Abstract

The embodiments of the present disclosure provide wearable devices and wearable members. The wearable member may include: a housing including a concave section, wherein a top wall of the concave section forms a downward hollow in a wearing state, and a bottom wall of the concave section includes a first sound output hole; and a speaker disposed in the concave section, wherein a resonant cavity is formed between the speaker and a first sidewall of the housing, and the first sound output hole communicates with the resonant cavity.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A wearable member, comprising:
a housing including a concave section, wherein a top wall of the concave section forms a downward hollow in a wearing state, and a bottom wall of the concave section includes a first sound output hole; and a speaker disposed in the concave section, wherein a resonant cavity is formed between the speaker and a first sidewall of the housing, and the first sound output hole communicates with the resonant cavity.

2 . The wearable member of claim 1 , wherein in a direction related to a space between the speaker and the first sidewall of the housing, a thickness of one end of the resonant cavity close to the first sound output hole is greater than a thickness of one end of the resonant cavity away from the first sound output hole.

3 . The wearable member of claim 2 , wherein the thickness of the resonant cavity gradually decreases along a direction from the end of the resonant cavity closed to the first sound output hole to the end of the resonant cavity away from the first sound output hole.

4 . The wearable member of claim 2 , comprising a shield disposed between the speaker and the housing, wherein
the resonant cavity is formed between the speaker and the shield; and a distance between one end of the shield close to the first sound output hole and a diaphragm plane of the speaker is greater than a distance between one end of the shield away from the first sound output hole and the diaphragm plane of the speaker.

5 . The wearable member of claim 4 , wherein the shield includes a first cover and a second cover connected to each other, a distance between the first cover and the diaphragm plane of the speaker is greater than a distance between the second cover and the diaphragm plane of the speaker, and the first cover is disposed adjacent to the first sound output hole.

6 . The wearable member of claim 5 , wherein the first cover has a first plane towards the speaker, the second cover has a second plane towards the speaker, and the first plane and the second plane are parallel to the diaphragm plane of the speaker, respectively.

7 . The wearable member of claim 6 , wherein the shield further includes a third cover, the third cover is connected between the first cover and the second cover, the third cover has a transition surface towards the speaker, two opposite edges of the transition surface connect the first plane and the second plane, respectively, and a distance between the transition surface and the diaphragm plane of the speaker gradually decreases from the first plane to the second plane.

8 . The wearable member of claim 2 , wherein the resonant cavity is directly formed between the speaker and the first sidewall of the housing, a distance between one end of the sidewall of the housing close to the first sound output hole and a diaphragm plane of the speaker is greater than a distance between one end of the sidewall of the housing away from the first sound output hole and the diaphragm plane of the speaker.

9 . The wearable member of claim 1 , wherein
the bottom wall of the concave section includes the first sound output hole and a second sound output hole; the first sound output hole is disposed corresponding to a bottom of the hollow; the second sound output hole communicates with the resonant cavity; the first sound output hole and the second sound output hole are relatively located on adjacent sides of the resonant cavity; the first sound output hole and the second sound output hole are both configured for outputting sound; and the second sound output hole is further configured for improving a resonant frequency of the resonant cavity.

10 . The wearable member of claim 9 , wherein a shape of a cross-section of the resonant cavity perpendicular to a direction related to a space between the speaker and the first sidewall of the housing is a rectangle, and the first sound output hole and the second sound output hole are disposed on a first side and a second side of the rectangle adjacent to each other, respectively.

11 . The wearable member of claim 10 , wherein a ratio of a length of the second sound output hole along an extension direction of the second side to a length of the second side is greater than or equal to 0.1 and less than or equal to 0.7.

12 . The wearable member of claim 10 , wherein
the second sound output hole extends from one end of the second side close to the first side to the other end of the second side away from the first side; and the first side is a short side of the rectangle, and the second side is a long side of the rectangle.

13 . The wearable member of claim 9 , wherein
the second sound output hole and the first sound output hole are disposed on the bottom wall at intervals; or the second sound output hole communicates with the first sound output hole on the bottom wall.

14 . The wearable member of claim 9 , wherein
the concave section includes a first bending portion and a second bending portion, the first bending portion is in bending connection with the second bending portion, the hollow is formed between a top wall of the first bending portion and a top wall of the second bending portion, and the speaker is disposed on the second bending portion; and the bottom wall of the concave section includes a first bottom surface, a second bottom surface, and a third bottom surface, the first bottom surface is in bending connection with the second bottom surface, the second bottom surface is in bending connection with the third bottom surface, the first bottom surface is located at the first bending portion, the second bottom surface and the third bottom surface are located at the second bending portion, the first sound output hole is disposed on the second bottom surface, and the second sound output hole is disposed on the third bottom surface.

15 . The wearable member of claim 14 , wherein the first sidewall faces a head of a user in the wearing state, and a side of the speaker away from the resonant cavity is attached to a second sidewall of the concave section.

16 . The wearable member of claim 15 , wherein the second sidewall further includes at least one soundproof hole, the soundproof hole is disposed on the second bending portion, and the speaker covers the soundproof hole.
