Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smart earphone technology, and in particular to a smart earphone with hearing protection function. Background Technology

[0002] Headphones are a pair of transducers that receive electrical signals from a media player or receiver and convert them into audible sound waves using speakers placed close to the ears. Headphones can be detached from the media player and connected with just a plug, allowing for private listening without disturbing others; they can also isolate ambient noise, which is helpful for people using them in noisy environments such as recording studios, bars, while traveling, or exercising.

[0003] Headphones, as an essential item for daily music listening, are generally divided into two types: over-ear and in-ear. In-ear headphones transmit music directly to the eardrum by inserting them into the ear canal, maximizing the reproduction of music for the listener. Since prolonged use of headphones may affect hearing, current technology uses hardware design, software functions, and usage habits to protect hearing. However, prolonged use in hot and stuffy environments can cause itching and inflammation of the ear canal skin, affecting user comfort. In addition, because headphones are small and can accumulate oil secreted from the ear canal when worn for extended periods, they are prone to slipping from the user's hand and causing damage.

[0004] To address this, we designed a smart headphone with hearing protection features. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of itching caused by prolonged wear and the risk of slipping and breaking when not in use, and to propose a smart earphone with hearing protection function.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A smart earphone with hearing protection function includes an earphone body, a first sound outlet disposed at the front end of the earphone body, and a second sound outlet disposed on the side wall of the earphone body, and also includes;

[0008] An anti-itch component, comprising a first skin-friendly body disposed on the side wall of the earphone body, a second skin-friendly body symmetrically disposed on the first skin-friendly body, and a plurality of third skin-friendly bodies disposed on the earphone body;

[0009] An anti-detachment component is disposed on the outside of the earphone body to improve the surface roughness of the earphone body.

[0010] Preferably, the anti-dislodgement component includes a first touch layer disposed on the top of the earphone body and a second touch layer disposed on the side wall of the earphone body.

[0011] Preferably, the earphone body is provided with a breathable component, which includes a plurality of first holes disposed on the side wall of the earphone body and a plurality of second holes disposed on the top of the first touch layer and connected to the first holes.

[0012] Preferably, the first sound outlet is provided with a noise reduction component, which includes a plurality of first bends disposed on one side of the inner wall of the first sound outlet and a plurality of second bends disposed on the other side of the inner wall of the first sound outlet.

[0013] Preferably, the first sound outlet is further provided with a filter assembly, which includes a groove disposed on the first bend, a third hole symmetrically disposed in the groove, and a fourth hole disposed on the side wall of the second bend.

[0014] Preferably, a fourth skin-friendly material is provided on the outer side of the first sound outlet.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. This utility model, through the design of a first skin-friendly body and a first hole, effectively improves the contact feel between the earphone body and the ear canal skin when the listener wears the earphone body, reducing contact with the smooth surface of the earphone body. At the same time, the second skin-friendly body can increase the overlapping effect on both sides of the first skin-friendly body, thereby increasing the fit between the first skin-friendly body and the ear canal skin. With the first hole and the second hole connected, the problem of air humidity at the second sound outlet can be effectively reduced, and the air circulation in the ear canal space can be increased. Compared with the prior art, this not only improves the wearing effect of the earphone body, but also reduces symptoms such as itching in the ear canal skin, thereby improving the user experience of the earphone body.

[0017] 2. By setting the first bend and the second bend, when the listener uses the headphone body, the excess white noise at the first sound outlet can be effectively reduced by the multiple first bends and the second bends, and then replaced by the original music sound. At the same time, with the setting of the third hole and the second hole, the white noise can be effectively prevented from being blocked and affecting the original sound, thereby improving the original sound effect of the headphone body.

Detailed Implementation

[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 of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-5 A smart earphone with hearing protection function includes an earphone body 1, a first sound outlet 2 disposed at the front end of the earphone body 1, and a second sound outlet 3 disposed on the side wall of the earphone body 1. It also includes an anti-itch component and an anti-drop component disposed on the outside of the earphone body 1. The anti-itch component is specifically disposed on the side wall of the earphone body 1 between the first sound outlet 2 and the second sound outlet 3. The anti-itch component mainly reduces the contact between the smooth side wall of the earphone body 1 and the skin at the ear canal opening after the listener wears the earphone body 1, thereby improving the wearing comfort of the earphone body 1 and reducing ear canal itching and inflammation that may occur after wearing the earphone body 1 for a long time. The anti-drop component can increase the surface roughness of the earphone body 1 to prevent the earphone from slipping out of the user's hand.

[0026] When using the earphone body 1, the user simply inserts the earphone into the ear canal normally. Before insertion, ensure that there are no foreign objects blocking the first sound outlet 2 and the second sound outlet 3. If there is dust blockage, it can be cleaned using normal cleaning methods. Both the first sound outlet 2 and the second sound outlet 3 are equipped with dustproof meshes, but the dustproof mesh is not shown in the first sound outlet 2 mainly to facilitate observation of the internal structure. After the earphone body 1 is inserted into the ear canal, it can be manually adjusted to ensure that the earphone body 1 is kept in a comfortable state. In addition, the anti-itch component can prevent the earphone body 1 from being worn in the ear canal for a long time, causing moisture and itching inside the ear canal, thus improving the user's comfort. Furthermore, when the user picks up the earphone body 1, the anti-drop component can increase the friction between the earphone body 1 and the user's fingers, preventing the earphone body 1 from slipping out of the user's hand and breaking, thereby improving the service life of the earphone body.

[0027] It should be noted that hearing protection in headphones is mainly implemented through three aspects: hardware design, software functions, and usage habits, as detailed below;

[0028] 1. The hardware design is achieved through volume limiting, noise cancellation technology, and earpad / earplug materials:

[0029] Some headphones, especially children's headphones, limit the maximum output volume through hardware, such as the EU standard EN 50332 which stipulates that it should not exceed 85dB, to avoid instantaneous high decibel damage to the eardrum.

[0030] Active noise cancellation (ANC) and passive noise cancellation with physical sound insulation can reduce ambient noise, allowing users to hear content clearly without turning up the volume, thus indirectly protecting their hearing.

[0031] Comfortable, well-fitting earmuffs or silicone earplugs can enhance sound insulation and reduce external noise interference.

[0032] 2. The software functions include volume level reminders, automatic volume adjustment, and hearing test calibration.

[0033] Mobile phone or headphone apps such as Apple Health and Sony Headphones Connect will monitor volume exposure time and issue a warning when it exceeds a safe threshold.

[0034] Dynamically adjust the volume based on ambient noise, such as AirPods Pro's "Adaptive Audio," to prevent users from manually adjusting the volume to too high.

[0035] Some apps, such as Cochlear Imaging, allow users to customize their personal hearing curves and optimize audio output to reduce hearing strain.

[0036] 3. Usage suggestions and habits: follow the "60 / 60 rule," choose the appropriate headphone type, and clean the headphones regularly;

[0037] Keep the volume below 60% and do not use continuously for more than 60 minutes to allow your ears to rest.

[0038] Use noise-canceling headphones in noisy environments and avoid turning up the volume to cover up the noise when using in-ear headphones;

[0039] Earplugs can cause users to increase the volume, affecting sound clarity.

[0040] Specifically, refer to Figures 1-5 The anti-itch component includes a first skin-friendly body 4 disposed on the side wall of the earphone body 1, a second skin-friendly body 401 symmetrically disposed on the first skin-friendly body 4, and a plurality of third skin-friendly bodies 402 disposed on the earphone body 1.

[0041] The anti-dislodgement component includes a first touch layer 101 disposed on the top of the earphone body 1 and a second touch layer 102 disposed on the side wall of the earphone body 1;

[0042] The earphone body 1 is provided with a ventilation component, which includes a number of first holes 103 disposed on the side wall of the earphone body 1 and a number of second holes 104 disposed on the top of the first touch layer 101 and connected to the first holes 103.

[0043] When the earphone body 1 is inserted into the ear canal by the listener, the first skin-friendly body 4, which is arc-shaped, will initially make contact with the skin of the ear canal. As the earphone body 1 is inserted deeper, the second skin-friendly bodies 401 on both sides of the first skin-friendly body 4 will also increase the contact with the skin of the ear canal. Finally, the earphone body 1 completely blocks the ear canal opening, and multiple orderly arranged third skin-friendly bodies 402 will make contact with the skin of the ear canal accordingly, reducing the itching caused by the smooth surface of the earphone body 1 and prolonged wear. At the same time, the first skin-friendly body 4, the second skin-friendly body 401, and the third skin-friendly body 402 are arranged in a progressive manner on the side wall of the earphone body 1. When the listener pulls out the earphone body 1, the first skin-friendly body 4, the second skin-friendly body 401, and the third skin-friendly body 402 will not cause damage to the skin of the ear canal. Since everyone's usage habits are different, the protection of hearing depends on the position of each earphone body 1 in the ear canal. The existing earphone body 1 is usually smooth and curved around the edges. After wearing it for a long time, an oil film will appear on the surface of the earphone body 1. When adjusting or removing the earphone body 1, it may slip out of the ear canal. At this time, the listener can manually touch the first touch layer 101 on the top of the earphone body 1 and the second touch layer 102 on the side wall to increase the friction between the finger and the earphone body 1 and avoid the problem of the earphone body 1 slipping out due to the oil film. When a listener uses the earphone body 1 for a long time, the existing earphone body 1 shell is closed except for the sound outlet, which creates a stuffy and hot environment after the earphone body 1 is inserted into the ear canal. This is the main reason for the stuffiness and itching in the ear canal. The three first holes 103 on the side wall of the earphone body 1 extend in an L shape towards the first touch layer 101 and communicate with the second hole 104 on the top of the first touch layer 101. This ensures air circulation to the skin at the third skin-friendly body 402 and the second sound outlet 3, thereby reducing the stuffiness and itching in the ear canal and improving the user's comfort.

[0044] In addition, a fourth skin-friendly body 5 is provided on the side wall of the first sound outlet 2 and is located at the outer ring of the first sound outlet 2. The embedded fourth skin-friendly body 5 can effectively improve the comfort of the earphone body 1 entering the ear canal. At the same time, the addition of skin-friendly material can also effectively reduce the accumulation of dust at the first sound outlet 2, ensuring the cleanliness of the first sound outlet 2, and also preventing the earphone body 1 from falling off the ear.

[0045] It should be noted that the first skin-friendly body 4, the second skin-friendly body 401, and the third skin-friendly body 402 mentioned in the article are all made of existing liquid silicone. Although the cost is higher, they can be used for a longer time compared to medical-grade silicone and memory foam, and will not slip due to sweat.

[0046] The oil film mentioned in the article is a product of prolonged contact between plastic objects and skin, where sweat from the skin comes into contact with and evaporates from the plastic objects. This causes a film to form on the surface of the plastic parts, making them slippery and affecting the user experience.

[0047] The first touch layer 101 and the second touch layer 102 in the text are made of rubber, which changes the original shape of the earphone body 1. In addition to the addition of skin-friendly materials, the earphone body 1 is more comfortable for the listener to adjust. At the same time, the skin-friendly materials will also reduce the damage to the skin in the ear canal.

[0048] The first hole 103 and the second hole 104 in the text are opened along the outer wall of the earphone body 1 and will not directly affect the internal circuitry of the earphone body 1.

[0049] The first sound outlet 2 is provided with a noise reduction component, which includes a number of first bends 201 disposed on one side of the inner wall of the first sound outlet 2 and a number of second bends 204 disposed on the other side of the inner wall of the first sound outlet 2.

[0050] The first sound outlet 2 is also provided with a filter assembly, which includes a groove 202 provided on the first bend 201, a third hole 203 symmetrically provided in the groove 202, and a fourth hole 205 provided on the side wall of the second bend 204.

[0051] When the listener uses the headphone body 1, the multiple first bends 201 and second bends 204 inside the first sound outlet 2 can effectively block and eliminate white noise. At the same time, during the process of eliminating white noise, the first bends 201 and second bends 204 reduce the volume of the white noise emitted by their arrangement, thereby burying the filtered white noise in the original music. The grooves 202 opened in the first bends 201 are mainly arranged with third holes 203, and the fourth holes 205 at the second bends 204 are opened inward along the outer wall, thereby improving the sound quality of the headphone body 1.

[0052] It should be noted that both the first bend 201 and the second bend 204 are made of memory foam material and fixed to the inner wall of the first sound outlet 2. The memory foam material can effectively reduce the probability of white noise entering the ear canal. At the same time, the positions of the first bend 201 and the second bend 204 will not be subjected to long-term compression, thus ensuring the long-term use of the memory foam material.

[0053] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0054] When the listener needs to wear the earphone body 1, the first sound outlet 2 and the second sound outlet 3 should be checked to ensure that there is no excessive dust blocking both areas, which would affect the overall listening experience. Then, the listener presses the first touch layer 101 on the top of the earphone body 1 with one hand and inserts the first sound outlet 2 (with the fourth skin-friendly material 5) into the ear canal. Upon initial insertion, the first and second skin-friendly materials 401 on the side walls will initially contact the ear canal skin. As the earphone body 1 is further inserted, the third skin-friendly material 402 arranged on the side walls of the earphone body 1 increases the comfort of the ear canal skin, thereby improving the efficiency of long-term wear. Simultaneously, the second hole 104, connected by the first hole 103, allows the earphone body 1 to... Based on the airflow around the listener, the air between the third skin-friendly body 402 and the second sound outlet 3 is discharged through the second hole 104, and clean air is introduced. This effectively reduces the moisture of the ear canal skin in this area, thereby reducing symptoms such as itching. Through the design of the first skin-friendly body 4 and the first hole 103, when the listener wears the headphone body 1, the first skin-friendly body 4 and the second skin-friendly body 401 can effectively improve the contact feeling between the headphone body 1 and the ear canal skin, reduce the contact with the smooth surface of the headphone body 1, and at the same time, the second skin-friendly body 401 can increase the overlapping effect on both sides of the first skin-friendly body 4, thereby increasing the fit between the first skin-friendly body 4 and the ear canal skin, thus improving the user's comfort and preventing the headphones from slipping out of the hand and getting damaged.

[0055] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
