[0002] Among the various types of musical instruments in my country, metal idiophones hold a very important position and have the longest history, dating back to the Shang Dynasty three thousand years ago. The chime bells are a type of metal idiophone, consisting of knob bells and gong bells, cast from a single piece of bronze. They possess a wide range and a rich, resonant tone. Research shows that striking hollow aluminum tubes can produce a clear, resonant sound, but currently, there are no metal idiophones made using aluminum tubes. Utility Model Content

Two side support frames are provided at both ends of the upper frame and are slidably installed with the first sliding sleeves. Screws are threadedly installed on the side walls of the first sliding sleeves to fix the first sliding sleeves to the side support frames. The upper frame is a rectangular frame structure. Several suspension cables are fixed at equal intervals along the length of the two long sides of the upper frame. Buckles are fixed at the lower ends of the suspension cables. Hollow aluminum tubes are suspended below the suspension cables, and the lengths of adjacent hollow aluminum tubes are different.
[0006] Furthermore, the hollow aluminum tube includes a tube body with a thickness not exceeding five millimeters. Several protruding ridges are formed in a ring array on the inner wall of the tube body, and a sealing ring connecting all the protruding ridges is integrally formed at the upper end of the tube body.
[0007] Furthermore, a retaining plate is slidably installed inside the upper end of the tube body. The edge of the retaining plate is formed with at least two protrusions that match the width of the groove between the convex ridges. A lifting ring is rotatably installed in the center of the retaining plate, and the buckle is hooked on the lifting ring.
[0008] Furthermore, a support mechanism is fixed to the lower end of the side support frame, and the support mechanism is either a support leg or a caster wheel.
[0009] Furthermore, the lower ends of the two side support frames are connected as one unit by a detachable connecting beam.
[0010] Furthermore, a vertically arranged vertical guide column is fixed on the upper surface of the middle part of the connecting beam, and a reinforcing beam corresponding to the position of the vertical guide column is fixed on the upper frame. A second sliding sleeve that cooperates with the vertical guide column is fixed on the reinforcing beam, and a screw that fixes the second sliding sleeve and the vertical guide column together is installed on the side wall of the second sliding sleeve by thread.
[0011] Furthermore, a limiting seat is fixed on the side wall of the vertical guide column, and at least one striking device is movably placed on the limiting seat.
[0012] Furthermore, the tapper includes a tapping head, one end of which is fixed with an adjustable length connecting tube, and the end of the adjustable length connecting tube away from the tapping head is fixed with an anti-slip handle.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model by adopting the above technical solution are as follows: by reasonably setting the structure of the hollow aluminum tube and processing the protruding ridges on the inner wall of the tube, the sound quality of the hollow aluminum tube can be improved; by suspending hollow aluminum tubes of different lengths on the upper frame, the range of the instrument can be increased; the height of the upper frame is adjustable and detachable, which facilitates installation, transportation and height adjustment according to the user's height; the hollow aluminum tubes are suspended by buckles, which facilitates installation and disassembly.

[0025] like Figures 1-7 As shown, an aluminum tube sounding instrument includes an upper frame 3. Two first sliding sleeves 4 are symmetrically fixed at the middle of both ends of the upper frame 3. Two side support frames 1 are provided at both ends of the upper frame 3 and are slidably installed with the first sliding sleeves 4. Screws are threadedly installed on the side walls of the first sliding sleeves 4 to fix the first sliding sleeves 4 and the side support frames 1 together. The height of the upper frame 3 can be adjusted by the screws. The upper frame 3 is a rectangular frame structure. Several suspension cables 5 are fixed at equal intervals along the length of the two long sides of the upper frame 3. Buckles 6 are fixed at the lower ends of the suspension cables 5. Hollow aluminum tubes 7 are suspended below the suspension cables 5. The lengths of two adjacent hollow aluminum tubes 7 are different, forming at least two sets of percussion tube groups. Each set of tube groups has multiple ranges. Preferably, each set includes at least 7 hollow aluminum tubes 7, which is convenient for playing music.
[0026] In this embodiment, the hollow aluminum tube 7 includes a tube body 71 with a thickness of no more than five millimeters. The inner wall of the tube body 71 is formed with a number of protruding ridges 72 in a ring array, which can improve the sound quality of the hollow aluminum tube 7. The upper end of the tube body 71 is integrally formed with a sealing ring 73 that connects all the protruding ridges 72, which facilitates the installation of the mounting plate 8.
[0027] In this embodiment, a clamping plate 8 is slidably installed inside the upper end of the tube body 71. The edge of the clamping plate 8 is formed with at least two protrusions that match the width of the groove between the convex ribs 72. A lifting ring 9 is rotatably installed in the center of the clamping plate 8. The buckle 6 is hooked on the lifting ring 9 to facilitate the hoisting of the hollow aluminum tube 7.
[0028] In this embodiment, a support mechanism 2 is fixed at the lower end of the side support frame 1. The support mechanism 2 is a caster wheel, which facilitates movement.
[0029] In this embodiment, the lower ends of the two side support frames 1 are connected as one unit by a detachable connecting beam 10, which can improve the overall strength and at the same time avoid damage to the first sliding sleeve 4.
[0030] In this embodiment, a vertically arranged vertical guide column 11 is fixed on the upper end face of the middle part of the connecting beam 10, and a reinforcing beam 14 corresponding to the position of the vertical guide column 11 is fixed on the upper frame 3. A second sliding sleeve 15 that cooperates with the vertical guide column 11 is fixed on the reinforcing beam 14. Screws that fix the second sliding sleeve 15 and the vertical guide column 11 together are installed on the side wall of the second sliding sleeve 15 by thread.
[0031] In this embodiment, a limiting seat 12 is fixed on the side wall of the vertical guide column 11, and at least one knocker 13 is movably placed on the limiting seat 12 to facilitate the removal and placement of the knocker 13.
[0032] In this embodiment, the tapper 13 includes a tapping head 132. One end of the tapping head 132 is fixed with an adjustable length connecting tube 131. The end of the adjustable length connecting tube 131 away from the tapping head 132 is fixed with an anti-slip handle 133. The adjustable length connecting tube 131 is composed of two tubes nested together. The outer tube and the inner tube are fixed by threads or set screws to facilitate length adjustment. The distance between the tapping head 132 and the anti-slip handle 133 can be adjusted by the adjustable length connecting tube 131, so that the user can adjust it to the optimal length according to their habits. The anti-slip handle 133 is a rubber sleeve or cotton cloth sleeve nested at the end of the adjustable length connecting tube 131.
