[0040] In order to better understand the above technical solutions, the above technical solutions will be described in detail in the following by combining with the drawings in the specification and specific implementation.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] This embodiment provides an effects unit, such as... Figures 1-14 As shown, the effect unit includes an effect unit main body 1, a pedal 2, and a footplate structure 3. The effect unit main body 1 has a first mounting part 11 and a second mounting part 12 on both sides. The pedal 2 is detachably mounted on the first mounting part 11 or the second mounting part 12. One end of the footplate structure 3 is located inside the effect unit main body 1, and the other end extends out of the effect unit main body 1. The footplate structure 3 includes a footplate kit 31, an encoder knob cap 32, an upper footplate stud 33, a housing panel 34, a lower footplate nut 35, an encoder 36 with a light and a push-button switch, and a PCB board 37. The encoder knob cap 32 is sleeved on the outside of the footplate kit 31. The upper footplate stud 33 passes through the bottom of the footplate kit 31 and is tightened and fixed with the lower footplate nut 35. The housing panel 34 is sandwiched between the upper footplate stud 33 and the lower footplate nut 35. The encoder 36 is fixed to the surface of the PCB board 37 and forms an axial linkage with the encoder knob cap 32.

[0043] Specifically, the effects unit 1, as the core processing unit of the system, integrates a digital signal processor, a power module, and input / output interfaces. It reconstructs the amplitude, frequency, and harmonic structure of the sound through algorithms. A first mounting part 11 and a second mounting part 12 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the effects unit 1's housing to connect the effects unit 1 and the pedal 2. The pedal 2 is a detachable operating terminal that converts the player's foot movements into electrical signals. In this embodiment, the left and right mounting positions can be switched to accommodate the operating habits of players with different handicap preferences. The first mounting part 11 and the second mounting part 12 are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the effects unit 1's housing, allowing the pedal to be installed on either the left or right side without distinction, breaking through the traditional unilateral limitation. Left-handed players install the pedal on the left-hand first mounting part 11, while right-handed users choose the right-hand second mounting part 12. The magnetic unit 41 utilizes an array of complementary magnets to generate a strong attraction force, ensuring a stable connection between the pedal 2 and the first mounting part 11 or the second mounting part 12. Furthermore, the magnetic attraction provides a vertical fixing force, counteracting the shear force generated during pedaling and avoiding the mechanical wear problems of traditional snap-fit ​​structures.

[0044] In the footswitch structure 3, the footswitch sleeve 31 is directly operated by the user as a component, and bears the function of pressing the trigger, and can transmit pressure to the switch of the encoder 36 through mechanical linkage, and the encoder knob cap 32 is externally sleeved, and the bottom is fixed by the upper footswitch stud 33 and the lower footswitch nut 35 to form a stable support structure. The encoder knob cap 32 integrates the functions of rotation operation and light transmission, and drives the encoder to adjust the parameters when the user rotates, and the translucent material allows the internal light source to penetrate and display the state, which is sleeved outside the footswitch sleeve 31 and linked with the rotating shaft of the encoder 36 with light and press switch. The upper footswitch stud 33 and the lower footswitch nut 35 are connected by threads to fix the footswitch structure, and provide mechanical support when pressed. The upper footswitch stud 33 penetrates through the bottom of the footswitch sleeve 31, and the lower footswitch nut 35 is tightened to clamp the shell panel 34, forming a rigid fixation. The shell panel 34 is the main body of the panel of the effecter, bearing the installation of the footswitch structure, ensuring the stability of the operation, and being clamped between the upper footswitch stud 33 and the lower footswitch nut 35 to become the core layer of the structure support. The encoder 36 with light and press switch integrates three functions, which are: rotary encoding, fine parameter adjustment through the rotation of the encoder knob cap 32; press switch, circuit on-off or mode switching through the depression of the footswitch sleeve 31; light indication: built-in light source, light transmission through the encoder knob cap 32 to display the state. The encoder 36 is fixed on the PCB board 37, and the rotating shaft is linked with the encoder knob cap 32, and the press contact is in mechanical contact with the footswitch sleeve 31. The PCB board 37 is the substrate of the electronic system, bearing the encoder 36 and its circuit, realizing signal processing and light control, and being located inside the shell panel 34, and the encoder 36 is arranged on the surface, forming axial linkage with the external encoder knob cap 32. The footswitch structure provided by the embodiment has the effect of spatial integration optimization; specifically, the encoder, press switch and light in the traditional effecter need to occupy the panel position independently, and the three functions are concentrated in a single footswitch structure in the embodiment, reducing the occupation of the panel space. That is to say, the embodiment integrates the traditional dispersed encoder, press switch and light indication into a single footswitch structure through integrated design, and uses the key technologies of light transmission of the encoder knob cap 32, stud fixation and axial linkage, to maximize the saving of the panel space while ensuring the operation precision and intuitive feedback, and solves the problem of realizing multi-functional interaction in the limited panel space of the portable effecter.

[0045] That is to say, the first mounting portion 11 and the second mounting portion 12 are arranged symmetrically on both sides of the effecter host 1, and the pedal mounting mode is detachable, thereby breaking through the limitation of the traditional right-arranged fixed structure. The user can install the pedal on the left side or the right side according to actual needs, and realize flexible switching of left-hand and right-hand operations. Meanwhile, the pressing switch, the state indication and the parameter adjustment are integrated into a single operation unit, and are embodied in the pedal structure 3, thereby solving the technical problems of low panel space utilization and user attention dispersion caused by the dispersed functions of the traditional pedal structure.

[0046] In specific embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the first mounting portion 11 and the second mounting portion 12 are arranged symmetrically on both sides of the effecter host 1, and the pedal mounting mode is detachable, thereby breaking through the limitation of the traditional right-arranged fixed structure. The user can install the pedal on the left side or the right side according to actual needs, and realize flexible switching of left-hand and right-hand operations. Meanwhile, the pressing switch, the state indication and the parameter adjustment are integrated into a single operation unit, and are embodied in the pedal structure 3, thereby solving the technical problems of low panel space utilization and user attention dispersion caused by the dispersed functions of the traditional pedal structure.

[0047] Under the action of the magnetic unit 41, the pedal 2 is quickly adsorbed and fixed to the effecter host 1. The electric connection unit 42 is used to automatically establish an electrical connection path when the magnetic attraction is connected. The locking unit 43 and the magnetic unit 41 form a double insurance mechanism to avoid loose connection of the effecter host 1 and the pedal 2. It can avoid displacement or falling caused by shear force due to pure magnetic attraction connection when the pedal is stepped or impacted by external force, and can also eliminate the slight positional deviation when the magnetic attraction is connected, to ensure accurate alignment of the contacts of the electric connection unit 42.

[0048] In specific embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the electric connection unit 42 includes a set of elastic conductive contacts, and the set of elastic conductive contacts includes at least three independent contacts 421, and the at least three independent contacts 421 are distributed along the mounting axis. The locking unit 43 includes a protruding clamping portion 431 and a recessed receiving portion 432 that cooperate with each other, and the protruding clamping portion 431 and the recessed receiving portion 432 are arranged on the corresponding mounting surfaces of the effecter host 1 and the pedal 2, respectively. The magnetic unit 41 can be magnets that attract each other.

[0049] In addition, the set of elastic conductive contacts is composed of a plurality of conductive contacts with elastic deformation capability, each of which can be controllably deformed under external force and restored to its original state after the external force is removed. The independent contact 421 has the functions of transmitting power, grounding loop and digital signal, so at least three independent contacts 421 are required.

[0050] In the locking unit 43, the convex clamping part 431 and the concave receiving part 432 cooperate with each other to form a rigid physical stop to resist the transverse shear force between the pedal 2 and the effecter main machine 1, and the convex clamping part 431 and the concave receiving part 432 provide an axial positioning reference through the concave-convex cooperation, which ensures the accurate alignment of the contacts of the electrical connection unit 42 and avoids poor contact caused by magnetic attraction docking deviation. More specifically, the convex clamping part 431 is symmetrically arranged on the first mounting part 11 and the second mounting part 12, and the concave receiving part 432 is arranged on the docking end face of the pedal 2 corresponding to the position of the convex clamping part 431. Of course, the locking unit 43 can also have other structures, for example, the locking unit 43 can also include a spring-loaded pin column mounted on the effecter main machine 1 and a positioning hole opened on the pedal 2, when the pedal is attracted to the main machine, the magnetic attraction force guides the pin column to insert into the positioning hole, and the spring provides pressure to maintain the locked state.

[0051] In specific embodiments, the opening end of the concave receiving part 432 is provided with a first guide slope, the side surface of the convex clamping part 431 has a second guide slope, and the first guide slope and the second guide slope cooperate to achieve the positioning connection of the pedal 2 and the effecter main machine 1. When the pedal 2 and the effecter main machine 1 are initially close, the first guide slope of the opening end of the concave receiving part 432 provides a wedge-shaped guide channel, which changes the contact point of the convex clamping part 431 from surface contact to line contact, reduces the initial contact friction resistance, and the second guide slope of the side surface of the convex clamping part 431 and the first guide slope form a complementary angle, which provides a progressive guide force in the late stage of magnetic attraction adsorption, so that the convex clamping part 431 slides into the bottom of the concave receiving part 432 along the predetermined path.

[0052] The magnetic unit 41 is provided with at least two groups, and at least two groups of the magnetic unit 41 are distributed along the mounting axis. The magnetic fields of the at least two groups of magnetic units 41 superimpose in the docking area to form a high-strength magnetic field area, so that the pedal 2 generates a stronger adsorption guide force when approaching, and reduces the docking deviation.

[0053] In the specific use process, the user selects to install the pedal 2 to the left first mounting portion 11 or the right second mounting portion 12 of the effecter host 1 according to the left and right hand habits. When installing, the mounting surface of the pedal 2 needs to be aligned with the corresponding surface of the target mounting portion (the first mounting portion or the second mounting portion), and the positions of the convex clamping portion 431 and the groove receiving portion 432 are ensured to be approximately matched. When the pedal 2 is close to the mounting portion, the magnetic unit 41 adsorbs the pedal 2 to the surface of the effecter host 1. This stage realizes preliminary fixation, avoids the pedal from slipping off, and provides a basis for subsequent accurate positioning. On the basis of magnetic adsorption, the second guide inclined surface of the convex clamping portion 431 is in contact with the first guide inclined surface of the groove receiving portion 432. The user pushes the pedal 2 gently, and the inclined surface guides the convex to slide into the inside of the groove until it is completely embedded. This process eliminates installation deviation, ensures that the pedal 2 is accurately aligned with the effecter host 1, and forms mechanical interlocking. When the pedal 2 is locked in place, the axially distributed elastic conductive contacts are deformed under pressure and are in close contact with the corresponding contacts of the effecter host 1. At least three independent contacts bear power supply, control signal and audio path respectively, and the elastic design compensates for tolerance to ensure signal transmission stability.

[0054] In a specific embodiment, the encoder knob cap 32 is made of a light-transmitting material, and the bottom thereof is provided with a clamping portion matched with the shaft core of the encoder, and the surface thereof is provided with anti-skid stripes.

[0055] The encoder knob cap 32 is made of a light-transmitting material, and the purpose is to realize the light indication function. Through the light-transmitting property, the light source integrated in the encoder can penetrate the surface of the encoder knob cap 32, forming an intuitive state display. Common light-transmitting materials such as polycarbonate, acrylic or translucent ABS can be selected. The top surface of the encoder knob cap 32 can have a microstructure design, and the core function is to optimize the light propagation path. The specific effects include uniform scattering of light, which can be achieved through prism-like, dot matrix or grid-like lines, breaking the straight-line propagation of light, so that the light emitted by the LED light source is uniformly distributed on the knob surface, avoiding the appearance of light spots or uneven brightness.

[0056] The bottom of the encoder knob cap 32 is provided with a clamping portion matched with the shaft core of the encoder 36. Through the close cooperation of the clamping portion and the shaft core of the encoder 36, the action of rotating the knob cap by the user is accurately transmitted to the encoder, realizing the parameter adjustment function, and also ensuring that the encoder knob cap 32 does not separate from the shaft core of the encoder 36 in frequent rotation operation, maintaining long-term stability.

[0057] The effectors are often used in stage, rehearsal and other scenes, and users may operate in dim environment or emergency adjustment, fingers / feet are easy to sweat or slip, the anti-slip stripes of the embodiment can ensure that users quickly and accurately complete the rotation or pressing operation, avoid parameter adjustment error or function mis-triggering caused by slipping. The anti-slip stripes destroy the smooth plane through the surface microstructure, improve the friction between the fingers / feet and the knob, and the anti-slip stripes form a touch difference, helping users quickly locate the knob direction or pressing position when blind operation. More specifically, the anti-slip stripes can be transverse and / or longitudinal grooves, point-like protrusion arrays, or wave patterns, etc.

[0058] In specific embodiments, as shown in Figure 10 The outer shell 311 provides rigid support for the internal reset spring 312, and the guide slot in the inner wall of the outer shell 311 defines the movement trajectory of the pedal sleeve 31, ensuring that it only moves vertically during pressing operation, avoiding deviation or inclination, and ensuring the stability and accuracy of the action. The reset spring 312 stores elastic potential energy through its compression deformation, and after the user releases the pressure, the spring releases energy to drive the pedal sleeve to return to the initial position, achieving automatic reset. After the outer shell 311 cooperates with the reset spring 312, during the pressing stage, the user applies a vertical downward force to the pedal sleeve 31, and the outer shell 311 slides downward, at which time the reset spring 312 is compressed and stores elastic potential energy, and the pressure is transmitted to the press switch contact of the encoder 36 through the outer shell 311, triggering the corresponding function; during the reset stage, after the user releases the pressure, the elastic potential energy of the reset spring 312 is converted into an upward thrust to push the outer shell 311 to rebound to the initial position along the guide slot, and the constraint of the guide slot ensures that there is no lateral deviation during the reset process, ensuring that the pedal sleeve 31 is axially aligned with the encoder knob cap 32, avoiding jamming.

[0059] In specific embodiments, the encoder 36 is integrated with a light module, the light emitting surface of the light module faces the encoder knob cap 32, and the encoder 36 has a press switch inside, which triggers the switch signal inside the encoder 36 through the pressing action of the pedal sleeve 31, so that the light of the encoder 36 is guided and displayed through the encoder knob cap 32. The light module is a combination of LED or multi-color LED, and the light module can display multiple colors and dynamic effects (such as constant light, breathing, flashing), directly reflecting the working state of the effector. For example: red represents parameter locking or effect off, blue represents delay effect activated, and gradient color represents dynamic change during parameter adjustment. The light module is directly integrated inside the encoder 36, without the need for additional installation of independent indicator lights, saving panel space.

[0060] The pressure is transmitted through the shell 311, the reset spring 312 and the press switch in turn, and the light path is transmitted through the light module and the surface of the encoder knob cap 32 in turn, so as to seamlessly connect the user operation, function triggering and state feedback, realize efficient multi-functional interaction in the limited panel space, and ensure the operation precision and reliability in the complex environment such as stage.

[0061] In specific embodiments, the PCB 37 is integrated with a rotary code detection circuit and a pressure detection circuit, the rotary code detection circuit is electrically connected with the rotary action of the encoder knob cap 32, and the pressure detection circuit forms a signal path with the press switch. The rotary code detection circuit captures the rotary action of the encoder knob cap 32, analyzes the rotation direction (clockwise / counter-clockwise) and the step quantity (rotation angle or pulse number), and is used for fine adjustment of parameters (such as increase / decrease of reverb intensity). The pressure detection circuit converts the on-off state of the press switch in the encoder 36 into an electric signal, identifies the short press, long press or no operation state, and is used for triggering functions (such as power on / off, mode switching).

[0062] In specific embodiments, as shown in Figure 10 The shell panel 34 is provided with a mounting hole 341, and the diameter of the mounting hole 341 is greater than the outer diameter of the upper stud screw 33, so that the shell panel 34 can move up and down. The diameter of the mounting hole 341 is greater than the outer diameter of the upper stud screw 33, so that an annular gap is formed between the mounting hole 341 and the upper stud screw 33, which allows the stud assembly 31 to move in the vertical direction within a limited range. When the user presses the encoder knob cap 32, the shell 311 compresses the reset spring 312 through the guide sliding groove, and at this time the shell panel 34 moves downward within the gap range of the mounting hole 341, triggering the press switch inside the encoder 36. After releasing, the reset spring 312 pushes the structure to reset, and the diameter difference of the mounting hole 341 provides the necessary physical space for mechanical movement during the process.

[0063] The assembly process of the stud structure 3 is as follows: Figures 11-14As shown, the encoder 36 with the light module and the press switch is fixed on the PCB board 37, ensuring that the shaft core is perpendicular to the surface of the PCB board, and the light-emitting surface of the light module faces the installation direction of the encoder knob cap 32; the upper press stud column 33 is inserted into the installation hole 341 of the shell panel 34, and since the diameter of the installation hole is larger than the outer diameter of the stud, the stud can pass freely but is not completely fixed. At this time, the shell panel 34 is in an un-compressed state, leaving a space for up and down movement; the clamping part of the encoder knob cap 32 is aligned with the shaft core of the encoder 36, and the axial linkage is achieved through buckling or interference fit; the shell 311 of the press stud set 31 is sleeved outside the encoder knob cap 32, and the reset spring 312 is installed in the guide sliding groove, ensuring that the spring provides upward reset elastic force; the lower press stud nut 35 is tightened from the bottom of the shell panel 34 and the upper press stud column 33, so that the shell panel 34 is clamped between the upper press stud column 33 and the lower press stud nut 35. Adjust the tightness of the nut to ensure that the panel can move up and down but does not shake. At this time, the reset spring 312 of the press stud set 31 is in a pre-compressed state, providing initial resilience.

[0064] The present embodiment integrates the encoder 36, the press switch and the light module in the same axial space, achieving the following functions: first, rotation adjustment: the rotation of the encoder knob cap 32 is transmitted to the shaft core of the encoder 36, triggering the rotary code detection circuit; specifically, a pulse signal is generated through the internal mechanical structure (such as photoelectric or mechanical contact), and the microcontroller decodes the signal to determine the rotation direction and the number of steps. Second, press operation: the press stud set 31 is pressed to drive the vertical movement of the shell panel 34, triggering the press switch inside the encoder 36; specifically, the press operation is achieved through the internal spring and contact, and the switch signal is triggered when pressed; third, light feedback: the light of the light module is evenly diffused through the encoder knob cap 32, showing the device status (such as parameter locking, mode switching).

[0065] The working process of the press stud structure provided by the present embodiment is as follows: the user steps on the encoder knob cap 32, the press stud set 31 moves downward under the action of external force, overcoming the elastic force of the reset spring 312, and the pressure is conducted to the press switch of the encoder 36 through the displacement of the shell panel 34. When the pressure reaches the threshold value, the press switch inside the encoder 36 is closed, and the pressure detection circuit on the PCB board 37 generates a signal (such as short press to switch mode, long press to lock parameter). After releasing the pressure, the reset spring 312 pushes the press stud set 31 to rebound, the shell panel 34 resets, and the encoder knob cap 32 returns to the initial height. The user rotates the encoder knob cap 32, and the bottom clamping part drives the synchronous rotation of the shaft core of the encoder 36. The rotary code detection circuit inside the encoder 36 converts the rotation angle into a pulse signal, and the PCB board 37 adjusts the sound effect parameters after analyzing the signal. The light module of the encoder 36 dynamically changes the color or brightness according to the current parameter state (such as numerical range, mode), and the light is transmitted through the rotary encoder knob cap 32, providing visual feedback.
