[0029] Hereinafter, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the described embodiments may be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the drawings and description are to be regarded as illustrative in nature and not restrictive.

[0030] Example 1:

[0031] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a connection structure, including a first clamping member 1 and a first connecting member 2. The first clamping member 1 is provided with a first hinge portion 11, and the first connecting member 2 is provided with a second hinge portion 21. The first hinge portion 11 and the second hinge portion 21 are hingedly connected, and the first connecting member 2 is used to connect to the second clamping member of the clip-on earring.

[0032] Since the first clamping member 1 is provided with a first hinged portion 11 and the first connecting member 2 is provided with a second hinged portion 21, the first hinged portion 11 and the second hinged portion 21 are hingedly connected, and the first connecting member 2 is used to connect to the second clamping member of the ear clip-type earring, the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member are hingedly connected via the first connecting member 2. Since the first connecting member 2 and the second clamping member are separate structures, no hinged component is required when manufacturing the second clamping member, thereby reducing the manufacturing difficulty and cost of the second clamping member.

[0033] In one embodiment, to achieve the articulated connection between the first hinge portion 11 and the second hinge portion 21, the first hinge portion 11 includes two opposing hinge seats 111, and the second hinge portion 21 includes a hinge protrusion 211. The hinge protrusion 211 is located between the two hinge seats 111 and is hingedly connected to the two hinge seats 111. Due to the hinged connection between the hinge protrusion 211 and the two hinge seats 111, the first clamping member 1 and the first connecting member 2 can rotate relative to each other. Preferably, the hinge seat 111 has a hemispherical structure.

[0034] In another embodiment, in order to realize the hinge connection between the first hinge part 11 and the second hinge part 21, the first hinge part 11 includes a hinge protrusion 211, and the second hinge part 21 includes two oppositely arranged hinge seats 111. The hinge protrusion 211 is located between the two hinge seats 111, and the hinge protrusion 211 is hinged to the two hinge seats 111, so that the first clamping member 1 and the first connecting member 2 can rotate relative to each other.

[0035] In one embodiment, the connection structure further includes at least two elastic metal sheets 3, which are respectively located on opposite sides of the hinge protrusion 211 and between the hinge seat 111 and the hinge protrusion 211. Preferably, the elastic metal sheets 3 can be made of elastic stainless steel or the like.

[0036] In another embodiment, the number of the elastic metal sheets 3 may be four, with two elastic metal sheets 3 being disposed between each side of the hinge protrusion 211 and the hinge seat 111 .

[0037] In order to achieve the hinge connection between the hinge seat 111 and the hinge protrusion 211, the connection structure further includes a hinge shaft 4. The hinge seat 111, the hinge protrusion 211, and the elastic metal sheet 3 are all provided with hinge holes 5. The hinge shaft 4 passes through the hinge holes 5 of the hinge seat 111, the hinge protrusion 211, and the elastic metal sheet 3. The hinge seat 111, the hinge protrusion 211, and the elastic metal sheet 3 are hingedly connected via the hinge shaft 4. Specifically, after the two hinge seats 111, the hinge protrusion 211, and the elastic metal sheet 3 are hinged via the hinge shaft 4, the hinge seat 111, the hinge protrusion 211, and the elastic metal sheet 3 are fastened together by chiseling.

[0038] In one embodiment, the side of the hinge seat 111 proximal to the elastic metal sheet 3 is a first side 1110, which gradually recesses toward the center of the hinge seat 111 from the edge of the first side 1110 to the center of the first side 1110. The side of the elastic metal sheet 3 proximal to the hinge seat 111 is a second side 31, which gradually protrudes away from the center of the elastic metal sheet 3 from the edge of the second side 31 to the center of the second side 31. The side of the hinge protrusion 211 proximal to the elastic metal sheet 3 is a third side 2110, which gradually recesses toward the center of the hinge protrusion 211 from the edge of the third side 2110 to the center of the third side 2110. The thickness of the elastic metal sheet 3 is 0.4-0.5 mm, preferably 0.45 mm. The thickness of the elastic metal sheet 3 should be selected to ensure that its elastic properties are fully utilized and provide sufficient clamping force.

[0039] In one embodiment, the first side surface 1110 and the third side surface 2110 have the same concave curvature, and the second side surface 31 can match the first side surface 1110 .

[0040] Since an elastic metal sheet 3 is provided between the hinge seat 111 and the hinge protrusion 211, when the first clamping member 1 and the first connecting member 2 rotate relative to each other, the elastic metal sheet 3 is bent and deformed toward the hinge protrusion 211. When the rotation stops, the elasticity of the elastic metal sheet 3 causes it to return to its original shape, thereby clamping the hinge seat 111, the hinge protrusion 211 and the elastic metal sheet 3, so that the first clamping member 1 and the first connecting member 2 can remain stationary after the rotation stops.

[0041] Embodiment 2:

[0042] The present embodiment is described in detail below with reference to Example 1:

[0043] An embodiment of the present application discloses an earring accessory, comprising a second clamping member and the connection structure as described in the first embodiment, wherein the second clamping member is connected to the first connection member 2 .

[0044] In order to achieve the connection between the second clamping member and the first connecting member 2, the first connecting member 2 has a first connecting portion 212, and the second clamping member has a second connecting portion, and the first connecting portion 212 matches the second connecting portion.

[0045] Specifically, the first connecting portion 212 is a connecting groove, and the second connecting portion is a connecting protrusion, with the connecting groove and the connecting protrusion matching each other. Preferably, the connecting groove extends through the upper and lower surfaces of the first connecting member 2. When connecting the first connecting member 2 to the second clamping member, the connecting protrusion is first inserted into the connecting groove to secure it, and then the second clamping member and the first connecting member 2 are connected by welding.

[0046] Since a first connecting portion 212 is provided on the first connecting member 2 and a second connecting member is provided on the second clamping member, when the second clamping member is connected to the first connecting member 2, they can first be limited by the first connecting portion 212 and the second connecting portion, and then welded together, which can ensure the accuracy of the connection position of the first connecting member 2 and the second clamping member.

[0047] Since the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member are hingedly connected via the first connecting member 2, and the first clamping member 1 and the first connecting member 2 can remain stationary after stopping rotation, the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member can remain stationary after stopping rotation, so that the earring accessory will not cause earlobe pain due to excessive clamping force after being clamped on the earlobe.

[0048] In order to facilitate the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member to be clamped on the earlobe, an ear-supporting portion 7 is provided at the end of the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member.

[0049] Example 3:

[0050] The following describes this embodiment in detail with reference to Example 1 and Example 2:

[0051] The present embodiment provides a clip-on earring, comprising an ornament and the earring accessory described in Example 2, wherein the ornament is connected to a first clamping member 1, or the ornament is connected to a second clamping member, or the ornament is connected to both the first clamping member 1 and the second clamping member. The ornament can be connected to the first clamping member 1 and / or the second clamping member by welding.

[0052] The first clamping member 1 , the second clamping member and the ornament can be made of materials such as gold, silver, platinum and stainless steel, and gemstones, diamonds and the like can be mounted on the ornament.
