Detailed Description

In the following description, reference is made to or as indicated in the accompanying drawings, which are merely for emphasis instead of limiting the description in which reference is made to the specific drawings.

Referring to fig. 3 to 5, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of the earmuff earphone of the invention, fig. 4 is a partially exploded schematic diagram of the earmuff earphone of the invention, and fig. 5 is a schematic side view of the earmuff earphone of the invention worn by a user. The earmuff type earphone 100 of the invention comprises a supporting structure 1, an abutting component 2, two earmuff components 3 and two broadcasting modules 4. The support structure 1 is an arc-like structure, the support structure 1 comprising two free ends 11.

The support structure 1 may have an abutment 12 at a substantially central position inside, and the abutment assembly 2 is fixedly disposed on the abutment 12. In practical applications, the abutment 12 may for example be in the form of a groove. In practical applications, the abutting component 2 may include an elastic structure (such as foam, elastic rubber, etc.), but not limited thereto.

In practical applications, the supporting structure 1 may have elasticity, when the user wears the earmuff type earphone 100 of the present invention, the supporting structure 1 may be operated to slightly expand the supporting structure 1 outwards, and then the earmuff type earphone 100 is worn on the head, and when the user wears the earmuff type earphone 100 on the head, the elastic restoring force generated by the supporting structure 1 due to the operation will make the two earmuff assemblies 3 hold the two sides of the head of the user, so that the wearing stability of the earmuff type earphone 100 can be improved.

Each earmuff assembly 3 is movably connected to the support structure 1, each earmuff assembly 3 being disposed adjacent one of the free ends 11, and each earmuff assembly 3 being operable to move toward and away from the adjacent free end 11.

Two broadcast modules 4 are disposed within the two earmuff assemblies 3. In practical applications, each playing module 4 contains all electronic components (e.g. loudspeaker, circuit board, microprocessor, bluetooth chip module, battery, port, etc.) required for playing audio.

As shown in fig. 4, the two free ends 11 of the supporting structure 1 and the abutment 12 together define a reference plane S1. When each ear cup assembly 3 is operated, a portion of each ear cup assembly 3 moves along a sliding path P, corresponding to a direction on the reference surface S1 toward or away from an adjacent one of the free ends 11. Wherein each slide path P is located on the reference plane S1.

As shown in fig. 5, when the user wears the earmuff type earphone 100 of the present invention, the abutment assembly 2 correspondingly abuts against the back brain of the user, and the supporting structure 1 is located in the horizontal direction of the head of the user (i.e. the front-back direction of the head of the user), the supporting structure 1 does not abut against the top of the head of the user, and the earmuff type earphone 100 of the present invention does not damage the hairstyle of the top of the head of the user.

As described above, when each ear cup assembly 3 is operated and moved relative to the support structure 1, the ear cup assemblies 3 will move relative to the user's head to a position close to the user's hindbrain or away from the user's hindbrain, and the user can adjust the two ear cup assemblies 3 to the appropriate positions according to the head shape and the ear positions.

It should be emphasized that, referring to fig. 2 again, the positions of the two ears U1 and U2 of the user with the plagiocephaly syndrome may be the situation as shown in fig. 2, that is, one of the ears U1 is relatively close to the back of the user's brain U3, the other ear U2 is relatively close to the nose of the user U4, and the two ears U1 and U2 are not located on the same horizontal line HZ.

Since the two earmuff assemblies E2 of the known earmuff type earphone E cannot be operated to move in a direction approaching or separating from the back of the user, and the supporting structure E1 of the known earmuff type earphone E cannot be twisted, if a user with the plagiocephalic syndrome wants to cover both earmuff assemblies E2 on the ears, the supporting structure E1 will be in a twisted state, which will cause the supporting structure E1 to be destroyed, even if the user cannot cover both earmuff assemblies E2 on the ears at all. Therefore, the known earmuff E is clearly not suitable for users of various head types, in particular users with a plagiocephaly syndrome.

As shown in fig. 3 to 6, when the user wears the earmuff type earphone 100 of the present invention, the support structure 1 is provided with the abutment member 2 at a position corresponding to the position of the user's back brain, and each earmuff member 3 of the earmuff type earphone 100 of the present invention is movably connected to the support structure 1, and the user can operate each earmuff member 3 as required to move any one of the earmuff members 3 forward (away from the back brain) or backward (close to the back brain) with respect to the user's head, so that the earmuff type earphone 100 of the present invention can be worn by the user with a plagiocephalic syndrome.

More specifically, when the user with the plagiocephalic syndrome shown in fig. 2 wears the earmuff type earphone 100 of the present invention, the user can make the earmuff type earphone 100 take the form shown in fig. 6 by individually adjusting the positions of the two earmuff assemblies 3 relative to the support structure 1, so that the two earmuff assemblies 3 can be securely wrapped around the two ears of the user.

Referring to fig. 6 to 11 together, fig. 7 is a schematic view of a partial support structure of an earmuff type earphone and one of earmuff assemblies according to the present invention, fig. 8 and 9 are exploded views of different partial components of the earmuff type earphone according to the present invention, and fig. 10 and 11 are two different side views of the earmuff type earphone according to the present invention.

Each earmuff assembly 3 comprises an earmuff 31, a housing 32 and a movable arm 33. The earmuff 31 comprises an annular portion 311 and a bottom portion 312. The annular portion 311 is disposed around the periphery of the bottom 312, the annular portion 311 and the bottom 312 together form a recess 313, the recess 313 is configured to receive the ear of the user, and the annular portion 311 and the bottom 312 can be used to cover the ear of the user together. The earmuff 31 is fixed to one side of the housing 32, the movable arm 33 is pivotally connected to the housing 32, and the housing 32 is operable to rotate relative to the movable arm 33 in a direction toward or away from the other earmuff assembly 3.

Further, the movable arm 33 includes a connecting portion 331, an exposed portion 332, and a pivoting portion 333. The supporting structure 1 may include a body 1A and a plurality of cover bodies 1B, the cover bodies 1B are detachably fixed on the body 1A, the body 1A is fixedly provided with two sliding rails 13, each sliding rail 13 is disposed between the body 1A and the cover body 1B and is not exposed outside the supporting structure 1, and the two sliding rails 13 are disposed adjacent to two free ends 11 of the supporting structure 1. Each slide rail 13 may be an arc-shaped sheet structure. Regarding the degree of curvature of the arcuate sheet structure, it may be designed according to the overall shape of the support structure 1.

The support structure 1 may further comprise two sliding blocks 14, wherein each sliding block 14 is connected to the connecting portion 331 of each movable arm 33, and the sliding blocks 14 and the connecting portion 331 together hold the sliding rail 13, so that the movable arms 33 can move along the sliding path P (as shown in fig. 4) relative to the sliding rail 13. In other words, each movable arm 33 can be operated to move in a direction approaching or moving away from the adjacent free end 11 along the corresponding sliding path P (as shown in fig. 4). It should be noted that, the connection manner of the movable arm 33 and the sliding rail 13 is not limited to the above description and the drawings, and the connection manner of the movable arm 33 and the sliding rail 13 may be changed according to the requirement as long as the movable arm 33 can move along the sliding rail 13.

When the ear cup assembly 3 is operated to move toward the adjacent free end 11, the ear cup assembly 3 will gradually move toward the other ear cup assembly (as shown in fig. 6), so designed that it will be ensured that the ear cup 31 will conform as much as possible to the user's head (since the head shape of a typical person tapers from both sides forward) regardless of which position the ear cup assembly 3 is adjusted to.

The exposed portion 332 of each movable arm 33 is not located in the support structure 1, but each exposed portion 332 is directly exposed (i.e., the user can directly see it by naked eyes), one end of each exposed portion 332 is connected to the connecting portion 331, and the other end of the exposed portion 332 extends to a direction approaching the free end 11 to form a pivot portion 333.

Each pivot 333 is pivoted to the housing 32, and each housing 32 is operable to rotate relative to the movable arm 33 in a direction toward or away from the other housing 32. For example, the pivot 333 may have a cylindrical structure, the housing 32 has a corresponding pivot structure (not shown), the housing 32 has a through hole 321 corresponding to the position of the pivot structure, and the pivot 333 is connected to the pivot structure through the through hole 321. Through making each casing 32 can be operated, with the design such as the movable arm 33 that connects with it rotates to the direction that is close to another earmuff subassembly 3, can let earmuff formula earphone 100 be worn, each earmuff subassembly 3 can be according to different user's head types, and the rotation of adaptability, and then can let earmuff subassembly 3 laminating the both sides of user's head better, from this, can promote user's wearing experience, and can also let the user obtain better hearing experience.

As shown in fig. 10 and 11, in one preferred embodiment, the shortest linear distance D1 between each movable arm 33 and the reference surface S1 may gradually increase from one end of the exposed portion 332 connected to the connecting portion 331 to the other end of the exposed portion 332, and each exposed portion 332 is disposed obliquely away from the adjacent one of the free ends 11. So designed, it will be possible for the person concerned to more easily operate the earmuff assembly 3, while the earmuff assembly 3 is relatively easy to operate for movement relative to the adjacent free end 11.

As shown in fig. 11, it is worth mentioning that in one embodiment, the earmuff earphone 100 may further comprise a microphone assembly 5. The microphone assembly 5 comprises a sound receiver 51 and a connecting arm 52, wherein the sound receiver 51 is disposed at one end of the connecting arm 52, and the other end of the connecting arm 52 is fixed in the housing 32. At least a portion of the microphone assembly 5 is operable to be received within the housing 32 of the earmuff assembly 3 to which it is attached. Preferably, when the microphone assembly 5 is accommodated in the housing 32, only the end portion of the sound receiver 51 is exposed out of the housing 32, and most of the sound receiver 51 is accommodated in the housing 32.

Referring to fig. 10 to 13, fig. 12 is a rear view of the earmuff earphone of the present invention, and fig. 13 is a front view of the earmuff earphone of the present invention. In one preferred embodiment, each of the exposed portions 332 includes a first section 3321, a second section 3322 and a third section 3323, wherein two ends of each of the second sections 3322 are respectively connected to the first section 3321 and the third section 3323, the other end of the first section 3321 is connected to the connecting portion 331, and the other end of the third section 3323 extends to one side to form the pivoting portion 333.

The distance D2 between the two first sections 3321 may gradually decrease slightly from the end closer to the second section 3322 to the end farther from the second section 3322; the distance D3 between the two second sections 3322 gradually increases from the end near the first section 3321 to the end near the third section 3323; the distance D4 between the two third sections 3323 gradually decreases from one end near the second section 3322 to the end of the third section 3323.

The distance between the two bottoms 312 of the two earmuffs 31 of the two earmuff assemblies 3 gradually decreases from the side closer to the abutment assembly 2 to the side farther from the abutment assembly 2, and the respective earmuff assemblies 3 are disposed obliquely.

As described above, since the width of the head of the general user is gradually reduced from the rear brain spoon forward, the designs of the exposed portions 332 and the earmuff assemblies 3 can greatly improve the fitting degree between the two earmuff assemblies 3 and the two sides of the head of the user, thereby further improving the hearing experience of the user.

Referring to fig. 14, a schematic top view of another embodiment of the earmuff earphone of the invention is shown. The most difference between this embodiment and the previous implementation is that: the earmuff type earphone 100A comprises three abutment members, which are respectively defined as a central abutment member 2A and two side abutment members 2B, wherein the central abutment member 2A is disposed adjacent to the center of the support structure 1, and the two side abutment members 2B are disposed adjacent to both ends of the support structure 1.

When the earmuff type earphone 100A of the present embodiment is worn on the head of the user, the central leaning component 2A will be used for leaning on the back brain of the user, and the two side leaning components 2B are used for leaning on the left and right sides of the head of the user, so that the comfort level of the user can be further improved.

In summary, when the earmuff type earphone of the present invention is worn on the head of a user, the supporting structure of the earmuff type earphone will be located on the back brain of the user, and the supporting structure will not press against the hair of the head of the user, and the hairstyle of the user will not be affected by the earmuff type earphone.
