[0001] This utility model relates to record players, and more particularly to record players with precision fine-tuning tonearms. Background Technology

[0002] A precision tonearm turntable is a device used to play vinyl records. It uses a tonearm to carry a cartridge and converts the vibration generated by the contact between the stylus and the grooves of the record into an electrical signal, thereby playing sound.

[0003] In existing technology, the typical operating procedure for a precision tonearm turntable is as follows: First, place the cartridge on a stable platform, connect the power supply, and turn on the device. Next, carefully place the vinyl record on the turntable, aligning its center with the turntable axis. Then, the user will attempt to adjust the tonearm position so that the stylus falls precisely at the beginning of the record. Adjusting the tonearm primarily relies on simple knobs or manual adjustment mechanisms to change its height, angle, and horizontal position.

[0004] However, external vibrations or vibrations from the equipment itself can cause tonearm displacement and stylus deviation from the groove, further increasing tracking error, severely damaging sound quality, and greatly affecting the user's music listening experience. To address these issues, a precision fine-tuning tonearm turntable was proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a precision fine-tuning tonearm record player, which aims to solve the problem of stylus deviation from the groove in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a precision fine-tuning tonearm turntable, including a housing, a box body fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing, a tonearm rotatably connected to the top outer wall of the box body, an adjustment mechanism provided on the top outer wall of the box body, the adjustment mechanism including a fixing plate, the bottom of the fixing plate fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the tonearm, a support rod fixedly connected to the top of the fixing plate, a slide rail fixedly connected to the top of the support rod, a slider slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide rail, a limit plate slidably connected to the inner wall of the slider, and magnetic grooves respectively provided on the two outer walls of the slide rail.

[0026] 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.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3This utility model provides an embodiment of a precision fine-tuning tonearm turntable, including a housing 1. A housing 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. A tonearm 3 is rotatably connected to the top outer wall of the housing 2. The tonearm 3 can rotate around its connection point with the housing 2. This rotatable connection allows the tonearm 3 to move flexibly, thereby accurately placing the stylus on different positions of the record. This ensures the stylus can follow the grooves of the record, accurately reading the information on the record and guaranteeing the continuity and accuracy of music playback. An adjustment mechanism 4 is provided on the top outer wall of the housing 2. The adjustment mechanism 4 includes a fixing plate 401, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the housing 2. On the top outer wall of the tonearm 3, a fixed plate 401 is used to provide support. As a base, a support rod 402 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed plate 401. The support rod 402 raises the entire height. A slide rail 403 is fixedly connected to the top of the support rod 402. Normally, it is located in the middle of the slide rail 403. It can also be removed and not placed on it. When the slider 404 moves to one end of the movable axis point of the cartridge 2 where the tonearm 3 is located, it can increase the force at that end, so that the other end is pulled by force and will not fall easily. When the slider 404 moves to the side of the mirror image mentioned above, the tonearm 3 can be pressed down by gravity during use, so that the stylus can make closer contact with the record.

[0028] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 The inner wall of the slider 404 is slidably connected to the limiting plate 407, which can play a limiting role. The outer walls on both sides of the slide rail 403 are respectively provided with magnetic grooves 410, and all the inner walls of the magnetic grooves 410 are fixedly connected with magnets to play a magnetic attraction role.

[0029] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7The top of slider 404 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 405. Slider 404 serves as a counterweight to enhance the gravity effect. A sliding groove is formed on the top outer wall of slide rail 403, and slider 404 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove. Slider 404 slides in the sliding groove on slide rail 403 by a sliding block fixedly connected to its bottom, which can achieve the effects of limiting and counterweighting. An elliptical wheel 406 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of rotating shaft 405. By rotating elliptical wheel 406, the protrusions can be used to squeeze the two limiting plates 407 away from each other. A groove is formed on the outer wall of slider 404, and a limiting block 408 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove. The limiting block 408 controls the movement of the slider in the groove. The internal sliding action limits the position plate 407, restricting its path and preventing it from detaching from the slider 404. The outer wall of the limiting block 408 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limiting plate 407. A magnetic block 409 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limiting plate 407. The outer wall of the magnetic block 409 is made of iron and can be magnetically fixed in the magnetic slot 410, while also being easy to disassemble. The magnetic block 409 is compatible with the magnetic slot 410. A placement plate 411 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the housing 2. The top outer wall of the placement plate 411 contacts the bottom of the tonearm 3. The placement plate 411 can support the tonearm 3 when it is not in use.

[0030] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 An auxiliary mechanism 5 is provided on the top of the housing 2. The auxiliary mechanism 5 includes a fixing groove 502, which is opened on the outer wall of the tonearm 3. A positioning plate 503 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing groove 502. A threaded sleeve 504 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the positioning plate 503. After the tonearm 3 is placed on the record, a screw 505 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded sleeve 504. A sliding seat 506 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the screw 505. A slidable ball is provided at the bottom of the sliding seat 506. A smooth plate 501 is fixedly connected to the top of the housing 2. The screw 505 on the threaded sleeve 504 and the ball at the bottom of the sliding seat 506 are slidably connected to the smooth plate 501, which increases the support of the tonearm 3, so that the stylus does not fall on the record entirely by gravity, thus reducing vibration and wear. Furthermore, by rotating the screw 505, the height of the entire positioning plate 503 can be adjusted, and further precise adjustment can be achieved in conjunction with the adjustment mechanism 4.

[0031] Working principle: The tonearm 3 is rotatably connected to the top outer wall of the housing 2. When not in use, the tonearm 3 is placed on the placement plate 411. The placement plate 411 supports the tonearm 3, preventing damage to the connection parts due to prolonged suspension, and also preventing the tonearm 3 from accidentally shaking.

[0032] Depending on the type and texture of the record, and playback requirements, the horizontal position of the tonearm 3 needs to be adjusted. Rotating the elliptical wheel 406 causes its protrusions to press against the limiting plate 407. Under the pressure of the elliptical wheel 406, the limiting plate 407 drives the slider 404 to slide on the slide rail 403. When the slider 404 moves towards one end of the axis between the tonearm 3 and the housing 2, it increases the weight at that end, making the other end of the tonearm 3 more stable under gravity and preventing it from easily falling. When the slider 404 moves to the other side, it allows the tonearm 3 to press down under gravity, making the stylus fit more tightly against the record, improving the accuracy of reading record information. This achieves the initial adjustment of the tonearm 3's horizontal position. After the stylus moves to the innermost position, the ball bearings will also move around the axis of rotation of the tonearm 3 and move to a smooth surface. The inner side of plate 501 does not contact the record, which provides additional support for tonearm 3, so that the stylus no longer relies entirely on gravity to contact the record, thus adapting to the playback requirements of different records. When tonearm 3 is adjusted to a suitable horizontal position, the limiting plate 407 is pushed, so that the magnetic block 409 on the outer wall of the limiting plate 407 is inserted into the magnetic groove 410 on the outer wall of the slide rail 403. The magnet fixed on the inner wall of the magnetic groove 410 will generate a strong attraction force with the magnetic block 409, firmly fixing the slider 404 and the tonearm 3 connected to it in the current position. In this way, even if the tonearm 3 is subjected to slight external vibration or vibration generated by the operation of the box itself during record playback, the stylus can stably follow the groove of the record and continuously and accurately read the record information, ensuring the stability of music playback.

[0033] After placing tonearm 3 on the record for playback, position the stylus closest to the outermost edge of the record and control the position of the end where the positioning plate 503 is located. Rotate screw 505, which causes the threaded sleeve 504 to move up and down. The ball bearings at the bottom of the sliding seat 506 slide on the outer edge of the smooth plate 501. After the stylus moves to the innermost edge, the ball bearings also move around the axis of rotation of tonearm 3 and move to the inner edge of the smooth plate 501 without contacting the record. This provides additional support for tonearm 3, so that the stylus no longer relies entirely on gravity to contact the record, effectively reducing stylus vibration during playback, reducing wear between the stylus and the record, and extending the service life of the stylus and the record. In addition, by precisely rotating screw 505, the height of positioning plate 503 can be finely adjusted, which, together with adjustment mechanism 4, allows for more precise adjustment of tonearm 3, further optimizing the contact state between the stylus and the record, improving sound quality, and achieving high-quality music playback.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
