Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sheng (a type of Chinese mouth organ) technology, specifically to an electronic sheng. Background Technology

[0002] The sheng is constructed by attaching copper reeds to the lower ends of several bamboo tubes, which are then inserted into a wooden or copper mouthpiece with a blowhole. When playing, the player presses their fingers against the holes at the lower ends of the bamboo tubes, causing the reeds to resonate with the air column inside the tubes and produce musical sounds.

[0003] Traditional sheng instruments produce sound by blowing through the mouth and blocking the air holes with the fingers, but this is quite difficult for beginners. Also, saliva tends to accumulate in the mouthpiece when beginners are learning, and if it is not disassembled and cleaned in time, it can easily lead to mold growth. Utility Model Content

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an electronic sheng (a type of Chinese mouth organ) musical instrument, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This electronic sheng (a traditional Chinese wind instrument) can be switched to beginner learning mode via a touch screen. Beginner songs and practice scales are pre-played through the speaker, and corresponding LEDs light up. Users can then block the corresponding air holes on the sheng pipe with their fingers. Playing through the mouthpiece causes the air to vibrate through the reeds, generating audio signals that are detected by a microphone and transmitted to a noise processor, circuit board, and microcontroller. The resulting audio signals are displayed as numerical bars on the touch screen. When the numerical bar of the played note matches the numerical bar of the practice scale, it indicates that the scale was played accurately. This process is repeated to learn the corresponding scale, making it convenient for beginners.

[0018] 2. In this electronic sheng instrument, when the square tube is inserted into the connecting tube, the spring pushes the locking head into the slot, thus locking the mouthpiece in place. At the same time, the driving plug moves deeper into the threaded groove, compressing the spring and increasing the squeezing force of the locking head to ensure that the mouthpiece does not separate from the sheng mouthpiece. Conversely, when the driving plug moves out of the threaded groove, the squeezing force of the locking head decreases. Then, by applying an external pulling force to the mouthpiece, the square tube will separate from the connecting tube, allowing the mouthpiece to be disassembled and easily cleaned.

[0031] Please see Figure 6 A mounting base 25 is inserted and installed at the bottom of the sheng pipe 3. A frame 26 is glued to the inclined surface of the mounting base 25. A reed 27 is installed inside the frame 26. The mounting base 25 is located inside the annular air chamber 6. Air enters the annular air chamber 6 from the mouthpiece 2, and then vibrates through the reed 27 to produce sound. The air and sound are then expelled from the sheng pipe 3, and the sound is amplified by the amplifier pipe 4.

[0032] Example 2, please refer to Figures 3-4 The cavity 5 houses a lithium battery assembly 8, a circuit board, and a microcontroller 9. The circuit board and microcontroller 9 are located above the lithium battery assembly 8. The circuit board and microcontroller 9 contain built-in logic programs for easy sound processing and numerical display. The surface of the sheng tube 1 is embedded with a ring of LED lights 10, a speaker 11, and a touch screen 12. The number of LED lights 10 is set according to the number of sheng tubes 3. A microphone 15 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the annular air chamber 6. The microphone 15 is used to record the vibrations of the beginner's playing. The microphone 15 can be installed above the inner wall of the annular air chamber 6 to prevent saliva from wetting it.

[0033] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 The bottom of the sheng (a type of reed pipe) 1 is fitted with a bottom cover 7. Inside the bottom cover 7 are a charging connector 13 and a power button 14. The outer wall of the sheng 1 is fitted with touch-sensitive buttons 28, each corresponding to a sheng pipe 3. The charging connector 13 and the power button 14 are electrically connected to the lithium battery assembly 8. The lithium battery assembly 8, LED lights 10, and touch-sensitive buttons 28 are electrically connected to the circuit board and microcontroller 9. The circuit board and microcontroller 9 are respectively connected to the touch display screen 12 and the speaker 11. The circuit board and microcontroller 9 are also connected to the music memory, Bluetooth module, volume controller, and noise processor. The noise processor is connected to the microphone 15.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] Beginner Teaching Mode 1: Switch to beginner learning mode via touch screen 12, play beginner songs to practice scales via speaker 11, and simultaneously light up the corresponding LED 10, and block the corresponding air hole of the sheng pipe 3 with your finger.

[0036] Then, start blowing through mouthpiece 2. The air passes through reed 27 and vibrates, producing an audio signal. This signal is detected by microphone 15 and transmitted to noise processor, circuit board, and microcontroller 9 for processing. The vibration audio signal is then displayed as a numerical bar on touch screen 12. When the numerical bar of the blown note coincides with the numerical bar of the practice scale, it indicates that the scale is played accurately. This process is repeated to learn the corresponding scale, making it convenient for novice users to learn.

[0037] It can also connect to a mobile phone via Bluetooth module to play other songs through the speaker 11, adding to the fun; it can also recall and play pre-stored songs in the music memory via the touch screen 12.

[0038] Beginner Teaching Mode Two: Switch to beginner learning mode via the touchscreen display 12. The speaker 11 will pre-play a beginner song practice scale, and the corresponding LED 10 will light up. Press the corresponding touch button 28 with your finger. The touch button 28 generates a circuit signal that is transmitted to the circuit board and microcontroller 9 for processing, and the speaker 11 will play the corresponding practice scale again. Simultaneously, the audio value bar will be displayed on the touchscreen display 12. In normal mode, simply press the touch button 28 with your finger, and the circuit board and microcontroller 9 will control the speaker 11 to directly play the scale of the sheng (a type of Chinese wind instrument) 3.

[0039] Installation and disassembly cleaning process: Insert the square tube 17 into the connecting tube 16. The spring 21 will push the clamp 23 into the slot 24 to lock the mouthpiece 2 in place. At the same time, drive the plug 20 to go deeper into the threaded groove 19. The spring 21 is compressed, which increases the squeezing force of the clamp 23 to ensure that the mouthpiece 2 and the mouthpiece 1 will not separate.

[0040] Conversely, when the drive plug 20 moves out of the threaded groove 19, the squeezing force of the chuck 23 decreases; then, by applying an external pulling force to the nozzle 2, the square tube 17 will separate from the connecting tube 16, thereby disassembling the nozzle 2 and facilitating cleaning of the nozzle 2.

[0041] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
