Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for damped storage of electronic components according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for producing an integral, damping storage with a device.
  • the present invention is a construction for the storage of electro-acoustic transducers or other electronic components in electronic micro devices, such as hearing aids.
  • electronic components such as a handset or electroacoustic transducer, held by rubber parts in position.
  • rubber mounts are usually attached directly to the electronic component, glued or slipped over this and define the contact surface with the rest of the electronic micro device, such as a hearing aid structure.
  • connection lines to the component such as a sound conduit, are usually required, which connects the component to the surrounding environment, such as the acoustic environment, and often also has a mechanical support function.
  • DE8704315U discloses a hearing aid whose components are mounted in a hearing aid housing, characterized in that at least a part of the components in the interior of brackets between the inside of the brackets projecting cushions, which are formed as knobs of sound-absorbing material, releasably supported.
  • a storage for to develop electronic components, such as a transducer, in a micro-electronic device, such as a hearing aid which meets the main requirements below, namely to ensure vibration isolation of the component and a shock absorption in the event of a shock.
  • the device for the damped storage of electronic components in a single or multi-part receiving housing of a micro electronic device is that an along, at least on parts of the inner wall of the receiving housing arranged elastic and / or flexible retaining element is provided, with in the direction of the interior the receiving inwardly projecting storage areas for in-situ bearings or holding the component in the receptacle.
  • the device according to the invention for damping basically has two functions, namely the provision of vibration isolation on the one hand and shock absorption on the other hand. It has been found that for vibration isolation, the storage should have a low to very low stiffness and low attenuation. By contrast, contrary to the vibration isolation for shock absorption, storage must be much stiffer, with much higher internal damping of the material being desirable.
  • the receptacle is coated or lined with an elastically soft and / or flexible material, whereby elevations projecting from the layer are provided.
  • elevations may be conical or knob-like elevations, with, for example, pointed, dull or rounded bearing surfaces for the electronic component.
  • the lining or the holding element may consist of the same material as the above storage areas or for the storage areas, a different material can be chosen to meet the above-mentioned, different requirements for vibration isolation and shock absorption.
  • the holding element or the lining as well as the storage areas may consist of a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE).
  • TPE thermoplastic elastomer
  • block copolymers such as, for example, a styrene elastomer (TPE-S) or a polymer blend such as a polyolefin elastomer (TPE-O) have been found.
  • TPE-S styrene elastomer
  • TPE-O polyolefin elastomer
  • other TPE types such as thermoplastic polyurethane (TPE-U) are also conceivable or also vulcanizates such as silicone rubber, etc.
  • the retaining element can be produced, for example by means of injection molding, having the bearing areas and subsequently introduced into a receiving housing.
  • the holding element or the elastic coating can in turn directly, for example by injection molding in a already existing receiving housing are entered, which receiving housing in turn may consist of a thermosetting or thermoplastic polymer.
  • the basis of the proposed invention is that the storage is integrated into the housing of the electronic device, such as the hearing aid, as described in the following Figures 1 and 2 is shown using the example of a listener storage.
  • the main difference between the prior art, presented in FIG. 1 is that the storage is no longer mounted on the transducer, but a part of the hearing aid housing, as in FIG. 2 is shown.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows in section a transducer 1, which is arranged in a corresponding hearing aid housing 3.
  • a rubber bearing 5 is provided, having outwardly projecting support ribs 7 for point storage ..
  • the transducer 1 as shown in FIG. 2 no longer stored in a rubber pad 5, but is "free” on conical elevations 17auf, which is part of a damping insert, which is arranged directly on the inner surface of the hearing aid housing 3.
  • This in turn has a rubber pad 15, with inwardly projecting elevations 17 for point storage.
  • the cavity in the hearing device that houses the transducer is lined with a layer of soft elastic material that has sufficient wall thickness and rigidity to meet the shock absorption requirements mentioned above. From this layer protrude different conical-like elevations 17, which provide for a defined positioning of the transducer 1. Due to the design of these support elements 17 whose rigidity can be adjusted in the direction of optimal vibration isolation. For example, these elements can be designed to be loaded primarily on thrust rather than pressure, resulting in much lower stiffness.
  • FIG. 5 shows in section a further embodiment of an inventive damping arrangement for the storage of an electronic component 1.
  • a damping layer 15 is disposed in the rigid receiving wall 3 of a micro electronic device, consisting of an elastic material, as described above.
  • inwardly projecting projections 17 are also provided for the mounting of the component 1.
  • air inclusions 31 are formed in order to achieve an additional damping effect.
  • These damping air pockets 31 may be made relatively small as in FIG Fig. 5 or else can be as schematic in Fig. 6 represented and provided with the reference numeral 35, be formed such that the inwardly projecting projection 37 is formed like a pillow or leaf spring. On the one hand, this can increase the damping effect, but on the other hand, this reduces the storage stability.
  • Fig. 5 recognizable are rear handles 33, which allow a better connection or even a non-adhesive connection between the damping layer 15 and the rigid housing wall 3.
  • FIGS. 7a to 7d examples of protruding projections 17 are shown which are intended to indicate that any shapes are possible to achieve suitable damping or to be selected according to requirements.
  • Fig. 7a a cone-like projection
  • Fig. 7b a rib (not belonging to the invention) during Fig. 7c analogous.
  • Fig. 6 a pillow-like or leaf-spring-like damping element 17 shows.
  • Fig. 7d a leaf spring-like damping element 17 is shown, which is arranged in a corner region of the receiving housing 3.
  • a cavity 35 is provided.
  • damping devices or bearings are only examples of the better understanding of the present invention.
  • the bearings or dampings are of course not limited to the illustrated examples, but it can also be used different bearings or damping devices, which for example have different wall thicknesses, different stiffnesses of the materials, different geometries or embodiments of projecting storage areas or elevations, different manufacturing techniques, etc., etc.
  • the essence of the present invention is that the damping element or the damping bearing is arranged on the housing inner wall of the electronic construction device for positioning and holding an electronic component, wherein the damping Element facing the interior and has projecting storage areas.
