Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Hörgerät für Schwerhörige, insbe sonders an Hinter-Ohr-Gerät, mit einem Hörgeräteteile, wie etwa Mikrofon, Verstärker, Hörer, Batterie etc., aufnehmenden Gehäuse, dessen Teile durch lösbare Verbindungselemente, wie etwa Schrauben, zusammengehalten sind, und mit einem Audio- Eingangs-Anschluß. The invention relates to a hearing aid for the hard of hearing, esp especially on behind-the-ear devices, with a hearing aid part, such as e.g. microphone, amplifier, receiver, battery etc. Housing, its parts by releasable connecting elements, such as like screws, are held together, and with an audio Input connection.
Der Audio-Eingang ist eine elektrische Kontaktvorrichtung, über die ein tonfrequentes elektrisches Signal direkt -galva nisch- in den Hörgeräteverstärker eingespeist werden kann. Verwendung findet der Audio-Eingang vielfach in Schwerhörigen- Schulen in Verbindung mit einer "Vielhör-Einrichtung" oder mit FM- oder Infrarot-Übertragungsanlagen u.dgl.. Aber auch im privaten Bereich kann der Schwerhörige von vielen Zusatzein richtungen, wie Handmikrofone, TV-Adapter, tragbare Kasetten spieler etc. profitieren, die sich an den Audio-Eingang an schließen lassen. The audio input is an electrical contact device, Via which an audio-frequency electrical signal directly -galva nisch- can be fed into the hearing aid amplifier. The audio input is often used in the hearing impaired Schools in connection with a "frequent listening facility" or with FM or infrared transmission systems and the like .. But also in The hard of hearing can be of many additions to the private sector such as handheld microphones, TV adapters, portable cassettes players etc. benefit from the audio input let it close.
Elektrisch gesehen ist der Audio-Eingang eine Kontaktvorrich tung, die entweder über eine Stift/Büchse-Kombination oder über einen Druckkontakt den Anschluß des Ausgangskabels einer externen Signalquelle ermöglicht. From an electrical point of view, the audio input is a contact device tung, which either has a pin / socket combination or the connection of the output cable of a external signal source allows.
Bedingt durch den notorischen Platzmangel in modernen Hinter- Ohr-Geräten sind die Kontaktvorrichtungen von Fabrikat zu Fabrikat und oft sogar von Modell zu Modell eines einzelnen Herstellers sehr verschieden. Dies hat insbesonders in Schwer hörigen-Schulen zu einer unvorstellbar hohen Anzahl verschie dener Stecker und Kabel geführt. Due to the notorious lack of space in modern Ear devices are the make contact devices too Make and often even from model to model of an individual Manufacturer very different. This has been especially important in difficult subordinate schools to an unimaginably high number of different the connector and cable.
Als Ausweg aus dieser Situation wurde der sogenannte "Audio- Schuh" vorgeschlagen. Es ist dies ein becherartiges Gebilde, das den unteren Teil des Hörgerätes klemmend oder rastend um schließt. An seiner Innenseite hat der Audio-Schuh Kontaktfe dern, die mit den individuellen Kontaktvorrichtungen des be treffenden Hörgerätes in Einklang stehen, und an seiner Außen seite eine aus zwei oder drei Buchsen bestehende Steckdose für einen genormten Euro-Audiostecker aufweist. Ein derartiger Audio-Schuh ist etwa in der DE-PS 27 51 755 beschrieben. Dabei ist jedoch für jeden Hörgeräte-Typ ein spezieller hersteller spezifischer Audio-Schuh nötig. As a way out of this situation, the so-called "audio Schuh "suggested. It is a cup-like structure, that clamps or locks the lower part of the hearing aid closes. The audio shoe has contacts on the inside those who work with the individual contact devices of the be matching hearing aid are in harmony, and on its outside side a socket consisting of two or three sockets for has a standardized Euro audio plug. One of those Audio shoe is described in DE-PS 27 51 755, for example. There However, there is a special manufacturer for each type of hearing aid specific audio shoe required.
Auf Grund der laufenden Miniaturisierung aller Einzelteile werden auch Hinter-Ohr-Hörgeräte immer kleiner, sodaß sich in modernsten Miniatur-Konstruktionen aber immer seltener noch Platz für die Kontaktvorrichtung für einen Audio-Eingang fin det. Dies hat dazu geführt, daß heute zahlreiche Miniatur-Hör- Geräte ohen Audio-Eingang am Markt sind, die gerade für Kinder besonders geeignet wären, aber von diesen nur eingeschränkt benützt werden können. Einen Ausweg bieten hier noch etwa Lö sungen gemäß dem DE-GM 83 19 075, wo vorgeschlagen wird, die Steckvorrichtung für den Audio-Eingang in Form eines "Ruck sacks" außen am Gerät anzuhängen. Diese Lösung ist aber wenig attraktiv, weil sie das Gerät insgesamt vergrößert und der Rucksack ja auch dann vorhanden ist, wenn der Audio-Eingang nicht benötigt wird. Due to the ongoing miniaturization of all individual parts Behind-the-ear hearing aids are also getting smaller and smaller, so that in most modern miniature constructions but still rarer Space for the contact device for an audio input fin det. This has led to the fact that today numerous miniature hearing Devices without audio input are on the market, especially for children would be particularly suitable, but of these only to a limited extent can be used. Lö, for example, offer a way out Solutions according to DE-GM 83 19 075, where it is proposed that Connector for the audio input in the form of a "jerk sacks "on the outside of the device. But this solution is not much attractive because it enlarges the device as a whole and the Backpack yes even if the audio input is present is not needed.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Hörgerät der eingangs ange führten Art zu schaffen, welches die beschriebenen Nachteile beseitigt. The object of the invention is to provide a hearing aid of the initially mentioned led kind of creating which the disadvantages described eliminated.
Dies wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, daß der Audio-Ein gangs-Anschluß über mindestens zwei der die lösbaren Gehäuse teile zusammenhaltenden Verbindungselemente erfolgt. This is achieved according to the invention in that the audio one Gang connection via at least two of the detachable housings parts cohesive fasteners takes place.
Die Erfindung schlägt somit vor, mindestens zwei der ohnehin vorhandenen Verbindungselemente, etwa Schrauben, mit deren Hilfe die beiden Hälften des Geräte-Gehäuses zusammengehalten werden, als Kontaktvorrichtung für den Audio-Eingang zu be nützen. The invention thus proposes at least two of the anyway existing fasteners, such as screws, with their Help held the two halves of the device housing together be used as a contact device for the audio input benefit.
Diese Lösung hat den Vorteil, daß kein spezielles Gehäuse und keinerlei zusätzlicher Platz für die Kontaktvorrichtung benö tigt wird. Weiters benötigt man bei abgezogenem Audio-Schuh keine die Abmessungen des Gerätes vergrößernden Bauteile. This solution has the advantage that no special housing and no additional space required for the contact device is done. You also need an audio shoe with the audio shoe removed no components increasing the dimensions of the device.
Die Erfindung wird nun näher unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeich
nungen beschrieben. In den Zeichnungen zeigen:
Fig. 1 zeigt schematisch ein HdO-Gerätegehäuse, das wie üblich aus zwei Schalenhälften (1, 2) besteht und durch die Schrauben (3, 4, 5) zusammengehalten wird, wovon etwa die Schrauben (3, 4) als Anschlüsse für den Audio-Eingang benützt werden. Fig. 1 shows schematically a BTE device housing, which as usual consists of two shell halves (1, 2) and through the screws (3, 4, 5) is held together, of which the screws (3, 4) can be used as connections for the audio input.
Fig. 2 zeigt im Detail eine Schnittansicht der Innenkonstruk tion des Gehäuses im Bereich eines der Verbindungselemente 3 oder 4. In die untere Schale 2 ist ein metallischer Stehbolzen 6 mit Innengewinde eingespritzt. In dieses wird eine Schraube 3 eingedreht, die die obere Schale 1 festhält. Der Stehbolzen 6 kann mit der Unterschale 2 mitgespritzt sein und besteht in diesem Fall aus Kunststoff. Fig. 2 shows in detail a sectional view of the inner structure tion of the housing in the area of one of the connecting elements 3 or 4. In the lower shell 2 there is a metallic stud bolt 6 injected with internal thread. There will be a screw in this 3 screwed in, which holds the upper shell 1 in place. The stud 6 can be injected with the lower shell 2 and consists of this case made of plastic.
Um die Schraube 3 als Kontakt für einen aufgesteckten Audio- Schuh verwenden zu können, ist es notwendig, den Stehbolzen 6 elektrisch mit der Schaltung des Hörgerätes zu verbinden. Dies erfolgt mit Hilfe einer Druckfeder 8, die ihrerseits auf der Verstärkerplatine 7 durch Nieten oder Löten befestigt ist. Ist dafür kein Platz vorhanden, kann man den Stehbolzen 6 - oder für den Fall, daß dieser aus Kunststoff besteht, die Schraube 3 selbst - mit Hilfe einer haarnadelähnlichen Gabelfeder kon taktieren. To use screw 3 as a contact for an attached audio To be able to use the shoe, it is necessary to use the stud bolt 6 to be electrically connected to the circuit of the hearing aid. This takes place with the help of a compression spring 8, which in turn on the Amplifier board 7 is attached by riveting or soldering. Is If there is no space for this, you can use the stud bolts 6 - or in the event that this is made of plastic, the screw 3 itself - with the help of a hairpin-like fork spring con tact.
Fig. 3 zeigt eine solche Lösung als Draufsicht auf die Unter schale 2. An die Gabelfeder 9 kann ein Anschlußdraht 10 an gelötet werden. Ein direktes Löten an dem Stehbolzen ist in der Regel nicht zweckmäßig, da die Gefahr einer Beschädigung des Gehäuses durch die Löthitze gegeben ist. Man kann den An schlußdraht 10 auch - als nicht lösbare Verbindung - an den Bolzen 6 anschweißen. Fig. 3 shows such a solution as a plan view of the sub shell 2. A connecting wire 10 can be attached to the fork spring 9 to be soldered. Soldering directly to the stud is in Usually not expedient because of the risk of damage of the housing is given by the soldering heat. One can use the An connecting wire 10 also - as a non-detachable connection - to the Weld on bolt 6.
Fig. 4 zeigt im Schnitt einen Teil des Gehäuses im Bereich des Verbindungselementes mit einem aufgesetzten Audio-Schuh 11. Der Schuh 11 enthält federnde Büchsen 12 für den Euro-Audio stecker, die über daran befestigte Kontaktfedern 13 eine Ver bindung zu den Gehäuseschrauben herstellen. Fig. 4 shows in section a part of the housing in the area of Connecting element with an attached audio shoe 11. The shoe 11 contains resilient sleeves 12 for the euro audio connector that has a Ver via attached contact springs 13 create a connection to the housing screws.
Es hat sich als vorteilhaft herausgestellt, wenn der Kopf der als Kontakt dienenden Schraube kegelförmig ist und das Ende der Kontaktfeder 14 die Form einer Kugelkalotte hat. Diese beiden Teile bilden beim Aufsetzen des Audio-Schuhs auf das Hörgerät dann einen sauberen, selbstreinigenden Kontakt. Das Gehäuse wird daher durch die Kontaktfedern nicht beschädigt. Es ist weiters vorteilhaft, zumindest die als Kontakte dienen den Schraubenköpfe soweit im Gehäuse 1 zu versenken, daß sie in Gebrauchslage des Gerätes keinen Kontakt zur Haut des Hör geräte-Trägers machen können, um unerwünschte elektrische Ef fekte oder Einstreuungen zu vermeiden, wenn kein Audio-Schuh aufgesetzt ist. It has been found to be advantageous if the head of the serving as a contact screw is conical and the end the contact spring 14 has the shape of a spherical cap. These Both parts form when the audio shoe is placed on the Hearing aid then has a clean, self-cleaning contact. The The housing is therefore not damaged by the contact springs. It is also advantageous to have at least those used as contacts to countersink the screw heads so far in the housing 1 that they No contact with the skin of the hearing when the device is in the position of use Device carriers can make unwanted electrical ef Avoid flaws or interference if there is no audio shoe is put on.
Die auf diese Weise entstehenden Vertiefungen im Gehäuse kön nen in Zusammenwirken mit dem kugeligen Ende der Kontaktfedern 14 gleich als Rastvorrichtung für den ganzen Audio-Schuh 11 dienen. The resulting recesses in the housing can nen in cooperation with the spherical end of the contact springs 14 as a locking device for the entire audio shoe 11 serve.
Natürlich ist auch eine getrennte Rastvorrichtung möglich. Als die Gehäuseteile zusammenhaltende Verbindungselemente können neben den üblicherweise verwendeten Schrauben auch andere be kannte Ausführungsformen, wie etwa Rastelemente verwendet werden. Mikrofon, Verstärker, Hörer, Batterie, Bedienungsele mente etc. sind in den Abbildungen nicht dargestellt, da sie für die vorliegende Erfindung nicht wesentlich sind. Diese Teile sind entsprechend dem Stand der Technik im Gehäuse bzw. an dessen Außenseite untergebracht. Of course, a separate latching device is also possible. As the housing parts can be held together by connecting elements in addition to the screws commonly used, other be known embodiments, such as latching elements used become. Microphone, amplifier, receiver, battery, control element ments etc. are not shown in the figures because they are not essential to the present invention. These Parts are in the housing or in the state of the art. housed on the outside.
