[0002] The flute is a traditional wind instrument. With the development of the times, there are more and more types of flutes, and flutes made of various materials are now available. Different flutes are suitable for different repertoires, so performers often have to carry multiple flutes, which is very inconvenient. In the existing technology, there are some methods for combining flutes; however, their purpose is only to shorten the length of the flute for easier carrying. For example, patent publication number CN 215183008U discloses a combined multi-functional flute. However, this solution only aims to shorten the flute's length for easier carrying and provides a certain visual effect when playing; it does not allow the flutes to be flexibly combined according to the repertoire to be played, enabling the flutes to be combined into a single instrument capable of playing multiple pieces.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below through embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0021] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the multifunctional combination flute of this utility model includes a playing section 1, a membrane hole section 2, and a finger hole section 32. The playing section 1, the membrane hole section 2, and the finger hole section 3 are connected to the inner sleeve through a tube.
[0022] The materials for the blowing section 1, membrane hole section 2, and finger hole section 3 can be selected as needed, with bamboo flute tubes or flute tubes made of rosewood being preferred.
[0023] The length of the playing section 1 can be selected as needed. The playing section 1 is provided with a blowhole 11. The location of the blowhole 11 is existing technology and will not be described in detail. Based on the size and shape of the blowhole 11 on the playing section 1, it can be divided into a playing section suitable for light blowing and a playing section suitable for heavy blowing. The light blowing section is suitable for non-professional players, and the heavy blowing section is suitable for professional players. The difference between the light blowing section and the heavy blowing section lies in the shape of the blowhole. For specific details, refer to the blowholes on existing light-blowing flutes and heavy-blowing flutes for processing.
[0024] A connecting part is provided at the lower end of the playing section 1, and a first insertion tube 12 is provided in the connecting part. The first insertion tube 12 is coaxially arranged with the playing section 1, and a reinforcing collar 13 is provided on the outer wall of the connecting part.
[0025] The length of the membrane hole segment 2 can be selected as needed. A membrane hole 21 is provided on the membrane hole segment 2, and a flute 22 is attached to the membrane hole 21. The setting position of the membrane hole 21 is the prior art and will not be described in detail.
[0026] Based on the size and shape of the membrane holes in section 2, it can be divided into a first membrane hole section suitable for opera performance and a second membrane hole section suitable for solo performance. The membrane holes in the first membrane hole section are nearly circular. Taking D major as an example, the length of the first membrane hole is usually 8mm and the width is 7mm. The membrane holes in the second membrane hole section are slender elliptical, with a length of 8mm and a width of 5mm.
[0027] A first inner sleeve 23 is embedded in the upper inner hole of the membrane section 2. The inner diameter of the first inner sleeve 23 is adapted to the outer diameter of the first insertion tube 12 on the connecting part of the playing section 1. A reinforcing collar 24 is provided on the upper outer wall of the membrane section 2. The first insertion tube 12 of the playing section 1 is inserted and connected to the first inner sleeve 23 of the membrane section 2.

A reinforcing collar is provided on the lower outer wall of the membrane section 2.
[0028] The length of finger hole section 3 can be selected as needed. Finger hole section 3 has finger holes 31, tone holes 32, and a fundamental tone hole. The positions of finger holes 31, tone holes 32, and the fundamental tone hole can be set according to the pitch of the flute. Tone holes 32 and the fundamental tone hole are located near the lower end of finger hole section 3, with tone hole 32 on the same side as finger holes 31 (i.e., both tone holes 32 and finger holes 31 are located on the front side of finger hole section 3), and the fundamental tone hole is located on the rear side of tone holes 31. Based on the spacing of the finger holes on finger hole section 3, it can be divided into a first finger hole section suitable for winter use and a second finger hole section suitable for summer use. Taking D major as an example, the spacing of the finger holes on the first finger hole section is 316mm. The spacing of the finger holes 31 on the second finger hole section is 348mm. This configuration allows for the assembly of a flute suitable for summer or winter play, depending on the ambient temperature. In addition to the two finger hole spacings mentioned above, the finger hole segments for spring and autumn can be obtained by fine-tuning the spacings mentioned above.
[0029] A second inner sleeve 34 is embedded in the upper inner hole of the finger hole segment 3. The second inner sleeve 34 is coaxially arranged with the finger hole segment 3. The inner diameter of the second inner sleeve 34 is adapted to the outer diameter of the second insertion tube 25 at the lower end of the membrane hole segment 2. The second insertion tube 25 at the lower end of the membrane hole segment 2 is inserted into the second inner sleeve 34.
[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the reinforcing collar, the first inner sleeve 23, the first insertion tube 12, the second inner sleeve 34, and the second insertion tube 25 are all made of stainless steel or copper. This arrangement allows for smoother insertion of the playing section 1, the membrane hole section 2, and the finger hole section 3, while also preventing rust at the insertion points and extending their service life.
[0031] This utility model discloses a multifunctional combination flute. The blowing section, membrane hole section, and finger hole section are connected by an insert tube and an inner sleeve. Each of these sections can include at least two types, allowing users to flexibly assemble the flute according to their playing style, whether they prefer a light or heavy blowing style, or the season. This multifunctional combination flute allows for both heavy blowing by professional players and light blowing by amateur players through the choice of the blowing section. The membrane hole section can be chosen for both opera playing and flute solos. The finger hole section can be selected according to the season to improve intonation. This significantly reduces the number of flutes that need to be carried, expanding the flute's functionality. The insert tube and inner sleeve connection ensures airtightness at the connection point, guaranteeing the flute's sound quality. A reinforcing ring on the outer wall of the connection point protects the end face, preventing deformation or cracking of the flute tube and extending its service life.
[0032] 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.
