Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0022] like Figure 1-4As shown, this application proposes a foldable, portable, intelligent electronic guitar adaptive tuning device, capable of precise tuning of an electric guitar. The tuning device includes a tuner 6, a clamping assembly, a support frame, and an electrically operated rotating tuning mechanism 20. The clamping assembly is rotatably connected to one end of the support frame to allow folding for easy storage. The clamping assembly can clamp onto the electronic guitar, specifically onto the headstock, to support the tuner 6 and facilitate its display of pitch. The electrically operated rotating tuning mechanism 20 is reciprocatingly mounted on the support frame and clamps onto each key of the electronic guitar to calibrate each string. The electrically operated rotating tuning mechanism 20 drives each key to rotate electrically for precise calibration. The tuner 6 is mounted on the clamping assembly to display the pitch of each string of the electronic guitar; preferably, the tuner 6 is an electronic tuner. The foldable portable smart electronic guitar adaptive tuning device proposed in this application is designed with a clamping component and a support frame that are rotatably connected, making it easy to fold and store; and it can achieve precise tuning by driving the knobs to rotate electrically.

[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in some embodiments, the clamping assembly includes a support block 1, a screw 2, and at least one set of clamping blocks. Preferably, each set of clamping blocks may include two clamping blocks 3. The two clamping blocks 3 of each set are movably disposed relative to each other at the bottom of the support block 1 and are drivenly connected to a screw 2. Specifically, the screw 2 is threadedly drivenly connected to the two clamping blocks 3 of each set of clamping blocks, so as to drive the two clamping blocks 3 to move towards each other or separate from each other. The two clamping blocks 3 clamp onto the headstock of the electric guitar by moving towards each other. The two clamping blocks 3 can be removed from the headstock by separating from each other. More specifically, the clamping assembly includes three sets of clamping blocks, each set of clamping blocks is driven and controlled by a screw 2 to achieve multiple sets of combined clamping.

[0024] like Figure 1-4As shown, in some embodiments, the support frame includes a bracket 12 and a rotating frame 15; wherein, the bracket 12 is provided with a telescopic component, which is vertically connected to the bracket 12 and can extend and retract on the bracket 12 to achieve length adjustment. A support column 5 is provided at the top of the support block 1, and the tuner 6 is movably mounted on the support column 5. Specifically, one end of the telescopic component is movably connected to the support column 5 and can rotate around the support column 5, thus enabling adjustment of the tuning pegs on both sides of the headstock. One end of the bracket 12 is connected to the telescopic component, and the other end of the bracket 12 is rotatably connected to the rotating frame 15. A first locking structure is provided between the bracket 12 and the rotating frame 15, which is used to lock or unlock the bracket 12 and the rotating frame 15. More specifically, the first locking structure includes a hole block 16 and a second bolt 17. The hole block 16 is disposed on the rotating frame 15. The second bolt 17 is movably disposed on the bracket 12 and can engage with the hole block 16 to restrict the relative rotation of the bracket 12 and the rotating frame 15. When the second bolt 17 is separated from the hole block 16, the bracket 12 and the rotating frame 15 can be folded relative to each other.

[0025] like Figure 1-2 As shown, in some embodiments, the telescopic assembly includes a sleeve 9, a movable rod 11, and a protruding plate 13. The movable rod 11 is vertically connected to the bracket 12; one end of the movable rod 11 is fixedly connected to the bracket 12, and the movable rod 11 is telescopically disposed within the sleeve 9. A rotating ring 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the sleeve 9, and the other end of the sleeve 9 is rotatably connected to the support column 5 via the rotating ring 7. The rotating ring 7 is sleeved on the support column 5 and can rotate around the support column 5; a fastener 8 is provided on the rotating ring 7, which can fix the rotating ring 7 to the support column 5, achieving locking. The protruding plate 13 is fixedly disposed on the bracket 12 and is parallel to the sleeve 9; a second locking structure is provided between the protruding plate 13 and the sleeve 9, which is used to lock or unlock the protruding plate 13 and the sleeve 9, achieving length adjustment and positioning. Specifically, the second locking structure includes a first bolt 14 and threaded holes 10. Multiple threaded holes 10 are equidistantly arranged on the sleeve 9 along the telescopic direction of the sleeve 9. The first bolt 14 is mounted on the convex plate 13 and can pass through the convex plate 13 to connect with each threaded hole 10, thereby restricting the telescopic movement between the convex plate 13 and the sleeve 9 and achieving effective positioning. The aforementioned telescopic assembly facilitates adjustment and positioning, and its structural design is compact and reasonable.

[0026] like Figure 2-7As shown, in some embodiments, the electric rotary tuning mechanism 20 includes a slider 2001, a rotating plate 2015, and a pressing member. The slider 2001 is reciprocally mounted on the slide rail 18 of the rotating frame 15, accommodating adjustments to various knobs. The rotating plate 2015 is telescopically mounted on the slider 2001 and connected to the pressing member. Multiple rows of locking rods 2019 are provided on the outer surface of the rotating plate 2015, and these locking rods are telescopically mounted on the rotating plate 2015. Standard rods 2016 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the outer surface of the rotating plate 2015, with the length of the standard rods 2016 exceeding the length of the locking rods 2019. The pressing member is telescopically mounted on the slider 2001 via an elastic element. Specifically, the rotating plate 2015 has a third groove 2017, and a fourth spring 2018 is fixed within the third groove 2017. One end of the locking rod 2019 is connected to one end of the fourth spring 2018 to achieve the telescopic function. The pressing element is telescopically mounted on the slider 2001, and it drives the rotating plate 2015 to move part of the locking rod 2019 to the center position of the key, while another part of the locking rod 2019 engages with the outside of the key, thus enabling the key to rotate. Specifically, multiple rows of locking rods 2019 are arranged in a rectangular array on the rotating plate 2015. Since the length of the marker rod 2016 is longer than that of the locking rod 2019, the ends of the marker rod 2016 will be located on both sides of the key. By observing that the marker rods 2016 on both sides are located on the central axis of the key, it can be determined whether the rotating plate is aligned with the central axis of the corresponding key.

[0027] like Figure 3-7 As shown, in some embodiments, the rotating frame 15 has a slide rail 18, and limit rods 21 are respectively provided on both sides of the slide rail 18. The slider 2001 is disposed on the limit rod 21 and can reciprocate on the limit rod 21. The limit rod 21 passes through the slider 2001 and plays a supporting and limiting role. Further, a third locking structure is provided between the slider 2001 and the inner wall of the slide rail 18. The third locking structure is used to lock or unlock the slider 2001 and the rotating frame 15; a fourth locking structure is provided between the pressing member and the slider 2001. The fourth locking structure is used to lock or unlock the slider 2001 and the pressing member. The third locking structure is also connected to the fourth locking structure to achieve linkage. Specifically, the linkage includes: when the fourth locking structure is unlocked, it can simultaneously drive the third locking structure to unlock; when the fourth locking structure is in the locked state, the third locking structure is also in the locked state.

[0028] like Figure 2 , 5As shown in Figure 7, in some embodiments, the third locking structure includes a locking tooth 19 and a toothed plate 2009. The locking tooth 19 is disposed on the inner walls of both sides of the slide rail 18. A movable frame 2007 is provided on the slider 2001, and the movable frame 2007 is movably disposed within the slider 2001 via a second spring 2006. First grooves 2005 are symmetrically formed on both sides of the slider 2001, and a second spring 2006 is fixed within each first groove 2005. The movable frame 2007 is fixed to the outer end of the second spring 2006, and the movable frame 2007 is slidably connected within the first grooves 2005. The toothed plate 2009 is disposed on the movable frame 2007 and is telescopically disposed within the first grooves 2005 on both sides of the slider 2001 along with the movable frame 2007. The toothed plate 2009 can engage or disengage with the locking tooth 19 by telescopic movement to achieve locking or unlocking. Specifically, the toothed plate 2009 is disposed at one end of the movable frame 2007, and the other end of the movable frame 2007 is disposed on the outside of the slider 2001 and connected to the pressing block 2008. With the above structure, the movable frame 2007 can be squeezed by pressing the pressing block 2008, so that the toothed plate 2009 is separated from the locking teeth 19, thereby unlocking; in the natural state, the movable frame 2007 is subjected to the force of the second spring 2006, which enables the toothed plate 2009 to engage with the locking teeth 19.

[0029] like Figure 6-7 As shown, in some embodiments, the fourth locking structure includes a locking block 2013 and a locking groove 2004. The locking block 2013 is movably mounted on the slider 2001 via a third spring 2012. Specifically, the slider 2001 has symmetrically arranged second grooves 2011 on its two inner walls. The third spring 2012 is disposed within the second groove 2011, and the locking block 2013 is fixed to the inner end of the third spring 2012 to allow for telescopic movement. The locking grooves 2004 are respectively disposed at a first position and a second position on both sides of the pressing member to correspond to the two telescopic positions of the pressing member, namely the position of the clamping knob and the disengaged position. Furthermore, the locking block 2013 is also connected to the movable frame 2007 via the pull rope 2010; more specifically, when the movable frame 2007 is squeezed and the toothed plate 2009 is separated from the locking tooth 19, the movable frame 2007 simultaneously pulls the locking block 2013 and the locking slot 2004 via the pull rope 2010, achieving synchronous unlocking, thereby enabling the simultaneous adjustment of the positions of the slider 2001 and the pressing element.

[0030] Using the above scheme, the rotating plate 2015 can be positioned by adjusting the slider 2001, making it convenient to rotate and adjust any of the piano buttons. Each time the unlocking slider 2001 is pressed, the locking block 2013 moves and leaves the locking slot 2004 under the pulling action of the pull rope 2010, and the pressing rod 2003 automatically pops open and resets, realizing linkage unlocking.

[0031] like Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the pressing element is a pressing rod 2003. The elastic element is a first spring 2002. The first spring 2002 is sleeved on one end of the pressing rod 2003 and connected to one side of the slider 2001, so that it can open the pressing rod 2003 in its natural state, causing the pressing rod 2003 to retract. At this time, the rotating plate 2015 is in a non-working state, and the locking lever 2019 is separated from the button. The other end of the pressing rod 2003 is connected to the drive mechanism; the rotating plate 2015 is disposed on the drive mechanism and is connected to the transmission of the drive mechanism. Specifically, the drive mechanism includes a motor 2014, which is disposed in the housing. The other end of the pressing rod 2003 is fixedly connected to the housing; the transmission component of the motor 2014 extends out of the housing and is connected to the rotating plate 2015 to realize transmission, that is, to drive the rotating plate 2015 to rotate.

[0032] like Figure 1-7 As shown, this application proposes a foldable, portable, intelligent electronic guitar adaptive tuning device, the specific operating principle and process of which are as follows: In use, first open the bracket 12, then place the support block 1 in the middle of the top of the electric guitar headstock. Next, manually rotate the screw 2. The clamping block 3 slides under the limiting action of the screw 2 and the slide groove 4. The two clamping blocks 3 move closer to each other, thereby clamping and fixing the support block 1 to the top of the headstock. Then press the bracket 12 and the movable rod 11. The movable rod 11 retracts into the sleeve 9, so that the locking rod 2019 is close to the guitar knob on the headstock. Screw the first bolt 14 into the corresponding threaded hole, thereby locking the convex plate 13 on the sleeve 9 and restricting the relative movement of the sleeve 9 and the movable rod 11. Then, pinch the pressing blocks 2008 on both sides of the slider 2001. The pressing blocks 2008 move, causing the movable frame 2007 and the toothed plate 2009 to move together, so that the toothed plate 2009 disengages from the locking teeth 19, and the slider 2001 is unlocked. Next, manually slide the slider 2001 and align the rotating plate 2015 with the corresponding piano button. After releasing the two pressing blocks 2008, the pressing blocks 2008, the movable frame 2007 and the toothed plate 2009 automatically pop open, and the toothed plate 2009 engages with the corresponding locking teeth 2009, and the slider 2001 is locked. Manually press the pressing lever 2003 again, causing the locking block 2013 to automatically engage with the corresponding slot 2004 and lock the pressing lever 2003. The rotating plate 2015 moves together with the pressing lever 2003. Part of the locking lever 2019 rests against the middle position of the piano button, while the other part of the locking lever 2019 protrudes and is limited to the outside of the piano button. When the rotating plate 2015 rotates under the action of the motor 2014, it can drive the piano button to rotate, realizing electric rotary tuning. When the strings are plucked, the tuner automatically displays the pitch. The rotating plate 2015 is driven to rotate by the motor 2014 to realize automatic tuning until the pitch is accurate. If it is necessary to adjust the piano button on the other side of the headstock, manually rotate the support frame 180°, so that the support frame rotates 180° around the support column 5 via the rotating ring 7, and then repeat the above operation. After tuning, remove the tuning device from the headstock, loosen the second bolt 17 and move it away from the hole block 16 to unlock the rotating frame 15. Then rotate the rotating frame 15 to make it parallel to the support block 1 for easy folding and storage.
