[0032] This utility model embodiment provides an earphone 100, which is equipped with a camera unit 20 that can collect photos and video information, thereby enriching the information sources of the earphone 100, improving the interactive capabilities of the earphone 100, and thus enriching the functions of the earphone 100.

[0033] Reference Figure 1-4 The earphone 100 provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes an earphone body 10 and a camera unit 20. The earphone body 10 includes a main body 11 and a clamping part 12 connected to the main body 11. The main body 11 is provided with a sound-emitting unit 15 and a circuit board 16 electrically connected to the sound-emitting unit 15. The camera unit 20 is mounted on the main body 11 and includes a camera module 21 electrically connected to the circuit board 16. The camera module 21 can be used to take photos and videos and send them to the circuit board 16 so that the circuit board 16 can give feedback based on the photos and / or videos.

[0034] Specifically, the earphone body 10 includes a main body 11 and a clamping part 12 connected together, and is worn onto the user's ear by the cooperation of the main body 11 and the clamping part 12. The clamping part 12 can be designed in various ways. For example, the shape of the clamping part 12 can be roughly the same as that of the ear and can be suspended and clamped on the ear so that the main body 11 is located on the front side of the ear, thus realizing the wearing of the earphone body 10. For example, the clamping part 12 can also be an ear clip and connected to the main body 11 through a connector. When worn, the clamping part 12 is located on the back side of the ear and the main body 11 is located on the front side of the ear. The two fit together and clamp the ear, thus realizing the wearing of the earphone body 10.

[0035] The main body 11 of the earphone body 10 has a receiving cavity, in which a sound-generating unit 15 and a circuit board 16 are connected. The circuit board 16 can be connected to a terminal device via wireless signal, thereby receiving information from the terminal device, processing it, and transmitting it to the sound-generating unit 15 to drive the sound-generating unit 15 to vibrate and produce sound.

[0036] The camera unit 20 is mounted on the main body 11 and includes a camera module 21 with photo and video recording functions. The camera module 21 is electrically connected to the circuit board 16. Thus, the camera module can be used to take photos and videos and send them to the circuit board 16. After receiving the photos and videos, the circuit board 16 can recognize them and provide corresponding feedback. For example, when the circuit board 16 recognizes a preset gesture in the video or photo, it can execute the corresponding command to realize the headphone function control.

[0037] The earphone 100 provided in this embodiment of the utility model includes an earphone body 10 and a camera unit 20. The earphone body 10 includes a main body 11 and a clamping part 12, and is worn on the user's ear through the clamping part 12 or the clamping part 12 cooperating with the main body 11. The main body 11 is provided with an electrically connected circuit board 16 and a sound-emitting unit 15. In this way, the circuit board 16 can be wirelessly connected to a terminal device, thereby receiving information from the terminal device, processing it, and transmitting it to the sound-emitting unit 15 to drive the sound-emitting unit 15 to vibrate and produce sound. At the same time, since the camera unit 20 with a camera module 21 is also installed on the main body 11, and the camera module 21 is electrically connected to the circuit board 16, the circuit board 16 can acquire and identify photos or videos taken by the camera module 21, and provide feedback based on the identified content. At the same time, placing the camera module in the main body can also reduce the wiring connections between circuit boards. Since the earphone 100 is equipped with a camera unit 20, it not only adds the functions of taking photos and videos, but also further improves the human-computer interaction function of the earphone 100, thereby meeting the user's requirements for the diversity of functions and intelligence of the earphone 100.

[0038] In one embodiment, the camera unit 20 further includes a mounting bracket 22 and a mounting plate 23. The mounting bracket 22 is connected to the main body 11 and has a mounting position. The mounting plate 23 is adapted to the mounting bracket 22 to fix the camera module 21 in the mounting position.

[0039] Specifically, the camera module 21 includes a cubic base 24 and a columnar camera lens 25 disposed on one side of the base 24. The mounting bracket 22 has an inner cavity and a first hole and a second hole communicating with the inner cavity. The side wall of the inner cavity also has a protrusion that roughly matches the outline of the camera module 21. The protrusion is adapted to the first hole to form a mounting position, which can be adapted and positioned to accommodate the camera module 21 entering the inner cavity through the second hole. The mounting plate 23 includes a cover plate with a shape roughly the same as the second hole and an abutment block connected to the cover plate. The mounting plate 23 can cover the second hole through the cover plate, and the mounting plate 23 can also be adapted to the base 24 of the camera module 21 through the cover plate and the abutment block to fix the camera module 21 in the mounting position.

[0040] Optionally, the second hole is countersunk to facilitate fitting and positioning with the cover plate of the mounting plate 23. Optionally, the cover plate is attached to the second hole of the mounting bracket 22 by adhesive bonding.

[0041] Optionally, based on the user's orientation while wearing the device, the first hole can face forward or outward away from the user (for example, the left ear of the earphone 100 faces to the left and the right ear faces to the right), which makes it easier to capture user information and for the user to adjust the shooting angle.

[0042] In this embodiment, the camera module 21 is fixed by setting up the mounting bracket 22 and the mounting plate 23, thereby improving the overall structural reliability.

[0043] In one embodiment, the main body 11 includes a front shell 13 and a rear cover 14 adapted to form a receiving cavity. The front shell 13 is connected to the clamping part 12, the mounting bracket 22 is connected to the rear cover 14, and the sound-emitting unit 15 and the circuit board 16 are disposed in the receiving cavity.

[0044] Specifically, when worn, the front cover 13 is flush against the user's body, while the back cover 14 is away from the user's body. This embodiment divides the main body 11 into two parts: the front cover 13 and the back cover 14. This facilitates the installation of the speaker unit 15 and the circuit board 16 into the main body 11. The front cover 13 and the back cover 14 can be fixedly connected using adhesive.

[0045] In one embodiment, a blind hole is formed on the mounting bracket 22, and a mounting hole is provided on the rear cover 14. The mounting bracket 22 is connected to the rear cover 14 by screws that pass through the mounting hole and the blind hole.

[0046] Based on the above structure, during assembly, the camera unit 20 can be first installed onto the back cover 14 using screws, and then the back cover 14 can be connected to the front shell 13, which houses the sound-generating unit 15 and the circuit board 16, thereby realizing the earphone 100. Furthermore, in the above structure, the screw nuts are hidden in the receiving cavity, which can further improve the aesthetics of the earphone 100.

[0047] In one embodiment, the rear cover 14 is provided with a clearance hole 18, and the camera unit 20 also includes a ribbon cable 26, one end of which is connected to the circuit board 16, and the other end passes through the clearance hole 18 and is connected to the camera module 21.

[0048] Furthermore, the mounting bracket 22 is also provided with a third hole corresponding to the back cover 14. One end of the ribbon cable 26 is connected to the camera module 21, and the other end passes through the third hole and the clearance hole 18 to connect to the circuit board 16.

[0049] Of course, in other embodiments, the second hole of the mounting bracket 22 may correspond to the rear cover 14, and the second hole and the cover plate of the mounting plate 23 form a clearance space. In this way, one end of the ribbon cable 26 is connected to the camera module 21, and the other end passes through the clearance space and the clearance hole 18 to connect to the circuit board 16.

[0050] In one embodiment, the ribbon cable 26 is plugged into the circuit board 16.

[0051] Specifically, the circuit board 16 is provided with a slot, and the end of the ribbon cable 26 is provided with a locking block. The locking block can be locked into the slot, thus realizing the signal connection between the ribbon cable 26 and the circuit board 16.

[0052] This embodiment simplifies the connection between the camera module 21 and the circuit board 16 through the above-described settings, thereby improving the assembly efficiency between the two.

[0053] In one embodiment, a protrusion 17 is also formed on the back cover 14, the protrusion 17 being located on the side of the mounting bracket 22 and adapted to smooth the curved surface of the main body 11.

[0054] Specifically, by providing a protrusion 17 on the back cover 14, the back cover 14 can be relatively smooth on one side relative to the front cover 13, and it can also serve as a counterweight to adjust the center of gravity of the headphones 100, so as to avoid affecting the wearing effect of the headphones 100 due to the setting of the camera unit 20.

[0055] In one embodiment, the front shell 13 and the clamping part 12 are integrally formed.

[0056] Specifically, the clamping part 12 is formed as an ear hook, and the ear hook is integrally formed with the front shell 13, which can help improve the production efficiency of the earphone 100.

[0057] Of course, in other embodiments, the clamping part 12 may also be separately provided from the front shell 13 to form an earphone 100 with clamping function, which is not limited here.

[0058] In one embodiment, the circuit board 16 is parallel to the parting surface between the front shell 13 and the rear cover 14, and the sound-emitting unit 15 and the camera unit 20 are respectively disposed on both sides of the circuit board 16. This not only makes full use of the inner cavity of the main body 11 and maximizes the structure of the sound-emitting unit 15, but also facilitates the installation of the sound-emitting unit 15 and the circuit board 16.

[0059] In one embodiment, the front shell 13 is further provided with a plurality of sound outlet holes corresponding to the sound-emitting unit 15.

[0060] Specifically, the side of the sound-generating unit 15 with the vibration system is positioned facing the sound outlet, so that the vibration sound waves of the sound-generating unit 15 can be transmitted to the outside through the sound outlet.

[0061] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
