Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a new flute, in particular to a new flute with a trill key assembly. Background Art

[0002] The new flute, also known as the eleven-hole flute, is a flute designed according to the principle of equal temperament, and was first invented by Ding Xilin in the 1930s AD. Compared with the traditional six-hole flute, the new flute adds five additional finger holes to solve the disadvantage that the traditional six-hole flute is not easy to control semitones.

[0003] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a three-dimensional schematic diagram showing the new flute in the prior art. As Figure 1 shown, the new flute PA100 in the prior art includes a new flute body PA1 and a head joint stopper (not shown in the figure). The new flute body PA1 is respectively provided with a first end opening PAH1 and a second end opening PAH2 at both ends, and the second end opening PAH2 communicates with the first end opening PAH1 through a blowing space (not shown in the figure).

[0004] The new flute body PA1 is respectively provided with a blowing sound hole PABH adjacent to the first end opening PAH1 and a plurality of finger holes adjacent to the second end opening PAH2 on the outer peripheral wall (generally speaking, the new flute PA100 is provided with eleven finger holes, and only one finger hole PAPH is marked in Figure 1 ). The blowing sound hole PABH and the finger holes are all communicated with the blowing space. Specifically, the pitch range of the new flute in the prior art is from d1 to b2, that is to say, when all eleven finger holes are fully covered, the sound of d1 can be emitted. In the prior art, the head joint stopper is a cork stopper, which is arranged in the blowing space adjacent to the first end opening PAH1 to close the first end opening PAH1.

[0005] In order to increase the expressiveness of the music, the trill element is often added to the tune. The performer can produce a trill by quickly repeating the performance of two adjacent notes (generally speaking, with a difference of half a pitch to one pitch). In flute instruments, most trills are achieved by opening from the fundamental note to the next higher pitch. Specifically, the pitch change of the G trill is G - A, and the fingers first press and then release the finger holes. That is to say, the G note corresponds to the fingers pressing the finger holes, and the A note corresponds to the fingers moving away from the finger holes. And so on for the D trill (D - E), #F trill (#F - G), A trill (A - B) and B trill (B - #C).

[0006] However, due to the fingering relationship of the C trill (C-D), when playing the C note, the fingers are far away from the fingering holes, and when playing the D note, the fingers press on the fingering holes. In other words, the fingers need to first move away from the fingering holes and then press on the fingering holes, so there is a common problem of inconsistent trill effects. In addition, in the new flute in the prior art, when all the sound holes are fully opened, the highest note that can be played is only #C. That is to say, the #D note is missing and the C# trill (#C-#D) cannot be played. Summary of the Utility Model

[0007] In view of the common problem of inconsistent trill effects when playing the C trill on the new flute in the prior art. In addition, there is also the problem that the #C trill cannot be played. For this reason, the main purpose of the present utility model is to provide a new flute 100 with a trill key assembly. First, a trill key fingering hole is opened on the new flute body, and then by repeatedly pressing and releasing the trill operation key, the key cover repeatedly moves away from and covers the trill key fingering hole to play the C trill or the #C trill, so as to solve the above problems. On this basis, the necessary technical means adopted by the present utility model to solve the problems of the prior art is to provide a new flute (hereinafter referred to as "new flute") with a trill key assembly, which includes a new flute body, two fixed seats and a trill key assembly.

[0008] The new flute body is provided with a blowing sound hole, at least one trill key fingering hole and a plurality of fingering holes on the outer peripheral wall, and the trill key fingering hole is closer to the blowing sound hole than the fingering holes.

[0009] The two fixed seats are respectively fixed on the outer peripheral wall of the new flute body. The trill key assembly includes a key shaft, at least one trill operation key and at least one key cover. The key shaft is pivotally connected to the two fixed seats at both ends. The trill operation key is fixed on the key shaft. The key cover is fixed on the key shaft corresponding to the trill key fingering hole. When a player presses the trill operation key, the key cover moves away from the trill key fingering hole in a linked manner; when the player releases the trill operation key, the key cover covers the trill key fingering hole in a linked manner. Thus, when continuously pressing and releasing the trill operation key alternately, a trill is played.

[0010] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, the new flute body is provided with ten fingering holes on the outer peripheral wall.

[0011] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, the new flute body is provided with a plurality of auxiliary sound holes on the outer peripheral wall.

[0012] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, the new flute body includes: a flute body tube, which is provided with the plurality of fingering holes on the outer peripheral wall; and a flute head tube, which is assembled and fixed to the flute body tube and is provided with the blowing sound hole on the outer peripheral wall.

[0013] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, the mouthpiece tube includes a body portion, a lip pad portion, and a connecting portion. The lip pad portion protrudes integrally from the body portion and is provided with the playing sound holes. The connecting portion extends from the body portion adjacent to the body tube for inserting into the body tube, thereby assembling and fixing the mouthpiece tube to the body tube.

[0014] Based on the above necessary technical means, the following subsidiary technical means can be further derived. Preferably, the new flute may further include a mouthpiece plug assembly, including a mouthpiece cap and a mouthpiece plug. The mouthpiece cap is fixed to one end of the mouthpiece tube adjacent to the playing sound holes, and the mouthpiece plug is disposed in the mouthpiece tube and fixed to the mouthpiece cap. As described above, the mouthpiece plug is a metal mouthpiece plug.

[0015] In summary, for the new flute 100 with a trill key assembly provided by the present utility model, first, trill key sound holes are opened in the new flute body, and then by repeatedly pressing and releasing the trill operation key, the key cover repeatedly moves away from and covers the trill key sound holes to play a C trill or a #C trill, thereby solving the above problems.

[0048] Since the new flute with a tremolo key assembly provided by the present utility model can be widely applied to different types of new flutes, there are numerous combination and variation implementation manners. Herein, only one preferred embodiment is listed for specific illustration.

[0049] Please refer to Figures 2 to 5 , Figure 2 which is a three-dimensional schematic diagram showing the key cap of the new flute with a tremolo key assembly according to the preferred embodiment of the present utility model covering the tremolo key pressure sound holes; Figure 3 which is a three-dimensional schematic diagram showing the key cap of the new flute with a tremolo key assembly according to the preferred embodiment of the present utility model away from the tremolo key pressure sound holes;

[0050] Figure 4 is a perspective view of the back side of a new flute with a trill key assembly showing a preferred embodiment of the present utility model; and Figure 5 is an exploded perspective view of a new flute with a trill key assembly showing a preferred embodiment of the present utility model.

[0051] As Figures 2 to 5 shown, a new flute (hereinafter referred to as "new flute") 100 with a trill key assembly includes a new flute body 1, a head joint plug assembly 2, two fixing seats 3a and 3b, and a trill key assembly 4. The new flute body 1 has a blowing sound hole BH, at least one trill key side hole, a plurality of finger holes (only one finger hole PH is marked), and a plurality of auxiliary sound holes on its outer peripheral wall, and the trill key side hole is closer to the blowing sound hole BH than the finger holes. In this embodiment, a total of two trill key side holes VHa and VHb are provided, corresponding to the #D note. In other words, when all the finger holes are open and the trill key side holes VHa and VHb are closed, the new flute 100 can play the #C note, and when all the finger holes and the trill key side holes VHa and VHb are open, the new flute 100 can play the #D note. In other embodiments, only one trill key side hole corresponding to the #D note may be provided. In this embodiment, the new flute body 1 includes a head joint tube 11 and a body tube 12.

[0052] The head joint tube 11 includes a body portion 111, a lip pad portion 112, and a connecting portion 113. The body portion 111 is a hollow tube structure. The lip pad portion 112 protrudes integrally from the body portion 111 and has the blowing sound hole BH. The connecting portion 113 extends from the body portion adjacent to the body tube 12, and the outer diameter of the connecting portion 113 is smaller than the inner diameter of the body tube 12 for insertion into the body tube 12, thereby assembling and fixing the head joint tube 11 to the body tube 12.

[0053] The body tube 12 has the trill key side holes VHa and VHb, a plurality of finger holes, and a plurality of auxiliary sound holes, and is a hollow tube structure. Generally, a common new flute has eleven finger holes, while in this embodiment, the body tube 12 only has ten finger holes, removing the finger hole pressed by the left index finger joint and replacing it with a cross-finger method (releasing more than one finger hole at the same time) to make up the sound of the corresponding pitch. In addition, in this embodiment, a total of two auxiliary sound holes ASHa and ASHb are provided adjacent to one end of the body tube 12 to improve the sensitivity of sound production. The structure and working principle of the new flute body 1 are prior art and will not be elaborated in this embodiment.

[0054] The mouthpiece plug assembly 2 is fixed to one end of the mouthpiece tube 11 adjacent to the lip pad portion 112. In this embodiment, the mouthpiece plug assembly 2 includes a mouthpiece cap 21 and a mouthpiece plug 22. The mouthpiece cap 21 is fixed to one end of the mouthpiece tube 11. The mouthpiece plug 22 is disposed inside the mouthpiece tube 11 and is fixed to the mouthpiece cap 21. In order to improve the sensitivity of sound production, preferably, the mouthpiece plug 22 is a metal mouthpiece plug. The structures and working principles of the mouthpiece cap 21 and the mouthpiece plug 22 are both prior arts and will not be elaborated in this embodiment.

[0055] The fixing seats 3a and 3b are respectively fixed to the outer peripheral wall of the new flute body 1. The trill key assembly 4 includes a key shaft 41, at least one key and at least one key cap. The key shaft 41 is pivotally connected to the fixing seats 3a and 3b at both ends. In this embodiment, since the key shaft 41 is relatively long, an auxiliary fixing seat (not shown in the figure) can extend from the middle section of the flute body tube 12 adjacent to the key shaft 41. The auxiliary fixing seat is fixed to the flute body tube 12 to support the key shaft 41.

[0056] In this embodiment, there are altogether two trill operation keys 42a and 42b and two key caps 43a and 43b. The trill operation keys 42a and 42b are respectively fixed to the key shaft 41. The key caps 43a and 43b are respectively fixed to the key shaft 41 corresponding to the trill key tone holes VHa and VHb, and are respectively preset to cover the trill key tone holes VHa and VHb. In addition, since there can be various different fingerings during playing, the performer can selectively press the trill operation key 42a or 42b. In other embodiments, there can be only one trill operation key and one key cap corresponding to one trill key tone hole.

[0057] Since the trill operation keys 42a and 42b and the key caps 43a and 43b are all fixed to the key shaft 41, when a performer presses the trill operation key 42a or 42b, the key cap 43a moves away from the trill key tone hole VHa in a linked manner, and the key cap 43b also moves away from the trill key tone hole VHb in a linked manner; when the performer releases the trill operation key 42a or 42b, the key shaft 41 is driven by an elastic member (not shown in the figure), so that the key cap 43a moves back to cover the trill key tone hole VHa in a linked manner, and the key cap 43b moves back to cover the trill key tone hole VHb in a linked manner. In this embodiment, key pads (not shown in the figure) are provided at the positions of the key caps adjacent to the trill key tone holes to seal the trill key tone holes when the key caps cover the trill key tone holes and deform elastically.

[0058] In this embodiment, when the performer plays the C trill, first press some finger holes with the C fingering to play the C note, then press the trill operation button 42a or 42b to make the key caps 43a and 43b move away from the trill key pressure holes VHa and VHb respectively to play the D note, and then repeat the above process to play the C trill with the pitch switching between C and D. The C fingering is prior art and will not be elaborated in this embodiment.

[0059] In addition, when the performer plays the #C trill, first fully open the finger holes. At this time, the key caps 43a and 43b respectively cover the trill key pressure holes VHa and VHb to play the #C note, then press the trill operation button 42a or 42b to make the key caps 43a and 43b move away from the trill key pressure holes VHa and VHb respectively to play the #D note, and then repeat the above process to play the #C trill with the pitch switching between #C and #D.

[0060] In summary, for the new flute 100 provided by the present utility model, first open the trill key pressure holes VHa and VHb on the new flute body 1, and then repeatedly press and release the trill operation button 42a or 42b to make the key caps 43a and 43b repeatedly move away from and cover the trill key pressure holes to play the C trill or the #C trill, so as to solve the above problems.

[0061] Through the detailed description of the above preferred specific embodiments, it is hoped that the features and spirit of the present utility model can be more clearly described, rather than limiting the scope of the present utility model by the above disclosed preferred specific embodiments. On the contrary, the purpose is to hope to cover various changes and equivalent arrangements within the scope of the claims to be applied for by the present utility model.
