Detailed Description

The application is described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and examples. It is specifically noted that the following examples are only for illustrating the present application, but do not limit the scope of the present application. Likewise, the following examples are only some, but not all, of the examples of the present application, and all other examples, which a person of ordinary skill in the art would obtain without making any inventive effort, are within the scope of the present application.

Reference in the specification to "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the application. Those of skill in the art will explicitly and implicitly appreciate that the described embodiments of the application may be combined with other embodiments.

Referring to fig. 1, an ear 100 of a user may include physiological sites such as an external auditory canal 101, a concha cavity 102, a concha boat 103, a triangular fossa 104, an antitragus 105, a tragus 106, an auricle 107, and an antitragus 108. Although the external auditory canal 101 has a certain depth and extends to the tympanic membrane of the ear, for convenience of description, and in connection with fig. 1, the external auditory canal 101 refers specifically to its entrance (i.e., eardrum) away from the tympanic membrane without specific explanation of the present application. Further, physiological parts such as the concha cavity 102, the concha boat 103, the triangular fossa 104 and the like have a certain volume and depth; and the concha cavity 102 is in direct communication with the external auditory meatus 101, i.e., can be simply considered as the aforementioned earhole being located at the bottom of the concha cavity 102.

Further, individual differences may exist for different users, resulting in different size differences in the shape, size, etc. of the ears. For ease of description, and to reduce (or even eliminate) individual differences among different users, a simulator having a HEAD and its (left and right) ears, such as GRAS 45BC KEMAR, HEAD health, B & K4128 series, or B & K5128 series, may be made based on ANSI:S3.36, S3.25, and IEC:60318-7 standards, thereby presenting a scenario in which most users wear the headset 10. Taking GRAS KEMAR as an example, the simulator of the ear may be any one of GRAS 45AC, GRAS 45BC, GRAS 45CC, GRAS 43AG, or the like; taking the HEAD physics as an example, the simulator of the ear can be any of HMS II.3, HMS II.3LN, or HMS II.3LN HEC, etc. Accordingly, in the present application, descriptions such as "the user wears the earphone", "the earphone is in the wearing state", and "in the wearing state" may refer to the earphone of the present application being worn on the ear of the aforementioned simulator. Of course, because of individual differences among different users, the headset may be worn by different users with a certain difference from the ear of the headset worn on the simulator, but such a difference should be tolerated.

It should be noted that: in the medical, anatomical, etc. fields, three basic slices of the sagittal (SAGITTAL PLANE), coronal (CoronalPlane) and Horizontal (Horizontal Plane) Plane of the human body and three basic axes of the sagittal (Sagittal Axis), coronal (Coronal Axis) and Vertical (Vertical Axis) axes may be defined. The sagittal plane is a section perpendicular to the ground and is divided into a left part and a right part; the coronal plane is a tangential plane perpendicular to the ground and is formed along the left-right direction of the body, and divides the human body into a front part and a rear part; the horizontal plane refers to a section parallel to the ground along the up-down direction of the body, and divides the human body into an upper part and a lower part. Accordingly, the sagittal axis refers to an axis along the anterior-posterior direction of the body and perpendicular to the coronal plane, the coronal axis refers to an axis along the lateral direction of the body and perpendicular to the sagittal plane, and the vertical axis refers to an axis along the superior-inferior direction of the body and perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Further, the term "front side of the ear" as used herein is a concept of "back side of the ear" with respect to the side of the ear facing away from the head and the side of the ear facing toward the head, all for the user's ear. The front outline schematic diagram of the ear shown in fig. 1 can be obtained by observing the ear of the simulator along the direction of the coronal axis of the human body.

As an example, referring to fig. 2 to 5, the earphone 10 may include a deck module 11 and a hook structure 12 connected to the deck module 11, the deck module 11 being positioned at a front side of an ear in a worn state, and at least a portion of the hook structure 12 being positioned at a rear side of the ear in a worn state, such that the earphone 10 is hung on the ear in a worn state. Wherein movement module 11 may have a connection end CE connected to hook 12 and a free end FE not connected to hook 12. Further, the deck module 11 may be provided so as not to block the external auditory meatus in the wearing state, so that the earphone 10 functions as an "open earphone". Wherein, because of individual differences among different users, when the earphone 10 is worn by different users, the external auditory meatus may be partially blocked by the core module 11, but the external auditory meatus is still not blocked.

To improve the stability of the earphone 10 in the worn state, the earphone 10 may employ any one of the following or a combination thereof. First, at least a portion of the hook structure 12 is configured as a contoured structure that conforms to at least one of the rear side of the ear and the head to increase the contact area of the hook structure 12 with the ear and/or the head, thereby increasing the resistance to the earphone 10 falling off of the ear. Secondly, at least part of the hook-shaped structure 12 is provided as an elastic structure, so that the hook-shaped structure has a certain deformation amount in a wearing state, so that the positive pressure of the hook-shaped structure 12 on the ear and/or the head is increased, and the resistance of the earphone 10 falling off from the ear is increased. Thirdly, the hook structure 12 is at least partially arranged to abut against the head in the wearing state, so that a reaction force for pressing the ear is formed, so that the movement module 11 is pressed against the front side of the ear, and the resistance of the earphone 10 falling off from the ear is increased. Fourth, the movement module 11 and the hook-shaped structure 12 are arranged to clamp physiological parts such as the region where the antitragus is located, the region where the concha cavity is located, and the like from the front side and the rear side of the ear in the wearing state, so that the resistance of the earphone 10 falling off from the ear is increased. Fifthly, the movement module 11 or an auxiliary structure connected with the movement module is arranged to extend into physiological parts such as the concha cavity, the concha boat, the triangular fossa, the ear boat and the like at least partially, so that the resistance of the earphone 10 falling off from the ear is increased.

As an example, with reference to fig. 3, in the worn state, the free end FE of the movement module 11 may extend into the concha chamber. Wherein, the movement module 11 and the hook-shaped structure 12 can be arranged to jointly clamp the ear area from the front and rear sides of the ear area corresponding to the concha cavity, thereby increasing the resistance of the earphone 10 falling off from the ear, and further improving the stability of the earphone 10 in the wearing state. For example, the free end FE is pressed in the thickness direction X within the concha cavity; for another example, the free end FE abuts in the concha chamber in the longitudinal direction Y and the width direction Z.

It should be noted that: in the wearing state, the free end FE of the movement module 11 may extend into the concha cavity, or may orthographically fall on the antitragus, or may orthographically fall on the left and right sides of the head and on the front side of the ear on the sagittal axis of the human body. In other words, the hook structure 12 may support the deck module 11 to be worn to a wearing position of the concha, the antitragus, the front side of the ear, or the like.

As an example, in conjunction with fig. 3 and 4, the deck module 11 may have an inner side IS facing the ear portion and an outer side OS facing away from the ear portion in the thickness direction X in the worn state, and a connection surface connecting the inner side IS and the outer side OS. The thickness direction X may be defined as a direction in which the movement module 11 approaches or separates from the ear in the wearing state. Further, at least part of the connecting surface is located in the concha cavity in the wearing state and forms a first contact area with the front side of the ear area, and the hook-shaped structure 12 forms a second contact area with the rear side of the ear area in the wearing state, and the second contact area and the first contact area at least partially overlap in the ear thickness direction of the ear area. In this way, not only the movement module 11 and the hook-shaped structure 12 can clamp the ear together from the front and rear sides of the ear, but also the clamping force is mainly expressed as compressive stress, which is beneficial to improving the stability and comfort of the earphone 10 in the wearing state.

It should be noted that: in the wearing state, and viewed along the direction of the coronal axis, the movement module 11 may be provided in a shape of a circle, an ellipse, a rounded square, a rounded rectangle, or the like. When the movement module 11 is arranged in a shape of a circle, an ellipse, or the like, the connection surface may refer to an arc-shaped side surface of the movement module 11; when the deck module 11 is provided in the shape of a rounded square, a rounded rectangle, or the like, the above-described connection surfaces may include a lower side LS, an upper side US, and a rear side RS, which will be described later. Further, the deck module 11 may have a length direction Y and a width direction Z perpendicular to the thickness direction X and orthogonal to each other. The length direction Y may be defined as a direction in which the movement module 11 approaches or moves away from the back of the brain of the user in the wearing state, and the width direction Z may be defined as a direction in which the movement module 11 approaches or moves away from the top of the head of the user in the wearing state. Therefore, for convenience of description, the present embodiment will be exemplarily described taking the case where the deck module 11 is provided in a rounded rectangle. The length of the movement module 11 in the length direction Y may be greater than the width of the movement module 11 in the width direction Z.

As an example, referring to fig. 2, 3 and 5, in the wearing state, and viewed along the direction of the coronal axis of the human body, the connecting end CE is closer to the vertex than the free end FE, so that the free end FE protrudes into the concha cavity. Based on this, the angle between the length direction Y and the direction in which the sagittal axis of the human body is located may be between 15 ° and 60 °. If the included angle is too small, the free end FE is likely to not extend into the concha cavity, and the sound outlet 111a on the movement module 11 is too far away from the external auditory canal; if the angle is too large, the free end FE is also likely to not extend into the concha cavity, and the external auditory canal is blocked by the movement module 11. In other words, the free end FE is allowed to extend into the concha cavity, and the sound outlet 111a on the core module 11 is provided with a suitable distance from the external auditory meatus, so that the user can hear the sound wave generated by the core module 11 more when the external auditory meatus is not blocked.

Illustratively, in connection with FIG. 4, the orthographic projection of the hook-like structure 12 on a reference plane perpendicular to the length direction Y (e.g., the XZ plane in FIG. 4) partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the free end FE on the same reference plane. Wherein, the overlapping area formed by the orthographic projection of the hook-shaped structure 12 on the aforementioned reference plane and the orthographic projection of the free end FE on the same reference plane IS located between the inner side IS and the outer side OS in the thickness direction X. In this way, not only the movement module 11 and the hook-shaped structure 12 can clamp the ear together from the front and rear sides of the ear, but also the clamping force is mainly expressed as compressive stress, which is beneficial to improving the stability and comfort of the earphone 10 in the wearing state.

Further, referring to fig. 2, 4, 5 and 9, the hook structure 12 may include an elastic wire 121 connected to the deck module 11 and a battery case 123 connected to an end of the elastic wire 121 remote from the deck module 11, where a battery 14 coupled to the deck module 11 is disposed in the battery case 123, and an orthographic projection of the battery case 123 on the reference plane overlaps with an orthographic projection of the free end FE on the same reference plane. In this manner, the battery housing 123 can support the ear from the rear side of the ear when the free end FE is seated in the concha cavity, which is advantageous for improving the stability of the earphone 10 in the worn state. Wherein, battery housing 123 may include a cover 1231 connected to elastic wire 121 and a battery compartment 1232 connected to cover 1231, battery compartment 1232 and cover 1231 cooperating to form a cavity structure housing battery 14.

As an example, in connection with fig. 5, the movement module 11 may have an upper side face US facing away from the external auditory meatus in the width direction Z and a lower side face LS facing toward the external auditory meatus in the wearing state, and a rear side face RS connecting the upper side face US and the lower side face LS, the rear side face RS being located at one end of the length direction Y facing toward the rear of the brain in the wearing state and being located at least partially in the concha chamber. The edge of the hook-shaped structure 12 on the side facing the movement module 11 in the orthographic projection on the reference plane (e.g., YZ plane in fig. 5) perpendicular to the thickness direction X may be divided into a first section S1 and a second section S2 in a continuous arc transition, and the boundary point DP between the first section S1 and the second section S2 is the position of the edge farthest from the upper side face US in the width direction Z. Further, the overall degree of curvature of the hook structure 12 in the first section S1 is greater than the overall degree of curvature of the hook structure 12 in the second section S2. This allows the free end FE to extend into the concha cavity and also allows the hook-like structure 12 to cooperate with the movement module 11 to provide a suitable clamping force.

It should be noted that: the above-described overall degree of curvature may be used to qualitatively describe the degree of curvature of different sections of the hook-like structure 12, wherein the radius of curvature of each section may be constant or continuously variable. Thus, at least one point within the first section S1 has a radius of curvature that is less than the radius of curvature of any point within the second section S2. Further, the overall degree of curvature may also be quantitatively characterized by an average radius of curvature, i.e., the radii of curvature at N points on each segment are averaged.

Further, in the extending direction of the hook structure 12, the length of the second section S2 may be greater than that of the first section S1, so that the hook structure 12 and the deck module 11 clamp the ear together, and the contact area between the hook structure 12 and the skin of the user is increased, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the earphone 10 in the wearing state.

In some embodiments, the earphone 10 has a first reference line segment RL1 parallel to the width direction Z, the start point of the first reference line segment RL1 is the point where the first reference line segment RL1 intersects the upper side surface US, and the end point of the first reference line segment RL1 is the demarcation point DP. Among them, the second reference line segment RL2, the third reference line segment RL3, and the fourth reference line segment RL4 mentioned later are sequentially farther from the start point of the first reference line segment RL1 in the width direction Z. Further, the length of the first reference line segment RL1 may be between 13mm and 20 mm. If the length of the first reference line segment RL1 is too small, the free end FE is likely to not extend into the concha cavity, and the sound emitting hole 111a on the movement module 11 is too far away from the external auditory canal; if the length of the first reference line segment RL1 is too large, it is also easy to cause the free end FE not to extend into the concha cavity, and the external auditory meatus is blocked by the movement module 11. In other words, the free end FE is allowed to extend into the concha cavity, and the sound outlet 111a on the core module 11 is provided with a suitable distance from the external auditory meatus, so that the user can hear the sound wave generated by the core module 11 more when the external auditory meatus is not blocked.

Further, a second reference line segment RL2 passing through 1/4 of the first reference line segment RL1 and parallel to the length direction Y intersects the first section S1 and the second section S2 at a first intersection point P1 and a second intersection point P2, respectively, a distance between the first intersection point P1 and a start point of the first reference line segment RL1 may be between 9mm and 15mm, and a distance between the second intersection point P2 and a start point of the first reference line segment RL1 may be between 12mm and 19 mm; the third reference line segment RL3 passing through 1/2 of the first reference line segment RL1 and parallel to the length direction Y intersects the first section S1 and the second section S2 at a third intersection point P3 and a fourth intersection point P4, respectively, a distance between the third intersection point P3 and a start point of the first reference line segment RL1 may be between 11mm and 18mm, and a distance between the fourth intersection point P4 and a start point of the first reference line segment RL1 may be between 12mm and 19 mm; the fourth reference line segment RL4 passing through 3/4 of the first reference line segment RL1 and parallel to the length direction Y intersects the first segment S1 and the second segment S2 at a fifth intersection point P5 and a sixth intersection point P6, respectively, a distance between the fifth intersection point P5 and a start point of the first reference line segment RL1 may be between 12mm and 19mm, and a distance between the sixth intersection point P6 and a start point of the first reference line segment RL1 may be between 12mm and 19 mm. Thus, when the free end FE extends into the concha cavity and the sound outlet 111a of the movement module 11 has a proper distance from the external auditory meatus, the hook structure 12 is better attached to the ear.

In some embodiments, the second section S2 and the rear side RS have a fifth reference line segment RL5 therebetween, where the distance between the fifth reference line segment RL5 and the rear side RS is shortest in the length direction Y, and the length of the fifth reference line segment RL5 may be between 2mm and 3 mm. If the length of the fifth reference line segment RL5 is too small, the clamping force of the movement module 11 and the hook-shaped structure 12 on the ear is too large, so that wearing discomfort is easily caused; if the length of the fifth reference line segment RL5 is too large, the clamping force of the deck module 11 and the hook structure 12 to the ear is too small to cause wearing instability. In other words, this is so arranged as to give consideration to both stability and comfort of the earphone 10 in the worn state.

Further, the fifth reference line segment RL5 is defined as follows: the point at which the fifth reference line segment RL5 intersects the rear side surface RS is taken as the start point of the fifth reference line segment RL5, and the point at which the fifth reference line segment RL5 intersects the second segment S2 is taken as the end point of the fifth reference line segment RL 5. The intersection point of the first reference line segment RL1 and the upper side surface US intersects with the second section S2 along the length direction Y at a seventh intersection point P7, the intersection point of the extension line of the first reference line segment RL1 and the lower side surface LS intersects with the second section S2 along the length direction Y at an eighth intersection point P8, the distance between the seventh intersection point P7 and the starting point of the fifth reference line segment RL5 may be between 5mm and 9mm, and the distance between the eighth intersection point P8 and the starting point of the fifth reference line segment RL5 may be between 5mm and 9 mm. In this manner, the hook-like structure 12 is better fitted to the ear while compromising stability and comfort of the headset 10 in the worn state.

As an example, referring to fig. 7, 8 and 5, the deck module 11 may include a deck housing 111 connected with the hook structure 12 and a speaker 112 disposed within the deck housing 111. Wherein the movement case 111 IS provided with an acoustic outlet 111a toward an inner side face of the ear (for example, the inner side face IS mentioned above) in a wearing state, and an acoustic wave generated by the speaker 112 propagates out through the acoustic outlet 111a so as to be transmitted into the external auditory meatus. Notably, are: the sound emitting hole 111a may be provided at a side of the deck case 111 corresponding to the lower side LS, and may be provided at a corner between the inner side and the lower side LS. Further, the speaker 112 may include a magnetic circuit system, a voice coil extending into the magnetic circuit system, and a diaphragm connected to the voice coil, where a magnetic field generated after the voice coil is energized interacts with a magnetic field formed by the magnetic circuit system, so as to drive the diaphragm to generate mechanical vibration, and further generate sound through propagation of air or other media.

Further, referring to fig. 7 to 9, the earphone 10 may include a main control circuit board 13 disposed in the deck housing 111 and a battery 14 disposed at an end of the hook structure 12 remote from the deck module 11, and the battery 14 and the speaker 112 are respectively coupled with the main control circuit board 13 to allow the battery 14 to supply power to the speaker 112 under the control of the main control circuit board 13. Of course, battery 14 and speaker 112 may be both disposed within cartridge housing 111, and battery 14 may be closer to connection end CE and speaker 112 may be closer to free end FE.

As an example, in connection with fig. 3 and 1, since the concha cavity has a certain volume and depth, after the free end FE extends into the concha cavity, a certain distance can be provided between the inner side IS of the cartridge case 111 and the concha cavity. In other words, the movement module 11 and the concha cavity may cooperate to form an auxiliary cavity communicating with the external auditory meatus in the worn state, and the sound emitting hole 111a is at least partially located in the aforementioned auxiliary cavity. In this way, in the wearing state, the sound wave generated by the speaker 112 and transmitted through the sound outlet 111a is limited by the auxiliary cavity, that is, the auxiliary cavity can gather the sound wave, so that the sound wave can be transmitted into the external auditory canal more, thereby improving the volume and the quality of the sound heard by the user in the near field, and thus being beneficial to improving the acoustic effect of the earphone 10. Further, since the movement module 11 may be configured not to block the external auditory meatus in the wearing state, the aforementioned auxiliary cavity may be semi-open. In this way, the sound wave generated by the speaker 112 and propagated through the sound outlet 111a propagates to the outside of the earphone 10 and the ear through the gap between the deck module 11 and the ear (for example, a portion of the deck cavity not covered by the deck module 11) in addition to the major portion thereof propagating to the external auditory meatus, thereby forming a first leakage sound in the far field; meanwhile, the movement module 11 is generally provided with an acoustic hole (for example, a pressure relief hole 111c mentioned later), the sound wave propagated out through the acoustic hole generally forms a second leakage sound in the far field, and the phase of the first leakage sound and the phase (near) of the second leakage sound are opposite to each other, so that the two can be opposite to each other in the far field, which is beneficial to reducing the leakage sound of the earphone 10 in the far field.

Further, the earphone 10 may include an adjusting mechanism for connecting the deck module 11 and the hook structure 12, and different users can adjust the relative positions of the deck module 11 on the ears through the adjusting mechanism in the wearing state, so that the deck module 11 is located at a proper position, and the deck module 11 and the concha cavity form the auxiliary cavity. In addition, the user can also adjust the headset 10 to a more stable, comfortable position due to the presence of the adjustment mechanism.

As an example, referring to fig. 6, the earphone 10 is first worn on the simulator, then the position of the movement module 11 on the ear of the simulator is adjusted, and then the frequency response curve of the earphone 10 is measured by a detector (e.g., a microphone) disposed in the external auditory canal of the simulator (e.g., where the tympanic membrane is located, that is, where the sound is to be heard), so as to simulate the sound effect of the user wearing the earphone 10. Wherein, the frequency response curve can be used for representing the change relation between the vibration magnitude and the frequency; the abscissa of the aforementioned frequency response curve may represent frequency in Hz; the ordinate of the aforementioned frequency response curve may represent the magnitude of the vibration in dB. In fig. 6, a curve 6_1 may represent a frequency response curve when the movement module 11 does not form the auxiliary cavity with the concha cavity in the wearing state, and a curve 6_2 may represent a frequency response curve when the movement module 11 cooperates with the concha cavity to form the auxiliary cavity in the wearing state. Based on this, it can be directly and unambiguously derived from the comparison of the frequency response curves shown in fig. 6: the curve 6_2 is located above the curve 6_1 as a whole, that is, compared with the movement module 11 not forming the auxiliary cavity with the concha cavity in the wearing state, the movement module 11 forming the auxiliary cavity with the concha cavity in the wearing state is more beneficial to improving the acoustic effect of the earphone 10.

As an example, referring to fig. 7, 9, and 11, the deck module 11 may include a flexible insert 1131 disposed outside the deck housing 111, the flexible insert 1131 having a hardness less than that of the deck housing 111. Wherein, the movement housing 111 may be a plastic part; the flexible insert 1131 may be made of silica gel, rubber, etc., and may be formed on a predetermined area of the deck housing 111 by injection molding. Further, flexible insert 1131 may at least partially cover the area of cartridge housing 111 corresponding to free end FE such that cartridge module 11 is at least partially held against the concha cavity by flexible insert 1131. In other words, the portion of cartridge housing 111 that protrudes into and contacts the concha chamber may be covered by flexible insert 1131. In this way, when the deck module 11 abuts against the inside of the concha cavity, for example, when the deck module 11 and the hook structure 12 are disposed to clamp the aforementioned ear area from both front and rear sides of the ear area corresponding to the concha cavity of the ear together, the flexible insert 1131 plays a role in buffering between the deck housing 111 and the ear (such as the aforementioned ear area) to relieve the pressure of the earphone 10 on the ear, which is beneficial to improving the comfort of the earphone 10 in the wearing state.

As an example, the flexible insert 1131 may continuously cover at least part of the areas of the cartridge case 111 corresponding to the rear side RS, the upper side US, and the lower side LS. For example: the area of the deck housing 111 corresponding to the rear side RS is covered by the flexible insert 1131 by 90% or more, and the areas of the deck housing 111 corresponding to the upper side US and the lower side LS are respectively covered by the flexible insert 1131 by about 30%. In this way, the comfort of the earphone 10 in the wearing state and the requirement of the structural components such as the speaker 112 in the deck housing 111 are both considered.

In some embodiments, the flexible insert 1131 may be provided in a U-shape as viewed in the thickness direction X.

In some embodiments, the portion of the flexible insert 1131 corresponding to the underside LS may rest against the antitragus. The thickness of the portion of the flexible insert 1131 corresponding to the rear side RS may be smaller than the thicknesses of the portions of the upper side US and the lower side LS corresponding to the flexible insert 1131, so as to obtain good comfort when the movement module 11 abuts against the uneven position in the concha cavity.

As an example, in conjunction with fig. 7 and 8, the cartridge case 111 may include a cartridge inner case 1111 and a cartridge outer case 1112 that are fastened to each other in the thickness direction X, the cartridge inner case 1111 being closer to the ear in the wearing state than the cartridge outer case 1112. Wherein the parting surface 111b between the cartridge case 1112 and the cartridge case 1111 is inclined toward the side where the cartridge case 1111 is located in a direction approaching the free end FE, so that the flexible insert 1131 can be disposed as much as possible in the region of the cartridge case 111 corresponding to the free end FE. For example: referring to fig. 11, the flexible insert 1131 is disposed in the region of the deck housing 111 corresponding to the free end FE, so as to simplify the structure of the deck module 11 and reduce the processing cost.

As an example, in conjunction with fig. 7, 8, and 11, the cartridge module 11 may include a flexible coating 1132, the flexible coating 1132 having a hardness less than that of the cartridge housing 111. Wherein, the movement housing 111 may be a plastic part; the flexible coating 1132 may be made of silica gel, rubber, etc., and may be formed on a predetermined area of the cartridge case 111 by injection molding, glue connection, etc. Further, flexible coating 1132 may be integrally coated on at least a portion of the outer surface of flexible insert 1131 and at least a portion of the outer surface of cartridge housing 1112 not covered by flexible insert 1131, which may facilitate enhanced uniformity in the appearance of cartridge module 11. Of course, the flexible coating 1132 may further cover the outer surface of the cartridge case 1111. Wherein the hardness of the flexible insert 1131 is less than the hardness of the flexible cover 1132 to allow the flexible insert 1131 to be sufficiently soft. In addition, the flexible cover 1132 can also improve the comfort of the earphone 10 in the worn state, and has a certain structural strength to protect the flexible insert 1131. Further, the area of the outer surface of the flexible slug 1131 may be between 126mm ² and 189mm ². Wherein, if the aforementioned area is too small, the comfort of the movement module 11 in the wearing state is easily deteriorated; if the aforementioned area is too large, it is likely to cause the volume of the deck module 11 to be too large, and the area of the flexible insert 1131 not abutting against the concha cavity to deviate from the purpose of providing the flexible insert 1131. Further, the thickness of the flexible coating 1132 is smaller than the thickness of the cartridge case 1112.

As an example, in conjunction with fig. 11 and 9, the cartridge module 11 may include a metallic functional pattern such as an antenna pattern 1141 and/or a touch pattern 1142 disposed between the cartridge housing 1112 and the flexible cover 1132. Wherein, the antenna pattern 1141 may be formed on the outer side of the core case 1112 by a Laser-Direct-structuring (LDS) technique; the touch pattern 1142 may be formed on the outer side of the core housing 1112 by a laser direct structuring technology, or may be a flexible touch circuit board adhered on the outer side of the core housing 1112. Further, the cartridge case 1112 is provided with metallized holes connected to the antenna pattern 1141 and the touch pattern 1142, respectively. At this time, since the main control circuit board 13 is disposed in the deck housing 111, for example, the main control circuit board 13 is connected to the deck housing 1112, the main control circuit board 13 may be in contact with the inner wall of the corresponding metallized hole through an elastic metal member such as pogo-PIN, metal dome, etc., for example, the antenna pattern 1141 and the touch pattern 1142 are connected to the pogo-PIN131 and the pogo-PIN132, respectively, which are soldered on the main control circuit board 13. Accordingly, speaker 112 is located on a side of main control circuit board 13 facing away from cartridge housing 1112. Thus, compared to the antenna pattern 1141 and the touch pattern 1142 disposed on the inner side of the movement housing 1112 facing the speaker 112, the antenna pattern 1141 disposed on the outer side of the movement housing 1112 can increase the space between the main control circuit board 13 and the movement housing 1112, i.e. increase the antenna clearance area, thereby increasing the interference resistance to the antenna pattern 1141; the touch pattern 1142 is disposed on the outer side of the movement housing 1112, so as to shorten the distance between the touch pattern 1142 and an external signal trigger source (e.g. a finger of a user), that is, reduce the touch distance, thereby increasing the sensitivity of the touch pattern 1142 triggered by the user.

In some embodiments, the antenna pattern 1141 may surround the periphery of the touch pattern 1142 to fully utilize the space outside the cartridge case 1112. The antenna pattern 1141 may be disposed in a U shape, and the touch pattern 1142 may be disposed in a square shape.

Further, the deck module 11 may include a microphone 133 soldered to the main control circuit board 13, and the microphone 133 may pick up user's voice and environmental sounds through a sound pick-up through hole provided on the deck housing 1112. When the main control circuit board 13 is connected to the cartridge case 1112, the microphone 133 may be further pressed against the cartridge case 1112.

As an example, referring to fig. 10 and 11, the cartridge inner case 1111 may include a bottom wall 1113 and a first side wall 1114 connected to the bottom wall 1113, the cartridge outer case 1112 may include a top wall 1115 and a second side wall 1116 connected to the top wall 1115, the second side wall 1116 and the first side wall 1114 may be fastened to each other along the parting plane 111b, and both may be supported by each other. Wherein, viewed in the width direction Z, and in a reference direction (for example, a direction opposite to an arrow Y in fig. 10 and 11) in which the connecting end CE points to the free end FE, a portion of the first side wall 1114 near the free end FE gradually approaches the bottom wall 1113 in the thickness direction X, and a portion of the second side wall 1116 near the free end FE gradually gets away from the top wall 1115 in the thickness direction X, so that the parting plane 111b is inclined toward the side where the inner shell 1111 is located in the direction near the free end FE. At this point, the flexible insert 1131 is at least partially disposed outside of the second side wall 1116. For example: referring to fig. 11 and 9, the flexible insert 1131 is disposed partially outside of the top wall 1115 in addition to the second side wall 1116. Accordingly, the sound outlet 111a may be provided on the bottom wall 1113. Of course, the sound outlet 111a may be provided at a side of the first side wall 1114 corresponding to the lower side LS, and may be provided at a corner between the first side wall 1114 and the bottom wall 1113. Further, the antenna pattern 1141 and the touch pattern 1142 and their respective metallized holes may be disposed on the top wall 1115, and the pick-up hole of the microphone 133 may also be disposed on the top wall 1115.

As an example, and in connection with fig. 7 and 11, cartridge housing 1112 may be provided with an embedded slot at least partially on second sidewall 1116, with flexible insert 1131 embedded within the embedded slot such that the outer surface of the area of cartridge housing 1112 not covered by flexible insert 1131 continuously transitions with the outer surface of flexible insert 1131. The area of the flexible insert 1131 in fig. 7 can be simply referred to as the aforementioned insert groove. Thus, the flexible insert 1131 is not only beneficial to being piled up on the core housing 1112 in the injection molding process, so that the flexible insert 1131 is prevented from overflowing, but also beneficial to improving the appearance quality of the core module 11 and avoiding the surface pits of the core module 11.

Further, the second side wall 1116 may include a first sub-side wall section 1117 and a second sub-side wall section 1118 connected to the first sub-side wall section 1117, the first sub-side wall section 1117 being closer to the top wall 1115 than the second sub-side wall section 1118 in the thickness direction X, the second sub-side wall section 1118 protruding toward the outside of the deck case 111 than the first sub-side wall section 1117. In short, the second sidewall 1116 may be a stepped structure. In this way, the flexible insert 1131 is not only beneficial to being piled up on the core shell 1112 in the injection molding process, so that the flexible insert 1131 is prevented from overflowing, but also beneficial to the core module 11 to be propped against the concha cavity through the flexible insert 1131, so that the comfort of the earphone 10 in the wearing state is improved.

Further, the main control circuit board 13 may be connected to the cartridge case 1112, for example, fixed to a heat stake connected to the top wall 1115, and may partially overlap the first sub-side wall segment 1117 in the thickness direction X; the speaker 112 may partially overlap the second sub-sidewall section 1118 in the thickness direction X. In this way, it is advantageous to provide a speaker 112 in the deck housing 111 that is large enough to enhance the sound volume produced by the earphone 10.

As an example, in connection with fig. 10 and 8, the deck housing 111 may be provided with a pressure release hole 111c, the pressure release hole 111c allowing the space of the speaker 112 toward the main control circuit board 13 side to communicate with the external environment, i.e., air can freely enter and exit the aforementioned space. In this manner, the diaphragm of speaker 112 is advantageously reduced in resistance during vibration. The pressure relief hole 111c may face the top of the head in the wearing state, so as to avoid that sound waves propagating through the pressure relief hole 111c form a leakage sound (i.e., the second leakage sound) to be heard. Based on the helmholtz resonator, the aperture of the pressure relief hole 111c may be as large as possible, so that the resonance frequency of the second leakage sound is shifted to a frequency band with a higher frequency (e.g., a frequency range greater than 4 kHz) as much as possible, which is advantageous to further avoid that the second leakage sound is heard.

Further, the deck housing 111 may be provided with a sound tuning hole 111d, where the sound tuning hole 111d may shift the resonance frequency of the second leakage sound to a frequency band with a higher frequency (for example, a frequency range greater than 4 kHz) as much as possible, which is advantageous for further avoiding the second leakage sound from being heard. The area of the sound adjusting hole 111d may be smaller than that of the pressure releasing hole 111c, so that the space of the speaker 112 facing the main control circuit board 13 is more communicated with the external environment through the pressure releasing hole 111 c. Further, the distance between the sound outlet 111a and the pressure release hole 111c in the width direction Z is larger than the distance between the sound outlet 111a and the pressure release hole 111d in the width direction Z, so as to avoid the sound waves propagated through the sound outlet 111a and the pressure release hole 111c from being cancelled in the near-field opposite phase, which is beneficial to improving the volume of the sound propagated through the sound outlet 111a heard by the user. Accordingly, the sound adjusting hole 111d is closer to the connection end CE than the sound emitting hole 111a, so as to increase the distance between the sound emitting hole 111a and the connection end CE in the length direction Y, thereby avoiding the sound waves propagated through the sound emitting hole 111a and the sound adjusting hole 111d from being cancelled in the near-field opposite phase, and being beneficial to improving the volume of the sound propagated through the sound emitting hole 111a, which is heard by the user.

As an example, in connection with fig. 10, the sound outlet 111a, the pressure relief hole 111c, and the sound adjustment hole 111d may be provided on the inner core shell 1111, for example, the sound outlet 111a is provided on the bottom wall 1113 and the pressure relief hole 111c and the sound adjustment hole 111d are provided on the first side wall 1114, respectively. Wherein the pressure release hole 111c and the sound adjusting hole 111d may be provided on opposite sides of the first side wall 1114 in the width direction Z, respectively. In this way, since the sound outlet 111a, the pressure relief 111c and the sound adjusting 111d are all disposed on the inner shell 1111, the structure of the outer shell 1112 is simpler, which is beneficial to reducing the processing cost. In addition, since the pressure release hole 111c and the sound adjusting hole 111d are disposed on opposite sides of the first side wall 1114 along the width direction Z, the parting surface 111b can be symmetrically disposed about a reference plane perpendicular to the width direction Z, which is beneficial to improving the appearance quality of the movement module 11.

As an example, referring to fig. 7 and 8, the deck module 11 may include a bracket 115 disposed in the deck housing 111, and the bracket 115 and the speaker 112 may enclose an acoustic cavity 116, so that the acoustic cavity 116 is separated from other structures (e.g., the main control circuit board 13, etc.) in the deck housing 111, which is advantageous for improving the acoustic expressivity of the deck module 11. The cartridge case 111 is provided with an acoustic hole, for example, the acoustic hole is at least one of the pressure relief hole 111c and the sound adjustment hole 111d, and the bracket 115 is provided with an acoustic channel 1151 that communicates the acoustic hole and the acoustic cavity 116, so that the acoustic cavity 116 is in communication with the external environment, that is, air can freely enter and exit the acoustic cavity 116, which is beneficial to reducing the resistance of the diaphragm of the speaker 112 in the vibration process.

Further, the bracket 115 and the cartridge case 111 cooperate to form a first glue groove 1171 surrounding at least a portion of the acoustic hole, where the first glue groove 1171 accommodates a first glue for sealing an assembly gap between the bracket 115 and the cartridge case 111, that is, the first glue is used for performing waterproof sealing, so that it is beneficial to avoid external sweat, rainwater, and other droplets from entering a space where the main control circuit board 13 in the cartridge case 111 is located. Therefore, based on the helmholtz resonator, compared with the related art that a silicone sleeve is pressed on the movement housing 111 by the bracket 115 to perform waterproof sealing, the present disclosure omits the silicone sleeve in the related art by performing waterproof sealing with the first glue, which is beneficial to shortening the length of the communication portion (including the acoustic channel 1151 and the acoustic hole) between the acoustic cavity 116 and the external environment, so that the resonance frequency of the leakage sound (i.e., the second leakage sound) formed by propagating out through the pressure release hole 111c is offset toward the frequency band (e.g., the frequency range greater than 4 kHz) with higher frequency as much as possible, thereby further avoiding the second leakage sound from being heard.

It should be noted that: when the acoustic hole is the pressure relief hole 111c, the first glue groove 1171 surrounds at least a portion of the pressure relief hole 111 c; when the acoustic hole is the sound adjusting hole 111d, the first glue groove 1171 surrounds at least a portion of the sound adjusting hole 111 d; when the acoustic holes are the pressure relief hole 111c and the sound adjusting hole 111d, the first glue groove 1171 surrounds at least a portion of the pressure relief hole 111c and the sound adjusting hole 111d, respectively. For convenience of description, in connection with fig. 8, 10 and 12, the above-mentioned acoustic holes are taken as the pressure relief hole 111c and the sound adjusting hole 111d, and the first glue groove 1171 surrounds at least a portion of the pressure relief hole 111c and the sound adjusting hole 111d respectively for exemplary illustration. Further, if the gap between the bracket 115 and the cartridge housing 111 (e.g., the bottom wall 1113 thereof) is sufficiently large, or the bottom wall 1113 and the first side wall 1114 in the cartridge housing 111 are not integrally formed members (i.e., two separate members), the first adhesive groove 1171 may surround all of the above-mentioned acoustic holes, i.e., the first adhesive groove 1171 is a complete annular structure.

As an example, referring to fig. 12 and 10, the bracket 115 may include an annular body portion 1152 and a docking portion 1153 connected to the annular body portion 1152. Wherein, annular body 1152 is disposed around speaker 112 to form acoustic chamber 116, and acoustic channel 1151 extends through interface 1153 and annular body 1152. Further, a docking portion 1153 is located between the annular body portion 1152 and the cartridge case 111, and surrounds at least a portion of the acoustic hole, and the docking portion 1153 cooperates with the cartridge case 111 to form a first adhesive receiving recess 1171. Wherein, since the acoustic holes may be the pressure release hole 111c and the sound adjustment hole 111d, two docking portions 1153 are correspondingly provided, and two first glue accommodating grooves 1171 are correspondingly provided. Accordingly, the docking portion 1153 cooperates with the first side wall 1114 to form a first glue recess 1171. In this way, the support 115 is disposed in a ring shape, so that the speaker 112 is exposed toward the side of the main control circuit board 13, which is beneficial to reducing the thickness of the movement module 11 in the thickness direction X.

As an example, referring to fig. 10 and 8, the inner side of the cartridge case 111 may be provided with a depression 1119, the acoustic hole may be provided at the bottom of the depression 1119, and the cartridge module 11 may include an acoustic resistive mesh 118 provided in the depression 1119, and the docking portion 1153 may press the acoustic resistive mesh 118 against the bottom of the depression 1119. In this way, it is advantageous not only to avoid the holder 115 from scraping to the acoustic resistive mesh 118 during assembly, but also to reduce the assembly gap between the holder 115, the acoustic resistive mesh 118, and the inner case 1111, and to avoid rattling of the acoustic resistive mesh 118. Wherein, the acoustic resistance net 118 can be pre-fixed at the bottom of the concave area 1119 through double faced adhesive tape or glue; the acoustic resistive mesh 118 may be pre-fixed to the protective steel mesh, which is then pre-fixed to the bottom of the recess 1119 by double sided tape or glue. Accordingly, since the above-mentioned acoustic holes may be the pressure relief hole 111c and the sound adjusting hole 111d, the concave area 1119 is correspondingly provided with two, and the acoustic resistive mesh 118 is correspondingly provided with two.

Further, the first glue may further be used to seal the assembly gap between the support 115 and the acoustically resistive mesh 118 and/or the assembly gap between the acoustically resistive mesh 118 and the cartridge housing 111 (e.g., the side wall of the recess 1119), which may facilitate a further watertight seal.

As an example, in conjunction with fig. 8, 10, and 12, the docking portion 1153 may be used to form a bottom wall and one side groove wall of the first glue groove 1171, and the cartridge housing 111 may be used to form the other side groove wall of the first glue groove 1171. The groove wall on the cartridge housing 111 is opposite to the groove wall on the docking portion 1153, so that the first glue groove 1171 has a certain width and depth. Of course, the docking portion 1153 may be used to form one side groove wall of the first glue groove 1171, and the cartridge housing 111 may be used to form the bottom wall and the other side groove wall of the first glue groove 1171; or interface 1153 may be used to form one portion of the side walls and bottom wall of first glue well 1171 and cartridge housing 111 may be used to form another portion of the other side walls and bottom wall of first glue well 1171.

As an example, in connection with fig. 12 to 14, the speaker 112 may include a body 1121 and an annular cushion cap 1122 provided along the circumferential direction of the body 1121, the lower end of the bracket 115 may be supported on the annular cushion cap 1122, the acoustic channel 1151 may be provided in an open manner on the side facing the annular cushion cap 1122, and the annular cushion cap 1122 further blocks the open portion of the acoustic channel 1151. At this time, it may be simply considered that the first glue well 1171 surrounds a portion of the acoustic hole, so that glue may be filled in the first glue well 1171 in a subsequent manner such as a dispensing process.

In some embodiments, the annular table 1122 can include a first annular table 1123 and a second annular table 1124 disposed in a stepped configuration, the second annular table 1124 being disposed about the periphery of the first annular table 1123; a portion of the lower end of the bracket 115 may be supported on the first annular mesa 1123, and another portion of the lower end of the bracket 115 may form a spaced area with the second annular mesa 1124, such that the bracket 115, the annular bearing 1122, and the cartridge housing 111 cooperate to form a second glue groove 1172, the second glue groove 1172 containing a second glue for sealing an assembly gap between any two of the bracket 115, the annular bearing 1122, and the cartridge housing 111 for a corresponding watertight seal.

In some embodiments, the upper end of the bracket 115 may be erected on the body 1121 and cooperate with the body 1121 to form a third glue well 1173, the third glue well 1173 containing a third glue for sealing the assembly gap between the bracket 115 and the body 1121 for a corresponding watertight seal.

It should be noted that: in a specific assembly process of the movement module 11, the method may include the following process steps, and the sequence of all the process steps may be adjusted as required: 1) Pre-fixing the acoustic resistive mesh 118 to the bottom of the depression 1119 by double sided tape; 2) Fixing the speaker 112 to the bottom wall 1113, dispensing the assembly gap therebetween, and accumulating corresponding glue portions on the second annular mesa 1124 of the speaker 112; 3) Before the glue in step 2) is cured, fixing the bracket 115 on the speaker 112, wherein the lower end of the bracket 115 is supported on the first annular table top 1123 of the speaker 112, so that the space between the lower end of the bracket 115 and the second annular table top 1124 is filled with glue, the abutting portion 1153 of the bracket 115 presses the acoustic resistive mesh 118 and cooperates with the first side wall 1114 to form a first glue groove 1171, and the upper end of the bracket 115 is erected on the body 1121 and cooperates with the body 1121 to form a third glue groove 1173; 4) Dispensing is performed to the assembly gaps between the first adhesive accommodating groove 1171, the third adhesive accommodating groove 1173 and the lower end of the bracket 115 and the speaker 112 and the inner core shell 1111. Wherein, since the assembly gap between the lower end of the bracket 115 and the speaker 112 and the inner chassis 1111 is very close to the first adhesive groove 1171, the assembly gap between the lower end of the bracket 115 and the speaker 112 and the inner chassis 1111 can be simply regarded as a continuation of the first adhesive groove 1171, that is, the first adhesive groove 1171 and the second adhesive groove 1172 can communicate.

As an example, referring to fig. 15 to 18 and 7, the hook structure 12 may include an adapter housing 122 connected to the deck module 11, the adapter housing 122 may be formed with a receiving cavity 124 in advance, and the earphone 10 may include the electronic component 15 subsequently mounted in the receiving cavity 124. The connection mode between the adapting housing 122 and the movement module 11 may be one or a combination of assembly modes such as clamping, welding, glue connection, screw connection, etc. Thus, compared with the prior art that the electronic component 15 is disposed in the movement module 11, the electronic component 15 is additionally mounted in the accommodating cavity 124 preset by the hook structure 12, which is not only beneficial to saving the space of the movement module 11 and making it more compact and small in structure, but also beneficial to simplifying the structure of the movement module 11 and making the assembly efficiency higher, and also beneficial to reasonably arranging the relative positions of the structural components in the earphone 10, so that the movement module 11 and the hook structure 12 can be fully utilized.

It should be noted that: the preformed accommodating cavity 124 of the adaptor housing 122 may mean that the accommodating cavity 124 is formed simultaneously when the adaptor housing 122 is formed, rather than being formed by machining after the adaptor housing 122 is formed. For example: the adapter housing 122 is a plastic housing, and the corresponding accommodating cavity 124 can be obtained after the plastic housing is injection molded by providing the corresponding core. Accordingly, subsequent attachment of the electronic component 15 within the receiving cavity 124 may refer to a non-integrally formed structural member of the electronic component 15 and the adapter housing 122. For example: the adapter housing 122 is a plastic housing, and the electronic component 15 is not integrally injection molded in the plastic housing by an insert. Based on this, descriptions of the adaptor housing 122, which will be mentioned later, being formed with the through hole 1251, the blind hole 1252, the through hole 1253, etc., are the same or similar, and will not be repeated here. Of course, the receiving cavity 124 may be obtained by a drilling process after the adaptor housing 122 is formed, and the through hole 1251, the blind hole 1252, the through hole 1253, etc. may be obtained by a drilling process after the adaptor housing 122 is formed.

As an example, in connection with fig. 7, the electronic component 15 may be coupled with the main control circuit board 13 to realize the electrical connection between the hook structure 12 and the movement module 11, and the adapter housing 122 may be plugged and fixed with the movement housing 111 to realize the structural connection between the hook structure 12 and the movement module 11, which is simple and reliable. The above-mentioned plugging and fixing means that one of the adapting case 122 and the movement case 111 is first partially inserted into the other along the assembling direction and then plugged and fixed by other limiting structures such as pins, and the assembling direction of the limiting structures is not parallel to the assembling direction; the above-mentioned plugging and fixing may also mean that when one of the adapter housing 122 and the movement housing 111 is partially inserted into the other, the plugging and fixing can be performed without the aid of the above-mentioned limiting structure.

As an example, referring to fig. 7, 10 and 16, the adaptor housing 122 may be provided with a first fastening structure 1221, the movement housing 111 may be provided with a second fastening structure 1222, and the first fastening structure 1221 extends into the movement housing 111 and is in snap fit with the second fastening structure 1222, so that the adaptor housing 122 and the movement housing 111 are fastened and fixed in a snap fit manner, and the adaptor housing 122 and the movement housing 111 are directly fastened and fixed in a snap fit manner without using other limiting structures, which is simple and reliable. Wherein, the first fastening structure 1221 may be integrally disposed on the adaptor housing 122, and may be disposed two oppositely and at intervals in the thickness direction X; the second fastening structures 1222 may be integrally provided on the inner shell 1111 and disposed in one-to-one correspondence with the first fastening structures 1221.

As an example, in connection with fig. 7, the earphone 10 may include a flexible circuit board 16, and the flexible circuit board 16 may be at least partially disposed in the accommodating cavity 124 to be connected with the electronic component 15 and extend into the deck housing 111, so that the electronic component 15 is connected with the main control circuit board 13 through the flexible circuit board 16. For example: the electronic component 15 is soldered to one end of the flexible circuit board 16 by means of surface mount technology (Surface Mounted Technology, SMT), and the other end of the circuit board of the flexible circuit board 16 and the main control circuit board 13 are fastened by means of BTB connectors. The speaker 112 may be disposed to be connected to the flexible circuit board 16 on an extending path of the flexible circuit board 16, for example, a lead of the speaker 112 is soldered on a corresponding area of the flexible circuit board 16, so that the speaker 112 is also connected to the main control circuit board 13 through the flexible circuit board 16, so that the lead of the speaker 112 does not need to be extended to be connected to the main control circuit board 13, which is beneficial to simplifying a wiring structure of the earphone 10 and reducing a production cost.

As an example, referring to fig. 16 and 15, the adaptor housing 122 may be formed with a through hole 1251 communicating with the accommodating cavity 124 in advance, and the electronic component 15 may include an electrode terminal 151 at least partially disposed in the through hole 1251, and the electrode terminal 151 may be a flexible elastic member such as pogo-PIN or a non-flexible rigid member such as a metal column. Wherein, the aperture of the through hole 1251 may be larger than the outer diameter of the electrode terminal 151 so as to facilitate the subsequent attachment of the electrode terminal 151. Of course, the electrode terminal 151 may be integrally formed with the adapter case 122 in an insert manner. Further, the electrode terminals 151 may be oriented toward the ears in the worn state so as to be invisible in the worn state, which is advantageous in improving the appearance quality of the earphone 10 in the worn state.

It should be noted that: when the electrode terminal 151 is provided as a stretchable elastic member such as pogo-PIN, the extending direction of the electrode terminal 151 may be the stretching direction thereof; when the electrode terminal 151 is provided as a non-stretchable rigid member such as a metal column, the extending direction of the electrode terminal 151 may be the direction in which the axis thereof is located.

Further, the electrode terminal 151 may be provided in plurality according to actual use requirements, for example, for charging, detecting, and the like.

In some embodiments, the electrode terminal 151 may include a charging positive terminal 1511 and a charging negative terminal 1512 disposed at a distance from each other, and the charging positive terminal 1511 and the charging negative terminal 1512 may be disposed within the respective through holes 1251, respectively, so as to facilitate charging of the earphone 10 through the electrode terminal 151. Of course, the charging positive terminal 1511 and the charging negative terminal 1512 may be provided on only one of the switch case 122, and the other may be provided on the other case such as the battery case 123 in the hook structure 12 or on the cartridge case 1111.

In some embodiments, the electrode terminal 151 may include a detection terminal 1513 disposed apart from the charging positive terminal 1511 and the charging negative terminal 1512, and the detection terminal 1513 may be used to perform detection functions such as charging detection, insertion or extraction of the earphone 10 into or from a charging cartridge, and the like. Of course, the detection terminal 1513 may be replaced by an electronic component such as a hall sensor.

In some embodiments, the connection lines between the charging positive terminal 1511, the charging negative terminal 1512, and the detection terminal 1513 may constitute a triangle, for example, a regular triangle, as viewed in the extending direction of the electrode terminal 151.

In some embodiments, the charging positive terminal 1511, the charging negative terminal 1512, and the detection terminal 1513 may be arranged in a line segment, for example, in a straight line segment, spaced apart from each other as viewed in the extending direction of the electrode terminal 151. Wherein, the spacing between the charging positive terminal 1511 and the charging negative terminal 1512 may be greater than the spacing between the charging negative terminal 1512 and the detection terminal 1513. For example, the charge negative terminal 1512 is located between the charge positive terminal 1511 and the detection terminal 1513, and the spacing between the charge positive terminal 1511 and the charge negative terminal 1512 is greater than the spacing between the charge negative terminal 1512 and the detection terminal 1513; for another example, the detection terminal 1513 is located between the charge positive terminal 1511 and the charge negative terminal 1512. In this way, to increase the space between the charging positive terminal 1511 and the charging negative terminal 1512 as much as possible while the space for disposing the electrode terminal 151 on the relay case 122 is limited, it is advantageous to avoid a short circuit between both.

As an example, referring to fig. 15, the outside of the relay case 122 may be provided with bosses 126, and the through holes 1251 may further penetrate the bosses 126 such that the plurality of electrode terminals 151 are respectively exposed at the bosses 126. In this way, the part of the adapter case 122, which is uneven due to a certain curvature, is flattened by the boss 126 so that the electrode terminal 151 is disposed. Among them, the charging positive terminal 1511, the charging negative terminal 1512, and the detection terminal 1513 may be disposed at intervals in order along the length direction of the boss 126.

As an example, in connection with fig. 15 to 17, the hook structure 12 may include a magnet 127, the magnet 127 and the electrode terminal 151 may be exposed at the same side of the adapter housing 122, that is, both may be visible at the same side surface of the adapter housing 122, so that the magnet 127 is closer to the outside toward which the exposed end of the electrode terminal 151 faces, thereby shortening the interval between the magnet 127 and a magnet attraction structure for cooperation with the magnet 127 or the interval between hall sensors for cooperation with the magnet 127 in a charging device such as a charging cartridge, which is advantageous in improving the reliability of functions of charging, detection, and the like. Wherein the magnet 127 and the electrode terminal 151 may be adjacently disposed to allow the magnet 127 to be mated with a magnetic attraction structure in a charging device such as a charging cartridge, so that the electrode terminal 151 is mated with an electrode terminal in the charging device to facilitate charging. Accordingly, the boss 126 may protrude from the adaptor housing 122 around the magnet 127, that is, the magnet 127 may be lower than the boss 126 so that the electrode terminal 151 is in contact with the electrode terminal in the charging device such as the charging cartridge. Of course, in the embodiment in which the magnet 127 is fitted with the hall sensor for detection in the charging apparatus such as the charging cartridge, the magnet 127 is disposed adjacent to the electrode terminal 151, and the electrode terminal for fitting with the electrode terminal 151 in the charging apparatus such as the charging cartridge may be disposed adjacent to the hall sensor, which is advantageous in reducing the area for mounting the electrode terminal and the hall sensor in the charging apparatus such as the charging cartridge.

Further, the hook structure 12 may include a flexible coating 128, the flexible coating 128 having a hardness less than the hardness of the adaptor housing 122. The adapting housing 122 may be a plastic part; the flexible coating 128 may be made of silica gel, rubber, etc., and may be formed on the adaptor housing 122 by injection molding, glue connection, etc. Further, the flexible cover 128 may cover the adaptor housing 122 and the magnet 127 such that the magnet 127 is not exposed and the electrode terminal 151 is exposed, i.e., the magnet 127 is not visible and the electrode terminal 151 is visible. Thus, the use requirements of the electrode terminal 151 can be satisfied, and the magnet 127 can be shielded, so that the exposed magnet is prevented from being worn or the appearance quality is prevented from being affected. In addition, the flexible covering 128 may be advantageous for improving the comfort of the headset 10 in a worn state. Wherein the thickness of the flexible coating 128 is less than the thickness of the adaptor housing 122.

As an example, referring to fig. 16, the adaptor housing 122 may be preformed with a blind hole 1252 that is not in communication with the receiving cavity 124 to increase the waterproof and dustproof properties of the receiving cavity 124. Wherein the magnet 127 may be disposed at least within the blind hole 1252 and exposed through an open end of the blind hole 1252. Thus, the thickness of the adapter housing 122 in the area of the magnet 127 is reduced, and the appearance quality of the earphone 10 in the area of the magnet 127 is improved. Of course, the blind holes 1252 may also be provided as through holes.

As an example, in connection with fig. 15, a plurality of electrode terminals 151 may be arranged to be spaced apart from one another as one line segment, for example, one straight line segment or one broken line segment, as viewed in the extending direction of the electrode terminals 151. The magnet 127 may be located on either side of the line segment, or the magnet 127 may intersect the line segment and be located at least partially between any two adjacent electrode terminals 151. For example: the number of magnets 127 is one, and the magnets 127 are located entirely on one side of the line segment, or intersect the line segment and are located entirely between any adjacent two electrode terminals 151. For another example: the number of magnets 127 is two, one magnet 127 is entirely located on one side of the line segment, and the other magnet 127 is entirely located on the other side of the line segment. Also for example: the number of the magnets 127 is one, and a part of the magnets 127 intersects the line segment and is located between any two adjacent electrode terminals 151, and the other part is located below the electrode terminals 151 in the extending direction.

As an example, in connection with fig. 15, the plurality of electrode terminals 151 may include a charging positive electrode terminal 1511, a charging negative electrode terminal 1512, and a detection terminal 1513 arranged in one straight line segment. Wherein the magnet 127 may be located at one side of the straight line segment. Further, as viewed in the extending direction of the electrode terminal 151, the center of the magnet 127 has a first distance, a second distance, and a third distance between the center of the charging positive electrode terminal 1511, the center of the charging negative electrode terminal 1512, and the center of the detection terminal 1513, respectively, the third distance being greater than the first distance and the second distance, respectively, to preferentially ensure reliability of charging. Notably, are: in embodiments where the hook-like structure 12 is provided with the flexible coating 128, the flexible coating 128 may be removed first for convenience in determining the relative positional relationship among the magnet 127, the charging positive terminal 1511, the charging negative terminal 1512, and the detection terminal 1513.

As an example, in connection with fig. 16 to 18, the electronic component 15 may include an electrode terminal 151 and a microphone 152, and the relay case 122 may be preformed with a through hole 1251 and a through hole 1253 communicating with the accommodating chamber 124, respectively. Here, the through-hole 1251 and the through-hole 1253 may be located on different sidewalls of the adaptor housing 122 due to different roles of the electrode terminal 151 and the microphone 152. Based on this, the electrode terminal 151 may be at least partially disposed within the through-hole 1251, and the microphone 152 may be disposed within the receiving chamber 124 and pick up sounds (e.g., user's voice, environmental sounds) outside the earphone 10 via the through-hole 1253. In this way, by reasonably arranging the relative positions of the electrode terminals 151 and the microphones 152, the space of the accommodating chamber 124 is fully utilized, and the structure of the earphone 10 is therefore more compact and small. Further, the earphone 10 may include a support member 17 at least partially disposed in the receiving chamber 124, and the support member 17 may support and fix the electrode terminal 151 and the microphone 152 on the sidewalls of the through-holes 1251 and 1253, respectively. In this way, not only is it advantageous to avoid separation of the electrode terminals 151 and the microphone 152 from the adapter housing 122, but also it is advantageous to increase the waterproof and dustproof properties of the electronic component 15, and the structure is simple and reliable.

As an example, referring to fig. 18, the flexible circuit board 16 may include a first circuit board portion 161, a second circuit board portion 162, and a third circuit board portion 163 of an integral structure, the electrode terminal 151 is welded to the first circuit board portion 161, the second circuit board portion 162 is bent with respect to the first circuit board portion 161, the microphone 152 is welded to the third circuit board portion 163, and is bent with respect to the second circuit board portion 162. In other words, after the flexible circuit board 16 is bent twice, the first circuit board portion 161, the second circuit board portion 162 and the third circuit board portion 163 may correspond to three adjacent faces of the hexahedral structure. One end of the second circuit board 162 away from the third circuit board 163 is connected to the first circuit board 161, and the other part is not connected to the first circuit board 161. In this way, after the flexible circuit board 16 and the electrode terminals 151 and the microphone 152 thereon are assembled in the adapter housing 122, the operator is allowed to press the end of the second circuit board 162 connected to the first circuit board 161 as much as possible flush with the first circuit board 161 to avoid the support assembly 17 to be assembled later.

In some embodiments, the adaptor housing 122 may include two housings having split surfaces perpendicular to the extending direction of the electrode terminals 151, and the two housings are fastened to each other to form the receiving cavity 124. The support assembly 17 may be integrally formed with one of the cases to support (or press) the electrode terminal 151 and the microphone 152, respectively, when the two housings are fastened. Or at least one of the first support for supporting the electrode terminal 151 and the second support for supporting the microphone 152 in the support assembly 17 may be independent of the adaptor housing 122 to support (or press) the electrode terminal 151 and the microphone 152, respectively, when the two housings are fastened, or the support assembly 17 may be assembled to support (or press) the electrode terminal 151 and the microphone 152, respectively, after the two housings are fastened.

In some embodiments, at least the portion of adapter housing 122 corresponding to receiving cavity 124 is a complete housing structure. Wherein at least a first support member of the support assembly 17 for supporting the electrode terminal 151 and a second support member for supporting the microphone 152 may be independent of the adaptor housing 122 to at least facilitate assembly of the electrode terminal 151.

Illustratively, in connection with fig. 18, the support assembly 17 may be independent of the adaptor housing 122 and inserted into the receiving cavity 124. In this way, the support assembly 17, the electrode terminal 151 and the microphone 152 can be assembled separately from the adaptor housing 122 according to a certain sequence, which is beneficial to avoiding unnecessary interference in structure and improving the assembly efficiency.

In some embodiments, the first support for supporting the electrode terminal 151 and the second support for supporting the microphone 152 in the support assembly 17 may be independent of the adaptor housing 122, respectively, that is, the first support and the second support are independent of each other to support (or press) the electrode terminal 151 and the microphone 152, respectively. In this way, to allow the differential design of the first and second supports in the support assembly 17 according to the actual needs.

In some embodiments, the support assembly 17 may be an integrally formed structure, that is, the first support for supporting the electrode terminal 151 and the second support for supporting the microphone 152 in the support assembly 17 are connected to each other, which is advantageous not only in simplifying the structure of the support assembly 17, but also in avoiding that the first support and the second support are too small to be assembled. The supporting component 17 can be tightly matched and fixed with the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 124 after being inserted in place, namely, the supporting component 17 has certain damping in the process of inserting or extracting, and the structure is simple and reliable. Accordingly, the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 124 may be provided with a guide groove and a limit groove matched with the support assembly 17. Of course, the supporting component 17 may be further glued to the wall of the accommodating cavity 124 by means of a glue dispensing process.

As an example, referring to fig. 17 and 18, at least part of the support member 17 and the receiving chamber 124 may be sized to be tapered in at least one reference direction perpendicular to an insertion direction (e.g., a direction indicated by an arrow in fig. 17 and 18) of the support member 17 with respect to the receiving chamber 124 so that the support member 17 protrudes into a spaced area between the electrode terminal 151 and the microphone 152. In other words, at least part of the supporting component 17 may be configured to taper in at least one reference direction perpendicular to the insertion direction, and at least part of the accommodating cavity 124 may be configured to taper in the same reference direction, with the same or similar trend of variation, so as to facilitate the tight fitting of the supporting component 17 with the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 124 after the supporting component is inserted in place.

As an example, in connection with fig. 16 to 18, the chamber walls of the receiving chamber 124 may include first and second chamber walls 1241 and 1242 disposed side by side and spaced apart from each other, and a third chamber wall 1243 connecting the first and second chamber walls 1241 and 1242. Wherein the through-hole 1251 may be provided on the first cavity wall 1241 and the through-hole 1253 may be provided on the third cavity wall 1243. Accordingly, the support assembly 17 may include a bottom plate 171 and a first side plate 172 connected to the bottom plate 171, for example, in an L-shaped structure. Wherein one main surface of the bottom plate 171 may be disposed opposite to the first cavity wall 1241 and support the electrode terminal 151; one major surface of the first side plate 172 may be disposed opposite the third cavity wall 1243 and support the microphone 152. In this way, after the electrode terminal 151 and the microphone 152 are assembled in place, the support member 17 is inserted into the receiving cavity 124 in the above-described insertion direction and then inserted in place, so that the electrode terminal 151 and the microphone 152 can be supported by the bottom plate 171 and the first side plate 172, respectively.

Further, the front projection of the microphone 152 on the first cavity wall 1241 may cover at least part of the electrode terminal 151, for example, the microphone 152 covers a part of the charging positive terminal 1511, which is advantageous for a more compact structure of each part.

In some embodiments, at least part of the bottom plate 171 and the receiving chamber 124 may be provided with a size in the first reference direction RD1 perpendicular to the insertion direction and parallel to the one side main surface of the bottom plate 171, which is gradually smaller in the insertion direction, that is, one of the front end and the rear end of the bottom plate 171 in the insertion direction or a part between the front end and the rear end may be provided with a size in the first reference direction RD1 unchanged in the insertion direction. Wherein the first side plate 172 and the receiving chamber 124 may be sized in the second reference direction RD2 perpendicular to the insertion direction and parallel to the one main surface of the first side plate 172 to remain unchanged along the insertion direction.

In some embodiments, at least part of the first side plate 172 and the receiving chamber 124 may be provided with a size in the second reference direction RD2 perpendicular to the insertion direction and parallel to the one side main surface of the first side plate 172, which is gradually smaller along the insertion direction, that is, one of the front end and the rear end of the first side plate 172 or a portion between the front end and the rear end in the insertion direction may be provided with a size in the second reference direction RD2 unchanged along the insertion direction. Wherein the dimensions of the bottom plate 171 and the receiving chamber 124 in the first reference direction RD1 perpendicular to the above-described insertion direction and parallel to the one main surface of the bottom plate 171 may be set to remain unchanged along the above-described insertion direction.

In some embodiments, at least a portion of the first side plate 172 and the receiving cavity 124 may be sized to be tapered along the insertion direction in the second reference direction RD2 perpendicular to the insertion direction and parallel to the one side main surface of the first side plate 172, and at least a portion of the first side plate 172 and the receiving cavity 124 may be sized to be tapered along the insertion direction in the second reference direction RD2 perpendicular to the insertion direction and parallel to the one side main surface of the first side plate 172.

It should be noted that: for the support assembly 17, the dimension of the bottom plate 171 in the first reference direction RD1 may be simply considered as the width of the bottom plate 171, and the dimension of the first side plate 172 in the second reference direction RD2 may be simply considered as the height of the first side plate 172.

As an example, referring to fig. 16 to 18, the support assembly 17 may include a second side plate 173 connected to the bottom plate 171, the second side plate 173 and the first side plate 172 being disposed at the same side of the bottom plate 171 side by side and spaced apart from each other, the second side plate 173 abutting against a second cavity wall 1242 to provide the bottom plate 171 with a supporting force toward the electrode terminal 151, which is advantageous in improving a supporting effect of the support assembly 17 on the electrode terminal 151. In the embodiment in which the electrode terminal 151 includes the charging positive electrode terminal 1511 and the charging negative electrode terminal 1512 disposed at intervals in a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction, the second side plate 173 may be located between the charging positive electrode terminal 1511 and the charging negative electrode terminal 1512 so that the portions of the electrode terminal 151 are uniformly stressed, which is advantageous for further improving the supporting effect of the supporting member 17 on the electrode terminal 151.

As an example, in connection with fig. 16-18, the cavity walls of the receiving cavity 124 may include a fourth cavity wall 1244 connecting the first cavity wall 1241 and the second cavity wall 1242 and opposite the third cavity wall 1243. The first chamber wall 1241 and the second chamber wall 1242 may be disposed in a substantially parallel planar configuration, and the third chamber wall 1243 and the fourth chamber wall 1244 may be disposed in a substantially further-expanded cambered configuration, so as to expand the volume of the receiving chamber 124 as much as possible when the volume of the adaptor housing 122 is limited. Accordingly, the supporting assembly 17 may include a third side plate 174 connected to the bottom plate 171, the first side plate 172 and the third side plate 174 are respectively located at two side edges of the bottom plate 171 in a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction, and the second side plate 173 is located between the first side plate 172 and the third side plate 174. The third side plate 174 abuts against the fourth cavity wall 1244 to provide the first side plate 172 with a supporting force towards the microphone 152, which is beneficial to improve the supporting effect of the supporting component 17 on the microphone 152.

Further, the height of the second side plate 173 relative to the bottom plate 171 may be greater than the height of the first side plate 172 and the height of the third side plate 174, respectively, such that the second side plate 173 abuts the second cavity wall 1242 and the third side plate 174 abuts the fourth cavity wall 1244. Wherein the second side plate 173 and the third side plate 174 may also guide the support member 17 during insertion into the receiving cavity 124 since they are not directly in contact with any one of the electrode terminal 151 and the microphone 152. Accordingly, since the second side plate 173 is relatively highest in height, the support assembly 17 may include a reinforcing rib 175 connecting the second side plate 173 and the bottom plate 171. Wherein the reinforcing ribs 175 may be disposed at opposite sides of the second side plate 173 toward the first side plate 172 and the third side plate 174.

As an example, referring to fig. 15 to 17 and 9, the hook structure 12 may include an elastic wire 121, a switch housing 122, a battery housing 123, and a conductive wire 129, and both ends of the elastic wire 121 and the conductive wire 129 may be connected with the switch housing 122 and the battery housing 123, respectively, such that the conductive wire 129 extends along the elastic wire 121 and is penetrated inside the switch housing 122 and the battery housing 123. Of course, the wire 129 may be inserted into the predetermined threading passage after the elastic wire 121 is connected to the adapter housing 122 and the battery housing 123. The battery 14 may be disposed in the battery housing 123 and connected to the flexible circuit board 16 through the wires 129, so that the battery 14 is also connected to the main control circuit board 13 through the flexible circuit board 16, which is beneficial to simplifying the wiring structure of the earphone 10 and reducing the production cost. In other words, components of the hook-like structure 12 such as the electrode terminal 151, the microphone 152, and the battery 14 may be connected to each other by the flexible circuit board 16

Further, the flexible coating 128 may further cover at least exposed portions of the elastic wire 121 and the conductive wire 129, and at least a portion of the battery 123, so that the conductive wire 129 is exposed, which is advantageous for improving the appearance quality of the earphone 10.

It should be noted that: the adapter housing 122 may also be formed as part of the cartridge housing 111, for example, the adapter housing 122 is integrally formed with the inner cartridge housing 1111, and for example, a portion of the adapter housing 122 is integrally formed with the inner cartridge housing 1111 and the remaining portion is integrally formed with the outer cartridge housing 1112. The other parts of the hook-shaped structure 12 except the adapter housing 122, such as the end of the elastic wire 121 far away from the battery housing 123, such as the battery housing 123, are fixedly connected, such as by plugging, with the movement module 11 having the adapter housing 122 at the adapter housing 122. Accordingly, the electrode terminals 151, the microphone 152, the magnet 127, and other structural members are also adjusted in position, and thus, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Based on the above related description, the present application provides a housing assembly, where the housing assembly may include a plastic housing, a metal functional pattern disposed on an outer side of the plastic housing, and a silicone coating that may be integrally injection molded, glue connected, etc. to cover a side of the metal functional pattern facing away from the plastic housing and the plastic housing not covered by the metal functional pattern. Therefore, compared with the metal functional patterns arranged on the inner side of the plastic shell, which is away from the silica gel coating, the metal functional patterns are arranged on the outer side of the plastic shell, which is towards the silica gel coating, so that the metal functional patterns are farther away from the interference of other electronic components in the shell assembly, or are closer to the signal trigger source outside the shell assembly, thereby improving the anti-interference performance and the sensitivity of the metal functional patterns. The plastic housing may have the same or similar structure as the cartridge housing 111 or the cartridge housing 1112 thereof, and the silicone coating may have the same or similar structure as the flexible coating 1132, which will not be described herein.

The antenna pattern 1141 is disposed at the outer side of the plastic housing, so that the space between the antenna pattern 1141 and other electronic components in the plastic housing can be increased, i.e. the clearance area of the antenna is increased, thereby increasing the interference resistance of the antenna pattern 1141; the touch pattern 1142 is disposed on the outer side of the plastic housing, so that the distance between the touch pattern 1142 and an external signal trigger source (e.g. a finger of a user) can be shortened, i.e. the touch distance is reduced, so as to increase the sensitivity of the touch pattern 1142 triggered by the user.

In some embodiments, the metal functional patterns may include an antenna pattern 1141 and a touch pattern 1142, and the antenna pattern 1141 may surround the periphery of the touch pattern 1142 to fully utilize the space outside the plastic housing. The antenna pattern 1141 may be disposed in a U shape, and the touch pattern 1142 may be disposed in a square shape.

In some embodiments, the thickness of the silicone coating may be less than the thickness of the plastic housing to further increase the interference immunity and sensitivity of the metal functional pattern while the silicone coating shields, protects the metal functional pattern, and reduces the volume of the housing assembly.

As an example, the housing assembly may act as a cartridge housing that houses speaker 112. The relative positional relationship between the plastic case and the plastic coating may be the same as or similar to that between the cartridge case 111 and the flexible coating 1132, and will not be described here.

Notably, are: for electronic devices such as headphones and smart glasses based on the bone conduction principle, the speaker 112 may be adaptively adjusted to be a bone conduction speaker, and the basic structure of the bone conduction speaker is well known to those skilled in the art, which will not be described herein.

As an example, the earphone 10 may include a first type sensor 181 connected to the main control circuit board 13, where the first type sensor 181 may be configured to generate a corresponding electrical signal based on the operation of the earphone 10 by the user, that is, trigger the first type sensor 181, so that the main control circuit board 13 generates a corresponding control instruction to allow the earphone 10 to implement a preset function. In other words, the first type of sensor 181 allows a user to interact with the headset 10. Wherein the aforementioned operations may include any one of or a combination of single click, double click, long press, sliding, etc. actions; the control command may be used to realize any one or a combination of volume up/down, play/pause, next music, start/stop, etc. Further, the first type of sensor 181 may include one or more sensors, and the foregoing sensors may be any one or a combination of piezoelectric sensors, capacitive sensors, resistive sensors, photoelectric sensors, etc., and the working principle and specific structure of these sensors are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described herein. When the user operates the earphone 10, for example, when the user presses an area on the earphone 10 where the first type sensor 181 is disposed, only one first type sensor 181 may be contacted to generate an electrical signal, so as to generate a corresponding control instruction; the first sensors 181 may be simultaneously contacted to generate a plurality of electrical signals, and perform differential operation on the plurality of electrical signals to generate corresponding control instructions. Notably, are: the user touches a plurality of first type sensors 181 at the same time, for example, the first type sensors 181 at different preset positions are triggered, and for example, the first type sensors 181 (for example, two-in-one sensors of a piezoelectric sensor and a capacitive sensor) at the same preset position are triggered, which is beneficial to reducing the risk of erroneous judgment. Further, the earphone 10 may be provided with a navigation structure such as a protrusion or a depression at a preset position where the first type sensor 181 is located, so as to allow the aforementioned navigation structure to navigate the operation of the user, which is beneficial to improving the success rate of triggering the first type sensor 181 by the user.

In some embodiments, the number of headphones 10 may be two, and may be defined as a left headphone worn on the left ear and a right headphone worn on the right ear. Wherein, one of the first type sensor 181 provided to the left earphone and the first type sensor 181 provided to the right earphone may be defined as a volume up and the other may be defined as a volume down. For example: the first type sensor 181 disposed in the left earphone may be triggered to realize a volume up, and the first type sensor 181 disposed in the right earphone may be triggered to realize a volume down.

In some embodiments, the number of headphones 10 may be two, and may be defined as a left headphone worn on the left ear and a right headphone worn on the right ear. Wherein, the first type sensor 181 provided at the left earphone and the first type sensor 181 provided at the right earphone may be defined as cyclically adjusting the volume so as to allow the user to also realize volume up/down when wearing only either one of the two earphones 10. For example: the user only wears the right earphone, and the user can continuously trigger the first sensor 181 arranged on the right earphone when adjusting the volume, so as to realize the cyclic adjustment of the volume from the current volume to the maximum volume to the minimum volume to the expected volume. The first type sensor 181 disposed on the left earphone and the first type sensor 181 disposed on the right earphone may be defined as a short-press implementation volume decrease and a long-press implementation volume increase, or a short-press implementation volume increase and a long-press implementation volume decrease, or a single-click implementation volume decrease and a double-click implementation volume increase, or a single-click implementation volume increase and a double-click implementation volume decrease, which also allows a user to implement volume increase/decrease when only one earphone 10 is worn. Of course, the number of headphones 10 may be only one.

Further, the first type sensor 181 may be disposed in a region where at least one of the deck module 11 and the hook structure 12 is not in contact with the skin of the user, so as to allow the user to perform corresponding operations on the earphone 10 in a wearing state, thereby implementing functions such as volume up/down, play/pause, next music, power on/off, and the like. For example: the user triggers the first type of sensor 181 on the outside face OS side; for another example: the user activates the first type sensor 181 on the side of the connection surface connecting the inside IS and outside OS surfaces. When the user triggers the first sensor 181 on the side of the connection surface, the first sensor 181 may be located on the side of the connection surface facing away from the external auditory meatus, or may be located on the side of the connection surface facing toward the external auditory meatus, or may be located on the side of the connection surface facing away from the brain in the wearing state. Of course, the first type sensor 181 may also be disposed in a region where at least one of the deck module 11 and the hook structure 12 contacts the skin of the user, or in a region where at least one of the deck module 11 and the hook structure 12 faces the skin of the user, so as to allow the user to perform corresponding operations on the earphone 10 in the non-wearing state, for example, to achieve power on/off. For example: the user activates the first type of sensor 181 on the inboard IS side. The first type of sensor 181 may be fixed at a predetermined position by means of a glue such as a double sided tape, a glue, or may be formed at a predetermined position by a laser direct structuring technique.

As an example, the first type sensor 181 may be provided on the deck module 11, for example, the first type sensor 181 is provided inside the deck housing 111, and for example, the first type sensor 181 is provided outside the deck housing 111 and covered with a coating such as the flexible coating 1132. So set up, because the volume of core module 11 is great, be favorable to setting up more, the bigger first type sensor 181 of area of quantity, and then promote the user and trigger the success rate of first type sensor 181 under wearing the state.

In some embodiments, the cartridge case 111 may be provided with an acoustic hole, where the acoustic hole may include at least one of a pressure release hole 111c and an acoustic hole 111d, and the first type sensor 181 may be staggered from the acoustic hole, which is beneficial to increasing the flexibility of setting the first type sensor 181 and reducing the difficulty of fixing the first type sensor 181. The first type sensor 181 may be disposed on the inner shell 1111, for example, the first type sensor 181 may be disposed on the first side wall 1114 and offset from the acoustic hole. Further, the first type sensor 181 may be located inside the deck housing 111 or may be located outside the deck housing 111. based on this, and in conjunction with fig. 10 and 2, the first type sensor 181 may be disposed at least one of the first preset position PL1, the second preset position PL2, the third preset position PL3, the fourth preset position PL4, the fifth preset position PL5, and the sixth preset position PL 6. the first preset position PL1 may be located on a side of the pressure release hole 111c near the connection end CE, the second preset position PL2 may be located on a side of the sound adjustment hole 111d near the connection end CE, the third preset position PL3 may be located on a side of the pressure release hole 111c away from the bottom wall 1113, the fourth preset position PL4 may be located on a side of the sound adjustment hole 111d away from the bottom wall 1113, the fifth preset position PL5 may be located on a side of the sound adjustment hole 111d near the free end FE, and the sixth preset position PL6 may be located between the pressure release hole 111c and the sound adjustment hole 111d in a direction around the thickness direction X. Notably, are: when the movement module 11 is configured in a rounded square, a rounded rectangle, or the like, the first preset position PL1 and the third preset position PL3 may be at least partially located on the upper side surface US, the second preset position PL2, the fourth preset position PL4, and the fifth preset position PL5 may be at least partially located on the lower side surface LS, and the sixth preset position PL6 may be disposed opposite to the rear side surface RS in the length direction Y. Specifically, when the first sensor 181 is disposed at least one of the first preset position PL1 and the second preset position PL2, the user triggers the first sensor 181 to be more handy in the wearing state, for example, an external force shown by an arrow F1 in fig. 3 is applied to the earphone 10, which is beneficial to improving the experience comfort of the user to the earphone 10; Because the first side wall 1114 is relatively flat at the third preset position PL3 and the fourth preset position PL4, the first type sensor 181 is fixed, and the difficulty of the mounting process is reduced; because the first side wall 1114 is relatively flat at the fifth preset position PL5, and the area of the first side wall 1114 at the fifth preset position PL5 is relatively large, not only is the first type sensor 181 be conveniently fixed, but also a larger first type sensor 181 can be conveniently arranged, for example, the pressing area of a user is increased; since the free end FE can extend into the concha cavity in the wearing state, when the user triggers the first type sensor 181 disposed at the sixth preset position PL6 in the wearing state, for example, an external force indicated by an arrow F2 in fig. 3 is applied to the earphone 10, the movement module 11 can be supported, which is beneficial to improving a success rate of triggering the first type sensor 181 by the user, especially when the first type sensor 181 includes a piezoelectric type sensor.

In some embodiments, the cartridge case 111 may be provided with an acoustic hole, such as the pressure release hole 111c and the sound adjustment hole 111d, and the first type sensor 181 may be overlapped with the acoustic hole, so as to allow the acoustic hole to navigate the operation of the user, which is beneficial to improving the success rate of triggering the first type sensor 181 by the user. Wherein the first type of sensor 181 may be provided as a capacitive sensor and at least one of the above mentioned acoustic resistive mesh 118 and protective steel mesh may be part of the first type of sensor 181 or as a carrier for the first type of sensor 181. For example: the aforementioned protective steel mesh serves as an electrode of the first type sensor 181, or a metal layer serving as an electrode of the first type sensor 181 is formed on the aforementioned protective steel mesh to generate a first electric signal when a user does not contact the aforementioned protective steel mesh and to generate a second electric signal different from the aforementioned first electric signal when the user contacts the aforementioned protective steel mesh.

In some embodiments, the cartridge case 111 may not have acoustic holes, such as the pressure relief hole 111c and the sound adjusting hole 111d, that is, the number of acoustic holes is zero, which is advantageous to provide a larger number of the first type of sensors 181 on the first side wall 1114.

In some embodiments, only one acoustic port may be provided on cartridge housing 111, including one of pressure relief port 111c and sound adjustment port 111d, which is also advantageous for providing a greater number of larger area first type sensors 181 on first side wall 1114. Wherein the first type sensor 181 and the acoustic aperture may be disposed opposite each other, e.g., the first type sensor 181 and the acoustic aperture face away from and toward the external auditory meatus, respectively, in a worn state.

In some embodiments, only two acoustic holes, such as the pressure release hole 111c and the sound adjustment hole 111d, may be provided on the deck case 111, or other acoustic holes, i.e., the number of acoustic holes is greater than two, other than the pressure release hole 111c and the sound adjustment hole 111d may be provided on the deck case 111. At this time, the relative positional relationship between the first-type sensor 181 and one acoustic hole may be set first, and then the remaining acoustic holes may be set.

In some embodiments, the first type sensor 181 may be configured as a capacitive sensor, and the above-mentioned touch pattern 1142 may be provided as an electrode of the first type sensor 181, that is, the electrode of the first type sensor 181 is provided on the top wall 1115. With such arrangement, the top wall 1115 has a larger area, which is beneficial to not only arranging a larger number of first type sensors 181 with larger area, but also being beneficial to the user to trigger the first type sensors 181 in a wearing state. In addition, since the electrode of the first type sensor 181 is disposed on the top wall 1115, the size of the movement module 11 in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction X does not need to be increased due to the first type sensor 181, which is beneficial for the free end FE to extend into the concha cavity in the wearing state. Of course, the electrodes of the first type sensor 181 may also be disposed on the second side wall 1116, and the specific scheme is similar to that of the first type sensor 181 disposed on the second side wall 1116, which is not described herein again.

As an example, a first type of sensor 181 may be provided on the hook structure 12, such as the first type of sensor 181 being provided inside the adapter housing 122, and such as the first type of sensor 181 being provided outside the adapter housing 122 and being covered by a coating such as the flexible coating 128. So set up, because the first type sensor 181 does not occupy the position on the deck module 11, be favorable to setting up bigger speaker 112 in the deck module 11, provide better acoustic output performance, still be favorable to simplifying the structure of deck module 11. In addition, since the adaptor housing 122 may be formed with the accommodating cavity 124, the first type sensor 181 may be disposed inside the accommodating cavity 124, which is beneficial to simplifying the structure of the earphone 10. Further, since the flexible circuit board 16 may extend into the accommodating cavity 124, the first type sensor 181 may also be connected to the main control circuit board 13 through the flexible circuit board 16, which is beneficial to simplify the corresponding wiring.

In some embodiments, structural components such as electrode terminals 151, magnets 127 may be provided on the adaptor housing 122. Wherein the first type of sensor 181 may be located on a side of the hook-like structure 12 facing away from the skin of the user in a worn state so as to be triggered by the user. Further, and in combination with fig. 15 and 2, the first type sensor 181 may be disposed at least one of the seventh preset position PL7, the eighth preset position PL8, the ninth preset position PL9, and the tenth preset position PL 10. Wherein, in the extending direction of the electrode terminal 151, the seventh preset position PL7 may be disposed to overlap the electrode terminal 151; the eighth preset position PL8 may be located between the electrode terminal 151 and the magnet 127, and the ninth preset position PL9 may be disposed to overlap the magnet 127; the tenth preset position PL10 may be located at a side of the magnet 127 remote from the electrode terminal 151. Specifically, since the seventh preset position PL7, the eighth preset position PL8 and the ninth preset position PL9 are all closer to the accommodating cavity 124, the routing of the first sensor 181 is facilitated to be shortened; since the area of the hook-shaped structure 12 corresponding to the tenth preset position PL10 can contact the skin of the user in the wearing state, the hook-shaped structure 12 can be supported when the user triggers the first type sensor 181 provided at the tenth preset position PL10 in the wearing state, which is advantageous in improving the success rate of the user triggering the first type sensor 181, particularly when the first type sensor 181 includes a piezoelectric type sensor.

As an example, the earphone 10 may include a second type sensor 182 connected to the main control circuit board 13, and the second type sensor 182 may be configured to allow the earphone 10 to perform a preset function, such as wear detection, by determining whether the user wears the earphone 10 and generating a corresponding electrical signal. The second type of sensor 182 may include one or more sensors, such as a piezoelectric sensor, a capacitive sensor, and a photoelectric sensor, whose operation principles and specific structures are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described herein. Further, after the user wears the earphone 10, a second type sensor 182 is triggered to generate an electrical signal, thereby generating corresponding control instructions; or after the user wears the earphone 10, the plurality of second type sensors 182 are triggered to generate a plurality of electrical signals, and perform differential operation on the plurality of electrical signals, so as to generate corresponding control instructions. Notably, are: the plurality of second-type sensors 182 are triggered, for example, the second-type sensors 182 at different preset positions are triggered, and for example, the second-type sensors 182 (for example, two-in-one sensors of a piezoelectric sensor and a capacitive sensor) with different types are triggered at the same preset position, so that the risk of false detection is reduced.

It should be noted that: the following benefits may be provided by the earphone 10 for wear detection: 1) Extending the endurance of the earphone 10, for example, when the detection result is that the earphone 10 is not worn, the earphone is in a power-off or standby state; 2) The privacy of the earphone 10 is improved, for example, when the detection result of the earphone 10 is that the earphone is not worn, the audio file playing before is paused; 3) The earphone 10 is prevented from establishing a communication connection with a terminal device such as a mobile phone, a computer when not necessary, for example, the earphone 10 does not establish a communication connection with the aforementioned terminal device when it is placed in the charging box and the charging box is in an open state.

Further, the second type sensor 182 may be disposed at a region where at least one of the deck 11 and the hook structure 12 is in contact with the skin of the user, or at a region where at least one of the deck 11 and the hook structure 12 faces the skin of the user, to allow the second type sensor 182 to be triggered in a wearing state. For example: the second type sensor 182 IS disposed on the side of the inner side IS; for another example: the second type sensor 182 IS provided on the side of the connection surface connecting the inner side IS and the outer side OS, and the connection surface has at least a portion of the area in contact with the skin of the user or the area facing the skin of the user. The second type of sensor 182 may be fixed at a predetermined position by means of a glue, such as a double sided tape, glue, or may be formed at a predetermined position by a laser direct structuring technique.

As an example, a second type sensor 182 may be provided on the deck module 11, for example, the second type sensor 182 is provided inside the deck housing 111, for example, the second type sensor 182 is provided outside the deck housing 111 and covered by a coating such as the flexible slug 1131, for example, and for example, the second type sensor 182 is provided outside the flexible slug 1131 and covered by a coating such as the flexible coating 1132. So arranged, the cartridge module 11 has a larger volume, which is advantageous for arranging a larger number of second-type sensors 182 with larger area.

In some embodiments, the second type of sensor 182 may be configured as a capacitive sensor, and the cartridge inner casing 1111 may be part of the second type of sensor 182 or a carrier for the second type of sensor 182. For example: inner shell 1111 is a metallic piece and acts as an electrode for second type sensor 182. For another example: the cartridge case 1111 is a plastic member having a metal layer formed thereon as an electrode of the second type sensor 182, for example, the aforementioned metal layer is formed on the inner side of the bottom wall 1113. By such arrangement, not only is the overall structure of the earphone 10 facilitated to be simplified, but also the size of the electrodes of the second type sensor 182 is facilitated to be increased, thereby improving the success rate of triggering the second type sensor 182.

In some embodiments, the second type sensor 182 may be configured as an optoelectronic sensor, and the inner casing 1111 (e.g., the bottom wall 1113 thereof) has a light-transmitting hole corresponding to the second type sensor 182 or a light-transmitting region corresponding to the second type sensor 182 that allows light to pass therethrough. The second type sensor 182 may be disposed overlapping the speaker 112, for example, the second type sensor 182 is located in a front sound cavity formed by surrounding the speaker 112 and the inner shell 1111 and communicating with the sound outlet 111 a. So arranged, when the user wears the earphone 10, the bottom wall 1113 where the sound outlet 111a is located faces the skin of the user, and meanwhile, part of the area can be attached to the skin of the user, so that the second type sensor 182 can be triggered more conveniently and efficiently. Based on this, the second type sensor 182 may be configured as a two-in-one sensor of a capacitive sensor and a photoelectric sensor.

In some embodiments, it is contemplated that the flexible insert 1131 may extend at least partially into the concha cavity in the worn state, and thus the flexible insert 1131 may serve as a part of the second type of sensor 182 or as a carrier for the second type of sensor 182, facilitating a simplified overall construction of the headset 10. The second type of sensor 182 may be configured as a sensor such as a capacitive sensor, a photoelectric sensor, among others. For example: the second type of sensor 182 may be configured as a capacitive sensor and the flexible slug 1131 may be configured as a conductive structure, such as conductive silicone, to act as an electrode for the second type of sensor 182. For another example: the second type sensor 182 may be configured as a capacitive sensor, and the flexible slug 1131 may be formed with a metal layer as an electrode of the second type sensor 182, for example, the metal layer is located on a side of the flexible slug 1131 facing away from the cartridge case 111 and covered by the flexible cover 1132, which is advantageous for improving the sensitivity of the second type sensor 182. Also for example: the second type sensor 182 may be configured as a photoelectric sensor, the preparation raw material of the flexible insert 1131 is mixed with a functional material for generating a photoelectric effect to allow the flexible insert 1131 to be sensitive to light, and the flexible coating 1132 is formed with a light transmission hole corresponding to the second type sensor 182 or a light transmission area corresponding to the second type sensor 182 to allow light to pass through. For another example: the second type sensor 182 may be configured as a photoelectric sensor, and the flexible insert 1131 and the flexible cover 1132 are formed with a light-transmitting hole corresponding to the second type sensor 182 or a light-transmitting area corresponding to the second type sensor 182, so as to allow the second type sensor 182 to be disposed on the main control circuit board 13 and sense light through the light-transmitting hole or the light-transmitting area, which is beneficial to shortening the routing of the second type sensor 182. Based on this, the second type sensor 182 may be configured as a two-in-one sensor of a capacitive sensor and a photoelectric sensor.

As an example, a second type of sensor 182 may be disposed on the hook structure 12, such as with the second type of sensor 182 disposed inside the adapter housing 122, and such as with the second type of sensor 182 disposed outside the adapter housing 122 and covered by a coating, such as the flexible coating 128. So set up, because the second type sensor 182 does not occupy the position on the core module 11, be favorable to setting up bigger speaker 112 in the core module 11, provide better acoustic output performance, still be favorable to simplifying the structure of core module 11. In addition, since the adaptor housing 122 may be formed with the accommodating cavity 124, the second type sensor 182 may be disposed in the accommodating cavity 124, which is beneficial to simplifying the corresponding structure. Further, since the flexible circuit board 16 may extend into the accommodating cavity 124, the second type sensor 182 may also be connected to the main control circuit board 13 through the flexible circuit board 16, which is beneficial to simplify the corresponding wiring.

In some embodiments, structural components such as electrode terminals 151, magnets 127 may be provided on the adaptor housing 122. Wherein the second type of sensor 182 may be located on a side of the hook-like structure 12 facing the skin of the user in the worn state. Further, and in conjunction with fig. 15 and 2, the second type sensor 182 may be disposed at least one of the eleventh preset position PL11, the twelfth preset position PL12, and the thirteenth preset position PL 13. Wherein, in the extending direction of the electrode terminal 151, the eleventh preset position PL11 may be located between the electrode terminal 151 and the magnet 127, and the twelfth preset position PL12 may be disposed to overlap the magnet 127; the thirteenth preset position PL13 may be located at a side of the magnet 127 remote from the electrode terminal 151. Specifically, since the eleventh preset position PL11 and the twelfth preset position PL12 are both closer to the accommodating cavity 124, the routing of the second type sensor 182 is facilitated to be shortened; since the area of the hook-like structure 12 corresponding to the thirteenth preset position PL13 may contact the skin of the user in the worn state, it is advantageous to increase the success rate of the user triggering the second type of sensor 182, especially when the second type of sensor 182 comprises a piezoelectric sensor.

In some embodiments, the second type sensor 182 may be configured as a capacitive sensor, and at least one of the electrode terminal 151 and the magnet 127 may be part of the second type sensor 182 or a carrier for the second type sensor 182, which may facilitate simplifying the overall structure of the headset 10. For example: at least one of the electrode terminal 151 and the magnet 127 serves as an electrode of the second type sensor 182, or a metal layer serving as an electrode of the second type sensor 182 is formed on the magnet 127.

In some embodiments, the second type of sensor 182 may be configured as a capacitive sensor, and the elastic wire 121 may serve as an electrode of the second type of sensor 182, which is advantageous in increasing the electrode of the second type of sensor 182 and in simplifying the overall structure of the headset 10. Wherein the wires 129 may be covered by a shielding layer, which is advantageous for improving the tamper resistance of the second type of sensor 182. Further, since the shielding layer is also generally made of metal, it can also be used as an electrode of the second sensor 182 to allow the differential operation to be performed later.

In some embodiments, the hook structure 12 may not include the elastic wire 121, such as by using a hard plastic piece instead of the elastic wire 121. The parameters such as the material, length, and cross-sectional dimension of the hard plastic part can be designed according to the deformation requirements of the hook-shaped structure 12 in all directions. Based on this, the second type sensor 182 may be configured as a capacitive sensor, and at least one wire may be disposed in the hard plastic member, and the wire may be used as an electrode of the second type sensor 182.

In some embodiments, the second type sensor 182 may be configured as a capacitive sensor, at least the wire 129 of the elastic wire 121 and the wire 129 may be covered by a shielding layer, and at least one wire may be additionally provided in a side-by-side, winding, etc., manner, and the wire may serve as an electrode of the second type sensor 182. Wherein, different from the elastic wire 121, a certain elastic deformation capability is required, and parameters such as the material, the wire diameter, the length of the wire can be flexibly designed according to the electrode requirements of the second type sensor 182. Similarly, the aforementioned shielding layer may also serve as an electrode for the second type of sensor 182 to allow the aforementioned differential operation to be performed subsequently.

In some embodiments, the second type of sensor 182 may be configured as a capacitive sensor, the elastic wire 121 and the wire 129 may be pre-secured together by at least one sleeve, and the flexible cover 128 may encase the elastic wire 121, the wire 129 and the at least one sleeve by means such as an injection molding process, which may facilitate improved impact resistance of the elastic wire 121 and the wire 129. Based on this, the aforementioned sleeve may be a metallic piece and act as an electrode for the second type of sensor 182.

In some embodiments, the second type of sensor 182 may be disposed at the cover 1231, e.g., the second type of sensor 182 is disposed inside the cover 1231, and further e.g., the second type of sensor 182 is disposed outside the cover 1231 and covered by a coating such as the flexible coating 128. In view of the fact that cover 1231 and flexible coating 128 thereon can clamp the ear together with movement module 11 in the worn state, second-type sensor 182 may be configured as any one sensor or two-in-one sensor of a piezoelectric sensor, a capacitive sensor, and a photoelectric sensor. For example: the second type sensor 182 is configured as a photoelectric sensor and is located in the cover case 1231, and the cover case 1231 and the flexible cover 128 are formed with a light passing hole corresponding to the second type sensor 182 or a light passing region allowing light to pass therethrough and corresponding to the second type sensor 182. For another example: the second sensor 182 is configured as a two-in-one sensor of either or both of a piezoelectric sensor and a capacitive sensor, and is located outside the cover 1231 and covered by the flexible coating 128, which is advantageous for improving the sensitivity of the second sensor 182.

In some embodiments, the battery compartment 1232 is a metal piece and serves as an electrode of the second type sensor 182, which is not only beneficial to simplifying the overall structure of the headset 10, but also beneficial to increasing the size of the electrode of the second type sensor 182, thereby increasing the success rate of the second type sensor 182 being triggered.
