The sound-guiding plug is used to play audio when inserted into the external auditory canal of the ear; one end of the clip-on stem is connected to the sound-guiding plug; the other end of the clip-on stem is connected to the earphone body, and an ear-contacting surface is formed on the side of the earphone body adjacent to the sound-guiding plug, which is used to conform to the outer side of the tragus of the ear; the earphone body and the sound-guiding plug are spaced apart along a first preset direction, such that the sound-guiding plug, the clip-on stem, and the earphone body together form a clamping area, which is used to clamp the tragus of the ear.

[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 3 To better understand the clip-on earphone 10 of this application, the following further explanation of the clip-on earphone 10 is provided:

[0033] An embodiment of the ear-clamping earphone 10 includes a sound-guiding plug 100, an ear-clamping stem 200, and an earphone body 300. The sound-guiding plug 100 is used to play audio when inserted into the external auditory canal of the ear; one end of the ear-clamping stem 200 is connected to the sound-guiding plug 100; the other end of the ear-clamping stem 200 is connected to the earphone body 300; the earphone body 300 has an ear-contact surface 310 on the side adjacent to the sound-guiding plug 100, which is used to conform to the outer side of the tragus of the ear; the earphone body 300 and the sound-guiding plug 100 are spaced apart along a first preset direction, such that the sound-guiding plug 100, the ear-clamping stem 200, and the earphone body 300 together form a clamping area 101, which is used to clamp the tragus of the ear.

[0034] In the embodiment, when the sound guide plug-in body 100 is plugged into the outer ear canal of the ear, the clamping area 101 is clamped at the tragus of the ear, and at the same time, the ear fitting surface 310 of the earphone main body 300 is better fitted outside the tragus of the ear, replacing the ear handle clamped on the outer auricle of the existing clip-on earphone. The clip-on earphone 10 effectively increases the contact area of the earphone main body 300 and the outside of the tragus, that is, better increases the support contact point of the earphone main body 300 and the ear, and in combination with the clamping effect of the clamping area 101, so as to avoid the situation that the earphone is loose and falls off, and improve the stability of the earphone wearing.

[0035] It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 2 , the first preset direction is the direction of the A arrow.

[0036] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in one of the embodiments, the clip-on earphone 10 further comprises a soft pad 400, which is arranged on the ear fitting surface 310, and the shape of the soft pad 400 matches the shape of the ear fitting surface 310. In this way, when the sound guide plug-in body 100 is plugged into the outer ear canal of the ear, the soft pad 400 on the ear fitting surface 310 of the earphone main body 300 will be fitted outside the tragus of the ear, so that the contact between the outside of the tragus and the earphone main body 300 is more comfortable, so as to effectively reduce the stiffness of the contact between the earphone main body 300 and the ear; at the same time, the soft pad 400 can also increase the support contact point of the earphone main body 300 and the ear, in combination with the clamping effect of the clamping area 101, so as to avoid the situation that the earphone is loose and falls off, and improve the stability of the earphone wearing.

[0037] As shown in Figure 2 , in one of the embodiments, the clip-on handle 200 is in the shape of U. In one of the embodiments, the minimum distance between the sound guide plug-in body 100 and the earphone main body 300 is 3mm. In this way, the clamping area 101 has a relatively firm and comfortable clamping force, so as to ensure the stability of the earphone wearing, and also avoid the compression feeling of the tragus caused by the large clamping force.

[0038] As shown in Figure 1 , in one of the embodiments, the sound guide plug-in body 100 is in the shape of a sphere. In one of the embodiments, the radius of the sphere of the sound guide plug-in body 100 is 6mm. In this way, the size of the sound guide plug-in body 100 better adapts to the width of the outer ear canal of the user's ear, so that the user can place the sound guide plug-in body 100 in the outer ear canal, so that the wearing of the clip-on earphone 10 is more convenient and comfortable.

[0039] As shown in Figure 2As shown in the drawings, in one of the embodiments, the sound guide plug-in body 100 comprises a first hemisphere 110 and a second hemisphere 120; one end of the ear clamping handle 200 is connected to the first hemisphere 110, and the first hemisphere 110 is connected to the second hemisphere 120 in a snap-fit manner.

[0040] It can be understood that the first hemisphere 110 and the second hemisphere 120 are connected in a snap-fit manner, which facilitates the injection molding of the first hemisphere 110 and the second hemisphere 120 separately, and facilitates the manufacturing and assembly.

[0041] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the first hemisphere 110 and the second hemisphere 120 together enclose an audio cavity (not shown in the drawings) for mounting a loudspeaker; and the earphone body 300 is internally provided with a battery module (not shown in the drawings) and a control module (not shown in the drawings), and the control module is electrically connected to the battery module and the loudspeaker, respectively, so as to realize audio playback through the loudspeaker.

[0042] As shown in the drawings, Figure 1 and Figure 2 in one of the embodiments, the second hemisphere 120 is provided with a loudspeaker hole 1201, and the loudspeaker hole 1201 is provided with a stepped structure for positioning and mounting a dust cover net. In this way, dust is effectively prevented from entering the inside of the audio cavity.

[0043] As shown in the drawings, Figure 2 in one of the embodiments, the loudspeaker hole 1201 and the second preset direction form an angle in the range of 10°-15°. In the present embodiment, the loudspeaker hole 1201 and the second preset direction form an angle of 11°, so that when the sound guide plug-in body 100 is plugged into the external auditory canal part of the ear, the loudspeaker hole 1201 can be better inclined towards the direction from the external auditory canal to the eardrum of the ear, so as to ensure better audio playback experience and audio playback clarity for the user.

[0044] It should be noted that, as shown in the drawings, Figure 2 the second preset direction is the direction of the axis coinciding with the B dashed line, wherein C is the angle between the loudspeaker hole 1201 and the axis.

[0045] As shown in the drawings, Figure 2 in one of the embodiments, the ear clamping handle 200 comprises a first bending section 210, a second bending section 220 and a circular arc transition section 230 connected in sequence; the bending radius of the first bending section 210 is in the range of 3.8mm-4.2mm; the bending radius of the second bending section 220 is in the range of 4.8mm-5.2mm; and the length of the circular arc transition section 230 is in the range of 6mm-7mm.

[0046] It can be understood that, in the embodiment, the bending radius of the first bending section 210 is 4mm, the bending radius of the second bending section 220 is 5mm, and the length of the arc transition section 230 is 6.5mm. Compared with the existing ear-clamping earphone which adopts the mode of clamping the ear handle in the outer auricle part, the ear-clamping earphone 10 of the utility model adopts the mode of clamping the tragus part by the clamping area 101, so that the different bending radii of the first bending section 210 and the second bending section 220 and the length value of the arc transition section 230 can be set, so as to shorten the total length of the ear handle 200 and adjust the clamping force of the clamping area, so that the overall structure of the earphone is compact, the volume is smaller, and the user wears more comfortably.

[0047] It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 2 R4 represents the bending radius of the first bending section 210, R5 represents the bending radius of the second bending section 220, and S represents the arc path of the arc transition section 230, i.e. the arc from the second bending section 220 to the first hemisphere 110 is the arc transition section 230.

[0048] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has at least the following advantages:

[0049] When the sound guide plug is inserted into the ear canal part of the ear, it is clamped in the tragus part of the ear by the clamping area, and at the same time, the ear part of the earphone main body is better attached to the outside of the tragus of the ear, replacing the existing ear-clamping earphone which adopts the mode of clamping the ear handle in the outer auricle. The ear-clamping earphone of the utility model effectively increases the contact area between the earphone main body and the outside of the tragus, i.e. better increases the support contact points between the earphone main body and the ear, and at the same time, the clamping effect of the clamping area is combined, so that the earphone can be prevented from loosening and falling off, and the stability of the earphone is improved.

[0050] The above-described embodiments only express several embodiments of the utility model, and the description is more specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as a limitation on the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the concept of the utility model, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent should be subject to the appended claims.
