In this embodiment, the electromagnetic wave energy storage module can be set in the hearing aid charging box, and wireless charging can be achieved when the hearing aid is placed in the charging box.

[0025] In some preferred embodiments, an outer photovoltaic panel is arranged outside the charging box, light energy is collected by the outer photovoltaic panel, and the charging and discharging module 2 is connected to the outer photovoltaic panel, and the energy storage battery 1 is charged by the charging and discharging module 2. At the same time, the electromagnetic signal in the environment, such as the radiation signal of a mobile phone, is received by the receiving coil 1, and the electromagnetic wave is converted into current by the receiving coil 1, amplified by the charging and discharging module 2, and then rectified and filtered to generate direct current that meets the charging voltage requirements, and the hearing aid power supply placed in the charging box is charged. The charging current and charging voltage are monitored during the electromagnetic wave energy storage process by the charging and discharging module 2, and the charging process is stopped when the charging current does not meet the charging requirements.

[0026] The main function of a hearing aid is to collect external sound wave signals, amplify the signals and transmit them to the human ear, so that the user can hear external sounds. Therefore, considering that the hearing aid continuously receives sound wave signals, the energy of the sound wave signals can be used to charge the hearing aid. For this purpose, in this embodiment, a sound wave energy storage module is provided.

[0027] The sound wave energy storage module includes a sound wave transducer, a filter, a PWM module, a transmitting coil 2 and a discharge circuit. The sound wave transducer is used to convert external sound waves into current. The sound wave transducer is connected to the filter, and the current of the set frequency is retained through the filter. The PWM module is connected to the filter, and is used to amplify the analog current signal and convert it into a pulse signal. The transmitting coil 2 is connected to the PWM module, and uses the pulse signal to generate electromagnetic waves. The sound wave energy storage module and the receiving coil 2 are respectively arranged in the hearing aid body.

[0028] The transducer structure of the sound wave includes a film, an electromagnet and a coil. The sound wave drives the film to vibrate, and the film drives the coil to move. The coil moves in the magnetic field formed by the electromagnet. According to the principle of electromagnetic induction, a current is generated in the coil, thereby converting the sound wave energy into electrical energy. The converted electrical energy passes through a filter, retains a signal of a preset frequency, and amplifies the current signal through an amplifier circuit set at the front end of the PWM module, performs pulse width modulation, generates a pulse current, and the pulse current is passed to the transmitting coil 2, and electromagnetic waves are generated through the transmitting coil 2. The transmitting coil 2 cooperates with the receiving coil 1 to convert the electromagnetic waves generated by the transmitting coil 2 into an oscillating current. The oscillating current is connected to the charging and discharging module 2 through a discharge circuit, and the oscillating current is rectified and filtered by the charging and discharging module 2 to convert it into a DC power of a preset voltage to charge the hearing aid power supply.

[0029] In this embodiment, the power management module is configured to obtain the power information of the hearing aid body and the power information of the energy storage module, control the discharge of the energy storage module, and control the energy storage module to switch the energy storage mode, including the following steps: Step 1, obtaining SOC information of the hearing aid power supply and energy storage battery 1, and storing the SOC information in the storage module; Step 2: determine whether the SOC of the hearing aid power supply is lower than the discharge threshold; if so, proceed to step 3; otherwise, use the hearing aid power supply to power the hearing aid body; Step 3, control the charging and discharging module 1 to connect the photovoltaic panel and the hearing aid power supply, and charge the hearing aid power supply through the photovoltaic panel; Step 4, obtaining the charging current value I of the hearing aid power supply, and if the charging current value I is lower than the preset minimum charging current value I0, an alarm signal 1 is issued; Step 5: determine whether the SOC of the energy storage battery 1 is lower than the discharge threshold.

The BMS chip controls the charging and discharging module 2 to connect the energy storage battery 1 and the oscillation circuit, and charges the hearing aid power supply through the electromagnetic wave energy storage module. Step 7: Control the charging and discharging module 2 to connect the discharge circuit and the hearing aid power supply, and charge the hearing aid power supply by collecting sound wave energy.

[0030] When it is detected that the power of the hearing aid is insufficient and cannot meet the power supply requirements, the photovoltaic panel outside the hearing aid is first turned on to supplement the power of the hearing aid. When it is detected that the charging current of the photovoltaic panel is lower than the set value, it means that the light is insufficient and cannot meet the charging requirements. At this time, an alarm signal 1 is issued to remind the user that the hearing aid is insufficient. Then, the power supply mode is automatically switched, the NFC card reader is started, and the NFC radio frequency card information is obtained. If the acquisition fails, the power supply mode is switched again, the sound wave energy storage module is connected, and the sound waves are collected to charge the hearing aid power supply to meet the needs of emergency use.

[0031] The charging and discharging module 1 and the charging and discharging module 2 in the present invention can be configured with functions as needed.
