DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0035] Example 1: See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a hearing aid drying can comprises:

[0036] A main body 1, wherein a drying chamber 2 is provided inside the main body 1 and communicated with the top of the main body 1;

[0037] A top component 3, wherein the top component 3 is detachably connected to the top of the main body 1, the top component 3 opens and closes the drying chamber 2, and a first accommodating chamber 4 communicating with the drying chamber 2 is provided in the top component 3;

[0038] A drying component 5, the drying component 5 is placed in the first accommodating chamber 4, or placed at the bottom of the drying chamber 2, or the drying component 5 is placed in the first accommodating chamber 4 and at the bottom of the drying chamber 2 respectively;

[0039] A bracket 6, wherein the bracket 6 is placed in the drying chamber 2, and the bottom of the bracket 6 abuts against the bottom of the drying chamber 2 or the bottom of the bracket 6 abuts against the top surface of the drying component 5 in the drying chamber 2;

[0040] The top of the bracket 6 is provided with a hearing aid accommodating cavity 7 , and the bottom of the hearing aid accommodating cavity 7 is provided with a plurality of bottom through holes 8 communicating with the bottom surface of the bracket 6 .

[0041] In the present invention, there are three ways to place the drying component. The first way is that there is one drying component, which is placed in the first accommodating chamber, and the hearing aid (or electronic cochlear implant) is placed in the hearing aid accommodating chamber of the bracket. In this case, the hearing aid is dried in a unilateral manner, that is, the hearing aid is dried in one direction from the top of the drying tank. The second way is that there is one drying component, which is placed at the bottom of the drying chamber, and the hearing aid is placed in the hearing aid accommodating chamber of the bracket, and the bracket is placed on the top surface of the drying component. In this case, the hearing aid is dried in a unilateral manner, that is, the hearing aid is dried in one direction from the bottom of the drying tank. The third way is that there are two drying components, one drying component is placed in the first accommodating chamber, and the other drying component is placed at the bottom of the drying chamber, and the hearing aid is placed in the hearing aid accommodating chamber of the bracket, and the bracket is placed on the top surface of the drying component. In this case, the hearing aid is dried in a bidirectional manner, that is, the hearing aid is dried in two directions from the top and bottom of the drying tank respectively. The user can choose from the three drying methods, which can be either unidirectional drying or bidirectional drying. The bidirectional drying method has higher drying efficiency and better drying effect (the bidirectional drying method is used in the attached figure).

[0042] At the same time, in this embodiment, the drying component is separated by the bracket, the top component and the hearing aid, which can prevent the desiccant in the drying component from entering the hearing aid, and can effectively ensure the drying quality and the use effect of the hearing aid.

[0043] In the utility model, the drying component is a drying cake, which includes a box, a desiccant and a sealing component. The desiccant is placed in the box (the box is directly a transparent box), and the sealing component seals the end of the box so that the desiccant is in the box and does not leak out. Among them, the sealing component is a moisture-absorbing paper sheet and a sealing aluminum foil attached to the outside of the moisture-absorbing paper sheet. When in use, the sealing aluminum foil is directly torn off, and then it is placed at the bottom of the first accommodating chamber or the drying chamber, or a drying cake is placed at the bottom of the first accommodating chamber and the drying chamber. When the drying component is in use, the sealing aluminum foil is first torn off, and then when it is placed in the first accommodating chamber, the drying component is limited by the first accommodating chamber, and the moisture-absorbing paper of the drying component is set downward so that it is facing the hearing aid. Since the first accommodating chamber and the drying chamber are connected, the hearing aid can be dehumidified by the moisture-absorbing paper and the internal desiccant. When the drying component is placed at the bottom of the drying chamber, the sealing aluminum foil will be torn off, the hygroscopic paper will face upward, and then the bottom of the bracket will be placed directly on the hygroscopic paper. Since the bottom of the hearing aid accommodating chamber has a bottom through hole connected to the bottom surface of the bracket, when the hearing aid is placed in the hearing aid accommodating chamber, the drying component at the bottom will dry the hearing aid through the hygroscopic paper and the desiccant inside it.

[0044] In this embodiment, the hearing aid is separated from the drying component at the bottom by the bracket to prevent the desiccant at the bottom from entering the hearing aid, thereby ensuring the quality of use of the hearing aid.

[0045] See also Figure 2 , 3 As shown, a downwardly extending support member 9 is provided at the bottom of the bracket 6, and the bottom of the bracket 6 abuts against the bottom of the drying chamber 2 or the top surface of the corresponding drying component 5 through the support member 9. The support member 9 is arranged beside the bottom through hole 8. The arrangement of the support member can increase the distance between the hearing aid and the drying component at the bottom, thereby further preventing the desiccant in the drying component at the bottom from entering the hearing aid, preventing the desiccant from affecting the normal operation of the hearing aid, and ensuring the use quality of the hearing aid.

[0046] Wherein, the support member 9 is a support member with a hollow structure, and the bottom through hole 8 is directly opposite to the hollow part of the support member 9;

[0047] The support member 9 is at least one support ring, and the bottom of the support ring abuts against the bottom surface of the drying chamber 2 or against the top surface of the corresponding drying component 5 .

[0048] In this embodiment, the support member is a plurality of coaxially arranged support rings, the bracket also adopts an annular structure, and the support ring and the bracket are also coaxially arranged. This is not only convenient for processing, but also makes the bracket stable and prevents tipping. The support ring with an annular structure is also easy to process.

[0049] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the top component 3 includes a middle cover 10 and a top cover 11 , the bottom of the middle cover 10 is connected to the top of the main body 1 , and the top cover 11 is connected to the top of the middle cover 10 .

[0050] The first accommodating chamber 4 is disposed on the top of the middle cover 10, and the top cover 11 opens and closes the first accommodating chamber 4; when the top cover and the middle cover are separated, the top cover opens the first accommodating chamber, so that the drying component can be placed in the first accommodating chamber, or the drying component can be taken out of the first accommodating chamber. When the top cover and the middle cover are connected, the first accommodating chamber is closed, so that the drying component is confined in the first accommodating chamber, and at the same time, external moisture can be prevented from affecting the drying of the hearing aid.

[0051] See also Figure 2 , 3 As shown, a plurality of top through holes 12 are provided on the bottom surface of the first accommodating chamber 4 to connect the bottom surface of the middle cover 10 , and the first accommodating chamber 4 is connected with the drying chamber 2 via the top through holes 12 .

[0052] The drying component is supported by the bottom of the first accommodating chamber, and a top through hole is provided to communicate with the bottom surface of the middle cover, so that after the top assembly is connected to the main body, the first accommodating chamber will communicate with the drying chamber through the through hole, and the drying component in the first accommodating chamber can dry the hearing aid on the bracket. In addition, there is a certain distance between the bottom of the through hole and the bracket, and the bottom of the first accommodating chamber also serves to limit the drying component (the bottom of the first accommodating chamber supports most of the absorbent paper at the bottom of the drying component to prevent the absorbent paper from tearing or falling from the box, and to prevent the desiccant inside the box from leaking out), preventing the desiccant inside from falling into the hearing aid, thereby ensuring the quality of the hearing aid.

[0053] The bottom of the middle cover 10 is screwed or clamped to the top of the main body 1; the bottom of the top cover 11 is screwed or clamped to the top of the middle cover 10. The inner surface of the bottom of the middle cover 10 is screwed or clamped to the outer surface of the top of the main body 1; the inner surface of the bottom of the top cover 11 is screwed or clamped to the outer surface of the top of the middle cover 10.

[0054] In this embodiment, the bottom of the middle cover is screwed to the top of the main body, and the bottom of the top cover is screwed to the top of the middle cover. Further, if only the drying components are placed in the drying chamber and no drying components are placed in the top assembly, the top assembly can only use the top cover, the bottom of the top cover is directly screwed or clamped to the top of the main body, and the bottom inner surface of the top cover is directly screwed or clamped to the top outer surface of the main body. In this embodiment, the bottom inner surface of the top cover is directly screwed to the top outer surface of the main body. In this way, when one-way drying is adopted, the volume of the drying chamber can be effectively reduced, the drying effect can be improved, and the volume of the drying tank can also be reduced, which is convenient for carrying.

[0055] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the outer surface of the main body 1 and the outer surface of the top component 3 are both provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 13; the plurality of reinforcing ribs 13 are respectively distributed on the outer surface of the main body 1 and the outer surface of the top component 3, wherein the reinforcing ribs are axial reinforcing ribs, and the axial reinforcing ribs are provided parallel to the extension direction of the main body component.

[0056] In this embodiment, the reinforcing ribs on the outer surface of the top component are arranged on the outer surface of the top cover.

[0057] The reinforcement ribs can increase the overall strength of the drying tank, increase its ability to resist deformation and cracking, increase its durability, and extend the service life of the drying tank. At the same time, the reinforcement ribs can also increase friction, and when the user screws the top assembly and the main body during installation or separation, it also plays an anti-slip role, improving the convenience of use and the user experience.

[0058] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0059] In the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "install", "connect", "connect", "fix" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, or a detachable connection, or an integral one; it can be a mechanical connection, or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, for example, the two can form a mechanical abutment or abutment connection through abutment, contact, etc., the two can also be directly hung or hung through an intermediate medium, etc., or it can be the internal connection of the two elements or the interaction relationship between the two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
