[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application more clear, the technical solutions in this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0040] In traditional headphones, the ear hook components and the back hook components usually use a silicone shell, and memory titanium wire and wire are set inside the shell. During production, the memory titanium wire and wire need to be pasted together to keep them relatively fixed to prevent the memory titanium wire and wire from moving relative to each other and causing wear. The production process is complicated and the production efficiency is low. In addition, because the titanium wire is wrapped in the shell, it is not very friendly to different wearers and affects the wearing comfort.
[0041] In view of this, the present application provides an earphone wearing component, the shell of which is made of thermoplastic elastomer material, and no memory titanium wire is arranged inside the earphone wearing component, which not only saves the cost of memory titanium wire, but also eliminates the need to paste the memory titanium wire and the wire material, which helps to simplify the production process and improve production efficiency. It is also comfortable to wear and can maintain the flexibility and elasticity required for the earphone wearing component.
[0042] The following describes the headphone wearing piece, ear clip headphones, open headphones and bone conduction headphones provided in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0043] Referring to Figures 1, 2 and 3, the present application provides an earphone wearing component, including: a wire bundle and a shell, the wire bundle is configured to allow current to pass through; the shell is arranged on the periphery of the wire bundle, and the shell is made of a thermoplastic elastomer material.
[0044] The present application provides an earphone wearing component, the shell of which is made of thermoplastic elastomer material, so that the earphone wearing component has a certain flexibility and deformation recovery ability, so that the memory titanium wire inside the earphone wearing component can be eliminated, which not only saves the cost of memory titanium wire, simplifies the production process, and improves production efficiency, but also helps to improve wearing comfort.
[0045] Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) is an environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and safe material with high elasticity, strength, and resilience, along with a soft texture that enhances user comfort. The shell is constructed from TPE, which imparts a degree of flexibility, allowing users to adjust the shape of the shell to their needs, enhancing its usability. Even if deformed by external forces, it easily returns to its original shape, resisting damage and ensuring the shell's elastic deformation and recovery properties.
[0046] The present application provides an earphone wearing component, wherein the hardness of the thermoplastic elastomer used in the shell is 30A to 80A.
[0047] In one possible implementation, the housing is made of polyester thermoplastic elastomer. Thermoplastic polyester elastomer (TPEE), also known as polyester rubber, has excellent toughness, resilience, resistance to bending fatigue, tearing, friction, and chemical resistance. This gives the housing a certain degree of elastic deformation and support, improves user comfort, and eliminates the risk of corrosion from the user's sweat, ensuring a long service life.
[0048] In one possible implementation, the wire harness includes a core, with a sheath at least partially wrapped around the outer circumference of the core. This is because thermoplastic polyester elastomers have excellent electrical insulation properties, making it possible to omit an insulating layer around the outer circumference of the core, and instead wrap the sheath directly around the outer circumference of the core, thereby eliminating the cost of the insulating layer.
[0049] In another possible implementation, the wire harness includes a wire core and an insulating layer surrounding the core, with the outer shell at least partially surrounding the outer shell. The insulating layer provides protection and insulation, thereby increasing the lifespan of the earphone. The outer shell and insulating layer provide dual protection and insulation for the wire core, preventing leakage caused by outer shell damage and improving safety.
[0050] In one possible implementation, the wire core may be a copper wire, an aluminum wire, etc., and the wire core may be one strand or multiple strands, which is not specifically limited here.
[0051] In one possible implementation, the housing has a wire hole through which the wire bundle is passed; or the housing is molded and wrapped around at least a portion of the wire bundle. The housing can be injection molded and wrapped around at least a portion of the wire bundle to improve the tightness of the connection between the housing and the wire bundle.
[0052] In one possible implementation, the present application provides an earphone wearing component, further comprising at least one connector, which is disposed at at least one end of the housing, and has a wire hole formed therein, through which the wire bundle extends to the outside of the connector.
[0053] In a possible implementation, the connector and the housing are integrally formed as a single piece.
[0054] In one possible implementation, the earphone wearing piece further includes a sound-generating component and a battery, and the sound-generating component and the battery are electrically connected via the wire harness.
[0055] The sound-generating component includes a speaker and a microphone, and the speaker includes a bone conduction speaker and / or an air conduction speaker. The speaker can include only a bone conduction speaker, only an air conduction speaker, or both a bone conduction speaker and an air conduction speaker to enhance the sound transmission effect of the earphone.
[0056] When in use, the air conduction speaker is located in the user's ear canal, and the air conduction speaker transmits sound through air conduction; the bone conduction speaker is located outside the ear, and the bone conduction speaker generates mechanical vibrations and transmits sound through bone conduction.
[0057] The battery is used for power supply, and the power transmission between the speakers, microphones and other components is realized through the wiring harness.
[0058] In one possible implementation, the earphone assembly further includes a sound-generating component and a control board, the sound-generating component and the control board being electrically connected via the wiring harness. The control board can control the sound-generating component on and off, and the wiring harness enables signal transmission between components such as the speaker, microphone, and control board, thereby enhancing intelligent use.
[0059] In a possible implementation, the control board may be a flexible printed circuit (FPC) or a printed circuit board (PCB).
[0060] In one possible implementation, one end of the wire harness is electrically connected to a first plug, and the control board is provided with a first socket that plugs into the first plug. This connection structure allows for simple and efficient assembly by simply plugging the first plug into the first socket, facilitating easy connection and disconnection of the wire harness and control board without the need for manual soldering.
[0061] The structures of the first plug and the first socket are not specifically limited here, as long as they can be electrically connected by plugging.
[0062] In one possible implementation, one end of the wire harness is electrically connected to a second socket, and the control board is provided with a second plug, which is plugged into the second socket. During assembly, the second plug can be directly plugged into the second socket, which is simple and efficient, facilitating assembly and connection of the wire harness and control board without manual soldering.
[0063] The structures of the second plug and the second socket are not specifically limited here, as long as they can be electrically connected by plugging.
[0064] In other possible implementations, the control board and the wire harness may be electrically connected by direct welding, which provides good connection stability.
[0065] Regarding the headphone wearing component provided in this application, the following two embodiments are listed for illustration.
[0066] Example 1
[0067] In the first embodiment, the ear hook assembly 60 includes the above-mentioned earphone wearing component.
[0068] In the earhook assembly 60 , the wire bundle includes a first wire bundle 10 , the housing includes an earhook shell 20 , at least a portion of the earhook shell 20 is disposed on the periphery of the first wire bundle 10 , and the earhook shell 20 is made of thermoplastic elastomer material.
[0069] Since the ear hook shell 20 is made of thermoplastic elastomer and / or polyester thermoplastic elastomer, the ear hook shell 20 has a certain flexibility and deformation recovery ability. Therefore, compared with the existing ear hook component 60, the memory titanium wire can be eliminated, which not only saves the cost of the memory titanium wire, simplifies the production process, and improves production efficiency, but also helps to improve wearing comfort.
[0070] The ear hook shell 20 is made of thermoplastic elastomer material and has a certain flexibility, which makes it easy for users to adjust the shape of the ear hook shell 20 according to their own needs, thereby improving the flexibility of using the ear hook shell 20. Even if it is deformed by external force, it can be easily restored to its original shape and is not easy to be damaged, thus meeting the elastic deformation and recovery performance of the ear hook shell 20.
[0071] In the first embodiment, the hardness of the thermoplastic elastomer used in the ear hook shell 20 is 30A to 80A. For example, the hardness of the thermoplastic elastomer used in the ear hook shell 20 is 30A, 40A, 50A, 60A, 70A, or 80A, so that the ear hook shell 20 has good flexibility, is soft and comfortable to use, and also has sufficient supporting strength.
[0072] In one possible implementation, the ear hook housing 20 is made of polyester thermoplastic elastomer material. Furthermore, when the ear hook assembly 60 accidentally falls to the ground, it can also provide a good cushioning and protection effect, preventing damage and ensuring the service life.
[0073] Thermoplastic Polyester Elastomer (TPEE) can meet the elastic deformation ability and supporting performance of the ear hook shell 20, improve the comfort of use, and there is no need to worry about the user's sweat corroding the ear hook shell 20, thereby ensuring the service life.
[0074] In one possible implementation, the first wire harness 10 includes a first wire core 11, with at least a portion of the earhook housing 20 wrapped around the outer periphery of the first wire core 11. This is because thermoplastic polyester elastomer has excellent electrical insulation properties, so the insulating layer surrounding the first wire core 11 can be omitted. Instead, the earhook housing 20 can be directly wrapped around the outer periphery of the first wire core 11, thereby eliminating the cost of the insulating layer.
[0075] In another possible implementation, as shown in FIG4 , the first wire harness 10 includes a first wire core 11 and a first insulating layer 12 wrapped around the first wire core 11. At least a portion of the earhook housing 20 is wrapped around the outer periphery of the first insulating layer 12. The first insulating layer 12 provides protection and insulation, thereby increasing the service life of the earhook assembly 60.
[0076] In the first embodiment, since in the first wire bundle 10, the first insulating layer 12 is wrapped around the outside of the first wire core 11, and at least part of the ear hook shell 20 is wrapped around the outer periphery of the first insulating layer 12, the ear hook shell 20 and the first insulating layer 12 provide double protection and insulation for the first wire core 11, which is beneficial to prevent leakage problems caused by damage to the ear hook shell 20 and improve safety of use.
[0077] In one possible implementation, referring to Figures 4, 5 and 6, the ear hook shell 20 includes a connecting compartment 21, a first accommodating compartment 22 and a second accommodating compartment 23. The first accommodating compartment 22 and the second accommodating compartment 23 are respectively connected to the two ends of the connecting compartment 21. In this embodiment, the wire threading hole is a first wire threading hole, and the first wire threading hole is located in the connecting compartment 21. The first wire bundle 10 is passed through the first wire threading hole, which is convenient for production and assembly and enables the connecting compartment 21 to well protect the first wire bundle 10.
[0078] When the first wire harness 10 includes the first insulating layer 12, there can be one first wire threading hole. When the first wire harness 10 does not include the first insulating layer 12, there can be two first wire threading holes spaced apart to avoid short circuit caused by contact between the two first wire cores 11, thereby improving safety in use.
[0079] The first storage compartment 22 is connected to the first end of the connection compartment 21, and the second storage compartment 23 is connected to the second end of the connection compartment 21. The first end and the second end of the connection compartment 21 are respectively the two ends of the connection compartment 21. The first storage compartment 22 can be used to accommodate batteries or a main control board, and the second storage compartment 23 can be used to accommodate a transceiver assembly. The main control board and the transceiver assembly are electrically connected via a first wiring harness 10, and the battery and the transceiver assembly are also electrically connected via the first wiring harness 10.
[0080] In one possible implementation, the transceiver assembly includes a speaker and a microphone, both electrically connected to the main control board. The speaker is used to play sound, and the microphone is used to record sound. A battery is used to power the transceiver assembly and can be connected to an external power source via a power supply interface.
[0081] The shape of the first storage compartment 22 can be a cube or a cylinder, etc., which is not specifically limited here. The first storage compartment 22 can meet the needs of accommodating batteries or main control boards. Similarly, the shape of the second storage compartment 23 can be a cylinder or a cube, etc., which is not specifically limited here, as long as it can accommodate the transceiver components.
[0082] In a possible implementation, the cross-sectional shape of the connecting chamber 21 may be circular, rectangular, elliptical, etc., which is not specifically limited here.
[0083] As shown in Figures 5 and 6 , the connection compartment 21 is constructed in an elongated, roughly C-shaped configuration. This allows the two ends of the connection compartment 21 to bend or fold to one side after crossing the ear, wrapping around the outside of the ear for wear. The earhook housing 20 utilizes the inherent hardness of the thermoplastic elastomer material to automatically clamp and secure the ear helix, providing elastically adjustable grip for optimal comfort, making it suitable for a variety of users.
[0084] In one possible implementation, the connecting chamber 21, the first accommodating chamber 22 and the second accommodating chamber 23 can be an integrally formed integral part, which is beneficial to improving the waterproofness and aesthetics of the ear hook shell 20, and is easy to produce and assemble.
[0085] In one possible implementation, the earhook housing 20 can be first injection molded. A first threading hole is defined within the connection compartment 21 of the earhook housing 20. The first wire harness 10 is then threaded through the first threading hole. In this example, a gap exists between the first wire harness 10 and the inner wall of the first threading hole. This structure allows for easy repair and disassembly if the first wire harness 10 or the earhook housing 20 becomes damaged, requiring only the damaged parts to be replaced, eliminating the need for complete replacement.
[0086] In another possible implementation, the first wire bundle 10 is placed in the inner mold of the molded earhook shell 20, and the earhook shell 20 can be injection molded on the outside of the first wire bundle 10, wherein the earhook shell 20 can be directly connected to the outside of the first wire bundle 10, and there can be no gap between the first wire bundle 10 and the earhook shell 20, which can prevent the first wire bundle 10 and the earhook shell 20 from causing wear and other problems due to mutual friction.
[0087] In the earhook assembly 60, the connector is a first plug connector 211, and the wire hole is a first wire hole. The first plug connector 211 is provided at at least one end of the earhook housing 20, and this first plug connector 211 can improve the fixation of the first wire bundle 10. The first wire hole is provided in the first plug connector 211 to facilitate the passage of the first wire bundle 10. The first wire hole can have a circular, rectangular, or U-shaped cross-section.
[0088] In a possible implementation, a first plug connector 211 is provided at the connection position between the connecting compartment 21 and the first accommodating compartment 22 , and a first plug connector 211 is provided at the connection position between the connecting compartment 21 and the second accommodating compartment 23 .
[0089] In one possible implementation, the first plug connector 211 can be an integral structure formed by integrally molding with the ear hook shell 20. In this example, the first plug connector 211 and the ear hook shell 20 are made of the same material and have the same hardness, and no further assembly operation is required, which is conducive to improving production efficiency.
[0090] In another possible implementation, the first plug connector 211 may be pre-formed and then assembled into the ear hook shell 20. In this example, the materials of the first plug connector 211 and the ear hook shell 20 may be different.
[0091] Example 2
[0092] In the second embodiment, the rear hanging component 70 includes an earphone wearing component.
[0093] In the rear mount assembly 70 , the wire harness includes the second wire harness 30 , the housing includes the coating 40 , the wire harness includes the second wire harness 30 , the coating 40 is disposed on the periphery of the second wire harness 30 , and the coating 40 is made of a thermoplastic elastomer material.
[0094] The covering layer 40 is made of a thermoplastic elastomer material and has a certain degree of flexibility, making it easy for the user to adjust the shape of the rear hanging component 70 according to their own needs, thereby improving the flexibility of the use of the rear hanging component 70. Even if it is deformed by external force, it can be easily restored to its original shape and is not easily damaged, thus meeting the elastic deformation and recovery performance of the rear hanging component 70.
[0095] In addition, since the covering layer 40 of the rear hanging component 70 is made of thermoplastic elastomer material, it can meet the strength and flexibility requirements. There is no need to set memory titanium wire inside the rear hanging component 70, which is beneficial to saving the cost of memory titanium wire. During production and assembly, there is no need to take the memory titanium wire and stick it to the second wire bundle 30, which simplifies the production process and improves production efficiency.
[0096] In this embodiment, the hardness of the thermoplastic elastomer used in the coating layer 40 is 30A to 80A. For example, the hardness of the thermoplastic elastomer used in the coating layer 40 is 30A, 40A, 50A, 60A, 70A or 80A, so that the coating layer 40 has good flexibility and sufficient supporting strength.
[0097] As shown in Reference 6 and Figure 7, the covering layer 40 is constructed into a slender structure, and the covering layer 40 can be bent into an arc shape. The rear hanging component 70 can be worn on the neck or head. The length of the rear hanging component 70 can be flexibly selected according to the needs of use, so that the covering layer 40 can be easily passed around the back of the neck during use.
[0098] In a possible implementation, the cross-sectional shape of the coating layer 40 may be circular, rectangular, elliptical, etc., which is not specifically limited here.
[0099] In one possible implementation, the covering layer 40 is made of a polyester thermoplastic elastomer material, which can meet the elastic deformation and support performance requirements of the rear suspension component 70, improve user comfort, and eliminate the concern that the user's sweat may corrode the covering layer 40, thereby ensuring a long service life.
[0100] In one possible implementation, as shown in Figures 7 and 8 , the second wire harness 30 includes a second core 31, with at least a portion of a coating 40 wrapped around the outer periphery of the second core 31. This is because thermoplastic polyester elastomer has excellent electrical insulation properties, so the insulating layer surrounding the second core 31 can be omitted. Instead, the coating 40 can be directly wrapped around the outer periphery of the second core 31, thereby eliminating the cost of the insulating layer.
[0101] The second wire core 31 includes but is not limited to copper wire, aluminum wire, etc. The second wire core 31 can be one strand or multiple strands, which is not specifically limited here.
[0102] In one possible implementation, as shown in FIG9 , the second wire harness 30 includes a second core 31 and a second insulating layer 32 wrapped around the second core 31. At least a portion of the coating 40 wraps around the outer periphery of the second insulating layer 32. The second insulating layer 32 protects the second core 31. Even if the coating 40 is damaged, the second insulating layer 32 can still ensure good insulation, preventing leakage in the second wire harness 30 and improving the insulation protection effect.
[0103] In a possible implementation, the wire threading hole in this embodiment is a second wire threading hole, the second wire threading hole is located in the covering layer 40, and the second wire bundle 30 is passed through the second wire threading hole.
[0104] When the second wire harness 30 includes the second insulating layer 32 , there can be one second wire threading hole. When the second wire harness 30 does not include the second insulating layer 32 , there can be two second wire threading holes spaced apart to prevent the two second wire cores 31 from contacting each other and causing a short circuit.
[0105] In one possible implementation, the covering layer 40 may be first injection molded, with a second threading hole defined therein. The second wire harness 30 is then threaded through the second threading hole. In this example, a gap exists between the second wire harness 30 and the inner wall of the second threading hole. This structure facilitates threading one end of the second wire harness 30 through the second threading hole and extending it outward. Furthermore, if the second wire harness 30 or the covering layer 40 is damaged, only the damaged part can be replaced, eliminating the need for replacing the entire assembly, making repair and disassembly easier.
[0106] In another possible implementation, the second wire harness 30 is placed in an inner mold of the molded covering layer 40, and the covering layer 40 can be injection molded on the outside of the second wire harness 30, wherein the covering layer 40 can be directly connected to the outside of the second wire harness 30, and there can be no gap between the second wire harness 30 and the covering layer 40, which can prevent the second wire harness 30 and the covering layer 40 from rubbing against each other and causing wear and other problems.
[0107] In one possible implementation, as shown in Figures 6, 7, and 8, in the rear mount assembly 70, the connector may be a second plug connector 50. The second plug connector 50 is provided at at least one end of the covering 40, and the wire hole is a second wire hole. A second wire hole 51 is defined within the second plug connector 50, and a portion of the second wire harness 30 extends through the second wire hole 51 to the exterior of the covering 40.
[0108] In one possible implementation, the second wire hole 51 passes through one end of the second plug connector 50 and the other end of the second wire hole 51.
