Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of musical instrument manufacturing technology, specifically referring to a drum kit with shock absorption function. Background Technology

[0002] The drum kit, a percussion instrument widely used in modern music performance, plays a crucial role in various musical styles such as rock, pop, and jazz. Through combinations of different drum parts, it creates a rich variety of rhythms and melodies, adding vitality and passion to the music, making it an indispensable part of band performances.

[0003] However, existing drum kit technology presents several pressing issues. Take the snare drum, for example; it plays a crucial role in rhythmic support during a drum kit performance. However, the vibration damping capabilities of snare drums in most current drum kits need improvement. During actual performance, when a drummer strikes the snare drum forcefully, the strong vibrations generated are transmitted directly to the ground through the drum stand. This not only causes the drum to shift position easily, affecting performance stability, but also generates unnecessary noise, interfering with the overall musical effect. Furthermore, the lack of proper vibration damping design also subjects the drummer's hands to significant reaction forces during prolonged playing, leading to fatigue and reducing comfort and fluency. Therefore, developing a drum kit with highly efficient vibration damping is particularly necessary. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drum kit with shock absorption function. Through a unique structural design, it effectively reduces the transmission of drum body vibration to the ground, reduces noise, and at the same time ensures the stability of the drum body during performance, improving the drummer's playing comfort, thereby alleviating the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: a drum kit with shock absorption function, comprising a drum body, and further comprising:

[0006] The support mechanism includes a support shaft located longitudinally below the drum body, an upper support portion located on the support shaft for supporting the drum body, and a triangular support component located circumferentially below the support shaft and in contact with the ground.

[0007] The adaptive buffer mechanism includes a drum support tray located inside the upper support section and matching the bottom of the drum body, a positioning component located between the drum support tray and the drum body, an elastic buffer plate located inside the upper support section and below the drum support tray, and multiple elastic buffer balls evenly distributed circumferentially between the drum support tray and the elastic buffer plate.

[0008] The drum tray and the elastic buffer plate are each provided with corresponding grooves for accommodating the elastic buffer balls.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the triangular support component includes:

[0010] A bracket ring is fitted onto the lower part of the support shaft;

[0011] Three support legs are evenly distributed around the perimeter of the support ring. One end of each support leg is connected to the support ring, and the other end is in contact with the ground.

[0012] A lateral stabilizing ring is located above the outrigger to reduce the swaying of the outrigger.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that the lateral stabilizing ring comprises:

[0014] The ring is placed horizontally above each leg;

[0015] A connecting clamp is provided at the bottom of the ring body along the circumference, and the connecting clamp is fixed to the bottom end of each support leg in a one-to-one correspondence with the support leg.

[0016] The present invention is further configured such that the positioning component includes:

[0017] A positioning boss is located at the bottom of the drum body;

[0018] The positioning groove is located on the top of the drum tray and is adapted to the positioning boss.

[0019] The present invention is further configured such that a snap-fit ​​component is provided between the groove on the drum tray and the rubber ball, the snap-fit ​​component comprising:

[0020] A ring-shaped buckle is located in a groove on the drum tray;

[0021] An annular groove is formed along the periphery of the elastic buffer ball, and the annular groove is adapted to an annular buckle.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects that this utility model can achieve are:

[0025] 1. In the adaptive buffer mechanism, the drum support tray, elastic buffer plate and elastic buffer ball work together. When the drum vibrates, the elastic buffer ball deforms and buffers between the grooves of the drum support tray and the elastic buffer plate, effectively reducing the vibration amplitude of the drum and improving the playing experience.

[0026] 2. Through the cooperation of the support shaft, the upper bracket and the triangular bracket, the longitudinal setting of the support shaft provides stable vertical support, the upper bracket supports the drum body, and the triangular bracket contacts the ground to form a stable support structure, which improves the stability of the drum body placement.

[0027] 3. The annular buckle is located in the groove of the drum tray, and the annular groove is opened on the periphery of the elastic buffer ball and the two are compatible.

[0032] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. See also: Figure 1-3 :

[0033] Example 1:

[0034] This embodiment provides a drum kit with shock absorption function, including a drum body 1, and further including:

[0035] The support mechanism 2 includes a support shaft 20 arranged longitudinally below the drum body 1, an upper support part 21 arranged on the support shaft 20 for supporting the drum body 1, and a triangular support component 22 arranged circumferentially below the support shaft 20 and in contact with the ground.

[0036] The adaptive buffer mechanism 3 includes a drum support tray 30 located in the upper support portion 21 and matching the bottom of the drum body 1, a positioning component 31 located between the drum support tray 30 and the drum body 1, an elastic buffer plate 32 located in the upper support portion 21 and below the drum support tray 30, and a plurality of elastic buffer balls 33 evenly arranged circumferentially between the drum support tray 30 and the elastic buffer plate 32.

[0037] The drum tray 30 and the elastic buffer plate 32 are respectively provided with grooves 34 for accommodating the elastic buffer balls 33.

[0038] The support shaft 20, as the longitudinal core component of the entire drum frame support structure, provides vertical support for the drum body 1, ensuring that the drum body 1 is at a suitable height and stable position. The support shaft 20 is typically a columnar structure, longitudinally positioned directly below the drum body 1, serving to connect the drum body 1 to the lower support components. The support shaft 20 is generally fixedly connected to the upper support section 21, and the connection can be secured through welding, bolting, or other methods.

[0039] The upper support portion 21 supports the drum body 1, transferring its weight to the support shaft 20, and simultaneously provides installation space for the adaptive buffer mechanism 3. The upper support portion 21 can be a frame structure of a specific shape, such as a circular or square frame, mounted on the support shaft 20, located below the drum body 1, corresponding to the bottom of the drum body 1. The upper support portion 21 is fixedly connected to the support shaft 20 and is also installed in conjunction with components of the adaptive buffer mechanism 3, such as the drum support tray 30.

[0040] The triangular bracket component 22 serves as a connecting component for the legs 221, fixing the three legs 221 to the lower part of the support shaft 20 to ensure the relative position and stability of the legs 221.

[0041] The drum support tray 30 is used to support the drum body 1, providing a support platform for the drum body 1. It also serves as part of the adaptive buffer mechanism 3, transmitting vibrations experienced by the drum body 1 to the elastic buffer ball 33 and the elastic buffer plate 32. The drum support tray 30 is typically a disc-shaped structure, its shape matching the bottom of the drum body 1, and may be round or square, to ensure a good fit with the bottom of the drum body 1. The drum support tray 30 is located inside the upper support portion 21, directly below the bottom of the drum body 1, and in close contact with the drum body 1. The drum support tray 30 can be connected to the drum body 1 via the positioning component 31, and simultaneously connected to the elastic buffer ball 33 via the snap-fit ​​component 4. It is in a movable fit with the upper support portion 21, allowing it to move up and down within a certain range.

[0042] The positioning component 31 cooperates with the positioning groove 311 at the bottom of the drum body 1 to achieve precise positioning of the drum body 1 on the drum support tray 30, preventing the drum body 1 from shifting laterally during performance.

[0043] The elastic buffer plate 32 works in conjunction with the elastic buffer ball 33 to absorb and buffer the vibration energy transmitted from the drum body 1, further enhancing the shock absorption effect. The elastic buffer plate 32 has a plate-like structure, its shape is adapted to the drum support tray 30, and its size is slightly larger than the drum support tray 30 to ensure that it can completely cover the elastic buffer ball 33. The elastic buffer plate 32 is located inside the upper support part 21, below the drum support tray 30, maintaining a certain distance from the drum support tray 30, with the elastic buffer ball 33 placed in the middle. The elastic buffer plate 32 is fixedly connected to the upper support part 21, which can be fixed by bolts or other means.

[0044] The elastic buffer balls 33 undergo elastic deformation when the drum body 1 vibrates, absorbing and dispersing vibration energy to buffer and dampen shock. The elastic buffer balls 33 have a spherical structure and good elasticity. Multiple elastic buffer balls 33 are evenly distributed circumferentially within the groove 34 between the drum support tray 30 and the elastic buffer plate 32. The elastic buffer balls 33 can be connected to the groove 34 on the drum support tray 30 via the snap-fit ​​component 4 to prevent displacement during operation.

[0045] Example 2:

[0046] This embodiment provides a drum kit with shock absorption function, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.

[0047] The triangular support component 22 includes:

[0048] The bracket ring 220 is sleeved on the lower part of the support shaft 20;

[0049] Three support legs 221 are evenly distributed around the periphery of the support ring 220. One end of each support leg 221 is connected to the support ring 220, and the other end is in contact with the ground.

[0050] A lateral stabilizing ring is provided above the outrigger 221 to reduce the swaying of the outrigger 221.

[0051] The support ring 220, as a key component connecting the support shaft 20 and the legs 221, evenly fixes the legs 221 to the lower part of the support shaft 20, ensuring the relative position stability of each leg 221 and providing a stable support foundation for the entire drum kit, allowing it to remain stable during performance. The support ring 220 is a ring-shaped structure whose inner diameter matches the outer diameter of the lower part of the support shaft 20 for a tight fit. The support ring 220 is fitted onto the lower part of the support shaft 20, fitting snugly against it, and is located at the pivotal position connecting the legs 221 and the support shaft 20. The support ring 220 is typically fixed to the support shaft 20 using an interference fit or bolts, ensuring a secure connection that is not easily loosened.

[0052] The support legs 221 are in direct contact with the ground, distributing the weight of the drum kit across the floor and providing stable support to prevent it from wobbling or tipping over during performance. Support legs 221 are typically rod-shaped, with one end connected to the support ring 220 and the other end tapering to contact the ground, increasing the contact area and improving stability. The support legs 221 are evenly distributed around the perimeter of the support ring 220, with the three legs forming an equilateral triangle. This arrangement ensures a uniform distribution of the drum kit's center of gravity, enhancing stability. One end of each support leg 221 is securely connected to the support ring 220 via welding, bolting, or other mechanical means, ensuring a strong connection capable of withstanding tensile and compressive forces.

[0053] The lateral stabilizing ring is set above the legs 221 of the triangular bracket component 22, connecting the three legs 221 to form a stable overall structure, making the drum kit more stable when placed and used, and less likely to tip over.

[0054] Example 3:

[0055] This embodiment provides a drum kit with shock absorption function, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.

[0056] The lateral stabilizing ring includes:

[0057] The ring 2220 is placed horizontally above each leg 221;

[0058] A connecting clamp 2221 is provided circumferentially at the bottom of the ring body 2220, and the connecting clamp 2221 is fixed to the bottom end of each support leg 221 in a one-to-one correspondence with the support leg 221.

[0059] The ring 2220 is placed laterally above the support leg 221 to enhance the stability of the support leg 221, reduce its horizontal sway, and further improve the stability of the entire tripod component 22. The lateral stabilizing ring has an annular structure, its inner diameter large enough for the support leg 221 to pass through, while maintaining a certain gap to avoid hindering the installation and adjustment of the support leg 221. The lateral stabilizing ring can be fixedly connected to the support leg 221 via a connecting clamp 2221, ensuring that the ring 2220 and the support leg 221 form a unified whole, working together to provide stability.

[0060] The connecting plate 2221 firmly connects the ring body 2220 to the support leg 221, enabling the lateral stabilizing ring to effectively limit the swaying of the support leg 221 and enhance the overall stability of the triangular bracket component 22. The connecting plate 2221 is a plate-shaped structure, located circumferentially at the bottom of the ring body 2220, corresponding one-to-one with the support leg 221, and tightly fitting against the outside of the support leg 221. The connecting plate 2221 can be fixed to the ring body 2220 and the support leg 221 with bolts or other fasteners to ensure a tight connection and prevent loosening.

[0061] Example 4:

[0062] This embodiment provides a drum kit with shock absorption function, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.

[0063] The positioning component 31 includes:

[0064] A positioning boss 310 is located at the bottom of the drum body 1;

[0065] The positioning groove 311 is located on the top of the drum tray 30 and is adapted to the positioning boss 310.

[0066] The main function of the positioning boss 310 is to cooperate with the positioning groove 311 to achieve precise positioning of the drum body 1 on the drum support tray 30, preventing the drum body 1 from shifting due to striking force during performance, and ensuring the stability and continuity of the performance. The positioning boss 310 is a structure that protrudes outward from the bottom of the drum body 1, and its shape can be cylindrical, conical, or hemispherical, so as to fit tightly with the positioning groove 311. The positioning boss 310 and the drum body 1 can be integrally formed.

[0067] The positioning groove 311 and the positioning boss 310 work together to provide a positioning reference for the installation of the drum body 1 on the drum support tray 30, ensuring the accurate installation position of the drum body 1 and preventing the drum body 1 from moving during performance. The positioning groove 311 is a recessed structure opened on the top of the drum support tray 30, and its shape is adapted to the positioning boss 310. As part of the drum support tray 30, the positioning groove 311 is integrally formed with the drum support tray 30, without the need for additional connection processes.

[0068] Example 5:

[0069] This embodiment provides a drum kit with shock absorption function, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.

[0070] A latching component 4 is provided between the groove 34 on the drum tray 30 and the rubber ball, the latching component 4 comprising:

[0071] A ring-shaped buckle 40 is provided in the groove 34 on the drum tray 30;

[0072] An annular groove 41 is formed along the periphery of the elastic buffer ball 33, and the annular groove 41 is adapted to the annular buckle 40.

[0073] The annular buckle 40 engages with the annular groove 41 to securely fix the elastic buffer ball 33 within the groove 34 of the drum support tray 30. This prevents the elastic buffer ball 33 from shifting or falling off due to external forces such as vibration and impact during drum frame operation, ensuring the normal operation of the adaptive buffer mechanism 3 and maintaining a stable shock absorption effect. The annular buckle 40 has an annular protruding structure, and its cross-sectional shape can be rectangular, trapezoidal, or semi-circular, etc., allowing it to tightly engage with the annular groove 41 to ensure reliable connection. The annular buckle 40 is located within the groove 34 on the drum support tray 30 for accommodating the elastic buffer ball 33, encircling the groove 34 and corresponding to the annular groove 41 on the side of the elastic buffer ball 33. The connection between the annular buckle 40 and the drum support tray 30 can be integrally formed.

[0074] The annular groove 41 and the annular buckle 40 cooperate with each other to provide a structural basis for the connection between the elastic buffer ball 33 and the drum tray 30, achieving a reliable connection between the two and ensuring that the elastic buffer ball 33 plays a buffering and shock-absorbing role in the specified position. The annular groove 41 is an annular recess structure opened along the periphery of the elastic buffer ball 33, and its shape and size are adapted to the annular buckle 40 to ensure that the two can fit tightly. As an inherent structure of the elastic buffer ball 33, the annular groove 41 is integrally formed with the elastic buffer ball 33, requiring no additional connection process.

[0075] Example 6:

[0076] This embodiment provides a drum kit with shock absorption function, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.

[0077] A shock-absorbing pad 5 is provided between the drum body 1 and the drum support tray 30.

[0078] The vibration damping pad 5 is mainly used to reduce the vibration transmission between the drum body 1 and the drum support tray 30, playing a buffering and shock-absorbing role, reducing noise caused by vibration, and protecting the drum body 1 and the drum support tray 30 from damage due to long-term vibration and friction. The vibration damping pad 5 is usually composed of a sheet-like body, the shape of which is adapted to the contact area of ​​the bottom of the drum body 1 and the drum support tray 30. It is generally a regular shape such as round or square to ensure full coverage of the contact area and even distribution of vibration. The vibration damping pad 5 is usually tightly attached to the drum body 1 and the drum support tray 30 by its own elasticity and friction, without the need for additional fixing connection. This ensures the vibration damping effect and facilitates installation and replacement.

[0079] Example 7:

[0080] This embodiment provides a drum kit with shock absorption function, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.

[0081] The shock-absorbing pad 5 has a plurality of longitudinally opened honeycomb openings 6, and the honeycomb openings 6 are filled with viscous damping material 7.

[0082] The presence of honeycomb openings 6 provides space for the viscous damping material 7. Through its unique honeycomb structure, it increases the path and number of reflections of vibrations within the material, enhancing the absorption and dispersion of vibration energy and effectively improving the damping performance of the shock-absorbing pad 5. The honeycomb openings 6 are a series of longitudinally oriented holes in the shock-absorbing pad 5. These holes are independent of each other and arranged regularly, resembling a honeycomb shape. As part of the shock-absorbing pad 5, the honeycomb openings 6 are integrally formed with it, requiring no additional connecting process.

[0083] The viscous damping material 7 is filled inside the honeycomb opening 6. Utilizing its viscoelastic properties, it generates internal friction under vibration, converting vibrational energy into heat energy, which is then dissipated. This significantly enhances the damping capacity of the shock-absorbing pad 5 and effectively reduces the transmission of vibration from the drum body 1 to the drum support tray 30. After filling, the viscous damping material 7 conforms to the internal shape of the honeycomb opening 6, filling the entire space of the honeycomb opening 6. The viscous damping material 7 is fixed inside the honeycomb opening 6 by filling, relying on its own adhesion to tightly adhere to the inner wall of the honeycomb opening 6, without requiring any other connection methods.

[0084] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
