[0019] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0020] It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intermediary component present. Conversely, when a component is said to be "directly" connected to another component, there is no intermediary component.
[0021] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a guitar pickup includes a housing 1, a pickup bar 21, a microphone 22, a circuit board 3, at least three volume and tone adjustment switches 4, at least two control switches 5, and an audio output interface 6. The circuit board 3 is installed inside the housing 1 and has an audio processing module. The pickup bar 21 and the microphone 22 are installed at preset positions on the guitar amplifier and are electrically connected to the circuit board 3 through the pickup bar audio interface 23 and the microphone audio interface 24, respectively, for acquiring the guitar's audio information. The three volume and tone adjustment switches 4 are sequentially installed on one side of the circuit board 3 along the X-axis, and the two control switches 5 are sequentially installed on the other side of the circuit board 3 along the X-axis. The two control switches 5 correspond to the gaps 11 between two adjacent volume and tone adjustment switches 4 in the Y-axis direction. The audio output interface 6 is installed on the circuit board 3.
[0023] The control switch 5 can be, for example, a bass adjustment switch and a phase adjustment switch. The three volume and tone adjustment switches 4 can be a microphone volume control switch, a tone adjustment switch, and a master volume switch. The audio output interface 6 connects to an external speaker via an output cable. Arranging the three volume and tone adjustment switches 4 and the two control switches 5 in two rows effectively reduces the width of the guitar pickup housing 1 and the overall size of the guitar pickup. The staggered arrangement of the three volume and tone adjustment switches 4 and the two control switches 5 in two rows facilitates operation of these switches by the guitarist.
[0024] After acquiring the audio information of the guitar performance through the pickup bar 21 and microphone 22, the audio information is transmitted to the audio processing module on the circuit board 3 through the pickup bar audio interface 23 and microphone audio interface 24 for processing. The processed audio information is then sent to the audio output interface 6 through the circuit, and the audio output interface 6 outputs the audio information to the external speaker for playback.
[0025] In this way, the guitar pickup, through the coordinated arrangement of housing 1, pickup bar 21, microphone 22, circuit board 3, at least three volume and tone adjustment switches 4, at least two control switches 5, and audio output interface 6, with the three volume and tone adjustment switches 4 sequentially mounted on one side of circuit board 3 along the X-axis, and the two control switches 5 sequentially mounted on the other side of circuit board 3 along the X-axis, and the two control switches 5 corresponding to the gaps 11 between two adjacent volume and tone adjustment switches 4 in the Y-axis direction, so that the three volume and tone adjustment switches 4 and the two control switches 5 are arranged side by side and staggered, effectively reducing the size of the pickup and making it convenient to install the pickup in the guitar's soundbox.
[0026] In one embodiment, the housing 1 has an arc-shaped mounting plate 12 at one end near the three volume and tone adjustment switches 4, the shape of which is adapted to the shape of the guitar soundhole.
[0027] In this way, the shape of the arc-shaped mounting plate 12 is adapted to the shape of the guitar soundhole, making it convenient for guitar players to adjust the volume control switch 4 and the control switch 5.
[0028] In one embodiment, the top surface of the housing 1 has a notch 13 for engaging with a pickup mount.
[0029] In this way, the guitar has a pickup limiter in the inner layer, and the shape of the notch 13 is adapted to the shape and size of the pickup limiter. When installing the pickup, the pickup limiter can be accommodated in the notch 13, and the pickup installation can be completed quickly.
[0030] like Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, the housing 1 is provided with volume control switch receiving holes 14 in sequence, so that at least a portion of the volume control switch 4 is received in the volume control switch receiving holes 14; the housing 1 is provided with control switch receiving holes 15 in sequence, so that at least a portion of the control switch 5 is received in the control switch receiving holes 15, and the control switch receiving holes 15 correspond to the gaps 11 between two adjacent volume control switch receiving holes 14 in the Y-axis direction.
[0031] In this way, by setting the volume control switch receiving hole 14 and the control switch receiving hole 15, the volume control switch 4 and the control switch 5 can at least partially protrude beyond the volume control switch receiving hole 14 and the control switch receiving hole 15, making it convenient for guitar players to operate.
[0032] In one embodiment, the bottom of the housing 1 is provided with an audio output interface receiving hole 16, and the audio output interface 6 is connected to an external audio cable through the audio output interface receiving hole 16.
[0033] In this way, the audio output interface receiving hole 16 makes it easy to connect the audio output interface 6 to an external audio cable.
[0034] In one embodiment, a sponge double-sided adhesive 17 is installed on the top surface of the housing 1, and the sponge double-sided adhesive 17 is made of a soft material.
[0035] In this way, when the pickup is installed inside the guitar cabinet, the double-sided foam tape 17 can bond the pickup to the inner layer of the guitar cabinet. At the same time, the double-sided foam tape 17 abuts against the inner layer of the guitar. As a soft material, the double-sided foam tape allows for soft contact between the pickup and the inner layer of the guitar cabinet, effectively preventing mechanical damage to the pickup. Moreover, the softness of the foam can adapt to uneven bonding surfaces (such as rough walls or curved materials), ensuring a tight bond between the pickup and the inner layer of the guitar cabinet.
[0036] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
