- an auricle 200 having a complex uneven shape caused by the shape of the auricular cartilage.
- the auricle 200 has a function of identifying the sound collection and the direction of the sound source. Further, since the external auditory canal 100 has a tube structure in which one end is open and the other is closed, the sound collected by the auricle 200 resonates in the external auditory canal 100 and becomes larger.
- the structure of the auricle 200 includes an auricle 210, an anti-auricle 220, a concha 230, and a tragus 240 in order from the outside of the auricle 200 as shown in FIG. 2.

- an attachment groove 321 for fixing the ear piece 600 is formed on the outer periphery of the ear canal insertion portion 320.
- the external auditory canal insertion portion 320 is disposed to be inclined backward (minus X direction) by a predetermined inclination angle ⁇ with respect to the center line C of the main body portion 310 in the XY plane (described above). Therefore, according to this inclination angle ⁇ , the end surface 601 of the ear piece 600 is cut obliquely so as to be parallel to the front surface of the main body portion 310. As a result, the contact area between the wall surface of the ear canal 100 and the ear piece 600 is increased, so that the ear piece 700 is more stable and sealed than the ear piece 700 having a straight cut as shown in FIG. It becomes possible.

- a stopper 1411 having a shape that protrudes at least a part of the back surface of the main body portion 1410 from the ear canal entrance 101 in the XZ direction is provided so that the earphone 1400 does not penetrate deeper into the ear canal 100 than necessary.
- the stopper 1411 blocks the ear canal entrance 101 and has an effect of sound insulation that blocks the sound incident from the outside.
- the sound output from the driver unit 1430 is not disturbed by noise from the outside and can maintain the sound quality. it can.
- the back surface of the main body portion 1410 does not need to be a flat surface that is flush with the concha cavity 232 and may have any shape. For example, as shown in FIG. May be attached.
- the user attaches or removes the earphone 1400 to or from the ear canal entrance 101, the user can smoothly perform the work by grasping the handle 1701.
- a cable 1432 for transmitting an audio signal from an external audio reproduction device (not shown) to the driver unit 1430 is a shielded cable.
- the audio output surface of the driver unit 1430 faces inward, that is, toward the back of the ear canal 100. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 16, the terminal for connecting the cable 1432 can be attached to the back surface of the driver unit 1430.
- the earphone 1400 does not have a sound collection function, and it is not necessary to consider the influence of sound disturbance caused by the cable 1432. That is, the entrance hole 1412 can be formed at an arbitrary position on the back surface of the main body portion 1410, and the cable 1432 can be inserted into the main body portion 1410. In the example shown in FIG.
- an inlet hole 1412 is formed at substantially the center of the back surface of the main body 1410 (stopper 1411), and the cable 1432 is pulled into the main body 1410 as it is to the place where the driver unit 1430 is located.

- the illustration of the earpiece is omitted.
- a small driver unit 1430 is disposed at the distal end of the ear canal insertion portion 1420. Since it can be arranged closer to the eardrum 102, high-quality sound can be provided with a smaller output (that is, low power consumption). Unlike the configuration example in which the driver unit 1430 is disposed in the main body portion 1410 as shown in FIGS. 14 to 16, the external auditory canal insertion portion 1420 does not need to be a sound conduit. However, as shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, the sound quality can be further improved by increasing the capacity of the back cavity 1431 by making the main body portion 1410 and the ear canal insertion portion 1420 hollow.
- the points of the earphone 1400 according to the present embodiment are shown below.
- the stopper 1411 may have any shape, and at least a portion that protrudes from the back surface of the main body portion 1410 exists.
- the external auditory canal insertion portion 1420 that also serves as a sound conduit is not perpendicular to the front surface of the main body portion 1410 but protrudes at a predetermined inclination angle.
- the external auditory canal insertion portion 1420 also serving as a sound conduit is disposed at the center of the front surface of the main body portion 1410 or at a position offset in the direction opposite to the direction in which the external ear canal insertion portion 1420 is inclined.
- the end face of the ear piece attached to the ear canal insertion portion 1420 is cut obliquely so as to be parallel to the front surface of the main body portion 1410 (see FIG. 6). See
- the earphone 1400 since the tip of the sound conduit reaches the vicinity of the second curve 104, the degree of sealing by the ear piece is increased, and the effect of blocking noise from the outside is further increased. In addition, since the degree of sealing by the ear piece increases and the sound conduit reaches near the front of the second curve 104, the eardrum 102 can be vibrated with less power consumption.
- FIG. 20 to 22 schematically show the configuration of an ear insertion device 2000 in which a binaural microphone and an earphone are combined.

- the driver unit 2040 is disposed at the distal end portion of the ear canal insertion portion 2020.
- the driver unit 2040 is composed of a magnet, a voice coil, and a diaphragm, and a diaphragm having a voice coil is arranged in a magnetic circuit composed of the magnet.
- the diaphragm is driven by a magnetic field generated in accordance with a voice signal input to the voice coil, and a sound corresponding to the voice signal is output by changing the density state with respect to the air in front of the diaphragm.
- the driver unit 2040 can be disposed near the eardrum 102 at the distal end of the ear canal insertion section 2020, so that high-quality sound can be provided with a smaller output (ie, lower power consumption).
- the ear canal insertion portion 2020 is a sound conduit, as shown in FIGS. 20 and 22, a cavity is provided in the ear canal insertion portion 2020 and the main body 2010 behind the driver unit 2040 so that the back cavity The sound quality can be further improved by increasing the capacity.

- the isolation part 2041 is made of a material with different acoustic impedance, such as resin, brass, or lead, and blocks sound propagation between the microphone unit 2030 and the driver unit 2040.
- a cable 2032 for transmitting an audio signal picked up by the microphone unit 2030 to the outside and transmitting an audio signal from an external audio reproduction device (not shown) to the driver unit 2040 is a shielded cable.
- the cable 2032 passes through the gap between the main body 2010 or the main body 2010 and the microphone unit 2030 from the opposite side of the sound receiving surface 2031, and the entrance / exit hole 2012 formed in the shield 2011. Is inserted into and out of the ear canal 100.
- the entrance / exit hole 2012 is preferably disposed below a horizontal line 2033 that passes through the center of the sound receiving surface 2031. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent an adverse effect that the cable 2032 hanging down touches the sound receiving surface 2031 and the sound input to the sound receiving surface 2031 is disturbed due to the influence of the cable 2032.
