Definitions
- the invention relates to a hearing aid according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Known hearing aids have a plurality of components housed in a multi-part plastic device housing, namely generally a microphone, an amplifier circuit, a receiver and a power source. These components are connected to each other via electrical connections, which must be mounted in the rule after the production of the device housing in this. In certain components, their electronic components are mounted on a separate substrate and electrically communicate with each other via traces provided on the substrate. The production and assembly of the substrates takes place in a separate process. The production of such hearing aids is therefore associated with a relatively large effort.
- the present invention is now based on the object to provide a hearing aid of the type mentioned, which has a smaller size and can be produced more cheaply than the conventional hearing aids.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 is shown on an enlarged scale a hearing aid 1, which is worn in the ear (in-ear hearing aid).
- the hearing device 1 has a device housing 2 made of plastic, which consists of a shell 3, the outer shape of which is adapted to the auditory canal of the wearer, and a cover part 4 placed on the shell 3.
- a handset 5 In the interior of the shell 3, different, designed as units hearing aid components are housed, namely a handset 5 and a microphone assembly 6.
- the handset 5 includes electronic components of a known amplifier and transmission circuit and has a sound channel 7, which leads to a sound outlet 8 in the shell 3 leads.
- the microphone assembly 6, whose construction is based on the Fig. 3 will be explained in more detail is used in the lid part 4.
- the shell 3 is formed as a molded part with integrated strip conductors, ie as a spatially injection-molded circuit carrier.
- integrated strip conductors ie as a spatially injection-molded circuit carrier.
- Such circuit carriers whose production is known per se (see, for example, the WO-A-00/67982 ), are referred to in technical language with Molded Interconnect Devices (MID).
- MID Molded Interconnect Devices
- Fig. 1 and 2 From these integrated tracks only the tracks 9 and 10 are visible.
- Both the receiver module 5 and the microphone assembly 6 have protruding spring contacts 11 and 12, which with the conductor tracks 9, 10 of the shell. 3 in contact ( Fig. 1 ).
- the units 5, 6 are thus electrically connected to one another via the spring contacts 11, 12 and the conductor tracks 9, 10.
- the microphone assembly 6 has a multi-part housing 13 made of plastic, which consists of a receiving part 14, a down this closing housing bottom 15 and a housing cover 16.
- the housing bottom 15 is screwed by means of screws 17 with the receiving part 14, to which the housing cover 16 is fastened by means of a hinge 18.
- the housing cover 16 is provided with a locking cam 19 which cooperates with the housing cover 16 closed with a locking recess 20 in the receiving part 14.
- the housing bottom 15 is likewise designed as a molded part with integrated interconnects 21 forming a conductor pattern structure, ie as a spatially injection-molded circuit carrier (Molded Interconnect Device, MID).
- the housing bottom 15 is equipped with only schematically illustrated microphones 22 and 23 and also shown only schematically, unspecified electronic components 24, 25, 26.
- the microphones 22, 23 and the electronic components 24, 25, 26 are interconnected via the conductor tracks 21.
- the housing bottom 15 thus serves not only as a lower termination of the receiving part 14 of the housing 13, but also as a carrier for the microphones 22, 23, the electronic components 24, 25, 26 and the conductor tracks 21st
- the housing cover 16 is also a molded part with an integrated conductor 27, i. So also an MID, but carries in contrast to the housing bottom 15 no electronic components.
- the conductor track 27 is designed as a contact surface which is in contact with the housing cover 16 closed with a housed in the receiving part 14 battery 28, which serves to power the hearing aid components.
- the microphone assembly 6 described is smaller, has less Components on and can be made easier.
- the Fig. 4 and 5 show in exploded view views of a hearing aid 30 worn behind the ear (behind-the-ear hearing aid) from two different directions.
- the hearing aid 30 has a device housing 31 made of plastic, which consists of a housing bottom 32 and a housing cover 33 which are interconnected by means of screws 34.
- various housing units designed as hearing aid components are housed, namely a handset unit 35, a microphone unit 36 and a different electronic components having amplifier module 37.
- To the amplifier module 37 is pivotally mounted a battery compartment 38 which serves to accommodate a battery 39.
- the housing bottom 32 is embodied as a molded part with integrated conductor tracks 40 and integrated contacts 41, 42, 43, 44, which are grouped into groups, ie as a spatially injection-molded circuit carrier (Molded Interconnect Device, MID).
- the tracks 40 connect certain of the contacts 41, 42, 43, 44 with each other.
- electronic components 45 and 46 are soldered, which are also connected via certain interconnects 40 with contacts 41, 42 and 43 or 41 and 44. These electronic components 45, 46, instead of being soldered onto the housing bottom 32, could also be integrated into the receiver module 35, the microphone module 36 and / or the amplifier module 37.
- the housing bottom 32 is provided with further integrated, grouped into a group 47 contacts, which are integrated via integrated tracks 48 with programming contacts 49, which are the same as the other contacts 41, 42, 43, 44, 47 also produced moderately in the housing bottom 32 in Connection stand.
- the programming contacts 49 are used for connecting a non-illustrated, known per se programming device, of which in the Fig. 4 only the plug 50 is shown.
- the handset unit 35, the microphone assembly 36 and the amplifier assembly 37 are provided with grouped spring contacts 51, 52 and 53, 54, 55 ( Fig. 5 ).
- the spring contacts 52 of the microphone assembly 36 contact the contacts 41 in the housing bottom 32 and the spring contacts 51 of the receiver module 35, the contacts 42 in the housing bottom 32, while the spring contacts 53 of the amplifier module 37 with the contacts 47 in Housing bottom 32, the spring contacts 54 with the contacts 43 and the spring contacts 55 with the contacts 44 are in communication.
- the amplifier module 37 is thus connected on the one hand via the contacts 47 in the housing bottom 32 with the programming contacts 49 and on the other hand via the contacts 42 and 43 and the contacts 41 and 44 and the tracks 40 with the receiver module 35 and the microphone assembly 36
- FIG. 4 illustrates parts of the housing of the handset assembly 35, the microphone assembly 36, and the repeater assembly 37 as moldings with integrated circuit structure (Molded Interconnect Devices; MID).
- connection between the units 5, 6 or 35, 36, 37 and the integrated conductor tracks 9, 10 or the integrated contacts 41, 41, 43, 44 can also in other ways than by means of the spring contacts 11, 12 and 51, respectively , 52, 53, 54, 55 are made, for example by means of conductor strands.
- the device housing 2, 31 forming components, namely the shell 3 and the cover part 4 of the device housing 2 and the housing bottom 32 and the housing cover 33 of the device housing 31 may be formed so that when assembling these components the latter form-fitting or non-positively mechanically get connected.
- the latter form-fitting or non-positively mechanically get connected.
- Latching or snap connections e.g. Latching or snap connections.
- MID Molded Interconnect Devices
