Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0018] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The rotating shaft structure 1 of this utility model, applied to an electronic guitar 2, includes a housing 11, a rotating shaft 12, a fastening member 13, and a fixing member 14. The rotating shaft 12 is rotatably disposed on the housing 11. The housing 11 is provided with a through groove 111. The rotating shaft 12 is fixedly provided with a circular rotating rod 121, and the circular rotating rod 121 is embedded in the through groove 111. The fixing member 14 is fixedly disposed on the housing 11. The fastening member 13 is foldable along the center line. The fastening member 13 is provided with a retaining groove 131 and an adapter groove 132 along the center line. The housing 11 is snapped into the retaining groove 131. One end of the circular rotating rod 121 is fixed in the adapter groove 132. Both the fastening member 13 and the fixing member 14 are provided with retaining holes 16.

[0019] In the above embodiment, the pivot structure 1 applied to the electronic guitar 2 mainly consists of a housing 11, a pivot 12, a fastening member 13, and a fixing member 14. The pivot 12 is rotatably disposed inside the housing 11, and the housing 11 has a through groove 111. A circular rotating rod 121 is fixedly installed on the pivot 12. This circular rotating rod 121 is embedded in the through groove 111 and is responsible for bearing the main rotational force. The fixing member 14 is installed on the housing 11, while the fastening member 13 is designed as a sheet-like structure that can be folded along the center line. The center line of the fastening member 13 is provided with a retaining groove 131 and an adapter groove 132. The housing 11 is snapped into the retaining groove 131, and one end of the circular rotating rod 121 is fixed to the adapter groove 132, ensuring a stable connection of the structure, while allowing the circular rotating rod 121 to drive the fastening member 13 to fold. Both the fastening member 13 and the fixing member 14 have retaining holes 16 for subsequent fixing operations.

[0020] This pivot structure 1 achieves a self-locking function through its design. When the pivot 12 rotates, it drives the circular rotating rod 121 to rotate within the through groove 111. The fitting groove 132 ensures that one end of the circular rotating rod 121 is embedded, thereby driving the circular rotating rod 121 to rotate synchronously during the rotation of the pivot 12. This rotational action causes the fastening member 13 to fold along the center line to the other side, realizing the structural transformation. Inside the body 21 of the electric guitar 2, a fixing rod is provided that passes through a fixing hole. When the fastening member 13 unfolds 180 degrees, the fixing rod passes through the corresponding fixing hole, achieving a 180-degree self-locking state. When the circular rotating rod 121 continues to rotate, it pushes the fastening member 13 to fold to the other side. The original retaining hole 16 on one side disengages from the fixing rod and instead embeds into the fixing rod on the other side, completing the 0-degree self-locking state. If the circular rotating rod 121 is damaged, it can be easily replaced, ensuring the continuous and reliable use of the pivot structure 1.

[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 5 In another embodiment, the fastening member 13 and the fixing member 14 have staggered retaining holes 16, and the area where the retaining holes 16 intersect is elliptical.

[0022] In the above embodiments, the fixing rod can smoothly transition and stably lock in the retaining hole 16 at different positions when the fastener 13 is folded or unfolded, which enhances the flexibility, stability and reliability of the self-locking function of the rotating shaft structure 1.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 5 In another embodiment, the rotating shaft 12 is also fitted with a clamping member 15, which presses against the annular rotating rod 121.

[0024] In the above embodiment, the application of the clamping member 15 effectively reduces the shaking and loosening of the ring rotating rod 121 during rotation, improving the stability and accuracy of rotation. At the same time, the clamping member 15 also enhances the connection strength between the ring rotating rod 121 and the rotating shaft 12, extending the service life of the rotating shaft structure 1 and ensuring smooth and durable adjustment of the electronic guitar 2.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 5 In another embodiment, the clamping member 15 includes a washer 151 and a sealing ring 152, with one washer 151 and one sealing ring 152 forming a group, and at least two groups of washer 151 and sealing ring 152 are arranged in a repeating sequence.

[0026] In the above embodiment, the washer 151 provides basic clamping force, while the sealing ring 152 further enhances the sealing effect, reduces gaps, and ensures that the clamping member 15 can act stably and tightly on the ring rotating rod 121, thereby improving its rotational stability and structural durability.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 5 An electronic guitar 2 includes the aforementioned pivot structure 1 applied to the electronic guitar 2, as well as a body 21 and a frame 22. The body 21 is provided with a fixing rod, which passes through the fixing hole 16. One end of the frame 22 is fixedly connected to the pivot 12.

[0028] In the above embodiment, the pivot structure 1 includes a housing 11, a pivot 12, a fastening member 13, and a fixing member 14, realizing the adjustment and self-locking of the guitar frame 22. A fixing rod is provided on the guitar body 21, which passes through the retaining holes 16 on the fastening member 13 and the fixing member 14 to complete the locking of the structure. One end of the guitar frame 22 is fixedly connected to the pivot structure 1. This design allows the guitar frame 22 to rotate flexibly with the rotation of the pivot 12, thereby adjusting the overall angle and posture of the electronic guitar 2.

[0029] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model.
