Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of speaker technology, specifically a portable speaker for stringed instruments. Background Technology

[0002] A dedicated amplifier for string instruments is a speaker device specifically designed for string instruments. It is widely used in music performances, professional recording studios, and daily practice, and can better reproduce the timbre and expressiveness of string instruments.

[0003] Currently, commercially available string instrument amplifiers typically connect to stringed instruments such as guitars and ukuleles via multiple cables, and these amplifiers are generally fixed to the ground in actual use. When performers move their instruments around the performance venue, the cables between the amplifier and the instrument can easily become tangled, affecting the cleanliness of the performance environment and potentially causing equipment malfunctions due to the dragging cables.

[0004] Furthermore, existing speaker systems lack integrated storage designs for string instruments when not in use. Instruments such as guitars and ukuleles require separate racks for storage. This separate structure reveals drawbacks such as redundant space occupation and inconvenience in roadshows, outdoor performances, and mobile practice scenarios, failing to meet the core needs of modern users for integrated equipment functions, efficient space utilization, and adaptability to mobile scenarios. Therefore, we propose a portable speaker system specifically designed for string instruments to effectively address these shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a portable speaker box specifically for stringed instruments, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art where the cables between the speaker box and the instrument are easily tangled during performances, and where it is inconvenient to store the instrument when not in use.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a portable soundbox specifically for stringed instruments, comprising:

[0007] The speaker body has a dedicated pickup for string instruments installed on its side wall;

[0008] Front clamp, which is integrally formed on the top of the speaker body;

[0009] The rear clamp plate slides on the top of the speaker body and is parallel to the front clamp plate;

[0010] A spacing adjustment mechanism is connected between the front clamping plate and the rear clamping plate to adjust the distance between the rear clamping plate and the front clamping plate.

[0011] Optionally, a first anti-scratch film is glued to the side of the rear clamping plate near the front clamping plate, and a second anti-scratch film is glued to the side of the front clamping plate near the rear clamping plate.

[0012] Optionally, the spacing adjustment mechanism includes two parallel and spaced-apart adjustment rods, each of which is fixed to the inner surface of the rear clamping plate;

[0013] Fixed sleeves corresponding to each adjusting rod are fixed on the front clamp plate, and each fixed sleeve is slidably sleeved on the corresponding adjusting rod; an extension screw is movably inserted in each fixed sleeve, and an adjusting groove is opened in each adjusting rod to be helically engaged with the extension screw.

[0014] Optionally, the projection of the fixing sleeve onto the vertical plane is T-shaped, and one end of the fixing sleeve extends between the front clamping plate and the rear clamping plate.

[0015] Optionally, a support block is fixed to the top of the speaker body, and the two ends of the support block are respectively fixedly sleeved on each fixed sleeve;

[0016] The top of the support block has a trapezoidal placement groove, and a soft pad is laid on the upper surface of the support block.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a portable soundbox specifically for stringed instruments, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] This invention, by incorporating a front clamp, a rear clamp, and a spacing adjustment mechanism, allows the speaker body to be fixed to the tail of a stringed instrument during performances. This enables the speaker to move synchronously with the instrument, completely eliminating the messy wiring problems caused by traditional speaker cables. Performers can move freely throughout the performance venue, enhancing their stage presence. When not in use, the speaker body can be placed stably on the ground, transforming into a stringed instrument rack. This cleverly solves the problem of storing instruments when not in use, avoiding the inconvenience and space-consuming issues associated with relying on separate racks. This design effectively integrates speaker and instrument placement functions, significantly improving the device's integration and portability, providing users with a more convenient and efficient experience in various scenarios such as travel, street performances, and daily practice.

[0024] 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.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 4 A portable string instrument amplifier includes an amplifier body 1. A dedicated string pickup is mounted on the side wall of the amplifier body 1, which can accurately capture string vibration signals and convert them into electrical signals. An effects unit is mounted on the front of the amplifier body 1, supporting real-time tone modification and dynamic processing of the pickup signals, such as reverb, delay, and equalization adjustments, thereby meeting the performer's personalized sound style requirements.

[0026] This embodiment also includes a front clamping plate 2, a rear clamping plate 3, and a spacing adjustment mechanism 4. During performances, the speaker body 1 can be fixed to the tail of a stringed instrument, allowing the speaker to move synchronously with the instrument. In non-performance situations, the speaker body 1 can be placed stably on the ground, functioning as a stringed instrument rack for storage. This design effectively integrates speaker and instrument placement functions, significantly improving device integration and portability, providing users with a more convenient and efficient experience in various scenarios such as travel, roadshow performances, and daily practice.

[0027] Specifically, the front clamping plate 2 is integrally formed on the top of the speaker body 1, making the overall device relatively flat and aesthetically pleasing. The rear clamping plate 3 slides on the top of the speaker body 1 and is parallel to the front clamping plate 2; the shape of the rear clamping plate 3 is the same as the shape of the front clamping plate 2, making the overall speaker body more harmonious. When the rear clamping plate 3 moves closer to the front clamping plate 2, it can clamp and fix the body of stringed instruments such as guitars and ukuleles. The spacing adjustment mechanism 4 is connected between the front clamping plate 2 and the rear clamping plate 3, and is used to adjust the distance between the rear clamping plate 3 and the front clamping plate 2, thereby enabling the clamping of stringed instruments of different thicknesses.

[0028] In this embodiment, a first anti-scratch film 7 is glued to the side of the rear clamping plate 3 near the front clamping plate 2, and a second anti-scratch film 8 is glued to the side of the front clamping plate 2 near the rear clamping plate 3. This can effectively disperse the clamping pressure, prevent the clamping plates from directly contacting the surface of the instrument body, and prevent scratches, indentations, and other damage.

[0029] The following is a description of the spacing adjustment mechanism 4:

[0030] The spacing adjustment mechanism 4 includes two parallel and spaced-apart adjusting rods 401, each fixed to the inner side of the rear clamping plate 3. A fixed sleeve 402, corresponding to each adjusting rod 401, is fixed to the front clamping plate 2, and each fixed sleeve 402 is slidably fitted onto its corresponding adjusting rod 401. An extension screw 403 is movably inserted into each fixed sleeve 402, and an adjusting groove 404, screw-fitted to the extension screw 403, is formed within each adjusting rod 401. By rotating the extension screw 403 clockwise or counterclockwise, the rear clamping plate 3 can be linearly displaced along the adjusting rod 401, precisely adjusting the spacing between the front and rear clamping plates to accommodate the clamping needs of stringed instruments of different sizes.

[0031] With the above design, when the position of the rear clamp 3 needs to be adjusted, the user only needs to hold the extension screw 403 and rotate it clockwise or counterclockwise. As the extension screw 403 rotates, it forms a helical drive with the adjustment groove 404 in the adjustment rod 401. Under the thrust generated by the thread engagement, the adjustment rod 401 can slide smoothly along the axial direction of the fixed sleeve 402, thereby driving the rear clamp 3 fixedly connected to it to move synchronously.

[0032] By continuously adjusting the number of rotations of the extended screw 403, the distance between the rear clamp 3 and the front clamp 2 can be precisely controlled, allowing for quick adaptation and adjustment of both ukulele bodies and guitar bodies. The entire operation requires no additional tools and can be achieved simply through hand rotation, truly demonstrating a sophisticated structure and convenient, efficient operation.

[0033] It is worth mentioning that the projection of the fixing sleeve 402 in the vertical plane is T-shaped, and one end of the fixing sleeve 402 extends between the front clamping plate 2 and the rear clamping plate 3. Furthermore, a support block 5 is fixed to the top of the speaker body 1, with both ends of the support block 5 respectively fixedly fitted onto each fixing sleeve 402; a trapezoidal placement groove 9 is provided on the top of the support block 5 for placing the instrument body. A soft pad 6 is laid on the upper surface of the support block 5 to prevent scratching the instrument body. This structure forms a wraparound barrier on both sides of the instrument body; even if subjected to slight external impact, the soft pad 6 can deform to offset the impact force, preventing the instrument body from tipping over and providing all-around safety protection for stringed instruments.
