Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of headphone technology, and more particularly to a clip-on headphone. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, headphones have become an indispensable item in people's lives. Among them, clip-on headphones are a type of headphones with a clip-on structure design. They are designed to clip onto the ear rather than be inserted into the ear canal or cover the entire ear, making them suitable for use during sports or activities. Clip-on headphones provide a more secure fit and reduce the possibility of the headphones falling out.

[0003] The design concept of clip-on headphones is to use a flexible support that is adjusted to a suitable position and secured on the ear. This design allows the headphones to be worn without entering the ear, thus avoiding pressure on the ear canal, making them especially suitable for people with sensitive ears. Due to their open design, clip-on headphones allow users to be aware of their surroundings and remain alert, increasing safety. Furthermore, clip-on headphones typically consist of the main body and ear hooks, with the ear hooks used to secure the headphones on the ear. Clip-on headphones provide a comfortable wearing experience and also solve the ear discomfort problems that can occur with traditional in-ear headphones.

[0004] However, in current clip-on headphones, the part of the earphone body with the battery compartment that fits against the ear may not fit snugly. This can cause the earphone body to press against the ear cartilage after wearing clip-on headphones for a long time, resulting in discomfort for the user. Utility Model Content

[0044] As described in the background section, in current clip-on headphones, the part of the earphone body with the battery compartment that fits against the ear may not fit snugly. This can cause the earphone body to press against the ear cartilage after prolonged wear, resulting in discomfort for some people.

[0045] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides an ear-clamping headphone, comprising a first ear-clamping portion, a second ear-clamping portion, and a connector. The first ear-clamping portion houses a battery. The second ear-clamping portion is located to one side of the first ear-clamping portion and houses a speaker. The connector is located between the first and second ear-clamping portions, with both ends connected to the first and second ear-clamping portions respectively. The side of the first ear-clamping portion facing the second ear-clamping portion has a recess that conforms to the back of the ear, and the recess has an arc shape that conforms to the back of the ear. The length of the first ear-clamping portion in a first direction is greater than or equal to its length in a second direction, and the first and second directions are perpendicular. Thus, this application can rationally design the structure of the ear-clamping headphone. By providing a recess on the side of the first ear-clamping portion facing the second ear-clamping portion to conform to the arc of the ear, the first and second ear-clamping portions ensure comfort while providing clamping force. The length of the first clip ear in the first direction is greater than or equal to the length of the first clip ear in the second direction, so that the first clip ear fits the curve of the ear better, distributes the weight evenly, thereby reducing the burden on the ear and improving the comfort and stability of wearing for a long time.

[0046] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0047] This application provides an ear-clamping headphone. The structure of the ear-clamping headphone is rationally designed. By providing a recess on the side of the first ear-clamping part facing the second ear-clamping part to conform to the curvature of the ear, the first and second ear-clamping parts can form a clamping force while ensuring comfort. The length of the first ear-clamping part in the first direction is greater than or equal to the length of the first ear-clamping part in the second direction, allowing the first ear-clamping part to better conform to the ear curve, evenly distribute weight, thereby reducing the burden on the ear and improving comfort and stability during long-term wear. The specific structure of the ear-clamping headphone provided in this application embodiment will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] refer to Figure 1 This application provides an ear-clip earphone 100, which may include a first ear-clip portion 200, a second ear-clip portion 300, and a connector 400. The second ear-clip portion 300 may be located on one side of the first ear-clip portion 200. It is understood that the connector 400 may be located between the first ear-clip portion 200 and the second ear-clip portion 300, and both ends of the connector 400 may be connected to the first ear-clip portion 200 and the second ear-clip portion 300, respectively. One end of the connector 400 is connected to the outer surface of the first ear-clip portion 200, and the other end of the connector 400 is connected to the outer surface of the second ear-clip portion 300, so that the first ear-clip portion 200 and the second ear-clip portion 300 are connected by the connector 400. In one possible implementation, a battery may be housed inside the first ear-clip portion 200, and a speaker may be housed inside the second ear-clip portion 300. Of course, in some other embodiments, a speaker may be provided inside the first clip ear portion 200, and a battery may be provided inside the second clip ear portion 300. This application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0049] Continue to refer to Figure 1 In this specific implementation, taking an example where a battery is housed inside the first ear clip 200 and a speaker is housed inside the second ear clip 300, in one possible implementation, the side of the first ear clip 200 facing the second ear clip 300 has a recess 210. It is understood that the recess 210 can be used to conform to the 500° curvature of the ear; exemplarily, such as... Figure 5As shown, the recess 210 can fit against the back of the ear 510 of the ear 500, and the recess 210 can have an arc that fits against the back of the ear 510, thereby improving the comfort of wearing the ear-clamping headphones 100. In this embodiment, the length of the first ear-clamping part 200 in the first direction can be greater than or equal to the length of the first ear-clamping part 200 in the second direction. In this way, setting the length of the first ear-clamping part 200 in the first direction to be greater than or equal to the length of the first ear-clamping part 200 in the second direction makes the first ear-clamping part 200 more in line with the natural shape of the ear, better fits the ear curve, increases the contact area of ​​the ear-clamping headphones 100 on the ear 500, reduces the possibility of slipping and falling off, and thus improves the stability of the ear-clamping headphones 100.

[0050] It should be noted that, Figure 1 In this context, the x-direction can be a first direction, and the y-direction can be a second direction. The first direction can be perpendicular to the second direction.

[0051] Continue to refer to Figure 1 Based on the above embodiments, in one possible implementation, the recess 210 may be located at the center of the side of the first clamping ear 200 facing the second clamping ear 300, and the recess 210 may be an arc surface. Thus, as... Figure 5 As shown, the arc surface has a certain curvature, which allows the arc surface to fit snugly against the back of the ear 510, better conforming to the shape of the ear. This ensures good comfort for the ear even when wearing the clip-on earphone 100 for extended periods. Of course, in other embodiments, the recess 210 may also be located at other positions on the side of the first clip-on earphone 200 facing the second clip-on earphone 300, and the recess 210 may also have other shapes, as long as the recess 210 matches the shape of the ear. This application embodiment does not impose any limitations on this.

[0052] refer to Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 Based on the above embodiments, the diameter range of the arc surface can be D1-D2 mm. Where D1 can be 80 mm and D2 can be 100 mm. That is, the diameter range of the arc surface can be 80 mm-100 mm. In one possible implementation, in the second direction, the diameter range of the sphere containing the arc surface can be 80 mm-100 mm. Thus, the degree of concavity of arc surfaces with different diameters varies, thereby adapting to the curvature of different ears and facilitating the wearing of the clip-on earphone 100.

[0053] refer to Figure 1 as well as Figure 4 Based on the above embodiments, in one possible implementation, such as Figure 6As shown, the connector 400 can cover the auricular tail 520 of the ear 500, and the connector 400 can be elastically deformable, thereby allowing the connector 400 to be used to adjust the distance between the first ear clip 200 and the second ear clip 300 when clamping the ear 500. Thus, because the connector 400 has a certain degree of elasticity, it facilitates the removal of the ear-clamping headphone 100. By adjusting the distance between the first ear clip 200 and the second ear clip 300 when clamping the ear 500 through the elastic deformation of the connector 400, the wearing stability of the ear-clamping headphone 100 is maintained.

[0054] Based on the above embodiments, it can be understood that the connector 400 is made of a soft material. This facilitates the bending of the connector 400, thereby making it easy to wear or remove the clip-on earphone 100. In one possible implementation, the connector 400 can be made of soft rubber; however, this embodiment does not impose any limitations on this.

[0055] Continue to refer to Figure 1 Based on the above embodiments, one end of the connector 400 can be connected to the side of the first ear clip 200 facing away from the second ear clip 300, while the other end of the connector 400 can be connected to the side of the second ear clip 300 facing away from the first ear clip 200. In this embodiment, one end of the connector 400 can be connected to the outer surface of the first ear clip 200, and the other end of the connector 400 can be connected to the outer surface of the second ear clip 300, thereby giving the entire ear clip earphone 100 good stability. It is understood that this embodiment does not limit the position where the connector 400 is connected to the first ear clip 200 and the second ear clip 300.

[0056] Continue to refer to Figure 4 Based on the above embodiments, in one possible implementation, the first ear clip 200 may include a first housing 220, and the first housing 220 may have a first cavity 221 inside. In this embodiment, the battery may be located inside the first cavity 221, and the battery inside the first ear clip 200 can provide power to the entire ear clip earphone 100.

[0057] Continue to refer to Figure 4 Based on the above embodiments, in one possible implementation, the second ear clip 300 may include a second housing 310, and the second housing 310 may have a second cavity 311 inside. In this embodiment, a speaker may be located inside the second cavity 311, and the speaker is capable of transmitting sound to the human ear through the second ear clip 300.

[0058] Continue to refer to Figure 3Based on the above embodiments, a sound outlet 312 may be provided on the second housing 310. In one possible implementation, the number of sound outlets 312 can be several. This application does not limit the number of sound outlets 312. In the embodiments of this application, several sound outlets 312 are spaced apart on the second housing 310, and each sound outlet 312 can communicate with the second cavity 311. In this way, the speaker can transmit sound to the human ear through the sound outlets 312.

[0059] refer to Figure 3 as well as Figure 6 Based on the above embodiments, the sound outlet 312 can be located on the side of the second ear clip 300 facing the first ear clip 200, and the sound outlet 312 can be positioned towards the ear canal opening 530 of the ear 500, thereby enabling the speaker to transmit sound through the sound outlet 312 along the ear canal opening 530 into the ear 500. In one possible implementation, a plurality of sound outlets 312 can be spaced apart on the side of the second ear clip 300 facing the first ear clip 200, thereby positioning the plurality of sound outlets 312 towards the human ear, facilitating accurate sound transmission into the ear.

[0060] In this embodiment, the structure of the clip-on earphone 100 is rationally designed. By providing a recess 210 on the side of the first clip-on portion 200 facing the second clip-on portion 300 to conform to the curvature of the ear 500, the first clip-on portion 200 and the second clip-on portion 300 can form a clamping force while ensuring comfort. The length of the first clip-on portion 200 in the first direction is limited to be greater than or equal to the length of the first clip-on portion 200 in the second direction, allowing the first clip-on portion 200 to better conform to the ear curve, evenly distribute weight, thereby reducing the burden on the ear and improving the comfort and stability of long-term wear.
