[0035] Currently, headphones have become an indispensable electronic product in people's lives and work. The main design concept of OWS headphones is to "liberate the ears," providing a fully open-ear listening experience. Furthermore, OWS headphones do not go into the ear, reducing ear canal pressure and making them suitable for extended wear and exercise. The open-ear design allows users to perceive ambient sounds in real time while wearing the headphones, improving safety. At the same time, the non-in-ear design reduces the chance of bacterial growth and ear infections.

[0036] OWS earbuds feature an ear-hook design, allowing them to be gently placed on the ears without being fully inserted into the ear canal. This design makes them more comfortable to wear and reduces discomfort from prolonged use. However, due to their open-back design, especially the clip-on style, they can be less convenient to wear.

[0037] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the overall structure of the earphone 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 2 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the exploded structure of the headphone 100. (See diagram below.) Figure 1 and 2 As shown, this utility model proposes an earphone 100. The earphone 100 of this utility model includes an earphone body 10 and an ear hook assembly. The ear hook assembly includes a first hook 21, a second hook 22, and a connector 23. One of the first hook 21 and the second hook 22 is connected to the earphone body 10. The connector 23 is connected to both the first hook 21 and the second hook 22. At least one of the first hook 21 and the second hook 22 is rotatably connected to the connector 23 so that the first hook 21 and the second hook 22 can swing relative to each other. At least one of the first hook 21 and the second hook 22 is elastically connected to the connector 23.

[0038] According to the technical solution of this utility model, at least one of the first hanging body 21 and the second hanging body 22 is rotatably connected to the connecting member 23. Since at least one of the first hanging body 21 and the second hanging body 22 is elastically connected to the connecting member 23, when the user wears the headphones, the first hanging body 21 or the second hanging body 22 can be rotated first, and then the headphone body 10 can be reset through the elastic connection, which improves the convenience of wearing the open-back headphones 100.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the earphone body 10 can be connected to either the first hook 21 or the second hook 22. Since at least one of the first hook 21 and the second hook 22 is rotatably connected to the connector 23, the earphone body 10 connected to the first hook 21 can rotate relative to the second hook 22, or the earphone body 10 connected to the second hook 22 can rotate relative to the first hook 21. During the user's wearing process, one hook connected to the earphone body 10 can be rotated first, and then the other hook can be worn. Then, the earphone body 10 is reset by the elastic connection, thus completing the process of wearing the earphone 100 as a whole.

[0040] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 and 7 As shown, the connector 23 includes a first connecting portion 231 and a second connecting portion 232. The opposite ends of the first connecting portion 231 are connected to the second hanging body 22 and the second connecting portion 232, respectively. The second connecting portion 232 is connected to the first hanging body 21 via an elastic element 24. In this embodiment, one end of the first connecting portion 231 is fixedly connected to the second hanging body 22, and the other end of the first connecting portion 231 is fixedly connected to the second connecting portion 232. The second connecting portion 232 is connected to the first hanging body 21 via the elastic element 24. The earphone body 10 is connected to the end of the first hanging body 21 that is opposite to the second hanging body 22. In this embodiment, the elastic element 24 is a spring. When the first hanging body 21 rotates relative to the second hanging body 22, the elastic element 24 can reset the first hanging body 21, thereby achieving the clamping of the first hanging body 21 and the second hanging body 22 onto the ear.

[0041] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and 4As shown, a first groove 211 is provided on one end face of the first hanging body 21 facing the second hanging body 22. A second connecting part 232 is located inside the first groove 211, and the first connecting part 231 is inserted into the first groove 211. A protrusion 212 is provided inside the first groove 211. An elastic member 24 is bent along the swing direction, and both ends of the elastic member 24 are connected to the protrusion 212 and the second connecting part 232, respectively. In this embodiment, the first groove 211 can be engaged with the first connecting part 231, and rotation between the first hanging body 21 and the first connecting part 231 about the axis of the first connecting part 231 can be realized. The first groove 211 can also accommodate the elastic element 24 and the second connecting part 232, so that one end of the elastic element 24 can be connected to the protrusion 212 and the other end of the elastic element 24 can be connected to the second connecting part 232. When the first hanging body 21 rotates around the axis of the first connecting part 231, the first hanging body 21 can drive the bent elastic element 24 to deform. Since the other end of the elastic element 24 is connected to the second connecting part 232, after the force applied to the first hanging body 21 is removed, the first hanging body 21 can be reset under the elastic force of the elastic element 24, so that the first hanging body 21 and the second hanging body 22 return to their initial state, which makes it convenient for the ear hook assembly to fix the ear.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, the end of the protrusion 212 facing the second connecting part 232 abuts against the second connecting part 232, and during the rotation of the first hanging body 21, the protrusion 212 always abuts against the second connecting part 232. This can prevent the elastic member 24 from losing connection with the second connecting part 232 and sliding out from the gap between the second connecting part 232 and the protrusion 212. It can also prevent the elastic member 24 from losing connection with the protrusion 212 and sliding out from the gap between the second connecting part 232 and the protrusion 212. Both of these situations may cause the elastic member 24 to lose the linkage relationship between the protrusion 212 and the second connecting part 232, thereby affecting the reset capability between the first hanging body 21 and the second hanging body 22.

[0043] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 and 6 As shown, the protruding platform 212 has a first curved surface 21211 on the side facing the second connecting portion 232, and the second connecting portion 232 has a second curved surface 2321 on the side facing the protruding platform 212. The first curved surface 21211 and the second curved surface 2321 fit together. In this embodiment, the fit between the first curved surface 21211 and the second curved surface 2321 allows for smoother rotation and engagement between the protruding platform 212 and the second connecting portion 232 when the first hanging body 21 and the second hanging body 22 rotate relative to each other, without any jamming.

[0044] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6As shown, the raised platform 212 includes a third connecting portion 2122 and a positioning portion 2121 connected together. The positioning portion 2121 is located between the second connecting portion 232 and the third connecting portion 2122. The side of the positioning portion 2121 facing the second connecting portion 232 has a first curved surface 21211, and the side of the first connecting portion 231 facing the first hanging body 21 is provided with a positioning groove 2313. The positioning portion 2121 and the positioning groove 2313 are inserted into each other. In this embodiment, the insertion and engagement of the positioning portion 2121 and the positioning groove 2313, which can rotate around the axis of the first connecting portion 231, can further ensure the accuracy of the raised platform 212 during rotation. The positioning portion 2121 is used to realize the positioning operation of the entire raised platform 212, thereby improving reliability.

[0045] In some embodiments of this utility model, the axis of the positioning part 2121 and the axis of the first connecting part 231 are arranged to coincide, which enables the positioning part 2121 to rotate around the axis of the first connecting part 231 when the first hanging body 21 rotates, ensuring that the positioning part 2121 will not deviate in other directions during the rotation process, thereby affecting the fit and contact with the second connecting part 232 and improving reliability.

[0046] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the axis of the first connecting part 231 and the axis of the second connecting part 232 are spaced apart and parallel. This arrangement enables the second connecting part 232 to be located outside the positioning part 2121 and to be symmetrically arranged with respect to the positioning part 2121 and the third connecting part 2122. This allows the elastic member 24 to be located circumferentially to the positioning part 2121 and to be connected to the third connecting part 2122 and the second connecting part 232 respectively, ensuring the bending arrangement of the elastic member 24 and its linkage with the first hanging body 21 and the second hanging body 22.

[0047] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 and 6 As shown, an annular boss 2311 is provided on the outer circumferential side of the first connecting part 231, and an annular groove 213 is provided on the circumferential sidewall of the first groove 211. The annular boss 2311 and the annular groove 213 are engaged. In this embodiment, the engagement between the connecting member 23 and the first hanging body 21 is an engagement. Positioning and fixing are achieved through the engagement of the annular groove 213 and the annular boss 2311, thus improving reliability.

[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, the annular boss 2311 is an annular structure and the annular groove 213 is also an annular structure. The fit between the annular boss 2311 and the annular groove 213 increases the contact area, thereby enabling a more stable connection between the first hanger 21 and the connector 23, preventing movement along the axial and radial directions of the first connecting part 231, and only supporting rotation around the axial direction of the first connecting part 231.

[0049] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first connecting portion 231 is a cylinder, and at least one slit 2312 is provided circumferentially in the first connecting portion 231, with the slit 2312 arranged radially along the first connecting portion 231. In this embodiment, when the first connecting portion 231 engages with the first groove 211, the presence of the slit 2312 allows the circumferential dimension of the first connecting portion 231 to decrease under compression, thereby making it easier to engage with the first groove 211, improving assembly convenience and work efficiency.

[0050] In some embodiments of this utility model, a second groove is provided on the end face of the second hanging body 22 facing the first hanging body 21, and the first connecting part 231 engages with the second groove. In this embodiment, the outer peripheral surface of the first connecting part 231 engages with both the first groove 211 and the second groove, which can simultaneously fix the first hanging body 21 and the second hanging body 22. The engagement does not require fasteners or tools, simplifying the installation process and improving assembly efficiency.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the first connecting part 231 engages with the second groove, the presence of the gap 2312 allows the circumferential dimension of the first connecting part 231 to decrease under compression, making it easier to engage with the second groove and improving the ease of assembly and work efficiency.

[0052] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first connecting part 231, the second connecting part 232, and the second hanging body 22 are integrally formed. In this embodiment, the above-mentioned arrangement can also achieve a fixed connection between the second hanging body 22 and the connecting part 23. The connecting part 23 is inserted into the first groove 211 of the first hanging body 21, thereby realizing the connection between the connecting part 23, the second hanging body 22, and the first hanging body 21.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, the connector 23 can also be connected to the second hanger 22 by adhesive bonding, which can also achieve the fixation of the second hanger 22 and the connector 23.

[0054] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the wearing method of the earphone 100 is as follows: when the earphone 100 is put into the ear, rotating the second hanging body 22 can simultaneously drive the connector 23 to rotate relative to the first hanging body 21. Then, the second connecting part 232 of the connector 23 compresses the arc spring to generate pre-pressure. After the earphone 100 is worn, the hand that rotated the second hanging body 22 is released. At this time, the second hanging body 22 will return to its original position under the pre-pressure of the arc spring, realizing the automatic wearing of the earphone 100 and improving the convenience of wearing.

[0055] By using the earphone 100 of this invention, the OWS earphone 100 can be quickly and comfortably worn. The built-in arc-shaped spring automatically returns to its original position after the user releases their hand, improving wearing efficiency while providing a premium level of comfort, greatly enhancing user comfort and convenience.

[0056] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
