Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of music effects technology, specifically an effects unit with a magnetic battery compartment. Background Technology

[0002] Effects processors are audio peripherals that provide various tonal effects and are widely used in live sound reinforcement systems. Effects processors are primarily used to connect and use the sound signals from electric guitars, but depending on the circuit design, they can also be used with electric basses, acoustic guitars, microphones, keyboards, and other devices. Because these sounds have not undergone any processing, their timbre may not be ideal and must be enhanced. Effects processors have the function of enhancing and changing the timbre. Effects processors are electronic instruments specifically designed to produce the above-mentioned effects, while an audio system is a sound-producing device.

[0003] In current technology, the 9V batteries used in conventional effects pedals are mostly embedded inside the housing. When the 9V battery needs to be replaced, the effects pedal needs to be disassembled, which is time-consuming, laborious, and prone to damaging the effects pedal. Moreover, in live performances, the intervals between songs are very tight, and if the battery is dead, it is almost impossible to replace the 9V battery. On the other hand, abandoning the 9V battery and using an external power adapter provides power that is not as pure as that of a 9V battery, which may result in a lower tone quality than that powered by a 9V battery (for example, greater electrical noise). From any perspective, an effects pedal that can replace the 9V battery in a few seconds is a major advancement in the industry. Utility Model Content

[0024] Specifically, the left and right sides and the front and rear sides of the housing 1 are perpendicular and flush with the left and right sides and the front and rear sides of the battery compartment body 3.

[0025] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the housing 1 is flush with the outer surface of the battery compartment body 3, so that the effect unit does not look obtrusive and makes the effect unit look more beautiful.

[0026] Specifically, the magnetic attraction mechanism 2 includes mounting holes 201 and magnets 202. The lower surfaces of the front and rear side walls of the housing 1 and the four corners of the upper side wall of the battery compartment body 3 are provided with rectangular mounting holes 201. Magnets 202 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the lower surfaces of the front and rear side walls of the housing 1 and the upper surface of the battery compartment body 3 corresponding to the mounting holes 201, and the corresponding upper and lower magnets 202 attract each other.

[0027] In this embodiment, the mounting holes 201 at the four corners of the left side of the front and rear side walls of the housing 1 and the right side wall of the battery compartment body 3 are used to install magnets 202, so that the corresponding left and right magnets 202 attract each other together, thereby achieving the effect of installing the battery compartment body 3 inside the housing 1.

[0028] Specifically, the battery compartment body 3 has a wire-passing groove 5 on the upper side wall facing the housing 1.

[0029] In this embodiment, the wire-threading groove 5 is designed to accommodate the installation of conductive wires.

[0030] Specifically, the guiding mechanism 4 includes a first guide block 401, a guide groove 402, and a second guide block 403. The first guide block 401 is fixedly installed on the right side wall of the battery compartment body 3 near the upper side. The guide groove 402 is provided on the right inner wall of the housing 1 corresponding to the first guide block 401. The first guide block 401 is movably inserted into the guide groove 402. The second guide block 403 is fixedly installed on the right side of the battery compartment body 3 near the front and rear positions, and the front and rear second guide blocks 403 are respectively movably fitted with the front and rear inner walls of the housing 1.

[0031] In this embodiment, the battery compartment body 3 moves left and right within the housing 1, the first guide block 401 moves left and right with the battery compartment body 3 within the guide groove 402, and the front and rear second guide blocks 403 move along the front and rear inner walls of the housing 1, so that the left and right movement of the battery compartment body 3 is stable, the battery compartment body 3 is accurately installed, and the magnetic suction mechanism 2 can be quickly aligned.

[0032] Specifically, the first guide block 401 and the second guide block 403 are integrally formed with the battery compartment body 3.

[0033] In this embodiment, the first guide block 401 and the second guide block 403 have high structural strength with the battery compartment body 3, and the first guide block 401 and the second guide block 403 are not easily broken or damaged.

[0034] Specifically, anti-slip stripes 6 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the battery compartment body 3.

[0036] In use, pinch the anti-slip stripes 6 on the front and back sides of the battery compartment body 3 with your fingers and insert the battery compartment body 3 into the housing 1. At this time, the first guide block 401 in the guide mechanism 4 moves left and right with the battery compartment body 3 in the guide groove 402, and the front and rear second guide blocks 403 move along the front and rear inner walls of the housing 1, so that the left and right movement of the battery compartment body 3 is stable and the installation position of the battery compartment body 3 is accurate, which facilitates the quick alignment of the magnetic attraction mechanism 2. Then, the magnets 202 are installed through the mounting holes 201 at the four corners of the left side of the front and rear side walls of the housing 1 and the right side wall of the battery compartment body 3, so that the corresponding magnets on the left and right sides are aligned. The 202 components are magnetically attached to each other, allowing the battery compartment body 3 to be installed inside the housing 1. Conversely, the battery compartment body 3 can be pulled out of the housing 1 and magnetically attached to the housing 1, making it easy to disassemble the battery compartment body 3. This makes battery replacement simple, smooth, and quick, and reduces the risk of damaging the effects pedal. The independent partition between the battery compartment body 3 and the housing 1 allows the battery compartment body 3 to store small items such as picks, small hexagonal paddles, and brush cloths when no batteries are installed, increasing the storage capacity of the effects pedal and enhancing its practicality.

[0037] In summary, this effects pedal with a magnetic battery compartment uses magnetic attraction to attach the battery compartment body 3 to the housing 1, making it easy to replace the battery inside the battery compartment body 3. This makes battery replacement simple, smooth, and quick, and also prevents damage to the effects pedal. At the same time, the battery compartment body 3 and the housing 1 are separated by an independent partition, allowing the battery compartment body 3 to store small items, increasing the storage function of the effects pedal and making it highly practical.
