Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of guzheng, in particular to a guzheng with reciprocating strings. Background Art

[0002] Guzheng, a plucked string instrument, also known as Han Zheng and Qin Zheng, is an ancient folk instrument of the Han nationality, popular throughout China. After thousands of years of development, four major schools have been formed: Hakka Zheng, Chaozhou Zheng, Shandong Zheng, and Henan Zheng. It is often used for solo, duet, instrumental ensemble, and accompaniment of songs and dances, operas, and folk art. Because of its wide range, beautiful timbre, rich playing skills, and strong expressiveness, it is called the "King of Music" and also known as the "Oriental Piano". It is one of China's unique and important folk instruments.

[0003] The length of a standard guzheng is about 1.63 meters. In addition, there are many other shapes of guzhengs, the most common ones are 1 meter, 1.25 meters, and 1.35 meters. As for the size difference of the guzheng, there is also a big difference in their sound quality. The sound quality of the small guzheng is obviously lower than that of the large guzheng. However, since the standard length of the large guzheng is 1.63 meters, its portability is poor, so for the small guzheng, it still has a larger audience because of its convenience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide a guzheng with reciprocating strings to solve the problem of poor sound quality of small guzheng.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model adopts the following technical means:

[0006] A guzheng with reciprocating strings comprises a sound box, one end of the sound box being used as a guzheng head and the other end being used as a guzheng tail, a string hole being provided at the guzheng tail of the sound box, strings being provided on the top surface of the sound box, one end of the strings being connected to an adjusting portion of the guzheng head, the other end of the strings passing through the string hole and extending into the sound box toward the guzheng head, and a wooden positioning mechanism being provided on the floor of the sound box for fixing the strings.

[0007] Preferably, the inner wall of the string hole is provided with a copper ring piece around its axis, and the bent portion of the string abuts against the copper ring piece.

[0008] Furthermore, the contact portion between the copper ring piece and the string is configured as an arc-shaped structure.

[0009] Furthermore, a portion of each string located outside the sound box and a portion of each string located inside the sound box are parallel to and opposite to each other.

[0010] Furthermore, the positioning mechanism is a fixing rod installed on the inner bottom surface of the sound box, and one end of the string away from the adjusting part is connected to the end of the fixing rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the fixing rod is a wooden structure.

[0012] During use, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] For the traditional small guzheng, since its sound box is short, its strings are short, which causes the vibration of the strings to be small, and is not conducive to the resonance of the sound box. However, even if the present application selects a short-length sound box, the length of the strings is guaranteed to be the same as that of the large guzheng, and the part of the strings that exceeds the sound box passes through the string hole at the end of the guzheng, and the part of the strings that extends into the sound box extends toward the direction of the guzheng head, and is finally fixed on the wooden positioning mechanism. In this way, although the length of the string part played is reduced, the length of the string that vibrates after playing is the same as that of the large guzheng, so that the small guzheng can also have the vibration effect of the long strings, and the vibration effect of the long strings is used to resonate with the short sound box, thereby effectively improving the sound quality of the small guzheng.

[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0019] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features thereof may be combined with each other.

[0021] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.

[0022] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inside", "outside", etc. indicate positions or positional relationships based on the positions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or the positions or positional relationships in which the utility model product is usually placed when in use, or the positions or positional relationships commonly understood by those skilled in the art, which are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present utility model. In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0023] In the description of the present invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a guzheng with reciprocating strings comprises a sound box 1, one end of the sound box 1 serving as a guzheng head 2, and the other end serving as a guzheng tail 3, the guzheng tail 3 of the sound box 1 being provided with a string hole 4, a string 5 being provided on the top surface of the sound box 1, one end of the string 5 being connected to the adjusting portion of the guzheng head 2, the other end of the string 5 passing through the string hole 4 and extending into the sound box 1 towards the guzheng head 2, a wooden positioning mechanism 6 being provided on the floor inside the sound box 1 for fixing the string 5.

[0025] Thus, for the traditional small guzheng, since its sound box 1 is short, its strings 5 ​​are short, which results in a small vibration of the strings 5, and is not conducive to the resonance of the sound box 1. However, even if the present application selects a short-length sound box 1, the length of the strings 5 ​​is ensured to be the same as that of the strings 5 ​​of the large guzheng, and the part of the strings 5 ​​that exceeds the sound box 1 passes through the string hole 4 of the guzheng tail 3, and the part of the strings 5 ​​that extends into the sound box 1 extends toward the guzheng head 2, and is finally fixed on the wooden positioning mechanism 6. Thus, although the length of the part of the strings 5 ​​that are played is reduced, the length of the strings 5 ​​that vibrate after playing is the same as that of the large guzheng, so that the small guzheng can also have the vibration effect of the long strings 5, and the vibration effect of the long strings 5 ​​is used to resonate with the short sound box 1, thereby effectively improving the sound quality of the small guzheng.

[0026] Furthermore, in order to avoid the overall sound quality being greatly affected when the lengthened string 5 passes through the string hole 4.

[0027] The inner wall of the string hole is provided with a copper ring piece 7 around its axis, and the bent portion of the string 5 abuts against the copper ring piece 7 .

[0028] In this way, the copper ring piece 7 is in contact with the string 5, and even when the vibration generated by the string 5 is transmitted to the copper ring piece 7, the vibration generated by the copper ring piece 7 can also be well transmitted to the sound box 1, thereby participating in the resonance sound generation of the sound box 1. Therefore, the copper ring piece 7 is used to reduce the influence on the sound quality caused by the bending of the string 5 after the string 5 is lengthened.

[0029] More optimally, the contact portion between the copper ring piece 7 and the string 5 is configured as an arc structure.

[0030] Furthermore, in order to optimize the layout of the strings 5 ​​and avoid serious mutual interference among the large number of strings 5 ​​extending into the sound box 1, the portion of each string 5 located outside the sound box 1 and the portion located inside the sound box 1 are arranged parallel to and opposite to each other.

[0031] That is to say, for a string 5 , the portion outside the sound box 1 is arranged directly above the portion inside the sound box 1 .

[0032] Furthermore, the positioning mechanism 6 is a fixing rod installed on the inner bottom surface of the sound box 1, and one end of the string 5 away from the adjusting portion is connected to the end of the fixing rod.

[0033] Furthermore, the fixing rod is a wooden structure.

[0034] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
