[0032] This utility model discloses an earphone and a charging system. The Hall element sensing magnetic component has high detection accuracy and can accurately detect the wearing status of the earphone.
[0033] Example 1
[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an earphone 100 provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The earphone 100 includes a main unit 10, a wearing component 20, and a detection component. The main unit 10 includes a housing 11 and a sound-emitting component 12. The sound-emitting component 12 is disposed inside the housing 11 and is used to generate audio. The wearing component 20 includes a first clamping arm 21 and a second clamping arm 22. One end of the first clamping arm 21 is connected to the housing 11, and one end of the second clamping arm 22 is rotatably connected to the end of the first clamping arm 21 away from the housing 11. The second clamping arm 22 can adjust the angle between the second clamping arm 22 and the first clamping arm 21 relative to the first clamping arm 21 so that the wearing component 20 can switch to different postures. The detection component includes a Hall element 31 and a magnetic element 32. One of the Hall element 31 and the magnetic element 32 is disposed in the housing 11, and the other is disposed in the second clamping arm 22. The Hall element 31 is configured to sense the magnetic element 32 to identify different postures of the wearing component 20.
[0035] In this embodiment, a sound-generating component 12 is provided on the housing 11 of the host 10. The sound-generating component 12 generates audio and outputs sound information to the user. At the same time, the first clamping arm 21 of the wearing component 20 is connected to the housing 11, and one end of the second clamping arm 22 is rotatably connected to the end of the first clamping arm 21 away from the housing 11. In this way, the second clamping arm 22 can rotate relative to the first clamping arm 21 to adjust the angle between the second clamping arm 22 and the first clamping arm 21, so that the wearing component 20 can switch to different postures. By using the different sizes of the angle between the second clamping arm 22 and the first clamping arm 21, the earphone 100 can be worn on the user's ear.
[0036] Furthermore, by setting up a detection component, with one of the Hall element 31 and the magnetic element 32 located in the housing 11 and the other in the second clamping arm 22, when the second clamping arm 22 rotates relative to the first clamping arm 21 to switch the wearing component 20 to different positions, the Hall element 31 can sense the magnetic element 32, thereby identifying the different positions of the wearing component 20. Thus, when the earphone 100 is worn on the user's ear, the high detection accuracy of the Hall element 31 can accurately detect the wearing status of the earphone 100.
[0037] In some embodiments, the different postures include at least a first posture and a second posture. The first posture is when the extension direction of the second clamping arm 22 is the same as the orientation direction of the end of the first clamping arm 21 away from the housing 11. The second posture is when the second clamping arm 22 is tilted or perpendicular to the first clamping arm 21. The wearing component 20 is used to switch to the second posture so that the earphone 100 is worn on the user's ear. In this way, by rotating the second clamping arm 22 relative to the first clamping arm 21, the wearing component 20 can switch to the first posture (e.g., ...). Figure 1 As shown), at this time, the extension direction of the second clamping arm 22 is the same as the orientation direction of the end of the first clamping arm 21 away from the housing 11. The second clamping arm 22 and the first clamping arm 21 are arranged in a roughly straight line, which can reduce the space occupied by the wearing component 20 and facilitate the storage and carrying of the earphone 100. Furthermore, by rotating the second clamping arm 22 relative to the first clamping arm 21, the wearing component 20 can also be switched to a second posture (such as...). Figure 2 As shown in the figure, at this time, the second clamping arm 22 is inclined or perpendicular to the first clamping arm 21, and the second clamping arm 22 can clamp the user's ear together with the first clamping arm 21, so that the earphone 100 can be stably worn on the user's ear.
[0038] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the Hall element 31 is disposed on the housing 11, and the magnetic element 32 is disposed on the end of the second clamping arm 22 away from the first clamping arm 21. When the wearing assembly 20 switches to the second posture, the projection of the end of the second clamping arm 22 away from the first clamping arm 21 on the first plane α at least partially overlaps with the projection of the Hall element 31 on the first plane α. The first plane α is a plane perpendicular to the orientation direction of the end of the first clamping arm 21 away from the housing 11. In this way, by at least partially overlapping the projection of the end of the second clamping arm 22 away from the first clamping arm 21 on the first plane α with the projection of the Hall element 31 on the first plane α, the distance between the magnetic element 32 and the Hall element 31 can be minimized, improving the accuracy of the Hall element 31 in sensing the magnetic element 32. Therefore, the Hall element 31 has a higher accuracy in detecting that the wearing assembly 20 is in the second posture, which can improve the accuracy of the detection assembly in recognizing that the earphone 100 is worn on the user's ear.
[0039] In some embodiments, the earphone 100 further includes a circuit board (not shown) and a control module (not shown). The circuit board is disposed on the first clamping arm 21, and the Hall element 31 is electrically connected to the circuit board to send detection signals to the circuit board indicating that the wearing component 20 is in different postures. The control module is electrically connected to the circuit board and is used to control the earphone 100 according to the detection signals. In this way, through the electrical connection between the circuit board and the Hall element 31, the circuit board can receive the detection signals from the Hall element 31, and the control module, being electrically connected to the circuit board, can control the earphone 100 according to the detection signals received by the circuit board.
[0040] For example, the control module can start the earphone 100 when it is detected that the earphone 100 is worn in the user's ear, or turn it off when it is detected that the earphone 100 is not worn in the user's ear. This allows for automatic power on / off based on the wearing status of the earphone 100, avoiding unnecessary power waste, saving power, and increasing battery life.
[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the wearing component 20 also includes a rotating mechanism 23, one end of the second clamping arm 22 is rotatably connected to the end of the first clamping arm 21 away from the housing 11 via the rotating mechanism 23. In this way, by setting the rotating mechanism 23, the second clamping arm 22 can be rotatably connected to the end of the first clamping arm 21 away from the housing 11.
[0042] For example, the rotating mechanism 23 includes a first rotating connector 231 and a second rotating connector 232. The first rotating connector 231 is located at the end of the first clamping arm 21 away from the housing 11, and the second rotating connector 232 is rotatably connected to the first rotating connector 231. One end of the second clamping arm 22 is located at the second rotating connector 232. In this way, by having the first rotating connector 231 located at the end of the first clamping arm 21 away from the housing 11, and one end of the second clamping arm 22 located at the second rotating connector 232, and by making the second rotating connector 232 rotatably connected to the first rotating connector 231, a rotatable connection between the second clamping arm 22 and the first clamping arm 21 can be achieved, making the rotatable connection more stable and reliable.
[0043] Optionally, the rotating mechanism 23 further includes a rotating shaft 233 and a torsion spring 234. The rotating shaft 233 is disposed on the first rotating connector 231, and the second rotating connector 232 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 233. The torsion spring 234 includes a main body 234a and an abutting part 234b. The main body 234a is sleeved on the rotating shaft 233, and the abutting part 234b abuts against the first rotating connector 231 or the second rotating connector 232. In this way, by rotating the first rotating connector 231 and connecting the second rotating connector 232 to the rotating shaft 233, the second rotating connector 232 can be rotated to connect with the first rotating connector 231. Furthermore, by sleeved on the rotating shaft 233 with the main body 234a of the torsion spring 234 and abutting part 234b abutting against the first rotating connector 231 or the second rotating connector 232, when the second rotating connector 232 rotates relative to the first rotating connector 231, the abutting part 234b of the torsion spring 234 is subjected to force, giving the torsion spring 234 an elastic force. The elastic force is used to maintain the relative position of the second rotating connector 232 and the first rotating connector 231, thereby allowing the wearing component 20 to switch to different postures for positioning. The stability of the user when wearing the earphone 100 is high, preventing the earphone 100 from falling off, and providing a better user experience.
[0044] In some embodiments, a clearance groove 22a is provided at one end of the second clamping arm 22. The clearance groove 22a is used to avoid the end of the first clamping arm 21 that is away from the housing 11 when the second clamping arm 22 rotates relative to the first clamping arm 21. In this way, by providing a clearance groove 22a at one end of the second clamping arm 22, and using the clearance groove 22a to avoid the end of the second clamping arm 22 that is away from the housing 11, interference can be avoided when the second clamping arm 22 rotates relative to the first clamping arm 21. This increases the rotation range of the second clamping arm 22, and the wearing component 20 has a high degree of flexibility in switching between different postures, which can meet the different usage needs of users.
[0045] Optionally, the sound-generating component 12 includes a horn or a vibrator. Thus, by using a horn as the sound-generating component, audio can be generated using the horn, thereby outputting sound information to the user. When a vibrator is used, vibrations can be generated by the vibrator, thereby outputting sound information to the user via bone conduction.
[0046] This utility model provides an earphone 100. A sound-generating component 12 is set in the housing 11 of the main unit 10 to generate audio and output sound information to the user. At the same time, the first clamping arm 21 of the wearing component 20 is connected to the housing 11, and one end of the second clamping arm 22 is rotatably connected to the end of the first clamping arm 21 away from the housing 11. In this way, the second clamping arm 22 can rotate relative to the first clamping arm 21 to adjust the angle between the second clamping arm 22 and the first clamping arm 21, so that the wearing component 20 can switch to different postures. By using the different sizes of the angle between the second clamping arm 22 and the first clamping arm 21, the earphone 100 can be worn on the user's ear.
[0047] Furthermore, by setting up a detection component, with one of the Hall element 31 and the magnetic element 32 located in the housing 11 and the other in the second clamping arm 22, when the second clamping arm 22 rotates relative to the first clamping arm 21 to switch the wearing component 20 to different positions, the Hall element 31 can sense the magnetic element 32, thereby identifying the different positions of the wearing component 20. Thus, when the earphone 100 is worn on the user's ear, the high detection accuracy of the Hall element 31 can accurately detect the wearing status of the earphone 100.

[0050] This utility model embodiment 2 provides a charging system 200, in which the Hall element sensing magnetic component of the earphone 100 has high detection accuracy and can accurately detect the wearing status of the earphone 100.

This article uses specific examples to illustrate the principle and implementation of this utility model. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the earphone and charging system of this utility model and its core idea.
