Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to earphone field technology especially is a kind of earphone structure of wind noise resistance. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, more and more people start to buy Bluetooth headset to listen to high-quality music and for calls, and the headset is used outdoors, which will be affected by the wind. When using the headset to make a call or listen to music, wind noise often becomes an interference. Especially outdoors, the influence of the wind may make your voice unclear, affecting the call quality or listening experience. Then, how to eliminate or reduce the wind noise in the earphone? First, wind noise is a form of high-frequency noise, especially when the microphone hole of the earphone is in the windward direction, wind noise is particularly noticeable. Since the wind comes from all directions, when wind noise enters the channel through the earphone pickup hole, and then enters the sound hole of the microphone unit, and the air cannot be effectively discharged from the cavity, the air pressure in the cavity will increase, which will affect the pickup effect of the microphone, resulting in poor call quality of the earphone.

[0003] The existing earphone adopts a straight-line type pickup channel, and the straight-line type pickup channel has a large pickup volume and good call quality, but the straight-in design increases the amount of wind noise, resulting in poor wind noise resistance effect. To reduce the influence of wind noise, most manufacturers will attenuate a part of wind noise through the mesh between the lower shell of the earphone and the microphone magnet. When the wind blows into the sound cavity from the earphone pickup hole, most of the wind noise will still directly penetrate into the cavity, causing the microphone to receive too much wind noise. Therefore, the wind noise resistance effect is not ideal, which seriously affects the user experience, has poor practicality, and has a small application range. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing earphone wind noise resistance structure. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0034] In order to verify the feasibility and superiority of the technical scheme of the utility model patent application, a laboratory equipment is built, details are shown in Figure 2 , objective tests are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the technical scheme of the utility model patent application for wind noise resistance:

[0035] 1. An acoustic anechoic chamber is used to ensure that the background noise of the test environment is 20dB(A) or below;

[0036] 2, build Soundcheck acoustics tester system;

[0037] 3, the earphone is worn in the artificial ear of the dummy, and normal wearing is simulated;

[0038] 4, the wind noise box is opened to blow, various wind noises are simulated, and the earphone pickup hole receives the sound signal of the wind pressure;

[0039] 5, the earphone receives the sound signal, the Soundcheck system records, and saves an audio segment;

[0040] 6, run the Adobe Audition software on the computer, convert the recording file to generate a frequency response curve;

[0041] 7, the frequency response curves of the new scheme and the conventional scheme are tested, and objective comparison is made.

[0042] At the same time, in order to comprehensively verify and compare the effectiveness of the new scheme against wind noise, two modes of blowing from the front and blowing from the side of the test dummy are set, and details are shown in Figure 3 , and the wind speed is tested in two modes of 3m / s and 5m / s.

[0043] Use the Adobe Audition software to generate a frequency response curve interface to analyze the test results, blow from the front and blow from the side, respectively, use two wind speeds, a total of four test curve graphs, details are shown in Figure 4 . The right side of the curve graph X axis represents the frequency Hz, the lower Y axis represents the sound pressure dB value generated by the wind noise, the red curve is the conventional structure, the blue is the new anti-wind noise structure, and the two are compared.

[0044] From the final test comparison of different wind noise directions and wind speed sizes, especially in the effective frequency range of 500-3000Hz of the talker, the conventional scheme (red curve) is much higher than the technical scheme of the utility model patent application (blue curve) in the wind noise frequency area, more than 10dB, which fully shows that the technical scheme of the utility model patent application can receive less wind pressure and reduce the influence of the wind noise scene on the microphone pickup in comparison with the conventional scheme, and also fully shows that the subjective experience of the earphone in use will be much better than the same type of product with the conventional structure.

[0045] The double-mesh cloth design and the L-shaped windproof cavity structure not only greatly help to resist wind noise, but also improve the microphone sealing and waterproof to a certain extent. The so-called microphone sealing refers to that the microphone unit receives external signals through the earphone internal structure pipeline, and the internal structure cannot have a poor sealing problem to cause sound leakage. The sound leakage will also cause the microphone to pick up signals when the earphone internal speaker plays audio signals, which is the so-called echo problem of the earphone in the call. The reason for the microphone sealing is mainly that the gaps between the sound pickup hole shell wall and the microphone sleeve and between the microphone sleeve and the PCBA are prone to sealing problems. If the structure sealing is not good, air leakage will occur.

[0046] The first mesh cloth 51 is firmly and reliably bonded and fixed to the inner wall of the storage groove 102 by the adhesion of the double-sided adhesive, and the second mesh cloth 52 is also bonded and fixed to the PCBA 20 and the microphone sleeve 30 by the double-sided adhesive to achieve a more ideal sealing and effectively solve the echo problem in the call.

[0047] For improving the waterproof function of the product, a single mesh cloth can play a certain role in intercepting the splashing and flushing water in the waterproof test, but when the water flow is gathered, part of the water will flow into the mesh cloth and the microphone channel in the sound pickup hole. The L-shaped windproof cavity structure of the utility model has the advantages of long travel and bending, can effectively relieve part of the water pressure, and finally attenuate the remaining water flow on the second mesh cloth. At present, the earphone product with IPX4 / IPX5 requirements adopts a double-layer microphone mesh structure with a mesh number of more than 300, and the probability of passing the waterproof test is high, while the single-layer microphone mesh basically has problems.

[0048] The design of the utility model focuses on the following: the windproof cavity is a curved structure, the first mesh cloth is arranged on the communication position between the input end of the windproof cavity and the sound pickup hole, the second mesh cloth is arranged on the communication position between the output end of the windproof cavity and the sound pickup hole, the two layers of mesh cloths are attenuated, the windproof cavity is a curved structure, and the long channel distance can greatly reduce the air entering the cavity through the sound pickup hole. Even if a small amount of air enters, the flow rate of the small amount of air will be greatly reduced under the action of the bending windproof cavity, the wind noise airflow reaching the microphone is less, the flow rate of the airflow is very slow, the influence of the airflow on the microphone is reduced, the microphone performance is improved, the overall performance of the earphone is improved, the user's call experience is improved, even if used outdoors, the wind noise is not large, the user's experience is improved, and the application range is wide.

[0049] The above merely describes the preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not intended to limit the technical scope of the present application in any way. Any minor modification, equivalent change and modification made according to the technical essence of the present application shall still fall within the scope of the technical scheme of the present application.
