According to the suspended earphones and wearable devices provided by the embodiments of the present application, the earphone body is connected to the wearable component through a connector. People wear the wearable component on their heads. At this time, the earphone body is located at a relative position to the ear and is spaced from the ear, so that the earphone is suspended on both sides of the ear. This not only achieves the effect of people using the earphones, but also solves the head pressure caused by wearing traditional headphones for a long time, thereby improving the comfort of use. At the same time, it also helps to maintain the audibility of external sounds, which improves personal safety for people using it in outdoor activities. In addition, by suspending the earphone body on the ear for use, direct contact with the ear can be reduced, which helps to reduce the risk of health problems such as ear allergies.

In order to make the purpose, technical means and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical means in the embodiments of this application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by a person with ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which this application belongs without creative labor are within the scope of protection of this application.

As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 7 , the present application embodiment provides a suspension headset, comprising:

an earphone body 1, the earphone body 1 being disposed on the ear and spaced apart from the ear; and

The connector 2 includes a first connecting part 3 and a second connecting part 4. The connector 2 is detachably connected to the earphone body 1 through the first connecting part 3, and the connector 2 is detachably connected to the wearable part 5 through the second connecting part 4.

The suspended earphones provided in this application connect the earphone body 1 to the wearable component 5 through the connector 2. When people wear the wearable component 5 on their heads, the earphone body 1 is located at a position relative to the ear and is spaced from the ear, so that the earphones are suspended on both sides of the ear. This not only achieves the effect of people using the earphones, but also solves the head pressure caused by wearing traditional headphones for a long time, thereby improving the comfort of use. At the same time, it also helps to maintain the audibility of external sounds, which improves personal safety for people using the earphones in outdoor activities. In addition, by suspending the earphone body 1 on the ear for use, direct contact with the ear can be reduced, which helps to reduce the risk of health problems such as ear allergies.

It can be known that when using, the user can use one or two suspension earphones, and can select an appropriate number of suspension earphones for use according to different usage situations and usage requirements. When using one suspension earphone, it can be adapted to any ear position on the left or right; when using two suspension earphones at the same time, the two suspension earphones are mirror-set and adapted to the left and right ears respectively. For the convenience of description, the embodiment of the present application is described below by taking one suspension earphone as an example.

The wearable component 5 includes any wearable item worn by the user on the head or neck, such as glasses, a hat, a headband, a neckband, a neck hanger or an ear hanger, etc. The user can freely choose according to different occasions and activities.

Referring to Fig. 5 to Fig. 7, specifically, the first connecting component 3 includes a detachably connected first connecting portion 31 and a first matching portion 32, one of which is arranged on the connecting member 2, and the other is arranged on the earphone body 1; through the detachable connection between the first connecting portion 31 and the first matching portion 32, the earphone body 1 and the connecting member 2 are detachably matched, and when in use, the same connecting member 2 can be used to connect with different wearable components 5. Of course, in order to ensure the reliability of the matching between the connecting member 2 and the wearable component 5, a connecting member 2 adapted to the different wearable components 5 can be selected, and then the connecting member 2 is connected to the earphone body 1, so as to further enhance the user's experience.

The first connection part 31 and the first matching part 32 can be connected by snap-fit or magnetic attraction. When snap-fit is used between the first connection part 31 and the first matching part 32, the connection between the connector 2 and the earphone body 1 is achieved by snapping together with a structure such as a buckle; when magnetic attraction is used between the first connection part 31 and the first matching part 32, the connection between the connector 2 and the earphone body 1 is achieved by mutual adsorption between magnetic parts. Of course, the first connection part 31 and the first matching part 32 can also be matched with other structures in the prior art that can achieve detachable connection, and this embodiment does not limit this.

1 , the user connects the earphone body 1 to the connector 2 via the first connecting component 3, and connects the connector 2 to the wearable component 5 via the second connecting component 4, and then wears the wearable component 5 on the body. At this time, the earphone body 1 will be suspended at the ear position and spaced apart from the ear.

Referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 8 , the second connecting component 4 includes a card slot, which is card-connected to the sheet structure of the wearable component 5. At this time, taking the wearable component 5 as a hat as an example, the hat includes a brim and a cap, and the cap is formed by enclosing the sheet structure. The card slot can embed the edge of the cap inside it and be card-connected and fixed with the cap, thereby realizing the detachable fit between the connector 2 and the wearable component 5. In this case, the second connecting component 4 can be a component with a certain elasticity, and the width of the card slot at the top of the slot is slightly smaller than the width at the bottom of the slot, and the width of the card slot at the top of the slot is slightly smaller than the thickness of the cap. When the slot is matched with the hat, the top of the slot is first buckled on the bottom of the hat, and then the bottom of the hat is inserted into the slot and matched with the bottom of the slot. In this process, the width of the top of the slot will first increase and then decrease, so that the hat is clamped and fixed by its own elastic force, ensuring the reliability of the matching between the connector 2 and the hat.

Referring to Figures 7 and 9, of course, the second connecting component 4 includes a sleeve, which is sleeved on the rod-shaped structure of the wearable component 5. At this time, taking the wearable component 5 as a pair of glasses, the glasses include a frame and a pair of legs connected to each other, and the frame is also connected to a lens. The sleeve can be sleeved on the pair of legs, thereby realizing the connection and fixation between the connecting component 2 and the glasses.

The cross-sectional shape of the sleeve can be circular or rectangular, etc., and it can be adapted according to the structure of the mirror legs of different structural styles. This application takes the cross-sectional shape of the sleeve as an example for description, and both ends of the sleeve in the axial direction are open structures. The end of the mirror leg passes through the open structure at one end and passes through the open structure at the other end to achieve the connection between the sleeve and the mirror leg.

Of course, in order to ensure the stability of the relative position of the sleeve and the temple after they are connected, thereby ensuring the stability of the position of the earphone body 1, the sleeve is a component with a certain elasticity, and the diameter of the sleeve is slightly smaller than the diameter of the temple, which can ensure that the temple can be inserted into the sleeve and the stability of the temple and sleeve after assembly.

Referring to Figures 3 and 4, in some embodiments, the connector 2 can also be reciprocatingly bent in the height direction, and at least one groove body is formed perpendicular to the height direction. The groove body located at the end is the second connecting component 4, and a fixed connection is achieved by snapping the groove body with the wearable component 5. At this time, taking the wearable component 5 as a hat as an example, the groove body located at the end can be snapped with the bottom edge of the cap to connect the connector 2 to the hat. It can be known that the connector 2 can form multiple groove bodies by reciprocating bending in the height direction. In addition to being used for connecting with the wearable component 5, the groove body can also enhance the connection strength between the connector 2 and the earphone body 1, and can stabilize the earphone body 1 in a suspended state.

In conjunction with FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 , the first connecting component 3 is disposed at the other end of the connecting member 2, and the distance between the end and the bottom of the groove body connected to the wearable component 5 in the height direction can be adjusted. The connecting member 2 is made of a material with a certain elastic force, and the connecting member 2 can ensure the reliability of reciprocating bending and avoid damage during the bending process. The connecting member 2 can also move to a certain extent in the bending direction, thereby adjusting the height difference between the two ends of the connecting member 2. It can be known that the above-mentioned groove is formed at one end of the connector 2 and is used to connect with the wearable component 5, and the first connecting component 3 is formed on the other end of the connector 2 and is used to connect with the earphone body 1. By adjusting the height difference between the two ends of the connector 2, the height between the earphone body 1 and the wearable component 5 can be adjusted, so that the user can adjust the earphone body 1 to a position relative to the ear when using it. And when adapting to different wearable components 5, the use position of the earphone body 1 can be guaranteed, ensuring reliable use by the user.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 5 , the earphone body 1 includes a main body 11 and a coupling 12 that are detachably connected. The coupling 12 is configured to be connected to the connector 2, and the main body 11 is used to cooperate with the ear and realize the relevant functions of the earphone. Since the coupling 12 is used to connect with the connector 2, the style of the connector 2 may need to be replaced when adapting to different types of wearable components 5, so the connector 2 and the coupling 12 may need to be frequently disassembled and assembled, and there is a risk of damaging the connector 2 or the coupling 12 during the disassembly and assembly process. By detachably connecting the main body 11 and the coupling 12, it is ensured that when the coupling 12 is damaged, only the coupling 12 needs to be replaced, and there is no need to replace the main body 11, thereby reducing costs.

Of course, the detachable connection between the main body 11 and the coupling member 12 can adopt any connection method in the prior art, such as snap connection, magnetic connection or screw connection. In this embodiment, the main body 11 and the coupling member 12 are connected by magnetic attraction, which facilitates installation and disassembly between the main body 11 and the coupling member 12, and can also reduce the damage to the main body 11 caused by multiple disassembly.

Optionally, the coupling part 12 is provided in an annular structure and sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the main body 11, which can ensure the stable connection between the coupling part 12 and the main body 11, and at the same time, can ensure the minimization of the cost of the coupling part 12. The coupling part 12 is rotatably arranged relative to the main body 11 through the magnetic attraction, and a soft strong magnet is embedded in the coupling part 12. The soft strong magnet can be shaped and can be deformed according to the relative position of the coupling part 12 and the main body 11. In addition, by rotatably arranging the coupling part 12 relative to the main body 11, the coupling part 12 can be rotated according to the wearing angle of the wearable component 5 and the relative position with the main body 11, so as to be fixedly connected with the wearable component 5.

In conjunction with FIG. 12 and FIG. 13 , of course, in some embodiments, the wearable component 5 may also include a neck hanger or an ear hanger, etc. For example, the wearable component 5 is a neck hanger, which is directly hung on the neck of the human body, and the two ends are bent and extended toward the ears, and the headphone body 1 is connected to the end of the neck hanger. In this case, in addition to being detachably connected to the neck hanger, the connector 2 can also be integrally formed with the wearable component 5. In addition, when the coupling 12 is a ring-shaped structure, the connector 2 can also be a ring-shaped structure, and the connector 2 is connected to the side of the coupling 12 away from the ear, and is detachably connected to the coupling 12.

As an example, the first connecting portion 31 is arranged on the coupling member 12, and the first matching portion 32 is arranged on the connecting member 2. The first connecting member 2 may be a buckle, and the first matching portion 32 is a groove that is engaged with the buckle, and the connection between the coupling member 12 and the connecting member 2 is achieved by engaging the buckle in the groove. Of course, in order to ensure the reliability of the connection between the coupling member 12 and the connecting member 2, a plurality of first connecting portions 31 are evenly spaced around the coupling member 12, and a plurality of first matching portions 32 are also evenly distributed around the connecting member 2, and each first matching portion 32 is arranged corresponding to each first connecting member 2 one by one.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 13 , in summary, the suspended earphones provided by the present application can combine the earphone body 1 with different wearable components 5 without using a traditional headband or fixing device, and realize the suspended fixation between different wearable components 5, while also having the ability to be freely adjusted. According to the different usage requirements of the user, the wearable component 5 includes a hat, glasses, a headband, and a neckband, etc., which not only increases the versatility of the earphones, but also adds an element of fashion and style. In addition, the user can adjust the position and angle of the earphone body 1 according to personal preference to ensure the best wearing experience and listening experience.
