[0021] The neck hanging assembly 30 is generally "u" shaped. When used by a user, the neck hanging assembly 30 is hung around the user's neck. The ear hanging assembly 20 is generally "n" shaped so as to be hung on the user's auricle when used by a user. The earphone core 10 is generally spindle shaped. When used by a user, the earphone core 10 is attached near the user's temple. The earphone core 10 is used to convert an electrical signal into mechanical vibration so that the user can hear sound.

[0022] In some embodiments, the neck hanging assembly 30 includes one movable part 31 and two fixed parts 32. One fixed part 32 is rotatably connected to each of both ends of the movable part 31. Each ear hanging assembly 20 is connected to one end of the fixed part 32 that is remote from the movable part 31. The movable part 31 is hung on the back of the neck of the user and other parts of the neck. The fixed part 32 can be installed on the front of the neck of the user. In this way, when the user is standing upright, the movable part 31 can be wrapped around the back of the neck, and when the user is lying down, the movable part 31 can be rotated relative to the fixed part 32 to wrap around other parts of the user (for example, the head). This reduces the feeling of pressure from the movable part 31 on the back of the neck, and improves the comfort of using the earphone 100.

[0023] In some embodiments, the fixed part 32 is substantially rectangular box-shaped. An opening 321 is provided at one end of the fixed part 32 that is connected to the movable part 31.

The rotating body 311 is inserted into the opening 321 and is rotatable within the opening 321. The rotating body 311 rotates relative to the opening 321 within a range of 0 to 90 degrees. In other embodiments of the present application, the opening 321 may be provided in the movable part 31, and the rotating body 311 may be provided in the fixed part 32.

[0024] As shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, in some embodiments, a rotating shaft 312 is formed to protrude from the center of the rotating body 311. The opening 321 is recessed corresponding to the rotating shaft 312 to form a rotating hole 322. The rotating shaft 312 is inserted into the rotating hole 322 and is rotatable relative to the rotating hole 322. In this way, the rotating body 311 is rotatable within the opening 321 and is unlikely to come off from the opening 321. It is understood that in other embodiments of the present application, the rotational engagement between the rotating body 311 and the opening 321 may be a coupling engagement, an engagement between a roller and a spiral groove, or the like.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 3, in some embodiments, a plurality of protrusions 313 are provided at intervals on the edge of the rotating body 311. The plurality of protrusions 313 are smoothly connected to each other. The fixed part 32 further includes a stopper 33 that partially enters the opening 321 and abuts against the protrusions 313. During the rotation of the rotating body 311, the stopper 33 abuts against one protrusion 313 or between two adjacent protrusions 313. Specifically, when the stopper 33 abuts against a certain protrusion 313, the abutment force of the stopper 33 against the protrusion 313 is large. When the stopper 33 abuts between two adjacent protrusions 313, the abutment force of the stopper 33 against the protrusion 313 is small. In this way, after the user rotates the movable part 31, the stopper 33 abuts against the movable part 31 to prevent the movable part 31 from rotating due to its own weight, and can perform a limiting effect on the movable part 31.

[0026] In some embodiments, the stopper 33 includes an elastic piece 331 and a fixed column 332. The elastic piece 331 is substantially "n" shaped and includes a first portion 331a and a second portion 331b connected to the first portion 331a. The first portion 331a and the second portion 331b are provided to form a substantially acute angle. The first portion 331a and the second portion 331b are provided to surround the accommodation space 331c. The fixed column 332 has one end fixed in the fixed portion 32 and the other end inserted into the accommodation space 331c to serve the purpose of limiting the elastic piece 331. The side of the elastic piece 331 away from the accommodation space 331c can abut against the protrusion 313. Here, the material of the elastic piece 331 is stainless steel or Teflon (registered trademark).

[0027] In some embodiments, the fixing portion 32 includes an accommodating groove 324 having a plurality of stopper pieces 325 protruding therearound. The first portion 331a and the second portion 331b may be engaged in the accommodating groove 324. The plurality of stopper pieces 325 are used to restrict the first portion 331a and the second portion 331b, thereby engaging the elastic piece 331 in the accommodating groove 324.

[0028] Referring to FIG. 2, in some embodiments, the earphone 100 further includes an electric control assembly 40 and a battery assembly 50. The electric control assembly 40 is accommodated in one fixed part 32, and the battery assembly 50 is accommodated in the other fixed part 32. A line tube 314 is provided in the movable part 31. The electric control assembly 40 and the battery assembly 50 are connected by a conductor drilled in the line tube 314. Specifically, each fixed part 32 includes a box 326 and a lid 328. The lid 328 is covered by the box 326 to form an accommodation space 329. Either the battery assembly 50 or the electric control assembly 40 is accommodated in the accommodation space 329. Here, the electric control assembly 40 specifically includes an audio amplification chip, a digital-to-analog conversion chip, a Bluetooth® module, a microphone, and a touch chip. After undergoing amplification and digital-to-analog conversion, the audio signal is transmitted to the earphone core 10 and converted into mechanical vibration, which acts directly on the skull to produce an auditory sensation for the user. The Bluetooth module is used to realize wireless connection transmission and control of the earphone 100. The microphone is used to pick up the audio signal. The battery assembly 50 specifically includes a lithium-ion battery chip, a battery management chip, a charging interface, and a power switch. The lithium-ion battery chip provides rechargeable electrical energy, and the power range is generally 80-120mAh. The battery management chip monitors the charging and discharging status of the battery and avoids overcharging and over-discharging. The charging interface allows the battery to be charged via USB, etc. The power switch controls the on / off of the system. These battery assemblies efficiently manage and supply power to the earphones, allowing the earphones to continue working for several hours and facilitating rapid charging. The bone conduction earphones of the present invention realize wireless and portable audio transfer function through a sophisticated battery solution.

[0029] In some embodiments, the earphone core 10 includes a housing 11 and an energy exchange device 12. Here, the housing 11 is connected to one end of the ear-hanging assembly 20 and is used to contact the user's skin. The housing 11 is formed with a receiving chamber 111. The energy exchange device 12 is installed in the receiving chamber 111 and connected to the housing 11. Here, the energy exchange device 12 is used to convert an electrical signal into mechanical vibration in an energized state so that the skin contact area of ​​the housing 11 can generate bone-conducted sound under the action of the energy exchange device 12. In this way, while the user is wearing the earphone 100, the energy exchange device 12 converts the electrical signal into vibration of the sound-producing part, so that the skin contact area generates mechanical vibration along with the sound-producing part. This mechanical vibration acts directly on the user's auditory nerve through the user's skeleton and tissue, and the user can further hear the bone-conducted sound through the earphone core 10. Specifically, the energy exchange device 12 is a vibration motor.
