Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to earphone technical field, specifically, earphone front cavity frequency wave crest suppression structure and in ear earphone. BACKGROUND

[0002] In-ear earphones are extremely popular in modern portable audio devices due to their lightweight and portable characteristics. However, their design complexity is high, involving multiple core components, including sound-emitting units, earphone cavities, and other auxiliary elements. Among these components, the design of the earphone cavity, especially the front cavity, has a significant impact on sound quality, as it determines the sound wave propagation path and the final sound output frequency response characteristics.

[0003] When an in-ear earphone is worn, it forms a closed cavity in the ear canal. This closed environment can produce a large amount of sound wave reflection and resonance during audio playback, resulting in a sharp increase in the peak resonance frequency of the resonance peak. This not only makes the sound sharp and distorted, but also seriously affects the auditory comfort of the wearer.

[0004] To solve this problem, current designs usually introduce a Helmholtz resonance structure inside the earphone. This structure can effectively adjust the resonance frequency, control the propagation characteristics of sound waves, and suppress the peak value of sound waves at specific frequencies, thereby improving sound quality and enhancing the auditory experience of the wearer.

[0005] For example, the Chinese utility model with publication number CN212677367U provides a noise-reducing earphone by setting several Helmholtz resonance cavities on the feedback microphone's pickup pipeline to achieve filtering and noise reduction. Another example is the Chinese utility model with publication number CN222053334U, which provides an in-ear earphone by setting a Helmholtz channel on the loudspeaker assembly to absorb sound energy near the peak resonance frequency of the resonance peak in the ear cavity, thereby suppressing the sharp increase in the peak resonance frequency of the resonance peak, making the frequency response curve of the sound more flat, and ultimately improving the sound quality.

[0006] The above-mentioned existing technologies are all non-integral structures. However, in non-integral cavity structures, the interaction between independent components is difficult to accurately control, and the connection between components may become an obstacle to sound wave propagation. This structural defect can cause additional sound wave reflection and energy loss, thereby reducing the clarity and detail performance of sound quality and affecting the auditory experience of users.
