[0089] Refer to Figure 1 , this embodiment provides a stringed instrument 1000, including a headstock 10, a neck 11, a resonance box 12, a pickup 100, and strings 14 (not shown in the figure). The neck 11 is arranged along the length direction Y and is connected to the resonance box 12 at one end and the headstock 10 at the other end.

[0090] The resonance box 12 is generally in the shape of a box. The resonance box 12 has a panel 121 perpendicular to the vertical direction Z. A bridge 122 is provided on the surface of the panel 121. The bridge 122 is strip-shaped and arranged along the width direction X. A plurality of strings 14 are spanned between the headstock 10 and the bridge 122 along the length direction Y. The pickup 100 is located between the strings 14 and the resonance box 12. The pickup 100 corresponds to the strings 14 along the vertical direction Z. The sound generated by plucking the strings 14 can be picked up by the pickup 100, and then the sound signal is converted into an electrical signal and transmitted to an audio device for amplification. The pickup 100 is fixedly connected between the neck 11 of the stringed instrument 1000 and the panel 121 of the resonance box 12. The pickup 100 is fixedly installed and is not likely to fall or deflect to affect sound pickup.

[0091] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in this embodiment, the pickup 100 includes a housing 15, a sound pickup component 16, and a cover 17. The housing 15 has an open accommodation space 151. The housing 15 is connected between the neck 11 of the stringed instrument 1000 and the panel 121 of the resonance box 12. The sound pickup component 16 is installed in the accommodation space 151. The sound pickup component 16 is generally in the shape of a box. The sound pickup component 16 has a plurality of sensing devices. The number of sensing devices corresponds to the number of strings. Each sensing device is used to sense the vibration of a string to convert the sound signal of a string into a digital signal. The cover 17 is connected to the housing 15 and covers the open side of the accommodation space 151.

[0092] In this embodiment, the pickup 100 adopts an electromagnetic induction pickup, and converts the sound signal into an electrical signal through the vibration of the strings 14.

[0093] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in this embodiment, the cover member 17 includes a cover plate 171 and a light guide plate 172. The cover plate 171 covers the opening of the accommodation space 151, and the light guide plate 172 is vertically connected to the cover plate 171 and extends into the accommodation space 151. The cover plate 171 and the light guide plate 172 are made of light guide materials. The pick-up 100 further includes an indicator light 18, which is disposed in the accommodation space 151 and corresponds to the side of the light guide plate 172 away from the cover plate 171. The cover plate 171 has a light-transmitting area 1711 for allowing the light emitted by the indicator light 18 to pass through the light guide plate 172 and the cover plate 171 and emerge from the light-transmitting area 1711, forming an indicator light strip.

[0094] See Figure 6 and Figure 7 , in this embodiment, the indicator light 18 is composed of a plurality of lights, and the plurality of lights are arranged at intervals along the width direction X. The light guide plate 172 corresponds to the indicator light 18 along the width direction X.

[0095] In this embodiment, the indicator light 18 is used to indicate the open state of the pick-up component 16 (see Figure 3 ). When the pick-up component 16 is turned on, the indicator light 18 is turned on, and when the pick-up component 16 is turned off, the indicator light 18 is turned off.

[0096] In this embodiment, an installation plate 1511 is provided at the bottom of the accommodation space 151. Both ends of the installation plate 1511 along the width direction X have tooth-shaped notches. The indicator light 18 is installed on the installation plate 1511, and a terminal block 1512 (see Figure 4 ) is provided on the side of the installation plate 1511 away from the indicator light 18 to electrically connect the indicator light 18 and the pick-up component 16 to the control component. The control component is used to control the opening and closing of the pick-up component 16 and the indicator light 18.

[0097] In this embodiment, the pick-up component 16 is installed on the installation plate 1511. Positioning protrusions 155 are provided at both ends of the inner wall of the housing 15 along the width direction X and at the bottom of the housing 15. The positioning protrusions 155 at both ends along the width direction X protrude inwardly into the accommodation space 151. The positioning protrusions 155 abut against the notches at both ends of the installation plate 1511 along the width direction X, so that the pick-up component 16 will not deflect after being installed in the accommodation space 151, resulting in poor sound pickup. A strip-shaped groove 1513 is formed in the installation plate 1511, and the positioning protrusion 155 at the bottom of the housing 15 extends into the strip-shaped groove 1513 to fix the installation plate 1511.

[0098] In this embodiment, the cover plate 171 further has a light-shielding area 1712, and the outer surface of the light-shielding area 1712 of the cover plate 171 is covered with a light-shielding layer.

[0099] In this embodiment, a light-shielding material is first covered on the cover plate 171 to form a light-shielding layer, and then the light-shielding material in the light-transmitting area 1711 is removed to obtain the light-transmitting area 1711, so that the light emitted by the indicator lamp 18 can pass through the cover plate 171 and penetrate the light-transmitting area 1711 to form an indicator lamp 18 strip to indicate the on state of the pickup 100. In other embodiments, other materials or other methods can be used to cover the light-shielding area to achieve the light-shielding effect.

[0100] In this embodiment, the housing 15 includes two positioning convex rods 152, the cover 17 includes two positioning sleeves 173, the positioning sleeves 173 are provided with positioning grooves 1731, the two positioning sleeves 173 are respectively arranged on both sides of the length direction of the light guide plate 172 (i.e., the width direction X), and the two positioning sleeves 173 respectively sleeved their positioning grooves 1731 on the two positioning convex rods 152. In this embodiment, the cover 17 further includes a second elastic clamping strip 1713, the second elastic clamping strip 1713 protrudes from the surface of the cover plate 171 facing the accommodating space 151, one end of the second elastic clamping strip 1713 is connected to the cover plate 171, and the other end is provided with a clamping protrusion 1714 (see Figure 5 ). The housing 15 is provided with a mating groove 156 (see Figure 3 ). When the cover 17 is fitted to the housing 15, the second elastic clamping strip 1713 can be clamped to the housing 15 with its clamping protrusion 1714, and the clamping protrusion 1714 abuts against the groove wall of the mating groove 156 to fix the cover plate 171 to the housing 15. Among them, the diameter of the positioning convex rod 152 connecting one end of the housing 15 is larger than that of the other end, and the diameter of the positioning groove 1731 near one end of the housing 15 is larger than that of the other end, so that the cover plate 171 can be better positioned and installed.

[0101] See Figure 8 , in this embodiment, the resonance box 12 has a panel 121, and the neck 11 has a fingerboard 111. The panel 121 is provided with a notch 123, one end of the fingerboard 111 close to the resonance box 12 is fitted to the notch 123, and the fingerboard 111 and the notch 123 enclose a mating hole 19. The housing 15 is inserted into the resonance box 12 from the mating hole 19, and the cover plate 171 (see Figure 3 ) covers the mating hole 19. Among them, the notch 123 is generally U-shaped, and the fingerboard 111 is fitted and connected to one end of the U-shaped opening to form the mating hole 19.

[0102] See Figure 9 and Figure 10 , in this embodiment, the housing 15 includes a surrounding wall 153 and a convex edge 154, the convex edge 154 is connected to one side of the surrounding wall 153 and forms a stepped fit with the surrounding wall 153. The surrounding wall 153 includes a side away from the fingerboard 111 (see Figure 8)The side wall 1531 on one side, and a first elastic clamping strip 1532 is connected to the side wall 1531. The panel 121 is clamped between the convex edge 154 and the first elastic clamping strip 1532.

[0103] In this embodiment, one end of the first elastic clamping strip 1532 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the housing 15, and the other end is bent in a direction away from the accommodating space 151.

[0104] In this embodiment, the bent end of the first elastic clamping strip 1532 can elastically retreat to allow the housing 15 to be pressed down and installed into the mating hole 19. At this time, the convex edge 154 abuts against the panel 121. After the installation is completed, the first elastic clamping strip 1532 resets and its bent end abuts against the panel 121, clamping the panel 121 between the convex edge 154 and the first elastic clamping strip 1532.

[0105] See Figures 9 to 12 , in this embodiment, a first clamping portion 1541 is provided at one end of the convex edge 154 close to the finger board 111. A second clamping portion 112 is provided on the side of the finger board 111 facing the housing 15, and the first clamping portion 1541 is clamped to the second clamping portion 112. The first clamping portion 1541 includes a first boss 1542 and a first groove 1543. The first boss 1542 protrudes from the side of the convex edge 154 close to the finger board 111. The first boss 1542 has a first protrusion and a second protrusion. The first protrusion protrudes from the end of the finger board 111 close to the convex edge 154 towards the convex edge 154, and the second protrusion protrudes from the end of the first protrusion close to the convex edge 154 towards the side away from the resonance box 12. The first groove 1543 is recessed from the surface of the convex edge 154 close to the surrounding wall 153 towards the side away from the surrounding wall 153. The second clamping portion 112 includes a second boss 1121 and a second groove 1122. The second boss 1121 is provided at the end of the finger board 111 close to the convex edge 154 and protrudes towards the side away from the resonance box 12 (see Figure 8 ) side, and the second groove 1122 is recessed from the surface of the finger board 111 close to the housing 15 towards the side away from the housing 15. The projection of the first groove 1543 along the width direction X corresponds to the second boss 1121, and the projection of the second groove 1122 along the width direction X corresponds to the first boss 1542. In this embodiment, when installing the housing 15, first fit one end of the convex edge 154 close to the finger board 111 to the finger board 111. At this time, the first boss 1542 extends into the second groove 1122 (in the state shown in Figure 9 ), and then the end of the housing 15 away from the finger board 111 is pressed down, so that the second boss 1121 is rotationally fitted to the first groove 1543 (in the state shown in Figure 10 ).

[0106] In other embodiments, the pickup can also be first connected to one end of the neck near the resonance box, and a jelly-like substance can be filled in the gap between the pickup and the neck to integrate the pickup with the neck, and then the neck can be installed on the resonance box to form a stringed instrument.
