DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more fully below with reference to the relevant drawings. The preferred embodiments of the present invention are given in the drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the understanding of the disclosure of the present invention more thorough and comprehensive.

[0019] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be an intermediate element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time.

[0020] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs. The terms used in the specification of the present invention herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. Figure 1 to Figure 8As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a lever mechanism is involved, including a piano body cover 1, a lever assembly 2, a lever reset assembly 3 and a lever output assembly 4; the piano body cover 1 is provided with a lever mounting groove 11, a bearing 12 is provided in the lever mounting groove 11, the lever output assembly 4 is rotatably arranged on the bearing 12, the lever assembly 2 is provided with a plectrum 21, a first magnet 22 is provided on the plectrum 21, the plectrum reset assembly 3 includes a second magnet 31, a third magnet 32 ​​and a fixing member 33, the fixing member 33 is used to fix the second magnet 31 and the third magnet 32 ​​on the piano body cover 1, the first magnet 22, the second magnet 31 and the third magnet 32 ​​are arranged on the same radial line with the lever assembly 2 as the axis; the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 31 are attracted to each other so that the plectrum is kept at the position of the second magnet 31, the first magnet 22 and the third magnet 32 ​​repel each other so as to reset the first magnet 22 toward the position of the second magnet 31; the lever output assembly 4 is arranged on the lever assembly 2. In this embodiment, the lever mounting groove 11 and the built-in bearing 12 provided on the upper cover 1 of the piano body provide a stable and flexible rotating platform for the lever output assembly 4. This design not only ensures the smooth operation of the lever, but also greatly improves the durability and service life of the mechanism. The application of the bearing 12 effectively reduces friction and wear, making the lever action more precise and responsive. Secondly, the plectrum 21 and the first magnet 22 provided on the lever form an ingenious magnetic interaction system with the second magnet 31 and the third magnet 32 ​​in the lever reset assembly 3. This design makes full use of the attraction and repulsion characteristics of magnetic force to achieve the automatic reset and stable retention function of the lever. When the lever is moved by an external force, the attraction between the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 31 will keep the lever in a specific position (i.e., the position of the second magnet 31), thereby achieving stable locking of the lever state. When the external force disappears or changes direction, the repulsion between the first magnet 22 and the third magnet 32 ​​will automatically push the lever to reset, ensuring that the lever can quickly and accurately return to the initial state and prepare for the next operation. Not only can the second magnet 31 and the third magnet 32 ​​be firmly fixed on the upper cover 1 of the piano body to ensure the stability of the magnetic system, but the position and spacing of the magnets can also be adjusted according to actual needs, thereby achieving precise control of the resetting force and holding force of the lever. This design not only improves the flexibility and adaptability of the mechanism, but also provides more possibilities for the personalized needs of users. Compared with traditional spring resets, it has a longer life and better stability. The setting of the lever output assembly 4 enables the mechanism to be directly connected to other mechanical parts or electronic components to achieve signal transmission and control. This design not only broadens the application scope of the lever mechanism, but also enables it to be easily integrated into various complex mechanical equipment systems, providing strong support for the intelligent and automated control of the equipment.

[0021] The two ends of the lever mounting groove 11 are respectively provided with a first mounting step 111 and a second mounting step 112, and two bearings 12 are provided, and the two bearings 12 are respectively installed on the first mounting step 111 and the second mounting step 112, so as to be used for the rotational connection of the two ends of the lever assembly 2. In this embodiment, the precise setting of the first mounting step 111 and the second mounting step 112 provides a stable installation foundation for the two bearings 12. This structure not only enhances the stability of the lever assembly 2, but also ensures the accuracy and reliability of the lever during the rotation process. Secondly, the separate installation of the two bearings 12 effectively reduces the friction resistance of the lever during rotation. This not only makes the operation of the lever smoother, but also reduces the wear caused by friction, thereby extending the service life of the lever mechanism. In addition, this design also improves the response speed of the lever mechanism of the smart guitar. Due to the lubrication performance and rotation efficiency of the bearing 12, the lever can quickly and accurately complete the action after receiving the instruction, which is crucial to improving the fluency and expressiveness of the performance.

[0022] The lever assembly 2 includes a lever housing 23, the lever housing 23 is provided with an assembly fixing groove 231, the lever mounting groove 11 is provided with a fixing bracket 13, and the lever housing 23 is sleeved on the fixing bracket 13 through the assembly fixing groove 231.
