[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This utility model proposes a headset microphone, including two housings 1 and a rotating rod 2. The two housings 1 have mounting cavities inside. The housings 1 have a top end and a bottom end. The top end is connected to an ear hook 11. The bottom ends of the two housings 1 are connected to a neck ring 12. The rotating rod 2 has a connecting end and a microphone end. The connecting end is movably connected to the surface of either housing 1. The microphone end is connected to a microphone 21. The connecting end is provided with an adjustment tooth 4. The surface of the housing 1 is provided with an adjustment ring 3 corresponding to the adjustment tooth 4. The inner wall of the adjustment ring 3 is evenly provided with multiple grooves 31. The adjustment tooth 4 is engaged with the groove 31. Rotating the rotating rod 2 can make the adjustment tooth 4 engage with different grooves 31.

[0023] Understandably, the headset microphone proposed in this application is a wearable microphone, typically used for voice input, requiring the use of external speaker equipment, and can be used in classrooms, live broadcasts, or conference calls. This microphone consists of two housings 1 and a rotating rod 2. Each housing 1 has an internal space for mounting internal components; in this example, the two mounting cavities are used to mount a circuit board and a battery, respectively. The housing 1 has a top and a bottom end, with an ear hook 11 attached to the top for hanging on the ear. When the ear hook 11 is attached, the housing 1 is positioned behind the wearer's ear. The bottom ends of the two housings 1 are connected by a neck loop 12, which wraps around the user's neck to provide additional support for the entire microphone structure.

[0024] The rotating rod 2 is a crucial component of the microphone, featuring a connecting end and a microphone end. The connecting end of the rotating rod 2 is movably connected to the surface of any housing 1, allowing it to rotate or adjust its position. In this example, the rotating rod is connected to the housing 1 on which the circuit board is mounted. At the connecting end of the rotating rod 2, there are one or more adjusting teeth 4 (two in this example). Each adjusting tooth 4 is a raised structure that engages with other recessed structures to adjust its position. An adjusting ring 3 is formed on the surface of the housing 1. Multiple grooves 31 are evenly spaced on the inner wall of the adjusting ring 3, corresponding to the adjusting teeth 4, with each tooth 4 engaging within one of the grooves 31. When the rotating rod 2 is rotated, the adjusting teeth 4 move out of the current groove 31 and into an adjacent groove 31. In this way, the wearer can adjust the position of the rotating rod 2 to better suit their needs, adjusting the angle or position of the microphone 21.

[0025] Reference Figures 2 to 3 In one embodiment of this application, a connecting hole 13 is provided on the surface of the housing 1, an adjusting ring 3 protrudes from the inner wall of the connecting hole 13, and a boss 22 is formed at the connecting end of the rotating rod 2 corresponding to the connecting hole 13, the boss 22 abutting against the adjusting ring 3.

[0026] Understandably, the connecting hole 13 is a hole opened on the surface of the housing 1, communicating with the mounting cavity, and used to connect the connecting end of the rotating rod 2. This hole serves a positioning and supporting function, allowing the rotating rod 2 to rotate freely or adjust its angle within it. The adjusting ring 3 is the part that cooperates with the adjusting teeth 4 of the rotating rod 2. In this example, the adjusting ring 3 is a ring-shaped structure protruding on the inner wall of the connecting hole 13. The connecting end of the rotating rod 2 is the end that connects to the housing 1. It is connected to the housing 1 through the connecting hole 13. There is a boss 22 on the connecting end. This boss 22 contacts the adjusting ring 3 on the inner wall of the connecting hole 13, which serves to fix and limit the excessive extension of the rotating rod 2.

[0027] Reference Figures 3 to 4 In one embodiment of this application, a connecting ring 23 is provided on the surface of the boss 22. The connecting ring 23 can pass through the adjusting ring 3 and extend into the mounting cavity. A retaining ring 231 is formed at the end of the connecting ring 23. The retaining ring 231 can abut against and limit the edge of the adjusting ring 3.

[0028] Understandably, the connecting end of the rotating rod 2 has a boss 22, which can partially extend into the connecting hole 13 and contact the adjusting ring 3. On the surface of the boss 22, there is a connecting ring 23, which is a ring-shaped structure that can pass through the adjusting ring 3. The adjusting ring 3 is located on the inner wall of the housing 1, and the connecting ring 23 can extend into the mounting cavity inside the housing 1 from the position of the adjusting ring 3. The purpose is to better fix the rotating rod 2 and maintain the stability of the microphone. In this way, the connecting ring 23 can more firmly connect the rotating rod 2 to the housing 1. The free end of the connecting ring 23 has an annular protrusion, namely a retaining ring 231, which helps to firmly fix the connecting ring 23 to the adjusting ring 3 and the housing 1, preventing the connecting ring 23 from falling off. The retaining ring 231 contacts the edge of the adjusting ring 3. Through this contact, the retaining ring 231 limits the rotation of the rod 2, preventing the rotating rod 2 from falling off the housing 1.

[0029] Reference Figures 3 to 4 In one embodiment of this application, the connecting ring 23 is connected to the adjusting member 5. The surface of the connecting ring 23 is provided with a plurality of fixing grooves 232. The adjusting member 5 is provided with fixing teeth 51 corresponding to the fixing grooves 232. The fixing teeth 51 are engaged in the fixing grooves 232. The adjusting teeth 4 are provided on the surface of the adjusting member and extend out from the fixing grooves 232.

[0030] Understandably, the surface of the connecting ring 23 is provided with multiple fixing grooves 232. These grooves provide a locking point for the fixing teeth 51 on the adjusting member 5. The fixing grooves 232 can accommodate the fixing teeth 51 on the adjusting member 5 and fix the position of the adjusting member 5. The fixing teeth 51 on the adjusting member 5 are the parts that cooperate with the fixing grooves 232, and have a protruding structure that can be inserted into the fixing grooves 232. When the fixing teeth 51 on the adjusting member 5 enter the fixing grooves 232, they act as a locking mechanism, preventing the adjusting member 5 from moving or rotating. Simultaneously, both are detachable, facilitating component replacement. The adjusting teeth 4 are positioned in the same straight line as the fixing teeth 51, extending from the fixing grooves 232 and engaging with the toothed grooves 31 of the adjusting ring 3. The position and number of fixing grooves 232, as well as the number and length of fixing teeth 51, can be determined according to actual usage requirements and are not further limited here.

[0031] Reference Figures 2 to 3 In one embodiment of this application, the adjusting ring 3 has a groove 32 on the side that abuts against the boss 22, and the boss 22 is provided with a slider 24 corresponding to the groove 32.

[0032] Understandably, the groove 32 and the slider 24 cooperate to limit the rotation range of the rotating rod 2. When the slider 24 abuts against the edge of the groove 32, the rotating rod 2 can no longer rotate. Through the above arrangement, the combination of the groove 32 and the slider 24 can provide precise movement control. The groove 32 acts as a fixed track, while the slider 24 slides within it, thus limiting the direction and range of movement of the rotating rod 2 and preventing the rotating rod 2 from rotating at an excessively large angle, which would be inconvenient for the wearer.

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 2 In one embodiment of this application, the ear hook 11 is arc-shaped, and the diameter of the ear hook 11 gradually decreases from both ends to the middle, and the free end of the ear hook 11 has an enlarged portion 111.

[0034] Understandably, the ear hook 11 is curved and arc-shaped to better conform to the natural contour of the ear, allowing it to hang more stably on the wearer's ear. The diameter of the ear hook 11 gradually decreases from both ends to the middle, enhancing aesthetics and wearing comfort while reducing the bulkiness at the ends. The free end of the ear hook 11 has a bulging, teardrop-shaped portion to prevent it from easily slipping off the ear, ensuring it remains firmly in the correct position even when subjected to external forces such as head turning or tilting, preventing it from falling off.

[0035] The technical solution of this utility model involves the adjustment tooth 4 of the rotating rod 2 cooperating with multiple tooth grooves 31 of the housing 1. The adjustment tooth 4 is engaged inside one of the tooth grooves 31. When the rotating rod 2 is rotated, the adjustment tooth 4 will leave the current tooth groove 31 and enter the adjacent tooth groove 31. In this way, the wearer can adjust the position of the rotating rod 2 so that the angle or position of the microphone 21 is more in line with the needs. At the same time, the housing 1 has an ear hook 11 and a neck loop 12 with an ergonomic design. The two cooperate to share the weight of the microphone, making the wearer feel comfortable and not causing discomfort to the ears even after wearing it for a long time.
