TWS earphone

[ field of technology ]

The invention relates to the technical field of earphones, in particular to a TWS earphone.

[ background Art ]

The earphone is an audio output device which receives the electric signals sent by the media player or the receiver and converts the electric signals into audible sound waves by using a loudspeaker close to the ear. Under the condition of not affecting other people, the earphone can not only independently listen to the sound, but also isolate the sound of the surrounding environment, so that the earphone is widely applied to the daily life of people. Headphones have also become a necessary device for various audio playback devices. Headphones can be generally classified into wired headphones and wireless headphones. Due to the inconvenience of wearing wired headphones, wireless headphones are favored by more and more users. The wireless stereo earphone comprises a real wireless stereo earphone (True Wireless Stereo, TWS), namely TWS earphone. The TWS earphone is a device for transmitting stereo signals based on bluetooth technology, i.e. the left and right earphone receives stereo signals from a playing device such as a mobile phone through bluetooth without any wire connection, so as to realize playback.

Currently, TWS headphones generally employ a moving coil unit as its sound generating unit. In the process of listening to music, if a user wishes to hear relatively bright high-frequency sounds such as a piano, the high-frequency effect of the moving-coil unit as a TWS earphone is poor, so that the TWS earphone using the moving-coil unit as a sound generating unit cannot well meet the needs of the user.

Since the moving-iron unit 30 has good high-frequency effects, the moving-coil unit 90 has good low-frequency and medium-frequency effects, and the moving-iron unit 30 and the moving-coil unit 90 are combined to jointly serve as the sound generating unit of the TWS earphone 100, the TWS earphone 100 has good low-frequency, medium-frequency and high-frequency effects, that is, the TWS earphone 100 has good sound performance on the whole frequency.

The first housing part 10 is of a generally hollow triangular structure, and in some other embodiments, the first housing part 10 may be of other suitable structure, such as a hollow hemisphere, a hollow cylinder, or a hollow cuboid. The first housing part 10 is provided with a recess 101, and the recess 101 is configured to accommodate the moving iron unit 30. The bottom of the groove 101 is provided with a through hole, and the through hole is used for communicating the groove 101 with the sound outlet channel 201, so that the sound emitted by the moving iron unit 30 propagates to the sound outlet channel 201. The first housing part 10 is further provided with a fixing groove 107, the fixing groove 107 being for accommodating the moving coil unit 90. The bottom of the fixed slot 107 is provided with an opening for communicating the fixed slot 107 with the sound outlet channel 201, so that the sound emitted from the moving coil unit 90 propagates to the sound outlet channel 201.

The first housing part 10 is further provided with a housing space 103 and a mounting port 104 communicating with the housing space 103. The groove 101 may be formed by recessing an outer surface of the first housing part 10 toward the receiving space 103. The outer surface of the first housing 10 is a surface facing away from the accommodating space 103. Two opposite side walls of the groove 101 are respectively provided with a first sliding opening and a second sliding opening, and the accommodating space 103 is communicated with the groove 101 through the first sliding opening and the second sliding opening. Wherein the first sliding opening and the second sliding opening are arranged on two opposite side walls of the groove 101 in a substantially flush manner.

The second housing portion 20 is generally a hollow cylindrical structure, and in some other embodiments, the second housing portion 20 may be other suitable structures, such as a hollow cuboid, etc. The second housing 20 is provided with a sound outlet channel 201 and a sound outlet hole, and the sound outlet channel 201 is provided with a first end, a second end and a third end. The through hole of the groove 101 is aligned with the first end of the sound outlet channel 201, the opening of the fixing groove 107 is aligned with the second end of the sound outlet channel 201, and the third end of the sound outlet channel 201 is aligned with the sound outlet hole, so that the sound generated by the moving-iron unit 30 propagates to the sound outlet channel 201 through the through hole, and the sound generated by the moving-coil unit 90 propagates to the sound outlet channel 201 through the opening, passes through the sound outlet hole from the sound outlet channel 201, and further propagates into the ear of the user.

The moving iron unit 30 is generally square in shape, and in some other embodiments, the moving iron unit 30 may have other suitable structures, for example, the moving iron unit 30 may have a circular structure, etc. The moving iron unit 30 is a sound generating unit which is conducted to the center point of a miniature vibrating diaphragm through a connecting rod with precise structure, so as to generate vibration and generate sound.

The other end of the second connecting rod 402 is hinged to the first baffle 409, and the first baffle 409 is disposed at the first sliding port. The first shutter 409 is slidable with respect to the first sliding port. The gear member 405 is disposed in the accommodating space 103, and in order to prevent the gear member 405 from suspending, the gear member 405 may be fixed by a connecting member. Specifically, one end of the connecting piece is connected to the gear piece 405, and the other end of the connecting piece is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the groove 101. In some embodiments, the other end of the connector may also be fixedly mounted to the first housing portion 10. The gear element 405 can rotate relative to the first housing part 10, wherein the gear element 405 can be a spur gear. One end of the sliding member 404 is fixed to an end face of the other end of the third connecting rod 403, the gear member 405 is provided with a sliding hole, the other end of the sliding member 404 is inserted into the sliding hole, and the sliding member 404 is slidable in the sliding hole.
