[0001] The present application relates to the field of earphone technology, and in particular to a wireless earphone. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the wireless headphone market, the comfort and stability of headphone products have gradually become a key concern for consumers. The design of the ear hook structure directly affects the user experience. Currently, most wireless headphones on the market use a fixed ear hook design, which cannot be adjusted to suit the individual differences in the user's ear pinna. This non-adjustable design often makes the headphones unstable or uncomfortable when worn. Especially during strenuous exercise or long-term use, the headphones are prone to falling off or causing ear discomfort, which in turn affects the user experience.

[0003] Existing earphones still face numerous challenges in maintaining stable fit. First, many earhook materials lack sufficient flexibility, making it difficult for users to achieve a good fit between the ear and the auricle. Furthermore, some earphones with fixed earhook designs lack the ability to adjust the angle to suit different ear shapes, resulting in many users experiencing a lack of fit and the earphones being prone to slipping or falling off during use. Therefore, improvements addressing these issues are necessary to address the current situation. Utility Model Content

[0031] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] With the rapid development of the wireless headphone market, the comfort and stability of headphone products have gradually become a key concern for consumers. The design of the ear hook structure directly affects the user experience. Currently, most wireless headphones on the market use a fixed ear hook design, which cannot be adjusted to suit the individual differences in the user's ear pinna. This non-adjustable design often makes the headphones unstable or uncomfortable when worn. Especially during strenuous exercise or long-term use, the headphones are prone to falling off or causing ear discomfort, which in turn affects the user experience.

[0033] Existing earphones still face numerous challenges in maintaining stable fit. First, many earhook materials lack sufficient flexibility, making it difficult for users to achieve a good fit between the ear and the auricle. Furthermore, some earphones with fixed earhook designs lack the ability to adjust the angle to suit different ear shapes, resulting in many users experiencing a lack of fit and the earphones being prone to slipping or falling off during use. Therefore, improvements addressing these issues are necessary to address the current situation.

[0034] Based on this, see Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a wireless headset 10, which includes an earphone module 100 and an earhook structure 200; the earhook structure 200 is connected to the earphone module 100, and the earhook structure 200 is used to be hooked on the outside of the auricle; the earhook structure 200 includes an adjustment section 210 and a connecting section 220, the connecting section 220 is respectively connected to the earphone module 100 and the adjustment section 210, the adjustment section 210 is bendable relative to the earphone module 100, and the connecting section 220 is at least partially a flexible structure and abuts the outside of the auricle.

[0035] In this embodiment of the wireless headset 10, the earphone module 100 is configured to cooperate with the ear hook structure 200. The bendable adjustment section 210 provided in the ear hook structure 200 allows the user to freely adjust the angle of the ear hook according to the individual differences in their ear pinna, thereby achieving an optimal fit. This hooking method applied to the outside of the user's ear pinna significantly reduces the risk of the earphones slipping during wear, improves wearing stability, and effectively maintains the earphones in place even during strenuous exercise, reducing the possibility of them falling.

[0036] Secondly, the flexible structure of the connecting section 220 allows for better contact with the outer side of the auricle. By using a flexible material that conforms to the shape of the human ear, the connecting section 220 can adapt to the curvature of the auricle, increasing the contact area between the earphone and the user's ear, thereby improving wearing comfort.

[0037] This arrangement not only effectively prevents the wireless headset 10 from sliding, but also maintains the stability of the wireless headset 10, especially during strenuous exercise, thereby reducing the risk of falling. When wearing the wireless headset 10, the user can adjust the adaptability of the wireless headset 10 through simple adjustment operations. Specifically, the adjustment section 210 can use memory wire or plastic material so that it can maintain its shape after adjustment, while the connecting section 220 can use rebound steel wire or plastic material, etc., to ensure that the wireless headset 10 can still maintain good elasticity in various environments so that the ear-hanging structure 200 can be worn stably.

[0038] Specifically, the earphone module 100 includes an earphone shell 110 and a circuit assembly. The circuit assembly is housed in the earphone shell 110. The connecting section 220 is connected to the earphone shell 110. The circuit assembly includes a circuit board 121 and a battery 122 and a speaker 123 electrically connected to the circuit board 121. The battery 122 and the speaker 123 are arranged side by side, and the circuit board 121 is arranged side by side on the outside of the battery 122 and the speaker 123.

[0039] In this embodiment, by placing the battery 122 and speaker 123 side by side, the internal structure of the earphone module 100 can be made more compact, improving wearing comfort. Furthermore, the circuit board 121 is placed outside the battery 122 and speaker 123. This rational layout also improves the heat dissipation of the circuit components.

[0040] In one embodiment, the circuit assembly further includes a circuit contact 124 . A mounting hole 111 is defined on one side of the earphone housing 110 . The circuit contact 124 is received in the mounting hole 111 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 121 .

[0041] By providing a mounting hole 111 on one side of the earphone housing 110 and accommodating the circuit contact 124 therein, the earphones' compactness and overall aesthetics can be effectively improved. This design not only reliably secures the circuit contact 124, ensuring its stability and durability during use, but also avoids poor connections caused by external shock or vibration. Furthermore, the electrical connection between the circuit contact 124 and the circuit board 121 ensures stable and efficient signal transmission. This layout also simplifies the assembly process, reduces production costs, and improves production efficiency.

[0042] Furthermore, the earphone module 100 further includes a magnetic member 130, which is embedded in the earphone housing 110 and located on a side of the earphone module 100 facing the inner side of the auricle.

[0043] In this embodiment, by embedding the magnetic element 130 within the earphone housing 110 and placing it on the earphone module 100 toward the inner side of the auricle, this design not only enhances the overall structural stability of the earphones, but also effectively improves the comfort and fit of the earphones during wearing. In addition, the magnetic element 130 is located below the battery 122. This layout greatly simplifies the charging process. When the wireless earphones 10 need to be charged, the magnetic element 130 of the wireless earphones 10 only needs to be directed toward the magnetic charger. At this time, the magnetic element 130 can be magnetically connected to the magnetic charger and the circuit contact 124 can be connected to the charger's circuit, making charging of the earphones more convenient and improving the user experience.

[0044] In one embodiment, the earphone housing 110 is provided with a sound outlet 1131, and the speaker 123 is arranged on the inner side of the sound outlet 1131. The circuit component further includes a microphone 125, which is arranged on the inner side of the sound outlet 1131, and the sound outlet 1131 is correspondingly arranged at the sound receiving end of the microphone 125.

[0045] In this embodiment, the earphone housing 110 is designed with a sound outlet 1131, so that the speaker 123 and the microphone 125 are cleverly arranged in the same position to form a shared sound cavity structure. This design not only effectively reduces the independent air vents required for the microphone 125, thereby reducing the production cost of the mold, but also optimizes the overall structure of the earphone and improves manufacturing efficiency. In addition, the microphone 125 can be placed in the front cavity of the earphone housing 110 and connected to the circuit board 121 through a flexible circuit board, ensuring the stability and reliability of signal transmission. Due to the reasonable layout of the sound outlet 1131, the wireless earphone 10 will not have a negative impact on the sound reception performance of the microphone 125 when playing audio, which ensures the clarity of the sound quality when the user is talking or recording. At the same time, this design also improves the waterproof performance of the wireless earphone 10, protects the internal electronic components, and enhances the durability of the wireless earphone 10 in daily use.

[0046] Furthermore, the circuit assembly also includes a sensing portion 126, which is electrically connected to the circuit board 121. The sensing portion 126 is attached to the inner wall of the earphone housing 110 and is located on a side of the speaker 123 away from the ear hook structure 200. The sensing portion 126 is used to obtain signals from the inner side of the auricle.

[0047] In this embodiment, by providing a sensing portion 126 on the inner wall of the earphone housing 110, intelligent detection of the wearing status of the wireless earphone 10 can be achieved. The sensing portion 126 is located on the side of the speaker 123 away from the ear hook structure 200, and can effectively obtain signals from the inner side of the auricle, thereby accurately determining whether the wireless earphone 10 is being worn. This design not only provides a user-friendly operating experience, but also automatically pauses audio playback when the wireless earphone 10 is taken off, avoiding unnecessary battery 122 consumption and damage to the speaker 123, thereby extending the service life of the wireless earphone 10. In addition, the automatic sensing function of the sensing portion 126 enhances the interactivity of the wireless earphone 10, making the user experience more intelligent and convenient. By connecting the sensing portion 126 to the circuit board 121, the overall response speed of the wireless earphone 10 is optimized, and it can quickly receive and process relevant signals, thereby improving the agility and reliability of the wireless earphone 10.

[0048] Specifically, the sensing unit 126 can sense the wearing signal in various ways. In one embodiment, the sensing unit 126 can utilize infrared light sensing technology. By emitting and receiving infrared light beams, the sensing unit 126 can determine the presence of objects around the wireless headset 10, thereby determining whether the wireless headset 10 is being worn. In one embodiment, the sensing unit 126 can also integrate a capacitive sensor that can sense changes in contact between the skin and the wireless headset 10, thereby detecting the wearing status. In one embodiment, the sensing unit 126 can utilize a pressure sensor to determine whether the wireless headset 10 is securely and firmly worn on the ear by sensing changes in pressure at the contact point between the wireless headset 10 and the ear.

[0049] Furthermore, the sensing portion 126 is at least partially attached to the curved surface of the earphone housing 110 .

[0050] In this embodiment, by positioning the sensing portion 126 along the curved surface of the earphone housing 110, the earphones' ability to detect the wearing state is enhanced. Since ears vary in shape and curvature, this design of the sensing portion 126 allows it to better conform to the auricle, expanding the sensing area and improving sensing accuracy, thereby more accurately capturing changes in the relative position of the ear and earphone.

[0051] In one embodiment, the earphone shell 110 includes a flexible rubber coating 112 and an earphone inner shell 113, the circuit component is arranged inside the earphone inner shell 113, the flexible rubber coating 112 is covered on the outside of the earphone inner shell 113, or the flexible rubber coating 112 is covered on the outside of the earphone inner shell 113 and the ear hook structure 200.

[0052] In this embodiment, by adopting a combination design of a flexible rubber coating 112 and an earphone inner shell 113 in the earphone housing 110, this embodiment significantly enhances the comfort and durability of the earphone. The application of the flexible rubber coating 112 not only provides users with a better wearing experience and avoids the discomfort that may be caused by traditional hard-shell earphones, but also effectively reduces the risk of damage caused by external impact or falling, thereby improving the overall durability of the earphones. In addition, the flexible rubber coating 112's covering design of the earphone inner shell 113 and the ear-hanging structure 200 can effectively reduce the vibration and noise interference of the earphones during use, improve the sound quality performance, and better meet the user's demand for high-fidelity audio. Combined with the characteristics of the flexible material, the earphones can better fit the ear shape when in contact with the user's ears, thereby improving the wearing stability and reducing the possibility of the earphones sliding or falling during wearing, thereby improving the practicality and safety of the earphones.

[0053] Furthermore, by providing a flexible rubber coating 112 and earphone inner shell 113, the waterproof performance of the wireless earphones 10 can be improved, effectively blocking water penetration, thereby protecting the internal circuit components from moisture damage and extending the service life of the earphones. Furthermore, the implementation of the waterproof function enables smooth use of the earphones in a variety of scenarios. For example, in rainy days, outdoor sports, or high-humidity environments, users do not need to worry about device damage caused by sweat or rain, which enhances the sense of security and convenience of wearing. This design can also attract more specific user groups, such as fitness enthusiasts and outdoor athletes, who meet their high requirements for earphone waterproofness and durability.

[0054] Specifically, the flexible rubber package 112 is provided with a button portion 1121, the earphone inner shell 113 is provided with a pressing portion 1132, the button portion 1121 is located on the outside of the pressing portion 1132, a trigger button is provided on the circuit board 121, and the pressing portion 1132 is arranged corresponding to the trigger button.

[0055] In this embodiment, the button part 1121 is made of a whole soft rubber material, which not only improves the touch of the button, allowing the user to feel more comfortable feedback during operation, but also effectively reduces the noise of the button. In addition, the soft and hard combination formed by it and the pressing part 1132 of the earphone inner shell 113 makes the button response more sensitive through the deformation effect when pressed, which significantly improves the operation efficiency and user experience of the earphone. At the same time, the waterproof design of the entire button structure can effectively block the intrusion of rain and sweat, ensuring the safety of the electronic components inside the earphone, thereby further extending the service life of the product. The implementation of this structure not only solves the problem of insensitive operation or damage that traditional earphones are prone to in humid environments, but also meets the user's high reliability requirements for earphones in a variety of usage scenarios.

[0056] In one embodiment, the ear hanging structure 200 further includes a middle section 230 , which is connected to the adjustment section 210 and the connection section 220 .

[0057] In this embodiment, the addition of the intermediate section 230 between the adjustment section 210 and the connecting section 220 not only enhances the modular design of the overall ear hook structure 200, facilitating subsequent assembly and maintenance, but also significantly enhances the strength and stability of the connections between the various components. This arrangement allows for a tighter fit between the adjustment section 210, connecting section 220, and intermediate section 230, effectively reducing the risk of loosening or deformation due to long-term use or external impact. The modular design not only simplifies the production process and reduces assembly difficulty, but also helps improve production efficiency.
