[0042] In order to better explain the present application, so as to be understood, the present application is described in detail below by means of specific embodiments in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0043] As shown in Fig. 1, the ear of a user can include an antihelix, a contralateral antihelix, a concha, a contralateral tragus, a lobe, an external auditory canal, a tragus, and a contralateral heliconcha, etc. Among them, further, the concha, the heliconcha, the contralateral antihelix, etc. have a certain volume and depth.

[0044] As shown in Fig. 2, the present application provides an earphone, which includes a sound-emitting part 1, a main control unit 3, an ear clip 4, and a connecting arm 2. The sound-emitting part 1 is used to provide sound to a user. The main control unit 3 is electrically connected with the sound-emitting part 1. The ear clip 4 is arranged on the main control unit 3, and provides a clamping force to be clamped on the lateral part of the ear and / or the lower part of the ear. One end of the connecting arm 2 is connected with the main control unit 3 and / or the ear clip 4. The other end of the connecting arm 2 is connected with the sound-emitting part 1. The connecting arm 2 extends along the lower edge of the antihelix and is bent upward so that the sound-emitting part 1 is attached to the face or the ear.

[0045] Since the ear clip 4 on the earphone can provide a clamping force to be clamped on the lateral part of the ear and / or the lower part of the ear, i.e. away from the upper part of the ear, and at the same time, the connecting arm 2 extends along the lower edge of the antihelix and is bent upward so that the sound-emitting part 1 is attached to the face or the ear, the overlapping and compression problems of the earphone and other devices when worn on the upper ear contour are solved, and the comfort of simultaneous wearing and using with other devices is improved. The present application provides a brand-new earphone structure, and compared with the existing earphone, a reverse wearing mode is provided, which is more personalized and fashionable, and conforms to the trend.

[0046] The sound generating part 1 can be a bone conduction speaker, a traditional air conduction speaker or other types of in-ear speakers. When the sound generating part 1 is an air conduction speaker or other types of in-ear speakers, the air conduction speaker or other types of in-ear speakers are connected to the outer ear canal of the user through the connecting arm 2 from the lower edge of the helix, through the front or back of the earlobe, and then bent upwards to stick to the user's face. In this embodiment, the sound generating part 1 is preferably a bone conduction speaker, which is connected to the user's face through the connecting arm 2 from the lower edge of the helix, through the front or back of the earlobe, and then bent upwards to stick to the user's face. Thus, the bone conduction speaker does not interfere with the ear canal and does not cause damage to the ear after long-term use. The bone conduction speaker is preferably attached to the user's face with the outer edge close to the tragus to achieve better bone conduction effect.

[0047] The bone conduction speaker transmits sound to the hearing system through the bones, thereby producing hearing. Generally, the bone conduction speaker generates and transmits sound through the following steps: step 1, the bone conduction speaker obtains or generates a signal containing sound information, such as an electric current signal and / or a voltage signal carrying audio information; step 2, a driving device in the bone conduction speaker generates vibration according to the signal; and step 3, the vibration is transmitted to the shell of the speaker through a transmission assembly.

[0048] Specifically, in step 1, the bone conduction speaker can obtain or generate a signal containing sound information in different ways. The sound information can refer to a video or audio file with a specific data format, or it can refer to data or files that can ultimately be converted into sound through a specific channel in the general sense. The signal containing sound information can come from the storage unit of the bone conduction speaker itself, or from an information generation, storage or transmission system other than the bone conduction speaker. The sound signal discussed here is not limited to an electrical signal, but can also include other forms such as optical signals, magnetic signals, mechanical signals, etc. In principle, as long as the signal contains sound information that the speaker can use to generate vibration, it can be processed as a sound signal. The sound signal can come from multiple signal sources. These multiple signal sources can be related or independent of each other. The sound signal transmission or generation method can be wired or wireless, real-time or delayed. For example, the bone conduction speaker can receive an electrical signal containing sound information through a wired or wireless connection, or it can directly obtain data from a storage medium to generate a sound signal. In some embodiments, a component with sound collection function can be added to the bone conduction hearing aid to achieve noise reduction by picking up environmental background sound and processing the sound signal received.

[0049] In the embodiment, the sound production part 1 is arranged separately from the main control unit 3, and the main control unit 3 is provided with a battery, a circuit board and other control elements. The battery and the speaker in the sound production part 1 can be relatively large, meeting the requirements of longer battery life and high-quality sound.

[0050] The term "sound quality" used herein can be understood as the quality of sound that can reflect the fidelity of audio after processing, transmission and the like. The sound quality is mainly described by three elements of loudness, tone and timbre. The loudness is the subjective feeling of the human ear to the strength of sound, which is proportional to the logarithmic value of the sound intensity. The greater the sound intensity, the louder it feels. Moreover, it is related to the frequency and waveform of the sound. The tone, also known as the pitch, is the subjective feeling of the human ear to the frequency of sound vibration. The tone mainly depends on the fundamental frequency of the sound. The higher the fundamental frequency, the higher the tone, and it is also related to the intensity of the sound. The timbre is the subjective feeling of the human ear to the characteristics of the sound. The timbre mainly depends on the frequency spectrum structure of the sound, and is also related to the loudness, duration, establishment process and decay process of the sound. The frequency spectrum structure of the sound is described by the fundamental frequency, the number of harmonic frequencies, the distribution of harmonic frequencies, the amplitude and the phase relationship. Different frequency spectrum structures have different timbres. Even if the fundamental frequency and the loudness are the same, the timbre is not the same if the harmonic structure is different.

[0051] In the present application, the earphone body is clamped on the side of the ear and / or the lower part of the ear by the ear clip 4 to be away from the upper part of the ear, i.e., to avoid the position of the upper edge of the helix, so as to solve the overlapping and compression problem of the earphone and other devices when worn on the upper helix contour, and improve the comfort of simultaneous wearing and use with other devices. The side of the ear can be the side of the helix, the helix pit, the position opposite to the helix and the position opposite to the antitragus, and the lower part of the ear can be the position of the earlobe. In the present application, the ear clip 4 can be clamped on the side of the ear and / or the lower part of the ear, and all existing positions that can be clamped on the ear except the position above the helix are acceptable as long as the earphone can be avoided from falling off. Whether the ear clip 4 is clamped on the side of the ear or the lower part of the ear or both depends on the shape of the ear clip 4.

[0052] As shown in FIGS. 10-16, the ear clip 4 includes a first clamping part 41 and a second clamping part 42 arranged oppositely to cooperate to provide a clamping force. The first ends of the first clamping part 41 and the second clamping part 42 are connected to the main control unit 3, and the second ends of the first clamping part 41 and the second clamping part 42 are oppositely arranged and cooperate to provide a mutual clamping force to be clamped on the side of the ear and / or the lower part of the ear.

The connection between the first clamping part 41 and the second clamping part 42 and the main control unit 3 can be clamping, hot pressing, riveting, bonding, or injection molding, etc.

[0054] The first clamping part 41 and the second clamping part 42 each include at least one clamping piece 4a, and the clamping pieces 4a in the first clamping part 41 and the second clamping part 42 each protrude outward in a direction away from the antihelix to form a receiving space between the clamping pieces 4a of the first clamping part 41 and the second clamping part 42 for receiving the outer edge of the antihelix. It should be noted that the number of clamping pieces 4a in the first clamping part 41 and the second clamping part 42 can be the same or different. When the number of clamping pieces 4a in the first clamping part 41 and the second clamping part 42 is different, the clamping pieces 4a in the first clamping part 41 and the second clamping part 42 are staggered to increase the stability of clamping.

[0055] When the number of clamping pieces 4a in the first clamping part 41 and the second clamping part 42 is the same, the clamping pieces 4a in the first clamping part 41 and the second clamping part 42 are arranged one by one, and each pair of corresponding clamping pieces 4a in the first clamping part 41 and the second clamping part 42 can be referred to as a pair of clamping pieces 4a. To achieve clamping balance, the spacing between each pair of clamping pieces 4a can be changed, and multiple pairs of clamping pieces 4a can be provided, such as two pairs of clamping pieces 4a as shown in FIGS. 10-15, or three pairs of clamping pieces 4a as shown in FIG. 16. Of course, one pair or four pairs or more clamping pieces 4a can be provided according to actual conditions.

It should be noted that when the extension distance of the clamping pieces 4a is relatively short, the ear clip 4 is clamped on the side of the ear or the lower part of the ear, and when the extension distance of the clamping pieces 4a is relatively long, the ear clip 4 can be clamped on the side of the ear and the lower part of the ear at the same time.

[0057] Preferably, the clamping pieces 4a are made of elastic material, and the ear clip 4 can be clamped on the side of the ear and / or the lower part of the ear by the elastic opening angle of the ear clip 4.

[0058] As shown in Fig. 3, each pair of the clamping members 4a can form an open circular arc structure, a U-shaped structure, and a V-shaped structure, and preferably a circular arc structure. When each pair of the clamping members 4a is connected to the main control unit 3 to form an open circular ring structure, in order to make the clamping more stable, the open angle of the clamping members 4a in the first clamping part 41 and the second clamping part 42 is F, and 20° < F < 50°. When each pair of the clamping members 4a corresponds to a non-circular ring structure, the spacing of the open clamping members 4a in the first clamping part 41 and the second clamping part 42 is 2-5 mm.

[0059] As shown in Fig. 4, in order to further ensure the stability of the clamping members 4a clamping the ear side and / or the lower part of the ear, the vertical distance H between the uppermost clamping member 4a and the lowermost clamping member 4a is 15-35 mm, wherein the vertical distance specifically refers to the distance between the horizontal line of the midpoint of the line of the uppermost clamping member 4a and the lowermost clamping member 4a, and in the actual application process, the vertical distance between the adjacent two pairs of clamping members 4a can be equal or unequal as long as it can ensure the stability of the clamping members 4a clamping the ear side and / or the lower part of the ear.

[0060] Of course, the clamping members 4a can also be made of hard plastic, and the first ends of the clamping members 4a of the first clamping part 41 and the second clamping part 42 are respectively hinged to the opposite two end faces of the main control unit 3, and the second ends of the first clamping part 41 and the second clamping part 42 are oppositely arranged to clamp the ear side and / or the lower part of the ear.

Wherein, the vertex of the upper edge of the main control unit 3 and the bottom point of the lower edge of the main control unit 3 refer to the two points of the farthest distance on the axial direction of the main control unit 3.
