AI Technical Summary
Existing clip-on headphones have poor stability because the ear hooks are connected to the headphone body via clips, which makes the headphones prone to rotation during use, resulting in wear and loosening of the fixed position.
Featuring a U-shaped ear hook design, the ear hook has protrusions at both ends. The clamping and playback components are respectively equipped with fixing grooves and limiting grooves. The limiting grooves cooperate with the protrusions to restrict the rotation of the clamping and playback components relative to the ear hook, increasing connection stability. The ring protrusions and grooves are further fixed by interference fit or buckle structure. Combined with the elastic covering layer and titanium wire support, the wearing stability is improved.
It effectively prevents the center of gravity from shifting and becoming unstable during earphone wear due to rotation, improving the connection and wearing stability of the earphones and enhancing the user experience.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment of the utility model provides an earphone, including:
[0026] Ear hook 10, the ear hook 10 has a U-shaped structure, the first end of the ear hook 10 is provided with a first protrusion 101, and the second end of the ear hook 10 is provided with a second protrusion 102;
[0027] The clamping member 20 is provided with a first fixing groove 21, which is engaged and fixed with the first end of the ear hook 10. The inner wall of the first fixing groove 21 is provided with a first limiting groove 211 along the axial direction of the first end of the ear hook 10. The first protrusion 101 is located in the first limiting groove 211.
[0028] The playback device 30 is provided with a second fixing groove 31, which is engaged and fixed to the second end of the ear hook 10. The inner wall of the second fixing groove 31 is provided with a second limiting groove 312 along the axial direction of the second end of the ear hook 10. The second protrusion 102 is located in the first limiting groove 211.
[0029] The aforementioned clamping member 20 is used to assist in clamping the playback member 30. During use, the clamping member 20 and the playback member 30 are located on two opposing surfaces of the auricle, and clamping is achieved through the joint action of the clamping member 20 and the playback member 30.
[0030] The aforementioned playback device 30 is a component that communicates with the user's personal terminal. Through the playback device 30, audio data sent by the personal terminal can be received and the corresponding audio data can be played.
[0031] The ear hook 10 is used to connect the clamping member 20 and the playback member 30, so that the clamping member 20 and the playback member 30 can clamp the user's auricle so that the playback member 30 can play audio. It should be noted that in order to adapt to the shape of the user's auricle, the ear hook 10 needs to be designed as a U-shaped structure so that the clamping member 20 and the playback member 30 can clamp the two opposite surfaces of the auricle.
[0032] Specifically, the first end of the ear hook 10 is connected to the clamping member 20, and the second end of the ear hook 10 is connected to the playback member 30, so that there is a certain distance between the clamping member 20 and the playback member 30. This distance is adapted to the thickness of the user's ear, so that the earphone can be clamped on the ear.
[0033] It should be noted that when the ear hook 10 is connected to the clamp 20 or the playback device 30, the clamp 20 or the playback device 30 can rotate with the ear hook 10 as the rotation center, affecting the wearing stability of the headphones. In order to improve the wearing stability of the headphones, a first protrusion 101 is provided at the first end of the ear hook 10, and a first fixing groove 21 is provided in the clamp 20. The inner wall of the first fixing groove 21 is provided with a first limiting groove 211 along the axial direction of the first end of the ear hook 10. When the ear hook 10 is fixed to the clamp 20, the first end of the clamp 20 is located in the first fixing groove 21, and the first protrusion 101 is located in the first limiting groove 211. In this way, the first protrusion 101 is limited by the first limiting groove 211, so that the clamp 20 cannot rotate relative to the first end of the ear hook 10, or the rotation angle is strictly controlled within a very small range, avoiding the displacement of the headphone's center of gravity and instability caused by rotation, thus improving the stability of the connection.
[0034] Similarly, a second protrusion 102 is provided at the second end of the ear hook 10, and a second fixing groove 31 is provided in the playback device 30. The inner wall of the second fixing groove 31 is provided with a second limiting groove 312 along the axial direction of the second end of the ear hook 10. When the ear hook 10 and the playback device 30 are fixed, the second end of the playback device 30 is located in the second fixing groove 31, and the second protrusion 102 is located in the second limiting groove 312. In this way, the second protrusion 102 is limited by the second limiting groove 312, so that the playback device 30 cannot rotate relative to the second end of the ear hook 10, or the rotation angle is strictly controlled within a very small range, avoiding the displacement and instability of the headphone center of gravity due to rotation, and improving the stability of the connection.
[0035] In some embodiments, in order to achieve a stable connection between the first end of the ear hook 10 and the clamping member 20, the shape of the first end of the ear hook 10 is adapted to the shape of the first fixing groove 21 of the clamping member 20, and the size of the first end of the ear hook 10 is adapted to the size of the first fixing groove 21 of the clamping member 20, so that the first end of the ear hook 10 can be stably connected to the first fixing groove 21.
[0036] In some embodiments, in order to achieve a stable connection between the second end of the ear hook 10 and the playback device 30, the shape of the second end of the ear hook 10 is adapted to the shape of the second fixing groove 31 of the clamping member 20, and the size of the second end of the ear hook 10 is adapted to the size of the second fixing groove 31 of the clamping member 20, so that the second end of the ear hook 10 can be stably connected to the second fixing groove 31.
[0037] In this embodiment of the utility model, the earphone includes: an ear hook 10, which has a U-shaped structure, a first protrusion 101 at the first end of the ear hook 10, and a second protrusion 102 at the second end of the ear hook 10; a clamping member 20, which has a first fixing groove 21, which is engaged and fixed to the first end of the ear hook 10, and the inner wall of the first fixing groove 21 is provided with a first limiting groove 211 along the axial direction of the first end of the ear hook 10, and the first protrusion 101 is located in the first limiting groove 211; and a playback member 30, which has a second fixing groove 31, which is engaged and fixed to the second end of the ear hook 10, and the inner wall of the second fixing groove 31 is provided with a second limiting groove 312 along the axial direction of the second end of the ear hook 10, and the second protrusion 102 is located in the first limiting groove 211. In this way, the first protrusion 101 is limited by the first limiting groove 211, so that the clamping member 20 cannot rotate relative to the first end of the ear hook 10; the second protrusion 102 is limited by the second limiting groove 312, so that the playback member 30 cannot rotate relative to the second end of the ear hook 10, thereby improving the stability of the headphones during wearing.
[0038] In one embodiment, the first fixing groove 21 has a first annular protrusion 201 near the first end of the ear hook 10, and the first end of the ear hook 10 has a first annular groove.

[0039] The second fixing groove 31 is provided with a second annular protrusion 301 near the second end of the ear hook 10, and the second end of the ear hook 10 is provided with a second annular groove. The second end of the ear hook 10 and the playback device 30 are fixed by the second annular groove and the second annular protrusion 301.
[0040] In this embodiment of the present invention, the first fixing groove 21 is provided with a first annular protrusion 201 near the first end of the ear hook 10, and the first end of the ear hook 10 is provided with a first annular groove. The first end of the ear hook 10 and the clamping member 20 are engaged and fixed through the first annular groove and the first annular protrusion 201. Thus, the first end of the ear hook 10 and the clamping member 20 are engaged and fixed through the first annular protrusion 201 and the first annular groove. Further, the second fixing groove 31 is provided with a second annular protrusion 301 near the second end of the ear hook 10, and the second end of the ear hook 10 is provided with a second annular groove. The second end of the ear hook 10 and the playback member 30 are engaged and fixed through the second annular groove and the second annular protrusion 301. Thus, the second end of the ear hook 10 and the playback member 30 are engaged and fixed through the second annular protrusion 301 and the second annular groove.
[0041] In some embodiments, the first annular protrusion 201 may be a first protrusion 101, and the second annular protrusion 301 may be a second protrusion 102.
[0042] The first annular protrusion 201 and the first annular groove are connected by an interference fit, so that the first annular protrusion 201 and the first annular groove can be tightly connected; and / or, the second annular protrusion 301 and the second annular groove are connected by an interference fit, so that the second annular protrusion 301 and the second annular groove can be tightly connected.
[0043] It should be noted that after the first end of the ear hook 10 is connected to the clamping member 20 and the second end of the ear hook 10 is connected to the playback member 30, the first end of the ear hook 10 may move with the clamping member 20 in the axial direction, and the second end of the ear hook 10 may move with the playback member 30 in the axial direction. To improve the stability of the connection, the first end of the ear hook 10 is provided with a first annular groove, and the first fixing groove 21 is provided with a first annular protrusion 201 near the first end of the ear hook 10. The clamping member 20 is limited in the axial direction by the first annular groove and the first annular protrusion 201. The second end of the ear hook 10 is provided with a second annular groove, and the second fixing groove 31 is provided with a second annular protrusion 301 near the second end of the ear hook 10. The playback member 30 is limited in the axial direction by the second annular groove and the second annular protrusion 301.
[0044] In some embodiments, in addition to the above methods, a male buckle can be provided at the first end of the ear hook 10, and a female buckle can be provided in the first fixing groove 21 of the clamping member 20, so that the first end of the ear hook 10 can be engaged with the clamping member 20 through the male buckle and the female buckle; and / or, a male buckle can be provided at the second end of the ear hook 10, and a female buckle can be provided in the first fixing groove 21 of the playback member 30, so that the second end of the ear hook 10 can be engaged with the playback member 30 through the male buckle and the female buckle.
[0045] In one embodiment, the ear hook 10 is provided with an elastic covering layer 11 on its outer periphery, and the size of the elastic covering layer 11 is adapted to the size of the ear hook 10.
[0046] In this embodiment of the invention, an elastic covering layer 11 is provided on the outer periphery of the ear hook 10, and the size of the elastic covering layer 11 is adapted to the size of the ear hook 10. In this way, the elastic covering layer 11 covers the ear hook 10, and when wearing the headphones, the auricle directly contacts the elastic covering layer 11, effectively improving the user's wearing experience.
[0047] In some embodiments, the elastic covering layer 11 of the ear hook 10 is made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) soft rubber, which has good softness and elasticity, and can achieve a good covering effect. At the same time, the elasticity of TPE soft rubber can also adapt to the differences in ear shape and size of different users to a certain extent, so that the earphone fits the user's auricle.
[0048] It should be noted that, in order to achieve complete coverage of the ear hook 10 by the elastic covering layer 11, the size of the elastic covering layer 11 is adapted to the size of the ear hook 10, and the shape of the elastic covering layer 11 is adapted to the shape of the ear hook 10.
[0049] In one embodiment, the ear hook 10 is a hollow structure, and a titanium wire 12 is provided inside the hollow structure. The first end of the titanium wire 12 is located in the first fixing groove 21, and the second end of the titanium wire 12 is located in the second fixing groove 31.
[0050] It should be noted that the titanium wire 12 has high strength and good elastic recovery properties. The titanium wire 12 provides the necessary support for the ear hook 10, allowing it to maintain a specific shape and curvature, thus providing sufficient clamping force to ensure the earphones fit securely to the ear and are not easily slipped off. The elastic recovery properties of the titanium wire 12 also ensure that the ear hook 10 can return to its initial shape after prolonged use or repeated bending, maintaining good performance.
[0051] In this embodiment of the invention, the ear hook 10 has a hollow structure, within which a titanium wire 12 is disposed. The first end of the titanium wire 12 is located within the first fixing groove 21, and the second end of the titanium wire 12 is located within the second fixing groove 31. Thus, the titanium wire 12 provides the ear hook 10 with a certain degree of elasticity and resilience, allowing it to compress the playback device 30 and the clamping device 20, thereby securing the earphone to the ear. Simultaneously, the elasticity of the titanium wire 12 allows the earphone to be removed from the ear when not in use.
[0052] In one embodiment, the shape of the titanium wire 12 is adapted to the shape of the ear hook 10, and the size of the titanium wire 12 is adapted to the size of the ear hook 10.
[0053] In this embodiment of the invention, the shape of the titanium wire 12 is adapted to the shape of the ear hook 10, and the size of the titanium wire 12 is adapted to the size of the ear hook 10. Thus, the titanium wire 12 allows the ear hook 10 to maintain a certain shape while providing sufficient clamping force, thereby securing the earphone to the ear.
[0054] In one embodiment, the side of the clamping member 20 closest to the playback member 30 has a first curved surface structure, and the side of the playback member 30 closest to the clamping member 20 has a second curved surface structure.

To effectively improve the wearing experience, in this embodiment of the invention, the side of the clamping component 20 closest to the playback component 30 has a first curved surface structure, and the side of the playback component 30 closest to the clamping component 20 has a second curved surface structure. This allows the first and second curved surface structures to conform to the auricle, avoiding direct contact between sharp parts and the auricle, thus effectively improving the user's wearing experience.
[0056] In one embodiment, the size of the first curved surface structure is adapted to the size of the second curved surface structure.
[0057] In this embodiment of the invention, the size of the first curved surface structure is adapted to the size of the second curved surface structure, so that the first curved surface structure and the second curved surface structure can fit the user's auricle.
[0058] In some embodiments, in addition to setting the side of the clamping member 20 near the playback member 30 as a first curved surface structure, the side of the clamping member 20 near the playback member 30 can also be set as other shapes adapted to the auricle; similarly, in addition to setting the side of the playback member 30 near the clamping member 20 as a second curved surface structure, the side of the playback member 30 near the clamping member 20 can also be set as other shapes adapted to the auricle.
[0059] In one embodiment, the playback device 30 has an opening 32 on the side away from the ear hook 10.
[0060] In this embodiment of the present invention, the playback device 30 has an opening 32 on the side away from the ear hook 10, through which the audio played by the playback device 30 is output to the environment.
[0061] In some implementations, a specific installation process for the headphones is also provided, including:
[0062] During installation, align the first end of the ear hook 10 with the first fixing groove 21, or align the second end of the ear hook 10 with the second fixing groove 31, and apply pressure axially. At this time, the first annular protrusion 201 and the first annular groove engage, or the second annular protrusion 301 and the second annular groove engage. After engagement, rotate the playback component 30 or the clamping component 20 so that the first protrusion 101 enters the first limiting groove 211 and the second protrusion 102 enters the second limiting groove 312, thereby restricting the rotation of the clamping component 20 and the playback component 30. At the same time, the outer shell of the clamping component 20 and the outer shell of the playback component 30 are rigidly connected by a snap-fit structure formed by secondary injection molding, so that the ear hook 10, the clamping component 20, and the playback component 30 constitute a complete force-bearing unit.
