Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of headphone products, and specifically to a bone conduction headphone. Background Technology

[0002] Bone conduction technology converts audio signals into mechanical vibrations that act directly on the temporal or zygomatic bone, transmitting sound to the cochlea and bypassing the outer and middle ear. This method is particularly suitable for users with blocked ear canals or middle ear dysfunction.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN218352681U discloses a solar-powered rechargeable bone conduction headphone, which includes two headphone bodies and ear hooks connected to the headphone bodies. The ear hooks are curved to fit the human head. However, in actual use, it has been found that when the headphone bodies do not fit snugly against the human head, there is a problem of sound leakage from the vibrator, affecting the user experience.

[0004] Therefore, a new technical solution is needed in this field to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To improve or solve the technical problem of sound leakage caused by the vibrator in the prior art, this utility model provides a bone conduction headphone. The bone conduction headphone includes: a headband structure with a curved shape to fit the human head; the bone conduction structure includes housings installed at both ends of the headband structure and a vibrator installed within the housings; the housings include a main body fixedly connected to the headband structure and a cover plate connected to the main body; a damping plate is arranged within the housings, and the damping plate is close to the cover plate; an environmental sensor for monitoring air quality and temperature / humidity is suspended on the outside of the housings.

[0006] This utility model of bone conduction headphones includes a headband structure and a bone conduction structure. The headband structure is perfectly shaped to fit the human head, allowing for a snug fit and reducing sound leakage caused by a misfit. The bone conduction structure includes housings mounted at both ends of the headband structure and a vibrator mounted within each housing. Each housing includes a main body and a cover plate for mounting the vibrator. A damping plate is installed within the housing, near the cover plate, to absorb the vibration of the vibrator, suppress unnecessary resonance, and reduce the transmission of vibration to the housing, further reducing sound leakage. An environmental sensor monitors the user's environment in real time, enhancing the functionality of the bone conduction headphones and improving the user experience. Through the above-described design, this utility model of bone conduction headphones incorporates a damping plate to absorb the vibration of the vibrator, suppress unnecessary resonance, and reduce the transmission of vibration to the housing, thus minimizing sound leakage.

[0007] Furthermore, a module housing is provided on the outside of the environmental sensor, and the module housing is fitted to the box body.

[0008] Furthermore, a waterproof layer is provided inside the box, close to the cover plate. This arrangement of the waterproof layer prevents water droplets from seeping into the box.

[0009] Furthermore, a limiting block is provided inside the housing, and the limiting block is arranged circumferentially along the oscillator. Through this arrangement, the limiting block can position and clamp the oscillator.

[0010] Furthermore, the headband structure is made of ABS (acrylonitrile-styrene-butadiene copolymer) or PC (polycarbonate). Through this design, the materials possess good resilience, enhancing internal shear stress and allowing the headband to fit snugly against the human face.

[0011] Furthermore, the damping sheet is made of microporous polyurethane foam, silicone foam, or EVA foam (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer).

[0012] In summary, compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] (1) The headband structure is designed to fit the human head perfectly, which can fit the human head and reduce sound leakage caused by the bone conduction structure not fitting the human head.

[0014] (2) A damping plate is installed inside the enclosure. The damping plate is close to the cover plate and can absorb the vibration of the oscillator, suppress unnecessary resonance, and reduce the transmission of vibration to the enclosure, thereby further reducing sound leakage.

[0015] (3) Set up an environmental sensor. The environmental sensor can monitor the parameters of the user's environment in real time, increase the function of bone conduction headphones, and improve the user experience. Attached Figure Description

Figure 1 As shown, in one or more embodiments, the bone conduction headphones of this utility model include a headband structure 1, a bone conduction structure 2, and an environmental monitoring structure 3.

[0025] Figure 2 This is an exploded structural diagram of an embodiment of the bone conduction headphones of this utility model. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the headgear structure 1 has a curved shape that conforms to the human head. Based on Figure 1As shown, the left half of the headband structure 1 extends upward and backward from the left end, then curves upward and forward to the right. The right half of the headband structure 1 is mirror-symmetrical to the left half. Furthermore, the headband structure 1 can be integrally injection molded, meaning the entire headband structure 1 is a single piece. Alternatively, the left and right halves of the headband structure 1 can be injection molded separately and then connected by connectors. For example, the length of the headband structure 1 can be adjusted by a tension strip structure, thereby adjusting the clamping force of the headband structure 1. The tension strip structure is a commonly used headphone tension strip structure, which will not be described in detail here. Furthermore, the material of the headband structure 1 is ABS (acrylonitrile-styrene-butadiene copolymer) or PC (polycarbonate). These materials have good resilience, which can enhance internal shear stress, thereby allowing the bone conduction structure 2 to fit snugly against the human face.

[0026] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2In one or more embodiments, two bone conduction structures 2 are provided, with each bone conduction structure 2 respectively arranged at both ends of the head-mounted structure 1, and the two bone conduction structures 2 are connected for communication via wires.
