本発明に係る耳かけ形補聴器1は、図1に示すように、補聴器本体2、フック3、チューブ4、ジョイント5、耳せん6からなる。7は電池ホルダである。補聴器本体2には、補聴処理部としてのDSP(Digital Signal Processor)、マイクロホン、イヤホンなどが収納されている。   As shown in FIG. 1, the behind-the-ear hearing aid 1 according to the present invention includes a hearing aid body 2, a hook 3, a tube 4, a joint 5, and an earplug 6. 7 is a battery holder. The hearing aid main body 2 houses a DSP (Digital Signal Processor), a microphone, an earphone and the like as a hearing aid processing unit.

電池ホルダ7は、図2に示すように、電池ホルダ7の縁部に形成した連結孔11に、補聴器本体2の端部に立設した連結ピン12を係合させ、連結ピン12を中心に回動して開状態又は閉状態を維持する。8は押しボタンスイッチ、9は押しボタンスイッチ8からの信号を受けて機能の設定を切り替えるDSP、10は電池である。   As shown in FIG. 2, the battery holder 7 has a connection hole 11 formed at the edge of the battery holder 7 engaged with a connection pin 12 erected at the end of the hearing aid main body 2, with the connection pin 12 as the center. Rotate to maintain open or closed state. Reference numeral 8 denotes a push button switch, 9 denotes a DSP that receives a signal from the push button switch 8 and switches function settings, and 10 denotes a battery.

連結孔11は、図3(a)に示すように、略鍵孔状に形成され、円形孔11aと、円形孔11aに連通する長孔11bからなる。連結ピン12は、図3(b)に示すように、外周面に軸心を中心に互いに平行な2つの平面12a,12bを有して略四角柱形状に形成されている。従って、連結ピン12の外周面は、平面12a,12bと円弧状の曲面12c,12dを交互に配してなる。連結ピン12は、一方の曲面12cが補聴器本体2の内部中心を向くように立設している。   As shown in FIG. 3A, the connecting hole 11 is formed in a substantially key hole shape, and includes a circular hole 11a and a long hole 11b communicating with the circular hole 11a. As shown in FIG. 3B, the connecting pin 12 has two planes 12 a and 12 b that are parallel to each other around the axis on the outer peripheral surface, and is formed in a substantially quadrangular prism shape. Accordingly, the outer peripheral surface of the connecting pin 12 is formed by alternately arranging the flat surfaces 12a and 12b and the arcuate curved surfaces 12c and 12d. The connecting pin 12 stands upright so that one curved surface 12 c faces the inner center of the hearing aid main body 2.

そして、電池ホルダ7が開状態の場合には、連結ピン12は、図3(c)に示すように、連結孔11の円形孔11aに係合する。また、電池ホルダ7が閉状態の場合には、連結ピン12は、図3(d)に示すように、連結孔11の円形孔11aに係合する。更に、電池ホルダ7がスライドした場合には、連結ピン12は、図3(e)に示すように、連結孔11の長孔11bに係合する。連結孔11の形状と連結ピン12の形状から、電池ホルダ7が閉状態の時のみ、電池ホルダ7はスライドすることができる。   When the battery holder 7 is in the open state, the connecting pin 12 engages with the circular hole 11a of the connecting hole 11 as shown in FIG. When the battery holder 7 is closed, the connecting pin 12 engages with the circular hole 11a of the connecting hole 11 as shown in FIG. Further, when the battery holder 7 slides, the connecting pin 12 engages with the long hole 11b of the connecting hole 11 as shown in FIG. From the shape of the connection hole 11 and the shape of the connection pin 12, the battery holder 7 can slide only when the battery holder 7 is in the closed state.

また、電池ホルダ7には、図4に示すように、円弧状の回動溝13と直線状のスライド溝14が補聴器本体2と対向する縁部に連なって形成されている。回動溝13とスライド溝14の境には、補聴器本体2側に突出する突起部15が設けられている。更に、電池ホルダ7が閉状態になる直前から閉状態に至るまで回動溝13に係合し、閉状態後のスライド動作によりスライド溝14に係合するリブ16が補聴器本体2に設けられている。そして、突起部15とリブ16で規制手段を構成し、スライド溝14とリブ16でガイド手段を構成している。   Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the battery holder 7 is formed with an arcuate rotation groove 13 and a linear slide groove 14 connected to the edge facing the hearing aid body 2. A protrusion 15 that protrudes toward the hearing aid main body 2 is provided at the boundary between the rotation groove 13 and the slide groove 14. Further, the hearing aid main body 2 is provided with a rib 16 that engages with the rotation groove 13 from just before the battery holder 7 is closed to the closed state, and engages with the slide groove 14 by the sliding operation after the closed state. Yes. The protrusion 15 and the rib 16 constitute a restricting means, and the slide groove 14 and the rib 16 constitute a guide means.

以上のように構成された本発明に係る耳かけ形補聴器1の動作について説明する。先ず、電池10を搭載した電池ホルダ7を閉状態にするため、電池ホルダ7が連結ピン12と円形孔11aとの係合状態を維持しながら回動する。すると、リブ16が回動溝13に沿って摺動し、節度ある抵抗感を持って突起部15を乗り越える。すると、図5(a)に示すように、電池ホルダ7の閉状態が維持される。   The operation of the behind-the-ear hearing aid 1 according to the present invention configured as described above will be described. First, in order to close the battery holder 7 on which the battery 10 is mounted, the battery holder 7 rotates while maintaining the engagement state between the connecting pin 12 and the circular hole 11a. Then, the rib 16 slides along the rotation groove 13 and gets over the protrusion 15 with a moderate resistance. Then, the closed state of the battery holder 7 is maintained as shown in FIG.

リブ16が突起部15を乗り越えてスライド溝14に至ると、電池ホルダ7は回動動作を行うことはできないが、リブ16はスライド溝14に沿って摺動することができるので、電池ホルダ7はスライド溝14と平行な一方向にスライドすることができる。この時、図5(b)に示すように、連結ピン12は、円形孔11aとの係合状態から長孔11bとの係合状態に移る。   When the rib 16 gets over the protrusion 15 and reaches the slide groove 14, the battery holder 7 cannot rotate, but the rib 16 can slide along the slide groove 14. Can slide in one direction parallel to the slide groove 14. At this time, as shown in FIG.5 (b), the connection pin 12 transfers to the engagement state with the long hole 11b from the engagement state with the circular hole 11a.

そして、電池ホルダ7が補聴器本体2の内部へスライドすると、押しボタンスイッチ8を押圧してオン状態にすることができる。なお、連結ピン12が当接する長孔11bの壁面11cは、電池ホルダ7のスライド動作に対するストッパの役目を果たす。また、スライド溝14の形状とリブ16の形状との関係から、電池ホルダ7をスライド方向に押す手を放すと、電池ホルダ7はスライドする前の閉状態の位置に戻るように構成されている。   When the battery holder 7 slides into the hearing aid main body 2, the push button switch 8 can be pressed to turn it on. The wall surface 11 c of the long hole 11 b with which the connecting pin 12 abuts serves as a stopper for the sliding operation of the battery holder 7. Further, the relationship between the shape of the slide groove 14 and the shape of the rib 16 is configured such that when the hand that pushes the battery holder 7 in the sliding direction is released, the battery holder 7 returns to the closed position before sliding. .

従って、電池ホルダ7のスライド方向への押し仕方によって、押しボタンスイッチ8のオン/オフ状態を変えて各種の信号を生成することができる。それにより、押しボタンスイッチ8からDSP9に指令信号が入力され、例えば、電池ホルダ7を押して押しボタンスイッチ8をオン状態にするたびに、メモリに保存された機能設定を切り替えることができたり、電池ホルダ7を押して押しボタンスイッチ8のオン状態を2秒以上維持すると、電源のオン/オフを切り替えたりすることができる。   Accordingly, various signals can be generated by changing the on / off state of the push button switch 8 depending on how the battery holder 7 is pushed in the sliding direction. As a result, a command signal is input from the push button switch 8 to the DSP 9. For example, each time the push button switch 8 is turned on by pressing the battery holder 7, the function setting stored in the memory can be switched, When the holder 7 is pushed and the push button switch 8 is kept on for 2 seconds or longer, the power can be turned on / off.

本発明によれば、補聴器本体の表面にスイッチを配置する必要がなくなり、補聴器の小型化が図れるので見栄えが向上し、またスイッチが補聴器本体の内部に配置され、汗や埃などの補聴器本体内部への浸入を防止することができるので、耐久性が向上し、更にスイッチを機能切替スイッチとして使用することができるので、多機能化に対応可能になり、耳かけ形補聴器の需要拡大が促進される。   According to the present invention, there is no need to place a switch on the surface of the hearing aid body, the appearance of the hearing aid can be reduced, and the appearance is improved. Can be prevented, so durability can be improved, and the switch can be used as a function changeover switch, making it possible to support multiple functions and promoting the expansion of demand for ear-hearing hearing aids.
