[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0027] Reference Figure 1-4 As one embodiment of this utility model, an electric ethereal drum is disclosed, specifically the ethereal drum includes a base 1 and a drum body 2 connected to the base 1;
[0028] The upper end face of the drum body 2 has a side sound plate 21 and a central sound plate 22;
[0029] Several mounting frames 3 are fixedly connected to the base 1. A driving component 31 is provided inside the mounting frame 3. The driving component 31 is used to drive the drum arm 32 to rotate. A drumstick 33 is fixedly connected to the end of the drum arm 32. Each drumstick 33 is opposite to each sound piece.
[0030] The drive unit 31 is detachably connected to the drum arm 32. That is, in this embodiment, the drum arm 32 can be rotated by the drive unit 31 to drive the drumstick 33 to strike the sound plate to play music. Alternatively, the drum arm 32 can be disassembled for manual striking. Both control methods are available to improve the convenience of operation.
[0031] In some embodiments, the base 1 of the present invention has a mounting groove 11, and the drum body 2 is mounted in the mounting groove 11. The bottom of the base 1 protrudes outward to form a support portion 12, and the support portion 12 supports the entire drum body 2.
[0032] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the present invention, a wiring cavity 13 is formed on the inner side of the base 1, and a through hole communicating with the wiring cavity 13 is opened at the upper end of the base 1. The wire of the driving member 31 enters the interior of the mounting frame 3 along the wiring cavity 13 and the through hole. Specifically, in this embodiment, eleven driving members 31 are provided, ten side sound pieces 21 are provided, and one central sound piece 22 is provided, so as to realize one-to-one correspondence for percussion performance. Of course, in order to realize power supply to the eleven driving members 31, eleven wires should also be provided.
[0033] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, a power cord 14 is connected to the side of the base 1. The power cord 14 passes through the inside of the wiring cavity 13 and is connected to multiple wires through the controller. That is to say, in this embodiment, the power cord 14 supplies power to the internal controller. The controller in this embodiment is installed inside the wiring cavity 13. The output of the controller realizes the driving control of each driving component 31, thereby realizing the striking of different sound pieces. By continuously controlling different driving components 31, different sounds are produced to achieve music performance. The controller in this embodiment can be set as a microcontroller, etc. Since no improvement has been made to this circuit part in this embodiment, it will not be described in detail.
[0034] Of course, in other embodiments, it can also be controlled by a button switch. By using the same number of button switches as the driving element 31, each button switch corresponds to the action of each driving element 31 when pressed, thus realizing manual control of the performance and diversifying the functions.
[0035] More specifically, in this embodiment, the mounting frame 3 includes an upper housing 34 and a lower housing 35;
[0036] The lower housing 35 is fixed above the base 1, and the upper housing 34 is connected to the lower housing 35 by fasteners. The driving component 31 is connected in the cavity formed by the upper housing 34 and the lower housing 35. Of course, in this embodiment, a wire hole should also be opened in the lower housing 35. The wire hole corresponds to the above-mentioned through hole so that the wire can enter the interior of the mounting frame 3 to power the driving component 31.
[0037] Based on the above embodiments, the driving component 31 in this embodiment is configured as a motor;
[0038] The drum arm 32 is connected to the shaft end of the motor by a locking structure, wherein a clearance groove 36 for the drum arm 32 to rotate is also formed on the side of the upper housing 34.
[0039] Furthermore, the locking structure described in this utility model includes a placement groove formed on the end of the motor shaft. An L-shaped rod 38 is movably inserted into the inner side of the placement groove via a spring 37. A slot 39 adapted to the L-shaped rod 38 is provided in the inner hole of the drum arm 32. The bent end of the L-shaped rod 38 is stopped on the outer side of the drum arm 32.
[0040] In other words, in the initial state, the L-shaped rod 38 is pushed upward by the spring 37 until the lateral part of the L-shaped rod 38 is engaged in the slot 39, thus completing the circumferential locking of the motor shaft end and the drum arm 32. At the same time, the bent part of the L-shaped rod 38 stops on the outer side of the drum arm 32 to prevent the drum arm 32 from moving laterally. At this time, the drum arm 32 can be driven to swing by the drive component 31 to achieve automatic music playing.
[0041] When disassembly is required, press down on the L-shaped rod 38. At this time, the bent part of the L-shaped rod 38 retracts into the slot 39, and the drum arm 32 can be slid horizontally to remove the drum arm 32. The drum arm 32 can then be held by hand for manual playing.
[0042] It should be noted that the drum body 2 described in this utility model includes an upper drum surface and a lower drum surface. The lower drum surface is also provided with a sound amplification hole 23 in the middle. Of course, the aforementioned sound pieces are formed on the upper drum surface. The upper drum surface and the lower drum surface together form an elliptical spherical component.
[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
