DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

(6) In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the present disclosure will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

(7) The technical solution in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure; and obviously, the embodiments described, are merely some, rather than all, of the embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without any creative effort shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

(8) This embodiment is a neckband earphone structure, and its specific structure is shown in FIGS. 1 to 5. As shown in FIG. 1, the earphone structure includes a hanging ring 11, two compartments 12, two earphone bodies 14 and two earphone cables 13. The two compartments 12 are respectively connected to two ends of the hanging ring 11, and one end of the compartment 12 is connected to the earphone body 14 through the earphone cable 13. The earphone body 14 in FIG. 1 is a noise-canceling earphone with a three-layer umbrella cap, but it is not limited that the earphone body can only take this form. An electronic component 121 in the compartment 12 on the right side in FIG. 1 is a battery, and an electronic component 121 in the compartment 12 on the left side in FIG. 1 is a circuit board. One end of the compartment 12 is provided with a female socket 20, while one end of the earphone cable 13 is provided with a corresponding male plug 30, and the other end of the earphone cable 13 is connected to the earphone body 14. The male plug 30 is used for forming a pluggable connection with the female socket 20. FIG. 1 shows a state after the male plugs 30 are pulled out from the female sockets 20 along the direction M, and the direction N is a direction along which the male plugs 30 arc inserted into the female sockets 20. FIG. 2 shows a complete docking state in which the male plugs 30 have been inserted into the female sockets 20. The docking between the male plugs 30 and the female sockets 20 is a tight fit. In this case, the earphone cables 13 are docked with the female sockets 20 through the male plugs 30 to form a fixed connection with the compartments 12 and the earphone cables 13 are electrically connected to the electronic components 121 in the compartments 12.

(9) Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the female socket 20 includes a metal first cylinder 21 and a metal pin 22, and the pin 22 is provided inside the first cylinder 21 and coaxial with the first cylinder 21. An insulating collar 23 is fixed on the inner wall of the first cylinder 21, the pin 22 penetrates through the collar 23 and is fixed relative to the collar 23, and the pin 22 is fixed in the first cylinder 21 through the collar 23. The first cylinder 21 and the pin 22 are respectively electrically connected to the electronic components 121 in the compartments 12. The first cylinder 21 and the pin 22 can be made of metal with low resistance, such as copper and silver.

(10) Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the male plug 30 includes a metal second cylinder 31 and a metal third cylinder 32. The third cylinder 32 is provided inside the second cylinder 31 and the two are coaxial. The second cylinder 31 and the third cylinder 32 can be made of metal with low resistance, such as copper and silver. The second cylinder 31 and the third cylinder 32 arc respectively electrically connected to speaker units in the earphone bodies 14 through the earphone cables 13. The male plug 30 also includes an insulating main sleeve 33, the second cylinder 31 is fixedly sleeved in an annular groove 331 of the outer wall of the main sleeve 33, and the third cylinder 32 is fixed in the inner wall of the main sleeve 33. When the male plug 30 is docked with the female socket 20, the second cylinder 31 is inserted into the first cylinder 21 to form a tight fit and form a first electrical connection, at the same time, the pin 22 is inserted into the third cylinder 32 to form a tight fit and form a second electrical connection. The tight fit between the second cylinder 31 and the first cylinder 21 and the tight fit between the pin 22 and the third cylinder 32 can effectively fix the male plug 30 and the female socket 20 to each other and prevent them from falling off. In some embodiments, it is also possible to only provide the second cylinder to form a tight fit with the first cylinder, or only provide the pin to form a tight fit with the third cylinder, but the resulting tightening force will be relatively small.

(11) As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, one end of the earphone cable 13 with the male plug 30 is inserted into an outer sheath 34 and fixed. The main sleeve 33 is inserted into the outer sheath 34 and an end of the main sleeve 33 forms a fixed connection with the inner wall of the outer sheath 34. Specifically, the end of the main sleeve 33 is provided with a stepped convex ring 332, while the outer sheath 34 is provided with a corresponding stepped groove 341, and the stepped convex ring 332 is inserted into the stepped groove 341 to fix the position of the main sleeve 33 in the outer sheath 34. As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, an end base 24 is fixedly provided in an opening at one end of the compartment 12. A channel 241 is provided in the end base 24, and the first cylinder 21 is fixed in the channel 241. Specifically, the inner wall of the channel 241 is provided with a positioning convex ring 242, while the outer wall of the first cylinder 21 is provided with a corresponding annular groove 211, and the positioning convex ring 242 is inserted into the annular groove 211 to fix the position of the first cylinder 21 in the channel 241. Referring to FIGS. 3 to 5, when the male plug 30 is completely inserted into the female socket 20 to form a docking connection, an outer end of the first cylinder 21 is inserted into a groove 343 at an end face 342 of the outer sheath 34, while the end face of the outer sheath 34 is in close contact with an end face 243 of the end base 24, such that the male plug 30 and the female socket 20 can be wrapped and not exposed, which plays a protective role.

(12) In this embodiment, the pluggable connection between the male plug 30 and the female socket 20 realizes a detachable connection between the earphone cable 13 and the compartment 12. When in use, the male plug 30 is directly inserted into the female socket 20, and when replacement or maintenance is needed, the male plug 30 can be directly unplugged, so that the earphone cable 13 and the earphone body 14 are detached from the compartment 12 of the hanging ring 11, thus meeting the use requirements of users and improving the use, convenience.

(13) In some embodiments, if the earphone structure is provided with only one earphone body, the earphone structure may also be provided with only one compartment and one earphone cable, and the battery and the circuit board can both be placed in the compartment. In some embodiments, the earphone structure can also be provided with three compartments, the third compartment is connected to one of the compartments on the hanging ring through a short wire, and the third compartment can be used for accommodating a microphone and some control buttons.

(14) The above only uses embodiments to further illustrate the technical content of the present disclosure, so as to make it easier for readers to understand, but it does not mean that the implementation of the present, disclosure is limited to this. Any technical extension or re-creation made in accordance with the present disclosure is all protected by the present disclosure. The protection scope of the present disclosure is defined by the claims.
