Specific embodiment

In the following detailed description, with reference to forming part thereof of attached drawing.In the accompanying drawings, unless the context indicates otherwise, Otherwise similar symbol usually identifies similar component.The illustrative implementation described in the detailed description, drawings and claims Mode is not intended to be restrictive.In the case where not departing from the spirit or scope of subject matter presented herein, can use Other embodiments, and other changes can be carried out.

According to illustrative embodiments, " memory " line is used to ear cylinder being fixed to the ear of user and hangs microphone Bar reaches the mouth of user.This advantageous configuration is provided for microphone to be connected to the durable, minimum of ear cylinder , easily fabricated solution.Illustrative embodiments can have or not have ear cylinder, and can also be unilateral (single Sound channel) or (stereo) configuration of bilateral.

Traditionally, there are many loudspeakers and microphones to configure, for example, microphone be generally positioned at the end of sunpender and It is attached to rigid ear cylinder shell itself.Other examples include " linear type " (" in-line ") and are directly connected to audio cable Microphone.The wheat for being extended microphone boom towards user's mouth using rigid overmold (overmold) or shell Gram wind sunpender is also conventional.

Be connected to the microphone boom of ear cylinder shell by its weight and brush face or other objects tendencies it is direct Additional torque and power are generated on ear cylinder.These torques and power can be such that the sealing between ear canal and ear cylinder unclamps, this may lead It causes sound transmission to reduce and keeps user uncomfortable.According to illustrative embodiments, it is advantageous that make microphone boom from packet The length for the memory line being rolled on user's ear extends.When memory line is wrapped in the top and rear portion of ear, ear and head Play the role of constraint memory line in portion.More advantageously, the memory line for sunpender and tack is also easily deformed.This configuration and note The lightness for recalling line, which combines to limit, is transmitted to the torque of ear cylinder shell and the size of power when sunpender is mobile.

Traditionally, linear type microphone is simple and cheap, but not makes mouth of the microphone close to user, it is therefore desirable to more Big amplification factor transmits audible voice signal.The amplification factor is also exaggerated the noise in signal, therefore is to be not intended to Have.According to the illustrative embodiments being placed on microphone near the end of memory line sunpender, boom tip and microphone It can be positioned very close to the mouth of user, therefore need smaller amplification factor than linear type microphone.

In another conventional arrangement, the mouth of microphone towards user are prolonged using rigid overmold and shell It stretches.These increased the complexity of design and manufacture and costs.Rigid member also transmits the torque/force of higher boom motion, because They will not be bent to reduce the generated power for generating or needing when either intentionally or unintentionally moving sunpender.Stiff case and packet The position that moulded parts is also likely to be high cyclic strains on electronic component and electric wire is covered, therefore the product with this design can be shortened Service life.In addition, for example, stiff case and overmold can cause to vibrate along rigid body and sound is transmitted to ear Piece, such as example transmitted along microphone boom when microphone boom can rub another object.

Referring now to Figure 1, depicting the illustrative embodiments of earphone and microphone 100.Earphone and microphone 100 are retouched It is depicted as being coupled to the ear 120 of user 110.Earphone and microphone 100 include earphone 130, and earphone 130 has around ear The winding contour line 140 at 120 rear portion.In the exemplary embodiment, contour line 140 at least partially by flexible and Bending is kept to be suitble to the memory line of the profile of the ear 120 of user 110 to be constituted.It is coupled to line 140 for conductive line 150 And ear 120 is surrounded in a manner of identical with line 140.Line 150 may be coupled on line 140 or integrates with line 140.Line 150 will Signal transduction signal from earphone 130 to earphone 130 and conduction, and signal transduction is come to microphone 160 and conduction The signal of microphone 160.Microphone 160 includes near the flexible and removable mouth can be positioned on user or being stowed away Or it is alternately placed at the line of various positions.Clip 170 is coupled on line 150, and line 150 in microphone 160 for not making Used time will be on microphone clip to line 150.Using suchlike exemplary design, mentioned using simple light flexible curve 160 For simplified manufacture, to save cost.
