[0030] With the increasing popularity of AIOWS (Artificial Intelligence Open Wearable Stereo) with cameras in daily life, different people often have slightly different postures when wearing headphones. The fixed camera on the headphones cannot achieve better imaging results due to its fixed angle, which reduces the versatility and adjustability of the headphones.

[0031] Figure 1 A schematic perspective view of the headphone 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 1 As shown, this utility model proposes an earphone 100. The earphone 100 of this utility model includes an earphone 100 body and an image acquisition component. The earphone 100 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 113. The shell 11 is provided with a first opening 114 and a second opening 111 at intervals. The first opening 114 and the second opening 111 are respectively connected to the receiving cavity 113. The image acquisition component includes a connected image acquisition element and an adjustment element. The adjustment element is located in the receiving cavity 113 and a portion of the adjustment element extends out of the shell 11 from the first opening 114. The image acquisition element has a acquisition end. The image acquisition element is located in the receiving cavity 113 and the acquisition end at least protrudes to the second opening 111. The adjustment element can move along a first direction and drive the image acquisition element to rotate to adjust the pitch angle of the acquisition end. The first direction is intersecting the orientation of the first opening 114.

[0032] By using the earphone 100 in this technical solution, the hanging body 12 can hang the shell 11 on the ear to achieve fixation. Some adjustment parts protrude from the first opening 114, which facilitates the user to move along the first direction. The moving adjustment parts can drive the image acquisition unit to rotate, thereby adjusting the pitch angle of the acquisition end, meeting the imaging needs of different users when using the earphone 100, thus adapting to more users.

[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, the acquisition end can be located inside the second opening 111 and rotate within the second opening 111 as the adjusting member moves, thereby adjusting the pitch angle. Alternatively, the acquisition end can be inserted through the second opening 111 and protrude outside the housing 11, and can also rotate as the adjusting member moves, thereby adjusting the pitch angle.

[0034] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1As shown, the adjusting member includes an operating part 221, a connecting part 222, and an abutting part 223. The operating part 221 and the abutting part 223 are connected to opposite sides of the connecting part 222, respectively. At least a portion of the operating part 221 protrudes from the first opening 114. The connecting part 222 is slidably connected to the housing 11 and can move along a first direction. The abutting part 223 abuts against the adjusting member and can drive the adjusting member to rotate. In this embodiment, a portion of the operating part 221 is located outside the housing 11, facilitating the user to push or pull the operating part 221 along the first direction. The connecting part 222 is connected to the housing 11 and can move along the first direction, ensuring the precision and accuracy of the overall adjusting member's movement. The abutting part 223 abuts against the image acquisition component. When the user moves the operating part 221 along the first direction, the abutting part 223 can squeeze or push the image acquisition component, thereby driving the image acquisition component to rotate and adjusting the pitch angle of the acquisition end of the image acquisition component.

[0035] Specifically, in this embodiment, the inner wall surface of the housing 11 is provided with a slide rail, which is slidably connected to the connecting part 222 and can support the connecting part 222 to move along the first direction.

[0036] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the adjusting member includes a collecting part 211 and a rotating part 212. At least a portion of the collecting part 211 is located in the second opening 111. The rotating part 212 is connected to the collecting part 211 and abuts against the abutting part 223. The collecting part 211 has a collecting end on the side opposite to the rotating part 212. When the abutting part 223 moves along the first direction, it can drive the rotating part 212 to rotate, thereby adjusting the pitch angle of the collecting end. In this embodiment, the outer peripheral surface of the rotating part 212 includes a first surface, a second surface, and a third surface connected in sequence. The first surface is connected to the collecting part 211, the second surface abuts against the abutting part 223, and the third surface abuts against the elastic member 30. When the adjusting member moves along the first direction, it can drive its own abutting part 223 to move along the first direction. Since the abutting part 223 and the rotating part 212 abut against each other, the rotating part 212 can be driven to rotate around the connection between the rotating part 212 and the collecting part 211 (i.e., the center direction of the rotating part 212, perpendicular to the axis of the collecting part 211), thereby causing the collecting part 211 to rotate, and finally realizing the adjustment of the pitch angle of the collecting end of the collecting part 211.

[0037] Specifically, in other embodiments of this utility model, the abutment part 223 can be a rack and pinion structure, and the rotating part 212 can be a gear structure. The meshing connection between the abutment part 223 and the rotating part 212 can realize the purpose of moving the adjusting member along the first direction to drive the image acquisition member to rotate, thereby realizing the adjustment of the pitch angle of the acquisition end of the acquisition part 211.

[0038] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the abutment portion 223 has a first inclined surface on the side facing the rotating portion 212, and the second surface of the rotating portion 212 abuts against the first inclined surface. The angle between the first inclined surface and the first direction is an acute angle. In this embodiment, because the abutment portion 223 has a first inclined surface on the side facing the rotating portion 212, the position where the abutment portion 223 abuts against the second surface of the rotating portion 212 changes constantly as the operating portion 221 moves along the first direction, thereby changing the position of the acquisition portion 211 and adjusting the pitch angle of the acquisition end of the acquisition portion 211.

[0039] In some embodiments of this utility model, the acquisition unit 211 is a camera. In this embodiment, after the earphone 100 is properly worn, the camera is generally angled towards the front of the face through the second opening 111. However, due to differences in individual wearing postures, the camera's orientation may deviate, affecting optical imaging and failing to meet design requirements. In this embodiment, the camera can be rotated by moving the adjustment component with a finger, ultimately achieving camera angle tilt, thus meeting optical and normal shooting requirements. Specifically, in this embodiment, the camera is...

[0040] Miniature cameras, also known as miniature surveillance cameras, are products of modern high technology. They are characterized by their small size, powerful functions, and good concealment.

[0041] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the image acquisition component also includes an elastic element 30, which is connected to the inner wall of the adjusting member and abuts against the third surface of the rotating part 212. In this embodiment, the elastic element 30 is disposed in the receiving cavity 113 and abuts against the third surface of the rotating part 212. When the abutting part 223, which abuts against the second surface of the rotating part 212, moves along the first direction and the squeezing force on the second surface of the rotating part 212 is released, the elastic element 30 helps to bounce the rotating part 212 toward the abutting part 223, always maintaining the abutment between the third surface of the rotating part 212 and the abutting part 223. This achieves a precise correspondence between the position of the operating part 221 of the adjusting member along the first direction and the rotational position of the rotating part 212 and the acquisition part 211, improving accuracy and reliability.

[0042] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and 3As shown, the elastic element 30 includes a first elastic portion 31 and a second elastic portion 32 connected together. The second elastic portion 32 is set at an acute angle to the first elastic portion 31. The first elastic portion 31 is located at the bottom end of the receiving cavity 113, and the second elastic portion 32 abuts against the third surface of the rotating portion 212. In this embodiment, the first elastic element 30 and the second elastic element 30 adopt a segmented structure, which can be a spring sheet structure. A spring sheet provides the same elastic function but occupies less space, which helps to achieve miniaturization and lightweight design of the device.

[0043] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the housing 11 is provided with a sound outlet 112, which is connected to the receiving cavity 113. The orientation of the sound outlet 112 intersects with the orientation of the first opening 114. In this embodiment, the sound outlet 112 facilitates the transmission of sound from the earphone 100 toward the human ear.

[0044] In some embodiments of this invention, the headphone 100 body further includes a sound-generating component disposed within the receiving cavity 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.

[0045] Specifically, the earphone 100 also includes a main control chip, sensors and functional modules, and a power supply and circuitry. All three are located in the receiving cavity 113. 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.

[0046] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the earphone 100 has a curved hanging body 12, which, together with the earphone 100 body, forms a hanging space 13. The hanging space 13 is used to accommodate the ear, and the second opening 111 faces 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 111 is located on the side away from the hanging space 13, which facilitates better imaging of the wearer.

[0047] Furthermore, in the prior art, after the earphone 100 is properly worn, the camera is generally angled towards the front of the face. However, due to differences in individual wearing postures, the camera's orientation may deviate when worn, affecting optical imaging and failing to meet design requirements. The earphone 100 in this embodiment effectively solves this problem, such as... Figure 3As shown, when the camera needs to be adjusted upwards, the operating part 221 of the adjustment piece at the top of the earphone 100 can be flicked backwards with a finger. The first inclined surface of the abutment part 223 below the operating part 221 gradually presses against the second surface of the rotating part 212, forcing the camera to rotate upwards. Figure 2 As shown, when the camera needs to be adjusted downwards, the operating part 221 of the adjustment component on the top of the earphone 100 can be pushed forward with a finger. The first inclined surface of the abutment part 223 below the operating part 221 gradually releases from the second surface of the rotating part 212. At this time, the elastic member 30 exerts an upward pushing force on the camera, forcing the camera to rotate downwards. By pushing and pulling the operating part 221, the camera angle can be adjusted in conjunction to meet optical requirements, thereby adapting to a wider range of users.

[0048] 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.
