It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0018] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more; the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," "front end," "rear end," "head," "tail," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0019] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The retractable and adjustable clip-on earphone of this utility model includes an ear pad 1 with an arc-shaped soft pad 11 and electronic components inside. A first connection port 12 is provided on the ear pad 1 opposite to the arc-shaped soft pad 11. A speaker 2 with a second connection port 21. A channel 3 fixed to the second connection port 21 with a slide rail 31 inside. The inner walls of the slide rail 31 extend inward to form limiting plates 32. A soft rubber tube 4 with one end fixed to the first connection port 12 and the other end extending outward to form a limiting protrusion 41. The soft rubber tube 4 is slidably disposed on the slide rail 31.

[0021] In the above embodiment, the earphone consists of an ear pad 1, a speaker 2, a channel component 3, and a soft rubber tube 4. The earphone is curved overall. When stretched to its limit, the speaker 2 fits against the ear pad 1, embedding itself inside the ear, while the ear pad 1 fits against the back of the ear, forming a clamping effect. The ear pad 1, as the main body of the earphone, is designed with a curved soft pad 11 to fit against the back of the user's ear, providing a comfortable wearing experience. The ear pad 1 integrates electronic components, such as a signal receiving unit and a battery. A first connection port 12 is provided at the position opposite to the curved soft pad 11 on the ear pad 1 for connecting to the soft rubber tube 4.

[0022] The speaker 2 is responsible for converting electrical signals into sound signals. It has a second connection port 21, which serves as an interface for connecting to the channel component 3. The channel component 3 is fixedly mounted on the second connection port 21 of the speaker 2, and has a slide rail 31 inside. The inner walls at both ends of the slide rail 31 extend inward to form limiting plates 32. These limiting plates 32 are used to limit the sliding range of the flexible tubing 4 within the slide rail 31, ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0023] The flexible rubber tube 4 serves as a flexible component connecting the ear pad 1 and the speaker 2, with one end fixedly connected to the first connection port 12 of the ear pad 1. The other end of the flexible rubber tube 4 extends outward to form a limiting protrusion 41, which allows the flexible rubber tube 4 to abut against the limiting plate 32, preventing the flexible rubber tube 4 from sliding out of the slide rail 31. By adjusting the position of the flexible rubber tube 4 in the slide rail 31, due to its material properties, there is always micro-friction between the flexible rubber tube 4 and the inside of the slide rail 31. Users can adjust the extension and retraction of the headphones through this micro-friction between the flexible rubber tube 4 and the slide rail 31 to accommodate different users' ear sizes and wearing needs.

[0024] In summary, this retractable and adjustable clip-on headphone achieves comfortable wearing and flexible adjustment through its structural design, providing users with a high-quality listening experience.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In another embodiment, the horn 2 is spherical in shape, and the curvature of its surface matches that of the curved soft pad 11. When the soft rubber tube 4 is stretched to its limit within the slide 31, the horn 2 fits against the curved soft pad 11.

[0026] In the above embodiment, the speaker 2 is designed in a spherical shape, and its surface curvature matches the curved soft pad 11 of the earpiece 1 to ensure a snug fit during wear. When the soft tubing 4 is stretched to its limit position along the slide 31 of the channel 3, the curved surface of the spherical speaker 2 comes into contact with and fits the curved soft pad 11, forming a stable and comfortable wearing structure. This design not only ensures the efficiency of sound transmission but also enhances the stability and comfort of the headphones during wear.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In another embodiment, the soft tubing 4 is embedded with a memory steel wire 5.

[0028] In the above embodiment, a memory steel wire 5 is embedded inside the soft rubber tube 4. The memory steel wire 5 gives the soft rubber tube 4 a certain shape memory capability and elastic recovery force. When the soft rubber tube 4 is stretched or bent by external force, the memory steel wire 5 can maintain its original shape, helping the soft rubber tube 4 to return to its initial state. This design makes the soft rubber tube 4 less prone to deformation during long-term use, ensuring the stability and reliability of the headphone's extension and retraction adjustment, while improving the user's wearing experience.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In another embodiment, the first connection port 12 is provided with a positioning hole 121, and a portion of the memory steel wire 5 extends through the end near the pad ear 1, and the portion of the memory steel wire 5 extending through is embedded in the positioning hole 121.

[0030] In the above embodiment, a positioning hole 121 is provided at the first connection port 12 for fixing and positioning the memory wire 5. One end of the memory wire 5 protrudes near the earpiece 1, and the protruding wire extends through the soft rubber tube 4. This protruding portion of the memory wire 5 is then embedded and fixed in the positioning hole 121 of the first connection port 12. Through this design, the memory wire 5 not only provides shape memory and elastic recovery functions within the soft rubber tube 4, but also forms a stable connection with the earpiece 1 through the positioning hole 121. This structural principle ensures the stability and reliability of the connection between the soft rubber tube 4 and the earpiece 1, maintaining the overall structure and performance of the headphones even after repeated stretching and bending, providing users with a durable and comfortable wearing experience.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In another embodiment, a damping layer is provided inside the slide 31.

[0032] In the above embodiment, a damping layer is provided inside the slide rail 31 of the channel component 3. The damping layer increases the coefficient of friction of the surface of the slide rail 31, thereby damping the sliding of the soft rubber tube 4 within the slide rail 31, thus controlling the sliding speed and position of the soft rubber tube 4 and ensuring the stability and accuracy of the headphones during the adjustment process.

[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
