Abstract
Description
Technical fields:
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic guitar technology, and in particular to an electronic guitar neck. Background technology:
[0002] With social development and technological advancements, electronic guitars have emerged on the market. Existing electronic guitars, such as the Chinese utility model patent application number CN200920310753.7, generally include a body and a neck. The neck uses buttons to simulate the function of pressing traditional strings. Although pressing the buttons avoids the finger injuries caused by pressing the strings in the past, it cannot achieve a smooth gliding motion, and the overall pressing feel is relatively average. There is an urgent need for an electronic guitar neck with a better feel. Utility Model Content:
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electronic guitar neck that addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies, enabling smooth gliding and better conforming to the action of pressing the strings on a traditional guitar, resulting in a better overall pressing feel.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: an electronic guitar neck, including a neck seat, a control circuit board disposed within the neck seat, a silicone panel disposed on the top of the neck seat, and a piezoresistive sensor assembly disposed between the neck seat and the silicone panel. The piezoresistive sensor assembly includes a carbon film layer disposed at the bottom of the silicone panel and an impedance sensing layer disposed below the carbon film layer. The impedance sensing layer is electrically connected to the control circuit board.
[0005] A further improvement to the above scheme is that the carbon film layer includes several carbon film block regions, and the impedance sensing layer includes impedance sensing block regions that are the same number as the carbon film block regions and whose positions correspond to them.
[0006] A further improvement to the above scheme is that a spacer support layer is provided between the carbon film layer and the impedance sensing layer.
[0007] A further improvement to the above solution is that the spacer support layer is 3M adhesive tape.
[0008] A further improvement to the above scheme is that the top of the carbon film layer is connected to the bottom of the silicone panel, and the bottom of the impedance sensing layer is connected to the top of the neck mount.
[0009] A further improvement to the above solution is that the top of the neck seat is formed with a wire hole.
[0010] A further improvement to the above scheme is that the top of the neck seat is provided with several positioning posts, and the carbon film layer and the impedance sensing layer are respectively formed with positioning holes for fitting onto the positioning posts.
[0011] A further improvement to the above solution is that the part where the neck seat connects to the silicone panel is formed with multiple nanopores and forms a nanopore surface. The silicone panel is tightly bonded to the nanopore surface of the neck seat through integral injection molding to form an integral structure.
[0012] A further improvement to the above scheme is that the carbon film layer and the impedance sensing layer are an integral structure, one side of the carbon film layer is connected to one side of the impedance sensing layer, and the impedance sensing layer is bent and disposed below the carbon film layer.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides an electronic guitar neck, including a neck seat, a control circuit board disposed in the neck seat, a silicone panel disposed on the top of the neck seat, and a piezoresistive sensor assembly disposed between the neck seat and the silicone panel. The piezoresistive sensor assembly includes a carbon film layer disposed at the bottom of the silicone panel and an impedance sensing layer disposed below the carbon film layer. The impedance sensing layer is electrically connected to the control circuit board.
[0014] Compared to existing electronic guitar necks that simulate pressing traditional strings by pressing buttons, this invention uses a silicone panel that deforms under pressure. This causes the silicone panel to move downwards and come into contact with the impedance sensing layer. Since the impedance of the impedance sensing layer changes with the amount of contact with the carbon film, various pressing conditions can be detected and identified by monitoring these changes in impedance. This method simulates the function of pressing traditional strings, achieving a smooth, silky feel and better mimicking the action of pressing strings on a traditional guitar, resulting in a better overall pressing experience. Furthermore, compared to the previous method of pressing buttons, the pressing detection... Since the force applied cannot be changed, this invention allows adjustment of the pressure detection force by adjusting the impedance sensitivity of the impedance sensing layer. For example, some people prefer a lighter feel, so the impedance sensitivity of the impedance sensing layer can be reduced. Only a light force is needed to press the silicone panel and bring a smaller area of the carbon film layer into contact with the impedance sensing layer to be recognized as a press. Others prefer a heavier feel, so the impedance sensitivity of the impedance sensing layer can be increased. Only when a larger force is used to press the silicone panel and bring a larger area of the carbon film layer into contact with the impedance sensing layer will it be recognized as a press. This better meets the different needs of different people for different pressure levels. Attached image description:

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 mount 1, a control circuit board 2 disposed within the neck mount 1, a silicone panel 3 disposed on the top of the neck mount 1, and a piezoresistive sensor assembly 4 disposed between the neck mount 1 and the silicone panel 3. The piezoresistive sensor assembly 4 includes a carbon film layer 41 disposed at the bottom of the silicone panel 3 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 2. Compared to existing electronic guitar necks that simulate pressing traditional strings by pressing buttons, this utility model deforms the silicone panel 3 by pressing, causing the silicone panel 3 to move the carbon film layer 41 downwards and into contact with the impedance sensing layer 42. Since the impedance value of the impedance sensing layer 42 changes 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, thus simulating pressing. Traditional strings offer a smooth, gliding feel, better mimicking the action of pressing strings on a traditional guitar, resulting in a better overall pressing experience. Furthermore, unlike traditional methods where the pressure detection force cannot be adjusted by pressing buttons, this invention allows for adjustment of the pressure detection force by regulating the impedance sensitivity of the impedance sensing layer 42. For example, some users prefer a lighter feel, so the impedance sensitivity of the impedance sensing layer 42 can be reduced, requiring only a light touch on the silicone panel 3 to bring a smaller area of the carbon film layer 41 into contact with the impedance sensing layer 42 for a press. Conversely, some users 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 3 and bring a larger area of the carbon film layer 41 into contact with the impedance sensing layer 42 for a press. This better meets the different needs of users who require varying pressure levels.
[0021] The carbon film layer 41 includes several carbon film block areas 411, and the impedance sensing layer 42 includes impedance sensing block areas 421 that are the same number as the carbon film block areas 411 and correspond to each other in position. By pressing the silicone panel 3 at different positions, the carbon film block areas 411 and impedance sensing block areas 421 at the corresponding positions can be made conductive, thereby enabling multi-position detection and allowing for richer performance.
[0022] 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 to other positions around the carbon film block area 411 or the impedance sensing block area 421.
[0023] The top of the carbon film layer 41 is connected to the bottom of the silicone panel 3, and the bottom of the impedance sensing layer 42 is connected to the top of the neck seat 1. In this embodiment, the top of the carbon film layer 41 is bonded to the bottom of the silicone panel 3 by an adhesive sticker, and the bottom of the impedance sensing layer 42 is bonded to the top of the neck seat 1 by an adhesive sticker.
[0024] The top of the neck seat 1 is formed with a wire hole 11, which makes it easier for the impedance sensing layer 42 to be connected to the control circuit board 2 located inside the neck seat 1.
[0025] The top of the neck seat 1 is provided with several positioning posts 5. The carbon film layer 41 and the impedance sensing layer 42 are respectively formed with positioning holes 6 for fitting onto the positioning posts 5. By cooperating with the positioning holes 6 and the positioning posts 5, the carbon film layer 41 and the impedance sensing layer 42 can be better prevented from shifting position, thereby achieving better stable detection.
[0026] The part where the neck seat 1 connects to the silicone panel 3 is formed with multiple nanopores and forms a nanopore surface. The silicone panel 3 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 3, so that the silicone panel 3 can be more firmly connected to the neck seat 1 and is not easy to fall off. Of course, the silicone panel 3 of this utility model can also be directly bonded to the neck seat 1.
[0027] Compared to the independently set carbon film layer 41 and impedance sensing layer 42, the carbon film layer 41 and impedance sensing layer 42 of this utility model are an integral structure. One side of the carbon film layer 41 is connected to one side of the impedance sensing layer 42, and the impedance sensing layer 42 is bent and set below the carbon film layer 41. This not only makes the whole structure easier to process and manufacture, but also makes the whole structure easier to align and install. Both the carbon film layer 41 and the impedance sensing layer 42 of this utility model are flexible and bendable.
[0028] Working principle:
[0029] When the silicone panel 3 is pressed, the silicone panel 3 deforms accordingly and moves the carbon film layer 41 downward. The carbon film layer 41 comes into contact with the impedance sensing layer 42 and generates a corresponding electrical signal to the control circuit board 2. This utility model can achieve silky smooth pressing, which can better fit the action of pressing the strings of a traditional guitar, and the overall pressing feel is better.
[0030] 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.
