Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a speaker device. The speaker device may include a speaker assembly and a supporting connector. The speaker assembly may include a speaker module and a button module. The supporting connector may be configured to contact with the human head and provide a vibration fulcrum for a vibration of the speaker assembly. A distance between a center of the button module and the vibration fulcrum may be not greater than a distance between a center of the speaker module and the vibration fulcrum.

Claims (56)

1. A speaker device, comprising:

a speaker assembly including a speaker module and a button module;

a supporting connector configured to contact with the human head and provide a vibration fulcrum for a vibration of the speaker assembly, a ratio of a distance between a center of the button module and the vibration fulcrum to a distance between a center of the speaker module and the vibration fulcrum is not greater than 0.95, wherein the supporting connector includes an ear hook, and the button module is disposed in a center position of the speaker assembly relative to the speaker assembly or disposed at a proximal end of the speaker assembly close to a top end of the ear hook.

2. The speaker device of claim 1 , wherein

the speaker module includes a housing configured to accommodate an earphone core of the speaker device,

the housing includes an outer side wall away from the human head and a peripheral side wall connected to and arranged around the outer side wall,

the peripheral side wall includes a first peripheral side wall disposed along a length direction of the outer side wall and a second peripheral side wall disposed along a width direction of the outer side wall, and

the outer side wall and the peripheral side wall are connected and form a cavity with an opening, the cavity being configured to accommodate the earphone core.

3. The speaker device of claim 2 , wherein

the first peripheral side wall has a third bottom end position, a third middle position, and a third top end position along a direction close to the vibration fulcrum,

the button module is located at the third middle position of the first peripheral side wall, or

the button module is located between the third middle position and the third top end position of the first peripheral side wall.

4. The speaker device of claim 3 , wherein

the button module is located at the third middle position of the first peripheral side wall along a length direction of the first peripheral side wall, or

the button is located between the third middle position of the first peripheral and the third top end position of the first peripheral side wall along the length direction of the first peripheral side wall.

5. The speaker device of claim 3 , wherein

a distance between a top of the button module and the third top end position of the first peripheral side wall is less than a distance between a bottom of the button module and the third bottom end position of the first peripheral side wall.

6. The speaker device of claim 3 , wherein

the button module is centrally disposed on the first peripheral side wall along a width direction of the first peripheral side wall.

7. The speaker device of claim 3 , wherein

a button hole is disposed on the first peripheral side wall, and

the button module includes at least one button that cooperates with the button hole.

8. The speaker device of claim 1 , the speaker module includes a housing which includes an outer side wall away from the human head and a peripheral side wall connected to and arranged around the outer side wall, wherein

the speaker module has a first bottom end position, a first middle position, and a first top end position along a direction close to the vibration fulcrum,

the button module is located at the first middle position of the speaker module, or

the button module is located between the first middle position and the first top end position of the speaker module.

9. The speaker device of claim 8 , wherein

a distance between a top of the button module and the first top end position of the speaker module is less than a distance between a bottom of the button module and the first bottom end position of the speaker module.

10. The speaker device of claim 8 , wherein

the outer side wall has a second bottom end position, a second middle position, and a second top end position along the direction close to the vibration fulcrum,

the button module is located at the second middle position of the outer side wall, or

the button module is located between the second middle position of the outer side wall and the second top end position of the outer side wall.

11. The speaker device of claim 10 , wherein

a distance between the top of the button module and the second top end position of the outer side wall is less than a distance between the bottom of the button module and the second bottom end position of the outer side wall.

12. The speaker device of claim 10 , wherein

the button module is disposed at the second middle position of the outer side wall along a length direction of the outer side wall, or

the button module is located at the outer side wall between the second middle position and the second top end position of the outer side wall along the length direction of the outer side wall.

13. The speaker device of claim 12 , wherein

a button hole is disposed on the outer side wall, and

the button module includes a button cooperating with the button hole.

14. The speaker device of claim 13 , wherein

a distance between a top of the button and the second top end position of the outer side wall is less than a distance between a bottom of the button and the second bottom end position of the outer side wall.

15. The speaker device of claim 13 , wherein

a connection portion configured to connect the supporting connector and the speaker module has a central axis,

an extension line of the central axis has a projection on a plane where an outer surface of the button is located, and

an angle between the projection and a long axis direction of the button is less than 10°.

16. The speaker device of claim 15 , wherein

a long axis direction of the outer surface of the button and a short axis direction of outer surface of the button have an intersection,

a shortest distance is formed between the projection and the intersection, and

the shortest distance is smaller than a size of the outer surface of the button along the short axis direction of the outer surface of the button.

17. The speaker device of claim 1 , wherein

a ratio of a mass of the button module to a mass of the speaker module is not greater than 0.3.

18. The speaker device of claim 1 , wherein

a ratio of a mass of the button module to a mass of the speaker module is not greater than 0.06.

19. The speaker device of claim 1 , wherein

the button module includes a button, an elastic bearing configured to support the button, and a button switch configured to be triggered by the button.
