[0017] Embodiment 1, as Figure 1As shown in the figure, a sliding plucking device of the present utility model includes a plucking base 1, a slider linear displacement sensor 2 disposed on the plucking base 1, and a plucking block 3. The slider linear displacement sensor 2 includes an input sliding rod 21, and the plucking block 3 is sleeved on the top of the input sliding rod 21. By plucking the plucking block 3, the plucking block 3 slides and correspondingly drives the input sliding rod 21 to slide, thereby inputting a corresponding displacement signal to the slider linear displacement sensor 2. By corresponding different plucking situations with the detection results of the slider linear displacement sensor 2, the plucking force and speed of the plucking block 3 can be inferred. Then, by combining the pre-defined note data and plucking force data inside, different sounds can be output, so as to simulate the function of plucking the strings of a traditional plucked instrument. The sliding plucking device of the present utility model can not only avoid the harm of the strings to the fingers, but also be more in line with the playing method of traditional plucked instruments, can better simulate the function of plucking the strings of traditional plucked instruments, and can be better applied to various electronic plucked instruments.
[0018] The sliding plucking device of the present utility model further includes a reset assembly 4 for driving the plucking block 3 to reset and align. The reset assembly 4 includes a reset block 41 sleeved on the input sliding rod 21 and a reset tension spring 42. One end of the reset tension spring 42 is connected to the reset block 41, and the other end of the reset tension spring 42 is connected to the plucking base 1. Through the reset tension spring 42, the plucking block 3 can be automatically reset and aligned after each plucking, which can make the plucking feel better and can better simulate the function of plucking the strings of a traditional plucked instrument.
[0019] The reset assembly 4 includes two reset tension springs 42. One ends of the two reset tension springs 42 are respectively connected to both ends of the reset block 41, and the other ends of the two reset tension springs 42 are respectively connected to the plucking base 1. Compared with only setting one reset tension spring 42, which can only pluck and achieve automatic reset and alignment in one direction of the plucking block 3, the reset assembly 4 of the present utility model includes two reset tension springs 42, and the two reset tension springs 42 are respectively located on both sides of the plucking block 3, which can pluck and achieve automatic reset and alignment in two different directions of the plucking block 3. By plucking the plucking block 3 in different directions, different plucking performance effects can be achieved, and the overall plucking performance effect is more rich.
[0020] The plucking base 1 is formed with a limit sliding groove 11, and the input sliding rod 21 is slidably connected in the limit sliding groove 11. Through the limit sliding groove 11, the situation that the plucking block 3 slides excessively can be prevented, and the practicability is stronger.
[0021] When the plucking block 3 is reset and aligned, the plucking block 3 is located in the middle of the limiting slide groove 11, and the distances that the plucking block 3 can be plucking on both sides are the same. Of course, in other embodiments, the distances that the plucking block 3 can be plucking on both sides can be adjusted to be different according to specific usage conditions.
[0022] The plucking block 3 is a block structure, and the plucking feel is good. The two ends of the top of the plucking block 3 are respectively rounded structures, which is not only more beautiful as a whole, but also can prevent scratches on the hands.
