Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vocal training bottle technology, specifically to a breath training bottle for vocal music teaching with a variable tube diameter. Background Technology

[0002] The core of vocal performance relies on stable, sustained, and controllable breath support. Proper breath training is a crucial step in vocal learning, voice rehabilitation, and performance improvement. Currently, vocal training bottles, based on the principle of fluid resistance training, can guide practitioners to relax their throat muscles and strengthen their diaphragmatic breathing control. They are easy to use and have significant training effects, and are widely used in professional vocal teaching, amateur singing practice, and vocal cord rehabilitation training.

[0003] Currently, most commercially available vocal training bottles use a fixed, integrated airway with a single, non-adjustable diameter, which significantly limits their usability. Different trainees have varying physiological conditions and training needs. Children and beginners have smaller lung capacities and require smaller diameter airways to reduce airflow resistance and avoid excessive respiratory burden. Professional singers and adult trainees need larger diameter airways to match high-intensity breath output, meeting the requirements for breath power and endurance training. Fixed diameter designs cannot accommodate users of different ages, skill levels, and lung capacities, easily leading to poor training compatibility. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a breath training bottle for vocal music teaching with a variable pipe diameter. By combining a threaded pipe diameter adjustment end with a frustum-shaped adjustment plug, the depth of the plug entering the air tube can be flexibly adjusted, achieving continuous adjustment of the air outlet pipe diameter. This solves the core defect of poor adaptability of traditional fixed-diameter vocal training bottles, covering the needs of multiple scenarios such as vocal music teaching, amateur practice, and vocal cord rehabilitation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a breath training bottle for vocal music teaching with variable pipe diameter, comprising a water storage bottle body, a support leg fixed to the lower side of one side of the water storage bottle body, a bottle body tube connected to the upper side of one side of the water storage bottle body, a bottle cap attached to the upper end of the bottle body tube, a fixed tube seat installed on one side of the upper end of the bottle cap, an air blowing tube installed inside the fixed tube seat, and a pipe diameter adjustment component installed at the lower end of the air blowing tube; The pipe diameter adjustment component includes a pipe diameter adjustment end head threadedly installed at the lower end of the air blowing pipe, a connecting arm symmetrically fixed at the bottom end of the pipe diameter adjustment end head, a horizontal plate fixed together at the lower ends of the two water storage bottles, a rotating rod rotatably installed in the middle of the horizontal plate, a key adjustment plug installed at the upper end of the outer wall of the rotating rod, and a rotating disk installed at the lower end of the outer wall of the rotating rod. The key adjusting plug is frustum shaped, and blades are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the key adjusting plug; The inside of the cross plate is also equipped with a damping component that works in conjunction with the key adjusting plug.

[0006] Preferably, the other side of the upper end of the bottle cap is connected to an exhaust pipe, and an air nozzle is inserted into the upper end of the air blowing pipe. The air nozzle is funnel-shaped.

[0007] Preferably, the combination of the water storage bottle and the air blowing tube is in the shape of a musical note, and both the water storage bottle and the air blowing tube are made of transparent materials.

[0008] Preferably, the lower end of the horizontal plate is covered with a cover plate, and the rotating disk is located inside the horizontal plate.

[0009] Preferably, the damping component includes a fixed cover installed inside the horizontal plate and located on one side of the rotating disk. A pressure rod is slidably installed on one end of the inner side of the fixed cover. A pressure plate is fixed to one end of the pressure rod, and a guide rod is fixed to the other end of the pressure rod. A pressure adjusting plate is slidably installed on one side of the outer wall of the guide rod, and a spring is sleeved on the other side of the outer wall of the guide rod. Sliding rods are rotatably installed on both sides of the pressure adjusting plate. A damping linkage component is provided on one side of the damping component.

[0010] Preferably, the damping linkage component includes a pressure transmission plate slidably disposed on the inner side of the connecting arm, a sliding groove is provided at the lower end of the pressure transmission plate corresponding to the pressure adjustment plate, guide grooves are provided on both sides of the sliding groove corresponding to the sliding rod, and an opening groove is provided on the inner side of the pipe diameter adjustment end corresponding to the pressure transmission plate, the opening groove extending into the interior of the horizontal plate.

[0011] Preferably, the guide groove is divided into three sections: the lower section is vertically arranged, and the middle and upper sections are inclined, with the inclination angle of the upper section being greater than that of the middle section.

[0012] Preferably, a blocking block is slidably disposed on the upper inner side of the pressure transmission plate, and a sliding groove is provided on the inner side of the pressure transmission plate corresponding to the blocking block. A spring is fixedly connected to the rear end of the blocking block, and the spring is fixedly connected to the pressure transmission plate. An inclined surface is provided at the other end of the blocking block, and the upper surface of the blocking block is flush with the upper surface of the key adjustment plug. The blocking block protrudes outward and corresponds to the position of the air blowing pipe wall.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a breath training bottle for vocal music teaching with variable pipe diameter, which has the following beneficial effects: by cooperating with the threaded pipe diameter adjustment end and the frustum-shaped adjustment plug, the depth of the plug entering the blowing tube can be flexibly adjusted, so as to realize the continuous adjustment of the outlet pipe diameter. This solves the core defect of poor training adaptability of traditional fixed pipe diameter vocal training bottles, and covers the needs of multiple scenarios such as vocal music teaching, amateur practice, and vocal cord rehabilitation.

[0014] The key adjustment mechanism features blades evenly distributed on the outer wall of the plug. When the practitioner exhales, the airflow causes the water to flow, which in turn drives the blades to rotate synchronously with the plug. This transforms the abstract concepts of breath flow rate, stability, and duration into intuitive visual feedback of blade rotation. This allows practitioners to adjust their breathing patterns in real time and enables instructors to quickly and accurately guide students, significantly lowering the barrier to entry for breath control instruction and improving training effectiveness.

[0015] The design incorporates damping components and a damping linkage mechanism to achieve synchronous adjustment of pipe diameter and damping force: when the pipe diameter decreases, the water flow rate increases simultaneously, increasing the damping of the rotating disk to prevent the blades from rotating too fast and becoming unobservable; a three-section variable-angle guide groove design slows down the damping increase in the later stages of pipe diameter adjustment, preventing excessive damping that would cause the blade speed to be too slow. Throughout the process, the blade speed is controlled within a clearly discernible and reasonable range, completely resolving the problems of sudden changes in water flow velocity and distorted air feedback caused by pipe diameter changes, ensuring the accuracy of air status judgment under different pipe diameters.

[0016] The adjustable tube diameter allows for precise matching of training resistance, fundamentally preventing problems such as laryngeal muscle tension and incorrect breathing patterns caused by excessive resistance in beginners, and guiding trainees to develop standardized breathing habits. At the same time, the adjustable resistance feature can meet the needs of light training for beginners with no experience, as well as the high-intensity breath control training of professional singers. It can also be applied to medical auxiliary scenarios such as post-vocal cord surgery rehabilitation, greatly expanding the product's scope of application. Attached Figure Description

[0018] In this invention, unless otherwise stated, the directional terms such as "up" and "down" generally refer to the directions shown in the accompanying drawings, or to the vertical, perpendicular, or gravitational direction; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "left" and "right" generally refer to the left and right shown in the accompanying drawings; "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself, but the above directional terms are not intended to limit this invention.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-9 This invention provides a technical solution for a breath training bottle for vocal music teaching with a variable diameter: Example 1: A breath training bottle for vocal music teaching with variable diameter includes a water storage bottle body 1. A support leg 12 is fixed to the lower side of one side of the water storage bottle body 1. A bottle body tube 11 is connected to the upper side of one side of the water storage bottle body 1. A bottle cap 13 is attached to the upper end of the bottle body tube 11. A fixing tube seat 14 is installed on one side of the upper end of the bottle cap 13. An air blowing tube 16 is installed inside the fixing tube seat 14. A tube diameter adjustment component is installed at the lower end of the air blowing tube 16. The tube diameter adjustment component includes a tube diameter adjustment end head 2 threadedly installed at the lower end of the air blowing tube 16. Connecting arms 21 are symmetrically fixed to the bottom end of the tube diameter adjustment end head 2. The lower ends of the two water storage bottles 1 are jointly fixed. A horizontal plate 22 is fixed, and a rotating rod 23 is rotatably installed in the middle of the horizontal plate 22. A key adjustment plug 24 is installed on the upper end of the outer wall of the rotating rod 23, and a rotating disk 26 is installed on the lower end of the outer wall of the rotating rod 23. The key adjustment plug 24 is frustum-shaped, and blades 25 are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the key adjustment plug 24. By adjusting the depth of the pipe diameter adjustment end 2 and the air blowing pipe 16, the depth of the key adjustment plug 24 entering the lower end of the air blowing pipe 16 can be changed, thereby adjusting the diameter of the air outlet pipe to meet the vocal training needs of different training groups and training stages. The inside of the horizontal plate 22 is also equipped with a damping component that works with the key adjustment plug 24.

[0020] The upper end of the bottle cap 13 is connected to the exhaust pipe 15 on the other side. The upper end of the air blowing pipe 16 is connected to the air nozzle 17, which is funnel-shaped (it should be noted that the air nozzle 17 is a replaceable design, and the shape of the air nozzle 17 is not a specific limitation and can be replaced according to the needs of use). The combination of the water storage bottle 1 and the air blowing pipe 16 is in the shape of a musical note. Both the water storage bottle 1 and the air blowing pipe 16 are made of transparent material, and the overall shape is more musical, which more vividly shows its characteristics in vocal music teaching. The transparent material makes it easier to observe the inside. The lower end of the horizontal plate 22 is covered with a cover plate 221, and the rotating disk 26 is located inside the horizontal plate 22.

[0021] In embodiment two, the damping component includes a fixed cover 3 installed inside the horizontal plate 22 and located on one side of the rotating disk 26. A pressure rod 33 is slidably installed on one end of the inner side of the fixed cover 3. A pressure plate 34 is fixed to one end of the pressure rod 33, and a guide rod 35 is fixed to the other end of the pressure rod 33. A pressure adjusting plate 31 is slidably installed on one side of the outer wall of the guide rod 35, and a spring 36 is sleeved on the other side of the outer wall of the guide rod 35. Sliding rods 32 are rotatably installed on both sides of the pressure adjusting plate 31. A damping linkage component is provided on one side of the damping component. The fixed cover 3 is used to fix and guide the pressure adjusting plate 31, the pressure rod 33, and the guide rod 35. In the initial state of installation, the sliding rod 32 corresponds to the lower section of the guide groove 42. Since the pressure transmission plate 4 is relatively light, the resulting gravitational pressure can be basically ignored. At this time, the guide rod 35 is basically in the initial state. The cover plate 221 and the fixed cover 3 are both fixed by screws, which is a common method in the art and will not be described in detail in this application. The damping linkage component includes a pressure transmission plate 4 slidably disposed inside the connecting arm 21. A sliding groove 41 is provided at the lower end of the pressure transmission plate 4 and corresponding to the pressure adjustment plate 31. Guide grooves 42 are provided on both sides of the sliding groove 41 and corresponding to the sliding rod 32. An opening groove 43 is provided on the inner side of the pipe diameter adjustment end 2 and corresponding to the pressure transmission plate 4. The opening groove 43 extends into the interior of the horizontal plate 22.

[0022] In Example 3, the guide groove 42 is divided into three sections: the lower section is vertical, and the middle and upper sections are inclined. The inclination angle of the upper section is greater than that of the middle section. The lower section is vertical and its dimensions are similar to those of the sliding rod 32. This is to allow for docking with the sliding rod 32 when installing the damping component. The inclined design of the middle section is to allow for relatively rapid sliding of the sliding rod 32 and the pressure regulating plate 31 when adjusting the airflow pipe diameter, and to relatively quickly compress the spring 36. This results in a rapid increase in the contact pressure between the pressure plate 34 and the rotating disk 26, which counteracts the excessively fast water flow speed caused by changes in pipe diameter. This would cause the key regulating plug 24 and the blade 25 to rotate too fast, affecting the visual feedback of the flow velocity from the key regulating plug 24 and the blade 25. The inclined design of the upper section is to prevent excessive compression of the spring 36 in the later stages of pipe diameter adjustment, which would cause excessive pressure on the pressure plate 34 and the rotating rod 23, resulting in excessively slow rotation of the key regulating plug 24 and the blade 25 and affecting the judgment of the airflow velocity. A blocking block 5 is slidably disposed on the upper inner side of the pressure transmission plate 4. A sliding groove 51 is formed on the inner side of the pressure transmission plate 4 corresponding to the blocking block 5. A spring 52 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the blocking block 5 and is fixedly connected to the pressure transmission plate 4. An inclined surface 53 is formed at the other end of the blocking block 5. The upper surface of the blocking block 5 is flush with the upper surface of the key adjusting plug 24. The blocking block 5 protrudes outward and corresponds to the position of the air blowing pipe 16. The setting of the blocking block 5 and the inclined surface 53 can... During the downward rotation of the air pipe 16, the change in the diameter of the air outlet is transmitted by pushing the blocking block 5, thereby achieving synchronous adjustment of the rotational damping force of the key adjusting plug 24. When it is necessary to remove the pressure transmission plate 4, the inclined surface 53 can be squeezed at the edge of the horizontal plate 22 through the opening groove 43, and the blocking block 5 is compressed into the sliding groove 2 51 to disassemble the pressure transmission plate 4. Similarly, pressing the blocking block 5 into the sliding groove 2 51 completes the installation of the pressure transmission plate 4.

[0023] In practical use, this invention serves as a breath training bottle for vocal music teaching with a variable pipe diameter. When in use, an appropriate amount of water is filled into the water storage bottle 1, with the water level higher than the pipe diameter adjustment end 2. The trainee can blow air through the mouthpiece 17. The water pressure provides resistance for blowing, achieving the purpose of breath training. The gas is blown out through the air tube 16 and discharged to the outside through the exhaust pipe 15. The gas is then discharged to the outside through the pipe diameter adjustment end 2. The flow of gas also drives the internal water flow. The water flow further causes the blade 25 and the key adjustment plug 24 to rotate. The trainee's breath state can be judged by the rotation of the blade 25. According to the needs of Qi training, the depth of the key adjustment plug 24 entering the lower end of the air blowing pipe 16 can be adjusted by rotating the pipe diameter adjustment end 2, thereby adjusting the diameter of the air outlet pipe. The diameter of the air outlet pipe is adjustable, which can meet the Qi training needs of different practitioners and has a wider range of adaptability. While the pipe diameter is being adjusted, the air blowing pipe 16 moves down along the inner wall of the pipe diameter adjustment end 2. The lower end of the air blowing pipe 16 will generate a thrust on the upper part of the blocking block 5 and push the pressure transmission plate 4 downward. As the pressure transmission plate 4 moves downward, the sliding rod 32 enters the middle section of the guide groove 42 and slides along the middle section of the guide groove 42. As the sliding rod 32 slides, it will also drive the pressure adjustment plate 31 to move relative to the guide rod 35 and squeeze the spring 36 to increase the contact pressure between the pressure plate 34 and the rotating disk 26. This is to prevent the key adjustment plug 24 and the blade 25 from rotating too fast due to the reduced pipe diameter of the air outlet and the excessive water flow, which would affect the judgment of the practitioner's breath flow rate. As the rotation depth of the pipe diameter adjustment end 2 changes further, when rotating to the later stage, the diameter of the air outlet will become smaller and the water flow velocity will increase further. At this time, the inclination angle of the upper section of the guide groove 42 is larger. Under the same downward movement distance as the middle section, the pushing displacement of the pressure adjustment plate 31 will be greatly reduced. When adjusting the air outlet pipe diameter in the later stage, the compression pressure on the spring 36 can be reduced to avoid complete linear compression, which would cause the pressure plate 34 to have excessive contact pressure with the rotating disk 26, affecting the rotation speed of the key adjustment plug 24 and the blade 25, and thus affecting the judgment of the practitioner's breath flow rate.

[0024] The above are merely specific embodiments of the present invention, but the technical features of the present invention are not limited thereto. Any simple changes, equivalent substitutions, or modifications made based on the present invention to solve essentially the same technical problems and achieve essentially the same technical effects are all covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
