Description

A type of clip-on earphone Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of headphone technology, and in particular to an ear clip-on headphone. Background Technology

[0002] Clip-on headphones are used by clipping onto the ear helix without needing to be worn inside the ear. Compared to in-ear headphones, the structure of clip-on headphones reduces the risk of developing otitis externa caused by prolonged wear, hence the increasingly widespread use of clip-on headphones.

[0003] Clip-on headphones typically have antennas to receive signals. Some headphones on the market use external antennas to improve signal quality, but the size of some antennas is limited by their own structure, resulting in a limited antenna length and generally poor signal quality.

[0004] For example, Chinese Patent Application No. CN202320645218.7 discloses an antenna peripheral headset. This headset includes a sound cavity assembly, a battery assembly, and an antenna stem. The sound cavity assembly includes a front sound cavity and a rear sound cavity, which are connected. A headphone mainboard and a speaker are disposed between the front and rear sound cavities, and the front sound cavity has a sound outlet. The battery assembly includes a front battery cavity and a rear battery cavity, which are connected. A battery is disposed between the front and rear battery cavities. The sound cavity assembly and the battery assembly are connected via the antenna stem, and the headphone mainboard and the battery are connected via a power cord. The antenna stem can radiate signals or receive radio frequency signals from mobile phones or other Bluetooth devices to achieve wireless Bluetooth signal transmission. Therefore, the antenna length in this design is limited by the length of the antenna stem, which is fixed, resulting in relatively poor signal quality. Summary of the Invention

The first compartment 10, the second compartment 40, and the connecting rod 20 can be manufactured using injection molding, and the earphone is assembled after the parts are manufactured. The connecting rod 20 is elastic, and the first compartment 10 and the second compartment 40 can be clamped onto the ear under the elastic force of the connecting rod 20. The flexible wiring harness 30 can be a flexible circuit board or a conductive ribbon cable. The antenna 32 within the flexible wiring harness 30 can be folded back and forth, while simultaneously forming a single unit with the antenna 32, signal line 31, and power line 33. Due to the folding design, the antenna 32 can be made quite long, and its length can be adjusted as needed, resulting in better transmission and reception quality. The battery 15 powers the headphones. The flexible wiring harness 30 is connected to the first circuit board 16 and the second circuit board 47 to transmit signals, power, and other signals.

[0033] Preferably, the connecting rod 20 has a groove 21, and the flexible wire harness 30 is fitted into the groove 21. Specifically, the groove 21 is located on the inner side of the connecting rod 20, and the flexible wire harness 30 can be glued into the groove 21. The flexible wire harness 30 is flush with the inner surface of the connecting rod 20, which also improves comfort.

[0034] Preferably, the first end of the connecting rod 20 is provided with a first sealing cover 22, and a first limiting plate 23 extends from the edge of the first sealing cover 22; the first compartment 10 includes a first compartment shell 11 and a second compartment shell 13, which enclose the first sealing cover 22, and the first limiting plate 23 is blocked by the inner wall of the first compartment 10. When the first compartment shell 11 and the second compartment shell 13 are fastened together, the first limiting plate 23 is blocked by the inner wall of the first compartment 10, so the first sealing cover 22 will not fall off. At the same time, the position of the first sealing cover 22 is treated with adhesive to improve the sealing and firmness.

[0035] Preferably, the opening of the first compartment shell 11 is provided with a first groove 12, and the opening of the second compartment shell 13 is provided with a first fastening part 14, which is embedded in the first groove 12. When the first compartment shell 11 and the second compartment shell 13 are fastened together, the first fastening part 14 is embedded in the first groove 12.

The first mounting post 25 passes through the first circuit board 16, the battery 15 is attached to the first mounting base 24, and then the first compartment shell 11 and the second compartment shell 13 are fastened together. This design makes the assembly of the components in the first compartment 10 very simple and convenient.

[0037] Preferably, the second end of the connecting rod 20 is provided with a second sealing cover 26, and the edge of the second sealing cover 26 extends with a second limiting plate 27; the second compartment 40 includes a third compartment shell 41 and a fourth compartment shell 43, which enclose the second sealing cover 26, and the second limiting plate 27 is blocked by the inner wall of the second compartment 40. The second sealing cover 26 and the connecting rod 20 can be integrally formed. The first compartment shell 11 is provided with a first mounting hole 17, and the third compartment shell 41 is provided with a second mounting hole 410. Preferably, the first sealing cover 22 can pass through the second mounting hole 410. The second sealing cover 26 is then confined within the third compartment shell 41 by the second mounting hole 410, and the first sealing cover 22 is confined within the first compartment 10 by the first mounting hole 17. The third compartment shell 41 and the fourth compartment shell 43 are assembled together by a snap-fit ​​method. Meanwhile, adhesive is applied to the second sealing cover 26 to improve the sealing and installation firmness. The first compartment shell 11 and the second compartment shell 13 have excellent waterproof performance after being fastened together.

[0038] Preferably, the opening of the third housing 41 is provided with a second groove 42, and the opening of the fourth housing 43 is provided with a second fastening part 44, which is embedded in the second groove 42. The third housing 41 and the fourth housing 43 are assembled together by a fastening method.
