Detailed implementation method:

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model includes a neck base 1 and a silicone panel 2 disposed on the top of the neck base 1. The silicone panel 2 includes a left edge portion 22 connected to the top left side of the neck base 1, a right edge portion 23 connected to the top right side of the neck base 1, and a middle pressing portion 21 disposed between the left edge portion 22 and the right edge portion 23. The silicone panel 2 has an overall U-shaped structure with the opening facing downwards. Compared with existing electric guitar necks, the silicone panel 2 of this utility model, including the left edge portion 22 connected to the top left side of the neck base 1, the right edge portion 23 connected to the top right side of the neck base 1, and the middle pressing portion 21 disposed between the left edge portion 22 and the right edge portion 23, can wrap the top sides of the neck base 1, avoiding the problem of discomfort in the hand, and providing a better overall feel, which is more likely to be favored by consumers.

[0021] The neck seat 1 has a central mounting groove 11 recessed downwards at the top center, a left mounting groove 12 recessed to the right at the top left side, and a right mounting groove 13 recessed to the left at the top right side. The central pressing part 21 of the silicone panel 2 is located in the central mounting groove 11, and the top of the central pressing part 21 is flush with the top of the neck seat 1. The left edge part 22 of the silicone panel 2 is located in the left mounting groove 12, and the left side of the left edge part 22 is flush with the left side of the neck seat 1. The right edge part 23 of the silicone panel 2 is located in the right mounting groove 13, and the right side of the right edge part 23 is flush with the right side of the neck seat 1. The silicone panel 2 and the neck seat 1 can be better integrated, which not only improves the overall appearance but also makes the overall feel less obtrusive and more comfortable to hold.

[0022] The part where the neck seat 1 connects to the silicone panel 2 is formed with multiple nanopores and forms a nanopore surface. The silicone panel 2 is integrally injection molded and tightly bonded to the nanopore surface of the neck seat 1 to form an integral structure, which can enhance the bonding force between the neck seat 1 and the silicone panel 2, so that the silicone panel 2 can be more firmly connected to the neck seat 1 and is not easy to fall off. Of course, the silicone panel 2 of this utility model can also be directly connected to the neck seat 1 by adhesive bonding.

[0023] A control circuit board 3 is installed inside the neck base 1. A piezoresistive sensor assembly 4 is installed between the silicone panel 2 and the neck base 1. The piezoresistive sensor assembly 4 includes a carbon film layer 41 disposed at the bottom of the silicone panel 2 and an impedance sensing layer 42 disposed below the carbon film layer 41. The impedance sensing layer 42 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 3. Compared with existing electronic guitar necks that simulate pressing traditional strings by pressing buttons, this invention deforms the silicone panel 2 by pressing. The silicone panel 2 correspondingly moves the carbon film layer 41 downward and makes contact with the impedance sensing layer 42. Since the impedance value of the impedance sensing layer 42 changes accordingly with the amount of contact between the carbon film layer 41 and the carbon film layer 41, various pressing conditions can be detected and identified by the change in the impedance value of the impedance sensing layer 42. By simulating the function of pressing traditional strings in this way, a smooth pressing can be achieved. It better matches the action of pressing the strings on a traditional guitar, resulting in a better overall pressing feel. Furthermore, compared to the previous method of pressing buttons where the pressing force could not be changed, this invention allows adjustment of the pressing force by adjusting the impedance sensitivity of the impedance sensing layer 42. For example, some people prefer a lighter feel, so the impedance sensitivity of the impedance sensing layer 42 can be reduced, requiring only a light force to press the silicone panel 2 and bring a smaller area of ​​the carbon film layer 41 into contact with the impedance sensing layer 42 to be recognized as a press. Others prefer a heavier feel, so the impedance sensitivity of the impedance sensing layer 42 can be increased, requiring a larger force to press the silicone panel 2 and bring a larger area of ​​the carbon film layer 41 into contact with the impedance sensing layer 42 to be recognized as a press. This better meets the different needs of different users for varying pressing force.

[0024] Both the carbon film layer 41 and the impedance sensing layer 42 of this invention are flexible and bendable. The carbon film layer 41 includes several intermediate carbon film block areas 411 and / or several left carbon film block areas 412 and / or several right carbon film block areas 413. Each intermediate carbon film block area 411 is located between the middle pressing part 21 of the silicone panel 2 and the top of the neck seat 1. Each left carbon film block area 412 is located between the left edge part 22 of the silicone panel 2 and the top left side of the neck seat 1. Each right carbon film block area 413 is located between the right edge part of the silicone panel 2. Between the 23 and the top right side of the neck 1, the impedance sensing layer 42 includes a middle impedance sensing area 421, which is the same number and position as the middle carbon film block area 411; a left impedance sensing area 422, which is the same number and position as the left carbon film block area 412; and a right impedance sensing area 423, which is the same number and position as the right carbon film block area 413. Compared with the existing electric guitar neck, which can only be used for pressing detection at the top middle position, the left and right sides of this utility model can also be used for pressing detection, thereby enabling richer performance.

[0025] A spacer support layer 43 is provided between the carbon film layer 41 and the impedance sensing layer 42. The spacer support layer 43 can better prevent false triggering between the carbon film layer 41 and the impedance sensing layer 42. In this embodiment, the spacer support layer 43 is 3M adhesive tape, which is not only easy to install, but also can effectively separate the carbon film layer 41 and the impedance sensing layer 42. During installation, it is only necessary to attach the 3M adhesive tape between the carbon film layer 41 and the impedance sensing layer 42 and in other positions around the carbon film block area or the impedance sensing block area.

[0026] The silicone panel 2 is integrally injection molded, which not only reduces the number of parts, but also increases the connection strength between the middle pressing part 21, the left edge part 22, and the right edge part 23 of the silicone panel 2, resulting in a longer overall service life.

[0027] The smooth arc transition between the middle pressing part 21 and the left edge part 22 of the silicone panel 2, and the smooth arc transition between the middle pressing part 21 and the right edge part 23 of the silicone panel 2, can further ensure that it is not uncomfortable to hold and the overall feel is better.

[0028] Of course, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the claims of the present utility model patent application are included in the scope of the present utility model patent application.
