Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of piano parts, and specifically relates to a positioning device for a grand piano iron plate. Background Art
[0002] The piano iron plate can also be called the piano iron bracket or the piano iron row. It is a cast iron part used for hooking the strings secretly, that is, the iron plate of the resonance disc in the piano parts. It is one of the main components of the sound source system and is also one of the important components directly affecting the quality of the piano. The piano iron plate needs to bear a tensile force of at least more than 16 tons from the strings, and the total tensile force of the strings of a grand piano (the largest nine-foot piano) can reach more than 26 tons.
[0003] The piano string plate is an important part of the support structure, with a thickness between 35 mm and 45 mm. Its shape is similar to the shape of the string plate part of the iron plate. Because it is fixed on the back of the string plate of the iron plate to fix the string pins and bears all the tension from the strings. It makes the sound of the piano in a very stable state and ensures the basic performance of the accurate pitch of the piano.
[0004] The piano back frame can also be called the piano backrest. The back frame bears a large amount of load generated by the string tension, and the load is approximately between 170,000 N and 180,000 N. Before the iron plate was not used in the past, the back frame mainly supported the tensile force from the strings.
[0005] After the grand piano iron plate, string plate and back frame are processed, it is necessary for the operator to accurately assemble them with each other. However, whether the alignment is accurate depends on the experience of the operator and the accuracy of size measurement. Even for an experienced operator, it is still easy to have inaccurate alignment during the assembly process, resulting in a large amount of manpower and time consumption during the assembly. If the assembly is inaccurate, it will affect the assembly of the piano keyboard hammers system and directly affect the quality of the piano.
