[0031] With the advancement of technology and the integration of cultures, the variety of musical instruments has increased significantly, from traditional pianos, violins, and guitars to modern electronic keyboards and synthesizers, each of which carries different musical styles and expressions. However, despite this rich variety of instruments, the learning process of playing these instruments generally involves a high learning cost.

[0032] Learning traditional musical instruments, such as piano and violin, often requires learners to have a certain foundation in music theory. The playing methods of these traditional instruments are relatively complicated and not easy for novices to learn.

[0033] The present invention provides a learning-friendly musical instrument 100 .

[0034] See also Figure 1-5 In one embodiment of the present invention, the portable musical instrument 100 includes:

[0035] A base 1 is provided with a moving part 2, and a plurality of trigger positions are provided at intervals around the moving part 2;

[0036] A sensing element, the sensing element being arranged on two sides of the moving element;

[0037] The electrically controlled sound-generating component is arranged inside the base 1 , and the induction element is electrically connected to the electrically controlled sound-generating component.

[0038] The technical solution of the present invention cooperates with a moving part 2 and a trigger position. During use, the user can operate the moving part 2 to move the moving part 2 toward different trigger positions. The sensing part senses the trigger position corresponding to the current moving part 2, and emits different notes through the electrically controlled sound-producing component electrically connected to the sensing part. The user can play music by operating the moving part 2. Compared with traditional musical instruments, the present invention provides a simpler way of playing and is also convenient for novices to get started.

[0039] It should be noted that the moving part 2 is movably connected to the base 1. The user can make the moving part 2 move in different interactive ways according to the structure of the moving part 2, such as pressing, pushing, sliding and rotating. According to the different movements of the moving part 2, the moving part 2 will move to different trigger positions or move towards different trigger positions, and the sensing part senses the current corresponding trigger position. After sensing, the sensing part will transmit an electrical signal to the electronically controlled pronunciation component. One trigger position corresponds to a note. When the movement of the moving part 2 is different, the electronically controlled pronunciation component receives different electrical signals. The electronically controlled pronunciation component includes an electric control part and a pronunciation part. After receiving the electrical signal, the electric control part performs judgment and processing and sends the electrical signal to the pronunciation part. The pronunciation part will emit a corresponding sound according to the electrical signal sent by the electric control part.

[0040] Optionally, the number of the trigger positions is preferably four, eight or twelve, the trigger positions are equidistantly distributed, and each trigger position corresponds to a different note.

[0041] It can be understood that, when the direction the user faces during use is defined as the front, when there are four trigger positions and one of the trigger positions is located at the front side of the moving part 2, the remaining trigger positions are located at the left side, right side and rear side of the moving part 2 respectively;

[0042] It can be understood that when the number of the trigger positions is eight and one of the trigger positions is located at the front side of the moving part 2, the remaining trigger positions are respectively located at the rear side, left side, right side, right front side, right rear side, left front side and left rear side of the moving part 2;

[0043] It can be understood that when the number of the trigger bits is twelve, the distribution positions of the trigger bits are similar to the twelve directions of the clock, and will not be described one by one here.

[0044] Optionally, the moving part 2 is a rocker, and the rocker is rotatably connected to the base 1.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, it can be understood that the user pushes the joystick to rotate in different directions to move to different trigger positions, so that the electronically controlled sound-producing component receives the corresponding electrical signal sent by the sensing part to emit different sounds. For example, when the trigger positions are eight, the eight trigger positions correspond to eight notes. When the joystick is pushed forward to the trigger position on the front side, the sound-emitting part emits the note C. The user can emit different sounds by pushing the joystick, which is convenient for the user to play. In combination with the music score with direction indication, the user's learning cost can be reduced, avoiding the need to learn the playing method before being proficient in playing instruments such as guitar.

[0046] It can be understood that the note corresponding to the trigger position on the front side can be any note among C, D, E, F, G, A, B, and C. For example, in one embodiment, when the rocker is pushed forward and rotated to the trigger position on the front side, the sounding member emits the note D. In another embodiment, when the rocker is pushed forward and rotated to the trigger position on the front side, the sounding member emits the note E. The note corresponding to the front side can be adjusted as needed, and will not be described one by one here.

[0047] It can be understood that when the moving part 2 is a rocker, the sensing part identifies the current position of the rocker, i.e. the tilt angle, direction, etc., to determine the trigger position of the rocker and transmit the result to the electronically controlled pronunciation component.

[0048] like Figure 2As shown, optionally, the moving part 2 is a pressing part, and the pressing part has multiple areas, and different areas correspond to different trigger positions. For example, when the number of trigger positions is eight, the pressing part can also be divided into eight corresponding areas, such as the front area, the rear area, the left area, etc. When the user presses the front area of ​​the pressing part, the sensing part senses that the moving part 2 corresponds to the trigger position on the front side, and the sounding part emits a corresponding note. The user can emit different sounds by pressing different positions of the pressing part, which is convenient for the user to play, and is combined with a music score with direction indications to reduce the user's learning cost.

[0049] It can be understood that by adopting the pressing member, the space required for carrying is further reduced, and it is also convenient for users to carry.

[0050] It can be understood that when the moving member 2 is a pressing member, the sensing member identifies the corresponding trigger position by identifying the current tilt direction of the pressing member or the part currently pressed by the pressing member.

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, optionally, the moving part 2 is a rotating ball, which is rotatably connected to the base 1. The user can rotate the rotating ball to rotate toward different trigger positions. The sensing part senses the trigger position corresponding to the rotation direction of the moving part 2 and transmits an electrical signal to the electrically controlled sound-producing component, thereby emitting a corresponding note. For example, when the rotating ball rotates to the front side, the sensing part senses that the moving part 2 corresponds to the trigger position on the front side, and the sound-producing part emits a corresponding note. The rotating ball can rotate infinitely, and the user can play music by rotating the rotating ball, which enhances the fun.

[0052] It can be understood that when the moving part 2 is the rotating ball, the sensor part identifies the rotation direction of the rotating ball, that is, the trigger position corresponding to the current rotation direction, and transmits it to the electronically controlled sound-generating component in the form of an electrical signal to emit the sound of the corresponding note.

[0053] Preferably, the moving part 2 is a resettable moving part 2. For example, when the moving part 2 is a rocker, after pushing the rocker, no subsequent operation is performed on the rocker, and the rocker will return to its initial position to facilitate the user to play music quickly. Pressing parts and the like are similar and will not be described here one by one.

[0054] It should be noted that, depending on the type of the moving part 2 , the adapted sensing part is different. For example, when the moving part 2 is a rotating ball, the sensing part is preferably an infrared photoelectric sensor.

[0055] It should be noted that the number of the sensing parts can be one or more. For example, when the moving part 2 is a rotating ball, the sensing part can be an infrared photoelectric sensor. For another example, when the moving part 2 is a pressing part, the sensing part can be a plurality of micro switches arranged on the side of the moving part 2.

[0056] It is understandable that the sensing components include infrared photoelectric sensors, Hall sensors, potentiometers, micro switches, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

[0057] Preferably, the portable musical instrument 100 further includes a tuning component 3, which is disposed on the base 1, and is electrically connected to the electronically controlled sound-producing component.

[0058] It should be noted that the tuning component 3 includes one or more adjustment members to adjust the pitch of the note corresponding to the trigger position and the overall octave higher or lower state. For example, after adjusting the tuning component 3 so that the note corresponding to the trigger position is an overall octave higher, when the sensing member senses that the moving member 2 currently corresponds to the trigger position located at the front side, the note it emits will be one octave higher than the note originally corresponding to the trigger position.

[0059] For example, when the tuning component 3 is adjusted to lower the overall note by a semitone, when the sensor senses that the current moving part 2 corresponds to the trigger position on the left, the note it emits will be a semitone lower than the note originally corresponding to the trigger position.

[0060] It can be understood that by cooperating with the tuning component 3 and the trigger position, more sounds can be emitted based on the trigger position, which is convenient for users to play different music and improves functionality.

[0061] It should be noted that the adjusting member includes a sliding potentiometer and / or a push button and / or an adjusting knob and / or a multi-function switch.

[0062] like Figure 4 As shown, it should be noted that, in one embodiment, the adjustment member is a cross-shaped keyboard, one side of which is used to control the note to be a semitone higher, the other side opposite to the side is used to control the note to be a semitone lower, and the remaining two sides are used to respectively raise and lower the note by an octave as a whole.

[0063] like Figure 1As shown, in another embodiment, the adjusting member is two groups of sliding resistors, one group of sliding resistors controls the overall raising or lowering of the note by a semitone, and the other group of sliding resistors controls the overall raising or lowering of the note by an octave. Both of the sliding resistors can slide in two directions, one direction controls the raising and the other direction controls the lowering. For example, when the user pushes the sliding resistor for controlling the pitch to one side, the overall note is raised by a semitone, and when it slides to the other side, the overall note is lowered by a semitone.

[0064] In another embodiment, the adjustment member is two groups of buttons, one group controls raising and lowering semitones, and the other group controls the overall higher octave and lower octave.

[0065] In yet another embodiment, the adjustment member is four buttons, which respectively control raising a semitone, lowering a semitone, an overall higher octave, and an overall lower octave.

[0066] It is understandable that the adjustment member can also be a multi-switch, such as a three-switch, wherein one of the three switches is the initial position, and the other two switches respectively control the increase and decrease of semitones, or control the overall high octave and low octave.

[0067] like Figure 3 As shown, optionally, the tuning member is an adjustment knob, and the user can control the pitch to be raised by a semitone or an octave higher by rotating it to one side, and can control the pitch to be lowered by a semitone or an octave lower by rotating it to the other side.

[0068] It is understandable that, for example, the sliding potentiometer and the three-way switch can be used in combination, one controls the upper and lower octaves, and the other controls the raising and lowering of semitones. The other adjustment parts can also be used in combination, which will not be described here one by one.

[0069] Preferably, the adjusting member is a resettable adjusting member. For example, when the adjusting member is a sliding potentiometer, after sliding the sliding potentiometer, no subsequent operation is performed on the sliding potentiometer, and the sliding potentiometer will return to its initial position, so that the user can quickly play music. Pressing keys, multiple switches and adjusting knobs are similar and will not be described one by one here.

[0070] Preferably, the plane where the tuning component 3 is located is adjacent to the plane where the moving part 2 is located.

[0071] like Figure 1As shown, it can be understood that for most people, the most flexible fingers are the index finger and the thumb. For example, when the moving part 2 is a rocker, it is most convenient to operate the rocker with the thumb. Because the tuning component 3 is located on the adjacent side of the rocker, the user can rotate the base 1 so that the tuning component 3 is located on the side close to the index finger for user adjustment. For example, when the tuning component 3 is two sets of sliding positioners, the thumb controls the moving part 2, and the index finger and middle finger can respectively control one set of sliding positioners. The user can complete the operation with one hand, which is convenient for the user to play music.

[0072] Preferably, the base 1 is further provided with a first shoulder key 4 and a second shoulder key 5, and the first shoulder key 4 and the second shoulder key 5 are both electrically connected to the electronically controlled sound producing component.

[0073] like Figure 1 As shown, the first shoulder key 4 and the second shoulder key 5 are located on the same side of the base 1 as the moving part 2. The first shoulder key 4 and the second shoulder key 5 respectively control sustain and transpose. The first shoulder key 4 and the second shoulder key 5 can achieve the effects of sustain and transpose, providing users with more sound types and facilitating users to play more types of music.

[0074] It should be noted that, by long pressing the second shoulder piece 5 for controlling the shift, the shift effect will be restored to the initial state.

[0075] Preferably, the portable musical instrument 100 further includes an indicator light group 6 , which is disposed on the base 1 and electrically connected to the electronically controlled sound-generating component.

[0076] The indicator light group 6 is electrically connected to the electrical control component, and its functions include prompting the trigger position corresponding to the current moving part 2 and / or prompting the next trigger position corresponding to the current music. The user can use the indicator light group 6 to determine the trigger position corresponding to the current moving part 2 and / or the next trigger position required to play, so as to facilitate the user's performance, and it can also provide an atmosphere light effect to increase fun.

[0077] Preferably, the indicator light group 6 includes eight indicator lights located around the moving part 2, and the indicator lights correspond to the trigger positions one by one. For example, when there are eight trigger positions, when the user manipulates the moving part 2 so that the moving part 2 corresponds to the trigger position located at the front side, the indicator light corresponding to the trigger position at the front side is also activated to prompt the user.

[0078] Or the next note required for the currently played music corresponds to the trigger position located on the left side of the moving part 2. After the previous note is played, the indicator light corresponding to the trigger position located on the left side is activated to prompt the user.

[0079] like Figure 5 As shown, optionally, the indicator light group 6 includes four indicator lights located on the side of the moving part 2. When the trigger position is four, the indicator lights are preferably four correspondingly arranged indicator lights to prompt the user.

[0080] like Figure 1 As shown, optionally, the indicator light group 6 includes an electrodeless light strip arranged on the side of the moving part 2, which can prompt the current corresponding trigger position and / or prompt the next corresponding trigger position and / or provide an atmosphere light effect similar to the indicator light.

[0081] It should be noted that the indicator light group 6 can also be used to prompt whether the adjustment of the tuning component 3 and / or the first shoulder key 4 and / or the second shoulder key 5 is successful. Other adjustments can also be reflected by the indicator light group 6, which will not be repeated here.

[0082] Preferably, the portable musical instrument 100 further includes a sound outlet 7 , and the sound outlet 7 is provided on a side adjacent to the tuning component 3 .

[0083] It can be understood that the sound outlet 7 is connected to the sound producing part. When the user operates the tuning component 3, the hand will come into contact with the side of the base 1 where the tuning component 3 is provided. By arranging the sound outlet 7 on the adjacent pulling surface of the tuning component 3, it can effectively avoid the sound outlet 7 being blocked by the user's hand when pronouncing, thereby causing the sound to be loud and soft, thereby ensuring smooth sound output.

[0084] Optionally, the sound outlet 7 is provided on a side of the base 1 away from the moving part 2 .

[0085] Preferably, there are two sound outlets 7 and they are respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the base 1 .

[0086] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, there are two sound outlets 7, and the two sound outlets 7 are located on opposite sides. Through the design of the two sound outlets 7, when users with different dominant hands cover one of the sound outlets 7, the other sound outlet 7 is ensured to be in an unobstructed state, thereby ensuring smooth sound output.

[0087] Preferably, the base 1 is further provided with a digit adjuster 8, and the digit adjuster 8 is electrically connected to the electronically controlled pronunciation component.

[0088] like Figure 3As shown, it should be noted that the number of trigger bits can be adjusted by the bit adjuster 8. For example, if there are currently four trigger bits, the user can adjust the adjuster to make the number of trigger bits eight, or twelve. Through the bit adjuster 8, the user can choose different modes according to his or her own needs. For example, when the song being played is relatively simple, the number of trigger bits can be selected as four. When the song being played becomes complicated, it can be switched to a mode with eight trigger bits, which is convenient for user learning.

[0089] Preferably, the base 1 is provided with an audio interface 9 and a data interface 10 .

[0090] like Figure 1 As shown, the audio interface 9 and the data interface 10 are both electrically connected to the electronically controlled sound-generating component. Other sound-generating devices can be connected externally through the audio interface 9, and charging and data transmission can be performed through the data interface 10, for example, music scores can be transmitted. Combined with the indicator light group 6, it facilitates user learning and increases the playability of the instrument.

[0091] It can be understood that when the moving part 2 is a rocker, the rocker emits the sound of any note after being pushed from the initial origin to one of the trigger positions. When the rocker swings directly from the trigger position to another trigger position, it also emits the sound of any note without returning to the origin.

[0092] It should be noted that when the speed of the moving part 2 is different, the sound volume emitted by the electronically controlled sound-generating component is also different. For example, when the moving part 2 is a rocker, the sound volume is determined by judging the speed between the center point of the rocker and the edge point of the rocker. When the speed is fast, the sound is loud, and when the speed is slow, the sound is small.

[0093] It is understandable that when the moving part 2 is a rotating ball, the volume of the sound is determined by judging the speed of the rotating ball.

[0094] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the technical concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
