[0044] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical scheme of the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0045] As the content of the above background art, when the user wears the earphone to listen to music, the user needs to operate the earphone through the key to perform relevant operations, for example, playing music, pausing playing and the like. When the user takes off the earphone in the middle of listening to music, the user also needs to pause playing music through the key. After wearing the earphone again, the user needs to play music again through the key. The operation is complicated, which greatly reduces the user experience.

[0046] In order to solve the above problems, the embodiments of the application provide a bone conduction earphone. A wearing detection device is arranged on the bone conduction earphone. The wearing detection device can detect the wearing state of the bone conduction earphone, and different signals are sent to a control chip according to the wearing state of the bone conduction earphone, so that the control chip can control the speaker to play music or pause playing music according to the different signals. In this way, the user does not need to manually control the speaker to start or pause through the key, which can effectively improve the intelligence of the bone conduction earphone, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0047] The bone conduction earphone provided by the embodiments of the application will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings.

[0048] Figure 1 The structure schematic diagram of the bone conduction earphone provided by the embodiments of the application is shown in Figure 2 The control schematic diagram of the bone conduction earphone provided by the embodiments of the application is shown in Figure 3 The structure schematic diagram of the wearing detection device provided by the embodiments of the application arranged in the bone conduction earphone is shown in

[0049] The embodiments of the application provide a bone conduction earphone 100, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the bone conduction earphone 100 can include a shell 110, and a speaker 120 and a control chip 130 located in the shell 110, wherein the control chip 130 can be electrically connected with the speaker 120, and the control chip 130 can be used to control the playing and stopping of the speaker 120. For example, the bone conduction earphone 100 can be a Bluetooth earphone, the speaker 120 can be a Bluetooth speaker, and the control chip 130 can be a Bluetooth chip.

[0050] In combination Figure 3 As shown, the bone conduction earphone 100 can further include a wearing detection device 140, at least a part of the wearing detection device 140 can be located on the shell 110, and the wearing detection device 140 can be electrically connected with the control chip 130. The wearing detection device 140 can be used to detect a wearing signal of the bone conduction earphone 100, and transmit the wearing signal to the control chip 130, and the control chip 130 can be used to control the playing or pausing of the speaker 120 according to the wearing signal.

[0051] For example, when the wearing detection device 140 detects that the bone conduction earphone 100 is in a worn state, at this time, the wearing detection device 140 can send a first signal to the control chip 130, and after the control chip 130 receives the first signal, the speaker 120 can be turned on to make the speaker 120 start playing music. Conversely, when the wearing detection device 140 detects that the bone conduction earphone 100 is in an unworn state, at this time, the wearing detection device 140 can send a second signal to the control chip 130, and after the control chip 130 receives the second signal, the speaker 120 can be turned off to make the speaker 120 pause playing music.

[0052] The embodiment of the present application can detect the wearing state of the bone conduction earphone 100 through the wearing detection device 140 arranged on the bone conduction earphone 100, so that the wearing detection device 140 can send different signals to the control chip 130 according to the wearing state of the bone conduction earphone 100, so that the control chip 130 can control the speaker 120 to play music or pause playing music according to the different signals. In this way, the user does not need to manually control the speaker 120 to start or pause through a key, which can effectively improve the intelligence of the bone conduction earphone 100, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0053] Continuing to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the wearing detection device 140 can include a signal receiving part 141 and a signal detection part 142, the signal receiving part 141 can be located on the shell 110, and the signal detection part 142 can be located in the shell 110, and the signal receiving part 141 can be signal connected with the signal detection part 142.

[0054] The signal receiving part 141 can be configured to receive the wearing signal of the bone conduction earphone 100 and transmit the wearing signal to the signal detection part 142, and the signal detection part 142 can be configured to transmit the wearing signal to the control chip 130, so that the control chip 130 can control the playing or pausing of the speaker 120 according to the wearing signal.

[0055] For example, in one possible implementation, the wearing detection device 140 can be a capacitive detection device. Referring to FIG. 1B, the wearing detection device 140 can include a signal receiving part 141 and a signal detection part 142. Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1B, the signal receiving part 141 can be a touch detection unit, for example, the touch detection unit can be a touch metal sheet, a touch flexible printed circuit (FPC), or the like, or can also be other devices capable of obtaining signals in the form of touch. The touch detection unit can be attached to the inner wall of the shell 110, and the signal detection part 142 can be a touch chip. The touch detection unit and the touch chip can be electrically connected through a metal spring needle 143.

[0056] The touch detection unit can be configured to contact the human body when the bone conduction earphone 100 is worn to cause a change in the capacitance of the touch detection unit. The touch chip can be configured to transmit a control signal to the control chip 130 according to the change in the capacitance of the touch detection unit, so that the control chip 130 controls the playing or pausing of the speaker 120 according to the control signal.

[0057] The touch detection unit can be configured to receive the wearing signal of the bone conduction earphone 100 and transmit the wearing signal to the touch chip. The touch chip can transmit a control signal to the control chip 130 according to the wearing signal of the bone conduction earphone 100, so that the control chip 130 controls the playing or pausing of the speaker 120 according to the control signal.

[0058] For example, when the user wears the bone conduction earphone 100, the human skin can contact the shell 110 of the bone conduction earphone 100, thereby causing a change in the capacitance of the touch detection unit. After the touch chip detects the change in the capacitance of the touch detection unit, the touch chip can send a signal to the control chip 130, so that the control chip 130 can control the speaker 120 to play music.

[0059] Correspondingly, when the user does not wear the bone conduction earphone 100, the human body does not contact the touch detection unit, and thus no change in the capacitance of the touch detection unit occurs. The touch chip detects that the capacitance of the touch detection unit has not changed, indicating that the bone conduction earphone 100 is not worn. Therefore, the control chip 130 can control the speaker 120 to pause playing music.

[0060] For example, the inner wall of the shell 110 can have a receiving groove (not shown in the figure), and the touch detection unit can be located in the receiving groove of the shell 110. In this way, the touch detection unit can be recessed in the inner wall of the shell 110, and the touch detection unit can be prevented from protruding from the inner surface of the shell 110, so that the inner wall of the shell 110 is more flat.

[0061] Moreover, the touch detection unit can be prevented from protruding from the inner wall of the shell 110 and falling off, and the like, and the reliability and firmness of the touch detection unit arranged in the shell 110 can be improved.

[0062] Figure 4 Another structure schematic diagram of a wearing detection device provided by an embodiment of the present application is arranged in a bone conduction earphone.

[0063] Referring to Figure 4 In another possible implementation manner, the wearing detection device 140 can also be a light sensing type detection device. For example, the signal receiving part 141 can be a light sensing lens, the light sensing lens can be located on the shell 110, and the signal receiving part 141 can be a light sensing chip.

[0064] The light sensing lens can be used to receive a wearing signal of the bone conduction earphone 100, and transmit the wearing signal to the light sensing chip. The light sensing chip can send a control signal to the control chip 130 according to the wearing signal of the bone conduction earphone 100, so that the control chip 130 controls the speaker 120 to play or pause according to the control signal.

[0065] For example, continuing to refer to Figure 4 As shown in the figure, a through hole (not shown in the figure) can be formed on the shell 110, the through hole can communicate the inside and the outside of the shell 110, and the light sensing lens (that is, the signal receiving part 141) can be located in the through hole. The light sensing chip can be used to emit light signals and project the light signals outward through the light sensing lens. For example, the light signals can be infrared light (wavelength 940 nm).

[0066] The light sensing lens can be used to receive the reflected light signals and transmit the reflected light signals to the light sensing chip. The light sensing chip can be used to send a detection signal to the control chip 130 according to the change between the emitted light signals and the received light signals, so that the control chip 130 controls the speaker 120 to play or pause according to the detection signal.

[0067] For example, the light sensing chip can emit infrared light. When the user wears the bone conduction earphone 100, the infrared light emitted by the light sensing chip can pass through the light sensing lens and be projected on the user's skin. After the infrared light is reflected by the skin, the infrared light can pass through the light sensing lens again and be projected on the light sensing chip.

[0068] At this time, the light sensing chip can determine that the bone conduction earphone 100 is in the wearing state according to the change between the emitted infrared light and the received infrared light,

[0069] On the contrary, when the user does not wear the bone conduction earphone 100, the infrared light emitted by the light sensing chip is not reflected by the human body, at this time, the light sensing chip can detect that the bone conduction earphone 100 is not worn, and can send a detection signal to the control chip to make the control chip 130 control the speaker 120 to pause the music according to the detection signal.

[0070] Continuing to refer to Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the bone conduction earphone 100 can include a circuit housing 111, an ear hook 150, and a speaker assembly 160. One end of the ear hook 150 can be connected to the circuit housing 111, and the other end can be connected to the speaker assembly 160. The speaker 120 can be located in the speaker assembly 160, and the control chip 130 and the signal detection part 142 can be located in the circuit housing 111. The signal receiving part 141 can be located at the end face of the circuit housing 111 close to the ear hook 150.

[0071] For example, the circuit housing 111 can also be provided with a mainboard and a battery. The side of the circuit housing 111 can be understood as the two side wall surfaces with the largest area of the circuit housing 111. The upper and lower end surfaces of the circuit housing 111 can be understood as the two side wall surfaces of the upper and lower surfaces of the circuit housing 111. The rear end of the circuit housing 111 can be understood as the side wall surface close to the rear hook of the circuit housing 111. The front end surface of the circuit housing 111 can be understood as the side wall surface close to the ear hook of the circuit housing 111, that is, when the user wears the bone conduction earphone, the front end surface of the circuit housing 111 contacts or is close to the back of the user's ear. The signal receiving part 141 can be understood as being arranged at the front end surface of the circuit housing 111.

[0072] In this way, when the user wears the bone conduction earphone 100, the end surface of the circuit housing 111 close to the ear hook 150 can contact the back of the user's ear, thereby triggering the signal detection part 142, so that the signal detection part 142 can detect the wearing signal of the bone conduction earphone 100. This can effectively improve the accuracy of the wearing detection device 140 detection, and can make the bone conduction earphone 100 accurately control the speaker 120 according to the user's wearing condition, thereby effectively improving the user experience.
