Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to musical instrument accessories, and more particularly to an integrally molded oboe reed. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional oboe reeds are usually made from the stem of a reed, but some are made from materials such as sugarcane or bamboo strips. They are fixed to a copper cork tube with nylon thread wrapped around the bottom, and some are made from cork tubes made of gold or silver. During use, the user must cut the reed stem himself, and the reed must be soaked in water for several minutes before use to soften it so that it can vibrate fully and produce a mellow tone. Therefore, it has the disadvantages of being inconvenient to make and use.
[0003] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, some solutions have been proposed, such as CN220709943U. This solution includes a reed holder copper tube with a reed assembly mounted on its outer side. The reed assembly consists of a reed and a sleeve. The reed is fitted onto one end of the reed holder copper tube, with its inner side in close contact with the outer side of the reed holder copper tube. A sleeve is fitted onto the reed, with its inner side in close contact with the outer side of the reed. A binding thread is attached to the outer side of the sleeve at a position corresponding to the end of the reed holder copper tube. One end of the reed holder copper tube has a circular portion integrally fixed, and the other end has a first elliptical portion integrally fixed. While this solution resolves the inconvenience of use, it still suffers from manufacturing inconvenience and a relatively poor tone. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention provides an integrally molded oboe reed, which overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: an integrally molded oboe reed, which is made of plastic and includes a cylindrical segment, a rotating segment and a reed segment arranged sequentially along a first direction. The cylindrical segment and the rotating segment are arranged coaxially and the reed segment is fishtail-shaped. The outer peripheral wall of the reed segment is formed by extending the end periphery of the outer peripheral wall of the rotating segment. The oboe reed has a through hole that penetrates through the first direction. The through hole includes a gradually decreasing hole segment at a certain position corresponding to the gradually decreasing hole diameter from the cylindrical segment to the rotating segment and a fishtail-shaped hole segment at a certain position corresponding to the reed segment. The fishtail-shaped hole segment is formed by extending the end periphery of the gradually decreasing hole segment. The reed segment has a cut that is recessed at the end face and penetrates the inside and outside of the fishtail-shaped hole segment.
[0006] In one embodiment: there are two cuts, which are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the fish tail shape.
[0007] In one embodiment: the depth of the incision is 1 / 5 to 4 / 5 of the height of the whistle fragment along the first direction.
[0008] In one embodiment: the gradually decreasing hole section is a conical hole section, which is set to gradually decrease from the outside to the inside.
[0009] In one embodiment: the inner port of the fishtail-shaped hole segment is circular, and the end port is elliptical, and the elliptical structure is formed by the gradual extension of the circular structure outward; the inner edge of the whistle segment is circular, and the end edge is elliptical, and the elliptical structure is formed by the gradual extension of the circular structure outward.
[0010] In one embodiment, it has two symmetrical planes passing through the axis, the two symmetrical planes are arranged perpendicularly, and the reed is symmetrically arranged with respect to the axis of the two symmetrical planes.
[0011] In one embodiment: the thickness of the whistle segment decreases linearly from the inside to the outside along a first direction.
[0012] In one embodiment: the outer peripheral wall of the rotating segment is a cylindrical surface, or a conical surface formed by the gradual extension of the end periphery of the outer peripheral wall of the cylindrical segment, or an arc surface formed by the gradual extension of the end periphery of the outer peripheral wall of the cylindrical segment.
[0013] In one embodiment: the outer peripheral wall of the rotating segment is a cylindrical surface, and the outer diameter of the cylindrical segment is larger than the outer diameter of the cylindrical surface; a stepped surface or a conical wall or an arc surface formed by rotating an arc around the axis is provided between the outer peripheral wall of the cylindrical segment and the outer peripheral wall of the rotating segment.
[0014] In one embodiment, the oboe whistle is integrally molded using a plastic, rubber, or elastomer material injection molding process.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, this technical solution has the following advantages:
[0016] The oboe reed is made of one-piece molded plastic and includes a cylindrical section, a rotating section, and a reed segment. The reed segment is fishtail-shaped, with a slit extending from the concave end face through the inside and outside of the fishtail-shaped hole. This design offers several advantages: firstly, it simplifies manufacturing and reduces costs; secondly, the plastic itself has elasticity, and the slit enhances this elasticity, allowing for vibration; thirdly, unlike traditional reed reeds, it does not require soaking before use, making it convenient; and fourthly, the fishtail shape makes it easy to blow and produces a good tone. The through hole includes a tapering section and a fishtail-shaped section. The fishtail-shaped section extends from the periphery of the conical section, and the gradual transition of the through hole eliminates any steps caused by assembling multiple structures, resulting in a superior tone.
[0017] The inner port of the fishtail-shaped hole segment has a circular structure, and the outer port has an elliptical structure. The elliptical structure is formed by gradually extending outward from the circular structure. Alternatively, the inner edge of the whistle segment has a circular structure, and the outer edge has an elliptical structure, which is formed by gradually extending outward from the circular structure, resulting in a good tone.
[0018] The thickness of the whistle segment decreases linearly from the inside to the outside along the first direction, which facilitates one-piece molding and produces a good tone.
[0019] The outer peripheral wall of the rotating section is cylindrical or conical, which facilitates one-piece molding. Alternatively, the outer peripheral wall of the rotating section can be arc-shaped, which also facilitates one-piece molding and results in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
[0020] The outer peripheral wall of the cylindrical section and the outer peripheral wall of the rotating section are provided with a stepped surface or conical wall with a vertical axis, or an arc surface formed by rotating an arc around the axis, which facilitates integral molding and user use.
[0021] There are two cuts, which are arranged on the left and right sides of the fish tail shape, so that the front part of the whistle segment is divided into upper and lower parts, releasing elasticity and enhancing the vibration effect. Attached Figure Description

[0046] Example 1
[0047] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 An integrally molded oboe whistle is made of a plastic material, such as plastic, rubber, or elastomer, and the integral molding process is such as injection molding.
[0048] The oboe reed includes a cylindrical segment 1, a rotating segment 2, and a reed segment 3 arranged sequentially along a first direction. The cylindrical segment 1 connects to the body of the oboe, and the first direction is the up-down direction as shown in the figure. The outer peripheral wall of the rotating segment 2 is cylindrical. The cylindrical segment 1 and the rotating segment 2 are arranged coaxially, and the outer diameter of the cylindrical segment 1 is larger than the outer diameter of the cylindrical surface of the rotating segment 2. The reed segment 3 is fishtail shaped, and its outer peripheral wall is formed by extending the end periphery of the outer peripheral wall of the rotating segment 2. Specifically, the inner end edge of the reed segment 3 is circular, and the outer end edge is elliptical, with the elliptical structure gradually changing outward from the circular structure; and the thickness of the reed segment 3 linearly decreases from the inside to the outside along the first direction.
[0049] The oboe reed has a through hole extending in a first direction. This through hole includes a conical hole segment 4 located at one position corresponding to the transition from the cylindrical segment 1 to the rotating segment 2, and a fishtail-shaped hole segment 5 located at one position corresponding to the reed segment 3. The conical hole segment 4 gradually decreases in size from the outside to the inside. The fishtail-shaped hole segment 5 extends from the periphery of the conical hole segment 4. Specifically, the inner port of the fishtail-shaped hole segment 5 is circular, and the outer port is elliptical, with the elliptical structure gradually transitioning outward from the circular structure.
[0050] The whistle segment 3 has a slit 31 recessed at its end face and extending through the inside and outside of the fishtail-shaped hole segment 5. There are two slits 31, located on the left and right sides of the fishtail shape, respectively. Specifically, the line connecting the two slits corresponds to the two ends of the long axis, forming two upper and lower suspension plates at the front of the whistle segment 3 to release elasticity and enhance the vibration effect. The depth of the slit 31 is 1 / 3 to 2 / 3, such as 2 / 5, of the height of the whistle segment 3 along the first direction, resulting in good elasticity. The width of the slit 31 is 1 / 2 to 4 / 5, such as 2 / 3, of the thickness at the end of the whistle segment 3, but can vary depending on the processing method and precision.
[0051] The oboe reed has two symmetrical planes passing through the axis, the two symmetrical planes are arranged perpendicularly, and the oboe reed is symmetrically arranged with respect to the axes of the two symmetrical planes. The two symmetrical planes also pass through the major axis and minor axis of the aforementioned ellipse, respectively.
[0052] In this embodiment, a conical wall 61 is provided between the outer peripheral wall of the cylindrical segment 1 and the outer peripheral wall of the rotating segment 2. The conical wall 61 extends from the end periphery of the outer peripheral wall of the cylindrical segment 1 to the end periphery of the outer peripheral wall of the whistle segment 3.
[0053] Example 2
[0054] Please refer to Figures 12 to 15 The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that a stepped surface 62 with a vertical axis is formed between the cylindrical segment 1 and the rotating segment 2.
[0055] Example 3
[0056] Please refer to Figures 16 to 19The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that a conical wall 61 and an arcuate circumferential surface 63 are provided between the outer peripheral wall of the cylindrical segment 1 and the outer peripheral wall of the rotating segment 2. The conical wall 61 is formed by extending from the end periphery of the outer peripheral wall of the cylindrical segment 1, and the arcuate circumferential surface 63 extends from the end periphery of the conical wall 61 to the end periphery of the outer peripheral wall of the segment 3.
[0057] Example 4
[0058] Please refer to Figures 20 to 23 The difference between this and Embodiment 1 is that the rotating segment 2 is a conical surface, which is formed by the gradual extension of the outer periphery of the cylindrical segment 1 to the outer periphery of the whistle segment 3.
[0059] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, and therefore cannot be used to limit the scope of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the present utility model patent and the contents of the specification should still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
