Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hearing aid technology, specifically to a self-locking, anti-fall-off hearing aid RIC module ear cap. Background Technology
[0002] The core function of RIC hearing aid ear tips is to seal the ear canal, secure the device, optimize acoustics, and enhance wearing comfort. They conform to the inner wall of the ear canal to create a sealed space, preventing feedback caused by sound leakage, while enhancing low-frequency sound transmission for a clearer and more natural hearing experience. Different sizes fit different ear canals, ensuring a stable and secure fit that won't easily fall out. Ear tips with ventilation designs balance air pressure inside and outside the ear canal, reducing stuffiness. The included earwax caps prevent earwax and dust from entering the receiver, avoiding blockage or damage and extending its lifespan. Custom-made earmold models can precisely fit the shape of the ear canal, further improving the seal and wearing stability, catering to the needs of people with different levels of hearing loss.
[0003] Existing technologies for self-locking, anti-fall-off hearing aid RIC module ear tips suffer from poor adhesion and fixation within the ear canal. Due to individual differences in ear canal shape (e.g., wide, straight ear canals lack natural clamping force), standard-sized ear tips cannot achieve a precise fit and are prone to displacement and detachment during head movements and sports activities. This not only affects the hearing aid's effectiveness but also poses a risk of device loss or damage. Furthermore, the connection structure between the ear tip and the hearing aid receiver is often poorly designed, using a simple socket connection without a reliable locking mechanism. Over time, this can lead to separation due to insertion / removal operations, material aging, or external force. These issues not only reduce the stability and practicality of hearing aid wear but can also negatively impact the user experience due to frequent device adjustments, causing significant inconvenience, especially for the elderly and users in active situations.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a self-locking, anti-dislodgement ear cap for hearing aid RIC modules to address the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a self-locking, anti-fall-off ear cap for a hearing aid RIC module, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as poor adhesion between the ear cap and the patient's ear canal during actual use, which leads to the ear cap easily falling off, and the problem that the connecting wire of the ear cap is easily broken and separated from the hearing aid during use, resulting in the loss of the device.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: This utility model provides a self-locking, anti-fall-off hearing aid RIC module ear cap, including an ear cap body. A connecting wire is connected to one side of the ear cap body, and a locking component is connected to the upper end of the connecting wire. A pin is horizontally inserted inside the locking component. A button is provided in the middle of one end of the pin, and a spring is elastically installed on one side of the button. One side of the spring is fixedly connected to a connecting rod. Two plugs are provided on the outside of the other end of the connecting rod. A ring is installed on the outside of the plug located at the end of the connecting rod, and a limit plate is elastically installed on one side of the ring. A connector is fixedly installed at the bottom of the ear cap body, and the bottom of the connector is connected to a fixing wire. An ear-attaching device is installed at the bottom of the fixing wire.
[0007] Preferably, a vacuum device is fixedly installed on one side of the inner side of the ear cap body, and a plurality of adsorption holes are provided on one side of the vacuum device, and the adsorption holes are opened on the side of the ear cap body.
[0008] Preferably, a connecting ring is provided on one side of the vacuum device, and a fixing wire is inserted into the inside of the connector and connected to the connecting ring. The surface of the ear-attaching device is also provided with several suction holes, and a button is installed on one side of the upper part of the ear cap body.
[0009] Preferably, the locking component has connecting lower rings installed on both the upper and lower sides, with the lower connecting lower ring and the connecting line being fixedly connected, and the upper connecting lower ring having a connecting upper ring installed inside.
[0010] Preferably, the upper connecting ring has a circular hole inside, and a pin is inserted into the circular hole inside the upper connecting ring. A connecting wire 2 is connected to the top of the upper connecting ring.
[0011] Preferably, the connecting rod passes through the interior of the pin, and the plug is located in the circular hole inside the connecting ring.
[0012] Preferably, the spring is connected to the plug via a connecting rod, and the bottom end of the limiting plate is in contact with the surface of the plug.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. When the self-locking, anti-fall-off hearing aid RIC module ear cap is in use, a vacuum device is installed on one side inside the ear cap body. The ear-attaching device is connected to the vacuum device through a fixing wire. The vacuum device uses the principle of negative pressure to adsorb the side of the ear cap body and the ear-attaching device, so that the ear cap body can be tightly attached to the inside of the patient's ear canal, which can prevent the ear cap body from shifting or falling off when the patient's head moves or moves.
[0014] 2. When the self-locking, anti-drop hearing aid RIC module ear cap is in use, the plug is pressed and displaced to one side by a spring, locking into the inside of the connecting ring. This locks the locking component inside the connecting ring of the hearing aid, solving the problem of ear cap separation from the receiver caused by plugging and unplugging, aging, or external force in conventional sockets. It also ensures that the connection stability is not affected in scenarios such as sports and frequent removal and wearing, avoiding the risk of device damage or loss, adapting to various usage environments, and improving the practicality of the device.

The fixing line 5 and the ear-attaching device 6 are located inside the patient's ear canal to fix the ear cap body 1. The ear-attaching device 6 is tightly installed inside the patient's auricle by vacuum adsorption, which can prevent the ear cap body 1 from falling off.
[0020] For details, please refer to the following: Figure 1 As shown, a connecting line 2 is connected to one side of the ear cap body 1, and a locking component 3 is connected to the upper end of the connecting line 2. A connector 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the ear cap body 1, and the bottom of the connector 4 is connected to the fixing line 5. An ear-attaching device 6 is installed at the bottom of the fixing line 5.
[0021] Example 2: This example aims to address the issue of easily broken connecting wires in hearing aid ear tips during use. For details, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figures 1-4 A self-locking, anti-fall-off hearing aid RIC module ear cap includes an ear cap body 1. A connecting wire 2 is connected to one side of the ear cap body 1, and a locking component 3 is connected to the upper end of the connecting wire 2. A pin 31 is horizontally inserted inside the locking component 3. A button 3101 is provided in the middle of one end of the pin 31, and a spring 3102 is elastically installed on one side of the button 3101. One side of the spring 3102 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 3103. Two plugs 3104 are provided on the outside of the other end of the connecting rod 3103. A ring 3105 is installed on the outside of the plug 3104 located at the end of the connecting rod 3103, and a limit plate 3106 is elastically installed on one side of the ring 3105.
[0022] In this embodiment, the locking component 3 is equipped with a lower connecting ring 32 on both the upper and lower sides. The lower connecting ring 32 is fixedly connected to the connecting wire 2. The upper connecting ring 32 is equipped with an upper connecting ring 33 inside.
