Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Jinghu (a two-stringed bowed instrument) technology, specifically to a Jinghu (another two-stringed bowed instrument) protective bridge. Background Technology
[0002] In the making of the Jinghu (a two-stringed bowed instrument), a relatively thin membrane is typically used for the skin. This membrane is stretched tightly over the body of the instrument. The thin membrane, combined with the high tension created by the stretching, keeps the Jinghu skin under constant high pressure. Furthermore, during performance, the two high-pressed strings press down on the skin through the bridge at the bottom, further increasing the pressure on the already thin and taut skin. Over time, or with increased temperature fluctuations in the environment, this can easily cause the skin to crack and peel.
[0003] Currently, operators typically reduce the pressure on the skin of the jinghu (a two-stringed bowed instrument) by pushing the bridge above the body of the instrument. However, this requires pushing the bridge back to its original position before each performance and then pushing it back above the body of the instrument after each performance. This frequent movement of the bridge on the skin not only easily damages the skin but also makes it difficult for the strings to return to their precise positions from the last performance, resulting in changes in string pitch and requiring retuning, which is very inconvenient. Therefore, a new type of bridge for the jinghu is needed. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a Jinghu (Beijing opera fiddle) bridge that can raise the strings when the Jinghu is not in use, avoid the strings putting pressure on the skin, eliminate the need to frequently move the Jinghu's original bridge, and improve the service life of the Jinghu.
[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a Jinghu (a two-stringed bowed instrument) bridge, the body of which is placed on the Jinghu, the body including a support part, flat openings on both sides of the support part, an arched part below the support part of the body, and a flat part below the flat openings on the body, the flat part being connected to both ends of the arched part.
[0006] In some embodiments, the base of the Jinghu is provided with a fixed bridge, the body is located above the fixed bridge, the fixed bridge supports the strings, and the strings are in contact with the body.
[0007] In some embodiments, the height of the support portion is higher than the height of the inherent bridge.
[0008] In some embodiments, the supporting part includes a lifting block and a fixing block. A sliding rod is provided on both sides of the lifting block, and each sliding rod is slidably connected to the fixing block. A threaded rod is screwed into the middle of the lifting block, and the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the fixing block.
[0009] In some embodiments, the lifting block and the threaded rod are connected by a slot, and the inner wall of the slot near the fixed block is provided with a thread.
[0010] In some embodiments, the body is made of bamboo or wood.
[0011] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] This invention places the main body above the original bridge of the Jinghu (a two-stringed bowed instrument), using the supporting part and the original bridge to raise the strings, so that the strings do not come into contact with the skin of the Jinghu, reducing the pressure of the strings on the skin and thus preventing the skin from bursting during Jinghu playing. It also eliminates the need to frequently move the original bridge of the Jinghu. At the same time, the arched part and flat part can transmit the force of the strings pressing on the main body to the cross-section of the soundbox wood, preventing pressure on the vibrating part of the skin, further protecting the Jinghu and increasing its service life.

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.
[0020] See Figure 1-3 A type of Jinghu (Beijing opera fiddle) bridge, the body 2 is placed on the Jinghu 1, the body 2 includes a support part 21, flat openings 22 are provided on both sides of the support part 21, an arched part 23 is provided below the support part 21 on the body 2, a flat part 24 is provided below the flat openings 22 on the body 2, the flat part 24 is connected to the two ends of the arched part 23, a fixed bridge 11 is provided on the base of the Jinghu 1, the body 2 is located above the fixed bridge 11, the fixed bridge 11 supports the strings 12, and the strings 12 are in contact with the body 2. When using the main body 2, after playing the Jinghu 1 and when not in use, the main body 2 should be placed between the strings 12 and the skin. The two flat parts 24 of the main body 2 are located on the cross-section of the soundbox of the Jinghu 1 and are placed above the inherent bridge 11. The inherent bridge 11 and the supporting part 21 of the main body 2 together raise the strings 12, so that the strings 12 do not contact the skin when the Jinghu 1 is not in use, and do not put pressure on the skin, thus avoiding the skin from bursting when the Jinghu 1 is in use. In addition, the arched part 23 can prevent the vibrating part of the skin from contacting the main body 2, and prevent the supporting part 21 of the main body 2 from transmitting the pressure from the strings 12 to the vibrating part of the skin, thus further protecting the Jinghu 1 and increasing its service life.
[0021] In some embodiments, the height of the support portion 21 is higher than the height of the inherent bridge 11. The height of the support portion 21 is slightly higher than the height of the inherent bridge 11, which ensures that the support portion 21 elevates the strings 12 so that they no longer contact the skin, thereby reducing the pressure on the skin.
[0022] In some embodiments, the support portion 21 includes a lifting block 211 and a fixing block 212. A sliding rod 26 is provided on both sides of the lifting block 211, and each sliding rod 26 is slidably connected to the fixing block 212. A threaded rod 25 is screwed into the middle of the lifting block 211, and the threaded rod 25 is rotatably connected to the fixing block 212. When the operator places the body 2 onto the Jinghu 1, the operator can adjust the height of the lifting block 211 in the support portion 21 according to the tension of the strings 12. This ensures that the lifting block 211 elevates the strings 12, preventing contact with the skin, so that the body 2 is still pressed and fixed onto the Jinghu 1 by the strings 12, thus ensuring the elevating effect.
[0023] In some embodiments, the lifting block 211 and the threaded rod 25 are connected by a slot, and the inner wall of the slot near the fixed block 212 is provided with threads. The slot ensures that the operator has enough space to move the lifting block 211 up and down by turning the threaded rod 25, ensuring smooth adjustment.
[0024] In some embodiments, the main body 2 is made of bamboo or wood. Made of bamboo and wood, it is simple, lightweight, and easy to carry, with low production costs, making it very convenient.
[0025] In some embodiments, the body 2 can also be applied to the Jing Erhu to ensure that the Jing Erhu skin is not subjected to pressure from the strings 12, thereby improving the service life of the Jing Erhu.
[0026] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
