[0002] With the booming development of the smart wearable industry, the diversity of headphones is becoming increasingly rich, and users' demand for products that can be worn more conveniently and comfortably for extended periods is also growing stronger. Clip-on headphones are fixed to the ears by clamping them in place, allowing for long-term wear without entering the ear canal. This ensures environmental awareness while also reducing bacterial growth in the ear canal.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent document CN223142092U, entitled "Ear Clip-on Headphones," mentions that "Ear clip-on headphones include two ear shells, a connecting bridge, a control board, and an air pump; the connecting bridge connects the two ear shells; the control board and the air pump, wherein each ear shell is provided with an air bladder, and both the control board and the air pump are disposed within the ear shells; the control board is used to inflate and deflate the air bladder via the air pump to adjust the distance between the two ear shells. The ear clip-on headphones of this application can adjust the clamping pressure on the user's ear to meet the usage needs of different users."

[0004] However, most existing headphone connectors use flexible connectors to connect the various parts of the headphone and adapt to the ear. These flexible connectors have a certain degree of flexibility and deformability, which can adapt to different ear shapes to a certain extent. However, during long-term use, the existing flexible connectors of headphones are prone to fatigue and aging due to the need for frequent deformation and recovery. Their elasticity will gradually decrease and their deformation capacity will also weaken, making them unable to effectively adapt to changes in ear shape.

[0005] Therefore, a new technical solution needs to be researched to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the present invention addresses the deficiencies of the existing technology, and its main objective is to provide an ear clip-on earphone.

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0037] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, an ear clip-on earphone is provided, including a main unit assembly and an elastic ear clip 20. The main unit assembly includes a main unit housing 10 and a connecting portion 11. The connecting portion 11 is located at one end of the main unit housing 10 and is integrally formed with the main unit housing 10. The elastic ear clip 20 is located at the end of the connecting portion 11 away from the main unit housing 10, and a locking structure 30 is provided between the elastic ear clip 20 and the connecting portion 11. The elastic ear clip 20 is used to conform to the outer edge of the ear to clamp the ear together with the main unit housing 10.

[0038] 1. By setting up a main unit and an elastic ear clip 20, the elastic ear clip 20 is fixedly connected to the main unit housing 10 of the main unit through the connecting part 11 of the main unit. The main unit housing 10 and the connecting part 11 in the main unit are integrally formed. This design enhances the overall mechanical stability and reliability of the headphones and avoids the inability of traditional flexible connection bridge materials to effectively restore their shape due to material fatigue and aging after long-term use. At the same time, the elastic ear clip 20 is preferably made of soft rubber or memory foam material, which has better anti-fatigue and anti-aging properties. In long-term use, it can withstand frequent deformation and recovery without easily causing damage to the microstructure inside the material, thereby effectively extending the service life of the headphones and reducing the problem of reduced elasticity and weakened deformation ability caused by material aging.

[0039] 2. The elastic ear clips 20, made of soft rubber or memory foam, have a certain degree of deformation capability. They can be compressed and rebounded according to the thickness of the user's ear, adapting to different users' ear shapes. This makes the elastic ear clips 20 fit the ear better and prevents them from easily falling off, thus improving the stability of the earphones. At the same time, the soft rubber or memory foam material has a certain degree of deformation capability, which can improve the user's wearing comfort and overall user experience.

[0040] Preferably, the elastic ear clip 20 is made of soft rubber or memory foam material, with silicone or rubber being preferred as the soft rubber material. By using soft rubber or memory foam material for the elastic ear clip 20, the material's inherent deformation capability allows it to compress and rebound according to the user's ear thickness, adapting to different ear shapes and making the ear more comfortable to wear. This also effectively avoids the problem of reduced elasticity and weakened deformation capability caused by frequent deformation and recovery, allowing for a more durable adaptation to changes in ear shape and extending the earphone's lifespan.

[0041] Preferably, the first arrangement of the fixed structure 30 is as follows: Figure 2-4As shown, the fixing structure 30 includes a fixing block. The fixing block includes a first entry part 31a and a first locking platform 32a. The first entry part 31a is located at one end of the connecting part 11, and a locking claw 33a for engaging connection is provided between the first entry part 31a and the connecting part 11. The first locking platform 32a is located on the first entry part 31a, and the first entry part 31a is located in the middle of the first locking platform 32a. By setting the fixing block with the first entry part 31a, the first locking platform 32a and the locking claw 33a, a stable connection between the elastic ear clip 20 and the main unit assembly can be achieved. At the same time, this connection method, combined with the material properties of the elastic ear clip 20, can better ensure connection stability during long-term use, reduce the situation where the earphone cannot effectively adapt to changes in ear shape due to loose connection, and extend the service life of the earphone.

[0042] Furthermore, the claw 33a is provided with an inclined surface 331a. One end of the connecting part 11 is provided with a first slot 111a corresponding to the claw 33a. The elastic ear clip 20 is provided with a first fixing groove 112a for fixing the first locking platform 32a, and the claw 33a extends outward from the top of the first fixing groove 112a. By providing the inclined surface 331a, it guides the claw 33a into the first slot 111a, so that the claw 33a can be more smoothly locked into the first slot 111a. At the same time, through the locking connection between the claw 33a and the first slot 111a, the connection between the fixing structure 30 and the connecting part 11 is tighter and more stable. During long-term use, it can effectively prevent the connection between the elastic ear clip 20 and the main unit from loosening, thus extending the service life of the earphone.

[0043] Furthermore, a second fixing groove 113a is provided between the elastic clamping lug 20 and the first fixing groove 112a for the connecting part 11 to extend into. The connecting part 11 is located in the second fixing groove 113a and is engaged with the claw 33a. By providing the second fixing groove 113a, the connecting part 11 is more securely placed within the elastic clamping lug 20, enhancing the stability of the overall structure.

[0044] Preferably, the second arrangement of the fixed structure 30 is as follows: Figure 5-6 As shown, the fixing structure 30 includes a latch. The latch includes a second entry portion 31b and a second locking platform 32b. The second entry portion 31b is located at one end of the connecting portion 11. The locking platform is located on the second entry portion 31b. The outer diameter of the second entry portion 31b is smaller than the outer diameter of the second locking platform 32b. By adopting the latch structure of the second entry portion 31b and the second locking platform 32b, the structure is simple and the connection is stable. Combined with the material advantages of the elastic ear clip 20, it can effectively ensure the connection between the elastic ear clip 20 and the main unit during long-term use, reducing the possibility that the headphones cannot adapt to changes in ear shape due to connection problems or material aging, thus extending the service life of the headphones.

[0045] Furthermore, the elastic ear clip 20 is provided with a vertical portion 111b and a third fixing groove 112b arranged sequentially from the outside to the inside. The second locking platform 32b is fixed in the third fixing groove 112b, and the second entry portion 31b is provided in the vertical portion 111b. By providing the vertical portion 111b and the third fixing groove 112b, the second entry portion 31b and the second locking platform 32b of the clip are fixed sequentially through the vertical portion 111b and the third fixing groove 112b, making the fixing structure 30 more stable and reliable. In conjunction with the material properties of the elastic ear clip 20, it can effectively avoid the problem of the earphone being unable to adapt to changes in ear shape due to loose connection or material aging during long-term use, and can ensure the normal use and long life of the earphone.

[0046] Furthermore, the connecting part 11, the second entry part 31b, and the second locking platform 32b are integrally formed. By integrally forming the connecting part 11, the second entry part 31b, and the second locking platform 32b, the overall strength and stability of the fixing structure 30 are improved, the possibility of loosening or damage to the connecting part 11 is reduced, and the service life of the earphone is extended.

[0047] Preferably, a sound-generating unit is provided inside the main housing 10. The sound-generating unit includes an earphone PCB board 41, an earphone battery 42, a touch component 43 for receiving press signals, and a speaker module 44. A sound outlet is provided on one side of the main housing 10. The speaker module 44 is located on the side of the sound outlet. The earphone battery 42 is located on the side of the speaker module 44, and the earphone PCB board 41 is located on the side of the earphone battery 42. The touch component 43 is located on the earphone PCB board 41 and electrically connected to the earphone PCB board 41. In this embodiment, the touch component 43 includes a touch conductive spring on the earphone PCB board 41 and a touch conductive cotton on the touch spring. The earphone battery 42 is electrically connected to the speaker module 44 and the earphone PCB board 41 respectively. By setting up the sound-generating unit, the basic sound-generating function of the earphone is ensured to operate normally and stably.

[0048] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and only specifically describe the technical principles of the present utility model. These descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model in any way. Based on this explanation, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model, as well as other specific embodiments of the present utility model that can be conceived by those skilled in the art without creative effort, should be included within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
