 2). Refer to Figure 9 , in one embodiment, the earphone body 1 includes a front cover 14 and a rear cover 15, and the first sliding groove 6 is set on the front cover 14. After the front cover 14 and the rear cover 15 are assembled, the end of the rear cover 15 will block the first sliding groove 6 to prevent the clamping part 7 from sliding out of the first sliding groove 6. In addition, the earphone body 1 adopts a split design of the front cover 14 and the rear cover 15, which is convenient for installing the earhook 4 on the earphone stem 3. For example: first assemble the earhook 4 to the front cover 14, and then assemble the rear cover 15 and the front cover 14 together.

[0056] It can be understood that the shape of the side of the earphone stem 3 close to the earhook 4 can be a columnar shape without edges and corners, or an arc surface, or other shapes with edges and corners, such as a rectangle or a trapezoid. Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figures 4 - 9 , preferably a columnar shape. By setting the side of the earphone stem 3 close to the earhook 4 as a columnar shape, and the corresponding part of the earhook 4 is designed as a groove shape, compared with designing the side of the earphone stem 3 close to the earhook 4 as a shape with edges and corners, the risk of jamming when the earhook 4 slides is smaller, and the smoothness of the earhook 4 sliding is improved. In addition, when wearing the earphone, the earphone stem 3 can better fit the ear, and there will be no situation where the edges and corners squeeze the ear, improving the wearing experience.

[0057] Refer toFigures 3 - 5 In one embodiment, an installation groove 8 is provided at one end of the ear hook 4 close to the earphone handle 3. An elastic component is provided in the installation groove 8. The elastic component includes a spring 9 and a ball 10. The spring 9 is pressed by the ball 10 in the installation groove 8. The ball 10 abuts against the earphone handle 3. The ball 10 can slide in the installation groove 8. The portion of the earphone handle 3 in contact with the ball 10 is located between two first sliding grooves 6. It is easy to understand that by providing the elastic component and making the ball 10 push against the earphone handle 3, the clamping portion 7 of the ear hook 4 can be brought into contact with the first sliding groove 6, which is beneficial to the positioning (fixing) of the ear hook 4 on the earphone handle 3, avoiding looseness between the clamping portion 7 and the first sliding groove 6, and further causing a change in the relative position between the ear hook 4 and the earphone handle 3. In addition, the appearance of the elastic component makes the force on the ear hook 4 more uniform. In other words, the number of contact points between the ear hook 4 and the earphone handle 3 increases, which further improves the smoothness of the ear hook 4 when sliding. In this embodiment, the spring 9 can be replaced by other elastic members, such as: a spring piece.

[0058] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the elastic component includes a spring 9 and a ball 10. Before the ear hook 4 is installed on the earphone handle 3, the spring 9 and the ball 10 need to be placed in place in sequence. During the assembly process, the risk of the ball 10 falling off accidentally is relatively high. In other embodiments, the elastic component can adopt a PIN needle (spring needle) or a component similar to the PIN needle structure, and the PIN needle can be directly inserted into the installation groove 8.

[0059] It should be noted that when the elastic component is not provided, the slidable connection mode between the ear hook 4 and the earphone handle 3 can be realized by the interference fit between the clamping portion 7 and the first sliding groove 6. When the elastic component is provided, it is preferably that there is no interference fit between the clamping portion 7 and the first sliding groove 6, and there is an activity space between the clamping portion 7 and the first sliding groove 6. The elastic component makes the clamping portion 7 hook the first sliding groove 6, which facilitates the sliding of the clamping portion 7 in the first sliding groove 6.

[0060] Reference Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 In one embodiment, a second sliding groove 11 is further provided between the two first sliding grooves 6. The end of the elastic component abuts against the second sliding groove 11. When the elastic component is a spring 9 and a ball 10, the end of the elastic component is the ball 10. When the elastic component is a PIN needle, the end of the elastic component is the needle shaft. By providing the second sliding groove 11, when the ear hook 4 slides along the earphone handle 3, the end of the elastic component abuts against the second sliding groove 11 and moves along the second sliding groove 11. The second sliding groove 11 plays a limiting role on the end of the elastic component, and can reduce the risk of relative rotation or shaking between the ear hook 4 and the earphone handle 3. It can be understood that the second sliding groove 11 can be not provided in other embodiments.

[0061] It should be noted that, in one embodiment, the second chute 11 can be replaced by a plurality of pits 12, and the end of the elastic component is adapted to abut against any one of the pits 12. By providing the pits 12, the end of the elastic component can be stuck in the pits 12 following the sliding of the earhook 4, that is to say, the sliding distance of the earhook 4 relative to the earphone handle 3 is in gear divisions, or in other words, is graded. Refer to Figure 7 , in other embodiments, a plurality of pits 12 can also be provided on the basis of the second chute 11, that is to say, the plurality of pits 12 are arranged in the second chute 11 along the length direction of the second chute 11.

[0062] Refer to Figures 1 - 3 , in one embodiment, the ear clip 5 and the end of the earhook 4 are rotatably connected by a rotating shaft 13, and the rotating shaft 13 is a damping rotating shaft. By adopting the damping rotating shaft, the ear clip 5 can stay at any corner position, that is to say, the clamping degree of the earphone can be adjusted by adjusting the rotation angle of the ear clip 5 to meet the requirements of different users for the clamping degree of the earphone. In other embodiments, the ear clip 5 and the end of the earhook 4 are also rotatably connected by a rotating shaft 13, and a torsion spring (not shown in the figure) is provided on the rotating shaft 13. After the ear clip 5 rotates, the torsion spring generates torsional deformation, so that the ear clip 5 has a reset tendency, thereby clamping the ear and preventing the earphone from falling off the ear.

[0063] Refer to Figure 5 , in one embodiment, the charging position 16 of the earphone is arranged at one end (one side) of the earphone head 2 away from the ear clip 5, so that when the earphone is clipped, the charging position 16 is away from the ear, reducing the risk of the charging position 16 being contaminated by sweat stains, etc., and avoiding the corrosion of the charging position 16.

[0064] It should be noted that the above embodiments can be freely combined as needed. The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present application, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present application.
