As described above, according to the present invention, the coupling protrusions 131a are formed on the earphone heads 131 and 131 'and the coupling recesses 111a are formed on both sides of the fixing body 111, The coupling protrusions 131a of the earphone heads 131 and 131 'and the coupling recesses 111a of the fixing bodies 111 are mated with the earphone heads 131 and 131' 131 and 131 'and the fixing body 111 can be more stably coupled by magnetic force and male and female coupling.

The present invention also improves the integrity between the earphone heads 131 and 131 'and the fixture 111 when the earphone heads 131 and 131' and the fixture 111 are integrated with each other, The earphone heads 131 and 131 'and the fixing bodies 111 may be formed to have the same hue to prevent a structural difference between the fixing members 111 and 131 and the fixing members 111, The shape, the shape, or the shape of the pattern.

1, the control unit 112 is formed integrally with one side, preferably the lower side, of the fixture 111 through an injection molding process, or bonded to both sides of the fixture 111, 131, 131 ') are combined, the overall bonding structure is formed to have a "T" shape or a "cross" shape. For the purpose of integrating with the fixing body 111, the fixing body 111 may be formed in the same hue or in a mutually coupled state to express one shape, shape or pattern. This can provide a more elegant and beautiful design.

The control unit 112 has a hexahedron structure extending downward from the fixed body 111 when worn, and a wireless communication module for wireless communication with an external device, for example, a portable terminal capable of wireless communication, . A circuit section for controlling the overall operation of the earphone device 10, for example, power supply and communication, is built in.

The control unit 112 may be coupled to the lower portion of the fixture 111 in a screw-tight manner so as to be detachable from the fixture 111, though not specifically shown. Accordingly, the control unit 112 can be easily separated from the stationary body 111 when the radio communication module and the circuit unit built in the control unit 112 fail or break, thereby facilitating the replacement of the control unit.

In addition, the controller 112 further includes an external speaker, so that the user can selectively output the sound provided from the external device through the earphone 13 and the external speaker. In addition, the control unit 112 may further include a mirror surface on at least one surface thereof, and may be installed to be rotatable about the fixing body 111.

The battery unit 12 has a built-in rechargeable battery. The battery unit 12 supplies internal power to the wireless communication module and the circuit unit built in the control unit 112 through the power lines 15 and 15 ' (131, 131 ') to supply internal power to speakers built in the earphone heads 131, 131'.

1, the battery unit 12 includes a first terminal (positive terminal) and a second terminal (negative terminal (-)).

The charging terminal portion 14 is formed with a coupling protrusion 14a which is male-female coupled to the coupling groove 12a formed in the battery portion 12. [ Accordingly, when the earphone is used, the charging terminal unit 14 functions as a connector which is connected to the battery unit 12 and connects the battery unit 12 to the power line 15 'and the earphone line 132' The external charging port 20 is disconnected from the battery unit 12 and functions as a terminal for charging the rechargeable battery built in the battery unit 12. [

1, the earphone 13 includes a pair of earphone lines 132 and 132 'connected to one side of the battery unit 12 and the other side of the charging terminal unit 14, earphone lines 132 and 132' And a pair of earphone heads 131 and 131 'which are connected to the main body 11 by a magnetic force.

The earphone heads 131 and 131 'are ear buds (or ear tips) to be inserted into a user's ear, and speakers are built in the earphones. Accordingly, the sound received from the external device through the wireless communication module built in the control unit 112, for example, the Bluetooth communication module, is received by the internal power supplied through the earphone lines 132 and 132 ' Output.

The earphone 13 may further include an ear cap 133 which is fitted in a front portion of the earphone heads 131 and 131 'and protects a speaker built in the earphone heads 131 and 131'. Since the ear caps 131 and 131 'are made of a relatively hard material, the ear caps 133 can cause ear pain when they are used for a long time by being pressed into the ear after being inserted into the ear. Accordingly, it is formed of a soft soft synthetic resin, for example, a silicone material, to minimize ear pain.

As shown in FIG. 1, the necklace-type wireless earphone 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention further includes protection caps C1, C2, C2 ', C3, C4 made of an insulating material in a tube structure. The protective caps C1, C2, C2 ', C3 and C4 are connected to each other through a connecting portion between the main body 11 and the power lines 15 and 15', a connecting portion between the earphone heads 131 and 131 'and the earphone lines 132 and 132' A connection part between the battery part 12 and the power line 15 and the earphone line 132 and a connection part between the charging terminal part 14 and the power line 15 'and the earphone line 132' (15, 15 ') and the earphone lines (132, 132').

FIG. 6 is a view for explaining an example of use of the necklace-type wireless earphone shown in FIG. 1, wherein (a) shows a state in which earphones are plugged into an ear, And the earphone head is fixedly coupled to the main body when the earphone head is not in use.
