A headset100is provided in the present application.

According toFIG. 1,FIG. 2,FIG. 6, andFIG. 10, in an embodiment of the present application, the headset100includes two earplug components10, a connecting member20, a first light emitting component30and a second light emitting component40. Each earplug component10includes an earphone shell11and a control device12. The earphone shell11is defined with an accommodating cavity1112, and the control device12is configured in the accommodating cavity1112. The connecting member20connects the two earphone shells11. The first light emitting component30includes a first light source31and a light emitting tube32, the first light source31is configured in the accommodating cavity1112of at least one earphone shell11and is electrically connected to the control device12, and two ends of the light emitting tube32are respectively connected to the two earphone shells11. An optical adjusting member33is configured between the light emitting tube32and the first light source31, and light emitted by the first light source31is transmitted to the light emitting tube32through the optical adjusting member33. The second light emitting unit40is provided in the accommodating cavity1112and is electrically connected to the control device12. A surface of one earphone shell11facing away from the other earphone shell11is defined with an emitting channel11acommunicating with the accommodating cavity1112. Light emitted by the second light emitting unit40is emitted through the emitting channel11a.

In particular, the earphone shell11can be made of plastic, and formed by injection molding, the structural strength is high and the processing is convenient. The connecting member20is connected to the two earphone shells11, and the connection way between the connecting member20and the two earphone shells11may be a threaded connection, a plug connection, a snap connection, or the like, and is not limited here. A shape of the connecting member20is generally an arc-shaped line body, which conforms to a shape of a human head and is convenient to wear. Of course, in order to increase comfort, the connecting member20is made of an elastic material, which can increase a distance between the two earplug components10according to different requirements. Further, the connecting member20can be in an curved plate shape, so that a contact area with a head of a human body is increased and pressure on the head can be reduced. In addition, the connecting member20may also be configured as a length-adjustable structure. For example, the connecting member20includes a headband and two sliding rods slidably connected with the headband. The two sliding rods are fixedly connected with the earphone shells11correspondingly, thereby realizing different wearing lengths and widths for the headset, adapting to users with different head shapes and applicability is improved. Here, the description of the connecting member20is to facilitate understanding of the technical solution of the present embodiment, and the connecting member20is not limited to the above features. The first light emitting component30and the second light emitting component40are components for generating and transmitting light. It will be appreciated that the first light emitting component30and the second light emitting component40are also electrically connected to the control device12, and the control device12can control the first light emitting component30and the second light emitting component40to generate light or not, and can control the frequency and color of light emission, etc.

The first light source31of the first light emitting component30may be an LED lamp bead, and the light emitting efficiency is high. The both ends of the light emitting tube32are connected to the two earphone shells11respectively, as a result, the first light source31is configured in the earphone shell11, on the one hand, the first light source31can be protected, and on the other hand, the first light source31can be aligned with an end of the light emitting tube32, and all the light emitted by the first light source31can enter the light emitting tube32, thus utilization rate of light is improved. The light emitting tube32is a tube body emitting light when light passes through its interior. For example, the light emitting tube32is a transparent plastic tube and directly transmits light. In particular, there may be only one first light source31, which is configured in one of the earphone shells11, and the light is emitted to the other end through one end of the light emitting tube32. Or, there may be two first light sources31, and each earphone shell11is provided with one of the first light sources31, the two first light sources31may emit lights at the same time, and the lights are emitted from both ends of the light emitting tube32at the same time, and mixed and interacted in a middle part of the light emitting tube32, and more gorgeous interactive light is formed through interference and diffraction of lights. The two first light sources31may alternately emit light to achieve better visual perception.

Of course, referring toFIG. 3andFIG. 4, the light emitting tube32may be configured above the connecting member20, which refers to a side of the connecting member20facing away from the earplug component10, so that the light emitting tube32does not play a supporting role and only has a decorative or warning light emitting effect. In particular, the optical adjusting member33, which may be a light guiding plate42, a convex lens, a concave lens, a prism, or the like, is configured between the first light source31and the light emitting tube32. The optical adjusting member33may be provided in accordance with the position of the first light source31, so that the light emitted from the first light source31can be adjusted to be directed to the light emitting tube32at a better angle or more intensively.

The emitting channel11aof the earphone shell11may be of a linear type, a pattern type, a ring shape, a polygonal shape, or the like, and may be set according to actual needs so as to ensure the light emitted from the second light emitting unit40can be emitted out of the accommodating cavity1112.

The headset100of the technical schemes of the present application includes two earplug components and a connecting member20. The two earplug components10each includes an earphone shell11and a control device12configured in the earphone shell11. The connecting member20is connected to the two earphone shells11to play a role of connecting and supporting, so that the two earplug members10are fixed to two ears. At the same time, the headset100further includes a first light emitting component30and a second light emitting component40, which emit lights from multiple directions, thereby increasing light emitting area, enhancing the light emitting effect, and meeting needs of users. Secondly, the first light emitting component30includes a first light source31, a light emitting tube32, and an optical adjusting member33. The first light source31is configured in the earphone shell11and is electrically connected to the control device12. The first light source31emits light under a control of the control device12. The light is emitted to an end of the light emitting tube32through the optical adjusting member33, so that the light emitting tube32lights as a whole. The light emitting tube32is located at a top of the head, which not only increase the light emitting area, but also make it more eye-catching. At the same time, the light emitted from the light source may be adjusted by the optical adjusting member33so that it is emitted to the light emitting tube32at a better angle or being more concentrated, thus effectively improving the utilization rate of light and the light emitting effect. In addition, the second light emitting component40is configured in the accommodating cavity1112, and an outer surface of the earphone shell11is defined with an emitting channel11acommunicating with the accommodating cavity1112. The light emitted by the second light emitting component40is directly emitted through the emitting channel11a, so that the outer surface of the earphone shell11produces a light emitting effect without passing through a light transmitting member, thereby achieving higher light transmittance and brightness, and significantly improving the light emitting effect.

In addition, in order to increase functionality, referring toFIG. 1, the headset100may further include a microphone50, which is an energy conversion device that converts a sound signal into an electrical signal for picking up sound and can realize an audio receiving function, thereby realizing interactive processing of the audio signal. The microphone50is configured on an outer side of one of the earplug component10, and is extended a distance from an outer surface of the earphone shell11through a connecting rod. An end of the connecting rod is provided with a sound hole corresponding to a position of the microphone50, so that the microphone50is directly facing a mouth of a user, improving pickup efficiency.

And for comfort, each earplug component10may also include an earplug pad18mounted on an inner surface of the earphone shell11. The inner surface of the earphone pad18refers to a surface facing the other earphone shell11. The material of the earphone shell11may be sponge, silica gel, rubber, etc., which is with flexibility. The earplug pad18is in direct contact with the user's ear, so that the hard earphone shell11is prevented from contacting the human body, thereby reducing press on the human ear, reducing the vibration energy of audio signals to a certain extent, and improving protection.

Furthermore, the specific structure of the first light emitting component30will be explained. Referring toFIGS. 5 to 7, in order to better concentrate light into the light emitting tube32, in an optional embodiment, the control device12includes a circuit board121, the first light source31is configured on the circuit board121, and the optical adjusting member33is a convex lens.

In this embodiment, the control device12includes a circuit board121, the circuit board121is connected with the earphone shell11through threads which is a stable connection structure, so that an effect of controlling light emission can be guaranteed. Of course, the circuit board121may also be connected to the earphone shell11by means of snap-up, adhesion, or the like. The first light source31is configured on the circuit board121, and a connection mode between the first light source31and the circuit board121can be gluing or soldering, so that it is convenient to assemble outside the earphone shell11, thereby reducing parts needed in the integral assembly of the headphone100and improving production efficiency. At the same time, a direct connection of the two can also save space and reduce wires needed, thereby making a compact structure and reserving space for an arrangement of the optical adjusting member33. Of course, a power supply may be configured on the circuit board121to supply electric energy. A charging interface may be provided to supply power to the headset100through an external power supply, and is not limited here. In particular, the optical adjusting member33is a convex lens, and the convex lens converges the light and reduces the degree of light divergence of the first light source31, so that even when a distance between the first light source31and the light emitting tube32is fixed, a utilization rate of light can be improved and the light emitting effect can be ensured. The convex lens may be biconvex, plano-convex, concave-convex or the like, and is not limited here.

It can be understood that the control device12also includes a control key122, which is mounted on the earphone shell11and exposed or semi-exposed on the surface of the earphone shell11, and is convenient for users to operate. The control key122is electrically connected to the circuit board121, so that different light emitting modes are changed by pressing the control key122. For example, the first light source31can be automatically triggered when the headset100plays sound, so that the light emitting tube32continuously emits light. When the control key122is pressed for different times, the continuous light emission is changed into intermittent light emission, and a duration of the intermittent light emission is continuously changed until the first light source31is turned off. Of course, when the headset100is not operating, the first light source31may be triggered by pressing the control key122, and the light emitting mode may be changed by the number of times the control key122is pressed. Of course, the control key122may be in the form of a knob or a touch, and is not limited here.

Further, the first light source31is located at a focus position of the optical adjusting member33, and the optical adjusting member33is attached to an end of the light emitting tube32. In particular, in order to minimize a divergence degree of light passing through the optical adjusting member33, the first light source31is arranged at the focal position of the optical adjusting member33, therefore, lights emitted from the first light source31pass through the optical adjusting member33and enter the light emitting tube32in parallel and parallel to an end extension line of the light emitting tube32, thereby further improving a light utilization rate of the first light source31and ensuring that the light enters smoothly from the end of the light emitting tube32. At the same time, since a shape of the light emitting tube32is also substantially arcuate, refraction or reflection occurs continuously during light transmission, so that luminance in the middle part of the light emitting tube32is relatively high. Therefore, a gradual light emitting effect is formed in a direction from the end to the middle part of the light emitting tube32. In particular, the optical adjusting member33may be attached to the end of the light emitting tube32, and an optional convex lens type is plano-convex, which is convenient to be connected with the end of the light emitting tube32, further compacting the structure and saving space in the earphone shell11.

Optionally, referring toFIGS. 8 and 9, the cross section of the light emitting tube32is circular, and a height of the optical adjusting member33is the same as an inner diameter of the light emitting tube32. The cross section of the light emitting tube32may be rectangular, circular, polygonal, or the like, and is not limited here. When the cross section of the light emitting tube32is circular, the light emitting tube32is circular. Therefore, the optical adjusting member33is a convex lens, and its height is a distance between two tips of the convex lens, and matches the inner diameter of the light emitting tube32, thereby ensuring that all light passing through the convex lens enters the light emitting tube32, and further improving the utilization rate of light. Of course, when the cross section of the light emitting tube32is rectangular or polygonal, the height of the optical adjusting member33may be matched with a maximum size of the cross section of the light emitting tube32to ensure a smooth entry of light. In this embodiment, the first light source31may be located at the focus position of the optical adjusting member33, or it may be set separately.

In order to further increase the light emitting area, in an optional embodiment, two light emitting tubes32are provided, the two light emitting tubes32are configured at intervals, and two ends of the two light emitting tubes32are respectively connected to the two earphone shells11.

In this embodiment, two light emitting tubes32are provided, the two light emitting tubes32are configured in parallel and at intervals, and two ends of each light emitting tube32are respectively connected with the two earphone shells11. Therefore, both the two light emitting tubes32emit lights, which increases the light emitting area of the first light emitting component30. More light emitting modes may be realized through simultaneous light emitting or alternate light emitting of the two light emitting tubes32, and the light emitting effect can be improved. In particular, shapes and lengths of the two light emitting tubes32are the same, which facilitates mass production and saves processing cost. Of course, the two light emitting tubes32may be different. Or, there may be three or more light emitting tubes32, so that the light emitting area can be further increased. Of course, there should not be too many light emitting tubes32.

Further, the first light source31is located on a center line of a line connecting two adjacent ends of the two light emitting tubes32, and the optical adjusting member33includes two mirror barrels331. An end of one mirror barrel331is communicated with an end of one of the light emitting tubes32, and the other end of the mirror barrel331half covers the first light source. In this embodiment, when there is only one light source, the light source is configured on the center line of the line connecting the two ends of the two light emitting tubes32in order to give consideration to light emitted by the two light emitting tubes32, so that the light emitted by the light source may uniformly enter the two light emitting tubes32, and the amount of light of the two light emitting tubes32is guaranteed.

Of course, in order to simultaneously improve the utilization rate of light of the first light source31, the optical adjusting member33includes two mirror barrels331, an inner surface of each mirror barrel331is a reflective surface, one end of each mirror barrel331covers the first light source31and covers half of the area of the first light source31. When light emitted from the first light source31enters the mirror barrel331, the light can be transmitted to the other end of the mirror barrel331by reflection of the reflective surface, thereby entering the light emitting tube32to emit light. In this way, all the light from the first light source31are utilized and transported to the two light emitting tubes32respectively, so that the utilization rate of light is improved to the maximum extent and the light emitting effect is ensured. Specifically, when the first light source31is a hemispherical lamp bead, a cross-sectional shape of the mirror barrel331may be set to be circular, and a plane where the end of the mirror barrel331connected to the first light source31is not perpendicular to its axial direction, so as to match with and cover the first light source31better.

In an optional embodiment, two first light sources31are provided, each of the first light sources31corresponds to one light emitting tube32, and the optical adjusting member33is a convex lens.

In this embodiment, two first light sources31are provided, that is, the first light sources31and the light emitting tubes32are in a one-to-one correspondence relationship. At this time, when the optical adjusting member33is a convex lens (not shown), a configuration relationship of the first light sources31and the optical adjusting member33may refer to a configuration setting of one first light source31and one light emitting tube32described above, and will not be described here.

In addition to the optical adjusting member33, in an optional embodiment, the first light emitting component30further includes two light masks34, with one light mask34covering one first light source31.

In this embodiment, in order to further ensure luminous efficiency of the first light sources31, the first light emitting component30further includes two light masks34, each of which covers one of the first light sources31. The light masks34may better concentrate light or soften the light to avoid dazzling light from the light emitting tube32. Light transmittance of the masks34must be within a certain range, so that light energy is not wasted too much in the masks34, and the light can be radiated out to a maximum extent. The masks34can be made of a material such as PC or glass with good light transmittance and heat resistance, and their shape may match a shape of the first light sources31, thereby significantly improving the utilization rate of light of the first light source31. Of course, when only one first light source31and only one light emitting tube32are provided, a mask34may be provided to cover the first light source31, improving the light emitting effect.

On the basis of all the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment, referring toFIGS. 4, 8 and 9, the light emitting tube32includes a light transmitting tube321, an optical fiber322provided in the light transmitting tube321, and a supporting member323. The optical fiber322is provided at a periphery of the supporting member323.

In this embodiment, the light emitting tube32includes a light transmitting tube321and an optical fiber322. The optical fiber322is short for light-guide fibre. The optical fiber322may be made of glass or plastic. As a light transmission member, it can realize total reflection of light and reduce light loss. The light transmitting tube321may be made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or plexiglass, which has good light transmitting performance. The optical fiber322is provided in the light transmitting tube321, so that more optical interference effects and diffraction effects are generated when light enters the light transmitting tube321, thereby generating more color changes and improving the luminous effect.

At the same time, because the optical fiber322is relatively soft, in order to support the optical fiber322to a certain extent, the light emitting tube32also includes a supporting member323. The supporting member323can be made of steel, such as stainless steel. A cross-sectional shape of the supporting member323may be rectangular or circular, and is not limited here. The optical fiber322is provided on a periphery of the supporting member323, and the supporting member323can support the optical fiber322, and an overall strength of the light emitting tube32is also improved, thereby effectively prolonging a service life of the light emitting tube32. Specifically, the optical fiber322may be disposed on a side of the supporting member323facing away from the connecting member20, so that the variable color generated by light passing through the optical fiber322can be directly emitted out, and the luminous effect can be effectively improved.

In an optional embodiment, a plurality of optical fibers322are provided. the plurality of optical fibers322are wound.

Or, the plurality of optical fibers322are configured around the supporting member323.

In particular, in order to further enhance a transmission rate of light, the plurality of optical fibers322are provided, and the plurality of optical fibers322may be directly wound with each other to form a bundle of optical fibers322with a larger diameter. As such, an arrangement of the plurality of optical fibers322can increase reflection and refraction of light, further increasing brightness of light.

Of course, in another embodiment, the plurality of optical fibers322may be wound around the supporting member323, so that a bundle of optical fibers322with a larger diameter can be formed by using fewer optical fibers322, and the reflection and refraction of light can be increased. At the same time, light can be emitted in all directions of the light transmitting tube321, and the light emitting effect of the light emitting tube32can be further improved.

Next, a specific structure of the second light emitting module40will be explained.

Referring toFIGS. 10 to 13, in an embodiment of the present application, each earphone shell11includes a body111and a cover plate112. The body111forms the accommodating cavity1112and is defined with a mounting opening1111communicated with the accommodating cavity1112. The cover plate112covers the mounting opening1111, and an edge of the mounting opening1111and the periphery of the cover plate112enclose to form an emitting channel11a.

In this embodiment, to facilitate the assembly of the second light emitting component40, each earphone shell11is provided with a body111and a cover plate112. The body111forms the accommodating cavity1112and a mounting opening1111communicating with the accommodating cavity1112. A shape of the mounting opening1111may be square, circular, polygonal, or the like. A shape of the cover plate112is matched with the mounting opening1111to define the required emitting channel11a, which not only achieves the luminous effect, but also prevents the emitting channel11afrom being too large and reduces the falling in of dust. Of course, the emitting channel11acan be formed by a portion of the periphery of the cover plate112and a portion of the periphery of the mounting opening1111, or the emitting channel11acan be formed by the entire periphery of the cover plate112and the entire periphery of the mounting opening1111, and is not limited here. Moreover, a connection of the cover plate112and the body111can be a threaded connection, so that the connection structure has high strength to improve the structural stability. Of course, the connection of the two can also be a snap connection or a plug connection.

And/or, the emitting channel11ais in an arcuate shape in a direction from the accommodating cavity1112to outside.

In particular, in one embodiment, in order to increase the luminous area, the emitting channel11ais configured in an annular shape, that is, the peripheral edge of the cover plate112and the entire periphery of the mounting opening1111enclose to form the emitting channel11a. On an outer surface of the earphone shell11, the emitting channel11ais annular, so that when light is emitted, an annular halo is formed, the light emitting area is large, light emitting brightness is improved and light emitted is more brilliant as not being blocked by a light transmitter. In particular, the emitting channel11amay be a circular, which conforms to an overall appearance shape of the earphone shell11, thereby increasing the light emitting area, and improving the light emitting effect. Of course, in other embodiments, the emitting channel11amay be square or polygonal.

Since the emitting channel11ais annular, in order to make the appearance more beautiful, the emitting channel11ahas an arc shape in the direction from the accommodating cavity1112to outside, that is, an inner surface of the emitting channel11ais an arc surface. Therefore, when the emitting channel11ais viewed from the outside, it is possible to avoid directly seeing internal components, and effectively improving aesthetics of the earphone shell11. At the same time, the arc inner surface can also make the light reflect and refract more, making emitted light softer and providing different types of luminous effects. Of course, in order to reduce a loss of light on the inner surface, it is also possible to coat a reflective surface or provide a member such as an optical fiber322in the emitting channel11a, thereby ensuring transmission energy of light, reducing the loss, ensuring brightness of exit light, and making the annular light halo of the earphone shell11more brilliant and eye-catching.

In an optional embodiment, a surface of the cover plate112is provided with a light-transmitting area (not shown).

In this embodiment, a surface of the earphone shell11has a light emitting effect through the emitting channel11a. At the same time, in order to further increase the light emitting area, the surface of the cover plate112is also provided with a light transmitting area. When the second light emitting component40emits light, the light may not only emit through the emitting channel11a, but also emit through the light transmitting area, further increasing an area and diversity of the light emitted, and effectively improving a decorative effect and overall aesthetics of the earphone shell11.

In an optional embodiment, the cover plate112is made of a light-transmitting material, the surface of the cover plate112is coated with a light-shielding layer, and a portion of the cover plate112that is not coated with the light-shielding layer is the light-transmitting area.

In this embodiment, the cover plate112is made of a light-transmitting material, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), with good structural stability. In order to facilitate processing, a light shielding layer is coated on the surface of the cover plate112, and the light shielding layer can block light from passing through, making the cover plate112opaque. On this basis, a portion of the light shielding layer is removed by laser engraving, so that the light transmitting area with a certain pattern is formed, and the light emitted by the second light emitting component40forms a light emitting effect with a specific pattern after being emitted, and the appearance is more beautiful. Moreover, the laser engraving makes the pattern more exquisite and ensures a light emitting range and effect.

Of course, in other embodiments, a central region of the cover plate112may be hollowed out to form the light-transmitting region, so that light directly passes through the hole-shaped light-transmitting region, reducing a loss of light, further improving brightness of light, and improving a luminous effect of the cover plate112. On this basis, optionally, a material of the cover plate112is an opaque material to prevent the light emitting area from being inconspicuous due to friction between the light and the light shielding layer, and to ensure that other parts except the light transmitting area can effectively block the light.

Optionally, referring toFIGS. 2 and 11, the second light emitting component40includes a second light source41and a light guide plate42, both of which are mounted on the body111, and light emitted by the second light source41is emitted to the emitting channel11aafter passing through the light guide plate42.

In this embodiment, the second light emitting component40includes a second light source41, which may also be an LED lamp bead and has high luminous efficiency. In particular, there may be one second light source41or two or more second light sources41, and the second light source(s) is(are) electrically connected to the control device12so as to emit light under a control of the control device12. Optionally, the control device12is a circuit board121to which the second light source41can be electrically connected through wires. In order to make the light emitted from the second light source(s)41emit from a desired position, the light from the second light source(s)41may be guided by the light guide plate42, improving light transmission efficiency. Specifically, the second light source(s)41and the light guide plate42may be in a side entry mode, that is, the second light source(s)41is(are) located on a side peripheral surface of the light guide plate42, and the light guide plate42guides light from one side to the other, so that a larger light emitting area can be obtained with fewer second light sources41.

In an optional embodiment, in order to have a circular halo of light, the light guide plate42is sandwiched between the body111and the cover plate112, one end of the emitting channel11ais abutted by a peripheral edge of the light guide plate42, the light guide plate42is defined with a center hole421, and the second light source(s)41is(are) provided in the center hole421. Specifically, the cover plate112includes a plate body, and a side plate provided at a periphery of the plate body, a mounting column1121is provided on an inner surface of the plate body, a mounting plate1114is formed on an inner surface of the mounting opening1111of the body111, the mounting plate1114is provided with a mounting hole1114a, the light guide plate42is provided with a connecting hole422at a position corresponding to the mounting column1121, and the mounting column1121is partially inserted into the connecting hole422and the mounting hole1114aand fixedly connected by fasteners. A plurality of mounting columns1121may be configured, and the plurality of mounting columns1121are evenly distributed on the surface of the plate body, realizing stability and uniformity of the connection structure. Therefore, the light emitted from the second light source(s)41is emitted to the inside of the light guide plate42from the inner surface of the center hole421, and is reflected and refracted a plurality of times on the surfaces of the light guide plate42, so that it reaches an edge position of the light guide plate42, and is emitted through the emitting channel11a. In particular, a size of the light guide plate42may be configured according to a size of the annular shape formed by the emitting channel11a, so that to ensure the light to incident into the emitting channel11aand improve the utilization rate of light of the second light source(s)41.

Of course, in other embodiments, the second light source41may be a direct light emitting mode, that is, the second light source41is located below a surface of the light guide plate42.

In order to further improve the utilization rate of light, in an optional embodiment, the second light emitting component40further includes a reflective plate43. The reflective plate43is provided on a surface of the light guide plate42facing away from the cover plate112, and the second light source(s)41is(are) mounted on the reflective plate43.

And/or, the surface of the light guide plate42facing away from the cover plate112is provided with a protrusion.

In particular, a reflective plate43is provided on the surface of the light guide plate42facing away from the cover plate112, and the second light source(s)41is(are) located in the center hole421, so that it can be mounted on the reflective plate43, thereby facilitating fixing and maintaining structural stability. In particular, the reflective plate43may be attached to the surface of the light guide plate42, or the reflective plate43and the light guide plate42can be integrated to one, so that light is prevented from leaking out of a gap between the light guide plate42and the reflective plate43, and the utilization rate of light is maximized. In particular, three second light sources41are provided, and the three second light sources41are fixed on one plate and uniformly distributed in the center hole421, so that the luminance in the emitting channel11ais improved. In order to avoid interference, an avoidance hole is formed in a middle of the mounting plate1114of the body111, and the reflective plate43can be located in the avoidance hole. The reflective plate43can reflect all the light from the light sources to the emitting channel11aor the cover plate112, thereby the effective utilization rate of light is effectively improved.

At the same time, a plurality of protrusions may be provided on the surface of the light guide plate42. The protrusions may be made by screen printing. The plurality of protrusions have a same size and are evenly distributed on the surface of the light guide plate42, so that the reflection probability can be increased through the protrusions, uniformity in the light transmission process may be effectively improved, and light uniformity can be improved, so that brightness of each part of the annular halo is guaranteed to be the same, and the luminous effect is improved. Of course, it is also possible to provide concave points on the surface of the light guide plate42, or fill the light guide plate42with light-homogenizing powder, bubble points, etc., so as to achieve a better optical effect.

In addition, a brightness enhancement film, such as a prism sheet or a reflective polarizer, can be added between the light guide plate42and the reflective plate43, so that the brightness and luminous efficiency of light emitted from the emitting channel11ais improved, and the light emitting effect is effectively guaranteed.

In order to improve uniformity of light emission, in an optional embodiment, when the surface of the cover plate112is provided with the light-transmitting area, the second light emitting component40further includes a light-homogenizing plate (not shown), which is provided between the light guide plate42and the cover plate112. The light of the second light source(s)41passes through the light guide plate42and then passes through the light-homogenizing plate to the light-transmitting area.

In this embodiment, a light-homogenizing plate can be provided between the light guide plate42and the cover plate112, and the material of the light-homogenizing plate can be Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) acrylic material, polyvinyl chloride, or the like, which is not limited here, thereby uniformly dispersing the light and ensuring uniformity of the light emitted to the light transmission region.

In one embodiment of the present application, referring toFIGS. 13 to 15, an opening1113communicating with the accommodating cavity1112is formed on a side of the body111facing away from the mounting opening1111. Each earplug component10further includes a supporting frame13, a speaker14, and a sound chamber cover15. The supporting frame13is connected to the body111and covers the opening1113, and the supporting frame13is defined with a sound exit hole132. The speaker14is connected to the supporting frame13and located in the accommodating cavity1112. The sound chamber cover15is located in the accommodating cavity1112, and encloses the supporting frame13to form a sound chamber, and the sound exit hole132is communicated with the sound chamber.

It is understood that, the sound chamber is formed by enclosure of the sound chamber cover15and the supporting frame13, as the speaker14operates, a sound emitted by the speaker14toward the sound chamber is blocked by the sound chamber cover15, and after being reflected by the sound chamber cover15, the sound is transmitted in a direction toward the sound exit hole132. Further, the sound emitted by the operation of the speaker14is directed to diffuse in the direction toward the sound exit hole132, so as to increase a sound sense effect of the sound exit hole132of the earplug component10, improve a sound quality of the headset100and enhance a somatosensory vibration effect, improve usability of the headset100, and effectively improve user experience.

Further, referring toFIGS. 16 and 17, a surface of the supporting frame13facing the accommodating cavity1112is recessed to define a mounting groove131, the speaker14is fitted in the mounting groove131, and the sound chamber cover15covers an opening of the mounting groove131to form the sound chamber. The mounting groove131is formed in the supporting frame13to facilitate positioning and mounting of the speaker14, improving accuracy and efficiency of mounting. At the same time, after the speaker14is embedded in the mounting groove131, a circumferential side surface of the speaker14is abutted and limited by inner surfaces of the mounting groove131, so as to ensure stability of the speaker14after mounting, preventing the speaker14from shaking during operation and affecting the sound sense quality. The sound exit hole132is communicated with a groove bottom surface of the mounting groove131. The sound chamber cover15covers the opening of the mounting groove131to enclose the sound chamber, so that the speaker14is completely accommodated in the sound chamber, thereby ensuring that the sound emitted by the speaker14is directed toward the sound exit hole132and diffuses, to increase a sound sense effect of the sound exit hole132of the earplug component10.

Optionally, the sound chamber cover15is detachably connected to the supporting frame13. It can be understood that the sound chamber cover15can be detachably connected to the supporting frame13by means of a snap or threaded connection, so as to facilitate operators to install or detach the sound chamber cover15and improve the operation efficiency. Specifically, by forming external threads at a periphery of an outer surface of the sound chamber cover15, and forming internal threads on an inner surface of the mounting groove131of the supporting frame13, connection and cooperation of the external threads and the internal threads not only ensure connection and fixation of the sound chamber cover15and the supporting frame13, but also improve a sealing performance of a joint between the sound chamber cover15and the supporting frame13, preventing the sound emitted by the speaker14during operation from leaking from the joint between the sound chamber cover15and the supporting frame13. In addition, the earplug component10may also be provided with a sealing member, which is clamped by the sound chamber cover15and the supporting frame13to further seal the sound chamber, and further prevent the sound emitted by the speaker14from leaking from the joint of the sound chamber cover15and the supporting frame13. It will be understood that the material of the sealing member can be an elastic material such as plastic, silica gel, or rubber, and therefore the sound chamber cover15may press a side surface of the sealing member to form appropriate bending and deformation of the sealing member, thereby ensuring a better blocking effect.

In one embodiment of the present application, referring toFIGS. 13 and 16, the earplug component10further includes a vibration motor16and a main control board17. The main control board17is electrically connected to the speaker14and the vibration motor16respectively. The vibration motor16is connected to the supporting frame13and is located in the accommodating cavity1112. The main control board17is connected to the sound chamber cover15and is located in the accommodating cavity1112. The main control board17is electrically connected to the speaker14and the vibration motor16respectively, so that the main control board17can select and output corresponding subwoofer signals to the speaker14and the vibration motor16according to the received control signals for control, to improve user's subwoofer feeling and meet user's needs. In addition, the vibration motor16is connected to the supporting frame13and may be located on a same surface of the supporting frame13as the sound chamber cover15, so that it is not only convenient for operators to mount and improve mounting efficiency, but also makes the vibration motor16closer the human ear. Therefore, the user may more easily obtain a vibration feeling and improve the use experience. The main control board17is connected to the sound chamber cover15and disposed away from the vibration motor16, so that normal operation of the main control board17is prevented from being affected when the vibration motor16vibrates. The vibration motor16and the main control board17are both located in the accommodating cavity1112, so as to facilitate the electrical connection between the vibration motor16and the main control board17, and effectively protect the vibration motor16and the main control board17. The vibration motor16and the speaker14may be independently controlled by the main control board17, or the main control board17can be electrically connected to the control device12to simultaneously control the vibration motor16, the speaker14, the first light emitting member30, and the second light emitting member40through the control device12.

Further, referring toFIG. 18, a surface of the sound chamber cover15facing the vibration motor16is recessed to define an avoidance groove152, and a portion of the vibration motor16is received in the avoidance groove152. By enabling a portion of the vibration motor16to be accommodated in the avoidance groove152of the sound chamber cover15, both the sound chamber cover15and the vibration motor16can be mounted more compactly. Further, a volume of a whole structure of the earplug component10is avoided to be too large. It should be noted that there is a certain gap between the vibration motor16and walls of the avoidance groove152of the sound chamber cover15, so as to prevent the vibration motor16from hitting on the sound chamber cover15when vibrating, so as to ensure a normal service life of the vibration motor16and the sound chamber cover15.

Further, wall surfaces of the avoidance groove152of the sound chamber cover15is configured as arc surfaces. It can be understood that the wall surfaces of the sound chamber cover15is configured as arc surfaces, so as to prevent operators from being easily hurt by a sharp end surface during installation, improve safety during installation, meanwhile, the operators are facilitated to hold and install, and the overall sound chamber cover15is made to be more beautiful.

Optionally, the main control board17is connected to the surface of the sound chamber cover15facing away from the supporting frame13, and the surface of the sound chamber cover15facing away from the supporting frame13is configured as a plane. In order to prevent the main control board17from being affected by vibration of the vibration motor16, the main control board17can be connected and fixed on the surface of the sound chamber cover15facing away from the supporting frame13, and by making the surface of the sound chamber cover15facing away from the supporting frame13as a plane, the main control board17can be more stably placed on the sound chamber cover15, thereby improving stability of the main control board17after installation, and ensuring the normal operation of the main control board17.

Optionally, a circumferential outer surface of the sound chamber cover15is protruded with anti-slip protrusions (not shown). Specifically, in order to prevent the operators from releasing the sound chamber cover15when installing the sound chamber cover15, an anti-skid protrusion is protruded on the circumferential outer interface of the sound chamber cover15to improve a friction force between the operators and the sound chamber cover15, and the anti-skid protrusion can be provided in a long strip shape or a dot shape, making it difficult for the operators to release the sound chamber cover15and saving labor. In particular, the number and size of the anti-skid protrusions can be set according to a specific size of the sound chamber cover15, and will not be described here.

In an embodiment of the present application, referring toFIGS. 17 and 19, the supporting frame13is provided with two limiting protrusions133, and each limiting protrusion133is defined with a limiting groove1331. The vibration motor16is provided with two limiting blocks161. One of the limiting blocks161is embedded in one of the limiting grooves1331of the limiting protrusions133, so that the vibration motor16is fixed to the supporting frame13. The two limiting blocks161are provided at opposite ends of the vibration motor16, so that the vibration motor16is balanced in force after being installed and fixed. The limiting grooves1331are provided on the two limiting protrusions133to facilitate installation and positioning of the two limiting blocks161and improve installation efficiency. The limiting blocks161is effectively limited and abutted by the limiting grooves1331to prevent the vibration motor16from being separated from the limiting protrusions133during the vibration process, so as to ensure a normal operation of the vibration motor16. In addition, each, limiting block161is defined with a first threaded hole1611, and each limiting protrusion133is provided with a second threaded hole1332. The earplug component10is also provided with a connecting screw that passes through the first threaded hole1611and the second threaded hole1332in sequence to further fix the limiting block161to the limiting protrusion133. It should be noted that there can be a plurality of limiting blocks161and a plurality of limiting protrusions133, to further improve the stability of the vibration motor16after installation, and the specific number can be selected by a person skilled in the art and will not be described here.

In an embodiment of the present application, referring toFIG. 15, there are a plurality of vibration motors16, and the plurality of vibration motors16are connected to the surface of the supporting frame13facing the accommodating cavity1112and configured at intervals along a circumferential direction of the speaker14. In particular there are a plurality of vibration motors16and in this way, a sound sense effect of the earplug component10may be further improved. With the plurality of vibration motors16connected to the surface of the supporting frame13facing the accommodating cavity1112, and configured at intervals along the circumferential direction of the speaker14, the whole earplug component10is balanced in force, and at the same time, the user obtains the same vibration sense from multiple directions, thereby improving the user's experience. It can be understood that when a plurality of vibration motors16are provided, the sound chamber cover15is defined with an avoidance groove152corresponding to each vibration motor16, so as to make internal components of the earplug component10more compact to effectively utilize the internal space of the earplug component10.
