Abstract

An earphone includes a housing provided with an accommodating groove and an opening groove. The opening groove connects the accommodating groove and the outside of the housing. A first hole is formed in the groove bottom of the accommodating groove. The earphone further includes an ear hanger, wherein one end of the ear hanger is provided with a rotating part inserted into the accommodating groove through the opening groove. The rotating part is provided with a second hole, a rotating shaft passes through the second hole and inserted into the first hole. The housing and the rotating part are rotatably connected around the rotating shaft. The earphone can effectively solve the problem that the rotating shaft of an existing ear-hanging earphone is prone to radial deflection, and is beneficial to enhancing the use hand feeling of a user.

Claims (29)

1. An earphone, comprising:

a housing provided with an accommodating groove and an opening groove, wherein:

the opening groove connects the accommodating groove and the outside of the housing; and

a first hole is formed in the groove bottom of the accommodating groove; and

an ear hanger, wherein:

one end of the ear hanger is provided with a rotating part inserted into the accommodating groove through the opening groove;

the rotating part is provided with a second hole;

a rotating shaft passes through the second hole and inserted into the first hole; and

the housing and the rotating part are rotatably connected around the rotating shaft.

2. The earphone according to claim 1 , wherein:

the groove bottom of the accommodating groove protrudes with a positioning post toward the rotating part; and

the rotating part is provided with an avoiding groove inserted transversely to avoid the positioning post, and the avoiding groove extends from the edge position of the rotating part to the second hole of the rotating part in the radial direction of the rotating part.

3. The earphone according to claim 2 , wherein:

an isolation middle shell is arranged on a side of the rotating part away from the positioning post; and

a storage groove is provided on a side of the isolation middle shell away from the rotating part.

4. The earphone according to claim 3 , wherein the isolation middle shell and the rotating shaft are of an integrated structure.

5. The earphone according to claim 2 , wherein a groove depth of the avoiding groove is smaller than a thickness dimension of the rotating part.

6. The earphone according to claim 5 , wherein:

a through groove penetrating through the groove bottom of the avoiding groove is formed in the intermediate position of the avoiding groove; and

the through groove extends from the second hole to an edge.

7. The earphone according to claim 5 , wherein:

the rotating part further comprises a through groove extending from the second hole to the edge, and

the through groove and the avoiding groove at least partially do not overlap.

8. The earphone according to claim 2 , wherein a clamping assembly is provided between the housing and the rotating part.

9. The earphone according to claim 8 , wherein:

the clamping assembly comprises an elastic member and a plurality of positioning clamping grooves;

each positioning clamping groove is located in a groove wall of the accommodating groove; and

the elastic member is mounted on the side wall of the rotating part and is used for abutting against the positioning clamping groove.

10. The earphone according to claim 9 , wherein the elastic member comprises a glass bead spring.
