Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic device technology, and in particular to a headphone assembly. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, headphone components generally include headphones and headphone case. The headphones include a sound-producing part and an ear hook connected to the sound-producing part. The sound-producing part includes a speaker. The ear hook is generally hook-shaped. When the headphones are worn, the ear hook can be wrapped around the ear, thereby positioning the sound-producing part near the external auditory canal.

[0003] When earphones are stored in the earphone case, the speaker and other components are located inside the sound-emitting part, making the sound-emitting part quite heavy. If a user tries to pick up the earphones from the case by holding the end of the ear hook (the end furthest from the sound-emitting part), the relatively heavy sound-emitting part requires considerable force, which can easily deform the ear hook and affect the wearing experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides an earphone assembly, including earphones and an earphone case; the earphones include a sound-emitting part and an ear hook connected to the sound-emitting part, the sound-emitting part includes a speaker, and the ear hook includes an elastic section connected to the sound-emitting part and a tail section opposite to the sound-emitting part; the earphone case includes a lower shell assembly and a blocking member, the lower shell assembly is provided with a recessed storage area for storing the earphones, and the blocking member is protruding from the storage area on the lower shell assembly; in the stored state, viewed from above the lower shell assembly, the blocking member is located on at least one side of the tail section along its extension direction, for preventing the user from picking up the tail section from the storage area.

[0005] In some embodiments, the sound-emitting part has a length direction, a thickness direction, and a width direction. The sound-emitting part includes a connecting end and a free end disposed opposite to each other in the length direction, and the connecting end is connected to the elastic segment. The sound-emitting part includes an inner sidewall and an outer sidewall disposed opposite to each other in the thickness direction. When the earphone is in the wearing state, the inner sidewall is in contact with the skin of the ear. The width direction, the length direction, and the thickness direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0006] In some embodiments, in the retracted state, the ear hook is wrapped around the outer periphery of the sound-emitting part, the elastic segment is connected to the connecting end, and the tail segment extends to the side of the free end opposite to the connecting end; viewed from above the lower shell assembly, the sound-emitting part and the blocking member are located on the same side of the tail segment along its extension direction, and the free end of the sound-emitting part and the blocking member together prevent the user from picking up the tail segment from the retracted area.

[0007] In some embodiments, in the stored state, along the length direction of the sound-emitting part, the free end of the sound-emitting part and the tail section are spaced apart, and there is a minimum spacing distance of 2-5 mm.

[0008] In some embodiments, in the retracted state, the sound-emitting part forms a first projection on a first reference plane perpendicular to the length direction along the length direction, and the blocking member forms a second projection on the first reference plane along the length direction; the first projection and the second projection do not overlap, or the first projection and the second projection have a first overlapping area, the first overlapping area has a first size in the width direction, the first projection has a second size in the width direction, and the ratio between the first size and the second size is not greater than 15%.

[0009] In some embodiments, in the stored state, the sound-emitting part forms a third projection on a second reference plane perpendicular to the width direction along the width direction, and the blocking member forms a fourth projection on the second reference plane along the width direction; the third projection and the fourth projection have a second overlapping area, the second overlapping area has a third dimension in the length direction, the fourth projection has a fourth dimension in the length direction, and the ratio between the third dimension and the fourth dimension is not less than 80%.

[0010] In some embodiments, in the stored state, at least a portion of the ear hook is spaced apart from the sound-emitting part along the width direction of the sound-emitting part, and there is a maximum spacing distance, the maximum spacing distance being not less than 12mm.

[0011] In some embodiments, the lower shell assembly includes a pivot side and an opening / closing side disposed opposite to each other, and the earphone case further includes an upper shell assembly, the upper shell assembly including an upper shell and a pivot assembly, the upper shell being pivotally connected to the pivot side via the pivot assembly to allow the earphone case to be in an open or closed state; in the stored state, and when the earphone case is in the open state, the upper shell assembly is located on one side of the tail section along its extension direction, and the blocking member is located on the other side of the tail section along its extension direction, the upper shell assembly and the blocking member together preventing the user from picking up the tail section from the storage area.

[0012] In some embodiments, when the earphone case is in the open state, the opening angle of the upper shell relative to the lower shell assembly is 80°-110°; in the stored state, and when the earphone case is in the open state, the minimum distance between the tail section and the upper shell assembly is no greater than 5mm.

[0013] In some embodiments, the lower shell assembly includes a lower support, on which a flat area and a storage area are provided; the storage area is recessed relative to the flat area, and the storage area includes a first storage area and a second storage area; in the stored state, the second storage area is configured to store at least part of the sound-emitting part, and the first storage area is configured to store at least part of the ear hook; the blocking member is disposed in the flat area and integrally formed with the lower support.

[0014] In some embodiments, there are two earphones, two first storage areas, and two second storage areas. Each second storage area is used to store at least a portion of the sound-producing part of the corresponding earphone, and each first storage area is used to store at least a portion of the ear hook of the corresponding earphone. In the stored state, viewed from above the lower shell assembly, the sound-producing parts of the two earphones are arranged adjacent to each other, the elastic segments of the two earphones are far apart from each other, and the tail segments of the two earphones are close to each other. The two second storage areas are arranged adjacent to each other, and the flat area includes a first flat area located between the two second storage areas. The blocking member is disposed in the first flat area.

[0015] In some embodiments, the sound-emitting part and the blocking member are located on the same side of the tail section along its extension direction, the sound-emitting part includes a connecting end and a free end disposed opposite to each other, the connecting end being connected to the elastic segment; in the retracted state, the free end is closer to the pivot side than the connecting end, and the spacing between the free ends of the two earphones is greater than the spacing between the connecting ends of the two earphones.

[0016] In some embodiments, the downward distance of the second storage area gradually decreases in the direction from the connecting end to the free end, such that the maximum protrusion height of the free end relative to the lower shell assembly is greater than the maximum protrusion height of the connecting end relative to the lower shell assembly.

[0017] In some embodiments, along the thickness direction of the earphone case, the maximum downward distance of the second storage area is less than the maximum downward distance of the first storage area, so that in the stored state, the maximum protrusion height of the sound-emitting part relative to the lower shell assembly is greater than the maximum protrusion height of the ear hook relative to the lower shell assembly; the earphone case includes a magnetic suction member disposed below the second storage area, and in the stored state, the magnetic suction member is used to magnetically attract the sound-emitting part.

[0018] In some embodiments, in the stored state, when viewed from above the lower shell assembly, the storage area has an adjacent side edge disposed adjacent to the tail section, and the adjacent side edge is located on the side of the tail section closer to the sound-emitting part; the blocking member is disposed on the adjacent side edge, or the blocking member is located on the side of the adjacent side edge away from the tail section, and the minimum spacing between the blocking member and the adjacent side edge is not greater than 5mm.

[0019] In some embodiments, in the stored state, along the thickness direction of the earphone case, the maximum protrusion height of the blocking member relative to the lower shell assembly exceeds the height at one-third of the tail section, but does not exceed the maximum protrusion height of the earphone relative to the lower shell assembly.

[0020] If a user picks up the ear hook from the storage area, the speaker is housed within the sound-emitting part, making the sound-emitting part relatively heavy. This requires significant force to pick up the earphone, potentially causing substantial deformation of the ear hook's elastic segment and affecting the wearing experience. Specifically, in some designs, the weight of the sound-emitting part exceeds the weight of the ear hook. Alternatively, the earphone case may include a magnetic closure located below the storage area. In the stored state, the sound-emitting part is magnetically secured by the magnetic closure. In this case, picking up the ear hook's tail from the storage area will cause even greater deformation of the ear hook's elastic segment, potentially leading to further damage. The solution in this application addresses this by providing a blocking element on at least one side of the tail segment along its extension direction. This blocking element prevents the user from picking up the ear hook from the storage area, thus avoiding significant deformation of the ear hook during the user's earphone retrieval process.

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] The terms "first" and "second" used in the embodiments of this application are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0033] In this document, the term "embodiment" 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 mutually exclusive, independent, or alternative embodiment. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0034] This application provides an earphone assembly 100, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the headphone assembly 100 includes headphones 10 and a headphone case 20 for storing the headphones. In some embodiments, the headphone case 20 can also be used to charge the headphones 10.

[0035] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the earphone 10 includes a sound-emitting part 12 and an ear hook 11 connected to the sound-emitting part 12. The sound-emitting part 12 includes a speaker 123. The sound-emitting part 12 may have a connecting end 124 and a free end 125 disposed opposite to each other, with the connecting end 124 connected to the ear hook 11. The ear hook 11 includes an elastic section 111 connected to the sound-emitting part 12 and a tail section 112 facing away from the sound-emitting part 12.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, the user's ear may include physiological parts such as the external auditory canal 31, cymba conchae 32, triangular fossa 33, antihelix 34, scaphoid fossa 35, helix 36, earlobe 37, and conchae cavity 38; these physiological parts have a certain depth and volume in three-dimensional space. The earphone 10 provided in the embodiments of this application can achieve stable wearing of the earphone 10 by utilizing one or more physiological parts of the ear.

[0037] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 The sound-generating part 12 may include a housing, and a speaker 123 is disposed within the housing. The speaker 123 may include a magnetic circuit system 1230 and a diaphragm 1231. The magnetic circuit system 1230 is used to drive the diaphragm 1231 to vibrate, thereby generating sound. In some embodiments, the sound-generating part 12 has a length direction X1, a width direction Y1, and a thickness direction Z1. The connecting end 124 and the free end 125 of the sound-generating part 12 are spaced apart in the length direction X1. The sound-generating part 12 includes an inner sidewall and an outer sidewall disposed opposite to each other in the thickness direction Z1, wherein, in the wearing state, the inner sidewall of the sound-generating part 12 contacts the skin of the user's ear. The thickness direction Z1, the length direction X1, and the width direction Y1 of the sound-generating part 12 are perpendicular to each other.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, the ear hook 11 can be hook-shaped. In the wearing state, the ear hook 11 can bend and extend around the sound-generating part 12, and the tail section 112 can extend to the side of the free end 125 opposite to the connecting end 124 to match the contour of the ear. This allows the ear hook 11 to wrap around the ear when the user wears the headphones 10, positioning the sound-generating part 12 near the ear without blocking the external auditory canal 31. In some embodiments, in the wearing state, the free end 125 of the sound-generating part 12 can be at least partially placed in the concha 38 and abut against the inner wall of the concha 38.

[0039] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, in some embodiments, the earphone case 20 includes a lower shell assembly 23 and a blocking member 235. The lower shell assembly 23 has a recessed storage area for storing the earphones 10. The blocking member 235 protrudes from the storage area onto the lower shell assembly 23 to prevent a user from picking up the tail section 112 of the ear hook 11 from the storage area. The tail section 112 of the ear hook 11 has an extending direction M1. In the stored state, viewed from above the lower shell assembly 23, the blocking member 235 is located on at least one side of the tail section 112 of the ear hook 11 along its extending direction M1. In some embodiments, in the stored state, at least a portion of the earphones 10 protrudes from the lower shell assembly 23 to allow the user to pick up the earphones 10 from the storage area.

[0040] It should be noted that, in the description of this application, the "storage state" refers to the state in which the earphone 10 is placed in the storage area of ​​the earphone case 20. When this application mentions "observation from above the lower shell assembly 23," it means observation from above the lower shell assembly 23, along the thickness direction of the earphone case 20.

[0041] In addition, such as Figure 8 As shown, viewed from above the lower housing assembly 23, the tail section 112 of the ear hook 11 has two sides along its extending direction M1, which are spaced apart along the width direction N1 of the tail section 112 of the ear hook 11. Specifically, at any point on the tail section 112 of the ear hook 11, the width direction N1 is perpendicular to the extending direction M1 of the tail section 112 of the ear hook 11.

[0042] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, viewed from above the lower shell assembly 23, the blocking member 235 may be located on one side of the tail section 112 of the ear hook 11 along its extending direction M1. In some embodiments, viewed from above the lower shell assembly 23, blocking members 235 may be respectively provided on both sides of the tail section 112 of the ear hook 11 along its extending direction M1. This application does not limit this, and those skilled in the art can choose according to actual needs.

[0043] If a user picks up the tail section 112 of the ear hook 11 from the storage area, the speaker 123 is housed in the sound-emitting part 12, making the mass or size of the sound-emitting part 12 relatively large. This makes picking up the tail section 112 of the ear hook 11 relatively inconvenient (for example, requiring greater force to be applied to the tail section 112 of the ear hook 11; or, for example, requiring more careful pinching of the tail section 112 of the ear hook 11). In particular, in some embodiments, the headphone case 20 may also include a magnetic member 2311 disposed below the storage area. In the stored state, the sound-emitting part 12 can be magnetically fixed by the magnetic member 2311, making the sound-emitting part 12 more stably housed in the storage area. In these cases, if the tail section 112 of the ear hook 11 is picked up from the storage area, the elastic section 111 of the ear hook 11 will undergo greater deformation, which may further damage the ear hook 11.

[0044] In the solution of this application, by providing a blocking member 235 on at least one side of the tail section 112 of the ear hook 11, the blocking member 235 prevents the user from picking up the tail section 112 of the ear hook 11 from the storage area, making the user more inclined to pick up the sound-emitting part 12 from the storage area to take out the earphone 10, thereby reducing the probability that the ear hook 11 will be deformed or damaged during the process of the user picking up the earphone 10.

[0045] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, in the retracted state, the ear hook 11 is wrapped around the outer periphery of the sound-generating part 12, the elastic segment 111 is connected to the connecting end 124, and the tail segment 112 extends to the free end 125 on the side opposite to the connecting end 124. Viewed from above the lower shell assembly 23, the sound-generating part 12 and the blocking member 235 are located on the same side of the tail segment 112 of the ear hook 11 along its extending direction M1. This arrangement allows the sound-generating part 12 and the blocking member 235 to jointly prevent the user from picking up the tail segment 112 of the ear hook 11 from the storage area, which helps to improve the blocking effect. At the same time, it realizes the "dual function" of the sound-generating part 12, which helps to reduce the size of the blocking member 235.

[0046] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, in the retracted state, along the length direction X1 of the sound-emitting part 12, the sound-emitting part 12 and the tail section 112 of the ear hook 11 are spaced apart, with a minimum spacing distance D2, which is 2-5mm. For example, D2 can be 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, etc. This arrangement can prevent fingers from entering the space between the sound-emitting part 12 and the tail section 112 of the ear hook 11, further reducing the possibility of the user picking up the tail section 112 of the ear hook 11. At the same time, it avoids the ear hook 11 from pressing too much against the area behind the ear when wearing, ensuring wearing comfort.

[0047] like Figure 8As shown, in some embodiments, in the retracted state, the sound-emitting part 12 forms a first projection along the length direction X1 on a first reference plane perpendicular to the length direction X1, and the blocking member 235 forms a second projection along the length direction X1 on the first reference plane. The first and second projections do not overlap, or there is a first overlapping area between them. The first overlapping area has a first dimension in the width direction Y1, and the first projection has a second dimension in the width direction Y1. The ratio between the first and second dimensions is no greater than 15%, for example, it could be 5%, 10%, 15%, etc. This arrangement ensures that the blocking areas of the sound-emitting part 12 and the blocking member 235 on the tail section 112 do not overlap or have a small overlap ratio, maximizing the blocking length of the sound-emitting part 12 and the blocking member 235 on the tail section 112, which is beneficial for optimizing the size of the blocking member 235.

[0048] It should be noted that the arrangement of the blocking component 235 should make the best use of the existing available space. For example... Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, in the retracted state, the sound-emitting part 12 forms a third projection along the width direction Y1 on a second reference plane perpendicular to the width direction Y1, and the blocking member 235 forms a fourth projection along the width direction Y1 on the second reference plane. The third and fourth projections have a second overlapping area, which has a third dimension in the length direction X1, and the fourth projection has a fourth dimension in the length direction X1. The ratio between the third and fourth dimensions is not less than 80%, for example, it can be 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 100%, etc. This arrangement allows the blocking member 235 to primarily occupy the existing areas on both sides of the sound-emitting part 12, eliminating the need for additional space, making the overall layout of the headphone case 20 more compact and helping to reduce the size of the headphone case 20.

[0049] It should be noted that, viewed from above the lower housing assembly 23, there needs to be sufficient clearance on both sides of the sound-emitting part 12 so that the user can pick up the sound-emitting part 12 from the storage area and then pick up the earphone 10.

[0050] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, at least a portion of the ear hook 11 is spaced apart from the sound-emitting part 12 along the width direction Y1 of the sound-emitting part 12, and there is a maximum spacing distance D3, where D3 is not less than 12mm. For example, D3 can be 12mm, 14mm, 16mm, etc. This arrangement ensures that the side of the sound-emitting part 12 near the elastic segment 111 of the ear hook 11 has sufficient gap so that the user can pick up the sound-emitting part 12 from the storage area. At the same time, it avoids the ear hook 11 from excessively compressing the area behind the ear when wearing the ear, ensuring wearing comfort.

[0051] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 8In some embodiments, the lower shell assembly 23 may include a pivot side 2306 and an opening / closing side 2307 disposed opposite each other. The earphone case 20 may also include an upper shell assembly. The upper shell assembly includes an upper shell 21 and a pivot assembly 22. The upper shell 21 can be pivotally connected to the pivot side 2306 of the lower shell assembly 23 via the pivot assembly 22, so that the upper shell 21 can rotate relative to the lower shell assembly 23 about a predetermined rotation axis, causing the earphone case 20 to be in a position such that… Figure 1 The closed state shown (also known as the closed lid state) or as... Figure 2 The "open state" as shown in this application refers to the state in which the upper shell 21 is opened to a preset angle relative to the lower shell assembly 23 and is then limited and cannot be opened further.

[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, when the earphone case 20 is in the open state, the opening angle of the upper shell 21 relative to the lower shell assembly 23 is 80°-110°. For example, the opening angle can be 80°, 90°, 100°, 110°, etc.

[0053] When the earphone case 20 is in the stored state and the earphone case 20 is in the open state, the upper shell assembly is located on one side of the tail section 112 along its extension direction M1, and the blocking member 235 is located on the other side of the tail section 112 along its extension direction. The upper shell assembly and the blocking member 235 together prevent the user from picking up the tail section 112 from the storage area, which helps to further reduce the possibility of the user picking up the tail section 112 from the storage area.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, when the earphone case 20 is in the stored state and open, the minimum distance D4 between the tail section 112 and the upper shell assembly is no more than 5mm. For example, D4 ​​can be 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, etc. On the one hand, this reduces the possibility of the user's finger entering the gap area between the upper shell assembly and the tail section 112 to pick up the tail section 112. On the other hand, since the tail section 112 is located near the pivot side 2306, when the user opens the earphone case 20, the tail section 112 is relatively far from the user. According to usage habits, the user will prioritize picking up the sound-producing part 12 that is closer to them, which helps to further reduce the possibility of the user picking up the tail section 112.

[0055] In some embodiments, the sound-emitting part 12 and the blocking member 235 are located on the same side of the tail section 112 along its extending direction M1. Thus, in the retracted state, viewed from above the lower shell assembly 23, the tail section 112 of the ear hook 11 is closer to the pivot side 2306 than the sound-emitting part 12; that is, the distance from the tail section 112 of the ear hook 11 to the pivot side 2306 is less than the distance from the sound-emitting part 12 to the pivot side 2306. Based on usage habits, users tend to prioritize picking up the sound-emitting part 12, which is closer to them, when opening the headphone case 20.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the lower shell assembly 23 may further include a flat area 2347, wherein the storage area is recessed relative to the flat area 2347. The storage area may include a first storage area 2346 and a second storage area 23471. In the stored state, the second storage area 23471 is configured to store at least part of the sound-emitting part 12, and the first storage area 2346 is configured to store at least part of the ear hook 11. In some embodiments, the blocking member 235 may be arranged in the flat area 2347. This arrangement allows direct utilization of the height of the flat area 2347, thereby reducing the height design requirements of the blocking member 235.

[0057] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the lower shell assembly 23 may include a lower support 234, wherein the storage area and the flat area 2347 are both part of the lower support 234. In some embodiments, the blocking member 235 may be integrally formed with the lower support 234 for ease of manufacturing. In some embodiments, the blocking member 235 may also be adhered and fixed to the lower support 234, and the material may be the same as that of the lower support 234. Alternatively, the blocking member 235 may be made of a different material than the lower support 234. This application does not impose any limitations on this, and those skilled in the art can choose according to actual needs.

[0058] like Figure 6 As shown, the maximum downward distance of the first storage area 2346 can be greater than the maximum downward distance of the second storage area 23471, so that in the stored state, the maximum protrusion height of the sound-emitting part 12 relative to the lower shell assembly 23 is greater than the maximum protrusion height of the ear hook 11 relative to the lower shell assembly 23, making it easier for the user to pick up the sound-emitting part 12 from the lower support 234 and reducing the possibility of the user picking up the ear hook 11 from the lower support 234.

[0059] It should be noted that the "sinking distance" described in this application can refer to the height difference between a point in the second storage area 23471 or the first storage area 2346 and the highest point of the lower support 234 in the thickness direction of the earphone case 20 (e.g., the height of the highest point of the lower support 234 minus the height of that point). The "maximum sinking distance" described in this application can refer to the height difference between the lowest point in the second storage area 23471 or the first storage area 2346 and the highest point of the lower support 234 in the thickness direction of the earphone case 20 (e.g., the height of the highest point of the lower support 234 minus the height of that lowest point).

[0060] like Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, a recess 2351 may be provided in the second storage area 23471 to accommodate the protrusion on the sound-emitting part 12. The "maximum sinking distance of the second storage area 23471" or "sinking distance of the second storage area 23471" described in this application may refer to the maximum sinking distance / sinking distance of the other areas in the second storage area 23471 other than the recess 2351.

[0061] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the earphone case 20 may further include a magnetic member 2311, and the lower shell assembly 23 may further include a lower shell 230. The magnetic member 2311 is disposed within the accommodating space 23b formed by the lower shell 230 and the lower support 234. Specifically, the magnetic member 2311 may be located below the second storage area 23471, and in the stored state, it cooperates with the magnetic circuit system 1230 of the sound-emitting part 12 to achieve magnetic fixation of the sound-emitting part 12.

[0062] As mentioned earlier, the maximum downward distance of the first storage area 2346 can be greater than the maximum downward distance of the second storage area 23471. This arrangement also allows for more space below the second storage area 23471 to accommodate the magnetic component 2311, improving space utilization and facilitating the enlargement of the magnetic component 2311 to provide a stronger magnetic field to attract the sound-emitting part 12 of the earphone 10. By setting the magnetic component 2311 below the storage area for magnetically attracting the sound-emitting part 12, it can be ensured that the earphone 10 can be stably stored in the earphone case 20 in the stored state. However, the setting of the magnetic component 2311 also causes the sound-emitting part 12 to be magnetically fixed, requiring greater force to be applied when picking up the earphone 10. In particular, if the tail section 112 of the ear hook 11 is picked up from the storage area, the elastic section 111 will bear a greater torque, making it more prone to deformation or even damage. At this time, with the help of the blocking member 235, the user can be made to pick up the sound-producing part 12 from the headphone case 20 to take out the headphone 10, thereby reducing the probability that the ear hook 11 will be deformed or damaged during the process of the user picking up the headphone 10.

[0063] See also Figure 7 and Figure 8In some embodiments, the number of earphones 10 can be two, and correspondingly, the number of first storage areas 2346 can be two, and the number of second storage areas 23471 can also be two. Each second storage area 23471 is used to store at least a portion of the sound-emitting part 12 of the corresponding earphone 10, and each first storage area 2346 is used to store at least a portion of the ear hook 11 of the corresponding earphone 10. In some embodiments, the two first storage areas 2346 can be connected to each other, or the two second storage areas 23471 can be connected to each other, or the second storage area 23471 corresponding to each earphone 10 can be connected to the first storage area 2346. This application does not limit this, and those skilled in the art can choose according to actual needs.

[0064] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, when viewed from above the lower housing assembly 23 in the retracted state, the sound-emitting portions 12 of the two earphones 10 are arranged adjacent to each other. The elastic segments 111 of the two earphones 10 are far apart from each other, while the tail segments 112 of the two earphones 10 are close together.

[0065] Accordingly, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, two second storage areas 23471 are arranged adjacent to each other. The flat area 2347 includes a first flat area 23472 located between the two second storage areas 23471. The blocking member 235 can be disposed in the first flat area 23472 to make full use of the space between the two second storage areas 23471. In addition, in the stored state, the arrangement of the first flat area 23472 allows a gap to be formed between the sound-emitting parts 12 of the two earphones 10, making it convenient for the user to pick up the sound-emitting parts 12 through the gap.

[0066] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, in the stored state, the free end 125 is closer to the pivot side 2306 than the connecting end 124, and the distance between the free ends 125 of the two earphones 10 is greater than the distance between the connecting ends 124 of the two earphones 10, making the user more inclined to pick up the free end 125 of the sound-emitting part 12 from the storage area.

[0067] like Figure 9 As shown, in the retracted state, along direction P2 from the connecting end 124 to the free end 125, the downward distance of the second storage area 23471 gradually decreases, making the maximum protrusion height of the free end 125 relative to the lower shell assembly 23 greater than the maximum protrusion height of the connecting end 124 relative to the lower shell assembly 23. On one hand, this allows the free end 125 of the sound-emitting part 12 to protrude significantly above the lower support 234, further facilitating the user's pickup of the free end 125 of the sound-emitting part 12. On the other hand, it increases the space below the second storage area 23471, facilitating the arrangement of components within the accommodating space 23b. For example... Figure 8As shown, in some embodiments, when in the stored state, viewed from above the lower housing assembly 23, along the length direction X1, the blocking member 235 is positioned near the free end 125 of the sound-emitting part 12. This arrangement ensures that there is a sufficient continuous gap in the length direction X1 between the sound-emitting part 12 and the connecting end 124 and the blocking member 235, further ensuring that the blocking member 235 does not interfere with the user's ability to pick up the sound-emitting part 12 from the storage area.

[0068] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, when viewed from above the lower shell assembly 23 in the retracted state, the retractable area has a side edge 2317 adjacent to the tail section 112 of the ear hook 11, and the side edge 2317 is located on the side of the tail section 112 of the ear hook 11 closer to the sound-emitting part 12. A blocking member 235 is located on the side of the side edge 2317 away from the tail section 112, and the minimum distance D1 between the blocking member 235 and the side edge 2317 is no greater than 5mm. For example, D1 can be 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, etc. This arrangement prevents fingers from entering the gap area between the blocking member 235 and the side edge 2317, further reducing the possibility of the user picking up the tail section 112 of the ear hook 11. Simultaneously, the blocking member 235 is positioned as close as possible to the end of the free end 125 of the sound-emitting part 12. In some embodiments, the blocking member 235 may also be located on the side edge 2317.

[0069] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, viewed from above the lower housing assembly 23, the blocking member 235 is elongated along the adjacent side edge 2317. In some embodiments, viewed from above the lower housing assembly 23, the shape of the blocking member 235 can be adapted to the shape of the adjacent side edge 2317, exhibiting a certain curvature. With this arrangement, the blocking member 235 can be closer to the tail section 112. This application does not limit this, and those skilled in the art can choose according to actual needs.

[0070] In some embodiments, in the stored state, the blocking member 235 is configured not to make contact with the earphone 10, thereby avoiding interference between the blocking member 235 and the earphone 10 during the process of picking up or storing the earphone 10.

[0071] In some embodiments, in the stored state, along the thickness direction of the earphone case 20, the maximum protrusion height of the blocking member 235 relative to the lower shell assembly 23 should exceed the height of one-third of the tail section 112 of the ear hook 11, while not exceeding the maximum protrusion height of the earphone 10 relative to the lower shell assembly 23. This arrangement avoids the blocking member 235 being too high, which would affect the overall size of the earphone case 20, and also avoids the blocking member 235 being too low, which would make it difficult for the user to pick up the tail section 112 of the ear hook 11 from the storage area. In this application, "the height of one-third of the tail section 112 of the ear hook 11" refers to the height of the tail section 112 of the ear hook 11 from the bottom up, along the thickness direction of the earphone case 20, in the stored state.

[0072] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, when viewed from above the lower shell assembly 23, the storage area can be symmetrically distributed with respect to the central axis M of the lower shell assembly 23, and the central axis M can be perpendicular to the axis of rotation between the upper shell 21 and the lower shell assembly 23. Accordingly, the two earphones 10 can be placed symmetrically with respect to the central axis M of the earphone case 20.

[0073] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and does not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
