Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hearing aid with a movable contact element, which can be operated with an accumulator.
  • a rechargeable by induction accumulator is complex in construction and requires additional, always tight in the hearing aid space requirements.
  • the charging by induction also requires a complex charger and high energy consumption.
  • the object is achieved by a hearing aid according to claim 1.
  • Advantageous developments of the hearing aid are given in the dependent claims.
  • the invention relates to a hearing aid which can be operated with an accumulator and has at least one contact element which is designed to receive a charging current in electrical connection with an external charger, wherein the contact element is arranged flexibly on the hearing aid and under load to a Charging contact of the external charger is pressed.
  • the contact element of the hearing aid two situations are to be distinguished: an operating or resting state on the one hand, in which the hearing aid is not charged, and a state of charge, on the other hand, in which the hearing aid is charged by the charger.
  • the contact element is in a first position during an operating or resting state of the hearing device and is in a second state in a state of charge.
  • the term "accumulator” is intended, in the context of the present invention, to mean any rechargeable battery, capacitor, or the like. include, which rechargeable can provide the hearing aid with electrical energy.
  • the contact element may be a contact surface, a contact pin, a contact terminal or any other contact which is suitable for receiving a charging current.
  • "Flexibly arranged on the hearing aid" in the broadest sense means mobile, flexible or deformable, so that the contact element under prestress against a corresponding charging contact of an external charger, which acts as an abutment, can be pressed.
  • the contact element can be designed so that it automatically returns to the first position after completion of the charging process and after removal of the hearing aid from the charger from the second position.
  • a corresponding opening may be provided in the housing of the hearing aid.
  • an outer surface of the contact member in the first position i.e., the operating or resting state terminates substantially flush with the housing surface of the hearing aid housing. This is aesthetically pleasing, sensory pleasant and has the advantage that this prevents dirt from entering the housing interior of the hearing aid at this point.
  • the contact element projects out of the hearing aid housing.
  • the contact element may be formed, for example, as a pin, which may be movably attached to the hearing aid, so that it can be pushed through an opening in the hearing aid housing in the second position and protrudes from the housing. In this state, the contact element can then be easily contacted by the charging contact of the external charger.
  • the contact element can be lowered into the second position in a recess of the hearing aid housing. This is advantageous in a corresponding charger, which has a pin-like charging contact, which can then grasp into the recess of the hearing aid housing and contact the contact element.
  • the contact element is provided in a guide device.
  • This guide device may be formed, for example, as a kind of shaft in which a pin-like contact element is movably guided.
  • the contact element is associated with a spring element and a latching mechanism, such that the contact element can be brought into the first position by pressing from the first to the second position and by pressing from the second position.
  • This type of mechanism is similar to the pushbutton of a ballpoint pen: By pressing once, the contact element is transferred from the first to the second form, by pressing it again, it is transferred from the second position to the first.
  • the contact element may also be associated with a latching mechanism.
  • the locking mechanism may be integral with the spring element or consist of separate elements.
  • the detent mechanism may e.g. a latching element, such as e.g. a latching tongue, and have a detent.
  • the locking mechanism may be in one piece or in several parts.
  • the contact element may be designed as a contact pin.
  • the contact element is associated with a return element, by means of which the contact element can be reset after a loading operation from the second position to the first position.
  • a restoring element may be, for example, an elastically deformable element, for example a spring, in particular a spiral spring, or an elastically deformable material, eg foam or silicone rubber, which is deformed when the hearing device is arranged with the charger and against the contact element of the hearing device by applying a restoring force presses the corresponding charging contact of the charger, and when removing the hearing aid from the charger, the contact element back to the first position transferred.
  • the contact element itself acts as a restoring element, for example, by being designed as a flexible tab.
  • the hearing device further comprises a switch, wherein the contact element via the switch from the first to the second position and vice versa is feasible.
  • the switch is actuated by contacting the hearing aid with the external charger, e.g. when inserting the hearing aid in a designated recording in the charger.
  • a charger wherein a contact element of the hearing aid is pressed in a state of charge under bias against a charging contact of the charger.
  • the charger may have a magnetic element, whereby the hearing aid can be pressed with magnetic force.
  • a permanent magnet or an electromagnet may be provided, which comprises a magnetic element in the hearing aid, e.g. the accumulator, attracts.
  • the contact element of the hearing aid can be pressed by spring force with bias against the charging contact of the hearing aid, for this purpose, the charger may have a corresponding spring element or clamping element, e.g. a clamp to clamp the hearing aid.
  • the charger may have a receptacle for the hearing aid, which dictates a unique charging position of the charger by their spatial configuration.
  • the recording can be adapted to the shape of the hearing aid.
  • the recording is adapted to a region of the hearing device that is specific for a wearer (this applies in particular to IdO). or the recording may be adapted to a non-carrier specific area of the hearing aid.
  • the receptacle may be designed in its shape complementary to a surface shape of the hearing aid.
  • An adapter element can be provided, wherein the receptacle is adapted to the adapter element, and the adapter element is adapted to a carrier-specific region of the hearing device. It is therefore possible to produce a single type of charger for a large number of individual carrier-specific shaped hearing aids and to equip each with an adapter which is adapted to the individual hearing device.
  • a correct polarity of the charging contact is predetermined by the charging position of the hearing device in the receptacle of the charging device.
  • a hearing device with two or more contact elements for example, positive and negative poles, wherein at least one contact element is flexibly arranged on the hearing device in the manner described above, is of course likewise encompassed by the invention.
