AI Technical Summary
Traditional guzheng frames have limitations in tone transmission, resonance enhancement, and structural stability, making it difficult to meet the demands of professional and advanced players for subtle variations in sound quality.
It adopts a four-sound beam structure design, with the sound beams tightly connected to the main frame through mortise and tenon joints. It is made of pine wood, and the support beam is located directly below the sound beams, forming a stable mechanical structure. The sound beams work together to broaden the resonance frequency range.
It achieves balanced volume and full sustain, with a natural transition from deep bass to crisp treble, enhancing the expressive power of subtle changes in sound quality.

[0002] Traditional zither frame is mostly single sound beam or double sound beam design, and there are limitations in tone conduction, resonance promotion and structural stability. With the improvement of playing demand, the richness of zither tone, the volume persistence requirement is gradually high, and the existing frame is difficult to meet the pursuit of professional and advanced players to the delicate change of tone quality.
[0003] Therefore, it is very necessary to develop a new zither frame structure. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL
[0004] The utility model aims at the deficiency of prior art, provides a four sound beam structure zither frame, and the specific scheme is as follows:
[0005] A four sound beam structure zither frame, including main body frame, four interval parallelly arranged sound beams are arranged on the main body frame through mortise and tenon structure;The main body frame includes two interval parallelly arranged side plates, and a big head plate, a string peg plate and a rear tail plate are arranged between the two side plates;The mortise and tenon structure includes a dovetail blind slot formed in the side plate, and the both ends of the sound beam are provided with a positioning block corresponding to the dovetail blind slot, and the mortise and tenon structure further includes a positioning groove one formed in the side plate, and the sound beam is provided with a positioning groove two corresponding to the positioning groove one, and a wooden positioning pin is arranged between the positioning groove one and the positioning groove two.
[0006] Based on the above, the main body frame further includes four support beams corresponding to the four sound beams respectively and arranged between the two side plates, and the support beam is located directly below the corresponding sound beam.
[0007] Based on the above, the material of the sound beam is pine.
[0008] Based on the above, the sound beam and the positioning block are an integral structure.
[0009] The utility model has substantial features and progress compared with the prior art, and specifically, the utility model has the following advantages:
[0010] The four sound beam structure zither frame provided by the utility model is closely connected with the main body frame through mortise and tenon, forms a stable mechanical structure, and the vibration of the string is transmitted to the sound beam through the panel during playing, the sound beams at different positions cooperate, the resonance frequency band is widened, the transition from low bass to crisp treble is more natural, the volume is balanced and the echo is full.
