[0022] 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, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0024] This application discloses an ear-hook headphone with a folding and storage function. (See also...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 An ear-hook type earphone with folding and storage function includes an earphone body 1, a first ear hook 3 is provided on one side of the earphone body 1, a second ear hook 4 is provided on one side of the first ear hook 3, and a folding mechanism 2 is provided on one side of the earphone body 1.

[0025] The folding mechanism 2 includes a rotating rod 201, which is rotatably connected to one side of the earphone body 1. One end of the rotating rod 201 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first ear hook 3. A connecting rod 202 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod 201. Diamond-shaped blocks 203 are fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting rod 202. Two mounting blocks 204 are fixedly connected to the top of the earphone body 1. Each mounting block 204 has a slot 205 on its inner wall. Limiting grooves 206 are formed on both sides of the slot 205. A telescopic rod 207 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 206. The telescopic end is fixedly connected to the limiting ball 208. The rhomboid block 203 works in conjunction with the telescopic rod 207 and the limiting ball 208. By setting the folding mechanism 2, when the earphone body 1 is not in use, the user can rotate the rod 201 to bring the first ear hook 3 and the second ear hook 4 close to the earphone body 1, thereby folding the first ear hook 3 and the second ear hook 4 together. The telescopic rod 207 and the limiting ball 208 limit the rotation of the rotating rod 201 after rotation. When the first ear hook 3 and the second ear hook 4 are rotated close to the earphone body 1, the whole device becomes more compact, increasing the convenience of using the earphone body 1 and making it easy to carry.

[0026] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The headphone body 1 is fixedly connected to a damping bearing 6. The inner ring of the damping bearing 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating rod 201. By setting the damping bearing 6, the rotation resistance of the rotating rod 201 can be increased, preventing the rotating rod 201 from moving easily, and ensuring that the first ear hook 3 and the second ear hook 4 can be stably maintained in the adjusted position.

[0027] Reference Figure 4 The surface of the first ear hook 3 is provided with a groove 8, and a support rod 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the second ear hook 4. A connecting ball 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the support rod 12. By setting the groove 8, rotation space can be provided for the folded second ear hook 4. The first ear hook 3 and the second ear hook 4 can be connected by the support rod 12 and the connecting ball 5, ensuring the stability of the folding of the first ear hook 3 and the second ear hook 4.

[0028] Reference Figure 4 The inner wall of the connecting ball 5 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 7. Both ends of the rotating shaft 7 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 8. By setting the rotating shaft 7, the connecting ball 5 can be limited to avoid the connecting ball 5 from deviating when rotating.

[0029] Reference Figure 4 Two elastic blocks 9 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 8. By setting the elastic blocks 9, the elastic force of the elastic blocks 9 can limit the rotation of the connecting ball 5 and the support rod 12. At the same time, the elastic blocks 9 can reduce the wear when limiting the support rod 12, and ensure the stability of the rotation of the connecting ball 5 and the support rod 12.

[0030] Reference Figure 4 A protrusion 10 is fixedly connected between the two elastic blocks 9 on opposite sides. The elastic blocks 9 and the protrusion 10 are used in conjunction with the support rod 12. By setting the protrusion 10, the support rod 12 can be fixed to prevent the second ear hook 4 from shaking after unfolding, thus ensuring the safety of the unfolded second ear hook 4.

[0031] Reference Figure 4 A support block 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 8. The surface of the support rod 12 contacts the top of the support block 11. By setting the support block 11, the support rod 12 can be supported and fixed to prevent the support rod 12 from shifting and to ensure the stability of the support rod 12 when it is deployed.

[0032] Reference Figure 3A spring 13 is fitted on the surface of the telescopic rod 207. One end of the spring 13 is fixedly connected to the surface of the limiting ball 208, and the other end of the spring 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 206. By setting the spring 13, elastic potential energy can be provided to the telescopic rod 207 and the limiting ball 208, so that the telescopic rod 207 and the limiting ball 208 can return to their original position after being squeezed.

[0033] Working principle: When the user needs to store the earphone body 1, they manually rotate the first ear hook 3. The first ear hook 3 rotates around the rotating rod 201. The rotation of the rotating rod 201 will drive the connecting rod 202 and the rhombus block 203 to rotate. At this time, the rhombus block 203 on one side will disengage from the mounting block 204 on one side due to pressure. By rotating, the rhombus block 203 on the other side will be moved into the mounting block 204 on the other side. As the rhombus block 203 moves further, it will affect the limiting ball. Pressure is generated at 208, causing the limiting ball 208 to be pressed into the limiting groove 206. Due to the pressure on the limiting ball 208, the connected telescopic rod 207 and spring 13 begin to contract. During this process, spring 13 stores elastic potential energy due to deformation. Once the rhombus block 203 has completely passed through the slot 205 area, the external force applied to the limiting ball 208 disappears. At this time, the compressed spring 13 will use its stored elastic potential energy to rebound, causing the limiting ball 208 and telescopic rod 207 to return to their original positions. The position of the diamond block 203 is limited by the damping bearing 6, which prevents the rotating rod 201 from moving easily and avoids the first ear hook 3 from rotating due to external forces. When the first ear hook 3 and the second ear hook 4 are retracted and close to the headphone body 1, the user can manually rotate the second ear hook 4. When the second ear hook 4 rotates through the support rod 12 and the connecting ball 5, the rotating shaft 7 can limit the support rod 12 and the connecting ball 5 to ensure the stability of the rotation of the support rod 12 and the connecting ball 5. The elastic blocks 9 and the protrusions 10 on both sides can limit the support rod 12 when it is unfolded. The support block 11 can support the unfolded support rod 12. When the second ear hook 4 is in the folded state, the support rod 12 will disengage from the clamping of the two elastic blocks 9 and the protrusions 10 by rotation, thereby allowing the second ear hook 4 to rotate and making it easy to fold the second ear hook 4. By folding the first ear hook 3 and the second ear hook 4, the storage space of the headphone body 1 can be reduced, making it easier for the user to carry.

[0034] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
