Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of headphones, and in particular to a sliding clip-on headphone. Background Technology

[0002] Clip-on headphones are used by clipping onto the helix of the ear. Compared to in-ear headphones, clip-on headphones do not penetrate the ear canal. Therefore, their structure can reduce the risk of ear canal inflammation caused by prolonged wear, hence the increasingly widespread use of clip-on headphones.

[0003] Existing clip-on headphones consist of an earphone body, an ear clip, and a connector. The connector has a C-shaped curved structure, while the earphone body and ear clip are roughly bean-shaped and connected to both ends of the connector. A clamping gap is formed between the earphone body and the ear clip. During use, the earphone is clamped onto the ear through this gap, thus achieving the wearing of the headphones. However, since the earphone body, ear clip, and connector in clip-on headphones are basically fixed and cannot be disassembled, the clamping gap between the earphone body and the ear clip is roughly fixed after the headphones are manufactured. Because different users have different ear structures, the same clamping gap may not be suitable for different users. Therefore, existing clip-on headphones cannot adjust the clamping gap to suit different users, meaning they cannot adapt to different ear structures, especially for users with different ear thicknesses, where the wearing difference is particularly noticeable. Furthermore, users find it difficult to adjust the headphone position according to usage to achieve maximum wearing comfort.

[0004] Therefore, a new technology needs to be developed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention addresses the deficiencies of the existing technology, and its main purpose is to provide a sliding ear clip-on earphone that allows the earphone to better adapt to the user's ear. The user can adjust the clamping gap according to their own needs, thereby improving wearing comfort and increasing the applicability of the earphone to different ear structures.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

The connector has an arc-shaped structure, and a first sliding connection portion is provided on the inner side of both ends of the connector. A second sliding connection portion is provided on both the earphone body and the ear clip, and the second sliding connection portions on the earphone body and the ear clip are slidably connected to the first sliding connection portions at both ends of the connector. Both the earphone body and the ear clip can move towards or away from the connector, so that the earphone body and the ear clip move closer to or further away from each other.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, either the first sliding connection part or the second sliding connection part is configured as a groove, and the other is configured as a slider; the slider is movably installed in the groove.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the first sliding connection part is a groove, which is recessed inside the connector and extends in the vertical direction; the side of the earphone body away from the ear clip and the side of the ear clip away from the earphone body are both provided with receiving grooves, which extend in the vertical direction; the second sliding connection part is a slider and protrudes from the inner wall of the receiving groove; the slider is slidably connected to the groove so that the two ends of the connector are respectively slidably installed in the receiving grooves of the earphone body and the ear clip.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the upper side of the receiving groove has an arc-shaped extension.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, there is contact friction between the slider and the groove, and this contact friction enables the slider to remain stable after moving to any position.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the slider includes a main body and a sliding protrusion integrally connected to one end of the main body. Both the main body and the sliding protrusion are cylindrical, and the diameter of the sliding protrusion is larger than the diameter of the main body, so that the cross-sectional structure of the slider is T-shaped.

[0013] The chute includes an auxiliary chute and a main chute. The auxiliary chute is disposed along the side wall of the connector and communicates with the external environment. The main chute is disposed inside the connector and is disposed along the length direction of the auxiliary chute. The auxiliary chute is connected to the main chute, and the width of the main chute is greater than the width of the auxiliary chute.

[0014] The main body of the slider is located in the auxiliary groove, and the sliding protrusion is movably installed in the main groove, with the diameter of the sliding protrusion corresponding to the width of the main groove.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment, a magnetic attraction component is provided between the first sliding connection portion and the second sliding connection portion. The magnetic attraction component is used to lock the first sliding connection portion and the second sliding connection portion so that the earphone body or the ear clip remains stable after moving to any position.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment, the magnetic attraction assembly includes an electromagnet and a metal component. The electromagnet is disposed within the second sliding connection portion, and the metal component is disposed within the first sliding connection portion.

[0019] This utility model has significant advantages and beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0020] The ear clip-on earphone provided in this application includes an earphone body, an ear clip, and a connector. The earphone body and the ear clip are respectively connected to both ends of the connector. The connector has an arc-shaped structure, with a first sliding connection portion provided on the inner side of each end of the connector, and a second sliding connection portion provided on the side of the earphone body away from the ear clip and the side of the ear clip away from the earphone body. The first sliding connection portion and the second sliding connection portion are slidably connected, so that the earphone body and the ear clip can move towards or away from the connector, so that the earphone body and the ear clip are closer to or further away from each other. This can change the relative position of the earphone body and the ear clip, thereby adjusting the clamping gap between the earphone body and the ear clip, so that the earphone can better adapt to the user's ear. The user can adjust the clamping gap according to their own needs to improve wearing comfort, and at the same time improve the applicability of the earphone to different ear structures.

[0021] Furthermore, by providing an electromagnet in one of the first sliding connecting parts and a metal part in the other, and by combining the setting of a control component, the electromagnet can be energized and de-energized through the control component, so that the electromagnet and the metal part can attract or detach from each other, thereby locking or releasing the connector with the headphone body and the ear clip. Thus, after the connector moves to any position, it can be fixed by the mutual attraction between the electromagnet and the metal part, so that the connector is stably connected with the headphone body and the ear clip.

[0036] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5As shown, this embodiment provides a slidable ear clip-on earphone, including an earphone body 10, an ear clip 20, and a connector 30. The earphone body 10 and the ear clip 20 are respectively connected to both ends of the connector 30. The connector 30 has an arc-shaped structure. Preferably, the connector 30 is made of soft rubber and is bent in the middle to form an elastic arc-shaped structure. A first sliding connection portion is provided on the inner side of both ends of the connector 30. A second sliding connection portion is provided on the side of the earphone body 10 away from the ear clip 20 and on the side of the ear clip 20 away from the earphone body 10. The first sliding connection portions on the earphone body 10 and the ear clip 20 are respectively connected to the connector 30. The second sliding connection at both ends of the connector 30 is slidably connected; both the earphone body 10 and the ear clip 20 can move toward or away from the connector 30, that is, the earphone body 10 and the ear clip 20 can move along the structural extension direction of the connector 30, so that the earphone body 10 and the ear clip 20 move closer or further apart from each other. In this way, the relative position of the earphone body 10 and the ear clip 20 can be changed, thereby adjusting the clamping gap between the earphone body 10 and the ear clip 20, so that the earphone can better adapt to the user's ear. The user can adjust the clamping gap according to their own needs to improve wearing comfort, and at the same time improve the applicability of the earphone to different ear structures.

[0038] In this embodiment, either the first sliding connection part or the second sliding connection part is configured as a groove 31, and the other is configured as a slider 40. The slider 40 is movably installed within the groove 31. Thus, by cooperating with the groove 31, the slider 40 achieves a sliding connection between the connector 30 and the earphone body 10 or the ear clip 20. The slider 40 can move within the groove 31, thereby allowing relative movement between the connector 30 and the earphone body 10 or the ear clip 20, and thus changing the clamping gap between the earphone body 10 and the ear clip 20. Furthermore, there is contact friction between the slider 40 and the groove 31; that is, there is friction between the slider 40 and the groove 31. When the connector 30 moves to the corresponding position relative to the earphone body 10 or the ear clip 20, the friction keeps the connector 30 stable relative to the earphone body 10 or the ear clip 20.

[0039] It is worth noting that, under normal conditions, the friction between slider 40 and groove 31 keeps slider 40 stable on groove 31. That is, the headphone body 10 and ear clip 20 remain stable after moving to any position on connector 30, thus ensuring stable use of the headphones after adjusting to the appropriate clamping gap. When it is necessary to adjust the clamping gap, the user applies a force greater than the friction force to push the headphone body 10 and ear clip 20, allowing slider 40 to move on groove 31, thereby adjusting the clamping gap between headphone body 10 and ear clip 20. After adjusting to the corresponding position, the friction between slider 40 and groove 31 keeps headphone body 10 and ear clip 20 stable.

[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first sliding connection part is a groove 31, which is recessed inside the connector 30 and extends in the vertical direction. The earphone body 10 on the side away from the ear clip 20 and the ear clip 20 on the side away from the earphone body 10 are both provided with receiving grooves 50, which extend in the vertical direction. The second sliding connection part is a slider 40 protruding from the inner wall of the receiving groove 50. The slider 40 is slidably connected to the groove 31 to slide both ends of the connector 30 into the receiving grooves 50 of the earphone body 10 and the ear clip 20, respectively. Simultaneously, the upper side of the receiving groove 50 has an arc-shaped extension section 51, the curvature of which matches the inner curvature of the connector 30, allowing the receiving groove 50 to better adapt to the connecting ends 32 on both sides of the connector 30.

[0041] Furthermore, the slider 40 includes a main body 41 and a sliding protrusion 42. One end of the main body 41 is fixedly installed in the receiving groove 50, and the other end is connected to the sliding protrusion 42. Both the main body 41 and the sliding protrusion 42 are cylindrical, and the diameter of the sliding protrusion 42 is larger than the diameter of the main body 41, so that the cross-sectional structure of the slider is T-shaped, that is, the head is large and the tail is small.

[0042] The slide 31 includes an auxiliary groove 311 and a main groove 312. The auxiliary groove 311 is disposed along the side wall of the connector 30 and communicates with the external environment. The main groove 312 is disposed inside the connector 30 and is disposed along the length direction of the auxiliary groove 311. The auxiliary groove 311 is connected to the main groove 312, and the width of the main groove 312 is greater than the width of the auxiliary groove 311, so that the slide 31 forms a stepped groove with a small opening and a large interior, and the structure corresponds to the slider 40.

[0043] When the slider 40 and the slide groove 31 are engaged, the main body 41 of the slider 31 is located in the auxiliary groove 311, and the sliding protrusion 42 can be installed in the main groove 312. The diameter of the sliding protrusion 42 corresponds to the width of the main groove 312. That is, the structure of the sliding protrusion 42 corresponds to the main groove 312. Therefore, after the slider 40 and the slide groove 31 are engaged, the side of the sliding protrusion 42 near the main body 41 is limited by the limiting step 313 of the slide groove 31. That is, the structure of the slide groove 31 can limit and fix the structure of the slider 40, thereby preventing the slider 40 from falling out of the slide groove 31 and ensuring a stable connection between the connector 30 and the headphone body 10 or the ear clip 20.

[0044] In this design, the sliding protrusion 42 of the slider 40 is tightly fitted to the wall of the main groove 312 of the slide groove 31, and there is contact friction between them. This friction allows the slider 40 to move to any position and remain stable. At the same time, after overcoming this friction, the slider 40 can be driven to move within the slide groove 31. In addition, in order to increase the friction between the slider 40 and the slide groove 31, the main body 41 of the slider 40 can be fitted to the wall of the auxiliary groove 311 of the slide groove 31, or the sliding protrusion 42 of the slider 40 can be set to other shapes, such as rectangles, to increase the contact area between the sliding protrusion 42 and the main groove 312, thereby increasing the contact area between the slider 40 and the slide groove 31, and thus increasing the friction, thereby improving the stability of the earphone body 10 and the ear clip 20 when moving to any position.

[0045] In this embodiment, to further improve the installation stability of the earphone body 10 and the ear clip 20 on the connector 30, as well as their stability after being moved to any position, a magnetic attraction component is provided between the first sliding connection portion and the second sliding connection portion. The magnetic attraction component is used to lock the first sliding connection portion and the second sliding connection portion, so that the earphone body 10 or the ear clip 20 remains stable after being moved to any position, and at the same time ensures the installation stability of the earphone body 10 and the ear clip 20 on the connector 30.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, the magnetic attraction component includes an electromagnet (not shown in the figure) and a metal part (not shown in the figure). The electromagnet is disposed within the second sliding connection portion, and the metal part is disposed within the first sliding connection portion. In a more specific embodiment, the electromagnet is disposed within the slider 40, and the metal part is disposed within the groove 31. When the electromagnet is energized, it can magnetically attract the metal part, thereby locking the first sliding connection portion and the second sliding connection portion together. Therefore, by controlling the energization and de-energization of the electromagnet, the electromagnet and the metal part can be attracted or detached, thereby locking or releasing the connector 30 from the earphone body 10 and the ear clip 20. Thus, after the connector 30 moves to any position, it can be fixed by the mutual attraction between the electromagnet and the metal part, ensuring a stable connection between the connector 30 and the earphone body 10 and the ear clip 20.

[0047] Furthermore, a control element (not shown in the figure) is provided on the outer wall of the earphone body 10, ear clip 20, or connector 30. Preferably, the control element is provided on the outer wall of the connector 30. The control element is used to control the energization and de-energization of the electromagnet, so that the electromagnet and the metal part can attract or detach from each other. In specific operation, when it is necessary to move the connector 30, the control element controls the electromagnet to de-energize, at which time the connector 30 can be moved. After the connector 30 is moved to a suitable position, the control element controls the electromagnet to be energized again, so that the electromagnet and the metal part magnetically engage, thereby fixing the connector 30 and the earphone body 10 or ear clip 20. Preferably, the control element is a touch FPC or a button.

[0048] Furthermore, the metal part has a sheet-like structure, preferably an iron sheet. The metal part is located on the side wall of the main groove 312 away from the auxiliary groove 311, and the slider 40 can move along this side wall of the main groove 312. Therefore, the metal part is laid on the moving path of the electromagnet, which can ensure that after the slider 40 moves to the appropriate position, the metal part structure is magnetically attracted to the electromagnet, thereby ensuring the assembly effect of the earphone body 10 or ear clip 20 and the connector 30.

[0049] In summary, the key design feature of this utility model lies in its arc-shaped connector. A first sliding connection portion is provided on the inner side of both ends of the connector, and a second sliding connection portion is provided on both the side of the earphone body away from the ear clip and the side of the ear clip away from the earphone body. The first and second sliding connection portions are slidably connected, allowing both the earphone body and the ear clip to move towards or away from the connector. This changes their relative positions, adjusting the clamping gap between them to better accommodate the user. The ear clip allows users to adjust the clamping gap to improve wearing comfort and broaden the applicability of the headphones to accommodate different ear structures. Furthermore, by incorporating an electromagnet in one of the first sliding connecting parts and a metal component in the other, along with a control mechanism, the electromagnet can be energized and de-energized to attract or detach from the metal component. This locks or releases the connector between the ear clip and the headphone body. Thus, even when the connector moves to any position, the electromagnet and metal component can be attracted and fixed together, ensuring a stable connection between the connector, the headphone body, and the ear clip.
