Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic product technology, and in particular to an earphone. Background Technology
[0002] Existing clip-on earphones have a flexible shell structure. When in use, the shell is held in place by the elasticity of the shell at the helix of the ear. The structure is relatively small, and it is stable when clipped to the ear, making it less likely to fall off.
[0003] However, because clip-on headphones need to be clipped onto the ear canal, the sound-producing part of the headphones is far from the ear canal, resulting in a lower volume and making it difficult to hear the sound playing inside the headphones in noisy environments. Utility Model Content

[0006] The deformable connecting part is configured to switch between a first state and a second state by deformation. In the first state, the sound-emitting part and the main body part jointly hold the ear, and the sound-emitting part is located in the concha cavity, while the main body part is located on the back side of the ear. In the second state, the sound-emitting part and the main body part fit together and are both located in the concha cavity.
[0007] In one possible implementation, the headphones provided in this application have a sound-emitting part having a first side facing the ear and a second side facing away from the ear. In a first state, the main body is located on the first side of the sound-emitting part, and in a second state, the main body is located on the second side of the sound-emitting part.
[0008] In one possible implementation, the earphone provided in this application has a deformable connecting portion having a first end connected to the sound-emitting portion and a second end connected to the main body portion. The deformable connecting portion is configured such that the first end is circumferentially twisted relative to the second end, and / or the first end is folded relative to the second end.
[0009] In one possible implementation, the earphone provided in this application has a deformable connecting portion configured such that the first end is foldable relative to the second end, and the folding angle of the first end relative to the second end is 180°-360°.
[0010] In one possible implementation, the earphone provided in this application includes a sound-emitting part comprising a first housing and a first magnetic element, and a main body comprising a second housing and a second magnetic element.
[0011] The first magnetic element is disposed in the inner cavity of the first housing, and the second magnetic element is disposed in the inner cavity of the second housing. In the second state, the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element are magnetically attracted to each other so that the first housing and the second housing fit together.
[0012] In one possible implementation, the earphone provided in this application has a first housing comprising a first sidewall facing the ear and a second sidewall facing away from the ear in a first state.
[0013] The second housing includes a third sidewall facing the ear in the first state and a fourth sidewall facing away from the ear.
[0014] The first magnetic element is disposed on the second side wall, and the second magnetic element is disposed on the fourth side wall.
[0015] In one possible implementation, the earphone provided by this application further includes: a third magnetic element and a fourth magnetic element, the third magnetic element being disposed on the first sidewall and the fourth magnetic element being disposed on the third sidewall, wherein in a first state, the third magnetic element and the fourth magnetic element magnetically engage.
[0016] In one possible implementation, the headphones provided in this application further include a speaker in the sound-emitting part, and any one of the first magnetic element and the third magnetic element is arranged offset from the speaker.
[0017] In one possible implementation, the earphones provided in this application have a sound-producing part configured such that the magnetic attraction force of the third magnetic element is greater than that of the first magnetic element; and / or,
[0018] The main body is configured such that the magnetic attraction force of the fourth magnetic element is greater than that of the second magnetic element.
[0019] In one possible implementation, the headphones provided in this application are configured such that the volume of the second housing is smaller than the volume of the first housing.
[0020] In the second state, the main body is located on the side of the sound-emitting part away from the ear, and a stepped structure is formed between the first shell and the second shell, which engages with the tragus.
[0021] The earphone provided in this application is provided with a sound-emitting part, a main body, and a deformable connecting part. One end of the deformable connecting part is connected to the sound-emitting part, and the other end of the deformable connecting part is connected to the main body. By changing the shape of the deformable connecting part, the positional relationship between the sound-emitting part and the main body is changed.

In the second state, the main body and the sound-emitting part are in contact, and the earphone is in the shape of an earplug, with the sound-emitting part and the main body together placed in the concha cavity so that the earphone user can hear the sound played by the earphone more clearly. Therefore, when the headphone user is in a relatively quiet environment, the deformable connector can be adjusted to the first state, allowing the headphones to clip onto the helix of the ear, preventing them from falling out and allowing the user to hear external sounds while reducing damage to the ear canal. When the headphone user enters a noisier environment and has difficulty hearing the sound playing from the headphones, the deformable connector can be adjusted to the second state, placing the entire headphone inside the concha, isolating some external sounds and allowing the user to hear the sound playing from the headphones more clearly. In this way, the headphone user can switch the state of the deformable connector at any time according to the environment and usage needs, making it convenient and highly flexible.

[0040] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0041] As described in the background art, in the prior art, the shape of clip-on headphones is relatively fixed, and they can only be positioned at the helix of the ear through the elasticity of the shell. The sound-producing part of the headphones is far from the ear canal, resulting in a low volume. Users can hear the sound played inside the headphones while also hearing the sound of the external environment.
[0042] When the external environment is relatively quiet, it has little impact on the sound played in the headphones, so the headphones can be used normally. However, when the external environment is noisy, the sounds from the external environment and the sounds from the headphones enter the ear at the same time, making it difficult for the headphone user to hear the sound played in the headphones, resulting in a poor experience.
[0043] In view of this, the present invention provides an earphone, including a sound-emitting part, a main body, and a deformable connecting part. The two opposite ends of the deformable connecting part are connected to the sound-emitting part and the main body, respectively. By adjusting the shape of the deformable connecting part, the earphone can be converted into different shapes. Specifically, when the deformable connecting part is in its first state, the main body and the sound-emitting part can be clamped together at the auricle of the ear, making the earphone clip-on. The sound-emitting part is located within the concha cavity so that the user can clearly hear the sound played by the earphone. At this time, the earphone is stably clamped on the ear by the body and the sound-emitting part and is not easy to fall off. Furthermore, because the sound-emitting part is relatively far from the ear canal, the user can hear the sounds of the external environment while hearing the sound played in the earphone. When the external environment is relatively quiet, the external sounds do not affect the use of the earphone. When the deformable connecting part is in its second state, the main body and the sound-emitting part are fitted together, making the earphone earbud-like. The sound-emitting part and the main body are placed together within the concha cavity. At this time, the earphone can isolate some of the external environmental sounds, improving the clarity of the sound within the earphone. Therefore, headphone users can switch the state of the deformable connector at any time according to their environment and usage needs. When the headphone user is in a relatively quiet environment, the deformable connector can be adjusted to the first state, so that the headphone can be clamped at the helix of the ear, while also reducing the damage of the headphone to the ear canal. When the headphone user enters a more noisy environment, the deformable connector can be adjusted to the second state, so that the entire headphone is placed in the concha cavity, improving the clarity of the sound. It is convenient to operate and highly flexible.
[0044] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0045] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the earphone 100 of this application embodiment includes: a sound-emitting part 110, a main body part 120 and a deformable connecting part 130. The sound-emitting part 110 and the main body part 120 are connected by the deformable connecting part 130. The deformable connecting part 130 is configured to switch between a first state and a second state by deformation. In the first state, the sound-emitting part 110 and the main body part 120 jointly hold the ear 10, and the sound-emitting part 110 is located in the concha cavity 11, while the main body part 120 is located behind the ear 10. In the second state, the sound-emitting part 110 and the main body part 120 are in contact and are both located in the concha cavity 11.
[0046] In this embodiment, the two ends of the deformable connecting part 130 are connected to the sound-emitting part 110 and the main body part 120 respectively. The shape of the earphone 100 can be changed by changing the shape of the deformable connecting part 130. The sound-emitting part 110 is used to play sound. Therefore, in both forms, it is necessary to ensure that the sound-emitting part 110 is located in the concha cavity 11 so that the user can clearly hear the sound played in the earphone 100.
[0047] Specifically, when the deformable connecting part 130 is in the first state, the earphone 100 is in the shape of an ear clip, and the sound-emitting part 110 and the main body part 120 are clamped together on the ear 10 of the user of the earphone 100. At this time, only the sound-emitting part 110 is located in the concha cavity 11. The sound-emitting part 110 is small in size. Therefore, the user of the earphone 100 can hear the sound played by the sound-emitting part 110 while also hearing the sound of the external environment. At the same time, the ear clip-shaped earphone 100 has strong stability when worn and causes less damage to the ear canal.
[0048] When the deformable connecting part 130 is in the second state, the earphone 100 is in the shape of an earplug. At this time, the sound-emitting part 110 and the main body part 120 are placed together in the concha cavity 11. The sound-emitting part 110 and the main body part 120 together act as an earplug, isolating some of the external ambient sound, so that the user of the earphone 100 can hear the sound played in the sound-emitting part 110 more clearly.
[0049] Therefore, in this embodiment of the earphone 100, the user can flexibly adjust the shape of the deformable connecting part 130 according to usage needs. For example, when the external environment is relatively quiet and the user needs to communicate with the outside world while using the earphone 100 or needs to remain vigilant about the environment, the deformable connecting part 130 can be adjusted to the first state, clipping the earphone 100 onto the ear 10. When the external environment is relatively noisy, making it difficult for the user to clearly hear the sound played in the earphone 100, the deformable connecting part 130 can be adjusted to the second state, inserting the earphone 100 into the ear to ensure the clarity of the sound in the earphone 100. In this way, the applicable environment of the earphone 100 can be expanded, the flexibility of the earphone 100 can be improved, and the application scenarios of the earphone 100 can be broadened.
[0050] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the deformable connecting portion 130 can be made of a flexible material. Magnets or other mutually attractive materials are provided within the sound-emitting portion 110 and the main body portion 120. When the deformable connecting portion 130 is in its first state, the earphone 100 is held in place by the attractive force between the sound-emitting portion 110 and the main body portion 120, clamping it onto the user's ear 10. When the deformable connecting portion 130 is in its second state, the sound-emitting portion 110 and the main body portion 120 are attracted together to form a single unit, allowing the earphone 100 to be inserted into the user's concha 11. Alternatively, the deformable connecting portion 130 can be made of a flexible and easily bendable metal material. When the deformable connecting portion 130 is in its first state... The deformable connecting part 130 can adjust the distance between the sound-emitting part 110 and the main body part 120 according to the specific shape of the user's ear 10, ensuring the user's comfort when wearing the headphones 100. When the deformable connecting part 130 is in the second state, the sound-emitting part 110 and the main body part 120 can be merged together when the deformable connecting part 130 is bent. At the same time, a connection structure can be further provided on the sound-emitting part 110 and the main body part 120 to ensure the stability of the connection between the two. The specific structure and materials of the deformable connecting part 130, the sound-emitting part 110 and the main body part 120 are not limited in this application embodiment, as long as the two shapes of the headphones 100 can be arbitrarily changed.
[0051] See also some of the possible implementation methods. Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the sound-emitting part 110 of this application embodiment has a first side 111 facing the ear 10 and a second side 112 facing away from the ear 10. In a first state, the main body part 120 is located on the first side 111 of the sound-emitting part 110, and in a second state, the main body part 120 is located on the second side 112 of the sound-emitting part 110.
[0052] Understandably, in both the first and second states, the first side 111 of the sound-emitting part 110 is positioned facing and in contact with the user's ear 10. Therefore, a flexible material such as a silicone pad can be provided on the first side 111 of the sound-emitting part 110 to improve the comfort of wearing the headphones 100. Simultaneously, the speaker device inside the sound-emitting part 110 for playing sound can be positioned close to the first side 111 of the sound-emitting part 110 to ensure the clarity of the sound heard by the user. In the first state, the main body 120 is located on the first side 111 of the sound-emitting part 110, and the main body 120 and the sound-emitting part 110 are located on opposite sides of the ear 10, together clamping the user's ear 10. In the second state, the main body 120 is located on the second side 112 of the sound-emitting part 110, and the first side 111 of the sound-emitting part 110 is in contact with the ear 10. The main body 120 serves to isolate external ambient sound and also acts as a limiter, ensuring the stability of the headphones 100 within the user's ear.
[0053] The shapes of the sound-emitting part 110 and the main body 120 can also be matched according to the structure of the human ear so that the sound-emitting part 110 and the main body 120 can fit the human ear better and improve the stability of wearing the headphones 100. The specific structure of the sound-emitting part 110 and the main body 120 is not limited in this application embodiment.
[0054] See also some of the possible implementation methods. Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the deformable connecting portion 130 of this application embodiment has a first end 131 connected to the sound-emitting portion 110 and a second end 132 connected to the main body portion 120. The deformable connecting portion 130 is configured such that the first end 131 is circumferentially twisted relative to the second end 132 around the deformable connecting portion 130, and / or the first end 131 is folded relative to the second end 132.
[0055] In specific implementation, the shape of the deformable connecting part 130 can be transformed by twisting or folding the deformable connecting part 130. The specific method can be determined according to the material of the deformable connecting part 130. This application embodiment does not limit this, as long as the main body 120 can be arbitrarily switched between the first side 111 and the second side 112 of the sound-emitting part 110. It is convenient to operate and highly flexible.
[0056] See also some of the possible implementation methods. Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the deformable connecting portion 130 of this application embodiment is configured such that the first end 131 can be folded relative to the second end 132, and the folding angle of the first end 131 relative to the second end 132 is 180°-360°.
[0057] In other words, the deformable connecting part 130 switches between a first state and a second state by folding the first end 131 relative to the second end 132. The folding angle is set to 180°-360°. In the first state, the folding angle can be adjusted according to the thickness of the ear 10 and the comfort of the user wearing the headphones 100, thereby adjusting the distance between the sound-emitting part 110 and the main body 120. In the second state, the folding angle can be adjusted to a suitable angle to make the sound-emitting part 110 and the main body 120 stably connected, and the relative position of the main body 120 can be adjusted according to the shape of the concha 11 to improve the comfort of wearing the headphones 100.
[0058] See also some of the possible implementation methods. Figure 1 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, the sound-emitting part 110 of this application embodiment includes a first housing 113 and a first magnetic element 114, and the main body part 120 includes a second housing 121 and a second magnetic element 122. The first magnetic element 114 is disposed in the inner cavity of the first housing 113, and the second magnetic element 122 is disposed in the inner cavity of the second housing 121. In the second state, the first magnetic element 114 and the second magnetic element 122 magnetically attract each other so that the first housing 113 and the second housing 121 are in contact.
[0059] In a specific implementation, the sound-emitting part 110 and the main body 120 are connected together by the attraction between the first magnetic element 114 and the second magnetic element 122. In the first state, the first shell 113 and the second shell 121 can elastically clamp the ear part 10 through the deformable connecting part 130. At the same time, the first magnetic element 114 and the second magnetic element 122 attract each other, further improving the stability of the clamping. In the second state, the deformable connecting part 130 plays a smaller role in the connection between the first shell 113 and the second shell 121. Through the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic element 114 and the second magnetic element 122, the first shell 113 and the second shell 121 can be prevented from moving relative to each other during wearing, thus affecting the stability and comfort of wearing the earphone 100.
[0060] To better achieve magnetic attraction, the surfaces of the first magnetic element 114 and the second magnetic element 122 facing each other in the second state can be set as opposite magnetic poles. In this way, in the first state, when the first end 131 is rotated 360 degrees relative to the second end 132, the two magnetic poles of the first magnetic element 114 and the second magnetic element 122 facing each other are still opposite, and a strong attraction is always maintained, thereby ensuring the stability of the earphone 100 when worn.
[0061] See also some of the possible implementation methods. Figure 1 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the first housing 113 of this application embodiment includes a first sidewall 1131 facing the ear 10 and a second sidewall 1132 facing away from the ear 10 in the first state. The second housing 121 includes a third sidewall 1211 facing the ear 10 and a fourth sidewall 1212 facing away from the ear 10 in the first state. A first magnetic element 114 is disposed on the second sidewall 1132, and a second magnetic element 122 is disposed on the fourth sidewall 1212.
[0062] Understandably, the main function of the first magnetic element 114 and the second magnetic element 122 is to ensure the stability of the connection between the first housing 113 of the sound-emitting part 110 and the second housing 121 of the main body 120 in the second state. In the first state, the first sidewall 1131 and the third sidewall 1211 are respectively attached to the ear 10. In the second state, the first sidewall 1131 is still attached to the ear 10, and the second sidewall 1132 is attached to the fourth sidewall 1212. Therefore, by setting the first magnetic element 114 and the second magnetic element 122 on the second sidewall 1132 and the fourth sidewall 1212 respectively, the distance between the first magnetic element 114 and the second magnetic element 122 in the second state can be shortened, and the attraction between the first magnetic element 114 and the second magnetic element 122 can be increased, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the sound-emitting part 110 and the main body 120 in the second state.
[0063] See also some of the possible implementation methods. Figure 1 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the embodiments of this application also include: a third magnetic element 115 and a fourth magnetic element 123. The third magnetic element 115 is disposed on the first sidewall 1131, and the fourth magnetic element 123 is disposed on the third sidewall 1211. In the first state, the third magnetic element 115 and the fourth magnetic element 123 are magnetically attracted to each other.
[0064] In some embodiments, a third magnetic element 115 and a fourth magnetic element 123 are respectively provided on the first sidewall 1131 and the third sidewall 1211. In this way, in the first state, the first sidewall 1131 and the third sidewall 1211 are respectively in contact with the ear 10, and the distance between the third magnetic element 115 and the fourth magnetic element 123 is relatively close, so the mutual attraction between the third magnetic element 115 and the fourth magnetic element 123 is relatively large. The earphone 100 can be clamped on the ear 10 by the magnetic force between the third magnetic element 115 and the fourth magnetic element 123 alone. Compared to using a deformable connector 130 made of elastic material to hold the earphone 100 to the ear 10, the wear and tear on the third magnetic component 115 and the fourth magnetic component 123 is less with long-term use of the earphone 100, which helps to improve the service life of the earphone 100. At the same time, the magnetic structure is simple. By relying on magnetic attraction to fix the earphone 100, the manufacturing process requirements of the deformable connector 130 can be reduced. The deformable connector 130 only needs to meet the deformation requirements and does not need to play a fixing role, thereby effectively saving the production cost of the deformable connector 130.
[0065] See also some of the possible implementation methods. Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, the sound-emitting part 110 in this embodiment of the application further includes: a loudspeaker (not shown in the figure), and either the first magnetic element 114 or the third magnetic element 115 is arranged offset from the loudspeaker.
[0066] It should be noted that, since the sound-emitting part 110 is located inside the concha 11 in both the first and second states, and the speaker is placed in the sound-emitting part 110 to ensure that the user of the headphones 100 can clearly hear the sound played by the headphones 100, the first magnetic element 114 and the third magnetic element 115 inside the sound-emitting part 110 must be staggered from the speaker to avoid the magnetic field of the first magnetic element 114 and the third magnetic element 115 being too large and generating noise, thereby ensuring the audio quality played by the headphones 100.
[0067] See also some of the possible implementation methods. Figure 1 , Figure 7 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment of the application, the sound-emitting part 110 is configured such that the magnetic attraction force of the third magnetic element 115 is greater than that of the first magnetic element 114; and / or, the main body part 120 is configured such that the magnetic attraction force of the fourth magnetic element 123 is greater than that of the second magnetic element 122.
[0068] Specifically, in the first state, the sound-emitting part 110 and the main body 120 are mainly held onto the ear part 10 by the magnetic attraction between the third magnetic element 115 and the fourth magnetic element 123. In the second state, the sound-emitting part 110 and the main body 120 are mainly attached by the first magnetic element 114 and the second magnetic element 122. However, in the first state, the ear part 10 is separated from the first sidewall 1131 and the third sidewall 1211, and a certain gap needs to be maintained between the first sidewall 1131 and the third sidewall 1211. In the second state, the second sidewall 1132 and the fourth sidewall 1212 are tightly fitted together. Therefore, in order to ensure the stability of the earphone 100 clamping in the first state, the magnetic attraction force of the third magnetic element 115 needs to be greater than that of the first magnetic element 114, and / or the magnetic attraction force of the fourth magnetic element 123 needs to be greater than that of the second magnetic element 122. In the second state, even if the third magnetic element 115 and the fourth magnetic element 123 are far apart, they can still play a role in assisting the connection between the sound-emitting part 110 and the main body 120.
[0069] See also some of the possible implementation methods. Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the earphone 100 of this application embodiment is configured such that the volume of the second shell 121 is smaller than the volume of the first shell 113, and in the second state, the main body 120 is located on the side of the sound-emitting part 110 away from the ear 10, and a stepped structure is formed between the first shell 113 and the second shell 121, and the stepped structure is engaged with the tragus 12.
[0070] In this embodiment, the volume of the second shell 121 is smaller than that of the first shell 113. This allows the first shell 113 to fit snugly against the ear 10 and partially extend into the ear canal in the second state, thereby sealing the ear canal, reducing the influence of the external environment, and minimizing sound leakage. The other part of the first shell 113 connects to the second shell 121, forming a stepped structure that engages with the tragus 12. This allows the shape of the earphone 100 to better match the shape of the ear 10, ensuring the stability of the earphone 100 in the second state. Reducing the volume of the second shell 121 also reduces the pressure of the earphone 100 on the ear 10 when wearing it, improving the comfort of wearing the earphone 100.
[0071] In summary, the earphone 100 provided in this application includes a sound-emitting part 110, a main body 120, and a deformable connecting part 130. The two ends of the deformable connecting part 130 are connected to the sound-emitting part 110 and the main body 120, respectively. The deformable connecting part 130 can switch between two states: a first state and a second state. In the first state, the earphone 100 is in the shape of an ear clip, with the sound-emitting part 110 and the main body 120 clamping the ear 10. In the second state, the earphone 100 is in the shape of an earplug, with the sound-emitting part 110 fitting snugly against the main body 120, and the entire earphone 100 is inserted into the concha 11. Thus, when the user needs to hear ambient sounds while using the earphone 100, or when the ambient environment is relatively quiet, the deformable connecting part 130 can be adjusted to the first state. When the user enters a noisy environment, the deformable connecting part 130 can be adjusted to the second state to isolate external sounds and seal the ear canal, thereby ensuring that the user can clearly hear the sound played inside the earphone 100. This design is convenient and highly flexible.
