Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of musical instruments, in particular to a novel hollow drum. Background Art

[0002] The hollow drum is a type of steel tongue drum, a new type of percussion instrument that produces sound through the vibration of a disc-shaped steel tongue. It combines the characteristics of handpans, marimbas, and wooden tongue drums (instruments that primarily rely on the tongue to drive the resonance chamber). The hollow drum is an emerging instrument that integrates philosophy, religion, culture, and art, with modern technology, sound theory, and innovative design.

[0003] The upper surface of existing hollow drums has multiple sound tongues of varying sizes. Users strike the sound tongues with drumsticks or their hands, producing sound through the vibrations of the sound tongues. However, the relatively simple design of the sound tongues in existing hollow drums significantly limits the timbre of the hollow drums, seriously affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a new type of hollow drum to address the problem that the existing hollow drum has a relatively simple sound tongue design, which greatly limits the timbre of the hollow drum and seriously affects the customer experience.

[0005] A novel hollow drum comprises a drum body, wherein the drum body comprises an upper drum body and a lower drum body which are fixedly connected, and eight peripheral tone tongues are arranged around the geometric center of the upper drum body;

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the following detailed description of specific embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following description sets forth many specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar modifications without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being "directly on" another element, there is no intermediate element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only."

[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. The terms used herein in the specification of this invention are intended only to describe specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0026] The utility model discloses a novel hollow drum.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the new hollow drum includes a drum body, which comprises an upper drum body 10 and a lower drum body 20 that are fixedly connected. Eight peripheral tone tongues 11 are arranged around the geometric center of the upper drum body 10. Each peripheral tone tongue 11 is equipped with a first consonant tongue 111, a second consonant tongue 112, a third consonant tongue 113, a fourth consonant tongue 114, and a fifth consonant tongue 115. The first consonant tongue 111, the second consonant tongue 112, the third consonant tongue 113, and the fourth consonant tongue 114 are arranged adjacent to the fifth consonant tongue 115. A tone control hole 21 and a rubber plug that fits into the tone control hole 21 are provided at the geometric center of the lower drum body 20.

[0028] The peripheral tone tongue 11 is used for the user to strike for playing. The tone control hole 21 allows the sound of the new hollow drum to be emitted rather than being absorbed by the new hollow drum; however, the design of the tone control hole 21 may lead to insufficient resonance and a less full tone to a certain extent. Blocking the tone control hole 21 with a rubber plug can close the sound cavity, enhance the resonance, make the tone fuller, and absorb the metallic sound emitted by the drum body material itself, making the tone of the new hollow drum purer.

[0029] The new hollow drum includes a drum body comprising a fixedly connected upper and lower drum bodies. Eight peripheral tone tongues are positioned around the geometric center of the upper drum body. Each peripheral tone tongue is equipped with a first, second, third, fourth, and fifth consonant tongue, with the first, second, third, and fourth consonant tongues positioned adjacent to the fifth consonant tongue. A tone control hole and a rubber plug that fits the tone control hole are positioned at the geometric center of the lower drum body. Because each peripheral tone tongue is equipped with a first, second, third, fourth, and fifth consonant tongue, different timbres can be produced by striking different positions of the peripheral tone tongues during playing, further enriching the timbral range of the new hollow drum and enhancing the user experience.

[0030] Each peripheral tone tongue 11 is provided with a first protrusion 116, a second protrusion 117, a third protrusion 118, and a fourth protrusion 119 at the positions corresponding to the first consonant tongue 111, the second consonant tongue 112, the third consonant tongue 113, and the fourth consonant tongue 114. The provision of the first protrusion 116, the second protrusion 117, the third protrusion 118, and the fourth protrusion 119 makes the structures of the first consonant tongue 111, the second consonant tongue 112, the third consonant tongue 113, and the fourth consonant tongue 114 more stable.

[0031] The surface areas of the first consonant tongue 111, the second consonant tongue 112, the third consonant tongue 113, and the fourth consonant tongue 114 are all smaller than the surface area of the fifth consonant tongue 115. Since the surface areas of the first consonant tongue 111, the second consonant tongue 112, the third consonant tongue 113, and the fourth consonant tongue 114 are all smaller than the surface area of the fifth consonant tongue 115, the pitch of the first consonant tongue 111, the second consonant tongue 112, the third consonant tongue 113, and the fourth consonant tongue 114 is greater than the pitch of the fifth consonant tongue 115, making it easier for the user to control the pitch during performance.

[0032] Among them, each peripheral tone tongue 11 is provided with a tone tongue mark 110. By providing the tone tongue mark 110, the user can sensitively select the peripheral tone tongue 11 to be struck during playing, thereby reducing the risk of operational errors.

[0033] The novel hollow drum further comprises a drum cover, which is sleeved on the outer side of the drum body. By sleeved on the outer side of the drum body, the novel hollow drum is easy to hang, thereby improving the convenience of using the novel hollow drum.

[0034] Furthermore, the upper drum body 10 is provided with a first step structure 13 that matches the drum casing, and the lower drum body 20 is provided with a second step structure 22 that matches the drum casing. By providing the first step structure 13 and the second step structure 22, the connection between the drum body and the drum casing is made more secure, preventing the drum casing from separating from the drum body and causing the drum body to fall.

[0035] A central sound hole 12 is provided at the geometric center of the upper drum body 10. This not only enhances the aesthetics of the new hollow drum but also adjusts its pitch and volume. The central sound hole 12 includes a first sound hole 121, a second sound hole 122, a third sound hole 123, a fourth sound hole 124, and a fifth sound hole 125. The first, second, third, and fourth sound holes 121, 122, 123, 124, and 125 are positioned adjacent to the fifth sound hole 125. By providing the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth sound holes 121, 122, 123, 124, and 125 in the central sound hole 12, the central sound hole 12 can regulate the flow and resonance of air within the new hollow drum, affecting its pitch and volume, thereby achieving an ideal playing effect.

[0036] The areas of the first sound hole 121, the second sound hole 122, the third sound hole 123, and the fourth sound hole 124 are smaller than the area of the fifth sound hole 125. Since the areas of the first sound hole 121, the second sound hole 122, the third sound hole 123, and the fourth sound hole 124 are smaller than the area of the fifth sound hole 125, the new hollow drum has a richer range of tones and volume adjustments.

[0037] The shape of the tone control hole 21 can be set according to actual needs. Preferably, the tone control hole 21 is circular.

[0038] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0039] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementations of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present utility model patent shall be determined by the appended claims.
