[0024] 1 to 6, an earphone adjustment structure 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described for adjusting the size of an ear-hook type earphone.
[0025] 1 to 3, 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 axial line a, one end of the sliding shaft sleeve 20 along the axial line a is used to connect to the ear hook 300 of the earhook-type earphone, the sliding shaft sleeve 20 is fitted onto the rotating shaft 10 and can rotate relative to the rotating shaft 10 around the axial line a, the fixed shaft sleeve 30 is fitted onto the sliding shaft sleeve 20 and can slide relative to the rotating shaft 10 and the sliding shaft sleeve 20 along the axial line a and can be held in a predetermined position along the axial line a, the fixed shaft sleeve 30 can rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft 10 around the axial line a together with the sliding shaft sleeve 20, and the fixed shaft sleeve 30 is used to connect to the earphone body 20 of the earhook-type earphone.
[0026] In the examples of the present application, "along the axis line a" means along the axial direction of the axis line a, i.e., along the extension direction of the axis line a, and "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, and one end of the rotating shaft 10 along the axial line a is fixedly connected to one end of the ear hook 300 by passing through one end of the sliding shaft sleeve 20 and the fixed shaft sleeve 30, and both the sliding shaft sleeve 20 and the fixed shaft sleeve 30 are arranged 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 about the axis a relative to the rotating shaft 10, but is unable to slide along the axis a relative to the rotating shaft 10. The fixed shaft sleeve 30 is slidable along the axis a relative to the sliding shaft sleeve 20 and the rotating shaft 10, but is unable to rotate relative to the sliding shaft sleeve 20, and when the fixed shaft sleeve 30 slides along the axis a relative to the rotating shaft 10 and the sliding shaft sleeve 20, the fixed shaft sleeve 30 slides the earphone body 200 synchronously along the axis a, causing the earphone body 200 to move closer to or away from the ear hook 300 along the axis line a, thereby adjusting the overall dimensions of the earhook-type earphone to fit 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 a, the fixed shaft sleeve 30 rotates the earphone main body 200 relative to the ear hook 300, and by adjusting the deflection angle of the axis a of the earphone main body 200 relative to the ear hook 300, the earphone main body 200 can fit well in the user's ear when worn and used.
[0029] When the fixed shaft sleeve 30 can slide to a predetermined position along the axis line a, the fixed shaft sleeve 30 can be held in a predetermined position along the axis line a, determining the position of the earphone main body 200 on the axis line a and preventing the earphone main body 200 from swinging up and down relative to the ear hook 300.
[0030] Compared to the prior art, the earphone adjustment structure 100 of the present application connects one end of the rotating shaft 10 to the earhook 300, thereby connecting the fixed shaft sleeve 30 to the earphone main 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 moves the earphone main body 200 toward or away from the earhook 300 along the axis line a, thereby adjusting the dimensions of the entire earhook-type earphone; because the sliding shaft sleeve 20 can be held in a predetermined position along the axis line a, the position of the earphone main body 200 can be determined; and 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 main body 200 relative to the earhook 300, thereby adjusting the deflection angle of the earphone main body 200 relative to the earhook 300 on the axis line a. The earphone adjustment structure 100 of the present application has sliding and rotating adjustment functions, and allows the size of the hook-and-ear earphone to be adjusted. This allows the user to adjust the position of the earphone main body 200 according to their own needs when wearing and using it, and the sound emission hole in the earphone main body 200 can be better aligned with the user's ear canal, allowing the earphone main body 200 to fit the user's ear better, improving the user's usage experience and adapting to more users, which is beneficial for increasing the application range of the earphone.
[0031] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the rotating shaft 10 has two ends along its axial line a, which are a first connecting end 11 and a second connecting end 12, and the first connecting 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 open adjacent to the first connecting end 11, both ends of the fixed shaft sleeve 30 are open, and the side walls of the fixed shaft sleeve 30 along its axial line a are connected to the earphone body 200.
[0032] In one embodiment of the present application, the displacement by which the fixed shaft sleeve 30 can slide along the axis a relative to the sliding shaft sleeve 20 and the rotating shaft 10 is 0 mm to 2 mm.
[0033] By setting the sliding displacement of the fixed shaft sleeve 30 along the axis a of the fixed shaft sleeve 30 relative to the sliding shaft sleeve 20 and the rotating shaft 10 to 0 mm to 2 mm, it is possible to meet the usage needs of most users.
[0034] In one embodiment of the present application, referring to FIGS. 3 and 5 , the earphone adjustment structure 100 further includes a resistance ring 40 fitted on the outer wall of the sliding shaft sleeve 20 and abutting against the inner wall of the fixed shaft sleeve 30.
[0035] Specifically, the resistance ring 40 is fixedly fitted onto the outer wall of the sliding shaft sleeve 20 and is located close to the first connecting end 11, preventing it from being displaced relative to the sliding shaft sleeve 20 along the axial line 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, and 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, but is not limited to, silicone rubber, rubber, etc. The material of the resistance ring 40 is made of silicone rubber, rubber, etc., so that the resistance ring 40 has good elasticity, and thus can effectively ensure that the resistance ring 40 is stably abutted between the sliding shaft sleeve 20 and the fixed shaft sleeve 30, but does not generate resistance that makes it difficult for the fixed shaft sleeve 30 to slide against the fixed shaft sleeve 30.
[0037] In the above technical solution, the resistance ring 40 is fitted onto the outer wall of the sliding shaft sleeve 20 and abuts against the inner wall of the sliding shaft sleeve 20, thereby increasing the resistance of the fixed shaft sleeve 30 sliding along the axial line a. Within a certain range, the fixed shaft sleeve 30 can remain at any position due to the resistance of the resistance ring 40, thereby realizing the positioning of the earphone body 200 on the axial line a and effectively preventing the earphone body 200 from loosening. Furthermore, because the fixed shaft sleeve 30 can remain at any position due to 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 their own needs, i.e., the size of the earphone can be more accurately adjusted, and the earphone can better meet the needs of users.
[0038] In one embodiment of the present application, the fixed shaft sleeve 30 is provided with an annular groove 21 formed around the axis a, and the resistance ring 40 is engaged in the annular groove 21 .
[0039] Preferably, the annular groove 21 is provided close to the first connecting end 11 .
[0040] By engaging the resistance ring 40 in the annular groove 21, the resistance ring 40 can be stably fitted into the fixed shaft sleeve 30, effectively preventing the resistance ring 40 from displacing relative to the sliding shaft sleeve 20 along the axial line a.
[0041] In one embodiment of the present application, referring to Figures 3 and 6 together, a guide groove 22 is provided on the side wall of the sliding shaft sleeve 20, and 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 axial line a.
[0042] Specifically, the guide block 31 extends along the axial line a, protrudes from the inner wall surface of the fixed shaft sleeve 30, and is located close to the first connecting end 11; the guide groove 22 also extends along the axial line a, and penetrates the end of the sliding shaft sleeve 20 close to the second connecting end 12; the guide block 31 is inserted into the guide groove 22 along the radial direction of the axial line a; when the fixed shaft sleeve 30 slides along the axial line a, the guide block 31 slides within the guide groove 22 along the axial line a; and the guide block 31 and the guide groove 22 engage along the circumferential direction of the axial line a, so that the guide block 31 cannot move in the guide groove 22 around the axial line a.
[0043] The guide block 31 is slidably mounted in the guide groove 22 along the axis a. When the fixed shaft sleeve 30 slides along the axis a, the guide block 31 slides in the guide groove 22 to guide the fixed shaft sleeve 30, which is advantageous to improving the sliding stability of the fixed shaft sleeve 30. At the same time, the guide block 31 and the guide groove 22 are engaged in the circumferential direction of the axis a, which prevents the guide block 31 from moving in the guide groove 22 around the axis a. This ensures that the fixed shaft sleeve 30 and the sliding shaft sleeve 20 are engaged in the circumferential direction of the axis a, preventing relative rotation between the fixed shaft sleeve 30 and the sliding shaft sleeve 20. The fixed shaft sleeve 30 can only slide relative to the sliding shaft sleeve 20 along the axis a, but cannot rotate relative to the sliding shaft sleeve 20 around the axis a. That is, when the fixed shaft sleeve 30 rotates, the sliding shaft sleeve 20 rotates synchronously.
[0044] Of course, in other embodiments, a guide block 31 may be provided on the outer wall of the sliding shaft sleeve 20, a 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 in the guide groove 22 along the axial line a.
[0045] In one embodiment of the present application, referring to FIGS. 2 and 4 together, 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 opposing ends of the position limiting groove 26 are not connected to each other 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 so 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 a, the boss 16 moves within the position limiting groove 26 around the axis 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 that the boss 16 can move 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 limits the rotation range of the sliding shaft sleeve 20 relative to the rotating shaft 10, and limits the deflection angle of the earphone body 200 relative to the ear hook 300. Furthermore, the rotating shaft 10 and the sliding shaft sleeve 20 are engaged along the axial line a, 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] As can be understood, in other embodiments, a position limiting groove 26 extending around the axis a is provided on the side wall of the rotating shaft 10, and the distance between the opposing ends of the position limiting groove 26 in the circumferential direction of the axis a is not connected, and a boss 16 for insertion 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 adjustment structure 100 further includes a stop plate 50, which is connected to the rotating shaft 10, and which has a first step surface 13 formed on the rotating shaft 10. The first step surface 13 and the stop plate 50 are arranged opposite each other along the axis a with a gap therebetween, and both ends of the sliding shaft sleeve 20 along the axis a abut against the first step surface 13 and the stop plate 50, respectively.
[0051] Specifically, the stop plate 50 is connected to the second connecting end 12 of the rotating shaft 10, the first step surface 13 is provided close to the first connecting end 11, the sliding shaft sleeve 20 is provided along the axial line a between the first step surface 13 and the stop plate 50, one end of the sliding shaft sleeve 20 abuts against the first step surface 13, and the other end of the sliding shaft sleeve 20 abuts against the stop plate 50.
[0052] In the above technical solution, by abutting both ends of the sliding shaft sleeve 20 along the axial line a against the first step surface 13 and the stop plate 50, respectively, the sliding of the sliding shaft sleeve 20 relative to the rotating shaft 10 along the axial line a is restricted, and the sliding shaft sleeve 20 can rotate relative to the rotating shaft 10 around the axial line a but cannot slide relative to the rotating shaft 10 along the axial line a.
[0053] In some embodiments, the stop plate 50 is provided with a first fixing hole 51, the second connecting end 12 is provided with a second fixing hole 122, and the earphone adjustment structure 100 further includes a fastener 60 that passes through the first fixing hole 51 and the second fixing hole 122 to connect the stop plate 50 to the second connecting end 12.
[0054] Preferably, the fasteners 60 are screws, bolts, etc., and the first fixing holes 51 and / or the second fixing holes 122 are threaded holes.
[0055] In other embodiments, the stop plate 50 may be connected to the second connecting end 12 by adhesive, engagement, fastening, or other methods.
[0056] In one embodiment of the present application, referring to both FIG. 3 and FIG. 5 , the earphone adjustment structure 100 further includes a torsion spring 70 disposed within the sliding shaft sleeve 20, fitted onto 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, and the other end of the torsion spring 70 is connected to the sliding shaft sleeve 20. When worn, the torsion spring 70 provides a restoring force to the sliding shaft sleeve 20, causing the sliding shaft sleeve 20 to tend to return to its original position due to the action of the restoring force, and further causing the fixed shaft sleeve 30 and the earphone main body 200 to tend to return to their original positions, so that the earphone main body 200 receives force when worn and can fit into the user's ear. Here, the magnitude of the restoring force may be determined experimentally so as to meet the needs but not to compress the user's ear or cause discomfort to the user's ear.
[0058] In one embodiment of the present application, a rectangular locking portion 121 is provided at the second connecting end 12, a rectangular hole 71 is formed in the torsion spring 70, the torsion spring 70 is fitted into the rectangular locking portion 121 through the rectangular hole 71, a locking groove 23 is provided in the side wall of the sliding shaft sleeve 20, the torsion spring 70 has a locking leg 72, and the locking leg 72 abuts within the locking groove 23.
[0059] Preferably, when the rectangular locking portion 121 fits into the rectangular hole 71 and the torsion spring 70 is fitted into the rectangular locking portion 121 through the rectangular hole 71, i.e., when the rectangular locking portion 121 is drilled into the rectangular hole 71, the torsion spring 70 and the rotating shaft 10 are fixed in the circumferential direction, and the torsion spring 70 cannot rotate around the axial line a relative to the rectangular locking portion 121. The outer wall of the sliding shaft sleeve 20 is provided with a locking groove 23, which communicates with the through hole 24. The locking legs 72 extend through the through hole 24 into the locking groove 23 and abut against the side wall of the locking groove 23, thereby realizing circumferential fixation of the torsion spring 70 and the sliding shaft sleeve 20. When the sliding shaft sleeve 20 rotates around the axial line a, the torque of the torsion spring 70 is increased, providing a return force for the return of the sliding shaft sleeve 20.
[0060] Specifically, the torsion spring 70 has multiple operating states. When the rotating shaft 10 and the sliding shaft sleeve 20 are positioned in their initial positions relative to each other, the torsion spring 70 is in a pre-compressed state and provides an initial torsional force as a restoring force. When the rotating shaft 10 and the sliding shaft sleeve 20 are subjected to an external force and rotate relative to each other, the torsion state of the torsion spring 70 increases and the torsional force provided increases. In this case, the earphone body 200 can be adaptively fitted to the user's ear due to the action of the torsional force.
