However, after the introduction of vibrato function, electronic wind instruments have the problem of difficult mouthpiece settings and difficulty in separating the blown saliva, which will affect the performance effect of electronic wind instruments. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem solved by this utility model is how to improve the poor performance of electronic wind instruments in the prior art.
[0005] The embodiments of this utility model can be implemented as follows:
[0006] This utility model provides a mouthpiece assembly for use in electronic blowpipes, the mouthpiece assembly comprising:
[0007] The mouthpiece has an air blowing channel and an air vibration channel, the air blowing channel passing through the mouthpiece and one end of the air vibration channel being closed;
[0008] The mounting block includes a main body, a first pipe component, a second pipe component, and a third pipe component. The main body has a manifold cavity. The first and second pipe components are connected to the main body and are both connected to the manifold cavity. One end of the third pipe component extends into the manifold cavity. The third pipe component is used to guide airflow to the pressure sensor that triggers the vibrating sound. The mouthpiece is installed in the manifold cavity. The air blowing channel is connected to the manifold cavity. The third pipe component is connected to the air vibration channel.
[0009] Optionally, the third conduit includes an internal section and an external section. The internal section is located inside the manifold and is inserted into the air vibration channel. The external section is located outside the main body and on the side of the main body away from the mouthpiece. The external section is used to guide airflow to the pressure sensor.
[0010] Optionally, the external segment is integrally formed with the main body; and / or, the internal segment is integrally formed with the main body.
[0011] Optionally, the first pipe component includes an air inlet section and an air outlet section. The air inlet section protrudes inside the manifold, and the air outlet section is located outside the main body. The air inlet section and the air outlet section are integrally formed.
[0012] Optionally, the first pipe fitting further includes a sealing element, which is sealed at the end of the air intake section; a notch is provided on one radial side of the air intake section, and the internal channel of the air intake section communicates with the manifold through the notch.
[0013] Optionally, the sealing component includes a sealing part and a covering part; the sealing part is connected to the covering part, the sealing part is inserted into the internal channel of the air intake section, and the covering part covers the end face of the air intake section.
[0014] Optionally, the air intake section is spaced apart from the mouthpiece.
[0015] Optionally, the second pipe fitting is located outside the main body, and the inner diameter of the second pipe fitting is larger than the inner diameter of the first pipe fitting and larger than the inner diameter of the third pipe fitting.
[0016] Optionally, the side of the main body away from the mouthpiece forms an outer end face, and the first pipe component, the second pipe component, and the third pipe component extend from the outer end face, with the second pipe component disposed near the edge of the outer end face.
[0017] The advantages of the mouthpiece assembly provided by this utility model compared to the prior art include:
[0018] When this mouthpiece assembly is applied to an electronic wind instrument, the performer can blow air into the instrument through the mouthpiece assembly. The blown air enters the electronic wind instrument through the air passage, producing sound. When the performer needs vibrato, they can squeeze the mouthpiece to guide the airflow from the vibrato passage through the third pipe, directing it to the pressure sensor to trigger vibrato and satisfy the performer's vibrato needs. Simultaneously, the blown airflow enters the confluence chamber for collection. The airflow can be introduced through the first pipe and then produce sound, while saliva can be collected by the confluence chamber and discharged through the second pipe, preventing saliva from affecting the sound production of the electronic wind instrument. Therefore, the mouthpiece assembly provided by this invention can meet the performer's vibrato needs while preventing saliva from affecting the performance, thus improving the technical problem of poor performance in existing electronic wind instruments.
[0019] Furthermore, since the air inlet protrusion of the first pipe component is located inside the manifold cavity, saliva collected in the manifold cavity can be prevented from entering the electronic wind instrument through the first pipe component, thus ensuring that the sound production of the electronic wind instrument is not affected. In addition, since the air inlet of the air inlet pipe is located at its radial notch, saliva is prevented from directly entering the first pipe component when the performer blows air, further ensuring that the sound production of the electronic wind instrument is not affected by saliva.
[0020] In addition, since the second pipe component is located near the edge of the outer end face, in the electronic blowpipe, the mounting block is tilted so that the opening formed by the second pipe component in the manifold is located at the lower position of the manifold, which is conducive to the discharge of saliva in the manifold and avoids the accumulation of saliva that reduces the cleanliness of the interior.

[0022] The electronic blowpipe provided by this utility model adopts the above-mentioned mouthpiece assembly.

[0037] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.
[0038] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3This application provides a mouthpiece assembly 10 and an electronic wind instrument 1 using the mouthpiece assembly 10. The mouthpiece assembly 10 and the electronic wind instrument 1 can improve the technical problem of poor performance of the electronic wind instrument 1 in the prior art.
[0039] In this embodiment, please refer to the following: Figures 3 to 7 The mouthpiece assembly 10 includes a mouthpiece 100 and a mounting block 200. The mouthpiece 100 has an air blowing channel 110 and an air vibration channel 120. The air blowing channel 110 passes through the mouthpiece 100, and one end of the air vibration channel 120 is closed. The mounting block 200 includes a main body 210, a first pipe component 220, a second pipe component 230, and a third pipe component 240. The main body 210 has a manifold 211. The first pipe component 220 and the second pipe component 230 are connected to the main body 210, and both the first pipe component 220 and the second pipe component 230 are connected to the manifold 211. One end of the third pipe component 240 passes through the manifold 211 and is used to guide airflow to the pressure sensor 2 that triggers the vibrating sound. The mouthpiece 100 is installed in the manifold 211, the air blowing channel 110 is connected to the manifold 211, and the third pipe component 240 is connected to the air vibration channel 120.
[0040] It should be noted that when the mouthpiece assembly 10 is used in the electronic wind instrument 1, the air vibration channel 120 forms an opening on the side near the inside of the electronic wind instrument 1. That is, the end of the air vibration channel 120 near the performer is closed, preventing the performer from blowing air into the air vibration channel 120. The performer's airflow enters the electronic wind instrument 1 through the air passage 110. Furthermore, the mouthpiece 100 is made of a flexible material, allowing the performer to bite and squeeze the mouthpiece 100 during performance, thereby compressing the air vibration channel 120. This facilitates the airflow from the third conduit 240 into the electronic wind instrument 1, triggering the vibrato. During performance, the airflow is guided from the air passage 110 to the confluence chamber 211. The airflow in the confluence chamber 211 is then guided from the first conduit 220 into the electronic wind tube 1, enabling the electronic wind tube 1 to produce sound. Any impurities such as saliva mixed in with the airflow are collected in the confluence chamber 211 and then discharged through the second conduit 230, preventing these impurities from affecting the sound production of the electronic wind tube 1. Notably, a pressure sensor 2 is installed inside the electronic wind tube 1, corresponding to the third conduit 240. The airflow introduced through the third conduit 240 acts on the pressure sensor 2, triggering the generation of vibrato. The performer can continuously bite and squeeze the mouthpiece 100, causing the air vibration passage 120 to continuously guide airflow through the third conduit 240 to the pressure sensor 2, thereby triggering continuous vibrato. Furthermore, the amplitude of the vibrato varies depending on the degree of biting and squeezing, meaning the performer can control the biting force according to the actual situation to achieve different types of vibrato. In addition, the electronic blowpipe 1 is also equipped with a pressure sensor 3, which corresponds to the first pipe component 220. The first pipe component 220 can guide the airflow to the pressure sensor 3, thereby triggering the electronic blowpipe 1 to produce sound.
[0041] As described above, when the mouthpiece assembly 10 is applied to the electronic wind instrument 1, the performer can blow air into the electronic wind instrument 1 through the mouthpiece assembly 10. The blown air enters the interior of the electronic wind instrument 1 through the air passage 110, enabling the electronic wind instrument 1 to produce sound. When the performer needs vibrato, by biting and squeezing the mouthpiece 100, the airflow in the vibrato passage 120 can be discharged from the third pipe 240, guiding the airflow to the pressure sensor 2, thereby triggering vibrato and satisfying the performer's vibrato needs. At the same time, the blown airflow enters the confluence cavity 211 for collection. The airflow can be introduced from the first pipe 220 and then produce sound, while saliva can be collected by the confluence cavity 211 and then discharged through the second pipe 230, preventing saliva from affecting the sound production of the electronic wind instrument 1. Based on this, the mouthpiece assembly 10 provided by this utility model can meet the performer's vibrato needs while preventing saliva from affecting the performance effect, thus improving the technical problem of poor performance of the electronic wind instrument 1 in the prior art.
[0042] In this embodiment, the third conduit 240 includes an internal section 241 and an external section 242. The internal section 241 is located inside the manifold 211 and is inserted into the air vibration channel 120. The external section 242 is located outside the main body 210 and on the side of the main body 210 away from the mouthpiece 100. The external section 242 is used to guide airflow to the pressure sensor 2. In other words, by directly inserting the internal section 241 into the air vibration channel 120, the third conduit 240 and the manifold 211 are isolated from each other, preventing the airflow in the manifold 211 from affecting the airflow in the air vibration channel 120 and ensuring the stability of the vibrato. At the same time, the connection between the internal section 241 and the mouthpiece 100 can also improve the connection stability between the mouthpiece 100 and the mounting block 200, ensuring the stability of the mouthpiece 100's position even after the performer continuously bites and squeezes the mouthpiece 100. It is worth noting that the built-in section 241 is located inside the manifold 211, that is, the built-in section 241 does not extend out of the manifold 211. This prevents the performer from biting the built-in section 241 when biting and squeezing the mouthpiece 100, which would affect the operation and also prevent the performer from being injured. It also prevents the mouthpiece 100 from being damaged.
[0043] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the outer diameter of the built-in section 241 is larger than the outer diameter of the outer section 242, and the inner diameter of the internal channel of the built-in section 241 is larger than the inner diameter of the internal channel of the outer section 242. This allows the airflow to gradually increase in pressure as the performer bites and squeezes the mouthpiece 100 through the gradually decreasing diameter channel, ensuring that the airflow generated by biting and squeezing has sufficient impact force on the pressure sensor 2, thereby ensuring that the vibrato is stably formed.
[0044] Furthermore, the external segment 242 is integrally formed with the main body 210; and / or, the internal segment 241 is integrally formed with the main body 210. "And / or" refers to the fact that only the external segment 242 and the main body 210 may be integrally formed, or only the internal segment 241 may be integrally formed with the main body 210; alternatively, both the internal segment 241 and the external segment 242 may be integrally formed with the main body 210. When one of the internal segment 241 and the external segment 242 is not integrally formed with the main body 210, assembly can be achieved by methods such as plug-in, bonding, or welding.
[0045] In this embodiment, the first pipe component 220 includes an air inlet section 221 and an air outlet section 222. The air inlet section 221 protrudes inside the manifold 211, and the air outlet section 222 is located outside the main body 210. The air inlet section 221 and the air outlet section 222 are integrally formed. Since the air inlet section 221 of the first pipe component 220 protrudes inside the manifold 211, it can prevent saliva collected in the manifold 211 from being introduced into the electronic blowpipe 1 through the first pipe component 220, thereby ensuring that the sound production of the electronic blowpipe 1 is not affected.
[0046] It is worth noting that the first pipe component 220 and the main body 210 are integrally molded, which can reduce the difficulty of setting the first pipe component 220.
[0047] Furthermore, the first conduit 220 also includes a sealing element 223, which seals the end of the air intake section 221. A notch 2211 is provided on one radial side of the air intake section 221, and the internal channel of the air intake section 221 communicates with the confluence chamber 211 through the notch 2211. Since the air inlet of the air intake pipe is located at its radial notch 2211, saliva is prevented from directly entering the first conduit 220 when the performer blows air, further ensuring that the sound production of the electronic wind instrument 1 is not affected by saliva. In other words, the direction of airflow entering the air intake section 221 is different from the direction of airflow blowing from the blowing channel 110 into the confluence chamber 211, thus preventing the airflow from directly entering the air intake section 221. The airflow needs to detour at a certain angle before entering the air intake section 221, preventing saliva and other impurities from directly entering the air intake section 221. Furthermore, the sealing element 223 seals the opening on the end face of the air intake section 221, preventing saliva and other impurities from entering the air intake section 221. Furthermore, when it is necessary to clean the first pipe fitting 220, the sealing part 223 can also be removed to facilitate the cleaning of the first pipe fitting 220.
[0048] The sealing component 223 includes a sealing part and a covering part; the sealing part is connected to the covering part and is inserted into the internal channel of the air intake section 221, while the covering part covers the end face of the air intake section 221. By completely sealing the end face of the air intake section 221 with the covering part, an L-shaped gap is formed between the sealing component 223 and the air intake section 221. Even if the sealing component 223 is not installed properly, it can still effectively seal the end opening of the air intake section 221, preventing impurities such as saliva from entering the air intake section 221.
[0049] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the air inlet section 221 is located below the air blowing channel 110, and the air inlet section 221 is spaced apart from the mouthpiece 100. By separating the air inlet section 221 from the mouthpiece 100, the air inlet section 221 can be prevented from affecting the air intake of the air blowing channel 110, ensuring that the airflow smoothly enters the confluence cavity 211 and avoiding the problem of difficulty in blowing air.
[0050] In this embodiment, the second pipe component 230 is located outside the main body 210. The inner diameter of the second pipe component 230 is larger than the inner diameter of the first pipe component 220 and larger than the inner diameter of the third pipe component 240. Setting the inner diameter of the second pipe component 230 to be larger facilitates the timely discharge of saliva and other impurities from the manifold 211, reducing the occurrence of blockage in the second pipe component 230.
[0051] Furthermore, an outer end face 212 is formed on the side of the main body 210 away from the mouthpiece 100. The first pipe component 220, the second pipe component 230, and the third pipe component 240 extend from the outer end face 212, with the second pipe component 230 positioned near the edge of the outer end face 212. Because the second pipe component 230 is positioned near the edge of the outer end face 212, in the electronic blowpipe 1, by tilting the mounting block 200, the opening formed by the second pipe component 230 in the manifold 211 is located at the lower position of the manifold 211, which facilitates the drainage of saliva from the manifold 211 and prevents saliva accumulation that could reduce the cleanliness of the interior.
[0052] In this embodiment, a groove 130 is provided on the side of the mouthpiece 100 away from the main body 210, and an air blowing channel 110 forms an opening on the bottom wall of the groove 130; while the air vibration channel 120 also corresponds to the groove 130.
[0053] In summary, when the mouthpiece assembly 10 is applied to the electronic wind instrument 1, the performer can blow air into the electronic wind instrument 1 through the mouthpiece assembly 10. The blown air enters the interior of the electronic wind instrument 1 through the air passage 110, enabling the electronic wind instrument 1 to produce sound. When the performer needs vibrato, by biting and squeezing the mouthpiece 100, the airflow in the vibrato passage 120 can be discharged from the third pipe 240, guiding the airflow to the pressure sensor 2, thereby triggering vibrato and satisfying the performer's vibrato needs. At the same time, the blown airflow enters the confluence cavity 211 for collection. The airflow can be introduced from the first pipe 220 and then produce sound, while saliva can be collected by the confluence cavity 211 and then discharged through the second pipe 230, preventing saliva from affecting the sound production of the electronic wind instrument 1. Based on this, the mouthpiece assembly 10 provided by this utility model can meet the performer's vibrato needs while preventing saliva from affecting the performance effect, thus improving the technical problem of poor performance of the electronic wind instrument 1 in the prior art. Furthermore, since the air inlet section 221 of the first conduit 220 protrudes inside the manifold 211, saliva collected in the manifold 211 is prevented from entering the electronic wind tube 1 through the first conduit 220, thus ensuring that the sound production of the electronic wind tube 1 is not affected. Additionally, since the air inlet of the air inlet pipe is located at its radial notch 2211, saliva is prevented from directly entering the first conduit 220 when the player blows air, further ensuring that the sound production of the electronic wind tube 1 is not affected by saliva. Because the second conduit 230 is positioned near the edge of the outer end face 212, and the mounting block 200 is tilted in the electronic wind tube 1, the opening formed by the second conduit 230 in the manifold 211 is located at a lower position in the manifold 211, which facilitates the drainage of saliva from the manifold 211 and prevents saliva accumulation that could reduce internal cleanliness.
[0054] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
