Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of guzheng headstock technology, specifically to a crack-resistant guzheng headstock. Background Technology

[0002] The guzheng's body decoration has always been made from natural wood and crafted by hand. These woods are chosen not only for their captivating colors and unique grains, but also for their superior acoustic properties, which provide a rich and profound tone. During the guzheng's production, artisans use meticulous carving and inlay techniques to create exquisite artistic patterns on the body, further enhancing the instrument's artistic value.

[0003] When using the guzheng daily, the headstock is prone to collisions with other parts of the instrument. Repeated collisions can damage the headstock, and after prolonged use, the headstock may crack, affecting the sound production and resonance of the guzheng. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a crack-resistant guzheng headstock that solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An embodiment of this utility model provides a crack-resistant guzheng headstock, comprising:

[0007] Resonance box;

[0008] The pillars, mounted on the surface of the soundbox, are used to secure the strings and control the tone.

[0009] The strings are installed on the surface of the bridge and are used to cooperate with the bridge to make the guzheng play.

[0010] The sound hole is located on the lower surface of the resonating box and is used to emit the sound played on the guzheng.

[0011] Protective devices are installed on the side walls of the resonator to prevent cracking and wear.

[0012] A limiting device is installed on the lower surface of the resonator box to limit and fix the resonator box to the support.

[0013] Furthermore, the protective device includes four sliding plates, all of which are slidably connected to the lower surface of the resonator. The four sliding plates are arranged in pairs, and a series plate is fixedly connected to the side of each pair of sliding plates that is close to each other. A round rod is fixedly connected to the surface of each of the four sliding plates, and a cylinder is rotatably connected to the surface of the round rod. Two elastic plates are fixedly connected to the surface of the cylinder, and both elastic plates are V-shaped. A protective sleeve is slidably connected to the surface of each elastic plate. The protective sleeve is made of fiberglass and resin.

[0014] Through the above technical solution, the protective cover is slidably installed on the surface of the resonator, so that the resonator will not be damaged by friction when it comes into contact with other objects, thereby improving its service life.

[0015] Furthermore, two torsion springs are fitted on the surface of the round rod, and the two ends of the two torsion springs are fixedly connected to the slide plate and the cylinder, respectively.

[0016] With the above technical solution, the torsion spring can drive the cylinder to rotate upward after the slide plate slides to a fixed position, without the need for manual operation by the staff.

[0017] Furthermore, an anti-slip pad is glued to the surface of the elastic plate, and the anti-slip pad is made of rubber.

[0018] With the above technical solution, after the protective sleeve is installed, the elastic plate expands outward to the side. At this time, the anti-slip pad contacts the inner wall of the protective sleeve, which can increase friction and improve the stability of the installation.

[0019] Furthermore, the surface of the elastic plate is provided with rectangular holes.

[0020] With the above technical solution, when the protective cover is slidably installed, the workers can use the rectangular holes to bring the two elastic plates closer together, which facilitates the installation and removal of the protective cover.

[0021] Furthermore, the limiting device includes two connecting plates, both of which are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the resonating box. A rotating plate is rotatably connected to the surface of each of the two connecting plates, and a screw is threadedly connected to the surface of the rotating plate. One end of the screw is rotatably connected to a pressure plate.

[0022] Through the above technical solution, the pressure plate is driven by the screw to press against the surface of the support frame (the placement bracket of the resonator), which can improve the stability of the resonator and prevent it from moving when playing the guzheng.

[0023] Furthermore, two limiting rods are slidably connected to the surface of the rotating plate, and one end of each limiting rod is fixedly connected to the pressure plate.

[0024] Through the above technical solution, the limiting rod can limit the pressure plate, so that the pressure plate will not rotate at the same time as the screw.

[0025] Furthermore, a number of protective strips are fixedly connected to one side of the pressure plate, and all of the protective strips are made of sponge material.

[0026] With the above technical solution, the protective strip is made of soft material, which will not damage the surface of the support frame when it comes into contact with it.

[0027] The above-described solution of this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0028] 1. This utility model, by setting a protective device, places the protective cover on the surface of the resonator, so that when the resonator comes into contact with other objects, the protective cover will make contact first, reducing the damage to the resonator itself and reducing wear and tear during daily use, thereby improving the service life of the guzheng itself.

[0029] 2. This utility model, by setting a limiting device, can simply press and limit the resonator when it is placed on the surface of the support frame, so that the resonator will not slide and move during the guzheng performance, thus facilitating the stable performance of the guzheng.

Detailed Implementation

[0037] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a crack-resistant guzheng headstock, comprising:

[0039] The resonator 1; the pillar 2, installed on the surface of the resonator 1, is used to fix the strings 3 and control the tone; the strings 3, installed on the surface of the pillar 2, are used to cooperate with the pillar 2 to play the guzheng; the sound hole 4 is opened on the lower surface of the resonator 1 to emit the sound played by the guzheng; the protective device 5 is set on the side wall of the resonator 1 to prevent the resonator 1 from cracking and wearing; the limiting device 6 is set on the lower surface of the resonator 1 to limit and fix the resonator 1 to the support.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the protective device 5 includes four sliding plates 51, each of which is slidably connected to the lower surface of the resonator 1. The four sliding plates 51 are arranged in pairs, with a connecting plate 52 fixedly connected to the side of each pair of sliding plates 51 closest to each other. A round rod 56 is fixedly connected to the surface of each of the four sliding plates 51. A cylinder 53 is rotatably connected to the surface of the round rod 56. Two elastic plates 54 are fixedly connected to the surface of the cylinder 53. Both elastic plates 54 are V-shaped, and protective sleeves 55 are slidably connected to the surface of each elastic plate 54. The protective sleeves 55 are made of fiberglass and resin. The protective sleeves 55 are slidably installed on the surface of the resonator 1, preventing friction damage to the resonator 1 when it comes into contact with other objects, thus improving its service life. The surface of the round rod 56... Two torsion springs 57 are fitted, with their ends fixedly connected to the slide plate 51 and the cylinder 53, respectively. After the slide plate 51 slides to a fixed position, the torsion springs 57 drive the cylinder 53 to rotate upwards without manual operation. An anti-slip pad 58 made of rubber is glued to the surface of the elastic plate 54. After the protective sleeve 55 is installed, the elastic plate 54 expands outwards to the side. At this time, the anti-slip pad 58 contacts the inner wall of the protective sleeve 55, which increases friction and improves the stability of the installation. A rectangular hole 59 is opened on the surface of the elastic plate 54. When the protective sleeve 55 is slidably installed, the operator can use the rectangular hole 59 to bring the two elastic plates 54 closer together, which facilitates the installation and removal of the protective sleeve 55.

[0041] In this embodiment of the utility model (working principle), the two sliding plates 51 are pulled outward by the connecting plate 52. When the position of the elastic plate 54 protrudes from the lower surface of the resonant box 1, the cylinder 53 connected to the elastic plate 54 will be driven upward by the torsion spring 57. At this time, the elastic plate 54 can be placed in a vertical state. Then, the worker can first align the hole of the protective sleeve 55 with the position of the elastic plate 54. Further, the worker can place the tool at the position of the rectangular hole 59 to bring the two elastic plates 54 closer to each other. At this time, the anti-slip sleeve has no resistance and can be installed quickly. After the installation is completed, the elastic plate 54 is released. The elastic plate 54 rebounds into the hole of the protective sleeve 55 and will abut against the inner wall of the hole. At this time, the anti-slip pad 58 contacts the inner wall, which can increase the stability of the protective sleeve 55 during installation.

[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the limiting device 6 includes two connecting plates 61, both of which are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the resonator 1. A rotating plate 62 is rotatably connected to the surface of each connecting plate 61. A screw 65 is threadedly connected to the surface of the rotating plate 62, and a pressure plate 63 is rotatably connected to one end of the screw 65. The pressure plate 63 is driven by the screw 65 to press against the surface of the support frame (the placement bracket of the resonator 1), which improves the stability of the resonator 1 and prevents it from moving during guzheng playing. Two limiting rods 66 are slidably connected to the surface of the rotating plate 62, and one end of each limiting rod 66 is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 63. The limiting rods 66 can limit the pressure plate 63, preventing it from rotating simultaneously with the screw 65. Several protective strips 64 are fixedly connected to one side of the pressure plate 63. The protective strips 64 are made of sponge material, a soft material that will not damage the surface of the support frame when in contact with it.

[0043] In this embodiment of the utility model, the rotating plate 62 is flipped so that the screw 65 is at the bottom position. Then, the support frame is placed on the upper surface of the connecting plate 61. The operator rotates the screw 65, which drives the pressure plate 63 to move towards the support frame. The pressure plate 63 then presses against the surface of the support frame, thus completing the connection between the support frame and the resonating box 1. The surface of the pressure plate 63 has a protective strip 64, which can prevent damage to the support frame during the pressing process.

[0044] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
