External wireless earphone for digital music player

technical field

The invention relates to an earphone, in particular to an external wireless earphone for digital music players.

Background technique

In recent years, the market for digital music players has expanded rapidly. Internationally renowned manufacturers such as Apple and SONY, as well as countless other manufacturers, have launched new products of various models in order to share this booming market. Music management software is expected to win the favor of users and gain the leading position in the market under the situation of head-on competition in the market. Taking Apple as an example, the storage medium used in the new digital music player called "iPodNano" has been converted from the small hard disk in the iPod to flash memory. Its thickness is only 6.9mm, and its weight is only 42g. It has achieved the design goal of being thin, light and small. Its storage capacity can be divided into two types: 4GB and 2GB. In order to win this market share, SONY released a total of five new products in the "Walkman A" series in one fell swoop. Its biggest appeal lies in the intelligent song selection function, which can automatically search for and currently playing singers during random (shffule) playback. Music of the same style can also specify a specific age range to search and play music. Among them, there are three models that use flash memory as their storage media, with storage capacities of 2GB, 1G and 512MB. The suggested selling prices are between Japanese Yen 22,000 yuan to 32,000 yuan (that is, NT $ 5,900 to 8,600 yuan).

Generally speaking, digital music players using flash memory as a storage medium are inferior to hard disk products in terms of capacity, but they have the advantages of small size, easy portability and easy use. At present, various manufacturers have introduced flash memory as their The storage media digital music player mainly has a capacity between 256MB and 1GB, and its recommended selling price has dropped significantly to about NT$1,000 to NT$6,000. Therefore, for general users, this kind of digital music player using flash memory as its storage medium not only reduces the price to a level that general users can afford, but its capacity also meets the needs of most users. The market share of digital music players will obviously surpass that of hard disk products and become the mainstream product in the market.

However, no matter using flash memory or a small hard disk as a storage medium, each manufacturer will list earphones as a standard accessory when the digital music player is sold out of the factory. , easy to carry, and the sound quality is relatively clear, but because the placement of the earphones generally needs to extend into the user's ear canal, which is closer to the eardrum, it often causes ear discomfort when used for a long time Or pain, in addition, because its volume has a greater impact on the eardrum, it is very easy to cause damage to the eardrum and cause hearing loss. In view of this, in recent years, under the strong recommendation of otolaryngologists, many users have tended to use external earphones (such as full-face or ear-hook earphones) to listen to music played by digital music players to protect their ears. and hearing safety and health. However, as shown in FIG. 1, when a user 10 uses an external earphone 20 to listen to music played by a digital music player 30, the digital music player 30 must be hung on the neck 11 by a hanging accessory 40. Then, the earphone plug 22 at one end of the signal line 21 of the external earphone 20 is plugged into the earphone jack (not shown) on the digital music player 30, so the signal suspended on the user 10 The wire 21 and the hanging fitting 40 will swing with the body movements of the user 10 , which can easily catch foreign objects or hinder the normal movement of the body, causing great inconvenience to the user 10 .

Therefore, how to design an external earphone that can accommodate a digital music player, and integrate the two into one, so that the user can directly control the earphone without hanging accessories and signal wires. The control panel on the digital music player, and listen to the analog audio signal played by the digital music player through the external earphone, has become an important issue that manufacturers of digital music players and external earphones urgently need to discuss and solve. topic.

In view of the above-mentioned disadvantages that when the digital music player is used with an external earphone, the signal line and the hanging accessories are very easy to bind foreign objects or hinder the normal movement of the limbs. Based on the manufacturing technology and experience of audio-visual products for many years , for the above-mentioned deficiency, carefully study various solutions, after continuous research, experiment and improvement, finally develop and design a kind of plug-in wireless earphone for digital music player of the present invention.

Contents of the invention

The purpose of the present invention is to provide an external wireless earphone for digital music players, so that the digital music player can be easily integrated with the external wireless earphones, so that it can be used without hanging accessories and signal wires. The user enjoys listening to the audio signal played by the digital music player.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a plug-in wireless earphone for a digital music player. The plug-in earphone does not need to add an additional signal line for plugging into the headphone jack of the digital music player, which can effectively avoid The signal line hanging on the user's body causes fetters and inconvenience to the user.

The purpose of the present invention is achieved in this way, a kind of external wireless earphone of digital music player, comprises: a hanger; The hanger is worn to the user's head, and the horn bases will be positioned at the user's ears. Each horn base is provided with a horn, and one of the horn bases is provided with an accommodating space and a A positioning element, the accommodating space is used for placing a digital music player, and the positioning element is used to firmly position the digital music player in the accommodating space, and an earphone plug is provided at the peripheral position of the accommodating space, the The direction and position of the earphone plugs can be adjusted to be plugged into the earphone sockets of the digital music player, and the earphone plugs are respectively connected with the speakers in the speaker bases by a signal line.

From the above, the user can easily integrate a digital music player of any specification into the plug-in wireless earphone for the digital music player of the present invention, and directly wear it on the user's head. In addition, there is no need for any hanging accessories at all, which effectively eliminates the fetters and inconvenience caused by the hanging accessories hanging on the user's neck to the user's body movements. At the same time, the user can directly manipulate the control panel of the digital music player, select the audio file stored in the digital music player, and make the analog audio signal generated by the digital music player pass through the earphone jack and the Earphone plugs are respectively output to the speakers to play corresponding sounds or music for users to listen to, so the external earphone does not need to add an additional signal for plugging into the earphone jack on the digital music player Therefore, it can effectively avoid the fetters and inconvenience caused to the user by the signal line hanging on the user.
