[0029] The magnetic absorption device includes a Hall magnetic sensor 501 provided on the main support shell 101 and a magnet 502 provided on the storage support shell 201. The Hall magnetic sensor 501 is used to detect changes in the magnetic field and cooperates with the magnet 502 to achieve automatic locking after folding.
[0030] The Hall magnetic sensor 501 is located on a side of the main support shell 101 facing the storage support shell 201 , and the magnet 502 is located on a side of the storage support shell 201 facing the main support shell 101 .

A rotating shaft 402 is provided on the flip plate 401 , and a rotating plate is rotatably connected between the two rotating shafts 402 .
[0032] The magnetic receiving device further comprises a receiving groove structure for fixing the neck 1 in a folded state, wherein a magnet 502 is arranged in the receiving groove for fixing the neck 1 on the body 2 by magnetic attraction.
[0033] The power supply system of the device is linked to the Hall magnetic sensor 501. When the folded state is detected, the power is automatically cut off; when the device is unfolded to the playing state, the power supply is automatically restored.
[0034] A plurality of conductive rubber buttons 102 are provided on the main support shell 101 . A PCB 3 is provided inside the main support shell 101 . The PCB 3 is electrically connected to the conductive rubber buttons 102 .
[0035] See Figures 2 and 3 The main support shell 101 and the storage support shell 201 are rotatably connected with a damping hinge structure 4 that drives the two to rotate and fold.
[0036] Among them, a damping hinge is used at the connection between the guitar neck 1 and the body 2. The hinge can provide a smooth and stable folding experience during the folding process, prevent excessive folding or unfolding, avoid possible damage to the neck 1 and the body 2, and enhance the user experience.
[0037] A Hall effect magnetic sensor 501 is provided on one of the main body support shell 101 and the storage support shell 201 , and a magnet 502 is provided on the other. The Hall effect magnetic sensor 501 corresponds to the magnet 502 .

[0040] In the storage groove of the neck 1, a magnet 502 is used to fix the neck 1 to the body 2 to ensure stability in the storage state.
[0041] A Hall effect switch is installed at the folding part of the guitar, which can detect the folding state by using the change of magnetic field. When the guitar is fully folded, the Hall effect switch automatically triggers the system to shut down and cut off the power supply.
[0042] When the guitar is unfolded to the playing state, the Hall switch activates the system again, restoring the power supply and ensuring the normal use of the guitar.
[0043] In a possible embodiment, other types of sensors are used instead of the Hall switch to detect the folding state, including a photoelectric sensor.
[0044] In a feasible embodiment, other mechanical structures are used to replace the damping hinge or the magnet 502 while maintaining the same functional design.
[0045] Implementation Method 1
[0046] A damping hinge is installed at the connection between the guitar neck 1 and the guitar body 2. When the user folds the guitar, the hinge provides smooth damping to prevent premature folding or unfolding. A magnet 502 is embedded near the hinge. When folding is complete, the magnetic attraction automatically locks the guitar neck 1, ensuring its stability. The magnet 502 in the storage slot secures the folded guitar neck 1.
[0047] Implementation Method 2
[0048] A Hall effect switch is installed in the folding area. When the neck 1 is folded to a specific angle, the Hall effect switch detects a change in the magnetic field and automatically triggers the system to shut down the power supply, saving energy. When the guitar is unfolded, the Hall effect switch reactivates the power supply and resumes normal function.
[0049] Product performance test results:
[0050] Test 1: The system's automatic power-off time in the folded state was tested, with an average of 0.5 seconds.
[0051] Test 2: Durability test of the damping hinge after 1,000 folding operations, with no noticeable wear or loosening.
[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
