This application pertains to the technical field of headphones, in particular to an earmuff and head-mounted headphones.
With the development of science and technology, head-mounted headphones are increasingly widely used, and users' requirements for head-mounted headphones are also increasing.
In view of the above problems, the present disclosure proposes an earmuff and head-mounted headphones to overcome or at least partially solve the above problems.
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, an earmuff is provided, which comprises earmuff leather and earmuff sponge. The earmuff further comprises an earmuff airbag made of a soft rubber material, and the earmuff airbag comprises at least one hollow enclosed airbag. The earmuff sponge is wrapped on an outer surface of the earmuff airbag, and the earmuff leather is wrapped on an outer surface of the earmuff sponge.
Optionally, the earmuff airbag comprises a multi-segment enclosed airbag or a single segment enclosed airbag;
Optionally, the earmuff airbag is formed through split assembly;
Optionally, when the earmuff airbag is the single segment enclosed airbag or the multi-segment enclosed airbag in which the segments are communicated with each other, the earmuff airbag is formed through integral assembly;
Optionally, the earmuff further comprises an airbag base, which is disposed at a bottom of the earmuff airbag to enhance a support force of the bottom of the earmuff airbag.
Optionally, when the earmuff airbag is formed through integral assembly, multiple reinforcing ribs are provided on an inner wall of the earmuff airbag to enhance support force of an inner wall of the earmuff airbag;
Optionally, the multiple reinforcing ribs are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the earmuff airbag, the multiple reinforcing rib engaging notches are evenly distributed on the airbag base, and the multiple reinforcing ribs and the multiple reinforcing rib engaging notches are matched in quantity and position.

In the description of the present disclosure, it should be noted that unless otherwise expressly specified and defined, the terms “installed”, “connected” and “fixed” should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it may be fixedly connected, or removably connected, or integrally connected; it may also be mechanically connected or electrically connected; it may also be directly connected or indirectly connected through a middleware; it may also be internally communicated or interacted between two components. For a person of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meaning of these terms in the present disclosure should be understood according to specific situations.
The soft rubber material refers to a soft material having a certain degree of ductility and flexibility, including but not limited to, silicone, rubber, soft polyvinyl chloride (PVC), ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), polyolefin thermoplastic elastomer (POE), thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), polypropylene (PP), etc.
When external noise enters the interior of earmuff, it needs to pass through the earmuff leather 3 and earmuff sponge 2, and then enter the earmuff airbag 1. As the earmuff airbag 1 is a hollow enclosed airbag, the noise needs to pass through the earmuff airbag 1, earmuff sponge 2, and earmuff leather 3 so as to enter the interior of earmuff and thus enter the human ear. Compared with the conventional earmuff in which external noise only passes through two media, i.e., the earmuff leather 3′ and earmuff sponge 2′, the earmuff according to the present disclosure increases the conducting media of noise by adding the earmuff airbag 1. Thus, the noise will be continuously reduced after passing through different media, thereby enhancing the passive noise reduction ability of the earmuff, and improving the user experience. Moreover, the earmuff airbag 1 comprises at least one hollow enclosed airbag, which provides stronger support for the earmuff than the sponge material and can replace the conventional sponge support for the earmuff.
In sum, the earmuff according to the present disclosure has better noise reduction and support effect by adding the hollow enclosed earmuff airbag 1.
The earmuff airbag 1 of the present disclosure may be a single segment enclosed airbag. In the single segment enclosed airbag, there is not an airbag partition, or there is at least one airbag partition.
As shown in
As shown in
It should be noted that
The earmuff airbag 1 of the present disclosure may be a multi-segment enclosed airbag. The segments of the multi-segment enclosed airbag are communicated with each other or independent of each other.
As shown in
In this embodiment, the entire annular earmuff airbag is divided into several independent small airbags by the airbag spacings 1-4. When a small airbag leaks, other intact small airbags can still provide a support force for the entire earmuff airbag, thereby extending the service life of the earmuff.
Preferably, no matter whether the segments of the multi-segment enclosed airbag are communicated with each other or independent of each other, they are filled with a sponge at each airbag spacing 1-4. The sponge for filling may be integrally manufactured with the earmuff sponge 2 wrapped outside the earmuff airbag and then filled. Alternatively, it may be independently filled in the space of the airbag spacing 1-4. The support force between adjacent small airbags can be enhanced by filling sponges at the airbag spacings 1-4.
In this embodiment, the earmuff airbag may have various wall thicknesses 1-1 to meet different needs of users. For example, a thinner wall thickness can increase the space between the earmuff and the user's ear, and thus enhances sound quality; a thicker wall thickness can enhance the support force of the earmuff, and thus make the earmuff less prone to deformation and more durable.
It should be noted that the above is only examples of the multi-segment enclosed airbag, not a limitation of the present disclosure. The multi-stage enclosed airbags can have any number of segmented airbags in various forms.
When the earmuff airbag is the single segment enclosed airbag or the multi-segment enclosed airbag in which the segments are communicated with each other, the earmuff airbag 1 of the present disclosure may be formed through integral assembly.
As shown in
Preferably, as shown in
Preferably, the multiple reinforcing ribs 1-7 are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the earmuff airbag 1, the multiple reinforcing rib engaging notches 4-1 are evenly distributed on the airbag base 4, and the multiple reinforcing ribs 1-7 and the multiple reinforcing rib engaging notches 4-1 are matched in quantity and position, so as to balance the support forces of the inner wall and bottom of the earmuff airbag 1.
The earmuff airbag 1 of the present disclosure may also be formed through split assembly.
As shown in
It should be noted that, when the same support force and appropriate comfort can be obtained, the width of root part and the cross-sectional area of the cross-section of the earmuff sponge 2′ in the conventional earmuff are larger than those of the earmuff according to the present disclosure. Therefore, compared with the earmuff according to the present disclosure, the front sound cavity between the ear and the sound generating unit in the conventional earmuff is small and the sound quality is poor.
Referring to
This embodiment discloses head-mounted headphones that use the earmuff described in the first to sixth embodiments. Compared with conventional head-mounted headphones, by using the earmuff, the head-mounted headphones according to the present disclosure enhances the passive noise reduction ability of headphones, improves the sound quality and stability, and improves the user experience.
In sum, the earmuff according to the present disclosure increases the conducting media of noise by adding the earmuff airbag. The noise will be continuously reduced after passing through different media, thereby enhancing the passive noise reduction ability of the earmuff, and improving the user experience. The earmuff airbag comprises at least one hollow enclosed airbag, which provides a more stable support force for the earmuff. Moreover, compared with the conventional earmuff, the earmuff according to the present disclosure can contract smaller at the root part of the earmuff, and can increase the space between the sound generating unit of the headphones and the ear without significant changes in the external contour size, thereby enhancing the sound quality.
The above merely describes particular embodiments of the present disclosure. By the teaching of the present disclosure, a person skilled in the art can make other modifications or variations based on the above embodiments. A person skilled in the art should appreciate that, the detailed description above is only for the purpose of explaining the present disclosure, and the protection scope of the present disclosure should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
