Abstract

The present disclosure discloses an acoustic input and output apparatus. The acoustic input and output apparatus may include a loudspeaker assembly, a sound-pickup assembly configured to pick up a sound signal, and a connection assembly including an elastic member, wherein a first end of the elastic member may connect to the loudspeaker assembly, and a second end of the elastic member may connect to the sound-pickup assembly. The elastic member may be configured to cause an average amplitude attenuation rate of vibrations within a phonic frequency band generated by the loudspeaker assembly to be larger than or equal to 35% in a process that the vibration transmits from the first end of the elastic member to the second end of the elastic member.

Claims (45)

1. An acoustic input and output apparatus, comprising:

a loudspeaker assembly;

a sound-pickup assembly configured to pick up a sound signal; and

a connection assembly including an elastic member, wherein a first end of the elastic member connects to the loudspeaker assembly, and a second end of the elastic member connects to the sound-pickup assembly, wherein

the elastic member is configured to cause an average amplitude attenuation rate of vibrations within a phonic frequency band generated by the loudspeaker assembly to be larger than or equal to 35% in a process that the vibrations transmit from the first end of the elastic member to the second end of the elastic member.

2. The acoustic input and output apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the elastic member includes an elastic metal filament and plug-in parts connecting to the two ends of the elastic metal filament, respectively;

one of the plug-in parts is configured to match and plug in the sound-pickup assembly; and

the other one of the plug-in parts is configured to match and plug in the loudspeaker assembly.

3. The acoustic input and output apparatus of claim 2 , wherein an elastic modulus of the elastic metal filament is 70 GPa-90 GPa.

4. The acoustic input and output apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the connection assembly further includes an elastic cover layer covering a periphery of the elastic member, and an elastic modulus of the elastic cover layer is 0.8 GPa-2 GPa.

5. The acoustic input and output apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the loudspeaker assembly includes a first loudspeaker housing, a second loudspeaker housing, and a loudspeaker, wherein

the first loudspeaker housing is matched and connected to the second loudspeaker housing to form a containment space for accommodating the loudspeaker, wherein a first through-hole and a second through-hole are arranged on the first loudspeaker housing at an interval, and the first through-hole and second through-hole are in communication with the containment space;

a wiring group of the sound-pickup assembly traverses the first through-hole, the containment space, and the second through-hole; and

at least one ear hook assembly configured connect to the loudspeaker assembly so that the loudspeaker assembly is in a stable contact with ears of a user.

6. The acoustic input and output apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the loudspeaker assembly further includes a wire-fixing assembly configured to fix the wiring group of the sound-pickup assembly passing through the first through-hole and reaching the second through-hole.

7. The acoustic input and output apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the wire-fixing assembly includes press-holding members arranged in the containment space, and the press-holding members are configured to contact the wiring group of the sound-pickup assembly to reduce a vibration amplitude of the wiring group of the sound-pickup assembly.

8. The acoustic input and output apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the press-holding members include a first press-holding member covering the first through-hole.

9. The acoustic input and output apparatus of claim 5 , wherein

the first loudspeaker housing includes a bottom wall and a side wall connecting with each other, and the side wall surrounds and connects with the bottom wall;

the second loudspeaker housing is arranged covering one side of the side wall away from the bottom wall to form the containment space; and

the first through-hole is formed on the bottom wall, and the second through-hole is formed on the sidewall.

10. The acoustic input and output apparatus of claim 9 , wherein

the bottom wall includes a first convex part protruding in a direction deviate from the containment space, and the first through-hole is formed on the first convex part, and

the side wall includes a second convex part protruding in a direction deviate from the containment space, and the second through-hole is formed on the second convex part.

11. The acoustic input and output apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the sound-pickup assembly is rotatable relative to the loudspeaker assembly.

12. The acoustic input and output apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the connection assembly further includes a rotation member matched and connected to the first through-hole rotatably, and the sound-pickup assembly is connected with the rotation member so as to rotate relative to the first loudspeaker housing.

13. The acoustic input and output apparatus of claim 5 , wherein

the at least one ear hook assembly includes an ear hook connection assembly and an ear hook housing;

the ear hook assembly is connected with the second through-hole and the ear hook housing, and the ear hook housing is configured with an accommodating space for accommodating at least one of a battery assembly or a control circuit assembly; and

the wiring group of the sound-pickup assembly passes through the second through-hole and enters the accommodating space via the ear hook connection assembly.

14. The acoustic input and output apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the ear hook housing includes a first ear hook housing and a second ear hook housing matching the first ear hook housing, and the accommodating space is formed when the first ear hook housing is connected with the second ear hook housing.

15. The acoustic input and output apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the ear hook assembly includes a splicing assembly configured to restrict a movement of the first ear hook housing and the second ear hook housing in a splicing direction and a thickness direction.

16. The acoustic input and output apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the ear hook housing is configured with a buttonhole and a power plug-in hole.

17. The acoustic input and output apparatus of claim 16 , wherein

the ear hook housing includes a housing panel contacting a user, a housing back panel away from the user, and a plurality of housing side panels connecting the housing panel and the housing back panel; and

the buttonhole and the power plug-in hole are arranged on different housing side panels of the plurality of housing side panels.

18. The acoustic input and output apparatus of claim 14 , wherein

the ear hook connection assembly includes an ear hook connection member and a wire stuck part; and

the ear hook connection member is arranged with a lead channel configured to lead the wiring group from the loudspeaker assembly, and the wire stuck part is configured to stuck and stop the wiring group in a radial direction of the wiring group.

19. The acoustic input and output apparatus of claim 14 , further including a rear hook assembly configured to connect the ear hook assembly so that the acoustic input and output apparatus is in a stable contact with a back side of the head of the user.

20. The acoustic input and output apparatus of claim 15 , wherein

the splicing assembly includes a first splicing member and a second splicing member matched to the first splicing member, and the first splicing member and the second splicing member are arranged on the first ear hook housing and the second ear hook housing, respectively; and
