[0030] Figure 1 A schematic perspective view of an earphone according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 2 A perspective view of the headphone according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown schematically from another angle. Figure 1 and 2As shown, this utility model proposes an earphone. The earphone of this utility model includes an earphone body and an image acquisition component. The earphone body includes a shell 11 and a hanging body 12. The hanging body 12 is connected to the shell 11 and is used to hang on the ear. The shell 11 has a receiving cavity 111. The shell 11 is provided with a first opening and a second opening 112 at intervals. The first opening and the second opening 112 are respectively connected to the receiving cavity 111. The image acquisition component includes an image acquisition element and an adjustment element 21. The adjustment element 21 is disposed in the receiving cavity 111 and a portion of the adjustment element 21 extends out of the shell 11 from the first opening. The image acquisition element has a acquisition end. The image acquisition element is disposed in the receiving cavity 111 and the acquisition end protrudes at least to the second opening 112. The adjustment element 21 is connected to the image acquisition element and can drive the image acquisition element to rotate, so as to adjust the pitch angle of the acquisition end.

[0031] By using the earphones in this technical solution, the hanger 12 can hang the shell 11 on the ear to achieve fixation. The operator can operate the adjustment member 21 that extends out of the first opening to drive the rotation of the image acquisition device and adjust the pitch angle of the acquisition end, thereby meeting the imaging needs of different users when using the earphones and thus adapting to a wider range of users.

[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, the acquisition end can be located inside the second opening 112, and the pitch angle can be adjusted as the image acquisition device rotates within the second opening 112. Alternatively, the acquisition end can be inserted through the second opening 112 and protrude outside the housing 11, and the pitch angle can also be adjusted as the image acquisition device rotates.

[0033] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the image acquisition device includes a connected transmission part 221 and an acquisition part 222. The transmission part 221 is disposed in the receiving cavity 111 and connected to the adjusting member 21. At least a portion of the acquisition part 222 is disposed within the second opening 112. The acquisition part 222 has an acquisition end on the side opposite to the transmission part 221. The adjusting member 21 can drive the transmission part 221 to rotate around its own axis. In this embodiment, the transmission part 221 can rotate around its own axis with the adjusting member 21, thereby driving the acquisition part 222 to rotate. Since the acquisition end is located on the side of the acquisition part 222 opposite to the transmission part 221, the acquisition end can also rotate, thereby achieving adjustment of the pitch angle of the acquisition end.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the acquisition unit 222 can be located inside the receiving cavity 111, and the acquisition end is located inside the second opening 112. By rotating the transmission unit 221 through the adjusting member 21, the acquisition unit 222 also drives the acquisition end located in the second opening 112 to rotate, thereby realizing the adjustment of the pitch angle.

[0035] Specifically, in other embodiments of this utility model, the collecting part 222 may be partially located in the receiving cavity 111 and the other part may be located in the second opening 112. The collecting end may be located in the second opening 112 or protrude out of the housing 11. As the adjusting member 21 rotates the transmission part 221, the collecting part 222 will rotate with the collecting end and realize the adjustment of the pitch angle.

[0036] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and 2 As shown, at least a portion of the outer peripheral surface of the transmission part 221 is provided with a first tooth 2211, and the outer peripheral surface of the adjusting member 21 is provided with a second tooth 211. A portion of the second tooth 211 is exposed above the first opening. The first tooth 2211 and the second tooth 211 are meshed together, allowing the adjusting member 21 to rotate around its own axial direction and drive the transmission part 221 to rotate around its own axial direction. In this embodiment, the outer peripheral surface of a portion of the transmission part 221 is provided with a first tooth 2211, which can mesh with the second tooth 211 on the outer peripheral surface of the adjusting member 21. Furthermore, the second tooth 211 is exposed above the first opening, allowing the operator to roll the second tooth 211 of the adjusting member 21 to mesh with the first tooth 2211 of the transmission part 221, ultimately achieving rotation of the transmission part 221 around its own axial direction and pitch adjustment of the collecting end of the collecting part 222.

[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, the adjusting member 21 can be an integral gear structure, with a portion of the adjusting member 21 exposed above the first opening, allowing the image acquisition device to rotate via the operator's rolling motion. The adjusting member 21 can be a cylindrical gear structure.

[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, the earphone also includes a first support shaft and a first bearing. The first support shaft is connected to the inner wall of the housing 11, and the first bearing is sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the first support shaft. The adjusting member 21 has a first mating hole, which is interference-fitted with the first bearing shaft hole, so as to realize the rolling of the adjusting member 21 on the first bearing and to realize the support and fixation of the adjusting member 21 in the earphone.

[0039] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the transmission part 221 has a first plane on the side facing the acquisition part 222, and the acquisition part 222 has a second plane on the side facing the transmission part 221. The first plane and the second plane are connected. In this embodiment, the first plane and the second plane are fitted together, which facilitates the connection between the transmission part 221 and the acquisition part 222, achieving a surface-to-surface contact connection, increasing the contact area and connection area, and improving the connection strength and ease of connection between the transmission part 221 and the acquisition part 222.

[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, the transmission part 221 has a partially cylindrical structure, and the outer peripheral surface of the transmission part 221 includes a first tooth 2211 and a first plane. The two ends of the first tooth 2211 along the circumferential direction of the transmission part 221 are respectively connected to the two ends of the first plane along the circumferential direction of the first tooth 2211. This not only enables the first tooth 2211 to cooperate with the second tooth 211, but also enables the connection between the first plane and the second plane.

[0041] In some embodiments of this utility model, at least a portion of the outer peripheral surface of the transmission part 221 is provided with a third tooth, and a rack part is provided on one side of the adjusting member 21. A portion of the rack part exposes the first opening. The third tooth and the rack part are meshed together. The adjusting member 21 can move along a first direction, driving the transmission part 221 to rotate around its own axial direction. The first direction intersects with the axial direction of the transmission part 221. In this embodiment, the transmission part 221 has a rod-shaped structure, and a rack structure is provided on one side of the transmission part 221. As the transmission part 221 moves along the first direction, the rack part and the third tooth can be meshed and connected, thereby enabling the adjusting member 21 to move in the first direction and drive the transmission part 221 to rotate around its own axial direction. The first direction is the orientation of the first opening.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, a slide rail is provided on the inner wall of the housing 11, and a slide groove is provided on the other side of the adjusting member 21. The sliding cooperation between the slide rail and the slide groove can not only support the adjusting member 21, but also guide the adjusting member 21, thereby improving reliability and stability.

[0043] In some embodiments of this utility model, the acquisition unit 222 is a camera. In this embodiment, after the earphone is properly worn, such as... Figure 3 As shown in the diagram, the angle arrows indicate the adjustment range of the tilt angle. The camera typically faces directly towards the face through the second opening 112. However, due to differences in how each person wears the camera, the camera's orientation may deviate, affecting optical imaging and failing to meet design requirements. In this embodiment, the camera can be tilted by rotating the adjustment component 21 with a finger, thereby rotating the camera and achieving the desired tilt angle, thus meeting optical and normal shooting requirements.

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, the camera is a miniature camera, a product of modern high technology, also known as a miniature monitor, which is small in size, powerful in function, and has good concealment.

[0045] In some embodiments of this invention, the acquisition end and the inner wall surface of the second opening 112 are spaced apart. In this embodiment, the above arrangement ensures that the acquisition end will not collide with the second opening 112 during pitch adjustment rotation, thus preventing interference between the acquisition end and the second opening 112 and improving reliability.

[0046] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the hanging body 12 is curved and forms a hanging space 13 with the housing 11. The hanging space 13 is used to accommodate the ear. The first opening is located on the side of the housing 11 facing the hanging space 13, and the second opening 112 is located on the side of the housing 11 away from the hanging space 13. In this embodiment, since the acquisition end needs to face directly in front of the wearer, the second opening 112 is located on the side away from the hanging space 13, which facilitates better imaging of the wearer. The first opening is located on the side facing the hanging space 13, which makes it easier for the wearer to roll the adjustment piece 21, improving convenience.

[0047] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the housing 11 is provided with a sound outlet 113, which is connected to the receiving cavity 111. The orientation of the sound outlet 113 intersects with the orientation of the first opening. In this embodiment, the sound outlet 113 facilitates the transmission of sound from the earphone toward the human ear.

[0048] In some embodiments of this invention, the headphone body further includes a sound-generating component, which is disposed within the receiving cavity 111, and the position of the sound-generating component corresponds to that of the sound outlet 113. In this embodiment, the sound-generating component includes a loudspeaker (dynamic / balanced armature unit) that converts electrical signals into sound; the sound quality depends on the unit material and tuning.

[0049] Specifically, the earphones also include a main control chip, sensors and functional modules, and a power supply and circuitry. All three are located in the receiving cavity 111. The main control chip is responsible for Bluetooth connectivity, audio decoding, and noise reduction algorithms, directly affecting sound quality and functionality. The sensors and functional modules include a microphone and an in-ear detection sensor. The microphone is used for calls and noise reduction, while the in-ear detection sensor enables pause when removed and playback when worn. The power supply and circuitry includes a small lithium battery and an antenna module, providing battery life and featuring a lithium battery protection IC to prevent overcharging. The antenna module ensures stable Bluetooth signal transmission.

[0050] Furthermore, the earphone in this invention can adjust the pitch angle of the acquisition end by rolling or adjusting the adjustment component 21, thereby meeting the optical requirements and adapting to a wider range of users.

[0051] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
