[0038] 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.

[0039] In one embodiment, an earclip-type earphone is described. By setting the earphone plug 3 as a first upper half shell 31 and a first lower half shell 32, and arranging the sound-emitting module 33 inside the first upper half shell 31, the sound-emitting module 33 emits sound to the outside through the sound outlet hole 323 of the first lower half shell 32. As a result, the first upper half shell 31 is not restricted by the space of the concha cavity 51, and thus the volume of the first upper half shell 31 and the sound-emitting module 33 can be increased, thereby improving the sound quality of the earphone and ensuring the comfort of the user when wearing it.

[0040] Specifically, referring to the accompanying drawings of the specification Figures 1 to 5 , an earclip-type earphone includes an earphone holder 1, an elastic connecting member 2, and an earphone plug 3. The earphone holder 1 is arranged at one end in the extending direction of the elastic connecting member 2, and the earphone plug 3 is arranged at the end of the elastic connecting member 2 away from the earphone holder 1. That is, the elastic connecting member 2 is used to connect the earphone holder 1 and the earphone plug 3. Correspondingly, the elastic connecting member 2 can be deformed under the action of an external force to form a clamping ear space for clamping the ear. Correspondingly, the earphone plug 3 includes a first upper half shell 31 and a first lower half shell 32. The first upper half shell 31 covers the first lower half shell 32 to form the earphone plug 3. A sound-emitting module 33 is arranged inside the first upper half shell 31, and a sound outlet hole 323 matching the sound-emitting module 33 is arranged on the first lower half shell 32, so that the sound emitted by the sound-emitting module 33 is transmitted to the external environment through the sound outlet hole 323.

[0041] It can be understood that in the prior art, there is often only one cavity inside the earphone plug, and the sound-emitting module is arranged in this cavity. When wearing, the entire earphone plug is arranged in the concha cavity 51. Therefore, such earphones are often restricted by the space of the concha cavity 51 and it is difficult to enhance the sound quality of the earphone by increasing the volume of the sound-emitting module. In this embodiment, when the user uses this earclip-type earphone, the user first arranges the earphone plug 3 on the front side of the ear, so that the end of the first lower half shell 32 away from the first upper half shell 31 is located in the concha cavity 51, then arranges the earphone holder 1 on the back of the ear 52, and then uses an external force to deform the elastic connecting member 2 to form a suitable clamping ear space, thereby wearing the earclip-type earphone on the ear. Referring to the accompanying drawings of the specification Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the earphone plug 3 is worn on the front side of the user's ear, and the earphone holder 1 is worn on the back side of the ear, that is, the earphone holder 1 is worn on the back of the ear 52. It should be noted that in the accompanying drawings of the specification Figure 3It can be intuitively seen that when the earclip-type earphone is worn on the ear, one end of the first lower half shell 32 away from the first upper half shell 31 is located in the concha cavity 51, the first upper half shell 31 is located outside the concha cavity 51 (the outer side of the ear), the earphone holder 1 is located at the back of the ear 52, and the sound-emitting module 33 is arranged in the first upper half shell 31. The first upper half shell 31 is not restricted by the space of the concha cavity 51, and the volume of the first upper half shell 31 can be increased to facilitate the placement of the large-sized sound-emitting module 33, thereby enhancing the sound quality of the earclip-type earphone. In addition, by placing the sound-emitting module 33 outside the concha cavity 51, the pressure on the concha cavity 51 from the first upper half shell 31 and the sound-emitting module 33 can be reduced, ensuring the comfort of the user when wearing the earclip-type earphone.

[0042] In one embodiment, referring to the accompanying drawings of the specification Figure 2 , the first lower half shell 32 includes a pressing part 322 and a connecting part 321. The connecting part 321 is arranged on the lower end surface of the first upper half shell 31 and is connected to the first upper half shell 31. Among them, a connecting hole 3221 matching the pressing part 322 is arranged on the connecting part 321, and the pressing part 322 is connected to the edge of the connecting hole 3221 to arrange the pressing part 322 on the lower end surface of the connecting part 321, and the pressing part 322 is located at one end of the connecting part 321 away from the elastic connecting piece 2.

[0043] It can be understood that the first lower half shell 32 includes a connecting part 321 and a pressing part 322. When worn, referring to the accompanying drawings of the specification Figure 3 , the pressing part 322 is located in the concha cavity 51, so that one end of the first lower half shell 32 away from the first upper half shell 31 is located in the concha cavity 51, the connecting part 321 is in contact with the ear, the first upper half shell 31 is arranged outside the concha cavity 51, and thus the sound-emitting module 33 is also located outside the concha cavity 51, and the earphone holder 1 is located at the back of the ear 52. Correspondingly, the sound outlet hole 323 is opened at one end of the pressing part 322 away from the elastic connecting piece 2. In this way, by arranging the sound-emitting module 33 in the first upper half shell 31, while increasing the sound-emitting module 33, the volume of the pressing part 322 will not be increased, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the sound quality of the earphone and ensuring the comfort of wearing the earphone.

[0044] Preferably, the pressing part 322 is arranged in a hemispherical shape, which can reduce the discomfort of the user when wearing the earphone. The connecting part 321 appropriately increases the contact area with the user's ear, which can reduce the pressure on the ear from the earphone plug 3. The sound emitted by the sound-emitting module 33 located in the first upper half shell 31 is transmitted to the concha cavity 51 through the sound outlet hole 323.

[0045] Furthermore, the earclip-type earphone further includes a cavity bracket 34 adapted to cooperate with the extrusion part 322. The cavity bracket 23 is disposed within the extrusion part 322. A sound collection cavity channel 341 is provided within the cavity bracket 34. Both ends of the sound collection cavity channel 341 are respectively opened on the side walls of the cavity bracket 34. One opening 342 of the sound collection cavity channel 341 is disposed relative to the sound generating module 33, and the other opening 342 is disposed relative to the sound outlet hole 323, such that the sound generated by the sound generating module 33 is transmitted to the external environment through the sound outlet hole 323 after being concentrated by the sound collection cavity channel 341.

[0046] In this way, placing the sound generating module 33 within the first upper half shell 31 can increase the volume of the sound generating module 33. The sound emitted by the sound generating module 33 can pass through the cavity bracket 23, pass through the extrusion part 322, and then be transmitted to the external environment through the sound outlet hole 323. Moreover, the provision of the sound collection cavity channel 341 of the cavity bracket 23 can concentrate the sound emitted by the sound generating module 33, ensuring the sound quality and volume of the earphone.

[0047] Preferably, the inner wall of the sound collection cavity channel 341 is arranged in a smooth manner.

[0048] In one embodiment, this embodiment further describes the earphone plug 3. Among them, referring to the accompanying drawings of the specification Figure 2 , a support member 312 is provided within the first upper half shell 31. A stepped portion is provided on the support member 312, and a stepped portion is provided on the side wall of the first upper half shell 31 at the end away from the elastic connecting member 2. When the sound generating module 33 is disposed within the earphone plug 3, one end of the sound generating module 33 abuts against the stepped portion, and the other end of the sound generating module 33 abuts against the connecting portion 321.

[0049] It can be understood that by providing a stepped portion within the first upper half shell 31, the sound generating module 33 can be firmly fixed within the earphone plug 3 through mutual contact and extrusion cooperation with the stepped portion and the connecting portion 321, improving the quality of the earclip-type earphone and ensuring the stability and reliability of the earphone's operation.

[0050] In one embodiment, referring to the accompanying drawings of the specification Figure 1 , this embodiment further describes the earclip-type earphone. A sound leakage hole 311 is provided on the upper end surface of the first upper half shell 31. The provision of the sound leakage hole 311 enables air to flow freely within the earphone plug 3, preventing pressure from accumulating within the earphone plug 3, and thus ensuring the sound quality.

[0051] Furthermore, mounting holes are provided on both the earphone plug 3 and the earphone holder 1, such that the ends of the elastic connecting member 2 respectively extend into the interiors of the earphone plug 3 and the earphone holder 1 through the mounting holes. Preferably, referring to the accompanying drawings of the specification Figure 2, a protruding portion 21 is further provided at the end of the elastic connecting member 2. The protruding portion 21 is adapted to be in limiting cooperation with the mounting hole, that is, the outer diameter of the protruding portion 21 is set to be larger than the inner diameter of the mounting hole to prevent the elastic connecting member 2 from separating from the earphone plug 3 and the earphone holder 1, thereby enhancing the strength of the earphone.

[0052] Furthermore, the earphone holder 1 includes a second upper half shell 11 and a second lower half shell 12 connected to the second upper half shell 11. A first limiting member is provided on one side of the second lower half shell 12 close to the second upper half shell 11. Correspondingly, a second limiting member is provided on the second upper half shell 11. The second upper half shell 11 is mounted on the second lower half shell 12 through the cooperation of the second limiting member and the first limiting member.

[0053] Both the first limiting member and the second limiting member can be set as stepped portions. The two stepped portions can be connected and fixed to the second upper half shell 11 and the second lower half shell 12 through interference fit or bonding. The first limiting member can also be set as an extension portion provided along the circumferential direction of the second lower half shell 12, and the second limiting member is set as an inner groove. The second upper half shell 11 and the second lower half shell 12 are connected and fixed through the clamping cooperation of the extension portion and the inner groove. Of course, in actual production applications, there are various ways to connect and fix the second upper half shell 11 and the second lower half shell 12, which will not be described one by one here and are all within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0054] In one embodiment, referring to the accompanying drawings of the specification Figure 2 , a clip-on earphone further includes a battery 13 and a circuit board disposed in the earphone holder 1. The battery 13 is electrically connected to the circuit board. A cable channel is provided in the elastic connecting member 2, so that the circuit board is electrically connected to the sound generating module 33 through a cable passing through the cable channel.

[0055] Further, two charging ports 324 are provided on the pressing portion 322, and charging PIN pins 325 are respectively embedded in the two charging ports 324 to charge the battery 13 located in the earphone holder 1 through the charging PIN pins 325. In this way, compared with placing the circuit board and the battery 13 in the earphone plug 3, placing the circuit board and the battery 13 in the earphone holder 1 can reduce the pressure of the earphone plug 3 on the user's ear, improve the wearing comfort, and can increase the volume of the sound generating module 33 in the earphone plug 3 as much as possible to improve the sound quality.

[0056] In addition, the material of the elastic connecting member 2 is a silicone resin material. Correspondingly, the earphone holder 1 and the earphone plug 3 can be made of soft silicone or soft rubber materials.

[0057] It should be noted that the above embodiments can be freely combined as needed. The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention.
