Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of electronic device technology, and specifically relates to a pair of headphones. Background Technology

[0002] Driven by user demand, wireless headphones are becoming increasingly popular. Wireless headphones typically include TWS (True Wireless Stereo) and OWS (Open Wearable Stereo). TWS headphones generally have an in-ear design, meaning users can barely hear external sounds during use, which poses a relatively low safety risk when used outdoors. OWS headphones, on the other hand, do not block the ear canal, allowing users to hear external sounds. However, in scenarios where users need to listen to audio or conduct meetings, external noise can significantly negatively impact the user experience. Clearly, each type of wireless headphone currently available has its own drawbacks, resulting in a less than ideal user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide an earphone that combines the advantages of both TWS and OWS earphones.

[0004] This application discloses an earphone, which includes an earphone body and a wearing mechanism, wherein...

[0005] The earphone body includes a shell and a sound-emitting device. The shell has an inner cavity, and the sound-emitting device is disposed in the inner cavity. The shell has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other. The first surface has a first sound outlet, and the second surface has a second sound outlet. Both the first sound outlet and the second sound outlet are in communication with the inner cavity.

[0006] The wearing mechanism includes an ear clip and a mounting part connected to each other. The earphone has a TWS mode and an OWS mode. When the earphone is in the TWS mode, the second surface of the housing is detachably fixed to the mounting part, and the sound waves emitted by the sound-emitting device are transmitted from the first sound outlet to the outside of the housing. When the earphone is in the OWS mode, the first surface of the housing is detachably fixed to the mounting part, and the sound waves emitted by the sound-emitting device are transmitted from the second sound outlet to the outside of the housing.

[0007] This application discloses an earphone, which includes an earphone body and a wearing mechanism. The wearing mechanism includes an ear clip and a mounting part that are connected to each other. The ear clip enables the earphone to form a good wearing relationship with the user's ear. Meanwhile, the earphone body has an inner cavity, and the sound-emitting device located in the inner cavity can communicate with the outside of the earphone body through the first sound outlet and the second sound outlet on the shell. The first sound outlet and the second sound outlet are located on opposite first and second surfaces in the shell, respectively, thus enabling the earphone to have TWS mode and OWS mode. In TWS mode, the earphone body is detachably fixed to the mounting part of the wearing mechanism through its second surface, and the sound waves emitted by the sound-emitting device can be transmitted to the outside of the shell through the first sound outlet. The first sound outlet can form a good sealing relationship with the user's ear canal, thereby preventing external noise from entering the user's ear canal and adversely affecting the user's listening to the audio in the earphone. In OWS mode, the earphone body is detachably fixed to the mounting part of the wearing mechanism through its first surface, and the sound waves emitted by the sound-emitting device are transmitted to the outside of the shell through the second sound outlet. At this time, external sounds can still be transmitted normally to the user's ear canal. Therefore, when the user uses the earphone outdoors, it can be ensured that the user can still hear the outside sounds normally, preventing the user's safety from being threatened.

[0008] In summary, the earphones disclosed in this application combine the advantages of both TWS and OWS earphones. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0022] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0023] like Figures 1-8As shown in the figure, this application discloses an earphone that combines the advantages of both TWS and OWS earphones. Thus, in different situations where users have different needs, the earphone can provide corresponding working characteristics to users by switching the working mode of the earphone disclosed in this application.

[0024] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the earphones disclosed in this application embodiment include an earphone body 100 and a wearing mechanism 200, wherein, Figure 1-3 The structure of the headphone body 100 is shown. Figure 4 The structure of the wearing mechanism 200 is shown.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the earphone body 100 includes a housing 110 and a sound-producing device 120. The housing 110 is the external structure of the earphone body 100 and can serve as the mounting base for structures such as the sound-producing device 120. The housing 110 is typically made of a rigid material such as plastic to make it lightweight. The shape and size of the housing 110 can be flexibly selected according to actual conditions. To improve the tightness of the fit between the earphone body 100 and the user's ear canal, in this embodiment of the application, the earphone body 100 may also include a flexible ear tip 130.

[0026] In detail, the housing 110 has an inner cavity 110a, and the sound-producing device 120 is disposed in the inner cavity 110a. The sound-producing device 120 can be a speaker or a receiver, and its specific parameters can be designed according to actual needs. In the embodiments of this application, the shape and size of the inner cavity 110a can be designed according to the installation position of the sound-producing device 120, etc., to ensure that the sound-producing device 120 can work normally.

[0027] Meanwhile, the housing 110 has a first surface 111 and a second surface 112 facing each other. The first surface 111 is provided with a first sound outlet 115, and the second surface 112 is provided with a second sound outlet 116. Both the first sound outlet 115 and the second sound outlet 116 are connected to the inner cavity 110a. In this case, when the sound-emitting device 120 is working, the sound waves emitted by the sound-emitting device 120 can be transmitted from the inner cavity 110a through the first sound outlet 115 and the second sound outlet 116 to the outside of the housing 110 of the headphone body 100. Specifically, both the first surface 111 and the second surface 112 can be planar, or at least one of them can be a non-planar structure. The aforementioned "opposite" first surface 111 and second surface 112 means that the first surface 111 and the second surface 112 are generally located on different sides of the housing 110, and the aforementioned different sides are arranged opposite to each other. The number of first sound outlet 115 and second sound outlet 116 can be one or more. Considering that the first sound outlet 115 is used to cooperate with the flexible ear cap 130, the number of first sound outlet 115 can be one, and its sound outlet area is relatively large. As for the second sound outlet 116, the number of them can be multiple, and the sound outlet area of ​​each second sound outlet 116 is relatively small. Multiple second sound outlets 116 can form a sound outlet array.

[0028] The flexible ear cap 130 is made of a flexible material such as rubber, and a sleeve post can be provided on the first surface 111 of the housing 110. The sleeve post can be a hollow structure to facilitate the assembly relationship between the flexible ear cap 130 and the first surface 111 of the housing 110. After assembly, the sleeve post can communicate with the inner cavity 110a through the first sound outlet 115. That is, in this embodiment, the flexible ear cap 130 is installed on the first surface 111, so that the earphone body 100 can be worn as an in-ear earphone by using the flexible ear cap 130 to fit with the user's ear canal.

[0029] Of course, in order to ensure that the earphone body 100 can be worn normally by the user and that the wearing stability of the earphone is relatively high, as described above, the earphone disclosed in this application embodiment includes a wearing mechanism 200, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the wearing mechanism 200 includes an ear clip 210 and a mounting part 220 that are connected to each other. The mounting part 220 is used to connect with the headphone body 100. The ear clip 210 can be fitted with the user's outer ear by means of sleeve or snap, so that the entire headphone can be worn normally by the user.

[0030] The earphones based on the structure disclosed in the embodiments of this application have TWS mode and OWS mode, so that users can control the working mode of the earphones according to their own needs, thereby adapting to the user's needs and ensuring a relatively good user experience.

[0031] Among them, such as Figure 5and Figure 6 As shown, when the earphones are in TWS mode, the second surface 112 of the housing 110 is detachably fixed to the mounting portion 220, and the sound waves emitted by the sound-emitting device 120 are transmitted from the first sound outlet 115 to the outside of the housing 110. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, when the headphones are in OWS mode, the first surface 111 of the housing 110 is detachably fixed to the mounting part 220, and the sound waves emitted by the sound-emitting device 120 are transmitted out of the housing 110 through the second sound outlet 116.

[0032] That is, in the headphones disclosed in this application, the headphone body 100 and the wearing mechanism 200 are detachably connected, and the headphone body 100 can be connected to the wearing mechanism 200 at different positions. Therefore, in one specific embodiment of this application, one of the headphone body 100 or the wearing mechanism 200 may include a suction cup, and the other may have an adsorption surface. In this case, the headphone body 100 and the wearing mechanism 200 can be fixed together through the cooperation between the suction cup and the adsorption surface.

[0033] In addition, in this embodiment, both the first sound outlet 115 and the second sound outlet 116 can always be in communication with the inner cavity 110a. In order to prevent sound leakage during the operation of the headphones, in a specific embodiment of this application, the mounting part 220 can be a sealing structure. In this case, the mounting part 220 can provide a sealing effect on the first sound outlet 115 (or the second sound outlet 116) on the first surface 111 (or the second surface 112) connected to it, thereby preventing sound leakage at the first sound outlet 115 (or the second sound outlet 116) when sound is emitted using the second sound outlet 116 (or the first sound outlet 115). This can improve the performance of the headphones and protect the user's privacy. Of course, in other embodiments of this application, a movable sealing member can also be provided in the inner cavity 110a, and when the second surface 112 of the housing 110 is connected to the mounting part 220, the sealing member can be moved to the inside of the first surface 111 to block the first sound hole 115. Correspondingly, when the first surface 111 of the housing 110 is connected to the mounting part 220, the sealing member can be moved to the inside of the second surface 112 to block the second sound hole 116. This can also prevent the headphones from leaking sound and ensure the user's privacy.

[0034] This application discloses an earphone, including an earphone body 100 and a wearing mechanism 200. The wearing mechanism 200 includes an ear clip 210 and a mounting portion 220 connected to each other. The ear clip 210 allows the earphone to form a good wearing relationship with the user's ear. The earphone body 100 has a housing 110 with an inner cavity 110a. A sound-emitting device 120 disposed in the inner cavity 110a can communicate with the outside of the earphone body 100 through a first sound outlet 115 and a second sound outlet 116 on the housing 110. The first sound outlet 115 and the second sound outlet 116 are respectively located on a first surface 111 and a second surface 112 opposite to each other in the housing 110, thus enabling the earphone to have TWS mode and OWS mode. In TWS mode, the earphone body 100 is detachably fixed to the mounting portion 220 of the wearing mechanism 200 through its second surface 112, allowing the sound waves emitted by the sound-emitting device 120 to be transmitted from the first sound outlet 115 to the housing. In addition to 110, the first sound outlet 115 can form a good sealing relationship with the user's ear canal, thereby preventing external noise from entering the user's ear canal and adversely affecting the user's listening to the audio in the headphones; when the headphones are in OWS mode, the headphone body 100 is detachably fixed to the mounting part 220 of the wearing mechanism 200 through the first surface 111 of its housing 110, and the sound waves emitted by the sound-emitting device 120 are transmitted out of the housing 110 through the second sound outlet 116. At this time, external sounds can still be transmitted normally into the user's ear canal. Therefore, when the user uses the headphones outdoors, it can be ensured that the user can still hear the external sounds normally, preventing the user's safety from being threatened.

[0035] In summary, the earphones disclosed in this application combine the advantages of both TWS and OWS earphones.

[0036] More specifically, a flexible ear cap 130 is installed on the first surface 111. The flexible ear cap 130 can communicate with the first sound outlet 115, and the flexible ear cap 130 is used to cooperate with the user's ear canal to achieve the purpose of blocking or basically blocking the user's ear canal, so that external noise will not enter the user's ear canal and improve the sound quality of the headphones.

[0037] As described above, the sound-producing device 120 is disposed in the housing 110 of the headphone body 100. In a specific embodiment of this application, the battery for power supply can be installed on the ear clip 210 in the wearing mechanism 200 to effectively utilize the internal space of the ear clip 210 and increase the weight of the ear clip 210 to a certain extent, thereby making the center of gravity of the ear clip 210 lower relative to the user's ear and improving the wearing stability between the ear clip 210 and the user's ear.

[0038] Therefore, in this embodiment, the wearing mechanism 200 includes a first battery 250, which is installed in the ear clip 210 and electrically connected to the sound-producing device 120. Specifically, the ear clip 210 can be made of materials such as plastic, and by appropriately increasing the size of the ends of the ear clip 210, it can be ensured that the ear clip 210 can provide installation space for the first battery 250. Optionally, the first battery 250 can be electrically connected to the sound-producing device 120 via a wire and a plug. Specifically, the housing 110 can also be provided with a socket, which is electrically connected to the sound-producing device 120, and the wire of the first battery 250 is provided with a plug. After the earphone body 100 and the mounting part 220 are assembled, by inserting the plug into the socket, it can be ensured that the first battery 250 can supply power to the sound-producing device 120, enabling the sound-producing device 120 to work normally.

[0039] To reduce the difficulty of using the headphones and improve their convenience, in another embodiment of this application, the headphones further include a first conductive element 141, a second conductive element 142, and a third conductive element 230. The first conductive element 141 is mounted on a first surface 111, the second conductive element 142 is mounted on a second surface 112, and both the first conductive element 141 and the second conductive element 142 are electrically connected to the sound-producing device 120. The third conductive element 230 is mounted on the housing 110 and is electrically connected to the first battery 250. Based on this, by designing parameters such as the respective settings of the first conductive element 141, the second conductive element 142, and the third conductive element 230, it is possible to electrically connect the second conductive element 142 and the third conductive element 230 when the earphone is in TWS mode, and to electrically connect the first conductive element 141 and the third conductive element 230 when the earphone is in OWS mode. Thus, during the assembly of the earphone body 100 and the wearing mechanism 200, the sound-producing device 120 and the first battery 250 can be electrically connected simultaneously. This significantly reduces the complexity of earphone operation and improves the user experience of the earphone.

[0040] Specifically, the first conductive element 141, the second conductive element 142, and the third conductive element 230 can all be metal pillars. Through wires or circuit boards, the first conductive element 141 and the second conductive element 142 can be electrically connected to the sound-producing device 120. Correspondingly, the third conductive element 230 can be electrically connected to the first battery 250. Thus, when the first surface 111 of the housing 110 is connected to the mounting part 220, the first conductive element 141 can form a conductive relationship with the third conductive element 230 through mutual contact. And when the second surface 112 of the housing 110 is connected to the mounting part 220, the second conductive element 142 can form a conductive relationship with the third conductive element 230 through mutual contact.

[0041] In another embodiment of this application, the first conductive element 141, the second conductive element 142, and the third conductive element 230 can also be conductive springs. In yet another embodiment of this application, the first conductive element 141 and the second conductive element 142 include spring pins. Correspondingly, the third conductive element 230 can be a metal sheet, and the third conductive element 230 can be recessed relative to the surface of the mounting portion 220. Thus, when one of the first conductive element 141 and the second conductive element 142 cooperates with the third conductive element 230, the two cooperating elements can form a limiting cooperation relationship in a direction perpendicular to the elastic direction of the spring pin, ensuring that the connection stability between the earphone body 100 and the wearing mechanism 200 is relatively higher. Furthermore, the third conductive element 230, which is recessed relative to the mounting portion 220, can also provide a positioning reminder during the assembly process between the earphone body 100 and the wearing mechanism 200, further improving the ease of use of the earphone.

[0042] Alternatively, in this embodiment, the third conductive element 230 includes a spring pin. Correspondingly, the first conductive element 141 and the second conductive element 142 are both metal sheets, and the first conductive element 141 can be recessed relative to the first surface 111, and the second conductive element 142 can be recessed relative to the second surface 112.

[0043] As described above, the first battery 250 in the wearing mechanism 200 can be used to power the sound-producing device 120. In another embodiment of this application, the earphone body 100 may further include a second battery 160, which is disposed in the housing 110 and electrically connected to the sound-producing device 120. In this case, the earphone body 100 itself can directly power the sound-producing device 120 through the second battery 160, thereby enabling the earphone body 100 to operate independently of the wearing mechanism 200.

[0044] Therefore, in this embodiment, the headphones also have a lightweight mode. In lightweight mode, the housing 110 is separated from the mounting portion 220, and the sound waves emitted by the sound-emitting device 120 are transmitted from the first sound outlet 115 to the outside of the housing 110. That is, in this embodiment, the headphone body 100 can operate independently, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the second battery 160 in the headphone body 100 can directly power the sound-producing device 120, and the headphone body 100 can cooperate with the user's ear canal through its flexible ear cap 130 to achieve the purpose of wearing the headphone body 100 on the user's ear. In this case, since the headphone body 100 is not connected to the wearing mechanism 200, the headphone body 100 worn on the user's ear will cause relatively little weight to the user, thereby enabling the user to achieve or basically achieve a wear-free experience.

[0045] Of course, if the headphone body 100 includes the second battery 160, the wearing mechanism 200 may still include the first battery 250. In this case, the wearing mechanism 200 can provide the ability to assist wearing and extend battery life, further improving the overall performance of the headphones.

[0046] As described above, by controlling the first sound outlet 115 or the second sound outlet 116 to be blocked according to the working mode of the headphones, sound leakage during operation can be prevented. In another embodiment of this application, the sound-producing device 120 may include a first sound-producing device 121 and a second sound-producing device 122, and the inner cavity 110a may include a first cavity 113 and a second cavity 114. At the same time, the first sound-producing device 121 is installed in the first cavity 113 and the first cavity 113 is connected to the first sound outlet 115, and the second sound-producing device 122 is installed in the second cavity 114 and the second cavity 114 is connected to the second sound outlet 116, so that the first sound outlet 115 and the second sound outlet 116 correspond to different sound-producing devices 120 respectively. Thus, according to the specific working mode of the headphones, one of the first sound-producing device 121 and the second sound-producing device 122 in the headphones can be controlled to work independently.

[0047] Specifically, when the earphone is in TWS mode, the first sound-emitting device 121 is powered on and the second sound-emitting device 122 is powered off; correspondingly, when the earphone is in OWS mode, the first sound-emitting device 121 is powered off and the second sound-emitting device 122 is powered on.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first cavity 113 and the second cavity 114 are isolated from each other, and based on the different operating modes of the headphones, one of the first sound-producing device 121 and the second sound-producing device 122 operates independently, thereby preventing sound leakage during operation from the outset. Of course, the parameters of the first sound-producing device 121 and the second sound-producing device 122, as well as the shape and size of the second cavity 114, can be flexibly determined according to actual conditions. Furthermore, to facilitate processing and assembly, the first cavity 113 can be located between the second cavity 114 and the first sound outlet 115, and correspondingly, the second cavity 114 can be located between the first cavity 113 and the second sound outlet 116.

[0049] In one specific embodiment of this application, such as Figure 4As shown, the mounting portion 220 can be provided with a through hole 221, and when the headphones are in OWS mode, at least a portion of the flexible ear cap 130 passes through the through hole 221 and is located on the side of the mounting portion 220 opposite to the housing 110. Specifically, the shape and size of the through hole 221 can be designed according to the specific size of the flexible ear cap 130, and while ensuring that the mounting portion 220 has a connection base that meets the requirements, the size of the through hole 221 can be made relatively larger to reduce the weight of the wearing mechanism 200.

[0050] When adopting the embodiments of this application, the thickness of the mounting part 220 is relatively small, and when the headphones are in OWS mode, the superposition size between the headphone body 100 and the mounting part 220 is also relatively small. In particular, the distance between the mounting part 220 and the user's ear canal can be reduced, the wearing stability between the wearing mechanism 200 and the user's ear can be improved, and the pressure of the wearing mechanism 200 on the user's ear can be reduced, thereby improving wearing comfort.

[0051] As described above, the housing 110 and the mounting part 220 can be connected to each other via a suction cup. In another embodiment of this application, the housing 110 and the mounting part 220 can be magnetically attached, which can significantly reduce the difficulty of disassembly and assembly and improve the ease of use of the headphones disclosed in this application. Specifically, one of the housing 110 and the mounting part 220 can be provided with an electromagnet, and the other can be provided with a permanent magnet. Then, according to the working mode of the headphones, the magnetic pole orientation of the electromagnet can be controlled accordingly, so that the housing 110 and the mounting part 220 can form a reliable connection relationship through magnetic attraction, and ensure that the connection relationship between the two is relatively stable.

[0052] To reduce the overall power consumption and control complexity of the headphones, in another embodiment of this application, the headphones further include a magnet 150 and a magnetic material component 240. The magnet 150 is mounted on the housing 110, and the magnetic material component 240 is mounted on the mounting portion 220. The magnet 150 and the magnetic material component 240 are magnetically attracted to each other. The magnet 150 is a permanent magnet, and the magnetic material component 240 is a device formed of magnetic material. Specifically, the magnetic material component 240 can be formed of iron, and both the magnet 150 and the magnetic material component 240 can be bonded to the housing 110 and the mounting portion 220 respectively. In another embodiment of this application, the magnetic material component 240 can also be embedded in the mounting portion 220. For example, the mounting part 220 can be made of plastic. Therefore, during the injection molding process of the mounting part 220, the magnetic material part 240 can be integrally injection molded into the mounting part 220, so that the assembly stability between the mounting part 220 and the magnetic material part 240 is relatively good. Similarly, the magnet 150 can also be embedded in the housing 110.

[0053] To further improve the assembly stability between the earphone body 100 and the wearing mechanism 200, in one specific embodiment of this application, magnets 150 are provided on both opposite sides of the sound-producing device 120, and each magnet 150 corresponds to a magnetic material component 240. Specifically, the installation position of the magnets 150 can be selected according to the specific shape of the housing 110. In one specific embodiment of this application, the housing 110 can be a cubic structure. In this case, a magnet 150 can be provided on both sides of a long side of the housing 110 where the sound-producing device 120 is located, and a magnetic material component 240 is provided at the corresponding position on the mounting part 220, so that the two magnets 150 can magnetically attract and cooperate with the two magnetic material components 240 in a one-to-one correspondence, thereby making the connection stability between the earphone body 100 and the wearing mechanism 200 relatively higher.
