[0022] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application or the prior art, specific embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present application, and for those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained from these drawings without creative labor, and other embodiments can also be obtained.
[0023] Reference Figure 1 And Figure 3 According to the ear-hanging and ear-clamping dual-purpose Bluetooth earphone of a preferred embodiment of the present application, the earphone comprises a loudspeaker bin 1, a battery bin 2 and a soft rubber strip 3, and the loudspeaker bin 1 and the battery bin 2 are connected through the soft rubber strip 3.
[0024] The loudspeaker bin 1 is used for inputting sound into the ear canal of a user, and the loudspeaker bin 1 has a structure that is adapted to the human pinna, for example, a circular ring shape, an oval shape, a track shape, a polygonal shape (regular or irregular), a U shape, a V shape, a semicircular shape, etc., which are regular or irregular shapes, and are not limited herein.
[0025] A loudspeaker 12 is arranged in the loudspeaker bin 1, and the loudspeaker 12 can convert electrical signals into corresponding mechanical vibrations to generate sound. An acoustic hole 11 is formed on the side of the loudspeaker bin 1 that faces the pinna, and the acoustic hole 11 is coupled with the diaphragm of the loudspeaker 12 through an acoustic cavity. The sound emitted by the vibration of the diaphragm of the loudspeaker 12 is transmitted to the outside through the acoustic cavity and the acoustic hole 11. At the same time, since the acoustic hole 11 is close to the ear canal, the loudspeaker effect can be formed by using the reflected sound effect of the concha cavity, so that the sound effect is more excellent, and the user's experience is improved. In addition, the other side (for example, the side away from or facing away from the ear canal of the user) of the loudspeaker bin 1 is provided with one or more sound leakage holes (not shown), which are farther away from the ear canal than the acoustic hole 11. The sound transmitted through the sound leakage hole can form a sound leakage in the far field, which is conducive to reducing the sound leakage of the earphone in the far field, thereby improving the sound quality effect. In addition, a waterproof and breathable film can also be arranged at the sound leakage hole to make the sound leakage hole have better waterproof effect.
[0026] A battery 21 is arranged in the battery bin 2, and the battery 21 and the loudspeaker 12 are electrically connected with a main board 13. The above-mentioned components can be powered by the battery 21. The installation position of the main board 13 can be arranged in the loudspeaker bin 1 or the battery bin 2, which is not limited herein, and is preferably arranged in the loudspeaker bin 1, so that a larger volume of battery can be accommodated in the battery bin 2, which helps to increase the battery capacity and improve the endurance of the earphone.
[0027] The soft rubber strip 3 adopts a flexible structure, so that the earphone has an ear-clamping state and an ear-hanging state. In the ear-clamping state, as shown in FIG. 1, the soft rubber strip 3 is arranged on the pinna of the user, and the loudspeaker bin 1 is clamped on the pinna of the user. Figure 2As shown, the soft rubber strip 3 is partially wound on the battery compartment 2 and cooperates with the horn compartment 1 to form an ear clamping space for clamping the user's pinna during use. In the ear clamping state, as shown in Figure 3 As shown, the soft rubber strip 3 is fully expanded and can have an arc-shaped structure suitable for the user's pinna to be hung on the user's pinna. For example, the expanded soft rubber strip 3 can have an arc-shaped structure suitable for the user's head and ear junction, and the soft rubber strip 3 can wrap around the ear from the front side of the ear to the back side of the ear along the pinna, thereby being hung between the user's pinna and head.
[0028] The soft rubber strip 3 includes a first section 31 and a second section 32 connected to each other. The first section 31 connects the horn compartment 1 and the second section 32, and the first section 31 includes a hard rubber body 311 and a soft rubber body 312. The hard rubber body 311 is connected to the horn compartment 1 and has a hard structure to ensure that the earphone can be firmly clamped or hung on the ear. The soft rubber body 312 is made of a plastic material that can be elastically deformed after molding and can be deformed under external force. In the ear clamping state of the earphone, the first section 21 has a "C" shaped structure and has a strong clamping force, which can make the earphone structure more firmly clamped on the pinna (the outer wheel of the user's concha cavity and the back side of the ear), preventing the earphone structure from falling off.
[0029] The flexible body 312 can also be provided with a memory wire or a spring strip, and the user can set the corresponding structure in the flexible body according to the bending requirements. For example, the flexible body 312 is provided with a memory wire 313, and the memory wire 313 and the hard rubber body 311 can be connected into one body by injection molding, hot melting, glue, and glue pouring, and then injection molding is performed to form the soft rubber body 312 on the memory wire 313 and the hard rubber body 311.
[0030] The elastic deformation of the memory wire 313 can allow the earphone to be better hung on the pinna. The memory wire 313 needs to have a shape memory effect to adapt to the shapes of pinnae of different users. The material of the memory wire 313 can be selected from any one or more of carbon spring steel, low manganese spring steel, silicon manganese spring steel, stainless steel, elastic copper alloy, nickel-titanium alloy material, gold-cadmium alloy material, indium-tin alloy material, etc., which is not specifically limited here.
[0031] One end of the second section 32 is fixedly connected to the battery compartment 2, and the second section 32 can be completely wound around the battery compartment 2. The second section is partially or entirely a flexible structure that can be extended and retracted, for example, the material can be rubber material with certain plasticity and elasticity. Through the cooperation of the second section 32 and the first section 31, the speaker compartment 1 can provide a pressing force to the front side of the user's ear, ensuring the comfort and stability of wearing. In addition, in order to ensure the structural stability of the second section 32 on the battery compartment 2 in the clamping ear state, prevent the second section 32 from detaching from the battery compartment 2, a receiving groove is provided on the outer side of the battery compartment 2, and the second section 32 can be clamped in the receiving groove. It can be understood that, under the premise that the size of the receiving groove does not change, the greater the wrapping angle of the second section 32, the longer the second section 32 after being completely unfolded. In this embodiment, the wrapping angle of the second section 32 is 200°-300°, preferably 240°.
[0032] The second section 32 can also be provided with a memory metal sheet. When the earphone is in the hanging ear state, the memory metal sheet has an arch-shaped structure. The bending resistance generated by the arch-shaped structure of the memory metal sheet can hinder the rolling of the memory metal sheet, so that the memory metal sheet can support the second section 32 from bending. When it is necessary to clamp the earphone on the auricle, the second section 32 can be gently touched. The arch-shaped structure of the memory metal sheet in the second section 32 is destroyed, triggering the rolling of the memory metal sheet. The memory metal sheet drives the second section 32 to curl, so that the earphone changes from the hanging ear state to the clamping ear state. The inner walls of the clamping ear space formed by the soft rubber strip 3 and the speaker compartment 1 on the opposite sides respectively clamp the outer wheel of the concha cavity and the back side of the ear, preventing the earphone from falling outwards. At the same time, the helix and the antihelix act as support points of the earphone, and through two-point support, the stress points of the ear and the prevention of the earphone from falling down are dispersed.
[0033] In this way, the elastic performance of the memory metal sheet can realize the quick switching of the wearing mode. When the user needs to switch from the hanging ear type to the clamping ear type, the second section 32 will quickly curl and wind around the battery compartment 1. The memory metal sheet material can be selected from any one or more of carbon spring steel, low manganese spring steel, silicon manganese spring steel, chromium vanadium steel, stainless steel, elastic copper alloy, nickel titanium alloy material, gold-cadmium alloy material, indium-tin alloy material, etc., which is not specifically limited here.
[0034] In order to compactly store the earphone in the storage box, the loudspeaker compartment 1 and the battery compartment 2 can also be connected by magnetic attraction. The loudspeaker compartment 1 and the battery compartment 2 can be repeatedly attracted and separated without reducing the attraction, and have a longer service life. For example, the loudspeaker compartment 1 contains a first magnetic attraction member, and the battery compartment 2 is provided with a second magnetic attraction member. The first magnetic attraction member and the second magnetic attraction member can generate a magnetic attraction force, thereby fixing the loudspeaker compartment 1 and the battery compartment 2 together. The first magnetic attraction member and the loudspeaker compartment 1, and the second magnetic attraction member and the battery compartment 2 can be fixed by point gluing, double-sided adhesive fixing, clamping fixing, screw fixing, etc., which are not limited here.
[0035] The first magnetic attraction member and the second magnetic attraction member can be magnets, and the polarities of the first magnetic attraction member and the second magnetic attraction member are opposite, so they can attract each other. For example, the polarity of the first magnetic attraction member is N, and the polarity of the second magnetic attraction member is S, or the polarity of the first magnetic attraction member is S, and the polarity of the second magnetic attraction member is N. In this way, the loudspeaker compartment 1 and the battery compartment 2 are fixed together by using the principle of magnetic attraction of opposite poles. It can be understood that in some other embodiments, only one of the first magnetic attraction member and the second magnetic attraction member is provided with a magnet with magnetic properties, and the other can be formed of a material that can be attracted by a magnet, such as one or more of iron, cobalt, and nickel.
[0036] It should be noted that the above embodiments can be freely combined as needed. The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the principles of the present application, a number of improvements and refinements can be made, which should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present application.
