The terms used in the specification of the present application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 The embodiment of the present application provides an earphone, which comprises a sound producing component 100 and an ear hook 200 connected with the sound producing component 100, wherein the ear hook 200 is connected with the sound producing component 100, and the ear hook 200 is used to be placed on the ear of a user to fix the relative position of the earphone 1 and the ear of the user.

[0034] Among them, the earphone 1 is an open earphone, for example, a lobe open earphone, a hanging ear open earphone and an air conduction earphone, etc. In some open earphones, the ear hook 200 can be installed with a battery, the battery supplies power for the sound producing component 100, and the sound producing component 100 can have a loudspeaker structure for transmitting sound to the ear of the user.

[0035] In some open earphones, such as open earphones of earlobe type, the earphone 1 can further include a battery compartment 300, one end of the ear hook 200 is connected with the battery compartment 300, and the other end of the ear hook 200 is connected with the sound generating component 100. The inside of the battery compartment 300 is provided with a battery, and the battery supplies power for the sound generating component 100. The embodiments of the present application are exemplarily described by taking the earphone 1 as an open earphone of earlobe type.

[0036] The sound generating component 100 in the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] Please refer to FIGS. 2 to Figure 3 The sound generating component 100 includes a main body 110 and an additional part 120. The main body 110 is connected with the ear hook 200, and the additional part 120 is detachably connected with the main body 110. The side of the additional part 120 away from the main body 110 has a decoration area 120a. The user can set various styles in the decoration area 120a, so that the entire earphone 1 has various styles, giving the user more choices and meeting the user's needs. The detachable connection between the additional part 120 and the main body 110 can enable the user to remove the additional part 120, thereby facilitating the user to replace the style of the additional part 120.

[0038] In some embodiments, one earphone 1 can include one additional part 120, or can include multiple additional parts 120. When the earphone 1 includes one additional part 120, various styles can be set in the decoration area 120a of the additional part 120. Specifically, some decoration accessories can be connected to the decoration area 120a of the additional part 120 by means of adhesion, magnetic attraction or buckling, etc. Due to the use of adhesion, magnetic attraction or buckling, etc., the decoration area 120a of the additional part 120 can be replaced with different decoration accessories, thereby giving the user more choices. The detachable connection between the additional part 120 and the main body 110 can more conveniently enable different decoration accessories to be installed on the additional part 120.

[0039] When the earphone 1 includes multiple additional parts 120, each additional part 120 can be provided with a different style, i.e., each additional part 120 can be integrally designed with a corresponding decoration accessory. In this way, when the style of the earphone 1 is replaced, only the corresponding additional part 120 needs to be installed on the main body 110, without worrying about the decoration accessory falling off or being damaged, thereby increasing the product competitiveness.

[0040] There are various ways for the detachable connection between the main body 110 and the additional part 120, such as threaded connection, buckling connection, magnetic attraction connection and adhesion, etc. In some embodiments, the magnetic attraction connection between the main body 110 and the additional part 120 is exemplarily described.

[0041] The main body 110 and the additional part 120 are quickly connected and disconnected by magnetic force, without the need for additional tools or complex operations, significantly improving the convenience of use, and the magnetic force automatically aligns the main body 110 and the additional part 120, avoiding the misalignment or installation difficulty that may occur in traditional connection methods.

[0042] In addition, the magnetic connection design allows the additional part 120 to be easily disassembled and replaced, facilitating cleaning and maintenance, and on the other hand, magnetic connection generally does not require additional space to accommodate fasteners or connection mechanisms, allowing the earphone 1 to be designed small.

[0043] In one embodiment, the additional part 120 has magnetism, the main body 110 has a first cavity 110a formed therein, and the first cavity 110a is provided with a first magnetic part 111. The additional part 120 is magnetically connected to the main body 110 by the first magnetic part 111, i.e. the additional part 120 has a magnetic metal (such as iron, nickel, cobalt, etc.), and the first magnetic part 111 can be a magnet. The magnet is fixed in the first cavity 110a relative to the main body 110, and the magnet and the additional part 120 with magnetic metal are attracted to each other, allowing the additional part 120 and the main body 110 to be connected together. Through the magnetic connection, the wear degree of the main body 110 and the additional part 120 is relatively low, and long-term stability and reliability can be maintained.

[0044] In another embodiment, the main body 110 can also have magnetism, and the additional part 120 has a second cavity (not shown in the figure) with a second magnetic part (not shown in the figure) disposed therein. The second magnetic part can also be a magnet. In this way, the additional part 120 and the main body 110 are connected together through the magnetic attraction between the second magnetic part and the main body 110.

[0045] In other embodiments, the additional part 120 can also have a second cavity with a second magnetic part disposed therein, and the main body 110 has a first cavity 110a formed therein with a first magnetic part 111 disposed therein. The additional part 120 is magnetically connected to the main body 110 by the first magnetic part 111 and the second magnetic part. In this case, the additional part 120 and the main body 110 both contain magnetic parts, so they can produce stronger magnetic attraction between them, ensuring the firmness of the connection. In addition, by reasonably designing the positions and strengths of the first magnetic part 111 and the second magnetic part, the magnetic force distribution can be balanced, and the instability problem caused by uneven magnetic force can be reduced.

[0046] To improve the stability of the main body 110 and the attachment 120 in the connected state, one of the main body 110 and the attachment 120 is provided with a groove 110b, and the other of the main body 110 and the attachment 120 is provided with a protrusion 122. When the main body 110 and the attachment 120 are connected, the protrusion 122 is embedded in the groove 110b. In this embodiment, the main body 110 is provided with a groove 110b and the attachment 120 is provided with a protrusion 122 for illustrative purposes.

[0047] The way in which the protrusion 122 is embedded in the groove 110b makes it difficult for the protrusion 122 to move relative to the groove 110b by pulling it out. Based on the magnetic connection between the main body 110 and the attachment 120, the connection between the main body 110 and the attachment 120 is more stable.

[0048] On the other hand, the positioning function can also be achieved through the cooperation of the groove 110b and the protrusion 122, which helps the main body 110 and the attachment 120 to automatically align during the connection process, reduce installation errors, and improve the accuracy and stability of the connection.

[0049] The cross-section of the groove 110b can be circular, square, rectangular or other irregular shapes to adapt to different connection requirements and space constraints.

[0050] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 The attachment 120 includes a body 121 and a protrusion 122. The body 110 has a groove 110b. When the protrusion 122 is inserted into the groove 110b, the body 121 fits against the body 110, and the surface of the body 121 smoothly transitions to the surface of the body 110. Thus, installation can be completed simply by aligning the protrusion 122 with the groove 110b and pushing it in. Furthermore, when the attachment 120 is magnetically connected to the body 110, quick installation can be achieved without additional fasteners or tools.

[0051] When the protrusion 122 is inserted into the groove 110b, the surface of the body 121 and the surface of the main body 110 can be smoothly connected without obvious gaps or protrusions, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the product. Similarly, since the surface of the body 121 and the surface of the main body 110 can be smoothly connected, the gap between the attachment 120 and the main body 110 is smaller, reducing the probability of dust and other impurities entering.

[0052] Understandably, in order to allow the protrusion 122 to be quickly inserted into the groove 110b, the cross-sectional area of ​​the groove 110b gradually decreases along the depth direction of the groove 110b, that is, the groove wall can form a flow guiding structure. The flow guiding structure can guide the protrusion 122 to be smoothly inserted into the groove 110b along a specific path, thereby improving the speed of connection between the main body 110 and the attachment 120.

[0053] In some embodiments, an elastic member 1221 may be provided on the outer side wall of the protrusion 122 or the inner side wall of the groove 110b. Through the elastic member 1221, after the protrusion 122 is embedded into the groove 110b, the elastic member 1221 can abut against the outer side wall of the protrusion 122 or the inner side wall of the groove 110b, thereby reducing the possibility of the protrusion 122 loosening or falling out in the groove 110b and enhancing the stability of the connection between the attachment 120 and the main body 110.

[0054] In this embodiment of the application, an elastic element 1221 is provided on the outer side wall of the protrusion 122 for illustrative purposes. The elastic element 1221 can be a metal sheet or an elastic rubber ring, etc. When the elastic element 1221 is an elastic rubber ring, the outer side wall of the protrusion 122 is recessed inward to form a mounting groove. The elastic rubber ring can be fitted into the mounting groove. After the protrusion 122 is embedded into the groove 110b, the elastic rubber ring deforms and can abut against the inner side wall of the groove 110b and the outer side wall of the protrusion 122, thereby reducing the possibility of the protrusion 122 loosening or falling off in the groove 110b, and thus enhancing the stability of the connection between the attachment 120 and the main body 110.

[0055] In addition, the elastic rubber ring can also play a certain sealing role, thereby reducing the possibility of dust and liquid entering the main body 110.

[0056] In some embodiments, one of the attachment 120 and the main body 110 is provided with a snap-fit ​​portion and the other is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove, and the snap-fit ​​portion snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0057] The precise fit between the snap-fit ​​part and the snap-fit ​​groove ensures accurate positioning of the attachment 120 during installation, allowing the decorative area 120a of the attachment 120 to be fully displayed and conforming to the user's aesthetic preferences.

[0058] It is understood that the attachment 120 may be provided with a snap-fit ​​part and the main body 110 may be provided with a snap-fit ​​groove; or the attachment 120 may be provided with a snap-fit ​​groove and the main body 110 may be provided with a snap-fit ​​part; or the attachment 120 may be provided with both a snap-fit ​​part and a snap-fit ​​groove and the main body 110 may be provided with both a corresponding snap-fit ​​groove and a snap-fit ​​part. No specific limitations are made in the embodiments of this application.

[0059] The snap-fit ​​part can be a tongue-shaped structure or a hook-shaped structure, etc. In addition, multiple snap-fit ​​parts can be provided, and correspondingly, multiple snap-fit ​​slots are also provided. By having the snap-fit ​​parts and snap-fit ​​slots correspond one-to-one, the stability of the connection between the attachment 120 and the main body 110 can be improved through multi-point positioning.

[0060] In some embodiments, when the main body 110 is connected to the attachment 120, the outer contour surface of the sound-emitting component 100 is a curved surface. The curved surface can be an elliptical surface, a spherical surface, or a near-spherical surface. Curved surface designs are generally more streamlined and modern, which can enhance the overall aesthetics and design of the product, thereby improving the product competitiveness of the headphones 1.

[0061] On the other hand, since the outer contour surface of the sound-generating component 100 is curved, the curved surface design makes the edges of the sound-generating component 100 smoother and reduces sharp or protruding parts. This design physically reduces the risk of injury when in contact with the human body, especially for users who can easily access the sound-generating component 100, such as children.

[0062] In some embodiments, when the earphone 1 is an open-back earphone, one end of the ear hook 200 is connected to the sound-generating component 100, and the other end of the ear hook 200 is connected to the battery compartment 300. The ear hook 200 is elastic, which allows the battery compartment 300 to fit the user's earlobe. In this state, the accessory 120 is located on the side of the ear away from the ear canal opening, and the decorative area 120a can also be exposed.

[0063] Specifically, the ear hook 200 includes an outer shell and a wire. The outer shell is made of an elastic material, such as silicone, liquid silicone, TPU (Thermoplastic Urethane), TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer), TPSIV (Thermoplastic Silicone Vulcanizate), or fluoropolymer. The outer shell forms a wire cavity, and the wire is located inside the wire cavity. One end of the wire is electrically connected to the battery compartment 300, and the other end of the wire is electrically connected to the sound-generating component 100. The wire transmits the power from the battery in the battery compartment 300 to the sound-generating component 100.

[0064] In some embodiments, the ear hook 200 may also be provided with a shape memory metal component (not shown in the figure) to support the outer shell. The shape memory metal component can be titanium wire, nickel-titanium alloy wire, copper-zinc alloy wire, copper-aluminum-nickel alloy wire, copper-molybdenum-nickel alloy wire, or copper-gold-zinc alloy wire, etc. In this way, the shape memory metal component can support the shape of the outer shell and prevent the outer shell from deforming under stress.

[0065] According to the embodiments of this application, the ear hook 200 uses an elastic material to make its outer shell. When the ear hook 200 is worn on the user's ear, the elastic deformation of the outer shell can absorb some of the pressure, improving wearing comfort. Furthermore, the curve of the ear hook 200 is generally pre-designed to conform to ergonomic dimensions, providing good wearing comfort and high stability. A memory metal component is incorporated within the outer shell, which helps support the shape of the shell, preventing deformation under stress and ensuring that the curve of the ear hook 200 conforms to the intended setting, thus guaranteeing both wearing comfort and stability.

[0066] In this embodiment, when the earphone 1 is worn on the user's ear via the ear hook 200, the ear hook 200 extends along the intertragus notch to the back of the earlobe, allowing the battery compartment 300 to fit snugly against the earlobe. There is a gap between the ear hook 200 and the user's earlobe, with the gap size being 1-5mm, specifically 1mm, 2mm, and 5mm, which avoids contact with the auricle and prevents pain caused by prolonged clamping of the auricular cartilage.
