[0022] A headset is a pair of transducing units that convert electrical signals from a media player or receiver into sound waves that can be heard through earpieces.

[0023] In the related art, the conventional earphone usually adopts a single speaker to play a useful signal through the speaker, and the useful signal can be transmitted to the human ear to realize the listening of the human ear. However, in some noisy scenes, the external environmental noise signal may also be transmitted to the human ear, and the environmental noise signal will interfere with the useful signal, which will affect the listening clarity of the human ear, and even cause the user to hear the useful signal unclearly, which seriously affects the auditory experience.

[0024] To solve the above problems, please refer to FIG. 1, the present application provides an earphone 100, wherein the type of the earphone 100 can be open type, in-ear type and head-mounted type and the like. It can be known that when the type of the earphone 100 is open type, the user has no obvious sense of isolation from the outside world when using the open type earphone, has the advantages of natural and open listening feeling, and sound penetration, and when the type of the earphone 100 is in-ear type, it has the advantages of isolating external noise and focusing sound quality. And when the type of the earphone 100 is head-mounted type, it is more stable to wear.

[0025] In the following, the present application is described as the type of the earphone 100 being open type.

[0026] The open type earphone 100 can be an air conduction type earphone or a bone conduction type earphone. Among them, the air conduction type earphone is built-in speaker unit, and the sound cavity is provided with apertures for directional conduction of sound. The bone conduction type earphone 100 is built-in oscillator, which can convert sound signals into vibration and then conduct through the skeleton. It can be understood that the open type earphone 100 should at least have a wearing state, which is a state that the open type earphone 100 cooperates with the ear of the user to be relatively fixed, in which state the user can obtain a relatively ideal listening effect.

[0027] Please refer to FIGS. 1 to 3, the earphone 100 can include a shell 10, a sound generating assembly 20 and a gas guiding structure.

[0028] The shell 10 is used to carry and protect the sound production assembly 20. In order to ensure the hardness of the shell 10, the shell 10 can be made of plastic material or metal material to meet the ability of various drop, distortion and sitting pressure tests without being damaged. It should be noted that the material of the shell 10 is not limited to a certain kind, and the commonly used shell 10 materials in the art can be applied to the embodiments of the present application, which will not be listed one by one here. The front side of the shell 10 is also provided with a sound outlet hole 1111. When the earphone 100 (for example, an open earphone) is worn on the ear of the user, the sound outlet hole 1111 is arranged towards the ear canal of the ear, so that in the actual working process, the sound of the sound production assembly 20 can be conducted to the ear of the user through the sound outlet hole 1111. Specifically, the number of sound outlet holes 1111 can be two, three or more, which is not limited in the present application.

[0029] The sound production assembly 20 includes a first loudspeaker unit 20A and a second loudspeaker unit 20B. Optionally, the first loudspeaker unit 20A and the second loudspeaker unit 20B are a combination of any two of air-conduction moving coil loudspeakers, moving iron loudspeakers, piezoelectric loudspeakers, and electromagnetic loudspeakers. Among them, the combination of the first loudspeaker unit 20A and the second loudspeaker unit 20B includes but is not limited to air-conduction moving coil loudspeakers and air-conduction moving coil loudspeakers, air-conduction moving coil high-frequency loudspeakers and air-conduction moving coil low-frequency loudspeakers, air-conduction moving coil loudspeakers and moving iron loudspeakers, air-conduction moving coil loudspeakers and MEMS loudspeakers, air-conduction moving coil loudspeakers and piezoelectric loudspeakers, air-conduction moving coil loudspeakers and electromagnetic loudspeakers, etc., so as to realize different required high-frequency, medium-frequency or low-frequency sound output proportion selection corresponding combinations to achieve different sound output effects.

[0030] The first mounting cavity 10A and the second mounting cavity 10B are arranged in the shell 10 and are isolated from each other. The first speaker unit 20A divides the first mounting cavity 10A into a first front cavity 10a and a first rear cavity 10b. The first front cavity 10a is in communication with the sound hole 1111. The second speaker unit 20B divides the second mounting cavity 10B into a second front cavity 10c and a second rear cavity 10d. The first speaker unit 20A and the second speaker unit 20B are used to convert an accepted electrical signal into audible sound waves. The periphery of the first speaker unit 20A and the second speaker unit 20B is sealingly connected to the inner wall of the shell 10 to define the front cavity and the rear cavity for the corresponding mounting cavity. It can be understood that the aforementioned "sealingly connected" means that the two components are connected and the connection position between the two components is sealed. Specifically, the edge of the first speaker unit 20A and the edge of the second speaker unit 20B are respectively connected to the inner wall of the shell 10, and the connection position between the edge of the first speaker unit 20A and the edge of the second speaker unit 20B and the inner wall of the shell 10 is sealed. That is, the first front cavity 10a and the first rear cavity 10b cannot be in communication through the connection position between the edge of the first speaker unit 20A and the inner wall of the shell 10, and the second front cavity 10c and the second rear cavity 10d cannot be in communication through the connection position between the edge of the second speaker unit 20B and the inner wall of the shell 10. Specifically, the connection mode of the edge of the first speaker unit 20A and the edge of the second speaker unit 20B to the inner wall of the shell 10 includes but is not limited to gluing, clamping, screwing, welding, etc. It can be understood that the first speaker unit 20A and the second speaker unit 20B can adopt the structure of the existing pneumatic speaker, which includes a magnetic circuit system 22 and a vibration system 21. The main control board is electrically connected to the magnetic circuit system 22 of the speaker unit to control the vibration of the diaphragm 211 by controlling the magnetic circuit system 22, thereby making sound from the sound hole 1111. It can be understood that the vibration system 21 can include a diaphragm 211 and a voice coil. In actual working process, the diaphragm 211 drives the air to vibrate, so that the air can conduct sound through the sound hole 1111. The magnetic circuit system 22 can include a magnetic bowl, a magnet and a horn. The magnet and the horn are connected and are installed on the magnetic bowl. The magnetic circuit system 22 can provide the magnetic field required by the voice coil. The principle of the magnetic circuit system 22 and the vibration system 21 has been disclosed in the related art, and will not be described here.

[0031] Referring to FIGS. 2-4, in some structural forms, in order to ensure the low-frequency performance of the earphone 100, the shell 10 is provided with at least two air release holes 10C, one air release hole 10C is in communication with the first rear cavity 10b and the outside, and the other air release hole 10C is in communication with the second rear cavity 10d and the outside, wherein the two air release holes 10C can be respectively arranged on opposite sides of the shell 10, or the two air release holes 10C are arranged on the same side of the shell 10. At the same time, the shortest distance from the axis of the first speaker unit 20A and the second speaker unit 20B to the outer surface of the air release hole 10C is between 0 and 200 mm, so as to avoid that the shortest distance from the axis of the first speaker unit 20A and the second speaker unit 20B to the outer surface of the air release hole 10C is too large, so as to ensure the air release efficiency.

[0032] Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, in some structural forms, the front side of the shell 10 is also provided with a pickup hole 10D, the pickup hole 10D is in communication with the first front cavity 10a, and the earphone 100 further comprises a pickup microphone 30, the pickup microphone 30 is arranged in the shell 10 and is arranged corresponding to the pickup hole 10D, and the pickup microphone 30 is used to pick up external environmental noise. It can be understood that the pickup microphone 30 is arranged in the shell 10 and arranged corresponding to the pickup hole 10D, so that the external environmental noise can be picked up through the pickup hole 10D. The noise signal is transmitted to the first speaker unit 20A in reverse through the circuit, and the reverse noise signal output by the first speaker unit 20A is offset with the noise signal directly entering the user's ear, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing noise. Of course, in order to improve the noise reduction effect, a plurality of pickup microphones 30 and a plurality of pickup holes 10D can be used in cooperation to improve the effect of picking up noise.

[0033] It should be noted that the first mounting cavity 10A and the second mounting cavity 10B, and the first speaker unit 20A and the second speaker unit 20B are described in the embodiments, and of course in other embodiments, a third mounting cavity or more mounting cavities can be arranged in the shell 10, and a third speaker unit is arranged corresponding to the third mounting cavity to separate the third mounting cavity into a third front cavity and a third rear cavity. At the same time, the air guide channel 11A simultaneously communicates the third front cavity of the third mounting cavity with the outside, so that the front cavities of each mounting cavity are in communication with the outside.

[0034] Referring to FIGS. 2-4, the air guide structure is arranged in the shell 10, and the air guide channel 11A of the air guide structure communicates the second front cavity 10c with the outside. It should be noted that the air guide structure can be a part of the shell 10, or an external pipeline piece can be detachably connected to the shell 10 and in communication with the second front cavity 10c.

[0035] Therefore, the sound quality effect of a wider sound range can be obtained in the audible sound range, the level and detail performance of the sound quality are better, and the original sound can be better reproduced, so as to improve the overall performance of the earphone 100. In addition, the first front cavity 10a is in communication with the outside through the sound hole 1111, and the second front cavity 10c is in communication with the outside through the air guide channel 11A, so as to ensure that the air volume in the first front cavity 10a and the second front cavity 10c is sufficient, so as to improve the mass of the vibrating air during the operation of the earphone 100, thereby increasing the sound pressure of the earphone 100, and improving the listening clarity of the user and the auditory experience of the user.

[0036] Referring to FIG. 3, in an embodiment, the air guide channel 11A includes a main body 11d, a first air guide hole 11a in communication with the main body 11d, and a second air guide hole 11b. The first air guide hole 11a is in communication with the second front cavity 10c. The second air guide hole 11b is in communication with the first front cavity 10a. In this way, the air outside the shell 10 can enter the first front cavity 10a through the sound hole 1111, and then enter the main body 11d through the second air guide hole 11b, so as to be transmitted into the second front cavity 10c through the first air guide hole 11a, so that the air guide channel 11A is not directly in communication with the outside of the shell 10, and the probability of the air guide channel 11A being blocked is reduced.

[0037] Optionally, the first air guide hole 11a is arranged along the circumference of the second front cavity 10c, so as to increase the communication area between the second front cavity 10c and the air guide channel 11A, and improve the flow efficiency of air vibration between the second front cavity 10c and the air guide channel 11A. This design optimizes the air flow path and reduces unnecessary air resistance that may cause sound distortion or mixing. Thus, the strength and clarity of the sound are further enhanced.

[0038] Optionally, the second air guide hole 11b is arranged along the circumference of the first front cavity 10a. In this way, the communication area between the first front cavity 10a and the air guide channel 11A is increased, so as to improve the flow efficiency of air vibration between the first front cavity 10a and the air guide channel 11A. This design optimizes the air flow path, so as to further enhance the strength and clarity of the sound.

[0039] Referring to FIG. 4, in another embodiment, the air guide channel 11A comprises a main body 11d, a first air guide hole 11a in communication with the main body 11d and a third air guide hole 11c. The first air guide hole 11a is in communication with the second front cavity 10c. The third air guide hole 11c is in communication with the outside. In this way, the air outside the housing 10 enters the first front cavity 10a through the sound outlet hole 1111, and then enters the main body 11d of the air guide channel 11A through the third air guide hole 11c, and is then transmitted into the second front cavity 10c through the first air guide hole 11a. In this way, the first front cavity 10a and the second front cavity 10c are not in communication with each other, so that the air in the first front cavity 10a is not affected by the air guide channel 11A. This separation design can further optimize the sound vibration effect and provide more flexible adjustment options for different sound environments.

[0040] Optionally, the third air guide hole 11c and the sound outlet hole 1111 are opened on the same surface of the housing 10, that is, the third air guide hole 11c is also arranged towards the ear canal opening, so that the risk of the third air guide hole 11c being blocked when the earphone 100 is worn is relatively small, so as to stabilize the stability of the air communication in the air guide channel 11A. Further, the third air guide hole 11c can be provided with two, three or more, and the third air guide holes 11c are oriented in different directions to adapt to the orientation of different ear canal openings.

[0041] Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, in yet another embodiment, the air guide channel 11A comprises a main body 11d, a first air guide hole 11a in communication with the main body 11d, a second air guide hole 11b and a third air guide hole 11c. The first air guide hole 11a is in communication with the second front cavity 10c. The second air guide hole 11b is in communication with the first front cavity 10a. The third air guide hole 11c is in communication with the outside. In this way, the air guide channel 11A simultaneously communicates with the outside, the first front cavity 10a and the second front cavity 10c, so as to realize multiple ways of air communication in the air guide channel 11A and the outside, so as to ensure the stability of the air flow in the air guide channel 11A and reduce unnecessary air resistance that may cause sound distortion or mixing. Thus, the strength and clarity of the sound can be further enhanced.

[0042] Optionally, the main body 11d is arranged around the outer periphery of the first mounting cavity 10A and the outer periphery of the second mounting cavity 10B. In this way, the volume of the main body 11d of the air guide channel 11A is further increased, the volume of the air pushed during operation is further increased, the overall vibrating air mass is larger, and the sound pressure of the earphone 100 can be further increased, so that the strength and clarity of the sound can be enhanced.

[0043] Referring to FIGS. 3-6, in some structural forms, the first mounting cavity 10A and the second mounting cavity 10B are arranged in a stacked manner along the axial extension direction of the sound outlet hole 1111, and the vibration directions of the first speaker unit 20A and the second speaker unit 20B are the same as the axial direction of the sound outlet hole 1111. This means that their vibration sound waves will work together and superimpose on each other, thereby producing a more powerful and consistent sound effect. Of course, in other embodiments, the first mounting cavity 10A and the second mounting cavity 10B can also be arranged side by side along the radial direction of the sound outlet hole 1111, so that the two speaker units are arranged side by side along the radial direction of the sound outlet hole 1111. In this way, the internal structure of the shell 10 can be arranged compactly and efficiently. This design not only helps to reduce the overall thickness of the earphone 100, improving the portability of the device, but also makes the earphone 100 more lightweight and comfortable, suitable for long-term wear.

[0044] Further, the second front cavity 10c and the first rear cavity 10b are arranged adjacent to each other. It can be understood that the first speaker unit 20A and the second speaker unit 20B each include a spider 23 supporting a magnetic circuit system 22 and a vibration system 21. The side of the diaphragm 211 of the vibration system 21 opposite to the spider 23 is the front cavity, and the side of the spider 23 opposite to the diaphragm 211 is the rear cavity. That is, the diaphragms 211 of the two speaker units are arranged in the same direction, which means that their sound waves will work together and superimpose on each other, thereby producing a more powerful and consistent sound effect. This design of same-direction vibration helps to improve the consistency of the sound, making the sound of different frequencies more coordinated, and the user can obtain a more balanced and natural listening experience. Referring to FIG. 7, in still another embodiment, the first rear cavity 10b and the second rear cavity 10d are arranged adjacent to each other. That is, the diaphragms 211 of the two speaker units are arranged in opposite directions, which can offset the vibration-induced shock of the two speaker units, thereby improving the comfort of the user when wearing.

[0045] In some structural forms, the axes of the first speaker unit 20A and the second speaker unit 20B are arranged at an angle, and the angle is greater than or equal to 0° and less than or equal to 45°. It can be understood that the angle between the axes of the first speaker unit 20A and the second speaker unit 20B can be 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, etc. In this way, by limiting the angle between the axes of the first speaker unit 20A and the second speaker unit 20B, the angle between the axes of the two speaker units is prevented from being too large, so as to ensure the superposition strength of the vibration directions of the two speaker units and improve the sound effect of the earphone 100.

[0046] Optionally, the distance between the axes of the first speaker unit 20A and the second speaker unit 20B is between 0mm and 200mm. When the distance between the axes of the first speaker unit 20A and the second speaker unit 20B is 0mm, the first speaker unit 20A and the second speaker unit 20B are coaxially arranged. When the distance between the axes of the first speaker unit 20A and the second speaker unit 20B can be 50mm, 100mm or 200mm, etc., the axes of the first speaker unit 20A and the second speaker unit 20B are arranged in parallel. By limiting the distance between the axes of the first speaker unit 20A and the second speaker unit 20B, the vibration direction of the first speaker unit 20A and the second speaker unit 20B is ensured to have a strong superposition, and the sound effect of the earphone 100 is improved. Further, when the angle between the axes of the first speaker unit 20A and the second speaker unit 20B is 0° and the distance between the axes of the first speaker unit 20A and the second speaker unit 20B is 0mm, i.e., the axes of the first speaker unit 20A and the second speaker unit 20B are coaxially arranged, the axes are concentric, which means that the vibration direction of the first speaker unit 20A and the second speaker unit 20B is completely the same, and the phase is also the same, so as to further improve the superposition of the vibration direction of the first speaker unit 20A and the second speaker unit 20B, and improve the sound effect of the earphone 100.

[0047] With reference to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, optionally, the shell 10 can include a first casing 11, a second casing 12 and a third casing 13, wherein the first casing 11 forms a first mounting cavity 10A and a second mounting cavity 10B therein, and the first casing 11 is provided with a sound outlet hole 1111. One end of the second casing 12 is connected to the first casing 11 and is used to hang between the upper side of the ear and the head of the user in the wearing state. The other end of the second casing 12 is connected to the third casing 13, and the third casing 13 is used to be attached between the rear side of the ear and the head of the user in the wearing state. The second casing 12 and the third casing 13 are both arc-shaped curved and form a shape of a hook. The second casing 12 and the third casing 13 at least contact the front and rear sides of the ear of the user to achieve clamping and fixing with the ear of the user, so that the first casing 11 connected to one end of the second casing 12 can be stably arranged on the front side of the ear. It can be understood that the second casing 12 and the third casing 13 have a certain elasticity, so that the user can bend the second casing 12 and the third casing 13 to cooperate the first casing 11 with the ear.
