Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application generally relates to the technical field of rain stick structures, and specifically to a rain stick. Background Art

[0002] A rain stick is a device that mimics the sound of rain for psychological counseling or teaching purposes. Traditionally, a rain stick consists of a hollow structure filled with granules and a series of obstructions. When the stick is shaken or rotated, the granules collide with the obstructions and with each other, producing a sound similar to falling raindrops or the trickling of water.

[0003] Currently, rain sticks are not only used to simulate the sound of rain in musical works, but are also used in various sound therapy and relaxation activities, thanks to their soothing tone, which can help people relax. Furthermore, rain sticks often appear in film soundtracks and stage performances, providing audiences with an immersive natural sound experience. However, existing rain sticks have a small number of internal obstructions and a simple arrangement. This results in a short duration for particles to travel from one end of the rain stick to the other, typically only about twenty seconds, which affects their effectiveness. Therefore, we propose a rain stick to address this issue. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned defects or deficiencies in the prior art, it is desired to provide a rain stick with improved use effect.

[0005] The present application provides a rain stick, comprising:

[0006] The rain stick body is a cylindrical structure with a hollow interior forming a receiving cavity; two baffles are provided in the receiving cavity, which are arranged perpendicular to the central axis of the rain stick body and divide the receiving cavity into a first cavity, a second cavity, and a third cavity in sequence; the two baffles are provided with concentric through holes; and particles are provided in the first cavity or the third cavity;

[0007] A struck component is arranged in the second cavity; the struck component includes a plurality of struck pieces, adjacent struck pieces are arranged in parallel, and all the struck pieces are arranged in a spiral shape from one end to the other end of the second cavity along the central axis of the second cavity.

[0008] According to the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, the through hole and the struck component are coaxially arranged.

[0009] According to the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, the thickness of the baffle gradually increases from the through hole thereon to the edge thereof.

[0014] It can be seen from the above technical solution that this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0015] The present application discloses a rain stick, which includes: a rain stick main body, which is a cylindrical structure, and its interior is hollow to form a accommodating cavity, two baffles are provided inside the accommodating cavity and are arranged perpendicular to the central axis of the rain stick main body, and the accommodating cavity is divided into a first cavity, a second cavity and a third cavity in sequence, and concentric through holes are also provided on the two baffles, and particulate matter is arranged in the first cavity or the third cavity; further, a struck component is provided in the second cavity, which includes a plurality of struck parts, adjacent struck parts are arranged in parallel, and all struck parts are arranged in a spiral shape from one end to the other end of the second cavity along the central axis of the second cavity.

[0016] This application designs the struck component to resemble a DNA spiral structure. When the rain stick is used, the central axis of the entire rain stick is set vertically. Particles enter the second cavity through the through-hole of the first cavity, or the particles enter the second cavity through the through-hole of the third cavity. After entering the second cavity, the particles fall on the struck component and move from top to bottom along the central axis of the second cavity.

Without changing the length of the second cavity, the maximum flow path of the particles is effectively extended, which can not only extend the duration of the particles from one end of the second cavity to the other end, but also improve the use effect.

[0022] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for the purpose of explaining the relevant invention and are not intended to limit the invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only portions relevant to the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0023] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0024] In order to make the rain stick provided by the embodiment of the present application clearer and easier to understand, the rain stick is introduced below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this figure is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the rain stick provided in an embodiment of the present application, and the rain stick includes:

[0025] The rain stick body is a cylindrical structure and its interior is hollow to form a accommodating cavity; wherein the rain stick body is made of, for example, transparent plastic material, which makes it easy to observe the flow of the internal particles in the working state and which cavity they are in when not working.

[0026] Two baffles 1 are provided in the accommodating cavity, which are arranged perpendicular to the central axis of the rain stick body and divide the accommodating cavity into a first cavity 2, a second cavity 3, and a third cavity 4. The two baffles 1 are arranged in parallel and divide the accommodating cavity into three cavities. Moreover, the volumes of the first cavity 2 and the third cavity 4 are equal, so that the particles after flowing can be completely placed inside the first cavity 2 or the third cavity 4. Here, the baffles 1 and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity can be connected by bolts. For example, holes can be opened in the side walls of the rain stick body, and screws 9 can be used to connect the rain stick body and the baffles 1. This facilitates the replacement of baffles 1 with through holes 5 of different sizes, so that particles can enter the second cavity 3 at different flow rates.

[0027] The two baffles 1 are provided with concentric through-holes 5, which allow particles to enter and exit the corresponding cavities. The diameter of the through-holes 5 can be adjusted according to actual needs. Furthermore, the through-holes 5 are coaxial with the struck component to ensure that the effective flow path of the particles is maximized.

[0028] Particles are disposed in the first cavity 2 or the third cavity 4 ; here, the type of the particles is, for example, steel balls or glass beads.

[0029] The struck assembly is disposed within the second cavity 3 and includes multiple struck members 7, with adjacent struck members 7 arranged in parallel and arranged in a spiral pattern from one end of the second cavity 3 to the other along the central axis of the second cavity 3. The struck members 7 are wooden or acrylic sticks. The struck assembly has a DNA-like helical structure, with the maximum linear distance between two adjacent struck members 7 along the central axis of the second cavity 3 being, for example, 5 mm, and the maximum linear distance between two adjacent struck members 7 along the radial direction of the second cavity 3 being, for example, 5 mm.

[0030] It should be noted that the collision of particles of different materials and the struck parts 7 of different materials can produce rain sounds of different tones; for example, when the particles are glass beads and the struck parts 7 are made of wood, the imitated rain sound is relatively small; when the particles are steel balls and the struck parts 7 are made of acrylic, the imitated rain sound is relatively large; according to the actual required tone size, particles of different materials and struck parts 7 of different materials are used in combination to achieve the simulation of rain sounds with multiple tones.

[0031] Further, if Figure 2 As shown, the thickness of the baffle 1 gradually increases from the through hole 5 thereon to the edge thereof; both sides of the baffle 1 are formed into a funnel-like shape, which facilitates the introduction of particles into the corresponding cavities.

[0032] Further, if Figure 1 As shown, the struck member 7 is connected to the sidewall of the second cavity 3 via mounting pads 8. For example, two sets of corresponding mounting hole units, similar to a DNA helix structure, are provided on the sidewall of the second cavity 3. Each set of mounting hole units contains multiple mounting holes. Each struck member 7 is inserted into the mounting holes of the two corresponding sets of mounting hole units. The mounting pads 8 are then placed on both ends of the struck member 7 to secure it. This achieves the connection between the struck member 7 and the sidewall of the second cavity. If a struck member 7 is damaged, only the corresponding struck member 7 can be replaced.

[0033] Furthermore, a first opening is formed at one end of the first cavity 2 away from the second cavity 3, and a second opening is formed at one end of the third cavity 4 away from the second cavity 3. Covers 6 are respectively mounted at the first and second openings. The cover 6 and the rain stick body are detachably connected, for example, by bolts, to facilitate replacement of different types of granules.

[0034] The present application designs the struck component to resemble a DNA spiral structure. When the rain stick is used, the central axis of the entire rain stick is set vertically. Particles enter the second cavity 3 through the through hole 5 of the first cavity 2, or the particles enter the second cavity 2 through the through hole 5 of the third cavity 4. After entering the second cavity 3, the particles fall on the struck member 7 and move from top to bottom along the central axis of the second cavity 3. During the movement, they can always collide with the corresponding struck member 7 to imitate the sound of rain. Finally, the particles fall into the corresponding third cavity 4 or first cavity 2, completing the process of imitating the sound of rain. Without changing the length of the second cavity 3, the maximum flow path of the particles is effectively extended, which can not only extend the duration of the particles 5 from one end of the second cavity to the other end, but also improve the use effect.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application and an illustration of the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the invention herein is not limited to the technical solutions formed by the specific combination of the above-mentioned technical features, but also encompasses other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above-mentioned technical features or their equivalents without departing from the inventive concept. For example, a technical solution formed by replacing the above-mentioned features with (but not limited to) technical features having similar functions disclosed in this application.
