Abstract

A microphone (40) of a headset device is provided with a sensor support member (46) for supporting a convex portion (46B) in a state separated from a microphone housing (41) to transmit a vibration to a vibration sensor (47), wherein a plurality of circular members (46D1) with different diameters are formed at a support unit (46D) of the sensor support member (46).  The sensor support member (46) is made of an elastic material.  Thus, the convex portion (46B) (the vibration sensor) is in a floating state against the microphone housing (41).  Even in the case where a sliding vibration between an ear hook and an ear and the like are generated on the ear hook side, the support unit (46D) (each circular groove (46D1)) of the sensor support member (46) absorbs the vibration, so that the transmission of a vibration from the outside to the vibration sensor (47) is restricted.

As shown in FIG. 1 (a), the ear hook 20 serving as the main body is connected to the main portion 21A formed such that the left portion extends from the upper end to the lower end for a while, and the right portion is connected to the upper side of the left portion. The sub-part 21B extends from the upper side to the lower side and is thinner and shorter than the main part 21A. The main part 21 </ b> A and the sub part 21 </ b> B constitute the outer shape of the ear hook 20.
A bent portion that is folded back from the main portion 21A to the sub-portion 21B serves as a hooking portion 22 that is hooked on the user's ear. The right side portion of the main portion 21 </ b> A serves as the first contact portion 23 that hits the rear side of the opposite wheel from the ear ring of the ear. Furthermore, a second contact portion 24 is formed at the tip of the main portion 21A and extends toward the sub-portion 21B, and the tip has an arc shape. The first abutting portion 23 is formed in a convex curved shape so that the inner portion of the first abutting portion 23 comes in contact with the back side of the opposite wheel from the ear ring in a state where the headset device 10 is attached to the ear.
 前記イヤーフック20は、主部21Aの外側部分がABS(熱可塑性樹脂)で形成された硬質の外側部材21Cとなり、この外側部材21Cの内側が、例えばシリコンラバー(ゴム硬度(「JIS K 6253」に準拠)が40~50°)等の弾性部材によって形成された軟質の内側部材21Dとなる。前記内側部材21Dのうち外側部材21Cから突出した部分が掛止部22および副部21Bとなる。掛止部22が内側部材21Dによって形成されることにより、イヤーフック20の主部21Aと副部21Bとの間(矢視B方向)が広がることが可能となる。 The ear hook 20 is a hard outer member 21C in which the outer portion of the main portion 21A is formed of ABS (thermoplastic resin), and the inner side of the outer member 21C is, for example, silicon rubber (rubber hardness (“JIS K 6253”). Is a soft inner member 21D formed of an elastic member such as 40 to 50 °). Portions of the inner member 21D that protrude from the outer member 21C become the latching portion 22 and the sub-portion 21B. By forming the latching portion 22 by the inner member 21 </ b> D, the space between the main portion 21 </ b> A and the sub portion 21 </ b> B of the ear hook 20 (arrow B direction) can be expanded.
 さらに、イヤーフック20内には、図1(b)に示すように、電子部品が実装された基板30、バッテリー31等が内蔵される。さらに、イヤーフック20の外周面には、LED32、スイッチ33およびコネクタ34が実装される。これらの部品については、その機能の説明については省略する。 Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1B, the board 30 on which electronic components are mounted, a battery 31 and the like are built in the ear hook 20. Further, an LED 32, a switch 33 and a connector 34 are mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the ear hook 20. Description of the function of these parts is omitted.
 次に、マイク40の構成を、図3および図4を参照しつつ説明する。図3は、図2中の矢視III-III方向から見たマイクの断面図、図4は、マイクの分解斜視図である。
 マイク40は、図3に示すように、マイク筐体41と、このマイク筐体41内に収容されるマイク基板45、センサ支持部材46および振動センサ47を具備する。マイク筐体41は、円板状の底板42と、この底板42に開口部分が固定される蓋体43とを有する。この蓋体43は、蓋部43Aとこの蓋部43A外周から延びる筒部43Bとを有する。蓋部43Aの中央部には連通孔44が穿設される。
 マイク基板45およびスペーサ49は環状に形成され、マイク基板45には、振動センサ47に対して電気的な処理を行う電子素子が実装される。また、振動センサ47は、例えばコンデンサマイクからなる。
Next, the configuration of the microphone 40 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the microphone viewed from the direction of arrows III-III in FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of the microphone.
As shown in FIG. 3, the microphone 40 includes a microphone casing 41, a microphone substrate 45 accommodated in the microphone casing 41, a sensor support member 46, and a vibration sensor 47. The microphone casing 41 includes a disc-shaped bottom plate 42 and a lid 43 whose opening is fixed to the bottom plate 42. The lid body 43 includes a lid portion 43A and a cylindrical portion 43B extending from the outer periphery of the lid portion 43A. A communication hole 44 is formed in the center of the lid portion 43A.
The microphone substrate 45 and the spacer 49 are formed in an annular shape, and an electronic element that performs electrical processing on the vibration sensor 47 is mounted on the microphone substrate 45. Moreover, the vibration sensor 47 consists of a capacitor microphone, for example.
 センサ支持部材46は、ゴム材料或いは樹脂材料等の弾性材料によって円板状に形成される。このセンサ支持部材46の外周部分は、円板状の面に対して直交する上下方向に延びる環状固定部46Aとなる。中央部分は、マイク筐体41の連通孔44を介して外部に突出する円柱状の凸部46Bとなる。前記凸部46Bと対向する面、つまり突出する部分とは反対の面には、振動センサ47が収容される凹状のセンサ収容部46Cが形成される。 The sensor support member 46 is formed in a disk shape by an elastic material such as a rubber material or a resin material. The outer peripheral portion of the sensor support member 46 becomes an annular fixing portion 46A extending in the vertical direction perpendicular to the disk-shaped surface. The central portion is a columnar convex portion 46 </ b> B that protrudes to the outside through the communication hole 44 of the microphone casing 41. A concave sensor housing portion 46C for housing the vibration sensor 47 is formed on the surface facing the convex portion 46B, that is, the surface opposite to the protruding portion.
 凸部46Bは、支持部46Dによって環状固定部46Aに支持される。この支持部46Dには、凸部46Bから環状固定部46Aの間が波形形状(所謂、コルゲート加工)の断面となるように、径寸法の異なった複数の環状溝46D1,46D1…が形成される。この支持部46Dの各環状溝46D1によって、凸部46Bがマイク筐体41内に入り込み易くなる。
 センサ支持部材46は、環状固定部46A、マイク基板45、スペーサ49の順に蓋体43に収容され、これらの部材は、蓋部43Aと底板42との間に挟まれる形で、センサ筐体41に固定される。また、センサ支持部材46は、環状固定部46Aがセンサ筐体41に固定されることで、凸部46Bはセンサ筐体41から離間した状態で支持される。
The convex portion 46B is supported by the annular fixing portion 46A by the support portion 46D. In the support portion 46D, a plurality of annular grooves 46D1, 46D1,. . Each annular groove 46D1 of the support portion 46D makes it easy for the convex portion 46B to enter the microphone casing 41.
The sensor support member 46 is accommodated in the lid body 43 in the order of the annular fixing portion 46A, the microphone substrate 45, and the spacer 49, and these members are sandwiched between the lid portion 43A and the bottom plate 42 in a sensor casing 41. Fixed to. Further, the sensor support member 46 is supported in a state in which the convex portion 46 </ b> B is separated from the sensor housing 41 by fixing the annular fixing portion 46 </ b> A to the sensor housing 41.
 マイク40は、センサ支持部材46の弾性力によってマイク筐体41に対して凸部46Bが進退可能となる。また、支持部46Dは、その材質及び形状により、マイク筐体41からの振動が振動センサ47に伝達されるのを規制し、凸部46Bからの振動のみを振動センサ47に伝達する。 In the microphone 40, the convex portion 46 </ b> B can be moved back and forth with respect to the microphone casing 41 by the elastic force of the sensor support member 46. Further, the support portion 46D restricts the vibration from the microphone casing 41 from being transmitted to the vibration sensor 47 by the material and shape thereof, and transmits only the vibration from the convex portion 46B to the vibration sensor 47.
 V字状バネ60は、プラスチック等の樹脂材料、或いはSUS等の金属材料によって形成され、マイク40をイヤーフック20の側面に支持する部材である。このV字状バネ60は、図6に示すように、イヤーフック20の一方の側面に対して折返部61がイヤーフック20の内側(つまり、使用者の耳の付け根側)に向くように配置される。そして、ヘッドセット装置10を耳に装着した状態では、マイク40の凸部46Bが使用者の側頭部(側頭骨)の乳突部(図6中のC部)上に位置される。また、このV字状バネ60は、ヘッドセット装置10を耳に装着した状態にあっては、自然状態よりも両端が縮まった状態となるため、外側に向けて弾性力となる復元力が発生し、イヤーフック20とマイク40との間を広げる方向に発生する。 The V-shaped spring 60 is a member that is formed of a resin material such as plastic or a metal material such as SUS and that supports the microphone 40 on the side surface of the ear hook 20. As shown in FIG. 6, the V-shaped spring 60 is arranged so that the folded portion 61 faces the inner side of the ear hook 20 (that is, the base side of the user's ear) with respect to one side surface of the ear hook 20. Is done. When the headset device 10 is worn on the ear, the convex portion 46B of the microphone 40 is positioned on the milky protrusion (C portion in FIG. 6) of the user's temporal region (temporal bone). In addition, since the V-shaped spring 60 is in a state where both ends are contracted compared to the natural state when the headset device 10 is worn on the ear, a restoring force that is elastic toward the outside is generated. However, it occurs in a direction to widen the space between the ear hook 20 and the microphone 40.
<ヘッドセット装置の装着状態>
 次に、ヘッドセット装置10を耳に装着した際の状態について説明する。
 図5は耳にヘッドセット装置10を装着する状態を示した図、図6は耳にヘッドセット装置10を装着した状態を示す図である。
 ここで、図6に、説明に必要な耳の部位を示す。耳の上側が耳の輪郭を形成する耳輪M1、耳の下側が下側の輪郭を形成する耳垂M2、耳輪M1と耳垂M2との間が耳輪尾M3、鼓膜への延びる孔が外耳道M4、さらに耳輪M1の内側が対輪M5となる。
<Wearing state of headset device>
Next, a state when the headset device 10 is worn on the ear will be described.
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a state where the headset device 10 is worn on the ear, and FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a state where the headset device 10 is worn on the ear.
Here, FIG. 6 shows an ear part necessary for the description. An ear ring M1 in which the upper side of the ear forms an outline of the ear, an ear lobe M2 in which the lower side of the ear forms a lower profile, a ring ring M3 between the ear ring M1 and the ear lobe M2, a hole extending to the eardrum is an outer ear canal M4, and The inner side of the ear ring M1 is the opposite ring M5.
 ヘッドセット装置10を装着するに際し、イヤホン50側を第1当接部23から離す方向(図1の矢視B)にイヤーフック20を広げ、イヤホン50を外耳道M4に挿入すると共に、掛止部22を耳輪M1と側頭部との間に掛ける。第1当接部23を耳輪M1から対輪M5の裏側に沿うように宛い、マイク40を側頭部の乳突部上(図7中のC部)に宛い、さらに第2当接部24を耳垂M2或いは耳輪尾M3の裏側に当接させる。 When the headset device 10 is worn, the ear hook 20 is spread in a direction (arrow B in FIG. 1) away from the earphone 50 side from the first contact portion 23, the earphone 50 is inserted into the external ear canal M4, and a hooking portion. 22 is hung between the ear ring M1 and the temporal region. The first contact portion 23 is routed from the ear ring M1 so as to be along the back side of the opposite wheel M5, the microphone 40 is directed to the milky projection portion (C portion in FIG. 7) on the temporal region, and further the second contact portion. The part 24 is brought into contact with the back side of the earlobe M2 or the ear ring tail M3.
 この際、イヤーフック20の両端(主部21Aと副部21B)は広がった状態で耳に装着されるため、縮める方向に力が発生して第1当接部23を耳輪M1の裏側に押し当てる。さらに、V字状バネ60は、自然状態よりも両端が縮まった状態となっているため、外側に向けて(つまり、イヤーフック20とマイク40との間を広げる方向)に復元力が発生することになる。これにより、イヤーフック20の他方の側面が耳輪M1の裏側に押し当てられ、マイク40の凸部46Bが使用者の乳突部上に押し当てられることで、ヘッドセット装置10(イヤーフック20+V字状バネ60+マイク40)は、使用者の耳輪M1と側頭部との間に挟み込まれることになる。 At this time, since both ends (the main portion 21A and the sub portion 21B) of the ear hook 20 are attached to the ear in an expanded state, a force is generated in the shrinking direction and the first contact portion 23 is pushed to the back side of the ear ring M1. Hit it. Furthermore, since both ends of the V-shaped spring 60 are contracted from the natural state, a restoring force is generated toward the outside (that is, in a direction in which the space between the ear hook 20 and the microphone 40 is widened). It will be. As a result, the other side surface of the ear hook 20 is pressed against the back side of the ear ring M1, and the convex portion 46B of the microphone 40 is pressed onto the milk projecting portion of the user, whereby the headset device 10 (ear hook 20 + V-shaped). The shaped spring 60 + the microphone 40) is sandwiched between the user's ear ring M1 and the temporal region.
<作用・効果>
<ヘッドセット装置>
 このように構成されるヘッドセット装置10にあっては、イヤーフック20の掛止部22が耳輪M1と側頭部との間に挟まれ、V字状バネ60によってイヤーフック20とマイク40とが、V字状バネ60に発生する復元力を利用して耳輪M1と側頭部との間に押し付けられた状態で挟み込まれるから、当該ヘッドセット装置10は、Z軸方向、つまりヘッドセット装置10の厚さ方向における位置決めが確実に行われる。
<Action and effect>
<Headset device>
In the headset device 10 configured as described above, the hook portion 22 of the ear hook 20 is sandwiched between the ear ring M1 and the temporal region, and the ear hook 20 and the microphone 40 are connected by the V-shaped spring 60. Is sandwiched between the ear ring M1 and the temporal region using the restoring force generated in the V-shaped spring 60, so that the headset device 10 is in the Z-axis direction, that is, the headset device. Positioning in the thickness direction of 10 is reliably performed.
 また、イヤーフック20の形状を、耳輪M1と側頭部との間に掛かる掛止部22と、耳輪M1から対輪M5の裏側に沿って宛われる第1当接部23と、耳垂M2或いは耳輪尾M3の裏側に当たる第2当接部24と、を具備した構成としたから、使用者の耳に対して3点の接触点で確実に装着することができる。 Further, the shape of the ear hook 20 is changed to a latching portion 22 that is hung between the ear ring M1 and the temporal region, a first contact portion 23 that is addressed from the ear ring M1 along the back side of the opposite wheel M5, and the earlobe M2 or Since the second abutment portion 24 that hits the back side of the ear ring tail M3 is provided, it can be securely attached to the user's ear at three contact points.
 さらに、イヤーフック20の掛止部22を形成する内側部材21Dを弾性材料によって形成することにより、ヘッドセット装置10を耳に装着した状態で、イヤーフック20の両端(主部21Aと副部21B)が縮まる方向に力が発生する。イヤーフック20の一端側にあるイヤホン50は耳の外耳道M4に挿入されているため、自由端側となる第1当接部23が耳輪M1から対輪M5の裏側に、さらに第2当接部24が耳垂M2或いは耳輪尾M3の裏側に、イヤーフック20の縮める力で押し付けられる。これにより、当該ヘッドセット装置10は、耳に対してX軸・Y軸方向に広がる面における位置決めが確実に行われる。 Further, by forming the inner member 21D that forms the latching portion 22 of the ear hook 20 from an elastic material, both ends (the main portion 21A and the sub portion 21B) of the ear hook 20 with the headset device 10 attached to the ear. ) Force is generated in the direction of contraction. Since the earphone 50 on one end side of the ear hook 20 is inserted into the ear canal M4, the first contact portion 23 which is the free end side is further from the ear ring M1 to the back side of the opposite wheel M5 and further to the second contact portion. 24 is pressed against the back side of the earlobe M2 or the ear ring tail M3 by the force with which the ear hook 20 contracts. Thereby, the headset device 10 is reliably positioned on the surface extending in the X-axis and Y-axis directions with respect to the ear.
 このように、本実施形態によるヘッドセット装置10は、耳に装着した状態で、3軸方向の位置決めを確実に行うことができ、従来のものに比べ、フィット感を向上させることができる。また、使用者が激しい運動等を行う際に使用する場合でも、当該ヘッドセット装置10が耳に対して移動したり、脱落したりするのを確実に防止することができ、当該ヘッドセット装置10の信頼性を高めることができる。 As described above, the headset device 10 according to the present embodiment can reliably perform the positioning in the three-axis directions while being worn on the ear, and can improve the fit compared to the conventional one. In addition, even when the user performs intense exercise or the like, it is possible to reliably prevent the headset device 10 from moving relative to the ear or dropping off, and the headset device 10 can be prevented. Can improve the reliability.
 また、本実施形態によるヘッドセット装置10は、マイク40が耳の裏側に位置する乳突部上に位置するため、マイク40によって使用者のささやき音等も取得が可能となる。また、従来のマイクのように口から発声する音を空気振動で検出する場合に比べ、外界の雑音等を検出することがなく、音声のみを検出することが可能となる。これにより、ノイズキャンセラー等の回路構成が必要なくなる。この結果、パチンコホール等のように雑音の大きい環境であっても使用が可能となり、しかもノイズキャンセラー等の回路構成が必要なくなるため、送受信装置と共にセットとして販売する場合には、安価に提供することが可能となる。 Also, the headset device 10 according to the present embodiment can acquire a whispering sound or the like of the user by the microphone 40 because the microphone 40 is located on the milk projecting portion located on the back side of the ear. Further, compared to the case where the sound uttered from the mouth is detected by air vibration as in the case of the conventional microphone, it is possible to detect only the sound without detecting external noise or the like. This eliminates the need for a circuit configuration such as a noise canceller. As a result, it can be used even in noisy environments such as pachinko halls, etc., and it is not necessary to use a circuit configuration such as a noise canceller. Is possible.
 さらに、ヘッドセット装置10は、前述した如くに使用者の耳に確実に装着するため、従来のものに比べて圧迫感や痺痛感を低減し、使用者が感じるフィット感を向上させることが可能となる。 Furthermore, since the headset device 10 is securely attached to the user's ear as described above, it is possible to reduce the feeling of pressure and numbness compared to the conventional device, and to improve the fit that the user feels. It becomes.
<マイク>
 さらに、上述した本実施形態によるヘッドセット装置10では、マイク40が設けられている。このマイク40は、振動センサ47に振動を伝達する凸部46Bを、マイク筐体41から離間した状態で支持するセンサ支持部材46を有し、このセンサ支持部材46の支持部46Dには、径寸法の異なった複数個の環状46D1が形成される。このセンサ支持部材46は弾性材料によって形成される。このため、凸部46Bはマイク筐体41に対して浮いた状態となる。
 一方、ヘッドセット装置10が使用者の耳に装着された状態では、前述した如く、V字状バネ60の復元力によって、マイク40の凸部46Bが使用者の乳突部上に押し当てられて、ヘッドセット装置10(イヤーフック20+V字状バネ60+マイク40)が使用者の耳輪M1と側頭部との間に挟み込まれる。この際、凸部46Bはマイク筐体41内に押し込まれるが、この状態であっても、センサ支持部材46の支持部46Dによって、凸部46B(振動センサ47)は、マイク筐体41から浮いた状態で支持されることになる。
 また、マイク筐体41に対して凸部46BがXY平面上を移動する場合(つまり、図3中で凸部46Bが左右に移動する場合)であっても、環状溝46D1が変形することにより、凸部46Bがマイク筐体41から浮いた状態で支持される。
<Microphone>
Furthermore, the headset 40 according to the present embodiment described above is provided with a microphone 40. The microphone 40 has a sensor support member 46 that supports a convex portion 46B that transmits vibration to the vibration sensor 47 in a state of being separated from the microphone housing 41. The support portion 46D of the sensor support member 46 has a diameter on the support portion 46D. A plurality of annular portions 46D1 having different dimensions are formed. The sensor support member 46 is made of an elastic material. For this reason, the convex portion 46 </ b> B is in a floating state with respect to the microphone casing 41.
On the other hand, in the state where the headset device 10 is worn on the user's ear, as described above, the convex portion 46B of the microphone 40 is pressed against the user's milk projection by the restoring force of the V-shaped spring 60. Thus, the headset device 10 (ear hook 20 + V-shaped spring 60 + microphone 40) is sandwiched between the user's ear ring M1 and the temporal region. At this time, the convex portion 46B is pushed into the microphone casing 41. Even in this state, the convex portion 46B (vibration sensor 47) is lifted from the microphone casing 41 by the support portion 46D of the sensor support member 46. It will be supported in the state.
Further, even when the convex portion 46B moves on the XY plane with respect to the microphone casing 41 (that is, when the convex portion 46B moves to the left and right in FIG. 3), the annular groove 46D1 is deformed. The convex portion 46B is supported in a state where it floats from the microphone casing 41.
 このように、マイク40は、凸部46B(振動センサ47)がマイク筐体41から浮いた状態となっているため、イヤーフック20と耳が摺れる振動等がイヤーフック20側に発生した場合であっても、センサ支持部材46の支持部46D(各環状溝46D1)がこの振動を吸収して、外部からの振動が振動センサ47に伝達されるのを規制する。この結果、振動センサ47は、側頭部の乳突部からの振動のみを音声として採取し、ノイズのない音声採取を可能にする。 As described above, in the microphone 40, since the convex portion 46B (vibration sensor 47) is in a state of floating from the microphone casing 41, when the ear hook 20 vibrates with the ear hook 20 or the like occurs on the ear hook 20 side. Even so, the support portion 46D (each annular groove 46D1) of the sensor support member 46 absorbs this vibration and restricts the transmission of vibration from the outside to the vibration sensor 47. As a result, the vibration sensor 47 collects only the vibration from the milky head portion of the temporal region as sound, and enables sound collection without noise.
<変形例>

 要は、支持部46Dは、凸部46Bをセンサ筐体41から浮いた状態で支持すると共に、センサ筐体41側からの振動が吸収できる形状であればよい。
 また、前記実施形態では、センサ支持部材46の環状固定部46A、凸部46B、センサ収容部46Cおよび支持部46Dを弾性材料で一体形成した場合を例示したが、図9(c)に示すように、支持部のみを他の部位と異なった部材で形成してもよい。
