[0030] Reference is made to the accompanying drawings Figures 1-7 As shown in the drawings, an over-ear earphone, comprising:

[0031] The first cavity 100 is located in the concha cavity and is in close contact with the concha cavity for fixation. The first cavity 100 is in contact with the tragus and the counter-tragus to ensure fixation. The first cavity 100 is designed to be in close contact with the concha cavity and is usually located in the area of the entrance of the ear canal. During the wearing process of the earphone, the first cavity 100 matches the natural curvature of the concha cavity through its shape, thereby achieving stable fixation. Specifically, the shape of the first cavity 100 is optimized to fit the shape of the concha cavity, ensuring that the earphone will not slip off due to external activities such as running, jumping, etc. In order to ensure the stability during wearing, the first cavity 100 not only closely contacts the concha cavity, but also contacts the tragus and the counter-tragus. The tragus is a protruding part of the external auditory canal of the ear, and the counter-tragus is a structure symmetrical to the tragus, usually located on the opposite side of the ear. This design enables the first cavity 100 to be stably fixed at the entrance of the ear, enhancing the wearing stability of the earphone.

[0032] The second cavity 200 is located in the postaural sulcus and the back of the ear and is in close contact with the back of the ear to prevent rotation of the first cavity 100 and the connecting piece. The second cavity 200 is located in the postaural sulcus and the back of the ear, and its main function is to prevent the rotation of the first cavity 100 and the arc-shaped connecting part 300 through contact with the back of the ear. The shape of the second cavity 200 is precisely designed to adapt to the natural shape of the postaural sulcus and the back of the ear. Due to the curvature of the back of the ear area, the second cavity 200 can effectively form close contact with the back of the ear and provide additional support to prevent unnecessary movement or falling of the earphone during exercise. Through this design, the second cavity 200 not only enhances the stability of the earphone, but also avoids the pressure concentration of traditional earphones at the ear canal, thereby improving the comfort of wearing.

[0033] The arc-shaped connecting part 300 connects the first cavity 100 and the second cavity 200 and is configured to make the first cavity 100 in close contact with the concha cavity while limiting the rotation of the earphone. The arc-shaped connecting part 300 is a key component of the present application, which connects the first cavity 100 and the second cavity 200 to form an integral fixing system. The arc-shaped connecting part 300 adopts a curved shape, and through reasonable angle and curvature, it ensures the stable contact of the first cavity 100 with the concha cavity and effectively limits the rotation of the earphone. Specifically, the arc-shaped connecting part 300 is designed to naturally extend between the tragus and the post-aural area when worn. Due to its special arc-shaped structure, the arc-shaped connecting part 300 can uniformly distribute the stress and avoid displacement of the earphone caused by gravity or movement.

[0034] Through the above design, the over-ear earphone of the present application not only realizes good wearing stability, but also avoids the compression of the traditional earphone on the ear canal and pinna part, improving the comfort of wearing. The cooperation between the first cavity 100, the second cavity 200 and the arc-shaped connecting part 300 makes the earphone more reliable when fixed, while avoiding displacement of the earphone caused by rotation or external force, ensuring the reliability of the earphone in different activity scenarios.

[0035] In the present embodiment, the arc-shaped connecting part 300 connects the first cavity 100 and the second cavity 200 to form a gap 310 between the first cavity 100 and the second cavity 200; when the earphone is worn, the arc-shaped connecting part 300 extends along the intertragic notch to make the earlobe located in the gap. The shape and structure of the arc-shaped connecting part 300 are carefully designed to ensure that when connecting the first cavity 100 and the second cavity 200, not only the overall structure of the earphone is stable, but also an appropriate gap is formed in the ear when the earphone is worn. The main function of this gap design is to ensure that the earphone can adapt to the natural space between the earlobe and the tragus, thereby avoiding the uncomfortable compression of the earphone. When the earphone is worn, the arc-shaped connecting part 300 extends along the intertragic notch to make the earlobe located in the gap. The key of this design is that the arc-shaped connecting part 300 can extend along the intertragic notch between the natural curve of the tragus and the earlobe, ensuring that the structure of the earphone fits the pinna and does not exert excessive pressure on the earlobe. The extension of the arc-shaped connecting part 300 between the tragus and the earlobe makes the earphone realize stable fixation without discomfort caused by excessive compression of the earlobe. Since the earlobe is located in the gap, the earphone can better adapt to different ear shapes of users, avoiding the common wearing discomfort caused by unstable fixation or excessive compression of traditional earphone design.

[0036] During wearing, the first cavity 100 of the earphone is fixed by close contact with the concha cavity, while the second cavity 200 is prevented from rotating by contact with the postaural sulcus and the back of the ear. The gap 310 design ensures that the earphone does not cause pressure concentration on the auricle part, allowing the wearer to wear the earphone for a long time without discomfort. Through this innovative design, the stability and comfort of the earphone are well balanced. The earphone can be stable and not slip off during movement, while also ensuring that it does not cause unnecessary pressure on the ear, especially the earlobe area, when worn.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first cavity 100 is provided with a sound driver, and the second cavity 200 is provided with a power supply.

[0038] The arc-shaped connecting part 300 is provided with an earphone control unit.

[0039] The first cavity 100 is provided with a sound driver, which is responsible for converting electronic audio signals into sound waves to provide high-quality audio output. The sound driver usually includes a speaker unit, a voice coil, and magnetic materials to ensure that the earphone can provide clear and low-distortion sound effects.

[0040] The second cavity 200 is provided with a power supply to provide stable power support for all electronic components of the earphone. The power supply usually uses rechargeable lithium batteries, which have high energy density and long endurance.

[0041] The arc-shaped connecting part 300 not only connects the first cavity 100 and the second cavity 200, but also integrates an earphone control unit, which includes a core chip, a wireless communication antenna, and other electronic components to provide intelligent control functions.

[0042] In this embodiment, the center of gravity of the second cavity 200 is offset to the back of the ear relative to the center of gravity of the first cavity 100 in the vertical direction. This design optimizes the distribution of the center of gravity of the earphone, effectively improving the stability and comfort during wearing.

[0043] Specifically, the offset of the center of gravity of the second cavity 200 to the back of the ear relative to the first cavity 100 ensures that the earphone can better balance the weight of the earphone during wearing, reducing the shaking or slipping caused by unstable center of gravity. This center of gravity design is in harmony with the anatomy of the ear, avoiding the instability problems caused by too high or too low center of gravity in traditional earphone designs.

[0044] In addition, this offset design can also improve the stability of the earphone during movement, especially when the user performs intense exercise or head rotation, the earphone can rely on the offset of the center of gravity to maintain a stable position and prevent the earphone from slipping or shaking.

[0045] In the embodiment, the earphone comprises an upper shell 400 and a lower shell 500, and the upper shell 400 and the lower shell 500 are connected to form a first cavity 100, a second cavity 200 and an arc-shaped connecting portion 300. The design of the upper shell 400 and the lower shell 500 not only has good structural stability, but also is very simple to install. The two are connected by simple clamping or screwing, which makes the assembly of the earphone more efficient. The upper shell 400 and the lower shell 500 can be manufactured by injection molding technology using common plastics or other suitable materials, and the material procurement and production cost is relatively low. Such materials not only have good mechanical strength and impact resistance, but also are easy to mass-produce.

[0046] Due to the separate design of the upper shell 400 and the lower shell 500, the assembly line operation in the production process is more simple, and the need for complex tools and equipment is reduced. The user or the manufacturer only needs to butt joint the upper shell 400 and the lower shell 500 and complete a small amount of fixing operation to complete the assembly of the earphone.

[0047] This design is particularly suitable for mass production and helps to reduce production costs. The simple component assembly process not only improves production efficiency, but also reduces the chance of error, thereby further reducing waste in the production process.

[0048] An earphone assembly comprises the earphone and the earphone charging box. The earphone assembly comprises the aforementioned over-ear earphone and the matching earphone charging box. The earphone charging box not only serves as a storage protection box for the earphone, but also serves as a battery charging device for the earphone. This design enables the user to conveniently store the earphone in the charging box and complete the charging operation at the same time, thereby ensuring that the earphone can maintain sufficient power before and after use.
