[0023] Embodiment:

[0024] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 shown, the quick stepless tone-changing mechanism of the banhu of the present utility model includes a fiddle stick 1. A slide rail 2 is provided on the front surface of the fiddle stick 1. A sliding groove for the nut 3 is slidably fitted on the slide rail 2. A nut 5 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the sliding groove for the nut 3, and a braking mechanism 4 is provided at the lower end. With the cooperation of the fiddle stick 1, the slide rail 2, the sliding groove for the nut 3, the nut 5, and the braking mechanism 4 of the present utility model, when not changing the tone, the braking mechanism 4 plays a braking role, the sliding groove for the nut 3 cannot slide, and the nut 5 cannot move. When it is necessary to change the tone, release the braking mechanism 4, slide the sliding groove for the nut 3 to drive the nut 5 to move, so as to achieve stepless tone change. During the use process, only the left hand needs to control the braking mechanism 4 and hold the sliding groove for the nut 3 to operate to perform quick tone change. The operation is quite convenient, which not only greatly improves the playing technique of the banhu, but also promotes the expansion of the tonalities of traditional Chinese opera music without affecting the playing effect. It should be noted that as shown in the figure, the gap between the slide rail 2 and the fiddle stick 1 is relatively large. In this embodiment, it is for the convenience of clearly showing the cooperation structure of each component. In the actual product, the gap between the slide rail 2 and the fiddle stick 1 is quite small, and during manufacturing, it is designed based on the smallest gap that can slide smoothly.

[0025] The utility model relates to the technical field of banhu musical instruments, and particularly relates to a rapid stepless pitch-changing mechanism for banhu. A slide rail 2 is fixed on the fiddle stick 1. A braking tooth 6 is arranged on one side of the slide rail 2. The front surface of the slide rail 2 is provided with tuning name graduation lines 8 engraved with the tuning names used by the banhu. A sliding groove 3 for the yoke is slidably fitted on the slide rail 2. A yoke 5 is fixed on the sliding groove 3 for the yoke. An elastic reset plate 11 is fixed under the sliding groove 3 for the yoke. The elastic reset plate 11 is connected with a pressing plate 10. The pressing plate 10 is connected with a braking plate 12 through a connecting plate 9. A sawtooth structure 13 matched with the braking tooth 6 is arranged on the braking plate 12. When the pressing plate 10 is not pressed, the braking tooth 6 and the sawtooth structure 13 are automatically engaged under the elastic action of the elastic reset plate 11, and the yoke is tightly fixed at the required position. When the pressing plate 10 is pressed by the left thumb, the braking tooth 6 and the sawtooth structure 13 are automatically separated. At this time, by pushing the sliding groove 3 for the yoke up and down, the purpose of rapid stepless pitch-changing of the banhu can be achieved. This technology is simple to operate, convenient and practical. Without affecting the playing skills and without changing the playing method, it preferably solves the problem of rapid pitch-changing of banhu and similar musical instruments, enriches the expressiveness of the musical instruments, provides more convenience and possibilities for the performers, and has an inestimable effect on exploring the potential of the musical instruments and promoting the expansion of the tonality of traditional opera music.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment, the braking mechanism 4 includes a pressing plate 10 and a braking plate 12. A connecting plate 9 is connected between the pressing plate 10 and the braking plate 12. One end of the pressing plate 10 is provided with an elastic reset plate 11 connected with the sliding groove 3 for the yoke. A notch for the convenient passage of the braking plate 12 is arranged at a corresponding position on the slide rail 2. After such a design, when not in pitch-changing, the elastic reset plate 11 uses elasticity to keep the pressing plate 10 in an expanded state. The braking plate 12 contacts the side surface of the slide rail 2 and is braked by static friction. When pitch-changing is needed, use the left hand finger to press the pressing plate 10 to overcome the elasticity of the elastic reset plate 11, move the connecting plate 9, so that the braking plate 12 is separated from the side surface of the slide rail 2. At this time, the sliding groove 3 for the yoke can be moved according to requirements. After reaching the position, release the pressing plate 10 to make the braking plate 12 contact the slide rail 2 again for braking. The operation is simple, fast and accurate, so as to achieve the purpose of rapid stepless pitch-changing, which is convenient and practical and provides more convenience and possibilities for the performers.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment, a braking tooth 6 for increasing the braking friction is arranged on the side part of the slide rail 2. After such a design, the static friction between the braking plate 12 and the slide rail 2 is greatly increased, the braking effect is increased, and the stability of the yoke 5 is improved.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment, a serrated structure 13 that cooperates with the braking teeth 6 is provided on the braking plate 12. After such design, when braking, the serrated structure 13 on the braking plate 12 cooperates with the braking teeth 6, further enhancing the braking effect. Without separation between the two, it is impossible to slide the jack sliding groove 3 by brute force.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment, the elastic reset plate 11 is made of a thin steel plate. As a preferred embodiment, tuning name scale lines 8 are provided on the fingerboard 1, and tuning name indicating arrows 7 for indicating the tuning name scale lines 8 are provided on the jack sliding groove 3. After such design, the user can conveniently observe the tuning name scale lines 8 and quickly move the jack sliding groove 3 and the jack 5 to the position where tuning is required. The tuning name indicating arrows 7 can conveniently indicate the tuning name.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment, the fingerboard 1 is square.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment, the edges of the slide rail 2 and the edges of the pressing plate 10 are both designed to be smooth. After such design, it can avoid scratching the user's hand and improve safety.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, and they should all be covered by the scope of the claims and the description of the present invention.
