[0024] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 6 together, the earphone adjustment structure 100 according to the embodiment of this application will be described to adjust the size of the ear-hanging earphone.

[0025] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3 together, the earphone adjustment structure 100 includes a rotating shaft 10, a sliding shaft sleeve 20, and a fixed shaft sleeve 30. The rotating shaft 10 has an axis line a. One end of the sliding shaft sleeve 20 along the axis line a is used to connect to the earhook 300 of the ear-hook type earphone. The sliding shaft sleeve 20 is fitted on the rotating shaft 10 and is rotatable relative to the rotating shaft 10 around the axis line a. The fixed shaft sleeve 30 is fitted on the sliding shaft sleeve 20 and is slidable relative to the rotating shaft 10 and the sliding shaft sleeve 20 along the axis line a and can be held at a predetermined position along the axis line a. The fixed shaft sleeve 30 can rotate synchronously with the sliding shaft sleeve 20 relative to the rotating shaft 10 around the axis line a. The fixed shaft sleeve 30 is used to connect to the earphone body 200 of the ear-hook type earphone.

[0026] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, along the axis line a means along the axial direction of the axis line a, that is, along the extending direction of the axis line a. Rotating along the axis line a means rotating around the axis line a.

[0027] Here, most of the rotating shaft 10 is accommodated in the sliding shaft sleeve 20 and the fixed shaft sleeve 30. One end of the rotating shaft 10 along the axis line a penetrates one end of the sliding shaft sleeve 20 and the fixed shaft sleeve 30 and is fixedly connected to one end of the earhook 300. Both the sliding shaft sleeve 20 and the fixed shaft sleeve 30 are provided coaxially with the rotating shaft 10, and the sliding shaft sleeve 20 is accommodated in the fixed shaft sleeve 30.

[0028] The sliding shaft sleeve 20 is rotatable relative to the rotating shaft 10 about the axis line a, but the sliding shaft sleeve 20 is non-slidable relative to the rotating shaft 10 along the axis line a. The fixed shaft sleeve 30 is slidable relative to the sliding shaft sleeve 20 and the rotating shaft 10 along the axis line a, but the fixed shaft sleeve 30 is non-rotatable relative to the sliding shaft sleeve 20. When the fixed shaft sleeve 30 slides along the axis line a relative to the rotating shaft 10 and the sliding shaft sleeve 20, the fixed shaft sleeve 30 synchronously slides the earphone body 200 along the axis line a, approaches or separates the earphone body 200 from the earhook 300 along the axis line a, adjusts the size of the whole earhook-type earphone, and adapts it to the ears of most users. When the fixed shaft sleeve 30 and the sliding shaft sleeve 20 rotate relative to the rotating shaft 10 around the axis line a, the fixed shaft sleeve 30 rotates the earphone body 200 relative to the earhook 300, and by adjusting the deflection angle of the earphone body 200 relative to the earhook 300 on the axis line a, the earphone body 200 can be well fitted to the user's ear when worn and used.

[0029] When the fixed shaft sleeve 30 can slide along the axis line a to a predetermined position, the fixed shaft sleeve 30 can be held at the predetermined position along the axis line a, position the position of the earphone body 200 on the axis line a, and avoid the earphone body 200 from swinging up and down relative to the earhook 300.

[0030] The earphone adjustment structure 100 according to the present application, compared with the prior art, connects one end of the rotating shaft 10 to the ear hook 300, thereby connecting the fixed shaft sleeve 30 to the earphone body 200. When the fixed shaft sleeve 30 slides relative to the sliding shaft sleeve 20 and the rotating shaft 10 along the axis line a, the fixed shaft sleeve 30 approaches or separates the earphone body 200 from the ear hook 300 along the axis line a, adjusting the overall size of the ear-hook type earphone. Since the sliding shaft sleeve 20 can be held at a predetermined position along the axis line a, the position of the earphone body 200 can be positioned. When the fixed shaft sleeve 30 and the sliding shaft sleeve 20 rotate relative to the rotating shaft 10 around the axis line a, the fixed shaft sleeve 30 rotates the earphone body 200 relative to the ear hook 300, adjusting the deflection angle of the earphone body 200 with respect to the ear hook 300 on the axis line a. The earphone adjustment structure 100 of the present application has a sliding and rotating adjustment function, and by making it possible to adjust the size of the ear-hook type earphone, when worn and used, the user can adjust the position of the earphone body 200 according to their own needs, and can better align the sound-emitting holes in the earphone body 200 with the user's ear canal. The earphone body 200 fits better in the user's ear, improving the user's experience, adapting to more users, and being advantageous for increasing the applicable objects of the ear-hook type earphone.

[0031] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, both ends of the rotating shaft 10 along the axis line a are the first connection end 11 and the second connection end 12 respectively. The first connection end 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the ear hook 300 by one end extending from the sliding shaft sleeve 20 and the fixed shaft sleeve 30. The sliding shaft sleeve 20 is provided with an opening close to the first connection end 11. Both ends of the fixed shaft sleeve 30 are provided with openings, and the side wall of the fixed shaft sleeve 30 along the axis line a is connected to the earphone body 200.

[0032] In an embodiment of the present application, the displacement that the fixed shaft sleeve 30 can slide relative to the sliding shaft sleeve 20 and the rotating shaft 10 along the axis line a is 0 mm to 2 mm.

[0033] By setting the displacement that the sliding shaft sleeve 20 and the rotating shaft 10 slide along the axis a of the fixed shaft sleeve 30 to be 0 mm to 2 mm, it is possible to adapt to the usage needs of most users.

[0034] In one embodiment of the present application, referring to FIGS. 3 and 5 together, the earphone adjustment structure 100 further includes a resistance ring 40 that is fitted on the outer wall of the sliding shaft sleeve 20 and abuts against the inner wall of the fixed shaft sleeve 30.

[0035] Specifically, the resistance ring 40 is fixedly fitted on the outer wall of the sliding shaft sleeve 20, is provided close to the first connection end 11, and is made unable to displace relative to the sliding shaft sleeve 20 along the axis a. The resistance ring 40 abuts against the inner wall of the fixed shaft sleeve 30, thereby making frictional contact with the inner wall of the fixed shaft sleeve 30. The resistance ring 40 is used to increase the sliding resistance of the fixed shaft sleeve 30.

[0036] Preferably, the material of the resistance ring 40 may be silicone rubber, rubber, etc., but is not limited thereto. By manufacturing the material of the resistance ring 40 with materials such as silicone rubber and rubber, the resistance ring 40 has good elasticity. In this way, it can effectively ensure that the resistance ring 40 stably abuts between the sliding shaft sleeve 20 and the fixed shaft sleeve 30, but does not generate a resistance that makes it difficult for the fixed shaft sleeve 30 to slide relative to the fixed shaft sleeve 30.

[0037] In the above technical solution, the resistance ring 40 is fitted on the outer wall of the sliding shaft sleeve 20 and abutted against the inner wall of the sliding shaft sleeve 20, so as to increase the resistance for the fixed shaft sleeve 30 to slide along the axis line a. Within a predetermined range, the fixed shaft sleeve 30 can stay at any position under the action of the resistance of the resistance ring 40, realizing the positioning of the position of the earphone body 200 on the axis line a, effectively preventing the earphone body 200 from loosening, and since the fixed shaft sleeve 30 can stay at any position under the action of the resistance of the resistance ring 40, the user can more accurately adjust the distance between the earphone body 200 and the ear hook 300 according to his own needs, that is, more accurately adjust the size of the ear-hook type earphone, so that the ear-hook type earphone can better meet the user's needs.

[0038] In one embodiment of the present application, the fixed shaft sleeve 30 is provided with an annular groove 21 provided around the axis line a, and the resistance ring 40 is locked in the annular groove 21.

[0039] Preferably, the annular groove 21 is provided close to the first connection end 11.

[0040] By locking the resistance ring 40 in the annular groove 21, the resistance ring 40 can be stably fitted on the fixed shaft sleeve 30, effectively preventing the resistance ring 40 from displacing relative to the sliding shaft sleeve 20 along the axis line a.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present application, referring to FIGS. 3 and 6 together, a guide groove 22 is provided on the side wall of the sliding shaft sleeve 20, a guide block 31 is provided on the inner wall of the fixed shaft sleeve 30, and the guide block 31 is slidably provided in the guide groove 22 along the axis line a.

[0042] Specifically, the guide block 31 extends along the axial center line a, protrudes from the inner wall surface of the fixed shaft sleeve 30, and is provided close to the first connection end 11. The guide groove 22 also extends along the axial center line a, and the guide groove 22 penetrates through an end portion close to the second connection end 12 of the sliding shaft sleeve 20. The guide block 31 is inserted into the guide groove 22 along the radial direction of the axial center line a. When the fixed shaft sleeve 30 slides along the axial center line a, the guide block 31 slides along the axial center line a within the guide groove 22. Also, the guide block 31 and the guide groove 22 are engaged along the circumferential direction of the axial center line a, and the guide block 31 cannot move within the guide groove 22 around the axial center line a.

[0043] By slidably providing the guide block 31 within the guide groove 22 along the axial center line a, when the fixed shaft sleeve 30 slides along the axial center line a, the guide block 31 slides within the guide groove 22 to guide the fixed shaft sleeve 30, which is advantageous for improving the sliding stability of the fixed shaft sleeve 30. At the same time, by engaging the guide block 31 and the guide groove 22 along the circumferential direction of the axial center line a, the guide block 31 cannot move within the guide groove 22 around the axial center line a, realizing the circumferential engagement between the fixed shaft sleeve 30 and the sliding shaft sleeve 20, making it impossible for the fixed shaft sleeve 30 and the sliding shaft sleeve 20 to rotate relative to each other. The fixed shaft sleeve 30 can only slide relative to the sliding shaft sleeve 20 along the axial center line a and cannot rotate relative to the sliding shaft sleeve 20 around the axial center line a. That is, when the fixed shaft sleeve 30 rotates, the sliding shaft sleeve 20 is rotated synchronously.

[0044] Of course, in other embodiments, the guide block 31 may be provided on the outer wall of the sliding shaft sleeve 20, the guide groove 22 may be provided on the inner wall of the fixed shaft sleeve 30, and the guide block 31 may be slidably provided within the guide groove 22 along the axial center line a.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present application, referring to both Figures 2 and 4, a position limiting groove 26 extending around the axis line a is provided on the inner wall of the sliding shaft sleeve 20, the position limiting groove 26 is provided close to the first connecting end 11 in the axial direction of the axis line a, the spacing between both opposing ends of the position limiting groove 26 is not connected in the circumferential direction of the axis line a, and a boss 16 to be inserted into the position limiting groove 26 is provided on the side wall of the rotating shaft 10, the boss 16 is provided close to the first connecting end 11, and the boss 16 fits into the position limiting groove 26 such that the boss 16 cannot be displaced along the axial direction of the axis line a relative to the position limiting groove 26.

[0046] Specifically, when the sliding shaft sleeve 20 rotates relative to the rotating shaft 10 around the axis line a, the boss 16 moves within the position limiting groove 26 around the axis line a, and since the gap between the opposing ends of the position limiting groove 26 is not connected, the opposing ends of the position limiting groove 26 limit the range of movement of the boss 16, limit the range of rotation of the sliding shaft sleeve 20, and further limit the deflection angle of the earphone body 200 relative to the ear hook 300.

[0047] Preferably, the position limiting groove 26 has an arc shape around the axis a, and the maximum angle at which the boss 16 moves within the position limiting groove 26 is 15°-20°, i.e., the maximum deflection angle of the earphone body 200 relative to the earhook 300 is 15°-20°. Preferably, the maximum deflection angle of the earphone body 200 relative to the earhook 300 is 15°, i.e., the earphone body 200 can be deflected 0°-15° relative to the earhook 300.

[0048] According to the above technical solution, the engagement between the boss 16 and the position limiting groove 26 can limit the rotation range of the sliding shaft sleeve 20 relative to the rotating shaft 10, and limit the deflection angle of the earphone body 200 relative to the ear hook 300; and the engagement between the rotating shaft 10 and the sliding shaft sleeve 20 along the axial line a can be realized, preventing the rotating shaft 10 and the sliding shaft sleeve 20 from sliding relative to each other along the axial line a, that is, when the rotating shaft 10 slides along the axial line a, the sliding shaft sleeve 20 slides synchronously.

[0049] For better understanding, in other embodiments, a position limiting groove 26 extending around the axis line a may be provided on the side wall of the rotating shaft 10, and in the circumferential direction of the axis line a, the distance between the opposite ends of the position limiting groove 26 is not communicated, and a boss 16 for being inserted into the position limiting groove 26 may be provided on the inner wall of the sliding shaft sleeve 20.

[0050] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 3, the earphone adjusting structure 100 further includes a stop plate 50, the stop plate 50 is connected to the rotating shaft 10, a first stepped surface 13 is formed on the rotating shaft 10, the first stepped surface 13 and the stop plate 50 are provided opposite to each other with a gap along the axis line a, and both ends of the sliding shaft sleeve 20 along the axis line a are respectively in contact with the first stepped surface 13 and the stop plate 50.

[0051] Specifically, the stop plate 50 is connected to the second connection end 12 of the rotating shaft 10, the first stepped surface 13 is provided close to the first connection end 11, the sliding shaft sleeve 20 is provided between the first stepped surface 13 and the stop plate 50 along the axis line a, one end of the sliding shaft sleeve 20 is in contact with the first stepped surface 13, and the other end of the sliding shaft sleeve 20 is in contact with the stop plate 50.

[0052] In the above technical solution, by making both ends of the sliding shaft sleeve 20 along the axis line a respectively in contact with the first stepped surface 13 and the stop plate 50, the sliding of the sliding shaft sleeve 20 along the axis line a relative to the rotating shaft 10 is restricted, and it is realized that the sliding shaft sleeve 20 can rotate relative to the rotating shaft 10 around the axis line a but cannot slide relative to the rotating shaft 10 along the axis line a.

[0053] In some embodiments, a first fixing hole 51 is provided on the stop plate 50, a second fixing hole 122 is provided on the second connection end 12, and the earphone adjusting structure 100 further includes a fastener 60 that connects the stop plate 50 to the second connection end 12 by passing through the first fixing hole 51 and the second fixing hole 122.

[0054] Preferably, the fastener 60 is a screw, a bolt, etc., and the first fixing hole 51 and / or the second fixing hole 122 are screw holes.

[0055] In addition, in other embodiments, the stop plate 50 may be connected to the second connection end 12 by means such as adhesion, engagement, fastening, etc.

[0056] In one embodiment of the present application, referring to FIGS. 3 and 5 together, the earphone adjustment structure 100 further includes a torsion spring 70 provided in the sliding shaft sleeve 20, fitted on the rotating shaft 10, and arranged to provide a restoring force to the sliding shaft sleeve 20.

[0057] Specifically, one end of the torsion spring 70 is connected to the rotating shaft 10, the other end of the torsion spring 70 is connected to the sliding shaft sleeve 20, and during wearing, the torsion spring 70 provides a restoring force to the sliding shaft sleeve 20, and the sliding shaft sleeve 20 has a tendency to return to its original position under the action of the restoring force. Further, the fixed shaft sleeve 30 and the earphone body 200 have a tendency to return to their original positions. In this way, the earphone body 200 can receive force during wearing and fit into the user's ear. Here, the magnitude of the restoring force may be determined based on experiments as long as it meets the requirements, does not compress the user's ear, and does not make it difficult for the user's ear to bear.
