Therefore, the features defined with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more, unless otherwise specifically limited.

[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and examples.

[0031] In order to better understand the technical scheme, the present application is exemplified by the ear structure explanation, so as to be combined with the open earphone of the present application; see Figure 1 , the ear 1 of the human body includes: the external auditory canal 11, the concha cavity 12, the concha crus 13, the triangular fossa 14, the antihelix crus 15, the scapha 16, the antihelix 17 and the helix 18.

[0032] It should be noted that, for the convenience of description, the following examples of the present specification will refer to the pair of the upper and lower antihelical crus 15 and the area where the antihelix 17 is located as the antihelix area. In some examples, the earphone can be worn with the aid of one or more parts of the ear 1 to achieve stable attachment of the earphone to the ear. In addition, the outer ear canal 11, the concha cavity 12, the cymba concha 13, the triangular fossa 14, and the like have a certain depth and volume, which can assist in achieving the wearing of the earphone. For example, an in-ear earphone can be worn in the outer ear canal 11, and an open earphone can be worn in the antihelix area by means of the ear hook. In some examples, the earphone can be worn with the aid of other parts of the ear 1 other than the outer ear canal 1. For example, the earphone can be worn with the aid of the cymba concha 13, the triangular fossa 14, the antihelix 15, the scaphal 16, or the helix 18, or a combination thereof.

[0033] In some examples, the earphone can be designed to adapt to the shape of the ear 1 according to the structure of the ear 1 to achieve the wearing of the sound generating part of the earphone in different positions of the ear. For example, an open earphone can include an ear hook 3 and an earphone body 2, the earphone body 2 is connected to the ear hook 3 by a physical means, and the ear hook 3 can be adapted to the shape of the auricle to place the whole or part of the earphone body 2 in the antihelix area.

[0034] In the use of an open earphone, the earphone body 2 is supported by one or more parts of the ear to achieve stable connection of the earphone to the ear. Figure 2 As shown.

[0035] The outer ear canal 11, the concha cavity 12, the cymba concha 13, the triangular fossa 14, and the like of the ear 1 have a certain three-dimensional space, and thus have a certain depth and accommodation space, which can assist in achieving the accommodation and stable wearing of the earphone body 2.

[0036] In order to improve the stability and comfort of the earphone in wearing, the earphone body 2 can be supported by other components such as the ear hook 3 in the present embodiment, or other components such as a head-mounted support.

[0037] The above description of the ear is only for the purpose of assisting in understanding how to assist in using the earphone, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications according to the description of the present application.

[0038] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an example open earphone worn on the ear according to the present specification. As shown. Figure 2As shown, the open earphone includes: an earphone body; of course, in use, it also includes other auxiliary fixing units, such as a hanging structure, a head-mounted support, etc.; the auxiliary fixing unit is connected with the earphone body, and in use, the earphone body can be tightly attached to the ear 1.

[0039] In actual use, the open earphone can be worn on the ear of the user through the hanging structure. The hanging structure can be an ear hook 3, and the earphone body is connected with one end of the ear hook 3. The ear hook 3 can be provided in a shape suitable for the ear 1 of the user. For example, the ear hook 3 can be a semicircular structure. In some examples, the hanging structure can also be a clamping structure matched with the auricle of the user, which forms a clamping with the auricle of the user and assists in fixing the earphone body.

[0040] Exemplarily, the structure of the ear hook 3 is various, such as the ear hook 3 is an integral structure and is provided in a semicircular structure; for example, the ear hook 3 includes two parts, i.e., an ear hook first part and an ear hook second part; the ear hook first part can be hung between the auricle and the head of the user, and the ear hook second part can extend to the side of the auricle of the user away from the head and be connected with the earphone body.

[0041] Exemplarily, referring to Figures 2 to 5 , the earphone body includes an earphone shell 28, and a loudspeaker 25 is arranged in the earphone shell 28; an acoustic outlet 23 is formed on the earphone shell 28 opposite to the sound outlet position of the loudspeaker 25, an edge acoustic hole 21 is arranged on the edge of the acoustic outlet 23, and a center acoustic outlet 22 is arranged in the middle of the acoustic outlet 23, and the center acoustic outlet 22 forms a center acoustic hole 24.

[0042] When the earphone body is used with the auxiliary fixing unit, the earphone body is located near the external auditory canal, specifically, the acoustic outlet 23 of the earphone body is opposite to the ear and close to the external auditory canal. When the earphone body sounds, the sound includes high frequency, medium frequency and low frequency. It is generally recognized that: high frequency sound refers to sound in the frequency band of 2000-16000 Hz; low frequency sound refers to sound in the frequency band of 20-500 Hz; and medium frequency sound refers to sound in the frequency band of 500 Hz-2000 Hz. Of course, there can be different classifications; different frequencies of sound have different wavelengths.

[0043] The current earphone body generally only uses the edge sound hole 21, which is relatively far from the center position of the sound outlet 23, resulting in that the high frequency sound needs to be reflected multiple times in the front cavity of the earphone body, and then comes out from the edge sound hole 21. Thus, the high frequency sound is attenuated particularly severely when reaching the edge sound hole 21, that is, the high frequency sound at the edge sound hole 21 is not easy to be transmitted into the external auditory canal and received by the person. The wavelength of the middle and low sound is relatively long, which can well reach the edge sound hole 21, and thus the performance is good. However, the high frequency sound is very common in listening to music, so that the effect of the high frequency sound is poor, and the volume often needs to be increased, which is inconvenient for use.

[0044] Therefore, the sound outlet 23 is improved, and a center sound outlet 22 is arranged at the center of the sound outlet 23. The center sound outlet 22 has one center sound hole 24 or more than two center sound holes 24. The high frequency sound emitted from the loudspeaker 25 directly penetrates the center sound hole 24 and enters the external auditory canal along the surface of the ear. Although there is some sound leakage, the performance is still better than the structure with only the edge sound hole 21.

[0045] The center sound hole 24 is mainly arranged to improve the sound effect of the high frequency sound. According to the simple relationship between the wavelength and the sound speed (v) and the frequency (f): λ=v / f, it can be known that the sound speed in the air is basically relatively stable and unchanged, and the sound wave of the high frequency sound is very small, so a center sound hole can be arranged at the center sound outlet, and the aperture of the center sound hole can also be relatively small.

[0046] When the center sound hole 24 is arranged in multiple, the center sound hole is preferably circular and arranged in a row. A center sound outlet 22 is formed; the sound emitted by the diaphragm 29 is concentrated in the middle, especially the high frequency sound, and the center sound hole 24 is arranged in a row in the middle of the sound outlet 23, which is beneficial to the penetration of the high frequency sound.

[0047] Exemplarily, refer to Figures 3 to 5 In this embodiment, the sound outlet 23 is arranged to be circular and slightly outwardly protruded relative to the surface of the earphone shell 28, so that the sound outlet 23 can further extend into the antihelix area or be closer to the external auditory canal 11 when cooperating with the ear 1.

[0048] Exemplarily, refer to Figure 3 When the earphone body works, the sound emitted by the diaphragm 29 is almost all projected to the sound outlet 23, so the sound outlet 23 needs to collect the sound as much as possible and avoid losing the sound when being designed. The diameter of the sound outlet 23 is slightly larger than the diameter of the diaphragm 29, and the projection can completely cover the diaphragm 29. Considering the sound divergence type propagation, the diameter of the sound outlet 23 can be 1.1-1.2 times of the diameter of the diaphragm 29.

[0049] Secondly, the center sound outlet 22 is the main penetration position of high frequency sound, and needs to obtain better high frequency sound effect. The center sound outlet 22 needs to receive most of the high frequency sound emitted by the diaphragm 29. Considering that the wavelength of high frequency sound is short, the area of the center sound outlet 22 is not easy to design large in the design of the center sound outlet 22. After many simulations and tests, when the area of the center sound outlet 22 accounts for 1 / 9-1 / 4 of the area of the sound outlet 23, the high sound volume obtained by the center sound outlet reaches an optimal value.

[0050] Exemplarily, as described above, the center sound outlet 22 is used for the penetration of high frequency sound, and the high frequency sound is mainly located in the center position in the sound emission of the diaphragm 29. In order to make the high frequency sound quickly pass through the sound outlet 22 and reduce reflection loss, preferably, the center of the center sound outlet 22 is arranged opposite to the center of the loudspeaker 25, that is, the center of the center sound outlet 22 is on the central axis of the loudspeaker 25.

[0051] Secondly, the center sound outlet 22 needs to receive most of the penetration of high frequency sound emitted by the diaphragm 29, and the center sound outlet 22 needs to cover the concentrated area of high frequency sound. The area of the center sound outlet 22 is designed to be small, which results in low penetration rate of high frequency sound. The area of the center sound outlet 22 is designed to be large, which results in that most of the center sound holes do not have much high frequency sound passing through, and also increases the processing cost.

[0052] After simulation and actual test, the center sound outlet 22 needs to reach a certain proportion. For example, when the center sound outlet 22 is circular, the diameter of the center sound outlet 22 is 1 / 6-2 / 3 of the diameter of the loudspeaker 25. As shown in the figure, the diameter of the center sound outlet 22 is D. Figure 5

[0053] Because the shape of the loudspeaker 25 can be other polygons and the like for modeling and other designs of the open earphone, the effective area can be used to design the center sound outlet 22 at this time. The area of the center sound outlet is designed through the proportional relationship of the effective area, and the shape of the center sound outlet 22 is the same as or similar to the shape of the loudspeaker.

[0054] Exemplarily, the earphone body is basically exposed to the outside when the open earphone is used, that is, dust will inevitably enter the earphone shell 28 from the edge sound hole 21 and the center sound hole 24 when the earphone body is used, thereby polluting the internal environment.

[0055] In order to avoid this situation, a dust screen is generally arranged. In the embodiment, the edge dust screen 26 is arranged opposite to the edge sound hole 21 in the earphone shell 28, and the center dust screen 27 is arranged corresponding to the center sound outlet 22.

[0056] ​In order to further improve the effect of the high frequency sound penetrating through the center sound hole 24, the center sound hole 24 is arranged in multiple intervals. Of course, one center sound hole 24 can also be arranged. Since the wavelength of the high frequency sound is relatively short, when one center sound hole 24 is arranged, the diameter of the center sound hole 24 needs to be designed to be relatively large, but the effect is still relatively poor.

[0057] It is known that the edge sound hole 21 is used for the penetration of the low frequency sound. When the earphone body is close to the ear, the earphone body is generally in an inclined state. For example, as shown in Figure 2 , in use, the earphone body is obliquely cut into the ear from the antihelix foot and the tragus of the ear 1. The earphone body is located obliquely above the external auditory canal 11, and the sound emitting part 23 of the earphone body is located at the cymba concha or / and the cavum conchae of the ear. In order to improve the effect of the low frequency sound, when worn, the distance between the edge sound hole 21 and the external auditory canal is 3-15mm; the sound leakage can be effectively reduced.

[0058] For example, referring to Figure 4 , Figure 5 ; the edge sound hole 21 can be arranged in a circular arc shape. After the sound is emitted from the diaphragm 29, it spreads in all directions. By arranging the edge sound hole 21 in a circular arc shape, the distance between the points on the same circular arc of the edge sound hole 21 and the center of the diaphragm 29 is approximately equal, so that the phases of the low frequency sound penetrating from each part of the edge sound hole 21 are approximately the same, and the phenomenon of sound interference basically does not occur.

[0059] After the earphone body is attached to the ear, the sound emitting part 23 of the earphone body is located at the cymba concha 13 or / and the cavum conchae 12 of the ear, and is inclined towards the ear canal opening. The corresponding central angle B of the edge sound hole 21 is 40-150 degrees. Within this range, the low frequency sound effect of the edge sound hole 21 can be relatively good, and the attenuation of the low frequency sound is relatively low, and the proportion of sound leakage is relatively low.

[0060] Considering the effect of the edge sound hole 21, the area of the edge sound hole 21 corresponds to the central angle A of the center, and A is 0-150 degrees; the sound leakage can be effectively reduced.

[0061] For example, referring to Figure 6 , in order to avoid sound wave interference of the edge sound hole 21, the width C of the edge sound hole 21 needs to be limited; the width C of the edge sound hole is 1-4 times the width E of the diaphragm folding ring 210 of the horn 25.

[0062] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application, and only the technical principles of the present application are specifically described, and these descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present application, and cannot be interpreted as limiting the protection scope of the present application in any way. Based on the explanation herein, any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principles of the present application, and other specific embodiments of the present application that can be conceived by those skilled in the art without creative labor, should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
