Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of acoustic technology, and more particularly to a wearing structure and headphones. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of electronic terminal technology and products, headphones have become a standard product in people's daily lives. They can be used with electronic devices such as mobile phones and computers. The use of headphones is gradually entering more and more daily life and work scenarios, providing users with convenient listening while also bringing various auditory enjoyment.

[0003] In-ear headphones are a common type of headphone. However, this type of headphone is supported by inserting ear tips into the ear canal. The disadvantages of this are that wearing them for a long time may cause ear fatigue or discomfort, which may be uncomfortable for some users. Moreover, the sound production principle of this type of headphone directly enters the ear canal, which may pose a potential risk of hearing damage if worn for a long time. In addition, it may isolate external sounds, which may not be suitable for scenarios where you need to pay attention to your surroundings, and there may be certain safety hazards outdoors. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application discloses a wearing structure and headphones. The wearing structure is attached to the concha cavity to achieve wearing. The wearing structure and the sound transmission hole are located outside the ear canal opening, which can effectively protect the user's hearing from damage and is not easy to cause discomfort even after wearing for a long time. By providing a clearance part on the first side of the wearing structure, the wearing structure will not completely cover the ear canal opening, allowing the user to hear the external sound environment and effectively eliminating safety hazards.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, in a first aspect, this application provides a wearing structure applied to headphones;

[0006] The wearing structure is provided with a sound transmission hole, and a clearance portion is also provided on the first side of the wearing structure, the clearance portion being connected to the sound transmission hole;

[0007] When the wearing structure is in the wearing state, the wearing structure is located outside the ear canal opening of the auricle, and at least a portion of the wearing structure is abutted against the concha cavity of the auricle. The first side is the side of the wearing structure facing the ear canal opening, and the clearance portion is used to create a gap between at least a portion of the first side of the wearing structure and the ear canal opening.

[0008] As an optional implementation, the wearing structure is provided with a clearance portion for having a gap between at least a portion of the first support portion facing the ear canal opening and the ear canal opening, and the sound transmission hole is located in the clearance portion and communicates with the clearance portion.

[0009] As an optional implementation, the clearance portion is recessed from the first side in the thickness direction of the wearing structure to the other side.

[0010] As an optional implementation, when the wearing structure is in the wearing state, the projection of the ear canal opening on the first side in the thickness direction of the wearing structure is located within the clearance portion.

[0011] As an optional implementation, both the sound transmission hole and the clearance portion are arranged along the thickness direction of the wearing structure, and the projection of the sound transmission hole on the first side is located within the clearance portion in the thickness direction of the wearing structure.

[0012] As an optional implementation, the wearing structure includes a first support portion and a second support portion, the sound transmission hole is disposed in the first support portion and / or the second support portion, the first support portion has a first side, and the second support portion is connected to the first support portion;

[0013] When the earphone is in the wearing state, the first support part is engaged with the concha cavity of the auricle, and the second support part is engaged with the cymba conchae of the auricle.

[0014] As an optional implementation, the sound transmission hole and the clearance portion are disposed near the connection between the first support portion and the second support portion.

[0015] As an optional implementation, the shape of the clearance portion in cross-section is at least partially the same as the shape of the first support portion in cross-section;

[0016] The cross-section is the intersection of the length and width directions of the first support portion.

[0017] As an optional implementation, the end of the first support portion away from the second support portion is arc-shaped, and the clearance portion is correspondingly arranged in an arc shape with a size proportionally smaller than the former; the second support portion extends in a hook shape in the direction away from the first support portion.

[0018] As an optional implementation, the end of the first support portion away from the second support portion is in the shape of a hook or a plate, and the clearance portion is correspondingly provided in a shape that is proportionally smaller than the former; the second support portion extends in a hook shape in the direction away from the first support portion.

[0019] As an optional implementation, the first support portion and the second support portion are connected end to end to form a ring structure, and the clearance portion is correspondingly arranged in a shape that is proportionally smaller than the former.

[0020] Secondly, this application also provides an earphone, including an earphone body with a built-in transducer, a sound transmission channel, and a wearing structure according to the first aspect above. The wearing structure is connected to the earphone body through the sound transmission channel, and the sound transmission hole is connected to the earphone body through the sound transmission channel, so that the sound emitted by the transducer can be transmitted to the vicinity of the ear canal opening.

[0021] As an optional implementation, the sound transmission channel extends from the earphone body or the wearing structure along the thickness direction of the earphone body and protrudes to form a channel.

[0022] As an optional implementation, the two ends of the sound transmission duct have a first connecting surface that connects to the headphone body and a second connecting surface that connects to the wearing structure, with the first connecting surface being inclined relative to the second connecting surface.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the wearing structure and headphones provided in this application have the following advantages:

[0024] When the wearing structure is in the wearing state (i.e., the user is wearing the headphones), at least part of the wearing structure can be locked into the concha cavity of the auricle, so that the headphones can be fixed on the auricle by the wearing structure, effectively improving the stability of the headphones and making them less likely to loosen or fall off during exercise or activities.

[0025] The wearing structure is provided with a sound transmission hole. When the wearing structure is in the aforementioned state, the wearing structure and the sound transmission hole are located outside the ear canal opening. Compared with in-ear headphones in related technologies, the wearing structure of this application will not be directly inserted into the user's external ear canal from the ear canal opening, which can effectively protect the user's hearing from damage, and is not easy to cause discomfort when worn for a long time.

[0026] Furthermore, the first side of the wearing structure (the side facing the ear canal opening when the wearing structure is in the wearing state) is provided with a clearance portion. This clearance portion creates a gap between at least a portion of the first side of the wearing structure and the ear canal opening, ensuring that the wearing structure does not completely cover the ear canal opening. Based on this, users can be in a relatively open sound environment when using headphones with this wearing structure. In other words, users can hear the external sound environment while listening to the sound emitted by the headphones, effectively eliminating safety hazards. At the same time, it also reduces pressure on the skin near the ear canal opening from the first side of the wearing structure, improving user comfort when wearing the headphones.

[0027] In summary, this wearing structure helps users achieve a balance of safety, comfort, and stability when wearing headphones that utilize this structure. Attached Figure Description

[0039] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. The terms used in this specification are for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and are not intended to limit the present application. For example, terms such as “length,” “width,” “upper,” “lower,” “left,” “right,” “front,” “rear,” “vertical,” “horizontal,” “top,” “bottom,” “inner,” and “outer” indicate orientations or positions based on the orientations or positions shown in the accompanying drawings and are for ease of description only, and should not be construed as limiting the present technical solution.

[0040] The terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order. "A plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0041] In the description and claims of this application and the foregoing drawings, when an element is referred to as "fixed to," "mounted to," "set on," or "connected to" another element, it may be directly or indirectly located on that other element. For example, when an element is referred to as "connected to" another element, it may be directly or indirectly connected to that other element.

[0042] Furthermore, the reference to "embodiment" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0043] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an exemplary auricle according to some embodiments of this specification. Figure 1As shown, the auricle 100 may include an ear canal opening 101, a concha cavity 102, a cymba conchae 103, a triangular fossa 104, an antihelix 105, a scaphoid fossa 106, an helix 107, an earlobe 108, and a crus of the helix 109. It should be noted that, for ease of description, in this embodiment, the upper crus 1011 and lower crus 1012 of the antihelix, as well as the antihelix 105, are collectively referred to as the antihelix region. In some embodiments, the stability of headphone wearing can be achieved by using one or more parts of the auricle 100 to support the headphones. In some embodiments, the ear canal opening 101, the concha cavity 102, the cymba conchae 103, the triangular fossa 104, etc., have a certain depth and volume in three-dimensional space, which can be used to meet the wearing requirements of headphones. For example, headphones (e.g., in-ear headphones) can be worn in the ear canal opening 101. In some embodiments, headphones can be worn using other parts of the auricle 100 besides the ear canal opening 101. For example, the headphones can be worn using the cymba conchae 103, triangular fossa 104, antihelix 105, scaphoid 106, or helix 107, or combinations thereof. In some embodiments, to improve the comfort and reliability of the headphones, the user's earlobe 108 can also be used. By using parts of the auricle 100 other than the ear canal opening 101 to achieve headphone wearing and sound propagation, the user's ear canal opening 101 can be "liberated". When the user wears the headphones (open-back headphones), the headphones do not block the user's ear canal opening 101, and the user can receive both sound from the headphones and sound from the environment (e.g., horns, car bells, surrounding voices, traffic signals, etc.), thereby reducing the probability of traffic accidents. In some embodiments, the headphones can be designed to fit the auricle 100 according to its structure, so that the headphone's sound-producing part can be worn at different positions on the auricle. For example, when the headphones are open-back headphones, they may include a suspension structure (e.g., a wearing structure) and a sound-producing part, which is physically connected to the suspension structure. The suspension structure may be adapted to the shape of the auricle to place the entire or part of the auricle's sound-producing part on the front side of the helix 109 (e.g., Figure 1 The area J enclosed by the dotted line. For example, when a user wears open-back headphones, the entire or partial structure of the sound-producing part can contact the upper part of the ear canal opening 101 (e.g., the location of one or more parts such as the helix crus 109, cymba conchae 103, triangular fossa 104, antihelix 105, scaphoid 106, and helix 107). For yet another example, when a user wears open-back headphones, the entire or partial structure of the sound-producing part can be located within the cavity formed by one or more parts of the auricle (e.g., the conchae cavity 102, cymba conchae 103, triangular fossa 104, etc.). Figure 1The region M1, enclosed by the dotted line, includes at least the cymba conchae 103 and the triangular fossa 104, and the region M2, which includes at least the cavum conchae 102. Individual differences may exist among users, resulting in variations in the shape, size, and other dimensions of the auricle. For ease of description and understanding, unless otherwise specified, this specification will primarily use an auricle model with a "standard" shape and size as a reference to further describe how the headphones in different embodiments are worn on this auricle model.

[0044] The description of the auricle 100 above is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to limit the scope of this application. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications based on the description in this application. For example, a portion of the headphone structure may cover part or all of the ear canal opening 101. These changes and modifications are still within the protection scope of this application.

[0045] It should also be noted that the headphones may include, but are not limited to, air conduction headphones and bone conduction headphones. Specifically, in some embodiments, the headphones may be combined with products such as glasses, headphones, head-mounted displays, and AR / VR headsets.

[0046] Figure 4 This is a perspective view of a wearing structure 210 provided in one embodiment of this application. Based on this, for the convenience of the description of the embodiments below, an XYZ coordinate system is established, defining the width direction of at least a portion of the wearing structure 210 as the X-axis direction, the length direction of the aforementioned portion of the wearing structure 210 as the Y-axis direction, and the thickness direction of the aforementioned portion of the wearing structure 210 as the Z-axis direction. It is understood that the aforementioned coordinate system settings can be flexibly set according to actual needs, and are not specifically limited here.

[0047] This application provides a wearing structure 210, such as Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the wearing structure 210 can be applied to the earphone 200 so that the earphone 200 can be fixed to the auricle 100 through the wearing structure 210. The wearing structure 210 may be provided with a sound transmission hole 11, and a clearance portion 12 is also provided on the first side 15 of the wearing structure 210, which is connected to the sound transmission hole 11; so that the sound emitted by the transducer inside the earphone 200 can be conducted to the outside of the earphone 200 through the sound transmission hole 11.

[0048] When the wearing structure 210 is in the wearing state, the wearing structure 210 can be located outside the ear canal opening 101 of the auricle, and at least part of the wearing structure 210 can be locked inside the concha cavity 102 of the auricle 100. The wearing structure 210 itself can have deformation characteristics, and when it is locked inside the concha cavity 102, it can adaptively deform according to the different contour shapes of the user's concha cavity 102 to fit, so as to ensure that at least part of the wearing structure 210 can be stably locked inside the concha cavity 102.

[0049] The first side 15 can be the side of the wearing structure 210 facing the ear canal opening 101. The clearance portion 12 can be used to allow at least a portion of the first side 15 of the wearing structure 210 to have a gap with the ear canal opening 101. When the wearing structure 210 is in the wearing state, the clearance portion 12 allows the sound emitted by the transducer of the earphone 200 and the external ambient sound to pass through the clearance portion 12 before entering the ear canal through the ear canal opening 101. That is, the user can hear the sound of the earphone 200 clearly while also hearing the surrounding ambient sound, ensuring that the user is in a relatively open sound environment when wearing the earphone 200 with the wearing structure 210, effectively eliminating safety hazards. At the same time, it can also reduce the pressure of the first side 15 of the wearing structure 210 on the skin near the user's ear canal opening 101, which helps to improve the user's comfort when wearing the wearing structure 210.

[0050] In summary, compared with existing technologies, the wearing structure 210 has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0051] When the wearing structure 210 is in the wearing state (i.e., the user is wearing the earphone 200), at least part of the wearing structure 210 can be locked into the concha cavity 102 of the auricle 100, so that the earphone 200 can be fixed on the auricle 100 through the wearing structure 210, effectively improving the stability of the earphone 200, and it is not easy to loosen or fall off during sports or activities.

[0052] The wearing structure 210 is provided with a sound transmission hole 11. When the wearing structure 210 is in the aforementioned state, the wearing structure 210 and the sound transmission hole 11 are located outside the ear canal opening 101, which can effectively protect the user's hearing from damage, and it is not easy to cause discomfort even after wearing it for a long time.

[0053] Furthermore, a clearance portion 12 is provided on the first side 15 of the wearing structure 210 (the side of the wearing structure 210 facing the ear canal opening 101). The clearance portion 12 creates a gap between at least a portion of the first side 15 of the wearing structure 210 and the ear canal opening 101, ensuring that the wearing structure 210 does not completely cover the ear canal opening 101. Based on this, when using the headphones 200 with this wearing structure 210, the user can be in a relatively open sound environment. In other words, the user can hear the external sound environment while listening to the sound emitted by the headphones 200, effectively eliminating safety hazards. At the same time, it also reduces the pressure of the first side 15 of the wearing structure 210 on the skin near the user's ear canal opening 101, thus improving the user's comfort when wearing the wearing structure 210.

[0054] In summary, the wearing structure 210 can help users ensure safety, comfort, and stability when wearing and using the relevant headphones 200.

[0055] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the following will be discussed in conjunction with the appendix. Figures 1 to 8 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, when the wearing structure 210 is in the wearing state, the clearance portion 12 can be recessed from the first side 15 of the wearing structure 210 to the other side in the thickness direction (Z-axis direction) of the wearing structure 210. Specifically, a groove structure is formed on the first side 15 of the wearing structure 210 in the aforementioned manner. This groove structure makes it possible for at least a portion of the wearing structure 210 to form a clearance space with the vicinity of the ear canal opening 101.

[0057] Optionally, the shape of the clearance portion 12 can be circular, elliptical, square, or other irregular shapes, and can be selected according to the actual situation. In this embodiment, no specific limitation is made.

[0058] Optionally, the clearance portion 12 can be a complete groove structure or an incomplete groove structure. For example, it can be a groove structure with notches on the side wall or bottom surface, or it can be a groove structure connected with other holes or grooves. The specific choice can be made according to the actual situation, and no specific limitation is made in this embodiment.

[0059] In other embodiments, the clearance portion 12 may also be a through hole, which is at least partially corresponding to the ear canal opening 101 at one end of the first side 15, and the other end of the through hole is connected to the external environment.

[0060] In some embodiments, when the wearing structure 210 is in the wearing state, the projection of the ear canal opening 101 on the first side 15 in the thickness direction (Z-axis direction) of the wearing structure 210 may be located within the clearance portion 12.

[0061] This also avoids the first side 15 of the wearing structure 210 from squeezing the skin around the user's ear canal opening 101, which helps to further improve the user's comfort when wearing the wearing structure 210. In addition, the air-proof part 12 will form a sound cavity covering the ear canal opening 101, which can better transmit the sound transmitted by the sound transmission hole 11 to the user's ear canal opening 101, reduce the energy loss of sound, and reduce the risk of sound leakage.

[0062] In some embodiments, both the sound transmission hole 11 and the clearance portion 12 can be arranged along the thickness direction (Z-axis direction) of the wearing structure 210. In the thickness direction of the wearing structure 210, the projection of the sound transmission hole 11 on the first side 15 is located within the clearance portion 12.

[0063] Understandably, the projection of the ear canal opening 101 on the first side 15 is located within the clearance portion 12, and the projection of the sound transmission hole 11 on the first side 15 is located within the clearance portion 12, so that the clearance portion 12 can communicate with the ear canal opening 101.

[0064] This design shortens the propagation path of the sound emitted by the earphone 200 through the sound transmission hole 11 and the recess 12 to the ear canal opening 101, thus improving sound propagation efficiency and reducing sound energy loss. Furthermore, the cross-sectional area of ​​the sound transmission hole 11 perpendicular to its thickness is smaller than that of the recess 12, which helps to concentrate the sound transmitted through the sound transmission hole 11, improving the user's sound reception.

[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the wearing structure 210 may include a first support portion 10 and a second support portion 20 that can be connected to the first support portion 10. Both can be horizontally arranged or inclined at an angle to each other. The first side 15 of the wearing structure 210 is located on the first support portion 10. When the wearing structure 210 is in the wearing state, the first support portion 10 can be engaged within the concha cavity 102 of the auricle 100, and the second support portion 20 can be engaged within the cymba conchae 103 of the auricle 100. The sound transmission hole 11 can be located on the first support portion 10, or on the second support portion 20, or at the connection between the first support portion 10 and the second support portion 20.

[0066] Understandably, when the wearing structure 210 is in the wearing state (mainly when the wearing structure 210 performs the wearing action), the first support part 10 can be locked into the concha 102 of the auricle 100. The first support part 10 itself can have deformation characteristics, and when it is locked into the concha 102, it can adaptively deform according to the different contour shapes of the user's concha 102 to fit, so as to ensure that the first support part 10 can be stably locked into the concha 102. Specifically, combined with Figure 3 As shown, when the first support portion 10 is in a free state (i.e., not compressed), point a is the first support portion 10 without its initial shape, and no deformation occurs at this time; while when it is in the wearing state (i.e., compressed), the part of the first support portion 10 compressed by the concha 102 will deform according to the shape of the concha 102 at that point, see point a', and generate a force opposite to the direction of the force and able to abut against the concha 102.

[0067] The second support portion 20 can be locked into the concha 103 of the auricle 100. The second support portion 20 itself can have deformable characteristics. When it is locked into the concha 103, it can adaptively deform according to the different contour curvatures of the user's concha 102 to ensure the stability of the second support portion 20 in the concha 103. That is, the first support portion 10 and the second support portion 20 cooperate to fix the wearing structure 210 on the auricle 100, so that the earphone 200 using the wearing structure 210 is worn on the auricle 100, effectively improving the stability of the earphone 200, and it is not easy to loosen or fall off during sports or activities. Specifically, combined with Figure 3 As shown, when the second support 20 is in a free state (i.e., not compressed), point b is the unformed state of the second support 20, and no deformation occurs at this time; while when it is in the wearing state (i.e. compressed), the part of the second support 20 compressed by the concha 103 will deform according to the shape of the concha 103 at that point, see point b', and generate a force opposite to the direction of the force and able to abut against the concha 103.

[0068] Furthermore, the sound transmission hole 11 on the wearing structure 210 allows the sound emitted by the transducer inside the earphone 200 to be conducted to the outside of the earphone 200 through the sound transmission hole 11. When the wearing structure 210 is in the wearing state, the first support part 10 can be located outside the ear canal opening 101 of the auricle 100. It can be understood that since the first support part of the wearing structure 210 is located outside the ear canal opening 101 when the wearing structure 210 is in the wearing state, when the sound emitted by the transducer is conducted to the outside of the earphone 200 through the sound transmission hole 11 on the first support part 10, it first reaches the vicinity of the ear canal opening 101 and enters the ear canal opening 101. That is, the wearing structure 210 avoids direct insertion into the ear canal, and thus also avoids the sound emitted by the earphone 200 from directly reaching the ear canal. It can effectively protect the user's hearing from damage, and is not easy to cause discomfort even after wearing for a long time. Based on this, when the wearing structure 210 and the earphone 200 using the wearing structure 210 are in the wearing state, there will be a certain gap between the wearing structure 210 and the ear canal opening 101, so that when the user wears the earphone 200 using the wearing structure 210, they can be in a relatively open sound environment, so that they can hear the sound emitted by the earphone 200 while also hearing the external sound environment, effectively eliminating safety hazards.

[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the sound transmission hole 11 and the clearance portion 12 can be positioned close to the connection between the first support portion 10 and the second support portion 20. Since the deformation of the first support portion 10 and the second support portion 20 does not affect each other, the deformation capacity of the first support portion 10 and the second support portion 20 is lower the closer they are to the connection. By positioning the sound transmission hole 11 and the clearance portion 12 close to this location, it can be ensured that the sound transmission hole 11 and the clearance portion 12 will not deform or shift due to the partial deformation of the first support portion 10 caused by the compression of the concha cavity 102.

[0070] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the cross-section is defined as the intersection of the length direction (Y-axis direction) and the width direction (X-axis direction) of the first support portion 10. Based on this, the shape of the clearance portion 12 in the cross-section can be at least partially the same as the shape of the first support portion 10 in the cross-section, and the former's size can be proportionally slightly smaller than the latter's size, to ensure that there is a sufficiently large clearance space, so as to improve the effect that the user can hear the sound of the headphones 200 clearly while also hearing the surrounding ambient sound.

[0071] Optionally, the shape of the clearance portion 12 in cross-section being at least partially the same as the shape of the first support portion 10 in cross-section means that the shape of the clearance portion 12 in cross-section is partially the same as the shape of the first support portion 10 in cross-section, or the shape of the clearance portion 12 in cross-section is completely the same as the shape of the first support portion 10 in cross-section. The specific choice can be made according to the actual situation, and no specific limitation is made in this embodiment.

[0072] In some embodiments, as a first specific arrangement of the wearing structure 210, such as Figure 4As shown, the end of the first support portion 10 away from the second support portion 20 can be arc-shaped, and the clearance portion 12 can be correspondingly arranged in an arc shape with a size proportionally smaller than the former; the second support portion 20 can extend in a hook shape in the direction away from the first support portion 10. Specifically, the first support portion 10 may include a first arc-shaped portion 14 and a first arc-shaped portion 15, the opening ends of which can be arranged facing each other and connected end to end. The arc of the first arc-shaped portion 14 and the first arc-shaped portion 15 is different, so that the first support portion 10 can form an irregular ring structure and form a hollow structure. The first support portion 10 is mainly abutted against the concha cavity 102 by the first arc-shaped portion 14, and the side of the first arc-shaped portion 15 facing away from the first arc-shaped portion 14 can be connected to the second support portion 20. The first arcuate portion 15 can extend towards the first arcuate portion 14 from the side facing the opening end to form a connecting portion 14. A sound transmission hole 11 can be provided in the connecting portion 14 so that the sound transmission hole 11 can be positioned close to the space between the first support portion 10 and the second support portion 20. The distance between the side of the connecting portion 13 facing the ear canal opening 101 and the ear canal opening 101 can be greater than the distance between the first side 15 of the first support portion 10 and the ear canal opening 101. When the wearing structure 210 is applied to the earphone 200, the connecting portion 14 can also enhance rigidity and strength. Understandably, the hollow portion formed by the first arcuate portion 14 and the second arcuate portion 15 communicates with the distance between the connecting portion 13 and the first side 15 of the first support portion 10; this space is the clearance portion 13. Optionally, as... Figure 5 As shown, the first arc-shaped portion 14 may be provided with a notch 141 to increase the degree of deformation of the first support portion 10.

[0073] In some embodiments, based on the first setting method of the wearing structure 210, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first support part 10 and / or the second support part 20 may be provided with weight reduction holes 21, which can not only realize the miniaturization and weight reduction of the overall structure, but also increase the deformation capacity of the first support part 10 and the second support part 20, and further optimize the comfort of the first support part 10 and the second support part 20 when they are locked in the ear armor boat 103.

[0074] Optionally, the weight-reducing hole 21 may be provided only on the first support portion 10, or the weight-reducing hole 21 may be provided only on the second support portion 20; of course, the weight-reducing hole 21 may be provided on both the first support portion and the second support portion 20 at the same time.

[0075] In some embodiments, when the first support portion 10 is provided with a weight reduction hole 21, the weight reduction hole 21 is connected to the clearance portion 12, so that the clearance portion 12 is an incomplete groove structure. External ambient sound can be transmitted to the clearance portion 12 through the weight reduction hole 21, which further helps the user to hear the ambient sound while listening to the sound emitted by the headphones 200.

[0076] In some embodiments, as a second specific arrangement of the wearing structure 210, such as Figure 6 As shown, the end of the first support portion 10 away from the second support portion 20 can be hook-shaped or sheet-shaped, and the clearance portion 12 can be correspondingly provided with a groove of a shape smaller than the former in proportion to its size; the second support portion 20 can extend in a hook-shaped manner away from the first support portion 10, and the sound transmission hole 11 can be provided on the first support portion 10, close to the connection between the first support portion 10 and the second support portion 20. It can be understood that, based on the side of the first support portion 10 facing the ear canal opening 101, the sheet-shaped part has a larger area than the hook-shaped part.

[0077] In some embodiments, as a third specific arrangement of the wearing structure 210, such as Figure 7 As shown, the first support portion 10 and the second support portion 20 can be connected end to end to form a ring structure. The sound transmission hole 11 can be provided at the connection between the first support portion 10 and the second support portion. Specifically, the ring structure can be an oval ring; of course, it can also be a ring structure with equal curvature at both ends.

[0078] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and 6 As shown, the first support portion 10 and the second support portion 20 are independent of each other. When the first support portion 10 is squeezed by the concha cavity 102, it will not affect the second support portion 20. Similarly, when the second support portion 20 is squeezed by the cymba conchae 103, it will not affect the first support portion 10. Therefore, the two will not be displaced or even pop out of the auricle 100 due to being squeezed separately, so as to ensure the stability of the wearing structure 210 in the concha cavity 102 and the cymba conchae 103.

[0079] Based on the aforementioned wearing structure 210, this application embodiment also provides an earphone 200, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the earphone 200 includes an earphone body 220 with a built-in transducer (not shown), a sound transmission channel 230, and the aforementioned wearing structure 210. The transducer converts electrical signals into sound waves, enabling the user to hear sound.

[0080] Specifically, a transducer can convert electrical energy into mechanical energy through different physical principles, thereby driving the diaphragm to vibrate and produce sound. Optionally, the transducer can be a moving-coil transducer, a capacitive transducer, or a piezoelectric transducer, etc.

[0081] In addition, the headset body 220 also includes, but is not limited to: a Bluetooth chip, responsible for wireless connection and signal transmission; an energy storage device, such as a battery or battery pack, to provide power for the headset 200; a microphone for calls and voice input; an indicator light to provide feedback on the status of the headset 200, such as charging status and pairing status; and a charging interface, usually a Type-C interface or a Lightning Dock interface, for charging and data transfer.

[0082] The wearing structure 210 may include a first support portion 10 and a second support portion 20 connected to each other. When the wearing structure 210 is in the wearing state, the first support portion 10 can be locked into the concha cavity 102 of the auricle 100, and the second support portion 20 can be locked into the cymba conchae 103 of the auricle 100. Both the first support portion 10 and the second support portion 20 have deformation characteristics. The two cooperate to adaptively deform according to the corresponding contour shape of the auricle 100 of different users so as to fit, so that the earphone 200 using the wearing structure 210 can be worn on the auricle 100.

[0083] The wearing structure 210 may have a sound transmission hole 11 extending through it. The wearing structure 210 can be connected to the headphone body 220 through a sound transmission tube 230, so that when the wearing structure 210 is in the wearing state, the headphone body 220 can hang down outside the auricle 100. The sound transmission hole 11 can be connected to the headphone body 220 through the sound transmission tube 230, so that the sound emitted by the transducer can be transmitted sequentially through the sound transmission hole 11 and the sound transmission tube 230 to the vicinity of the ear canal opening 101.

[0084] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the sound transmission duct 230 can extend and protrude along the thickness direction (Z-axis direction) of the headphone body 220, and the wearing structure 210 is sleeved on the sound transmission duct 230 through its sound transmission hole 11 to achieve the connection between the wearing structure 210 and the headphone body 220; or, the sound transmission duct 230 can extend and protrude from the first side 15 of the wearing structure 210 along the thickness direction (Z-axis direction) of the headphone body 220, and the headphone body 220 is sleeved on the sound transmission duct 230 through its sound outlet hole (not shown in the figure) to achieve the connection between the wearing structure 210 and the headphone body 220.

[0085] In other embodiments, the sound transmission conduit 230 may also extend in a direction inclined relative to the thickness direction of the earphone body 220.

[0086] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8As shown, the two ends of the sound transmission duct 230 may have a first connecting surface Q1 connected to the headphone body 220 and a second connecting surface Q2 connected to the wearing structure 210, respectively. The first connecting surface Q1 may be inclined relative to the second connecting surface Q2, so that when the wearing structure 210 is installed on the headphone body 220, at least the wearing structure 210 can be inclined relative to the headphone body 220, so that when the headphone 200 is in the wearing state, the headphone body 220 can be inclined toward the earlobe 108 and contact the earlobe 108, and generate a frictional force to assist in supporting the wearing of the headphone 200.

[0087] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the scope of this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of the claims of this application.
