Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of smart wearable technology, and in particular relates to an in-ear audio glasses temple and smart glasses. Background Technology
[0002] As living standards continue to improve, more and more people are choosing to wear smart glasses. Smart glasses are a new type of smart device. While achieving the basic functions of glasses through the lenses, the temples of the glasses usually also have built-in audio components. The audio components are paired and connected to electronic products such as mobile phones through wireless modules such as Bluetooth to enable functions such as listening to music and making phone calls, which is quite convenient to use.
[0003] In existing technologies, sound holes are typically created on the outer shell of eyeglass temples to allow sound played by the audio components inside the temples to be transmitted to the outside. However, if the sound hole is located on the inside of the temple, it is easily blocked by the user's facial skin, resulting in poor listening quality. If the sound hole is located on the outside of the temple, it is prone to sound leakage, leading to poor privacy. Therefore, it is necessary to design a new audio-enabled eyeglass temple and smart glasses to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0039] See appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 8 and attached Figure 10 - Appendix Figure 11 An in-ear audio glasses temple includes a temple body 1 and an audio component 2. The temple body 1 includes a temple arm 11, an ear hook 12 and an in-ear part 13. The first end of the temple arm 11 is used to connect to the frame 4. The ear hook 12 is installed on the temple arm 11 and can be suspended on the ear P. The in-ear part 13 is slidably installed on the tail end of the temple arm 11 and corresponds to the external auditory canal P0 of the ear P. The in-ear part 13 also has a sound hole 130. The audio component 2 is installed in the in-ear part 13 and corresponds to the sound hole 130.
[0040] Specifically, under normal circumstances, the ear hook 12 is suspended on the ear P so that the tail end of the leg arm 11 is aligned with the external auditory canal P0 of the ear P, while the ear inlet 13 remains outside. When it is necessary to use the audio component 2 to play music or voice information, the ear inlet 13 is slid into the external auditory canal P0, so that the audio component 2 remains in the external auditory canal P0 and plays sound through the sound hole 130. After use, the ear inlet 13 is slid out of the external auditory canal P0.
[0041] In summary, the temples of these in-ear audio glasses are connected to the frame 4 via the temple arm 11, and the ear hook 12 is adapted to suspend the ear P. The in-ear part 13, installed at the end of the temple arm 11, is aligned with the external auditory canal P0 of the ear P. By designing the in-ear part 13 and the end of the temple arm 11 to slide together, the audio component 2 can slide in and out of the external auditory canal P0 with the in-ear part 13, making it very convenient to carry and use. When the audio component 2 is in use, the in-ear part 13 can enter the external auditory canal P0 to avoid the sound hole 130 being blocked, ensuring that the audio component 2 can play in the external auditory canal P0, thereby ensuring sound quality, improving listening effect, and preventing sound leakage from external speakers, thus ensuring privacy. When the audio component 2 is not in use, the in-ear part 13 can be removed from the external auditory canal P0, avoiding discomfort in the external auditory canal P0 caused by long-term wear, and improving the user experience.
[0042] See appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 5 and attached Figure 10 The ear hook 12 and the leg arm 11 combine to form a Y-shaped structure. This design allows the ear hook 12 to hang on the outer contour of the ear P, and the tail end of the leg arm 11 can help to abut against the inner wall of the ear P. This not only improves the wearing stability, but also allows the ear inlet 13 to be aligned with the external auditory canal P0, making it easy for the ear inlet 13 to smoothly enter and exit the external auditory canal P0.
[0043] It should be noted that the ear hook 12 can also be set to an arc shape that fits the outer contour of the ear P. Since its shape is diverse, this utility model does not limit it.
[0044] See appendix Figure 2 - Appendix Figure 8 and attached Figure 10 - Appendix Figure 11 The end of the leg arm 11 is provided with a slide 110 extending toward the external auditory canal P0, and a guide block 111 is provided on the inner wall of the slide 110; the ear inlet 13 is provided with a guide groove 131, and the guide block 111 is slidably connected to the guide groove 131 and has sliding damping.
[0045] Specifically, during use, moving the earpiece 13 along the slide 110 can drive the audio component 2 into the ear canal P0; the cooperation between the guide block 111 and the guide groove 131 can prevent the earpiece 13 from dislodging from the slide groove and ensure sliding stability; and because there is sliding damping between the guide block 111 and the guide groove 131, the user can adjust the relative position between the earpiece 13 and the ear canal P0 as needed, ensuring that the audio component 2 can accurately stop at the required position, further improving the user experience.
[0046] See appendix Figure 2 - Appendix Figure 8 Multiple magnetic blocks 11x are installed inside the tail end of the leg arm 11, and the multiple magnetic blocks 11x are arranged in a straight line along the length direction of the slide 110; magnetic blocks 13x that can be attached to the magnetic blocks 11x are installed inside the ear part 13.
[0047] Specifically, when the earpiece 13 moves along the slide 110, the magnetic block 13x can attract / detach from multiple magnetic blocks 11x one by one to provide sliding damping. When the earpiece 13 slides to the desired position, the magnetic block 13x attracts the currently matched magnetic block 11x, so that the earpiece 13 can be stably stopped at the current position.
[0048] Furthermore, in addition to using the magnetic block 11x and magnetic block 13x in combination, the guide block 111 and the guide groove 131 can also be designed as an interference fit to have sliding damping, or other structures can be set to lock the sliding ear part 13. Since there are many types of related structures, this utility model does not limit them.
[0049] See appendix Figure 4 - Appendix Figure 8 The sound hole 130 is connected to the guide groove 131 and is connected to the outside through the guide groove 131. When the ear canal 13 is far away from the external auditory canal P0 and is located in the slide 110, the guide block 111 blocks the sound hole 130. This design can prevent dust, water stains and other debris from the outside from seeping into the ear canal 13 through the sound hole 130 when the audio component 2 is not in use, thereby preventing damage to the audio component 2 and extending the service life of the audio component 2.
[0050] See appendix Figure 7 - Appendix Figure 8 The in-ear portion 13 includes a base block 132 and a top cover 133. The guide groove 131 and the sound hole 130 are both provided on the base block 132. The base block 132 is provided with a first fixing groove 1321 for placing the audio component 2 and a second fixing groove 1322 for placing the magnetic block 13x. The top cover 133 is detachably installed on the base block 132 and surrounds the audio component 2 and the magnetic block 13x. This design facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the audio component 2 and the magnetic block 13x.
[0051] See appendix Figure 4 - Appendix Figure 8 The audio component 2 includes a speaker 21 or a bone conduction transmitter (not shown in the figure). The speaker 21 or the bone conduction transmitter is installed in the ear canal 13 and corresponds to the sound hole 130. The speaker 21 generally produces sound through a horn, which allows the sound to travel farther and louder, while the bone conduction transmitter transmits sound by vibrating the skull, which provides greater privacy. By setting different sound transmission methods, users can choose according to their own needs.
[0052] See appendix Figure 4The audio component 2 also includes a microphone 22, which is installed inside the leg arm 11 or inside the earpiece 13 (not shown in the figure). The leg arm 11 is provided with a sound receiving hole (not shown in the figure), or the earpiece 13 is provided with a sound receiving hole 112, which corresponds to the microphone 22. The microphone 22 is designed to receive sound, making it convenient for users to perform voice control or voice chat.
[0053] See appendix Figure 4 - Appendix Figure 6 The present invention also includes a control unit 3, which includes a circuit board 31 and a battery 32. Both the circuit board 31 and the battery 32 are installed inside the leg arm 11, and the circuit board 31 is electrically connected to the audio component 2 and the battery 32.
[0054] Specifically, the battery 32 supplies power to the circuit board 31 and the audio component 2. The three are connected by wires (not shown in the figure), and the relative position of the circuit board 31 within the leg arm 11 is unrestricted, so that the audio component 2 installed in the earpiece 13 can play audio under the control of the circuit board 31, ensuring the normal sound output of the audio component 2. Since the relevant technology is relatively conventional in the field of electronics, its specific circuit structure will not be described in detail in this utility model.
[0055] See appendix Figure 4 - Appendix Figure 6 The leg arm 11 has an outwardly opening receiving cavity 113 inside, where the circuit board 31 and the battery 32 are installed. The magnetic block 11x is also installed in the receiving cavity 113 and located at the tail end of the leg arm 11. A cover strip 114 is detachably installed on the leg arm 11 at the opening of the receiving cavity 113. This design facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the circuit board 31, the battery 32 and the magnetic block 11x.
[0056] The circuit board 31 has wires arranged along the receiving cavity 113, and the wires eventually pass through the receiving cavity 113 to the earpiece 13 and connect to the audio component 2, so as to directly realize the electrical connection between the circuit board 31 and the audio component 2, and complete the power supply and signal transmission.
[0057] In another embodiment, the earpiece 13 may also have a built-in battery (not shown in the figure) to directly power the audio component 2. The audio component 2 can also transmit signals to the circuit board 31 via wireless modules such as Bluetooth. With this design, the wire restriction can be removed, making it easier for the earpiece 13 to slide.
[0058] In addition, the audio component 2 also includes a microphone 22, and in an embodiment where the microphone 22 is installed in the leg arm 11, the microphone 22 is specifically installed in the receiving cavity 113 and is directly electrically connected to the circuit board 31, while the sound receiving hole 112 is connected to the receiving cavity 113 and corresponds to the microphone 22.
[0059] See appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 6 The control unit 3 also includes a charging component 33, which is installed on the outer wall of the leg arm 11 and electrically connected to the circuit board 31. The charging component 33 is a charging socket (not shown in the figure) or a charging contact 330. The user can replenish the battery 32 by connecting the appropriate charger to the charging socket or charging contact 330. The operation is convenient and simple.
[0060] See appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 5 The control unit 3 also includes a volume button 34, which is installed on the outer wall of the leg arm 11 and electrically connected to the circuit board 31. When the user presses the volume button 34, the volume can be reduced or increased to directly adjust the volume of the audio component 2 without having to adjust it through the device terminal, making the use of this embodiment more convenient. Since the relevant technology is relatively conventional in the field of electronics, its specific circuit structure will not be described in detail in this utility model.
[0061] See appendix Figure 9 - Appendix Figure 11 A smart glasses, comprising a frame 4 with lenses 5 and in-ear audio glasses temples, wherein two sets of in-ear audio glasses temples are provided and symmetrically arranged at the left and right ends of the frame 4, and the arms 11 of the two sets of in-ear audio glasses temples are hinged to the frame 4.
[0062] Specifically, under normal circumstances, the two sets of in-ear audio glasses temples are folded onto the frame 4 to improve portability; when wearing them, unfold the two sets of in-ear audio glasses temples and hang the ear hooks 12 on the ears P; when in use, the user can slide the ear hooks 13 of one or two sets of in-ear audio glasses temples into the external auditory canal P0 as needed, so that one or two sets of audio components 2 play sound in the corresponding external auditory canal P0, thereby improving the listening effect and ensuring privacy.
[0063] It should be noted that there are various types of hinge structures between the arm 11 and the frame 4, and these are conventional technical structures in the field of eyewear. Therefore, the utility model cannot leave this aspect unrestricted and undescribed.
[0064] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
