The present disclosure provides an earphone 100, as shown in
In some embodiments, as shown in
Optionally, as shown in
In the related technology, since the speaker 11 is usually a bone conduction speaker, the size of the speaker 11 is relatively large, and the speaker 11 needs to be installed in the housing assembly 10, and connected with a wire. If the ear hook assembly 12 is first inserted and connected to the housing assembly 10, and then sealed by dispensing using glue, in order to prevent the glue from touching the speaker 11, the speaker 11 needs to be moved before dispensing the glue. After dispensing the glue, it is necessary to reorganize the wire connected to the speaker 11, so the production and assembly efficiency of this approach is low. Compared to the related technology, in the present disclosure, by providing the connecting portion 108, forming the socket 102 (which includes the first channel 103 and the second channel 104) in the connecting portion 108, and providing the plug portion 126 for inserting into the socket 102 on the ear hook assembly 12, thereby achieving an easier connection between the ear hook assembly 12 and the housing assembly 10, reducing the impact on the speaker 11 that was previously installed within the housing assembly 10, and thus improving production and assembly efficiency. More specifically, by providing the second abutment surface 122 and the annular surface 123 on the plug portion 126, glue may be applied first to the second abutment surface 122 and the annular surface 123. The plug portion 126 is then inserted into the socket 102, allowing the glue to bond between the second abutment surface 122 and the first abutment surface 105, thereby adhesively connecting the ear hook assembly 12 with the housing assembly 10. Additionally, an annular gap may be formed between the first abutment surface 105, the second abutment surface 122, and the annular surface 123. Once the glue within the annular gap cures, it can serve as an annular seal, thereby enhancing the stability and sealing of the connection between the ear hook assembly 12 and the housing assembly 10, effectively sealing a gap between the plug portion 126 and the connecting portion 108, significantly reducing the likelihood of moisture entering an interior of the earphone 100 through the gap between the plug portion 126 and the connecting portion 108, reducing the chances of a circuitry and other functional components inside the earphone 100 becoming damp, and contributing to an extended service life of the earphone 100. Furthermore, compared to other connection techniques, the plug-in connection enhances connection stability while avoiding the need to add extra matching structures on external surfaces of the ear hook assembly 12 and the housing assembly 10, thereby improving the aesthetic appeal of the earphone 100. Moreover, the connection made by inserting the plug portion 126 into the socket 102 effectively reduces assembly complexity, thereby improving assembly efficiency.
Optionally, as shown in
In some embodiments, the flexible member 13 is a sealant. When dispensing the sealant, it might initially be in a fluid form and may cure over time. Without the gap between the first abutment surface 105, the second abutment surface 122, and the annular surface 123, and if the sealant needs to be applied between the plug portion 126 and the connecting portion 108, the process may involve dispensing the sealant first and then inserting and installing the first connecting end 121 of the ear hook assembly 12. During the insertion and installation of the first connecting end 121, the plug portion 126 may push the sealant into the first accommodating cavity 101, affecting the normal operation of the earphone 100. By setting the first abutment surface 105, the second abutment surface 122, and the annular surface 123 to form the gap, the sealant may be accommodated in the gap, thus effectively reducing the possibility of the sealant being forced into the first accommodating cavity 101 by the plug portion 126 and minimizing adverse effects on the operation of the earphone 100.
Optionally, as shown in
By providing the first convex platform 1262 extending from the plug main body 1261 toward the first abutment surface 105 to form the annular surface 123 and the first convex platform 1262 includes the third abutment surface 124, thus the third abutment surface 124 abuts against the first abutment surface 105 to further secure the positioning of the plug portion 126, and enhance the connection stability and sealing between the ear hook assembly 12 and the housing assembly 10. The arrangement of the first convex platform 1262 allows a gap to be formed between the first abutment surface 105 and the second abutment surface 122, which may accommodate the sealant, thereby improving the connection stability and sealing between the ear hook assembly 12 and the housing assembly 10, and contributing to extending the service life of the earphone 100. Furthermore, the third abutment surface 124, the annular surface 123, and the second abutment surface 122 are arranged in a stepped shape, and the third abutment surface 124 is inclined towards the first direction F1, which effectively guides the plug portion 126 to insert into the socket 102, thereby facilitating positioning, effectively reducing assembly difficulty, and improving assembly efficiency.
Optionally, as shown in
By providing the buckle portion 127 that extends from the plug portion 126 into the first accommodating cavity 101 to snap fit with the housing assembly 10, the connection stability and reliability of the first connecting end 121 of the ear hook assembly 12 with the housing assembly 10 are further enhanced, thereby effectively improving the stability and reliability of the connection between the ear hook assembly 12 and the core assembly 1, and effectively improving the service life of the earphone 100.
Optionally, as shown in
By providing the elastic arm 1271, the plug portion 126 can be inserted into the second channel 104, and the elastic arm 1271 can be inserted into the first channel 103, thereby enhancing the connection stability and reliability between the ear hook assembly 12 and the housing assembly 10. The elastic arm 1271 may undergo elastic deformation within a certain range, which helps reduce assembly and disassembly difficulty. Moreover, setting the locking block 1272 can further limit and secure the elastic arm 1271. The blocking fit between the locking block 1272 and the wall surface of the first accommodating cavity 101 restricts movement of the elastic arm 1271 in the first direction F1, thereby reducing the possibility of the elastic arm 1271 dislodging from the first channel 103. This arrangement enhances the connection stability and reliability between the ear hook assembly 12 and the housing assembly 10, thus extending the service life of the earphone 100.
Optionally, as shown in
By setting the two elastic arms 1271 and the corresponding two locking blocks 1272, a contact area between the buckle portion 127 and the housing assembly 10 is effectively increased, thereby improving the connection stability and reliability between the buckle portion 127 and the housing assembly 10. Additionally, configuring the two locking blocks 1272 to extend in opposite directions can improve the effect of the blocking fit between the locking block 1272 and the wall surface of the first accommodating cavity 101 and balance forces applied to the two locking blocks 1272, thereby contributing to extending the service life of the earphone 100.
Optionally, in some embodiments, the first abutment surface 105 includes a portion perpendicular to the first direction F1. In some embodiments, the second abutment surface 122 includes a portion perpendicular to the first direction F1. In other embodiments, the first abutment surface 105 includes a portion perpendicular to the first direction F1, and the second abutment surface 122 includes a portion perpendicular to the first direction F1.
By setting the first abutment surface 105 and the second abutment surface 122 to include portions perpendicular to the first direction F1, it facilitates better accommodation of the sealant, thereby enhancing sealing and connection stability.
Optionally, as shown in
By configuring the annular surface 123 to extend in the direction parallel to the first direction F1 toward the first abutment surface 105, the plug portion 126 is effectively guided into the socket 102, thereby facilitating positioning, reducing assembly difficulty, and improving assembly efficiency. The annular surface 123 does not adhere to an inner wall of the second channel 104, which allows for accommodation of the sealant, thereby improving sealing and connection stability.
Optionally, as shown in
By providing the ear hook assembly 12 with the through-hole 125, the reinforcing member and/or the wire can be inserted into the through-hole 125 without being exposed to the earphone 100, which is conducive to enhancing the aesthetics of the earphone 100. In addition, providing the ear hook assembly 12 with the through-hole 125 to accommodate the wire can enhance the space utilization of the earphone 100, and providing the reinforcing member in the through-hole 125 can enhance the supportability of the ear hook assembly 12 for easy attachment to the ear of the user, which can achieve both wearing comfort and wearing stability, thereby improving the sense of use of the earphone 100.
Optionally, as shown in
The air conduction speaker 111 is a speaker assembly that transmits sound to the user through the principle of air vibration, while the bone conduction speaker is a speaker assembly that transmits sound to the user by simulating sound vibration frequencies for bone conduction vibration. The first accommodating cavity 101 and the second accommodating cavity 106 may be isolated from each other, with the sealing of the first accommodating cavity 101 being greater than the sealing of the second accommodating cavity 106. The bone conduction speaker is disposed in the first accommodating cavity 101, and the air conduction speaker 111 is disposed in the second accommodating cavity 106. In some embodiments, the first accommodating cavity 101 is set to be completely sealed, while the second accommodating cavity 106 is set to be a highly sealed accommodating cavity, ensuring a sound-producing condition of the air conduction speaker 111. This arrangement allows separate installation of the bone conduction speaker and the air conduction speaker 111, thereby effectively enhancing the sealing effect of the bone conduction speaker, and preventing the bone conduction speaker from being eroded and damaged by external environmental factors, while ensuring the sound quality of the air conduction speaker 111. Furthermore, when the bone conduction speaker and the air conduction speaker 111 of the earphone 100 operate simultaneously, as the bone conduction speaker and the air conduction speaker 111 are separately placed in the first accommodating cavity 101 and the second accommodating cavity 106, respectively, mutual interference between them can be effectively prevented, thereby significantly improving the sound quality of the earphone 100.
Optionally, as shown in
The bone conduction speaker and the air conduction speaker 111 are accommodated in the first accommodating cavity 101 and the second accommodating cavity 106, respectively. The housing assembly 10 is provided with the pressure relief hole 107 to relieve pressure for the air conduction speaker 111. The pressure relief hole 107 is configured to communicate the second accommodating cavity 106 with the external environment, and the pressure relief hole 107 is configured to extend towards a side where the first accommodating cavity 101 is located. This configuration effectively reduces the space occupied by the pressure relief hole 107 on a periphery of the second accommodating cavity 106, which utilizes the space between the first accommodating cavity 101 and the second accommodating cavity 106 more efficiently, thereby improving the space utilization of the housing assembly 10, such that the housing assembly 10 can be arranged in a more compact and reasonable manner while meeting the sound-producing condition of the air conduction speaker 111.
