Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of piano parts, in particular to a grand piano iron plate positioning device and an assembly method. Background Art
[0002] Piano iron plate can also be called piano iron bracket or piano iron bar. It is a cast iron part used for hidden hook of piano strings, that is, the iron plate of the resonance plate in piano parts. It is one of the main components of the sound source system and one of the important components that directly affects the quality of the piano. The piano iron plate needs to withstand at least 16 tons of tension from the strings. The total tension of the strings of the grand piano (the largest nine-foot piano) can reach more than 26 tons.
[0003] The piano pinblock is an important part of the support structure, with a thickness of 35mm-45mm. Its shape is similar to that of the iron plate of the string pin, because it is fixed on the back of the iron plate to fix the string pin and bears all the tension from the strings. It keeps the sound of the piano in a very stable state and ensures the basic performance of the piano's stable pitch.
[0004] The piano back frame can also be called the piano back frame. The back frame bears a large amount of weight generated by the tension of the strings, which is approximately between 170,000 N and 180,000 N. Before the use of iron plates in the past, the back frame was mainly used to support the tension from the strings.
[0005] After the grand piano's iron plate, pegboard and back frame are processed, the operator is required to accurately align them with each other. However, the accuracy of the alignment depends on the operator's experience and the accuracy of the dimensional measurement. Even for experienced operators, inaccurate alignment is still prone to occur during the assembly process, resulting in a lot of manpower and time required for the assembly. Inaccurate alignment will affect the assembly of the piano's keyboard action system, and the diameter will affect the quality of the piano.
