Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for the liquid-tight sealing of micro-gaps, cracks and / or openings in housing walls, uses of the method, housings of electrical or electronic devices, having gaps, capillaries, scratches, openings and the like, which prevent the ingress of liquid be sealed, but not against gas permeability, and a battery compartment of a hearing aid.
  • a condenser microphone is described with a hydrophobic membrane to prevent sticking to the backplate and also various methods of achieving this hydrophobization.
  • the US 2002100605 describes a hydrophobic coating for housings of electrical equipment, in particular with regard to surge arresters. Again in other documents hydrophobic coatings of substrates such as plastics, wood, concrete, etc. are described in which, however, the above-mentioned problem is not an issue.
  • each hearing aid housing each having a housing part, which is provided with a hydrophobic coating in order to prevent the possible ingress of liquid through these housing parts.
  • this coating is such that a certain gas permeability is ensured.
  • Especially medical devices worn on the body such as pulse rate, invasive blood characteristic sensors, such as oximetry sensors, heart rate monitors, hearing aids and the like.
  • invasive blood characteristic sensors such as oximetry sensors, heart rate monitors, hearing aids and the like.
  • complex apparatus which consist of a variety of individual, mechanical and electronic components in different Process produced and then assembled. Because of the mechanical tolerances of the injection molded plastic parts, which in the Most cases are used for housing, battery cover, switches, and the like., Also arise in the assembled state of the devices always microscopic capillary gaps between the individual components.
  • FIG. 1a shows the contact angle of water on an untreated or uncoated surface 3, such as a polymer used for hearing aid components.
  • a polymer used for hearing aid components such as polyamide, ABS, etc ..
  • the contact angle is according to FIG. 1a well below 80 °.
  • the contact angle is now significantly increased, such as over 100 °, which corresponds approximately to the wettability of Teflon.
  • FIG. 2 is schematically shown in section a capillary 11, which may be formed for example in a hearing aid housing 7.
  • a capillary 11 which may be formed for example in a hearing aid housing 7.
  • FIGS. 1a and 1b A comparison with the two FIGS. 1a and 1b now clearly shows that a drop of water according to FIG. 1a can easily pass through the capillary 11, while the water droplet according to FIG. 1b remains on the surface of the housing wall by penetration by the capillary 11 is impossible.
  • no sealing means such as rubber seals and the like. Are arranged in the capillary 11, the gas permeability is still maintained.
  • FIG. 3 shows in section the area of a battery compartment of a conventional hearing aid, which is sealed against the ingress of liquid. That's it now important that all disposed in the battery compartment 19 housing parts are provided with a hydrophobic coating. These parts include the battery cover 13, the mentioned battery compartment 19, the housing 23 and the function switch 21.
  • the individual components are coated after their manufacture or delivery and before installation in a hearing aid.
  • a housing such as shown in FIG. 3 This means, for example, that it is cleaned after the injection molding and, if necessary, pretreated, in order subsequently to be hydrophobically coated by one of the methods described below.
  • FIG. 4 shows a further embodiment of a battery compartment of a hearing aid and again those housing parts or components are referred to, which are to be provided with a hydrophobic coating. These parts include, for example, a function or touch button 31, the battery cover 33 and a frame 35th
  • a liquid protection is provided by a targeted surface treatment of individual components of an electronic or electrical device, such as individual hearing aid components achieved.
  • an electronic or electrical device such as individual hearing aid components achieved.
  • the components are hydrophobized is of secondary importance for the invention, since a large number of such methods are known from the prior art. In the following, for example, only a few methods will be cited for the better understanding of the present invention.
  • sol-gel processes are known. These processes come from chemical nanotechnology.
  • the surface is coated with hydrophobic nanoparticles embedded in a polymer network.
  • These layers are composites (nanocomposites) with organic and inorganic components, which can be generated by sol-gel processes.
  • the layers are applied by simple dipping or spraying processes and then cured. In principle, these layers can be applied to all materials that tolerate the necessary temperatures for curing (sintering). For most materials that are used in hearing aids, a coating on sol-gel processes is possible.
  • the properties of the surface can be adjusted and hydrophobic or even antimicrobial effects can be achieved, such as in the WO03 / 094574 described.
  • Nanoparticles with hydrophobic and oleophobic properties and their applications have also been described in DE10051182A1 .
  • Further processes for the hydrophobic coating of polymer surfaces can be found in US 2002 / 0192385A1 or DE10106213A1 ,
  • the coating takes place via low-temperature plasma evaporation processes.
  • the surface is cleaned and activated (for example 02 plasma) and then coated.
  • a compact polymer layer made of a fluorine-containing polymer is applied to the component or a hydrophobic molecule is attached directly to the component plastic.
  • the advantages of the present invention are the following: Due to the hydrophobic coatings, for example in the area of a battery compartment, the susceptibility to corrosion in a micro-electronic device, such as For example, a medical device, such as in particular a hearing aid, be reduced by preventing the ingress of liquid or even excluded.
  • the application of the inventive method is possible on old, already introduced into the market products.
  • the improvement of the liquid resistance is possible without design changes.
  • a device can be retrofitted in the service with hydrophobized components.
  • Service intervals due to contamination or corrosion can be prolonged, i.
  • the device has a longer life.
