The transmitting and receiving unit 30 includes components such as a main chip and a transmitting module. Used to transmit signals and receive signals.

請同時參考圖1及圖2,其中圖2為沿著圖1中2-2線的剖視圖,其顯示纜線12的內部結構(未包括外披層18的虛線部分)。上述軟管段10,或可稱為耳掛部,包括有一所述的纜線12、一固定於該纜線12一端的第一定位連接件14及一固定於該纜線12另一端的第二定位連接件16。上述聽筒20連接於該軟管段10的第一定位連接件14。上述發射接收部30連接於該軟管段10的第二定位連接件16。纜線12作為聽筒20與發射接收部30之間傳輸訊號之用。Referring to both FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 2-2 of FIG. 1, showing the internal structure of the cable 12 (the dotted portion of the outer layer 18 is not included). The hose section 10, which may be referred to as an ear hook portion, includes a cable 12, a first positioning connector 14 fixed to one end of the cable 12, and a first portion fixed to the other end of the cable 12. Two positioning connectors 16. The earpiece 20 is coupled to the first positioning connector 14 of the hose section 10. The above-mentioned transmitting and receiving portion 30 is connected to the second positioning connecting member 16 of the hose section 10. The cable 12 serves as a signal for transmission between the earpiece 20 and the transmitting and receiving unit 30.

本發明的特點之一在於上述纜線12的結構,請參考圖2,該纜線12具有一可定型的金屬線121、多數訊號線123置於該金屬線121的外圍、及一包覆該些訊號線123的絕緣包覆層125。本實施例的金屬線121位於該纜線12中心,其數量可以是至少一個,訊號線123鄰近該金屬線121即可。請同時參考圖1,軟管段10的最外層還包括一外披層18,外披層18的兩端分別固定地連接於該第一定位連接件14及該第二定位連接件16,且完全地包覆該纜線12。上述金屬線121可以是沒有絕緣護套的裸線,可不用以傳輸訊號,亦即為非傳輸訊號的啞線(dummy line),或者也可以設計作為天線以收發無線通訊訊號。每一該訊號線123包括一訊號線導電芯1231及一包覆於上述訊號線導電芯1231外圍的訊號線絕緣層1232,以提供訊號傳輸功能。訊號線123的數量可依傳輸訊號的多寡而調整。訊號線絕緣層1232用以與上述金屬線121隔絕。絕緣包覆層125將內部金屬線121與訊號線123包覆成一條複合材質線材。One of the features of the present invention is the structure of the cable 12. Referring to FIG. 2, the cable 12 has a configurable metal wire 121, a plurality of signal wires 123 are disposed on the periphery of the wire 121, and a cover The insulating coating 125 of the signal lines 123. The metal wire 121 of this embodiment is located at the center of the cable 12, and the number thereof may be at least one, and the signal line 123 may be adjacent to the metal wire 121. Referring to FIG. 1 at the same time, the outermost layer of the hose section 10 further includes an outer layer 18, and two ends of the outer layer 18 are fixedly connected to the first positioning connector 14 and the second positioning connector 16, respectively. The cable 12 is completely covered. The metal wire 121 may be a bare wire without an insulating sheath, and may not be used to transmit a signal, that is, a dummy line that is not a transmission signal, or may be designed as an antenna to transmit and receive wireless communication signals. Each of the signal lines 123 includes a signal line conductive core 1231 and a signal line insulating layer 1232 wrapped around the periphery of the signal line conductive core 1231 to provide a signal transmission function. The number of signal lines 123 can be adjusted according to the number of transmitted signals. The signal line insulating layer 1232 is used to isolate the metal line 121 from the above. The insulating coating 125 coats the inner metal line 121 and the signal line 123 into a composite material wire.

上述金屬線121可定型的意思是具有固定在一預定形狀的能力,例如金屬線121可以是具有一定直徑的裸銅線、裸鐵線或鋼線,可依所需的彎折力度,採用不同直徑與材質的金屬線,例如介於1mm至2mm之間的銅線,其具有一定的塑性,以供彎折後, 可以固定或調整於一預定彎折形狀。此外,整體的纜線12直徑較佳是不超過3mm。就本實施例而言,預定彎折形狀乃是依據人體耳朵的外形而決定。一種可實施的方式,金屬線121也可以是一形狀記憶合金線(Shape Memory Alloys,SMA),先被塑造成一預定彎折形狀,藉由加熱後可恢復變形前的形狀。此特性,有助於本實施例後續製程中維持於預定的形狀。The above-mentioned metal wire 121 can be shaped to have the ability to be fixed in a predetermined shape. For example, the metal wire 121 can be a bare copper wire, a bare wire or a steel wire having a certain diameter, and can be different according to the required bending strength. A metal wire of diameter and material, such as a copper wire between 1 mm and 2 mm, which has a certain plasticity for bending, It can be fixed or adjusted to a predetermined bending shape. Further, the overall cable 12 preferably has a diameter of no more than 3 mm. For the present embodiment, the predetermined bending shape is determined according to the shape of the human ear. In an implementation manner, the metal wire 121 may also be a Shape Memory Alloys (SMA), which is first shaped into a predetermined bending shape, and the shape before deformation can be restored by heating. This feature contributes to the maintenance of the predetermined shape in the subsequent process of the embodiment.

本發明的優點之一在於,上述纜線12藉由金屬線121的影響,可以設計為想要的形狀,接近符合人體耳朵的形狀。與習知技術比較,習知技術只有軟性塑料,可彎折但沒有定型功能,無法緊密服貼並穩定固持於人體耳朵。本發明可定型的功能,適合作為運動型電子產品,例如運動型耳掛式耳機,符合人體工學與穩定固持性的高度要求。One of the advantages of the present invention is that the above-described cable 12 can be designed into a desired shape by the influence of the metal wire 121, and is close to the shape conforming to the human ear. Compared with the prior art, the conventional technology is only a soft plastic, which can be bent but has no stereotype function, and cannot be closely attached and stably held in the human ear. The styling function of the invention is suitable as a sports electronic product, such as a sports ear-hook earphone, which meets the high requirements of ergonomics and stable holding.

本發明進一步利用上述纜線12含有金屬線121的結構,而達成本發明的軟管結構的製造方法,解決習知技術在產品表面開孔而破壞產品外觀的缺點。本發明的軟管結構的製造方法包括下列步驟: 如圖3所示,首先,提供一纜線12,纜線12的結構如上面所述包括一可定型且位於該纜線12中心的金屬線121、多個訊號線123、及上述絕緣包覆層125。金屬線121提供定型功能,可依所需的彎折程度及力度,採用不同直徑與材質的金屬線。The present invention further utilizes the structure in which the cable 12 includes the metal wire 121, and achieves the manufacturing method of the hose structure of the present invention, which solves the disadvantage that the prior art breaks the surface of the product to damage the appearance of the product. The method of manufacturing the hose structure of the present invention comprises the following steps: As shown in FIG. 3, firstly, a cable 12 is provided. The structure of the cable 12 includes a metal wire 121, a plurality of signal wires 123, and the above-mentioned insulating coating which are configurable and located at the center of the cable 12 as described above. Layer 125. The wire 121 provides a sizing function that allows metal wires of different diameters and materials to be used depending on the degree of bending and strength required.

接著,固定一第一定位連接件14於該纜線12的一端,並固定一第二定位連接件16於該纜線12的另一端。其中該纜線12依一預定彎折形狀被彎折成型。Next, a first positioning connector 14 is fixed to one end of the cable 12, and a second positioning connector 16 is fixed to the other end of the cable 12. The cable 12 is bent and formed in a predetermined bending shape.

如圖4所示,然後將該纜線12、該第一定位連接件14及該第二定位連接件16固定地置入一軟管模具M內,軟管模具M為軟管段10的模具,以進行射出成型。軟管模組M具有外披層模穴C,其形狀對應於上述外披層18的形狀,纜線12大體位於外披層模穴C的中間。As shown in FIG. 4, the cable 12, the first positioning connector 14 and the second positioning connector 16 are then fixedly placed in a hose mold M, which is a mold of the hose segment 10. For injection molding. The hose module M has an outer jacket cavity C having a shape corresponding to the shape of the outer jacket 18, and the cable 12 is generally located in the middle of the outer jacket cavity C.

然後,由注塑口I注入塑料於該軟管模具M的外披層模穴C內,以形成一包覆該纜線12並局部包覆該第一定位連接件14及該第二定位連接件16的外披層18。注塑的過程,本發明藉由特製的纜線12內的金屬線121可以增強纜線12整體的剛性,提供足夠的支撐性(不易變形的特性),纜線12可容易定位於上述外披層模穴C內,可抵擋射出成型過程注程中的射出壓力,使纜線12不會偏移到產品表面而導致外觀不良。因此本發明的軟管結構不需要在產品表面開孔,以供模內治具在注塑過程中固持住纜線12。因此製程設計不會影響整體外觀。Then, plastic is injected into the outer layer mold cavity C of the hose mold M from the injection port I to form a cover of the cable 12 and partially cover the first positioning connector 14 and the second positioning connector. 16 outer layer 18. In the process of injection molding, the present invention can enhance the rigidity of the cable 12 as a whole by the metal wire 121 in the special cable 12, providing sufficient support (non-deformable characteristics), and the cable 12 can be easily positioned on the outer layer. In the cavity C, the injection pressure in the injection molding process can be resisted, so that the cable 12 does not shift to the surface of the product, resulting in poor appearance. Thus, the hose structure of the present invention does not require openings in the surface of the product for the in-mold fixture to hold the cable 12 during the injection molding process. Therefore, the process design does not affect the overall appearance.

特別說明的一點,本發明在上述注入塑料的步驟中,一種較佳的方式,包括以該第一定位連接件14及該第二定位連接件16的中間點為注塑口,並且更合適的是,注塑口I面向纜線12的內側彎曲的部位。此種安排的優點在於,塑料射出時的沖力正好位於纜線12的中間,兩邊力量平衡,更不會影響纜線12偏移原來的位置。Specifically, in the above-described step of injecting plastic, the present invention includes an intermediate point of the first positioning connector 14 and the second positioning connector 16 as an injection port, and more suitably The injection port I faces the portion where the inner side of the cable 12 is bent. The advantage of this arrangement is that the impact of the plastic injection is located in the middle of the cable 12, the balance of the two sides, and will not affect the original position of the cable 12.

The outer layer 18 is indicated by a broken line. In this embodiment, in conjunction with the appearance of the wireless earphone, the hose segment 10 may have an unequal cross-sectional area between the first positioning connector 14 and the second positioning connector 16; for example, the hose segment 10 is adjacent to the first The positioning connector 14 has a smaller cross-sectional area, and the second positioning connector 16 has a larger cross-sectional area. As a part of the appearance of the product, the outer layer 18 can be customized according to the customer's needs (cross-section) shape, finished products of different colors, for example, co-mold two colors to meet the varied appearance of electronic products.
