Abstract
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a headphone, and more particularly, to an external acoustic listening headphone capable of simultaneously listening to surrounding people and living situations even when listening to a sound while wearing headphones.
According to the present invention, there is provided a conventional headphone which is connected to a portable device and converts a digital signal sent from the portable device into an acoustic signal that can be heard by a person, A main body having a built-in speaker for audio output of the content reproduced from the portable device; A cover plate coupled to a front end of the main body and capable of simultaneously opening or closing a center portion using at least one reflector so as to simultaneously or selectively listen to the output sound of the portable device and the surrounding external sound, .
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE
In recent years, various portable terminals such as MP3 players, DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) receivers, tablets, smart phones and the like (hereinafter referred to as "mobile devices Quot;) can be used to listen to music or watch videos without difficulty anytime and anywhere.
In order to meet the policy of etiquette culture settlement in public places with the tendency of miniaturization and lightweight of the portable devices, those portable devices are predominant in which external speakers for outputting sound are omitted.
For example, in a public place (facility) commonly used by the public, such as a subway, a movie theater, a library, etc., a recommendation is made to switch the ring tone of the mobile phone to vibration in order to block the cause of noise that may harm others In addition, various terminals capable of sound output are obliged to wear headphones (earphones, earphones, etc.) for listening alone by the owner himself / herself.
However, when the above-described headphone is worn on the ear, it is possible to prevent the risk of the damage caused by the noise according to the noise, but it is easy to concentrate on listening to music (output sound), while blocking the ear hole and ear hole I can not help but understand the voices of the surrounding people and the noise of life.
For this reason, traffic accidents caused by unrecognized noise due to traffic conditions such as the sound of a horn of a relative vehicle are frequently encountered, as well as a problem of inability to communicate with a companion or a vehicle occupant, There is no other choice.
In addition, in order to listen to a conversation with another person and listen to ambient sounds around the situation, it has been troublesome to consciously repeat actions such as turning off music played from a mobile device or dropping a headphone from an ear.
In order to solve these various problems, Korean Patent No. 10-783099 discloses a closed headphone having a microphone function for allowing a person to talk with another person or make a phone call while wearing a headphone Lt; / RTI >
1 is a front view showing the configuration of a closed type headphone having a microphone function according to the related art. The closed
According to the related art, a voice signal is provided through the
However, since it is necessary to control the control means 970 in order to listen to the external audio signal as described above, when the
Since the
An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a reflective plate for completely opening or closing a central portion of a headphone for listening to sounds output from various portable devices, So that it is possible to listen to the output sound at the time of multimedia contents reproduction even when the headphone is worn, and to listen to the ambient sound outside at the same time.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a sound output apparatus and a sound output apparatus which are capable of outputting sound of a main body which surrounds the periphery of the earlobe of a wearer and a speaker provided in the main body to be outwardly directed, So that the sound quality can be improved by inducing a resonance phenomenon through sound wave refraction.
In order to attain the above object, the present invention provides a conventional headphone connected to a portable device and converted and output a digital signal transmitted from the portable device to an acoustic signal that can be heard by a person, A main body including a speaker for sound output of contents reproduced from the portable device; A cover plate coupled to a front end of the main body and capable of simultaneously opening or closing a center portion using at least one reflector so as to simultaneously or selectively listen to the output sound of the portable device and the surrounding external sound, .
In addition, the main body includes at least one speaker, a volume control capable of rotating clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust the volume of the sound output through the speaker, A cushion part having a cushioning capacity to prevent inconvenience at the time of a physical contact when the cushion part is combined with the ring and the rear end contacting the wearer's skin, And a tapered end is formed at the outer end so as to cause a resonance phenomenon in a space formed between the cover plates.
In addition, the cover plate includes at least one of the reflection plates, and an opening is formed at the center of the cover plate so that the output sound of the portable device can be fully or completely shielded by the reflection plate, A reflector control ring which is formed to penetrate and is rotatably operated in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction for opening and closing operation of the opening in a state of being hinged around the outer periphery of the reflector, And a controller capable of reproducing contents of the portable device.
As apparent from the above description, the external acoustical listening headphone of the present invention is easy to listen to music (voice signal) outputted from various portable devices, and can communicate with surrounding persons without physically separating the headphones from the ear It is possible to secure safety against the risk of a traffic accident when wearing a headphone while riding a bicycle.
In addition, by eliminating the direct listening of sound, which is the main cause of hearing loss, by outputting the sound toward the outside of the wearer's body rather than flowing directly into the auditory canal (external auditory meatus) Especially, it is very beneficial for children to use, while the sound output is resonant in the space outside the auricle to add depth to the sound, so that you can enjoy the vivid sound that sounds like you are listening to music in a live performance hall. .
In addition, unlike existing headphones, which have a simple purpose of listening to sound, they can meet the consumer's purchasing desire of the younger generation with strong self-individuality through the manifold design characteristic of the center opening and closing structure using the reflector and reflector control ring It is a very useful invention that can contribute to the sales promotion competitiveness and the revitalization of related industries.
