[0022] 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 protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a wooden piccolo, including a flute body 1, a blowhole 2, a tuning hole and a sound hole on the flute body 1, and a flute plug 3 disposed inside the flute body 1. A flute head 4 for pushing the flute plug 3 is inserted into the end of the flute body 1. The flute body 1 is also provided with an indicator that attracts the flute plug 3. When the flute plug 3 moves, it can drive the indicator to move on the flute body 1. In the flute making process, determining the position of the flute plug 3 is a key step. The position of the flute plug is different for flutes of different keys. For example, the position of the flute plug in C and D keys is usually about 4 mm from the far left of the blowhole, while it is 2 to 3 mm in F and minor G keys; and 5 to 6 mm in major Bb and major A keys. Thus, when tuning, the player can change the flute's pitch and timbre by finely adjusting the position of the flute plug according to actual needs.
[0024] The mouthpiece 4 includes a grooved sleeve 41 inserted into the end of the flute body 1. The inside of the grooved sleeve 41 has a spiral groove. The end of the grooved sleeve 41 is rotatably connected to a rotating part 42. The rotating part 42 is provided with a pushing part 43 connected to the flute plug 3. When the rotating part 42 is rotated, the pushing part 43 can move under the limitation of the spiral groove inside the grooved sleeve 41, thereby pushing the flute plug 3 to move inside the flute body 1.
[0025] When it is necessary to adjust the pitch of the flute, since the push part 43 is inside the slide sleeve 41 and the push part 43 is limited by the spiral groove inside the slide sleeve 41, the push part 43 can move by rotating the rotating part 42, thereby pushing the flute plug 3 to move inside the flute body 1, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the pitch of the flute.
[0026] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the rotating part 42 includes a knob 421 that is damped and rotatably connected to the end of the slide sleeve 41. The knob 421 is damped and rotatably connected to the slide sleeve 41, so that there is a certain resistance during the rotation of the knob 421. A sleeve 422 extending into the slide sleeve 41 is fixedly connected to the knob 421, and a strip-shaped through groove 423 is provided on the sleeve 422.
[0027] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pushing part 43 includes a movable disk 431 slidably disposed in the sleeve 422, a limiting post 432 fixedly connected to the movable disk 431, the limiting post 432 passing through the strip groove 423 and extending into the spiral groove of the sliding sleeve 41, and a connecting rod 433 connected to the plug 3 fixedly connected to the movable disk 431.
[0028] Since the movable disk 431 slides inside the sleeve 422, and the limiting post 432 passes through the strip groove 423 and extends into the spiral groove of the sliding sleeve 41 and is adapted to the spiral groove, when the knob 421 is turned to drive the sleeve 422 to rotate, the limiting post 432 will move in the spiral groove, thereby driving the movable disk 431 to move. Then, under the action of the connecting rod 433, the plug 3 will be pushed to move, so as to achieve the purpose of fine adjustment of the plug 3.
[0029] In another preferred embodiment of this utility model, the flute plug 3 includes two sealing plugs 31 and a magnetic disk 32, with the magnetic disk 32 located between the two sealing plugs 31. A connecting rod 433 is connected to one of the sealing plugs 31. A blowhole mark 33 is provided on the side of the flute body 1 away from the blowhole 2. The mark is an indicator needle 34 that attracts the magnetic disk 32. A groove for the indicator needle 34 to move is provided on the flute body 1. The indicator needle 34 can be made of iron material that attracts the magnetic disk 32. The blowhole mark 33 and the indicator needle 34 are located on the same side, and the positions of the blowhole mark 33 and the blowhole 2 are corresponding and the same in shape. A scale mark 35 is provided on the flute body 1, and the scale mark 35 is located on the same side as the blowhole mark 33. By setting the blowhole mark 33, the indicator needle 34 and the scale mark 35 on the side away from the blowhole 2, the indicator needle 34 can be used to observe the process of fine-tuning the flute plug 3, and it will not hinder the normal use of the blowhole 2.
[0030] The flute plug 3 consists of a sealing plug 31 and a magnetic disk 32. During the fine-tuning of the flute plug 3, the movement of the magnetic disk 32 will drive the indicator needle 34 to move. By observing the distance between the indicator needle 34 and the blowhole mark 33, the distance between the flute plug 3 and the blowhole 2 can be observed from the outside at all times. With the assistance of the scale mark 35, the fine-tuning of the flute plug 3 can be more precise, making it easier for the player to change the flute's intonation and timbre by fine-tuning the position of the flute plug according to actual needs.
[0031] 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.
