[0024] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention or the technical solutions in the prior art, the specific implementation methods of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings and other implementation methods can be obtained based on these drawings without inventive work.

[0025] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the ear-hook Bluetooth headset includes a speaker compartment 1, a battery compartment 2 and a soft rubber strip 3 connected between the speaker compartment 1 and the battery compartment 2. The soft rubber strip 3 adopts a flexible structure, so that the headset has a storage state and a wearing state. In the storage state, the speaker compartment 1 and the battery compartment 2 fit tightly together, making the headset more compact and easy to carry. In the wearing state, the speaker compartment 1 is separated from the battery compartment 2, and the soft rubber strip 3 can go from the front of the ear, around the upper side of the ear and extend along the auricle to the back of the ear, while the speaker compartment 1 extends to the entrance of the ear canal, and the battery compartment 2 is located at the back of the ear and stops at the auricle behind the ear, so that the headset can be well fixed on the ear.

[0026] The speaker chamber 1 is used to input sound into the user's ear canal. The speaker chamber 1 has a structure that adapts to the shape of the human auricle, for example, a circular ring shape, an elliptical shape, a runway shape, a polygon (regular or irregular), a U-shape, a V-shape, a semicircular shape, and other regular or irregular shapes, so that it can be directly hung on the user's auricle.

[0027] Speaker compartment 1 houses a speaker that converts electrical signals into corresponding mechanical vibrations to produce sound. For sound quality, a large speaker is desirable. Optionally, the speaker's cross-section can be circular with a diameter of 10mm-18mm, or non-circular, including but not limited to rectangular, racetrack-shaped, or elliptical.

[0028] A sound outlet 11 is provided on the side of the speaker chamber 1 facing the auricle. The sound outlet 11 is coupled to the diaphragm of the speaker through the acoustic cavity, and the sound emitted by the vibration of the speaker diaphragm transmits the sound signal to the outside through the acoustic cavity and the sound outlet 11. At the same time, since the sound outlet 11 is close to the ear canal, the reflected sound effect of the concha cavity can be used to form a loudspeaker effect, making the sound effect better and improving the user experience. In addition, one or more sound leakage holes 12 are provided on the other side of the speaker chamber 1 (for example, the side away from or away from the user's ear canal). The sound leakage hole 12 is farther away from the ear canal than the sound outlet 11. The sound propagated through the sound leakage hole 12 can form sound leakage in the far field, which is beneficial to reduce the sound leakage of the earphone in the far field, thereby improving the sound quality effect. In addition, a waterproof and breathable membrane can be provided at the sound leakage hole 12 to make the sound leakage hole 12 have a better waterproof effect.

[0029] A microphone for calls can also be provided within the speaker compartment 1. Sound pickup holes 13 are also provided on other sides of the speaker compartment 1. These holes allow the microphone to better collect external sounds, enhancing the headset's interactivity and user experience. This embodiment does not limit the location of the sound pickup holes 13. Preferably, the sound pickup holes 13 are positioned opposite the sound outlet holes 11 to optimally capture external sounds.

[0030] The battery compartment 2 is provided with a battery, and the battery, speaker, and microphone are electrically connected to the mainboard, and the battery can power the above components. The mainboard can be installed in the speaker compartment 1 or the battery compartment 2, without limitation.

[0031] The speaker compartment 1 is also provided with a charging pin 14 electrically connected to the motherboard. The charging pin 14 is used to charge the battery. The charging pin 14 and the sound outlet 11 are located on the same side of the speaker compartment 1. When worn, the charging pin 14 is located in the ear canal and is not in direct contact with the human body or the external environment. This can reduce corrosion of the charging pin 14 by sweat or rain, ensuring the durability of the earphones. It is understood that the charging pin 14 can also be set in the battery compartment 2. When the earphones are stored, the charging pin 14 can be electrically connected to the charging compartment to charge the battery.

[0032] The soft rubber strip 3 allows the earphones to switch between a stowed state and a worn state. The soft rubber strip 3 is a flexible, extendable structure that allows the earphones to deform and expand. When worn, the soft rubber strip 3 can have an arc-shaped structure that conforms to the user's auricle, allowing it to be suspended from the user's auricle. For example, the deformed and expanded soft rubber strip 3 can have an arc-shaped structure that conforms to the intersection of the user's head and ear, allowing the soft rubber strip 3 to be suspended between the user's auricle and head.

[0033] The soft rubber strip 3 includes a first section 31 and a second section 32 that are connected to each other. The first section 31 connects the speaker chamber 1 and the second section 32. The first section 31 bends and extends outward from one side of the speaker chamber 1 and can be hung between the back of the user's ear and the head. Since the speaker chamber 1 can contact the front of the user's ear, the user's ear can be clamped by the mutual cooperation between the speaker chamber 1 and the first section 31. In this embodiment, the first section 31 of the soft rubber strip 3 can adopt a hard structure to ensure that the earphones can be firmly hung on the ears. Part or all of the second section 32 is a flexible structure that can be stretched and retracted. For example, the material can be a rubber material with certain plasticity and elastic properties. The second section 32 of the soft rubber strip 3 in this embodiment can extend from the head to the outside of the head. The mutual cooperation between the second section 32 and the first section 31 can provide the speaker chamber 1 with a pressing force on the front of the user's ear, ensuring wearing comfort and stability.

[0034] To ensure the structural stability of the soft rubber strip 3 and the battery compartment 2 and prevent the soft rubber strip 3 from becoming detached from the battery compartment 2, the second section 32 of the soft rubber strip 3 in this embodiment can be wrapped around the battery compartment 2. For example, a receiving groove 25 is defined on the outer side of the battery compartment 2, and a portion of the second section 32 is disposed within the receiving groove 25. Methods for connecting the second section 32 to the soft rubber strip 3 include, but are not limited to, fixed by spot glue or double-sided tape.

[0035] The direction of the receiving groove 25 is not limited in this embodiment. For example, Figure 3As shown, the battery compartment 2 has a first side 21, a second side 22, a third side 23, and a fourth side 24. The first side 21 and the third side 23 are arranged opposite each other. One side of the first side 21 and the third side 23 transitions to a circular arc through the second side 22, and the other side of the first side 21 and the third side 23 transitions to a circular arc through the fourth side 24. The first side 21, the second side 22, and the third side 23 are each provided with a strip groove. The strip grooves of the first side 21, the second side 22, and the third side 23 are sequentially connected to form a storage groove 25. When the earphones are in the wearing state, the soft rubber strip 3 contacts and connects with the strip groove on the first side 21. Since the soft rubber strip 3 has a large contact area with the battery compartment 2, the structure is highly stable. When the earphones are in the storage state, the soft rubber strip 3 contacts and connects with the entire storage groove 25. Since most of the soft rubber strip 3 is accommodated in the storage groove 25, the earphones are more compact and easy to carry. Furthermore, the width of the strip groove on the first side 21 is greater than that on the third side 23, while the width of the strip groove on the second side 22 gradually decreases from its connection with the first side 21. As a result, the groove width on the first side 21 is the largest, and the portion where the soft rubber strip 3 mates with it is wider, resulting in a larger contact area between the soft rubber strip 3 and the battery compartment 2, ensuring the structural stability of the soft rubber strip 3 and the speaker compartment 1. Furthermore, the groove width on the third side 23 is the smallest, and the portion where the soft rubber strip 3 mates with it is smaller, ensuring wearing comfort.

[0036] A memory metal sheet or spring strip can also be incorporated into the soft rubber strip 3. Users can configure the corresponding structure within the soft rubber strip 3 based on bending requirements. For example, a memory metal sheet is incorporated into the soft rubber strip 3. The elastic deformation of the memory metal sheet allows the earphones to better fit the auricle. The memory metal sheet needs to exhibit a shape memory effect and can be made from any one or more materials, including carbon spring steel, low-manganese spring steel, silicon-manganese spring steel, stainless steel, elastic copper alloy, nickel-titanium alloy, gold-cadmium alloy, and indium-thallium alloy. Users can select materials to create the memory metal sheet based on their desired deformation characteristics, and this is not a limitation.

[0037] In this embodiment, the speaker compartment 1 and the battery compartment 2 can be fitted together by bending the soft rubber strip 3. In order to prevent the speaker compartment 1 and the battery compartment 2 from being disengaged, the speaker compartment 1 and the battery compartment 2 can be connected by magnetic adsorption. When the attraction effect is not reduced, the speaker compartment 1 and the battery compartment 2 can be repeatedly attracted and disengaged, and have a longer service life. Exemplarily, a first magnetic component is accommodated in the speaker compartment 1, and a second magnetic component is provided in the battery compartment 2. A magnetic attraction force can be generated between the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component, thereby fixing the speaker compartment 1 and the battery compartment 2 together. The first magnetic component and the speaker compartment 1, and the second magnetic component and the battery compartment 2 can be fixed by glue spotting, double-sided tape, snap-fitting, screwing, etc., which are not limited here.

[0038] The first magnetic member and the second magnetic member can both be magnets, and the polarities of the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member are opposite, so they can attract each other. For example, the polarity of the first magnetic member is the north pole and the polarity of the second magnetic member is the south pole, or the polarity of the first magnetic member is the south pole and the polarity of the second magnetic member is the north pole, thereby utilizing the principle of opposite polarities attracting each other to fix the speaker compartment 1 and the battery compartment 2 together. It is understood that in some other embodiments, only one of the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member may be provided with a magnet, and the other may be formed of a material that can be attracted by a magnet, such as one or more of iron, cobalt, and nickel.

[0039] This embodiment does not limit the specific installation positions of the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member. It is understood that different installation positions of the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member can enable the earphones to have different storage postures. In one embodiment, the second magnetic member is close to the first side surface 21 and extends along the length direction of the first side surface 21. Figure 4 As shown, when the earphones are in the storage state, the battery compartment 2 and the speaker compartment 1 are stacked together in the height direction of the battery compartment 2. In another embodiment, the battery compartment 2 further has an upper side surface 26 and a lower side surface 27, which are arranged parallel to each other, and the second magnetic member is close to the upper side surface 26 and extends along the length direction of the upper side surface 26. Figure 5 As shown, when the earphones are in the stored state, the battery compartment 2 and the speaker compartment 1 are stacked together in the thickness direction of the battery compartment 2. In this way, through the folding mechanism, the speaker compartment can be stacked on the battery compartment, allowing the earphones to be compactly stored when not in use, greatly reducing the volume and making it easier to carry and store.

[0040] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the height direction of the battery compartment 2 is from the first side surface 21 to the third side surface 23 , and the thickness direction of the battery compartment 2 is from the upper side surface 26 to the lower side surface 27 .

[0041] It should be noted that the above embodiments can be freely combined as needed. The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and such improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
