Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of guitar maintenance technology, and in particular to a guitar humidifier. Background Technology

[0002] Guitars are generally made of wood, while the strings and some connecting parts are usually made of metal. High humidity can cause the guitar body to swell, the wood to mold, sound quality to deteriorate, and metal parts to rust. Low humidity can cause the guitar body to shrink, potentially cracking, and the soundboard to dent, leading to lower string action and fret buzz. Therefore, guitar maintenance requires a suitable humidity environment, typically between 40% and 60%. This has led to the development of guitar humidifiers for guitar maintenance.

[0003] There are two main types of guitar humidifiers currently available. One type is the box type, which involves placing the entire guitar inside the box for humidification. This method is costly and takes up a lot of space. The other type involves placing the humidifier inside the sound hole on the soundboard. However, the existing methods completely seal the sound hole, requiring the strings to be removed before use, which is very inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-3 A guitar humidifier, comprising:

[0033] The water tank 100 includes a first cavity 110 and a second cavity 120 connected in a stepped manner. The second cavity 120 has a protrusion 121 that extends horizontally beyond the first cavity 110. The bottom of the protrusion 121 is provided with a plurality of first atomization holes 122. The first cavity 110 is used to store volatile liquids, and the top of the second cavity 120 is provided with an opening.

[0034] The cover 200 covers the opening and has an extension 210 that extends horizontally beyond the water tank 100. The two opposite sides of the extension 210 and the water tank 100 form a retaining part 220. The cover 200 has a water inlet 230 that communicates with the second cavity 120. The water inlet 230 is equipped with a water inlet plug 231. The cover 200 has a mounting groove 241 that faces away from the opening of the water tank 100.

[0035] The control circuit board 300 is configured in the mounting slot 241;

[0036] Humidity sensor 310 is electrically connected to or integrated on control circuit board 300;

[0037] The display module 400 is configured in the mounting slot 241 and located above the control circuit board 300;

[0038] The cover plate 500 is connected to the face cover 200 and closes the mounting groove 241. The cover plate 500 is provided with a light-transmitting part for the light from the display module 400 to be exposed.

[0039] The water tank 100 adopts a stepped cavity design. A first misting hole 122 is opened at the bottom of the protrusion 121 of the second cavity 120, allowing the volatile liquid in the first cavity 110 to naturally evaporate and form high-humidity gas that flows downwards into the resonance cavity. A string-locking part 220 is formed between the cover 200 and the water tank 100, allowing it to be directly locked onto the guitar strings without removing them, making installation convenient and simple. An installation slot 241 is provided inside the cover 200 to isolate the water tank 100 and to mount the control circuit board 300 and display module 400. Humidity data is acquired by the humidity sensor 310 and displayed on the display module 400 for easy humidity monitoring.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 3 It also includes a battery 600 and control buttons 700.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 3 The first cavity 110 is equipped with an absorbent body 800. The absorbent body 800 can be made of absorbent sponge, absorbent cotton, etc. By setting up the absorbent body 800, the direct leakage of volatile liquid can be prevented.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The water tank 100 has several second atomizing holes 111 at the top of the first cavity 110, and the height of the water absorber 800 is greater than the height of the second atomizing holes 111. Typically, there is a gap between the second atomizing holes 111 and the bottom of the first cavity 110 to prevent the leakage of evaporating liquid.

[0048] Generally, the faceplate 200 has a groove 260, and the cover plate 500 is embedded in the groove 260. The cover plate 500 can be glued into the groove 260. Alternatively, the faceplate 200 can have a hole, and the cover plate 500 can have a post, with the hole and post interlocking.

[0049] Generally, water is used as the volatile liquid, but fragrance oils or alcohol can be added to the water as needed.

[0050] It should be noted that if the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure).
