Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gourd flutes, specifically a new type of gourd flute. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technology, the hulusi is mainly composed of a gourd, bamboo tubes, and a mouthpiece. The mouthpiece is an important component of the hulusi, directly affecting the player's playing experience and the instrument's tone. The mouthpiece can be replaced on the hulusi for multiple users. However, since the mouthpiece comes into direct contact with the lips, when it is pulled out of the hulusi for replacement, the fingers will still come into contact with the mouthpiece, which may contain saliva, leading to cross-infection and affecting the player's health. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, since the mouthpiece comes into direct contact with the lips, fingers will still come into contact with the mouthpiece, which contains saliva, when it is pulled out of the hulusi for replacement, which can easily lead to cross-infection and affect the health of the performer. This utility model proposes a new type of hulusi.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a new type of gourd flute, including a gourd flute, wherein a mouthpiece is provided inside the gourd flute, and an elastic mechanism is provided on the surface of the mouthpiece;

[0005] The elastic mechanism includes a placement groove, which is formed in the inner cavity of the gourd flute. A first spring is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the placement groove. A snap-fit ​​groove is formed on the surface of the mouthpiece. A limit block is provided in the inner cavity of the snap-fit ​​groove. One side of the limit block is fixedly connected to one side of the first spring. A first hollow groove is formed on the surface of the gourd flute. A pull rod is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the first hollow groove. One side of the pull rod is fixedly connected to one side of the limit block. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the placement groove. A second spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing plate. A rebound plate is provided at the bottom of the mouthpiece. The top of the rebound plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second spring.

[0006] Preferably, the surface of the gourd flute is provided with a guide groove, and the inner cavity of the guide groove is provided with a fixing strip, one side of which is fixedly connected to the surface of the mouthpiece.

[0007] Preferably, the inner cavity of the snap-fit ​​groove is provided with a buffer block, and one side of the buffer block is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting snap-fit ​​block.

[0008] Preferably, the surface of the limiting block is provided with an installation groove, and the inner cavity of the installation groove is rotatably connected to a ball bearing.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the rebound plate is provided with a support rod, and one side of the support rod is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the gourd.

[0010] Preferably, the surface of the gourd flute is provided with a rope, and a storage box is fixedly connected to one side of the rope.

[0011] Preferably, a connecting block is fixedly connected to one side of the pull rod, and the connecting block is circular in shape.

[0012] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0013] This invention involves inserting the mouthpiece into the inside of the gourd flute. The mouthpiece presses against the inclined surface of the limiting block, causing the limiting block to move and compress the first spring. The mouthpiece then continues to move, pressing against the return plate, which in turn stretches the second spring. When the locking groove is located on one side of the limiting block, the first spring springs the limiting block back into the locking groove, thus securing the mouthpiece inside the gourd flute for easy playing. To replace the mouthpiece, simply pull the lever to move the limiting block out of the locking groove. The mouthpiece lacks a limiting stop, so the second spring releases elasticity to eject the mouthpiece from the inside of the gourd flute via a rebound plate. This allows users to automatically remove the mouthpiece simply by pulling a lever, eliminating the need for direct contact between fingers and the mouthpiece with saliva, thus reducing the risk of cross-infection and ensuring the health of the performer. This solves the problem that when the mouthpiece is pulled out of the gourd flute for replacement, fingers still come into contact with the saliva-covered mouthpiece, which could easily lead to cross-infection and affect the performer's health.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0021] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0022] This application discloses a novel gourd flute. (Refer to...) Figure 1-4 A new type of gourd flute includes a gourd flute 1, a mouthpiece 2 inside the gourd flute 1, and an elastic mechanism 3 on the surface of the mouthpiece 2. The mouthpiece 2 can be inserted into the gourd flute 1, and the performer's lips can cooperate with the gourd flute 1 through the mouthpiece 2 to play vocal music.

[0023] The elastic mechanism 3 includes a placement groove 301, which is opened in the inner cavity of the gourd flute 1. A first spring 302 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the placement groove 301. A snap-fit ​​groove 303 is opened on the surface of the mouthpiece 2. A limit block 304 is provided in the inner cavity of the snap-fit ​​groove 303. One side of the limit block 304 is fixedly connected to one side of the first spring 302. A first hollow groove 305 is opened on the surface of the gourd flute 1. A pull rod 306 is slidably connected in the inner cavity of the first hollow groove 305. One side of the pull rod 306 is fixedly connected to one side of the limit block 304. A fixing plate 307 is fixedly connected in the inner cavity of the placement groove 301. A second spring 308 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing plate 307. A rebound plate 309 is provided at the bottom of the mouthpiece 2. The top of the rebound plate 309 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second spring 308.

[0024] The interior of the placement groove 301 can be used to place the first spring 302, which can be connected to the limiting block 304 and limit the limiting block 304, so that the limiting block 304 can be stably placed inside the locking groove 303. At this time, the limiting block 304 can limit the mouthpiece 2 through the locking groove 303, so that the mouthpiece 2 can be stably placed inside the gourd flute 1, making it easier for the player to play. The top of the limiting block 304 is inclined and can be automatically moved by the mouthpiece 2. The interior of the first hollow groove 305 can hold the pull rod 306, so that the pull rod 306 can be connected to the limiting block 304 and can also be pulled by people to move, and drive the limiting block 304 to move together and disengage from the locking groove 303. At this time, the mouthpiece 2 can be smoothly released from the gourd flute. The mouthpiece 2 is replaced with a new one inside the gourd flute 1, making it easier for other players to use the gourd flute 1. The bottom of the fixing plate 307 can be used to connect the second spring 308, while the rebound plate 309 is connected to the bottom of the second spring 308. A part of the rebound plate 309 is located inside the gourd flute 1, so that when the mouthpiece 2 is moved into the gourd flute 1, it can squeeze the rebound plate 309 to move. At this time, the rebound plate 309 can drive the second spring 308 to stretch. This allows the mouthpiece 2 to be automatically ejected from the gourd flute 1 due to the elasticity of the second spring 308 when the pull rod 306 is pulled to disengage the limiting block 304 from the slot 303. This eliminates the need for the player to directly contact the mouthpiece 2 with saliva, thus reducing the risk of cross-infection and ensuring the health of the player.

[0025] Reference Figure 3 The surface of the gourd flute 1 is provided with a guide groove 4, and the inner cavity of the guide groove 4 is provided with a fixing strip 5. One side of the fixing strip 5 is fixedly connected to the surface of the mouthpiece 2. The fixing strip 5 is connected to one side of the mouthpiece 2 and can be moved by the mouthpiece 2. The guide groove 4 can guide the mouthpiece 2 through the fixing strip 5, so that when the mouthpiece 2 is inserted into the interior of the gourd flute 1, the locking groove 303 can accurately align with the limiting block 304 without having to spend time aligning.

[0026] Reference Figure 4 The inner cavity of the snap-fit ​​groove 303 is provided with a buffer block 6. One side of the buffer block 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting snap-fit ​​block 304. The buffer block 6 can be supported by rubber. The rubber has elasticity and can buffer the limiting snap-fit ​​block 304. When the limiting snap-fit ​​block 304 is bounced back into the snap-fit ​​groove 303 by the first spring 302, the limiting snap-fit ​​block 304 is not likely to hit the mouthpiece 2. Instead, it will be buffered by the buffer block 6, so that the mouthpiece 2 is not easily damaged.

[0027] Reference Figure 4The surface of the limit block 304 is provided with an installation groove 7. The inner cavity of the installation groove 7 is rotatably connected to a ball bearing 8. The inside of the installation groove 7 can be used to install the ball bearing 8, and the ball bearing 8 can make the limit block 304 less likely to experience obstruction when moving, and the movement is more smooth and easy.

[0028] Reference Figure 4 A support rod 10 is provided at the bottom of the rebound plate 309. One side of the support rod 10 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the gourd flute 1. The support rod 10 can support the rebound plate 309 and the mouthpiece 2, making it difficult for the rebound plate 309 to continue to move and thus preventing deformation. It can also prevent the mouthpiece 2 from continuing to move, allowing the limiting block 304 to be stably placed inside the locking groove 303.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 The surface of the gourd flute 1 is provided with a rope 11, and a storage box 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the rope 11. The rope 11 can be wrapped around the surface of the gourd flute 1, so that the storage box 12 can be connected to the gourd flute 1, making it easy to carry the storage box 12. The inside of the storage box 12 can hold multiple mouthpieces 2, which not only makes it easy to carry multiple mouthpieces 2, but also allows the mouthpieces 2 that need to be replaced to be aligned with the storage box 12, so that the used mouthpieces 2 can be bounced into the inside of the storage box 12 for collection.

[0030] Reference Figure 4 A connecting block 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the pull rod 306. The connecting block 9 is circular in shape. The connecting block 9 makes it easier for people to pull the pull rod 306. They can pull the connecting block 9 or hook the connecting block 9 with their fingers to pull it.

[0031] Working principle: When using this device, first insert the mouthpiece 2 into the inside of the gourd flute 1. Then, the mouthpiece 2 will press against the inclined surface of the limiting block 304, causing the limiting block 304 to move and compress the first spring 302. Afterward, the mouthpiece 2 will continue to move and press against the return plate 309, which will then drive the second spring 308 to stretch. When the locking groove 303 is located on one side of the limiting block 304, the first spring 302 will spring the limiting block 304 back into the locking groove 303 to fix the mouthpiece 2, so that the mouthpiece 2 can be stably placed inside the gourd flute 1, making it convenient for the player to play. When it is necessary to replace the mouthpiece 2, simply pull the lever 306 to move the limiting block 304. When the locking block 304 moves, the limiting locking block 304 will move out of the locking groove 303. At this time, the mouthpiece 2 is no longer limited by the limiting locking block 304. The second spring 308 will release the elastic force and pop the mouthpiece 2 out of the gourd flute 1 through the rebound plate 309. This allows people to simply pull the lever 306 to automatically move the mouthpiece 2 out of the gourd flute 1 without having to directly contact the mouthpiece 2 with saliva with their fingers. This reduces the risk of cross-infection and ensures the health of the performer. This solves the problem that when the mouthpiece 2 is pulled out of the gourd flute 1 for replacement because it is in direct contact with the lips, the fingers will still come into contact with the mouthpiece 2 with saliva, which can easily lead to cross-infection and affect the health of the performer.

[0032] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
