Abstract

A loudspeaker apparatus includes a circuit housing configured to accommodate a circuit component or a battery; an ear hook; a housing of an earphone core configured to accommodate the earphone core; and a housing protector at least partially covering a periphery of the circuit housing and the ear hook. A first end of the ear hook is connected to the circuit housing. The earphone core is driven by the circuit component or the battery to vibrate to generate sound. The housing of the earphone core is connected to a second end of the ear hook away from the circuit housing through a hinge component. The hinge component is capable of rotating to change a position of the housing of the earphone core relative to the ear hook.

Claims (27)

1 . A loudspeaker apparatus, comprising:

a circuit housing, configured to accommodate a circuit component or a battery;

an earphone core is driven by the circuit component or the battery to vibrate to generate sound;

a housing of the earphone core configured to accommodate the earphone core; and

an ear hook including a first wire connecting the housing of the earphone core and the circuit housing, wherein

the housing of the earphone core includes a main housing and a clapboard component;

the clapboard component is located inside the main housing and connected to the main housing; and

an internal space of the main housing is divided by the clapboard component into a first accommodation space and a second accommodation space, the second accommodation space being configured to accommodate at least a portion of the first wire and a second wire, and the second wire leading from the main housing.

2 . The loudspeaker apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the ear hook further includes a plug end, and the housing of the earphone core is disposed with a socket hole, the socket hole being configured to provide an accommodation space for inserting the plug end of the ear hook into the housing of the earphone core.

3 . The loudspeaker apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the second accommodation space is arranged near a side of the socket hole.

4 . The loudspeaker apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the second accommodation space is less than the first accommodation space.

5 . The loudspeaker apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the clapboard component is located on a side of the main housing near the socket hole.

6 . The loudspeaker apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the main housing includes a peripheral sidewall and a bottom sidewall connected to one end surface of the peripheral sidewall, and the peripheral sidewall and the bottom sidewall are collectively surrounded to form the internal space inside the main housing.

7 . The loudspeaker apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the clapboard component includes a side clapboard and a bottom clapboard, the side clapboard is disposed along a direction perpendicular to the bottom sidewall, and both ends of the side clapboard are connected to the peripheral sidewall.

8 . The loudspeaker apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the first accommodation space is surrounded by the side clapboard, the bottom clapboard, the peripheral sidewall, and the bottom sidewall far from the socket hole.

9 . The loudspeaker apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the second accommodation space is surrounded by the bottom clapboard, the side clapboard, and the peripheral sidewall near the socket hole.

10 . The loudspeaker apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the clapboard component further include an inner clapboard, and the inner clapboard separates the second accommodation space into two sub-accommodation spaces.

11 . The loudspeaker apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the clapboard component further include a routing hole on a side near the first accommodation space.

12 . The loudspeaker apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the plug end includes an insertion portion, and the insertion portion is at least partially inserted into the socket hole.

13 . The loudspeaker apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the insertion portion includes an exposed portion exposed to the housing of the earphone core, and the exposed portion is a stair-step shape.

14 . The loudspeaker apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second accommodation space is provided with a sealant, and at least one of the first wire and the second wire is sealed in the sealant.

15 . The loudspeaker apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the first wire and the second wire are connected by welding.

16 . The loudspeaker apparatus of claim 15 , wherein a welding point between the first wire and the second wire is in the second accommodation space.

17 . The loudspeaker apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the welding point between the first wire and the second wire is sealed in the sealant.

18 . The loudspeaker apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the second accommodation space is filled by the sealant.

19 . The loudspeaker apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the housing of the earphone core is connected to an end of the ear hook away from the circuit housing through a hinge component.

20 . The loudspeaker apparatus of claim 19 , wherein the hinge component is capable of rotating to change a position of the housing of the earphone core relative to the ear hook so that the housing of the earphone core fits in front of or behind an ear of a user.
