Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flute technology, specifically to a whistle with adjustable volume. Background Technology
[0002] The tin whistle (also known as the Irish tin whistle) is a very common and distinctive folk instrument with a melodious and clear tone, like a chirping sound. The tin whistle consists of a mouthpiece and a body, or they may be made as a single piece. Its basic structure and sound production principle are similar to the bamboo tin whistle and the Western recorder. Airflow is separated through a specially constructed mouthpiece made of wood or other materials, and the airflow passes through the sound tube, forming an air column through the holes. The vibration of this air column produces sound.
[0003] The traditional whistle's mouthpiece is a single piece and does not have a volume adjustment function. To improve the whistle's versatility and make the volume adjustable, a volume-adjustable whistle was specially designed. Utility Model Content

[0024] This utility model embodiment provides a whistle with adjustable volume, such as Figure 1-5As shown, the flute consists of a mouthpiece 1, a repeater tuner 2, and a flute body 3. The flute body 3 has six finger holes 4 arranged on the front. The mouthpiece 1 includes a mouthpiece body 11 and a mouthpiece plug 12. The mouthpiece body 11 has a vent 13 on the front. The mouthpiece plug 12 is slidably connected inside the mouthpiece body 11, forming an air duct 14 together with the mouthpiece body 11. The mouthpiece body 11 has an adjustment hole 15 on the back. The mouthpiece plug 12 has a slider 16 on the back. The slider 16 is slidably connected to the adjustment hole 15. By pushing the slider 16, the mouthpiece plug 12 can be moved inside the mouthpiece body 11 to adjust the volume.
[0025] The commonly seen curved or flat-mouthed air ducts 14 on the market are different from the common air duct 14 shapes. Example 1 of this case: Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the air duct 14 has a gradually tapering bow shape, with a large opening at the top and a gradually decreasing size at the bottom. This type of air duct 14 provides compression and stability to the airflow, creating a buffer and making it easier to control, similar to the effect of a landslide dam.
[0026] Example 2: Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the sliding button 16 includes a button head 18 and a button rod 19. The top outer circumference of the button rod 19 is provided with an external thread, and the back of the corresponding mouthpiece plug 12 is provided with a threaded hole. The button rod 19 passes through the adjustment hole 15 and is threadedly connected to the mouthpiece plug 12. A screwdriver groove 20 is provided on the button head 18.
[0027] Example 3: Preferably, sliders 21 are provided on both sides inside the mouthpiece body 11, and corresponding grooves 22 are provided on both sides of the mouthpiece plug 12. The sliders 21 and the grooves 22 are matched and slidably connected. The arrangement of sliders 21 and grooves 22 makes the mouthpiece plug 12 move more smoothly inside the mouthpiece body 11.
[0028] Corresponding to a one-piece molded flute or a non-detachable flute, in embodiment four of this case: Figure 2 As shown, the mouthpiece 1 is inserted into the repeater tuner 2, and the repeater tuner 2 is inserted into the flute body 3. The insertion method is a nested form. The mouthpiece 1, repeater tuner 2, and flute body 3 can be detached and installed, which facilitates the cleaning of the mouthpiece 1 and avoids the problem of a large amount of saliva remaining inside the traditional mouthpiece 1, which affects the sound quality of the whistle and easily breeds a large number of bacteria, affecting the user's oral health.
[0029] In Example 4, in addition to the nested connection between the mouthpiece 1, the repeater tuner 2, and the flute body 3, there is another possibility: the tail of the mouthpiece 1 is threadedly connected to the repeater tuner 2, and the tail of the repeater tuner 2 is threadedly connected to the flute body 3.
[0030] In implementation five, a wind blade 17 is provided at the lower edge of the wind window 13. This wind blade 17 is connected to the air duct 14 at a 45-degree angle to catch the airflow.
[0031] The application of all the technical solutions described above includes, but is not limited to, whistles, and may also be applied to recorders.
[0032] Working principle: When the volume-adjustable whistle is in use, the headstock 1, repeater tuner 2, and body 3 are assembled together. Then, the headstock plug 12 is installed on the headstock body 11, with the slider 21 of the headstock body 11 aligned with the groove 22 of the headstock plug 12. The slider 16 is then passed through the adjustment hole 15, and the lever 19 of the slider 16 is screwed into the threaded hole on the back of the headstock plug 12 using a screwdriver. When the volume of the whistle needs to be adjusted, the slider 16 is pushed, which moves the headstock plug 12 within the headstock body 11, thereby changing the position of the headstock plug 12 within the headstock body 11 to change the air intake angle of the mouthpiece and the airflow utilization rate, thus achieving the purpose of adjusting the volume.
[0033] In summary, this volume-adjustable whistle overcomes the drawback of traditional whistles, recorders, and flutes that cannot adjust volume. By sliding the headstock plug 12 within the headstock body 11, the position of the headstock plug 12 within the headstock body 11 can be adjusted to change the air intake angle of the mouthpiece and the airflow utilization rate. This allows for effective volume reduction to one-third or even more of the original volume, achieving linear and gradual volume adjustment from the lowest normal volume to complete silence. Users can adjust the volume according to their needs to adapt to more application scenarios.
[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
