Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hearing instrument with a one-piece injection-molded housing.
  • Hearing instruments can be designed for example as hearing aids.
  • a hearing aid is used to supply a hearing-impaired person with acoustic ambient signals that are processed and amplified for compensation or therapy of the respective hearing impairment. It consists in principle of one or more input transducers, of a signal processing device, of an amplification device, and of an output transducer.
  • the input transducer is typically a sound receiver, e.g. a microphone, and / or an electromagnetic receiver, e.g. an induction coil.
  • the output signal generator is usually as an electroacoustic transducer, z. As miniature speaker, or as an electromechanical transducer, z.
  • the output signal generator generates output signals that are routed to the patient's ear and are intended to produce a hearing perception in the patient.
  • the amplifier is usually integrated in the signal processing device.
  • the hearing aid is powered by a battery integrated into the hearing aid housing.
  • the essential components of a hearing aid are usually arranged on a printed circuit board as a circuit carrier or connected thereto.
  • Hearing instruments could also serve as hearing aids, which refers to the compensation of a weakened hearing, commonly referred to as hearing loss, hearing instruments can also be designed as a so-called tinnitus masker.
  • Tinnitus maskers are used to treat tinnitus patients. They produce from the respective hearing impairment and depending on the principle of action also dependent on ambient noise acoustic output signals that reduce the perception disturbing tinnitus or other ear noises can contribute.
  • hearing instrument is understood to mean both hearing aids and tinnitus maskers, as well as other such devices.
  • Hearing instruments often have two-piece or multi-part housing, which are produced by injection molding.
  • the housings are divided along their longitudinal extent.
  • the multi-part housing structure allows easy installation of the innezier components. These can first be mounted in a first housing part, before another housing part is placed and fastened for closing and completion of the housing.
  • the multi-part housing construction also ensures greater freedom of design for the housing.
  • undercuts in the overall housing can nevertheless be accomplished by making a suitable subdivision into individual housing parts and the forming the undercuts formations in the individual housing parts - there not as undercut - are provided ,
  • a disadvantage of split housings is the increased logistical parts expenditure, since a larger number of housing parts and mounting elements is required.
  • the housing division lines (housing column) are prone to the penetration of moisture and dirt. Therefore, it is of interest to reduce the overall length of the housing split lines.
  • all internal components of the hearing instrument notably receivers, signal processing electronics and battery, must be inserted into the housing through a housing opening which is to be provided for assembly purposes, but which is as small as possible.
  • the inside Components including battery are inserted through the battery port of the housing. After installation, the battery opening for inserting and changing the battery is maintained and is therefore anyway required.
  • a problem with such a mounting is the fixation of the components within the housing.
  • the interior of the housing is no longer readily accessible after insertion of the components, for example, to be able to use fixation pins or fixing screws.
  • no undercuts are provided in the housing, which could serve the fixation.
  • a fixation is essential so that the components are not loose in the housing and can move in it, which could cause disturbing noises.
  • a hearing aid whose housing is based on a construction with two housing parts.
  • the internal components are mounted on a designated front panel plate, which forms the first housing part.
  • the second housing part is slipped over the components and connected to the front panel, for example by means of screws or snap closure.
  • a hearing aid which has a housing into which the internal components preassembled on a frame are inserted through the battery opening.
  • the battery compartment has a swiveling battery compartment lid.
  • a pin is inserted through the housing, frame and battery compartment cover and serves both as a pivot axis for the battery compartment cover and for fixing the frame.
  • the outer housing and an internal and there as a module shell has designated housing part.
  • the inner housing part contains the internal components of the hearing aid.
  • the outer housing is adapted to the shape of an ear canal, in which the hearing aid is to be used.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a fixation for the internal components of a hearing instrument in a one-piece housing, which is inexpensive in design, manufacture and assembly, requires few components, and is easy to use.
  • the invention solves this problem by hearing instrument and by a housing and a frame for a hearing instrument with the features of the independent claims.
  • a hearing instrument comprises a housing and a frame arranged within the housing, wherein the housing is made in one piece and encloses the frame in five spatial directions.
  • the housing has a mounting opening which is dimensioned so that the frame can be inserted through it into the housing.
  • the housing has a fixing opening in a spatial direction transverse to the spatial direction of the mounting opening, which cooperates with a fixing device arranged on the frame such that the frame is fixed against sliding out of the housing.
  • the fixing opening is made after production of the housing, for example as a bore, this results in the possibility of producing the housing in an injection molding process, since such a fixing mechanism requires no undercuts in the housing which would not be able to be produced by injection molding.
  • the bore can also be created by a slide from the outside in the injection mold. The opening must be closed again in any case later, for example by a microphone cover.
  • the fixing device comprises a latch which is inserted into the fixation opening. This results in a structurally particularly simple form of fixation.
  • a further advantageous embodiment provides that the bolt is integrally formed on the frame.
  • the one-piece Anformung reduces assembly costs in terms of logistics requirements, since no additional latch is required, and thus the number of components is reduced. In addition, it reduces the assembly effort in terms of the actual assembly process, since the handling of a separate additional component is eliminated.
  • a further advantageous embodiment provides that the bolt is reversibly inserted into the fixing opening and is held therein by a spring force. This results in a further reduction of the assembly work and simplification of assembly work, since the fixation is made automatically due to the spring force when inserting the frame into the housing.
  • a further advantageous embodiment provides that the bolt is formed using an elastic material to the frame so that it is thereby acted upon by a spring force directed in the direction of the fixing opening.
  • the bolt can be arranged for this purpose on an elastic arm. This can be dispensed with additional separate elastic device components, thereby further reducing the logistical and assembly costs.
  • a further advantageous embodiment provides that an elastic device is provided, which insgesmat applied to the frame with a directed in the direction of the fixing opening spring force.
  • This is an alternative as needed or in addition to a spring-loaded latch to be provided fuse. If the frame as a whole is subjected to a spring force, there is a safeguard not only of the fixation but of the frame as a whole against movement within the housing. Movements of the frame can cause unpleasant noise, such as rattles, which are effectively prevented by the application of a spring force in a simple manner.
  • a further advantageous embodiment provides that the bolt is designed as a barb.
  • the fixing opening is adapted to the bolt, that the bolt is acted upon by the mutual engagement with the fixing opening during a movement of the frame in the direction of sliding out of the housing with a force directed into the fixing opening. As a result, it is automatically moved into the fixation opening.
  • the design as a barb increases the security of the fixation against unwanted loosening.
  • there are additional possibilities for securing the fixation by a spring force Firstly, the barbs can be secured as usual by a spring force directed in the direction of the fixing opening spring force. On the other hand, but also contributes to the loading of the frame in the direction of the mounting opening, ie in the direction out of the housing, to secure the fixation.
  • the elastic device component may be provided in the housing on the opposite side of the mounting opening.
  • the fixing opening is additionally designed as a microphone opening and the fixing device additionally as a microphone holder. Since a microphone opening is required anyway, so a reduction in the number of housing openings can be achieved. This further reduces the susceptibility to dirt and moisture intrusion.
  • a further advantageous development provides that the frame is fixed by mutual engagement of a microphone inserted into the microphone holder with the microphone opening.
  • the microphone thus forms the bar, through which the frame is fixed in the housing. It may alternatively be provided to or in addition to a latch. Since a microphone, at least in a hearing aid, is required anyway, so an additional securing the fixation can be achieved without further additional component complexity. In the absence of a bolt in addition to the microphone, a further simplification of the design and reduction of the design components and possibly also the number of components can be achieved.
  • a further advantageous embodiment provides that the mounting opening is designed to additionally serve as a battery opening. Since a battery opening is usually required anyway, this results in a further reduction in the number of housing openings. This further reduces the susceptibility to dirt and moisture intrusion.
  • Another basic idea of the invention is to make a housing for a hearing instrument such that it can be used in a hearing instrument with the features explained above.
  • a further basic idea of the invention is to make a frame for a hearing instrument such that it can be used in a hearing instrument with the features explained above.
  • An advantageous development provides that internal components of a signal processing device of a hearing instrument are mounted on the frame. This allows a simple and inexpensive pre-assembly of components on the frame, without resulting in obstructions by the housing.
  • FIG. 1 is a hearing aid 1 with an elastically mounted latch 5 shown schematically in cross section.
  • the hearing device 1 comprises a housing 2 and a housing 3 arranged in the frame 3.

  • a battery 10 as Power source for the signal processing components, which is electrically connected to the signal processing processing means 7 and the frame 3, respectively.
  • the arm 6 is made of an elastic material which may be the same as the material of the frame 3 or formed by two-component manufacturing techniques.
  • the arm 6 is, as shown in the figure, shaped to bring the latch 5 with the fixing opening 4 of the housing 2 in a handle, i. that the latch 5 is inserted into the fixing opening 4.
  • the fixing opening 4 is arranged in the housing 2 in a spatial direction, which is indicated in the figure for the sake of illustration by an arrow designated by the letter A. Further arrows indicate further spatial directions B, C, D.
  • a mounting opening 11 provided through which the assembled or preassembled frame 3 can be inserted or pulled out in the housing 2.
  • the mounting opening 11 also serves as a battery compartment opening in which the battery 10 is inserted. It is closed by a battery compartment cover 12.
  • the battery compartment cover 12 is pivotally mounted in the housing 2 via an axis 13 and can be opened by pivoting. The opening of the battery compartment cover 12 is required firstly for insertion or replacement of the battery 10.
  • the frame 3 can be inserted with the battery compartment open in the direction of space B or pulled out in the spatial direction D.
  • the housing 2 viewed from the mounting opening 11 from no undercuts. Therefore, the housing 2 can be manufactured inexpensively, for example, in a conventional injection molding process.
  • the fixation opening 4 could be added later in this case, for example as a bore in this case.
  • the fixing opening 4 is provided to fix the frame 3 in the housing 2 against pulling or unwanted sliding out in the spatial direction D.
  • the fixing opening 4 and the bolt 5 are in mutual engagement. From the figure it can be seen that the bolt 5 prevents movement of the frame 3 in the spatial direction D.
  • the latch 5 can be pushed away from the fixing opening 4 towards the frame 3, ie in the spatial direction C, because of its elastic suspension.
  • FIG. 2 is a hearing aid 21 with a housing 22 and a frame 23 disposed therein, which is acted upon by a total of a fixing spring force, shown schematically as a cross section.

  • the housing 22 has a fixing opening 24, which serves to fix the frame 23 in the housing 22.
  • the latch 25 is in engagement with the fixing opening 24 in mutual engagement.
  • the entire frame 23 including the bolt 25 is pressed by a spring mechanism 26 in the direction of the fixing hole 24.
  • the fixation is automatically made and secured, since the latch 25 can leave the fixation opening 24 only by applying an external force against the spring force of the spring mechanism 26.
  • the spring mechanism 26 the fixation is thus produced automatically upon insertion of the frame 23 into the housing 22 by inserting the bolt 25 into the fixing opening 24.
  • FIG. 3 is a hearing instrument 41 with executed barb bar 45 shown schematically in cross section.
  • the hearing instrument has, as explained above, a housing 42 with pivotable about an axis 53 battery compartment cover 52.
  • a frame 43 with signal processing components receiver 48, signal processing device 47, microphones 49 and a connected battery 50 is arranged.
  • the housing has a fixing opening 44, which is inclined in adaptation to the shape of the bolt 45. It can be seen that an effect as a barb is achieved by the oblique course and the corresponding obliquely shaped latch 45 insofar as the bolt is forced by moving the frame 43 in the direction of the mounting hole 51 deeper into the fixing hole 44.
  • the latch 45 is disposed on an arm 46 and integrally formed thereon on the frame 43. It can be integrally formed from the same material or as a two-component construction of other material.
  • the arm 46 may in particular be made of elastic material, so that the bolt 45 is led by the spring force of the elastic arm 46 into the fixing opening 44 and is held there.
  • the arm 46 may also consist of non-elastic material, or the latch 45 does not need to be arranged on an arm, since the design as a barb anyway a secure fixation is made. If the arm 46 is not elastic, the entire frame 43 must be moved so that the catch 45 is pushed out of the fixation opening 44 into the interior of the housing 42, instead of the arm, in order to release the fixation. For this purpose, the frame 43 in the housing 42 must have sufficient freedom of movement in the corresponding direction.
  • the fixation of the frame 43 in the housing 42 is certainly ensured due to the design of the bolt 45 as a barb.
