Abstract

An anti-noise earmuff device includes an audio signal processor unit, a Bluetooth module, an audio mixer unit and an amplifier unit. The audio signal processor unit is arranged in the earmuffs for control audio signal output, protecting the user's eardrums against noise of high-decibel level. The Bluetooth module receives or communicates with a mobile communication device through an antenna, allowing the user to listen to the music and to communicate with people outside without needing taking off the earmuff device.

Claims (13)

1. An anti-noise earmuff device, comprising:

at least one audio signal processor unit adapted for receiving external audio signals;

said at least one audio signal processor unit reducing inputted audio signals to below 79 db;

an audio mixer unit electrically coupled with said at least one audio signal processor unit and adapted for receiving and processing the audio signals outputted by said at least one audio signal processor unit;

an amplifier unit electrically coupled with said audio mixer unit and adapted for receiving and amplifying the audio signals outputted by said audio mixer unit;

a Bluetooth module electrically coupled with said audio mixer unit;

each said audio signal processor unit consisting of an audio receiver, a primary amplifier circuit, a secondary amplifier circuit, a current amplifier circuit, a wave detection circuit, a switch circuit and a regulator circuit; and

said switch circuit of each said audio signal processor unit is selected from one of a transistor and a diode.

2. The anti-noise earmuff device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said audio receiver of each said audio signal processor unit is a capacitive microphone.

3. The anti-noise earmuff device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said regulator circuit of each said audio signal processor unit is a variable resistor.

4. The anti-noise earmuff device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein said audio mixer unit consists of a left channel mixer and a right channel mixer.

5. The anti-noise earmuff device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein said amplifier unit consists of a left audio amplifier and a right audio amplifier.

6. The anti-noise earmuff device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein said Bluetooth module comprises a sound volume control circuit consisting of an antenna, a Bluetooth microphone and a variable resistor, and is electrically coupled with the left channel mixer and right channel mixer of said audio mixer unit.
