[0002] Bluetooth headsets have matured significantly and have rapidly diversified into various market segments. Clip-on and over-ear headphones are among the most common types of Bluetooth headsets.

[0003] Most mainstream clip-on wireless earbuds consist of a speaker, a power supply, and a connector. The connector is made of a soft material and connects the speaker and the power supply. To facilitate charging when placed vertically downwards in the charging case, clip-on wireless earbuds typically have the charging terminal fixed at the bottom of the power supply. However, this design reveals significant drawbacks in actual wearing scenarios.

[0004] When users wear clip-on wireless earbuds, the power supply unit, as a key load-bearing component in contact with the ear, inevitably comes into direct or indirect contact with the user's skin, auricular cartilage, or surrounding hair. Especially during exercise, prolonged wear, or in high-temperature environments, sweat easily accumulates on the ears and head. The salt and oil in sweat adhere directly to the exposed charging terminal surface. Over time, the corrosive components in sweat gradually erode the metal contacts of the charging terminal, causing oxidation, rust, or poor contact. This directly affects the earbuds' charging efficiency and lifespan, and may even lead to safety hazards such as short circuits, causing numerous inconveniences for users and device maintenance.

[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 3This utility model provides an ear-clamping headphone assembly, including an earphone charging case 1, a left ear-clamping earphone 2, and a right ear-clamping earphone 3. The earphone charging case 1 includes a charging case body 11 and a charging case cover 12. The charging case body 11 has two symmetrically arranged receiving slots 111, which respectively mate with the outer contours of the left ear-clamping earphone 2 and the right ear-clamping earphone 3. Each of the two receiving slots 111 has a charging spring pin 112 at the bottom. The left ear-clamping earphone 2 is placed horizontally in the left receiving slot 111, and the right ear-clamping earphone 3 is placed horizontally in the right receiving slot 111. Both the left ear-clamping earphone 2 and the right ear-clamping earphone 3 include a speaker 21, a power supply 22, and a connecting part 23. The connecting part 23 connects the speaker 21 and the power supply 22. The side of the power supply 22 away from the speaker 21 has a charging terminal 221 that mates with the charging spring pin 112.

[0034] In this embodiment, by moving the charging terminal 221 from the bottom of the power supply unit 22 to the side of the power supply unit 22 away from the speaker unit 21, and in conjunction with the horizontal housing design of the earphone charging case 1, the direct or indirect contact between the charging terminal 221 and the user's skin is fundamentally avoided. This solves the problems of oxidation, rust, and poor contact caused by sweat corrosion of the charging terminal 221, significantly improves the charging stability and long-term reliability of the earphone, and reduces the probability of safety hazards such as short circuits.

[0035] Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment, the left-side receiving slot 111 is used to place one end of the connecting portion 23 of the left clip-on earphone 2 facing the left rear corner of the charging case body 11, and the right-side receiving slot 111 is used to place one end of the connecting portion 23 of the right clip-on earphone 3 facing the right rear corner of the charging case body 11. The two receiving slots 111 provided above can make full use of the space of the charging case body 11, making the layout of the left clip-on earphone 2 and the right clip-on earphone 3 in the earphone charging case 1 more reasonable, achieving stable placement of the earphones in a limited space and avoiding space waste.

[0036] For further details, please refer to Figure 4 The charging case battery 116 inside the charging case body 11 is vertically arranged at the rear end between the two receiving slots 111. By placing the charging case battery 116 at the rear end between the two receiving slots 111, it will not affect the placement and charging of the earphones in the receiving slots 111, and the position of each component inside the earphone charging case 1 can be reasonably planned, making the overall structure of the charging case more compact and reasonable.

[0037] Please see Figure 2In one embodiment, the top of the charging case body 11 is provided with a chamfer 113 so that the height of the charging case body 11 gradually increases from front to back. When the left clip-on earphone 2 is placed in the left receiving slot 111, one side of the connecting part 23 and the speaker part 21 of the left clip-on earphone 2 are located outside the left receiving slot 111; when the right clip-on earphone 3 is placed in the right receiving slot 111, one side of the connecting part 23 and the speaker part 21 of the right clip-on earphone 3 are located outside the right receiving slot 111. With the above arrangement, the user does not need to insert their fingers into the receiving slot 111 to search for the earphones, but can easily take out the earphones by grasping the connecting part 23 or the speaker part 21 from the outside, which greatly improves the convenience and efficiency of use and enhances the user experience.

[0038] In one embodiment, the top edge contour of the charging case body 11 mates with the bottom edge hub of the charging case lid 12. This contour-matching design of the charging case body 11 and the charging case lid 12 ensures a tighter connection between them. When the charging case lid 12 is closed, the precise fit of the edge contours effectively reduces the possibility of external impurities such as dust and moisture entering the earphone charging case 1, providing better protection for the left clip-on earphone 2 and right clip-on earphone 3 placed inside, reducing the risk of damage to the earphones due to contact with impurities, and extending the earphones' lifespan.

[0039] Please see Figure 4 In one embodiment, the charging case body 11 includes a bottom shell 114 and a top shell 115 disposed on top of the bottom shell 114. The top shell 115 has a receiving groove 111. A charging case battery 116 and a charging case circuit board 117 are disposed between the bottom shell 114 and the top shell 115. A charging interface 118 is provided on one side of the bottom shell 114. The charging case circuit board 117 is electrically connected to the charging case battery 116, the charging interface 118, and the charging pins 112, thus achieving an integrated design of the charging function. Users can charge the charging case battery 116 through the charging interface 118, and the charging case battery 116 can then charge the earphones placed in the receiving groove 111, forming a complete charging system.

The two ends of the metal coil spring move closer or further apart through deformation. The inner cavity of the metal coil spring serves as the wiring channel 231 for the clip-on earphone. The metal coil spring is preferably made of piano wire, which has high strength, high elastic limit, and good fatigue resistance. This ensures that the connecting part 23 maintains good elasticity and stability even after repeated deformation, effectively extending the service life of the connecting part 23. This, in turn, improves the reliability and durability of the entire clip-on earphone and reduces earphone malfunctions caused by spring damage. Furthermore, the metal coil spring does not require a soft rubber wrapping, which reduces potential problems such as aging and detachment caused by the soft rubber, and simplifies the manufacturing process and structure, thus reducing costs. By placing the wiring between the power supply section 22 and the speaker section 21 within the inner cavity of the metal coil spring, space is effectively utilized, making the internal layout of the headphones more reasonable. This facilitates miniaturization or the inclusion of more functional modules, while also showcasing a unique metallic technological feel, providing users with a novel visual experience, increasing the product's fun and appeal, and making the product more distinctive in both appearance and user experience.

[0041] Please see Figure 5 In one embodiment, the power supply unit 22 houses an earphone circuit board 222 and an earphone battery 223. A charging port 224 for the charging terminal 221 to pass through is located on the side of the power supply unit 22 away from the speaker unit 21. The earphone circuit board 222 is electrically connected to both the earphone battery 223 and the charging terminal 221, forming a charging circuit. When the charging terminal 221 contacts the charging pin 112 of the charging case body 11, current can be transmitted through the charging terminal 221 to the earphone circuit board 222. The earphone circuit board 222 then manages the charging of the earphone battery 223, such as controlling the charging current and voltage to prevent overcharging, thereby ensuring the safe charging and normal use of the earphone battery 223 and extending its lifespan. The speaker unit 21 houses a speaker 211, which is electrically connected to the circuit board via a flexible circuit.
