Abstract

An outer ear structure of recording system includes a base, a first component and a second component. The base includes a first through hole extending along a first axis. The first component is disposed on the base and includes a second through hole corresponding to the first through hole and a recessed area surrounding the second through hole. The second component is disposed on the first component and is offset from the second through hole. An area of the second component is smaller than an area of the first component. The second component includes an inwardly curved side wall facing the first axis.

Claims (19)

1 . An outer ear structure of a recording system, comprising:

a base, comprising a first through hole extending along a first axis;

a first component, disposed on the base and comprising a second through hole corresponding to the first through hole and a recessed area surrounding the second through hole; and

a second component, disposed on the first component and offset from the second through hole, wherein an area of the second component is smaller than an area of the first component, the second component comprises an inwardly curved side wall facing the first axis,

wherein the inwardly curved side wall is located at a side of the second component away from the first component.

2 . The outer ear structure of the recording system according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the base is less than 23.98 mm.

3 . The outer ear structure of the recording system according to claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the first through hole is gradually expanded along a direction toward the first component, or a diameter of the first through hole is constant along the first axis.

4 . The outer ear structure of the recording system according to claim 1 , wherein the first component comprises a shielding portion, and a projection of the shielding portion on the base shields a portion of the first through hole.

5 . The outer ear structure of the recording system according to claim 4 , wherein the shielding portion is close to the recessed area and is located away from the second component.

6 . The outer ear structure of the recording system according to claim 1 , wherein the first component comprises a height buffer zone located away from the second component, and the height buffer zone is sloped or stepped.

7 . The outer ear structure of the recording system according to claim 1 , wherein the recessed area is a sloped recess or a stepped recess.

8 . The outer ear structure of the recording system according to claim 1 , wherein the second through hole extends along a second axis, and the second axis is between the first axis and the second component.

9 . An outer ear module of a recording system, comprising:

a base, comprising a first through hole extending along a first axis, a plate portion, and a pipe, wherein the plate portion comprises a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, and the pipe protrudes from the first surface;

a first component, disposed on the second surface and comprising a second through hole corresponding to the first through hole and a recessed area surrounding the second through hole; and

a second component, disposed on the first component and offset from the second through hole, wherein the second component comprises an inwardly curved side wall facing the first axis.

10 . The outer ear module of the recording system according to claim 9 , further comprising a microphone, disposed in the pipe, wherein a distance between the microphone and the second surface is less than 23.98 mm.

11 . The outer ear module of the recording system according to claim 9 , wherein the first through hole comprises a first hole portion located in the pipe and a second hole portion penetrating the plate portion, a diameter of the first hole portion is constant along the first axis, and the second hole portion gradually expands in a direction toward the first component.

12 . The outer ear module of the recording system according to claim 9 , wherein the base comprises at least one tuning member disposed in the pipe.
