Definitions
- the present invention relates to a microphone pad and an earphone provided with the pad.
- the present invention relates to an earpad which is removably mounted in an ear hole (external ear canal) and an earphone provided with the pad.
- an ear plug 51 of this type has a front end of a hollow cylindrical main body 52 facing the rear end side.
- a fitting portion 53 made of a thin spherical silicone rubber or the like is provided to fit the external auditory canal with the fitting portion, and to provide radial flexibility to the size of the external auditory canal.
- the pad 51 as described above When the ear pad 51 as described above is inserted into the ear canal and installed, the pad can be inserted because the softness is provided by the fitting part 53, but the inner wall entrance of the ear canal is on the back side.
- the taper has a small diameter so that when inserted, the fitting part 53 is crushed as shown in the figure; Only the frictional force between the outer surface of the fitting portion 53 and the inner wall of the ear canal prevents the force P in the direction of removal. Therefore, if the fitting portion 53 of the cap pad 51 is too soft, the frictional force is small and it becomes easy to come out. If it is too hard, the inner wall of the ear canal is pressed, and even if worn for a short time, it is painful.
- FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the ear pad 51 in which the fitting portion 53 of the ear pad 51 is deformed.
- the dimensional relationship is delicate. If 3 is larger than the ear canal, the spherical outer surface is integrated, so there is no escape place for deformation, and deformation occurs, and a gap 55 is formed in a part of the circumference of the fitting 53, resulting in poor sound insulation. . For this reason, it is not possible to support the size of the pad 51 as S, M, and L in consideration of individual differences. Also, when worn, almost the entire outer surface of the fitting portion 53 comes into close contact with the inner wall of the ear canal, so that the skin is easily irritated by sensitive people, etc. It is easier to get out and sweat and fat.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, has a soft wearability that does not stimulate a sensitive tactile sensation of the ear canal, and can flexibly respond to individual differences in the shape and size of the ear canal. Despite being able to wear and remove smoothly, it is hardly affected by the decrease in frictional force due to sweat or fat, and it is difficult for people with weak skin to get stuffy or rash, and it can be used without discomfort
- An object of the present invention is to provide an earpad that is effective against force, hardly comes off, can attenuate external intrusion noise, has excellent sealing and sound insulation, and an earphone provided with the pad. And Disclosure of the invention
- the present invention is intended to be detachably mounted in an ear canal, and is formed in a hollow cylindrical shape from an elastic material such as rubber such as silicone rubber or a soft synthetic resin such as polypropylene.
- a plurality of pleated sound insulating walls made of the same material as the main body are provided integrally on the outer peripheral surface of the main body in a ring shape at predetermined intervals in the axial direction.
- the sound insulation wall that contacts the inner wall of the ear canal at the outer peripheral edge is bent to the rear end side, and the sound insulation wall is bent between the adjacent sound insulation walls.
- a closed space may be formed at the interval of.
- the sound insulation wall may be such that the diameter of the sound insulation wall on the distal end side is gradually reduced.
- the sound insulation wall is provided in a direction perpendicular to the center axis of the main body, and has a wall thickness on the outer peripheral edge. It is preferable to make it thinner toward.
- the sound insulation wall may have the same diameter, may be slightly inclined to the rear end side, and may be thinner toward the outer peripheral edge.
- the sound insulation wall may include a sound absorbing foam.
- the maximum outer diameter may be smaller than twice the outer diameter of the main body. Further, five or more and ten or less sound insulation walls may be provided on the outer peripheral surface of the main body.
- ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, it can have soft wearability which does not stimulate the sensitive tactile sense of an external auditory canal. That is, even if there are individual differences in the shape and size of the ear canal, and even if the same person has a difference in the size of the left and right ear canals, all of them can be flexibly handled. Moreover, it is smooth and easy to put on and take off, is not easily affected by the reduction of frictional force due to sweat or grease, and is in contact with the inner wall of the ear canal at a point, not on the surface like the conventional fitting part, so Even weak people are less likely to have stuffiness or rash in their ears, so they will not feel uncomfortable when worn for a long time. Also, once attached, it is hard to come off and the attachment is stable. When the sound insulation wall forms a closed space, it has extremely high decay to incoming sounds.

- the earphone body 3 comprises a hollow spherical body 4 and a hollow cylindrical body 6 of a predetermined length formed integrally with the spherical body so as to protrude from a part of the spherical body and having a distal end opening 5 communicating with the inside of the spherical body 4.
- a speaker 7 is disposed facing the opening 5 at the tip of the hollow cylindrical body 6.
- the hollow cylindrical body 6 is formed so that the distal end side gradually becomes smaller in diameter, and an annular locking recess 8 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the distal end side.
- An annular locking projection 9 formed on the inner peripheral surface on the rear end side of the ear pad 1 is locked in the locking recess 8, whereby the ear pad 1 is attached to the tip of the earphone body 3. .
- the earpad 1 is made of silicone rubber suitable for a living body, and is detachably mounted in the ear canal as shown in FIGS. 2A to 2D.
- the front and rear portions are formed in a hollow cylindrical shape. It has a body 11 with open ends.
- the outer peripheral surface on the tip side of the main body 11 is gradually reduced in diameter.
- On the outer peripheral surface of the main body 11 including the surface a number of thin pleated sound insulating walls 12 made of the same material as the main body 11 are formed in a ring shape at predetermined intervals in the axial direction, and the sound insulating walls 12 on the distal end side are gradually formed. Are provided integrally so as to have a small diameter.
- These sound insulation walls 12 are provided in a direction orthogonal to the central axis of the main body 11. These sound insulation walls 12 constitute a spherical bulging part 13 corresponding to the conventional fitting part 53.
- the hardness of the cap 1 is preferably 30 degrees, 40 degrees, or 50 degrees as measured by a JIS hardness tester.
- the sound insulation wall 12 has a maximum outer diameter D 1 smaller than twice the outer diameter d of the main body 11, and a minimum outer diameter D 2 is slightly larger than the outer diameter d of the main body 11.
- the sound insulating wall 12 does not stimulate the sensitive tactile sensation of the external auditory canal, and the wall thickness T is reduced toward the outer peripheral edge in order to maintain the soft wearing property required for the ear pad 1.
- the distance H between the sound insulating walls 1 2 is larger than the thickness T of the sound insulating walls 12.
- the entire pad 1 including the sound insulating wall 12 contains many air bubbles, and the sound absorbing property is maintained by the air bubbles.
- the locking projection 9 of the ear pad 1 is formed between an annular recess 14 formed at the rearmost end of the main body 11 and an annular recess 15 formed at an intermediate portion.
- An example of the best size of each part in the earpad 1 is as follows.
- the axial length L of the main body 1 1 is 9 mm, the outer diameter d is 8 turns, the maximum wall thickness T of the main body 1 1 side of the sound insulation wall 1 2 is 0.5 min, the maximum outer diameter D 1 is 1 4 mm, the minimum outer diameter D2 is 8.5 thighs, and the interval H between the sound insulation walls 12 is 1 mm to 1.3 mm.
- the earphone 2 with the earphone 1 attached as shown above is shown in FIG.
- the ear pad 1 When the ear pad 1 is inserted into the ear canal with the front end facing the ear, the inner wall of the ear canal and the outer peripheral edge of the sound insulation wall 12 come into contact, and the sound insulation wall 12 of the contacted ear pad 1 bends (falls) to the rear end side. And it is gradually inserted until the fitting position.
- the sound insulation wall 1 2 has a wedge-like shape as shown by the arrow, the inner wall of the ear canal is deformed so as to be hooked on the outer periphery of the sound insulation wall 12. It will be caught and generate a force that makes it difficult to pull out. Therefore, the mounting is extremely stable.
- the conventional ear pad 51 has only one fitting section 53 for maintaining the sound insulation effect, whereas the ear pad 1 has a large number of independent sound insulation walls 12. Even if one of them is deformed and a gap like that in the past is created, the effect on other sound insulation walls does not occur unless it touches, and the sound insulation wall of each ear canal shape 1 and 2 fit independently. Therefore, the damping property is much higher than the conventional one.
- the earphone 2 is effective in using the earphone 2 where there is noise because it is strong against detachment after mounting and has high attenuation against external sound, and is an indispensable noise countermeasure as a noise countermeasure.
- Pad 1
- the jacket according to this embodiment The pad 21 is also made of silicone rubber suitable for a living body similarly to the pad 1 and is attached to the front end of the earphone main body 3.
- the front and rear ends are formed in a hollow cylindrical shape. It has a body 31 open at both ends.
- the main body 31 has an annular locking convex portion 29 at an intermediate portion, and annular concave portions 34 and 35 formed before and after that.
- On the outer peripheral surface of the main body 31 a large number of thin pleated sound insulating walls 32 made of the same material as the main body 31 are integrally provided in a ring shape at predetermined intervals in the axial direction. These many sound insulation walls 32 constitute a pad section 33 corresponding to the conventional fitting section 53.
- the sound insulation walls 32 all have the same outer diameter and are slightly inclined to the rear end.
- the outer diameter D 3 of the sound insulation wall 32 is smaller than twice the outer diameter d 1 of the main body 31.
- the sound insulation wall 32 does not stimulate the sensitive tactile sensation of the external auditory canal, and the wall thickness T1 is reduced toward the outer peripheral edge in order to maintain the soft fit required for the earpad 21.
- the distance H1 between the sound insulation walls 32 is smaller than the thickness T1 of the sound insulation wall 32, but may be larger.
- the entire pad 21 including the sound insulating wall 32 contains a large number of air bubbles, and the sound absorbing property is maintained by the air bubbles.
- each part in the earpad 21 is as follows.
- the axial length L1 of the main body 3 1 is 7.5 mm
- the outer diameter D3 is 12 mm
