Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of audio equipment, and in particular relates to a TWS earphone with hearing protection. Background Art

[0002] Looking at the hearing protection earphones currently on the market, passive noise reduction products are generally bulky and inconvenient to carry around. Wearing them for extended periods can cause discomfort, especially in hot weather. Furthermore, outside noise is largely inaudible, posing a safety hazard in certain industrial environments. This type of noise reduction doesn't adjust or control the volume. Active noise reduction earphones utilize imported, high-performance digital processing chips or specialized chips, combined with external circuitry, to achieve active noise reduction. These products are expensive, have a narrow noise reduction depth, and a limited volume control range. The use of imported or specialized chips can make supply difficult when the supply chain is strained, potentially impacting product launches. Analyzing hearing protection earphones currently on the market, passive noise reduction products, solely focused on noise reduction, are overly specialized and lack practical applicability. To address these issues, we have developed a pair of TWS earphones with integrated hearing protection. Summary of the Invention

[0050] The hearing protection volume adjustment button 11 is used to switch the volume level of the hearing protection;

[0051] The power supply circuit 13 provides appropriate power to each module of the headset to ensure stable operation of the headset.

[0052] In one embodiment, the voice signal converted by the Bluetooth sound input 1 is transmitted to the main control module 3, and then sent to the mobile device connected thereto by the antenna 9 through the internal Bluetooth control 31; the signal received by the antenna 9 is transmitted to the speaker 12 through the main control module 3.

[0053] In one embodiment, the noise signal converted by the hearing protection sound input 2 is transmitted to the hearing protection sound processing 4 , and after the logic control 32 and the hearing protection volume adjustment button 11 and the parameter value of the balance correction circuit 5 are set, the sound is restored by the speaker 12 .

[0059] The main control module U1 is composed of a single-chip large-scale integrated circuit Bluetooth chip; by programming it with software, it first realizes the functional operation of the Bluetooth part of the TWS headset, and then realizes the logical control of the headset hearing protection module, including switching between Bluetooth mode and hearing protection mode, switching the volume gear in hearing protection mode, and the calibration function of the circuit module parameters during the production process.

[0060] What needs further explanation is the touch definition implementation method:

[0061] When the TWS earbuds are playing music, a single tap on the left earbud decreases the volume, and a triple tap plays the previous song. A single tap on the right earbud increases the volume, and a triple tap plays the next song. Each tap is accompanied by a different tone.

[0062] During TWS call operation, double-click either earphone to answer or end the call, and triple-click to reject the call.

[0063] If you touch the left or right ear for more than three seconds, it will switch between protection mode and Bluetooth mode, and a special prompt tone will be used to indicate it.

[0064] If you touch the left or right ear for more than ten seconds, the factory settings will be restored, the pairing information will be cleared, and a special prompt tone will be used.
