Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of guitar moisturizing, in particular to a humidifier for guitars. Background Art

[0002] To maintain and protect the internal humidity of guitars, humidifiers with both humidification and humidity monitoring functions have been designed. However, some existing humidifiers are unable to accurately and timely detect the humidity inside a guitar. For example, the guitar humidifier disclosed in Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication No. CN210896596U has a hygrometer mounted on the top of the humidifier. When the humidifier is connected to the guitar, the humidity displayed by the hygrometer is not the actual humidity inside the guitar. This is because the hygrometer is located outside the guitar sound hole, rather than completely inside the guitar. External environmental factors can affect the hygrometer's humidity reading, leading to blind adjustments to the guitar's internal humidity due to inaccurate hygrometer readings, which can often be counterproductive. Furthermore, the humidifier's location outside the sound hole makes it easy to accidentally touch the guitar when plucking the strings, causing the humidifier to become loose from the guitar, rendering it unable to humidify the guitar while it is in use. This limits the humidifier's use in various scenarios.

[0003] In addition, existing guitar humidifiers have disadvantages such as difficulty in assembly and disassembly, insufficient connection tightness, inability to be flexibly installed on guitars of different sizes, and the need to be disassembled from the guitar for water addition.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The utility model discloses a humidifier for guitar, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it includes a shell 2 with several through holes on the side wall and a cover body 3 with a card interface 15, the cover body 3 is fitted at the port 4 of the shell 2, and a cavity 5 for loading humidification material is provided in the shell 2, and a fixing frame 6 is provided on the end side wall of the shell 2 away from the port 4, and the fixing frame 6 is provided with a first matching groove 7 for installing a hygrometer 27, one end of the card interface 15 is provided with an elastic member 8, and the end of the cover body 3 away from the elastic member 8 is recessed to form a finger position 9, one side of the port 4 extends outward to form a protrusion 10, and the protrusion 10 is provided with a groove body 11 connected to the cavity 5.

[0026] It should be noted that after the humidifying material is placed in the cavity 5 and the cover 3 is fitted into the port 4 of the shell 2, the humidifier 1 can be normally installed in the guitar 23, and the humidifier 1 is installed in the sound hole 24 of the guitar 23 along the direction in which the card interface 15 and the wall surface of the guitar 23 outside the sound hole 24 fit together; after the humidifier 1 is installed in the guitar 23, since the position of the first fitting groove 7 is located away from the position in which the card interface 15 and the wall surface of the guitar 23 outside the sound hole 24 fit together, the position in which the hygrometer 27 is installed in the humidifier 1 is located at the bottom of the humidifier 1, and its position is located in the internal space of the guitar 23 away from the side of the sound hole 24. Compared with the design of the existing guitar 23 humidifier 1 in which the hygrometer 27 is set outside the sound hole 24, the humidifier 1 can avoid the influence of external environmental factors of the guitar 23 on the humidity value detected by the hygrometer 27, so that the data detected by the hygrometer 27 is more accurate.

[0027] The humidifier 1 can be installed at the sound hole 24 of the guitar 23 for a long time. Even in the process of playing the guitar 1, the position of the humidifier 1 will not hinder the user from plucking the strings outside the sound hole 24. At the same time, since the groove body 11 is located near the sound hole 24, the humidifier 1 can be filled with water without being disassembled, and the water filling operation of the humidifier 1 is relatively convenient. Moreover, when the humidifier 1 is connected to the guitar 23 using the card interface 15, the elastic member 8 in the card interface 15 clamps the wall surface of the guitar 23 outside the sound hole 24, so that the connection between the humidifier 1 and the guitar 23 is tighter, the position of the humidifier 1 is stably maintained, and it will not become loose without human operation. The design of the elastic member 8 can make the humidifier 1 adapt to guitars of different structures and board thicknesses, making it more adaptable.

[0028] When installing the humidifier 1, place the thumb in the finger position 9 and the index finger in the raised portion 10, and then push the humidifier 1 in the direction in which the card interface 15 cooperates with the wall surface of the guitar 23 outside the sound hole 24, so that the humidifier 1 is connected to the wall surface of the guitar 23 outside the sound hole 24 through the card interface 15, thereby completing the installation of the humidifier 1. When disassembling the humidifier 1, the position and method of placing the fingers on the surface of the humidifier 1 are the same. The finger position 9 and the raised portion 10 are set to form a fulcrum between the user's fingers and the humidifier 1, allowing the fingers to exert force better, so as to facilitate the user to complete the installation and disassembly operations of the humidifier 1.

[0029] In addition, in order to meet the humidification requirements of the guitar 23 during actual use, the sizes of the cavity 5 and the through holes on the shell 2 can be made larger to ensure rapid dissipation of moisture.

[0030] It needs to be further explained that, Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown in the figure, a protrusion 12 is provided on the end face of the cover body 3 outside the finger position 9, the end of the protrusion 12 is connected to the finger position 9 and the cross-sectional shape of the two is the same, and the end face of the protrusion 12 away from the finger position 9 is a slope whose height increases with the distance from the finger position 9.

[0031] Among them, the setting of the protrusion 12 can further expand the space at the finger position 9, so that the finger position 9 can adapt to fingers of different sizes, allowing the user to easily place the finger on the side of the finger position 9 to install and remove the humidifier 1. At the same time, the part where the inclined surface of the protrusion 12 is located can provide an additional placement position for the finger when the finger cannot be placed in the finger position 9 during the installation of the humidifier 1, thereby forming a finger fulcrum on the top surface of the humidifier 1, making it convenient for the finger to exert force to push the humidifier 1, making the connection operation between the humidifier 1 and the guitar 23 more convenient.

[0032] It needs to be further explained that, Figure 5 As shown, the end surface of the protrusion 10 and the side away from the groove body 11 are provided with anti-slip grooves 13.

[0033] In the process of humidification assembly and disassembly, when the finger is placed on the end surface of the protrusion 10 away from the groove body 11, the anti-slip groove 13 can increase the friction between the finger and the protrusion 10, thereby increasing the adhesion of the finger, so that the finger will not slip in the process of pushing the humidifier 1 to achieve its connection to the guitar 23, making the connection operation of the humidifier 1 and the guitar 23 faster and more efficient.

[0034] It needs to be further explained that, Figure 5 As shown, both sides of one end of the fixing frame 6 are provided with hook-shaped and elastic clamping parts 14, and the end side wall of the shell 2 away from the port 4 is provided with a clamping hole 26. The fixing frame 6 is clamped in the clamping hole 26 through the clamping part 14 to achieve a detachable connection with the shell 2.

[0035] In the process of connecting the fixing frame 6 to the shell 2 along the direction in which the clamping portion 14 cooperates with the clamping hole 26, the clamping portion 14 can move in and out of the clamping hole 26 through the elastic deformation of the clamping portion 14, thereby realizing the detachable connection of the fixing frame 6. When the fixing frame 6 is damaged, the damaged fixing frame 6 can be removed from the humidifier 1 for replacement without replacing the entire humidifier 1, thereby reducing the use cost of the humidifier 1.

[0036] It needs to be further explained that, Figure 1 As shown, a plurality of convex strips 16 distributed along the axial direction of the first matching groove 7 are provided on the circumferential surface of the fixing frame 6 in the first matching groove 7 .

[0037] Among them, the protrusion 16 can further fix the position of the hygrometer 27 detachably connected to the first matching groove 7 after being installed in the first matching groove 7, and the hygrometer 27 fitted in the first matching groove 7 will not become loose, thereby preventing the hygrometer 27 from falling out of the first matching groove 7 without human operation.

[0038] It needs to be further explained that, Figure 2 As shown, the shell 2 outside the card interface 15 is provided with one or more first connecting grooves 17, one end of the elastic member 8 is engaged in the first connecting groove 17 and is provided with a connecting hole 18, and the direction of the elastic force of the elastic member 8 is away from the direction of the end where the cover body 3 and the port 4 are engaged.

[0039] Among them, when the humidifier 1 is installed, the number of elastic members 8 installed on the first connecting groove 17 in the card interface 15 can be adjusted according to the clamping force required by the card interface 15 on the wall of the guitar 23 when the humidifier 1 is connected to the guitar 23, so as to avoid the elastic members 8 excessively clamping the wall of the guitar 23 and causing scratches or cracks on the surface of the guitar 23. Since the card interface 15 is connected in a manner of parallel clamping to the wall of the guitar 23, the direction of the elastic force of the elastic member 8 is toward the direction away from the end portion where the cover body 3 and the port 4 are matched, that is, it is pressed against the inner wall of the guitar 23 to stabilize the clamping effect of the card interface 15 on the wall of the guitar 23.

[0040] It needs to be further explained that, Figure 2 As shown, a second connecting groove 19 is provided at the end of the card interface 15 away from the elastic sheet, and a gasket 20 is provided in the second connecting groove 19 .

[0041] The gasket 20 can provide a buffer when the elastic force of the elastic member 8 is too large, thereby preventing the surface of the guitar 23 from being scratched or broken due to the excessive elastic force of the elastic member 8 during the humidification assembly and disassembly process.

[0042] It needs to be further explained that, Figure 4 As shown, the edge of the port 4 is provided with a second matching groove 21, the contour of the second matching groove 21 is the same as the contour of the edge portion of the port 4 other than the protrusion 10, and the end surface of the cover body 3 away from the finger position 9 is provided with a convex edge 22 with the same contour as the second matching groove 21.

[0043] Among them, when the cover body 3 is installed on the port 4 of the shell 2, the cover body 3 can be installed on the shell 2 along the direction of the engagement between the convex edge 22 and the second mating groove 21. The setting of the convex edge 22 and the second mating groove 21 facilitates the positioning of the cover body 3 and the shell 2, making the operation of engaging the cover body 3 with the port 4 of the shell 2 faster.

[0044] It needs to be further explained that, Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 2 , the dial surface of the hygrometer 27 is provided with a sector-shaped and equally divided marking area 28 , and the dial surface outside the marking area 28 is provided with scale values ​​29 .

[0045] The dial surface of the hygrometer 27 has an additional marking area 28, and the equally divided sections of the marking area 28 are symmetrically distributed on the dial surface. For example, when the humidifier 1 is in use, the marking area 28 is equally divided into five sections, and the three colors of green, yellow, and red are applied to each of these five sections in a spatially symmetrical manner. The colors represent the current humidity levels inside the guitar 23. The specific number of sections into which the marking area 28 is divided and the colors used to represent the humidity levels can be determined based on the user's desired level of humidity accuracy. The use of this feedback method for the humidity level inside the guitar provides the user with the most intuitive prompt. The user no longer needs to rely on a few safety values ​​on the memorized scale value 29 to determine whether to add water to the humidifier 1. Instead, the user can directly determine whether water addition is required based on the color of the area where the pointer is located, making the use of the humidifier 1 more convenient and flexible.

[0046] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification is described in terms of implementation methods, not every implementation method contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
