Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of headphone technology, and particularly relates to headphone with adjustable earcup shape. Background Technology

[0002] Headphones are generally divided into open-back and closed-back headphones. Open-back headphones offer advantages such as natural and transparent sound quality, comfortable wear, and the ability to perceive ambient noise, but they have poor noise isolation and are prone to sound leakage, making them generally suitable for quiet or private occasions. Closed-back headphones offer excellent noise isolation and better noise cancellation, effectively blocking out external noise, and are generally suitable for noisy or bustling environments, but they are less comfortable to wear and can easily cause a stuffy feeling. Therefore, both open-back and closed-back headphones have certain limitations in their use. Utility Model Content

[0027] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4As shown, a headset with a changeable earcup shape is provided, including a headband 10, a sound output assembly 20, and an earcup assembly 30. The outer end of the sound output assembly 20 is connected to the headband 10, and the inner end has a hollow earcup 21 with openings at both ends. The earcup assembly 30 includes a first mounting ring 31 and a second mounting ring 32 that can be detachably fixed to the inner end of the hollow earcup 21. The inner ends of the first mounting ring 31 and the second mounting ring 32 are respectively provided with ear pads 33. The outer end of the second mounting ring 32 extends outward with a hollow ring 321. The outer end of the hollow ring 321 is inserted into the inner cavity of the hollow earcup 21, and its end is provided with an annular cap 322 that can seal the outer end opening of the hollow earcup 21. Specifically, by disassembling the first mounting ring 31 and installing the second mounting ring 32, the annular cap 322 is used to seal the outer end opening of the hollow earcup 21, thereby changing the open-back headphones into closed-back headphones (e.g., ...). Figure 1 (as shown in the image); by disassembling the second mounting ring 32, opening the outer end opening of the hollow earcup 21, and installing the first mounting ring 31, the closed-back headphones can be changed into open-back headphones (as shown in the image). Figure 2 (as shown in the diagram); the first assembly ring 31 and the second assembly ring 32 are respectively injection molded from plastic, and the ear pad 33 is glued and fixed to the inner edge of the assembly ring; the hollow ring 321 and the annular cover 322 are integrally formed with the second assembly ring 32 by injection molding. The integral forming structure reduces the assembly gap and helps to improve the sealing effect of the earphone.

[0028] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the sound output assembly 20 includes a first housing 22 and a second housing 23 arranged from the outside to the inside. The first housing 22 and the second housing 23 are joined to form an assembly cavity, in which a speaker 24 is disposed. The first housing 22 is connected to the end of the headband 10. A connecting rib 231 protrudes outward from the side of the second housing 23, and the other end of the connecting rib 231 is connected to the edge of the outer opening of the hollow earcup 21. Specifically, the first housing 22 and the second housing 23 are fixedly connected by screws. A rotating hole is provided on the first housing 22, and a rotating shaft that rotates with the rotating hole is provided at the end of the headband 10. By rotating the first housing 22, the orientation of the second housing 23 can be adjusted to meet more usage needs.

[0029] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the inner end of the second housing 23 extends toward one end close to the hollow earcup 21, and its end is provided with a plurality of sound outlet holes 232.

[0030] In one embodiment of this utility model, a magnet is provided around the rim of the inner opening of the hollow earcup 21. The first assembly ring 31 and the second assembly ring 32 each have an iron ring on the side opposite to the ear pad 33 that magnetically engages with the magnet. Specifically, the rim of the inner opening of the hollow earcup 21 has several grooves, in which several magnets are embedded and fixed with glue. The first assembly ring 31 and the second assembly ring 32 each have an annular groove on the side opposite to the ear pad 33, in which the iron ring is embedded and fixed with glue. The magnetic engagement allows for quick assembly and disassembly of the assembly rings and the hollow earcup 21, improving the user experience.

[0031] In other alternative embodiments, the inner opening of the hollow earcup 21 is provided with a snap-fit ​​rim, and the first mounting ring 31 and the second mounting ring 32 are respectively provided with snaps on the side opposite to the ear pad 33, which engage with the snap-fit ​​rim. Specifically, the snap-fit ​​rim and the hollow earcup 21 are formed in one injection molding process, and the snaps and the mounting rings are formed in one injection molding process.

[0032] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the sound output assembly 20 and the earpiece assembly 30 are each provided in two sets. The headband support 10 includes a soft shell 11, with hard shells 12 connected to both ends of the soft shell 11. The other ends of the hard shells 12 are connected to the sound output assembly 20. Specifically, the soft shell 11 and the two hard shells 12 form a support suitable for head wearing. The soft shell 11 has materials such as sponge and silicone on the side closest to the head to improve wearing comfort.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
