Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of guitar technology, specifically a guitar shell. Background Technology

[0002] In the guitar manufacturing industry, the way the body and neck are connected has a crucial impact on the guitar's tone, playability, and stability. Currently, bolt connections are widely used in the production of electric guitars and some acoustic guitars due to their advantages such as ease of disassembly and adjustment of the neck angle.

[0003] However, the traditional bolt connection method has obvious drawbacks. During the daily use of a guitar, especially during frequent playing, transportation, or when subjected to external impacts, the bolts connecting the body and neck are prone to loosening. Loose bolts not only cause changes in the relative position of the neck and body, affecting the playing feel and intonation, but also cause poor transmission of string vibrations, making the guitar tone muddy and reducing resonance.

[0004] Furthermore, once the bolts become loose, the performer needs to frequently check and tighten them, which undoubtedly increases the cost of use and maintenance burden, and reduces the user experience.

[0005] Therefore, a guitar shell is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the problems mentioned in the background section, this invention provides a guitar shell that restricts the displacement and rotation of the fixing bolts, thereby greatly enhancing the stability of the connection between the guitar body and the neck.

[0008] The positioning assembly includes a fixed shell fixed to the neck of the instrument. Two springs are arranged symmetrically inside the fixed shell. A movable plate is connected to the opposite end of each spring. A movable rod is connected to the side of the movable plate away from the springs. The end of the movable rod passes through the fixed shell and is connected to a serrated plate. A serrated groove corresponding to the serrated plate is formed on the head of the fixing bolt. A toggle rod is fixedly connected to one side of the movable plate. A through groove is formed on the fixed shell at a position corresponding to the toggle rod, and the toggle rod passes through the through groove.

[0009] Preferably, the body of the instrument is composed of a front panel, side panels, and a back panel, with the side panels fixedly connecting the front panel and the back panel. The front panel is made of wood, while the side panels and the back panel are made of carbon fiber.

[0031] 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.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this utility model provides a guitar shell, including a body 1 and a neck 2. The body 1 and the neck 2 are connected by a fixing bolt 3. A positioning component 4 is provided on the neck 2 at a position corresponding to the fixing bolt 3.

[0033] The positioning component 4 includes a fixed housing 401 fixed to the neck 2. Two symmetrically arranged springs 402 are installed inside the fixed housing 401. A movable plate 403 is connected to the ends of the springs 402 that are furthest apart. A movable rod 404 is connected to the side of the movable plate 403 furthest from the springs 402. The end of the movable rod 404 passes through the fixed housing 401 and is connected to a serrated plate 405. A serrated groove 406 corresponding to the serrated plate 405 is formed on the head of the fixing bolt 3. A lever 407 is fixedly connected to one side of the movable plate 403. A through groove 408 is formed on the fixed housing 401 at a position corresponding to the lever 407. The lever 407 passes through the through groove 408, effectively limiting the displacement and rotation of the fixing bolt 3. This greatly enhances the stability of the connection between the body 1 and the neck 2, reduces the frequency of loosening of the fixing bolt 3, reduces the number of times the player needs to check and tighten the bolt, saves maintenance time and effort, and avoids performance degradation caused by loose bolts, extending the guitar's lifespan and reducing maintenance costs.

[0034] Specifically, the body 1 is composed of a front panel 101, a side panel 102, and a back panel 103. The side panel 102 is fixedly connected to the front panel 101 and the back panel 103. The front panel 101 is made of wood, and the side panel 102 and the back panel 103 are made of carbon fiber.

[0035] Furthermore, a protective cover 5 is provided on the body 1, which covers the side panel 102 and the back panel 103. The protective cover 5 can be made of rubber or silicone, which is soft and elastic, can fit tightly to the body 1, provide good cushioning protection, and has a certain anti-slip performance.

[0036] Furthermore, the neck 2 is composed of a fingerboard 201 and a headstock 202. The bottom of the fingerboard 201 is connected to the body 1, and the top of the fingerboard 201 is connected to the headstock 202.

[0037] It is worth noting that a slot 6 is provided at the bottom of the neck 2, and a plate 7 is provided in the slot 6. The plate 7 is fixedly connected to the body 1, and the fixing bolt 3 connects the plate 7 and the neck 2.

[0038] It is worth noting that a positioning groove 8 is provided at the top of the slot 6, and a positioning rod 9 is provided in the positioning groove 8. The positioning rod 9 is fixedly connected to the insert plate 7 to ensure the accuracy of the position when the neck 2 is connected to the body 1 and to reduce the occurrence of neck 2 position deviation.

[0039] It is worth mentioning that a limiting groove 10 is provided on the body 1 at the position corresponding to the neck 2. A limiting plate 11 is provided in the limiting groove 10. The limiting plate 11 is fixedly connected to the neck 2, which further ensures the accuracy of the position when the neck 2 is connected to the body 1, reduces the occurrence of neck 2 position deviation, and ensures the stability of the connection between the neck 2 and the body 1.

[0040] Working principle and process: After the fixing bolt 3 connects the body 1 and the neck 2, the spring 402 of the positioning component 4 will release its elastic force, thereby pushing the movable plate 403 and the movable rod 404 to move. Then, the serrated plate 405 is pressed against the bolt head of the fixing bolt 3, so that the serrations on the serrated plate 405 extend into the serrated groove 406 on the bolt head, which can restrict the rotation of the fixing bolt 3. When the neck 2 needs to be disassembled, the thumb and forefinger pinch the two levers 407 to bring them closer together. Then, the movable plate 403 drives the movable rod 404 and the serrated plate 405 to move closer together, so that the serrated plate 405 is away from the bolt head of the fixing bolt 3, so that the fixing bolt 3 can be unscrewed, realizing the separation of the body 1 and the neck 2. Furthermore, the slot 6, insert plate 7, positioning groove 8, positioning rod 9, limiting groove 10, limiting plate 11 and other structures can ensure the accuracy of the position when the neck 2 is connected to the body 1, reduce the occurrence of neck 2 position displacement, and ensure the stability of the connection between the neck 2 and the body 1.
