[0035] With the increasing popularity of AI-powered fully open wearable headphones in daily life, different people often have slightly different postures when wearing headphones. The fixed camera on the headphones, due to its fixed angle, cannot achieve better imaging results, reducing the headphones' versatility and adjustability.

[0036] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the overall structure of the earphone 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 2A schematic structural diagram of the earphone 100 according to another perspective of an embodiment of the present invention is shown. For example... Figure 1 and 2 As shown, this utility model proposes an earphone 100. The earphone 100 of this utility model includes an earphone body 10, an earphone hook 20, and a power supply component 30. The earphone body 10 includes an image acquisition component 12, a transmission component, and a shell. The shell has a receiving cavity, and the image acquisition component 12 and the transmission component are both disposed in the receiving cavity. The shell has a first opening and a second opening. The acquisition end of the image acquisition component 12 is arranged facing the first opening. One end of the earphone hook 20 is provided with a connector 21, which is movably housed in the receiving cavity. The transmission component is connected to the connector 21 to drive the earphone hook 20 and the earphone body 10 to rotate relative to each other. The power supply component 30 is disposed at the other end of the earphone hook 20 and is electrically connected to the image acquisition component 12.

[0037] By using the earphone 100 in this technical solution, the image acquisition unit 12 is located in the receiving cavity, and the acquisition end faces the first opening. Since the transmission component and the connector 21 are connected by transmission, the earphone body 10 and the earphone hook 20 can rotate relative to each other, thereby adjusting the orientation angle of the first opening and the acquisition end, so as to meet the imaging needs of different users when using the earphone 100, thus adapting to more users. In addition, the power supply component 30 can provide power to the image acquisition unit 12.

[0038] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 , 4 As shown in Figure 5, the transmission assembly includes a first gear 131, which is movably connected to the housing and can rotate about its own axis. The connecting member 21 includes a transmission part 212 and a connecting part 211 connected together. The connecting part 211 is located in the second opening and connected to the earphone hook 20. The transmission part 212 is located in the receiving cavity, and the side of the transmission part 212 facing the first gear 131 has a rack structure 2121. The first gear 131 and the rack structure 2121 are meshed together. In this embodiment, the connecting part 211 is used to connect the transmission part 212 and the earphone hook 20. The rack structure 2121 of the transmission part 212 is meshed with the first gear 131, which allows the rotation between the earphone body 10 and the earphone hook 20 to be achieved by the user's adjustment, thereby changing the relative position of the earphone body 10 and the earphone hook 20. Since the acquisition end in this embodiment is located in the first opening, it can rotate with the rotation of the earphone body 10, ultimately achieving the adjustment of the orientation of the acquisition end of the image acquisition member 12.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the projection of the transmission part 212 toward the second opening is located outside the second opening, and the area of ​​the transmission part 212 is larger than that of the second opening. This ensures that the transmission part 212 will not easily detach from the second opening, thereby improving reliability.

[0040] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, the rack structure 2121 is an arc-shaped rack that meshes with the first gear 131. In this embodiment, the earphone hook 20 has a hanging space enclosed within it, and the first opening is located on the side of the outer shell away from the hanging space. By designing the rack structure 2121 as an arc-shaped rack that meshes with the first gear 131, the rotation of the earphone body 10 and the earphone hook 20 can result in the earphone body 10 swinging relative to the earphone hook 20 towards or away from the hanging space, thereby achieving the orientation adjustment of the acquisition end at the first opening.

[0041] In some embodiments of this utility model, the inner wall surface of the outer casing is provided with a track groove, and the connecting member 21 is provided with a sliding part that matches the shape of the track groove. The sliding part is located in the track groove and can slide back and forth along the track groove. In this embodiment, when the transmission part 212 engages with the first gear 131, it will generate relative movement with the outer casing. The sliding part and track groove in this embodiment can provide guidance for the movement of the transmission part 212 within the outer casing, ensuring the accuracy of the movement of the transmission part 212.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, multiple sliding parts and multiple track grooves can be provided. The number of sliding parts and track grooves are consistent and correspond one-to-one. The cooperative structure of multiple sliding parts and multiple track grooves can make the guiding effect of the housing on the transmission part 212 better and improve reliability.

[0043] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and 4 As shown, a first connecting hole is provided inside the first gear 131. The transmission assembly also includes a damper 14. One end of the damper 14 is connected to the outer shell, and the other end of the damper 14 passes through the first connecting hole and is connected to the first gear 131. In this embodiment, the damper 14 is a rotary damper 1414. On the one hand, it can ensure the smooth rotation of the first gear 131 and reduce the noise of the first gear 131. On the other hand, when the headphone 100 is powered off, the damper 14 connected to the first gear 131 can ensure that the first gear 131 is fixed, thereby ensuring that the headphone hook 20 and the headphone body 10 remain in their current positions, so that the headphone hook 20 and the headphone body 10 will not fall off or detach.

[0044] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 , 4As shown in Figure 5, the transmission assembly also includes a second gear 132 and a driving member 133. The second gear 132 is movably connected to the housing and can rotate around its own axis. The second gear 132 is meshed with the first gear 131. The driving member 133 is connected to the second gear 132 and is used to drive the second gear 132 to rotate. In this embodiment, the driving member 133 can be a motor or other driving component that can drive the second gear 132 to rotate. The driving member 133 is used to drive the first gear 131 and cause the first gear 131 to rotate. Since the first gear 131 and the second gear 132 are meshed, the second gear 132 can also rotate, thereby causing the rack structure 2121 and the earphone hook 20 to rotate relative to the earphone body 10. Since the earphone hook 20 is attached to the ear and is a fixed structure, the earphone body 10 rotates relative to the earphone hook 20, ultimately achieving the adjustment of the orientation of the acquisition end of the image acquisition device 12.

[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, the drive unit 133 is electrically connected to the power supply assembly 30, enabling the power supply assembly 30 to provide power to the drive unit 133.

[0046] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the headphone body 10 also includes a control board 16, which is electrically connected to the power supply assembly 30 and the image acquisition unit 12. In this embodiment, the control board 16 can analyze and record the images acquired by the image acquisition unit 12, and transmit them to other devices through the transmission components on the control board 16. In this embodiment, the control board 16 is also electrically connected to the power supply assembly 30 and can obtain power from the power supply assembly 30. In this embodiment, the control board 16 can be a PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly).

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, the power supply assembly 30 includes a power supply component and a connecting wire. The power supply component is located at the other end of the earphone hook 20. The earphone hook 20 has a channel. The two opposite ends of the channel are respectively provided with a first opening and a second opening. Part of the connecting wire is located in the channel. One end of the connecting wire passes through the first opening and is electrically connected to the power supply component. The other end of the connecting wire passes through the second opening and is electrically connected to the image acquisition component 12 and the control board 16 inside the earphone body 10.

[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, the connector 21 has a through hole, and the other end of the connecting wire passes through the second opening and the through hole in sequence to reach the receiving cavity, thereby realizing the electrical connection with the image acquisition device 12 and the control board 16.

[0049] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and 4As shown, a rotation angle sensor 161 is provided on the control board 16, and a magnetic element 15 is provided on the first gear 131. The magnetic element 15 is correspondingly arranged with the rotation angle sensor 161. In this embodiment, the magnetic element 15 (such as a permanent magnet) is fixed on the first gear 131, and its magnetic field direction changes periodically as the first gear 131 rotates. The magnetic sensitive element (such as a Hall element or a magnetoresistive element) in the rotation angle sensor 161 on the control board 16 can detect the change in the magnetic field direction and convert it into a voltage or resistance signal. It can detect the rotation angle between the earphone hook 20 and the earphone body 10 in real time and adjust it to the required angle at any time.

[0050] Specifically, in this embodiment, the inner wall of the outer shell is provided with a snap-fit ​​protrusion, and a snap-fit ​​cavity is formed in the snap-fit ​​protrusion. The control plate 16 is embedded in the snap-fit ​​cavity, which can make the structure flat and the installation stable.

[0051] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, a limiting part is provided inside the outer shell, and a stop part is provided on the connector 21. The limiting part is used to abut against the stop part when the connector 21 rotates relative to the outer shell to a preset angle. In this embodiment, the limiting part has a first surface and a second surface along the rotation direction of the outer shell, and the outer shell has a first limit position (at the first limit angle) and a second limit position (at the second limit angle). When in the first limit position, the first surface abuts against the stop part, and when in the second position, the second surface abuts against the stop part. This enables the outer shell and the connector 21 to be limited and positioned at the limit positions, and to be limited and positioned within a preset range, ensuring that the outer shell and the connector 21 do not interfere with other components during rotation.

[0052] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the outer shell includes a first half-shell 111 and a second half-shell 112, which are fastened together and enclose a receiving cavity. In this embodiment, the combined structure of the first half-shell 111 and the second half-shell 112 facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the outer shell, and facilitates the maintenance or replacement of the internal components.

[0053] In this embodiment, the earphone body 10 also includes a sound-generating component, which includes a speaker (dynamic / balanced armature unit) that converts electrical signals into sound. The sound quality depends on the unit material and tuning. The sound-generating component also includes a main control chip, sensors, and functional modules, all located within the receiving cavity. The main control chip is responsible for Bluetooth connectivity, audio decoding, noise reduction algorithms, etc., directly affecting sound quality and functionality. The sensors and functional modules include a microphone and an in-ear detection sensor. The microphone is used for calls and noise reduction, while the in-ear detection sensor enables pause when removed and playback when worn. Additionally, the power supply components include a small lithium battery and an antenna module to provide battery life, with a lithium battery protection IC to prevent overcharging, and the antenna module to ensure stable Bluetooth signal transmission.

[0054] In some embodiments of this utility model, the image acquisition component 12 is a camera. In this embodiment, after the earphone 100 is properly worn, the camera is generally angled towards the front of the face. However, due to differences in individual wearing postures, the camera's orientation may deviate, affecting optical imaging and failing to meet design requirements. In this embodiment, the camera can rotate through the cooperation of the transmission component and the connector 21, ultimately achieving camera angle tilt, thereby meeting optical requirements and normal shooting requirements.

[0055] Specifically, in this embodiment, the camera is a miniature camera, a product of modern high technology, also known as a miniature monitor, characterized by its small size, powerful functions, and good concealment. The camera is connected to the control board 16 via FPC121 and fixed in the fixing slots of the first half-shell 111 and the second half-shell 112 of the earphone 100.

[0056] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a first positioning post is provided on the inner wall surface of the outer casing. The first positioning post is fixedly connected to the damper 14, and the damper 14 is drivenly connected to the first gear 131 to control the rotation speed of the first gear 131. A second positioning post is also provided on the inner wall surface of the outer casing. The second gear 132 is sleeved on the second positioning post and can rotate around its own axis. The motor is drivenly connected to the first gear 131.

[0057] Furthermore, the adjustment method of the earphone 100 in this utility model is as follows: the rotation of the motor can drive the second gear 132 to rotate, the second gear 132 drives the first gear 131, and the first gear 131 drives the connector 21 of the earphone hook 20 to rotate. Since the outer shell of the earphone 100 is provided with a groove that cooperates with the sliding part of the earphone hook 20, the earphone hook 20 can rotate within the groove at a certain angle, thereby realizing the relative rotational movement of the earphone hook 20 and the earphone body 10, and realizing the adjustment of the camera angle.

[0058] The earphone 100 of this invention can intelligently adjust the camera. Different users can memorize and adjust the camera angle according to the actual wearing effect (the camera rotation angle can also be memorized, and multiple different suitable angles can be memorized, switching in real time based on the memorized angle when different people use it). Each time it is worn, it can ensure that the camera is at the optimal shooting angle. In addition, when shooting, the shooting angle can also be intelligently adjusted by voice according to the actual shooting angle requirements.

[0059] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
