AI Technical Summary
Traditional hulusi (a type of gourd flute) has a relatively small volume, a limited timbre, and a monotonous appearance, making it difficult to meet diverse performance needs.
The resonant ring structure replaces the traditional gourd resonant cavity. The resonant ring is composed of multiple ring walls, combined with different materials and designs, and is connected to the mouthpiece and sound tube by means of threaded connection, bonding and other methods. The hollow area of the resonant ring is designed with various shapes and cross sections, and the surface can be treated by electroplating, spraying and other processes.
It increases volume, enriches timbre, enhances aesthetics, and features a simple structure that facilitates mass production and widespread adoption.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of national musical instrument, specifically a new -type gourd silk with resonance ring structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] Gourd silk, also known as gourd xiao, is a traditional national musical instrument in China, and has a long history. The traditional gourd silk is mainly composed of a mouthpiece, a gourd, a bamboo tube and a reed, and has unique tone, and is deeply loved by people. However, the traditional gourd silk has certain limitations in the process of playing, such as small volume, single tone and the like; in terms of appearance, the appearance of the traditional gourd silk is relatively single due to the limitation of the gourd material and shape. In order to solve these problems, improve the sound quality effect of the gourd silk and make the appearance more changeable, the utility model provides a ring xiao, which is a new type of gourd silk with resonance ring structure, and can also be called resonance ring gourd silk. SUMMARY
[0003] The utility model aims at providing a ring mouth organ, uses the resonance ring to replace the traditional gourd resonance cavity of gourd silk, not only can promote the volume, improve the tone, can also let the musical instrument have more rich appearance effect, its structure design is novel, has the following technical features: (1) ring mouth organ mainly by resonance ring, mouthpiece and sound pipe three parts constitute, resonance ring body is by resonance ring wall, resonance ring hollow area, mouthpiece interface, sound pipe interface etc. jointly constitutes, resonance ring section is hollow tubular structure, mouthpiece is connected in resonance ring body's mouthpiece interface, is used for playing; sound pipe is connected in resonance ring body's sound pipe interface, is used for tuning and playing; (2) ring mouth organ is made of wood, bamboo, metal, plastic or composite material, has good tenacity and stability, also can adopt glass, plexiglass etc. transparent material to make, has the appearance effect of permeability.(3) the shape of resonance ring includes but is not limited to: round ring, triangular ring, square ring, polygonal ring, star ring, heart ring, irregular ring etc.(4) resonance ring is composed of at least one ring wall; when being composed of two or more than two ring walls, the outermost ring wall should keep a certain distance with the inner ring wall, the outermost ring wall can form a hollow structure by combining various patterns, the outermost ring wall should have a certain structure support function to realize the best resonance effect of the inner ring wall.(5) the shape of resonance ring hollow area includes but is not limited to: circle, triangle, square, polygon, star, heart, irregular type etc.(6) the shape of resonance ring section includes but is not limited to: round pipe, square pipe, polygonal pipe, irregular pipe etc.; (7) mouthpiece and resonance ring mouthpiece interface are connected through thread connection, adhesion, sleeve joint or other fixed mode, adopt sealing ring etc. air-tight member when necessary, guarantee air-tight effect.(8) sound pipe includes at least one main sound pipe, can increase several auxiliary sound pipes according to the need; main sound pipe and auxiliary sound pipe are provided with tongue spring hole, tongue spring and at least one sound hole respectively; auxiliary sound pipe is provided with sound hole opening and closing device; sound pipe and resonance ring sound pipe interface are connected through thread connection, adhesion, sleeve joint or other fixed mode, adopt sealing ring etc. air-tight member when necessary, guarantee air-tight effect.(9) ring mouth organ surface can present different color through electroplating, spraying, anodic oxidation, electrochemical coloring etc., also can present different glossiness through frosting or polishing.(10) ring mouth organ can be manufactured by traditional manufacturing method, also can be manufactured by 3D printing etc. additive manufacturing method.
[0004] Invention advantage: (1) enhance volume: resonance ring can effectively improve the volume of ring mouth organ, make the performance more loud, satisfy the performance demand of different occasions.(2) rich tone: through the change of resonance ring modeling structure, can realize various tone changes, improve music performance.(3) beautiful and generous: the design of resonance ring makes the appearance of ring mouth organ more characteristic, increases the ornamental value.(4) easy to popularize: ring mouth organ structure is simple, cost is easy to control, is convenient for large-scale production, the performance method of ring mouth organ is same with traditional gourd silk, is easy to popularize and promote.

[0009] Detailed Description of Embodiments: The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0010] Example (1): A three-tone ring flute, comprising a circular resonator, three bamboo tubes, three reeds, and a mouthpiece. The circular resonator is made of metal with a thickness of 1-2 mm, an outer diameter of approximately 120 mm, and an inner diameter of approximately 50 mm. A mouthpiece interface is provided on the outside of the resonator, and a tube interface is provided in the opposite direction to the corresponding position of the resonator. The main tube of the three bamboo tubes has a diameter of approximately 20 mm, and the two auxiliary tubes have a diameter of approximately 13 mm. The reeds are installed on the three bamboo tubes respectively, and the ends are sealed. The tone holes are cut according to the pitch. The mouthpiece and the three tubes are respectively fitted onto the resonator. When playing, the resonator can significantly increase the volume and make the tone fuller. Example (2): A single-tone ring flute, comprising a triangular resonator, a bamboo tube, a reed, and a mouthpiece. The resonating ring is made of nylon material using 3D printing, with a thickness of 1.5-2.5mm. The bamboo tube is approximately 20mm in diameter. The reed is installed on the bamboo tube, the end is sealed, and the tone holes are cut according to the pitch. The mouthpiece and three tone tubes are then fitted onto the resonating ring. During performance, the triangular resonating ring provides different volume and timbre effects.
[0011] In summary, this utility model provides a circular flute with advantages such as large volume, rich timbre, diverse appearance, compact structure, and easy portability, and has high practical value and market prospects.
