Definitions
- the invention relates to an in-the-ear hearing aid with a Hearing aid charging circuit, which is a rechargeable electric Has energy storage, after inserting the hearing aid connectable to a charging circuit in a charging container is.
- Hearing aids are also available as in-the-ear hearing aids rechargeable electrical energy stores, namely rechargeable Batteries or accumulators known.
- a problem for the user, however, is that the rechargeable electrical energy storage can be removed from the hearing aid must to the energy storage in a separate charger recharge.
- the charging time also must be monitored to avoid overloading Hearing aids known in which the electrical energy storage is permanently installed and via externally accessible charging contacts can be connected to the charger.
- the object of the invention is therefore an in-the-ear hearing aid design that his energy storage in a simple manner can be charged.
- the Hearing aid charging circuit using a rectifier the secondary coil connected to the electrical energy store has, which with a connected to the charging circuit Primary coil in the charging container when the hearing aid is inserted inductively is coupled, and that the secondary coil as the one coreless coil surrounding electrical energy storage is executed.
- the electrical energy storage in the hearing aid charging circuit is connected to a voltage measuring device, its output signal via a modulator of the secondary coil is supplied, and that the charging circuit one over Demodulator evaluation circuit connected to the primary coil has the energy flow via a charge control controls to the primary coil.
- the electrical energy storage device can have two from the outside accessible test contacts, which make it possible to the electrical energy storage, in particular Battery to test without opening the hearing aid. In order to can be checked in a simple manner whether within the a normal usage time of an in-the-ear device the energy storage is required.
- the primary coil in the container inner walls of the loading container which is a container interior surround.
- the loading container can also be used as Storage case for the in-the-ear hearing aid can be used without the primary coil being visible or disturbing.
- the heating caused by the operation of the primary coil of the container interior also serves as the in-the-ear hearing aid to dry during storage.
- the in-the-ear hearing aid 1 shown in FIG. 1 has one Plastic existing molded body 2 on the ear shape of the User is customized.
- the in-the-ear hearing aid 1 contains a hearing aid charging circuit (not shown), an electric one to power it Energy storage 3 is used, which is designed as an accumulator.
- the in-the-ear hearing device 1 also contains a hearing device charging circuit 4, in Fig. 3 as a schematic circuit diagram is shown and for charging the electrical energy storage 3 serves and will be described in more detail later.
- A serves as a receiving case (Fig. 2) designed loading container 5 to pick up the in-the-ear hearing aid 1 when the user not in the ear, especially at night.
- the loading container 5 has a lower container part 6, one for receiving of the in-ear hearing aid 1 certain container interior 7 encloses.
- a primary coil 8 in the inner walls of the container laid with circumferential turns.
- the primary coil 8 is part of a charging circuit 9, which is simplified in FIG. 3 Circuit diagram is shown.
- the charging circuit 9 is over a connector 10, the side of the loading container 6th is led out with a (not shown) power supply connected to an alternating current with low voltage the primary coil 8 delivers.
- the primary coil 8 surrounds the in-the-ear hearing aid 1 and is inductively connected to a secondary coil 11, which as coreless coil is executed and the electrical energy storage 3 surrounds, as can be seen from Fig. 1.
- the secondary coil 11 is via a low pass filter 12 and a rectifier 13 connected to the electrical energy store 3 and charges it.
- One with the rechargeable electric Energy storage device 3 connected voltage measuring device 14 delivers in Hearing aid charging circuit 4 via a modulator 15 Output signal to the secondary coil 11, the state of charge corresponds to the energy store 3.
- This modulated Output signal from the secondary coil 11 inductively on the Primary coil 8 transmitted and passed through a demodulator 16 of the charging circuit 9 to an evaluation circuit 17, the The energy flow to the primary coil 8 via a charge control controls. In this way the charging process is interrupted, when the energy store 3 is charged. So that becomes a Overcharging avoided.
- the rechargeable electrical energy storage 3, around which the Secondary coil 11 in the space-saving shown in Fig. 1 Way is wrapped with two externally accessible Test contacts 18 provided a test of functionality of the energy store 3 by an external one Enable tester.
