Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electronic technology, and in particular to an electronic keyboard musical instrument. Background Art

[0002] The keys of traditional electronic keyboards and electric pianos have conductive rubber and a printed circuit board underneath, with carbon film contacts arranged on the printed circuit board. In a dual-force sensing key structure, the carbon film contacts under each key are usually divided into four parts. We call the two interconnected contacts common carbon film contacts, also known as the C-zone carbon film contacts, and the other two contacts are called non-common carbon film contacts, also known as the A-zone carbon film contacts and the B-zone carbon film contacts. In a triple-force sensing key structure, the carbon film contacts under each key are usually divided into six parts. We call the three interconnected contacts common carbon film contacts, also known as the D-zone carbon film contacts, and the other three contacts are called non-common carbon film contacts, also known as the A-zone carbon film contacts, the B-zone carbon film contacts, and the C-zone carbon film contacts.

[0003] Modern electronic keyboards typically use PCM sampling as their sound source. Sampling involves recording the sound of an instrument, digitizing it, and storing it in ROM or Flash memory. Then, when a key is pressed, the CPU or DSP chip plays back the sound. Chips that can store and play back sampled sound sources are called sound source chips.

[0004] In traditional electronic keyboard instruments, for example, the carbon film contacts in areas A, C, and B under each key are not independent of the carbon film contacts in the same areas under other keys on the printed circuit board. Instead, they are matrixed and connected to the corresponding pins on the sound source chip on the motherboard via rows of wires. When a key is pressed, the conductive rubber sequentially connects the carbon film contacts in areas A and C, and then the carbon film contacts in areas B and C. This, in turn, also connects the corresponding pins on the sound source chip, triggering the circuitry within the sound source chip of the electronic keyboard or electric piano to produce sound, thus fulfilling the function of a velocity-sensitive key press and also acting as a switch.

[0005] When playing with both hands on the keyboard of a traditional electronic organ or electric piano, the sound sources of the left and right hands cannot be separated. No matter how many keys are played at the same time, the sounds will be mixed together, and the sense of direction and layering will not be reflected. In addition, when using dual-timbre and multi-timbre modes, the sound source of each tone is not independent. Summary of the Invention

[0006] On the keyboard or electric piano, we hope that the sound sources of the content played by both hands can be independent of each other. When the left and right hands touch the keys at the same time, the corresponding sound sources will sound at the same time; we also hope that different fingers touching the keys will control different corresponding sound source chips, and when multiple keys are pressed at the same time, multiple relatively independent sound source chips will work at the same time.

[0007] In order to solve the above technical deficiencies of conventional electronic keyboard instruments, the present invention provides an electronic keyboard instrument with stereo function:

[0008] An electronic keyboard musical instrument comprises keys, carbon film contacts under the keys and a sound source chip on a mainboard;

[0009] The left and right hands or each finger of the keyboard player respectively correspond to one or a group of relatively independent sound source chips;

[0010] Two or more of the sound source chips share a layer of keys and carbon film contacts under the keys, the keys are conductor keys, and the carbon film contacts are relatively independent;

[0011] A switch circuit is provided between the conductor keys and the relatively independent carbon film contacts below them and the sound source chips corresponding to the left and right hands or each finger respectively;

[0012] The switch circuit includes a DC power supply and a number of optocoupler groups that matches the number of piano keys, or includes a single-chip microcomputer circuit and a number of optocoupler groups that matches the number of piano keys;

[0013] Playing electronic keyboard instruments with conductor keys requires the use of conductor gloves;

[0014] The switch circuit is connected to the wire input terminal on the conductor glove via a control wire;

[0015] By pressing any of the conductor keys with the left or right hand or a finger wearing the conductor glove, the corresponding optocoupler group in the related switch circuit can be controlled, and further the corresponding pin in the related sound source chip can be controlled.

[0016] In mid- to high-end electronic keyboard instruments, the carbon film contacts, after being matrixed, are not directly connected to the sound source chip. Instead, they are connected to the sound source chip via the key control CPU. Different electronic keyboard instruments have different sound source chips and different pin connection relationships. The key control CPU and sound source chip are state-of-the-art and will not be discussed in detail here.

[0017] The sound source chip mentioned in this article may include a key control CPU at the front end. The sentence described in the article as being connected to the corresponding pins of the relevant sound source chip can be interpreted as being connected to the corresponding pins of the relevant key control CPU.

[0018] In the above technical solution, the carbon film contact under the same key simultaneously controls the corresponding optocoupler groups in two or more switch circuits. When the left or right hand or each finger presses different keys at the same time, it is required that no current loop is allowed to form between different optocoupler groups under the same key.

[0019] The non-common carbon film contacts under the keys are connected to the input ends of the optocouplers in the optocoupler group, and the output ends of each optocoupler in the optocoupler group are connected to the sound source chip. When the optocoupler is activated, it can simultaneously connect the two corresponding pins in the relevant sound source chip. This method can achieve stereo sound superposition.

[0020] The carbon film contacts under the keys are divided into different zones, and each zone is connected to one end of the output of the corresponding optocoupler in the optocoupler group. The other end of the optocoupler output is connected to the sound source chip. When the optocoupler is started, the connection between the carbon film contact and the sound source chip will be connected. This method cannot achieve stereo sound superposition.

[0021] We have designed the following switching circuits for use in various electronic keyboard instruments to ensure that when two or more switching circuits operate simultaneously, no current loops are formed between them.

[0022] In the switching circuit that constitutes a stereo electronic keyboard instrument, we call the DC power switching circuit that requires the use of a conductor keyboard and a conductor glove a B-type switching circuit, and the combination of two B-type switching circuits is called a BB combination switching circuit.

[0023] The BB combination switch circuit includes a left channel switch circuit and a right channel switch circuit; the left channel switch circuit and the right channel switch circuit both include independent DC power supplies and optocoupler groups that are the same in number as the piano keys; the current directions of the left channel switch circuit and the right channel switch circuit are opposite.

[0024] In the BB combination switch circuit, a protection circuit is designed on the switch circuit control line connecting the left and right channel conductor gloves. Whenever the two control lines meet, the protection circuit is activated, causing at least one switch circuit control line to enter an interrupted state. This can prevent the adverse effects caused by the two switch circuit control lines connected to the left and right channel conductor gloves accidentally touching each other.

[0025] We call the BB combination switch circuit that can realize the function of sound superposition stereo the new BB combination switch circuit. We call the BB combination switch circuit that cannot realize the function of sound superposition stereo the old BB combination switch circuit.

[0026] In the switching circuit that constitutes a stereo electronic keyboard instrument, the single-chip microcomputer circuit is combined with the optocoupler group. We call the single-chip microcomputer circuit that requires the application of a conductor keyboard and a conductor glove a C-type switching circuit, and the combination of two or more C-type switching circuits is called a CC combination switching circuit.

[0027] In a two-channel switch circuit corresponding to the left and right hands playing a keyboard instrument, or in a multi-channel switch circuit corresponding to multiple fingers playing a keyboard instrument, each switch circuit includes a single-chip microcomputer circuit and a photocoupler group that matches the number of keys;

[0028] Between two or more single-chip microcomputer circuits, the input pin wires at the same position are combined together and connected to the corresponding conductor keys in sequence;

[0029] In each of the switch circuits, the optocoupler group corresponding to the piano key is arranged between the output terminal corresponding to the single chip circuit and the VCC or GND pin;

[0030] Each of the single chip microcomputer circuits leads out a high and low level control line as a control line of the switch circuit, which is connected to the wire input end on the corresponding conductor glove.

[0031] We call the CC combination switch circuit that can realize the sound superposition stereo function the new CC combination switch circuit. We call the CC combination switch circuit that cannot realize the sound superposition stereo function the old CC combination switch circuit.

[0032] In the switching circuit that makes up a stereo electronic keyboard instrument, a DC power supply is combined with an optocoupler group. One end of the input terminals of all optocouplers in the optocoupler group is connected to an electrode of the DC power supply, and the other end of the input terminal of each optocoupler in the optocoupler group is connected one-to-one to different partitions of relatively independent non-common carbon film contacts under the keys. The common carbon film contacts are connected to the other end of the DC power supply. We call this switching circuit that does not require a conductor keyboard or a conductor glove a type A switching circuit, and the combination of two type A switching circuits is called an AA combination switching circuit.

[0033] An electronic keyboard musical instrument comprises keys, carbon film contacts under the keys and a sound source chip on a mainboard;

[0034] The left and right hands playing the keyboard instrument correspond to one or a group of relatively independent sound source chips respectively;

[0035] The keys are divided into a left keyboard area and a right keyboard area;

[0036] A left channel switching circuit is provided between the carbon film contacts under the keys in the left keyboard area and the sound source chip corresponding to the left hand;

[0037] A right channel switching circuit is set between the carbon film contacts under the keys in the right keyboard area and the sound source chip corresponding to the right hand;

[0038] The left channel switching circuit and the right channel switching circuit include a common DC power supply and a photocoupler group having the same number as the corresponding partitioned keys;

[0039] When the left or right hand presses the piano keys, the conductive rubber covers the carbon film contacts, which can control the corresponding optocoupler group in the relevant switch circuit, and further control the corresponding pins in the relevant sound source chip.

[0040] The AA combination switch circuit eliminates the need for conductor keys, and electronic keyboard instruments using the AA combination switch circuit also do not require the use of conductor gloves. The AA combination switch circuit includes a fixed AA combination partition structure and an adjustable AA combination partition structure. The AA combination switch circuit is characterized by its ability to achieve stereo sound with superimposed tones.

[0041] In the switch circuit that constitutes a stereo electronic keyboard instrument, a combination of an A-type circuit and a B-type circuit, in which the A-type circuit can be controlled by the B-type circuit, or the B-type circuit can be controlled by the A-type circuit, is called an AB combination switch circuit.

[0042] The AB combination switch circuit includes a left channel switch circuit and a right channel switch circuit;

[0043] The left channel switching circuit and the right channel switching circuit include a DC power supply and a number of optocoupler groups that matches the number of piano keys, or include a single-chip microcomputer circuit and a number of optocoupler groups that matches the number of piano keys;

[0044] Wherein, each of the optocoupler groups in the right channel switch circuit is controlled by a corresponding optocoupler normally closed solid-state relay, and the corresponding optocoupler normally closed solid-state relay is controlled by the left channel switch circuit;

[0045] When the left hand wearing the conductive glove presses the piano key, the corresponding optocoupler group in the left channel switch circuit will be activated, and at the same time, the corresponding optocoupler normally closed solid-state relay will be used to close the corresponding optocoupler group in the right channel switch circuit under the same key.

[0046] We call the AB combination switch circuit that can realize the function of sound superposition stereophonic sound the new AB combination switch circuit. We call the AB combination switch circuit that cannot realize the function of sound superposition stereophonic sound the old AB combination switch circuit.

[0047] In the switching circuit that constitutes a stereo electronic keyboard instrument, a combination of an A-type circuit and a C-type circuit, in which the A-type circuit can be controlled by the C-type circuit, or the C-type circuit can be controlled by the A-type circuit, is called an AC combination circuit.

[0048] The AC combination switch circuit includes a left channel switch circuit and a right channel switch circuit, each of which includes a single-chip microcomputer circuit and a number of optocoupler groups that matches the number of piano keys; wherein the right channel switch circuit is an A-type circuit, and each optocoupler group in the right channel switch circuit is controlled by an optocoupler normally closed solid-state relay, which is in turn controlled by the left channel switch circuit;

[0049] When the left hand wearing the conductive glove presses the piano key, the corresponding optocoupler group in the left channel switch circuit will be activated, and at the same time, the corresponding optocoupler normally closed solid-state relay will be used to close the corresponding optocoupler group in the right channel switch circuit under the same key.

[0050] We call the AC combination switch circuit that can realize the sound superposition stereo function the new AC combination switch circuit. We call the AC combination switch circuit that cannot realize the sound superposition stereo function the old AC combination switch circuit.

[0051] In the AB and AC combination switch circuits, relatively independent A and B contacts are arranged on the keys. The B contacts are combined and connected to the control line in the switch circuit, while the A contacts function as the original conductor keyboard. The relatively independent A and B contacts combine to function as a contact switch on the keyboard, enabling wireless applications of the conductor gloves used for playing keyboard instruments.

[0052] The beneficial effects produced by the above technical solution are as follows: in a two-channel or multi-channel switching circuit, the left and right hands or each finger correspond to one or a group of sound source chips respectively, and a conductive keyboard and conductive gloves are used, as well as a switching circuit between relatively independent carbon film contacts and the sound source chips arranged under the keyboard. On a single-layer keyboard, when two hands or multiple fingers wearing conductive gloves press the keys at the same time, the optocoupler group in the switching circuit connected to the corresponding sound source chip will be activated, and the corresponding pins of the relevant sound source chips will be further turned on, thereby playing stereo sounds with different sound sources.

[0070] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0071] In this application, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variations thereof are intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a ..." does not preclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element.

[0072] Specific implementation 1: New BB combination switch circuit

[0073] In the left-channel switching circuit, the positive input terminals of all the optocouplers in each optocoupler group are combined and connected to the positive wire of the left-channel DC power supply; the negative input terminals of each optocoupler in each optocoupler group are connected one-to-one to different partitions of relatively independent non-common carbon film contacts under the corresponding conductor key; the common carbon film contacts are connected to the corresponding conductor key; the negative wire of the left-channel DC power supply serves as the control line of the switching circuit and is connected to the wire input terminal on the left-channel conductor glove;

[0074] In the right channel switching circuit, the negative input terminals of all the optocouplers in each optocoupler group are combined and connected to the negative wire of the right channel DC power supply; the positive input terminal of each optocoupler in each optocoupler group is connected one-to-one to different partitions of relatively independent non-common carbon film contacts under the corresponding conductor key; the common carbon film contacts are connected to the corresponding conductor keys; the positive wire of the right channel DC power supply serves as the control line of the switching circuit and is connected to the wire input terminal on the right channel conductor glove.

[0075] In each switching circuit, the positive and negative output pins of each optocoupler in the optocoupler group are respectively combined with the same output pins of the optocouplers at the same position in other optocoupler groups in the same circuit, using the matrix key rules of traditional electronic keyboard instruments, and then connected to the corresponding pins of the relevant sound source chip.

[0076] Working principle of the new BB combination switch circuit:

[0077] In the left and right channel switching circuits, when the left hand wearing the conductive glove presses a key, the optocoupler in the optocoupler group between the left channel DC power supply and the corresponding carbon film contact under the conductive keyboard forms a current loop and is activated. When the right hand wearing the conductive glove presses a key, the optocoupler in the optocoupler group between the right channel DC power supply and the corresponding carbon film contact under the conductive keyboard forms a current loop and is activated.

[0078] When the fingers of both hands press different keys at the same time, the two switching circuits work at the same time, which can simultaneously start the optocouplers in the corresponding optocoupler groups in the two circuits. The corresponding pins of the relevant sound source chip connected at both ends of each optocoupler output end through wires will be turned on, and two-channel stereo sound can be played.

[0079] The current directions of the two switching circuits are opposite. When two hands wearing conductive gloves touch the keys at the same time, no current loop will be formed between the left and right channel optocoupler groups under the same key through the finger wires.

[0099] In the new and old BB combination switch circuits of an electronic keyboard instrument, a protection circuit is designed on the control lines of the left and right channel switch circuits. The protection circuit includes an optocoupler normally closed solid-state relay. The positive pole of the input terminal of the optocoupler normally closed solid-state relay is connected to the positive pole wire of the DC power supply of the right channel switch circuit. The negative pole wire of the DC power supply of the right channel switch circuit serves as the control line of the right channel switch circuit. The negative pole of the input terminal and the negative pole of the output terminal of the optocoupler normally closed solid-state relay are combined to serve as the control line of the left channel switch circuit. The positive pole wire of the DC power supply of the left channel switch circuit is connected to the positive pole of the output terminal of the optocoupler normally closed solid-state relay.

[0100] Alternatively, the negative pole of the input terminal of the optocoupler normally closed solid-state relay is connected to the negative pole wire of the DC power supply of the left channel switching circuit, the positive pole wire of the DC power supply of the left channel switching circuit serves as the control line of the left channel switching circuit, the positive pole of the input terminal and the positive pole of the output terminal of the optocoupler normally closed solid-state relay are combined together as the control line of the right channel switching circuit, and the negative pole wire of the DC power supply of the right channel switching circuit is connected to the negative pole of the output terminal of the optocoupler normally closed solid-state relay.

[0101] In this way, when the two switch circuit control lines are in contact, the optocoupler normally closed solid-state relay will be powered on and turned on, and the output end of the optocoupler normally closed solid-state relay will disconnect one of the switch circuit control lines connected to the DC power supply, so that a current loop cannot be formed between the two switch circuit control lines.

[0102] Working principle of the old BB combination switch circuit:

[0103] In the left and right channel switching circuits, when the left hand wearing the conductive glove presses a key, the optocoupler in the optocoupler group between the left channel DC power supply and the corresponding conductive keyboard forms a current loop and is activated. When the right hand wearing the conductive glove presses a key, the optocoupler in the optocoupler group between the right channel DC power supply and the corresponding conductive keyboard forms a current loop and is activated.

[0104] By pressing different keys with the fingers of both hands at the same time, the optocouplers in the corresponding optocoupler groups in the two switch circuits can be activated at the same time. The connection between the carbon film contacts at the output end of the optocoupler and the corresponding pins of the relevant sound source chip is further connected, and stereo sounds with different sound sources will be played.

[0105] The current directions of the two switching circuits are opposite. When two hands wearing conductive gloves touch the keys at the same time, no current loop will be formed between the left and right channel optocoupler groups under the same key through the finger wires.

[0123] Specific implementation 3: New CC combination switch circuit

[0124] In each of the single-chip microcomputer circuits, each of the optocoupler groups is controlled by a driving optocoupler; the positive input terminal of the driving optocoupler is connected to the VCC pin, and the negative input terminal of the driving optocoupler is connected to the output terminal corresponding to the single-chip microcomputer circuit; in each of the optocoupler groups, the positive input terminals of all the optocouplers are combined and connected to the negative output terminal of the driving optocoupler; the positive output terminal of the driving optocoupler is connected to the VCC pin of the single-chip microcomputer circuit; the negative input terminal of each optocoupler in each of the optocoupler groups is connected one-to-one to different partitions of relatively independent non-common carbon film contacts under the corresponding conductor key; the common carbon film contact is connected to the output terminal corresponding to the single-chip microcomputer circuit through a directional diode.

[0125] In each switching circuit, the positive and negative output pins of each optocoupler in the optocoupler group are respectively combined with the same output pins of the optocouplers at the same position in other optocoupler groups in the same circuit, using the matrix key rules of traditional electronic keyboard instruments, and then connected to the corresponding pins of the relevant sound source chip.

[0126] Working principle of the new CC combination switch circuit:

[0127] In a two-channel or multi-channel single-chip microcomputer switching circuit, when a finger wearing a conductive glove presses a key, it is equivalent to the high and low level control lines inputting a high level or low level to the corresponding input end of the programmed single-chip microcomputer circuit through the conductive keyboard. Taking the input of a low level as an example, the matching single-chip microcomputer circuit detects the input signal and controls the corresponding output end to output a low level.

[0128] The 5V signal on the Vcc pin first passes through the input and output ends of the driver optocoupler and then connects to the output end of the microcontroller circuit to form a current loop to start the driver optocoupler. After the driver optocoupler is started, the 5V signal on the Vcc pin is connected to the positive input end of the first optocoupler and the second optocoupler through the positive and negative output pins of the driver optocoupler. Then, the 5V signal is further transmitted to the carbon film contact in area A connected to it through the negative input end of the first optocoupler, and the 5V signal is transmitted to the carbon film contact in area B connected to it through the negative input end of the second optocoupler. Under the action of the conductive rubber, the carbon film contacts in areas A and C and the carbon film contacts in areas B and C are turned on in turn, transmitting the 5V signal from the vcc pin to the carbon film contacts in area C. The carbon film contacts in area C with the 5V signal are connected to the output end corresponding to the single-chip microcomputer circuit through a diode, forming a current loop with the low-level signal at the output end, and further starting the first optocoupler and the second optocoupler in turn. Subsequently, the pin wires corresponding to the sound source chip connected to the output ends of the first optocoupler and the second optocoupler will also be turned on in turn, starting the circuit inside the sound source chip and playing back the sampled sound.

[0129] By selecting a switching circuit that combines a single-chip microcomputer circuit and an optocoupler group, and applying a directional diode, there is no need for the current direction of the DC power supply to be opposite, nor is there a need to apply an optocoupler normally closed solid-state relay. This can prevent two or more optocoupler groups corresponding to the same key from forming a current loop when different high and low level control lines touch the key.

[0130] Because the input and output ends of the microcontroller are not like the positive and negative poles of a DC power supply, which have the physical conduction phenomenon, in two or more microcontroller circuits, different high and low level control lines touch the keys at the same time. Even though common carbon film contacts are used, no current loop will be formed between the related microcontroller circuits.

[0131] Each MCU needs to be programmed, and communication needs to be established between them to allow multiple control lines to share the same set of input IO ports without interfering with each other. For example, the application of MCU circuits in electronic keyboard instruments uses a six-channel 61-key electronic piano as an example: it is implemented by six groups of MCU circuits. Each group of MCU circuits includes 61 input terminals and 61 output terminals corresponding to the keys, as well as a common point. When the common point touches one or more input terminals, a current loop signal is formed. This group of signals is collected by the MCU and output to this group.

[0132] Take one of the groups as an example: it mainly uses the high-speed polling control method of the microcontroller io pin, and can complete the corresponding operation within a dozen microseconds. When a group of microcontrollers receives an executable operation instruction, it sets the common point to a low level, and then reads 61 input signals through 8 74HC245s respectively, stores the read results in the register, and then outputs the read signal through 8 74HC573s. If the input signal changes, the optocoupler connected to the output end will also change accordingly. When the instruction received by the microcontroller is not in line with its own instruction, the microcontroller will set the common point to a high level, and this group of circuits will stop working. The same principle applies to the other groups.

[0133] The principle of the first group of single-chip microcomputer circuits is: it will actively issue instructions to control the working status of the six single-chip microcomputers, and will change the instructions issued at intervals to let all the single-chip microcomputers work in turn. In this way, a circuit is realized in which 61 times 6 groups of signals are collected in this group, but the outputs will not interfere with each other.

[0138] (2) Taking a single-tone dual-velocity electronic keyboard instrument as an example, the carbon film contacts under the keys are divided into relatively independent carbon film contacts in area A CC102, relatively independent carbon film contacts in area C CC103, and relatively independent carbon film contacts in area B CC104. Among them, the carbon film contacts in area C are common carbon film contacts, and the carbon film contacts in areas A and B are non-common carbon film contacts.

[0139] (3) A switching circuit is set between the carbon film contacts under the keys and the sound source chip CC106 corresponding to the left and right hands or different fingers playing the keyboard instrument. The switching circuit includes a single-chip microcomputer circuit CC107 and an optocoupler group with the same number of keys.

[0140] (4) In two or more single-chip microcomputer circuits CC107, the input terminals CC108 at the same position are combined together and connected to the corresponding conductor keys CC101 in sequence through wires. (For example: the first input terminals of different single-chip microcomputer circuits are combined together and connected to the first conductor key; the second input terminals of different single-chip microcomputer circuits are combined together and connected to the second conductor key, etc.)

[0141] (5) In the left and right channel or multi-channel switching circuit, each optocoupler group in each switching circuit includes a first optocoupler corresponding to the carbon film contacts in area A and area C below the keyboard and a second optocoupler corresponding to the carbon film contacts in area B and area C below the keyboard.

[0142] (6) In the single-tone dual-keyboard velocity sensing structure, each optocoupler group of the new CC combination switch circuit includes three optocouplers. We call the first optocoupler the driving optocoupler CC112, the second optocoupler the first optocoupler CC113, and the third optocoupler the second optocoupler CC114.

[0143] (7) In each switch circuit, the positive input terminal and the positive output terminal of the driver optocoupler CC112 are connected to the VCC pin CC111 of the single-chip microcomputer circuit CC107, the negative input terminal of the driver optocoupler CC112 is connected to the corresponding output terminal CC109 of the single-chip microcomputer circuit CC107, and the negative output terminal of the driver optocoupler CC112 is connected to the positive input terminals of the first optocoupler CC113 and the second optocoupler CC114. When the driver optocoupler CC112 is turned on, it provides a VCC signal to the positive input terminals of the first and second optocouplers.

[0144] (8) The negative electrode of the input terminal of the first optocoupler CC113 in the optocoupler group is connected to the carbon film contact CC102 in area A under the corresponding key, and the negative electrode of the input terminal of the second optocoupler CC114 is connected to the carbon film contact CC104 in area B under the corresponding key.

[0145] (9) In all optocoupler groups, the positive output pin of the first optocoupler CC113 and the positive output pin of the first optocoupler CC113 in other optocoupler groups in the same circuit are matrix-synthesized according to the matrix key-pressing rule of a traditional electronic keyboard instrument, and then connected to the corresponding pin in the A-zone pin CC117 of the relevant sound source chip CC116; the negative output pin of the first optocoupler CC113 and the negative output pin of the first optocoupler CC113 in other optocoupler groups in the same circuit are matrix-synthesized according to the matrix key-pressing rule of a traditional electronic keyboard instrument, and then connected to the corresponding pin in the C-zone pin CC118 of the relevant sound source chip CC116;

[0146] In all optocoupler groups, the positive output pin of the second optocoupler CC114 and the positive output pin of the second optocoupler CC114 in other optocoupler groups in the same circuit are synthesized through a matrix, and then connected to the corresponding pin in the B-area pin CC119 of the relevant sound source chip CC116; the negative output pin of the second optocoupler CC114 and the negative output pin of the second optocoupler CC114 in other optocoupler groups in the same circuit are synthesized through a matrix, and then connected to the corresponding pin in the C-area pin CC118 of the relevant sound source chip.

[0147] (10) A directional diode CC115 needs to be arranged between the carbon film contact CC103 in the C area under the key and the output terminal CC109 corresponding to each microcontroller circuit CC107.

[0148] (11) The conductor glove CC105 is used to play a stereo electronic keyboard instrument. Each microcontroller circuit is connected to the corresponding wire input terminal CC106 on the conductor glove CC105 through a high and low level control line CC110.

[0149] (12) A two-channel stereo electronic keyboard instrument requires two relatively independent sound source chips and two single-chip microcomputer circuits. The carbon film contacts under the keys are connected to the two sound source chips through the two single-chip microcomputer circuits, which can realize left and right two-channel stereo.

[0150] (13) A six-channel stereo electronic keyboard instrument requires six relatively independent sound source chips and six single-chip microcomputer circuits.

The thumb finger wires on the left and right conductor gloves correspond to a single-chip microcomputer circuit respectively, and the finger wires of the index finger and middle finger on the left and right conductor gloves correspond to a single-chip microcomputer circuit respectively. The finger wires of the ring finger and little finger on the left and right conductor gloves correspond to a single-chip microcomputer circuit respectively.

The carbon film contacts under the keys are connected to the ten sound source chips through the ten single-chip microcomputer circuits, which can realize ten-channel stereo.

[0152] (15) The single-chip microcomputer circuit consists of a single-chip microcomputer and an expansion chip. The single-chip microcomputer is selected as a 51 single-chip microcomputer, and the optocoupler is selected as a P281 chip optocoupler. Other similar available models can also be selected.

[0153] Specific implementation 4: Old CC combination switch circuit

[0154] In each of the single-chip microcomputer circuits, the positive input terminals of all the optocouplers in the optocoupler group are combined together and connected to the VCC pin of the single-chip microcomputer circuit; the negative input terminals of all the optocouplers in the optocoupler group are combined together and connected to the corresponding output terminals of the single-chip microcomputer circuit.

[0155] In each switching circuit, one pin of each optocoupler output end in the optocoupler group is connected to the corresponding carbon film contact end wire; another pin of each optocoupler output end in the optocoupler group is matrix synthesized with the same output end pin of the optocoupler at the same position in other optocoupler groups in the same circuit according to the matrix key rules of traditional electronic keyboard instruments, and then connected to the corresponding pin of the relevant sound source chip.

[0156] Working principle of the old CC combination switch circuit:

[0157] In a two-channel or multi-channel single-chip microcomputer switching circuit, when a finger wearing a conductive glove presses a key, it is equivalent to the high and low level control lines inputting a high level or low level to the corresponding input end of the programmed single-chip microcomputer circuit through the conductive keyboard. Taking the input of a low level as an example, the matching single-chip microcomputer circuit detects the input signal and controls the corresponding output end to output a low level.

[0158] In each switch circuit, the VCC pin wire is connected to the positive input terminal of the optocoupler in each optocoupler group, and the negative input terminal of the optocoupler in each optocoupler group is connected to the corresponding output terminal of the single-chip microcomputer circuit.

[0159] A combination of two or more single-chip microcomputer circuits, when the left or right hand or each finger presses different keys at the same time, will activate the optocoupler in the optocoupler group corresponding to the key in the relevant single-chip microcomputer circuit, and further connect the connection between the carbon film contacts of different partitions and the corresponding pins of the sound source chip through the output end of the optocoupler in the optocoupler group, thereby realizing two-channel or multi-channel stereo.

[0160] By selecting a switching circuit combining a single-chip microcomputer circuit and an optocoupler group, there is no need for the DC power supply current to be in the opposite direction, and there is no need to use an optocoupler normally closed solid-state relay to avoid the formation of a current loop when two or more optocoupler groups corresponding to the same key touch the key with different high and low level control lines.

[0161] For the principles of single-chip microcomputer circuits used in electronic keyboard instruments, please refer to the description of single-chip microcomputer related contents in the working principle of the new CC combination single-chip microcomputer circuit for details.

[0251] In each switching circuit, one pin of each optocoupler output end in the optocoupler group is connected to the corresponding carbon film contact end wire; another pin of each optocoupler output end in the optocoupler group is matrix synthesized with the same output end pin of the optocoupler at the same position in other optocoupler groups in the same circuit according to the matrix key rules of traditional electronic keyboard instruments, and then connected to the corresponding pin of the relevant sound source chip.

[0252] Working principle of the basic old AB combination switch circuit:

[0253] The old AB combination switch circuit mentioned above includes an A-type switch circuit corresponding to the right channel and a B-type switch circuit corresponding to the left channel.

[0254] When a left hand wearing a conductive glove presses a piano key, the optocoupler in the optocoupler group corresponding to the left channel forms a current loop and is activated. Simultaneously, the left hand activates the optocoupler normally closed solid-state relay corresponding to the right channel switching circuit. This in turn closes the optocoupler in the optocoupler group corresponding to the right channel under the same key, via the corresponding normally closed solid-state relay in the right channel circuit.

[0255] In the A-type switching circuit, when the left hand does not touch the key, the optocoupler in the optocoupler group corresponding to the key in the right channel switching circuit is in the on state. When the right hand presses the key, the conductive rubber covers the carbon film contact, and the optocoupler in the optocoupler group corresponding to the right channel will form a current loop and be activated.

[0256] When the fingers of both hands press different keys at the same time, thanks to AQY412EH, no current loop will be formed between the left and right channel optocoupler groups corresponding to the same key, and all will be activated, thus ensuring the independence of the sound source.

[0257] In the left or right channel switching circuit, one end of each optocoupler output is connected to the carbon film contact, and the other end is connected to the corresponding pin of the sound source chip. After the relevant optocoupler group is turned on by pressing the key, the corresponding pin of the relevant sound source chip will be turned on, and two-channel stereo sound can be played.
