Description

一种降噪耳机Noise canceling earphone 技术领域Technical field
本发明涉及音频设备的降噪技术,特别涉及一种降噪耳机。The invention relates to a noise reduction technology of an audio device, in particular to a noise canceling earphone.
背景技术Background technique
耳机是手机等电子设备最为重要的配件之一,在日常生活中的使用范围越来越广。在嘈杂的环境(公交地铁等交通工具上、机场、火车站等人流密集处),打电话、听音乐或看视频等时候,亟需耳机具有降噪功能,用来隔离、降低或消去外界噪声,提升用户体验。Headphones are one of the most important accessories for electronic devices such as mobile phones, and they are used in a wider range of everyday life. In noisy environments (transports such as public transportation, subways, train stations, etc.), when you call, listen to music or watch videos, you don't need headphones to have noise reduction function to isolate, reduce or eliminate external noise. To enhance the user experience.
降噪耳机,在现有的耳机插头与音频播放单元之外,还设置有降噪系统,其降噪原理分为主动降噪和被动降噪。被动降噪是用耳套罩住耳朵,加强耳机与耳道之间的声音密封性,阻止外部噪音进入。主动降噪则是通过采集周围环境的噪声确定其波型特点,通过内置的降噪电路产生一个与外界噪声同等的反相声波,再通过高还原度扬声器发送出来,对噪声进行抵消。所以在主动降噪的降噪系统中,通常包含拾音器、降噪电路、扬声器,每一个部分都要保证高质量才能达到最终的效果。Noise-cancelling headphones, in addition to the existing headphone plug and audio playback unit, are also provided with a noise reduction system, and the noise reduction principle is divided into active noise reduction and passive noise reduction. Passive noise reduction is to cover the ears with earmuffs, strengthen the sound tightness between the earphones and the ear canal, and prevent external noise from entering. Active noise reduction is to determine the characteristics of the waveform by collecting the noise of the surrounding environment. The built-in noise reduction circuit generates an inverted sound wave equivalent to the external noise, and then transmits it through the high-reduction speaker to cancel the noise. Therefore, in the noise reduction system with active noise reduction, it usually includes a pickup, a noise reduction circuit, and a speaker, and each part must ensure high quality to achieve the final result.
然而,如图1所示,主动降噪耳机的降噪系统,需要使用专门的电源,通常包含电池、电压转换与稳压的电路等,使降噪耳机的外形尺寸、重量和成本与普通耳机相比均有显著的增加,对用户使用耳机带来一定的束缚,携带也很不方便。电压转换电路等部件,进一步造成了降噪耳机结构的复杂化,导致零部件数量较多、不易大规模生产、成本较高。However, as shown in Figure 1, the noise reduction system of the active noise canceling headphone requires a dedicated power supply, usually including a battery, a voltage conversion and voltage stabilizing circuit, etc., so that the size, weight and cost of the noise canceling earphone are matched with ordinary earphones. Compared with the significant increase, it brings a certain restraint to the user's use of the headset, and it is also very inconvenient to carry. The components such as the voltage conversion circuit further complicate the structure of the noise-reducing earphone, resulting in a large number of parts, difficulty in mass production, and high cost.
并且,耳机本体内布置的电池,其容量有限,对用户使用耳机降噪功能的时间有很大限制,一旦电池没电了,耳机就会失去降噪功能。当前的解决 方案是在降噪耳机上设计开关,需要手动控制开启或关闭降噪功能,如果用户忘记关闭而使耳机一直处于降噪处理状态,就会很快把电池耗尽,续航时间较短,需要频繁更换电池或充电,操作复杂。Moreover, the battery disposed in the body of the earphone has a limited capacity, and has a great limitation on the time for the user to use the noise reduction function of the earphone. Once the battery is dead, the earphone loses the noise reduction function. Current solution The solution is to design a switch on the noise canceling earphone. Manual control is required to turn the noise reduction function on or off. If the user forgets to turn off and the earphone is always in the noise reduction state, the battery will be exhausted quickly, the battery life is short, and it needs to be frequent. Replace the battery or charge, the operation is complicated.
此外,降噪效果与环境噪音有很大的关系,不同频率的噪音,降噪效果也不尽相同,用户在公共交通、健身房等不同环境下使用降噪耳机时,对降噪效果的需求不同,而现有的降噪耳机的参数是在出厂前预先设定好的,降噪效果单一,无法根据用户需要调整,也不能与使用环境相匹配。In addition, the noise reduction effect has a great relationship with the environmental noise. The noise of different frequencies and the noise reduction effect are also different. When users use noise canceling headphones in different environments such as public transportation and gym, the demand for noise reduction effect is different. The parameters of the existing noise canceling earphones are preset in the factory, and the noise reduction effect is single, and cannot be adjusted according to the needs of the user, and cannot be matched with the use environment.

In an example shown in FIG. 3, the left channel portion, the right channel portion, the microphone portion, and the ground portion are sequentially included from the head. Electrical isolation is achieved through the insulating ring to prevent short circuit; the tail of the earphone plug 13 is provided with a coaxial disc-shaped base, which is made of an insulating material, protects the packaged wires, and also takes the earphone plug 13 Convenience.

On the control circuit of the electronic device 90, a left channel loop, a right channel loop, a microphone loop, and a ground loop are formed respectively, through the corresponding pins and the left channel portion, the right channel portion, and the microphone on the earphone plug 13 The part and the grounding part are electrically connected. The left and right channel loops cooperate with the ground loop to output the audio signal provided by the electronic device 90 to the earphone plug 13 to drive the speaker 40 in the earphone body 11 to emit sound.
麦克风回路与接地回路配合,利用电子设备90提供的驱动电源,为连接在耳机插头13的麦克风部、接地部之间的麦克风20供电;本发明中还使降噪系统的芯片及辅助电路连接在所述的麦克风部、接地部之间,利用外部电子设备90的驱动电源为其供电。图5中示出为降噪芯片30与麦克风20并联而获得供电的示例,但降噪芯片30也可以与麦克风20串联,或通过其他接线方式从麦克风20的线路处获得供电。The microphone circuit cooperates with the ground circuit to supply power to the microphone 20 connected between the microphone portion and the ground portion of the earphone plug 13 by using the driving power provided by the electronic device 90. In the present invention, the chip and the auxiliary circuit of the noise reduction system are also connected. The microphone unit and the ground unit are powered by the driving power of the external electronic device 90. An example in which the noise reduction chip 30 is connected in parallel with the microphone 20 to obtain power is shown in FIG. 5, but the noise reduction chip 30 may also be connected in series with the microphone 20, or may be powered from the line of the microphone 20 by other wiring means.
电子设备90的电源可以是由电池或电插头13等方式提供电能,还可以包括电压转换电路、稳压电路和整流电路等辅助性的电路,依照常规方式为该电子设备90提供工作电压和电流,并为降噪耳机的麦克风20、降噪芯片30等供电。因而,无需在降噪耳机上配置电源,有效简化了降噪耳机的设计,节省了整体的重量和体积,提高了便携性。The power source of the electronic device 90 may be powered by a battery or an electric plug 13 or the like, and may further include an auxiliary circuit such as a voltage conversion circuit, a voltage stabilization circuit, and a rectifier circuit, and the working device is provided with an operating voltage and current according to a conventional manner. And supplying power to the microphone 20 of the noise canceling earphone, the noise reduction chip 30, and the like. Therefore, it is not necessary to configure the power supply on the noise canceling earphone, which simplifies the design of the noise canceling earphone, saves the overall weight and volume, and improves the portability.
所述的麦克风20用来对噪声进行信号采集,降噪系统产生一个与噪声同等的反相声波输送到耳机本体11内的扬声器40,该反相声波被叠加到正常播放的音频信号上,对噪声进行中和。图6所示的降噪系统中,使用过滤模块过滤得到预设频率范围内的噪音信号,由频幅调整模块对噪音信号的频谱、幅度进行调整,由信号反相模块对噪音信号进行反相处理得到消噪信号,再 由信号叠加模块将消噪信号与正常播放的音频信号进行叠加处理,提供给扬声器40播放,利用消噪信号对原先的噪音信号进行抵消,以达到降噪效果。通过设置过滤模块筛选时使用的频率范围,可以对不同频段的环境噪音进行选择性的消除和屏蔽。The microphone 20 is used for signal acquisition of noise, and the noise reduction system generates a reversed sound wave equivalent to noise to be delivered to the speaker 40 in the earphone body 11, and the inverted sound wave is superimposed on the normally played audio signal, The noise is neutralized. In the noise reduction system shown in FIG. 6, the filter module is used to filter the noise signal in the preset frequency range, and the frequency amplitude adjustment module adjusts the spectrum and amplitude of the noise signal, and the signal inversion module inverts the noise signal. Processing to get the noise cancellation signal, and then The signal superimposing module superimposes the denoising signal with the normally played audio signal, provides the speaker 40 for playing, and uses the denoising signal to cancel the original noise signal to achieve the noise reduction effect. By setting the frequency range used in the filtering of the filter module, the ambient noise of different frequency bands can be selectively eliminated and shielded.
如图7所示,在耳机插头13的麦克风部、接地部之间还可以设置有按键开关50,通过按压按键开关50使麦克风部与接地部接通时,麦克风20及降噪芯片30被短接而停止工作,以此控制耳机降噪功能的开启或关闭。并且,按键的按压信号还可以输送给外部的电子设备90;在电子设备90中预先对按压信号的次数、频率、时长等,与驱使该电子设备90执行某些动作的指令相对应,电子设备90接收到按压信号时就会执行规定的动作。As shown in FIG. 7, a button switch 50 may be disposed between the microphone portion and the ground portion of the earphone plug 13, and when the microphone portion is connected to the ground portion by pressing the button switch 50, the microphone 20 and the noise reduction chip 30 are short. Then stop working to control the on/off of the headphone noise reduction function. Moreover, the pressing signal of the button can also be sent to the external electronic device 90; in the electronic device 90, the number, frequency, duration, and the like of the pressing signal are pre-corresponding to the instruction for driving the electronic device 90 to perform certain actions, the electronic device When a press signal is received, the predetermined action is performed.
麦克风20可以安装在耳机座12处,也可以安装在耳机本体11处。一些示例中,如图8~图10所示,降噪系统设有多个麦克风20,可以使一些主要采集耳机外部的噪音,另一些主要采集耳机内部的噪音(参见图10)。例如是,将采集内部噪声的麦克风20,设置在耳机本体11内,以采集到与人耳听到的完全相同的噪音信号;而以耳机座12处的麦克风20来主要采集外部噪声。The microphone 20 may be mounted at the earphone holder 12 or may be mounted at the earphone body 11. In some examples, as shown in FIGS. 8-10, the noise reduction system is provided with a plurality of microphones 20, which can cause some of the main acquisition noise outside the earphone, and others mainly collect noise inside the earphone (see FIG. 10). For example, the microphone 20 that collects internal noise is disposed in the earphone body 11 to collect the same noise signal as that heard by the human ear; and the microphone 20 at the earphone holder 12 mainly collects external noise.
不同的麦克风20可以通过各自对应的信道将采集的信息发送给降噪芯片30;或者,通过时分复用电路,将各麦克风20获取的信号相互交织于不同的时间段内,通过同一信道发送,降噪芯片30再按照时隙将其分离出来。 Different microphones 20 may send the collected information to the noise reduction chip 30 through respective corresponding channels; or, by means of a time division multiplexing circuit, the signals acquired by the respective microphones 20 are interleaved into different time periods and transmitted through the same channel. The noise reduction chip 30 then separates it by time slot.
如图9所示,各个麦克风21、22可以设置有对应的开关51、52,例如使开关51、52与相应的麦克风21、22串联,操作开关51、52使线路接通,则相应的麦克风21、22得电,启动对噪音的采集;反之,操作开关51、52使线路断开时,相应的麦克风21、22失电,停止对噪音的采集,实现精细化控制。As shown in FIG. 9, each of the microphones 21, 22 may be provided with a corresponding switch 51, 52, for example, connecting the switches 51, 52 in series with the corresponding microphones 21, 22, operating the switches 51, 52 to turn the line on, then the corresponding microphone 21, 22 power, start the collection of noise; conversely, when the switches 51, 52 are operated to disconnect the line, the corresponding microphones 21, 22 lose power, stop the collection of noise, and achieve refined control.
并且,降噪耳机的麦克风20还可以用来采集用户的语音信号,将采集的语音信号传入电子设备90中进行处理,从而将降噪耳机应用于手机等终端设 备的通话过程。例如,位于耳机座12处的麦克风20,可能在采集语音信号的同时采集到内外部的噪声,对此,配合参见图6、图11,麦克风20采集到噪声信号和语音信号后,经过滤模块处理得到噪声信号,一方面将噪声信号输送到频幅调整模块,继续图6所示的降噪处理;另一方面,将过滤出的噪声信号发送到信号消减模块,从麦克风20采集的噪声信号和语音信号中将过滤出的噪声信号去除,得到的语音信号输出给电子设备90。Moreover, the microphone 20 of the noise canceling earphone can also be used to collect the voice signal of the user, and the collected voice signal is transmitted to the electronic device 90 for processing, thereby applying the noise canceling earphone to the terminal device such as the mobile phone. Prepared call process. For example, the microphone 20 located at the earphone holder 12 may collect internal and external noise while collecting the voice signal. For this, with reference to FIG. 6 and FIG. 11, after the microphone 20 collects the noise signal and the voice signal, the filtering module is adopted. Processing the noise signal, on the one hand, the noise signal is sent to the frequency amplitude adjustment module, and the noise reduction processing shown in FIG. 6 is continued; on the other hand, the filtered noise signal is sent to the signal reduction module, and the noise signal collected from the microphone 20 is collected. The filtered noise signal is removed from the voice signal, and the resulting voice signal is output to the electronic device 90.
可以在电子设备90中进一步设置降噪辅助系统,如以硬件、软件模块、固件或其组合来构建,能接收降噪耳机所采集到的噪声信号并对其处理,从而对降噪效果进行辅助控制。如图12所示,所述降噪辅助系统能够打开或关闭对降噪耳机的电源输出,从而对应地激活或停用耳机的降噪功能。The noise reduction assistance system may be further disposed in the electronic device 90, such as hardware, software module, firmware, or a combination thereof, and can receive and process the noise signal collected by the noise canceling earphone, thereby assisting the noise reduction effect. control. As shown in FIG. 12, the noise reduction assistance system can turn on or off the power output of the noise canceling earphone, thereby correspondingly activating or deactivating the noise reduction function of the earphone.
所述降噪辅助系统还可用于设置及调节电子设备90和/或降噪耳机上,与降噪效果有关的工作参数。如图13所示,所述降噪辅助系统可以获取降噪耳机的降噪参数,在电子设备90的显示屏上以滑动条、数值列表等各种方式显示降噪程度的数值,或者更进一步地显示过滤噪声时的频率范围、消噪信号的频谱、幅度等数值;用户通过电子设备90的输入单元(触摸屏、按键)等对降噪参数的数值进行调整,则降噪辅助系统接收更新后的数值,在显示屏上进行显示,并发送给耳机的降噪系统,对降噪效果进行控制。The noise reduction assistance system can also be used to set and adjust operating parameters related to the noise reduction effect on the electronic device 90 and/or the noise canceling earphone. As shown in FIG. 13 , the noise reduction assisting system can obtain the noise reduction parameter of the noise canceling earphone, and display the value of the noise reduction level in various manners such as a sliding bar and a numerical list on the display screen of the electronic device 90, or further The frequency range of the filter noise, the spectrum of the noise canceling signal, and the amplitude are displayed. The user adjusts the value of the noise reduction parameter through the input unit (touch screen, button) of the electronic device 90, and the noise reduction auxiliary system receives the update. The value is displayed on the display and sent to the noise reduction system of the earphone to control the noise reduction effect.
例如,降噪程度的数值在0~100%之间可调整。假设用户想要外界声音的可听见度为70%,则设置耳机的降噪程度为30%进行实时运算,在扬声器40发射的音频信号上叠加与噪声相位相反、振幅等符合上述降噪程度(30%)对应条件的声波来抵消30%的噪声,使得降噪后的外界声音的可听见度为70%,即降噪后的外界声音为降噪前的外界声音大小的30%。For example, the value of the noise reduction level can be adjusted from 0 to 100%. Assuming that the user wants the audibility of the external sound to be 70%, the noise reduction degree of the earphone is set to 30% for real-time operation, and the audio signal transmitted from the speaker 40 is superimposed on the opposite phase of the noise, and the amplitude is equal to the above-mentioned noise reduction degree ( 30%) Corresponding conditions of the sound wave to offset 30% of the noise, so that the audibility of the noise after the noise is 70%, that is, the external sound after noise reduction is 30% of the external sound before noise reduction.
如图14所示,所述降噪辅助系统还可以设有分析模块,前后分别信号连接耳机降噪系统的过滤模块和频幅调整模块;该分析模块对过滤出的噪音信号进行分析,如通过计算噪音信号中不同频率成分的信号强度分布特性,以及特定频段噪音在时间轴上的延续时间长度和重复特性,得出噪音信号的相 关参数,再与预置的一些特定环境噪音的频域和时域特性参数比较,识别当前用户所处的环境,找出与当前噪音信号最匹配的环境噪音模型,结合用户选择的降噪参数,对噪音信号的频幅调整程度输出相应的控制指令给耳机的降噪系统,从而可以对不同频段的信号进行放大或者衰减,以增强某些特定频段或者特定类型的噪音的降噪效果。同时也可以在不同的环境情况下自动调整降噪信号的幅度,避免过度降噪或者降噪不足。在另一实施例中,将可实现上述功能的分析模块设置在耳机的降噪系统中,使其前后分别信号连接耳机降噪系统的过滤模块和频幅调整模块。As shown in FIG. 14, the noise reduction assistance system may further be provided with an analysis module, wherein the signal is connected to the filter module and the frequency amplitude adjustment module of the earphone noise reduction system; the analysis module analyzes the filtered noise signal, for example, Calculate the signal intensity distribution characteristics of different frequency components in the noise signal, and the duration and repetition characteristics of the noise of the specific frequency band on the time axis, and obtain the phase of the noise signal. The parameter is compared with the frequency and time domain characteristic parameters of some preset specific environmental noises to identify the environment in which the current user is located, to find the environmental noise model that best matches the current noise signal, and to combine the noise reduction parameters selected by the user. The frequency adjustment degree of the noise signal is outputted to the noise reduction system of the earphone, so that the signals of different frequency bands can be amplified or attenuated to enhance the noise reduction effect of certain specific frequency bands or specific types of noise. At the same time, the amplitude of the noise reduction signal can be automatically adjusted under different environmental conditions to avoid excessive noise reduction or insufficient noise reduction. In another embodiment, the analysis module that can implement the above functions is disposed in the noise reduction system of the earphone, and the signal is connected to the filter module and the frequency amplitude adjustment module of the earphone noise reduction system.
预先在电子设备90或耳机的降噪系统中存储有多种场景类型,并为每种场景类型确定一套降噪参数,以表格等形式存储场景类型与降噪参数之间的对应关系。比如,在健身房环境下主要降低人声等高频段噪声,在公共交通环境下主要降低汽鸣声等低频段噪声。当分析模块识别出所处场景对应的目标场景类型时,即可通过查询该预设对应关系,确定相应的目标降噪参数,进而生成相应的降噪控制指令(如包含用于抵消噪声的反相声波的频率、振幅等参数)提供给降噪系统。A plurality of scene types are stored in the noise reduction system of the electronic device 90 or the earphone in advance, and a set of noise reduction parameters is determined for each scene type, and the correspondence between the scene type and the noise reduction parameter is stored in a form such as a table. For example, in the gym environment, the noise in the high frequency band such as vocals is mainly reduced, and in the public transportation environment, the noise in the low frequency band such as the buzzer sound is mainly reduced. When the analysis module identifies the target scene type corresponding to the scene, the corresponding target correlation noise can be determined by querying the preset correspondence, and corresponding noise reduction control instructions are generated (such as including an inverse for canceling noise). The frequency, amplitude and other parameters of the sound wave are supplied to the noise reduction system.
除了针对不同场景设定对应的降噪参数以外,还可以为用户的不同听力水平设定相应的降噪参数。例如,参见图15所示,在降噪辅助系统的控制下,电子设备90的音频播放单元通过耳机向用户播放一组不同频率、幅度的测试声音信号,指示用户在听到其中某组测试声音信号后,在规定的时间内,通过按压耳机上的按键开关50或是通过电子设备90的输入单元,给出反馈信号。假设,用户对80Hz、200Hz和400Hz处的声音敏感,给予反馈信号;而对600Hz、1000Hz、1200Hz、1500Hz频率处的声音不敏感,未给予反馈信号,表示该用户对低频声音的敏感度较高,据此由降噪辅助系统为该用户设定相应的降噪参数提供给耳机的降噪系统,如将该用户对应的降噪水平设置为18dB至25dB。In addition to setting corresponding noise reduction parameters for different scenes, corresponding noise reduction parameters can also be set for different hearing levels of the user. For example, as shown in FIG. 15, under the control of the noise reduction assistance system, the audio playback unit of the electronic device 90 plays a set of test sound signals of different frequencies and amplitudes to the user through the earphones, instructing the user to hear a certain set of test sounds. After the signal, the feedback signal is given by pressing the push button switch 50 on the earphone or through the input unit of the electronic device 90 within a prescribed time. Assume that the user is sensitive to sounds at 80 Hz, 200 Hz, and 400 Hz, giving feedback signals; and is not sensitive to sounds at frequencies of 600 Hz, 1000 Hz, 1200 Hz, and 1500 Hz, and no feedback signal is given, indicating that the user is more sensitive to low frequency sounds. According to this, the noise reduction auxiliary system sets the corresponding noise reduction parameter for the user to the noise reduction system of the earphone, for example, the corresponding noise reduction level of the user is set to 18dB to 25dB.
电子设备90的常用用户一般是人数固定的一个或几个人,因此,无需频 繁进行上述听力水平的测试及相应降噪参数的设定。电子设备90的降噪辅助系统对不同的设备用户给予相应的识别标志,并记录各设备用户相对应的降噪参数。切换用户使用时,输入当前用户相应的识别标志,降噪辅助系统据此获取到相对应的降噪参数,生成相应的降噪控制指令提供给耳机的降噪系统。The common users of the electronic device 90 are generally one or a few people with a fixed number of people, and therefore, no frequency is required. The above test of the hearing level and the setting of the corresponding noise reduction parameters are carried out.
