Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drum musical instrument technology, and in particular to a drum pedal with rapid reset. Background Technology
[0002] As a core control component of percussion instruments, the drum pedal's return speed and continuity of action directly affect the rhythmic accuracy and dynamic performance of the performance. Traditional mechanical drum pedals mostly employ a spring-loaded return structure, using a rigid connection between the pedal and the drumstick to drive the hammer to strike the drumhead. However, this design has significant drawbacks: the impact vibration generated at the moment the hammer contacts the drumhead is directly transmitted to the pedal, accelerating component wear and reducing the consistency of action. Furthermore, conventional release mechanisms rely on complex linkages or friction braking to achieve hammer return, resulting in structural redundancy, difficulty in adjustment, and susceptibility to fatigue failure.
[0003] Among existing improvement solutions, some designs attempt to optimize reset performance through multi-stage springs or damping systems, but it is difficult to balance the contradiction between rebound speed and impact buffering. While electromagnetic or pneumatic assisted reset solutions can improve response speed, they significantly increase structural complexity and cost, and rely on external energy supply, limiting application scenarios. On the other hand, traditional mechanical snap-lock release mechanisms are prone to misalignment or incomplete reset due to inertia during high-speed operation. Especially during the hammer head rebound phase, noise may be generated due to collision of connecting parts, affecting the playing experience.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide an improved technical solution to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0031] Example 1:
[0032] This embodiment provides a drum pedal for rapid reset, including:
[0033] Base 1;
[0034] The first frame 2 is fixedly connected to the base 1;
[0035] Rotary shaft 3 is rotatably connected to the first frame 2;
[0036] Pedal 4, by operating pedal 4, drives the drumstick to rotate;
[0037] Spring mechanism 5 is used to reset pedal 4 to its original position;
[0038] Reset mechanism, used to reset the position of the drumstick;
[0039] The feature is that the pedal 4 is connected to the drumstick via a release mechanism 6;
[0040] The tripping mechanism 6 includes:
[0041] A first connecting part 601 is provided at one end of the swinging pedal 4;
[0042] The second connecting part 602 is provided at the hinge end of the drumstick. The second connecting part 602 is hinged to the first connecting part 601. When the drumstick strikes the drum surface, the first connecting part 601 and the second connecting part 602 are disconnected. When the initial position is returned, the first connecting part 601 and the second connecting part 602 are hinged to each other again.
[0043] The first connecting part 601 includes a connecting groove 6011. The second connecting part 602 is provided with a connecting part that engages with the connecting groove 6011. The inner walls on both sides of the connecting groove 6011 are provided with grooves 6012. The two sides of the connecting block are provided with hemispherical protrusions that engage with the grooves 6012. When the connecting block comes out of the connecting groove 6011, the connecting groove 6011 expands elastically.
[0044] The base 1 is made of stamped metal sheet and has an anti-slip rubber pad on the bottom to stably support the entire pedal 4 structure.
[0045] The first frame 2 is vertically welded to the base 1, and has a shaft hole at the top for mounting the rotating shaft 3.
[0046] The rotating shaft 3 passes through the shaft hole of the first frame 2 and is rotatably connected through bearings. Limiting rings are fixed at both ends of the rotating shaft 3 to prevent axial movement.
[0047] The pedal 4 has one end hinged to an eccentric rod set on the side wall of the rotating shaft 3, and the other end hinged to the base 1. The body is provided with a footrest for easy placement of the foot. A spring mounting seat is welded under the pedal 4.
[0048] The drumstick includes a hinged end and a mallet end. The hinged end is connected to the first frame 2 by being fixed on the rotating shaft 3, and the mallet end is fixed with a drumstick for striking the drumhead.
[0049] The spring mechanism 5 is a compression spring, one end of which is fixed to the spring mounting base below the pedal 4, and the other end abuts against the base 1, which is used to provide the elastic force for the pedal 4 to return to its original position.
[0050] The reset mechanism is a torsion spring sleeved on the rotating shaft 3, with its two ends abutting against the drumstick and the first frame 2 respectively, and is used to drive the drumstick to reset to the initial position.
[0051] The specific structure of the tripping mechanism 6:
[0052] First connecting part 601: Located at the top of the swing end of pedal 4, it is a U-shaped connecting groove 6011 with the groove opening facing the direction of the eccentric rod provided on the drumstick.
[0053] The second connecting part 602 is located on the eccentric rod at the hinge end of the drumstick (the eccentric rod is for increasing the lever arm), and is a connecting block that matches the U-shaped groove, with hemispherical protrusions on both sides.
[0054] Disengagement process: When the pedal 4 is pressed, the U-shaped groove of the first connecting part 601 engages with the second connecting part 602 through the protrusion, driving the drumstick to rotate around the hinge axis, so that the hammer head strikes the drum surface; at the moment of impact, the drumstick is subjected to the reaction force of the drum surface, and the protrusion disengages from the groove 6012 of the U-shaped groove, realizing the disconnection of the first connecting part 601 and the second connecting part 602.
[0055] Reset process: The pedal 4 rebounds under the action of the spring mechanism 5, and at the same time the drumstick is reset under the drive of the torsion spring. At this time, the elastic sidewall of the U-shaped groove expands, and the protrusion re-engages into the groove 6012, completing the connection restoration.
[0056] It should be noted that the positions of the first connecting part 601 and the second connecting part 602 can be interchanged. That is, a U-shaped connecting groove 6011 is provided on the end of the eccentric rod at the hinge end of the drumstick, and a connecting block is provided on the end of the pedal 4.
[0057] It should be noted that the rotating rod and the first frame 2 can also be fixedly connected. In this case, the drumstick and the rotating rod are rotatably connected. The reset method of the drumstick can also be the method of limiting and eccentric counterweight. For example, an eccentric rod is set, and a counterweight is provided on the eccentric rod. The counterweight drives the drumstick to swing to the initial position, and a limiting part is provided at the initial position to prevent the drumstick from moving further.
[0058] The drumstick is quickly reset by a quick release mechanism, preventing damage to the drumhead from excessive stomping force, eliminating mechanical vibration caused by traditional rigid connections, and eliminating abnormal noise.
[0059] Example 2:
[0060] This embodiment provides a drum pedal for quick reset, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.
[0061] The first connecting part 601 and the second connecting part 602 are magnetically connected.
[0062] The first connecting part 601 is replaced with a permanent magnet and embedded in the top of the swing end of the pedal 4.
[0063] The second connecting part 602 is replaced with a magnetic metal block, which is fixed to the hinge end of the drumstick.
[0064] Tripping and Reset: When pedal 4 is pressed down, the magnetic attraction drives the drumstick to rotate; when the hammer head contacts the drum surface, the impact force overcomes the magnetic attraction and separates the two; during the reset process, the magnetic attraction re-attracts the magnetic block, realizing automatic connection.
[0065] Example 3:
[0066] This embodiment provides a drum pedal for quick reset, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.
[0067] A sliding groove is provided on the inner wall of the connecting groove 6011 to allow the protrusion to quickly disengage and reposition.
[0068] The inner wall of the U-shaped connecting groove 6011 has grooves on both sides, and nylon guide strips are embedded in the grooves to reduce sliding friction of the protrusions.
[0069] The inlet of the groove 6012 is provided with an inclined guide surface, which facilitates the elastic expansion of the U-shaped groove sidewall when the protrusion comes out.
[0070] There are generally two slides. When the hammer strikes the drumhead, the direction of the movement of the protrusion is directly opposite to the first slide 6013. When the drumstick resets first and the pedal 4 resets, the direction of the movement of the protrusion is directly opposite to the second slide 6014.
[0071] Example 4:
[0072] This embodiment provides a drum pedal for quick reset, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.
[0073] The slide groove is equipped with a one-way plate 7, and the opening direction of the one-way plate 7 is consistent with the sliding direction of the protrusion in the slide groove.
[0074] One-way plate 7 is formed by stamping thin steel sheet. One end of it is fixed to the inlet of the chute by a hinge shaft, and the other end is a free end.
[0075] Working principle: When the protrusion slides into the groove (disengages), the one-way plate 7 set at the entrance of the first groove 6013 is pushed open to reduce the movement resistance; when the protrusion slides in the opposite direction (resets), the one-way plate 7 of the second groove 6014 is pushed open to reduce the movement resistance, and it quickly resets to the initial position along the groove.
[0076] To make it easier for the one-way plate 7 to reset, a torsion spring can be added to enable the one-way plate 7 to reset quickly.
[0077] Example 5:
[0078] This embodiment provides a drum pedal for quick reset, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.
[0079] The spring mechanism 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pedal 4, and the reset mechanism is a torsion spring.
[0080] The elastic element is further optimized in Example 1:
[0081] The spring mechanism 5 is changed to a two-stage spring structure, including an inner high-stiffness spring and an outer low-stiffness spring. By superimposing the pre-compression force, the balance between the rapid response and the gentle rebound of the pedal 4 is achieved.
[0082] The torsion spring in the reset mechanism has been replaced with a shape memory alloy spring, which can adaptively adjust the reset torque in high-temperature environments to avoid action deviation caused by thermal expansion.
[0083] The embodiments of this application have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. This application is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of this application without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims, and all of these forms fall within the scope of protection of this application.
